On Wednesday, the pre-heating video of Weng Huaijing and Yan Qing's "Talent Co., Ltd." became very popular on major video platforms, and all kinds of gods were having fun playing various "speak for themselves" jokes.
The script reading preparatory meeting for the second episode of the "Talent Co., Ltd." program group is going on as scheduled in the script character reading conference room on the second floor of the "Office Building".
The leader of the program's photography team, Mo Ran, deployed four cameras to record footage from different camera angles.
Luo Bing, who had already learned that the warm-up publicity far exceeded the project team's expectations, could not hide his joy at this time. From time to time, he shared the specific data on the popularity of the communication obtained in real time from the parent company of Xiyu through the WeChat group on his mobile phone.
"The popularity of our endorsement meme, tsk tsk, we should book in advance the most popular Internet words of the year."
Luo Bing and Shao Qing communicated in low voices.
"No, this morning even lvmh, the parent company of "LV" endorsed by Huaijing, contacted me in Paris, and they are preparing to release a limited edition of the Weng Huaijing (Zhiyu Zhishan) speedy25 handbag. In the past few days, they have
I’ll probably be able to tweet and whisper on both ends to warm up.”
Shao Qing replied with a wide-eyed smile.
Luo Bing covered her mouth and controlled her volume: "Twitter, whisper both ends, are you sure?"
Shao Qing nodded: "I'm sure, their brand director sent an email, and our video was moved to YouTube by fans, and it's also very popular."
…………
Before Yan Qing read the manuscript he chose for "Scumbag Whitewashing", the planning team represented by Yili and Weng Huaijing each shared a manuscript at the manuscript reading meeting.
Yili chose a somewhat uneventful love story that took place in a workplace at the end of the last century. Although the process was unremarkable, the relationship between the male and female protagonists in the story was simple, flawless, and quite beautiful.
Yan Qing's evaluation is that this story has the potential to be adapted into a romance film script with a certain market value and a certain sense of the times, but the audience for the movie is too narrow.
Yan Qing concluded:
"If it is filmed, I suggest that the best way to operate it is to participate in film festivals to win awards and win reputation, then screen it on a small scale, do word-of-mouth operations to expand the audience, and then release it to the public."
Weng Huaijing also commented on the synopsis of the story. She followed Yan Qingti’s idea of winning the prize.
She explained concisely and concisely that although experts from the major film festival award committees have always liked this kind of nostalgic and restrained emotion, this story is so flat that there is not even room for the actors to perform.
If no major changes are made, she is not optimistic about the market potential of the adapted story.
In the end, Yi Li also nodded and admitted that she chose such a subject based on the desire for stability.
…………
Weng Huaijing shared a story about the beginning of childhood sweethearts of the hero and heroine.
After graduating from college, the hero and heroine chose to break up due to various reasons and worked hard for several years in the cities where they chose to work. During this period, they also experienced several unsuccessful relationships.
The two reunited at the tenth anniversary party of college graduation, and the flames of love sprouted again. However, due to the passage of time, although the two made great efforts and tried to change for each other, in the end they still did not make it to the end.
Weng Huai looked straight at the camera and made a concluding speech calmly:
"Two people who obviously love each other, due to the changes in time and space, as they experience more and more, all the love between them is finally wiped out. It can only be said that love is an art of mutual compromise, and it is also an art that requires superb skills.
The art of communication skills.”
Yili gave her own evaluation like this:
"This story is artistic enough, and there is plenty of room for performance, but the whole story can hardly be called commercial. The current movie viewing market is not very welcoming of such works."
Liu Mingren interjected:
"Yes, and if it is forcibly changed to a happy ending, if there is no reasonable motivation for the changes in characters and plot, the hastily revised result will be difficult to convince and will fall behind, so it is better not to change it."
Seeing Weng Huaijing nodding in recognition of Yi Li and Liu Mingren's point of view, Yan Qing also commented on Weng Huaijing's story:
"I actually like this story very much, because the time when this story happened is very close to the age level of the main audience in the current movie viewing market."
Seeing that Weng Huaijing was completely ignoring him, Yan Qing continued:
"Even if you don't change the ending, if the script is polished well, even if it ends tragically, it won't have that big of a commercial impact."
"oh?"
Liu Mingren and Yi Li both looked at Yan Qing expectantly, thinking that he planned to support the selection of this book.
But Yan Qing changed the subject:
"But there is still a small problem with the story. The lines of the male and female protagonists in the original manuscript are a bit younger, and have a serious youth idol drama style. This part needs some major changes."
Yan Qing read a story shared by Weng Huaijing. When the hero and heroine broke up for the second time, the hero tried to stay with him:
"Cai Jie, I have tried everything, but I can't do it. I find that I can't do it. I really can't do what you ask for."
Yan Qing raised his hands and backed away slowly, saying nervously:
"Maybe I have changed too much over the years, so strange that I can't even recognize myself, ha, but do you think you haven't changed at all?"
Yan Qing showed an excellent drama actor's line skills. He mobilized the muscles on his face and performed a man who went from a ferocious expression of pain and self-blame to a man who laughed and then smiled evilly.
When Weng Huaijing saw this scene, the corners of her mouth raised slightly and her eyes flickered, but soon she lowered her head to hide her eyes with her hanging bangs.
After a while, Weng Huaijing raised her head again and looked at Yan Qing. Her pupils returned to the shape of a bottomless pool. She just raised her sharp eyebrows and asked coldly:
"What about the story you chose?"
Liu Mingren, Yi Li, Luo Bing and others were still applauding Yan Qing's performance just now.
Only Miao Miao and Shao Qing, who were sitting on the sofa outside the conference room, noticed this scene. Shao Qing gently reached out and touched Miao Miao's secretly raised fist.
Yan Qing took out a stack of manuscript paper and began to read the manuscript he had chosen for "The Scumbag Whitewashing".
…………
After he finished sharing, as expected, Miao Miao's reaction was the same as Miao Miao's when she heard the story. Almost everyone objected.
"The story frame is too thin and can hardly support a complete movie script." This was the objection from Yili.
"No one wants to go to the cinema to watch the murmurs of a terminally ill scumbag before his death!" This is Luo Bing's sharp comment.
"If you focus on the two failed marriage experiences that he did not mention in detail, I think this story seems to have some value worthy of further exploration." This is Shao Qingzai and Xini.
Weng Huaijing was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but waited for everyone else to speak before analyzing it unhurriedly:
"Perhaps from his perspective, he is reminiscing about this experience every day, and that girl seems to have become the spiritual pillar that allowed him to spend the last period of his life alone."
There was no subjective emotion in Weng Huaijing's tone.
"But in that girl's memory, the male protagonist is just an ordinary scumbag who met someone unkindly thirteen years ago."
Weng Huaijing pushed the bangs in front of his eyes behind his ears before continuing:
"The male protagonist made several assumptions in the manuscript, but even if these impossible assumptions are met and he is given another chance, he will still not succeed. Unless..."
Weng Huaijing paused, looked at Yan Qing who was looking at him with a smile and said:
"Unless you're going to give him multiple chances."
Yan Qing originally smiled, holding the thick stack of manuscript paper and waiting for Weng Huaijing to finish his analysis, then turned to the second page and started talking about his own outline settings.
At this moment, he couldn't help but suppress his smile, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "I want to pretend for once, is it really that difficult?"
Yan Qing admitted it simply: "Yes, that's what I planned."
"Then how to solve the disgust accumulated by the heroine after being offended again and again? This seems like an endless cycle..."
Weng Huaijing did not look at him again. After asking and answering a question, he followed Luo Bing, Yi Li, Liu Mingren and others into thinking.
Yan Qing raised the manuscript paper that was turned to the second page and interrupted everyone's meditation:
"At that time, Miao Miao asked me if I wanted to forcibly clean up this scumbag. I told her that neither the man nor the girl in this story would appear in the final script."
Everyone in the conference room remained quiet, waiting for Yan Qing to continue speaking.
"I just intercepted the experience of a male character who failed to pick up girls through PUA as inspiration, and put it into an absurd setting framework."
Yili liked this imaginative setting and couldn't help but ask: "How absurd is it?"
Yan Qing smiled mysteriously:
"In the script, the male protagonist will not suffer from any incurable diseases, nor will he have those two failed marriages. The main frame of the script is focused on the day when the male protagonist starts pursuing the heroine, and the next day will be
The play ends."
As if being burned by a pool of autumn water thrown diagonally from the opposite side, Yan Qing coughed lightly and continued:
"As for all the other characters in the script, they simply spent an ordinary day in this city, and the heroine also encountered an ordinary confession as lightly as she had in her past life experience."
Yan Qing put down the manuscript paper, spread out his palms, and finished his settings in one breath:
"But for the male protagonist in the script, he is the only one trapped in this day. Whenever time passes a certain point, it automatically restarts and goes back to 24 hours ago. The cycle continues and restarts. Even if he commits suicide, he cannot get rid of it.
This cyclical process.
It wasn't until one day that he impressed the heroine with his sincerity and gained true love, ending this endless time loop."
"hiss…"
“So novel…”
"Sister Bing, let's call this having a lot of imagination."
Yan Qing noticed that the atmosphere in the conference room was filled with heated discussions. Except for Weng Huaijing, she lowered her head and seemed to be thinking about something.
