Chapter 113 Tell a story and create an idiom (guaranteed subscription)
At the beginning, when Judy and Yu Xiaoshu were talking, they didn't even discuss the profits.
After all, the conditions proposed by Yu Xiaoshu were too harsh.
Only a screenwriter contract was signed, which is not a full-type contract, and it is only for online dramas and TV series. Apart from that, Yu Xiaoshu is not restricted in cooperating with other film and television companies, etc.
These are far beyond the treatment of a platinum screenwriter.
Naturally, Judy couldn't agree to it at the time.
But who would have thought that Yu Xiaoshu's next work, "The Undocumented Crime", would be another phenomenal work.
Since the finale on April 2, it has quickly become popular in just 3 days, and its reputation has further soared.
Even the TV series "No One Tells Me" far surpasses it.
First play "I Am Li Xiaobao", then fight "No Evidence".
For Judy, both "I Am Li Xiaobao" and "No One Tells the Truth" are far better than "The Undocumented Crime".
As a result, "I Am Li Xiaobao" was cut short, and the rating of "No Evidence" further dropped because of Fan Meili's plot, and only "The Undocumented Crime" had the last laugh.
If Judy had been able to sign Yu Xiaoshu back then.
Then, Xiaoma Entertainment will have a powerful weapon in hand.
In the past few days, Judy has been reflecting on herself, and she also regretted that she obviously valued Yu Xiaoshu so much, so why didn't she take a desperate measure once?
He had reported this to the company's boss just yesterday. His visit to Yu Xiaoshu today was not a coincidence as he said, but was deliberate.
"Teacher Yu, we are willing to sign only your screenwriter contract. Just like you said last time, the screenwriter contract does not include all types of contracts. We only sign online dramas and TV dramas. Not only that, at Xiaoma Entertainment, we will give you the most relaxed conditions. We will not interfere with any of your scripts. At the same time, we can split the commission of the agency contract 90%..."
After Judy told Yu Xiaoshu everything she could do, she said, "Teacher Yu, do you think our Xiaoma Entertainment still has a chance?"
"Thank you Director Zhu for your appreciation, but I have not yet decided to leave Baiqian Media. I promise you that if I really want to leave Baiqian Media, I will definitely give priority to Xiaoma Entertainment."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile.
"That's fine, but I hope we can work together more in the future. The artists under my company are both cheap and dedicated."
Judy did not insist, and she did not leave immediately like Wu Hai when she heard there was no chance. On the contrary, Judy talked to Yu Xiaoshu about cooperation again.
Apart from anything else, just from this aspect, Judy is really qualified as the artist director of Pony Entertainment.
Yu Xiaoshu also said, "Okay, Director Zhu, we will definitely cooperate in the future. By the way, can you send me a copy of your artist information? I have a drama coming up and I'll see if there's anything suitable."
Judy was stunned: "Teacher Yu, you have a work so soon?"
"The script is just a prototype for now."
Yu Xiaoshu didn't say too much: "But it's hard to say whether it can be realized."
"That's fine, Mr. Yu. I'll go back and sort out the information of my artists and send it to your email later. I won't bother you anymore."
Judy glanced at the time and stood up and said, "You continue to put on your makeup."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "Okay."
Next, the makeup artist continued to put makeup on Yu Xiaoshu.
15 minutes later, You Xiangxue brought back another interview manuscript.
At the beginning, the theme was based on the two online dramas "The Undocumented Crime" and "I Am Yu Huanshui", but now it starts with Yu Xiaoshu's three years of decadence and divorce.
"no problem."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "But I must grasp the degree, and don't give the audience the impression that I am actively talking about this matter for hype."
"Teacher Yu, don't worry about this, it won't happen."
You Xiangxue said hurriedly: "We will still focus on the work."
Yu Xiaoshu said, "That's good."
Next, the recording officially begins.
"Everyone, welcome to the new episode of Discovery. I am the host You Xiangxue. I believe many people are familiar with the guest we invited today. At the beginning, many people said that he was a child of destiny because he raised the ceiling of screenwriters with his own efforts and became the youngest screenwriter. But more people said that he was wasting his talent and was overrated. After all, he did not publish a single work in three years and also experienced divorce and resignation..."
On the stage, You Xiangxue said calmly, "Let us welcome this episode of Discovery's guest, Yu Xiaoshu."
As soon as he finished speaking, applause broke out.
Yu Xiaoshu walked onto the stage slowly and leisurely.
"Hello, Mr. Yu, please say hello to our audience first."
You Xiangxue and Yu Xiaoshu shook hands and smiled.
"Hello everyone, I am Yu Xiaoshu."
Yu Xiaoshu simply greeted him.
"Let's sit down and talk."
You Xiangxue gestured to Yu Xiaoshu to sit down, and then the interview officially began.
Yu Xiaoshu told a story when talking about why he had no works for the first three years.
It is said that there was a man named Jiang Yan in ancient times. His father died when he was young and his family was very poor. He often had to go up the mountain to chop firewood and sell it to support his mother. In such a difficult environment, Jiang Yan still studied very hard. After years of study, he wrote good poems and became a famous writer at that time.
And because his success attracted the attention of government officials, he began to study in the government. But in his later years, his talent declined and the poems he wrote were mediocre.
In the past, when he wrote, his thoughts flowed like a flood and he wrote like a god. But now his writing is not as good as before. He often picks up the pen and ponders for a long time but can't write a single word.
…
Yu Xiaoshu finished the story with a smile: "There was also a rumor at the time that Jiang Yan was given a pen by a great writer, and then he dreamed that the writer wanted to take the pen back, so he could no longer write. Then, many people who knew Jiang Yan said that Jiang Yan's talent had been exhausted."
This story is called Jiang Lang's Talent Has Run Out.
Yuanxing doesn't have this word, so if Yu Xiaoshu says that he has run out of ideas, it would feel weird.
A few days ago, when Yu Xiaoshu said this word to Gu Tianqi, Gu Tianqi asked directly: "Who is Jiang Lang?"
Well, today I would like to take this opportunity to tell you this story during this interview.
"So, I was running out of ideas. At first, I was good at writing youth-themed TV series because I was in school, but after graduation, I failed in writing urban dramas because I lacked some experience."
Yu Xiaoshu said calmly: "In the past three years, although I have no works and I have a lot of information to be responsible for, I have actually been learning and accumulating knowledge silently, because what I lack most is experience. In the past three years, I have experienced the warmth and coldness of human nature. They were friends one second and drew a clear line with me the next second. I also understand that only when you encounter something, you will know whether the person next to you is a human or a ghost. All of this has given me the accumulation of creation..."
Finally, Yu Xiaoshu naturally talked about the creation of "I Am Yu Huanshui".
He thinks he is another Yu Huanshui.
Divorce, unemployment, being cheated by friends, etc.
At the scene, many people seemed to have returned to the state of mind when they were watching "I Am Yu Huanshui".
It's so miserable.
Yu Huanshui, as a middle-aged office worker, is very miserable, and Yu Xiaoshu, who created this work, is naturally even more miserable.
"Fortunately, Mr. Yu, you have now come out of your lack of talent. And I think after our program is broadcast, 'lack of talent' will probably become a hot search term."
You Xiangxue looked at Yu Xiaoshu with deep admiration and said, "You have created an idiom."
The audience present was equally impressed.
"Yu Xiaoshu is really talented."
"Who says it's not? Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted, Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted, this phrase will definitely become popular."
"I think Yu Xiaoshu is telling us that if we fail, we should not give up on ourselves, but quietly enrich ourselves."
…
The other audience members also continued to listen to the interview with Yu Xiaoshu on the stage while whispering.
"I didn't create this idiom. I just heard people mention it occasionally."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "I just hope that everyone can keep a normal mind at all times, not get cocky when successful, and not get arrogant when failed. As long as you work hard and work hard, you will always succeed."
kindness.
Yu Xiaoshu will first give you some chicken soup.
Anyway, he succeeded, and everything he said was right.
The next natural thing is to mention the currently popular "The Undocumented Crime".
"Teacher Yu, we have all been frightened by the character Li Toyota recently. Let's take a look at the big screen."
You Xiangxue has made sufficient preparations for today's talk show.
On the big screen, first there was a one-minute clip of Li Toyota beating someone in the movie "The Undocumented", and then there were screenshots of many hot searches on the Internet.
"After the finale of The Undocumented Crime that night, the character Li Fengtian became a hot topic, and he was no less abused than previous villains. Many people were afraid of Li Fengtian, but at the same time they admired the acting skills of Feng Jie, who played him."
While the big screen was showing it, You Xiangxue asked Yu Xiaoshu, "So, Mr. Yu, what were you thinking when you created this character? What kind of person do you think Li Fengtian is?"
"I've seen a lot of analysis on Douhu about the character Li Fengtian. I think it's basically the same as what I think. He's a low-class person with a low level of education. He has a fierce look in his eyes and doesn't talk much. Most murderers are like Li Fengtian, who suddenly kills people. However, there aren't many who kill people like Li Fengtian, as easy as cutting vegetables."
Yu Xiaoshu pondered for a moment and said, "In fact, if you watch the drama carefully, I think Li Fengtian in the drama cannot be viewed from a secular perspective. He is the bastard of an old fortune teller who tells the dead. Later, he worked as a cremator in a funeral home for a long time. In addition, he collected debts for others. He is completely isolated from the world..."
Many people have analyzed these words.
Yu Xiaoshu also stopped at the right point, and then he gave great recognition to Feng Jie on the show.
"I said during the live broadcast of the press conference that the success of this character is related to the setting, but the more important reason is Teacher Feng Jie. Let me tell you a little anecdote."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "At first, I wanted to invite Shao Jian to play Li Toyota. We had already communicated, and then I left the script and came to Dongyang, but I didn't expect Shao Jian to reject me and stand me up..."
Yu Xiaoshu is not a person who holds grudges, but he will continue to stab Shao Jian on every occasion.
Just let yourself down.
Later he wanted to step on me to get to the top.
What are you waiting for if you don't trample it to death?
After talking about Shao Jian's lack of artistic ethics, Yu Xiaoshu started talking about the interesting incident that happened this time.
"Teacher Feng Jie joined the crew ahead of time. I didn't go with him because I had other things to do. Guess what happened? When I arrived at the crew, the director and producer told me that Teacher Feng Jie didn't join the crew."
Yu Xiaoshu left the question a secret here: "Guess where Teacher Feng Jie went?"
You Xiangxue said in a very funny way: "Where did you go?"
"Teacher Feng Jie dressed up as Li Fengtian in the play, and became the rag collector Old Feng in the crew, and also worked part-time at the crematorium."
Yu Xiaoshu said with emotion: "I was shocked by Mr. Feng Jie's professionalism and serious attitude, but he said that this is just what an actor should do. But what do actors do nowadays?"
Arrive late and leave early at will.
When one person joins a team, he or she needs to bring seven or eight assistants.
Moreover, many actors act recklessly.
It's not just traffic artists. Many actors who obviously have talent are also reckless in taking on roles, shooting this today and that tomorrow.
I changed the script on the spot because I felt it didn't suit my taste.
There are also more exaggerated literary scenes where they have to stand in for the actors and recite the lines 1234.
Finally, Yu Xiaoshu said: "In fact, there are many traffic artists who are quite dedicated. I hope that people will not refer to traffic artists as unprofessional. Look at Shao Jian, he is a veteran actor, but how shameless is what he did?"
kindness.
Yu Xiaoshu talks about Shao Jian every other sentence.
Yu Xiaoshu would not give up until Shao Jian was nailed to the pillar of shame.
You Xiangxue did not stop this.
She thinks this can completely boost the popularity of the show.
Although the "Discovery" program has always been a reluctant show, its neutral attitude has won recognition from many people.
But who doesn’t want a show to have some highlights?
The interview continues.
After talking about "The Undocumented Crime", You Xiangxue inevitably asked Yu Xiaoshu about his views on leading the trend of criminal investigation themes.
"I don't think it's good. Although The Undocumented Crime is considered to be a relatively good crime drama and has received more than 8 points on Douhu, I think there is still a lot of room for improvement. Take Dead Men Tell No Tales, for example. This crime drama also has a lot of room for improvement."
Yu Xiaoshu praised himself with "Dead Men Tell No Tales", and then said in a very Versailles way: "I think there will definitely be someone who can surpass "The Undocumented Crime", but it will definitely not be these followers. These followers just want to make a quick buck."
You Xiangxue asked: "Then Mr. Yu, will your next work continue with criminal investigation?"
"No, I am a trendsetter. Since a group of people have followed suit with the criminal investigation theme this time, I will wait until they fail to follow suit before I write another criminal investigation."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said.
You Xiangxue: “???”
You Xiangxue had seen confident guests in this interview before, but it was rare to find someone as confident as Yu Xiaoshu.
Didn’t you just say that you shouldn’t get cocky when you’re successful?
This is more than just expansion.
This can definitely be described as arrogance.
But if you think about the phenomenal level of Yu Xiaoshu's two works, he does have the capital to do so.
"So what subject are you going to write about in your next work, Mr. Yu? Is it about the urban area?"
You Xiangxue knew that Yu Xiaoshu came this time to promote his next work, which had just been mentioned in the interview outline, so she brought it up very naturally.
“Not a city.”
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "It's ancient costume."
"Ancient costume?"
You Xiangxue exclaimed.
Not only You Xiangxue, but also the audience at the scene were somewhat surprised.
Screenwriters have their own specialties.
Yu Xiaoshu has not written a script with ancient costume themes since his debut. He became famous for his urban youth dramas. Now he has returned to the public eye with the two urban dramas "I Am Yu Huanshui" and "The Undocumented Crime".
How come this is actually about ancient costumes? ?
"Teacher Yu, do you really want to write about ancient costumes?"
You Xiangxue continued to ask: "We all know that costume dramas are gradually becoming less popular, and the current costume dramas are very unpopular."
"I don't think so. The failure of I Am Li Xiaobao was not due to the market, but to the screenwriters Liu Xiang, Li Ruhai and director Sun Hei. I have said before on the Internet that if you don't have the ability, don't complain about the environment. On the contrary, I think the market for costume dramas is still quite large."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "So, I believe my new drama will give everyone a different feeling."
You Xiangxue said: "Then let's look forward to it together."
The last part of the recording is questions from the audience.
A total of 5 audience members asked questions.
Of course, this was all arranged in advance.
"Teacher Yu, hello, I am a student and I will take the college entrance examination soon. I have always regarded you as my idol. I am very happy that you can stand up again."
The first audience member was a senior high school student. He stood up and took the microphone and asked, "Can I ask you, do you have any life advice for us senior high school students?"
Yu Xiaoshu said, "No, you can tell by looking at my life. My life is a mess, so how can I give you students advice? But what I want to say is that youth is capital. Because you are young, you have unlimited possibilities. Please don't waste your time easily."
Give life advice?
Yu Xiaoshu thought this was all nonsense.
So he really hates some celebrities or public figures who always talk about their own insights into life and always want to give everyone their opinions.
Stop talking nonsense.
Some celebrities, how did you become successful? Don’t you have any idea?
Therefore, Yu Xiaoshu tried his best not to become the person he hated the most.
The next three questions were all about "The Innocent Crime".
For example, the case where Li Toyota’s son killed someone.
In fact, Yu Xiaoshu always felt that if he thought about it carefully, would Li Toyota’s son inherit Li Toyota’s genes?
In addition, there are two other characters: Luo Wen and Yan Liang.
However, what Yu Xiaoshu did not expect was that the last person to ask a question was actually a single mother.
Her name is Pang Xing. She is quite famous on the Internet and is an internet celebrity mother. Her son is called Pang Fei, who is 13 years old this year. However, starting three years ago, Pang Xing has been taking Pang Fei to participate in various activities.
According to Pang Xing, his son is a genius.
Yes, he is indeed a genius.
Pang Fei started participating in various TV programs at the age of 10. At the beginning, he participated in some poetry and the like. Pang Fei's brain is like a database. Pang Fei also participated in several film and television dramas.
Of course, they are all supporting roles.
After three years, Pang Fei still seems to have not changed much, but he still hasn't made much progress in three years.
Pang Xing’s question was very simple. She hoped that Yu Xiaoshu could give her son some advice because her son liked Yu Xiaoshu very much and also wanted to be a screenwriter.
“Want to be a screenwriter?”
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Pang Xing and said, "Your son can be a screenwriter, but he needs to learn, instead of taking him to participate in programs every day like now, directly squandering his talent. Think about how amazing Pang Fei was three years ago, but three years have passed, has your son changed at all?"
Pang Xing said hurriedly: "Teacher Yu, you may not understand, my son actually studies in his spare time, and he..."
"I don't need to know. I just want to tell you that what he needs most right now is to go back to school. Becoming famous at a young age is not a good thing for him."
Yu Xiaoshu interrupted Pang Xing and said.
Let’s not talk about Pang Fei. Even among the child stars in the entertainment industry, how many of them can still remain famous when they grow up?
Most child stars eventually disappear.
Not only child stars, but also other writers who became famous at a young age, what happened to them in the end? ?
Therefore, Pang Fei is now being exploited by his mother.
But how long can it be squeezed?
So, in his opinion, Pang Fei should go back to school. There is nothing wrong with occasionally participating in a show, but Pang Xing is going too far.
"Ask your son if he is willing to participate in the show over and over again."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Pang Xing calmly, "Does your son want to be a screenwriter? Or do you want your son to be a screenwriter?"
"I…"
Pang Xing was speechless after being questioned by Yu Xiaoshu. In the end, she just said, "Thank you, Teacher Yu. I know what to do next time."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly.
It would be a miracle if Pang Xing knew how to do it.
But he can't control these things.
Five minutes later, the recording of "Discovery" officially ended. Yu Xiaoshu said to You Xiangxue, "I just have one suggestion. Don't invite Pang Xing and her son next time. Their success is closely related to all the programs you want to pursue popularity."
You Xiangxue said: "Okay, Teacher Yu, I understand, but I'm worried that Pang Xing will do something to you online..."
"You don't have to worry about me."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "Since I dared to say that, I didn't care. Besides, don't you just want this kind of popularity? Okay, let's go."
After saying that, Yu Xiaoshu left Xiaoma Entertainment.
"kindness??"
But on the way back, Yu Xiaoshu received a somewhat unexpected phone call.
