"This is my new script. It took me more than half a year to write it..." When Li Nian said this, Ai Ai wavered and waved to Chen Mo vaguely: "I want to ask you to help me write it down, Boss." Changyan, do you think this book... Crooked Nut can understand it?"

Li Nian and Zhang Zongming looked at Chen Mo eagerly, their expressions faltering, and their speech faltering.There is a kind of embarrassment that can't be wiped off.

Zhang Zongming also explained in a somewhat pretentious way: "We don't have much interest... just think that since we can understand Hollywood movies, they should also understand what we shoot. The "Food Color" you made before, boss, is so well-documented." , Those crooked nuts can understand half of it. It can be seen that the cultural barriers between the East and the West are not as hard as we imagined to get acquainted. So we want to strike while the iron is hot..."

"Oh!" Zhang Zongming only felt that his description was getting darker and darker, and finally he became impatient with embarrassment, so he waved his hand and said, "Anyway, you can help me take a look. If you think there is no problem, I will approve the project here."

Chen Mo understood Li Nian and Zhang Zongming's ambitions very well.Thinking of Minister Li's earnest instructions to him before, he felt a little bit of "if you want to sleep, give me a pillow".

Isn't this good? Whatever industry you are good at, you can learn from it.Since country M had Hollywood, it began to sell its concept of a big country to the world through Hollywood blockbusters.Now that Huaxia wants to promote its own culture and history, it can naturally start with film and television.The previous "Food Color" has already made a good start in the field of TV dramas.

Today's "Elder Moon Wars Cupid" can also be tried on the big screen.

Thinking of this, Chen Mo flicked the notebook with his fingers solemnly, and said with a smile: "Alright, I'll keep the script for a while. Let's talk about the details later."

Li Nian and Zhang Zongming nodded with smiles.Li Nian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Well... because Zong Ming'er and I are not very good at emotional matters, Susu helped to polish many details in it. So this "Moon Lao vs. Cupid" Seriously speaking, the script should have been completed by the three of us together."

Chen Mo was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking for a while, he realized who "Su Su" was, and immediately gave Zhang Zongming a meaningful look.

You really can't tell what you look like!

It's only been a few days of work!Because of jealousy and jealousy, a certain man who wants to retreat thousands of miles can handle such a complicated relationship with ease... This is definitely a talent!

The talent of a scumbag!

"It's not what you think!" Zhang Zongming gave Chen Mo an angry look, and said, "The three of us have turned our battles into jades!"

"Yes, yes!" Li Nian also nodded in agreement: "The three of us are good girlfriends now!"

Good girlfriend?

Hearing the words, Chen Mo was horrified, and his eyes subconsciously fell on Zhang Zongming's lower body.

"What are you thinking!" Zhang Zongming jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and cursed, "I didn't bend! I didn't bend! I just made it clear to them!"

"Okay, just make yourself happy!" Chen Mo instantly withdrew his scrutiny, and said something indifferent.

Zhang Zongming was so blocked that he almost had a myocardial infarction.Still wanting to explain more clearly, Chen Mo waved his hand calmly and went to find Yang Qindong with the script.

As the CEO of Starlight Films, Yang Qindong's daily workload is no exaggeration to use the words "exhausted overtime dog".

When Chen Mo knocked on the door and entered the office, Yang Qindong was at his desk reviewing the plans for the new albums of the two big stars of Starlight Film and Television, Jize and Yuan Haobin.Seeing Chen Mo push the door in, Yang Qindong handed the planning proposal directly to Chen Mo, saying: "You came just in time. Both A Ze and A Bin are willing to record a song with the theme of "Food Color" in their new album. I would like to invite some court musicians to help compose the music, the price is of course negotiable. I just don’t know if they will appreciate it.”

"Leave this question to me." Chen Mo waved his hand, not intending to accept the plan: "When "Food and Color" celebrates its success, I will find a chance to ask some master musicians to help."

Yang Qindong knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string song, and immediately said: "The financial department's accounting inventory is almost done, and it will be completed in about three or four days. The rebroadcast rights of "Food Color" purchased by the four TV stations will also be paid within these two days. Come here. Shall I write you a check or apply for a bearer bank card?"

"Let's get a card!"

"Okay!" Yang Qindong nodded, then took out two scripts from the first drawer on the right and handed them to Chen Mo: "The two comedies you want."

Chen Mo took the two scripts handed over by Yang Qindong, and chatted with Yang Qindong for a while, seeing that the company had nothing to deal with by himself, especially skipping work openly.

After returning home, Mu Yu hadn't finished get off work yet, so Chen Mo went into the study with a few scripts in his arms.After thinking about it, I wanted to open the two scripts written by Li Nian.

Li Nian is a person who has always been famous for his bold structure and novelty in his notebooks.Her Virgo "In the Name of Love" opened up a small-budget love thriller for domestic films, and the second comedy film about the ex-girlfriend's boyfriend's wedding scene also left many whimsical and wonderful tricks for the audience. .Now her third works "Moon Lao vs. Cupid" and "Jade Emperor vs. Yahweh", the name alone is enough to prove that Li Da's screenwriter has a big brain.

Taking out the mythological characters from the East and the West, and combining them with the love and family affection that modern young people are most concerned about, the two movies "Moon Lao vs. Cupid" and "Jade Emperor vs. Jehovah" seem to have very strange names. However, the core concept of the film is to use the backgrounds and functional conflicts of the two mythical characters to outline two different outlooks on life and the world for the audience, and to draw out the ideological conflicts brought about by the cultural differences between the East and the West. The seemingly absurd and funny plots allow the audience to subtly accept the differences between the two cultures while watching the excitement.

but……

Whether it is the East or the West, when it comes to matters of faith, a little carelessness will attract rejection and resistance from believers. Although the book "Jade Emperor vs. Yahweh" has tried to simplify the part of religious belief in the plot description, these two mythical characters themselves represent two different beliefs. So Chen Mo thought about it and decided to use "Jade Emperor The book "Battle against Jehovah" was put in the drawer, and I focused on reviewing the book "Moon Lao vs. Cupid".

At the beginning of the script, the audience was introduced to the differences in images and working methods between Eastern and Western priestly matchmakers—Yuelao and Cupid.

Yue Lao is an old man with fair beard and hair, if he has a fancy for a couple, he likes to hold the red thread in his hand on the ring finger of the couple's right hand.This skill is called "Thousands of Miles of Marriage by a Thread", and any two people who are drawn by the red thread of Yuelao, no matter how far apart they are, there will eventually be lovers who will eventually get married and stay together for life.

And Cupid is a cute and mischievous big boy with fleshy wings on his back. He has two kinds of swords in his hands, one is a golden arrow that can promote love to marriage, and the other is lead that can break love. God arrow.The story unfolds from the two young people who came to China to travel, and a pair of Chinese unmarried couples who are about to go on a honeymoon trip.

Jason and William are good brothers who grew up. Their parents lived next to each other. They were classmates from kindergarten to eighth grade. However, Jason's parents had to leave this place because of work. Country, Jason went abroad with his parents, and the two teenagers also lost contact.Unexpectedly, when they were in college, the two of them were admitted to the same school by mistake.Reunited after a long absence, both Jason and William felt that they got along more harmoniously, so they agreed to take a global trip together when they graduated from university.

Their first stop was Huaxia.The two searched for the China Travel Guide on the Internet, booked the air tickets, and when the plane took off from their own country.A blond, blue-eyed, baby-faced young man stumbled in from outside the airport.

It turned out that Jason and William were a destined couple. They were supposed to be shot by Cupid on the day of graduation, the golden arrow that made their love heat up.However, because Cupid drank too much with Apollo last night, he missed the opportunity to shoot the arrow of Cupid.

"Oh my God, what should I do?" The big blond boy wailed in pain in the airport hall. "This is the eighth time I have forgotten my work this month. Father God knows that he will kill me!"

"Oh my dear," the tall and handsome Apollo patted Cupid's shoulder sympathetically, "You can choose to wait at the airport and shoot your golden arrows when they fly back."

"But they plan to travel around the world. When will I have to wait?" Cupid scratched his golden hair angrily, and made up his mind: "I want to go to Huaxia."

"My dear, this is not allowed!" Apollo was taken aback. "The east is not within our jurisdiction. As a Western clergyman, if you enter the territory of the east without authorization, the gods of the east will protest to heaven."

"It's okay, I'll follow them to Huaxia secretly, and I'll come back immediately after I hit the arrow of the god of love, and I will never waste time." Cupid shrugged his shoulders: "Even if the gods in the east find out It doesn’t matter, anyway, they will waste a lot of time making reports layer by layer, and by the time their protest reports are sent to heaven, I will finish my work and go back.”

"But I heard that the Eastern Heavenly Court is also promoting the administrative reform of the sunshine policy in one step recently, and the efficiency of work is not so slow." Apollo shrugged: "I think you should make a business trip report and let Heaven approve you to go out On business—”

"I will die even worse!" Cupid kept shaking his head, seeming to have made up his mind.

Apollo had no choice but to suggest: "Do you need me to drive my new Sun Treasure car to take you to Huaxia? It will save more time than flying over with your wings!"

Cupid shook his head, and he chose to fly to China by human transportation.In the end, the issue of the passport and ID card attracted the suspicion of the Interpol. Cupid escaped the interrogation of the Interpol and the airport personnel in a very embarrassing situation, and was told that he needed to apply for a visa for Huaxia.Very helpless, Cupid had no choice but to leave the airport and enter the opposite Chinese embassy. However, when applying for a visa, the Chinese embassy suspected that he had immigration tendencies, so Cupid's visa application was rejected.

"Damn the Chinese embassy! Just because they have unparalleled food in the world, and because they are the only miraculous country in the world with a culture that has been passed down for 5000 years, they think that people all over the world admire their heaven China! They all want to settle in their country! Damn Chinese people! They are always so arrogant!"

Cupid, who was rejected for a visa, was so irritable that he spat at Apollo.

In the end, Cupid, who didn't want to suffer from flapping his wings to fly to China, accepted Apollo's suggestion and took Apollo's new solar chariot to the edge of Kyushu.

"My dear, I can only send you here, because we don't have the clearance pass given by the Heavenly Court, so you can only find a way to sneak in." Outside the Kyushu barrier, Apollo said regretfully to Cupid.

"Thank you very much, my friend." Cupid jumped off Apollo's new solar chariot, flapped his wings and left: "Wait for my good news. I will find you for a drink when I go back."

It took a lot of effort for Cupid, who smuggled into China, to finally find Jason and William on the crowded Great Wall of Huajing.Cupid proudly took out the arrow of Cupid and shot it at Jason and William.

At a critical moment, a Chinese man suddenly appeared on the trajectory of the golden arrow.The golden arrow passed through the man's heart and went straight into William's body.

Cupid stared at this scene dumbfounded, and wailed in pain: "Damn something went wrong again."

He hastily put his hand into the quiver behind his back, trying to take out a lead-headed arrow to unravel the fate of the two men. Yue Lao who was hiding beside the Huaxia man and his fiancée and tied the red thread suddenly appeared, angrily He accused Cupid and said: "Mr. Cupid, you have sneaked into our Chinese territory again. You have caused so much trouble for the old man's work. I will report to my superiors and complain to heaven!"

"I didn't do it on purpose either!" Cupid shrugged helplessly, "I'll untie them now."

As Cupid spoke, his expression froze suddenly.

"Oh my God! My lead-headed arrow is gone." Cupid looked at Yue Lao in horror, and Yue Lao also looked at Cupid dumbfounded.Then the two turned their heads stiffly, and looked at the two leading couples in the crowd - the Chinese couple Li Ming and Du Yue who were about to get married, and William and Jason who came to travel.

Because of Cupid's Arrow of Eros, Li Ming fell in love with William at first sight.Regardless of the eyes of the world and the feelings of his fiancée, he ran to William to confess.William, who was also shot by Cupid's arrow, agreed to Li Ming's confession without hesitation.

Li Ming's fiancee and Jason looked shocked, the next second Li Ming's fiancee Du Yue slapped Li Ming across the face. "You damn gay, how dare you cheat on a marriage!"

After being slapped, Li Ming covered his red and swollen cheeks, looking at Du Yue with pain and fascination.Because of Yuelao's red line, Li Ming's feelings for his fiancée are also very sincere.The two of them have already agreed on a time to get married, and even halfway through the three-media and six-engagement process, they have met their parents, and even the wedding banquet has been set.

"Xiaoyue, I swear I love you too. I can't live without you, and I didn't cheat on your feelings..."

"You still want to step on two boats?!" Du Yue was even more furious when he heard the words, and without thinking about it, he slapped his hands in a round circle and said firmly, "We're done!"

On the other side, Jason also looked at William with a shocked and sad face: "I thought there was a tacit understanding between us. I thought you agreed to travel around the world with me because... well, anyway , I still bless you."

Jason wanted to leave in frustration.But William subconsciously held both hands.Although the heart was shot by Cupid's arrow of Cupid, William's soul belonged to Jason.He didn't want to see Jason leave disappointed, his heart and body were in torn pain.

Yuelao was desperately urging Cupid to find a way to solve this matter: "Why don't you priests in heaven know how to keep pace with the times? I have already suggested that you either install a navigation system on your arrows or change to a different archery method. You see How safe it is for me to draw the red thread directly on the ring fingers of the two of them, nothing will happen..."

"Stop rambling, I'm already thinking of a solution." Cupid, who caused a catastrophe, couldn't remember where he put his lead arrow, and turned around in a hurry.

And below, the situation of the two couples shot by Yuelao's red line and Cupid's arrow is indeed even worse.

If love is a matter of two people, then marriage is a matter of two families.Li Ming and Du Yue have reached the point of discussing marriage, and the wedding will be held soon.In the end, when they were traveling, they were robbed of love by the male mistress. Neither family could bear such a result.

That night, the elders of the two families brought Du Yue Qiqi to find Li Ming, Jason and William. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a Chinese-like family is always the most difficult problem in the world, not one of them!

So Jason and William, who grew up with a Western education background, were honored to witness a family war with Chinese characteristics.As the central focus of the war, Li Ming and William were devastated by artillery fire, and there were a series of novel plots that made the authorities dumbfounded and the theatergoers laughed.

Chen Mo keenly noticed that between the lines of Li Ming, Du Yue, and William Jason, there was a kind of detail about how to control emotions with ease. This should not be caused by single dogs like Li Nian and Zhang Zongming.

Reminiscent of what Li Nian said earlier that Yang Susu also helped to polish it, I understood it.

It is worthy of being a potential director who can win the "Golden Crow Award for Best New Director Award" for a Virgo. Yang Susu's control of emotional issues is definitely more delicate and precise than most directors, and she also has a touch of gentleness and euphemism unique to women. .

It's like a prose with clear rhetoric. In the lively and slightly exaggerated comedy atmosphere of the whole scene, it exaggerated a touch of unique warmth and emotion.

And at the end of the script, the magic power of love itself still defeated the magic arrow, and Cupid also found his lead-headed arrow with the help of Yuelao and Apollo. The ridiculous misunderstanding was completely resolved.

The final ending is also a happy reunion for all.Under the appearance and explanation of Yuelao and Cupid, the two couples understood their ultimate emotional affiliation, and also understood what happened to the oolong this time, and all the grudges in their hearts disappeared immediately.They became good friends with each other.As the hosts, Li Ming and Du Yue accompanied Jason and William to have a good time in Huaxia.

When Jason and William were about to leave Huaxia, they also sent an invitation to Li Ming and Du Yue, inviting the Chinese couple to spend their honeymoon in their country.By the way, it also laid the groundwork for Li Nian's other play "The Jade Emperor vs. Jehovah".

After experiencing the wonderful ideas of "In the Name of Love" and the novelty of "Crazy Wedding", Li Nian's control over the rhythm of the entire film is obviously stronger than what Li Nian revealed in the script of "The Old Moon vs. Cupid". one chip.

However, there are also some obvious problems in the script - that is, there are many obvious cognitive errors in the knowledge structure of the Eastern and Western mythological systems.

For example, Apollo is regarded as the sun god, but in orthodox Greek mythology, the sun god is Helios, and Apollo is only the god of art.It was only the invention of some Greeks and later writers that confused the two gods.There is also the system part of the Chinese gods. Since the gods are used as an introduction to a work, the background structure of the whole film should be perfect, not just scratching the surface of the script.

Of course, Chen Mo didn't know anything too specific.But he can turn to scholars and masters who are good at textual research in this area.See if you can find a way to improve the background of the script.

There is also the translation of the entire film, because it involves the specific structure of the two cultures of the East and the West, it is also necessary to hire more professional talents to carefully consider the words and sentences of the script, and strive to achieve the most accurate standard for the translated script .

The moment Chen Mo put down the script, he thought a lot. He just felt that things were complicated. He opened the computer file and wrote down the things he wanted to do one by one.Suddenly, I feel that I can ask my old classmates for help with many problems——

It seems that the celebration party of "Food Color" really needs to be organized as soon as possible.And Minister Li's proposal...

Chen Mo, who was thinking secretly, heard the sound of the door opening, and immediately opened the study door to welcome him out.Sure enough, he saw Mu Yu walking in with two boxes of takeaway in his hand.

Chen Mo sniffed, took the takeaway box in Mu Yu's hand, and asked with a smile, "What is so fragrant?"

Mu Yuwen said with a smile: "The company opened a new Yangzhou restaurant downstairs, and many employees said that his food is good. Didn't you say you wanted to eat lion's head with crab noodles last time? When I drove by, I packed a few Dish."

Wensi tofu, salted goose, crystal meat and crab meat lion head.

Smelling the delicious food, Chen Mo felt his index finger move and his mouth water.Immediately carried the takeaway into the kitchen, set the table and set the bowls.

Mu Yu went to the bathroom to wash up and changed into a set of home clothes, and asked casually, "Why did you come back so early today?"

"There's nothing serious about the company, so I'll be back." Chen Mo told Mu Yu that Li Nian had written a new script.

Mu Yu smiled and said, "Why did you come up with such a name?"

"Probably because I think it's curious enough, and foreign languages ​​are easier to translate." Chen Mo also wanted to laugh.

Mu Yu asked, "When will your film be approved?"

Chen Mo was taken aback when he heard the words: "It should be within two months." First, reconsider the details of the script, and then shoot directly. As for the later translation part, there is no rush.

Seeing that Mu Yu nodded, he continued: "Will the filming be done abroad, right? At that time, it will be placed in country M. I just happen to be going on a business trip to country M in two months, so I can accompany you."
