Chapter 564 Respect Your Choice (asking for monthly ticket)
Yes.
The time is almost ripe.
At the beginning, Yu Xiaoshu wanted to become a director right away. Because he had been an agent before, he felt that being a director was not that difficult.
For this reason, after writing several web dramas, Yu Xiaoshu wanted to direct and act in "Let the Bullets Fly".
Being both a director and an actor.
But in the end, Yu Xiaoshu finally gave up everything.
First of all, being a director is not that easy. If you think that being a director is just a title like some stars, then being a director is quite easy. After all, you don’t have to worry about anything. You just have to keep an eye on the set. There are assistant directors to do all the work, so it is of course easy.
But Yu Xiaoshu doesn't like to do this.
For him, he always wants to be the one in control.
In another world, when he was an agent, he liked to control everything in his own hands. No matter how awesome or powerful you are, if you don't listen to his orders, then get out.
Yu Xiaoshu has trained many artists, and all of them have one thing in common: "Be obedient."
For this reason, it is definitely impossible for Yu Xiaoshu to be a god of wealth as a director.
What he has to do is to have absolute control over the crew.
From actor selection, to scene arrangement, to casting and so on, Yu Xiaoshu must have done all of these himself.
The casting of "The Beginning" is easier to deal with. After all, many people are eager to star in their own web dramas. Even though people like Wu Jian, Wang Zhong, and Ma Ting would refuse this web drama, some people who have no chance, who want to turn things around, and even some first-line artists, are basically willing to star in Yu Xiaoshu's web drama.
Secondly, Yu Xiaoshu temporarily gave up his attempt to become an actor.
Just as Su Qing had advised him before.
He is a human being, not a machine.
What's more, all of Yu Xiaoshu's talents do not come from himself. He is just a bridge. To put it bluntly, he is a plagiarist.
You can copy it now.
What's next? ?
Just like what Yu Xiaoshu had thought when he was filming "Let the Bullets Fly", he wanted to be an actor, and he directly wanted to play the role of Liuzi in "Let the Bullets Fly", directing and acting in it himself. It was his first film work and directorial debut, and he shocked Yuan Xing with "Let the Bullets Fly".
Of course, it was a good idea, but after directing it, Yu Xiaoshu found out that being a director is not that simple. One can even say that it is far from easy to do it without practice.
This is the first point. Second, this is even more true for actors.
Just like some young actors’ acting skills are terrible, many people think they can do it too, but often after they do it they find out that they really can’t do it.
Yu Xiaoshu originally thought that his acting skills were better than those of other young actors, but when he played the role of Liuzi, he felt awkward in every way, which was completely different.
It was precisely because of this that Yu Xiaoshu made a prompt decision to stop directing and acting.
There is no shame in admitting that you are not as skilled as others.
Therefore, Yu Xiaoshu later became a screenwriter.
He was not idle. On the one hand, Yu Xiaoshu wrote scripts, and on the other hand, Yu Xiaoshu studied hard. Since he wanted to be a director, he had to learn how to be a director.
For this purpose, Yu Xiaoshu bought a bunch of books.
Such as "The New Director's Road", "The Road to Film", "Film and Economy" and so on.
This is one of the reasons why Su Qing thinks Yu Xiaoshu is a pervert.
That is, Yu Xiaoshu seems to have endless energy. After writing so many scripts, he still has time to read and study.
This is why Su Qing didn’t know about Yu Xiaoshu’s cheat.
After all, it doesn't take Yu Xiaoshu any time to write the script.
After being in this world for so long, Yu Xiaoshu finally decided to direct and act in this drama himself.
After all, for Yu Xiaoshu, he thought the time had come.
But Yu Xiaoshu still underestimated everyone's opinion.
For example, Judy.
Judy knew that Yu Xiaoshu's scripts were good. He even knew that as long as it was Yu Xiaoshu's script, it would often be successful.
This is normal.
But Yu Xiaoshu was the director. Thinking of this, Judy first asked, "Teacher Yu, what do you mean???"
After all, Judy has seen many directors who are just figureheads.
Some artists or other people want to be directors just for fame.
If Yu Xiaoshu did the same, then Judy would be understandable.
After all, Yu Xiaoshu’s career as a screenwriter has really reached its limit.
In the director circle, Yu Xiaoshu is still a little brother after all.
Yu Xiaoshu wants to change his career.
It's very common for screenwriters to become directors.
But we also need to see how it is done.
For now, Judy thinks it is feasible for Yu Xiaoshu to do this.
"Do I need to explain this again?"
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and said, "This "Beginning" will be my directorial debut. I will direct it myself. I know what you think, but I will not let others direct this play. I will direct it myself..."
It's over.
Judy knew that geniuses were generally paranoid. Since Yu Xiaoshu said so, he would definitely do so.
However, Judy still wanted to advise: "Teacher Yu, after all, it's like a mountain between two different trades, and it's not that easy to be a director. You also know that several screenwriters have failed in their attempts to become directors. Writing a script is one thing, but being able to write it is another..."
To be honest, Judy finally wanted to give Yan Ming a chance, or a chance to become more famous. She really didn't want Yu Xiaoshu to experiment with such a script.
"Director Zhu, how many times have we worked together? When do you think I would make fun of my own work?"
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand slightly and said, "This time, I will definitely shoot "The Beginning" well, and I will direct it independently. Of course, if you really don't believe me, then we can do it later..."
"No, no, no, Mr. Yu, how could I not believe you?"
Judy waved her hands and said, "Okay, that's it. I'll take the script back first. I'll go back and talk to these artists. Do they need to audition for the play?"
"There's no need for an audition."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand slightly: "I believe in these people, and I also believe in your vision."
"That's fine."
Judy nodded gently: "That's it for now."
Just like that, Judy took Yan Ming away.
After returning to the company, Judy called everyone over and told them about Yu Xiaoshu.
Obviously, when the others heard that they could play the roles in Yu Xiaoshu's play, they were of course very excited.
After all, this is Yu Xiaoshu's role.
As for Yu Xiaoshu, he called Song Yi: "Song Yi, it's me. Yes, come over now."
Half an hour later, Song Yi arrived.
Now, because of Zou Feng's increasing popularity, Song Yi can be said to be quite busy with his work.
But no matter how busy he was, he naturally came over when he received Yu Xiaoshu's call.
Nothing else.
Yu Xiaoshu is really too important.
Song Yi and other agents thought similarly.
That is, as long as she can hold on to Yu Xiaoshu's thigh, and if Zou Feng can be given the leading female role in the next play, then everything will be fine.
kindness.
Song Yi’s idea was quite beautiful.
As long as we can make another play, a movie similar to "The Wandering Earth", it doesn't matter even if the box office is a little less than "The Wandering Earth", 20 or 30 billion less.
kindness.
Song Yi is really jealous of the movie "The Wandering Earth", or any normal person would be jealous.
But if you miss it, you miss it.
Then just focus on what’s in front of you.
Since Yu Xiaoshu called me, there must be something going on.
What's more, Song Yi is truly grateful to Yu Xiaoshu from the bottom of his heart.
If it weren’t for Yu Xiaoshu, Zou Feng would not have been able to gain attention with “The Bad Kids”, and would have never become a big hit with the role of Sinuo in “Detective Chinatown 3”.
In short, Zou Feng was almost entirely made famous by Yu Xiaoshu.
With such a relationship, Song Yi would of course want to get closer to Yu Xiaoshu.
"Teacher Yu."
Song Yi said respectfully to Yu Xiaoshu: "I was accompanying Xiao Feng to participate in a program. I came here as soon as I received your call."
"Sit down, take a look at this script first."
Yu Xiaoshu said as he handed Song Yi the script.
It’s also the script for “The Beginning.”
Episode 1: Passengers on the exploding bus encounter a dream within a dream.
Episode 2: Xiao Heyun passively joins the explosion cycle.
Obviously, Song Yi is inferior to Judy in this respect.
Judy originally wanted to stop watching after two episodes, but Song Yi was different and he continued watching.
Episode 3: The police used the facts of criminal detention as an excuse.
Xiao Heyun decided to sort out the context of the incident before the police came. So far, there have been ten cycles in total. The tenth time they woke up was at 1:36, and the explosion occurred at 1:42, which was caused by the explosion at the intersection and the tanker. The ninth time, they woke up at 1:37. The time of the explosion was uncertain and the location of the explosion was the cross-river bridge. This time it was artificially detonated. Through layer-by-layer analysis, they found that the time of waking up would be one minute earlier each time, but what does this earlier time mean?
The two analyzed the time of getting on the car and the previous cycles of Li Shiqing. However, Xiao Heyun felt that Li Shiqing was hiding the truth when she hesitated. The only thing Li Shiqing could remember was the ringtone of the old mobile phone. Li Shiqing talked about Zhang Cheng's questioning when she woke up for the sixth time. She felt that the police would not believe them. However, Xiao Heyun felt that the innocent would be innocent. As long as the police could find the bomb in the car, their suspicion would be cleared.
…
Zhang Cheng led Jiang Feng and others to find the two and took them back to the Public Security Bureau. On the way, Zhang Cheng arranged for the two to sit in separate cars and asked Xiao Heyun about the purpose of his trip that day. A friend called and questioned Xiao Heyun about why he was late and embarrassed the investor. Xiao Heyun turned off the phone in embarrassment. When Zhang Cheng asked about Li Shiqing's situation, he replied truthfully that they had just met on the bus.
The surveillance video of the accident vehicle was difficult to retrieve, and Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing were the only breakthroughs in the case. Facing Zhang Cheng's questioning, Li Shiqing was unable to speak at all, so Zhang Cheng had to take the analysis paper that Xiao Heyun had thrown in the trash can and put it in front of her.
Facing the impatient Jiang Feng, Xiao Heyun's explanation did not work at all. He began to fidget as he looked at the clock on the wall. Jiang Feng asked his leader, Director Du, for instructions. Director Du was very dissatisfied with Jiang Feng's temper and decided to conduct a drug test.
…
I have to say, after Song Yi finished reading the first three episodes, he thought the script was really good.
In the first three episodes, each one has high-energy scenes.
The most important thing is that every episode keeps you in suspense.
This is an infinite flow.
Infinite loop.
The role of Li Shiqing is indeed good at the moment.
But Song Yi was thinking about something else.
That's right.
He feels that Zou Feng is no longer suitable for acting in web dramas.
For Song Yi, in addition to playing Sinuo in "Detective Chinatown 3", Zou Feng also starred in another movie last year which also did well at the box office.
These two movies cannot be said to have secured Zou Feng’s career, but they did make her a popular figure at the time.
In such a situation, if Zou Feng returns to act in web dramas again.
Then it's really not worth it.
That's right.
For Song Yi, he felt it was not worth it.
It's just not worth it.
Even if this web drama was written by Yu Xiaoshu.
Besides, over the past year or so, Baiqian Media’s online dramas have been visibly declining.
This is a fact.
However, Song Yi knew that he couldn't reject Yu Xiaoshu openly.
He looked up and had already thought of a countermeasure: "Teacher Yu, is this the new script you wrote?"
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Yes, this drama is directed by me. I have already found Yan Ming to play the male lead, and I want Zou Feng to play the female lead. In this way, the two of us can be considered a pair..."
"Teacher Yu..."
Originally, Song Yi wanted to find an excuse, but thinking about Yu Xiaoshu's character, he finally smiled bitterly: "Teacher Yu, Zou Feng has no plans to act in web dramas now, you know..."
After listening to what Song Yi said, Yu Xiaoshu stopped talking.
Good job.
After all these years, online dramas are still at such a low point.
Yu Xiaoshu felt that there was no need to say anything more.
I guess it won’t be possible to change this in a short time.
In that case.
Then Yu Xiaoshu said let’s cooperate again in the future.
Song Yi was still a little nervous: "Teacher Yu, I..."
"Alright, this was originally a mutual choice. It's okay if you don't want Zou Feng to act. I respect your choice."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand and said.
He is now no longer as youthful and energetic as before.
Of course, Yu Xiaoshu wants to see whether these people will regret it when the online drama "The Beginning" becomes extremely popular.
Now.
As I said, there is never a shortage of people in the entertainment industry.
Although Ma Ting didn't want to play the role of Li Shiqing and Zou Feng couldn't play it either, there were still a few backups.
But Yu Xiaoshu was no longer going to waste time choosing for himself.
He thought that instead of looking for them one by one, it would be better to let them find him.
