190 An An's troubles
"Go to bed early, I'll pick you up tomorrow, don't you don't get up again."
"Got it! Then I'll sleep, good night~"
"Good night~"
Hanging up the video, Shen Yize opened the mailbox.
The monthly report for September, which was made by various departments before the holidays, was checked by him one by one.
The first is the report of the Ministry of Human Resources.
Seven people left last month, all of whom were artist agents and assistants. Many young people lack understanding of this industry, and are full of unrealistic fantasies about the profession of artist manager and artist assistant, only to find that this is not the case after coming, and there are many who can't adapt or can't accept the gap, and it is reasonable to choose to leave.
There are 37 new recruits, one-third of whom are screenwriters, and they are senior screenwriters above the intermediate level, and most of them have jumped from Huaying.
He browsed the list and saw that there was not only his old boss and editor-in-chief Wang Fan of the urban group, but also Wang Yuan, the editor-in-chief of the suspense group, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
As a screenwriter, he understands very well that big screenwriters like Wang Fan and Wang Yuan, who have made achievements, not to mention their own ability, but more importantly, they bring their own resources and connections.
During this time, Shen Yize had some exchanges with Lao Xu.
Xu Fengyang entered the industry early, and he is the former senior editor of Huaying, and has a lot to do with these big screenwriters.
Lao Xu told him that nine times out of ten, the middle and senior editors of Huaying have the intention to change jobs, but most of them still have unfinished work in their hands and can't get out of it for a while.
Now it seems that what Lao Xu said is true.
The lineup of Huaying's screenwriting department, Shen Yize, has been coveted for a long time, and over time, it will definitely be emptied.
The report of the Ministry of Finance is even better, after removing the five million invested in Cai Youning, the income and expenditure in September have basically reached a balance, and the income mainly depends on copyright and the brokerage activities of artists, and the expenditure is almost all in the film and television department and personnel costs.
September involves the handover of the Q3 quarter with Univision, so the report of the project department is extraordinarily long. In addition, the company has also received some small drama projects, although the profit is not high, but no matter how small the fly is, it is meat, and it is better than nothing.
In addition to Cai Youning's Dolphin Technology Co., Ltd., which is being registered, foreign investment has also participated in several low-cost online movies, both in investment and filming. Although there is a high probability of losing money, this loss is nothing, it is regarded as an opportunity for the film and television department to practice, and it is also a review of their level.
He was watching how the film and television department was defeated, and suddenly the prompt sound of a micro-message sounded.
When I opened my phone, it turned out to be Ding Shijie: "Did you sleep?" β
He replied, "No." β
A few seconds later, the other party called, and as soon as he picked it up, it was Ding Shijie's voice: "What are you doing lately?" Why hasn't there been any movement? β
"What else can you do, busy!" He said casually, "In the middle of the night, you shouldn't have been knocked down by a woman again, and asked me to save you, right?" β
"How can I have that leisure! To be serious, we have almost done "The Road to the East", the sample film has been cut, you can take the time to take a look at it one day, or let Gu Bian come. I'm ready to submit it for review within this month. β
Shen Yize decided to see the effect of the finished film in person, so he made an appointment with Ding Shijie after the festival.
He has read the script, and the character design of "The Road to the East" is taken from "Journey to the West", but the story is original, telling that after the four Tang monks and apprentices got the true scriptures, they were chased and killed by unknown forces on the way back, and finally successfully escorted the scriptures back to the Tang Dynasty after hardships.
Gu Shu retained the core ideas provided by Ding Shijie, and only fine-tuned the plot, and the main modifications and polishes focused on the lines, which is also where the screenwriter's skills are reflected.
To be honest, he was quite worried at first, because Ding Shijie was very bold to set the mastermind behind the scenes as a Tang monk with vested interests rather than a demon and a monster, and it was beyond his expectation that this setting could be filed and publicized, and if the lines were not handled properly, it was likely to be deleted in large paragraphs.
After reading the script, he settled down. Gu Shu's grasp of the scale is very good, the dialogue of the characters is on point, and the focus is also on praising the benevolence and tenacity of Tang monks and apprentices, rather than attacking the villain's sanctimony. At this level, there should be no problem in passing the trial.
With the completion of this script, as long as the animation production does not pull the crotch, it is likely to soar, even surpassing the "Return of the Great Sage" that year.
He flipped out the October schedule and added "firefly animation" to the full schedule.
After this holiday, there are all kinds of affairs, meetings and entertainment, just looking at it is a big head, fortunately, An An is also busy, fortunately, there is a buffer for this holiday, otherwise she may really be left out in the cold.
β¦β¦
Yang Jiuan got up early, took a quick shower, and really hesitated for a while when choosing clothes.
She first put on her favorite ruffled doll shirt, which fit her very well, sweet and girly, and wore it at most eighteen years old.
On second thought, he was going to meet his friend today, and it didn't seem appropriate to dress too young.
Changing into a lake blue dress, the skirt is good, elegant and figure-showing, it looks more mature, but it doesn't seem good to wear a skirt just to the farm.
After picking and choosing, I decided to be simpler, so I picked out a loose printed sweatshirt, and then put on a high-waisted Harem trousers, and stood in front of the full-length mirror, with a leg length of nearly one meter two, and the visual effect was quite good.
"The sparrow outside the window, beaked on a telephone poleβ"
As soon as she changed her clothes, the bell rang in her hand.
This ringtone, there is no doubt about him.
picked up the phone, and his gentle voice immediately came from the phone: "Are you up yet?" I'm coming! β
"It's up, it's up! I'll be down right away! β
There was no time to put the clothes she had tried on into the closet, so she hurried to sit down at the dresser and put on makeup.
The makeup doesn't have to be heavy, but it must be there, and it's too rude to go to see his friend with a plain face.
Put on her makeup, put her phone, keys, sunscreen, toner, etc. into the ice blue backpack he gave her, and then hurriedly went downstairs with the bag on her back.
His car was already waiting outside the community.
"How long have you been waiting?"
got into the car, Yang Jiuan asked.
Shen Yize said calmly: "It's okay, it's only ten minutes." β
She stuck out her tongue and explained, "I actually got up quite early, but it took too much time to choose clothes. β
"It's okay, it's normal for girls to be ten minutes late."
He paused, looked at her clothes a few times, and said with a smile: "You scheming, why are you wearing such high-waisted pants?" Don't think your legs are long enough? β
"You just say I'm not long-legged, right?"
"Of course, it's a pity not to work in the field with such long legs."
"Get out!" Yang Jiu'an glanced at him, "Let's pick up Sissi first, and I'll send you the address." β
Drive to Xu Wenqian's house.
"Have you had breakfast?"
"Nope."
"Bought you something to eat, in my backpack."
"I guessed you'd buy it for me, so I deliberately didn't eat it."
"Yes, yes, thank you Director Yang for giving me a chance to perform."
Yang Jiuan unzipped his backpack with a smile, it was a familiar double-layer insulated box.
"Red bean porridge?"
Shen Yize smiled and said nothing, quietly waiting for her to open the lid.
"Panini?"
She was so shocked that she couldn't keep her mouth shut.
As soon as the lid was lifted, the crispy aroma of bread greeted me. The double-walled insulated box contained a sandwich in each box, and the simmering bread was still steaming from the burnt red marks, apparently just bought for a short time.
"What's the two?"
Shen Yize's face did not change and said: "I haven't eaten either, waiting for you to feed me!" β
She pursed her lips and smiled, "How do you know I like this?" β
"You posted it on Moments, you did it yourself."
"yes. You can, my circle of friends remembers it better than I do. β
She brought the sandwich to his lips.
"You eat first." Shen Yize said, "Of course, I always remember important things very clearly. β
This made her heart feel good.
As soon as you bite into it, the crispy and hot crust of the bread is filled with refreshing and delicious tuna, corn kernels, mayonnaise and lettuce leaves.
Yang Jiuan said vaguely while chewing: "I often bought this when I was studying abroad, it was delicious and inexpensive, and it was more fragrant when it was freshly baked, I think it was a bit like a meat bun, but it was not as oily as a meat bun." Where did you buy it? It shouldn't be easy to buy in China, right? β
After returning to China, she only ate a perfunctory version of Panini at KFC, which is the kind of pork chop or chicken fillet grilled and grilled, which is completely incomparable with the two pieces he bought.
Shen Yize said: "I didn't deliberately look for it, I saw it on the road one day, so I bought it and tasted it, and I don't know if it's authentic, anyway, it feels delicious." β
"There's no such thing as a real thing, it's just a hot sandwich, as long as the bread is toasted and crispy. But the one you bought is very conscientious, very similar to what I eat in London, and it is much better than fast food restaurants. Speaking of Panini, I am reminded of a particularly awkward incident. β
He became interested and asked, "What's the matter?" I just like to hear about it. β
Yang Jiu'an didn't rush to say, first took a sip of milk to moisten his throat, then took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, and then said: "You know, Panini is the transliteration of the Italian Panini, P-a-n-i-n-i. β
Afraid that he didn't know, she also specially spelled it.
"Our school is not a credit system, some credits are electives, and you can take any course in any major. When I first entered the school, my English was not very good, so I took a cooking class, and there was a class for us to make pastries, and I made a panini. β
After doing it, the teacher asked them one by one and asked them to introduce what they did and how they did it. When asked, I said out loud: I cooked a penis! β
"Poofhahahaha!"
Shen Yize laughed out loud.
Yang Jiu'an blushed slightly, laughed with him, and said while laughing: "At that time, after I finished speaking, the whole classroom was quiet, and those foreign brothers all looked at me in shock, it was really embarrassing......
Shen Yize smiled: "People must think, why is this woman so tough." β
"I don't know what's going on, so my brain suddenly twitched, the key is that I didn't react for a long time, and continued to introduce how Penis was baked, thanks to the teacher who corrected me in time, it's too embarrassing."
"And is that thing you baked delicious?"
He asked meaningfully.
Yang Jiu'an was stunned, and immediately understood what he meant, his face was flushed, and he raised his hand to slap him: "Hooligans!" β
After receiving Xu Wenqian, he immediately drove towards the farm.
"You may already know, but I'll still officially introduce you, Sissi is my junior high and high school classmate, my best friend for more than ten years, and no one in this world should know me better than her."
Xu Wenqian said with a smile: "It's just temporary, in another year or two, I will be compared to Mr. Shen." β
You think too much, it won't take a year or two for so long.
Shen Yize thought in his heart, and said: "What is the name of Mr. Shen during non-working hours, you can call me senior like Chunlin." β
Xu Wenqian immediately said, "Why should I be like him? He calls you senior, so I'll call you senior brother. β
"What, do you have any contradictions with Chunlin?"
"No, we've always been here against each other, in college."
"But I heard that when you were in college, you were the class president, and he was the secretary of the Youth League? Is this really good for class unity? β
"Of course, business is public, but only in private. It's not that I took the initiative to provoke, it's that he always finds fault with me and finds fault with me, so naturally I can't get used to him. β
Shen Yize touched his face, thinking that Zhang Chunlin probably didn't know how to attract Xu Wenqian's attention, and he was worried about exposing his careful thoughts, so he chose this kind of "the more you like it, the more you have to treat you badly" schoolboy-style mode of getting along.
He thought for a moment, pretended to be surprised, and said, "It's strange, he never did this when he got along with us, why is he so different from you?" β
"Who knows! The eight characters don't match! β
Xu Wenqian claimed to be a master of love theory, and pointed out that Yang Jiu'an was the way, and when it came to herself, she was as confused as An An.
On the contrary, Yang Jiu'an understood Shen Yize's hint and said clearly: "Sissi, your classmate shouldn't like you, right?" β
"Huh? How can it be? β
"Why can't it be?"
Shen Yize asked rhetorically.
Xu Wenqian shrugged: "Because I have been a classmate with him for four years, he has never shown it." You can't go against me, it's a sign of liking me, right? I felt that he was treating me as the number one competitor and was afraid that I would surpass him, so he tried to suppress me. β
Shen Yize sighed noncommittally, as a bystander, this kind of thing is just a sentence or two, and talking too much will only backfire.
"Let's listen to the song."
Yang Jiu'an proposed.
"Okay, put your playlist."
connected to An An's mobile phone Bluetooth and started playing her song list, and the first song was "Qili Xiang".
The familiar prelude sounded, and the trio hummed softly.
Xu Wenqian sighed: "This song is so good, the judges of this year's Golden Melody Awards should have a headache, there are so many good songs, I feel that I can give it to anyone." β
Yang Jiuan said with a smile: "There are so many good songs, aren't they all written by Teacher Zhuang?" Give the same to which capital. β
Shen Yize shook his head: "It's hard to say, Yu Sheng's songs are also very good, she won the award last year." β
Yang Jiuan disagreed: "Anyway, I like your song more, not only me, I read the comments and say so, Yu Sheng's comments on that song are all 'the next door wins', it can be seen that the eyes of the masses are still bright." β
"Do you still read the comments?"
"Hmm...... Look at it once in a while. β
Look at it once in a while, one day at a time. In fact, the reason why she slept late the day before yesterday was because she couldn't stop brushing comments, and when she saw the praise of "Qili Xiang", she was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and she was not even so excited that her own works were recognized.
Ducilicality, she felt weak for a while, and quickly diverted the conversation and asked, "Don't you read the comments?" β
"Me? I also rarely, occasionally. β
Yang Jiu Anqi said: "Why? Don't you want to see what others say about your work? β
If it's my own work, of course I want to, but unfortunately it's not.
Even if he sees all the praise, he won't have much sense of accomplishment.
He smiled and said, "There's no need, I'm confident in this song, and instead of wasting time brushing reviews, I might as well write a few more songs." β
