There’s no way. They have lived for decades and have seen countless movies, but this is the first time they have seen this kind of writing.

It is not uncommon to write a drama with a villain as the protagonist, but this is the first time to see such an inspirational villain drama.

Everyone thought Zhou Chen was crazy.

This is a live variety show on CCTV. Aren’t you courting death by creating such a script on such a show?

“Teacher Gao, what do you think?”

On the mentor’s podium, Yi Yangmou turned his head to look at Gao Datang next to him and couldn’t help but ask.

To be honest, he roughly understood what Zhou Chen meant, but even as a director, he was a little hesitant to shoot this kind of film.

“The character development is quite good, but it’s a pity that the protagonist has taken the wrong path. I can’t comment on it now!”

Even the experienced screenwriter Gao Datang couldn’t help but secretly worry for Zhou Chen at this moment.

Zhou Chen played a little too big this time, and he was very curious about how Zhou Chen would make up for it in the end.

Assistant director Jiang Lan looked at Niu Yuntian again. Zhou Chen was becoming more and more sensitive as he wrote. If he continued to write, it might affect the broadcast of the program.

She already felt tremendous pressure.

“Don’t be afraid!”

Niu Yuntian took a deep breath.

“Don’t forget, the setting at the beginning, there are also policemen, and there will definitely be a reversal later!”

Yes, Niu Yuntian knows that Zhou Chen would not write casually, but grandpa, please turn it around quickly!

He has directed so many variety shows, and this is the first time he has done something so exciting that his heart can’t keep up.

Under the gaze of countless people, Zhou Chen continued to write in the room:

After Lin Yaodong returned to Tazhai, he quickly renovated his old house into a villa and became the richest man in the village. The villagers envied him for wearing gold and silver and driving luxury cars, and wanted to get rich with Lin Yaodong.

Even those uncles who had not been optimistic about him before came over one after another.

There is no other way. Tazhai Village is too poor and many young men cannot get married. If they could just drink some soup, they would be happy!

Against this background, Lin Yaodong established a factory to produce soldiers directly in Tazhai Village, and all the villagers had jobs at once.

He paid the villagers a high salary, which was even more cost-effective than working in the city. Moreover, he would provide some welfare to the village every year during the Spring Festival, such as repairing bridges and roads. In less than three years, Tazhai Village became the richest village in the surrounding area. Even many villagers who worked outside came back to help him build his business.

Of course. Lin Yaodong has principles. All villagers in Tazhai Village are not allowed to touch ice. Even the goods they produce are not sold to the mainland, but dumped abroad.

Well, Xia people don’t cheat Xia people, he just makes money from foreign countries.

As his business grew, he established many industries in Tazhai and even invested in many other industries in eastern Guangdong, gradually becoming a representative…

But there is no wall that is impenetrable. With the joint investigation of relevant departments, Tazhai has been targeted!

Seeing this, both the audience at the scene and the netizens in the live broadcast room didn’t know what to say for a moment.

You say that the protagonist is a villain, but he is quite patriotic. His words “Xia people do not cheat Xia people” and “the products are sold exclusively to overseas” make the audience feel inexplicably refreshed.

The many benefits that Lin Yaodong provides to the villagers of Tazhai Village are also what many people long for. If they can make money in the village, who would be willing to travel thousands of miles to work outside!

However, when they thought about the ice industry that Lin Yaodong was developing, many people fell silent again.

Yes, the character of Lin Yaodong has become very complicated after Zhou Chen’s handling of the situation. He has a mixture of good and evil, and is both good and evil. It makes people excited and worried about the protagonist.

Even the actor Wang Song, who was in the same room with Zhou Chen, was completely immersed in Zhou Chen’s story and couldn’t extricate himself.

He has taken on so many dramas, but this is the first time he has encountered such a complex yet extremely real character.

Even Wang Song began to fantasize about how he would interpret this role.

As time passed, Zhou Chen also introduced another male protagonist, Li Fei, from Lin Yaodong’s perspective. This male protagonist has a completely positive image.

By describing and portraying the experiences of two generations of jealous police officers, the worldview is also improved from another perspective.

In the end, when conflicts were inevitable between the black and white worlds, the audience felt extremely complicated when they saw that the villagers of Tazhai Village still followed Lin Yaodong loyally at the last moment.

Strange to say.

Lin Yaodong’s business empire collapsed, his positive image disintegrated, and the gangs behind him were destroyed one by one. But Zhou Chen described it from this perspective, and people found that they could not hate the character of Lin Yaodong at all. On the contrary, they felt a little sympathy and pity.

“Hey, if he takes the right path, he can also succeed.”

“Black is black. Getting rich this way will eventually lead to failure.”

“Don’t mention it. Although it can’t be called a traditional rural drama, Zhou Chen’s script is really wonderful.”

“It’s clearly a gangster film, but Zhou Chen turned it into a rural prosperity script, which is really amazing!”

When Zhou Chen finished writing the final ending, he naturally moved closer to the rural theme. For a moment, the height of the entire drama reached a new level.

The whole process was thrilling to the audience, and their emotions were constantly aroused, but after seeing the ending, they suddenly felt a sense of loss.

Until this moment, assistant director Jiang Lan and director Niu Yuntian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Good guy, at the last moment, Zhou Chen finally made it back.

Although the ending is tragic and complicated, the theme is still very positive, and this script… is very good!

“Okay, the three hours are up, contestants please stop writing!”

However, at this moment, the voice of the host Bingbing came from the stage.

Yes, the creative process always goes by very quickly. People are so immersed in it that they don’t realize that three hours have passed in a flash.

But even so, many people were still immersed in Zhou Chen’s story and couldn’t come out of it for a while.

Until the host Bingbing said,

“Dear contestants and guest actors, please move to the stage…”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone’s attention was focused on them.

Chapter 225 What is the Bidding Price?

As the host Bingbing finished speaking, all the actors, accompanied by their corresponding contestants, walked onto the stage.

The originally spacious stage suddenly became crowded.

“According to our competition rules!”

Bingbing smiled and said,

“In this episode, we will select the top 16 contestants from the 32 contestants. However, before the audience and mentors vote, I would like to ask the guests, do you have anything to say about your own screenwriters?”

Unlike the previous episode, this episode invited many celebrity actors.

These were all invited by Director Niu Yuntian with great difficulty, so naturally he had to let them speak, and at the same time, he also wanted to boost the popularity of these screenwriters.

As soon as the words fell, an actor stood up.

“To be honest, I’ve been an actor for so long and have met many screenwriters. We’ve also participated in readings, but this is the first time I’ve seen screenwriters writing a script in front of me. Needless to say, this feeling is very fresh and an unprecedented experience!”

“Yes, it was a great experience!”

Many actors nodded in agreement.

At first they found it boring, but when they thought that the script was created for them, they couldn’t help but immerse themselves in it. As a result, the more they read, the more exciting it became.

This kind of experience of watching live creation has never been experienced before!

Moreover, the screenwriters who made it to the 32nd place have some ability. Except for some contestants who were unlucky and drew overly unpopular topics, most of them are still good.

“I have something to say!”

Song Yafei, who transformed into an actor, also actively stood up and praised generously,

“I have always wanted to work with Director Wang Qiang, but I didn’t expect that we would work together in this way. I have to say something for our Director Wang here. This script is really wonderful. Really, I couldn’t help crying when I read it. I am here to canvass for Director Wang, and I also hope that I can be included in this drama!”

Song Yafei understands variety shows.

She was originally a mentor, but now she has participated in the writing of Wang Qiang’s script. Naturally, she wants to boost Wang Qiang’s popularity.

Moreover, if this drama can really be made into a film or TV series, it will be a good story in the circle.

The host Bingbing smiled politely and then handed the microphone to veteran actor Wang Song.

“Teacher Wang, I’m actually very curious about what you think of Zhou Chen’s script.”

This is probably a question that netizens at the scene and in the live broadcast room all want to know.

Because today the focus of the whole audience is on Zhou Chen.

And Zhou Chen did not disappoint them. He took a different approach based on such an old-fashioned rural theme and created such a thrilling script.

I have to say that Zhou Chen is really good at creation!

“Can I… tell the truth?”

Being stared at by countless people, Wang Song’s mouth twitched and a helpless smile appeared on his face.

“Of course!”

The host Bingbing was stunned and smiled.

“To be honest, I broke out in a cold sweat!”

Wang Song gave a wry smile.

“At first I thought it was quite normal, and thought it was a serious drama about getting rich. But I didn’t expect Zhou Chen to make Lin Yaodong an illegal person who made his living by smuggling and selling ice. Really, I was shocked when I saw it!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room was flying.

“Teacher Wang, we were also shocked when we saw it!”

“Teacher Wang is a very honest person. Most people can’t stand such writing!”

“I just saw it. The assistant director and the director were both so scared that they were sweating profusely!”

Standing on the stage, Wang Qiang, who was originally very proud of himself, thought that he had secured the first place this time and that no one was more suitable to be the first place than himself.

But as soon as Wang Song finished speaking, just from the reaction on the scene, Wang Qiang had a very bad feeling.

Isn’t Zhou Chen writing about rural themes?

Why did it cause such a big response?

Moreover, why would a veteran actor like Wang Song be so startled?

Countless question marks suddenly emerged in Wang Qiang’s mind.

At this moment, the host Bingbing spoke with a smile,

“That’s great, because Teacher Song has joined the show. So, the evaluation of the mentor group this time will be done by Yi Yangmou and Gao Datang. From now on, the audience and netizens can vote!”

“We will select the top 16 works based on the final comprehensive scores!”

As soon as the words fell, the audience stood up and prepared to vote.

On the Internet, netizens in the live broadcast room also turned on the voting function.

With the experience of the first time, voting for the second episode went particularly smoothly.

After a while, the voting results came out.

Zhou Chen’s “Breaking the Ice” ranked first with a score of 9.5, unsurprisingly!

Wang Qiang’s “Cage” also ranked second with a score of 8.8.

The contestant who wrote “Snowy Night Chase” also performed well, but ranked third.

After a fierce competition, sixteen unlucky contestants had to leave the stage regretfully.

For a moment, only the top sixteen contestants and their invited guests were left on the stage.

Next comes the final and most anticipated part, where the investment group will bid on the spot for the 16 scripts that advance.

Once the bid is successful, the script will be quickly put into the filming phase.

However, netizens are obviously not very interested in other scripts.

Everyone was curious about what price Zhou Chen, who was auctioned for more than 10 million yuan in the first episode, would fetch in the second episode.

So much so that even for Wang Qiang, with the participation of a heavyweight actor like Song Yafei, and the final bidding price reaching three million, it did not cause much splash.

“Okay, now, please invite our investment team to bid on Teacher Zhou Chen’s “Breaking the Ice”!”
