Troubled Charlotte?

The name looks weird.

The second page has a synopsis of the movie. Although it is very short, it explains the general plot and background of the movie.

For a professional director like Yan Fei, if it is a bad movie, he can basically tell it by looking at the synopsis.

"The wedding of the former school beauty Qiu Ya is being held grandly. Xia Luo, who had a crush on Qiu Ya during her student days, came to attend the wedding. Seeing a group of classmates with successful careers, she felt sour in her heart. She made a drunken scene at the wedding and even angered his wife.

Ma Dongmei went crazy on the spot, but he fell asleep on the toilet after venting...

In his dream, he traveled back to school, pursued the girl he loved, made his disappointed mother smile again, and even became an all-powerful music superstar...

In the midst of life and death, he found that everyone around him was taking advantage of him, and only Ma Dongmei was the most cherished..."

There is not much content, so Yan Fei felt a little curious after reading it.

This plot is interesting!

A person who is dissatisfied with life returns to the past and chooses another path to pursue his life. In the end, he discovers that the person he was before is the most worth cherishing.

Yan Fei naturally thought of the recently popular topic on Zhihu: "If you were given a chance to come back again, what would you choose?"

This movie is exactly the answer to this question.

Except this.

Yan Fei also found a bright spot in the plot synopsis, that is, the name of the protagonist of this movie is interesting.

Dachun, Xialuo, Qiuya and Dongmei, together they are spring, summer, autumn and winter, as if they reflect one's life.

The core of this drama is "Only cherishing the people in front of you is the most important thing."

Yan Fei was already a little surprised.

After reading the introduction, Yan Fei began to read the main content of the script. He did not read it directly, but flipped through several pages.

When he discovered that the format of the script was very standard from beginning to end, Yan Fei raised his head and asked, "Did you really write this script yourself?"

"yes."

"Didn't you find a professional to help you change it?"

"No."

"Tsk." Yan Fei couldn't help but make a surprised sound. He now believed that Shao Yang knew something about movies.

Yan Fei had a correct attitude and started reading the text seriously.

Shaoyang writes very carefully.

Yan Fei also looked at it very carefully.

While silently reading the script lines in his mind, Yan Fei even had images of the movie in his mind.

A full half hour.

Yan Fei's psychological activities have undergone earth-shaking changes.

No matter the plot.

Or conflicts.

This script is impeccable.

What surprised Yan Fei the most was the lines.

It's simply wonderful.

From the beginning to the end, there are always laughs.

When Yan Fei read the synopsis, he thought that the movie would end up taking a very affectionate and sensational route like a comedy movie. Unexpectedly, even the sensational part also paved the way for a lot of laughter.

The most memorable laugh point for Yan Fei was an insignificant fragment in the script.

It was a conversation between Charlotte and a passerby downstairs of Ma Dongmei’s house after she was reborn as a superstar.

"Uncle, is Ma Dongmei's family living in room 322 upstairs?"

"What's the matter with horses?"

"Ma Dongmei."

"Nothing?"

"Ma Dongmei."

"What's wrong with the horse?"

"Okay, uncle, please cool down first."

"Okay."

This dialogue does not advance the entire plot in any way, but it can be filled with laughter. The person who wrote this script has a very professional understanding of comedy.

etc.

The person who wrote the script?

Isn't it the person who writes the script...

Yan Fei raised his head and looked at Shaoyang. His eyes changed from the arrogant and disdainful look in his eyes to shock and disbelief.

"Shao Yang, did you really write this script?"

"Well, I started writing it a long time ago. I revised it more than a dozen times. I typed every word on the keyboard."

Yan Fei's scalp was numb.

Is there really such a genius in this world?

The music lyrics are well written.

The lines of the movie are also well written.

this…

Yan Fei still found it unbelievable, but Shao Yang didn't give him a chance to think too much. Shao Yang said directly: "I plan to start shooting in early July. I have already selected some actors. I marked them on the last page. Except for the ones I have already selected,

In addition to good actors, I will leave the other supporting roles to Director Yan to help me find them. But after I find them, I will also audition them. Although this is my first time trying to make a movie, I hope that everything can be done well.

Do your best.”

"In addition to the actors, I will leave all the location selection, makeup and other matters to Director Yan to help me. You can send me your bank account and the crew's account in the next few days. The five million from the crew will be sent to me directly.

Call him. As for Director Yan’s money, I will send it in two installments, one is a deposit, and I will pay the second installment in one lump sum after the filming.”

"Director Yan thinks there is any problem, you can raise it with me now."

The active and passive relationship between the two people is directly reversed.

Yan Fei was stunned for a while, then nodded regretfully and said, "Okay, I'll prepare. There's still more than half a month until July, so there should be no problem."

"That's it for now. We'll contact you if anything happens later."

"Um."

Shaoyang got up and left the coffee shop.

Yan Fei glanced at Shao Yang's leaving figure, then looked at the script in his hand, and sighed with regret.

When a director makes a movie, there are two ways to get paid.

One is fixed remuneration.

Just like the price he quoted to Shaoyang on the phone, he bought it out at a fixed price.

The other is a share of the movie box office.

How much money a director can get depends entirely on the final box office of the movie.

Generally speaking, if the director is confident about the movie's box office, he will choose the latter.

Before Yan Fei met Shao Yang, or before reading the script, he had no high expectations for Shao Yang to make a movie, so he directly quoted a fixed price.

It's too late to regret now.

Yan Fei took a sip of coffee and comforted himself: "I have never done a comedy before, so this time I will just try it."

…

Shaoyang returned home just as it was almost time for dinner.

As soon as I got home, I saw Xue Jiajia and Xiao Yue'er busy in the kitchen, but today it was Xue Jiajia who was cooking with the spatula, and Xiao Yue'er was like a teacher, teaching Xue Jiajia when to put what seasonings and what.

It’s time to cook it.

The two of them were so engrossed that the range hood was whining and they didn't even notice that Shaoyang was back.

Shaoyang didn't care about them. It would be good for Xue Jiajia to learn how to cook. In the future, he wouldn't have to order takeout every time he wasn't at home.

When two people are together, love and romance are important, but the three meals a day and the ordinary life will take up more time...

"Brother, when did you come back?"
