Chapter 3189 Participating in the Scriptwriting Competition

After reading the script outline written by Xiaobai and the others, Zhang Tan offered his own thoughts and suggestions.

"First, Dudu isn't 'afraid' to participate in the competition, but rather 'reluctant' to leave her mother. We could add a detail: while washing the dishes, her mother pats Dudu's head and says in sign language, 'Go to the competition, Mom can take care of things at home.' Dudu seems to want to say something, but swallows it back, showing her inner struggle. That would make it more realistic."

"Secondly, Mom secretly watches the rehearsals to strengthen 'silent support.' Even though she doesn't understand, she insists on watching Dudu's performance. Here, Mom can bring a small notebook and draw every movement and expression of Dudu. When she gets home, she can imitate the movements in the notebook, or even practice the movements in front of the mirror herself, trying to 'understand' her daughter's dream. This is more powerful than simply watching the rehearsals."

"Third, the ending doesn't have to be that Dudu wins the championship. We can have her perform 'Little Star Warriors' on stage, and when she gets to the part where 'the warriors hug their families,' she suddenly shouts 'Mommy' to the audience. Mommy, standing in the crowd, accurately performs the 'hug' gesture that Dudu taught her, and even takes out a little notebook full of gestures from her pocket, smiling at Dudu. All the children in the audience learn the sign language for 'starlight,' which better reflects the core of family members understanding each other and integrating into each other's worlds than a certificate."

Everyone's eyes lit up as they listened, and Xiaobai and Xier quickly took notes, their pens almost tearing through the paper.

Xiao Bai said, "Mr. Zhang, you're absolutely right! That's the most touching part of 'Miss Zhao's Family'!"

Chengcheng nodded: "It's not that the dream is so dazzling, but that your family is willing to bridge the silent distance for you!"

She glanced at Boss Zhang, her eyes sparkling, her little hands clenched tightly. Besides Xiaobai and Xier, she was also taking notes. She was also writing quickly down all three suggestions Boss Zhang made, and even added a few of her own thoughts at the time, writing several pages of densely packed notes.

Liuliu exclaimed, "Chengcheng really knows how to talk. She has a whole set of arguments that make perfect sense."

She's always been a fan of Chengcheng, and she can't change that.

Zhang Tan seemed to have remembered it by chance, and then added, "Oh right, there's one more suggestion, you should write it down too."

Xiaobai, Xier, and Chengcheng immediately opened their notebooks, which they had just closed, and prepared to take notes.

Mr. Zhang's ideas are as brilliant as gold.

“The story should include more characters, not just the mother. The father and brother should also be added. Ms. Zhao’s family already has hearing impairments, which is hard enough. They must be given a complete family so that the story has a warm undertone.”

Xiao Bai immediately echoed Mr. Zhang's idea: "Mr. Zhang, you're right! Miss Zhao can't be an orphan!"

Everyone agreed, and Robin, who had been relatively unknown, whispered, "Could we add another little sister?"

Liu Liu glanced at her and said nonchalantly, "Why do we need so many children!"

Robin clenched his little fists, making a purring sound like a dog in his throat, and stared at Liuliu with his eyes wide open.

Liu Liu didn't even glance at her. "If I can't control your aunt, I can control you, right?!"

Zhang Tan continued to discuss and revise the script with them. Overall, the core of the story was good, but the script lacked completeness. After all, Xiaobai and the others were just children who had not received systematic and professional writing training.

Finally, Zhang Tan asked them to continue revising and improving the document, and to show it to him when it was finished.

"Our company is currently holding its fifth annual scriptwriting competition. Once you've finished revising your scripts, you can choose to participate in the competition and maybe even win an award."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

Everyone cheered, full of fighting spirit and enthusiasm. For two consecutive days, apart from attending classes, they spent all their time discussing how to revise the script. Finally, on the third day, they submitted the script to Zhang Tan for review again.

Zhang Tan sat in his study, carefully reviewing the script. His girlfriends stood or sat, but all were careful not to make any noise that might disturb their boss's reading.

Finally, Zhang Tan put down the script, and everyone's eyes immediately turned to him, their gazes intense. Without asking, Zhang Tan knew what they were thinking.

Zhang Tan first picked up his teacup and took a sip of water before slowly saying, "Many details have been changed, the script is better now, I have no objections, it's approved!"

Cheers immediately erupted in the study.

Seeing how happy they were, Zhang Tan couldn't help but feel pleased. Young people are so energetic and full of vitality!

Suddenly, he felt something wet on his face and quickly dodged away, but it was too late; a loud laugh rang out as he ran off.

It's durian!

Zhang Tan covered his face and subconsciously looked at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai stopped laughing, staring at him in shock, then at Liu Liu, anger rising within her.

"Wife, you're finished!!!! I'm going to chop you up!"

That silly girl, Liuliu, actually dared to steal a kiss from her old man!

Although she always addressed him by his title at work, that doesn't change the fact that he's her husband. Now, her husband has been secretly kissed by Liuliu, and right in front of her! Who can tolerate this?!

"Robin, go get your carrot knife!"

Today, Xiaobai is going to have his first taste of meat.

The study was noisy, and Zhang Tan quickly slipped away, having been ambushed by Liu Liu.

After a while, Teacher Jiang pushed open the door and entered, and the group of girlfriends who had been making a ruckus finally stopped.

"Grandma Jiang! Help me—"

Liuliu cried out from the depths of her soul, as if Xiaobai was about to get serious and kill her.

Teacher Jiang's arrival saved Liu Liu's life. In addition, Liu Liu used the excuse that "if I die, there will be no lead actor in 'Miss Zhao's Family'" and her group of best friends pleaded for her, so Xiao Bai let her go.

……

"Who will press the send button?"

In front of the computer, Zhang Tan asked her group of girlfriends who were standing all around her.

"I'll come~"

Liuliu, not wanting to be outdone, tried to strike first, but was stopped by Xiaobai.

“Dudu, come here,” Xiaobai said. “This story is based on Dudu’s story, so Dudu should come.”

“Yes, Dudu, come here.” Xiaomi agreed, and Chengcheng nodded silently.

"Good~"

As soon as Miss Zhao finished speaking, her finger landed on the ENTER key and sent the email, so fast that no one could react in time.

Liu Liu lamented, "How could you just press it like that? We weren't even ready!"

"What else do we need to prepare?" Dudu asked, puzzled.

Liu Liu was speechless: "At least we should have a ceremony."

“Oh, let’s have another ceremony next time we make a movie,” Dudu said.

Liuliu was speechless.

Zhang Tan checked his email and saw that the email had been sent successfully.

"The email has been sent successfully. Now we just have to wait," Zhang Tan said.

He had previously suggested that Xiaobai and the others submit the script of "Miss Zhao's Family" to the 5th Scriptwriting Competition for evaluation. Everyone was very enthusiastic, and after revising the script, they urged Boss Zhang to help them register for the competition.

Because this scriptwriting competition was initiated and hosted by Little Red Horse Film and Television Company, in order to avoid being recognized by acquaintances, the creators did not use their real names, but used pen names, such as "Sailor Moon".

One advantage of using this unified name is that it is inclusive and can include anyone. Even a marginalized child like Robin can be considered part of "Sailor Moon" and is one of the creators.

If they win an award, Xiaobai can even bring all the members of Little Red Horse on stage and declare that they are all creators who contributed to the script.

Xiao Bai asked, "Boss Zhang, if we win an award, does that mean we can make a movie about it?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Tan with eager eyes.

Zhang Tan replied, "You will receive a prize money and will be given priority to be made into a movie, but that's uncertain."

Liu Liu was shocked: "So that means we might not even be able to make it into a movie?"

"That's possible," Zhang Tan said.

"That won't do!" Liu Liu firmly disagreed.

The other girls stared at Zhang Tan with indignant eyes, as if he were a liar.

Zhang Tan quickly offered them advice: "If you really win the award, I can invest part of it for you, and you can go to General Manager Yu for the other part."

There were a few inaccuracies in the previous chapter, which have been corrected. Also, the story in this script is not entirely based on Dudu's family situation. As Chengcheng said, the story is inspired by Dudu, but it's not entirely based on Dudu.

Also, this book already has 99 Alliance Leaders, just one short of 100 Alliance Leaders, what an amazing achievement! Thank you everyone!
