Chapter 40 has been revised and optimized.
Back in his dorm, his aunt had already prepared breakfast for him.
While Zhang Zeyan was eating breakfast, he was being pestered by his two cousins.
"What's wrong with you two? Why are you always rubbing against your cousin? He's eating, get over here..."
Faced with her aunt's stern voice, the two cousins had no choice but to obediently leave Zhang Zeyan's side.
"Zeyan, your uncle and I are about to head back. Do you want to come back with us, or stay at school...?"
Hearing his aunt's words, Zhang Zeyan thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, the principal has gotten me a movie role, and I might have to stay and work on the script."
Hearing this, the uncle's eyes lit up. "Zeyan, you're really good! You've only just started school and you're already making movies, that's amazing!"
"My son Zeyan is so handsome, any director would be a fool not to cast him in a movie," said Zhang Qin, the younger sister-in-law, with pride.
My aunt and uncle decided to go back.
In the afternoon, the family boarded the plane to go home, leaving Zhang Zeyan alone at school.
Zhang Zeyan is 18 years old and has already obtained his own ID card and bank card, so his aunt doesn't need to worry about him being unable to live alone.
After his aunt's family left, Zhang Zeyan read the script in his dormitory.
After reading the script, Zhang Zeyan gave it a score of 73, which he considered an excellent script.
The script, plot, and dialogue of this movie all have problems.
The plot lacks twists and turns, the dialogue sometimes doesn't fit the characters' personalities, and the protagonist's words sometimes sound very low-class.
If he were to optimize the script, he should be able to improve it to a score of 80 or higher.
"Xiao Ling, how many points would you give this script?" Zhang Zeyan asked Xiao Ling.
[Master, this script has a score of 72 out of 100 for Xiaoling!]
Hearing Xiaoling's words, Zhang Zeyan nodded.
It seems that Xiaoling's rating is similar to his.
It's a good script, but not a very good one.
If this movie were made, Zhang Zeyan might become a little famous, but it's unlikely he'd become a huge star.
Zhang Zeyan suddenly remembered Xiaoling's ability to assist in creative work.
If this were used on this script, I wonder how many points it would raise the script's rating by.
Zhang Zeyan decided to give it a try.
"Xiaoling, what do you think are the shortcomings of this script?" Zhang Zeyan asked Xiaoling.
[Master, this script has too many flaws...]
Xiaoling talked for several minutes before stopping, her words filling the entire panel.
After listening to Xiaoling's words, Zhang Zeyan carefully compared them.
He realized that there were many problems he had thought of, but some he hadn't thought of, which Xiaoling had now brought up.
Therefore, Xiaoling has a broader perspective than him.
Next, Zhang Zeyan began to try revising the script.
A few hours later, Zhang Zeyan finished revising the entire script.
Zhang Zeyan felt that the revised script was at least 80 points.
"Xiao Ling, rate this script," Zhang Zeyan instructed Xiao Ling.
[Master, this script is currently rated 83 points by Xiaoling, which is considered excellent.]
Hearing this, Zhang Zeyan thought for a moment and said, "What shortcomings do you think this script has? Do you have any suggestions...?"
[Master, there are many shortcomings in this script...]
Next, Xiaoling went on and on and on.
Finally, Xiaoling offered her suggestions: "Xiaoling thinks this script could benefit from adding an action scene here, and another one here... and the emotional scene here could be slightly shortened..."
After reviewing Xiaoling's points of deficiency and suggestions, Zhang Zeyan continued to revise the document.
Several hours later, Zhang Zeyan finished making the revisions again.
During this revision, Zhang Zeyan consulted Xiaoling as he made the changes, and with Xiaoling's advice, he completely altered the script.
A large number of plot points were cut, and a large number of plot points were added.
However, if you read the whole script, you can still see that it is consistent with the previous scripts.
"Xiao Ling, score again," Zhang Zeyan instructed Xiao Ling.
[Master, this script currently has a score of 88 points in Xiaoling's eyes, which is considered extremely excellent...]
[Master, Xiaoling is currently learning about the knowledge and information of this world. If you give me some time, I can re-evaluate the script based on the audience's expectations in this world. This will ensure the script best meets their expectations...]
Hearing Xiaoling's words, Zhang Zeyan asked, "How much longer do you plan to study?"
"Master, just one more day will be enough."
"Okay then." Zhang Zeyan nodded.
The next day, Zhang Zeyan called the principal.
"Principal, I've accepted this script. I wonder what Director Zhang's arrangements are?" Zhang Zeyan asked Principal Li over the phone.
"He's still assembling the film crew. I'll give you his contact information; you can call him yourself."
"Okay, thank you, Principal."
Soon, Zhang Zeyan obtained Director Zhang's contact information.
"Zhang Zeyan, I'm still setting up the production team. We've only just started casting. Don't rush me. Give me a week. You can find an acting teacher at school to learn acting skills during this week..."
"Okay, Director Zhang, I understand."
"We both have the same surname, Zhang, and we even went to the same school. You can just call me senior brother in private from now on."
"Okay, senior brother."
After hanging up the phone with Director Zhang Ermao, Zhang Zeyan called the principal again and relayed Zhang Ermao's words.
"I'll arrange two acting instructors for you later, and you'll be learning acting from them for the next few days!"
In the afternoon, the performance teacher arranged by Principal Li arrived.
The principal assigned him two acting teachers, one for the morning and one for the afternoon.
The teacher who taught in the afternoon was surnamed Wang. He was a middle-aged man with a solid foundation in performance theory.
"Zhang Zeyan, did you study acting before?"
As soon as Teacher Wang started teaching, he discovered that Zhang Zeyan was very skilled at acting.
"Yes, Teacher Wang, before I decided to apply to Nandu Film and Television Academy, I had already consulted an acting teacher to learn some acting skills." Zhang Zeyan nodded.
"I see. Then I'll give you a test to see what level your acting skills have reached. You have no objections, right?"
"No, Teacher Wang, you just need to proceed with the testing?"
Half an hour later, Teacher Wang looked at Zhang Zeyan with a complicated expression.
"Zeyan, your acting skills are already on par with some of the senior students. However, if you want to make movies, you still need to hone your acting skills, such as the micro-expressions on your face."
Okay, over the next few days, Teacher Tian and I will spend time with you honing your acting skills. If you just focus on understanding, you should be more than capable of handling Zhang Ermao's film.
One day later.
Zhang Zeyan asked Xiaoling to rate his revised script again.
"Master, after continuous learning and combining it with information about the culture and history of this world, I would give this script an 85 out of 100. If we revise it to better suit the aesthetics of the audience in this world, the score will be even higher..."
Next, during the day, Zhang Zeyan worked with two acting coaches to hone his acting skills.
In the evening, he asked Xiaoling to help him revise the script.
He wanted to test Xiaoling's limits and see if, with her help, he could revise the script to a score of 90 or higher.
