Chapter 513 What does it mean to be shameless? (asking for monthly votes)
For Yu Xiaoshu, he had set the rules as early as when he was writing "I Am Yu Huanshui": No matter who you are, don't even think about changing the script.
Yu Xiaoshu, who was once a gold medal agent, has screenwriters under him. It is precisely because of these screenwriters that he understands the pain of creators better.
Didn’t the screenwriters complain during the previous “Tucao Conference”?
When screenwriters jump off buildings, it is always because of changes, and even when they jump off buildings, they receive calls asking them to make changes.
For this reason, even when Yu Xiaoshu was at a disadvantage and facing Luo Yuan and Sun Hei, he did not change the script. Of course, he could not have spoken in a very tough manner at that time, after all, Yu Xiaoshu was the weaker party.
But what is the situation now???
Yu Xiaoshu is now one of the top screenwriters in China. In just a few years, Yu Xiaoshu has been writing scripts. It cannot be said that his scripts are hard to come by, but his ability has won a lot of recognition.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu didn’t mean that every one of his films would be a huge hit.
As I said before, the same script will give you a different feel when filmed.
Moreover, with different actors, different directors, and different environments, how can every movie be a big hit? ?
Yu Xiaoshu didn't care too much about his failure. The "failure" here didn't mean failure, but just a slightly worse result.
Just like in the TV drama field, the two best-performing scripts written by Yu Xiaoshu are "Soldier Assault" and "Drawing Sword".
These two dramas have set countless records, and their reputation and ratings far exceed others.
But apart from these two TV series, the achievements of "In the Name of People" as a mission drama are far beyond comparison.
At present, there is another mission drama that is preparing to be broadcast on New Year's Day, which is "Mountains and Seas".
Yu Xiaoshu is extremely confident about this drama. Of course, his confidence does not mean that netizens have confidence.
Up to now, the cast of "Mountains and Seas" has been announced to the public. There are no artists from Baiqian Media in the show. At the same time, Yu Xiaoshu's ex-girlfriend Bao Nan is not among them. It can be said that they are all other actors in the industry.
This is not the point, what is the point?
The point is that these actors are not first-tier stars. You have to know that this "Mountains and Seas" is a mission drama, and the script was written by Yu Xiaoshu. If the casting is open to the public, who wouldn't want to compete for the first-tier roles? ?
As a result, the roles were given to less popular actors, some of whom were out of fashion.
Not to mention the newcomers.
These new actors basically had no opportunities, but Yu Xiaoshu was so good that he directly gave them the chance to be the leading actors.
What does he want?
This is something that many people in the industry do not understand. Today’s domestic entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune. In this place of fame and fortune, who can truly stay out of trouble? ? ?
Yu Xiaoshu has always wanted to make a small investment to gain a big return, but he knows that this is quite difficult.
Sometimes, if it’s difficult, don’t you just do it?
No matter how difficult it is, is it harder than when he came to the capital from his hometown? ?
No matter how difficult it is, is it harder than his transformation from a paparazzi hated by everyone to a respected gold medal agent? ? ?
No matter how difficult it is, is it harder than him just crossing over here and becoming a waste with all the malice around him???
Many times, when a person slowly gets used to enjoying life, when a person begins to be content with the status quo, then he will regard the slightest setback as a tragedy.
People are always like this.
You can really endure hardship when you can, but after enjoying it for a while, you no longer understand what hard work is.
This is also why many famous artists repeat themselves over and over again. For them, this is safe. As for breakthroughs, that is impossible.
When you have nothing, you dare to fight and gamble, but when you have a little capital in your hands, you will no longer have any adventurous spirit.
This is true not only for artists but also for directors.
Some directors are breaking through themselves, while some directors are disgusting themselves.
Those who surpass themselves may fail, and those who disgust themselves may work so hard that their hands cramp.
But what Yu Xiaoshu wants to say is that we cannot judge by the results.
If everyone judges by results, then the world will not be a good place.
Yu Xiaoshu respects Yao Qing, because Yao Qing does not belong to these two categories. Yao Qing is the type of person who, when you think he is not good enough, he breaks through himself, and when you think he is standing up, he starts to disgust himself and disgust the audience even more.
Even at this age now, Yao Qing made an art film three years ago that scored a high 9 points, but since then, he has started to disgust everyone again.
Yu Xiaoshu believes in Yao Qing's ability. At such an age, he still maintains strong creativity and work ability. Just based on this point, Yao Qing has already crushed many people.
A popular word nowadays is involution, and when it comes to directors, Yao Qing alone can involuntarily involuntarily involuntarily all directors. Don’t underestimate him because he is an old pervert, but this guy can make even 50-year-old directors vomit blood.
Otherwise, why is Yao Qing currently the top director in China???
If we really talk about seniority, Yao Qing's status is really very high.
Therefore, Ding Xiaoman is really capable. Although no one knows how she got Yao Qing, and Yao Qing even married her, this has nothing to do with Yu Xiaoshu.
To slap someone in the face, that's something only novels can do.
In Yu Xiaoshu's view, this was just a stranger. He said so to other people, and he also said the same thing to Liu Qianqian.
The most important thing is that Yu Xiaoshu was not just talking, he really didn’t take it to heart.
He was also quite respectful to Yao Qing. Even in the case of respecting the elderly and loving the young, he still gave him the face he should give, not to mention that Yao Qing was considered an old man in this industry.
Respect is respect, but don't take advantage of it.
Therefore, after listening to Yao Qing's suggestion, Yu Xiaoshu said, "Mr. Yao, you are right. If a script has a thousand viewers, I believe that these thousand viewers can basically find some flaws."
When Yao Qing first heard Yu Xiaoshu speak, he thought that Yu Xiaoshu was willing to listen to his advice.
But what happens next? ? ?
There is also a script with a thousand audiences???
Can I be the same as those audiences???
So Yao Qing continued: "In that case, then you just need to modify the script. It will mainly be a minor adjustment. I believe..."
This is one of Yao Qing's little tricks. He knows how to get the screenwriter to change the script. He also knows what tricks can make the screenwriter change the script obediently and at the same time make the screenwriter not have any temper to lose.
On the one hand, Yao Qing was prepared to use his power to overwhelm others. After all, he, Yao Qing, was qualified enough. On the other hand, Yao Qing was also prepared to move people with his emotions.
To put it simply, it means giving you a beating and then giving you some sweet treats.
In this regard, Yao Qing often does this, and it can be said that it works every time.
To use a professional term, Yao Qing often uses PUA to the screenwriters under his company, which means he will say that you are useless and then give you some encouragement and think that you can do it.
Yao Qing often does this.
He was like this ten years ago, and a young screenwriter was even so stimulated by Yao Qing that he almost jumped off a building.
In Yao Qing's opinion, Yu Xiaoshu is a young man after all, and he believes that he has a natural advantage.
But he forgot that you, Yao Qing, are a top director, and Yu Xiaoshu is also a top screenwriter.
The more important point is that Yu Xiaoshu is a young man, and young people are full of energy.
For this reason, after Yao Qing finished speaking, Yu Xiaoshu said: "Director Yao, you are right, but you should know that I have always said that my script will not be changed."
Yu Xiaoshu said it very directly, even bluntly.
In his opinion, no matter how much you, Yao Qing, say, it will be useless.
Many people are often embarrassed to refuse others. Or even not just embarrassed to refuse others, but more often they dare not refuse others. Then there are some who are morally kidnapped.
Sometimes, when you give in, the other party will not be grateful, but will instead press on.
When faced with unreasonable requests, you just need to bravely say "no".
Don't feel embarrassed, don't fall into the other person's trap, and don't even think that you owe the other person something by rejecting him/her.
You have to know that when the other party asked excessive questions, he didn’t feel embarrassed, so why should we feel embarrassed if we refuse? ? ?
This is Yu Xiaoshu’s truest thought.
In life, there is a saying that if you endure for a moment, the more you think about it, the angrier you will be; if you take a step back, the more you will suffer. So, don't endure, don't retreat.
If you feel uncomfortable, please speak up at any time.
Remember, when you feel uncomfortable, it is the other person's problem, definitely not yours.
Remember this, no one can PUA you.
Just like Yao Qing now.
He thought that he could convince Yu Xiaoshu, because Yao Qing had mastered the essence of this PUA. As long as he could pry open a small gap with Yu Xiaoshu first, as long as he could convince Yu Xiaoshu of the script and let him modify it a little bit first.
Then everything will fall into place.
He does this kind of thing too many times.
But, the person he met was Yu Xiaoshu.
"No, Director Yao, I told you, there is no need to modify this script."
Yu Xiaoshu still said firmly: "I think this version is the best."
Yao Qing was actually a little angry inside, but he still said patiently: "Xiao Shu, you have to know that there are some things in the script that you don't understand. I think..."
"No, Director Yao, I don't want you to think about this matter."
Yu Xiaoshu interrupted Yao Qing again and said, "I don't think anyone knows more about scripts than me, Director Yao. The market is changing every day, and I am the one who knows the market best. There is nothing wrong with this script. Your suggestions are good, but sometimes good suggestions are not necessarily the most useful..."
This is not only true in terms of scripts, but also in other creative aspects. Sometimes, whether it is industry insiders, or even audiences, or some readers, the suggestions they make are often good, but good suggestions do not necessarily mean they are useful.
As for Yao Qing's suggestion, let alone being useful, Yu Xiaoshu suspected that he might have done it on purpose.
If that's the case, then why bother talking anymore???
You said I, Yu Xiaoshu, don’t understand the script???
Also what do you think? ?
At this moment, Yu Xiaoshu just wanted to make things clear.
I don't need you to feel that.
Because you feel it is of no use.
This script is mine.
I have the final say.
I said I won’t change it.
Then I will definitely not change it.
"How about this, Director Yao, if you really feel that this script is not suitable, then we can work together again in the future. I don't know if Xia Bing has told you before that my script will not be changed."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "You can also think about it. There's no rush. I have something else to do. Just write back to me when you've considered it."
Pop.
After saying that, Yu Xiaoshu hung up the phone.
He thought there was no need to discuss it further.
If you like the script, we can work together.
If you don't like the script, we can work together again in the future.
More importantly, Yu Xiaoshu doesn’t want to waste this time anymore.
He has more important things to do.
Just like that, Yao Qing looked at the phone in a bit of surprise.
Yu Xiaoshu, he actually hung up his phone.
Yu Xiaoshu, he actually hung up his phone.
He was not given the slightest bit of face.
anger.
The more important a person is, the more he cannot be ignored. The most important thing is that the more important a person is, the more he cares about his own face.
Especially, Yao Qing lost face in front of Ding Xiaoman.
Men, it's the same at all times.
I never want to embarrass myself in front of my wife.
The key is still facing my wife’s ex.
A second ago, Yao Qing told Ding Xiaoman that he would teach Yu Xiaoshu a lesson on behalf of Ding Xiaoman and vent her anger.
The next second, Yao Qing was slapped in the face.
And the beating was so fierce.
A little embarrassment is the least of it.
Ding Xiaoman was very calm about this. She sneered in her heart. If we talk about who knows Yu Xiaoshu best, then Ding Xiaoman feels that she is the one who knows Yu Xiaoshu best.
How could this guy give people face?
He is a typical donkey who goes with the flow.
And he never plays by the rules.
But the more this happened, the happier Ding Xiaoman became, because Yao Qing was angry.
Once you get angry, it's easy to talk.
"Hubby, don't be angry. I've already said this about Yu Xiaoshu. He is a bastard, a bastard who gets arrogant when he succeeds. Forget about you. He basically doesn't give face to anyone."
Ding Xiaoman pretended to comfort Yao Qing and said, "Don't bother with him."
"Humph, I just annoyed him a little before, but now, I think I have to let him know what the rules are."
Yao Qing snorted coldly.
This is Yao Qing. He had been determined to plot against Yu Xiaoshu from the very beginning, but now because Yu Xiaoshu refused to take the bait, he became even more cruel towards Yu Xiaoshu.
What does it mean to be shameless?
What does it mean to be shameless?
That's it.
