Mr. Guan got the benefit and was not as obsessed with signing Li Mengjiao as before. Yuan Fenghui watched coldly and felt that Mr. Guan was going to break his promise - the important role originally promised to Li Mengjiao was probably going to disappear.
But it doesn’t matter, Yuan Fenghui was well prepared.
Yuan Fenghui doesn't have to fall out with Mr. Guan, as she has already obtained the script from her old friend, screenwriter Zhang.
Just by looking at the outline of the story, Yuan Fenghui knew that Lao Zhang's script was good and of high quality. Now that the details of the script have been filled in, Yuan Fenghui is very satisfied with the overall situation.
Lao Zhang set the length of the series at 15 episodes.
This number of episodes is too short for a serious drama in mainland China, but it is just right for an idol drama. Idol dramas are not nagging ethical dramas. Audiences may not buy it if it is dragged on too long. Moreover, the actors' salaries and filming costs are almost all determined by the number of episodes. The production cost of such a drama will not be too exaggerated, and Li Mengjiao can shoot it quickly, which does not delay her studies at all.
It is suitable for new actors like Li Mengjiao, and also for newly established film and television production companies like "Tianjiao Film and Television".
It was precisely because of screenwriter Zhang's script that Yuan Fenghui held an important trump card and was able to resist arguing with General Guan and not force him to fulfill his promise that day.
The play arranged by Mr. Guan may not be as good as Lao Zhang's script.
Yuan Fenghui was anxious to let Li Mengjiao take acting classes because she wanted to start filming after the New Year and shoot a few sample episodes before Li Mengjiao started school.
Screenwriter Zhang handed in the script, but Wen Ying still didn't respond. Yuan Fenghui thought the girl was just bragging and couldn't write it, so she silently accepted the defeat and didn't pursue her any further, giving Wen Ying enough face.
But Li Zhentao did not immediately nod to screenwriter Zhang's script. He was still waiting for Wen Ying.
It takes time to prepare for filming. If Mr. Li waits one more day, it is one more day wasted.
Yuan Fenghui tried to persuade Li Zhentao that Li Zhentao had as much experience in negotiation as Yuan Fenghui did, and that he could use Tai Chi to beat Yuan Fenghui into a state of temper.
As for the other two shareholders of Tianjiao Film and Television, they only invested money and did not care about anything at all - fortunately, they did not care about anything, otherwise they would have suffered a blow if Yuan Fenghui had come to them.
Wang Jun and Qin Xianming definitely support Wen Ying.
It would be fine if Wen Ying didn’t write well, but she clearly hasn’t finished writing yet, so we should at least give the little girl a chance to prove herself.
It's not surprising that screenwriter Zhang writes fast. Screenwriter Zhang is a mature veteran screenwriter, while Wen Ying is a newcomer.
It’s normal for newcomers to write slowly!
The boss and shareholders of Tianjiao Film and Television were so indulgent that Yuan Fenghui and screenwriter Zhang could only wait for Wen Ying to bring the script.
Finally, Wen Ying worked behind closed doors for a few days and said she would come to the company today. Yuan Fenghui was taking Li Mengjiao to promote the album in Rongcheng City. She asked her assistant to look after Li Mengjiao, and she went to Tianjiao Film and Television to wait for Wen Ying.
"How's her script?"
Yuan Fenghui asked screenwriter Zhang.
Screenwriter Zhang wasn't sure. "He called me a few times during the production to ask how we handled the plot conflicts, but I haven't seen the final result."
Screenwriter Zhang only knew that Wen Ying had written a script related to the entertainment industry, which seemed to have borrowed the setting of trainees in the Japanese and Korean entertainment industries. He asked Screenwriter Zhang how to deal with plot conflicts and also asked him some gossip and inside stories about the Taiwanese entertainment industry.
Screenwriter Zhang would definitely tell you what he could, but he didn't tell Wen Ying the inside story that he couldn't.
It’s not that screenwriter Zhang has to completely deny Wen Ying’s script. Such a script is actually quite novel, but Wen Ying is an outsider, and her understanding of the entertainment industry is probably limited to those gossip magazines. Relying on such limited knowledge reserves, how can Wen Ying create an attractive script?
He said his script was not suitable for Li Mengjiao and did not conform to mainland values... Screenwriter Zhang wanted to see how Wen Ying could write a story about the entertainment industry that reflected mainland values!
Wang Shuang was the first audience for Wen Ying's script. After reading the script, Wang Shuang followed Wen Ying to the company. When he saw Li Zhentao, Wang Shuang couldn't help but:
"Uncle Li, Mengjiao must play the role of Wen Ying. This script is perfect for her!"
You little brat, what kind of aesthetic sense do you have!
Screenwriter Zhang has good manners, so he didn't curse anyone.
Li Zhentao smiled and invited Yuan Fenghui and screenwriter Zhang to sit down. "Wang Shuang's description is too exaggerated. Please forgive me for laughing. Let's study carefully to see if this script is suitable for Meng Jiao."
After comforting Yuan Fenghui and screenwriter Zhang, Li Zhentao gestured to Wen Ying and Wang Shuang to sit down together and wait for them to finish reading the script.
It was said that the three of them would read the script together, but it was mainly Yuan Fenghui and screenwriter Zhang who read it. Professional matters should be left to professionals. Li Zhentao made a cup of tea for himself and waited patiently for the two to finish reading.
Screenwriter Zhang didn't take Wen Ying's script seriously at first. He was ready to find fault with Wen Ying. After all, he was paid 500,000 yuan, so he should give Wen Ying some good "guidance".
But gradually, screenwriter Zhang put away his contempt.
This script does not quite fit the mold of Taiwanese idol dramas. There is no real love line from beginning to end, and there is only a hint of a love line at the very end.
But this script, which does not conform to the routine of idol dramas, is full of idol atmosphere from beginning to end - this drama may be a hit!
