Chapter 73:

If you want to make a movie, you must first have a story. Fu Zhen doesn't have a particularly outstanding love story yet, so he set his sights on the "White Castle" that he had fancy before.
The plagiarism lawsuit between "White Castle" and "The West Wind Withered Trees Last Night" has ended. Although Luo Pingping won the lawsuit with great pains, the compensation she received is far from enough to make up for her efforts.
The court sentenced Chen Guanjun, the author of "Last Night West Wind Withered Trees", to compensate Luo Pingping 30,000 yuan, and Chen Guanjun wanted Luo Pingping to apologize. However, Chen Guanjun only lost the money, but refused to apologize. Luo Pingping also There is no way.
She was really at a loss in this lawsuit. The lawyer's fee alone was far more than 30,000 yuan, and the other party had no intention of repenting. She even sold the copyright early, and the film was already in the process of preparation.
And Luo Pingping is still unknown. Many fans of "Last Night" went to her Weibo to scold her for cheating on Chen Champion’s popularity. This is a joke. The original author was scolded for cheating on the popularity of plagiarism. What to say.
She remembered that Chen Guanjun walked in front of her after the sentence was pronounced and said provocatively: "What if I plagiarized? I copied and wrote better than you, earning more than you, that 30,000 yuan I take it as my pity for you."
Luo Ping was so angry that she almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of blood, but she was helpless with Chen Guanjun. The law only sentenced him to compensation of 30,000 yuan, which was the only thing she could get from this infringement.
Luo Pingping really couldn't swallow this breath in her heart, but her contacts in this circle were not particularly wide, and she was not Chen Guanjun's opponent at all.
Luo Pingping looked at the physical book "White Castle" in his bookshelf and sighed.
Fu Zhen asked Jiang Hengshu to find the contact information of Luo Pingping, the author of "The White Castle," and called Luo Pingping one evening. A clear female voice rang from the phone and asked Fu Zhen: "Who are you looking for?"
Fu Zhen: "Hello, Teacher Luo, this is Fu Zhen. I took the liberty to interrupt you today. I want to buy the copyright of your white castle."
Luo Pingping on the other side of the phone was silent for a while, seeming to consider Fu Zhen’s proposal, or perhaps judging whether the person on the other side of the phone was a liar. After a while, Luo Pingping spoke, and she said to Fu Zhen:" You should know that White Castle is not easy to adapt."
"White Castle" has many characters and a complex world view. The open lines and dark lines are interlaced. The flashback inserts the correct narrative to make the timeline a bit confusing. It is impossible to fully understand the meaning of the original text only once, but as long as you read it more than twice, You will understand the despair and redemption hidden in this book, and many readers can't stand it after reading the first two chapters, thinking that the author is showing off his writing and playing with readers' feelings.
"The Westerly Withered Trees Last Night" just copied two of the lines, put the two more brilliant characters down in another context, and presented the original plot timeline to readers in a narrative manner. A few more plots of dog-bloodedness have been added, and it has become a classic online literature that no one can surpass in ten years.
Fu Zhen pursed his lips. He asked Luo Pingping, "Master Luo, do you believe me?"
"I know you, you are a very talented young director," Luo Pingping paused, and then asked Fu Zhen, "Did you shoot Chunhua Mountain? Was it completely filmed by you?"
Fu Zhen understood what Luo Pingping meant. Although the lawsuit between him and Zhao Jin indicated that the copyright of the "Chunhua Mountain" is only in his hands, there are still many netizens who don't believe that Fu Zhen can make the film at that age. "Spring Huashan" is such an excellent work, they think Fu Zhen must have a teacher behind it.
Fu Zhen was suspected by Luo Pingping at this time and didn't feel offended. He assured Luo Pingping: "It's me."
Luo Pingping seemed to have taken a reassurance. She said to Fu Zhen: "Well, my request is very simple. If you film the box office of the White Castle, you can overwhelm the westerly withered trees last night. I gave the film and television copyright for nothing. You, if you can't reach it, then you can give me half a million."
The price of 500,000 yuan is too cheap, not to mention that it may not be worth a penny. Fu Zhen felt that this was not good, and said, "Mr. Luo..."
Luo Pingping’s chuckle came over the phone. Although she made a small amount of money by writing books, it was definitely enough for her life. She was not in a lawsuit against Chen Guanjun for compensation, but mainly for a sigh of relief. But in the end, her breath not only didn't go out, but also took another breath.
Luo Pingping asked Fu Zhen: "You have no confidence in yourself?"
It is rumored that Lian Chunchao, the director of "Last Night West Wind Withered Green Trees", was once the royal photographer of Director Zhang Yige. He has studied with Director Zhang Yige for many years. This should be the first time the other party has acted as a director to shoot a film. What is the level, and the box office of a movie is not only a factor that affects the quality of the movie, and what Fu Zhen can do is to do his best to make this movie well.
He said to Luo Pingping: "I will work hard."
Luo Pingping said nicely: "I believe you."
It is a happy thing for Fu Zhen to be trusted by the author of "White Castle". He thinks about it and said to Luo Pingping: "But Teacher Luo, I may need you to help me make the plot of White Castle together. Organize and modify."
Luo Ping calmly responded, "This is fine, but I can't do this for nothing."
Fu Zhen laughed. He said, "Ms. Luo will be paid."
"That's ok, you can add my WeChat, if you have any questions, just send me on WeChat."
"Thank you, Teacher Luo."
This phone call was about to end. Luo Pingping suddenly remembered a very important question. She asked Fu Zhen: "By the way, when do you plan to start shooting?"
Fu Zhen estimated that the child in his stomach would not be born until October this year, and he could not work immediately after the child was born. How could he not officially start until November, but he could prepare all the preparations during this time. When finished, he replied to Luo Pingping: "I have something else recently. The White Castle may not be photographed until winter."
Luo Pingping didn’t care much about this month or two months. Winter sounded very far away, but in fact it was only a few months. She smiled and said to Fu Zhen,
Winter is good, that The story originally happened in winter."
Fu Zhen and Luo Pingping talked for nearly half an hour. Jiang Hengshu had cooked the food and came out of the kitchen. He sat down beside Fu Zhen, peeled a mangosteen, took out the white flesh inside, and waited until Fu Zhenhang After calling the phone, he brought the pulp to Fu Zhen’s mouth. Fu Zhen lowered his head and bit into Jiang Hengshu’s fingers. Jiang Hengshu’s gaze was low and his expression was calm and calm. He asked Fu Zhen: " What are your plans for coming down?"
Fu Zhen did not hide the truth from Jiang Hengshu: "I want to make another movie after the child is born."
"Is there anything I can help?" Jiang Hengshu asked him.
"No need for now." Fu Zhen shook his head. The first thing he had to do was to work with Teacher Luo Pingping to adapt the "White Castle" to better suit the public's preferences.
During the time that Fu Zhen was preparing for "The White Castle", many online video broadcasting platforms asked him to purchase the broadcasting rights of "Chunhua Mountain". The filmmakers hope that their films can be seen by more people. Fu Zhen also No exception, although "Chun Huashan" will evoke some bad memories about Fu Jianchen, the more he cared about it, the more it seemed that he couldn't let it go, so Fu Zhen happily sold the broadcasting rights.
When the major video sites introduced "Chunhua Mountain" together, "Chunhua Mountain" became popular on the Internet again. Many young netizens resisted "Chunhua Mountain" when the war between Tang Wanwan and Fu Zhen broke out. I haven't been to the theater to see this movie, and then the truth finally became clear, but at that time "Chunhua Mountain" had already been released, and netizens regretted it greatly.
Especially now that the director of the Shazhou Chronicle is also Fu Zhen, for fans of the Shazhou Chronicle, this kind of regret has reached its peak. If they watch "Chunhua Mountain", they may find something in it. Fu Zhen's routine, they will not be caught off guard by the knife.
Li Xun was one of these people. At that time, it was because of Tang Wanwan that he did not enter the theater. Later, he regretted it. At that time, if he contributed a little more to the box office for "Chunhua Mountain", the Shazhou Chronicle might have been with them earlier meet.
When he knew that "Chunhuashan" was logged on to major video sites, Li Xun specifically rushed to a member of Youku for a month for this film. Her roommate had watched this film during the winter vacation and watched her lie on the table with her head tight. Staring at the computer screen, he smiled and said to her that this film is very funny.
The roommate said that Li Xun completely believed this. Although the Shazhou Chronicle had just fed her a knife, it was really funny at the beginning. The screenwriter was talented and all kinds of jokes appeared in endlessly. Even after reading it many times, now Li When Kaoru relived it, the bed was shaking with a smile.
The tone of the first half of "Chunhua Mountain" is indeed relatively relaxed. Li Xun will laugh from time to time, and his roommate will also smile at this time, but the atmosphere of the whole movie has changed sharply after Chen Zhiye ran away from home. Kaoru's tears came out from this moment and never stopped at the end.
Chen Zhiye could not stand the harsh treatment of Chen Fusheng and left home. Chen Fusheng thought that his son was just losing his temper and would come back soon, but he waited and waited. Chen Zhiye never came back. Chen Fusheng wanted to go out. I looked for him, but I didn't know where he was, and I was afraid that he would leave, and Chen Zhiye would not see him when he came back.
Chen Fusheng grew old day by day in such a torment. On a rainy night, he dreamed that Chen Zhiye would come back. When he woke up, he faced the empty house, and rushed out in spite of the heavy rain outside, towards the deep night. Howling loudly: "Ye'er, father is wrong, come back -"
"Ye'er, father is wrong, come back--"
"You come back--"
Prior to this, Li Xun, like Chen Zhiye, could not stand Chen Fusheng's stern father, but at this moment, Li Xun's tears fell with the heavy rain in the movie.
She wished that Chen Zhiye could come back now and appear in front of Chen Fusheng.
