After bidding farewell to Director Tian, Hao Yun returned to the library and sat down with the script, contract and a headache.
After quietly observing the expression on his good friend's face, Lin Mengmeng picked up the pen, poked his arm, and asked in a low voice.
"Hey, who was that person just now?"
"Nothing, just asking me for some information and asking me for a favor..."
Lin Mengmeng glanced at Hao Yun suspiciously, and after hesitating for a while, he spoke worriedly.
"I mean, if...if you encounter a pervert, don't be embarrassed to say it, or you can tell me quietly, and my senior sister will help you!"
"I'm really fine."
"But that person looks very strange. Who is wearing such a strange hat on a hot day... and has sunglasses on his nose? The school is really like this, how could such a weirdo be allowed in!"
yes…
How did this guy get in
But Hao Yun didn't think much about it. After all, since Jiangcheng University has an acting department, it's not surprising that a veteran in the film and television industry like Director Tian knows a few professors and other teachers.
"Let's not talk about this... Is it enough to hit 25,000 points? When enough is enough, I will start to do other things."
As soon as he heard Hao Yun talk about escaping from the temple, Lin Mengmeng's eyes suddenly turned into two crescents of joy, leaving the previous episode behind.
"That's enough, that's enough. Just have more than Jiaojiao! Hehe, thank you. Senior sister will treat you to a big dinner another day!"
Just playing a game.
This meal is too cheap.
Hao Yun smiled and shook his head, unfolding the script that Director Tian had handed to him earlier.
"Luoyang City".
The seemingly ordinary name is probably taken from the phrase "Wei Shu Luoyang City" in the lyrics.
It is worth mentioning that in the history of the Xia Kingdom in this life, the country name Wei has appeared three times, and the screenwriter chose the one during the earliest period of feudal rule. Although this fits the theme of troubled times, it is not consistent with "Luoyang". The prosperous and declining Luoyang described in the original work "Jialan Ji" is obviously inconsistent with it.
"The subject matter matches, but the artistic conception doesn't match."
but…
Maybe the screenwriter has his own ideas
Hao Yun did not immediately give a negative evaluation, but chose to continue reading, trying to find the highlights of the plot.
However, with this idea in mind, he watched until the end without seeing any bright spots in the plot.
Even the large-scale palace struggle and the love between children inside and outside the palace make the tone of the whole drama seem strange.
To put it bluntly, it is obviously a movie with a love line as the main line, so why add a lot of elements of palace conspiracy
There are also those settings of gods and ghosts that make the elements of the whole drama look very confusing, so much so that Hao Yun couldn't find the main thread of the whole drama at the end.
Perhaps influenced by a certain notebook, his attitude towards literary works unconsciously brought on a slightly critical eye.
"The essay alone would have scored 7 points. If it were made into a movie, the plot would only have scored 5 points at most."
"But it's no wonder... After all, for the screenwriter, this drama is completely based on an imaginary world view, and the only reference is a few lyrics and the artistic conception reflected in the melody."
After all, the histories between the two parallel worlds are not connected, and there are big differences in the development trajectories of science and culture. Although many things look similar and are used similarly, they are completely different things.
The most typical one is the mathematical formula. Although most of them still have the same name and are indeed calculated by people with the same name and surname, they are not exactly the same person in history. The same is true in literature. Many literary giants who were familiar to people in the previous life do not exist in this life, but those who left their names are substitutes of other authors.
"Luoyang Jialan Ji" is the most typical embodiment.
Although this book was not very popular in the previous life, its literary value was quite high, and it was recorded in the "Art and Literature Chronicles" of the official histories of all dynasties.
His book depicts Luoyang, a thousand-year-old ancient capital that was once prosperous and then collapsed into ruins. He also records in detail the origins and changes of temples, their scale, and related celebrity anecdotes and anecdotes. He has a close relationship with Li Daoyuan. "Shui Jing Zhu" is regarded as a double gem of Northern Dynasty literature.
What is very unfortunate is that the "Luoyang Jialan Ji" has never appeared in this life, and the background story of this script has become a complete fictional literature.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that it is excusable for the screenwriter to write the script like this
"It's so difficult... This crappy script will definitely go to my grandma's house after it's filmed."
When he thought that he still had 1 million sets in it, Hao Yun suddenly felt depressed.
As for the mission…
A tool man with only a little potential, and not particularly familiar with him, he just let it happen.
Just when Hao Yun was worrying, Lin Mengmeng, who was sitting opposite, leaned on the chair and stretched, and his eyes happened to fall on the stack of paper in his hand.
A trace of curiosity appeared in her eyes, and she couldn't help but ask as she sat upright in the chair.
"What are you looking at?"
"novel."
"Novel? Did that... strange man give it to you?"
Hao Yun hesitated and answered.
"Well, it's...his friend wrote it, and he wanted me to help him see how it went."
When he heard that it was really a novel, Lin Mengmeng, who happened to be tired of writing songs, was immediately interested.
"Really or not? Let me see it too."
"That's not okay," Hao Yun subconsciously moved the script an inch away. He shook his head and said, "This is an unpublished manuscript. We still have to have some professional ethics."
"Tch, don't watch it if you don't want to, no one cares," Lin Mengmeng didn't insist, just curled his lips, and then leaned on the table with a look of discomfort on his face, "Hey, it's so annoying..."
Looking at the senior who suddenly sighed, Hao Yun asked casually.
"What's wrong with you?"
Lying on his crossed elbows, Lin Mengmeng blew the bangs on his forehead in boredom and complained in a low voice.
"Composing music is so difficult! And writing lyrics...especially lyrics, I don't even know what to write."
Well…
Is it so difficult to write lyrics
Thinking of how happy one of his good brothers was every time he was composing lyrics and music in his dormitory, Hao Yun gave her a strange look.
But at this moment, Lin Mengmeng suddenly seemed to have thought of something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he sat up in an instant with energy.
"Speaking of which, is your friend a writer?"
"Probably not... What's the matter?"
When he heard that it was not the case, Lin Mengmeng immediately fainted again.
"It's nothing. If I want to be a writer, can I ask him to fill in some lyrics for me?"
Hao Yunhan said: "... Even if you are a writer, this is not what you do."
"No matter what," Lin Mengmeng, who patted his face, sat upright, cheered up again, and said energetically, "Anyway, I must be qualified to be a finalist!"
"Do you want to be a singer so much?"
"Well... on the one hand, after all, I have already praised you so much. It would be too embarrassing if I didn't even pass the audition. On the other hand... of course I can ask my idol to write songs for me. !hey-hey."
Looking at those eyes that turned into stars, Hao Yun felt dizzy.
It always feels like things are getting more and more troublesome.
or…
Or should we find a chance to make the final decision
But not now...
