Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 227 The Script for "Brotherhood of Blades 3" is Yours
He went to Lin Ying to talk about Lu Xuan looking for him. The next day, he rushed directly to Lu Xuan's house.
Shang Lin found it strange. Why would he suddenly be sought out?
Then it struck him that Lu Xuan must have written a new script, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so excited to have him over.
But no matter how he guessed, he couldn't figure out which movie Lu Xuan wanted him to direct.
Because he felt that any of the scripts would be wonderful.
The next morning, the door of Lu Xuan's house was knocked on.
Lu Xuan opened the door and saw Shang Lin already waiting outside.
Shang Lin had arrived very quickly. He had sent a message to Lu Xuan early in the morning before setting off, telling him to be ready for his arrival.
But Lu Xuan didn't know what he should prepare, so he just casually prepared some food and drinks.
It would be best if everyone could eat and drink together.
He had a feeling that Shang Lin's visit today would involve a long discussion.
"You came pretty fast."
Lu Xuan praised him. He glanced at Shang Lin's current state and laughed, "Did you stay up all night yesterday?"
"Not really staying up all night, just getting up a bit early and going to bed a bit late."
Shang Lin yawned and continued, "Wasn't I trying to come over and visit you as soon as possible to find out what instructions you had?"
"Do you think I would ask you to do anything bad?"
Under normal circumstances, Lu Xuan would never make these kinds of arrangements. If he did, then there must be a problem.
Because there was really no need for him to do so.
"Come in first, it's a bit strange to keep talking at the door."
Lu Xuan let Shang Lin in, poured him a glass of water, and then led him to the study.
There, Shang Lin saw several of Lu Xuan's scripts, all of which were currently in preparation.
The most eye-catching of them was the one he was looking at now, "Brotherhood of Blades 3."
"Brotherhood of Blades 3" was already written so quickly?
He had thought it would take some time.
And "Brotherhood of Blades 2" had just been released not long ago.
It hadn't even left the theaters yet, and they were already starting to film the third one?
That was amazing!
Moreover, the script for "Brotherhood of Blades 3" looked really great. He felt a natural enthusiasm for it.
It was as if all his feelings had been poured into this movie.
After all, he had been involved in filming it for so long; it was impossible for him not to care at all.
Shang Lin himself had been running back and forth between several film crews recently.
He was needed everywhere, so he could only work a little harder and help out more.
But for Lu Xuan, Shang Lin was capable of much more than just that.
"Tell me, I feel like I'm flying around every day now. I want to know what else you want me to do."
"It's nothing much."
Lu Xuan sensed Shang Lin's inner resentment in those words.
But there was absolutely nothing he could do about it.
Because this matter did have his own intentions behind it.
"Instruct you? I don't have anything to instruct you to do. I just want you to direct 'Brotherhood of Blades 3'."
"What are you talking about?"
Shang Lin felt like he had heard a joke.
He didn't expect that Lu Xuan would want to film "Brotherhood of Blades 3" so soon. The second movie had just been released.
And now they were already starting to prepare for the third one?
"I'm being serious about this. After all, I have a lot of things to do in the future. I think you're very capable, and you helped film many scenes in 'Brotherhood of Blades 2'. You have the ability, and you've been helping out on the 'Brotherhood of Blades' crew all along."
"If I don't give it to you, I don't know who I should choose to do it."
Because this matter was really too difficult.
None of them would be able to come up with it.
And these things sounded very strange.
Being able to do this well was already pretty good.
Shang Lin nodded silently. He said in surprise, "But this is 'Brotherhood of Blades 3'! There will definitely be more viewers expecting it. Aren't you afraid that I'll mess it up and all the good word-of-mouth will be gone?"
"Since I chose to give it to you, do you think I didn't consider whether it would be messed up or not?"
Lu Xuan gave Shang Lin a helpless look.
He had thought it through carefully from the very beginning.
He had already directed two "Brotherhood of Blades" movies. It was only natural to hand the third one over to Shang Lin.
Moreover, only Shang Lin could take charge of "Brotherhood of Blades 3."
Apart from him, Lu Xuan couldn't trust anyone else. That was the truth.
"Are you having any problems starting filming now?" Lu Xuan pointed to the script for "Brotherhood of Blades 3" and said, "Take a look first and then talk."
"Okay."
Shang Lin took the script for "Brotherhood of Blades 3" and began to read it carefully.
In fact, the content inside looked quite plausible.
He felt that it inherited the plot of the previous two movies while further strengthening the dramatic tension of the third.
And there was absolutely no problem with the plot storyline.
The real problem now wasn't these things at all.
"When did you write the script for 'Brotherhood of Blades 3'? It feels too good."
Now that Shang Lin had seen the script for "Brotherhood of Blades 3" with his own eyes, he felt that there was absolutely nothing to criticize.
Everything was so perfect.
Was Lu Xuan even human?
To be so prolific and still ensure quality, was that something a human could do?
"Probably when I was on vacation. Actually, when we were doing 'Brotherhood of Blades 2', I had already thought about how to film the third one, but there were still some problems with the timing."
"More importantly, 'Brotherhood of Blades 3' is a very important link between the first two movies. If we just filmed it casually, there might be big problems. That's why I chose you."
They had thought about so many approaches, but none of them had produced a good result.
But now it was different. They had really come up with a better idea.
"So what are you planning to do now?"
Because of this matter, they had to have a reason no matter what, instead of continuing to hesitate here.
They had hesitated for so long, but hadn't really come up with anything real.
"I need to think about it. I think you're trying to trick me."
Shang Lin held the script for "Brotherhood of Blades 3" and said reluctantly, "You're using such a good script to tempt me. I really don't know what to say. If I were to say I don't want this, I would think I was out of my mind."
