Lou Ruicong disagreed, saying, "We're going to start promoting a CP (couple pairing) right now. I'll call you Xixi, and you'll call me Congcong."
Shi Xi: "I think you look like a scallion."
"How did you know my nickname is Congcong?" Lou Ruicong asked in surprise. "My fan name is Conghua (Onion Flower). I think using 'cong' to describe a person is quite nice. Straight figure, handsome and clean-cut!"
Shi Xi was speechless.
Why is there someone whose name contains the words "wise and intelligent" but whose brain is full of nothing but green onions?
"I don't think the first scene is necessary. We can cut it. What do you guys think?" Shi Xi abruptly changed the subject.
The screenwriter said, "The first scene is crucial in introducing the reason for the female lead's time travel, so it can't be cut."
Lou Ruicong said, "I don't think it's necessary to depict too many time-travel scenes. The first scene is 20 minutes long, which is almost half of the first episode's broadcast."
Screenwriter: "If we delete it, how will you explain the female lead's time travel?"
Lou Rui Cong quickly said, "I didn't say to delete it, I just said there's no need to take up too much time."
The first scene can be condensed to under three minutes; all the unnecessary parts can be removed, leaving only the useful scenes and dialogue.
Shi Xi nodded and said, "Let's discuss which ones we need to delete?"
Lou Ruicong: "I've already decided. I'll delete these conversations about getting up and eating, and then I'll just go out."
As he spoke, Lou Rui Cong walked directly to the director's position, projected the script onto the projector, and said while making marks, "Delete all this useless nonsense. Add a few more lines to keep the suspense alive."
"No, too much has been cut." The screenwriter said while reading, "Wow, you really cut out a lot of nonsense! Is this suspenseful setup meant to trigger the female lead's return? Not bad!"
Shi Xi said with satisfaction, "Let's leave the first scene like this and watch the second scene."
...
Half an hour later.
The director pushed open the door and came in.
Everyone in the conference room, each with a cup of milk tea, turned to look at the director.
The director scratched his head apologetically and said, "Sorry, there was traffic on the way, so I'm a little late. Let's start looking at the script."
Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the middle seat was already occupied.
Lou Rui Cong waved his hand, "We've finished revising the script and are getting ready to go to karaoke. Director, would you like to come with us?"
director:???
"How did you guys read the script while I wasn't here?" The director seemed a little confused. "No, you changed the script?"
"It's all revised." The screenwriter handed the messy script to the director and said, "The 28 episodes have been cut down to 24, but the plot has become much richer."
"How dare you change my script so easily when I wasn't even here?!" the director exclaimed angrily, flipping through the script. "Oh wow, this first scene is pretty good!"
The assistant director agreed, saying, "There are quite a few changes, but none of them are major. It's much more refined than the original script."
Lou Ruicong stood up. "Let's go sing karaoke then, it's on me!"
"No, no, no, I'll treat you." The director said while flipping through the script, "You've revised it very well, I should be the one treating you."
The screenwriter packed his things, preparing to go singing with everyone.
The director said to the screenwriter, "I'm going to sing karaoke with them. Print out the revised script again, and I'll look at it again tonight."
This drawing looks too much like a sketch.
screenwriter:???
You guys go sing karaoke? I'm rewriting the script all by myself?
"Well, actually, it was mainly Rui Cong who helped us with the revisions." The screenwriter decided to drag someone into it. "Rui Cong, can you stay and help me?"
