In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

The crew of "Dragon" gave Shen Xudong countless firsts.

The first time to follow a group, the first time to watch the shooting at close range, the first time to be exposed to unspoken rules...

Well, it's not a hidden rule, it should help him increase his experience and improve his proficiency.

Let’s face it, he just likes mature women, and the reason is simple: fruit is the sweetest when it’s about to go bad!

Bringing it back, including the first filming...

He entered the hotel with Liu Yifei and met by chance on the road.

Liu Yifei was very sad about the crew finishing filming. After all, we have been filming together for four months...

He whispered to Shen Xudong: "I feel so uncomfortable... I listened to "Farewell" all night last night."

"You've only filmed a few movies, how can you get so much emotion?"

""Dragon" is my second play..."

"But when you were filming "The Golden Family", you only became friends with Shu Chang. In "Dragon", Shu Chang also came..."

Liu Yifei... couldn't defeat Shen Xudong, so she said, "Humph, I'll ignore you!"

Turned around and went to the actors table...

Aunt Liu smiled at Shen Xudong and followed her...

Of course Shen Xudong did not sit at the main table. He sat with Liu Wei and Qiao Xiaolei.

…

The crew of "Dragon" directly occupied the first floor of the hotel, and there were more than a dozen large tables inside, with seven or eight people sitting at each table, drinking and drinking among each other, and there was a lot of excitement.

There are hundreds of contracted employees on the crew and actors who have not yet left, and there are many of them.

On this occasion, no one would entertain you at all, so you would find a group of acquaintances and join in.

It happened that Shen Xudong only had a few acquaintances, and they sat at the same table.

"You're here, are you packing your things in the room?"

"Well..." Shen Xudong sat down: "Isn't this the flight tomorrow afternoon..."

"You go back to school directly?"

"Of course... I have missed two months of classes. I will definitely have to make up for various classes when I go back to school!"

Liu Wei stood up and gave him a glass of wine: "Don't talk about this now, drink and drink!"

"That's enough, that's enough, I can't drink enough..."

"Beer is not considered alcohol. Just pee a few times later...drink!"

Shen Xudong... couldn't refuse, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp...

In fact, except for Liu Wei and Qi Xiaolei, the rest of the people at this table had nothing to do with each other.

Although they have worked together and talked to each other,... they always seem to be separated by a layer of distance, which is also the reason why Shen Xudong has no intention of dating them.

Fortunately, there is wine.

At parties, alcohol is a panacea. No matter how unfamiliar the place is, drinking it for a round will warm up the atmosphere.

Shen Xudong made a few jokes from time to time, making everyone laugh.

Of course, for this kind of occasion, the procedure is actually relatively fixed. First, you have a drink at your own table, and then of course, you pay respect to the leader...

The attributes of the crew are similar to those of the unit, and there are also various leaders. The production team and the director team are all leaders...

At this time, Zhang Jizhong, Zhou Xiaowen and Yu Min were surrounded by people, all offering toasts.

Shen Xudong felt that he should also express his gratitude. He poured a glass and was about to stand up when Liu Wei held him down: "Are you stupid? Are you going to propose a toast now? Don't you wait for them to take a breath?"

"...Of course I understand!"

Shen Xudong is not an idiot, he can see this kind of thing with his eyes...

When toasting to leaders, one must not rush in all at once. The opportunity must be grasped. When one person comes down, the other person goes up. To maintain popularity, there is still time for the leaders to take a breath.

"Then you're going there now?"

"Don't you have to queue up?"

Liu Wei looked at the scene, thought for a while, and poured himself a glass: "...Okay, okay, let's do it together..."

…

Of course Zhang Jizhong sat at the main table. The people sitting around him were basically the heads of the production team and the director team, as well as the leaders of the municipal government...

In addition, there are representatives of the production methods of "Dragon", including Jiangsu TV Station, China Audio-Visual...

By the way, there is also a middle-aged man, the founder of Ciwen Media, named Ma Zhongjun. He also has an intersection with Zhang Jizhong - "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the first TV series he invested in after founding Ciwen!

Ma Zhongjun is a little interested in Shen Xudong...

He is a screenwriter. In his early years, he was the chief screenwriter of experimental dramas. He has many representative works: "Heat Flow Outside the House", "Red Dresses on the Street", "Red Room, White Room, Black Room" and the movie script "The Beach"...

The reason why Ma Zhongjun noticed Shen Xudong was not because of "The Best in the World", but because of the popular manuscripts written by Shen Xudong and Zhang Jizhong's praise of him...

This is the case. In addition to betting on Zhang Jizhong and Jin Yong's dramas, Ciwen is also interested in the works of other famous martial arts masters.

They have Liang Yusheng's "Pingzong Xia Video" and "Seven Swordsmen Down the Tianshan", as well as Gu Long's "Peerless Two Prides"...

With so many heavyweight works in hand, it is natural to look down on Shen Xudong's "The Best in the World"...

In fact, he didn’t watch it at all!

But he admires Shen Xudong very much and wants him to be the screenwriter of "The Two Proud Brothers"...

Therefore, after Shen Xudong toasted with Zhang Jizhong, he introduced Ma Zhongjun to him. Shen Xudong did not know Ma Zhongjun, but it did not prevent him from saying the words "I have admired my name for a long time"...

"I heard that even Jin Yong was full of praise for the plot direction of "Tian Long Ba Bu"!"

"...No, I'm speaking from the reader's perspective..."

"Then are you familiar with the works of Gu Long and Liang Yusheng?"

"...I have read most of Gu Long's works, but Liang Yusheng...has seen less of them!"

"Why?"

Shen Xudong said honestly: "I bought a copy of "The Legend of the Glacier Goddess" before and read it several times, but I couldn't continue... Maybe it's because I read Jin Yong first..."

"...It can't be said that Mr. Jin Yong and Liang Yusheng had mutual successes before "Dragon"... Liang Yusheng's "The Legend of the Knights of the Tang Dynasty", "The Jade Bow in the Sea of ​​Clouds", and "The White-haired Witch" are still good of…"

Shen Xudong nodded, with a learned look on his face: "Then let me take a good look..."

Ma Zhongjun is telling the truth. Jin Yong did not create Ming Pao at that time. His second novel "Blue Blood Sword" was serialized in "Hong Kong Commercial Daily". During the same period, Liang Yusheng wrote "Seven Swords Down Tianshan" and was serialized in "New Evening News"...

Including after Jin Yong created "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Liang Yusheng's "Pingzong Xia Lu" still completely defeated "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain", and "Xia Ke Xing" also lost to "The Legend of the Knights of the Tang Dynasty"...

But Jin Yong's upper limit cannot be reached by Liang Yusheng - the trilogy of "Dragon", "The Swordsman", "The Deer and the Cauldron", and "The Condor"...

"Then what do you think of "The Two Proud Brothers"?"

"..."Two Prides" is considered to be the pinnacle of Gu Long's early creative work, and it is also one of his rare young hero growth-type works..."

"Peerless Two Prides" is indeed an anomaly among Gu Long's novels, a rare book with a juvenile feel.

Later, Gu Long rarely wrote such books on the growth history of young heroes.

Shen Lang, Li Xunhuan, Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, Meng Xinghun, and even Guo Dalu... all that I can think of, they all appeared at full level and dressed in divine attire.

Ma Zhongjun immediately said: "Then if you were asked to write "The Two Proud Men", what would you do?"
