September 5th, 8 am

The small square in front of the Fahai Temple located on Xiazhuang Street in the island city is crowded with people. Standing on the steps and looking around, there must be at least four to five thousand people.

Perhaps out of fear of trouble, the local government even sent forty or fifty police officers to maintain order.

Standing within the security cordon, Zhao Yanzi, wearing a black professional suit, was a little disappointed. She originally thought that people from these small places who had never seen the world would beat their chests and shout like they did in previous years when they saw her:

Swallow, little Swallow, I love you so much!

Yanzi, you are so beautiful, Yanzi!

Yanzi, why are you more beautiful than the beauties in our island city?

…

But, no!

The jokes passed down were basically:

"Huang Xiaoming, play a good role and give the people of our island city a voice. I heard that Bai Xue is so popular now that even Japanese and Korean movies want to invite her to star. And next, it will be your turn and

Huang Bo!"

"Thank you, thank you uncle. Following your good advice, I will definitely follow Director Sun Hao and perform well."

"Huang Bo, Huang Bo, I heard that you are the male lead in this movie?"

"Haha, yes, thanks to the kindness of Director Ning and the director, they plan to let me try the role of the male lead in "Crazy Racing"."

"Huang Bo, I saw Sun Hao yesterday. He led a fat man to Xihuangbu Funeral Home. Do you know why you are going?"

"It seems that the director went to experience life. But if you want to be more specific, I don't seem to know."

"Ah, Sun Hao actually wants to go to a funeral parlor to experience life?"

…

After listening patiently to their conversation, Zhao Yanzi tidied up her women's uniform, and then walked towards the director Ning Hao.

"Director Ning..."

"Um?"

Ning Hao, who was discussing with cinematographer Du Jie whether he should use a long shot plus a close shot or a medium shot plus a close shot for the first scene, heard Zhao Yanzi's voice and responded without looking back.

"Director Ning, the filming of the first scene will start soon. As an actor, I haven't received the movie script until now. This seems a bit unreasonable."

"Oh..., so that's what you're asking?" Ning Hao freed up his hand, turned around and smiled, then raised his hand to greet a fat man with pancakes in his mouth to come over.

"When I was old..."

"Um?"

"Where's the director?"

"Just now, President Han from China Film and Television and President Yu from Bona Pictures suddenly came from the capital. At the moment, they are chatting in the temple."

"Oh..., what about your movie script?"

"Where is it?"

The fat man seemed a little arrogant and pointed at his head with his fat finger holding the big cake.

"Well..., good!"

Ning Hao seemed not to be surprised by this. There was no way around it. There were many strange people around Sun Hao, especially the one in front of him. After seeing him so many times, it seemed that this guy had never broken anything in his mouth.

"Lao Shi, please recite the lines and plot of the scene we are about to shoot to Teacher Zhao Yanzi. Oh, by the way, you are only allowed to recite it once. This is the director's special order."

"Uh..., no." Zhao Yanzi became anxious.

Isn't this playing tricks on people?

When it comes to acting, it's okay if you don't give a movie script. You can tolerate asking others to recite it to you, but what the hell is going on if you only ask him to recite it once?

Reaching out to grab Ning Hao, Zhao Yanzi wanted to talk to him about the matter, but Ning Hao pointed at the fat man next to him.

Damn...

The fat guy here has already started!

"A female staff member was holding several house plans and was stammering to introduce to Geng Hao: We have several house types here, several types, um... there are all house plans... you can see which one you need.

?

Dacheng came over with a mobile phone, grabbed the house plans, and pulled out one: a noble community, with good features and water, with an average price of only 30,000. It is worth keeping for a lifetime.

Dacheng said with a smile and winked at the female staff: Service-minded, make coffee.

The female clerk hurriedly put down her notebook and walked away to make coffee.

…”

At first, she was a little angry, but as she looked at him, Zhao Yanzi became frightened. Damn it, who is this fat boy in front of her?

He was actually playing three characters at the same time, the female staff member, Dacheng, and Geng Hao, and his expression, tone, feeling, and movements were all just right.

……………

Inside Fahai Temple

Compared with the small square outside the door, it is like a different world. It is noisy and lively outside, but it is extremely quiet inside. If you listen carefully, you can also hear the chanting of the monks in the Main Hall.

In front of the Main Hall, there are two ginkgo trees. The one on the west side was replanted later, while the one on the east side has a history of 1,600 years.

Han Shanye, Yu Dong, and Sun Hao were sitting under the ginkgo tree, chatting about business.

"Sun Hao..."

"Um?"

"When will "Crazy Racing" be completed?" Han Shanye asked.

"I'm afraid it will take two and a half to three months.

But as for my scene, it should be very fast. Ning Hao made an estimate and divided it into three shootings, which will take about 20 days in total." Sun Hao answered.

"Then do you have any other work arrangements next?" Yu Dong asked.

"Don't you all know?" Sun Hao asked.

"Teaching in school, filming "Crazy Racing", and supervising the production of the TV series "Insidious", this is probably the work content in the second half of this year.

As for next year?

During the Spring Festival, I will take my classmates to shoot a suspense movie, and then from March to September, I will travel back and forth between Hollywood and the island city in the United States to shoot the Hollywood movie "Batman Trilogy"

."

"What about the 8-minute performance at the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics in August?" Han Shanye asked again.

"We are already preparing now, this is nothing." Sun Hao shrugged, his tone relaxed.

"However, Mr. Han and Mr. Yu, you suddenly flew over from the capital to find me. It seems that you have some other urgent matters, right?"

"have!"

"explain."

"Sun Hao, before I talk, let me show you something first." Yu Dong smiled and took out a thick stack of A4 paper from his bag.

[Advanced Workshop for Film Screenwriters in Qujiang, Chang'an]

Sun Hao was a little confused when he saw the title of the document.

What does it mean?

Should I ask my buddy to attend a screenwriting training class?

But before the words came out of his mouth, Yu Dong motioned for him to look down again.

Specially invited famous American director, screenwriter, actor, producer Quentin Tarantino...]

To be honest, reading this kind of document gave Sun Hao a little headache. He glanced at two pages and handed back the thick stack of A4 paper.

"Mr. Han, Brother Dong, tell me, what do you mean?"

"It's very simple, one sentence!

Our country is going to hold a training class for film screenwriters, and we are going to invite the genius Hollywood director and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino to give you live lessons. But this guy called China Film Group back last night and said that it was just a dry lecture that was boring. , how about I have a one-on-one challenge with Sun Hao from your country at the film screenwriter training class?"

puff…

Damn it!

This old hooligan.
