Chapter 159 How about finishing the script overnight?
It’s impossible to write a whole script in five hours.

Copying it won't work, not to mention that Shen Lang has to "guide and persuade" the boss to come up with the script himself?
"Now the main framework of the script is basically complete, but there are still some details that need to be worked out, and the character setting also requires everyone's brainstorming! Our first draft has been submitted! If it is approved, we will start shooting immediately and work out the details while shooting!"

“Although Penguin has strong capital behind it, it has just entered the film industry and doesn’t know what the standards are for script approval!”

"You're a wealthy dog ​​owner, so you won't be so strict. Besides, who wouldn't want to get our script if we gave it to them?"

Just as everyone was discussing the script, Shen Lang's cell phone rang.

"Who is it?" Gu Jialan asked casually.

Shen Lang secretly laughed in his heart. The boss was very arrogant. He put the phone screen in front of the boss without any hesitation: "Here, take a look for yourself!"

"I don't want to see you... Shen Ze? Your cousin? Why is he calling you so late?"

As soon as the call was connected, a woman's angry roar came from the other end.

The person who was talking was not Shen Ze. After Shen Lang listened carefully, he found that the angry woman on the other end of the phone was actually his aunt.

"Shen Lang, you must give our Shen Ze an explanation. Why don't you act in Hero? Do you know that Zhang Weiping, the producer of Hero, is the head of Shen Ze's department? Did you do this on purpose?"

The noise from the other side was so loud that not only did it hurt Shen Lang's ears, but even Peng Mo and others in the room stopped discussing and looked at Shen Lang.

Shen Lang scratched his ears and asked, "Aunt, what are you saying? Why don't I understand?"

Shen Ze's mother on the other side asked loudly, "Let me ask you, has a man named Zhang Weiping approached you to film Hero recently?"

Shen Lang turned and looked at the boss beside him.

Gu Jialan nodded at him and confirmed this.

Seeing so many outsiders present, Shen Lang patiently explained, "Aunt, there is indeed a man named Zhang Weiping who wants to film with me. What's the matter?"

"What's wrong? Did you know that the play 'Hero' was invested by your brother's company?"

"I do not know!"

"Do you know that Zhang Weiping is your brother's leader?"

"I do not know!"

"Shen Lang, don't pretend with me. Do you know that because you rejected the invitation from Imperial Capital Culture, your brother has been fired?"

"I do not know!"

"Shen Lang, don't be so rude to me. I'll let your uncle talk to you!"

"Hello!" Shen Qi's voice came from the other end of the phone, "San'er! I'm your elder, there are some things I shouldn't say, but for your brother's sake, you shouldn't reject the director! Ah! Right! Right?"

Haha, my uncle is used to being a middle-level leader in a state-owned enterprise, so he speaks in a hmm/ah manner.

"Yes, yes, uncle, you are right. But I heard from Shen Ze that he is doing well in the company and many big productions want to invite him! What's the matter? Just because I don't act in the movie invested by their company, their company dismissed such an important person?"

Shen Qi: “…”

"Also, is Shen Ze eight years old? When he encounters problems, does he need his parents to come forward to solve them? He just disappears on his own?"

"you……"

"That's all. I'm busy! Bye! Also, in the future, even if it's a relative, when you ask them to do something for you, don't act like you owe me, okay, uncle~~~ aunt~~~~"

"Oh, Shen Lang, that's not what I meant. We are family and we don't have different opinions. We don't treat you as an outsider..."

"That's great. I owe tens of millions to the bank. Can you lend me some for an emergency?"

"Dudududu!"

Shen Lang looked at his phone and was so angry that he laughed!

The best relative, the best someone, Zhang Weiping.

"Hero was invested by Didu Culture?" Shen Lang turned to look at Gu Jialan.

Gu Jialan nodded: "Didu Culture is the largest investor!"

Good!

It's a pretty despicable move, but you should at least understand my, Shen Lang's, family situation before you take action, right?
You fired Shen Ze. What if this guy learned his lesson, turned over a new leaf and reached the peak of his life? How... miserable I would be!

However, according to the nature of my uncle's family...

Shen Lang looked at the phone and counted in front of everyone: "Three, two, one..." "Ding-ling-ling!"

"Hello, Mom. Yes, I just called. It's okay. I don't take it seriously. I know everyone in their family. Okay, okay! Take care of yourself. The babysitter and the caregiver are already living at home, right? Okay! Hang up!"

"Jingle Bell!"

"Aunt, did your sister-in-law call you? No, she's not angry. Um, she's preparing for a new play. That's all right!"

After hanging up the phone, Peng Mo and others asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

Shen Lang shrugged: "What could be the matter?"

Peng Mo sighed: "I didn't expect that a big company like Didu Culture would be so despicable!"

"If we can release the film together with Imperial Capital Media and beat Hero at the box office, I wonder how humiliated Zhang Weiping will be!"

"No chance, the script for Hero is already ready, it's hard for us to catch up!"

"I'm just saying it!"

……

Just then, Peng Mo's phone rang.

"Yes, it's me! Really? That's great! Thank you, thank you! The crew will be up and running tomorrow! OK, OK, keep in touch!"

After Peng Mo hung up the phone, he said excitedly: "The script is fine!"

"What? So fast?"

“Oh my god, this is efficient!”

Peng Mo grabbed Shen Lang's hand and said, "Brother Lang, it has to be you... and sister-in-law. The script was written, and the details haven't been filled in yet, but it's already been approved!"

"The Penguin people said that their top management is very satisfied with this script. They invested in three plays during the same period, and only our script was approved in the first draft! The money will be received tonight, which means we can start tomorrow!"

Shen Lang was numb. Is that enough?

But on second thought, there's nothing wrong with it. "Charlotte's Troubles" scored 9.5 on Douban that year.

This kind of high-scoring masterpiece is full of killing everywhere!
"Let's start arranging auditions tomorrow. We will definitely help Brother Lang regain his reputation."

"Haha, I'm not angry at all! Not at all!"

"Yes, we must make sure that Mr. Gu and Brother Lang's first collaborative script is well shot!"

"I like this!"

After everyone discussed it, they would gather together tomorrow, and after discussing the script and characters, they happily said goodbye.

After everyone left, Gu Jialan also prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Shen Lang quickly took Mr. Gu's hand and said, "Boss, everyone is so motivated, why don't we finish the script overnight?"

Gu Jialan blushed as she broke free from someone's clutches and said, "Don't think I don't know what evil thoughts you have!"

Shen Lang was surprised and said, "Just now, someone called you sister-in-law, and you didn't refute it!"

"You two were chatting enthusiastically, so I was embarrassed to interrupt you?"

"..."

Looking at the beauty's receding back, Shen Lang felt lost. The night was long, who could accompany him?
"Ding, job opportunity for Donkey Bao detected!"

"Donkey Bao has a new mission. The investment in "Charlotte's Troubles" was 22 million, and the investment in "Hero" was 220 million. The investment difference is ten times. As the assistant director and main creator of the crew, can you lead the team to defeat "Hero"?"

“Mission Reward: Catch up with the filming progress of Hero, release it at the same time as Hero, and reverse the situation at the box office, with the box office revenue exceeding that of Hero!”

"If the box office revenue exceeds 1 times that of "Hero", you will be rewarded with random attribute entry and a chance for your popularity to skyrocket!"

Shen Lang: "..."

What I want is a beauty, and what you give me is a job.

It's quite an eyesore, do you know that?
