All is ready except for the final touch!

Lin Yuan met the producer arranged by 01′ Zhou the very next day.

Originally, 01′ Zhou wanted to also arrange the director for Lin Yuan, but Lin Yuan decisively declined.

He wanted to personally control the selection of the director and actors.

After considering it, 01′ Zhou agreed.

It is not that Lin Yuan, the screenwriter, holds a high position.

It’s just that everyone treated the matter of Mr. Lin making a movie as a game of house with Maestro Junior.

Since it’s a game, why take it seriously?

However, it’s not entirely unserious.

At least the producer that 01′ Zhou arranged for Lin Yuan is quite serious—

The producer is Shen Qing.

Starlight already has a film and television department. Shen Qing is a middle-level executive in Starlight’s original film department.

It’s just that recently, Starlight hired a bunch of film and television talents, including some relatively strong producers.

As a result, Shen Qing’s role in the film and television department was suddenly overshadowed by these outside hires.

Unfortunately, there was nothing Shen Qing could do about it.

After all, these outside hires are indeed more experienced and capable.

In comparison, Shen Qing is insignificant.

After the company planned for “Thunderstorm”, the producing team was mostly run by parachuted-in talent. Shen Qing tried to get a foot in the door for a long time but could not find a spot.

Just as Lin Yuan was planning to make a movie, 01′ Zhou simply shifted Shen Qing, the outcast from “Thunderstorm,” over to him.

Although everyone defaults to Lin Yuan playing house, this is the first opportunity for Shen Qing to serve as the chief producer for a film. He saw it as a rare learning opportunity, so there was no problem with his attitude—

After all, he would not have been able to squeeze into the “Thunderstorm” team anyway.

So why not take advantage of the opportunity to experience the production process?

Therefore, the night Shen Qing received Lin Yuan’s script, he carefully put together a producer’s list and gave it to Lin Yuan the next day to review.

To his surprise, when Shen Qing first met Lin Yuan, he found him reading a book in his office.

The book’s title was “The Fundamentals of Film and Television Production.

At that moment, Shen Qing suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure, finding the extraordinary Mr. Lin.

“Hello, my name is Lin Yuan.”

Lin Yuan took the initiative to speak. He has already begun to learn some basic knowledge of film and television production.

The book mentions the importance of the producer to the filmmaking team.

The producer is responsible for organizing and carrying out the film’s production.

The selection of filming locations, personnel arrangements, contacts, and more, are all managed by the production team led by Shen Qing…

Shen Qing is basically the housekeeper who takes care of the daily affairs of Lin Yuan’s crew!

“My name is Shen Qing. Hello, Mr. Lin.”

Shen Qing didn’t dismiss Lin Yuan, not only because he had been tipped off by Ol’ Zhou, but also because Shen Qing had read Lin Yuan’s script.

He does not believe Lin Yuan is somebody who knows nothing about film production!

Someone ignorant about films could not write such a script.

This was Shen Qing’s gut feeling after reading the script for “Flirting Scholar”.

Regardless of the script’s content, in terms of standards and completeness, there is no problem with Lin Yuan’s script.

If forced to say something critical, it would probably be that Lin Yuan’s script is overly detailed, detailed to the point where even the director’s storyboard is ready.

And in terms of Lin Yuan’s storyboard, not only is its professionalism unquestionable, even the artwork stuns Shen Qing.

He finds it hard to imagine that a composer could draw such beautiful storyboards!

This is also why Shen Qing thinks Lin Yuan is extraordinary.

They say Mr. Lin understands film creation, then why is he reading a basic textbook?

But if you say Mr. Lin is clueless, then how did he come up with the professional script for “Flirting Scholar”?

Not to mention that Mr. Lin as a screenwriter is also skilled in drawing, clearly a basic skill of many directors.

Indeed, Lin Yuan was also surprised at the script’s completeness sent by the System, ranging from content to storyboards and even some minor details.

Lin Yuan simply wrote out and drew everything about the script and storyboard that was engraved in his mind by the System.

Writing is not too hard; Lin Yuan’s typing speed is so fast, and as long as he has hands, he can write.

Drawing is also not difficult, for Lin Yuan is of professional-level as an artist.

If he had to compete in drawing, he would crush the drawing skills of more than ninety percent of directors.

After he and Shen Qing exchanged greetings, they began to chat.

However, the first request raised by Shen Qing was rejected by Lin Yuan, because Shen Qing’s suggestion was to adjust the storyline a bit.

“The current plot is coherent overall, yet some parts seem too…”

“Absurd?”

“Yes, that’s the idea…”

The so-called absurdity, is a term in Qi language, meaning a person’s actions and words are hard to comprehend, lacking a focus, and their language and behavior do not have a definite purpose. They are crude, random, and vent their dissatisfaction, yet always have a forceful logic to explain away their actions.

“That is the style of this film.”

Lin Yuan was quite patient in explaining to the housekeeper, whom he respected: “The entire movie is based on this perspective of absurdity. The older audience might not accept this style, but younger people will definitely understand it better…”

Thirty-eight-year-old Shen Qing was silent for a few seconds.

He quickly gave up on persuading Lin Yuan to change the script: “What about the choice of director?”

“Do you have a list?”

“We have a rough list, but none of them are well-known directors. The relatively mature directors have all gone to learn from the “Thunderstorm” crew.”

“Give it to me for now.”

Who the director is may be important for other crews, but for Lin Yuan, as long as the director shoots according to the established direction set out in his script, that would be fine.

This is Lin Yuan’s only standard for selecting people for the “Flirting Scholar” crew, and all it requires is strong implementation capabilities.

“Alright.”

In this crew, Mr. Lin, the screenwriter, had the final say, and Shen Qing saw no point in clashing with him: “Then the scenes will be arranged as we have planned?”

“Yes, and also the list of potential actors…”

“I only have the list of actors internal to the company, and I will send it to you in its entirety. If you want to find actors outside of the company, of course, you can try inviting them, but given our limited budget, we certainly cannot afford the high-profile ones.” Shen Qing gave Lin Yuan a heads up.

“Oh.”

Lin Yuan never wanted any big-name actors anyway.

Big-name actors and big-name directors, just like big-name singers, are burdens with low-cost performance value.

“Then that’s all for now.”

Shen Qing got up with a bit of a complex mood: “I’ll send you the list of remaining directors and actors in our company’s film department.”

“Alright.”

Lin Yuan nodded.

After Shen Qing left, Lin Yuan turned on his computer, logged into his email, and first decided to nail down the director. He had to find someone with adequate execution skills—

A tool person.
