Generally speaking, Yan Huibai will not participate in the filming. When adapting other works, he will only focus on casting. From the start of filming to the completion of filming, he may go to the crew two or three times, or he may not go and only communicate with the director online.
Because this time it was an original story, the director saw the script a few days earlier than Chi Yan.
In addition, the movie only has about two hours of content. Even if the screenwriter writes more, it will not be as comprehensive and detailed as the novel creation.
As a result, Director Ma was always worried that his interpretation of the story was not in-depth and accurate enough, and he was afraid that the final film might deviate from the ideas of the writer and teacher.
He called Xu Mi to communicate: "Writer Yan said on Weibo that this script was made by you and him, Mimi. I guess you have a good relationship with him. Can you make an appointment for us and ask the writer to give the main actors an in-depth review?"
Dissect this story?”
Xu Mi thought that this was indeed necessary. It was best to determine how each part would be presented in advance with the actors, so that everyone could practice in a targeted manner instead of spending a lot of energy analyzing the characters.
There are many unconventional roles in mystery films, and if the actor is asked to think about them, he may not be able to figure them out clearly.
Xu Mi said to ask for him, and then conveyed the director's ideas to Yan Huibai, asking him to spare a little time. After all, genius' scripts always require genius to interpret.
After waiting for maybe more than a minute, three words came back: flatterer.
Xu Mi:……
Gan.
——[Don’t like to hear nice things? Do you need me to talk to you in another way?]
[Any day within half a month.]
[Notify me in advance if you make a reservation.]
——[Good guy~]
——[Oh, by the way, isn’t Teacher Yan going to expand this script into a novel and launch it after the movie is released? I think our box office will not be bad, and it should be able to boost the sales of your novel.]
——[The price of a book may not be as expensive as movie tickets. There must be movie fans who are not satisfied after reading it and want to read the original text.]
——[This is your chance to make a fortune!]
[I am not short of money.]
——[Really don’t think about it? I also want to buy a copy for my collection. This is a story of extraordinary significance.]
[I’m not short of money, but I can write.]
After finishing speaking, as if he was afraid of being misunderstood, he added: [It’s been exactly two years since I published a new book, and the editor would annoy me to death if I didn’t publish one.]
The editor in charge of Yan Huibai is a forty-year-old middle-aged man. He said that the relationship between the editor and the author is due to the fact that the cooperation time has been too long and has become more of a friend.
Yan Huibai's first book was written by him, and they were both rookies at the time.
In the past twelve or three years, not only has Yan Huibai grown into a man who stands at the top of the industry pyramid, but he as an editor has also gained a decisive position. Although the editor wants to fight him a few times every year, he can still win the year-end award.
After discovering Yan Huibai's beauty, she was still strong enough to send her to her door the next year to be ruined by this dog writer.
A few months ago, the editor made a plan to help him expand his popularity around the world.
People are listing the benefits, trying to get Yan Huibai to cooperate with TV programs, accept some media interviews, and the most important thing is to get him to agree to shoot a few promotional posters.
The publishing house feels that the author's good looks should not be wasted. There is no need to put the face on the cover. As long as promotional posters with the author's photo are posted in major bookstores, his sales may double.
No matter what skin color or race, people always love beauty.
Yan Huibai is the pinnacle of good looks in the writer circle. He is a typical representative who can rely on his face to make a living but insists on selling his talent. This person is very profitable to set up.
As a result, guess what?
He hasn't settled on the writer yet. The writer flew away on a plane ticket and has been away for several months, with no sign of coming back.
The publishing house was preparing to send the editor on a business trip. At this time, the writer took the initiative to contact us. The editor was extremely excited: "Grandpa, you finally understand that we are doing it for your own good. Cooperate with the plan and you will cooperate with the publishing house for a win-win situation!"
"...What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Didn't you call me because you figured it out?"
Yan Huibai walked back to the sofa, sat down, and said, "You are too annoying. Don't look for me from now until Christmas."
"ha?"
"I will give you the manuscript after the festival."
"New work??? Can be finished before Christmas??? This is the first good news I've heard this year. Thank God!!"
The editor was about to shed tears on the spot. Yan Huibai told him: "You should know that I wrote a script for a mystery film? What I will give you in December is a novel expanded from it. One thing you
Remember, the manuscript must not be leaked, and the book cannot be sold until after the movie is released."
"Okay, of course."
Of course, the editor will know what his writer has been busy with recently. He knows that Yan has recently written a script for a top film crew in China. The outside world seems to think that this movie will definitely achieve impressive results as soon as it is released.
Originally this had little to do with them.
But if a supporting novel is released at the same time, then the film's performance will be very important.
Even if it is just a big hit in the Chinese market, they can point out on the belt that this is the original novel of a movie that has made billions at the box office in China. This is good publicity.
The editor felt that his fortune had finally come to an end, and he was so excited that he could not help himself.
Yan Huibai had only one thought in his mind——
Fortunately it's not a video call, otherwise it would be very annoying to the eyes.
"If I have nothing else to do, I will hang up and go write a manuscript."
"Etc., etc!"
"?"
"We have been friends for more than ten years, right? Something has been wrong with you this year. To be honest, do you have a sweetheart?"
"boring……"
"Listen to me, this is something that all men in the world have to go through. No matter how great you are, whether you are rich, handsome, smart, wise, and talented, there will still be someone who makes you happy when you hear his name but gives you a headache.
I know it as someone who has been there, listen to me, use your smart mind to deduce her thoughts, and then give her a targeted surprise. No woman doesn't like surprises..."
Before the editor finished speaking, Yan Hui rolled his eyes——
"Then she will start a live broadcast and complain to others: You don't know how scary Yan Huibai is. If my first love died because of your evil ideas, you will receive my new book next Christmas, and you won't want to know the title.
.”
…
…
It was extremely quiet on the other side of the receiver.
Yan Huibai smiled and asked him: "Is there anything else?"
"Well, I wish you a happy writing."
After Xu Mi conveyed the writer's intention, the director immediately confirmed the time with the main actors, and they decided to arrange a script explanation four days later. Xu Mi then acted as a sounding board and informed Yan Huibai of the time and location.
The explanation started in the morning. Except for a half-hour break during the meal, actors kept asking questions at other times. Until 6 p.m., all the problems they encountered were explained by Teacher Yan.
The director breathed a huge sigh of relief: "It's too troublesome, Writer Yan. I've made a reservation for a restaurant and let's have a meal together? There may be places I need your advice in the future."
“If you have something to say via WeChat, there’s no need to eat.”
Yan Huibai was about to leave, and Xu Mi thought of his bad behavior. He was not very willing to come to the last birthday party, as if he didn't like that kind of occasion.
But troublesome people feel embarrassed all day long?
Especially since she was the one pulling the strings in the middle.
Xu Mi said hello to the director and caught up with the great writer who had already walked out. She hurriedly chased him out without paying attention to the male lead Chi Yan who tried to come up to talk to her.
"I've heard before that Writer Yan is a loner and doesn't interact with many people outside of work. I thought that his good relationship with our heroine would save him face, but I thought too much... I'll leave it to Xu Mi to greet the writer.
, everyone else, don’t leave, let’s have a meal together.”
Director Ma's face would be given to others, so Chi Yan said sorry.
"I have to go first, I have plans for the evening."
"Xiao Chi is so busy?"
"The movie I'm starring in is about to be released. I don't have much free time during this period. I will have time after October and won't delay the filming."
Chi Yan told the company that he was going to stop his activities as an idol, and told the public that he would concentrate on preparing for a new movie and use this time to complete the transformation from a popular star to an actor.
As long as there are fewer such activities, fans will probably turn to Buddhism, and girlfriend fans will slowly climb over the wall and go to other places if they have nothing to talk about.
Chi Yan is not willing to make sudden official announcements to upset the hearts of his fans. He prefers to be steady and excessive.
It will take some time, and I think with Xu Mi’s personality, it should not be short of this amount of time.
…
There was no big problem with this plan, but I always felt uncomfortable when the person I liked chased someone else, even if the other person hadn't figured it out yet.
Just like fans can sense whether someone their idol likes is in love, Chi Yan is also equipped with a radar to detect love rivals.
For example, he had no defense against Lu Yiming and Yu Yang. He knew that it was impossible for these two.
