A movie script typically has around 40,000 words.
Before the emergence of online writers, writing a 40,000-word script in three days was simply a fantasy.
Liang Liang didn't expect Han Qiang to finish the movie script in three days. He was just saying it casually, and it would be fine if Han Qiang could finish it in five or six days.
But Han Qiang really managed to do it in three days.
The script is finished.
Moreover, the handwriting is neat and tidy.
Based on this alone, Liang Liang began to look at him with new respect.
With that kind of hand speed, it's a shame she won't write web novels in the future.
This year is 1996. Computers have already begun to become common in society. In another two or three years, online novels will appear. Of course, they won't be paid then. They won't be paid until 2003. There are still seven years to go.
At that time, Han Qiang was 30 years old, which was the prime of a man's life, and it was just right for him to write online novels.
However, by then she might have already become a famous screenwriter, so writing novels would be unlikely.
Liang Liang glanced sideways at Han Qiang's dark circles.
I didn't realize this guy was such a ruthless person.
How much sleep have you had these past few days?
"Fifteen hours," Han Qiang answered honestly.
Three days and three nights, seventy-two hours. Subtract fifteen hours, then subtract six hours for eating and using the restroom. That leaves fifty hours, which this guy probably spent writing scripts.
"There's a bed in the office, go and rest for a while, I'll look at the manuscript."
This guy must be sleep-deprived. Let him sleep for a while, an hour or two should be fine.
Han Qiang didn't stand on ceremony, got up and went into the inner room, and soon began snoring.
Liang Liang spent almost two hours reading the script.
From a literary perspective, the language is fluent and the vocabulary is concise.
Your language skills are great, so why haven't you made a name for yourself?
After reading the script, Liang Liang noticed a problem: Han Qiang had no problem using language, but there were flaws in the overall structure and plot development of the story.
Even though Liang Liang had told the story clearly, he still couldn't explain it clearly.
"For a writer, the most basic foundation of your work is to make a story understandable to the reader. Whether you use flowery language and gorgeous words or use simple language like plain description, the goal is the same: to make the reader understand what you are saying."
Han Qiang slept for two hours and regained some of his energy. He listened quietly as Liang Liang pointed out faults.
"I've already told the story clearly in this script, but you haven't written it clearly, especially the joke in this part."
Liang Liang talked with Han Qiang for another hour, and after demonstrating the strengths of the script, she also pointed out its weaknesses.
All that effort paid off; Han Qiang seemed to have a sudden epiphany this time, and he took the script back to revise it.
The script is almost finished. Han Qiang will probably only need to revise it one more time. Now it's time to find a director and actors.
Han Chui was summoned by Liang Liang.
Liang Liang explained what kind of actors and directors they wanted to find.
"You're going to make a movie? Really?"
"Why won't you allow it?"
"It's not that we don't want to, it's just that we've never made a movie before, and we don't even have a professional. How can this be done?"
"Why not? Haven't we filmed a lot of music videos?"
I'm exhausted. MTV and movies are two different things, okay?
They've never even made a single-episode TV series, and they're already jumping straight to the big screen?
Isn't this like trying to run before you can walk?
“We don’t have any professional people, but we can hire them. That’s not a big deal. The key is that the actors I want are hard to find. This movie is mainly about the male lead. Originally, I wanted to find Ge You, but unfortunately he was unavailable.”
"You're just using a narrow door curtain, aren't you? Even without Butcher Zhang, are we going to eat pigs with hair on? Without Ge You..."
"Don't move!" Liang Liang suddenly blurted out.
Han Chui was startled: "What are you doing?"
Liang Liang stood up and circled around Han Chui, her eyes sparkling.
"I just realized you look so much like Ge You! Could you two be related?"
"What do you mean? That sounds like an insult."
"Putting aside whether you insulted anyone or not, I suddenly feel that you could replace Ge You in the lead role."
Han Chui was dumbfounded: "You mean you want me to be the main character?"
"What? You're still not happy? Only your image can replace Ge You. I'm going to make you look exactly like Ge You. You'll be the lead actor in this movie."
"Don't look at me! I look just like Ge You? Does that mean I have to shave my head too?"
"Absolutely!"
"I won't do it!"
Han Chui refused outright. If he shaved his head bald, would he still be able to find a wife?
He's almost twenty-five; it's time for him to settle down and get married.
If he goes out bald in a movie, what girl would be interested in him?
"Lead role! There's a paycheck!"
"I'm not doing it! Go find someone else if you want!"
"Really not going to do it?"
"Absolutely not!" Han Chui's attitude was resolute, as if he were facing death.
"Fine! You don't want to do it? Then you bring Ge You here. I don't care what methods you use—deceive, trick, kidnap, clone, whatever—just get him to me. If you can't, then charge at him! Alright! If this matter isn't resolved, then don't bother coming to see me!"
Han Chui immediately looked worried.
Han Chui looked worried, while Liang Liang frowned.
Computers have become widespread, and even game bars are starting to appear in Bay City.
He certainly didn't have the idea of opening a game bar, but Haiyun Company should... must have computer experts, and they need to have them now.
"Find me some more computer experts, just those who can operate computers for now. No need for now, just buy me ten computers first."
Teaching someone to use a computer is not difficult; he can teach others himself.
However, advanced computer skills require professionals.
In the future, whether it's music or movies, computers will be an indispensable component, so it's better to let our employees get used to them as soon as possible.
Finding Ge You was a difficult task for Han Chui, but buying a computer was much easier.
The day after Liang Liang gave the instructions, ten computers were installed in a room at Haiyun Music School.
Damn it, a crappy 486 computer costs fourteen or fifteen thousand yuan, where can you even complain about that?
The computers were placed in a special room for the employees of Haiyun Audio-Visual Company to use for learning.
After buying the computer, Han Chui went to the capital to see if he could invite Ge You over. If he really couldn't...
Han Chui had already imagined what he would look like with a shaved head in front of the mirror several times.
Moreover, he also had a still of a certain actor in hand.
To be honest, judging from the reflection in the mirror, there are indeed many similarities between the person and the actor in the picture.
If we really can't get him to come, then I'll really have to bite the bullet and do it myself.
It seems like there's no downside to shaving your head bald and looking shiny. The hoodie movie suddenly became a hit, so does that make you a movie star?
