Chapter 809 Happy Cooperation!

"Yes, have you seen Shakespeare's Twelfth Night?" Shen Mian asked.

Ning Xi's eyes lit up and she nodded immediately, "I've seen it."

It was one of Shakespeare's classic comedies, and among Shakespeare's comedies, Ning Xi's favorite.

It is about a pair of twin brothers and sisters who were separated in a shipwreck and thought the other was dead.

The younger sister disguised herself as a man and became the servant of the duke's house in place of her brother, and fell in love with the duke, but the duke was deeply in love with another countess.

The younger sister ran errands for the duke to court the young lady, but the young lady fell in love with her sister who disguised herself as a man and rejected the duke.

The most important character in the whole play is the brave, enthusiastic and innocent sister. She disguises herself as a man to accompany her sweetheart, loves him silently, pursues his sweetheart for him, but also implies that he loves him very much. .

Another female character in the play, the Countess whom the male protagonist falls in love with, is smart and beautiful, kind-hearted, cherishes friendship, has single-mindedness, and is bold and persistent. She rejected the love of the noble duke, but took a fancy to the mistress, who was just a little servant, and finally bravely wooed her twin brother, whom she mistook for her sister.

In the end, the two heroines both fulfilled their wishes and obtained their own happiness.

A very positive and beautiful work.

"This script is based on Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night", but the background is changed to modern times, which is more in line with people's aesthetics and tastes. However, I don't want to make it into a simple urban idol drama, so , the requirements for actors will be very high." Shen Mian explained.

Ning Xi nodded to show her understanding. At the same time, a flame suddenly ignited in her heart.

Shen Mian's script is definitely much better than the one she's seen before!

In the previous script, she mostly went to play for the many exciting plots in the play, and she was still selfish after all, and this one is several levels higher in terms of plot and meaning.

What's more, it was made by Shen Mian after three years of grinding!

Shen Mian stared blankly at the twilight outside the window. He was only in his early thirties, but his expression was as vicissitudes of life as he had already grown old, as if all his enthusiasm had been exhausted...

He sneered and said, "When I first entered the industry, I was full of passion, for art, for dreams... But now... do you know how everyone makes movies now? It's not the director, not the screenwriter, who decides what to make. It's an investor! And a director? Not a creator, at best a puppet, just a part-time worker! An artist? That's bullshit!"

Listening to Shen Mian's words, Ning Xi didn't know what to say. The current state of the industry cannot be changed by one person or two.

In the end, even a talented director like Shen Mian still compromised, but Shen Mian was still unwilling in his heart after all!

"Ning Xi, there are some things I have to make clear to you in advance. I plan to shoot this film independently and will not accept any investment, so the remuneration offered will not be too high.

Moreover, including you, all new recruits are enabled, so the risk will be great, it is likely to be thrown, and even the word of mouth you have finally accumulated in "The World" before will be abolished. So, whether to pick it up or not, you have to think carefully. "Shen Mian said, there was a trace of tension in his eyes.

He finally met a Ning Xi, he was going to break the boat, but he had no right to ask others to accompany him crazy...
