Chapter 305 Guan Yumei's Variety Show Creativity
Su Zi's eyes turned gentle, and he suddenly sat up straight, "Is she in the company now? Call her over to have a chat."
"Yes, she's in the editing department, I'll call her now." Ni Ruoan quickly dialed the phone and said a few words. Not long after, Guan Yumei appeared in the office.
She was the only female director who applied for the position. She is 40 years old this year and has worked in many crews, doing duties such as stagehand, props, and makeup.
I have also worked as an assistant director and helped some schools or cultural departments to shoot promotional micro-films.
Among the directors who came to apply for the job, Su Zi only kept her and another male director.
After seeing the styles of the works that the two had shot before, Su Zi gave his own creative ideas to her.
Another male director was more fond of variety shows with horror elements, so Su Zi gave the creative idea of the second season of the horror variety show to this male director.
"Boss Su, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Go ahead. I just wanted to talk to you. I heard from An An that you were following the script for the third season of a parent-child variety show. The script is not ready yet. Have you thought of other variety show ideas during this period?"
Guan Yumei hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "No, I'll do whatever you arrange."
But the way she acted was obviously trying to cover up her own faults, and it didn't look like she had no idea at all.
It seems like a very thoughtful idea.
Female directors are rare in the entertainment industry, especially in variety shows. Su Zi felt that this was a good opportunity for female directors to take the stage again. She asked with curiosity, "You don't dare to tell me your idea because you're afraid that I'll reject it, or because you're afraid that I'll use my experience as a successful person to belittle you?"
"Sister Yumei, when you came for the interview, I saw a lot of your works. They are very creative and full of ideas."
"If you have any ideas or creativity, you can tell us about them and we can help you consult. If it's suitable, I can immediately prepare a funding team for you."
"You have to know that there are few female directors in the field of variety shows. Don't you want to try the food on the table?" Su Zi's tone was persuasive.
Although Guan Yumei is older than her, she is completely unconfident, perhaps because she has suffered too many setbacks and denials.
Seeing Su Zi's persistence, Guan Yumei sighed and said, "I do have an idea, but I have approached many investors with this idea before. They belittled my entrepreneurship and thought that the content I want to shoot is meaningless."
It was because this idea suffered so many setbacks that she kept doubting whether becoming a director was the right path for her.
Is the creative content really that bad? So many people didn't like it.
What those people look down on is the creativity itself or her as a person?
Whenever she had some free time, these questions would keep recurring in her mind.
After becoming impoverished in order to produce the work she had in mind, she finally succumbed to life, no longer chasing after her dreams, no longer obsessed with showing her creativity, and just wanted to be a conventional director quietly.
Therefore, she spoke of her creativity in a very calm tone.
"My idea is to make a variety show about celebrities surviving in the wilderness, inviting a certain number of celebrities to spend a month or half a month on a deserted island with limited tools."
"During this period, the program team will set certain tasks, and they can obtain supplies by completing the tasks."
"More importantly, I want to achieve a 24-hour live broadcast effect to prove to the audience that these people are really surviving in the wilderness."
After hearing her ideas, Su Zi's eyes seemed to be filled with stars.
She slapped the table and said proudly, "I, Wang Duoyu, have invested in this project!"
Ni Ruoan: ????
Su Yuehe: ????
Guan Yumei: ????
Su Yuehe looked disgusted and said, "When did you change your name? It's really ugly."
Suzi: ………
I forgot, this is not Xia Country anymore. It’s so embarrassing that no one understands my jokes.
She coughed unnaturally. "It's just a character imagined in the new script. This is not important. What's important is Sister Yumei, I think your idea is very good and worth a try."
"How about this, you quickly come up with a complete idea and script, we'll review it, make some changes to any unreasonable parts, and then immediately put the team together to start filming."
Guan Yumei was stunned, somewhat unbelieving what she heard.
"Boss Su, do you want to invest in filming my variety show idea?"
Su Zi gave her a strange look, "Isn't it obvious enough? Why should such a good idea be left to be tarnished?"
"If others don't think highly of it, it's because they have a flawed vision, or they have other plans. But there is absolutely no problem with your idea. It can even be said to be the only one in the industry."
"You don't have to worry about not having artists to participate after the filming starts. I'll lend you the name of Suzi Entertainment, and I won't interfere with anything else. You can decide from the beginning to the end of the filming, and you can decide how it turns out."
“But I hope to see amazing results from this creative process.”
"There are no well-known artists, and there are those who have passed their prime, or those who became popular but then fell silent for various reasons. They are all looking for opportunities to become popular again. Don't underestimate their ambitions. In order to achieve their goals, they can endure any hardship."
"There is only one thing, safety issues during filming must be taken seriously."
Because we are shooting in the wild, poisonous snakes, insects, rats, ants, and ferocious beasts must be driven away in advance.
"Boss Su, do you really think my idea is good?"
Su Zi's recognition and praise of this idea was like a stream of spring water injected into Guan Yumei's heart. Her already devastated heart began to exude vitality again because of this stream of spring water.
She asked again in disbelief.
Looking into Guan Yumei's eyes, Su Zi's smiling eyes seemed to be filled with stars, and she nodded heavily.
He said aloud: "This idea is simply great!"
“I didn’t follow the crowd, I dared to think and innovate, and I have surpassed 80% of the people in the industry.”
“I don’t know how many times your idea has been rejected, but I know it’s not a problem with the idea itself.”
"You know, no matter what field it is, there are too many people who don't want us to stand out. They want us to be obedient and stay at home to take care of our husbands and children and have children."
“But this doesn’t mean your gender is wrong or your creativity is wrong. What’s wrong is the prejudiced gazes and the malicious and oppressive words.”
After hearing these words, Guan Yumei finally understood why so many people in the company were so convinced of Su Zi.
She took a deep breath, suppressed the sourness and tears in her nose, stood up, and said to Su Zi in a very serious manner: "Mr. Su, thank you, I will definitely not let you down. I have been revising this idea for many years, and I have also added various details. I have also made improvements step by step where it needs to be considered and perfected. It has been stored in my computer. I will go and copy the information now."
After saying that, without waiting for Su Zi to say anything, she hurriedly got up and left Su Zi's office. In the corridor outside, she used her sleeve to wipe away the tears that were gushing out.
Those eyes that had been belittled and suppressed by countless people once again lit up with their own starlight.
In the office behind her, Su Yuehe and Ni Ruoan both gave Su Zi a thumbs up.
Soon, Guan Yumei copied the information over.
The three of them knew that Guan Yumei was in a hurry, so they put aside the work at hand and dealt with this matter first.
They went to the conference room and projected the information onto the big screen. Guan Yumei stood in front of the big screen and told the three people about the creative task she had set, the anticipated situations, the approximate script for dealing with emergencies, team survival confrontation, etc.
The three of them were not stingy with their praise and applauded Guan Yumei for her brilliant ideas one after another.
In front of the projection screen, Guan Yumei was shining brightly.
