Huang Wenchuan and Li Changle chatted for almost three hours, from morning to afternoon. The more they talked, the more excited Huang Wenchuan became, and he secretly thought that his trip was not in vain.
There is still room for improvement in the script, and the previously filmed footage does not need to be discarded, just some shots need to be added later.
Li Changle emphasized to Huang Wenchuan the most impressive scene in the myth, where Princess Yu Shu danced for Meng Yi on the cliff. This was a must-have.
Although Huang Wenchuan's film is different from The Myth, it is not difficult to insert this shot into it.
Huang Wenchuan agreed with Li Changle's proposal. After listening to Li Changle's description, he already had a picture in his mind. Such a shot would definitely become a classic shot. This is the kind of classic shot he has been pursuing.
"Changle, you have great potential to be a screenwriter. The screenwriter of my movie must have your signature, otherwise I will feel guilty. Thank you so much for giving me such good advice." Huang Wenchuan said excitedly.
Li Changle didn't care whether he had a screenwriter's credit or not, but he was quite interested in the profession of screenwriting. Just as he was about to doze off, someone brought him a pillow.
"Are you interested in being a screenwriter? I think you're very suitable to be one, and you write novels. Many screenwriters are novelists who have switched careers. Changle, you might want to consider it.
I heard your novels are quite popular. If there's a need for a film or TV adaptation of your novels in the future, I can introduce you to an old classmate of mine who's also a director. He makes TV series. His achievements in the TV director world are almost on par with mine in the film industry."
Li Changle was very tempted by Huang Wenchuan's proposal and said frankly, "Thank you very much, Director Huang. To be honest, many people have approached me recently to discuss the film and television rights for the novel, but I have been hesitant to agree, for fear of ruining the novel."
Huang Wenchuan laughed heartily. "Then you could consider becoming a screenwriter yourself. I think you have the talent. As for directing, I can introduce you to someone."
Huang Wenchuan and Li Changle chatted for a long time and almost knew how to modify the direction of the script. They were in a very good mood.
Then he thought about the theme song and said, "Oh, by the way, I think the theme song you wrote is also very good, but it looks like it should be a duet between a man and a woman."
Wang Siyi had been sitting aside watching the two of them chatting, occasionally saying a word or two, but most of the time just listening to them. When she heard Huang Wenchuan talking about the theme song, she immediately spoke directly.
“I’ll sing this song with him!”
Huang Wenchuan knew from the beginning that this song would definitely be sung by Wang Siyi, but he was troubled by the other male singer. This song was written by Li Changle, and he couldn't really let his girlfriend sing a passionate duet with another boy.
Huang Wenchuan's eyes lit up immediately after hearing Wang Siyi's words. Since Li Changle was so good at writing songs, her singing should not be too bad either. "That's a good idea!"
Li Changle smiled bitterly. She didn't really want to sing this song, but she didn't think too much about it when she wrote it. Fortunately, the performance of this song by Mythology was not too difficult, so she should be able to handle it.
Li Changle remembered that both Jackie Chan and Hu Ge had sung this song. Although neither of them was a real singer, she had at least formed a band and taught herself music theory. With Wang Siyi teaching her singing, it should be no problem for her to sing a song that was not too difficult.
Huang Wenchuan arrived and left quickly, flying back to Chang'an that afternoon to continue filming and adjust the direction of the script. In his words, his mind was full of inspiration and he needed to write it down quickly.
Before leaving, Huang Wenchuan kept thanking Li Changle for helping him not only with the theme song, but also for helping him improve the script story, which he had always felt was lacking something.
Huang Wenchuan knew that he owed Li Changle a big favor, so he returned the favor and told Li Changle that he could ask him any questions he didn't understand about the screenwriting, and he could also ask him for recommendations if any of his works needed to be adapted into TV series.
Li Changle also had a deeper favorable impression of the great director Huang Wenchuan. This director is really easy to get along with.
He is decisive and resolute in his work, and his thinking is unique. He did not completely refer to his own story, but combined the two stories.
After listening to Huang Wenchuan's summary of the story he was going to tell, Li Changle couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. This script was definitely better than the original story and the myths he had read. If it was filmed well, it would definitely be a box office hit.
"I really hope to see this movie soon." After seeing Huang Wenchuan off, Wang Siyi and Li Changle walked hand in hand on the small path in the community. Wang Siyi sighed, saying that she had witnessed the entire creation of the script.
Li Changle glanced at Wang Siyi and said with a smile, "Director Huang said the movie should be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so let's go and watch it on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
"Then you must remember that we sang the theme song of this movie. It must be a great feeling to watch the movie you co-wrote and listen to us singing in the cinema!" Wang Siyi said expectantly.
Wang Siyi then thought of something and wrinkled his nose and said, "Alright, let's go back and continue practicing. You must sing this song well, otherwise everyone will say that your singing is bad, and I will be so embarrassed."
Li Changle had no choice but to let Wang Siyi control her without any desire to live. She didn't know if she really had a talent for singing. When Wang Siyi was teaching her to open her voice, she kept saying that her voice sounded good and that she was born with this talent.
Li Changle glanced at Wang Siyi, not knowing whether she was comforting herself or not. She thought to herself, if my voice was a gift from God, then you were being chased and fed by God.
Days passed as he practiced singing. After more than half a month of training, Li Changle finally felt that his voice had changed a little, and he could sing quite well. Wang Siyi was also happy.
"Not bad, the singing is quite interesting. If we can better grasp the emotions, we can go straight to recording the song 'Mythology'!" Wang Siyi said happily.
During this period, apart from occasionally running around for a few announcements that she couldn't turn down, Wang Siyi spent the rest of her time with Li Changle, almost moving in with her.
Of course, Wang Siyi still didn't dare to move in, for fear that one day when she was doing breathing exercises with Li Changle, she would not be able to control herself and fall into the bed.
So he decided to live with Chen Baozhu and the others. Chen Baozhu only discovered by chance that Li Changle actually lived less than 500 meters away from them.
Thinking of the time when Wang Siyi told her seriously that he was going out to discuss composition with Li Changle, he looked like Xianglin Sao, and almost muttered to himself, "I'm so stupid..."
