On the second day after Yang Qi returned to Qingzhou, Old Qin finally came back from the imperial capital. After this period of sparring and communication with the man in Taoist robes, Old Qin's practical experience had improved significantly, and his cultivation had reached the late stage of Dark Power, making him the one with the highest cultivation among Yang Qi's disciples.
Such a speed of cultivation is not much slower than that of Yang Qi who inherited the legacy of Emperor Haoyang.
Liu Qian also returned to Qingzhou at this time, but she was accompanied by a pile of documents, which together were probably about 30 to 40 centimeters high.
"What are these?"
Looking at the documents Liu Qian was holding, Yang Qi couldn't help but wonder.
"script."
Liu Qian put down the documents in her hand and spoke.
script
Yang Qi was stunned, then he looked at these files. There were as many as twenty or thirty of them, which means there were twenty or thirty scripts in this pile of files.
"so much?"
Yang Qi said in surprise. He knew that Liu Xi was busy with the last step of the movie recently, but he didn't know that Liu Xi had prepared so many scripts.
"This is after a preliminary screening." Liu Qian smiled bitterly and continued, "There were more than a hundred scripts before. After Sister Wang and I screened them, the remaining 28 scripts are more in line with my image, but we still need to choose one from them."
More than a hundred
Yang Qi secretly smacked his lips in amazement. Although Liu Qian could easily read ten lines at a glance after practicing, there were probably millions of words in so many scripts, and it was not an easy task to carefully select them.
"Why are there suddenly so many scripts?" Yang Qi frowned. Although Liu Xi announced that she would completely quit the entertainment industry after filming one more movie, it shouldn't be enough to attract so many scripts, right
"It's Wang Baiyi from Shanghai. He's willing to invest 500 million US dollars, plus other investments. Even though the movie hasn't been confirmed yet, there's already been 1 billion US dollars invested." Liu Qian said with a wry smile, "Now it's spread in the circle. Actors, screenwriters, and photographers are all eyeing this movie. The scripts I have in my hands are all written by some very famous screenwriters, based on the information I leaked before."
I see!
After hearing Liu Xi's explanation, Yang Qi immediately understood that a billion-dollar investment was definitely the first in the global entertainment industry. There were naturally many people interested in this movie. Once involved in this movie, fame and fortune would naturally follow. No wonder Liu Xi was so busy during this period.
"So what script did you like?"
Yang Qi asked curiously, among hundreds of scripts, there must be some that suit Liu Xi's taste, but he didn't know if Liu Xi had confirmed the script yet.
"There are a few good scripts. One is about the Conferred Gods, with Nuwa's perspective as the main line, which is quite thoughtful. Another one is about the Empress of the Tang Dynasty..." Liu Qian said.
"The Queen?"
Yang Qi was stunned, and said with a smile, "You are not going to play the role of the queen, are you?"
Liu Xi's current screen image is mostly of purity and goddess. Liu Xi has also played the image of Nuwa, which is more suitable for her. However, the role of the Queen is so domineering, which is totally inconsistent with Liu Xi's temperament.
"Of course not." Liu Qian rolled her eyes at Yang Qi and continued, "My character is Wan'er."
Wan'er
Yang Qi was stunned and nodded slightly. Wan'er is a close minister of the Queen and a rather complicated character. Liu Qian's performance would be a test of her acting skills, but she is suitable for the role.
"Another one is adapted from a novel by a popular online writer. I play the role of a female warrior in it. However, the novel is too long, so it is quite difficult to adapt. Moreover, it has to be made into a movie, and current technology also poses considerable problems." Liu Qian sighed.
Female warrior
Yang Qi looked at Liu Xi in some surprise, but thinking that Liu Xi had played a female knight before and had even embarked on the path of spiritual practice, it was not difficult for her to play the role of a female martial saint.
However, online novels are often quite long, and it is not easy to adapt them. The most important issues are the technology and the audience, so it is quite difficult to adapt them.
"There is another good one, which is a story based on Chen Yuanyuan from the late Ming Dynasty." Liu Qian said.
Chen Yuanyuan!
The corner of Yang Qi's mouth twitched. In order to satisfy Liu Qian's story about China, these screenwriters really dared to think of anything. Even a character like Chen Yuanyuan came into being.
After all, Liu Xi must play the protagonist, and there are not many stories from the perspective of the female protagonist. If you want to find a suitable one, you can only try some adaptations or look for inspiration on the Internet.
Liu Qian told six or seven stories in one breath, all of which were from the perspective of the heroine, ranging from mythology to reality, from ancient times to the present, and even from future science fiction. What made Yang Qi speechless was that the Hollywood screenwriter in the United States deliberately listed a Chinese hero among the superheroes separately, and even wrote a script based on the story of his growth in China. Yang Qi had to admire the active thinking of the Hollywood screenwriter.
"These scripts are all pretty good. Some test your acting skills, some involve big action scenes, and some are very suitable for your previous screen image." Yang Qi nodded and said, "Which one do you like better?"
"These scripts are all good, but I always feel that something is missing and I'm not very satisfied with them." Liu Qian frowned.
There were more than one hundred scripts, and after her selection, only twenty-eight were left. She made detailed divisions of these twenty-eight scripts, but still could not find a script that made her 100% satisfied.
"Nothing you're satisfied with?" Yang Qi was stunned.
He thought that Liu Xi had said so much because she was still unsure which one to shoot. After all, Liu Xi only planned to shoot one movie now. What he didn't expect was that Liu Xi was not undecided which one to shoot, but was not very satisfied with any of the scripts.
Yang Qi thought for a moment and said, "I have two stories here, maybe you can try them."
"you?"
Liu Qian looked at Yang Qi in surprise. Screenwriting is a very professional job, but Yang Qi has never been involved in the film and television industry, so he should not understand these things.
“Although I’m not a professional screenwriter, I have been to Zichen Continent after all. There are many strange stories there. I believe these things do not exist on Earth.” Yang Qi chuckled.
Um
Hearing this, Liu Qian's eyes lit up. Indeed, although Yang Qi was not a professional screenwriter, his vision was unmatched by those professional screenwriters. If the story of Zichen Continent was used as a blueprint, combined with the adaptation of the screenwriters on Earth, it might be a good idea.
Thinking of this, Liu Qian hurriedly urged Yang Qi to tell the story in his mouth. Yang Qi did not keep her in suspense and told the story that he had already prepared in his mind. This story was based on Feng Yan. If the story of a powerful warrior in the King of Martial Arts was spread, it would definitely be a strange story in Zichen Continent. (To be continued)
