In summary, these tactics could be called "Full Attack Manual for a First Movie".
When Shi Jin was having dinner, she realized that Fu Xiuyuan was deep in thought and seemed to be recording something.
When Shi Jin bought the milk tea, she realized that Fu Xiuyuan was still thinking about something. She probed, "Do you... have work to do tonight? Why don't we do it another day?"
"No!" Fu Xiuyuan was a little agitated. There was a hint of resistance on his sharp features, and there was a suspicious tinge of red at the tips of his ears. "I don't have any work to do. I really like how the male lead and female lead meet and fall in love with each other, and how hard they work to follow their dreams."
Shi Jin scrutinized him seriously. Fu Xiuyuan's expression turned unnatural as he touched the tip of his nose with his long fingers.
She sniggered and held Fu Xiuyuan's arm. "I won't change, I won't change. Just today. I really want to watch a movie with you, Mr. Fu."
The redness on Fu Xiuyuan's ears had yet to fade before it deepened again.
They entered the movie theater which was playing advertisements while Fu Xiuyuan waited for the movie to start with a serious expression.
Shi Jin's cell phone rang. She glanced at it. "Great screenwriter, someone is paying for the screenwriter's name for 'Sing My Life'. Are you selling it?"
"No." Shi Jin typed.
"Sing My Life" was the screenwriter work of Shi Jin a year ago. She had used a pen name at that time.
In Lin Jie's previous life, after the movie was completed, the box office earnings had been very high. Although it was just a youth inspiration film, it did not lack in principles about life. It gave people a feeling of frequently watching Chang Xin and it was once praised as the year's masterpiece.
At that time, because Shi Jin had borrowed from the notorious wolf, she had been short of money. Someone wanted to buy her pen name, so she sold it.
As a result, when she wrote all sorts of good works later on, she did not have the capital to produce any of them.
Her reputation had also been bad, so no one accepted her anymore. In this life, she would never do such a stupid thing again. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
At that time, no one thought highly of the script of "Sing My Life". It was all because a producer felt that it was not bad and had given Shi Jin a chance to shoot it that it had been made. The actors that he chose were actually very limited in popularity and the entire production team was very rough.
However, a good story could withstand these limitations. When all the announcements were done, the box office rose against the trend and the reviews were amazing.
"Almighty Screenwriter, there are singers who would like to decide on a theme song for 'Burning Sun, Long Sky' that you are about to shoot. Is that okay?"
Actually, any other scriptwriter would have no right to decide on the theme song. However, this industry was not always realistic. It could be a little superstitious at times. Sing My Life had become popular because of the screenwriter's script, and the next film crew for "Burning Sun, Long Sky", was used to having to look at things through the screenwriter's eyes.
"Who?" Shi Jin asked.
"Wen Yongwei, champion of 'Ultimate Singer Songwriter', is brimming with talent."
Shi Jin immediately replied, "No." Then she put her phone away.
"Burning Sun, Long Sky" did not have a youthful theme. Instead, it was more serious. That was a work that Shi Jin had created after she had gained some experience.
That guy wanted Wen Yongwei to compose the theme song?
It was not that Shi Jin looked down on her, but this movie hinted at the vicissitudes of life after experiencing the world. It was not something that a little rose from a greenhouse like Wen Yongwei could handle.
After she put away her phone, the movie started. The lights dimmed and when Shi Jin turned her head, Fu Xiuyuan's face happened to turn towards her in the dim light.
It was as if the heavens had descended to the mortal world. In an instant, Shi Jin felt a little dizzy from his handsomeness. She could not help but whisper, "You're so handsome."
In the darkness, the tips of Fu Xiuyuan's ears turned hot. He pursed his lips and rubbed Shi Jin's fingers with his thumb.
As a result, Fu Xiuyuan was too distracted to notice what the actors on the big screen were doing or saying.
Fortunately, he did a good job. After calming down for the second half of the movie, he was still able to keep up with the pace of it. It was not too ridiculous.
The movie ended and the lights were turned on. Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan lowered their heads and followed the crowd out.
The two of them happened to run into Fu Heyan walking out of the theater as well. She was on the phone. "That was so good! I'm crying. It's really his loss that Fu Xiuyuan didn't come!"
When Shi Jin and Fu Xiuyuan heard this, they looked at each other. There was a smile in Shi Jin's eyes, but Fu Xiuyuan was able to hold back his laughter. Fortunately, the lights were dim and Fu Heyan could not see them.
The two quickly put on their masks and continued walking out. Suddenly, someone called Shi Jin's name.
Shi Jin turned around and saw Wen Yongwei's familiar face.
"It's really you, Shi Jin." Wen Yongwei took two steps forward and said in a relaxed tone, "I was going to invite you to watch a movie with me, but I didn't expect you to have come in advance."
"There's no need for that. We're not that close yet, right?"
Wen Yongwei did not mind Shi Jin's words. She said to herself, "It should be like this. After all, I booked the entire venue and invited all my friends. My brother's role in this movie is pretty good. As his sister, I should treat him."
Wen Yongwei's elder brother?
Shi Jin thought about it and could not remember such a person.
Fu Xiuyuan reminded her in a low voice, "The actor playing the third male lead is surnamed Wen."
Actually, Fu Xiuyuan did not know Wen Yongwei. Even if he had watched the entire 'Ultimate Singer Songwriter', he would have had no impression of her.
However, he had read the movie guide tonight and remembered all the characters with faces. He also remembered some other things about those characters.
The woman standing before him should be related to the third male lead.
Shi Jin nodded. "So that's your brother."
"That's right." Wen Yongwei's face was filled with pride. Her brother had just started on the big screen, yet he had already acted in such an outstanding movie. Naturally, he deserved to be praised.
She glanced at Fu Xiuyuan. Although she couldn't see his face clearly, she could tell from his eyes that this man had an extraordinary aura. It was just that he was wearing a mask, so it was inconvenient for Wen Yongwei to look at him.
She did not take it to heart. It was not surprising that he had many friends of the opposite sex.
"Not bad," Shi Jin said calmly.
Seeing her calm attitude, Wen Yongwei really wanted to shove her back into the theater to watch it again. Didn't she realize that her brother's acting skills were outstanding?
After saying that, Shi Jin turned around and left with Fu Xiuyuan. Wen Yongwei's punch hadn't landed, and she felt terrible.
