Chapter 86

The ending of the script still ends with the protagonists revealing the truth and the criminal being judged.

This version of the script is obviously very different from the original novel. After all, the original novel is too short, so a large amount of original content must be added to support a movie that is at least 90 minutes long. However, it does capture a certain essence, and at the same time it also obviously adds its own understanding.

Su Ning read it carefully again and felt that the person who wrote this script should be quite young. Some of the writing was not as sophisticated as what Su Ning had seen before, and even seemed a bit immature. Of course, there were some parts that were not perfect, but the story and the twists and turns in it were indeed bright and interesting.

It takes talent to write stories and scripts.

If Su Ning had to choose, he would choose this one among the many script ideas.

If the script is expanded and enriched on this basis, coupled with He Fan's style and directing ability, it will be a good movie.

If we consider the actors, there are three main characters: the young male and female protagonists plus a middle-aged doctor character.

Although the script is from the male protagonist's perspective, the young woman's character who is both good and evil is very eye-catching and she has a lot of scenes, which is very suitable for Jixue who just played a pure villain role.

Su Ning gained a lot from reading these scripts this time, and finally saw the content he wanted.

But the strange thing is that this script is included in it.

Su Ning carefully flipped through the document again, but did not see the author's name at the end, nor did he see any contact information. It seemed as if it was not included on purpose.

This script came from Yan Kai, so the clues are not completely cut off.

Su Ning: "Mingzheng, this..."

He didn't need to say much, Shen Mingzheng knew what he meant at a glance.

He quickly scanned the script with his phone and couldn't understand why the script was not handed over by Yan Kai in person, but was instead tucked inside.

There is nothing shameful about this.

Since everyone was so familiar with each other, he just called and asked.

The conversation went very well at the beginning of the call. Su Ning felt that the two scripts sent by Yan Kai each had their own highlights. Even though they could not cooperate this time as it did not quite match He Fan's style, Shen's Pictures and Guangying Entertainment still had many projects to start in the future.

Especially since Su Ning has a lot of purchased novels and IPs, they are in need of capable screenwriters. Yan Kai also agreed very well and said that he was happy for his friend.

But when talking about the "unexpected" third script he received, he was stunned for a moment and said that he had no idea about it, and his reaction did not seem hypocritical.

Then, Shen Mingzheng gave him the script.

After he finished reading, there was a long silence, then he laughed dryly and said to Shen Mingzheng: "I will go and confirm it again. Please give me some time."

This seems like there's something fishy going on.

Shen Mingzheng didn't urge him. He and Su Ning looked at each other and decided to go back early tomorrow morning.

After all, it was already late today, and the two of them had some guesses in their minds. The person who could put such a note in the folder handed over by Yan Kai must be someone from Yan Kai's studio, so how could others have access to it?

There are indeed many scriptwriters in this studio, and Shen Mingzheng has known them all, but their experience is in writing comedy skits, and Yan Kai is their core. Without Yan Kai, these people's ability to write scripts independently is not enough, and the content they produce may need to be revised by Yan Kai. And if they are among them, there is no need to keep it to themselves, which is unlike them.

It was not until the next day when Su Ning took the script to He Fan and Ji Xue that he found out about this.

What Zhu Lan said before was right. We should strike while the iron is hot and at least stabilize He Fan's situation now.

He Fan had just settled down after the breakup when she saw five new books. She was surprised at first, then she read them carefully. Like Su Ning, she picked out the most special one.

“This is a good one,” she said. “All five have their own characteristics, but this one is my favorite.”

It really fits her style.

After He Fan finished speaking, he added: "Mr. Su is thoughtful. Every book here is better than the original one."

It is said that love can make people less intelligent, but after breaking up, it seems that her smart IQ has regained its high ground.

He Fan can still tell the difference between a good script and a bad one.

After she finished reading the book, she had some storyboards in her mind. Whether it was the design of the suspenseful plot or the discussion of some social issues, she wanted to shoot it in detail. Therefore, when Su Ning tried to ask her to change the script, it was no longer unreasonable.

"Of course the original script has to be changed. As long as we find this screenwriter and come up with the entire script, we can start filming," He Fan said, "I can start preparing now. Everything else is easy. I have experience. As for the actors and other things, except for the snow, I may still have to trouble you, Mr. Su."

She wondered if there were any actors willing to film their own dramas.

Su Ning said: "This is easy to handle."

Whether it is him or Shen Mingzheng, they can find many suitable actors, and they only care about acting skills, not fame and traffic.

But who exactly is this mysterious screenwriter? Su Ning still has no idea. But after reading it, Ji Xue seemed to remember something. She carefully flipped through the script and looked at the wording and sentence structure. She seemed to have thought of something and said to Su Ning: "I know who this person is, Mr. Su. It should be Yan Lu."

...Yan Lu?

Su Ning was stunned when he heard the name, and even He Fan was very surprised.

"Yan Lu? No way, but she is..."

Su Ning first thought of her small figure, and then he realized that Yan Lu was nineteen years old and already an adult.

And if you think about it carefully, the slightly immature parts of the script fit her situation, and it also explains why Yan Kai kept silent when he saw it.

No wonder.

He Fan was silent for a long time after hearing this. She looked at the script in her hand again and thought of the little Yan Lu she had met before. She was even more shocked.

Han Weirong used to boast about his talent, either openly or covertly, but he must have never seen what a truly gifted person looks like.

Jixue was about to tell Su Ning about Yan Lu adding an action to him, but he was interrupted. Now he finally continued what he was saying.

"…It is indeed her, she is very powerful," Ji Xue said, "So, President Su, do you want to talk to Yan Kai again?"

Yan Lu used to come to the crew here often, but she didn’t come today. It was probably for this reason.

If she has such a talent, she shouldn't be buried.

"Ming Zheng has already gone today," Su Ning said, "I'll tell him about this so he knows what's going on. Now I'll go too."

After all, she is someone else's daughter, and Yan Lu has a special personality, so it is understandable that Yan Kai has a strong desire to protect her. But if she doesn't even go to school, how can he let her join the more complicated entertainment industry?

He Fan listened silently, looked at the script in his hand, and said, "Boss Su, I'll go over too."

As for the identity of this "mysterious screenwriter", Shen Mingzheng, who went to "A Happy Event in the Imperial Hospital" today, had actually guessed it almost exactly.

He thought of how many people in the circle said in his previous life that Yan Kai and Yan Lu had a bad relationship as father and daughter, and that their daughter was rebellious and had even run away from home several times, causing chaos in the family. This was probably the reason.

People with such talents cannot be suppressed.

When Shen Mingzheng passed by, Yan Kai was sitting in a small office next to the Imperial Hospital, and Yan Lu was sitting aside, moving a small stool to the window, looking at the apricot trees that were specially planted in the yard.

There were still some apricot blossoms on the tree, floating on the windowsill. Yan Lu placed a few on the palm of her hand, carefully examining the pattern of the petals, looking very focused.

Yan Kai spoke to her, but she didn't answer.

She didn't look up until Shen Mingzheng came in. She saw the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was smiling, as if her plan had worked and she had finally waited for him.

Shen Mingzheng glanced at her and nodded to her as a greeting. He was not the kind of person who would beat around the bush. He had just read Su Ning's news, so he made the matter clear.

Yan Kai was very reluctant to mention this matter, but Shen Mingzheng also had his own reasons to convince him.

"Boss Yan, have you read this book? If you have, you should know Yan Lu's talent," he said. "It is said that parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Blindly protecting her may be a kind of harm to her."

This kind of "protection" has proven to be useless in the past life.

Yan Kai knew all these principles and had read the script, but he was still hesitant.

He had previously told Yan Lu how complicated the entertainment industry was and that many things were out of control once you got in. He hoped his daughter could understand his good intentions, but Yan Lu ignored him.

Rather than achieving success and fame, he hopes that his daughter will live a peaceful and happy life without suffering.

But Shen Mingzheng also said frankly that he could not see Yan Lu's "joy" around him. Only during this period of time in Yaoshan Film and Television City, when she ran to the crew next door and watched the set being set up at the Imperial Hospital, did he feel that her mood was good and she finally felt a little happy.

She prefers to be on the set rather than staying at home.

Even a child who is silent in words still has a broad mind.

Shen Mingzheng looked at his expression and added, "I know what you're worried about. If Yan Lu cooperates with us, Su Ning and I will do everything we can to protect her. Boss Yan and I have known each other for a long time, and you know that I will never go back on my word."

But Yan Kai still hesitated about this.

He glanced at Shen Mingzheng and knew his background, and said: "You and Su Ning have always been very dedicated, I'm afraid..."

Although these two were powerful, he was afraid that it was not enough and he could not protect Yan Lu until Su Ning came with He Fan.

He Fan was more anxious. She crossed the threshold before Su Ning and just happened to hear these words.

Following Su Ning along the way, she thought a lot, especially knowing that the screenwriter was such a young and amazing girl.

This is her film project. She should be responsible for this project like director Guo Baomu, and work on every aspect of the film, and then give a good work, so as to live up to her investors and the audience.

But in fact, from the two investors Zhu Lan to Su Ning, the actor Ji Xue, and even Yan Lu, everyone cares more about it than her.

In comparison, she felt ashamed.

It's not just a breakup, He Fan was also inspired by the efforts of others she witnessed. So this time, it's her turn as a director to do something about it.

He Fan believes that he is definitely not a useless person.

"Boss Yan, what if the He family is added?" She said after entering the door, "I am in the He family now, so I have some say anyway."

What the He family opposed most was her relationship with Han Weirong. After they broke up, the rest was easy to deal with, especially with Zhu Lan helping to mediate. He's father couldn't help himself and called her these past two days, and there were signs that the relationship was improving.

That was her home. As long as He Fan wanted to, she could go back no matter what. She just had to bow her head.

She is now willing to bow down to Yan Lu.

Soon, He Fan officially stepped into the door and said, "My family is still quite capable. President Shen and President Su mostly know people in the entertainment industry. The He family is in the jewelry business, and my family knows people in many foreign business families."

She glanced at Yan Lu who was sitting next to her and whispered, "You should also know that Yan Lu is not sick. She just has some psychological problems. I can find the best doctor for her. Moreover, she is on leave from school now. I can find the best and most suitable tutor to come and teach her at home."

"Maybe this is what she wanted."

What she promised was not something that money could buy. He Fan was afraid that he would not agree, so he added: "Boss Yan, I also hope that you can give me a chance. If you feel that it is not good or Yan Lu feels that there is something wrong, you can choose to withdraw at any time."

"But I really hope you can let her finish this story."

Yan Lu, who was sitting there looking at the apricot blossoms, looked up at her when she heard this, then looked at He Fan carefully, and then a faint, barely perceptible smile appeared on her face.

The development of the matter was somewhat beyond her expectations, but also roughly as she expected.

Screenwriters do not exist independently in this circle. No matter how good the script is, it still needs the director to direct it, the actors to perform it, and the contributions of countless behind-the-scenes staff to achieve the best presentation.

So Yan Lu had to find a reliable partner for herself.

The stage in Yan Kai's studio was too small before. There was no shortage of scriptwriters at that time, and Yan Lu was not very good at comedy.

Besides, Yan Lu is very aware of Yan Kai's desire to protect him, and he will not let herself enter this circle easily. Therefore, she also knows Shen Mingzheng and Su Ning's temperament very well. If Yan Kai is unwilling, these two will not take him away forcibly for the project. No matter what, they have to respect the wishes of the family. Doing business and discussing cooperation is not robbery.

But only a boss with a bottom line can be considered a good backer. Overall, Su Ning and Shen Mingzheng have the production foundation and can ensure that her script is best utilized.

She had witnessed all these with her own eyes on the set of "White Hands Covering the Sky", and her reputation was not undeserved.

If Yan Lu had left her contact information directly in the script and Su Ning and the others had talked to her privately, Yan Kai would have been even more opposed. There was no need to go against his father at this time, which would have made the situation even more difficult.

If Su Ning and the others were really interested in this script, they would naturally come to Yan Kai. Even if they didn't find the little note this time, Yan Lu is now familiar with the crew there and she goes there often, so there will always be a chance for her to pass it over again.

Let them talk about this matter, she doesn't need to explain anything. Now, she has finally got the result she wanted.
