Chapter 512 Yao Qing: Do you know what is the most painful thing for a screenwriter?
Netizens didn't pay much attention to the celebration party for "No Return".
After all, the box office of "No Return" is not very strong now, and "No Return" originally wanted to take advantage of the celebration banquet to increase the box office a little bit.
But now it seems that it really doesn't work.
Because after the celebration banquet, everyone's attention turned to Yao Qing's private life.
Yao Qing is 73 years old this year, while Ding Xiaoman is only 32 years old. It is not an exaggeration to say that Yao Qing is Ding Xiaoman's grandfather.
Before today, everyone thought that the two of them should have no contact with each other.
As a result, we fell in love.
No.
Yes, I’m married.
But Yao Qing just got divorced last year, how can they get married so soon???
You should know that this is Yao Qing’s seventh marriage.
How to say it in such a circle of veteran actors? ?
It is normal to fall in love. Some veteran actors change women just like changing clothes, while some others divorce and get married easily.
But the most was only three or four times.
It's rare to find someone like Yao Qing who has been married seven times.
This is just a marriage. After all, some directors or people of status like Yao Qing actually have to save face. Married people will not divorce easily. Moreover, after so many divorces, they usually divorce once or twice and then find an obedient wife.
Just like someone’s wife, no matter what you do outside, she will always stand by you, clean up your mess, and be your perfect wife.
These are very common in the entertainment industry.
Yao Qing's third wife had a quarrel with Yao Qing once, because to him, she felt that she was already quite good and had made the utmost sacrifices. She gave birth to three children for Yao Qing, tolerated Yao Qing in various ways, and even helped Yao Qing to look decent.
As a result, even after all this, Yao Qing still divorced her.
This was something Yao Qing's ex-wife couldn't tolerate.
I have tolerated you so much. You can find any woman you want outside. I just hope you can come home for a while, and then I can be the director's wife.
But Yao Qing was not satisfied.
In Yao Qing's words, if you don't love me anymore, you don't love me anymore.
I will only get married if I love someone. If I get married just to maintain a so-called superficial marriage, I might as well die.
In short, Yao Qing truly interpreted the saying that a man remains a boy until he dies.
No matter when Yao Qing was 18 years old or now that Yao Qing has become an old man, his love for young women has always remained the same.
Some men have always liked girls in their 20s, but Yao Qing likes young women in their 30s.
This hobby has never changed.
It's really fucking consistent.
So after the celebration party for "No Return", the online discussion basically became like this.
At the same time, Yao Qing also swept away his previous low-key attitude. In an interview, he said: "Manman is the woman I have been waiting for. She understands me and knows me. For this reason, I am willing to spend my life with Manman."
Shame on you.
If these words were said by 40-year-old Yao Qing and 30-year-old Ding Xiaoman, then perhaps everyone would still say they are in love.
But what is it now? ?
A 73-year-old man said this to a 32-year-old woman.
Do you say touched?
I'm not moved at all, it's just disgusting.
Therefore, Yao Qing is still stuck in the last century, still thinking that everyone should praise him, respect him, and even that whatever he says should be the truth.
In response to this, netizens said: "Grandpa, can you please stop thinking about it???"
Baiqian Media.
Yu Xiaoshu said to Liu Qianqian: "What? A little unhappy?"
Liu Qianqian felt a bit defeated: "Teacher Yu, I thought I could take advantage of these few days to get rid of those big Vs Xiao Xiao, but I never expected that it would be useless."
Liu Qianqian thought this was a failure, but for Yu Xiaoshu, this was normal.
On Weibo, it can be said that public opinion is now quite severe.
It can be said that in the trial by public opinion, everyone seemed to release their own malice.
No matter what happens, everyone just wants to kill each other.
How can such an environment be good???
In fact, when Liu Qianqian was a water army, she also wanted to release her malicious intent in this way.
In this regard, Yu Xiaoshu has actually been suppressing it.
Yu Xiaoshu was of course angry about Xiao Xiao and other big Vs making the movie "Detective Chinatown", but to be honest, no matter how angry he was, he did not intend to really use public opinion to judge.
As I said, never try to manipulate public opinion.
Because in the end, you will be swept away by public opinion.
It may even backfire on you due to public opinion.
This is Yu Xiaoshu’s pattern.
"Mr. Liu, I don't think there's anything wrong with this. We don't need to resort to any means. Morally, we can judge Xiao Xiao, but legally, if it's our fault, we can just hand it over to the police."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand slightly and said, "The most urgent task now should be to start promoting The Wandering Earth. After all, there are only a few months left, and I have a feeling that this year's Spring Festival schedule will be quite ugly."
“Pretty ugly???”
Liu Qianqian was puzzled: "Teacher Yu, what do you mean???"
"Last year's Spring Festival had already set a new record for the lowest box office in the past three years. For the audience, the ticket price for a movie is already as high as 80 yuan. Even in third- and fourth-tier cities, the average price for a movie is as high as 50 yuan. Four people will have to pay 200 yuan to watch a movie. Do you think the audience will watch it?"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said, "It's easy to raise prices, but the theater won't easily lower the prices once they've been raised. I know what the theaters are saying, which is roughly how difficult it is, but who has it easy? No one's money comes from the wind."
This is the truth.
The most important thing is that Yu Xiaoshu clearly remembers how many viewers left last year???
Many times, it is easy to lose audience, but it is extremely difficult to invite them back.
This year, Yu Xiaoshu is actually pessimistic about the Spring Festival period.
If the overall environment is not good, the audience's requirements for movies will be extremely high.
In such a situation, it all depends on one's own ability.
The publicity and promotion costs will be quite large.
Let’s not talk about whether you can make a profit or not, but if you don’t pay the publicity and promotion costs first, then you won’t have a chance to schedule a film later.
During the Spring Festival, the scheduling of films determines life and death.
If your schedule is pretty crappy, then you won't have any chance of rising.
No matter how good a movie is, it is extremely difficult to make a comeback during the Spring Festival.
After all, the Spring Festival period is only a few days long.
There is no room for error on this point.
"Teacher Yu, I understand. I will go and prepare now."
Liu Qianqian nodded seriously.
The more she interacted with Yu Xiaoshu, the more she felt that Yu Xiaoshu was completely different from what the outside world said.
In the outside world, many people think that Yu Xiaoshu is a vengeful person and is very vindictive.
But look at the past few years that Yu Xiaoshu has been at Baiqian Media.
Look at how many people Yu Xiaoshu often helps. Even some of them have offended Yu Xiaoshu before, but Yu Xiaoshu still lets it go gently and even gives these people a chance.
This fully proves how unreliable what the outside world says is.
"Well, Mr. Yu, you are not angry about attending the celebration party of "No Return"."
Liu Qianqian finally asked Yu Xiaoshu.
"angry???"
Yu Xiaoshu was stunned: "Why am I angry?"
Liu Qianqian said carefully: "After all, your ex-wife..."
Yu Xiaoshu was a little amused: "It happened so many years ago. In my opinion, Ding Xiaoman is already a stranger. Would you be angry with a stranger?"
Besides, Yu Xiaoshu still had something else to say.
What gives him the most headache now is not his ex-wife.
His biggest headache now is his ex.
Yu Xiaoshu couldn't handle these ex-girlfriends, so how could he have the time to deal with Ding Xiaoman? ? ?
As for the web drama "Sito", it should be written, but Yu Xiaoshu did not write it himself. He handed it to the screenwriter, who plans to write the first 10 episodes and send them to Yao Qing in the next few days.
As I said, we are all adults and everything is based on interests.
If you, Ding Xiaoman, really want to play in the web drama "Sito", it's fine, but I have only one request, the script cannot be changed.
Three days later.
The scripts for the first 10 episodes of "Sito" were handed over to Yao Qing.
"Yu Xiaoshu's play doesn't feature a heroine. He probably wants to create a couple, like Si Teng and Qin Fang in the play. And it looks like this script is a bit of a scam..."
Yao Qing finished reading the scripts for the first 10 episodes.
The story of "Sito" is okay, and Yao Qing also agrees with Yu Xiaoshu's ability to write web dramas. However, if the show is filmed according to the script, Ding Xiaoman may not be a highlight.
Who does Yao Qing want to promote???
He wants to praise his wife.
Ding Xiaoman said: "Hubby, we don't use this script anyway, why should we discuss it?"
"That's different. Yu Xiaoshu has personality, and I do hate people with personality, but Yu Xiaoshu's ability is beyond doubt. In this case, let's take a look at Yu Xiaoshu's script first, and then look at some of his ideas. This won't be wrong."
Yao Qing shook his head slightly: "Look, I can't always accompany you after you join the crew. Most of the time, you have to learn to read the script by yourself."
Actors need to be able to read the script.
This is actually the most basic ability of an actor.
However, many actors nowadays do not know how to read scripts, even though they have such a basic ability. Because they do not know how to read scripts, they often think that the movies they make are good, but in fact they are all bad movies.
This is the dilemma of domestic entertainment.
Although Yao Qing has a bad character, his abilities are still very strong. In the entertainment industry, character and ability are often inconsistent. Many people have bad character but very strong abilities.
Be it Yao Qing, or a few other directors and actors, they are all like this; their character is just rubbish, but they are very talented.
Just like how many scumbags are intellectuals.
Among them, Xia Bing has a pretty good character, but his ability as a director is the worst.
Xia Bing has one advantage, that is, he is down-to-earth and hardworking, and he has a spirit of not admitting defeat. It is precisely because of this spirit of not admitting defeat that he has been able to gradually gain a foothold in the film industry.
Yao Qing is a man of great talent, and his ability to write scripts is extremely strong. Sometimes Yao Qing writes a script in the morning, another in the afternoon, and another in the evening.
Even three scripts can achieve good results.
This is Yao Qing's ability.
Over the years, as Yao Qing has grown older, his ability to write scripts has of course gradually declined, but if it declines further, it depends on who he is compared with.
Compared with Ding Xiaoman, there is no comparison between Yao Qing and her at all.
Yao Qing had already finished writing the script for the play that Ding Xiaoman was going to film. In the past few years, Yao Qing has been helping Ding Xiaoman write scripts. Of course, out of love for her, he wanted to promote Ding Xiaoman.
"Okay, then we must severely torture Yu Xiaoshu. Why is he so arrogant? No matter how powerful he is, can he be as powerful as you, my husband? Don't you know what kind of character he was at the celebration party for "No Return" a few days ago?"
Ding Xiaoman said with tears in her eyes at this time.
"Don't worry, do you know what is the most painful thing for a screenwriter?"
Yao Qing said to Ding Xiaoman with a smile.
Ding Xiaoman shook her head slightly: "Of course I don't know, husband, what is the most painful thing for a screenwriter???"
Yao Qing laughed: "Modifying the script, do you know why many screenwriters suffer from depression? Because many screenwriters have to modify the script like crazy. If they are not modifying the script, they are on the way to modifying the script. For a screenwriter, do you know when you don't need to modify the script???"
Ding Xiaoman said in a very flattering tone: "When is it not needed???"
Yao Qing smiled and said, "Dead. If the screenwriter dies, he will keep changing the script. Even though Yu Xiaoshu is a platinum screenwriter and he is so talented, I tell you, he will get tired of changing the script. So, I will make him change it. I will make him change the script and torture him severely..."
You know, for Yao Qing, it is quite easy to find some shortcomings in "Sito", this is extremely easy.
He smiled and said to Ding Man: "Look at how I did it."
After saying that, Yao Qing dialed Yu Xiaoshu's number and turned on the speaker.
"Xiao Shu, I've read your script. It's very good. The first 10 episodes are also well written. But I have an immature idea about Si Teng..."
Yao Qing said it very politely with a smile on his face. In his opinion, he had given Yu Xiaoshu such a big favor, so shouldn't Yu Xiaoshu listen to him? ?
Besides, Yao Qing was very cunning, he just made a small suggestion.
He thought Yu Xiaoshu would definitely listen.
Then.
He overthought it.
