Chapter 246: Shagen Wang Baoqiang

The sound of the air conditioner was constantly ringing in the house.

Chen An opened his eyes when he felt his arms and shoulders being pressed down.

Zeng Li was sleeping soundly beside her.

Chen An moved her head away, and after a while, he felt his arm had almost recovered and then sat up.

He waved his hand to shake off the pain from being pressed.

I turned off the air conditioner, opened the window, and let some air in while the early morning sky was still slightly bright and not too hot.

As soon as the window was opened, the curtains swayed in the wind.

The originally cool bedroom gradually warmed up.

Chen An put on his clothes and went downstairs.

I was too lazy to cook, so I just packed up and went out to buy some breakfast.

Kicking two bags of steamed dumplings and biting a fried dough stick.

When I got home, I could hear the sound of someone washing up in the bathroom. It seemed that the other person had already gotten up.

“Remember to eat the buns you bought~”

He placed the bun on the table and shouted towards the bathroom.

"Hmm~"

Zeng Li's slurred reply came from the bathroom.

After finishing the fried dough stick in his hand and throwing the plastic bag it was wrapped in into the trash can, Chen An went straight into the study.

Although filming will not start immediately, it is better to write the script as soon as possible.

As for the content, it must be picked from the scripts of the heroine's tools, and it is impossible to write a heroine-led script for her like "My Sassy Girl".

What about dreaming?
First of all, it was not a contract signed by themselves, so the script must be used by the company's actors themselves.

Secondly, people with talents like Zhou Xun are rare, and opponents who are a little more difficult cannot handle them.

"It must be something that can make money. What kind of script should I write?" Chen An muttered to himself while sitting at the table.

The most profitable movies at the moment are definitely comedies, which are a popular genre in the global market.

As for the panic plasma film, Chen An didn't have to consider it at all in China.

Just as Chen An was thinking about it, Zeng Li, who was eating a steamed dumpling, pushed open the door and walked in.

"Write a script? I want to see if there is one suitable for me?" Zeng Li's eyes lit up as she looked at Chen An who was preparing to write a script!

"Don't eat in the study!"

"It's not a soup dumpling, it won't get dirty."

Zeng Li swallowed the whole bun in one gulp and puffed up her lips to show that there was no problem.

Chen An: "The script about the coal boss that I talked about yesterday, Feng Xiaogang's script is really good, let's take that one first. I don't have any plans to shoot it for now."

It seems my brain is really not working well, or I exerted too much energy yesterday, so I forgot what I said in the evening in the morning.

"I heard that Director Feng's project is a big one, but it may not fall to me." Zeng Li, who has been in the industry for so long, also understands that some roles are not so easy to cast.

"The company will help. Besides, apart from those veteran actresses from Hong Kong, who else in China is as popular as you? Read the script carefully. The last movie you worked on together did quite well."

Zeng Li’s current popularity is definitely much higher than that of other actresses of the same period!
Now she is the leading actress in China, one of the four major actresses, and a first-line star in both film and television. She has directly kicked out Xu Jinglei and become the top leading actress!
The impact of "My Sassy Girl" was really huge, and with the subsequent success of TV series such as "Young Justice Bao" and "Never Ending", the popularity was unprecedented.

Although he has not produced many works, each of them is successful and is welcomed by some producers and investors.

Metaphysics is very popular in the circle.

As a classmate of Zhang Ziyi, both of them have gone abroad, but Zhang Ziyi is in Hollywood, while Zeng Li is famous in East Asia and has the support of the internationally renowned director Chen An.

With such pressure, Zeng Li was also given the title of the top eight golden flowers of the 96th Central Academy of Drama, which was hyped by the media at that time.

Compared with the veteran Hong Kong stars, their ability to export to the East Asian market is not inferior!

"Okay, but I still want to see what script you're going to write."

Zeng Li nodded and asked curiously while stuffing buns into her mouth like a hamster.

Chen An felt clueless and thought for a while, "I'm still thinking. Sorry for disturbing you." "What? Then think about it. I'll go read the script myself."

He puffed up his cheeks and said, not sure if it was because of the buns or because of anger.

With a light snort, he turned around and walked out, slamming the door behind him.

Chen An tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers, thinking about the script.

I thought of the movie "A World Without Thieves" that we just talked about, and I suddenly got inspiration for one of the protagonists, Sha Gen Wang Baoqiang.

I started writing quickly. The other party started out by playing this kind of role.

One of the works that is absolutely indispensable in his resume is the "Lost" series.

This is also one of the few successful series IPs in China.

One of the souls among them is Wang Baoqiang, who won the Golden Horse Best Newcomer Award for this year's "Blind Shaft".

Then he was spotted by Feng Xiaogang and played the role of Sha Gen in "A World Without Thieves".

"Lost in Thailand" from the "Lost" series is the first domestic movie to break the billion-yuan mark. Today I'm going to grab it and take this IP into my hands.

Several female characters also fit the role of tools.

As for Boss Xu’s request, it’s just a hook. Just tell me whether I’m the heroine or not?
The bigwigs in Hollywood can cheat the financial bigwigs in Silicon Valley. I might be able to help you make some money. You should thank me.

Besides, if I really make her famous, won’t she kick you out?
It is so hard to find a partner like me.

"I'm getting hungry from writing." As Chen An was writing, he sat on the chair and stretched.

I was so engrossed in writing that I forgot about the time.

I raised the Patek Philippe watch that Jerry gave me and worked on it from morning to two in the afternoon.

I also wrote an outline for the script.

"That monster is so hungry, Li Zi~" Chen An shouted as he walked out of the study.

But no answer was received.

"You went out?"

Just as he finished speaking, the door of the living room was pushed open and the other party came back carrying some dishes.

"Have you finished writing?" Zeng Li was standing at the door changing her shoes with her things in her hands. When she saw Chen An coming out, she asked curiously.

"You think I'm a tentacle monster? I can finish writing the script in less than a day. I came out here because I'm hungry and looking for something to eat."

"I went to the company this morning, turned down some commercial performances and decided to take on scripts. I bought some food and brought it back. But you kept saying that I was lazy and didn't know how to cook for myself. I only came out when I was hungry."

"I was so absorbed in writing that I didn't notice. What did you buy?"

Chen An scratched his head. He wanted to refute but couldn't find any strong excuse so he could only change the subject.

"Hehe, I bought abalone and oysters, as well as some meat and peppers to make some side dishes, to replenish you and then drain you before you go to Hollywood!"

Zeng Li said with a chuckle while holding the bag in her hand.

"Don't we eat abalone every day?"

"What are you talking about? Don't speak in that imperial tone!"

Zeng Li, who had changed her shoes, blushed when she heard Chen An's words, and punched Chen An shyly and angrily.

Chen An, who was hit hard, covered his chest and rubbed it. It was you who started it.

After the fight, Zeng Li, with a red face, ran into the kitchen in her slippers, carrying things.

I’m just starting now, so I’ll have to go hungry first.

Chen An felt his stomach was full of hunger and could only cry for a while. Let’s have abalone for dinner!
He turned back to the study and continued writing the script.

Chen An plans to write two copies of the script, one for the actors and one for Chen Wei's director's version.

One is the authentic one, and the other is a watered-down one.

"That's it. At least we have to give them some experience during the filming. It's like spending 30 million to buy a movie-shooting experience. This still needs to be done."

After saying that, Chen An began to formally write the script for Chen Wei, and then made some modifications to the actors' parts.
