Qin Yue wanted to hire Mu Ling, a screenwriter known for his "versatile style." Qin Yue had read his adapted films and television dramas, and his writing was both humorous and powerful. His adapted scripts retained the essence of the original works while elevating the overall scope to a new level.
Fortunately, when I contacted Mu Ling, he replied directly and arranged a time and place to meet and talk.
Qin Yue went with the original author.
When the company was discussing the copyright of this IP, her first thought was to have Mu Ling as the head screenwriter and the original author as the credited screenwriter, so that they could develop their own creative ideas.
If Mu Ling is willing to take on this project, he will be overjoyed. If he is unwilling, the original author will have to be the head screenwriter, and other reliable screenwriters in the industry will be hired.
Mu Ling himself is an extremely interesting and humorous person.
He has an exceptional way of speaking.
When communicating, one should only make the other person appear very cultured, giving them a comfortable feeling.
The author, Hsiao Tung-liang, had a very pleasant conversation with him.
Qin Xu offered a high price, and after learning that he was the head screenwriter, Mu Ling immediately gave a definite answer, agreeing to take charge of adapting the drama.
Regarding directors, Wang You previously recommended Lin Ziyi, who had won the Flying Eagle Award for Outstanding TV Series.
He is not signed with any company, but has his own film and television production company with a mature team. He writes his own scripts and is personally involved in everything from filming and investment to casting. As long as Director Lin can be secured, the production company does not need to worry about anything else.
When they heard that the director Qin Yue wanted to hire was a rising star, Wang You and the others wanted to object but couldn't bring themselves to do so.
It wasn't until after the meeting, when Wang You went to her office, that she subtly brought up the question: wouldn't it be too risky to entrust such a large investment to an inexperienced production team?
Qin Yue opened her laptop and searched for Lin Ziyi's recent works: "The several hit dramas you mentioned are all his early works. His realistic family dramas are indeed irresistible, but his historical romance dramas..."
It's really easy to criticize it; neither the camera work nor the lighting is good, and the resulting shots always give people a dull and uninteresting feeling.
Wang You understood what she hadn't finished saying, but she genuinely felt the risk was too great. "If President Qin thinks Lin Ziyi isn't suitable, he can collaborate with some other experienced directors. It's true that the director you mentioned has a unique vision and dares to innovate, but... I'm just afraid he can't handle such a big project."
"Perhaps you could take some time to watch this new director's work." Qin Yue clicked on one of his self-produced dramas, a twelve-episode self-produced web series. "It's enough that he dares to innovate and has a unique vision."
Qin Yue trusted this new director so much because she knew he was truly talented.
It can turn the rotten into the miraculous.
Later, he will lead his team to shoot self-produced dramas, with most scenes filmed on location. Many celebrities who have been criticized in the entertainment industry have been transformed in his hands, and their appearance and acting skills are refreshing.
Even new directors who are not highly regarded by everyone can become sought-after collaborators for many artists.
Unfortunately, during his early career, he neglected his health, constantly traveling around seeking investment and drinking heavily, which damaged his liver. After becoming famous, he gained money and connections, but he couldn't regain his health and passed away at a young age.
She naturally couldn't share the information she knew with others; to Wang You, it was probably just blind self-confidence.
Qin Yue did not appear in person during this cooperation negotiation, leaving Ding Shumin to handle everything on her behalf. Ding Shumin will also be one of the company's team members after the project starts next year.
This up-and-coming director, Wang Kaisheng, is still in City C.
Ding Shumin booked a plane ticket and flew to City C the next day to discuss specific cooperation.
Once all the plans had begun to show results, Qin Yue finally had a moment to catch her breath and time to spend with her boyfriend, a man who was about to turn into a resentful husband.
Otherwise, I won't have time to spend with him as the year draws to a close.
She took a few days off, intending to spend some time at his company every day to be with him. Unexpectedly, this CEO Lu also took a day off, saying he would take her out to have fun.
It's been a while since she left Haishi.
She nestled on the sofa in Lu Yanci's house, holding Tangyuan in her arms, and looked up at him, asking, "Where are we going to play?"
Lu Yanci placed the hot tea he had poured in front of her: "How about going skiing in H City?"
Qin Yue's eyes lit up, sparkling with joy, and she asked with great interest, "Sure, when are we going?"
"Tomorrow?" Lu Yanci's heart itched with delight at her adorable appearance. He reached out and ruffled her hair before sitting down beside her. "How about a spontaneous trip?"
Qin Yue nodded emphatically: "I have no objection."
"What should we do with it? Should I let my parents look after it for a few days, or should you take it back to the Lu family?" Qin Yue asked, holding up the round, plump glutinous rice ball in her hand.
"Let it keep Tuanyuan company, and let the two kittens who haven't seen each other for a long time catch up."
"Okay," she said. "Shall I go back and pack my things now?"
"No rush." Lu Yanci hooked her hand and kneaded her fingers as he asked, "I remember you said before that your scrambled eggs with tomatoes were pretty good, and that you'd let me try your cooking sometime. Why not do it now? You forgot about my birthday before, so let's just forget about it."
After they got together, Qin Yue never specifically asked him when his birthday was, and Lu Yanci never mentioned it either.
His was on November 21st, which was just a few days ago.
She happened to be working overtime that day.
At noon, he called her to ask what time she would get off work and suggested they have lunch together. Qin Yue refused outright, saying she would eat at the company and had to work overtime that night. He wanted to stay with her at the company, but she refused again, saying she would be too busy to take care of him and that he shouldn't come to see her.
It was past 10 p.m. when Lu Yanci came to pick her up from get off work. He probably saw that she was too tired and didn't mention his birthday.
When Qin Yue arrived at the company the next day, she saw a post he had made on WeChat Moments at around 11 p.m. the night before.
One of her posts was probably only visible to her on WeChat Moments.
Mr. Lu: Happy birthday to myself.
It also included a picture.
Image of a bear blowing out birthday candles.
Qin Yue quickly ordered a cake for him and had it delivered to his company.
He even called to explain that he was too busy and hadn't remembered it was his birthday.
She still vividly remembers the resentful tone in Lu Yanci's voice at that time.
It's not just that she forgot her own birthday; she probably forgot even her boyfriend. She only remembers that she has a boyfriend when they go to work together in the morning.
Qin Yue immediately assured him that there would never be a next time, and even went to the mall that afternoon to personally pick out a pair of cufflinks for him as a birthday gift.
She thought the matter was over, but she didn't expect him to still remember it.
Qin Yue leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips, coaxing him, "Whatever you say goes. Do you have tomatoes and eggs in the kitchen? We can't just make this one dish. I'll go see what we have."
Lu Yanci's gaze suddenly darkened, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his fingertips gently caressed the back of her neck, his implication quite clear: "It's still early before lunchtime, no rush."
