Actor Wang Yueheng transmigrates as a street singer participating in a talent show. His on-the-spot creation of "The Lone Brave" ignites the entire internet, helping him rise from a grassro...
"You're too kind. I look forward to seeing you on a variety show someday."
"Then I won't bother you any longer. I'll have Director Chen Jia contact you directly later!"
After saying all that, Zheng Chao hung up the phone with a satisfied smile.
As expected.
Shortly after the actor hung up the phone, Mo Zixue received a call from director Chen Jia.
The other party formally extended an invitation over the phone to Wang Yueheng to help compose and sing the theme song.
The script, along with the creative contract, was sent to my email address.
Looking at the movie script for "Ghost Skin" on the tablet, Wang Yueheng's brows gradually furrowed.
This film is also adapted from a world-famous ancient ghost story.
It tells the story of a female demon who was deceived in love, and who kept changing into different human skins to wreak havoc on the human world before finally being subdued by demon hunters.
The core of the story revolves around the emotional entanglements between men and women.
The content is not a traditional horror movie.
But the name "Ghost Skin" subconsciously gives people a creepy feeling.
Some timid viewers might simply give up on going to the cinema just because of the title, which sounds like a horror movie.
Wang Yueheng also shared his thoughts with director Chen Jia via WeChat.
Suggest that the other party consider changing to a more euphemistic movie title.
Don't give yourself such a scary name.
“You’re right, we have the same concerns, but we haven’t been able to come up with a more suitable title.”
"I had considered naming it 'Skin Changing' or 'Human Skin' before, but those titles felt even scarier."
"After all, this drama relies on the popularity of ancient Chinese supernatural stories. If the changes are too exaggerated, the core of the story will be lost."
"I wonder if Mr. Wang Yueheng has any insightful opinions?"
Director Chen Jia quickly replied after receiving Wang Yueheng's message.
"How about renaming it 'Painted Skin'?"
"In the film, the female demon uses her magic to 'paint' human skin onto herself and those around her, but all she can do is 'paint,' and she cannot change the true feelings of people in the world..."
After a moment's thought, Wang Yueheng told the other party his idea.
After this message was sent.
There was a full fifteen minutes of silence on the other end of the phone.
Director Chen Jia, who was sitting at home yawning constantly, hadn't originally expected to come up with any new ideas from Wang Yueheng.
I'm planning to find an opportunity to leave a "goodnight" message and then wait for the other party to help me create the theme song.
However, when I saw the words "painted skin".
The director, who was over sixty years old, stood there stunned.
My tired brain felt like it had been suddenly electrified, instantly becoming alert.
"Painted Skin... Painted Skin..."
"You can paint human skin, but you can't paint the true heart of people in the world..."
"This character for 'painting' is absolutely brilliant!"
After realizing what was happening, Director Chen Jia excitedly kept repeating the phrase to himself.
With just the word "painting," the enchanting allure and the ferocious evil of the demoness are vividly portrayed.
He was immediately impressed and applauded.
How come I didn't come up with such a brilliant movie title!
