Chapter 44 "Farewell My Concubine" Is Broadcast on CCTV and All Online Platforms!

Fang Rong flipped through it casually and glanced at it twice.

With just two glances, he saw...

The prostitute sent her child to opera lessons and said angrily to the old teacher: "You can take him in, and you can do whatever you want."

But her son was born with six fingers and was decisively rejected by the old class leader.

In order to send the child to the theater, she actually cut off the child's deformed fingers in the middle of winter.

Fang Rong was shocked.

He raised his head and glanced at Chen Xiao in shock.

He is worthy of being the screenwriter of "Titanic".

In terms of mobilizing the audience's emotions, it is really high!

With just a few strokes, he depicts the miserable fate of the lower class people in a specific era.

The casual look in his eyes disappeared, he straightened his back and read the script with a serious expression.

The silence in the conference room lasted for ten minutes.

At the long tables on both sides, the clerks who had not received the script looked at the moved expressions of Director Li and others, and became more and more curious. What did the script say?

Why has no one spoken for ten minutes?

They looked at the two colleagues sitting near the door who had received the script, and secretly complained in their hearts.

It’s not just to study policy materials, why did you read it for so long?

Give us a look too!

At least three people are reading a book. Why are you two sitting in the aisle eating alone?

However, the two people did not feel the warm gaze of their colleagues at all, and had no intention of letting go.

throughout the conference room.

Only Chen Xiao looked calm and unhurried.

In the original world, this film was hailed as one of the pinnacles of Chinese-language films and the first domestic film to win the Palme d'Or, the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival.

He is certainly confident with this kind of script.

After another three or four minutes, the other 10 people at the main table closed their scripts one after another and looked at each other with shock in each other's eyes.

Everyone has been working in the film and television industry for many years and knows it very well. The position of chief screenwriter must belong to Chen Xiao.

Yao Hua stared at the script and laughed at himself.

I feel really... old.

Also too conceited.

A few days ago, he even thought about asking Chen Xiao to be his assistant screenwriter.

I thought they didn’t understand drama.

Now it seems like this doesn’t mean you don’t know how to play?

Definitely a theater geek and a history buff.

It perfectly combines the history of Peking Opera and the hardships of ten years of success off stage.

Paired with the human emotions that he is good at.

It's perfect!

Sigh... My script, which focuses on audio-visual effects, is really embarrassed in front of this "Farewell My Concubine".

Li Zhiming put his big hand on the script, his eyes full of surprise.

He glanced at Chen Xiao and nodded appreciatively.

It was so right to call this guy over!

I didn’t expect that he actually knew how to act!

I thought Yao Hua had a good idea, but I didn't expect this kid to come up with such a profound script.

What a genius!

Seeing other people raising their heads, Li Zhiming said, "Everyone has finished reading, right? How do you feel?"

Yao Hua hesitated for a moment, then said with a complex expression: "Director Chen, could you please tell me how long it took you to write this script?"

After saying that, he frowned and stared at Chen Xiao nervously.

If it was really written in half a month, then he wouldn't have to live anymore.

Chen Xiao glanced at the script in front of him and said with a smile: "I have thought about similar stories before. After receiving the notice that I wanted to make a short film, I slightly modified the story in my mind and wrote it out."

For such a profound script, it would be ridiculous to say that I wrote it in seven days...

But even so, Yao Hua, who was sitting opposite, still looked shocked, "What a genius. Director Chen, oh no, Teacher Chen, how many wonderful ideas do you have in your mind?"

He is now talking to Chen Xiao, who is a screenwriter, so he changed his name to Teacher Chen.

Yao Hua sighed softly and looked at Director Li firmly.

"I think this work is very good, and Mr. Chen is very suitable to be the chief screenwriter."

As an opera performer, his years of cultivation have made him more shocked and admired than jealous, and he also has a hint of love for talent.

The position of chief screenwriter should belong to Chen Xiao.

He wouldn't go out of his way to grab such a seat.

Others also echoed.

"I agree."

"Indeed, Teacher Chen is the most suitable."

Li Zhihua nodded with satisfaction.

He felt so too.

"Chen Xiao, what do you think? Is there any problem?"

Of course Chen Xiao agrees.

But there are indeed problems.

"Director Li, of course I don't want to. But I have two small questions."

"Speaking."

"How long do you plan to shoot for?"

Li Zhihua put away the smile on his face and looked at the script, "The original plan was to make a short film, which was filmed years ago. But your script, ten minutes is not enough, right?"

"Well, I guess it will take close to three hours."

"Let's give it half a year, as fast as possible, but quality first." Director Li thought for a moment and waved his hand, "Forget it, for the sake of quality, even if you shoot for a year, it won't be a big problem."

Chen Xiao nodded.

I thought to myself, one year?

You can always wait, but I can't wait.

Finished filming just a year ago!

It's just right to release it during the Spring Festival.

With this in mind, Chen Xiao continued to ask the second question.

"After we finish filming, where will it be broadcast? If it is shown in a cinema, people will have to pay to go to the cinema to watch it, which will raise the threshold. I think if it can be broadcast on CCTV, it can better play a promotional role."

He said this not really for publicity, but because of the mission of the dog system.

The system requires that a film be made and shown on national television.

If it can be broadcast on CCTV, it will kill two birds with one stone.

Not only did he complete the shooting tasks of the Ministry of Culture, expand his contacts and improve his reputation, but he also completed system tasks.

Director Li glanced at him appreciatively.

He had been worried for a moment just now.

Isn't this kid just trying to make money and want to make money by making movies?

It seems now that young people have very high ideological consciousness.

Director Li laughed and said, "Yes, it will be broadcast on CCTV and all online platforms."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Okay, I've finished asking my questions."

At this moment, Fang Rong, who had been keeping his head down and silent, raised his head, pursed his lips, and looked at Chen Xiao and Director Li with an embarrassed expression.

Director Li chuckled, "Director Fang, do you have anything to say?"

Fang Rong smiled awkwardly, looked at the script again, hesitated for a moment, pinched his thigh, gritted his teeth and said:

"Teacher Chen, can you hand over your script to me? I have sung Peking Opera for several years, directed more than ten plays, and filmed TV series. If you let me cooperate with you, I will definitely give my best. No Let a good script gather dust!”

He had just been through a long psychological struggle.

If Chen Xiao was just a screenwriter, he would have mentioned it directly.

The problem is, Chen Xiao is still a director!

And he is no ordinary director. His "Titanic" just broke the domestic box office record yesterday.

Even though he is one of the top ten directors, facing Chen Xiao like this, he is really embarrassed to speak.

But he really, really liked the script.

The reason why I put forward this request with such a thick face is that besides liking it, there is another reason.

He has one reliance and advantage - he can sing.

Even if Chen Xiao knows Peking Opera, can he know how to sing if he graduated with a major in advertising? Can you guide the actors in singing, chanting, doing and beating, and give personal demonstrations?

Definitely not.

So, for the sake of this drama, let’s leave it to him, right?

He will definitely produce works that satisfy Chen Xiao.

Thinking like this, Fang Rong, one of the top ten directors and the resident director of prime time, stared at Chen Xiao expectantly.
