Chapter 431 Finale
"Teacher Yu, you are still amazing."
Xiao Liang caught up with Yu Xiaoshu and said with a little admiration: "Although I am annoyed by Bai Susu, I dare not say this to her."
Indeed, Xiao Liang still has to consider Bai Suzhen's father.
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Why? Is there anything else you, Fatty Xiao, are afraid of? Besides, just call me Xiaoshu. There's no need to be so formal."
"Hahaha, okay, then I'll call you Little Tree."
Xiao Liang laughed: "I actually want to ask you about the TV series "In the Name of People". Do you have time now?"
"Come on, let's find a tea room."
Yu Xiaoshu glanced at the time and said, "I happen to have nothing to do today."
Now Baiqian Media really doesn’t need Yu Xiaoshu to pay too much attention to it.
Several screenwriters have also started to take on the main responsibilities. In many cases, Yu Xiaoshu only needs to give an idea, and the rest of the screenwriters can fill in the story.
Baiqian Media holds a script seminar every month. At these meetings, Yu Xiaoshu does not have the final say. He often takes the initiative to discuss with everyone. They mainly discuss the market, the conception of the script, and the idea of adapting to the market while not blindly trying to please it.
Yu Xiaoshu has a deep understanding of this.
If you just try to please the market, you will end up breeding poison.
Therefore, many times the audience's aesthetic taste needs to be improved by creators, and this requires finding a critical point.
"Just like why do audiences like the drama "In the Name of People"? First of all, it's the characters. Every character in this drama is real, and not perfect. They all have flaws, whether it's the recently popular Li Dakang who took the blame, or Sun Liancheng in the infinite universe, or even Qi Tongwei who was once a drug-fighting hero, but he was corrupted by power step by step. And Gao Yuliang, can you simply judge them as black and white?"
Yu Xiaoshu analyzed the situation with Xiao Liang in the tea room with a smile: "This is one of the reasons why I personally think the script of In the Name of People is successful."
"Yes, I agree with this, but Mr. Yu, I just can't figure out what you used as a reference when writing the characters in this script?"
Xiao Liang asked as if seeking advice.
At his age, he felt that he could not write such a character, but Yu Xiaoshu did it anyway.
Xiao Liang didn't doubt Yu Xiaoshu.
You have to know that he clearly knew that Yu Xiaoshu had been decadent for several years. So for a creator, this decadence might be a kind of experience.
Let me put it this way, what screenwriter hasn’t experienced ups and downs?
Even he, Xiao Liang, had failed for two years and had to write some pornographic dramas.
It's all forced by life.
Xiao Liang could empathize with Yu Xiaoshu on this point, and it was precisely for this reason that Xiao Liang looked down on Bai Suzhen. In Xiao Liang's view, Bai Suzhen was basically too successful, and being too successful would make it impossible for her to truly care about the lower classes.
To put it in plain words, it is not down to earth.
Yes.
Xiao Liang believes that there are talented screenwriters, and Bai Suzhen is also a talented screenwriter, but he is not optimistic about Bai Suzhen's future development.
This time, Xiao Liang thinks that Bai Suzhen is not capable of writing a mission drama about anti-Japanese war.
Bai Suzhen, who has been living abroad for a long time, would not understand the domestic market at all. Or, Xiao Liang thought that if Bai Suzhen really filmed the so-called anti-Japanese drama, Bai Suzhen might not really understand the things of that era.
After all, Bai Suzhen has been somewhat brainwashed by the West, and she still has a bit of the so-called saintliness.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Liang didn't think Bai Suzhen could write any good script.
He even told Lu Yuan that if a person who had no confidence in his own nation, a person who always looked up to foreign countries, were to write scripts or mission dramas, Xiao Liang would always feel that the person would have ulterior motives.
However, Lu Yuan disagrees. He believes that what is national is also global, but there are too few Chinese screenwriters going abroad. Since they have lagged behind the West for so long, they have no choice but to catch up.
Bai Suzhen is still young, so it doesn't matter if she carries some private information with her.
This is a collision of young screenwriters.
The future always belongs to the young. You can't just give up on someone just because you think his or her values are not right.
What we need to do is transformation.
This is the pattern of Luyuan.
Xiao Liang actually didn't agree with Lu Yuan on this point. He thought that there was no point in transforming Bai Suzhen and it would be better to just destroy her.
Well, it’s not real destruction, it’s just ignoring it.
Think about it, someone who has been abroad for a few years and often talks about how excellent things are abroad and how good China is.
Neither this nor that works.
In this case, why use her?
Xiao Liang actually has a kind of ruffian spirit, and this ruffian spirit is also applied to the male protagonists in the scripts written by Xiao Liang. As such, the scripts written by Xiao Liang basically do not have any deep hatred or vengeance. Even in the plots of revenge, the protagonists are always very optimistic.
This kind of light-hearted TV series and movies actually always have a market.
However, Xiao Liang is not only able to write comedies. On the contrary, he is also very good at writing dramas. However, he has been focusing on comedies in recent years.
In Xiao Liang's words, in the current market, if he writes a serious drama, he will not make any money; on the contrary, a comedy is safer.
Yes, I forgot to mention that Xiao Liang also invested in many companies. After all, he himself holds the largest share.
Even Xiao Liang's talent can support a small or medium-sized company.
However, what Xiao Liang did not realize was that serious dramas are gradually gaining market share.
He noticed Yu Xiaoshu since "I Am Yu Huanshui" because Lu Yuan and Xiao Liang once said that it was a pity for Yu Xiaoshu.
But who would have thought that Yu Xiaoshu would stand up again.
Three years, three years, from "I Am Yu Huanshui" to "In the Name of People".
These serious dramas made Xiao Liang himself somewhat doubtful about the market, but almost all the others who followed Yu Xiaoshu's trend failed.
Yes.
All failed.
If Yu Xiaoshu only wrote serious dramas, Xiao Liang would not feel anything, but he never expected that Yu Xiaoshu was so talented in comedy.
The movie "Lost on Journey" is an absolute pinnacle of comedy. The more you watch it, the more you will discover how strong the script of "Lost on Journey" is, and even all the plots are so unexpected and reasonable.
In fact, Xiao Liang has analyzed "Lost on Journey" and talked with other people about the movie "Lost on Journey". In fact, overall, Xiao Liang believes that the other people who want to follow the trend of "Lost on Journey" will definitely die miserably.
Facts have indeed proved that Xiao Liang's guess was correct.
The two movies "Lost in Thailand" and "Lost on Road" have already flopped, and both of them were just following the trend. Apart from that, among the remaining three movies, "Lost on Journey" will be released on August 20, and the other two will be released next month.
In fact, Xiao Liang had advised Wang Yu that if Wang Yu still wanted to find an opportunity, then he could give Wang Yu a chance.
But it's useless.
Wang Yu, who had a strong sense of self-esteem, was not willing to accept Xiao Liang's help at all.
kindness.
It can be said that Wang Yu’s only two good friends in the entertainment industry are Xia Qing and Xiao Liang.
It’s a pity that Wang Yu refused to accept Xiao Liang’s help no matter what, otherwise he would never have ended up like this.
However, what Xiao Liang never expected was that Wang Yu would refuse his help in order to plagiarize.
This incident did make Xiao Liang a little angry.
It’s been so many years since the dispute, but Wang Yu is still brooding over it.
Of course, the two of them had another fight later.
In short, it's completely broken.
Although they broke up, Xiao Liang still wanted to help Wang Yu.
Xia Qing's method is a side path, and Xiao Liang had taken it before. But what can I say? If you only want to take shortcuts, or even only take shortcuts, then the overall situation will never be great.
Xiao Liang didn’t understand it before, but he finally understood it after listening to Lu Yuan’s words.
Sooner or later you will pay for what you have done.
If you are lazy or take shortcuts now, you will get it back in another way in the future.
Xiao Liang had experienced this before, and that was precisely why he would not do that. At the same time, he and Xia Qing were typical people who disliked each other, so naturally they had no friendship at all. Also because he was unhappy with Xia Qing, Xiao Liang believed that Wang Yu must have been fooled by Xia Qing.
Today he came to see Yu Xiaoshu, on the one hand he wanted to ask Yu Xiaoshu about his opinion on serious drama, and on the other hand he naturally wanted to see if Yu Xiaoshu could give Wang Yu a chance.
Wang Yu has indeed had a difficult time in recent years.
As for Yu Xiaoshu, of course he couldn't tell the truth at this time.
say what? ?
They say I wrote "In the Name of People" so well because I'm a plagiarist.
Are you kidding?
So Yu Xiaoshu pretended to be cool and said that he liked reading history because reading history could provide a mirror and there had basically been no difference since ancient times.
That's human nature.
Think about it, in "In the Name of People", there are corrupt officials, lazy officials, and officials who are both corrupt and good. What is the difference between these ancient and modern times? ?
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there seems to be no difference.
"In the years when I failed, I was actually very miserable, but I knew that I couldn't go on like this. If a person keeps indulging in pain, then he or she may be completely ruined. That's why I started reading history, some historical books from various dynasties, and of course, some novels."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Xiao Liang.
After listening to what Yu Xiaoshu said, Xiao Liang was filled with awe.
He knew how difficult it was to get out of the mud, especially for someone like Yu Xiaoshu, who was similar to Wang Yu.
"Teacher Yu, I have something to ask of you."
After talking about film and television dramas, Xiao Liang finally talked about Wang Yu.
"Why?? Do you have something else to ask of me?"
Yu Xiaoshu hadn’t expected this: “Is there anything you can’t do?”
This is not an exaggeration, Fatty Xiao is quite well-known in the screenwriter world.
When it comes to socializing, Yu Xiaoshu doesn't think Xiao Liang has fewer friends than him. On the contrary, Xiao Liang's social circle should be much larger than his.
"Teacher Yu, you flatter me."
Xiao Liang said hurriedly at this time: "Actually, I thought about looking for someone else for this matter, but with Wang Yu's personality, he will definitely not agree."
"Wang Yu??"
Yu Xiaoshu frowned: "Are you familiar with Wang Yu?"
"More than familiar, we used to be best friends, but later on due to some other reasons, we had a falling out, and Wang Yu would rather get together with Xia Qing than accept my help."
Xiao Liang said helplessly: "I am too familiar with Xia Qing. I am afraid that Wang Yu will be dragged into the ditch step by step by him if he turns back, so..."
"So, you want me to sign Wang Yu?"
Yu Xiaoshu suddenly said.
Xiao Liang said seriously: "Yes, I hope that Mr. Yu can help Wang Yu. I know that my request is indeed excessive. After all, it is indeed excessive for Wang Yu and Xia Qing to follow your movie, and I believe that the two of them cannot succeed."
"oh??"
Yu Xiaoshu suddenly laughed: "Why? You think it's impossible for them to succeed by following the trend of Lost on Journey?"
"That's right, it's absolutely impossible to succeed."
Xiao Liang said without thinking: "Teacher Yu, I have watched Lost on Journey no less than ten times. I have thought carefully about every joke, every climax, and every plot in this movie. It is precisely because I have thought about it that I think this movie cannot be successful..."
It was obvious that Xiao Liang had done his homework.
Yu Xiaoshu said at this time: "Okay, I will have someone contact Wang Yu, but we will wait until the movie "Lost on the Road" written by him is released. After all, he must still have some expectations at this time. In this case, let's wait until he no longer has expectations."
Hearing this, Xiao Liang felt relieved: "Thank you, Teacher Yu, I... "
"Haha, no need to thank me, just remember that you owe me a favor."
Yu Xiaoshu laughed and said.
kindness.
At the same time, Bai Su Su said to Xiang Yan: "Although I have been mentally prepared, I still didn't expect Yu Xiaoshu to be so arrogant, and he is so conceited."
Xiang Yan said: "Isn't this normal? After all, Yu Xiaoshu is now at the peak of his career. Susu, I told you that the current Yu Xiaoshu is no longer the Yu Xiaoshu of the past, and he is indeed qualified to be arrogant."
"Haha, okay, I want to see how he continues to expand."
Bai Su Su said to Xiang Yan: "I have already conceived the script. As for the director, just follow your instructions and let your husband direct it."
In Bai Suzhen's opinion, anyone can direct her script.
There is only one result anyway.
That's winning.
Obviously, until now, Bai Suzhen is still floating in the sky.
In the next ten days, this type of mission drama was not the most discussed topic in the industry.
Because "In the Name of People" is finally coming to an end.
