Huayu after the system left

.......

During meals.

Liu Manting received a phone call and then said that she would be going back to Yanjing the next day.

Since it was mentioned casually, Brother Wang asked with some confusion, "Didn't you say the child would stay in Yanjing first, and then be brought over when the house here is habitable?"

Liu Manting did not answer her husband's question directly.

Instead, she said in an unusually melancholy tone, "I am attending the funeral of an honorary dean of the Tsinghua University Academy of Fine Arts on behalf of my teacher."

Zhou Yang, who was serving food to Wang Churan, suddenly started coughing violently.

he knows.

The traditional Chinese style faction within the art world behind Liu Manting benefited considerably from this incident.

It could even be said that the trend brought about by Tianying has officially sounded the horn of a strategic counter-offensive, and begun to slowly reclaim aesthetic sovereignty.

However, in return, they also have to bear the trouble caused by the old man's death, as well as the backlash from his disciples and followers.

Although that group of people gathered for fame and fortune, they temporarily gained the buff of a desperate army.

Recently.

Liu Manting has said many times that she was terribly scammed.

no way.

Only the couple knew that Zhou Yang had deliberately set a trap to anger Guan to death.

What the world sees as the "truth" is that he casually responded to the other party's criticism during a collaboration discussion. Although it was later interpreted as a "mistake" by passersby, he quickly clarified the situation again.

It was exactly the reaction and action of a normal person.

and so.

Surprisingly, the person who bears the most blame in this incident is Liu Manting, who failed to stop Zhou Yang.

Why do you say it's temporary?

Because the one who initiated the provocation has already died of anger.

Since death is a serious matter, no one will say he was wrong in the short term.

Just thinking about these things...

Zhou Yang then quickly looked at Brother Wang and asked, "Doesn't a movie have to bring in investment? Like investors such as distributors and theater chains."

Although she knew Zhou Yang was changing the subject, Liu Manting could only glare at him fiercely because Liu Shishi and Wang Churan, who were unaware of the truth, were present.

After comforting his wife, Brother Wang replied irritably, "What do you think? You still want to release it for free after filming? That's not impossible, but in the future, Director Zhou, you'll have to raise the money yourself for whatever you want to film."

"But I don't want to be affected during the creative process."

"That depends on your own abilities, kid. Why are you starting to think about these things? Have you already finished writing the story on Xiao Ding's side?"

"Yes, it was just finished this afternoon. The story's direction is exactly what I expected. Xiao Ding will do some minor revisions and then release it, which should be within this week."

"You write the script first, and I'll handle the investment."

"Try to find investors who won't interfere with my creative process."

"Rest assured, we have the initiative. The new productivity represented by these three companies has shaken the industry quite a bit."

"That's good." Zhou Yang nodded, but then asked tentatively, "Could I slightly deconstruct the religion in the script, just a little bit?"

"You brat, do you have to go around firing shots everywhere?"

"Have you been cooped up for the past two years? And Brother Wang, you can use this script to bait your way into fishing."

"Oh? Tell me about it?"

Brother Wang immediately became interested.

Zhou Yang coughed lightly and then said, "I plan to interpret the concept of reincarnation using the people's historical perspective."

Liu Manting immediately spat out the soup in her mouth.

She first took a tissue from Wang Churan to wipe her mouth, and then said in an annoyed tone, "You went straight to the core concept right off the bat, and you call this just a little bit? Huh? Honey, why do you look like that?"

Can tell.

At this moment, the excitement on Brother Wang's face was more than obvious.

He asked in a trembling voice, "Tell me in detail quickly."

Zhou Yang revealed an expression of "I knew it," and then began to slowly recount his story.

Very simple.

He will ask several questions through Wan Jianyi's words in the script.

Who controls reincarnation?

Who defines the standards of good and evil?

Why should the masses of people use their own flesh and blood and spirit to support the existence of such a set of rules?

At the same time, it will also quote some of Zhu Xi's words to point out that all the Buddhist classics are exported and then re-imported, and that their original behavioral logic is the same as that of demonic cults.

Finally, Zhou Yang added with a smile, "Of course, the demonic sect in the story will definitely be the same one from 'Zhu Xian'. I will tell the audience not to make unfounded connections."

Upon hearing this, Brother Wang immediately stopped him, saying, "Stop right there. You can write the script and make the movie, but don't say anything suggestive."

"OK."

Looking at Zhou Yang's obedient appearance.

Liu Manting asked incredulously, "Honey, why are you joining in his nonsense?"

Brother Wang waved his hand, "The problem isn't too big, and this is indeed a good opportunity to bait the area and fish. Maybe we can even use this opportunity to eliminate some toxins in advance."

Liu Manting was speechless.

Then he quickly looked at Liu Shishi and Wang Churan and said, "What you just heard must be kept to yourself, don't tell anyone, okay?"

The two women immediately nodded in agreement, even though they didn't notice anything amiss in their conversation.

..........

three days later.

Xiao Ding posted "Wandering in the Wilderness" on Weibo.

People quickly realized from the two previous versions of the costume photos of Liu Shishi and Hu Ge that they were playing such big names as Su Ru and Wan Jianyi, characters with so little screen time.

It turns out they are the male and female leads of the movie.

The key point is that the two characters are not only not a couple, but the storyline also involves the male lead's unrequited love.

Hugo's fans quickly began to make fun of this.

Old Hu, did you only get this role because of your nickname? We always thought that the role of Wan Jianyi was definitely something that the scoundrel Zhou Yang wanted to keep for himself to show off.

Don't worry, we'll definitely buy a movie ticket just for the romance storyline.

The person involved was speechless.

He never expected this kind of romantic storyline, and not only did he fail to win the favor of the female lead, but he also had his arm cut off by the second female lead, Zhuque, because he was too promiscuous.

What a miserable man.

Cai Yinong quickly comforted her, "Don't focus on the romance. At least the character itself is outstanding. Look at how many people online say this casting is absolutely perfect. You'll definitely be able to officially enter the big screen with this role."

That's what they say.

But Hugo was still somewhat depressed.

Then he turned to the person who was secretly laughing to the side and asked, "You little schemer, did you already know this plot?"

Liu Shishi immediately retorted, "Old Hu, don't wrong an innocent person so easily. How could I know in advance how Xiao Ding would write it? Besides, these plots already exist in the original work."

"Yes, okay, I apologize. It's my fault for not thinking of that before."

Never thought.

These words made Liu Shishi laugh even more happily.

Because she knows.

Previously, the brat insisted on making Xiao Ding blur the romantic storyline so that he could show off. It would have been better if the character of Su Ru had not been mentioned at all in "Wilderness Journey".

However, due to a sudden, wicked whim, his sealed emotional connection was reopened, making his nickname "Old Hu" even more famous.

Liu Shishi made an oath.

She really hadn't thought of this before.
