Chapter 39 Happy Birthday

Weng Huaijing waited for Yi Li to finish speaking and the conference room became a little quiet before he spoke leisurely:

"I just finished reading the biographies you made for the male and female protagonists, as well as some lines of dialogue in the plot.

The heroine has a postgraduate degree and is studying an unpopular field such as the study of ancient Chinese literature in the pre-Qin period."

Seeing Yan Qing nod, Weng Huaijing continued to look straight at the camera: "Then there is a question..."

Yan Qing lowered his head and turned over a few pages of the manuscript: "You said..."

"There is a scene in a restaurant. In front of many diners and the heroine, the hero indulges his appetite regardless of image. He eats too much, smokes, and drinks tea from the public teapot directly with his mouth. The heroine is

What he said next to him..."

Weng Huaijing's expression showed a mixture of pitiful pity and angry disappointment, and he began to read a certain line of the heroine:

"The poor person only pays attention to his own feelings, and does not care whether his behavior will make others feel that he is disgraced, and the double death will fall into the filthy dust from where he appeared, without anyone to mourn or respect him.

, singing praises.”

After Weng Huaijing finished reciting his lines, he didn't say anything else, he just looked at Yan Qing quietly and intently.

Yan Qing raised his hand and pressed his forehead, thought for a while, and said slowly: "It's a wonderful performance. I think I understand what you mean. This poem is a bit out of place here, and it is a bit different from the heroine's character."

Break away.”

"Try this..." Weng Huaijing regained his previous compassionate look:

"The people of ancient times, when they succeeded in their aspirations, benefited the people; when they failed to achieve their ambitions, they cultivated themselves to be seen in the world. If they were poor, they would be good for themselves; if they were prosperous, they would benefit the world. I give you this piece of "Mencius", hoping that you will not care about my friendship.

, take care of yourself."

There was warm applause in the conference room, and Weng Huaijing continued: "There are no flaw in the context of other lines, and these plots are pretty... good."

Yan Qing took over Weng Huaijing's words and introduced the three plots he named to other participants:

"A "Perfect" Day" tells a story like this:

In the time loop, the male protagonist used the information he collected in advance and the PUA theory he summarized to easily pick up all the beautiful girls in the town, and finally extended his clutches to the heroine.

But no matter how many times the male protagonist tries, even if he collects all the information about the heroine from childhood to adulthood, and concocts round after round of special plans to suit the heroine's preferences (the perfect date time of the day), he still cannot succeed.

Once I was slapped and taught by the heroine.



"The Sorrow of Omniscient and Almighty" tells a slightly sad story:

The male protagonist has experienced nearly a thousand time loops, and he is so familiar with the town that he hates it. He even knows what everyone in the town will do and when.

The male protagonist fell deeply into numbness, living like a zombie every day, until one day, he couldn't bear the pressure and confided in the female protagonist, telling everything.

In the end, with the heroine's comfort and enlightenment, the male protagonist was moved by her kindness and thoughtfulness. While completely falling in love with the heroine, he also gained a positive attitude towards facing the time cycle.



"Today is Tomorrow" is also the finale of the entire plot, and it is still the happy ending that is common in commercial movies:

The male protagonist who has adjusted his mentality has gone through long-term and unremitting efforts in the time loop to cultivate himself into an excellent and good man with a sublimated personality. One day it will come naturally, and when the heroine takes the initiative, he finally gains something.

The heroine's heart also breaks away from the shackles of the time cycle and successfully reaches their happy tomorrow.

After explaining the three plots, Yan Qing asked Liu Mingren: "Is there any hope that we can finish filming in two days, Director Liu?"

Seeing that Liu Mingren was a little hesitant, Yan Qing continued to explain:

"I have tried my best to cut off a lot of unnecessary outdoor scenes. My idea is that for most of the indoor scenes, we can use multiple cameras to shoot at the same time, and use long shots from one shot to the end as much as possible to maintain the high efficiency of a single shot.

Under the premise of passing... is this possible?"

Liu Mingren flipped through the contents of the manuscript paper in his hand again. He seemed to have been thinking about the scene arrangement and other issues. After a long while, he replied:

"If we follow the previously planned recording plan, we will have to test-shoot a few scenes based on the script this Friday and Saturday. This is why Yili will choose a stable plan, at least it will be able to be in our

This "office building" temporarily set up a scene to complete the filming work."

Yi Li clasped her hands and looked at Liu Mingren: "Our teacher Yan Qing wrote these three plots really well... Director Liu, it would be a pity if we couldn't film this."

Liu Mingren waved his hand to indicate to Yi Li that he hadn’t finished speaking yet:

“I’ve thought about it, we can temporarily set up three tent scenes in the performing arts bar on the first floor: a bar counter scene, a high-end restaurant scene, and an ordinary tea restaurant scene. The artist lounge can be used to shoot the male protagonist’s hotel scenes, snow scenes, etc.

It can be arranged manually in the yard..."

Luo Bing saw that Liu Mingren was speaking slower and slower, so he interrupted: "Director Liu, what difficult problems do you have now?"

"We need to purchase a lot of props, especially the ice sculpture of the heroine's half-length figure in the scene of "Today is Tomorrow". We have to find a way... and some necessary extras, like the little girl who sells roses at the door of the hotel late at night.

Girl~"

"I can do this, I can look small..."

Miao Miao's sudden voice caused the meeting room to burst into laughter, and Shao Qing joked:

"I thought Xiaomiao would take the initiative to play the role of the cheongsam girl in the tea restaurant who was raped by the male protagonist."

"I'm not, I don't, I don't want to, sister Qing, please don't talk nonsense."

Miao Miao blushed so anxiously that she reached out to cover Shao Qing's mouth.

"What can be solved is not a problem. As long as everyone is sure to use this script, we can brainstorm together to solve these problems..."

As Luo Bing spoke, he looked around, and after seeing everyone nodding in agreement to use this script, he made a bold decision:

"Leave the ice sculpture to Xiuyu. Today we will find someone to order a crystal bust sculpture based on Weng Huaijing's bust. It's urgent. After the meeting on other props today, Yili took the lead and led the planning team and

The logistics team worked overtime to plan the props and go to the market to purchase them tomorrow. There is no upper limit on the funding for our program."

Yili and the other little girls looked happy when faced with the sudden overtime notice.

Shao Qing looked at Liu Mingren and hesitated: "Do you have enough manpower, Director Liu?"

Liu Mingren discussed with the leader of the photography team, Mo Ran, for a few more words before replying:

"It's not a big problem. We'll transfer some people from Shanghai Pearl TV to support us, including lighting engineers, sound engineers, photographers, and some equipment..."

Liu Mingren looked at Yan Qing:

"The key is that these three scenes need to be directed by Teacher Yan Qing himself. I can only coordinate among them. After all, I still have to take care of the filming of "Malaysian Dolls"."

The matryoshka dolls Liu Mingren is talking about here refer to the fact that he also has to supervise the program recording team to film the three plots directed by Yan Qing.

Everyone quickly got the idea of ​​Liu Mingren’s matryoshka doll, and the conference room was filled with joy.

Yan Qing signaled to Luo Bing that there was no problem on his side, and then everyone turned their attention to Weng Huaijing.

Weng Huaijing turned around and looked at Shao Qing.

Shao Qing stood up from the single sofa in the outer circle knowingly and walked to Weng Huaijin, lowering his head and whispering a few words.

After Yan Qing saw Weng Huaijing nodding slightly, Shao Qing sat back down next to Miao Miao and Zhou Peipei. After a while, Shao Qing cleared his throat and said, "If we can borrow some shots, we'll have no problem here."

.”

Others in the conference room smiled kindly.

"Let's continue to complete the other characters and details of the plot. Miao Miao is responsible for the copyright registration of this script. Everyone has the right to sign."

Yan Qing opened his mouth to bring everyone back into the atmosphere of collective creation. He continued:

"There was a section that I didn't write out on the manuscript paper. I made a piece of music and planned to write two songs in Cantonese and Chinese respectively in the two plots of the male protagonist, "The "Perfect" Date" and "Today is Tomorrow".

Songs with different meanings,

"White Rose" is used for the male protagonist to perform PUA, and "Red Rose" is used for plot soundtrack. I set the heroine's place of origin to Yunfu people in southern Guangdong Province, which also fits the setting that the heroine rarely sees snow.

.”

…………

The meeting lasted very late, and through Yan Qing's guidance and the collective wisdom of the brainstorming team, the entire script was completed.

Luo Bing also sent the video recording Weng Huaijing's bust data to Whisper's parent company, and arranged for a practice with a 3D printing company to expedite the production of a bust sculpture made of imitation crystal.

Before the meeting ended, the logistics team of "Talent Co., Ltd." gave Yan Qing a surprise:

The lights suddenly went out in the conference room in preparation for reading the manuscript. The birthday cake with 32 candles was pushed in on a trolley from the conference room by Lou Junwei and Zhao Mu from the logistics team. Everyone who had been prepared sang "Happy Birthday" in unison.

"Song.

The candlelight danced in front of Yan Qing's eyes;

The light scent of rosemary that soothed him lingered in the air in the conference room;

There were also songs and blessings offered by everyone in unison, except of course Weng Huaijing.

"After all, she has already danced a piece of "La Bayadere" just for me."

All this made Yan Qing feel comfortable. He quickly stood up and bowed to express his gratitude. He held back what he was thinking and sincerely said that he was very moved by the show crew's thoughtfulness and thanked everyone for the surprises they prepared.

…………

After returning home and entering the house, walk through the porch and gate courtyard on your way back to the small building.

Miao Miao asked Yan Qing in a low voice: "Brother Qing'er, are you happy today?"

Yan Qing's expression was relaxed: "I'm very happy, thank you, Xiaomei."

Miao Miao clenched her little fist and waved: "I will be happy in the future, happy birthday! Brother Qing'er, good night."

"Good night, little meow."

Seeing Miao Miao waving to him and turning around to walk towards her building, Yan Qing, who was standing at the intersection of the stone road in the center of the inner courtyard, took out his phone and checked the time:

"August 29, 2019 0:01"

Yan Qing murmured to her body: "Happy birthday."
