Chapter 54 An Xin and Gao Qiqiang (first update)
At the end of the first episode, the timeline returns to the present again.
Gao Qiqiang, a big entrepreneur in Jinghai City, regularly contributes money to benefit the countryside.
He and his subordinate Tang Xiaolong held a banquet to invite the villagers to eat, and received a lot of gratitude from the villagers.
During the dinner, an old man casually mentioned that Brother Dao was being arrested in the anti-gang operation above, and asked Gao Qiqiang if he knew this famous Dao Brother in Jinghai City.
It is said that this swordsman can easily cut off people's hands and feet.
He is the most terrifying ruthless person on the entire Kyokai Road.
Gao Qiqiang shook his head and said that he had never heard of this person, and then talked about him.
At this time, a thug boy ran over and directly called Tang Xiaolong "Brother Dao". The villagers were immediately frightened and became restless...
Brother Dao?
It turns out that the terrible Brother Dao is sitting at the table. He is Gao Qiqiang's personal attendant Tang Xiaolong?
The curtain opens!
The silence speaks!
The plot of the first episode ends at this moment.
Zhao Lei, who was sitting in the back row of the carriage, felt his scalp numb at the moment. Looking at the script on his mobile phone, he felt a turmoil in his heart!
Wonderful!
This script is so exciting!
The screenwriter's skills are extremely profound. In just one episode, expectations are fully raised, and the characters of the two protagonists quickly become clear!
The male protagonist An Xin—
An Xin's parents died when he was young and he was adopted. He is kind-hearted and hates evil, but his behavior is not rigid and does not make people feel distant. He does not lack the realism of the characters. He seems to be what we will encounter in our lives. The kind of good person that makes people feel close to him.
That’s right.
It’s this sense of reality.
Compared with the upright protagonists in conventional police and gangster dramas, An Xin has a very down-to-earth human touch that makes people like her from the bottom of their hearts.
Villain protagonist Gao Qiqiang—
Gao Qiqiang also has no father or mother, but he has one younger brother and one younger sister.
He supported his young brother and sister by killing and selling fish at the market.
Gao Qiqiang obviously lived a hard and tiring life, but he took on the responsibility of his family early on and single-handedly raised two good children who went to school:
My younger brother Gao Qisheng has already been admitted to university.
Sister Gao Qilan’s academic performance is also very good.
The relationship between brothers and sisters is very deep.
After hearing the news that Gao Qiqiang was imprisoned in the detention center on New Year's Eve, his brother and sister braved the cold to come overnight with dumplings, and happened to meet An Xin at the door.
It can be said:
This scene of giving dumplings is what impressed Zhao Lei the most in the first episode!
After this bumpy journey, the dumplings in the pitted stainless steel box had completely cooled down and almost crumbled into paste.
The brother and sister begged for comfort:
Can you bring the dumplings in for my brother to eat?
An Xin, the male protagonist, has a special personality and is very disciplined. He has a very powerful background.
There are two big leaders above who treat him as their own son.
But Anxin often did not give face to these two big leaders.
However, the leader did not give him any face, but he could not bear to refuse the begging of Gao Qiqiang's younger brothers and sisters.
This is the highlight of the character.
An Xin felt pity and could only let the Gao family's younger brothers and sisters come in first, and then share her still-warm dumplings with them.
“Can I let my brother watch the Spring Festival Gala?”
The girl Gao Qilan murmured and spoke cautiously.
An Xin didn't say anything, which was against the rules, but he didn't say anything. He just silently turned up the sound of the Spring Festival Gala on the TV and gave Gao Qiqiang some hot dumplings.
This scene.
The text of the script is cold.
Time, environment, and language are rational.
But the emotions of several characters exploded here.
Zhao Lei felt his nose sore just by reading the cold words. It was shocking!
It is precisely because of An Xin's kindness that she gave her dumplings to the three Gao Qiqiang brothers and sisters.
It is precisely because of the warmth that An Xin brings that Gao Qiqiang, who 20 years later in Jinghai City, almost covered the sky with his hands, is still just a fishmonger and spends the Chinese New Year in a detention center. Gao Qiqiang bursts into tears.
This night.
Firecrackers were blasting outside.
It’s a time for family reunion.
Gao Qiqiang was imprisoned in the detention center, handcuffed, with a bruised nose and face, and ragged clothes. He was crying while eating steamed dumplings, but he smiled from the bottom of his heart and said to An Xin with red eyes:
“Police Officer An, Happy New Year.”
The characters sparkle with arcs, and the first intersection of the two protagonists is unexpected!
The bowl of dumplings in the detention center on New Year’s Eve attracted the attention of An Xin’s people and Gao Qiqiang’s people.
Dual protagonists?
The opposition between black and white?
The purpose of this drama is that the good and the bad are completely opposite.
But the first meeting between An Xin and Gao Qiqiang was such a warm and healing scene.
Gao Qiqiang is not a bad person.
At least not yet.
At this time, Gao Qiqiang was just a poor man.
In the detention center on New Year's Eve, Gao Qiqiang was only thinking about making sure his younger brothers and sisters could have a bite of New Year's Eve dinner.
And this is just the beginning.
Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 4…
Time passed little by little, and Zhao Lei turned the pages eagerly, his eyes never leaving the script for even a moment from beginning to end, until he completely forgot himself.
"arrive."
The driver issues a reminder.
Zhao Lei did not respond.
The driver had to raise his voice:
“Brother Zhao!”
"arrived home!"
Still no response.
It wasn’t until the driver reminded him for the fourth time that Zhao Lei finally came to his senses. He opened the car door and got out of the car, staring at his phone the whole time.
“Watch the steps.” “I know.”
Zhao Lei tripped as soon as he finished speaking.
Seeing the driver suppressing a smile, Zhao Lei glared angrily.
Just as he was about to lower his head and continue reading the script, Zhao Lei's expression suddenly changed and he remembered something very important.
not good!
Zhao Lei quickly took out his cell phone and started looking through today's call records.
Call back immediately after finding the unknown number that was previously called to you.
Hunting.
The phone is ringing.
Zhao Lei was spinning in circles, his ear pressed against the phone, listening to the indifferent beeps, and his heart was filled with urgency.
Damn it!
The response is slow!
The representative of Kunpeng Investment, since he would send the script to himself, he would definitely send the script to others!
It is normal for these people to submit one manuscript to multiple submissions.
And the more people who read this script, the more troublesome things will be!
Because any experienced insider can see the quality of this script!
Get it!
Must win!
This script must not fall to others!
Especially not to fall into the hands of Nathan or Tianguang!
Fortunately.
The call was finally connected.
The voice on the other end of the phone didn't seem surprised, even with a faint smile.
“Has Mr. Zhao read our script?”
“Looked at it.”
Zhao Lei tried hard to suppress the impatience in his heart and try to keep his voice calm.
“This script is pretty good. I might consider buying it. Tell me your price point.”
“Wait a moment.”
Jiang Cheng pondered and said: "I want to see the quotations of Nathan and Tianguang first. I hope Mr. Zhao won't be offended. It's always necessary to compare prices. After all, I'm just a businessman."
Absolutely not!
Zhao Lei suddenly became anxious and almost choked on his saliva.
He lost his voice and said: "You sent the script to those two families too!?" Nathan and Tianguang knew about the script and got it! ?
"not yet."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said.
Zhao Lei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
But Jiang Cheng’s next words made his heart skip a beat again.
“I’m about to send it.”
Zhao Lei gritted his teeth and couldn't care less for a while.
“I hope, um, your name is...”
“Jiangcheng.”
The other end of the phone reminded.
Zhao Lei said haha, and then spoke quickly.
"I hope Representative Jiang won't be offended. I was really busy before. Here's the situation. Don't send this script to other companies yet. The whole Qinzhou knows that our Shinhwa Entertainment is the most powerful company, so you can only cooperate with us. It’s the best choice.”
Zhao Lei knew the gold content of this script.
Let Tianguang and Nathan definitely grab it if they see it!
Zhao Lei does not think that he is the only one in the industry who has such a vision.
Producers Tianguang and Nathan are not fools. The three top screenwriters in Qinzhou have been competing for scripts from top screenwriters in recent years, and they have been fooled several times.
"let me see."
Jiang Cheng seemed a little confused and hesitated for a long time.
Zhao Lei couldn't help but said: "Representative Jiang, let's meet first. How about I treat you to dinner? There is a private kitchen that tastes good. We can talk about anything in person. We can't explain it clearly on the phone. In short, don't send the script. Give it to those two families!”
Coughed.
Zhao Lei calmed down and said: "The three major companies are competitors. At the same time, I am very sincere about this script. You might as well listen to my conditions before making a decision."
Zhao Lei knew that he was in a hurry.
This will let the other party see your desire for the script.
At that time, it is possible that the lion will ask for prices all over the sky.
But Zhao Lei had to be anxious. Letting the other two companies read the script of "Crazy" would only be more troublesome and the price to pay would be greater. He has now watched the fourth episode, but he is extremely convinced:
This script has the potential to be a hit!
The rhythm is perfect, and the characters are charming, especially the male villain Gao Qiqiang. This character is so brilliant, and the portrayal of his growth and mentality is simply penetrating!
"Fine."
Jiang Cheng seemed a little reluctant.
Zhao Lei made an appointment with Jiang Cheng on a time and place, then looked at the driver next to him and said:
“Send me off immediately.”
After saying that, Zhao Lei got in the car, took his mobile phone, and opened the search engine: "What does the writer you mentioned before seem to be called who doesn't sleep?"
“Nevernight Hou!”
The driver quickly responded: "But this name means it doesn't make people sleep."
Zhao Lei immediately began to search for information about Night Hou, but the results of the online search were a bit scary. The driver was right:
This Nightless Hou is really a newcomer!
ˆPure newcomers who can’t be newer!
It has only been two months since his debut. He has only written three works, all of which are short stories. Their total content is less than 100,000 words, but he has already become famous in the novel circle.
In other words:
The other person has amazing talent, not only in novels. This person wrote a script for the first time and wrote "Horse"!
Genius screenwriter!
Zhao Lei took a deep breath and had to find a way to make friends with this Nightless Marquis. He was a talented screenwriter!
