Talk About The Case (GL) - Chapter 78

At night, five people sat in the wing of a high-end restaurant. The box was closed tightly, and the smell of smoke was pungent, floating above everyone’s heads, mixed with the voices of a few people, and it took a long time to disperse.

A young man sitting in the first seat had a neat suit and didn’t feel a bit disgusted with the smell of smoke scattered in the wing. He was already used to this kind of scene. The wine on the wine table was overflowing, and everyone was talking and drinking while smoking. One of the older men kept pouring him wine.

“Director Zhao, we are deeply honored to be able to invite you over this time. Come here and toast you a glass!” It was Fu Boxiu, an older man who poured wine for young men.

The man called Director Zhao raised his glass and took a sip, his handsome face showed a hint of smile, and said: “Director Fu, I happened to be in Yangshi this time, and I happened to meet you here again. It would be rude if it didn’t come.”

The tone is extremely polite.

Fu Boxiu laughed loudly. He was very satisfied with his politeness, and said: “What did Zhao Dong say? You have already given me the most face when you come here. You will also give us a lot of money for the movie that is about to start this time. Here I am. Say thanks to you!” As he said, he raised his glass and drank it.

Fu Boxiu then turned to the two young men and women sitting beside him and said, “Cheng Yuan and Hu Ju, you guys also come and give Zhao Dongjing a glass.”

Cheng Yuan and Hu Ju both stood up and toasted Director Zhao. After the three of them drank, they sat down again.

Fu Boxiu pointed to the two of them and said, “Zhao Dong, these two rising stars are the leading actor and actress in my movie. They came to Yang City this time because the film is about to start. Now that Zhao Dong is here, I’ll let them come and see you by the way.”

Zhao Dong smiled, and said, “Director Fu has a good vision of choosing people. Mr. Cheng and Ms. Hu have always been admired by me. Speaking of them, I have also seen some of their movies. They are very promising actors among the younger generations. NS.”

As a result, three people were given high hats. Fu Boxiu admired Zhao Dong very much. Although he was young and rich, he was not arrogant.

Fu Boxiu is a very well-known director in the film industry. Although the films he directed are not many, they are extremely high-quality. Although not all films are directed for awards, the films he directed always hit new box office highs and shots. The technique is in line with modern tastes.

Director Zhao looked at another woman sitting on his right hand. This woman looked very young, less than thirty years old at most, but calm and heavy. From now on, she sits besides toasting herself with a glass of wine. Quietly aside.

Fu Boxiu saw him staring at the woman and said with a smile: “Dong Zhao, Miss Ye Quanye is relatively quiet. This time I came here because I wanted to meet Yang Liqing tonight. After the two sides negotiated everything, they could Make an adaptation for the movie.”

Zhao Dong nodded lightly. He knew that in general, the temper of a writer or artist would always be a little weird, so he laughed at Ye Quan’s taciturn.

Several people were talking and laughing in the box, and occasionally walked out of the box to go to the bathroom. They didn’t want to leave the restaurant so quickly because they were waiting for someone to arrive.

At this time, the door was opened a bit, and a bodyguard came in and whispered in Zhao Dong’s ear: “Mr. Zhao, a lady calling herself Yang Liqing has arrived.” Then he raised his hand and stuffed the business card into Zhao Dong. Hands.

Zhao Dong glanced at the business card in his hand. It was exactly what he was familiar with. He nodded to the bodyguard, and the bodyguard went out again.

After a while, the door of the box room was opened again, and a woman approaching forty years old walked in. As soon as Zhao Dong saw her, she got up and walked forward, with a somewhat affectionate expression: “Yang… Teacher Yang, Please here.” A childish smile appeared on his face.

Yang Liqing looked up at Zhao Dong, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and then followed him to a seat and sat down.

She sat next to Ye Quan. When the latter saw it was her, a strange brilliance flashed in her eyes, which was never seen before. Ye Quan’s eyes on Yang Liqing could not be removed for a long time, until Yang Liqing turned her head to meet her eyes and smiled at her, she hurriedly lowered her head, her small heart was already beating.

Yang Liqing is her idol, and when she comes into close contact with her, Ye Quan feels a little flustered, but he feels a little bit more happy than he is flustered.

The film that Ye Quan is going to adapt this time is Yang Liqing’s newly published “Dark Night”. They should keep in touch with each other in the future, which makes her not excited.

Yang Liqing is very famous. Everyone here knows that she is a genius writer who has written a lot of suspense novels. What is even rarer is that as a woman, she can perfectly write novels that even men are astonished. .

A woman’s mind is originally delicate, and this delicateness is shown in her novels. It can be described as perfect to make it impossible to find any flaws, and it is very different from the carelessness of men.

Moreover, the suspense novels written by Yang Liqing do not blindly use violent and cruel methods to outline one story after another, but focus on the psychology of criminals, which is why she can attract a large number of female readers.

The reason why Yang Liqing became popular abroad is because there are several classics in her works. Readers who love suspense novels will know her classics.

After everyone exchanged a few words, Fu Boxiu led the conversation to the topic.

He said straightforwardly: “Mr. Yang, we have discussed the work of “Dark Night” a few days ago, and you have also seen our revised script, and you agreed to let me make it into a movie, but when I watch it again After finishing your work, I feel that the ending part must be changed.”

Yang Liqing took a sip of wine and said, “Director Fu, what changes do you want to make? If it doesn’t affect the plot, I still agree.”

Fu Boxiu laughed and said, “We want to change the ending into a comedy.”

“No.” Yang Liqing refused without even thinking about it.

Fu Boxiu did not expect that she refused so thoroughly, her old face blushed, and her face was a little frustrating. He thought for a while and said again: “Teacher Yang, for your novel, I feel that the ending is a bit inconsistent with the audience’s taste. Even some readers who have read your “Dark Night” not long ago are mostly unsatisfied. So, I want to change the movie into a comedy, which is good for everyone. Those who want to see the tragic ending, they can continue to read your novel, and those who want to see a comedy can watch my movie.”

“Director Fu, what you do is good for you, but nothing for me. I hope you can respect the original work, and we have cooperated more than once. You know that as long as it is a proposal to make changes to the plot, I will never Promise. It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.” Yang Liqing said decisively.

Ye Quan, who was sitting next to her, took a peek at her, and saw that there was an irresistible expression in her eyes, and once again respected her in his heart.

For a writer, the most dangerous thing is that someone tampered with his own work without authorization, and then regarded it as his own work. As the rewriter of the movie, Ye Quan naturally disliked this happening to him, so he didn’t make a sound for his boss.

And Cheng Yuan and Hu Ju, who are sitting next to Fu Boxiu, are just actors. They just followed the director’s instructions and filmed in accordance with the plot. Based on whether the ending should be changed, they didn’t have a particularly big impression. It won’t cause any impact, so I just sit aside and remain silent.

Seeing that there was no room for discussion with Yang Liqing, Fu Boxiu was secretly unhappy, but this was a novel by someone after all. He was just adapting it to start shooting, so he had to calm down for the time being.

He immediately turned to look at Director Zhao who was sitting in the first seat, and threw the question to him: “Dong Zhao, what do you think?”

Director Zhao knows that tonight we talked about this point, and it will not end well for both parties. It is very likely that the filming will be cancelled due to the inability to negotiate today. This is a great loss for a businessman. After all, he has already invested in this movie, and the equipment and so on are already ready. If announcing the cessation of the auction, the reputation of the company will also decline after removing the financial losses.

He is familiar with Yang Liqing’s personality, and before he came here, he had thought of several situations he would face tonight. So he opened his mouth and said: “Everyone, please stay calm. I have a suggestion. You can advise whether it is feasible.”

“Dong Zhao, please tell me.” When Fu Boxiu saw him giving himself a step down, he followed his words.

Zhao Dong smiled slightly and said: “Director Fu wants to change the ending into a comedy, and then strive to set another box office record. This is a good thing for me. After all, I am a businessman, so it is my fundamental intention to seek benefits. , And Director Fu is a new attempt, able to take her own career to the next level. However, Ms. Yang wants to retain the originality of the work, so I think it’s better than this. The director can make two in the film. One kind of ending, one is a comedy, and the other is following the original, which is a tragedy. In this case, viewers who like to watch comedy can choose the movie with a comedy ending, while those who are loyal to the original can choose the movie with tragedy. Look. In this way, it can be regarded as a balance for both parties. What do you think?”

After Yang Liqing and Fu Boxiu listened to his advice, they both paused. For a long time, Fu Bo Xiu said, “Well, I can take Zhao Dong’s opinion.” After he finished speaking, he looked at Yang Liqing and waited for her decision.

Director Fu was able to agree with this suggestion, which was already the biggest concession for a senior director.

Yang Liqing thought for a while and felt that Zhao Dong’s suggestion was also feasible, as long as it did not destroy the plot of his original story, and said: “Well, Zhao Dong’s opinion is the best of both worlds for us, I agree.”

After the matter was negotiated, everyone finally smiled again, and the negotiations on the wine table changed from serious to relaxed, with laughter resounding in the box.

It was until eleven o’clock in the evening that everyone went back. Before leaving, Ye Quan came to Yang Liqing and said in a low voice: “Yang… Teacher Yang, I would like to ask you for your advice on the improvement of the script.”

Yang Liqing looked at the woman in front of her. This was the first time she had met her, but she felt that the little girl’s eyes were clear, very different from the eyes of other people just now. It was a true admiration and love for a person.

“Okay, let’s leave the contact information.” Yang Liqing said with her lips curled.

Ye Quan nodded, and the excitement was beyond words, and both of them added each other’s WeChat.

Yang Liqing watched Ye Quan turn and leave, the smile that evoked from the corner of her mouth lasted for a long time, and Director Zhao came to her next to her and said: “Sister Yang, I am very happy to see you again.”

Yang Liqing put aside her smile and said to Director Zhao: “Jiajun, are your parents well? I haven’t seen them for a long time? Where is your sister Jiajing? Are you still painting? Is your brother Jiaren still still there? Showbiz?”

Zhao Jiajun nodded and said, “Well, my parents are well. My sister says I want to see you all day long. My brother that guy has quit the showbiz and is helping me now. In Yang City, just follow me back to my hometown? Anyway, my hometown is not far from Yang City, so I can meet the two elders by the way.”

“Well, then I will bother Director Zhao to take me around these two days.” Yang Liqing smiled.

“Sister Yang, don’t call me that. But compared to me, I think my sister wants to receive you more, haha.” Zhao Jiajun said with a smile.

The two talked without a word, and left the restaurant together.
