Chapter 372 Still Not Enough

Su Dong wants to save face.

If he didn't have to save face, he wouldn't be so stubborn.

It’s actually quite simple.

When a person is always successful, he tends to find it hard to let go.

Just like some big directors are still unwilling to admit that they are out of date even if their films fail.

Of course, because of their fame, they don’t have to worry about filming dramas.

But the dramas they shoot are no longer suitable for the market.

Such things are very common whether on Earth or on the planet Metastar.

Yu Xiaoshu has seen this a lot, so he doesn't care much. As I said, even for Su Qing's sake, Yu Xiaoshu won't be too resentful.

That's what he thought, but Su Qing didn't.

What annoyed him most was his father's personality.

Stubborn, paranoid, and unrepentant.

The first TV series should have been changed when it flopped, but as expected, nothing was changed at all. As a result, the second TV series flopped as expected.

And then what?

Both TV series failed, but he still doesn’t think it’s his fault.

To repeat, Su Dong felt that the market did not understand him.

It was not until Yu Xiaoshu made "Let the Bullets Fly" and it achieved box office success that Su Dong began to reflect.

The market has changed.

Or rather, it’s not the market that has changed, but rather the audience’s taste has changed.

In the past, audiences did not have high demands, but nowadays they no longer believe that you can succeed by simply finding some first-line actors or getting a lot of traffic.

Today's audiences are demanding.

Just like that, Su Dong was ready to have a chat with Yu Xiaoshu.

He wanted to ask Yu Xiaoshu, what do you think of the current market?

This is why Su Dong invited Yu Xiaoshu today.

He wanted to talk to Yu Xiaoshu.

However, what Su Dong did not expect was that Yu Xiaoshu actually brought his apprentice with him.

well.

So for a moment, Su Dong had some control over the situation.

Or in other words, some things are not convenient to say in front of the apprentice.

Then his daughter was the first one to not notice his appearance.

Su Qing said to Su Dong: "Dad, if you are still like this, I think we should leave."

"Okay, I understand."

Su Dong sighed at this time, and then he said to Yu Xiaoshu: "Xiaoshu, I still have to apologize to you. I have been very critical of you before. I have never wanted to admit my failure, so I always thought that your success in making movies was just luck, and my failure was due to the audience. Because of this, I refused to listen to any opinions and even drove Li Qing away. People around me kept flattering me, so I lost my mind for a while..."

really.

What Su Dong said was true.

He was not a person who could easily accept failure, let alone two TV series in a row. These two TV series could be said to have caused Su Dong to truly lose face, and it just so happened that these two TV series happened to coincide with Yu Xiaoshu.

Do you think Su Dong will be happy?

Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Su Dong had such a reaction.

Li Qing said hurriedly at this time: "Teacher, I..."

"Li Qing, please don't say anything. Since I have come to this point today, let me finish."

At this time, Su Dong waved his hand and said, "What I want to say is the same thing. That is, the teacher has always been optimistic about you, but this time the teacher was hit by failure and was unwilling to formally realize it, which led to the current situation..."

kindness.

Since Su Dong has apologized, he should apologize honestly and completely.

For Su Dong, he no longer cared about his so-called face at this time.

He was ready to tell the truth about his situation.

Now that I've talked about it, I feel refreshed.

That's right.

Su Dong felt that all this seemed to be nothing.

He felt relieved after he apologized.

"Xiao Shu, what I don't understand is why the market has suddenly become like this?"

Su Dong asked Yu Xiaoshu.

Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "Director Su, the market is now in the right shape. The market in the past two years has actually never been healthy. In the past two years, the box office and ratings were often inflated. Audiences are not picky most of the time. No matter what you shoot or what you act in, as long as they think it's about the same, they're willing to watch it..."

This is actually similar to those years on Earth.

In those years on Earth, as long as the movie was starred by a popular artist, no matter how bad it was, there would be one or two box office hits.

At that time, the box office seemed to be on the rise.

More often than not, bad money drives out good money.

Who still remembers these bad movies?

But those years were indeed good.

Who can you seek justice from?

Su Dong’s idea just now was actually not wrong.

That is, many times the box office is really related to the market.

But no matter what, the market is gradually recovering.

In a healthy market, scripts are king.

Where does the biggest problem of Sudong lie?

His biggest problem lies with the script.

The script written by Luo Yuan no longer meets the market demand, so how can it be successful?

The script is bad, it's a complete mess.

Yu Xiaoshu said to Su Dong, "Su Dong, there is nothing wrong with your ability as a director, and there is nothing wrong with your control over the TV series. Your problem lies in the script. Without a good script, it will be useless no matter how hard you try."

These words really made Su Dong feel like he had been enlightened.

In fact, Su Dong had never thought about the script.

He has blind confidence in himself. Not only is he blindly confident in himself, he is also confident in Luo Yuan.

These two are put together, what else can we say?

Su Dong looked at Yu Xiaoshu at this time: "Xiaoshu, do you have time recently? How about helping me write a script?"

"Director Su, it's not that I don't want to help you write, but I've been really busy lately. You know my next movie will be released during the Spring Festival, and the script for this one hasn't been finished yet. I really don't have time to write a script."

Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said, "More importantly, our Baiqian Media is currently filming several TV series, and my scriptwriting ability has been temporarily drained."

"Then I understand."

Su Dong nodded gently: "Let me think about it again."

"kindness."

Yu Xiaoshu didn't say anything more at this time.

He is indeed very busy now.

Actually, if you want to say he wants to write a script, Yu Xiaoshu actually does want to write one. He has two scripts that are quite suitable for Su Dong.

But how to say it? ?

Firstly, he didn't have time, and secondly, he didn't think Su Dong would be willing to use the script he wrote now.

How to say it? ?

Su Dong now seems to have realized his mistakes and feels that he is a little out of touch with the times, but Su Dong does not think that he is completely wrong.

As I said, people who fail don’t think there is anything wrong with them. They either think they are unlucky or they think they are missing an opportunity.

This is what Su Dong is like.

He is still one TV series away from flop.

For this reason, Yu Xiaoshu certainly would not really put aside his own affairs to help Su Dong at this time.

It’s better to do your own things yourself.

Yu Xiaoshu can only give some advice at most.

After dinner, Su Dong and Li Qing went back.

"Do you think Yu Xiaoshu is still angry with me?"

At this time, Su Dong frowned and said to his daughter.

Su Qing nodded gently: "Yes."

"Huh??? You figured it out?"

Su Dong was stunned.

Su Qing nodded gently: "Is this still hard to see? If Yu Xiaoshu really wanted to write a script for you, then how could he use being busy as an excuse? After all, he doesn't need to make this movie. He wrote this movie for Li Qing, so why doesn't he want to help you write the script?"

yes.

Why don't you want to help me write the script?

The reason is simple, he must be still angry with you.

Su Dong was a little angry after hearing his daughter's analysis: "I apologized to him, why is he still like this?"

"Dad, if you have this attitude, then I feel you will not get better."

Su Qing suddenly said angrily: "When will you let go of your arrogance and stubbornness?"

Su Dong said: "Why am I arrogant and stubborn? I am willing to have a good chat with Yu Xiaoshu, is that not okay?"

"Of course not."

Su Qing shook her head slightly and said, "Let me ask you, why should Yu Xiaoshu forgive you after you talked to him?"

Su Dong was stunned: "Huh?"

"I think you have been in your own circle for too long. You have forgotten the most basic way of dealing with people. It seems that as long as you say something, others have to listen. Just like Li Qing, you have always quarreled with Li Qing like a grandson. When Li Qing expressed a different opinion, you immediately became unhappy and even forced Li Qing to leave the company. Now you say you apologize to Li Qing, but what is the truth? Isn't it Li Qing who apologizes to you??? And if I were Yu Xiaoshu, I would not want to write a script for you. Do you dare to say that if Yu Xiaoshu writes a script for you, you will not change it? You will not raise objections? You will just use this script honestly???"

Su Qing seemed to be holding a lot of anger at this time, and then she said it all out.

I have to say, that’s quite right.

In fact, Su Dong really thought this way.

Simply put, Su Dong has not completely let go of this worry.

how? ?

You chatted with Yu Xiaoshu for a while, and then you felt like it was a big alms? ?

Stop it.

Why?

Why are you suitable to be given to Yu Xiaoshu?

You have to know that Yu Xiaoshu is the number one now.

It is precisely because of this that Su Qing is the one who can truly understand Yu Xiaoshu.

She had similar ideas to Yu Xiaoshu.

My father is just one more movie away from flop.

Su Dong was very angry.

He knew that his daughter was extrovert, but he didn't expect her to be so extroverted.

Good job.

Those who don’t know would think that their daughter has already married Yu Xiaoshu.

How can it be like this??

: "I'm your father, and you say that about me?"

Su Dong was so angry that he kept coughing.

"Dad, don't be angry. I'm not saying that to you. I'm just talking about the facts. I think you're still a little irrational right now, and you haven't really realized your mistakes."

Su Qing looked at Su Dong and sighed.

"What do you mean by not realizing my mistake? Didn't Yu Xiaoshu say that my mistake was in the script?"

Su Dong said unhappily: "Why? Am I not reflective enough?"

Su Qing nodded gently: "Of course I'm not reflective enough. If you were reflective, then when Yu Xiaoshu mentioned Luo Yuan, you wouldn't disagree?"

Su Dong was silent.

In fact, what Su Qing said was correct. In Su Dong's opinion, he could think that there was something wrong with the script, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with Luo Yuan.

He and Luo Yuan had created miracles together, and at that time the two of them cooperated very well.

If that's the case, then there's no need to talk about it now.

Now Su Dong has failed, and Luo Yuan's script has failed, but he does not think that there is any problem with Luo Yuan's ability.

Let me put it this way.

Su Dong didn't think there was anything wrong with Luo Yuan's ability. In fact, it had something to do with himself.

If he thinks there is a problem with Luo Yuan's script, he thinks that's fine, but you want him to think there is a problem with Luo Yuan's ability. If there is a problem with Luo Yuan's ability, then what about Su Dong's ability?

Therefore, it is impossible for Su Dong to overthrow himself in this way.

That's exactly the case. Su Dong actually really wants to work with Luo Yuan on another play.

People like them will never give up once they have decided on something.

In this case, what else do you think Yu Xiaoshu has to say to him?

Flop is not enough.

If you can just make one more flop, that'll be all.

I told Yu Xiaoshu openly that I realized my mistake and I felt that I should not have done that. I wanted to learn from you. But secretly I was still thinking about overthrowing Yu Xiaoshu. Not overthrowing him, but proving myself to Yu Xiaoshu.

kindness.

It's really different.

Su Qing looked at Su Dong and said, "How is it? Dad, am I right?"

Su Dong sighed: "Yes, you are right, but daughter, do you also think that Luo Yuan and I can't succeed?"

"You can't succeed, Dad. You have the ability, but Luo Yuan's screenwriting ability has deteriorated quite seriously. Over the past year or so, I have also been paying attention to Luo Yuan's works. Basically, to use Yu Xiaoshu's words, he has run out of ideas. For a person like this, what do you think you are trying to achieve by continuing to work with him?"

Su Qing said without hesitation: "I think you should wait for Yu Xiaoshu's next TV drama script, and then..."

"Okay, stop talking. I don't think I will lose."

Su Dong shook his head slightly: "We two old guys are old, but we won't make the same mistake for the third time."

"All right."

Su Qing stopped persuading him.

She now feels that her father is nothing and has failed enough.
