Chapter 138: Script Completed
The days fly by.
In the blink of an eye, it has been the sixth day since Li Chungang came to Shanghai, and it is also the last day of September.
Stepping on the tip of September's tail, Li Chungang finally finished the script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern Ⅰ Exquisite Ancient City" that Hua Ce Film and Television had agreed to adapt yesterday. Feeling the hot and dry weather outside the hotel, he had a feeling of wanting to go back and continue. Live under air conditioning.
Shanghai is definitely a popular place for many people in China to choose to travel and play for a long time during the National Day. Countless tourists arrive every day. All kinds of hotels are full every day, and the bosses make a lot of money. Some hotels in popular areas are hard to find. Li Chungang is so envious.
Of course envy is envy, if he really wants to run a hotel, forget it.
Luo Wen was busy worrying about the publication of "The Lord of the Rings I: The Return of Shadows", but Li Chungang didn't bother too much. Anyway, the benefits that should be won should not be less, especially this kind of money that can make a lot of money Don't miss this great opportunity.
Random House, strictly speaking, it is impossible for Thompson to give up the opportunity to publish "The Lord of the Rings", especially when he learned that "The Lord of the Rings" has six volumes in total, he is even more unwilling to give up; it is also impossible for Li Chungang to give up this opportunity. An opportunity to cooperate with Random House does not mean that it will not work if you change to another publishing house, but the channel that Random House has as the world's number one publishing house is what they value.
The next thing is that the two sides are talking about each other and spitting at each other. These are not what Li Chungang wants to worry about. During this time, he has been coding and saving the rest of the content of "Lord of the Rings" in the hotel. Adapt the screenplay.
certainly......
"Master Chungang, where are you?"
"Shanghai, what's the matter?"
"..."
"Beep beep."
On the way Li Chungang went to the Ghost Blowing the Lantern crew, he received a very brief call from Liu E, the little princess of Huace. After he answered the question and told the other party that he was in Shanghai, the other party hung up decisively.
Li Chungang was a little baffled. He didn't understand the purpose of the other party asking for his location. As for the contact information, he had given it to the other party after the last dinner.
Women are really a group of "protruding" species.
in this regard,
Li Chungang will never admit that it is because of his straight male cancer. Otherwise, with his handsome face and his height, which is already quite good in the south, he is definitely the male god in the hearts of countless girls, and he will not be able to come here. So far, she is still a mother-fetal single solo player!
No matter how high a person's emotional intelligence is, it doesn't mean that he will be good at unsolvable problems such as love and love, doesn't it?
What's more, Li Chungang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his current life alone. If one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, how much freedom you want!

"Director Chen, this is the script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern Ⅰ Exquisite Ancient City", you should read it first."
"I won't waste this time. I'll take you directly to Director Ma and ask him to read the script in person."
"OK."
Huace Film and Television leased a three-story small western-style building for the ghost blowing lantern crew, which is used for daily life and some props. As for the office space, it is in their Shanghai branch. After the preparations for the crew were completed, because the script was not in place, they could only do some simple preparatory work.
Similar to finding a shooting location, making shooting props in advance and other trivial matters...
Chen Cheng is actually not very optimistic about Li Chungang's ability to complete the adaptation of the script within a week. Fortunately, their crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has not yet officially announced the filming. Huace Film and Television has never been able to do so because of Mr. Liu's support behind it. After urging them, I just waited first. I didn't expect that the other party would come to the door on the sixth day and say that the script had been completed.
In terms of general scripts, Chen Cheng asked himself if he had the experience to read them, but that’s fine, anyway, the production process of their entire drama is completely messed up now, generally speaking, the project is approved first after the script, and then the crew. Preparations, now they have moved the third and fourth steps to the front.
Now that it has been determined that Director Ma will be the director, Chen Cheng, following the principle of leaving professional matters to professional people, took Li Chungang all the way to find Director Ma who was drinking tea and watching the news.
Yes, read and said right.
Director Ma was idly drinking tea while watching today's latest news.
It's not that he doesn't want to move, but that it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. She doesn't even have a script. What can you ask a director to do? It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, but you have to start that first thing first, and you haven’t even started that first, so it’s hard to say a chicken!
"Ahem ~ Director Ma."
"Let me introduce to you, this is Li Chungang, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and he also completed the adaptation of the script."
"Oh? It's a pleasure to meet you!"
After all, everyone is not in the same circle. It is normal for Director Ma not to know Li Chungang, but he is still surprised by Li Chungang's youth. Not to mention that he has already written such an excellent work at such a young age. Huace Film and Television has adapted it into a film and television drama.
Be worthy of a sentence... young and promising!
"This is the script of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern Ⅰ Exquisite Ancient City". Please, Director Ma, please show it to me. If there are any problems, we can discuss and modify them on the spot. You are the most professional in this regard."
"Come on, let me see."
Director Ma hastily snatched the script from Chen Cheng's hand. The script didn't need so many descriptions, and it didn't have long and cumbersome content. It was more about cutting the content into scenes and shots one by one.
Therefore, writing a script is very important to the screenwriter's understanding of a book and the ability to control the storyboard.
The script is not long, and the director Ma is very professional.
So in just ten minutes, Director Ma had already read the entire script in his hand, and with a slight jaw, he put the script in his hand on the table and at the same time motioned for Li Chungang and Chen Cheng to sit down.
"If you hadn't told me, Director Chen, it would be absolutely hard to believe that such a script was written by someone who was writing a script for the first time! Overall, the scripts are quite good, and the slight flaws are just the novice's inadvertently. Minor issues that arise, but innocuous."
It wasn't a big problem at all. After Director Ma pointed out the problem and proposed amendments, Li Chungang made a quick revision on the spot to remove all these innocuous minor problems.
In fact, after Director Ma pointed out several problems, Li Chungang already realized that he had made a common sense mistake, that is, he always wanted to make every scene as perfect as possible, but he forgot that this was too much in actual shooting. Too much "overflow" content is unrealistic.
This is called "blank space" in painting techniques, and it is applied to shooting to leave a little space for the audience to imagine!
