Superstars of Tomorrow

Joseph sat there silently, the arrogance in his heart subsided a lot.

In fact, it wasn't those shorthand fonts that hit him. Although seeing those shorthands that he didn't understand at all did make him feel frustrated, the bigger blow was those books!

Nearly a hundred books, within three months, I have read all of them!

He still has the ability to judge whether he is fooling people. Even if he can't read the notes, he can tell that the person who took the notes and marked them not only didn't flip through the book randomly, but also read it very seriously. The underlining of the paragraphs, the notes and remarks in the blank areas all indicate that each book is carefully read and memorized!

What a speed!

Of course, reading fast doesn't mean anything, it mainly depends on Fang Zhao's ability.

Thinking back on all the information about Fang Zhao that he had investigated, Joseph felt that it was better for him to keep silent.

It's impolite to sit there and stare at people all the time, and it's not good for Joseph to keep staring at Fang Zhao's research, so he stared at the bookshelf. He wanted to think about some problems, but when he thought about it, he became dazed.

After hearing the sound of closing the book over there, Joseph came back to his senses, with a polite smile on his face again.

Fang Zhao put the notebook in the drawer, looked at Joseph, "Wait a while."

"No, no, I interrupted." Joseph was much more humble this time than at the beginning. In any case, Fang Zhao is worthy of admiration.

Joseph saw that Fang Zhao was not in a hurry, so he didn't get straight to the point, but took out the thickest book on history from the shelf, "I have a question for Mr. Fang, are the notes on it shorthand? "

"Yes." Fang Zhao said jokingly, "This is a shorthand I invented myself——Fang's Kuangcao, a stroke of writing."

In fact, it is not considered cursive script, but gradually transformed from cursive script. Some complicated words in it will be replaced by other symbols, and then it will become Fang Zhao's own shorthand method, basically writing a sentence in one stroke.

Take notes, as long as you know it yourself, you will use this method when you write for yourself, and you will use the text that everyone understands for others.

Just like when Fang Zhao created his own works, he used his own notation for the manuscripts, and only converted to the current notation for others to read.

When the century was destroyed, this shorthand method was often used when writing strategic analysis and personal notes. Fang Zhao would be destroyed in time when it was no longer needed. people.

It is also because of this that the so-called "notes of great men" displayed in the New Century Memorial Hall are actually not personal things, they can be shown to others, there is no secret, and of course they are not "Fang's crazy grass".

But now there is no need to write it down and destroy it. There are no strategic secrets related to the survival of the team that need to be kept. It's just that the habit has been preserved. When Fang calls out missions, he has relatively short free time. This shorthand method saves time and trouble.

Moreover, it may be because of the change in physique that Fang Zhao is now reading faster and faster, and the thoughts in his head are also faster. In order to save time to the greatest extent, he can write out the thoughts in his head, whether it is in combat mode or non-combat mode, It is most appropriate to use this shorthand method of "a single stroke of writing".

All the shorthand notes from the Mie Century period were destroyed, so now Fang Zhao is not afraid of being discovered.

"I see." Sure enough, it was shorthand.

"Have you seen all these?" Joseph asked seemingly unintentionally.

"Yes, I've almost finished reading these." Fang Zhao recalled. In fact, there are more than ten books. I saw that the bookshelf was too full yesterday. When I cleaned the bookshelves, I put them in other places to make room for newly printed books. But there is no need to say these Fang Zhao.

"I didn't expect Mr. Fang to read so many books while serving in the military." Joseph said with emotion, "I finally know why you know so much after being a composer."

Fang Zhao originally wanted to say "live and learn", but he held back before he could say it. It's not appropriate to say this now.

Seeing that Fang Zhao wasn't proud of this matter, and didn't even have any other unnecessary emotions, Joseph didn't mention it anymore, his face straightened, and he stated the purpose of coming today.

"I wonder if Mr. Fang knows about the super film and television project that will soon be restarted?" Joseph asked.

"I heard." Fang Zhao nodded.

"Although it has not been officially announced, some entertainment companies in various continents have received news of the restart. The restart is indeed a fact. As one of the investors and producers, our Star Fund has the right to nominate."

Joseph observed Fang Zhao indiscriminately, and did not see a hint of urgency, eagerness, or excitement from Fang Zhao's face. Fang Zhao still maintained the posture of listening carefully as before.

"Mr. Fang, you signed a contract with Silver Wing Media. As a member of the advisory group of "Red Beauty" and "Warring States", you should know that an advisory group is essential for historical dramas. We are also interested in the two historical dramas produced by Silver Wing. I have seen that the quality is really high, and the advisory group is very strong. Today, on behalf of our Juxing Fund, I extend an invitation to you, Mr. Fang, and hope that you can become a member of the advisory group for the upcoming super film and television project.”

Before Joseph received this task, he actually didn't understand why the higher-ups would look at the Chinese call. As a member of the film and television project team, Joseph naturally knew what was going on with that super film and television project.

Although this project was proposed a long time ago, it has not been able to be filmed because the various parties who paid for the production have been arguing.

Like Juxing Fund, there are more than a dozen investment and production parties, all of which are famous from all continents. They have been arguing until now. You can’t understand me as an actor, and I can’t understand you. The script is also noisy. This means that you are fictional , slander, those words are too exaggerated, easy to attract black people, the script has also been revised for many years, there are too many disputes, and it has been shelved until now.

Today, Juxing Fund has increased its investment in this project, contacted other investment producers, and decided to restart this project. The first thing to do is to assemble the advisory group.

As a super film and television project, the advisory group is naturally very large. It can be said that the number and strength of the advisory group this time are incomparable to those of the previous film and television dramas, and may not even be able to compare with it for many years to come. Historical Drama Advisory Group.

Each investor has its own approved consultants, and Juxing Fund has also proposed a number of experts and professors in the circle who have studied the history of the century.

After an episode of the highly popular historical drama "Beauty" and "Warring States" is aired, many people don't pay attention to the densely packed subtitles at the end of the film, but the people from the Juxingji film and television project team paid attention to it.

In many historical dramas, the so-called historical consultants are just a name, and they are forced to go over to support the facade. They withdraw after a few meals and chat, and their role is almost zero. Maybe those named consultants haven't even read the script, so there are many dramas with loose settings, which is also a loss of reputation for those named consultants. However, many historical consultants don't care about their reputation, they care more about how much money they can get, and they just need to get the money, and they are happy to relax if they are not needed by the director.

However, "Red Beauty" that has already been broadcast and "Warring States" that is currently on the air, once these two dramas are released, everyone can see the quality. , That's why Juxing Fund attaches great importance to the advisory group on the end credits.

Fang Zhao had been staring at this super film and television project, and naturally he would not refuse the invitation.

Talked to Joseph about the contract and signed a non-disclosure agreement. What needs to be kept secret is not the signing of the advisory group, but the content of the script that will be received later.

The script has not been finalized yet, and the consultant team needs to check the pulse. It will probably wait until the script is finalized before announcing the restart of the project.

After signing the contract, Fang Zhao asked, "Who are the members of the advisory group that have been invited?"

Now that the contract has been signed and everyone is a cooperative relationship, Joseph does not need to keep it secret, so he will show Fang Zhao the list that has been included in the advisory group long ago, "These are already confirmed, and there may be some new ones like you now." Those invited to enter have not yet registered, and the list is incomplete.”

Even though the list was incomplete, Fang Zhao knew what a super film and television project advisory group was at a glance. Such a strong lineup was incomparable to those previous dramas.

The Chief History Adviser is the dean of the Academy of Social Sciences. He is a highly respected master of cultural research. The names behind include members of the Institute of Archeology and History, and winners of literary awards. They are all well-known masters of literature, history and art.

Why did Fang Zhao know about them?

One-third of the history-related books on the bookshelves are written by these people!

Just by looking at these names, you can tell that it is definitely a high-level drama.

For this super film and television project that has been restarted, if the list of advisors is released, this lineup will make the entire film and television circle tremble!

Looking at these names, it stands to reason that Fang Zhao, who is not a history major, is not included in the invitation. In terms of consultants, Fang Zhao's current status is far inferior to those who have already become famous.

But Fang Zhao has strong "actual combat" experience, members of the advisory group for "The Beauty" and "Warring States", members of the regional architectural design team of the Silver Wing of the film and television city, and members of the advisory group for "Battle of the Century" in Flamingo, all of which are placed on display. The example in front of you can't be fake!

The most important thing is Flamingo's "Battle of the Century", which is the real background of the eradication of the century. Fang Zhao gave a lot of pertinent suggestions.

For investors, Fang Zhao's resume is no less valuable than some literary awards.

It is also because of this that the Juxing Foundation sent Joseph to invite Fang Zhao.

I'm afraid Duan Qianji himself didn't expect that the two carefully produced historical dramas, the actors have not been registered with the investors, and the historical consultants have been targeted first.

The task has been completed, and Joseph will not stay at the post for a long time, intending to leave.

"Wait a moment." Fang Zhao stopped Joseph who got up and was about to leave.

"Mr. Fang still has questions?" Joseph wondered.

"Has the actor been confirmed?" Fang Zhao asked.

"Not yet, we have to wait until the script is finalized to solve the problem of actors." Joseph thought that Fang Zhao was inquiring for Yin Wing, and he didn't feel it was strange, "In this play, the important supporting roles and the protagonists all need to be recognized by multiple parties, and then The final decision is made by voting, it depends on how each company operates, I don’t know about those, but one thing I can be sure of, those who are not well-known have no chance.”

The "fame" Joseph mentioned is not just the fame of a certain continent, but a global perspective.

"Thank you." Fang Zhao said.

"You're welcome, by the way," Joseph thought of something, turned around and called out to the other party, "Mr. Fang is very talented in composing music. I have also heard the scene music in the two dramas released by Silver Wing. It is very good and I am looking forward to it." You can hear more of Mr. Fang's works in the later dramas."

After speaking, Joseph smiled politely and left.

What he said meant to tell Fang Zhao that if you ask your company to help you operate it, stir it up, and expand your popularity, you might be able to be favored by the people in charge of Juxing Fund. After all, no matter how super film and television projects are, they also need various scene music. The beginning and end of the credits must not be Fang Zhao's turn. Fang Zhao is not qualified yet, but the short scene music in it is Fang Zhao's opportunity.

Of course Fang Zhao understood what Joseph meant, but he had his own plans and would not follow Joseph's suggestion, but he also thanked Joseph for his kind reminder.

After Joseph left, Fang Zhao looked at an invitation letter on the table. After scanning with a personal terminal, you will get permission to enter a discussion group of an advisory group, which is convenient for management.

After Fang Zhao went in, he received some electronic documents, which had nothing to do with the script, but something to remind the new consultants to pay attention to, and to help the new consultants adjust their mentality.

As a consultant, you can't just don't ask, you can't just ask, and you can't just ignore. Film and television dramas are not historical documentaries, so they naturally have their artistic aspects. This is to remind some ignorant consultants where to start and from which angle to think about the problem.

Historical drama, it is first of all drama rather than history, it is expressed in the form of audio-visual art, and its materials come from life and are higher than life. As an audio-visual art, such a large investment naturally needs to be able to resonate with the audience. In order to have greater returns, but in addition to being artistic, it cannot lack authenticity in some key places.

After reading those documents, Fang Zhao knew what to expect. Now that he was invited in, that is to say, he had to register first, and then the content of the script would be divided.

Just as he was thinking about what the script would tell, Fang Zhao received a call from Xue Jing.

Music artist Xue Jing, who has finished his global lecture tour, also saw the video of the mobilization meeting of the Baijixing Military Region today, and saw the part of the commendation.

However, Mr. Xue called to show concern, and was also worried that Fang Zhao would go astray. What if Fang Zhao decided to stay in the army to develop?

Xue Jing still hopes that Fang Zhao can have a higher pursuit in music art, and hopes that Fang Zhao can go further on this road and get more people's recognition, especially the picky academic group. If Fang Zhao doesn't go up, the academy faction will always judge Fang Zhao as a "low-end route".

"I'm on a mission during the day, and I'll compose it after returning to the outpost. I'm currently composing a piece of scene music for the creation of "Warring States." Fang Zhao talked about the daily things.

Xue Jingwen said that the worry on his face was less, and his smile deepened, "This is very good, and the ancient style scenes and music in "The Beauty" and "Warring States" are also very good. I have seen your works, keep it up, with your current After the service is over, you can plan your personal performance."

"I think so too."

Xue Jing was very happy with Fang Zhao's answer, and chatted about music, and told Fang Zhao to pay attention to safety before disconnecting from the communication.

After talking with Xue Jing, Fang Zhao thought for a while and dialed a number.

Yanzhou Military Region General Hospital, Yan Biao is undergoing reexamination. He has already installed a prosthetic, which is a very expensive one. He is satisfied with the flexibility and practicality. Almost all the retirement pay and bonuses are spent on it. If it weren't for a veteran with military merits, enjoy With exceptionally generous treatment and a lot of discounts, he absolutely couldn't afford this kind of prosthetic with his retirement pay.

Yan Biao was surprised when he received a call from Fang Zhao. He has been in contact with Fang Zhao all the time, but it's just text messages. After nearly half a year of treatment and rehabilitation training, his body has recovered. He probably has expectations for the future. He has a good mentality. Recovery came sooner than he expected.

When he sent a message to Fang Zhao last week, he said that he has been discharged from the hospital, his body has been adjusted to the best condition, and he can start work at any time. Today I just came to the hospital for a re-examination, and the re-examination results are also very good.

After reading Yan Biao's re-examination results today, he was sure there was no problem, Fang Zhao said, "Get ready to start work."

Yan Biao's spirit was shaken, his eyes flashed with anticipation, "I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"

After carefully listening to Fang Zhao's instructions, Yan Biao stood at the door of the hospital, looked at the sky, and took a deep breath after finishing the call. It's time for him to work!

However, until then...

Yan Biao lifted his trouser leg, looked at his metallic gray mechanical calf, and hesitated.

It's his first job after retiring from the army. In order to give people a better impression, should he gild his legs? Or silver plated? Or a more understated complexion?
