Cheng Yaoyao was relatively free in the afternoon.
Hong Baobao and Cheng Yaoyao were talking about the new script.
The script for "The Man Who Never Returns" has almost finished casting. In fact, the script was already quite well prepared in the early stages.
Originally, the female lead for "The Unreturned" was chosen to be another actress. However, unfortunately, just a few days ago, that actress was suddenly attacked online for some reason.
At that time, Hong Baobao's new drama premiered, and there were many videos about it online.
Hong Baobao suddenly became very popular.
Coincidentally, the director of "The Man Who Never Returns" also saw Hong Baobao's new drama. She watched some clips and thought that Hong Baobao's acting skills were quite good. In addition, her appearance and figure were also top-notch.
She specifically looked into Hong Baobao and learned that Hong Baobao has an account on Mini World, where she occasionally posts short videos and has quite a few followers.
So, after reading the script, the director of "The Man Who Never Returns" thought it was pretty good, so he gave the script to Cheng Yaoyao, thinking that he would cast Hong Baobao as the female lead in "The Man Who Never Returns".
This drama has been in preparation for a long time; now, all that's missing is the female lead.
Now that the female lead has been found, the director will naturally not wait any longer and plans to start filming next month.
The longer the filming of this drama is delayed, the worse it will be, whether it's the actors' schedules or the budget.
The director of "The Man Who Never Returns" is a woman named He Qingqing, who is a very talented female director.
This drama is adapted from a novel by her best friend.
This was a promise she made with her best friend.
During their university years, He Qingqing and her best friend had already made a plan: one of them would become a director, and the other would write novels.
Once both of them became famous, the one who became the director, He Qingqing, was going to adapt the other's novel into a TV series.
Now is the time for them to fulfill what they said back then.
The original novel also has this title, "The Man Who Never Returns," and the author's pen name is Ruguo.
She is a fairly well-known online novelist; she has written nine novels since she started writing.
Actually, I haven't been writing novels online for very long, only about three years.
If she was born to do this, her novels had exceptionally good sales figures from the very first one she wrote.
If she's very prolific, she'll basically publish a book every six months.
Of course, the reason she has nine books in three years is simply because she wrote short stories.
She had tried writing novels, but her novels were never as good as her short stories; she just couldn't get the hang of it.
So, in the end, you just give up.
Ruguo's real name is Qin Guo, but very few people on the internet know her real name.
If she keeps a low profile, she usually just focuses on writing books. In fact, she didn't even have a fan group during the three years she was writing books.
Moreover, of all of Ruguo's books, except for the first one, the other eight have already been signed for publication.
Despite having signed so many book contracts and publications, the company has yet to hold a single book signing event.
Moreover, due to her laziness, she rarely signs a few copies of each of her books when they are published.
Therefore, it can be said that the book "If" is also very difficult to obtain.
Some apps even sell signed copies of Ruguo's books at exorbitant prices.
You should know that a signed copy of his book can be sold for as much as 5,000 yuan.
Despite the high price, quite a few people still bought it.
After reading the script for "The Man Who Never Returns," Hong Baobao also found the original novel of "The Man Who Never Returns" online.
Because Hong Baobao knows that there will always be some differences between the original work and the film and television adaptation.
Anyway, she has plenty of time now, so she'll take advantage of the time before joining the film crew to read the script and the original work.
However, when Hong Baobao read the script and then the original novel, she also discovered that the changes in the script adaptation were not significant.
This is a historical romance novel, a tragedy, ending with one person injured and the other dead.
Even Hung Bo-bo herself has some questions that are hard to answer.
After reading the three scripts that Cheng Yaoyao gave her, she chose this one because she felt that it was more moving.
Since she chose this script herself, she will naturally perform it well.
Compared to modern roles, Hung Bo-bo actually prefers period dramas.
Coincidentally, "The Man Who Never Returns" is a period drama.
The show hasn't even started filming yet, but Hong Baobao is already looking forward to it.
She really liked the script and the original novel after reading them.
Therefore, she also hopes that this drama can start filming as soon as possible so that it can meet everyone soon.
Cheng Yaoyao told Hong Baobao that the drama would definitely be filmed by next month at the latest.
There are about ten days left until next month.
During these ten days or so, Hong Baobao did not intend to be idle.
Hong Baobao was thinking that these ten days or so would be a good time for her to finish filming the short videos that she was currently updating on her mini account.
She's the only one who has time to film short videos right now.
If she joins a film crew to film, it seems she won't have time to film.
Thinking this through, Hong Baobao shared her thoughts with Cheng Yaoyao.
After hearing what Hong Baobao said, Cheng Yaoyao felt that it was perfectly acceptable.
Therefore, Hong Baobao decided that starting tomorrow, she would speed up the process.
Fortunately, there isn't much content left in the short videos she updates these days.
She roughly calculated that it would take about five more days of filming to finish.
As for the video, after she finished filming, all that was left was post-production.
Later on, since it's not Hong Baobao anymore, it's okay if things go a little slower.
Anyway, once the video is properly processed in post-production, all I need to do is send it to her, and she can then post it on the mini app.
Aside from filming the videos, she really didn't have to worry about post-production.
The afternoon passed quickly as Cheng Yaoyao and Hong Baobao discussed matters.
