Chapter 458 The Dedication of N Unknown Screenwriters

The next day, when Xu Yue appeared in Hengdian, she was looking down at the script, reading it intently.

It wasn't until Ying Song reminded her that she looked up and realized that Shen Xuewei was standing in front of her.

She suddenly stood up and hugged Shen Xuewei.

He then took the opportunity to tickle Chen Xuewei's armpits, but she pushed him away in annoyance, at which point he gave a slightly sly smile.

"Didn't you say you were going to stay in Italy for a few more days? Why are you back so soon?"

Shen Xuewei took her seat and sat down, letting out a soft sigh.

"I'll talk to you tonight. Someone unexpected has shown up, so I don't want to stay there."

Xu Yue seemed to understand a bit. "Fine, you tell me properly tonight. I want to see who has offended you."

The director called Xu Yue's name, and Xu Yue took off her clothes and threw them on Shen Xuewei.

"I'm going to film a movie. You can sit here. If you feel sleepy, you can go to my dressing room to rest."

"Okay, I got it. Go ahead and don't dawdle."

Xu Yue has gone far away.

Shen Xuewei leaned back in her chair, watching the group of people filming. The warm sunlight was shining down, a little dazzling, and she subconsciously squinted.

A figure blocked the blinding light, and Shen Xuewei looked at that person, becoming drowsy.

When she woke up, there was no one else beside Xu Yue's assistant.

Shen Xuewei's gaze fell on a box of strawberries on the table in front of her.

She remembered that she hadn't seen this box when she arrived.

The assistant said, "Miss Shen, this box of strawberries was brought by Fang Shiyue. He said they've been washed and he wants you to eat them after you wake up, saying that eating something sweet will make you feel better."

Shen Xuewei opened the box, ate one, and asked, "Where is he?"

Are you referring to Fang Shiyue?

"Um."

"He was called away by the director to give instructions on the scene."

"knew."

...

That evening, Shen Xuewei squeezed into Xu Yue's room. The two girls lay on the sofa, putting on face masks and talking. Only then did Xu Yue understand why Shen Xuewei had returned so quickly.

"No way, your uncle actually came out early?"

Xu Yue straightened her back and sat up straight instantly, causing her face mask to fall off.

She hurriedly put the face mask back on her face and turned to the side to talk to Shen Xuewei.

"Weiwei, you're right not to see your uncle. He robbed and murdered people...it's so scary!"

“However, you go back to Yizhou every year for the New Year, so you might run into them sometime. I think you should bring Lao Peng and An Tang with you next time you go back for the New Year.”

"That way, even if we run into that dangerous guy, your uncle, we won't have to be afraid. By the way..."

She asked curiously, "Your uncle has been in prison for almost ten years. Do you think he still gambles now?"

Shen Xuewei couldn't be sure either. "Probably... never mind, I can't say for sure. But I think there's a high probability it will happen again. A leopard can't change its spots."

Xu Yue nudged her, "Then you have to remind Aunt Li and Aunt Lan not to let your uncle go to their house. They have money now, what if your uncle goes back to his old ways..."

The mask was pushed down a bit by her, and after she fixed it again, she moved away a little.

"You don't need to remind me, I already told them. They said they wouldn't tell my uncle their current address."

"That's good. Your uncle is like a ticking time bomb; you never know what he might do."

Shen Xuewei was also worried about this, so when her second aunt and the others went back to Xiaoli Village, she reminded them not to go back alone.

Chen Fangqiu hadn't been very polite to her older siblings before. After being in prison for over ten years, it's hard to say what might happen if her personality became even more stubborn and twisted.

Putting aside the matter of Chen Fangqiu's return, the two of them put on face masks, and after Xu Yue finished showering, she directed and acted in front of the full-length mirror.

Shen Xuewei was already used to it, and skillfully plugged her ears with earplugs, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.

I spent about half a month in Hengdian this time.

After finishing what Xiang Guoping was doing, she flew to the capital to find him.

The film he directed, "A Chance Encounter with You," was completed last September. Post-production work, including editing and music, has been finished and submitted for review.

If all goes well, we should be able to get the license soon, and then we can discuss a suitable time to go live with the platform.

Xu Yue, as the lead actress in this drama, has completely turned her career around. Recently, a TV station has expressed interest in buying her drama, and it might even be broadcast on satellite TV. Everything is going well.

Upon learning that she had arrived in the capital, Xiang Guoping was eager to see her, precisely because of the script for the Longevity Diagram she possessed.

He wanted to film the Longevity Scroll a few years ago, but at that time, the dramas he filmed... well, let's not talk about that for now.

In short, after all the twists and turns, the Longevity Scroll still ended up in his hands.

However, he also had a question... Looking at the smiling and easy-going Shen Xuewei in front of him, he wanted to ask her this question.

"Mr. Shen, several film and television companies have tried to buy the rights to this novel, but they just won't sell it. What do you say about the author?"

Shen Xuewei looked at him, sized him up, and had an idea of ​​her own.

"Want to know?"

Xiang Guoping nodded sincerely.

"Okay, I'll tell you. But there's something I also want to discuss with you..."

A week later, upon learning that the author was Shen Xuewei herself and that he had been tricked into signing a contract as a director with Tide Media, Xiang Guoping realized something was wrong.

How did he end up getting himself involved?

Seeing him standing there in a daze, Shen Xuewei said, "Alright, Lao Xiang, don't think so much. You won't lose out by signing with our company. Besides, didn't Sister Meng say that she'll come to Chaoxi Media after she gets out of prison?"

"Then you two, husband and wife, will work together without feeling tired. If the film you direct meets the company's expectations, you'll get your share of the profits. Where else can you find a company with such good benefits..."

Xiang Guoping's wife is named Yu Meng, and she is a fairly well-known original screenwriter.

The couple has been working together on TV dramas for over ten years, averaging one every two to three years, mainly focusing on period dramas and historical dramas.

The husband-and-wife team was doing very well.

However, Yu Meng was imprisoned for fraud several years ago.

Who was being scammed? Yu Meng's brother.

As for why she scammed her brother, that's a long story.

Anyway, when their parents passed away, they didn't leave Yu Meng a single penny of inheritance. In fact, the money she had with the old couple was given to her brother as inheritance.

There was no way she could get the money back once it was in her brother's pocket, so she resorted to other methods.

She deliberately arranged for a friend to approach her brother, claiming there was a money-making project and that she could help him make money, hoping to get her money back.

In the end, the friend absconded with the money, turning the fake scam into a real one... and Yu Meng ended up behind bars.

Next year, Yu Meng will be released from prison, and Xiang Guoping's backer will also return.

The couple will both work at Tide Media, which guarantees them acting opportunities every year and respects their creative work. Why wouldn't they want that?

As for whether Yu Meng's future screenwriting works will be boycotted... they have also thought of this. In short, the script will be written by Yu Meng, but she will not be credited.

This kind of thing isn't the first time it's happened in the industry.

Some dramas may seem to have one screenwriter, but in reality, they involve the efforts of many unknown screenwriters.
