Chapter 190: Chapter 178 This Script is Definitely Hot_l

Translator: 549690339 |

On the second day of returning to Qin Province, Lin Yuan officially started work.

By now, the company’s departmental transformation was largely complete. As soon as Lin Yuan arrived at the company, he was given a new badge, signifying his role not only as one of the key players in Starlight’s music department, but also as the representative of the 9th-floor music department!

And today, Lin Yuan was set to meet his music department staff for the first time…

The elevator stopped at the ninth floor.

Upon entering the music department, Lin Yuan was met with a sea of unfamiliar faces.

Clearly, in the reshuffling process, some composers who had previously been working on other floors were transferred to the ninth floor where Lin Yuan was now located.

Moreover, Lin Yuan also spotted a few familiar colleagues in the crowd, who had also been assigned to his department.

Among them, Lin Yuan even noticed Xue Liang, the apprentice he had taken under his wing in Qi Province. However, it was hardly surprising that Xue Liang was allocated under Lin Yuan as it was well known that they had a special relationship, which made it obvious to HR where to place him.

“Lin Yuan.”

01′ Zhou appeared.

Lin Yuan turned around and greeted him.

Chuckling, 01′ Zhou said, “You might still be unfamiliar with some things, so I arranged an assistant manager for you…”

01′ Zhou was perfectly aware.

With Lin Yuan’s personality mirroring that of the composers in the company, expecting him and them to act responsibly was far from reality. They couldn’t even be counted on to show up on time, which is why assistant managers had been appointed across departments.

“Mr. Lin, hello, I’ll be your assistant manager from now on!”

Behind Lin Yuan, a somewhat familiar voice rang out. When Lin Yuan turned around, he found his assistant manager was an old acquaintance—

Wu Yong!

Wu Yong’s smile was particularly fervent, primarily because he felt that his promotion was too incredulous!

In terms of composing skills, he was far from being top-tier!

So why did 01′ Zhou let him manage Lin Yuan?

Because he Wu Yong, was the coworker Lin Yuan was most familiar with!

Therefore, Wu Yong understood that his position as an assistant manager was less of an appointment by 01′ Zhou, and more of a gift from Lin Yuan!

For the first time, Wu Yong felt that his life also had the fortune of hitting a jackpot!

Lin Yuan was his jackpot ticket.

So, no matter which angle you look at it from, Wu Yong would try his utmost to help Lin Yuan manage the department in the future!

It was also a consideration on the part of 01′ Zhou.

01′ Zhou knew that Wu Yong was smart.

And smart people should understand who their benefactor is.

Most managers in other departments had ascended in an orderly fashion, only Wu Yong had risen meteorically.

Under such circumstances, Wu Yong would do anything to please Lin Yuan.

Because Lin Yuan’s attitude determined whether or not Wu Yong, who was promoted because of his relationship with Lin Yuan, could continue in the position of assistant manager!

“Brother Yong.”

Lin Yuan nodded at Wu Yong.

The way he addressed him hadn’t changed, Lin Yuan had always addressed him this way.

While Wu Yong found it bearable under normal circumstances, he felt somewhat embarrassed accepting the informal address today. However, after some hesitation, he chose not to correct Lin Yuan.

He knew some things about Lin Yuan and understood that Lin Yuan wouldn’t care about such minor details.

Without lingering too long in the music department, seeing that 01′ Zhou had also arrived, Lin Yuan decided to take the opportunity to discuss the movie with him.

“What did you say?”

Five minutes later, in the office of the music department on the ninth floor, 01′ Zhou’s expression changed several times, “You want to make a movie?”

“Yes.”

Lin Yuan took out the script he had written overnight, “The story is already written…”

01′ Zhou was at a loss for words.

This was absurd.

After becoming the representative of the 9th-floor music department, Lin Yuan’s first decision wasn’t something related to music, but was instead to produce a movie?

Despite 01′ Zhou’s familiarity with Lin Yuan’s unconventional decision-making, he still couldn’t help but feel a sense of absurdity.

“Well, Lin Yuan…,”

01′ Zhou tried to reason with him, “Making movies and composing are entirely different things. I assume you want to contribute to the company’s move into the movie industry. But don’t worry, movies need soundtracks, so you can just stick to composing songs.”

Lin Yuan clarified, “It won’t affect my composing.”

Shaking his head, 01′ Zhou argued, “It’s not a question of whether it will affect your composing or not. I acknowledge your creative talent, but this idea of yours is too sudden. Even if I wanted to agree, why would the company set up a film crew for you? Our film department is still in its initial stage. If you have this burning desire to make a movie, I can promise you that once the company’s film business is on track, you’ll get your chance!”

01′ Zhou felt like he was trying to persuade a stubborn child.

With his sudden declaration, it felt as if a child had suddenly expressed a desire to play with guns.

How could 01′ Zhou not be speechless?

What was even more frustrating was that 01′ Zhou was indeed one of the people in charge of the movie department. Lin Yuan had come to the right person, but 01′ Zhou really didn’t want to be sought out like this.

Lin Yuan suggested, “Look at the script first.”

He pushed the script towards 01′ Zhou.

01′ Zhou sighed, picked up the script, and glanced through it.

After a while, 01′ Zhou looked up at Lin Yuan in surprise.

The script was well-written, at least the format was without any issues, making it clear that Lin Yuan wasn’t just doing this on a whim.

What shocked 01′ Zhou even more was…

Lin Yuan didn’t just write a script, he also detailed directions for the settings, camera positions, and actors’ performances!

In addition to this,

Lin Yuan had also drawn some sketches.

If this had happened earlier, 01′ Zhou might not have understood them quite as well since he had just recently been introduced to filmmaking.

But in the past few months, under the company’s arrangement, 01′ Zhou had crash-coursed some film knowledge, so he knew what Lin Yuan’s sketches were.

A storyboard script!

Lin Yuan had not only done the work that a scriptwriter would do, but had also detailed what a director should do in his script!

As for the content,

01′ Zhou couldn’t figure anything out. It was a story of gifted individuals, but some scenes were so far-fetched it didn’t make any sense.

For instance, in Lin Yuan’s script, there was actually a part where he wrote that people were used to draw pictures?

Exaggerated.

Very exaggerated.

01′ Zhou felt like he couldn’t keep up with the thought process of young people. However, he didn’t think that this was a clever twist in the plot. Instead, he felt it was somewhat nonsensical.

He pondered and then said, “This is really difficult…”

Lin Yuan frowned.

His phone suddenly rang.

Lin Yuan hung up.

But the person on the other end refused to give up.

Lin Yuan had to take the call.

A passionate voice came from the other side of the phone, “Hello Teacher Admirable Fish, I am the manager from Thunderbolt Entertainment…”

Lin Yuan queried, “Thunderbolt Entertainment?”

Sitting across from Lin Yuan, the face of 01′ Zhou turned red, his emotions inexplicably becoming tense as he stared at Lin Yuan intensely.

Lin Yuan said, “I…”

Unable to hold back any longer, 01′ Zhou abruptly rose to his feet, with a somewhat agitated tone he declared, “I took another careful look at this script of yours, Lin Yuan. This script is bound to be hot! Definitely a box-office hit!”

Lin Yuan promptly hung up the phone, he asked expectantly, “So, I can film it?”

Grinning despite his discomfort, 01′ Zhou replied, “Such an impressive script deserves to be made into a film!”
