Chapter 553 Damn, that's too much
At the beginning, Yu Xiaoshu and Bai Susu were both students of the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy, but the only difference was that Yu Xiaoshu was from the class of 2009, while Bai Susu was from the class of 2008.
How to say it?
The relationship between the two people is a sister-brother relationship.
Both of them are talented screenwriters of the same level, and Yu Xiaoshu is both talented and handsome. Well, let’s not talk about Yu Xiaoshu’s talent, it’s normal for him to fall in love just based on this face.
You know, there were also many people who were greedy for Yu Xiaoshu at that time.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Bai Suzhen looks so annoying now. She was completely different from that when she was in school. She was straightforward and free-spirited.
Moreover, it was Bai Suzhen who received Yu Xiaoshu when he reported as a freshman.
Later, the two of them occasionally wrote small works together, and Bai Suzhen, as a senior, was very caring towards Yu Xiaoshu.
As the saying goes, if a girl chases a boy, she will catch him easily.
Although Bai Suzhen usually cares for Yu Xiaoshu in every possible way, she finally pushed him to the ground after watching a movie during the Spring Festival.
Because Yu Xiaoshu usually doesn't go home for the Spring Festival, and that was basically the case, Bai Suzhen finally chose not to go home that year. She stayed in the imperial capital, and then accompanied Yu Xiaoshu to watch the Lunar New Year movie, and then went to the bar together after that.
That year, it was a New Year's Eve celebration.
It was past 2 o'clock when they finished partying, and Yu Xiaoshu didn't drink much. At that time, Yu Xiaoshu was still relatively restrained in drinking. But he found that Bai Suzhen had drunk too much, so he could only book a hotel room, and then he was pushed back.
Of course, Bai Suzhen had never been in a relationship after all. Although she seemed to be able to say anything and often made dirty jokes in the dormitory, she actually had zero practical experience except for reading some teaching content.
Not even a kiss.
So, although Yu Xiaoshu was pushed backwards, in fact, it was Yu Xiaoshu who controlled the direction in the end.
New year, new atmosphere.
When two people start dating, they usually announce it after they have a fight.
At that time, the industry was naturally full of blessings, a talented man and a talented woman.
Be it classmates, teachers, or people in the same industry, they basically all send their blessings.
However, this relationship only lasted for a year and ended when Bai Suzhen graduated.
The reason is simple.
When the two people spend every day together, conflicts naturally arise. Yu Xiaoshu is a relatively strong person. At the beginning, Bai Suzhen was still giving in to Yu Xiaoshu, but after half a year, the conflicts between the two became more and more serious.
One wants to go west, the other wants to go east.
Bai Suzhen wanted Yu Xiaoshu to accompany her abroad, but Yu Xiaoshu felt that it was fine staying in the country.
Not only that, the two people also found themselves increasingly conflicted in other areas.
Looking back now, both of them had their own reasons for breaking up.
But in fact, because Bai Suzhen was the one who pursued Yu Xiaoshu, Bai Suzhen listened to Yu Xiaoshu most of the time, even from the very beginning how she did things and behaved to the very end when it came to clothes.
The original owner had a strong desire for control, so if this happened later, people would definitely say that the original owner was PUAing Bai Suzhen.
The more humble she was in the relationship, the more hatred Bai Suzhen had for Yu Xiaoshu after they broke up.
It was precisely because the original owner brought harm, or mental harm, to Bai Suzhen that Bai Suzhen never fell in love again.
kindness.
She thinks all men are bad.
During these years abroad, Bai Suzhen was not without suitors. On the contrary, she had many suitors, including some well-known movie stars.
But the love between men and women in foreign countries is more open. Bai Suzhen was assimilated into Western culture, but she was not assimilated by this kind of openness of Western love. On the contrary, she was quite disgusted with it.
Precisely because of her disgust, Bai Suzhen would basically give anyone who pursued her a beating.
Her temper was indeed bad, but it also saved her some trouble.
Originally, Bai Suzhen wanted to return to China after two years, but because of Xiang Yan's invitation and her father's getting older, Bai Suzhen came back early.
At that time, Yu Xiaoshu had completely come out of the quagmire of divorce. Both the online drama and the TV drama were quite classics. As Bai Suzhen's best friend, Xiang Yan often talked to her about news about Yu Xiaoshu.
Because in Xiang Yan's opinion, Bai Suzhen obviously still likes Yu Xiaoshu.
Many times, hating someone to the extreme is actually because of love.
Otherwise, why has Bai Su Su never been in love for so many years?
Why is it that after so many years, Bai Su Su still gets angry when she mentions Yu Xiao Shu? ?
But Bai Suzhen didn't think so. She believed that she just hated Yu Xiaoshu from the bottom of her heart, and she just disliked Yu Xiaoshu from the beginning to the end.
Because she hates Yu Xiaoshu, Bai Suzhen basically hasn't watched any of his previous works, such as "I Am Yu Huanshui" and "The Silent Truth".
After returning to China, she began to pay attention to the news about Yu Xiaoshu, but she felt that the news that Yu Xiaoshu's products must be high-quality and Baiqian Media's products must be high-quality were just PR articles.
No matter how powerful Yu Xiaoshu is, he is only powerful in the country.
What really changed Bai Suzhen's mind a little was the subsequent hit of "In the Name of People". She didn't think much of it at first, but later she watched a few episodes with her father after it was aired, and then gradually she felt that Yu Xiaoshu was a good guy.
But that's all.
Then Bai Suzhen also watched "Love Is Not Blind" with Xiang Yan, and she admitted that Yu Xiaoshu did have certain abilities.
Then, Bai Suzhen finished reading all the other works of Yu Xiaoshu. Although she was still not convinced verbally, she knew in her heart that the genius Yu Xiaoshu was back.
It is precisely because of this that Bai Suzhen wanted to rely on "My Grandma" to defeat "Drawing Sword" directed by Yu Xiaoshu.
When they were dating, no, not just dating, the original owner kept saying how bad Bai Suzhen was.
At that time, because Bai Suzhen had a slight blind liking and admiration for Yu Xiaoshu, she also believed what Yu Xiaoshu said.
Now, after so many years, especially the past few years that Bai Suzhen has been abroad, every time she thinks of the PUA she received from Yu Xiaoshu, she thinks it is a shame, so she just wants to defeat Yu Xiaoshu.
From this we can also see why Bai Suzhen loses her rational judgment every time she encounters something with Yu Xiaoshu, and even becomes unreasonable most of the time.
Before, Xiang Yan once told her husband privately that Yu Xiaoshu had done a lot of harm to Bai Suzhen.
However, the reputation of "My Grandma", which Bai Su Su wrote with great enthusiasm, collapsed, and the collapse of reputation made Bai Su Su feel puzzled. She even wondered if there was something wrong with the aesthetic taste of the mainland audience? ?
No, it’s not that she feels, she thinks it is.
Many people in the mainland have said before that the audience has completely lost their aesthetic taste because they have been eating pig food for a long time.
Although this is a bit exaggerated, it is also the truth.
In such a situation, Bai Suzhen did not think that it was a problem with "My Grandma" because it is never wrong to be anti-war.
But Bai Suzhen never expected that Yu Xiaoshu, who had the same mission as her, would become a god again with "Drawing Sword".
In fact, Bai Suzhen herself doesn't like the TV series "Bright Sword". In her opinion, this TV series is a bit unconventional. It seems passionate and shows the intelligence of various forces, but it seems to be a bit smearing.
Anyway, she didn't like it.
But the audience liked it.
It is true that the anti-Japanese dramas have seriously polluted everyone's eyes. Now that there is finally a phenomenal TV series, the audience will of course like it.
As for other so-called professional evaluations? ?
What does it have to do with me?
For this reason, Bai Suzhen actually said in an interview that the TV series "Bright Sword" has outstanding advantages, but also outstanding disadvantages, such as swearing at every turn, disobeying discipline, and even in other aspects, taking pride in being uneducated. This could not have been the style of the time.
kindness.
What Bai Suzhen said was not unreasonable, and some of her ideas were even correct.
But just like Zou Jun said to Bai Suzhen before, in the general environment, if there are a few dramas that can save the market, the shortcomings should be corrected later, but you can't always focus on the shortcomings and show your own uniqueness.
What Zou Jun said was very serious.
The truth is actually simple.
Because in these years, no, not these years, it can be said that in the past twenty years, people always have various requirements for domestic dramas, and some people even pick out some problems even if there are no problems at all.
If you really want to say it, it's true. After all, this proves that people have high requirements for domestic dramas, which is a good thing.
But can you please stop having double standards?
People find all kinds of flaws in domestic dramas, but think that foreign dramas are good in every way, and even think that the flaws are justified.
There are fans of Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, and even India.
In short, this is what Zou Jun hates extremely.
He originally thought that Bai Su Su was not such a person, because both Bai Su Su and Yu Xiao Shu belonged to a confident generation, and they should know the hypocrisy of some Western culture.
But Zou Jun never expected that Bai Suzhen would be assimilated so thoroughly after going abroad.
To say it is assimilation is still a nice word, to put it bluntly, it actually means kneeling.
Kneel down to Western culture.
After only a few years abroad, Bai Suzhen has become like this. This is something Zou Jun had not expected and was quite disappointing. Because of this, Zou Jun spoke more seriously about Bai Suzhen. He hoped that Bai Suzhen could stand higher and look at the world. This world is not just round and bright like the moon in the West.
It's a pity that we are talking at cross purposes.
Zou Jun thought he was speaking with good intentions, but Bai Suzhen thought the teacher was outdated, working in isolation, and arrogant. The teacher didn't know the outside world, and she could no longer keep up with the trend.
kindness.
Bai Suzhen has always thought so, and she doesn't think she has done anything wrong. This time, the script she wrote, "Rescue in the End of the World", is a script she is very good at.
Not only that, this script received an 'S' rating from the Foreign Screenwriters Guild, which means that the script is excellent.
For this reason, there is no need to worry about the investment for "The Rescue".
In recent years, in the era of blockbusters, a movie with an investment of 100 million yuan is not considered a big production, not to mention overseas, where investment productions start at 100 million US dollars.
Bai Suzhen has great ambitions. This movie may not only be released in China, but will definitely be released abroad. By then, Bai Suzhen wants to prove that she can be successful both at home and abroad.
Not to mention the overseas situation, Bai Suzhen was severely slapped in the face in China.
Western Hollywood-style science fiction cannot represent Chinese science fiction.
Bai Suzhen is a genius, an extremely conceited genius. It is impossible for such a genius to change her opinions just because of a few opinions, a few criticisms, or even box office failure.
Why do some directors always fail but never change? ?
Because successful people are always paranoid, they always think that there is nothing wrong with them.
Because you believe that there is nothing wrong with you, you will naturally not change.
The same is true for Bai Suzhen.
When the word-of-mouth for "The Rescue" was polarized two days before its release, she felt that this was normal, quite normal. The polarized word-of-mouth proved that this movie was a good hit.
It was not until the third day that the box office of "Rescue" dropped sharply, reaching only 170 million yuan, while the single-day box office of "The Wandering Earth" reached 520 million yuan on that day.
520 million is not enough for domestic movie box office, even foreign movies have not achieved such a result in China.
Why? ? ?
Bai Suzhen actually didn't understand at first, and then she talked about this with Xiang Yan.
After all, Xiang Yan is also a well-known screenwriter.
In this regard, Xiang Yan actually has a similar idea to other screenwriters. She believes that "The Wandering Earth" really has the potential to open the door to a revival of science fiction. Even the company where Xiang Yan works has begun accepting science fiction scripts.
At the same time, Xiang Yan felt that Bai Suzhen had been quite prejudiced against Yu Xiaoshu over the years.
This kind of prejudice is difficult to change in a short period of time, but "The Wandering Earth" is really an excellent script.
Excellent movie.
Bai Suzhen didn't say anything at the time. She later secretly watched "The Wandering Earth". Then, the single-day box office of "The Wandering Earth" soared to 450 million on the fifth day, and the box office successfully broke 2.1 billion.
It can be said that this is the movie with the fastest box office growth and the fastest movie to break 2.1 billion.
Okay.
Bai Susu struggled for a long time, and finally decided to give Yu Xiaoshu a call to wish him a happy birthday, but she didn't expect Yu Xiaoshu to be like this.
Bai Suzhen, feeling upset, seemed to remember the time when Yu Xiaoshu PUA'd her, and then she exploded instantly.
She didn't know why she lost her mind with Yu Xiaoshu and always got angry at the slightest provocation, so she came to Yu Xiaoshu's hotel early in the morning.
He came here aggressively, but was directly scolded by Yu Xiaoshu as shameless???
At this time, Bai Suzhen completely exploded.
"That's right. Haha, I'm shameless. Not only am I shameless, I'm also a fool. If I wasn't a fool, why would I date you in the first place? But you haven't been in a relationship since your divorce. It seems that it's just as the rumors say. You've suffered retribution..."
Bai Su Su roared at Yu Xiaoshu.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaoshu just invited Bai Suzhen into the house, otherwise this would probably become tomorrow's headlines in an instant.
But retribution? ?
What retribution?
Bai Su Su only looked at Yu Xiao Shu with a little contempt: "You are indeed impotent, otherwise how could you not fall in love with your lustful appearance?"
Yu Xiaoshu: “???”
Damn it.
That's too much.
