Minglong Youth: Shared House with Cheng Yushan and Bian Xiaoxiao
Page 146
How could he not be angry!
But when he looked back at Zhou Chen’s script, Wang Qiang couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally burst out with a national essence, “This kid is a pervert!”
There’s no way he can write the script written by Zhou Chen!
Whether it is the character setting, the world view setting, or the plot, they are all original, which cannot be compared with his script that was pieced together from scratch.
With the end of this script competition, netizens online have been urging the filming of “Under One Person” to start.
After all, although Ever Night had only been filmed for two episodes before, the response was good and people were looking forward to seeing all of Zhou Chen’s scripts turned into film and television dramas so that they could enjoy watching them to their heart’s content.
However, Zhou Chen was too lazy to worry about these things. The copyright had been sold anyway, so he could just leave the rest of the work to professionals.
What he has to do now is to go shopping with Aunt Lu Qiao and his cheap brother-in-law.
Yes, the New Year is coming soon. Aunt Lu Qiao has come to Beijing with great difficulty, and she can’t just let her enjoy herself by herself all the time.
So Zhou Chen took Cheng Yushan’s family to visit the Forbidden City, the Old Summer Palace and the Summer Palace.
Lu Qiao was very happy to visit Beijing for the first time. She took a lot of photos while having fun. When she posted the photos to her Moments, they attracted many likes and comments from her friends and relatives.
“My little sister has made great progress. The capital city is indeed different.”
“Yushan and Zhouchen are so filial that they actually took you in.”
“Look at other people’s children. They have successful careers right after entering college. My children can only go home and rely on their parents!”
“I’m so envious! So envious!”
Before, Lu Qiao brought Cheng Yushan to Xingzhou alone, and basically cut off contact with her family. Although they had contact information, no one interacted with Lu Qiao, for fear that Lu Qiao would drag them down.
But now, seeing that Lu Qiao’s family was getting better and better, not only did her daughter get admitted to Qingbei University, but even her boyfriend became a famous screenwriter and writer in the country, so they all came to her.
As for the parents of Minglong Middle School, they were also envious.
They all graduated from Minglong Middle School. Look at Cheng Yushan, look at Zhou Chen, and then look at their own children. They have to go home during the winter vacation.
However, Lu Qiao was busy enjoying the scenery and had no time to pay attention to these comments.
She had worked hard all her life, but it was not until this moment that Lu Qiao felt the meaning of life.
“Heaven, are you Zhou Chen?”
However, when the family of four was enjoying the scenery on a boat in the Summer Palace, a poor Chinese voice suddenly came from the side.
When Zhou Chen heard someone calling him, he quickly turned his head and saw a foreign man with a high nose bridge, looking at him with wide eyes and a look of shock.
“Em, you’re?”
Zhou Chen was confused.
I thought to myself that I don’t have any foreign friends.
Cheng Yushan, Lu Qiao, and even Zhou Lixuan were also full of confusion.
“Oh my, my name is James, Zhou Chen, I’m your fan, the Battle Through the Heavens you wrote is so wonderful. I’m also reading Ever Night, but the updates are too slow!”
While he was stunned, he saw that the foreigner named James excitedly hugged Zhou Chen and even took out his cell phone to take a photo with Zhou Chen.
This scene left Lu Qiao and her son dumbfounded.
“Yushan, now even foreigners are reading Zhou Chen’s novels?”
Lu Qiao looked at Cheng Yushan in surprise.
She knew that Zhou Chen’s novels were very popular, but she didn’t expect them to be so popular that even foreigners were Zhou Chen’s fans.
But can foreigners understand the settings in Fights Break Sphere?
“Of course.”
Cheng Yushan said with a proud look on his face,
“Some time ago, the website signed a new contract with Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen’s book has been translated into English and can be read on foreign websites. I heard that he made a lot of money from his writing.”
Zhou Chen also told Cheng Yushan about this matter, but neither of them took it seriously.
After all, we don’t know what’s going on outside.
But I never expected that there are actually foreign netizens who like Zhou Chen’s Doupo, and their level of craze is no less than that of domestic netizens.
“You’ve made some progress!”
Seeing this scene, Lu Qiao nodded thoughtfully.
In the past few years, Chinese people have been crazy about foreign stars, and they are even willing to study abroad or immigrate directly.
But now, everything is reversed.
My son-in-law is really awesome.
The family came out of the Summer Palace, still feeling unsatisfied, but they were really too tired from walking.
Whether it is the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, or the Old Summer Palace, the areas are huge. Not to mention Lu Qiao, even young people like Zhou Chen and Cheng Yushan could hardly bear to walk through them all.
The family had no choice but to return to where they lived and lay down for three days before they recovered their strength.
However, New Year’s Eve has arrived.
Lu Qiao bought a lot of New Year’s goods from the nearby vegetable market early in the morning and started cooking in her rental house in Beijing.
Not only did he make Zhou Chen’s favorite braised pork, he also cooked a lot of authentic Hunan dishes.
So much so that at eight o’clock in the evening, when they turned on CCTV-1 and looked at the table full of Hunan cuisine, Zhou Chen and Cheng Yushan didn’t bother to enjoy the Spring Festival Gala. Instead, they sat on the stools and started to feast on the food.
“Mom, your cooking is so delicious! Happy New Year!”
“Yes, our Hunan cuisine is still very flavorful. The taste of home. Come on, cheers!”
Zhou Chen and Cheng Yushan ate happily and praised Lu Qiao’s cooking skills.
When I was at home, I always wanted to go out and see the wonderful world outside.
But when I really arrived in a foreign place, I could no longer taste the familiar flavors, and then I felt how beautiful my hometown was.
Chapter 232 Ultimate Challenge
Zhou Chen had a very fulfilling and happy New Year.
Although he was spending the New Year away from home, it didn’t matter to him as a time traveler where he spent the New Year.
The key is that during the Chinese New Year, you have your loved ones and a group of people who love you by your side.
However, compared to Zhou Chen, director Yi Yangmou and the actors in the “Ever Night” crew did not have this blessing.
Although it was the Chinese New Year, because the nonsense of Evernight was too high, and they had promised to update weekly, and filming also required good condition. So after discussing with the actors, Yi Yangmou decided to continue filming during the Chinese New Year.
There is no way. It is not easy to make money these days. It doesn’t matter to Yi Yangmou, but for these actors, it is extremely difficult to find a TV series that suits them and has already become a hit.
Now because of Ever Night, they have received a lot of attention, and even many crews have invited them to play roles. All of this was given to them by Ever Night.
So what about the New Year?
You have to film the movies you need to, otherwise how can you be worthy of the love of your fans?
So, Yi Yangmou led the crew of actors and continued their hard work in filming.
And when they uploaded the third and fourth episodes, as expected, they also received rave reviews.
“Wow, they keep updating during the Chinese New Year. This is really a surprise!”
“Haha, the Spring Festival Gala is boring anyway, I might as well watch Ever Night!”
“The director did a great job filming. Of course, our Mr. Zhou Chen also wrote the best script. It’s so wonderful!”
The Chinese New Year nowadays no longer has much of the festive atmosphere.
The Spring Festival Gala, which many people are looking forward to, has gone from being a highly anticipated event to a place where everyone comes together to find fault.
In fact, most people are too lazy to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Against this background, “Ever Night”, which was released during the Spring Festival, became an instant hit and was liked by more and more people.
And at the same time.
Director Jia Zhang is also busy selecting suitable actors.
That’s right, he has officially become the director of “Breaking the Ice”. Although Wang Song has been confirmed to play the leading role, the script still requires a lot of actors and even the cooperation of the police.
Seeing the huge success of Ever Night, director Jia Zhang was also extremely anxious.
If I could also shoot “Breaking the Ice”, it would definitely be a big hit.
Unfortunately, this realistic script puts a greater test on the actors’ acting skills, so he had to choose carefully.
The busy and lively Spring Festival passed quickly.
Zhou Chen took Lu Qiao and Zhou Lixuan to travel in Beijing for a while before sending Lu Qiao and her son on a train back to southern Hunan.
Although Cheng Yushan was reluctant, he knew there was nothing he could do about it.
Not to mention that Qingbei University is about to start school, Zhou Chen also has to participate in a script competition. Just at the Zhuangyuan BBQ restaurant in southern Hunan, many people are eagerly waiting for its opening.
Yes, the new year has just passed, and many netizens on Douyin have begun urging for updates to the script competition.
“When does the script competition start? Does anyone know?”
“Ever Night is good, but the updates are too slow. I want to see Zhou Chen write the script!”
“Yeah, yeah, when does the script contest start? I miss Zhou Chen!”
During the Chinese New Year, there was no update on the script competition for half a month, which made the netizens who liked it very anxious.
However, since it’s the New Year, they can understand it.
But now the new year is over, you have to update it, right?
Especially students, they are looking forward to watching another script competition during the school term.
Faced with such a huge amount of traffic, director Niu Yuntian was helpless and had to gather all the script competition crew and contestants to the shooting site.
For the new episode, assistant director Jiang Lan and the program team made further improvements after discussion.
For example, the first three episodes all draw one theme, but the next two episodes require the extraction of two keywords. Moreover, these two keywords may be antonyms to each other or may have nothing to do with each other, but the contestants must reflect these two keywords in their scripts.
Yes, the further you go in the game, the more difficult it becomes.
A script highlights two key words at the same time and has to be written very brilliantly. This not only tests the screenwriter’s ability, but also his luck!
In the semi-finals, the keywords Zhou Chen extracted were [inspiration] and [officialdom].
When these two keywords were drawn, netizens were all worried for Zhou Chen.
The words “inspirational” and “officialdom” seem to be very appropriate, and can even be integrated into one story, but it is extremely difficult to write a different story.
Moreover, officialdom articles are extremely difficult to write, as they involve many sensitive topics. Moreover, it would be difficult for an inexperienced person to handle this kind of subject matter.
However, under the curious gaze of everyone, Zhou Chen created “In the Name of People” from Qi Tongwei’s perspective.
Although this drama is an anti-corruption drama in the officialdom, many of its settings have profound connotations.
For example, Qi Tongwei.
Although he is a tragic character, he was born in a common family and climbed up step by step for his own future. Isn’t this an inspirational film in life?
But what about reality?
He tried very hard to transfer his job to his wife’s place, but it didn’t happen in the end.
Hou Liangping, who represents the positive characters, has a distinguished family background and a strong background. Even his wife is not a simple person. The reason why he was transferred to Beijing was just because he wanted to find a place close to home.
Yes, many people may struggle all their lives and still not be able to find a job in Beijing.
But Hou Liangping can do it easily.
This is undoubtedly a huge irony.
When Zhou Chen rewrote “The People’s Righteousness” according to his own ideas, he directly captured the audience with an unprecedented shock.
Even the famous screenwriter Gao Datang gave him full marks!
“I haven’t seen a drama like this in years. Qi Tongwei, who is half as good as the sky, and Zhao Dehan, who doesn’t spend a penny, these characters are so well-made!”
Gao Datang clapped his hands in admiration.
