"Hey, Lao Dai? What's going on? Is the movie edited?"
"No, why did you ask me to do it? I can't help you -"
"Dinner? You treat me? Oh, that's so rare. Just the two of us? Is there anyone else?"
"Teacher Song Xi, right? How do I know? This circle is so small. Unless you two don't go on a date, otherwise, you have an airtight wall? Go, of course you go. If there are stupid rich people who don't go to dinner, then
Aren't you as stupid as you?"
Over there, Dai Chengbi had three masks of pain on his face, "This little girl, with shrimps and pig hearts, is trying to steal bamboo shoots!"
After making an appointment, Xia Yu simply put down the phone and picked up the coffee on the table, only to find that the cup was empty.
I was going to "refill" a drink, but as soon as I stood up, I "collapsed". A small piece of information was scattered on the small cabinet next to me. The little guy who had been napping on the bedside suddenly woke up and looked around blankly.
Seeing Xia Yu's dazed little eyes, he calmed down, yawned, and curled up into a ball again, about to fall asleep all day long - "I'm still at a disadvantage, so I need to sleep more to replenish myself!"
Xia Yu looked at the pile of scattered information, and then at the scattered notebooks and A4 papers on the table. He didn't tidy them up immediately. He walked out of the bedroom and went to the living room to find that the water tank of the coffee machine was out of water. He took a few bottles from the kitchen.
Pour in the mineral water.
Taking advantage of the heating, Xia Yu yawned and looked at the time, 18:11 pm.
It has been more than half a month since Xia Yu returned to the imperial capital.
I went out the next day.
In the morning, I went to Tao's house to have lunch with Mr. Tao, and in the afternoon I had dinner with Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang at the manor.
As for not being able to receive the script for "The Wind", Mr. Zhuang only expressed regret after knowing the whole story.
Two regrets: one is that he failed to win the script, and the other is that Xia Yu was not filmed!
The old man and Xia Yu basically have the same idea.
"In this road of life, there are winners and losers. You can't expect every good script to be waiting for you. When people choose roles, your previous performances have not convinced them, and they have not chosen you in the first place. This is your problem.
——If it doesn’t work this time, then next time, there will be opportunities, but you have to keep working hard and let others pay attention to you and recognize you before you encounter the next good script!"
Before that, Mr. Zhuang would definitely have implemented "percussive education."
Of course, the old man's words still have the connotation of the "percussive education" of the older generation of Chinese parents.
But in comparison, it is much softer and has a touch of "encouragement!"
This was extremely difficult for the old man. After the old man finished speaking, he was still extremely calm and could not see anything. He kept holding his two walnuts, but both Xia Yu and Mrs. Zhuang noticed that his face was slightly red.
ear.
The old man was so proud that neither Xia Yu nor Mrs. Zhuang exposed him. They both drank tea in silence and changed the topic.
"Have you got any ideas for a new play?" The old man remembered that Xia Yu mentioned several plans during the live broadcast.
Xia Yu shook his head, "Lao Dai has been working on the later stage of "The Cure" recently. The other two scripts are also immature - they won't be finalized in three to five months. If one is ready, it won't be available until January or February next year at least.
The filming and post-production may not be completed by the end of next year!”
"Are you planning to set your sights on other crews now?"
Xia Yu nodded.
There's nothing we can do about it.
She also suddenly understood why others agreed with her on why she felt that she had more luck after winning the Academy Award for "Drawing Ground" - "A good script is really hard to come by, especially if you are aiming to win an award."
script!"
It is generally in the hands of major directors and screenwriters, and these directors and screenwriters are affiliated with major agencies or studios.
"Okay, the teacher will pay attention to it for you, but I can't get involved with the scripts from Great Wall Film and Television!" The main thing is that he is used to being a hands-off shopkeeper. If he wants to take it, he may have some tasks.
, he doesn’t have that time.
Finally, let’s talk about the apprenticeship ceremony.
Xia Yu also talked to Comrade Lao Xia and his wife. After several conversations, they decided to wait until summer came before going there.
After all, Mr. Zhuang and his wife are not young at all. They just made a trip from Berlin, so they still need to take a rest.
The province has a very cold spring, and if you get sick even if you come to Huliang then, it won't be worth it.
After coming out of the manor, Xia Yu didn't go back immediately. It was only after nine o'clock.
I simply went to the studio and brought a bunch of scripts home, which saved me from having to run there early in the morning tomorrow.
These are all newly sent to Xia Yu’s studio this month.
Tao Tang didn't have time to look through it yet.
In fact, after filming "Cure", Xia Yu considered taking a break.
It’s not really about taking a break, it’s just about taking a break as an actor.
Go and learn about [Screenwriter], [Director], and [Producer]. On the one hand, it will recharge your barren spiritual world. On the other hand, it will help the studio prepare for two upcoming movies.
As a result, Cheng Zhiqing's invitation and Mr. Zhuang's news about the [First China International Film Festival] disrupted the rhythm - she was really fascinated by the film "The Wind", and the fourth system achievement was won by the "European Three"
The Grand International Film Festival was upgraded to the Five International Film Festival Awards, which caught her off guard. She had no choice but to give up her plan to rest.
Xia Yu worked hard and planned to win the drama "The Wind", but failed and had no choice but to temporarily shut down the project.
As for the studio's two scripts, some content has been revealed before.
The script of "Disabled People" originally had a slightly stronger flavor of a commercial film.
Some plots in the script are also a bit bloody, and the logic seems rigorous, but in fact, there are many things that cannot be justified;
After several of them made the decision, it was inevitable to go back to the drawing board and remake it. The screenwriter signed up with [Xia Yu Studio] and the copyright fee to buy out was not low, so even if everyone was satisfied with the changes, the screenwriter would not pay the price given.
Will lose money.
If it doesn't work in the end, we can only hire foreign aid. Teacher Zhao Jinhong is not easy to hire, but it is not difficult to hire other young gold medal screenwriters——
As for the script of "Devil's Letter", Xia Yu only had a rough outline of the plot.
Anyway, "The Wind" was not won. Xia Yu originally planned to follow the previous arrangement and take a break, not to mention a few months, but half a month, right?
But I didn't expect that the next day after I got back the pile of script copies, the sinful "007" started.
After fifteen days of reading and annotating the scripts during the day, I finally finished reading this large number of scripts on March 4th;
And in this script, there are not only domestic ones, but also those from abroad in the past half month, and not only movies, but also TV series. Since they were all sent, Xia Yu simply read them all. I have to say, this workload is really quite overwhelming.
