After staying at home for half a month, Meng Wenming enjoyed the warmth of his family. Then, he set off for Tengchong.
Along the way, Meng Wenming did not stay idle either. He was writing a novel, and it was the script for the pinnacle of the war dramas in his previous life, My Leader, My Regiment.
The novel was written in the first person, and everything that happened was from the perspective of the protagonist, Meng Fanlao.
A war drama based on the Battle of Songshan could be said to be the most realistic war drama in his previous life.
"Is this the script you wrote?" A middle-aged man beside him came over and said.
" That's right, Teacher Kang." Meng Wenming nodded and said," I've been lacking a lot of materials at home these past few days, so I started writing first."”
The middle-aged man was Kang Honglei, the director of a war drama.
However, 249 didn't exist in this world, so the film industry was still dominated by anti-Japanese dramas and brainless idol dramas.
Kang Honglei looked at the script written by Meng Wenming. After a while, he said," I can tell that you wrote it with your heart. I like this script very much."”
"How is it, Teacher Kang?" Meng Wenming smiled and said,"You've given my dad enough face, right?"”
Kang Honglei nodded and looked down at the script.
As a top-notch director, he wouldn't go crazy just because the script was good. The first thing he had to do was to find faults and minimize the bugs in the script.
This was an 'occupational disease' of a professional director. Meng Wenming did not mind. He felt that he had found the right person for Kang Honglei's serious attitude.
"The script is very good, but there are some places that need to be removed.”Kang Honglei said.
"Please tell me," asked Meng Wenming.
After all, he had only adapted the novel from his previous life into a script and added a small amount of his own ideas. Now that Kang Honglei had his own ideas to improve, Meng Wenming was more than happy to do so.
Kang Honglei said," I know you want to be realistic, but this is a work of art after all. You have to consider the audience's tolerance. I suggest not shooting the part about the comfort women. If it's too realistic, the audience might not be able to take it."”
Meng Wenming nodded. He also remembered that it was not good to be too extreme. After all, the audience in this world had been poisoned by the drama series. Although they were already sick of it, many people could not stand the sudden visual impact that was too realistic.
"Also, I suggest not shooting the plot after the Battle of Southern Heavenly Gate. The reason was the same as before. This part of the plot was too depressing. The first part was already depressing enough. If this part was added, the audience would suffocate to death.”Kang Honglei continued.
Meng Wenming thought for a moment and said," How about this? I'll just delete the part about the war chess deduction and write in the real battle of Songshan. Is that how it ends?"”
Kang Honglei thought for a moment and said," I still suggest that we don't blindly pursue the truth. We have to consider the reality."”
Meng Wenming nodded and said," Let's go to the National War Cemetery first. It's my first time paying respects to the martyrs."”
As they spoke, the two of them set off and headed for the National War Cemetery.
Meng Wenming cried. He had always thought that the martyrs were just a foreign memory to him. His initial goal in filming this drama was to make himself famous.
However, the moment he entered the cemetery, it was as if the cemetery had magic. He seemed to hear the heroes of the past telling stories of their struggles, and tears could not stop flowing.
Meng Wenming suddenly felt a sense of mission. He felt that it would be a great sin if he did not finish filming this drama and do it well.
Kang Honglei wiped his reddened eyes and looked at Meng Wenming.”
"It's fine. I'm sorry for making a fool of myself." Meng Wenming wiped his tears and said.”
" No, no," Kang Honglei quickly said." It's rare to see young people like you. When they listen to hero stories, they really listen to stories."”
" To be honest, I just wanted to make a name for myself in the beginning," said Meng Wenming." I didn't expect that I would suddenly cry when I got here."”
Kang Honglei nodded and then changed the topic." Tell me, do you have a candidate for the actor?"”
Meng Wenming said," There are a few candidates. I hope Zhang Yi will play Meng Fan's role. I'm prepared to play Long Wenzhang myself. Yu Xiaoqing will let Xing Jiadong play."
I only have these few candidates for the time being. If you have a suitable candidate, give me a word and I will definitely use him.”
"What are you saying? Do you think I'm the kind of person who uses backdoors?" Kang Honglei laughed and scolded.”
"No, no, no, I didn't mean that. I just said that I trust your judgment, Teacher Kang."”
The two of them discussed for a long time and finalized the cast list. However, this was only decided by the two of them. The actors still had to depend on them.
Meng Annoyed-Zhang Yi
Long Wenzhang-Meng Wenming
Enchanting Dragon-Zhang Guoqiang
Yu Xiao-Xing Jiadong
Li Sifu (Yaoma)-Wang Xun
Deng Bao (not spicy)-Wang Dazhi
Grain and wheat (bean cake)-Xie Mengwei (Gazi Ge)
Veterinarian Hao-Old Master Luo Jingmin
Xiaozui-Yuan Fei
Shangguan Jieci-Liu Weiwei
The main characters were almost the same as in his previous life, except that Meng Wenming shamelessly replaced Old Duan and played the role of Long Wenzhang himself.
The actors were basically confirmed. The next step was to contact the actors and discuss the script with Kang Honglei.
After all, this was still the original version of the script. Even Meng Wenming felt that there were many places that needed to be changed, let alone Kang Honglei.
The two of them began to revise the script crazily. In the end, half a month later, the final version of the newly released " My Leader, My Regiment " was completed.
It was not a problem to have Meng Wenming, the money tree, as his father. Kang Honglei had his own team, which was also ready-made.
The actors were basically contacted. Other than Liu Weiwei, who had to be pushed back to join the cast, there were no other problems.
It could be said that the initial stage of this drama was still smooth, but everyone knew that for a long time to come, everyone would have to suffer.
Meng Wenming's father, Meng Chu, knew that there were only two female characters and that they had already been decided. He grabbed the phone and scolded Meng Wenming.
However, Meng Wenming also knew his father's personality. He was just a playboy. He kept saying that he wanted to sleep with female celebrities, but he actually had the heart but not the guts.
If Meng Chu dared to reach out, his mother, Liang Jing, would chop him up. Therefore, Meng Wenming didn't talk back. He just kept coaxing his father.
