The meeting place arranged by actor Liang Zhengrong was in a restaurant in Jiangcheng whose name Bai Xiaoyu couldn't pronounce.
Judging from the name of the restaurant, Bai Xiaoyu thinks it is French food.
But these are not things that Bai Xiaoyu is concerned about. She was thinking about what her mother meant when she said, 'all misunderstandings will be resolved'.
This doubt continued until she was led to the location of the negotiation meeting by her mother Bai Ya.
When Bai Xiaoyu walked in, she found that there were many people sitting in the restaurant, and it seemed that the entire restaurant was occupied.
Among these people, two Bai Xiaoyu looked like foreigners, but one Liang Zhengrong looked familiar to Bai Xiaoyu.
"Ms. Bai Ya, nice to meet you!"
When Liang Zhengrong saw Bai Ya coming, he quickly stood up and greeted her and her daughter.
"This is my wife Morrison, and this child is my eldest daughter. Her Chinese name is Liang Xuexian." Liang Zhengrong first introduced the two family members around him to Bai Ya.
"Hello Mrs. Morrison, Xiaoyu, please say hello quickly."
Bai Ya said and patted Bai Xiaoyu's shoulder. Bai Xiaoyu looked at the two blue-eyed foreigners sitting next to Liang Zhengrong. After holding it in for a long time, he said "HELLO" in a somewhat uncomfortable tone.
This very standard pronunciation of HELLO actually made the girl sitting next to her named Liang Xuexian laugh.
"I can speak Chinese and even Cantonese. What a cute little sister. How old are you this year?"
The girl named Liang Xuexian blinked her blue eyes and looked up and down at Bai Xiaoyu.
Today, Bai Xiaoyu was caught and dressed up by her mother. The naturally beautiful little girl became even more beautiful after being dressed like this.
Especially the black ribbon tied by Bai Ya around Bai Xiaoyu's white neck. As soon as Bai Xiaoyu entered the door, many people's eyes fell on this beautiful girl who looked like a cat.
"Seventeen."
Bai Xiaoyu also tried her best to put on a kind smile on her face.
Bai Ya rarely brings her daughter to such social gatherings, so Bai Xiaoyu is a little nervous when meeting so many strangers.
"I am twenty-three years old this year, so you should call me sister."
Liang Xuexian's facial features are very three-dimensional. At first glance, it is easy to be mistaken for a foreigner, but if you look closely, you can still see that her facial features still have some unique oriental charm.
"Ahem...Xue Xian." Liang Zhengrong realized that his daughter was too active and coughed slightly to tell her to calm down.
Liang Xuexian was reminded by her father and had to sit back in her seat.
But after sitting down, he was still waving to Bai Xiaoyu. Bai Xiaoyu felt that he was being stared at by this woman.
"Xue Xian has been working at the broadcasting company in Yinglan. It seems that she has some filming plans there recently, so she returned to China for a while."
Liang Zhengrong briefly introduced his daughter's background and then invited Bai Xiaoyu and Bai Ya to take their seats.
"Ms. Bai Ya, I don't think the other people sitting here need my introduction, right?" Liang Zhengrong said.
"We are all acquaintances. No need to trouble Mr. Liang... Mr. Lu Yusheng has not seen us for a long time."
Bai Ya said hello to the familiar faces in the restaurant one by one.
When Bai Ya said hello, Bai Xiaoyu was also listening silently. The more Bai Xiaoyu listened, the happier she felt.
At first, she thought that this meeting would be a quarrel between her mother and the film's investors, or even a plea.
If the last push and pull ended in failure, my mother would have suffered a huge blow and would probably become an alcoholic again after returning home.
Bai Xiaoyu has seen too many situations like this over the years, so she was ready to help her mother go home today.
But today Bai Xiaoyu came over and saw that this was not a humble begging for film investors to invest!
It's completely like the movie investors have prepared everything with both hands, and they just wait for Teacher Bai Ya to write the script and start shooting directly.
There were not only directors but also many actors sitting in the restaurant, and Liang Zhengrong was just one of them. It was more than enough for these people and some technical staff to make a new movie together.
It is also a movie with a strong appeal of actors.
This situation is both strange and familiar to Bai Xiaoyu. Shortly after her mother's "Old Friend from a Distant Place" was released, she was also in such high spirits.
As soon as the practitioners in the industry heard that it was Teacher Bai Ya's new script, they almost rushed to film it.
Now Bai Xiaoyu sees in his mother some shadows of her peak years.
But a somewhat rude voice interrupted Bai Xiaoyu's thoughts and fantasies. It was the voice of director Lu Yusheng.
"Teacher Bai Ya, we are all friends in the industry, so you won't be angry if I tell you the truth, right?"
Lu Yusheng spoke very loudly. He deliberately spoke so loudly so that everyone in the restaurant could hear him clearly.
"Please say."
Bai Ya also knew that what Director Lu Yusheng wanted to say might represent the thoughts of most people here.
"I came here today because I was invited by Mr. Liang. He likes your new script very much, Mr. Bai Ya, and wants to invite me to be the director of your new script. I did not agree directly."
Director Lu Yusheng's words made Bai Ya nodded humbly.
Maybe she would have chosen the director as the screenwriter for "My Old Friend from Far Away", but now it is the film director who chooses her.
Director Lu Yusheng is also a very influential figure in the Chinese film industry. He has collaborated with actor Liang Zhengrong on many films.
But both in terms of career achievements and seniority qualifications in the industry, he is still a generation below Director Xu Qing.
He knew this very well, so he said it directly without any mercy...
"If Director Xu Qing hadn't announced a new film in the near future, I might have agreed directly because it was Mr. Liang who recommended it. But if we start filming now, it will easily collide with Director Xu Qing's new film in terms of the schedule."
As a senior director, Lu Yusheng has a very accurate grasp of the filming cycle of a film, from review to final theatrical release.
If Baek Ya is in such a hurry to start filming now, it will be easy for the new movie to collide with the new work of director Xu Qing when it is released.
"It's not easy, but it will definitely..."
Bai Ya didn't know where she got the courage to say this. It might have come from Qiu Yuan's provocation to Lin Wanqiu at the military banquet.
"Mr. Lu Yusheng, are you scared?" Bai Ya said again.
This provocation, which was as provocative as a general, did not make Director Lu Yusheng angry. Instead, it made him laugh a little and said...
"I'm really scared. Director Xu Qing's capital this time is Cloud Media. When the films are released in theaters, Director Xu will definitely be given priority in all scheduling. Teacher Bai Ya, have you forgotten how you lost the previous two works?
Yet?"
Lu Yusheng wasn't too polite, since everyone was just tearing each other's scars apart. It's not a new thing that Bai Ya's first two works were suppressed by Cloud Media.
It is almost a joke that people in the industry can make fun of casually, but there is also an element of Bai Ya's dissatisfaction in it.
"Previously, the works that Cloud Media used to suppress Teacher Bai Ya were all works that were acceptable at the box office, but in fact they just let the audience kill time."
Director Lu Yusheng went straight to the topic.
In fact, he is not afraid of cloud media. No matter how capital operates, it cannot suppress a truly good film.
In other words, as long as your movie is good enough, capital will help you operate in turn.
"This time is different. I also know a little bit about director Xu Qing's new film. As long as the filming is good, there will be no doubt that it will win many domestic awards this year."
Director Lu Yusheng paused here, and then said in a serious and low voice.
"This is something everyone knows, so if you and I want to win against Director Xu this time, the script you gave us must at least be better than your peak work "My Old Friend from a Distance"!"
The moment this condition was stated, the silence in the restaurant was replaced by whispers. The visitors, except family members, were all industry insiders.
They understand how difficult it is for a film screenwriter to surpass the peak work of his life. Some people can't do it in their lifetime, let alone Bai Ya, who is currently in a sluggish state.
Bai Ya didn't speak again this time. Bai Xiaoyu on the side looked at her mother with worried eyes.
It's Cloud Media again! How far do you want to push my mother?
In the past, Bai Xiaoyu clearly remembered the way Bai Ya drank to drown her sorrows and depression day by day. The more she thought about cloud media, the more she thought of Qiu Yuan inexplicably.
"Teacher Bai Ya."
Director Lu Yusheng took off his glasses and wiped them while talking.
"How about this, if your new script is really excellent, we will move our schedule back to the Spring Festival. After all, everyone makes movies to make money. There is no need to struggle with the box office, and there is no need to really
I went head-to-head with Director Xu Qing and Cloud Media in order to fight for my breath."
Bai Ya heard this... The reason why she was so hesitant was actually thinking, wouldn't it be better to earn more box office if it was released on a different schedule?
This... there is no need to argue with Cloud Media.
But she suddenly felt her daughter reach out and give her a gentle squeeze.
Bai Xiaoyu didn't tell anyone the reason why Bai Xiaoyu didn't go to school, but as a mother, she knew it very well.
Because the tuition fees at Bai Xiaoyu's school were too expensive, she wanted to support her mother in this way.
Bai Ya has spent almost two or three years in the shadow of Cloud Media, and Bai Xiaoyu has also spent two or three years in this uneasy feeling.
Maybe Bai Xiaoyu has been dreaming about seeking revenge from Cloud Media for the past two or three years.
Qiu Yuan gave her this script not to make some box office money.
'I want to make her wish come true.'
Qiu Yuan's words made Bai Ya take out the script and put it directly on the table and looked at Director Lu Yusheng and said...
"I'm just fighting for this breath!"
"Teacher Bai Ya, please..."
Director Lu Yusheng feels that he has given enough warnings. People...don't do anything in order to make money.
"Teacher Lu Yusheng, please read this script first." Liang Zhengrong stepped forward and handed the script to Director Lu Yusheng.
Director Lu Yusheng silently picked up the script of "Not the God of Medicine" handed over by Bai Ya.
At first, his expression was still filled with deep distrust, but this distrust turned into deep concern.
The worry was that director Lu Yusheng felt that the script was okay and could be released at a different time, but after seeing the later part, his worry turned into an unabashed smile.
This kind of smile is very familiar to Bai Ya. It is the smile of someone who has been bullied for a long time and finally gets revenge.
The entire script was quickly read by director Lu Yusheng. He put down the script and looked at Bai Ya again.
"Teacher Bai Ya, I will fight you in this battle!"
