Chapter 297 Look, does my daughter still have a chance?
The next day, at Yipintang Teahouse.
For Yu Xiaoshu, Gong Xue's matter can only be regarded as a small episode. Perhaps other people will be more considerate of Shi Xiangming. After all, it goes without saying how terrifying the resources of the prince of Dingsheng Film and Television are.
But Yu Xiaoshu really doesn't care. No matter how strong Dingsheng Film and Television is, it means nothing to Yu Xiaoshu. Not to mention the current Yu Xiaoshu who is cheating, he doesn't care even if it is Yu Xiaoshu on Earth, let alone Liu Qianqian.
For this reason, this was just a small episode and a trivial matter for Yu Xiaoshu.
But for Gong Xue, it was a sleepless night because he received a threatening call from Shi Xiangming last night.
Words like 'I've already told Liu Qianqian from Baiqian Media that I'm going to fire you', 'I've said I'll make sure you have no place to stay in the capital', 'Unless you crawl onto my bed on your knees, I'll definitely kill you', etc. really scared Gong Xue.
Gong Xue even felt that she was a little regretful. She should have not fallen out with Shi Xiangming like that.
Therefore, Gong Xue was naturally quite listless when she came to Baiqian Media today. However, what she didn't expect was that Yu Xiaoshu told her: "No one has the right to make me fire you. If I really fire you, there will only be one reason, that is, you are not capable enough."
These words made Gong Xue so happy and moved that she almost cried.
sense of security.
In Gong Xue's opinion, Yu Xiaoshu brought her a great sense of security. At the same time, Gong Xue also understood what Yang Li meant when she said "Teacher Yu is not interested in women".
It really is just the literal meaning.
As a "goddess-level" woman, she can feel all kinds of gazes, but Yu Xiaoshu's gaze is really like face-blindness, and her attitude is no different from that of other people.
"Just wait for me next door."
Yu Xiaoshu's words interrupted Gong Xue's thoughts.
Today, Gong Xue didn’t know why Yu Xiaoshu brought her to Yipintang Teahouse, but she didn’t ask much. As an assistant, she only needed to obey and do her job well.
For this reason, as soon as Yu Xiaoshu finished speaking, Gong Xue hurriedly said, "Okay, Teacher Yu, if you have anything, please call me. I'll be next door."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded slightly, then pushed the door open and walked in.
Although he didn't know why Su Dong wanted to see him, he thought that he had indeed let down his daughter in the past, so he decided to come and see her.
Su Dong was the only one in the private room.
fine.
Yu Xiaoshu was really afraid that Su Dong’s daughter was there too, which would be very embarrassing.
"Director Su..."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Sorry, there was a little traffic jam on the road, so I'm late."
"Sit down."
Su Dong's face was as dark as ever. He looked at Yu Xiaoshu and said, "Congratulations on your work setting a record for TV dramas in 2019. What are your plans next? Are you going to write a play?"
"Well?"
Yu Xiaoshu didn't expect Su Dong to ask him this right after they met, but he didn't hide it. After all, it would be announced at the celebration banquet this afternoon, so he smiled and said, "I said it once in the "Discovery" interview, that is, I am preparing to do a variety show."
"Doing a variety show?"
Su Dong really hadn’t watched Yu Xiaoshu’s live broadcast, so he was a little surprised and said: “Are you serious??”
"Seriously, I've wanted to do a variety show before, and this time I just had an idea, so I decided to do it."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "Director Su, do you have any suggestions?"
Su Dong said bluntly: "My advice is don't do it."
"Oh? Why??"
Yu Xiaoshu asked seriously.
Su Dong said, "You have just achieved great success with the TV series All Is Well. Although your previous web series were phenomenal, this TV series is enough to elevate your status to a higher level. What you should do now is strike while the iron is hot and write another TV series instead of hanging out in variety shows. What's the significance of being a screenwriter for variety shows?"
I have to say that Su Dong really meant well.
Regardless of whether they are screenwriters or directors, their status in the circle is web drama < TV series < movie. As for variety shows, they are at the bottom of the circle.
Just look at the situation in the variety show industry.
Basically, the hosts and guests are the ones who shine, no one pays attention to the screenwriters and directors, and some variety shows are even directly outsourced.
Currently, only the TOP5 are relatively well-known in the variety show circle. Who cares about the other screenwriters?
Besides, you, Yu Xiaoshu, have finally become No. 1 in the online drama circle, and have also made a name for yourself in TV dramas. Why do you suddenly want to join the variety show circle?
Everyone has their own aspirations.
Faced with Su Dong's persuasion, Yu Xiaoshu only said these four words.
After hearing these four words, Su Dong stopped talking.
Maybe this is what youth is.
Taking a step back, basically all powerful people are so conceited. Isn't Su Dong the same? ?
The greetings were almost over. Yu Xiaoshu knew that Su Dong would not look for him for no reason, so he was too lazy to talk about this and that. After all, the two of them actually disliked each other.
In that case, let's keep it simple.
So Yu Xiaoshu asked directly: "Director Su, what do you want to talk to me about? If you need my help, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."
No matter what, this is my ex's father after all.
You still have to give some face.
But Yu Xiaoshu will only help within his ability.
"It's not that I need your help, I just want to ask you for advice."
Su Dong shook his head slightly and said.
Yu Xiaoshu was stunned: "Excuse me?"
"Yes, please advise. Some people say that I am outdated and that my grasp of the market is no longer good. They say that you are the one who understands the market best now."
Su Dong nodded gently and said, "So I naturally want to ask you for advice, and I hope you can speak frankly."
Yu Xiaoshu said, "Director Su, you are too kind. I can't say that I understand the market best, I can only say that I understand it a little bit. And you are not outdated, you are just stuck in a dead end. I believe that as long as you sum up your experience and lessons, your next drama will definitely be successful again."
"That's why I want to ask you for advice. You said I was being too picky. So what do you think is the biggest problem with "Soldiers, Please Take Your Place"?"
Su Dong asked Yu Xiaoshu seriously.
"The biggest problem of "Soldiers, Please Take Your Place" is traffic."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Su Dong, "There is no problem with using traffic, and there is no problem with filming sweet pet dramas, but you should never, ever, film a military sweet pet drama. There is a market for overbearing CEOs, but if a military drama is filmed as a sweet pet drama, then first of all, it does not conform to the market, and secondly, it does not fit the image of a soldier. This is what you filmed. If it was filmed by someone else, I'm afraid it would have been reported long ago."
You said you were shooting a military drama and you wanted to create some love story, but you also teased me so forcefully that it was like sexual harassment.
If this isn't fucking funny, what is?
Yu Xiaoshu hadn't said anything else.
It's a good thing that this was shot by Su Dong. To be honest, if it was really shot by some other directors, Yu Xiaoshu would probably really curse.
You can go and watch those urban dramas or costume dramas, whether they are sweet pet stories or overbearing CEO stories, whatever you like.
But can you just watch a military drama casually?
For this reason, since Su Dong asked him to express his opinions at this time, Yu Xiaoshu expressed them as much as he could.
"To put it bluntly, Director Su, you are destroying your own skills. There is nothing wrong with your filming techniques. Even the ratings of the drama "Special Warfare Assault" you shot five years ago are still rising after all these years. Isn't it because of market recognition? But you insist on using traffic and filming some sweet military drama. To be honest, I think it would be unfair if your drama doesn't flop."
Yu Xiaoshu sighed and said, "Yes, now Yuanxing's TV series are mainly based on traffic, but most of them still flop. And as long as they think of using traffic and the script is not good to deal with the audience, then they will definitely flop. Just like your "Soldiers Please Take Your Place", it could have been about military matters, even if it was about the protagonist encountering difficulties, violent debt collection, violent demolition, violent land expropriation and other conflicts. But what happened? They actually fell in love, and even went on blind dates, pretended to live together, and had all kinds of bickering. Director Su, do you think this is a military drama or a domineering CEO drama?"
Well, these words left Su Dong speechless, and he just asked Yu Xiaoshu to speak as much as he could, but Yu Xiaoshu really did speak as much as he could.
That's really rude.
Yu Xiaoshu suddenly laughed at this time: "Director Su, you understand the truth. I don't believe you haven't seen the criticism online. I even think you may have started to reflect on it."
This is the truth.
Because the reputation and ratings of Su Dong's "Soldiers Please Take Your Place" were almost a complete failure, even if Su Dong was confident, he would still be a little confused.
After all, apart from anything else, the show's poor reputation and ratings proved that his idea was wrong.
So it was very difficult for Su Dong to admit his mistakes.
So, last night, Su Dong had another argument with his daughter.
In the daughter's words, since you don't think you are wrong, then go and talk to Yu Xiaoshu. Yu Xiaoshu has never failed since his divorce, which proves that Yu Xiaoshu understands the market, so go and ask Yu Xiaoshu.
When Su Dong heard this, he agreed.
The good thing about him is that he never denies others based on his personal likes and dislikes.
However, Su Dong's daughter would not call Yu Xiaoshu. Because of this, Su Dong directly asked his assistant to contact Yu Xiaoshu, which led to today's meeting.
However, it is not easy to change Su Dong's views.
After all, Su Dong has decades of experience to get to where he is today, but now you say a drama is a flop and ask Su Dong to deny all his previous experience, do you think this is possible? ?
Therefore, another round of debate will naturally follow.
Be objective and not personal.
Yu Xiaoshu likes this debate.
"Director Su, you are right. It's okay to want to change, but you can't change blindly. Of course there are good actors among traffic stars, but you can't just do traffic for traffic's sake. I always think that the role must be chosen for the right one, not who has traffic. Do you dare to say that you didn't think about who has traffic when you chose the actors?"
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "You can only think about this yourself. No one else understands you as well as you do."
Embrace the market!
Su Dong actually wanted to say these four words, but he finally gave up the idea.
Because as Yu Xiaoshu said, you can deceive others with these words, but you can't deceive yourself.
"Okay, I get it, but according to what you said, does that mean there won't be any emotional scenes in military dramas?"
Su Dong suddenly said.
"If military dramas can be filmed well, then what does it matter if there are no romance scenes? What I sometimes don't understand is why romance scenes have to be added for no reason?"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said.
Su Dong was a little amused at this time: "You still don't understand military dramas after all. Military dramas are sometimes boring. More importantly, if it is just a military plot, it will definitely flop, so..."
“So they added some inexplicable emotional scenes??”
Yu Xiaoshu was also a little speechless: "That's really not as good as a pure military plot."
have to.
The two of them were having a bit of a fight.
At this time, Su Dong finally started to say only one sentence, which was: "You don't understand military dramas."
have to.
Yu Xiaoshu was too lazy to persuade Su Dong anymore.
He even felt that if Su Dong continued along this line of thought, his next drama would surely fail.
But I've said everything that needs to be said. If I continue, we'll become enemies.
Don't talk about deep things with someone you're not familiar with.
Yu Xiaoshu was about to leave, but Su Dong asked Yu Xiaoshu, "Do you have a girlfriend now?"
"kindness??"
Yu Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment, then said: "Not yet, I am still focusing on my career, so I don't want to fall in love."
"Okay, stop fooling me with this. Were you badly hurt by your ex-wife?"
When Su Dong said this, Yu Xiaoshu thought he was trying to persuade her, but he changed the subject: "I tell you, this is retribution. Think about it, how many girls' hearts have you broken? So, this is a tit-for-tat."
have to.
After such a long time, Yu Xiaoshu didn't expect that Su Dong still held a grudge.
But it makes sense when you think about it.
Yu Xiaoshu was indeed young and willful at the time, and he was also unfair to the girl.
So Yu Xiaoshu did not explain.
Besides, Su Dong was talking about the Yu Xiaoshu of the past. What does that have to do with him now?
That’s why Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, “Yes, you are right. This is retribution. If there is nothing else, I will leave first.”
"kindness??"
This time, Su Dong was a little surprised.
It seems that Yu Xiaoshu has really changed.
In the past, Yu Xiaoshu was a person who would not let go even if he was right. There were even a few times when he made sarcastic remarks to Su Dong in all kinds of weird ways.
As a result, Yu Xiaoshu has been calm and composed since he came into the private room, whether he was debating with himself or doing other things.
It seems my daughter is right.
Yu Xiaoshu has indeed changed.
Thinking of this, Su Dong asked directly: "Do you think my daughter still has a chance?"
Yu Xiaoshu: “???”
