That is the result of other people's labor, Wen Ying will not steal it.
If Lin Wenxuan really agrees to let her take charge of the adaptation, Wen Ying will make subtle adjustments in line with her ideas while trying to restore the original work as much as possible.
…
Lin Wenxuan was on guard against Yuan Fenghui's tricks, so he asked his assistant to be on high alert and not allow Yuan Fenghui to have any contact with the high school girl and her family of three.
To Lin Wenxuan's surprise, Yuan Fenghui was surprisingly obedient this time. Nothing happened until the next day, when Lin Wenxuan's crew signed the contract with the girl.
Am I really overthinking it?
The signing process has been completed. No matter whether Yuan Fenghui is really honest or just pretending to be honest, Lin Wenxuan doesn't need to worry anymore!
After putting away the contract, Lin Wenxuan, in a good mood, became more approachable. He reminded his chosen heroine, "The film won't start shooting right away. We still need to revise the script and make other preliminary preparations. You can take advantage of this break to read the book you're adapting a few more times."
The girl was surprised: "Don't I need any acting training?"
She has no idea how to act and is just doing nothing but waiting for the film to start. Just thinking about it is scary enough!
Lin Wenxuan laughed, "What kind of acting skills do you want to train? Don't worry, I will teach you how to act when we start filming."
Lin Wenxuan didn't want girls to attend any acting training classes at all.
What he wants is the natural, unpretentious and fresh look of a girl!
If a girl is sent to an acting training class, she can indeed learn some acting skills, but it will also destroy the girl's freshness and rawness, which is not worth the loss for Lin Wenxuan.
Besides, how many acting teachers are better than him?
While acting teachers can produce well-behaved students, Lin Wenxuan prefers to use independent actors. Without so much dogma, without so much craftsmanship, like a blank slate, he can sculpt them entirely.
Lin Wenxuan gave the girl a salary that was neither high nor low.
Ordinary newcomers will not receive such high pay.
Compared with young and already famous actresses like Li Mengjiao, the salary offered by Lin Wenxuan is nothing - the salary that Lin Wenxuan can get for acting in a movie is not as much as what Li Mengjiao can earn for shooting a commercial.
But the income of an ordinary newcomer could never be compared with Li Mengjiao.
In the circle, this is a moderate salary, worthy of the heroine of Lin Wenxuan's new film. Outside the circle, this is a huge income for an ordinary family.
Funny enough, what finally convinced the girl's parents to let their daughter act wasn't the fame of director Lin Wenxuan, but the salary the girl could get for filming the movie! This amount of money was the combined salary of the girl's parents, which would take three years of saving without eating or drinking.
It’s no wonder that the girl’s parents finally wavered.
The entertainment industry is so profitable!
Compared to her parents' reality, the girl hadn't thought too much about it. After hearing Lin Wenxuan say that there was no need for acting training, the girl asked the question that had been suppressed for several hours: "Director Lin, I saw you and Xiaoyu walking together. Why is Xiaoyu here? Is the new film you are shooting related to Xiaoyu?"
Lin Wenxuan did a good job of keeping secrets. He was very low-key when he bought the adaptation rights of "Tangli Love" and the outside world didn't know that he was going to make the book into a movie.
During the audition for the female lead of the new film, the performance scenes were all specified by Lin Wenxuan, and no one knew what the subject of the new film was.
It’s no wonder the girls misunderstood. Wen Ying has indeed been very popular recently. In the girls’ eyes, it’s normal for a big director like Lin Wenxuan to be interested in Wen Ying’s book when he wants to adapt the novel into a movie - there’s nothing wrong with a big director and a best-selling author!
Lin Wenxuan laughed. "You think I'm going to adapt her novel? Didn't you see it when we signed the contract? The movie is called 'Tangli Love'... This book is quite famous, how could you not have heard of it?"
The girl was embarrassed and said, "I'm already a sophomore in high school. I don't have much time to read extracurricular books."
——Xiaoyu’s books are not extracurricular books. Xiaoyu is certified by parents as “excellent in both character and learning”. Novels written by writers with both good character and learning can help students relax.
Lin Wenxuan handed the girl a book called "Tangli Love".
"Then you'd better watch it now. When you're done, you can meet the screenwriter."
"Oh~"
The girl was still a little lost.
It turns out that it’s not going to be an adaptation of Xiaoyu’s book.
What's up with all these big directors? Why haven't they adapted Xiaoyu's work? The TV series she's written are all great, so her books wouldn't be terrible if they were adapted into movies either!
The girl is rather introverted and not the competitive type. Even though she was complaining in her heart, it did not stop her from reading "Tangli Love".
This book is a slow burn.
The setting is an era that the girls are unfamiliar with.
It’s different from Xiaoyu’s writing style.
The girl thought about this, but she slowly got absorbed in the story of "Tangli Love". After an unknown amount of time, the girl raised her head with tears on her face. She was the only one in the room. Her parents were taken by assistant Lin Wenxuan to enjoy the hotel's buffet, while Lin Wenxuan went to another room to handle business.
"How is this a tragedy..."
The girl had just wiped away her tears when there was a knock on the door. Lin Wenxuan's assistant walked in: "Director Lin asked me to ask if you have finished reading the book?"
"I finished watching it and it made me cry."
A smile flashed across the assistant's face. "Go ahead and cry. It shows you can relate to this story. Director Lin will be very happy to know that. Now that you've finished reading the book, come with me. I'll take you to meet the screenwriter."
