Chapter 37 Sales
Ma Penghao is the screenwriter of the crew, and the crew is currently filming "Bad Master and Cute Disciple".
The entire crew came to Phoenix Film Studios to shoot.
But unlike actors, screenwriters have a particularly hard time. Either the male lead comes to him and says his character is not rich enough, or the female lead comes to him and asks him to add some highlights to the plot...
Some leading actors even have their own screenwriters under them.
So a good script was changed into a mess, and even the screenwriter couldn't help but marvel at it, and had no idea what it was.
Originally, today was going to be a group portrait scene, where the master was besieged by demons for the sake of the heroine. Because he was seriously injured, he fell into a coma after breaking through the siege, and the heroine went to seek help from the second male lead.
But unexpectedly, before the filming started, the male lead was unhappy, saying that he couldn't be injured by the evil cult all at once, and that even if he was injured, he shouldn't go to the second male lead.
The director had no principles at all and asked Ma Penghao to make changes on the spot, directly changing it to the master killing everyone and saving the beauty like a hero.
But unexpectedly, the heroine was not happy about it, saying that all the limelight would go to the hero and she would not get any spotlight at all.
Ma Penghao had no choice but to continue making changes, and it became the heroine blocking the knife for her master, vomiting blood beautifully, and the hero started to go crazy and won a great victory.
After many revisions, I finally managed to finish it.
The second male lead's scenes were directly deleted, but the others were finally satisfied, and Ma Penghao also breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still had to work overtime to revise it and connect the subsequent plot.
As a result, after he finished his work, it was already past lunchtime. He was so hungry that he ran out to take a look, but found that there were no lunch boxes left. No one had left any for him!
Fortunately, the weather is hot now, so the work starts later in the afternoon, so he plans to have lunch at a nearby store.
Ever since I became a screenwriter, my previously lush hair has become dry, and even my chest hair has lost most of its weight. I have to eat something good to replenish it.
He had almost finished his meals at several nearby restaurants, and there was really nothing new to try, so he deliberately walked a long way this time and happened to see Qiong Ye Restaurant.
The restaurant door was still open, but the owner looked like he was about to close it, so he rushed forward to stop him.
Bai Mengmeng saw someone rushing in and quickly said with a smile, "It's okay, don't worry, there's still food."
Ma Penghao took two breaths and nodded subconsciously: "That's good, I was just worried that it would be past dinner time and you would have run out of food here."
Bai Mengmeng stopped what she was doing, turned around and asked, "Actually, it's almost time. There's only one spicy hot pot left in the store, and there's also some mung bean soup. Do you want some?"
"So this isn't a restaurant where you order food. I thought you could order food." Ma Penghao was a little surprised. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Then give me one of each. I want both the spicy and mung bean soup."
Bai Mengmeng was a little embarrassed at the moment: "You can order dishes in the store, but it just happened that today, they don't sell anything else."
After a while, spicy mixed soup was served, as well as a bowl of mung bean soup.
Ma Penghao was not a person who chewed his food slowly, and since he was very hungry at the time, he just poured it down my throat.
Spicy mixed noodles are delicious, fresh and refreshing. The noodles paired with various ingredients make them taste especially delicious.
In a few minutes, he had almost finished eating.
"It smells really good. Boss, there's a reason you only sell spicy food. I've been eating here for a while now, and I didn't expect there's a restaurant with such delicious food that I haven't discovered yet."
Bai Mengmeng was surprised at this moment. He fell asleep so quickly, just like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. Is he sure he can taste it?
Ma Penghao took the mung bean soup again and poured it directly into his stomach without even chewing it, as if there was no obstruction in his throat.
“Great!”
He thought the mung bean soup was also very delicious, but the portion was a little small, so he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, is there no more mung bean soup?"
"There's quite a lot of mung bean soup. Can I get you another bowl?"
"Then have another bowl. I want all the rest too. Please pack it up for me." Ma Penghao said with an unsatisfied look.
…
After eating and drinking, he returned to the crew with excitement, carrying the packed mung bean soup. At this time, the director was already ready to start filming and was sitting behind the camera.
He quickly gave the director a bowl of mung bean soup and distributed the rest to the staff with whom he had a good relationship.
The director was a little unhappy at first, after all, the shooting was about to start and he still hadn't shown up. However, after seeing the mung bean soup, he calmed down a little. He knew to bring him something, which showed that he had good emotional intelligence.
The staff next to him didn't hesitate and started drinking.
“This tastes quite good.”
“Where did you buy this?”
Ma Penghao thought about it, but his memory was a little unclear: "It was in a restaurant nearby, I think it was called Qiong Ye, and it sold spicy mixed vegetables."
After delivering the mung bean soup to the person, I happened to have some left over.
There is no way the leading actors can drink this stuff, and they don’t have any scenes yet, so they are still resting.
However, the second male lead had to shoot a scene in the afternoon, so Xu Zijun was already waiting nearby.
Although the air conditioner was on in the room, he couldn't feel any cool air because he was wearing thick clothes. He could only hide in the corner, holding a small fan to cool himself down.
After hesitating for a moment, Ma Penghao decided to give the mung bean soup to Xu Zijun. He had a pretty good relationship with the second male lead.
Xu Zijun debuted through a talent show, and the company behind him was a completely makeshift team. Although his popularity has soared in the past two years, he has no background and no works, and is still at the bottom of the entertainment industry.
Therefore, he was the one who was bullied the most when the script was changed.
Once before, his fans came to visit the set, and I had already told the director that I wanted to take a half-day break.
But because the male lead changed the script at the last minute, he had to go to shoot location scenes, and the promised meeting was cancelled.
For example, today, I got up early to do my makeup and hair, but at noon, I found out that all my scenes had been deleted.
Although Ma Penghao is the screenwriter, he does not have much power. The director, investor, or leading actor can easily ask him to change the script.
And the one who got hurt every time was the second male lead, which made him always feel a little embarrassed when facing Xu Zijun.
"Xu Laoshi, this bowl of mung bean soup."
Ma Penghao handed the last bowl of mung bean soup to the other party.
Xu Zijun was daydreaming. When he saw this scene, his eyes lit up instantly, but he quickly shook his head.
"No, I want to lose weight."
Ma Penghao directly shoved the mung bean soup in his hand: "It's too hot today, it's okay to drink a bowl, and you look so thin. The mung bean soup is full of water, and there's not even a calorie label. My sister said it's 0 calories."
“…”
In fact, Xu Zijun had only eaten a little salad at noon, without even any sauce. His body had long been lacking in carbohydrates, and he felt weak.
In the morning, the female coordinator made a cup of brown sugar water because of her menstrual cramps. He smelled the sweet smell and his mouth was watering.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he secretly thanked them and then started drinking impatiently.
