Director Ding chose barbecue for supper, which was very down-to-earth.

Large pots of barbecue skewers were placed on stainless steel plates and served. They were fresh, spicy, fragrant and hot. The hot air rushed towards him, mixed with a faint smell of smoke. It was definitely the most lively and moving smell in the world.

Jian Jing opened a can of cold beer, chewed the skewers while watching the stars eating on the spot.

The skewers here are small skewers, each skewer of meat is only the size of a toothpick, and there are only a few corn kernels on a corn. There is no difference between eating three bites and not eating at all.

But Jiang Baiyan didn't seem disappointed at all.

He pulled off a piece of meat with chopsticks, rinsed it in a small bowl of mineral water, washed off all the seasonings, and devoutly put it into his mouth, chewing it several times before swallowing it.

"It's delicious." He sighed with satisfaction.

After eating a piece of chicken, he picked and chose, and finally chose a bunch of potatoes and a bunch of tofu, all of which were rinsed in water before eating in small bites.

Then he didn't eat a single bite.

Jian Jing was amazed: "Your self-control is terrible."

"I didn't want to go back on my word in front of the teacher, so I just held back." Jiang Baiyan covered his face and smiled embarrassedly, "Of course, I really can't eat anymore. I have to go back to the crew to film tomorrow. If I get acne because of eating barbecue, the director will kill me."

Jian Jing was silent.

Stars shine in front of people, but they naturally have to pay a price behind the scenes.

"Let's chat," Jiang Baiyan pleaded, "Let me forget what I can't eat."

There were too many strangers, and Jian Jing was a little restrained. This suggestion hit the mark: "Don't call me teacher anymore, it's weird."

"Not weird," Jiang Baiyan waved his hand and changed the subject before she could protest, "Speaking of which, when we were filming Hide and Seek, there was a funny thing. Originally, there was a scene that was supposed to be filmed in a foggy day. We finally waited for the fog to rise, but the fog was too thick and we couldn't see anything. We couldn't film again. It was so miserable..."

No author can refuse such a topic. The remake of a film or TV series may not be perfect, and there may even be some deviations from the original. However, images have advantages that words cannot achieve - presenting the world created in the mind to the world in a more intuitive and concrete way.

"At the beginning, Director Ding was very dissatisfied with my performance. He felt that I didn't show that kind of... confusion and coldness. I didn't understand what he meant at all..." Jiang Baiyan pursed his face, feeling a little embarrassed.

Jian Jing's thoughts drifted away because of his words.

When writing "Hide and Seek Kids", "Jian Jing" also felt confused for a while. She just wrote "White Cat Detective" based on a momentary inspiration, without any skills or rules. When the heroine appeared in her mind, the story was born.

In other words, there was a protagonist first, and then the story was written around the protagonist.

Hide and Seek was the opposite. She first had the inspiration of interweaving time and space, and then she started to shape the character. Therefore, she encountered many problems in the portrayal of the male protagonist. She wrote and revised it, and it was either too thin or too out of control.

If only it was "Jian Jing" who was here today, she and Jiang Baiyan would have a lot of common topics to talk about - once this thought came up, it was inevitable to return to the crux of the issue that had been avoided before.

How to transition between Jian Jing and "Jian Jing"?

Almost at the same time, Jiang Baiyan realized that the person next to him was distracted.

He remained calm and never stopped talking, just describing the same thing over and over again to ensure that the other party could seamlessly understand the content of the topic when he came back to his senses.

About half a minute later, he saw a flash of light in Jian Jing's eyes again.

"...That's it, am I stupid?" He stopped the topic in time.

Sure enough, she knew exactly what he was saying: "You are very attentive, and I appreciate you very much."

Just this one sentence was enough to satisfy Jiang Baiyan.

"I like the teacher's work very much, you..." He paused for a moment and organized his words, "The stories you wrote are very special."

Jian Jing showed a slightly puzzled expression.

"Teacher, just treat me as nonsense." Jiang Baiyan was embarrassed, but he didn't mean to continue.

Although Jian Jing was puzzled, they had only known each other for an hour, so it was naturally difficult to ask.

The lights were warm, the heat gradually dissipated, the cups and plates were in a mess, and bamboo sticks were everywhere. This midnight snack came to an end.

Jiang Baiyan had to catch the early morning flight back to the crew, so he left early after saying goodbye to her.

The streets were empty at night, and the car sped all the way and arrived at the airport half an hour ahead of schedule. Sister Chen had already handled the formalities for him, and he could get on the plane after passing the security check.

There were not many people on the red-eye flight. After taking photos and signing autographs with the stewardess, Jiang Baiyan was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"You are too close to Teacher Jian." Sister Chen sat next to him and lowered her voice. "If the media took photos of you at the wrong angle, it would be very troublesome for you - the crew would not want you to cause such a scandal."

Jiang Baiyan put on a blindfold and said lazily, "Director Ding will be angry if that happens."

"Then you shouldn't do that." Sister Chen gently pointed out the crux of the problem, "You never did that before."

She has been in the industry for seven years and has been with Jiang Baiyan for three years. As his executive agent, Sister Chen knows her artists much better than the company's big agents.

Jiang Baiyan made his debut with Director Ding's "Children Playing Hide and Seek", and his starting point was extremely high. However, due to various reasons, the film was not released immediately after filming, and was delayed for three years.

This hindered the company's training plan for him, but he never expressed dissatisfaction, attended classes diligently, auditioned hard, and won many good roles.

Now he is considered to be popular, but he has never made any mistakes. Self-disciplined and emotionally intelligent, Sister Chen is absolutely sure that he is the most dream artist of every agent.

But his passion for simplicity today has exceeded the necessary social scope.

"Maybe you can tell me why you do this." Sister Chen patiently persuaded, "I'll be mentally prepared so that I can help you solve the problem."

"There's no reason, I'm a fan of Teacher Jing Jing." Jiang Baiyan shrugged and said innocently, "Fans will be excited when they see their idols."

Sister Chen was skeptical: "Really?"

Jiang Baiyan spread his hands with a look of disbelief on his face.

The plane took off.

Jian Jing didn't know Jiang Baiyan's story.

After returning home, she was tired, but she couldn't sleep for a long time. The subsequent writing plan that Director Huang asked about was always lingering in her mind, making her hesitant and confused.

For a moment, she looked at the mirror in the bathroom, expecting to see a different emotion on this familiar face.

But no.

The other Jian Jing did not appear. Perhaps her soul had disappeared when she chose to die, or perhaps the two souls had completely merged, like the meeting of one drop of water with another.

To be honest, Jian Jing did not want to separate herself from "her".

If she were reborn in someone else, then you are you and I am me, very clear, and there would be no confusion at all. But when she was reborn in another life, everything was different.

How should she face two different "me"s?

She walked to the study and opened the blank document created on the computer.

The devil is a monster born between heaven and earth. It has no sense of good and evil, and feeds on human filth. He kills people just like people kill chickens and ducks. He doesn't think he is committing a crime. It's just that the curse forces him to learn from humans to distinguish between good and evil.

The whole story is limited in perspective. What the protagonist sees, the reader knows.

Jian Jing tried to sort out the story of Mrs. Qin Liu Baofeng, and then narrate it from the perspective of the devil.

This is a beautiful and generous woman. She may not be beautiful and charming, but she is knowledgeable and elegant in conversation. It is difficult for people not to like her. And her husband is hypocritical and insidious. He appears to be in love with his wife in front of others, but in fact he has already cheated on her... It

is not too difficult to write a plot with a real prototype, but Jian Jing still encountered trouble.

The "devil" she wrote is missing something.

There are no two leaves that are alike. Even the same author cannot guarantee that they will not be out of shape, let alone characters created by two different people.

"Jian Jing" became famous at a young age, but her parents died. She unconsciously distanced herself from the world, so the devil she created is a bystander. Her happy family and ordinary life make her indistinguishable from the crowd, but also give her the perspective closest to ordinary people.

She tries to figure out Liu Baofeng's psychological activities and guesses her motives, which is contrary to the devil's mentality.

The devil doesn't care.

At three o'clock in the morning, Jian Jing deleted all the words in the document and reaffirmed a fact.

She can't write the devil of "Jian Jing".

But this doesn't mean she will give up.

Jian Jing made herself an iced American coffee and leaned back in the chair. It was pitch black outside the window, with only a few houses still having lights on.

□□ drove away her sleepiness and set off again.

Since what has happened is destined to be unchangeable, why should we cling to the past?

Jian Jing and "Jian Jing" coexist in this body, and so can the devil. Why not add a new protagonist to "Devil Doctor" and make it a story with two protagonists.

Kang Mucheng got home at 12:30 last night and fell asleep at one o'clock. It is now 6:30 in the morning, and he is reading the draft of "Devil Doctor II" sent by Jian Jing after only five hours of sleep.

Old framework, new characters.

This is within his expectations.

The key to a series of stories is that there must be a clear main line, but "Devil Doctor" does not have one. It is composed of a series of unit stories and can end at any time.

But readers are very picky creatures.

If the second part cannot maintain the original level - no, to be precise, it only maintains it, and there is nothing that makes them shine, they will inevitably be disappointed. And if the changes are too big and the original flavor is not retained, it will also disappoint readers.

Jian Jing made a very pleasing setting to make up for the defect of having no main line.

The devil is evil, but he is a doctor who saves the dying and the wounded.

The new character is good, but he wants to be a violent hunter.

Devil Hunter.

Black and white, good and evil, worldly and otherworldly, the story is full of sparks of contradictions.

"Very good." He replied to Jian Jing, "I look forward to the sequel."

Jian Jing's tone seemed to be unconvinced: "This is just a first draft, you don't need to encourage me so much, I want to know your real thoughts."

Kang Mucheng smiled. This scene has happened countless times, he said very skillfully: "This is my real thought."

"Don't you think it's abrupt? New role, completely different perspective." She asked.

Kang Mucheng thought about it and replied, "The hunter's perspective is necessary. Demons are not human beings. They cannot understand many complex emotional factors, and you have no idea where to start. Hunters, who are also human beings, can make up for this and make readers feel more involved.

"The feud between the two protagonists also enriches your main storyline. The curse of the demon originated from the ancestors of the hunters, and the hunters therefore shouldered the responsibility of destroying the demons... It's a very interesting cause and effect, and readers will like it."

After thinking for a while, he concluded, "They blend perfectly and complement each other very well."

Jian Jing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

Perhaps this is the answer she is looking for.
