Chapter 182 The veteran of the stage play

Two days later, Yucheng Airport.

Meng Shu carried his bag and came to the exit. Looking at the unfamiliar environment around him, he stretched out and relaxed the restrained posture that he had been in for almost 2 hours on the plane.

Then he took a deep breath and took out his cell phone to call a ride-hailing service.

This time I came all the way to Yucheng mainly to meet and communicate with Director Li.

Two days ago, after supervisor Lian gave him his contact information, he contacted Director Li on the phone.

Then, the two briefly communicated and got to know each other.

Director Li's full name is Li Chengshuang, and he is an old artist.

According to autobiographical information on the Internet, he was originally a handyman on the crew in his early years. Later, he met his life mentor at a stage play by accident. From then on, he began his life as a stage actor, and then step by step he grew from a small stage actor to a stage actor.

Now a successful artist director.

It is said that he also brought out many successful apprentices.

At the beginning, Meng Shu thought that he could hire such a person? Or, would he be able to do whatever he wanted after hiring him?

But after some exchanges, it was discovered that the other party was not as stubborn as Meng Shu thought, and instead seemed very kind.

The person the supervisor found is really quite good.

Moreover, when he heard that he was willing to direct the stage play, the other party did not refuse directly, but his tone sounded a little awkward.

After careful questioning, I found out that Director Li had retired and was living a retirement life.

If I were to ask him to direct a stage play, he would be a little out of his depth.

After hearing this, Meng Shu expressed his understanding and planned to give up the idea of ​​inviting Director Li.

There is no other way. Since they have retired, why bother them?

As a result, when Director Li learned from the polite inquiry that it was a horror-type stage play, his tone changed on the spot and he started asking for details.

Although Meng Shu found that Director Li seemed to have suddenly changed, he still briefly explained the overall story flow.

As a result, Director Li was silent for a while and then replied.

[Maybe we should meet.]

Then, Meng Shu came to Yucheng.

The reason why Meng Shu came to see Director Li was not because he was trying to be a big star, but out of respect for the old artist, so he deserved to go there.

So now, Meng Shu, who arrived in Yucheng, went to a company called "Yu Yang Media" through the specific address sent by Director Li.

This is a street store, and the door decoration is quite in line with Meng Shu's aesthetics.

Looking at the busy traffic on both sides, it seems that the area here is very prosperous.

Meng Shu picked up her bag and as soon as she walked in, she saw the lady at the front desk standing up with a water glass.

As a result, when she saw someone coming in, she put down her water glass again and asked politely.

"Hello, do you need anything?"

Meng Shu looked around and then looked at the front desk.

"My surname is Meng, and Mr. Li and I have made an appointment to meet."

The front desk lady immediately nodded in understanding.

"Hello Mr. Meng, please wait a moment."

As he said that, he showed a smile, and then walked towards the back of the background wall, presumably to make a notification.

I have to say that this company is a bit beyond Meng Shu’s imagination.

He originally thought it was a street advertising store, but he didn't expect it to be a high-end-looking business company.

All in all, he was very satisfied with the first impression.

Soon, less than a minute later, the front desk lady came out.

"Hello Mr. Meng, please come this way."

The lady at the front desk extended her hand to signal, and Meng Shu nodded and followed.

After passing through the employee office area, we came to an office covered with frosted cellophane paper.

The lady at the front desk knocked on the door, and soon an old voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

The lady at the front desk opened the door and looked at Meng Shu with a smile.

The latter smiled back and stepped in.

With just one glance, I saw an old man over fifty years old sitting on the mahogany coffee table.

Although he is very old, he does not show any signs of fatigue and appears to be in good spirits.

After seeing Meng Shu come in, he was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up with a smile to greet him.

"Hello Mr. Meng, come, please sit down."

Meng Shu smiled and nodded. Before he could speak after sitting down, he saw Director Li pouring a cup of tea and handing it over.

"The clean tea cup used for entertaining guests has just been filtered. There is no tea dirt in it, so the tea may be a bit weak. Please forgive me."

"It's okay, Director Li, I don't mind this."

Meng Shu glanced at the teacup and felt more satisfied with Director Li.

In the past, when I went to other people's companies, although there were tea sets, for the guests, they basically just used disposable cups. Who would give you a tea cup?

It’s not like I have a good relationship with them, let alone the first time they met.

From this point of view, Director Li attaches great importance to it.

Of course, it could also be that he was watching someone, or someone else was visiting him, and Director Li might have served him a disposable cup.

Thinking about it, Meng Shu handed over a business card.

Director Li took it, glanced at it, and smiled. Then he put it away and started making tea for himself.

"Mr. Meng is really young and promising. Miss Lian introduced you to me. I could hear your steady voice when we called you before. Now when we meet, it's true that there are many capable people, even at such a young age.

Achievement."

"If my son had half of your abilities, I would probably have entered the coffin with a smile."

Meng Shu immediately waved his hand and became humble.

"It's okay, Mr. Li thanks you. I came here this time mainly because of what we talked about on the phone before."

With that said, Meng Shu took out a stack of stapled A4 paper from his bag and handed it over.

This is the stage script for "Dead Space", which also contains the concept design draft of the monster image.

After seeing this, Director Li quickly put down the tea utensils, took out a piece of paper and wiped the wet stains on his hands, then took it with both hands.

It can be seen that his attitude also has a hint of respect.

Then, he put on his glasses and began to read carefully.

After a while, his expression became more and more frightened, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

In the huge office, apart from the sound of papers being turned, there was Director Li's slight breathing.

He flipped through the pages page by page. The script in front of him had smooth story development, obvious style and conception, and several terrifying places even made his eyes light up.

There are also images of monsters, the paintings are terrifying and frightening, and their appearance is simply beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Especially for him, it is simply a new thing!

After matching the pictures and texts, Mr. Li couldn't help but have a sense of the picture in his mind, and his expression slowly changed at this moment.

Meng Shu was not in a hurry, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Well, I can't drink it.

After about ten minutes, Director Li finished flipping through the script, took off his glasses, and looked amazed.

After taking a sip of tea, he asked.

"Mr. Meng, you made it clear on the phone before that this stage play does not require a venue setting, stage effects equipment, or actors on stage, right?"

"Yes."

Meng Shu nodded and continued.

"It is said to be a stage play, but in fact it is just an exhibition stage. It cannot have some effect devices like fire, water and ribbons like a performance stage. That's why it adopts the form of holographic virtual 3D."

Director Li said he understood and continued to flip the script.

Then he frowned and spoke.

"I know something about the virtual stage show. If it is as you said on the phone. The scenes, backgrounds, characters, special effects, etc. are all handled by other teams, then there is really no problem. It's just..."

Director Li paused, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
