Science fiction, romance

“As long as we can get in touch, it’s fine, even if we can’t sign them, there’s no problem.”

Li Tianyang smiled slightly; when asking for help, one should have the attitude of someone asking for help.

As for whether it would be successful, that was not something he could demand.

“Alright, Director Li, I’ll contact them now.”

Linda nodded.

She had already picked up the phone from the desk, found a contact, and dialed the number.

……………

Jiangcheng Driving School,

After Shen Rou signed the registration form, she left the driving school registration hall directly.

Ever since she bought a car a few days ago, General Manager Chen had given her an order to register for driving school these past few days.

There was no other way,

So she had to come to the driving school registration hall today to sign up first.

Just as she walked out of the driving school registration hall, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Shen Rou took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID, slightly startled.

Linda!

Isn’t that the person from the suit shop? Why is she calling her?

Shen Rou answered the phone, puzzled.

“Hello, I’m Linda.”

As soon as the call connected, Linda’s voice came through the phone.

“Mm, I know. May I ask what this is about?”

Shen Rou spoke softly.

“It’s a bit of something…”

Linda slowly explained the situation.

“I wonder if Assistant Shen could help make an introduction?”

“Oh, like that! I’ll give you the contact information for the manager of Lanpian Film and Television. As for how to cooperate, you can discuss it yourselves.”

Shen Rou thought for a moment and then spoke directly.

Since the other party wanted to discuss cooperation, there was no need for her to refuse.

However, she wasn’t the person in charge of Lanpian Film and Television, so it wasn’t appropriate for her to interfere with Lanpian Film and Television’s affairs. She simply gave the other party the contact information for the manager of Lanpian Film and Television. As for the final outcome of the discussion, that was their own business.

“Then thank you, Assistant Shen.”

Linda said gratefully.

Inside Nanhe Cafe,

Linda hung up the phone and looked up at Li Tianyang.

“I got the contact information for the manager of Lanpian Film and Television, but whether you can negotiate successfully depends on you.”

“Alright, then thank you very much!”

Li Tianyang said thankfully.

“You’re welcome, Director Li. You’ve helped me a lot before, so this small favor is nothing at all.”

Linda smiled and shook her head.

………………..

Tomorrow Group,

Lanpian Film and Television,

A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses was sitting in an office chair, carefully reading a script.

Luo Xiao and Wang Bin sat not far away, waiting quietly.

This young man was the screenwriter they had invited.

No,

Calling him a screenwriter seemed a bit off; he should be called a web novel author.

As for why they invited a web novel author instead of a screenwriter, it was entirely because science fiction movies were in decline, so few people were willing to write science fiction scripts anymore.

This led to a situation where they couldn’t find any suitable screenwriters for science fiction novels.

later, having no other choice, under the recommendation of a screenwriter, they found an author who was writing a science fiction novel.

After some communication, they invited the other party to Lanpian Film and Television.

Although they didn’t know if he could help revise the script, it was at least an opportunity, and trying it wouldn’t hurt.

After an unknown amount of time,

The young man adjusted the black-rimmed glasses on his nose and put down the script in his hand.

“Writer Hu, how is it? Is there a problem with this script?”

Luo Xiao saw the young man put down the script and quickly spoke.

Hu Bian looked up at Luo Xiao, pondered for a moment, and spoke indifferently.

“General Manager Luo, are you sure you want to revise this script?”

“To be honest, I don’t think this script needs to be revised at all.”

“Why do you say that?”

Luo Xiao asked, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Hu Bian said without hesitation.

“From my perspective, aside from the novel concept in the script, I didn’t see any other highlights. Especially in the middle, the male and female leads actually had a romantic subplot, which is really too abrupt.”

“You have to know, this is a sci-fi disaster movie. For them to fall in love in the middle of the plot is simply too cliché.”

“…”

Hu Bian continuously pointed out the shortcomings in the script.

As Luo Xiao listened to Hu Bian’s words, his eyes gradually lit up.

There’s a problem in the middle of the plot,

A sci-fi disaster movie with romance.

That’s right!

A sci-fi disaster movie with romance? That’s ridiculous.

When disaster is already imminent, who still has the heart to fall in love? This plot is simply illogical.

Why hadn’t he thought of that before?

Luo Xiao seemed to have an epiphany, instantly understanding the flaws in the script.

At this moment, he also couldn’t help but think of General Manager Chen. The first time General Manager Chen read the script, he immediately pointed out the shortcomings in the script, which was precisely the plot in the middle.

This indicates that,

General Manager Chen had already seen the problems with the script the first time he read it. Sure enough, General Manager Chen is General Manager Chen; his vision is truly sharp.

Thinking of this,

Luo Xiao looked up at Hu Bian.

“Then can you revise this script?”

“Revising it is not a problem, but to revise it perfectly, this script needs major changes. In the end, perhaps only the core concept will be retained.”

Hu Bian looked at the script on the table and slowly spoke.

“No problem, but I need it as soon as possible. Can you do it?”

Luo Xiao nodded without hesitation. The script already had problems, so revision was inevitable.

And since Hu Bian could spot the problems with the script at a glance, he must have a certain level of skill, so entrusting the revision to him was reassuring.

“Yes, the concept of this script has already given me some ideas, and I have a general plot outline. It should be mostly revised within two days.”

Hu Bian said with a smile.

When he read this script, he already had some of his own ideas, so revising it would be relatively simple.

He just needed to combine the concept of this script with his plot outline, link them together, and the entire script would be complete.

Two days?

Luo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Two days was acceptable to him and did not exceed the deadline given by General Manager Chen.

“Alright then, two days it is.”

“By the way, if you think our Lanpian Film and Television is not bad, you can choose to join us. The benefits we offer are very good. If you’re not clear on them, I can show you our salary benefits.”

As Luo Xiao spoke, he took out a document related to salaries from his office desk drawer and handed it to Hu Bian, who was sitting opposite him.

Hu Bian was startled. He was a freelance novel author and had no intention of working a regular job, as there were too many constraints.

However, Luo Xiao had already handed over the document, and he couldn’t refuse directly, as it would be too impolite.

After thinking for a moment,

He took the document, planning to politely decline after reading it.
