Chapter 430: A True Anti-Japanese Drama
There are indeed a lot of people in Future City, and it is full of vitality. Or it can be said that everyone here has one idea, which is to make the entertainment industry bigger and stronger.
I have to say that this is much better than the original time and space.
In the original time and space, everyone was thinking about how to make money. Even when live streaming became popular, a bunch of veteran actors started to shamelessly do live streaming. Of course, they could make money, but many of them did it just for the money.
It is not shameful to make money, but it is shameful to pretend to be ignorant when you know the truth and then sell all kinds of so-called fake goods.
Very shabby.
Here, even though the era of traffic has arrived, people still have some pursuits.
It's not like the Writers Guild and the Directors Guild are doing nothing.
Future city, creating the future, is not just a simple talk.
As the president of the Screenwriters Association, Lu Yuan is as famous as Sun Qi. Lu Yuan's scripts, Sun Qi's directing, and Zou Xing's photography were all excellent.
The work of the three of them is invincible.
Over the years, Zou Xing passed away and Sun Qi became the chairman. As for Lu Yuan, although he no longer writes scripts, he still has a passion for screenwriting. The Screenwriters Association was originally established due to Lu Yuan's hard work.
Twenty years ago, screenwriters did not have as high a status as they do now. In fact, screenwriters twenty years ago were a bit similar to the original time and space, that is, most of the screenwriters were controlled by the upper level, and many new screenwriters even had difficulty supporting themselves.
Not only that, plagiarism was rampant among screenwriters at the time, and some film and television companies even encouraged their screenwriters to plagiarize. After all, plagiarism had no cost, and if the other party sued them, they might even be able to get some attention.
If this continues for several years, it will be a devastating blow to the screenwriter industry.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Yuan finally decided to stand up.
After all, as a top screenwriter, this is really something that no one else can do but me.
So in such a situation, Lu Yuan stood up. He hoped that everyone would reflect on it together and think about how to save the screenwriter.
However, the capitalists did not take Lu Yuan seriously because they felt that a scholar's rebellion would fail in three years. Besides, they did not think they would have no way out without the screenwriter.
If you have money, what kind of people can’t you recruit? ?
With money, what can't be done?
If you have money, you can do whatever you want.
As a result, the capital was collectively dumbfounded.
This time the screenwriters can be said to be quite united, and they began to resign.
After the resignation, many film and television companies did not take it to heart at first, or they did not really care about the creators at all. For film and television companies, screenwriters are dogs and just need to be given a bone.
Now he wants to turn over and become the master? ?
How is this possible??
That's exactly why capital is looking for some obedient people.
As a result, these obedient people are unable to write wonderful scripts or stories.
Let me put it this way.
In the entertainment industry, the script is king, but many people did not believe it before 'script is king', and they are the least important part of the story.
This is just like the original Earth, where everyone invited young and old actors, but did not pay much attention to the script.
Think about iQiyi’s Misty Theater. It was pretty good before, but then capital started to get involved, and then there’s nothing to say about it.
Do some young actors really think they can act in anything?
Of course, the script is rubbish and even the veteran actors can’t save it.
Then, after a period of bargaining, capital finally gave in.
In short, the success of the screenwriters' strike really depends on Lu Yuan, and it is also because of Lu Yuan that the status of screenwriters has been greatly improved.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Yuan has been dissatisfied with the current situation in recent years.
He even thinks it's okay for some screenwriters to follow the trend, but the kind of blind following of trends, where everyone starts writing about a popular subject, is simply nonsense.
You know, wasn't that the reason for the screenwriters' strike in the first place?
As a result, they don’t value the rights they won after a month-long strike? ?
Lu Yuan was both angry and sad, so he was particularly strict with his students. It was okay for them to follow the trend, but if they didn't use their brains at all and plagiarized without restraint, Lu Yuan would expel them directly.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan has trained many excellent screenwriters in the past 20 years, and these excellent screenwriters are once again flourishing everywhere. Otherwise, how can the industry say that Lu Yuan has many students all over the world?
Yu Xiaoshu has never been to the Future City.
Firstly, Yu Xiaoshu was at the peak from the beginning, and he didn't need to be in a novice village like Future City. Later, after he became a waste, Lu Yuan called him and roughly meant that he hoped he could come to the Imperial Capital Future City, at least to be a teacher.
After all, the Future City Screenwriters Association still has a lot of reserve strength. By the way, in addition to being the president of the Screenwriters Association, Lu Yuan is also the principal.
Now Lu Yuan is not called Teacher Lu, but Principal Lu.
Ten years ago, Lu Yuan opened a school in Future City, mainly to train new screenwriters.
This school does not charge tuition, nor does it have any restrictions on students' academic qualifications or even age. As long as you want to learn screenwriting or are interested in screenwriting, you can come.
The limit is the number of students who can attend the class each day.
There is no other way. After all, we can't have all the people come at once.
Of course, no matter what, Lu Yuan's contribution to China's screenwriting industry is incomparable. Over the past ten years, Lu Yuan has provided China with a lot of new screenwriters.
That's exactly why Yu Xiaoshu respects Lu Yuan so much. After all, saints like Lu Yuan are rare.
It can be said that I have worked hard for this job as a screenwriter.
Yu Xiaoshu received a call from Lu Yuan a few days ago. Today, he came to Future City mainly to see Future City, and on the other hand, it was naturally for the mission drama.
Although he was mentally prepared, Yu Xiaoshu was still shocked when he arrived at the Screenwriters Association.
It really jumps.
There are a lot of people in this Screenwriters Association.
Moreover, this screenwriters association has people of all ages, and everyone looks energetic.
Good.
"Teacher Yu is here."
"It's Teacher Yu. Teacher Yu is here."
"Oh my god, it really is Teacher Yu."
…
At this moment, Yu Xiaoshu was surrounded. These people looked at Yu Xiaoshu with the same excitement as fans seeing their idol.
"Teacher Yu, I am your loyal fan, my name is Wei Ming..."
At this time, a girl came to Yu Xiaoshu with a slightly blushing face, and then she mustered up the courage to say, "Can I ask you for an autograph?"
As soon as Wei Ming finished speaking, the others came over.
For a moment, Yu Xiaoshu seemed like a monkey in a zoo, being watched by countless people, and these people were also a little fanatical.
It would be a lie for Yu Xiaoshu to say that this feeling wasn't strange.
How to say it?
These people are all screenwriters. In their hearts, they regard Yu Xiaoshu as a real god, and he is the guiding light of their struggle.
It can be said that this kind of people are different from those simple fans.
In fact, these screenwriters will also be rising stars in the Chinese screenwriting industry in the future.
The future is yours.
Yu Xiaoshu cooperated very well with these people in signing autographs. Not only did he sign, he also gave everyone some words of encouragement.
come on.
persist in.
15 minutes later, Bai Yan, the vice president of the Screenwriters Association and also Lu Yuan's student, came over. He asked the other students to disperse first. After all, at the speed of signing autographs and taking photos, Yu Xiaoshu might as well not do anything today.
Bai Yan brought Yu Xiaoshu to the meeting room of the Screenwriters Association.
There were already four people in the meeting room, including Lu Yuan, and Yu Xiaoshu knew the remaining three people.
Two men and one woman.
Needless to say, the woman is Bai Suzhen.
Both men are around 40 years old. The one wearing glasses is called Fang Xi, 42 years old this year. He is not Lu Yuan’s student, but he is related to Lu Yuan because Lu Yuan is Fang Xi’s father-in-law.
The other fat guy is called Xiao Liang, he is 36 years old this year. He is also not Lu Yuan’s student, but he is related to Lu Yuan, like a distant relative. However, Xiao Liang is considered a genius in the screenwriting industry. He has not systematically studied screenwriting, but he has a very high grasp of the market.
By the way, Xiao Liang has read all of Yu Xiaoshu’s works since “I Am Yu Huanshui”, and it was Xiao Liang who thought that Yu Xiaoshu could bounce back.
During these three years, Yu Xiaoshu met Xiao Liang once at an award ceremony. The two had a very pleasant conversation. Yu Xiaoshu knew that he was nothing special. If he did not have the entertainment wealth on Earth, he would not have been so successful.
But Xiao Liang is not like that. He is the kind of person who holds a bad hand but turns it into a royal flush.
This kind of person is a natural screenwriter.
"Okay, now that we're here, I'll get down to business."
Lu Yuan laughed when he saw Yu Xiaoshu coming. "You four are the best of the younger generation, especially Xiaoshu and Susu. You two are the pride of the screenwriter community. This time, the script was supposed to be done by someone else, but I changed my mind because it's time for you young screenwriters to do it. I'm not worried about Fang Xi and Xiao Liang, but Susu and Xiaoshu, if you need any information or help in other areas, feel free to come to me..."
Without any greetings, Lu Yuan got straight to business.
"Grandpa Lu, don't worry. Since I have accepted this mission drama, I will definitely do it well."
Bai Suzhen said hurriedly at this time.
She was proud, but she didn't dare to do that in front of Lu Yuan.
After all, Lu Yuan is someone Bai Suzhen admires for both his status and his character.
Yu Xiaoshu also said: "Principal Lu, please tell us how to do this mission drama."
"It's actually very simple. The four of you, each of you write a script, and then you can find a director yourself, or we can ask our association to find a director for the filming. As for the funding, you don't have to worry about it. After all, it's a mission drama, and the association will pay for it."
Lu Yuan explained with a smile: "This year's task drama is to promote patriotism, and the script must be about the anti-Japanese war..."
Hearing Lu Yuan say this, Yu Xiaoshu felt it was a bit strange.
That's right.
It's really weird. You know, if Lu Yuan hadn't said it, Yu Xiaoshu was also planning to shoot that anti-Japanese drama next.
kindness.
A true anti-Japanese drama.
That is "Drawing Sword".
I won’t mention how awesome this drama is, nor will I mention how great this drama is.
In short, who can compete with "Drawing Sword"?
After the meeting, Lu Yuan asked Fang Xi to take Yu Xiaoshu and Bai Susu around.
After all, it was the first time for both of them to come to Future City.
"I admit that you did write well in In the Name of People, but that's all. This time, I will let you know what I have learned in the past three years abroad. You can't imagine my progress."
Bai Suzhen came to Yu Xiaoshu and said seriously.
Very arrogant.
The arrogance of talented people is called self-confidence.
Obviously, this is what Bai Suzhen is like.
Of course, as I said before, Bai Suzhen does have the capital to be arrogant.
But she shouldn't be so arrogant.
Yu Xiaoshu said to Bai Susu, "The moon is not always rounder abroad, and what you learn abroad may not be applicable to China. At any time, as a screenwriter, you should be humble and keep moving forward, instead of being arrogant and pessimistic like you. I won't compete with you, because there is no comparison between us..."
At this point, Yu Xiaoshu paused and said, "You, in my eyes, are not good enough."
Good job.
This is Yu Xiaoshu.
Xiao Liang felt quite relieved watching from the side.
He also disliked Bai Suzhen. Xiao Liang had seen many geniuses, but he had never seen many like Bai Suzhen.
"you……"
Bai Susu didn't expect Yu Xiaoshu to speak so bluntly.
It is extremely harmful and insulting.
"After all these years, you haven't learned to respect women at all."
Bai Su Su sneered at this time and said, "I want to see how strong the script you wrote is?"
"Men and women are equal. I only respect those who deserve respect."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly, then he looked at Fang Xi and said, "Teacher Fang, I have something else to do, so I'll go back first. We'll meet again when we have time."
After saying that, Yu Xiaoshu said hello to Xiao Liang and left.
"Lao Fang, I'm leaving too."
Xiao Liang still had things to talk to Yu Xiaoshu about. Besides, he had visited Future City so many times.
There is nothing surprising about this.
Instead of spending this time, he might as well have a good chat with Yu Xiaoshu.
Regarding the anti-corruption drama "In the Name of People", Xiao Liang really admires Yu Xiaoshu, because Yu Xiaoshu is not a bureaucrat, so how did he write such a story?
The genius Xiao Liang has seen a lot, and we have just talked about Xiao Liang’s views on Bai Suzhen.
But a genius like Yu Xiaoshu is really rare. Bai Su Su was really depressed looking at Yu Xiaoshu's back.
How to say it?
Someone as proud as her really couldn't stand being ignored like this.
