Chapter 112: Face Death and Cherish Life
In the final easter egg of the short film, two thank-you letters written by the families of the deceased to Zhou Wanzhou were shown.
Su Zi finally responded in the comment section: Separation from life and death is something that everyone has to experience. The profession of undertaker is very sacred. They are like the gatekeepers of death, allowing every deceased person to cross that door in the best possible appearance and enter another dimension of the world.
Saying that people who work in this profession are unlucky only means that these people have been marinated in ignorance. We should learn to face death and cherish life.
Su Yuehe and Ni Ruoan used their secondary accounts to go to the comment section to redirect the comments.
[Some people really are like mothers when they pick up the bowl, and curse mothers when they put down the bowl. You curse mothers now, but you have another face when you hire people. ]
[Who can guarantee that they will never have to deal with an undertaker? This is a job that is in demand.]
[Why should undertakers bear unreasonable prejudice and accusations? ]
Whether it is Xia Kingdom or Long Kingdom, it is a country that cannot face death, and everything related to death will be given a distorted vocabulary.
This is why Zhou Wanzhou's family was so strongly opposed after learning about her profession.
This short film sparked discussions among netizens about the issue of death in a short period of time. Some people felt that they could face the issue of life and death calmly, while others kept silent and avoided talking about it.
But the profession of undertaker came into the public eye for the first time.
Su Zi and Xia Guo's screenwriter team wrote a movie script that specifically tells the story of an undertaker.
The script observes various types of deaths from the perspective of a novice undertaker, documenting the love of relatives surrounding the deceased.
She wanted to use this film to show the hardships and nobility of undertakers.
Su Zi asked Qian Weike to introduce her to Wu Liguo, a director who made art films.
He is 50 years old this year. Many of the art films he shot have won awards. He is now in a semi-retired state and will not appear in public without a good script.
After sending the script, Su Zi waited quietly for news.
Unexpectedly, Wu Liguo contacted her that same day.
"Xiao Su, let's meet sometime. I have a lot of questions I want to discuss with you about this script."
Su Zi immediately became excited, there is hope!
"Are you available recently?"
"I'm at home all day, any time is convenient for you, depending on your schedule."
"Then I'll come to see you tomorrow."
"That's fine. Let's settle it as soon as possible. I'll send you the meeting place later."
What Wu Liguo sent over was the location of a private restaurant, which was very private.
Su Zi told Su Yuehe and Ni Ruoan the news.
"Okay, go ahead and don't worry. Leave the company and this place to An An and me. An An and I can cook simple meals now. It just so happens that the squad leader and his friends said they want to come over to play these two days, so An An and I will be the ones to host them."
"Sister Rongrong has been advising me to think it over carefully. This subject matter may not be popular and all the investment may be wasted. How come you two are so calm?" Su Zi leaned his head on Ni Ruoan's shoulder.
Ni Ruoan looked at her sideways, "We are people with feelings, not just tools for making money. What you are doing is also very meaningful. We have no reason to stop you."
"Longguo has always avoided talking about death education. If this movie is made, it can help people understand death, face death, establish a perspective on life and death, and cherish life. Even if it doesn't make money, it will be meaningful."
Life is short and precious. Facing death can help us cherish the present, understand life, and alleviate the pain before death.
"People say it's hard to find one true friend in life, but I'm lucky. I have three."
"Eh~ This is so corny. If you have to go out tomorrow, go to bed early. An An and I will edit the rest of the film."
Su Yuehe shook her shoulders to express her discomfort at being so corny.
In fact, the smile in his eyes is as brilliant as the stars above his head.
…
"Xiao Su, I like your script very much. I came to you today to ask if you want to sell it or invest in it?"
"If you sell the script to me, I will buy out all the copyrights for 10 million yuan, and you will only be credited as the screenwriter. But if you invest in the script, you will get 20% of the box office revenue."
"But you have to think carefully. After the film is released, the income you get may not even be 10 million."
"You know, art films generally don't have much of a market. I shoot this kind of thing just to win awards."
Wu Liguo is not short of money. He invested in and shot many of the art films himself. His family is wealthy, and the corporate dividends he receives every year are beyond the reach of many small and medium-sized companies.
Su Zi was still able to tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal. "Director Wu, I've made up my mind to use the script as an investment in technology stocks. If it was really for the money, I wouldn't have brought out this script. I just want to help my friend. If I say I have no ambition, you won't believe me. I also hope that this film can win some popularity and allow me to win an award for best screenwriter."
"Okay, I, Old Wu, admire the recklessness of you young people. After dinner, we'll sign the contract tomorrow. I've had enough rest, so I'll get up and move around."
"Thank you Director Wu!"
The two of them ate and talked about the script. At the end of the meal, Su Zi suddenly asked, "Director Wu, are you interested in comedy films?"
"To be honest, I want to try all kinds of styles, but I haven't come across the right script. People think I like to make art films, but that's because the scripts I find happen to be art films."
"If you have a good comedy script, just bring it to me. Don't worry about investment or anything. There are a lot of people who are eager to invest in me."
After hearing this, Su Zi turned into a lemon spirit under the lemon tree.
His eyes became sad.
Wu Liguo didn't realize at all that he had inadvertently acted in a Versailles way.
Su Zi suppressed his malice towards this world and said, "Qi Rong, do you know?"
Wu Liguo occasionally surfed the Internet. "You want her to be the heroine of this movie?"
Hearing Wu Liguo's description of Qi Rong, Su Zi's mouth twitched, "That's exactly what I meant. When I was writing the script, all I thought of was Qi Rong. This heroine was created based on her, so it couldn't be better for her to play the role."
"I won't hide it from you. I own an agency and she is an artist in my agency. Because of her past experiences, the scripts that were offered to her would only consume her fame and would not bring her any changes."
Wu Liguo took a sip of the tea in his thermos cup and said leisurely, "There is no such thing as a royal family or a pre-selected role for me. If you want this role, you can audition first. I passed, and no one's objection can help."
"Of course. I just want to give her a chance to get in front of you. Whether it succeeds or not depends on her."
"I also have some ideas about the theme song for this movie. I brought the demo with me today. My company happens to have a suitable singer who can sing it."
