Chapter 85

But regardless of whether Su Ning inspired Zhu Lan or not, the situation was like this. And if you calculate carefully, the whole thing is indeed not the credit of Zhu Lan alone.

He Fan knew that Su Ning was looking for a new screenwriter. She was there when he was talking to Yan Kai.

He Fan saw with her own eyes that Mr. Su really wanted to do this project well, and Ji Xue brought her to the crew to experience a different atmosphere.

In contrast, Han Weirong has been thinking about money during this period and has not thought about how to make the movie better.

When did he become like this?

He Fan felt that the people around him were beginning to become very unfamiliar.

She had always tied Han Weirong to her own artistic life. He Fan might not have been completely unaware that there were problems with the script before, but denying Han Weirong would be tantamount to denying herself.

But she felt something new from other directors, actors, and even Su Ning, the person in charge, and to some extent, she gradually separated Han Weirong from herself.

Zhu Lan seized this opportunity.

After all, she had invested half of the money. On the one hand, she really wanted to get it back, but on the other hand, she was really angry - no one could stop her.

Not even love brain.

Now Han Weirong has finally escaped. When they broke up, Zhu Lan's people guided and demanded him to say a lot of harsh words, which cut off this path. He Fan had felt something was wrong during this period of time, but now he feels like the dust has settled.

But He Fan was not as devastated as she thought, nor did she lose her support, because she remembered that she had promised Guo Baomu the next day, so she still showed up.

I have something serious to do, and after I calm down and think about it, I feel that breaking up is not a big deal.

And she went to the crew today to watch the scene with the accumulation of snow, and felt the consequences of being obsessed with love. The entertainment industry is highly competitive, and it is not much different from the ancient court.

Zhu Lan felt that after this breakup, she had become more sober, and there was some hope for this project.

Talent and ability are not always with people. Zhu Lan has seen too many cases. These are consumables. If He Fan continues to be entangled with Han Weirong, her original ability and aura will be exhausted.

Zhu Lan was in a better mood after hearing this and learned from Shu Miao about He Fan's current situation in the crew. She said, "Boss Su, although we didn't work together successfully before, you have to admit that we had a pleasant cooperation this time, right?"

Su Ning: ...Is this actually considered cooperation?

But thinking about it carefully, although the process was a bit confusing, the ending was right, and he couldn't deny it.

Zhu Lan then asked him, "How is the search for the scriptwriter for Chief Su going? We'd better make a concerted effort now and not let those two start afresh."

Su Ning: "It has been expedited."

He will receive several today and will make a careful selection. It is not possible to give a complete movie script in such a short time, but it is enough to clearly write down the direction in which the script will be expanded and a few highlights.

Zhu Lan: "Okay, I'll wait for good news from President Su."

Su Ning went to Yaoshan with Shen Mingzheng this afternoon to look for Yan Kai. The scenes with the snow have been almost finished, and she is about to finish. After that, there are still some scenes with the protagonist and other supporting roles that have not been completed.

By this time, the set of "Happy Events in the Imperial Hospital" had been almost completed. The main actors were all from the same cast, and the director was Yan Kai himself. As the boss, it was not the first time for him to write, direct and even act in a drama. Shen Mingzheng was afraid that he would not be familiar with it since it was his first time shooting a serious TV series, so he found several experienced assistant directors to assist him.

The script of "The Imperial Medic's Wedding" has been finalized for the first ten episodes, and the remaining half is being written while filming. Everything is proceeding as planned.

Although Yan Kai is very busy, he is very concerned about Su Ning and has given two different script ideas.

And all the documents were given in paper form, because they had passed through Yan Kai's hands, and there were footnotes and some opinions written by him personally on them. This was his habit.

The scriptwriting studio that Shen Mingzheng found also gave him two versions, and they sent him electronic versions.

On the way to Yaoshan, Su Ning first looked at the two electronic versions. The revisions were not bad, at least much better than the previous ones.

Both of these writing studios follow the standard commercial film genre, and many of their works have been box office hits, so they added a lot of funny or light-hearted segments to the suspense, expanded the background of the mental hospital, and added many different kinds of mentally ill characters.

Su Ning watched it carefully, and found that some of the ugly characters responsible for comedy were indeed quite interesting. There are differences between the two scripts, but the difference is not very big, and the commercial film style is very obvious.

Then Su Ning arrived at Yaoshan, where he received the script from Yan Kai. After joining the crew, he had time to review both scripts until he arrived at the hotel in the evening.

The script category given by Yan Kai was not so easy, efficient and commercial. He was familiar with He Fan's directing style and knew that Su Ning wanted the script to be suspenseful so that it would be more in line with the director's style.

Therefore, these two books are of a different type from those of well-known studios. The screenwriters that Yan Kai has contacted are obviously smaller, and the ones he has expanded are all homicide cases in the original books.

The original text is too short, and the ending does not reveal whether the girl is the murderer or not. Whether she is a crazy killer or has other plans, all of these become blank suspense, and the story can be developed on this basis.

Su Ning read them carefully and found that these two books were indeed written with great care.

One is a crime-themed novel, while the other one's script direction and key scenes are written in a way that is very brain-burning. Su Ning did not understand it when he read it for the first time. Some of the reversals were very obscure and subtle, making it difficult to see.

He read it carefully twice, and also read some explanations and comments written by Yan Kai beside it, before he understood the whole story clearly.

There is indeed an atmosphere of suspense, but it's a bit too tortuous.

These four scripts are not bad, especially the two given by Yan Kai. He is not a famous screenwriter, but his style is a little bit niche. He still has the skills and is really attentive.

After watching the film, Su Ning had the idea of ​​cooperating with him. In addition to He Fan, Guangying Entertainment and Shen's Films have many projects to launch in the future.

But Shen Mingzheng was watching his expression and knew what Su Ning was thinking at a glance.

"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with all this?" he asked. "Is there something wrong?"

Su Ning neither nodded nor shook his head. He handed him the book in his hand and said, "Take a look."

With so many options given, if he doesn't choose any of them, Su Ning would feel that he, as the client, is a bit too picky.

He planned to choose the best one, modify it a little and show it to He Fan.

Although he thought so in his heart, Su Ning always felt that something was missing.

So he waited to see Shen Mingzheng's opinion.

But after reading it, Shen Mingzheng's opinion was similar to Su Ning's.

The first one Yan Kai gave was the best one. The suspense and other plots were well-set, and it was the most balanced one. Yan Kai also recommended this one. The opinions of several people were quite consistent on this point, so Shen Mingzheng said, "Revise it."

But we may have to speed up a bit, as the snow is almost gone and He Fan can't delay too long.

But when he reached out to hand the notebook to Su Ning, he happened to turn to the last page of the script and saw something in the gap in the middle of the folder.

The file folder used by Yan Kai was purchased by Yan Kai Studio. The cover was a little thick, and there were too many handwritten contents by Yan Kai in some places, with a lot of sticky notes sandwiched in the middle, so papers were sandwiched between papers. Shen Mingzheng saw something strange in it.

He pulled it out and saw a small QR code on it. Shen Mingzheng was surprised: "What is this? Is it an Easter egg in the script?"

Su Ning was also stunned for a moment. He took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code, and a new document came out.

He only took a glance and understood: "This is the script, a new script outline."

It's different from the previous ones.

The original title was "Eyes", and the previous script outlines did not change the name for the time being, but this script was changed, and its name is "No Disease".

Before I could think about why this script was included, Su Ning had already opened it and read it first.

If the first two categories focus on commercialization and expand the background of the mental hospital, and the other focuses on the suspenseful murder and expands the event of the case, then this script expands the characters of the original work and is not bound by the plot of the original work.

——The male protagonist is a righteous newcomer, and it is hard to tell whether the female protagonist is really mentally ill and may have blood on her hands. The plot is indeed suspenseful, and other characters in the mental hospital are also involved, but the style is very different.

The male protagonist, who had just graduated from college, entered a mental hospital for an interview. He brought a camera with him and planned to shoot a short documentary.

On the surface, the patients in this famous mental hospital in the city do have many behaviors that are different from ordinary people, including all kinds of strange madness and illness, but pure nonsense cannot attract attention, and the male protagonist feels that this is not enough.

After some exploration, he found a closed area in the hospital where there were obviously other patients. However, the mental hospital refused to let him in to explore. Some patients were even scared when they heard about that place. The scene and decoration were much better than other wards.

In order to shoot video footage, the male protagonist sneaked in, and then he met the female protagonist, a very beautiful and lovable girl who could easily make people fall in love with her at first sight.

This paragraph uses the content of the original work.

The heroine told him that she was not sick and that this area was used to detain those who were not sick but were forcibly sent in. It was a conspiracy of the hospital. She hoped that he could find the truth and rescue himself.

At this time, the male protagonist couldn't help but think of a classic question about mental hospitals: "If a person is a normal person, how can he prove that he is not sick in a mental hospital?"

However, the male protagonist who sneaked in was still discovered. A doctor in the hospital took him out and warned him to get out quickly, especially not to believe anything the patients living there said, as they were all lies to deceive him.

The reason why there is a special ward is that most of those patients have criminal cases. Because they are mentally ill, they are not criminally responsible, so they can only be detained here and guarded. They are advised not to think too much and stay as far away from here as possible.

However, what the doctor said was inconsistent with the actual situation. The male protagonist did find clues of transactions between the hospital and outsiders, and some patients in the special hospital area looked much more normal than those outside.

He felt that this matter was not that simple. In order to find out the truth and to distinguish whether these people detained in the special hospital were sick or not, and whether the murders they committed were true or false, or perhaps because he wanted to see the girl he liked, the male protagonist still took the risk and found an opportunity to meet the female protagonist who was imprisoned there, and also met other people in the special ward.

The story unfolds in this contradiction between being sick and not being sick. The highlight inserted in the synopsis is the confrontational dialogue between the hero and heroine and the doctor.

"A mentally ill person cannot prove that he is a normal person here, so what if a normal person pretends to be a mentally ill person?"

The male protagonist wondered: "But what good is there in pretending to be mentally ill?"

"There are so many benefits," the hostess laughed, "so many indeed."

Many suspense films and crime films are based on real social events, which resonate with the public, and at the same time, the real events are also plots that no one can imagine.

The original novel is too short, so it doesn't have this part, but this book does have it, as part of the additional plot.

A mentally ill person is not criminally responsible for injuring someone when he or she is ill. Some time ago, there was a news report about an innocent girl who was severely injured by a knife. The perpetrator refused to take responsibility because he had a mental illness certificate provided by the hospital. This incident has indeed sparked widespread discussion. Sympathy for the victim cannot compensate for her pain.

As a result, some mentally ill people want to pretend to be normal people, and some normal people want to pretend to be mentally ill in order to escape responsibility.

This is a hidden clue in the script, and it is also the real truth. Su Ning will know it after seeing it later.

The male protagonist later gradually discovered that some of the people in the special hospital had actually committed crimes. One of them seriously injured an innocent girl, causing her to go blind and have slashes on her body. However, he had a strong background and his family fabricated a history of mental illness and sent him here on the grounds of mental illness.

The environment in the special ward is much better than that in prison. They will release him after a few years when the storm has passed. The hospital accepted bribes privately to make this happen. This is not the first time such a thing has happened.

In the previous plot, the audience couldn't tell whether the heroine was sick or not. In fact, she got in by disguising herself with the help of a doctor based on a case from many years ago.

The doctor wanted to use the male protagonist, who had a strong sense of justice, to investigate the hospital to find evidence and make it public, so although it seemed like an obstruction, it actually slowly left contradictions and clues.

The heroine is the injured girl's younger sister. Because of an accident in their childhood, the two lived separately, but they have always been in contact. This sister is very important to her. In order to take revenge, she took the initiative to sneak into the hospital.

To some extent, all three people are just, in order to make the criminals pay the price, but their paths are slightly different. The male protagonist is absolutely just, the doctor is neutrally just, and the female protagonist is a completely chaotic just.

She is really not sick, but she is indeed a little crazy just like in the original book.

When the male protagonist's search for evidence was unexpectedly blocked, she planned a homosexual revenge.

There is a major section in the middle that is written for her.

"Let us mentally ill people solve this problem," she laughed. "I still have a way to make him pay the price."

She almost succeeds and is about to replicate the previous murder and dig out the victim's eyes with a pair of scissors.

But fortunately, the male protagonist pulled her back at the critical moment.
