The night in Harbin City is lively but cold. Wen Jinjiang is sitting in his rented room holding a teacup and drinking water slowly. He is not as energetic as the young people on the crew. After finishing work during the day, he has to go out to experience Harbin City at night.
night view.
In fact, it was quite early to finish the work today. Usually, sometimes the filming would freeze and it might take until midnight to finish the work. It also happened all night long.
Whenever he finished work relatively early, he would always return to his residence and take out the book "Ten Little Indian Boys" that he carried with him. He read this book more than ten times, and each time he would discover something new.
I originally thought that the whole story would only wow people with its clever reversal at the end, but actually if you look carefully, you will find that the details of the case are also in between the lines.
Some people think that a talented director like him, with so many years of experience, relies on sudden flashes of inspiration when making movies. In fact, they are wrong. Although he is famous, he has had countless movies.
Although he has successful experience, he will always be the one who works the hardest, even harder and more careful than when he made his first movie.
He told Zhang Zhong before that he should learn to be a screenwriter, but he didn't completely count on Zhang Zhong. The reason why he studied novels when he had nothing to do was because he wanted to finalize the script in his mind.
But tonight, he didn't have much time to spend on "Ten Little Indian Boys" because he found that Zhang Zhong had distributed another book.
Wen Jinjiang has basically read every one of Zhang Chong’s books. He has also read the following “Murder on the Orient Express” and “The Mysterious Case at Styles Manor”. They are both good books and can be adapted into good books.
It is a movie work, but Wen Jinjiang already has "Ten Little Indian Boys" in his hands, and he has little interest in adapting the other two books of the same type.
If he becomes a TV drama director in the future, he might consider making Poirot's story into a series. However, this possibility is relatively low, and he really can't make a TV series.
I originally thought that Zhang Zhong's new book would still be a detective novel, but after reading for a while, Wen Jinjiang discovered something different. This book seemed to be about espionage?
He had never heard of unit 701, but according to the book, it was an interception unit. In other words, their mission was not only interception, but also other tasks. In general, it was an espionage organization.
The book is not too long. It took Wen Jinjiang more than an hour to finish "The Listener of the Wind". However, after seeing the words "To be continued" at the end, he laughed again. It seemed that he was not finished yet.
Wen Jinjiang had never read any spy novels, and he didn't know if there were any similar special situation novels on the market, but this book gave him a very good feeling.
The blind man A Bing's ability amazed him, but his final ending made him a little sad. This is the story of A Bing, and it is also the story of a group of listeners.
"Perhaps, this book can also be adapted into a TV series."
Wen Jinjiang was a little moved. The reason why he was moved was not because he thought the story was more exciting than "Ten Little Indian Boys", but more because China has not yet had a relatively successful special love movie.
If he could make this novel into a movie, it might be the first of its kind.
Becoming the first person is a huge temptation. Even a long-established director like Wen Jinjiang cannot resist this temptation.
But being the first to eat a crab requires courage. Although the story is a good story, it does not mean that it will be a good movie and will be accepted by everyone.
More importantly, no one has successfully shot this kind of movie before. If he wanted to shoot it, he would have to start from scratch. No one could provide him with experience.
After pondering for a while, Wen Jinjiang decided to give up the idea.
However, he decided that he must obtain the film and television adaptation rights of this book. Even if he didn't make the film, he must let someone from Huayi do it.
…
There are many people who covet scripts like Wen Jinjiang, and Liu Yongqing is one of them.
After Liu Yongqing graduated from the acting department of Yanjing Film Academy ten years ago, he starred in several movies one after another, none of which were major roles.
And his own thoughts are not on acting. Although he studies acting, his dream has always been to become a director.
So when he is not filming, Liu Yongqing will think about writing his own scripts, because he believes that at some point he will become a director himself.
In addition to writing his own scripts, he also takes other people's works and adapts them into scripts. A few days ago, he edited "Murder in Loulan", "Jieyou Grocery Store", and "Murder on the Orient Express", but he couldn't do it no matter how he changed it.
Satisfied, but feeling a bit disappointed.
It seems that he is not suitable for these works, and he is a little unwilling to give up, so now he stares at the two authors Han Xun and Fifth Grade Vegetative Man every day. As long as they publish a work, he will read it as soon as possible, and then try to adapt it.
Tonight, he finally got to watch the fifth-grade vegetable's new work - Conspiracy.
Like most people, he thought it would be a detective novel, but after reading it, he found that the content of the book was completely different from what he had thought before.
This is a special love novel, about espionage, and Liu Yongqing has paid attention to it before.
There was a book called "Darkroom Code" that was specifically about espionage. However, the book was very short and used a lot of professional terms, but the story was very poor. It was not like a novel, but more like a popular science book.
.
And this book - he thought it was very good. Although he didn't have much professional knowledge and the rigor of the story needed to be scrutinized, the story was very exciting.
Novel is not a popular science reference book, the excitement of the story should be the first priority, so as a spy novel, this "The Conspiracy" is much better than the "Dark Room Code" he read before.
But what makes him regretful is that this book is not finished, and there should be others later.
Just when Liu Yongqing was thinking this, suddenly many more message notifications came on his phone. He clicked on it and saw that "The Conspiracy" had been updated again.
He looked again and saw that thirty-eight chapters had been updated all at once, while only fifteen chapters had been updated before.
Liu Yongqing looked at his watch. It was already eleven o'clock. He sighed. Alas, it seems that he won't be able to sleep before twelve o'clock tonight.
…
After Zhang Zhong wrote the large characters for about an hour, he posted the rest of "The Conspiracy" online.
After he finished posting, he went to bed. As for anyone who stayed up awake to read, he had nothing to do with that.
