Chapter 57: I'm not optimistic, I'm telling you (seeking recommendation votes)
Yu Xiaoshu came out of Guo Han's studio with mixed feelings.
Too paranoid.
Successful people are all paranoid, but if their paranoia is irrational, then that’s another matter.
But Guo Han has the confidence.
He has proven himself both in online writing and as a director.
The debut film "Love Comes Back" made a big profit with a small investment, and it earned 30 million at the box office with a cost of 5 million.
Needless to say, the box office of the later films "Pure Love" and "Love 2017" were also better than the previous ones.
This time, Guo Han, the filmmaker behind "Transnational Heterosexual Relationship", wants to press on with his victory.
But what can I say?
Times have changed.
"Pure Love" was released in 2014 at a time when traffic was booming, so Guo Han stood at the forefront and the box office of this movie exceeded 100 million yuan.
In 2017, Yuan Xing's box office experienced a blowout, while his traffic remained strong, and then the box office of "Love 2017" exceeded 200 million.
So what is the situation now?
Some viewers have become disgusted with traffic, and at the same time, they have higher requirements for movies. It is not that you can easily make over 100 million yuan at the box office by just finding some traffic and making a pretentious story.
Although Yu Xiaoshu did not see the finished film, he had read the synopsis online before. He was a little worried about the plot, but after watching the trailer edited by Guo Han, Yu Xiaoshu had a general idea of it.
Guo Han has abandoned all the successes of his first three films, such as the simplicity and directness of the plot, the purity of the love, and the beauty of the shots. All of these are gone.
Instead, the plot has become slow and dragging, the love story has become melodramatic, and the scene transitions are serious.
Yu Xiaoshu mentioned these tactfully, and Guo Han said: "You don't understand movies. I used the accumulation of the first three movies to understand how commercial films are. I didn't understand it before, but now I understand that movies should be complicated and the plot should be tortuous..."
"This unfortunate child must have been tricked by someone."
Yu Xiaoshu doesn’t understand movies, but he can appreciate them.
Whenever a director says, "My movie is not made for ordinary people, it's complicated," then go and see it, and the movie will definitely flop.
What a nonsense about elegance and vulgarity.
Movies are made for audiences.
Your constant showing off will only disgust the audience.
Guo Han refused to listen to the advice.
In this regard, Sun Hei is like a younger brother to Guo Han.
After all, Yu Xiaoshu could still trick Sun Hei into editing the film, but for Guo Han, it was of no use at all.
"I have the final say on my movies."
Guo Han said confidently: "The reason why I was able to succeed all the way is because of one thing."
Yu Xiaoshu never expected Guo Han to say in a very childish way: "My fate is determined by myself, not by God."
The most important thing is that Guo Han shouted it out in the office.
Oh my god.
Yu Xiaoshu was so embarrassed that he could dig out a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment with his feet.
Not optimistic.
Yu Xiaoshu is not optimistic about this movie.
If "Transnational Heterosexual Love" really becomes a big hit, then Yu Xiaoshu will call Guo Han "Son of the Planes".
After hailing a taxi, Yu Xiaoshu arrived at Yipintang Teahouse.
"teacher."
Yu Xiaoshu came into the private room. He looked at Zou Jun and smiled, "Why are you here?"
Zou Jun motioned Yu Xiaoshu to sit down, then asked, "Are you planning to leave Tiger Star Films?"
"Yeah, yes."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently, and then he did not hide anything from Zou Jun. After briefly explaining the matter of Tiger Star Films, he said, "What? Did Wu Hai call you?"
"Yes, he told me to persuade you."
Zou Jun said angrily: "But Wu Hai said that your script was written by Luo Yuan, and Sun Hei was always supporting you during the filming, and also..."
Shameless.
After Zou Jun finished speaking, he was indeed quite angry.
He certainly believed in his students.
So Zou Jun said to Yu Xiaoshu: "I didn't expect Tiger Star Films to be so chaotic. Since it's the right thing to leave, then, have you decided where to go?"
"I haven't thought about it yet, but teacher, don't worry, things are different now."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "Before, others chose me, now I choose others."
“That’s true.”
Zou Jun smiled with a hint of relief: "Xiao Shu, you didn't let me down. I knew you would be able to rise again. Okay, in that case, I won't care. With this "I Am Yu Huanshui", you can prove yourself again."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "It's all thanks to the teacher. Without the teacher, we would..."
"Okay, I'm not confused. I'm afraid you've already figured out what to do. You just didn't want to disappoint me so you went to Tiger Star Films."
Zou Jun interrupted Yu Xiaoshu and said, "It is difficult to grow up without experiencing poverty, and it is difficult to grow up without experiencing setbacks. Xiaoshu, you have indeed matured. From now on, there is not much that the teacher can help you with. But if there is anything, don't handle it alone, the teacher is here to help you."
"Thank you, teacher. I... understand."
Yu Xiaoshu's eyes were red and his voice was choked with sobs.
"Tell the teacher what to thank you for."
Zou Jun waved his hand and said, "So, what are you going to do with Tiger Star Films?"
"I was planning to have a showdown these two days, but I didn't expect Wu Hai to call you, teacher, and be so shameless."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said, "Then let's cut the Gordian knot. I'll go to the company to talk to them later."
"Okay, but it's better if we can part ways amicably."
Zou Jun advised Yu Xiaoshu.
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Harmony is the most valuable thing. I understand."
One hour later, Yu Xiaoshu arrived at Tiger Star Film and Television.
"Little tree."
What Yu Xiaoshu didn't expect was that as soon as he arrived at Huxing Film and Television, he was pulled aside by Zhang Cheng.
"Xiao Shu, there are rumors about you all over the company right now. I also heard that Mr. Wu and Director Lu are very dissatisfied with you. You have to be careful."
Zhang Cheng whispered to Yu Xiaoshu, "Compared to the previous rumors, this time many people said that you were asking for too much and wanted to sign a platinum contract. You don't know how to repay a favor..."
hehe.
Yu Xiaoshu was not surprised.
Before that, Sun Hei should have spread a wave of rumors. At that time, only the great screenwriter Xiao Xue supported Yu Xiaoshu in the screenwriting of Part 2, while Luo Yuan advised Yu Xiaoshu to be more magnanimous.
And now, this so-called rumor should have been spread by Wu Hai and Lu Dongyang.
What is this... brain-dead.
Use this to suppress yourself?
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Zhang Cheng's kind expression and gently patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I know."
Compared with other students, Zhang Cheng is pretty good.
"Xiao Shu, you..."
Looking at Yu Xiaoshu's back, Zhang Cheng actually had something to say yet.
That means you have finally become popular again, so don't be stubborn.
Screenwriter of 2 films.
No one discussed Yu Xiaoshu's matter too loudly.
After all, they were all afraid of being criticized by Xiao Xue.
But when they saw Yu Xiaoshu coming in, their expressions were very different. Among them, Wu Tong's face looked as if he had received revenge.
hehe,
Let you be arrogant.
It's all over now.
Still want to sign platinum?
Why don't you go to heaven?
Except for Wu Tong, everyone else had similar ideas.
They are all holding hands and falling like dogs, why do you want to go to heaven?
Yu Xiaoshu took in everyone's expressions, and this scene made him more determined to leave Tiger Star Film and Television.
Luo Yuan's office.
Yu Xiaoshu knocked on the door and came in. He said politely to Luo Yuan, "Mr. Luo, I'm leaving now."
"good."
Luo Yuan nodded lightly without any surprise: "Good luck to you."
Yu Xiaoshu was surprised for a moment, and looking at Yu Xiaoshu's expression, Luo Yuan shook his head and laughed: "What? Do you think I still want to keep you? Although I don't know what happened between you and Sun Hei and the others, it is obviously irreconcilable, and you rejected Lu Dongyang's contract, so you must leave. Let's part ways in peace, Xiaoshu, I still have high hopes for you, and I hope you don't waste your talent and...opportunities."
"Okay, Mr. Luo, I understand."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "Then I'll leave."
After Yu Xiaoshu left, Luo Yuan sighed: "Oh, what a pity."
After returning to the office, Yu Xiaoshu said to Xiao Xue first: "Xue'er, I'm leaving now. I hope you can reach the platinum level soon."
Then, Yu Xiaoshu looked at Wu Tongdao and said, "Before you leave, Dad will tell you one more thing. Pay more attention to your wife in the future. What she told you about getting her hair done may not be true. Maybe... hehe."
"Yu Xiaoshu, your uncle."
Wu Tong growled with gritted teeth.
However, Yu Xiaoshu has left the screenwriting for 2 films.
Before leaving, he still wanted to say something to Wu Hai.
It's the right thing to do both emotionally and logically.
"You want to leave?"
Wu Hai looked at Yu Xiaoshu in shock: "Didn't the teacher tell you?"
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "The teacher said that he respects my choice, so I'm going to leave now."
"Xiao Shu, how do you think the seniors treated you at Tiger Star Films?"
Wu Hai said to Yu Xiaoshu, "I will do my best to support the script you wrote. You said you wanted to use Lin Feiyang, and I also agreed to that. Even when Sun Hei was dissatisfied with you, I mediated and did not blindly favor Sun Hei. What? You want to leave now that you are famous?"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "Senior, you are indeed very kind to me, but my leaving is a personal decision and has nothing to do with you."
"With Sun Hei? Or because of Lu Dongyang?"
Wu Hai didn't want to let Yu Xiaoshu go: "If it's because of these two people, then I can mediate. You don't have to work with Sun Hei anymore in the future. I can help you get Lu Dongyang's contract with a big shot."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Wu Hai, "Will Lu Dongyang agree to the contract terms I mentioned yesterday?"
"impossible."
Wu Hai shook his head and said, "Xiao Shu, don't push your luck. Not to mention Tiger Star Films, other big companies won't agree to your request either."
"So, Mr. Wu."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "Let's just part ways amicably."
"good."
At this time, Wu Hai suppressed his anger and said to Yu Xiaoshu: "If I knew you were like this, I would definitely not give you a chance. It seems that Lu Dongyang is right. You are a villain who repays kindness with enmity."
"hehe."
Yu Xiaoshu laughed and said, "Boss Wu, there's no point in talking about this. I said the same thing to Lu Dongyang yesterday. The benefits I brought to Tiger Star Films are not small, and the opportunity you gave me was for the sake of my teacher, and it's only for three months."
Yu Xiaoshu paused and said, "And now the March period has come. Goodbye."
After saying this, Yu Xiaoshu turned and left.
If they could part ways amicably, Yu Xiaoshu might still remember Wu Hai a little, but Wu Hai actually had this thought in mind, so I feel sorry for that.
At the beginning, you never took a fancy to a loser like me.
So, why are you trying to repay a favor now?
I, Yu Xiaoshu, don’t buy it.
Bang!
There were sounds of breaking in the office after Yu Xiaoshu left.
