[Congratulations to the host for receiving the award: Lucky Orange, the movie script "Source Code" series. 】

The moment he saw the blind box reward, Chen Fei's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Huh? Another lucky orange!"

The oranges before had been consumed. After soaking them in water, Chen Fei had already beaten them into powder, waiting for the opportunity to make dumplings and eat them.

But now, luckily, another one has arrived!

He suddenly couldn't hold back his excitement and muttered nonchalantly: "Namo Amitabha, Jade Emperor, God of Wealth, Yue Lao, bless you, Amen..."

system:"???"

…

As for the movie script "Source Code"...

Chen Fei's eyes flashed, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

Since the filming of "No Man's Land" ended last year, he has completely stopped filming plans in China.

Although "Unfortunate Journey" and "Chinese Partner" were scripts written by him and invested and produced by him, after all, these were not films directed by him himself.

"Why don't we modify this "Source Code" and replace it with the domestic version? Let's try to shoot a medium-sized science fiction production first to get the feeling of making a science fiction blockbuster?"

Thinking of this, Chen Fei suddenly felt moved.

Although he holds several large-scale production scripts in his hands, he has no experience in filming large-scale productions.

For science fiction films like "Inception" and "Interstellar", it would be very difficult for him to do it himself.

"Source Code" happens to be a medium-production science fiction film, which can be used to practice and accumulate some experience in shooting large-scale science fiction films.

This movie is quite familiar to him. It roughly tells the story of the male protagonist being reborn in the same space and trying to find a way to defuse the bomb.

He vaguely remembered that the investment in this movie should be around US$30 million.

But if he were to take the photos himself, he probably wouldn't need so much.

Even if it requires some special effects shots, plus his director and actor fees, almost 20 million US dollars is enough.

The more he thought about it, the more Chen Fei couldn't hold back his excitement.

After getting his clothes back and putting them on, he briefly accepted a reporter's interview, then took a taxi and went straight to Shenzhen Airport.

…

Two hours later, the flight from Shenzhen to the capital took off!

Sitting in the first class cabin, Chen Fei did not rest, but began to make major revisions to the script.

He needs to adapt this script into a domestic version, and after it is submitted for review, he will organize a professional budget team to carry out early investment planning.

First come up with the budget, then raise investment, and then start shooting...

This movie may be able to take the route of overseas distribution!

And it just happens to be able to take out those people who have returned from Hollywood training and see if they have enough experience in large-scale production shooting.

By the time the plane landed, the main frame of the script had already taken shape.

Chen Fei closed his laptop and was going to take the script back to the company and let the people on the screenwriting team polish the details.

Su Guohai was very thoughtful. When the company was first founded, he suggested that Chen Fei form a team of screenwriters.

This editorial team is definitely not just sitting around and doing nothing. Their work is very complex and they need to collect suitable books from literature libraries across the country.

If there is a book suitable for adapting a film or television drama, then the company will send someone to buy the copyright and adapt the film and television script.

The last time Chen Fei spoke to Su Guohai, he heard him say that the screenwriting team had created several scripts and was now waiting for him to come back for review.

At present, domestic film and television copyright fees for books are not very high. Compared with the investment in making movies, they are a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, Chen Fei authorized a high purchase amount to those on the screenwriting team. As long as he thinks a certain work is suitable for adaptation, then buy it!

…

After leaving the airport, Chen Fei hailed a taxi and went straight to Feiyue Film and Television Company.

Seeing that his elusive boss was back, the young lady at the front desk was stunned for a while before she realized what she was doing.

But before she could say hello, Chen Fei disappeared in front of her in the blink of an eye like a gust of wind.

Pushing open the door of the screenwriting department's office, Chen Fei was about to call someone, but he was stunned by the scene in front of him!

Waste paper scattered all over the floor, various character relationship diagrams pasted on the wall, and the smell of tobacco filling the air...

Mother!

Those who didn’t know better thought this was a crime scene!

Looking at the messy environment in front of him, Chen Fei looked helpless and had no choice but to shout: "Ni Xuelin? Are you playing case reasoning here? Look what this office is like?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man who was concentrating on typing on the keyboard turned his head subconsciously.

"What the hell? Brother Fei?"

The shouts rang out, and the other four people in the office area were also alerted. They all turned their heads and quickly said hello to Chen Fei.

These guys are all from Nortel's screenwriting department. Some of them are in the same class as Chen Fei, and some are seniors a few classes older than him.

The original three scripts of "Buried Alive", "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing" were led by an associate professor in the screenwriting department to polish and fill in the details.

So at the beginning of the company's establishment, Chen Fei found the top five screenwriters and brought them back to the company.

The leader of this screenwriting team is exactly what Chen Fei calls Ni Xuelin. He is in level 01 and is in the same class as Wang Luodan.

After pulling the waste paper on the ground to both sides, Chen Fei reluctantly came to their desk.

"You guys should clean it up, this office area has been turned into a pig's nest."

Putting out the cigarette in his hand, Ni Xuelin quickly said: "Hey, if you have time, we will definitely clean it up when we have free time."

Of course, the company has cleaners, but the screenwriting department is a bit special. A piece of paper dropped on the ground may record important creative inspiration.

Therefore, the cleaners do not dare to come in and clean without permission, and can only rely on them to tidy up on their own initiative.

"well!"

With a helpless sigh, Chen Fei opened his laptop and transferred the script about "Source Code" to Ni Xuelin's computer.

"You guys should stop what you are doing for a while and polish the details of this script for me first. It should be handed over to me as soon as possible, preferably before the 25th."

script?

Ni Xuelin's face lit up, and after taking a rough look at the content of the script, he quickly promised: "Brother Fei, don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"

Today is only the 22nd, and there are still three days until the 25th, which is enough time.

After closing the laptop and looking at the people with dark circles under their eyes, Chen Fei said simply: "Let's go, there's no need to work overtime tonight, I'll treat you to dinner and take a sauna by the way.

Look at you all, you should pay some attention to your life after work. It’s time to talk about your girlfriend. Don’t be so sloppy all day long. If this continues, which girl will fall in love with you? "

Have a meal? Sauna?

Upon hearing these two words, several people's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ni Xuelin couldn't wait, "Is it the one-stop kind?"

Several other people had smiles on their faces that only men could understand.

"Then I don't care. You can do whatever you want. When the time comes, I will issue an invoice and I will ask the finance department to reimburse you."

"Yeah! Long live Brother Fei!"

Several people shouted and quickly started to pack their personal belongings.

But at this moment, Ni Xuelin came over with a thick stack of A4 paper.

"Brother Fei, this is a script adapted by our brothers during this period. It is a script for a TV series. Can you give us your review?"

"Huh? I just heard Mr. Su say some time ago that you bought the rights to adapt several published novels, and now you have compiled the script? Is the progress going very fast?"

While saying this, Chen Fei looked down.

"Latent"

The two words specially outlined with red pen give people a thrilling feeling!

And... looking at these two words, Chen Fei felt inexplicably familiar.

After briefly browsing the content, he was very sure that the "Latent" that Ni Xuelin took out was really the spy drama starring Sun Honglei that he had seen before his rebirth.

Ni Xuelin explained to him verbosely: "This is a story about faith, which combines many elements such as humor, romance, suspense, and wits. It shows the struggle and sacrifice of underground workers in a special era. …”

After more than ten minutes, Chen Fei roughly finished reading the script.

Ni Xuelin was a little thirsty as he spoke, so he grabbed the mineral water on the table and drank a few gulps, and then asked curiously: "Brother Fei, you have more experience than us, what do you think of this book?

We have done some research and found that this kind of anti-war and espionage drama is actually outdated, but its investment is relatively low and the shooting cycle is not long, so it should be no problem to pay back..."

"Okay, stop talking."

Chen Fei raised his hand to stop Ni Xuelin's idea of ​​continuing.

The office area suddenly became quiet, and the five people stared at Chen Fei, waiting for him to make his final decision.

If the company is willing to invest, then everything is easy to say, but if it is unwilling to invest, then their hard work over the past few months will be in vain.

"The company has invested in this project. I can authorize it for you, and you can choose the actors. As for the director, I have a suitable person here, but the filming may not start until next year. I can make some preliminary preparations now."

Hearing this, several people were stunned.

Ni Xuelin looked in disbelief, "Fei...Brother Fei? Are you really willing to vote?"

"Hey? Can I still lie to you? But you have to finish "Source Code" for me first. I'm going to start filming this script by the end of the year, and I'm quite pressed for time."

"good!"

Ni Xuelin nodded fiercely, turned around, hugged the keyboard and started to do it.

Chen Fei suddenly became happy and joked: "What's going on? The big sword is gone?"

"If you don't go, what's the fun? Let's finish the work first."

"Stop pretending, I don't know who you are?" Chen Fei rolled his eyes at him, turned around and waved the others to go out, still muttering: "If you don't come, I can't do that for Technician No. 6." Let Zhang Zilong take him home."

Ni Xuelin stood up suddenly and shouted quickly: "Hey! Stop! I'm going! Xiaoqian is mine!"

…

After taking these guys to eat, Chen Fei separated from them.

His status is quite special. Even if he is having a meal, someone will follow him. If he goes to Dabao Sword, he will definitely be exposed by the paparazzi.

So, while those guys were taking a bath, he simply went to a nearby cinema.

"Initial D" has been released, and by this time the movie theater posters have already been replaced by "Seven Swords" and the Hollywood blockbuster "War of the Worlds".

Not to mention the latter, he went to see it with Amanda when he was in Hollywood.

Directed by Spielberg, it combines science fiction, action, thriller, horror and many other elements. It is a blockbuster and the global box office has exceeded 500 million.

Both Paramount and United Artists made huge profits!

As for the former...

After watching this movie in person, Chen Fei discovered some problems.

First of all, the movie is too long, a full 153 minutes, which is half an hour longer than other movies. The audience couldn't sit still after watching the movie.

Moreover, the style of this film is relatively realistic and dull, and lacks some sense of surprise that can dazzle audiences who love martial arts.

However, the overall tone is still unified, and director Xu Ke is quite safe in making martial arts films.

When walking out of the screening room, Chen Fei suddenly noticed that some staff were replacing posters.

They took down the poster for "Seven Swords" and replaced it with "Myth".

On the huge poster, Chen Long, Jin Xishan, and Liang Jiahui were prominently listed!

Many movie fans are standing in front of the poster and discussing. It can be heard from their conversations that the fans' expectations for this movie are quite high.

"Jingle Bell!"

The sudden ringing of the phone drew Chen Fei's attention away from the poster.

He took out his cell phone and saw the name "Ning Hao" on the caller ID.

"Director Chen? I heard someone said you are back?"

"Well, I just arrived in the capital in the evening."

"Do you have time? Come to the set. I need to ask you something."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Fei didn't think too much, took a taxi and went straight to the set of "Chinese Partner".

For the purpose of filming, the crew specially rented an office building on the first floor and set it up as a shooting venue for training, conferences, offices and many other purposes.

What Chen Fei didn't expect was that when he arrived at the filming location and saw Ning Hao, the guy was worried about something else.

"How do you think this MV should be shot? I have thought of many plans, but I just feel it doesn't fit the song."

"..."

Looking at the rich and noble flower sitting quietly next to him without saying a word, Chen Fei forcibly stopped his thoughts of blaming others.

In the middle of the night, you called me here to discuss with you how to shoot this MV?

That is, Ning Hao dares to do this...

Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Fei could only say: "Why don't you let me listen to the song first? What's the style of music? Sweet? Love? Sad? Lovelorn?"

Before Ning Hao could speak, Jing Tian on the side quickly replied: "It's a love song."

As she spoke, she pressed the tape recorder placed beside her, and with the unique rustling sound of the tape, a love song with a special charm slowly sounded in the conference room.

After quietly listening to this 4-minute love song, the first thought that came to Chen Fei's mind was...

Jing Tian's voice is not sweet at all!

This girl is quite good-looking, and her face is so tender that it feels like it's watering, but her voice has an androgynous feel to it.

To sum it up, it's... nothing special.

It’s no wonder that no matter how much you praise them, they are always high and low. Whether they are actors or singers, what they fear most is that they don’t have memorable characteristics.

This is a fatal flaw!
