Only then did Sun Quan realize that he had been silent for a long time, so he immediately reported the names of the directors he had just found to Xue Zihan.
After reporting the names, he asked: "Sister Xue, have you heard of all the directors I just mentioned?"
Xue Zihan: "I've heard of three of them, and the others are a bit familiar, but I can't remember them at the moment. Why don't you tell me what films they have made?"
Sun Quan: "Let's do this! Let's call Brother Shang Zheng and Sister Juan tonight, and we'll have another video conference. At that time, the four of us can propose several director candidates, and then we'll discuss it. Do you think it's okay?"
Xue Zihan: "Okay... okay! Let's talk about it tonight?"
Sun Quan: "Well, inform them later, make an appointment with them, and then tell me."
Xue Zihan: "OK! Let's just say it like this!"
…
In the video conference that night, everyone suggested the names of one, two, or three directors, and after some discussion, three directors were selected who were more suitable for filming "This Dad Is Unusual".
One of them was the director of "Run, Dad" proposed by Sun Quan.
As for the specific work of inviting and contacting the three directors, it was left to Xue Zihan.
A few days later, news came from Xue Zihan that one of the three directors had no schedule this year, and the other two had to read the script first.
Xue Zihan asked Sun Quan if he could temporarily send her the script that had been written, and she would hand it over to the two directors for review.
See if the beginning of the script can arouse the interest of the two directors.
Sun Quan did not immediately say yes or no, but first contacted Dayu and asked Dayu how many scripts had been written so far.
Dayu told him that he has only completed the script content of the first three episodes.
Sun Quan asked him to send him the revised script outline and the script contents of the three episodes. He read it himself and found that there was no problem, so he contacted Xue Zihan and sent her the script outline and the scripts of the first three episodes for her to try.
The attitudes of those two directors.
In this way, a few days later, news came from Xue Zihan again.
The two directors were quite satisfied with the outline of the script and the content of the first three episodes, and were interested in further negotiations.
The director of "Run, Dad" hopes that the complete script will be released as soon as possible.
Another director requested a bilateral meeting to discuss specific conditions for cooperation.
Sun Quan actually likes Gao Yigong, the director of "Run, Dad".
This director was proposed by him before. On the one hand, it is because on the other hand, the drama "Run Dad" can also be said to be a dad TV series.
The difference is that the children in this drama are slightly older, at primary school age.
But the show left a pretty good impression on him back then.
He found some of the lines in the play quite interesting and funny.
To this day, he still remembers a conversation in a taxi between the male protagonist and his soon-to-be-divorced wife in the first or second episode.
Of course he couldn't remember the complete conversation, but he still remembered the general meaning.
He remembered that in the taxi at that time, the male protagonist's first wife had already filed for divorce from the male protagonist, but because of the education issues of their common son, the first wife was not the one who scolded the male protagonist.
It probably means that if your son grows up to be like you, it will be difficult for him to find a wife in the future.
The male protagonist's casual retort was: "Who said it was difficult for me to find a wife? It was easy for me to find you back then!"
With one sentence, his wife, who was about to divorce him, became angry and speechless.
But it made Sun Quan in front of the computer and the taxi driver in the play laugh.
Well, Sun Quan was watching that drama on the computer.
When he watched that show, he had already missed the first broadcast of that show. It must have been a few years after it first aired, so he didn't know what the ratings and reputation of that show were when it first aired.
But he watched that drama from beginning to end, and many of the funny lines in the drama were blurted out by the male protagonist.
So, the funny parts of that show are very funny.
But when it’s touching, it’s also touching.
For example, the daily life between the hero and his son. What impressed Sun Quan deeply was that after the hero was called to school by his son's class teacher to scold him, the hero came out of his son's class teacher's office and repeatedly asked his son when he was teaching him a lesson.
Why don't you do your homework?
(The male protagonist was called by his son’s class teacher because his son did not turn in his homework that day.)
When teaching his son a lesson, the male protagonist's attitude was very stern, and he looked like a strict father who is responsible for his son.
And his son was questioned several times by him and lectured for a while, but he kept silent about the reason why he didn't hand in his homework. He was like a naughty but stubborn child who refused to admit his mistakes.
The son's attitude angered the hero.
The words are getting harsher and more vicious.
But in the end he cried.
Because his son couldn't stand being taught by him, he was forced to finally tell the reason - "Because you haven't given me the homework book. I have told you several times. I have run out of homework books. My homework from yesterday
I just wrote it on the cover of my homework book. I really can’t write anything today..."
That was the poorest period for the father and son. The male protagonist was so poor that he could not afford an exercise book for his son because of his bad luck.
When Sun Quan watched this plot, he was really moved.
I feel sad for the father and son, and also moved by the son's sensibility.
The son clearly knew that the reason why he failed to hand in his homework was his father, but in order to take care of his father's feelings, he endured his father's lessons until he couldn't bear it anymore, and then he aggrievedly told the truth.
In that drama, the hero's son actually had a better choice.
The son's biological mother, the male protagonist's first wife, has always wanted to take the child to live and go to school abroad. As long as the son is willing to go with her, he can live a worry-free life.
But the son couldn't let go of his father. In order to be with his father forever, he was willing to share the joys and sorrows with his impoverished father at a young age.
Sun Quan still remembers one of the plots... The son weakly begged the actor, asking his father not to abandon him, saying that he was well-supported, that he didn't eat much, and he didn't spend money recklessly...
There were not many dramas in that series, but it left a deep impression on Sun Quan.
The whole drama was either funny or touching, and of course there was some outrageousness. In Sun Quan's opinion, the most outrageous part of the drama was the male protagonist's bad luck.
It is simply a debilitating possession. It can be summed up in one sentence: drinking cold water is stuffed between the teeth, and farting is hitting the heels.
But the ending of that drama was very good.
Because of the funny, touching and other highlights of the drama, Sun Quan felt that the bloody parts of the drama were bearable.
This was also the main reason why he thought of the director of that drama when Xue Zihan asked him about the director.
He felt that the director of that drama, Gao Yigong, was capable of producing this type of TV drama, and he had a good combination of comedy and sensational parts.
…
He is very happy that Gao Yigong is interested in "This Dad Is Unusual", but Gao Yigong has not yet made it clear that he is willing to take on the drama. He still wants to read the follow-up script before making a decision. He has not yet negotiated with Xianyu Film and Television to direct it.
The meaning of condition.
This made Sun Quan a little worried again.
Although he has confidence in Dayu's ability as a screenwriter, Dayu is not a professional screenwriter after all, and he also has a formal job and has a book to write at the beginning, which means that Dayu can't write the script fast.
Sun Quan was a little worried that Gao Yigong didn't have the patience to wait for the complete script of this drama.
After all, famous directors generally have no shortage of investment and scripts in the film and television industry.
Sun Quan even thought about taking over the scriptwriting job and writing the script himself.
But after thinking about it, I gave up the idea.
First of all, he has given this job to Dayu. Dayu has spent time and thought on writing the outline of the script, and he is currently writing the script. What will happen if someone like him takes back the script job at this time?
thing?
What would Dayu think?
Secondly...he really doesn't have much time to write scripts himself.
If he writes this script by himself, his thoughts will inevitably be distracted, and the serialization of the original work "This Dad Is Unusual" at Qidian will inevitably be affected, and the quality of the original work may also decline.
Otherwise, he would not have asked Dayu to adapt this script in the first place.
He had no choice but to tell Dayu his concerns. He hoped that Dayu could take more time to work on this script recently, even if he couldn't complete the entire script in a short time, even if he just wrote more than ten or twenty episodes.
?
Maybe Gao Yigong was moved after reading the scripts of more than ten or twenty episodes?
After all, the three-episode script sent to the senior high school workers... was really too short.
Dayu is a good comrade.
After listening to Sun Quan's worries and thoughts, he gave Sun Quan face and promised to squeeze out as much time as possible in the near future to speed up the writing of the script, and would give Sun Quan twenty episodes of the script as soon as possible.
Sun Quan felt relieved a little, and then discussed with Xue Zihan again, asking her to find ways to maintain the relationship with Gao Yigong in the near future, try to make Gao Yigong feel the sincerity of their Xianyu Film and Television, and let him have the patience to wait as long as possible.
.
As for the other director, Sun Quan did not stop Xue Zihan from negotiating the conditions for directing.
If Gao Yigong is unwilling to direct this drama in the end, another director would be a good choice.
That director was recommended by Wang Zheng.
In the film and television industry, he has achieved good results and has a lot of experience.
…
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
While Sun Quan was worrying about the director of "This Dad Is Unusual", good news finally came from the headhunting company that his wife Yuan Shuiqing had been looking for.
There is progress with the headhunting company.
Thanks to the efforts of the headhunting company, the master's degree in finance from Peking University finally became interested in switching jobs to work as a 99 meal delivery company.
A few days later, Lu Dong, the vice president of Ele.me, was also impressed by the headhunting company and was willing to contact 99 Braised Chicken to discuss specific conditions for changing jobs.
For this reason, Sun Quan specially took two days to accompany his wife Yuan Shuiqing to meet the two talents.
The middleman is of course from a headhunting company.
After some interviews, the candidate was finalized.
——Lu Dong!
Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing jointly decided to hire the vice president of Ele.me to be the CEO of 99 Food Delivery Company.
The tentative annual salary is 500,000 yuan.
and 3% of the shares.
An annual salary of 500,000 yuan could not impress Lu Dong. It was not as high as Lu Dong's original annual salary, but 3% of the shares successfully impressed him.
3% of the shares, although not much.
But it means that he came to be the CEO of 99 Food Delivery Company. He is no longer just a wage earner, he is a shareholder.
After officially signing the contract, Lu Dong quickly resigned from Ele.me, and then came to City M. With the 50 million invested by Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing in the early stage, he officially established the 99 food delivery company.
The company's headquarters is in 99 Building.
Together with the headquarters of 99 Braised Chicken.
Anyway, the 99 Building is tall and big enough, and the 99 Braised Chicken doesn’t need such a large area.
…
99 Food Delivery was officially established.
Part of Dayu's twenty-episode script has finally been written.
It was past eleven o'clock in the night, and Sun Quan had almost finished coding the last chapter of the day. He was about to go home to wash up and go to bed after finishing coding, when he suddenly received a call from Dayu.
The moment the call was connected, Sun Quan first heard Dayu yawning.
Then I heard Dayu say: "Oh, I was exhausted to earn your five hundred thousand. I just got the twenty-episode script you asked for. Are you not online on QQ? I'll give it to you." You have been sending QQ messages for more than ten minutes, but you haven’t replied to me. I have already sent you the script. You can go online and receive it yourself! Ah... I’m going to bed. I have to go to work tomorrow! You have received the script, Let’s read it over first! If you think there’s anything wrong, just leave me a message on QQ. I’ll read it after get off work tomorrow. After that, I’ll find time to revise it for you. Well, that’s it. Do you still have any questions? ?If there is no problem, I'm dead! I haven't slept enough lately, and I often have dark circles under my eyes. My wife calls me a giant panda... Haha."
When he heard him speak, Sun Quan was still thinking of making a joke.
But after listening to this, Sun Quan gave up the idea of joking and waited until Dayu finished speaking before smiling and saying: "Okay, good brother! You've worked hard, go to sleep! If the problem is not big, I will do it myself.
Edit, just go get a good night's sleep tonight and we'll talk later."
Dayu: "Okay! That's it. Bye! Kneel down! Haha."
It was rare that this time when Sun Quan heard him say "Kneel down", he didn't quarrel with him. He laughed twice and hung up the phone.
Log into QQ and receive the script sent to him by Dayu.
Sun Quan was not in a hurry to go home and sleep. Anyway, he didn't have to go to work during the day and his time was free.
If Dayu didn't send him the script tonight, forget it, he could go home and wash his hands and sleep peacefully, but since Dayu has already sent him the script.
If he doesn't read it tonight, he won't be able to sleep even if he goes home.
You always have the script in your mind, how can you feel sleepy?
I understand this bad habit of my own.
…
Time passed quietly, and it was already early in the morning. All the lights in Xianyu Studio had been extinguished long ago, except for Sun Quan's office on the second floor, where there was still light.
In front of the computer, Mr. Sun was still sitting there staring at the computer, reading the script that Dayu sent him bit by bit.
Like a midnight ghost.
The expression on his face changes from time to time as the content of the script changes.
