Chapter 298
The incident started when Wu Junxiao posted a post this morning. It was a simple post @Tang Songhe: "I thought you were a well-respected, talented, and well-educated teacher and screenwriter, but I didn't expect you to be a rat in the gutter, doing some shameful things! You dare to steal my things? Don't even dream of it!"
The text above insults people, while the picture below directly discloses the script he wrote.
This script was the "homework" assigned to him by Tang Songhe before.
Wu Junxiao had just joined Shenghai and was initially mentored by a very nice senior. When he called home, he mentioned this senior to his parents. He was very happy and said that he had made the right decision and that he should go out and try his luck. He had really learned a lot in such a short time.
Not long after, the senior said he wanted to introduce him to Tang Songhe: "I think your small homework is very good, so I showed it to Teacher Tang, and he admired you very much."
Wu Junxiao was very happy. He had heard of Tang Songhe's name a long time ago. A large part of the reason he sent his resume to Shenghai Entertainment was because Tang Songhe was here.
After meeting Tang Songhe, Wu Junxiao felt that he was really as approachable and amiable as the rumors said. When Tang Songhe said he wanted to take him in as his apprentice, he immediately nodded and agreed.
After work in the evening, I called home excitedly and told my parents the good news.
But Wu Hongji and Ao Jun were not as happy for him as he imagined. Instead, they asked him a question: "Son, did you follow the traditional ceremony of becoming a disciple?"
Wu Junxiao thought his parents were too old-fashioned at the time: "What era is it now? Are they still into that? Isn't it settled if I call you Master?"
It is said that Tang Songhe has always been like this when accepting disciples.
"That's good." Wu Hongji and Ao Jun were relieved.
After the bird lovers' gathering that day, Ao Jun called Wu Junxiao as soon as she got home and told him what Liu Wangxue had said to her.
"I know," Wu Junxiao said, "You have to be on guard against others, don't worry."
Wu Junxiao was very obedient in this regard. He was on guard, but he was on guard against people other than Tang Songhe.
The subject matter of the script was given by Tang Songhe, and he had to check it from time to time, not to mention that Wu Junxiao also called him "Master". With his status and level in the industry, Wu Junxiao would never have thought that he would covet his creation.
Until the contract to buy out the copyright was placed in front of Wu Junxiao.
Wu Junxiao was in disbelief.
At that moment, he seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up, and all his previous doubts were automatically connected together, and he suddenly understood everything.
Wu Junxiao felt something was wrong during the first few days he stayed with Tang Songhe.
He studied literature in college, not drama, and after getting involved in this field, he needed to relearn a lot of things. Perhaps this is where his talent lies. He absorbs and digests knowledge very quickly, and can use it immediately after learning. It didn't take long for Tang Song and the half-jar level to satisfy him at all.
Whenever Wu Junxiao asked Tang Songhe questions that were a little difficult, Tang Songhe would change the subject without leaving a trace. After so many times, Wu Junxiao naturally became suspicious and secretly asked the senior who had guided him when he first joined the company.
The senior said: "This is Teacher Tang's teaching method. He is enlightening you. Whether you can understand it depends on your own understanding."
Wu Junxiao's doubts did not last long, as Zou Zhuoming came to invite Tang Songhe to join the crew to take over the adaptation of Wu Hongji's novel.
After joining the crew and having a meeting with the screenwriters and the investors, Tang Songhe did not make any suggestions on the adaptation, but directly pushed Wu Junxiao forward: "This is just a small job, there is no need for me to do it myself. Xiaoxiao is my new apprentice, and he is one of the best among the younger generation in terms of ability. Let him have a try first."
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the screenwriters and investors present immediately turned ugly. The screenwriters thought that Tang Songhe looked down on them and wanted to use a rookie to slap them in the face. The investors thought that Tang Songhe had never accepted an adaptation before, and this time he was forced to come, and he was probably holding back his anger and wanted to slap them in the face.
However, due to face-saving reasons, everyone did not quarrel on the spot. Instead, they complimented Tang Songhe and praised Wu Junxiao as a young talent.
Wu Junxiao had never met such a sincere old fox in acting, so he took the compliment as real, and was also grateful to Tang Songhe for giving him this opportunity.
Wu Junxiao has read all his father's novels. Wu Hongji started preparing for this book "Nightmare Pursuit" when Wu Junxiao was just entering the third year of high school. In the summer vacation after Wu Junxiao finished the college entrance examination, the book was more than half completed.
Wu Junxiao remembered that his father encountered a bottleneck when he was writing the second half of the story. No matter how he wrote it, it didn't feel right. He couldn't eat or sleep well all day long because he was thinking about this. At that time, he really wanted to see what kind of story could torture his father like this.
When Wu Hongji handed him the computer, he joked, "Take a look. When you finish reading it, give your dad some suggestions. Maybe I'll get some inspiration."
After reading it, Wu Junxiao actually had some insights of his own, and sat with his father to discuss it for a whole afternoon.
When the book was published, Wu Hongji's loyal readers discovered that after many years, Mr. Wu's son finally appeared in his book again. This time it was not in "Funny Stories" and "Parenting", but he was written in the creative remarks as the one being thanked.
Especially those readers who learned how to raise children by following Teacher Wu’s “Parenting Series” back then, suddenly realized that time really flies and will never come back.
So this book is also mixed with some of these emotions, and everyone has very high expectations for the adaptation. Several investors are also old fans of the book, so they are naturally strict in their review.
Adaptation is a difficult task for the screenwriters in the crew, but it is nothing for Wu Junxiao. After all, he participated in part of the creation of this book back then.
He acted quickly, and within a few days he had adapted the middle section that had troubled the screenwriters and dissatisfied the investors. It was passed unanimously, and the filming of the crew was able to proceed smoothly.
However, what is strange is that the screenwriters, investors, directors and actors all expressed their gratitude to Tang Songhe, and he accepted all the praises without hesitation.
The more Wu Junxiao listened, the more confused he became. Especially after hearing the sentence "Thanks to your guidance, you taught me well", he wondered, what did Tang Songhe teach him? What did he teach him? He wrote all the scripts for these episodes by himself, word by word!
Tang Songhe said to him at the beginning, "Just do it, don't worry about anything, I believe you", and then he didn't care about anything, nor did he ask anything! How could he have the nerve? Wu Junxiao was not stupid, and from that moment on, he re-examined Tang Songhe.
But Tang Songhe looked as if he had a clear conscience. He found a time to transfer all the deposit given by the drama party to Wu Junxiao. He told him a bunch of specious principles and asked him to work hard, and the subsequent balance would also be his.
After receiving the money, Wu Junxiao did not use it immediately, perhaps because of the filter, and just kept his doubts in his heart.
