Chapter 303 Not Surprising
"Opinion??"
Su Qing laughed: "I don't have any objection, I just want to ask, since the heroine didn't appear in the first three episodes, does she appear later?"
"No, there is no heroine."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said.
Su Qing was stunned: "No heroine?"
Yu Xiaoshu said seriously: "Yes, this is a purely male drama. Not only is there no female lead, there are almost no female supporting roles. It can be regarded as a military drama for men from beginning to end."
"this…"
Su Qing was really a little surprised. She originally agreed with Yu Xiaoshu's previous point of view that military dramas did not have to have emotional scenes.
But how to say it?
There is no need to have emotional scenes and there is no emotional scenes. These are two different aspects.
What's more, Yu Xiaoshu's meaning doesn't just mean there are no romance scenes, it means there are almost no female characters, no female lead, no female second role, nothing at all.
This is a bit wrong.
"So the main plot is always in the military camp?"
Su Qing asked with a frown.
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "This is a story about a soldier who was thought to be a bad soldier by everyone but eventually became a top soldier. So the main plot is naturally in the military camp, but there will be some other plots to push it forward."
"Well, if someone else told me about this script, I might think it's risky, or even think that a military drama can't be shot this way, but since you said it, then there's no problem."
Su Qing nodded slightly and said.
She believed in Yu Xiaoshu.
It's that simple.
Moreover, after reading the synopsis and the first three episodes of "Soldier Assault", Su Qing felt that it didn't matter even if the script didn't have any romance.
"Okay, if that's the case, then you can take this book to Director Su to take a look and see what he thinks."
Seeing that Su Qing had no objection, Yu Xiaoshu also spoke up.
"I'll go home and let my dad take a look, but..."
Su Qing suddenly made a joke when he said this: "But are you so confident in giving me the script?"
"Of course I don't worry. I believe you. Besides, it doesn't matter even if you really release the script."
Yu Xiaoshu said nonchalantly.
After all, the success of "Soldier Assault" is not just based on the scripts of the first three episodes. The script is very important, but the actors of "Soldier Assault" are more important.
"You really are as proud as ever."
Su Qing paused here and said, "But, I like it."
I always thought that Su Qing liked Yu Xiaoshu just like this.
Next, Su Qing asked in detail about the script of "Soldier Assault" because she needed to tell her father the specific reasons. After all, Su Dong was also a person with very high requirements.
Before I knew it, it was already 9 o'clock.
"That's all for today."
Yu Xiaoshu glanced at the time and said.
Su Qing was a little unsatisfied: "Do you have an appointment tonight?"
"That's not the case. It's mainly because it's time now. I should go back and rest. Normally I have to go home at 8 o'clock, but today it's already 9 o'clock."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said, "The script basically says everything that should and shouldn't be said. Go back and let Director Su take a look. If Director Su is willing, then we can discuss it in further detail."
"Okay then."
Su Qing had heard about Yu Xiaoshu's early to bed and early to rise schedule, so she was not surprised.
After the two parted, Yu Xiaoshu naturally went home.
Nothing could possibly disturb his sleep.
As for Su Qing, when he returned home, he found that Su Dong had not rested yet, so he said to Su Dong: "Look at this."
Su Dong frowned: "What is this?"
"Didn't you ask me to invite Yu Xiaoshu to write a script? He has already written the first three episodes today. Take a look for yourself."
Su Qing said nonchalantly.
"What?"
Su Dong was obviously shocked. He said in disbelief, "You made an appointment with him yesterday, and he wrote the script today?"
"To be exact, I talked about this with him at lunch today."
Su Qing shook his head slightly and said, "Then he wrote the script in the afternoon."
“So fast??”
Su Dong was a little unconvinced.
After all, when he and Luo Yuan talked in the afternoon, they decided to spend a month to plan the script carefully.
But I never expected Yu Xiaoshu to be so fast.
In less than half a day, I came up with the idea for the script, and then wrote the first three episodes and the synopsis.
Even a quick shooter can't be that fast.
"You didn't discuss this with Yu Xiaoshu in advance, did you?"
Su Dong frowned and said, "A trap for me?"
"I say that this is meaningless. I can understand that you are prejudiced against Yu Xiaoshu, but do you think you are important enough to need Yu Xiaoshu and I to set a trap for you?"
Su Qing said with a hint of sarcasm: "Are you going to read it or not? If you don't, I'll take the script away."
"Look, now that it's written, of course I have to take a look. I mainly want to see how Yu Xiaoshu's military script is written."
Su Dong opened the script as he spoke.
"Soldier Assault".
This name is quite similar to the name of his TV series. It seems that Yu Xiaoshu has put a lot of effort into it.
However, after reading the first three episodes of the script, Su Dong frowned slightly.
This is a story told using flashbacks.
Moreover, whether it is Xu Sanduo's family or Chengcai's family, or even some situations in the village, they all seem to be portrayed in a slightly darker way.
That’s not the case.
The most important thing is, is it possible for such a stupid man like Xu Sanduo to become successful again after joining the army?
Even if it is suppressed first and then lifted, how much can it be lifted? ?
The most crucial point is that there are no female characters in the first three episodes of "Soldier Assault".
"Where's the heroine??"
Su Dong asked the same question as Su Qing: "Where is the heroine of "Soldier Assault"?"
"There is no female lead. Yu Xiaoshu said this is a man's drama, a pure military drama."
Su Qing shook his head slightly and said.
"What? No heroine??"
Su Dong said in disbelief: "Are you kidding me?"
"There really is no leading actress. And Dad, not only is there no leading actress, there are basically no supporting actresses either."
Su Qing smiled and said, "I've talked to Yu Xiaoshu about this. I think this drama really doesn't need any female characters. It just needs tension. Besides, if it's just to embellish the so-called emotional drama, then it's even more unnecessary. I..."
"You don't understand, Xiaoqing. You don't understand that if a drama has no female characters, then it is a castrated drama, just like if all the characters are female and there are no male characters. Moreover, a drama has about 30 episodes, and in the end there is not a single female character. Do you think the audience can watch it?"
Su Dong shook his head slightly and said, "It's really good that he can write a script in less than half a day, but I still say that he doesn't understand military dramas after all. Does he think military dramas are so simple? It's just nonsense."
"I don't have a fever."
Su Qing stood up at this time, touched Su Dong's forehead with his hand, then frowned slightly and said.
"What are you doing?"
Su Dong was shocked by his daughter's behavior.
Su Qing shook her head and said, "If you don't have a fever, why are you talking nonsense??? Yu Xiaoshu's script is obviously good, why is it nonsense?"
"oops…"
Su Dong only realized at this time that his daughter was venting her anger on behalf of Yu Xiaoshu.
This girl was really raised in vain.
Su Dong, who was a little angry, said angrily: "Girl, who are you standing on the same line with?"
"I stand on the same side as justice. I will listen to whoever is right."
Su Qing was also a little angry at this time and said, "Dad, you asked me to invite Yu Xiaoshu for the script, but now Yu Xiaoshu has written the script. What's your attitude? You are criticizing it so much. Why? Is this script so unbearable in your eyes?"
"hehe."
Su Dong suddenly laughed: "Okay, I understand, so do you think I am biased against this script?"
Su Qing was stunned: "Isn't it?"
"You, what do you think of your father? Am I really that narrow-minded? I have always been objective, not personal. If I were really that narrow-minded, then there would be several artists who would never have become the top stars they are today."
Su Dong said with a smile: "I am not happy with Yu Xiaoshu, but I am not biased against the script because of my dislike for him. If you don't believe it, you can show this script to other people and see their reactions."
"Okay, I understand."
Su Qing didn't say anything else at this time. She just picked up the script and left.
"It's so late, you still want to go out??"
At this time, Su Dong looked at his daughter and said with concern.
"I'll go find someone else to look at the script."
Su Qing said without turning his head.
“This child.”
Su Dong felt a little helpless at this time. He never thought that Su Qing would value him so much.
But there is one thing, that is Su Dong's confidence in his own vision.
He believed that anyone with a little common sense would find the script of "Soldier Assault" unacceptable.
All the scenes are played by men.
What kind of joke is this??
If such a script could be successful, then Su Dong felt that he really had to doubt his own vision.
At 12:10, Su Qing returned home, looking a little depressed.
"How about it??"
Su Dong did not sleep. He was waiting for his daughter to come back. On the one hand, he wanted his daughter to give up completely. On the other hand, it was so late and Su Dong still felt a little worried.
"Dad, you haven't slept yet."
Su Qing looked at his father and said with some surprise.
"certainly."
Su Dong smiled and said, "I have to wait for you to come back, lest you really misunderstand that I am prejudiced against Yu Xiaoshu. Then you go and ask other people, what do they say..."
"this……"
Su Qing was a little embarrassed for a moment.
She really didn't expect it.
No one is optimistic about the script of "Soldier Assault".
On the one hand, everyone thinks it is difficult to find actors for this script. Popular artists of this age will definitely not be willing to act in a military drama, and even if they do, it is impossible for them to join the crew in advance for any training.
After all, these popular artists can’t even speak their own lines, so asking them to really experience being a soldier would be very difficult.
In addition to the problem with the actors, there is also the problem with the script itself. After all, "Soldier Assault" does not actually have any female characters.
You say this isn't funny?
Have you ever seen a military drama without female characters?
Even if you really want to innovate, you can't be so innovative.
Su Qing mistakenly overestimated Yu Xiaoshu's reputation. She stood on Yu Xiaoshu's side without any problem. The most important thing was that Su Qing had confidence in Yu Xiaoshu. She felt that no matter what, Yu Xiaoshu had so many successful experiences, so she should at least trust him.
But others, especially colleagues, don’t think so.
Su Qing asked his screenwriter friends to read it, and they all had similar opinions.
The script is not good.
At least the scripts for the first three episodes are acceptable, but if there are no female characters, then that is absolutely unacceptable.
Good job.
Su Qing was really depressed.
It's okay if one person says this, but it's a bit awkward when so many people suddenly say it.
She heard her father's words and said unhappily: "Yes, you win."
"Look, let me tell you, I can't possibly have any prejudice against Yu Xiaoshu. It's just because of the script."
Su Dong shook his head slightly and said, "Of course, Dad doesn't want to offend you, so how about this, you talk to Yu Xiaoshu and tell him that the script can be changed and a female character can be added. Then, we can find some time to talk more about the changes we can make to the script."
"Dad, can you trust me just once?"
Su Qing shook her head slightly and said, "I believe Yu Xiaoshu's script is fine. Can you just shoot it like this?"
"Of course... no."
Su Dong said, "This is not a small matter. If we really shoot it this way, what will happen if the TV series fails? Will it be my fault or Yu Xiaoshu's? What's more, what about the investment? Even if Baiqian Media invests all the money, I, Su Dong, can't afford to lose this person."
OK.
Having said that, Su Qing didn't want to say anything more. She just said at the end: "Old man, so you really don't plan to direct this?"
"Yes."
Su Dong nodded slightly.
"Okay, don't regret it then."
After Su Qing finished speaking, she left angrily.
"What do I regret?"
Su Dong just thought that his daughter was just angry.
He, Su Dong, could only fail once; he would never fail a second time.
As for Yu Xiaoshu's script, he didn't take it to heart.
In Su Dong's opinion, no one is willing to take the risk of such a script.
The next day.
Yu Xiaoshu received Su Qing's call and smiled: "Okay, I got it."
Su Qing was a little surprised: "You are not surprised at all?"
"What's so surprising??"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "It's obvious that Director Su doesn't trust my ability to write military dramas. In addition, he has absolute trust in himself, so he may not be optimistic about the script of "Soldier Assault"."
