Chapter 309: Chapter 169: Delivering the Cheongsam to Her Company (Subscribe for the Long Chapter)_2

It can be said that his screenplay, to some extent, is very similar to the formula used by Mahua in later years. After writing the screenplay, he first tested the market with a stage play and then slightly adapted it to be made into a film for the big screen, ensuring the movie’s success to the greatest extent.

And in his previous life, this movie was indeed a success and became his first and most famous work.

That’s right, this "big diamond" is the later blockbuster "Crazy Stone."

Zhang Jingdong quickly and carefully read through the screenplay, so absorbed that he didn’t even notice Chen Hui returning to the office.

Aside from some specific details, this version of the screenplay by Ning Hao essentially laid out the complete story structure of "Crazy Stone," and the main characters were all crafted brilliantly.

However, in his previous life, Zhang Jingdong had watched "Crazy Stone" at least 10 times and was somewhat aesthetically fatigued.

Since it was after all just a screenplay and not yet a movie, he pretended to be surprised: "Hmm! This story is good, let’s shoot this one!"

"Mr. Chen, you’re back just in time. Director Ning wrote a screenplay, and I think it’s fantastic. Here, take a look!"

Chen Hui glanced at Ning Hao, then smiled and said, "If you think it’s good, that’s enough... The contract has been amended, take a look..."

While handing over the screenplay to Chen Hui, Zhang Jingdong received the contract.

Zhang Jingdong briefly looked over the contract, then said, "Hmm, this is basically fine now. Director Ning, have a look."

Ning Hao quickly waved his hand, "No need, I’ll just sign it directly!"

Zhang Jingdong smiled and shook his head, "Brother, always remember, whenever it’s a contract, no matter who made it with you, you must read it carefully before signing... Come on, take a look now!"

Only then did Ning Hao confirm that Zhang Jingdong genuinely wanted him to review it. He nodded appreciatively, took the contract, and quickly skimmed through it.

"Boss, you are really magnanimous, I’m willing to sign this contract!"

Zhang Jingdong then stood up and fetched a pen from the desk.

"Then let’s sign it."

Watching Ning Hao take the pen without hesitation and sign the contract, Zhang Jingdong instantly felt relieved.

Although the contract provided Ning Hao with very generous terms, the most crucial point for Zhang Jingdong was that the term of the agreement was 10 years.

From 2004 to 2014.

Almost all of Ning Hao’s best movies were made during these ten years, and these were also the years he made the most money and ultimately became world-famous.

There is an unwritten rule in folk about impressive individuals: most world-renowned figures actually have their golden and most impressive stages spanning roughly around ten years.

Like Kobe from 2000 to 2010, Zhang Yimou from 1988 to 1998, Maradona from 1982 to 1992, Zhou Jielun from 2000 to 2010...

Of course, there are exceptions, such as the Coach; from the age of 30 onwards, he was the only god-like figure in the world!

Even up to now, he is still considered one of the most impressive figures in human history, and this category wouldn’t exceed three people.

Back to the main point.

After Ning Hao signed the contract, Zhang Jingdong took the pen and swiftly signed the contract too.

By now, Chen Hui had also finished reading the screenplay, and couldn’t help but express his admiration: "Boss, Director Ning’s screenplay is really riveting; I think it’s worth investing in!"

Zhang Jingdong thought for a moment, then said, "In that case, I won’t interfere with the future formation of the film crew and the shooting process. I only have two requests now."

"First, I’ll determine who plays the girlfriend of the male protagonist."

"Second, write a role for a singer. It doesn’t need a lot of screen time; just let her sing a few verses. I’ve already decided on the role for Xiao Fei; what do you think, any problems?"

Chen Hui immediately agreed, "I think Xiao Fei would be good for the role. She’s a professional singer, and she has also starred in a music video before..."

"That’s right, Director Ning, you know Xiao Fei, the singer who performed ’Princess’ at yesterday’s bar opening ceremony. I even showed you her MV before."

Ning Hao nodded briskly, "Xiao Fei would be fine, her MV confirms she is a remarkable singer, and also a very spirited actress."

But he quickly hesitated, "However, boss, regarding the role of the protagonist’s girlfriend, to be on the safe side, I’d like to see your chosen candidate beforehand?"

"I mean no offense, it’s just that since the role is quite significant, the final chosen actress must fit the character designed in the screenplay very closely."

Knowing Ning Hao is a Virgo with type A blood, a Virgo among Virgos, and understanding his pursuit of ultimate perfection in movies—which he greatly admired—Zhang Jingdong responded, "Of course, and don’t worry, if you find her unsuitable later, I’ll listen to you because I trust your professionalism."

This role was intended for Su Man by Zhang Jingdong, but even if Su Man wasn’t suitable later, it wasn’t a big deal; he could just have Ning Hao write a model role, or even let her play a passerby who appears for a second or two. Ultimately, as long as she appeared on the big screen, that was enough, as what she needed now was just to get recognized.

Hearing this, Ning Hao also felt relieved and sincerely said, "Boss, thank you for your understanding."

Zhang Jingdong casually smiled, "I’ve always believed in letting professionals handle their areas of expertise, and I respect professionalism one hundred percent."
