Chapter 386 The Creative Team That Came from Afar: He Is the True Master of Comedy Screenwriting
"This place has a lot of historical feel to it; I think we could use it as a filming location sometime..."
Chen Teng's gaze swept across an old residential area near the TV station that was slated for demolition. Wearing sunglasses, he pointed into the distance and gestured as he spoke.
According to the script, "The Love Story of Young Charlotte" is a film that tells a story of a school in the 1990s.
This will include some aerial shots of old urban areas.
These low-rise old houses built in the 1970s and 80s are perfect for taking photos.
"Let's think about the song first. You can find old neighborhoods like this anywhere. Aren't there houses like this everywhere in my hometown in Northeast China?"
"I can't talk," said Ma Li, who has a very outgoing personality.
On her way here, she listened to Guo Dalin's song "Just Once" over and over again.
The more I listen, the more I like it.
I can't wait to find Hengxue Entertainment Company and sign the copyright for this song.
"I just contacted Guo Dalin's studio, and the person in charge said that the copyright of this song is also in Wang Yueheng's hands."
"If you want to buy it, you need to communicate with him in person."
"Wang Yueheng is still inside as a judge for the competition. He probably won't be out until five or six o'clock."
After finishing his phone call, Zhang Chen, the owner of Happy Twist, walked over and sighed.
"Huh? I thought the copyright belonged to Guo Dalin..."
"Iron, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, said in surprise."
"I heard that Wang Yueheng has very high requirements for selling copyrights. If the intended use of the copyright doesn't appeal to him, he won't sell it."
Chang Yuan, also a stage actor, frowned.
Just like Ma Li.
Changyuan also thinks highly of this song.
Despite playing a minor role in the stage play.
But whether in reality or in his works, this song also expresses his true feelings.
"Is that even a question? Our work is definitely top-notch! There's absolutely no doubt about that!"
"Otherwise, why would so many investors only want the script and not the actors? Isn't it because our script is so good?"
"Don't worry, Wang Yueheng will definitely be moved by this work!"
Seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces, Shen Teng, the team's elder brother, immediately stood up to encourage them.
"Brother Teng, what if he only wants the script and doesn't want us to act in it?"
"So, should we keep this song or not...?"
The tall Allen looked at Chen Teng with a conflicted expression and asked.
"Whether we want it or not, isn't that up to us to decide..."
"Besides, with our excellent acting skills, why would he refuse us..."
"It's just a song, we can always find someone else to write it..."
Caught off guard by Allen's question, Shen Teng felt a little guilty and tried to appear calm as he spoke.
"Alright, stop thinking about useless things and let's find a place to rest for a while."
"Let's go over the script together, so we can be prepared in case Wang Yueheng wants to see a live performance."
The boss, Zhang Chen, interrupted from the side.
He was equally determined to win the song "Just Once".
He believes that with this song, coupled with a high-quality script and actors, they will definitely achieve good box office results.
As long as Wang Yueheng's asking price for the copyright is within his means, he will sell everything he owns to secure the copyright.
The group then found a nearby coffee shop.
They sat down to discuss the script while waiting for Wang Yueheng's competition to end.
...
"Thank you, judges. You've all worked hard today!"
Around 6 p.m., the preliminary round of the top ten competition in Jiangxi Province concluded with a thank you from the host, Liu Dan.
As expected.
All of the artists signed to Wang Yueheng's studio made it into the top ten.
Wang Yueheng stood up and, with the help of staff, removed the microphone from his body.
Then she went to the lounge to change into her usual clothes.
We're about to head home and get some rest.
I'm also making preparations for going to Kyoto in a few days to participate in the finals of "I Want to Be on the Spring Festival Gala".
"Yue Heng, a team called Happy Twist just contacted us, saying they want to inquire about purchasing the film and television rights to the song 'Just Once'."
"They drove all the way from Kyoto and even brought the script, saying they were waiting for you to discuss it in person."
After changing her clothes, Mo Zixue came over to report.
"Happy Twist? Why does that sound familiar..."
Wang Yueheng muttered to himself.
"They mainly produced stage plays before, mostly comedies."
"I occasionally appear on variety shows on satellite TV channels, which you may have seen before."
"This is their team's first time making a movie, and they were looking for a theme song. They immediately took a liking to Guo Dalin's song 'Just Once'."
Mo Zixue smiled and said from the side.
"Where are they now? Let's go check on them."
Since the other party had come all this way, Wang Yueheng felt it was polite to meet them.
What if their script aligns with my own ideas?
We currently have actors like Wang Qiang, Guo Dalin, and Liu Shishi in our roster.
Wang Yueheng should also consider more resources related to performing arts.
"You might be resting at a nearby hotel. Should I have them come to the lounge to find you? Or should we talk at the company?"
Wang Yueheng shook his head: "Forget it, I'll go find them myself. There are too many people in the stadium, and I'm too lazy to go back to the company."
...
"What? Wang Yueheng is coming to see us in person?"
Chen Teng and the others, who had been sitting in the coffee shop all afternoon, became excited when they learned that Wang Yueheng was coming.
To save money, the four of them only ordered three cups of coffee.
I've managed to survive until now thanks to free refills.
If Wang Yueheng didn't come out soon, everyone would have fallen asleep on the sofa.
"Quickly, tidy yourself up, don't embarrass yourself later."
Ma Li quickly opened her personal makeup mirror and touched up her lipstick.
He then turned around and straightened the clothes of Changyuan and the others.
Although Wang Yueheng is only a twenty-year-old young artist.
The people present can all be considered his seniors in the entertainment industry.
But there's nothing we can do; after all, they've created so many top-tier, phenomenal works.
He is also the CEO and shareholder of the Bubble Music platform.
It is said that he also has a lot of influence within Douyin (TikTok).
Even for the Voice of China competition that Wang Yueheng planned, Zhang Ming, the boss of Douyin (TikTok), specially helped to retweet the post.
Let alone a small team like Happy Twist.
Even if a national-level director like Zhang Mou came, he would probably treat Wang Yueheng with utmost courtesy.
"Huh? That person should be Wang Yueheng, right?"
Changyuan stared out the window and suddenly said in a low voice.
Everyone turned to look and saw a van parked outside the coffee shop.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a T-shirt, jeans, a baseball cap, and sunglasses strode into the coffee shop.
Beside him was a girl with an outstanding figure and elegant demeanor, dressed in a beige dress, exuding an ethereal charm.
It was Wang Yueheng and his assistant Mo Zixue.
"Ding-a-ling~"
The wind chimes hanging at the entrance of the coffee shop rang.
Led by Mo Zixue, Wang Yueheng went straight to the group of comedians.
"Hello, Professor Yue Heng! It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Upon seeing this, the boss, Zhang Chen, quickly stood up and took the initiative to greet Wang Yueheng.
"Hello, I am Chen Teng."
"My name is Chang Yuan."
"Alan! Hello!"
"My name is Ma Li, Mr. Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
The group shook hands with Wang Yueheng and introduced themselves.
"Wow, oh my god, it really is Wang Yueheng!"
"Oh, is he here to audition for an actor?"
"I was watching the live broadcast of the competition where he was a judge this morning..."
Two female cashiers wearing black uniform skirts.
