Chapter 407: Topic Selection

After finishing work at night, Xu Jinglei drove away.

The crew arranged a car to pick up and drop off the actors and staff, but they would not send people to the doorstep. They would only stop at the nearest intersection, and they would have to find a way for the rest of the road.

It would be a waste of time if you send everyone to your home.

Xu Jinglei bought a car for convenience of travel. She did not go home, but went back to her rented apartment.

After simple renovation, the apartment was already in good shape. She had moved in for almost a week. Unlike Lin Xiaoling, she had not been obstructed by her family.

Xu Jinglei was an independent person since childhood. She was straightforward and independent. She said whatever she wanted and refused to admit defeat.

Basically, girls in Beijing are like this, but some show it clearly and some make it more tactful. Moreover, this is related to her family education, and her family is strict with her, which has caused rebellious thoughts.

Xu Jinglei opened the door with the key, saw that the lights were on in Lin Xiaoling's room, so she walked straight over.

Lin Xiaoling was lying on the table and was writing something. She looked up at Xu Jinglei.

"I think you are eighteen years old and someone believes that your crew's makeup artist is good. I will introduce you to you another day and I want to become younger," Lin Xiaoling joked.

"Don't mention this, I'm afraid. I won't take on student shows in the future. It's too pretentious." Xu Jinglei complained.

"Your thoughts are too mature, so you can't blame the bad drama." Lin Xiaoling slammed.

"I won't talk to you, I'll wash my face. What are you doing this day?" Xu Jinglei asked.

"What else can I do? I want to make money by filming as soon as possible, otherwise I will be hungry." Lin Xiaoling responded.

"Let me see, is there any show for me?" Xu Jinglei picked up the manuscript paper on the table and started to look through it.

Lin Xiaoling wrote a script about family conflicts. How parents and children get along and communicate with each other is her personal experience. She is having a conflict with Zheng Xiulian.

"I want to write a story of mutual tolerance and understanding, but after thinking about it, the plot is too ordinary." Lin Xiaoling said depressedly.

"Isn't it normal? The plot of "The Two of Us" is very ordinary, and the effect of the filming is pretty good." Xu Jinglei said in confusion.

"It's not that it's not good, but it's not dramatic enough. When I was filming "Spring in a Small Town", I had a feeling that a simple story was filmed by Director Tian was full of artistry and infectiousness. I don't have that kind of skill, so I can only find some plots with conflicts and dramatic conflicts to shoot, which can attract the audience more." Lin Xiaoling thought.

"You can't think of it so much, why don't you ask Mr. Lin?" Xu Jinglei suggested.

"Forget it, I haven't been home for two days. Let's talk about it when I figure out a clue." Lin Xiaoling shook her head and said.

"No matter you, I'm going to take a break, I'm exhausted from filming." Xu Jinglei said casually.

Xu Jinglei went to the bathroom to wash her face, put on loose clothes, took out snacks, lay on the sand in the living room, and turned on the TV.

The apartment they rented has two bedrooms and one living room, and there is also a place to cook. There are sand and home appliances in the living room, which are all suitable for people with white-collar workers or above.

There are several TV stations playing the poster of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and watching the scene he filmed, Xu Jinglei decisively changed the channel.

It’s not that she felt that the filming was not good, but that she always felt weird when watching the scenes she acted in.

After changing the channel, it was a news documentary by China Television, which tells the story of prisoners in prison who were given parole due to their good performance and were able to go home to reunite with their families.

However, after the prisoner returned home, he looked at his relatives at home in different expressions.

Some people hide, some shed tears of regret, some are taciturn, and their relatives have different attitudes.

"Xiaoling, come out and see this." Xu Jinglei shouted into the room.

"What?" Lin Xiaoling walked out, lay on the sand, watching TV.

"Aren't you looking for conflicts and conflicts? I think this is quite real." Xu Jinglei explained, "Although there are cameras shooting, their relationship is real. I feel a little moved, not like they are pretending."

"You're right, I started my business by shooting a documentary, and this was not arranged." Lin Xiaoling analyzed, "The camera is located in the corner, just to make yourself seem to have no presence. If I were me, I would leave the machine there, and the director and the cameraman would go out, so that the shooting would be more realistic."

"I didn't ask you to analyze the documentary, but how about this subject?" Xu Jinglei said dissatisfied.

"The entry point is good, and the specific story depends on what the story is." Lin Xiaoling thought, "I know people from the station. I will take this news film to take a closer look tomorrow. If I don't do it, I will visit the prison and collect materials."

The documentary is not long, and it was almost over when Xu Jinglei switched to this station. Now the next program is being played.

"You'd better find a professional screenwriter. It's too dangerous to run to prison by yourself." Xu Jinglei dissuaded.

"It's okay, just understand the case and contact the prison." Lin Xiaoling said indifferently, "By the way, do you want to play a prisoner or a relative at home?"

"What aside, you asked too early, let's talk about it when the script comes out." Xu Jinglei said speechlessly.

"No, I'm tailored for you. I will write from which angle you play, so that there will be room for you to play." Lin Xiaoling said for granted.

"Prison, I have more inner thoughts. In fact, the relatives at home are not feeling well." Xu Jinglei hesitated.

"You are really greedy. OK, I'll understand the situation first, and I've finally got a little surprised." Lin Xiaoling said relaxed.

The next day, Xu Jinglei continued to film in the crew, and Lin Xiaoling went to Haomeng Company.

It was not difficult to get a box of news videos from China TV. Lin Xiaoling and Lin Zixuan talked about their own ideas.

"You want to shoot this subject? It's a bit heavy, the box office will definitely not be good, you have to be mentally prepared." Lin Zixuan reminded.

The box office of "The Two of Us" was bleak, and the theme of this prison is also a niche movie. Lin Zixuan is worried that Lin Xiaoling will go further and further on the road to niche movies.

"The investment in this subject is not high. I will first write the script and make a budget." Lin Xiaoling insisted.

"Okay, if you want to go to the prison, please go with you and don't run around alone." Lin Zixuan instructed, "Will you go home tonight? Just admit your mistake when you go back. How old are you, and you are still a childish temper."

"Then I will go back together with my sister-in-law and ask my sister-in-law to say good things to me." Lin Xiaoling thought for a while and agreed.

"I'll have no weight, right?" Lin Zixuan sighed.
