Su Mingxue was sitting in the reception room of Tianxia Film and Television with a manuscript, feeling very nervous...
In the past six months, her life has also changed a lot because of the encounter last Christmas.
In the past, she was more concerned about the business in the store. When she was bored, she went shopping with her good sisters and discussed fashion topics. Her life was dull and relaxed, but for some reason, there was always a little emptiness.
Sometimes she couldn't help asking herself, is her life gone like this?
Is it too dull and too unpursuing?
However, this kind of hesitant thought was completely broken on last Christmas day.
Meeting Ye Sumang not only greatly increased her sales, but also brought her another career full of magical meaning.
That's the writer!
She never thought that a little essay from her Pingyue would be taken by the director. And looking at Ye Sumang's meaning, it seemed that there was a possibility of making a movie. At that time, she only felt a surprise hit her whole body like an electric current, which made her tremble with excitement. Even though she had just made a order of millions, the joy was not even more exciting.
At that moment, Su Mingxue felt as if a ray of dawn shone into her originally ordinary life, opening up a new road full of unknowns.
So after Ye Sumang left, she immediately picked up her notes and started to create them with enthusiasm again.
She also kept the contact information left by Ye Sumang very carefully and seriously, just waiting for her to complete the work before making this call.
And this creation lasted half a year.
This period was not smooth sailing. When she had no idea, she also doubted whether she had the potential to become a writer. When she was very dissatisfied with the article when she was sorting out the article and seeing a certain paragraph, she also doubted whether this quality work could be truly made into a movie and fulfill that seemingly unrealistic dream.
However, this confusion, inferiority, and depression could not defeat Su Mingxue. Half a year later, she finally felt that she could come up with a satisfactory article, which made her courage and call Ye Sumang for the first time.
What surprised her was that Ye Sumang did not refuse at all, and even decided to review her work in person three days later, which made Su Mingxue both excited and nervous. She knew very well that success or failure would be a success or failure.
Step-step-step-step-step-
A sound of footsteps gradually approached the reception room, and also woke Su Mingxue who had been wandering outside the sky. Unconsciously, her heartbeat seemed to be consistent with the sound of footsteps. Under nervousness, she even swallowed her saliva regardless of her image, but soon she breathed a sigh of relief.
Because the footsteps did not stop in front of the door, they left directly.
"I'm scared to death." Su Mingxue smiled self-deprecatingly.
"What scares you to death?" Just as Su Mingxue was still patting her chest and making fun of herself, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door.
Su Mingxue was really shocked by the sound, but she quickly reacted and looked up. Sure enough, at some point, Ye Sumang had already appeared at the door and was smiling at her.
"Hello, Director Ye." Su Mingxue stood up in a panic and hurriedly said hello.
"Don't be nervous, I really think I'm the kind of bad guy who specializes in bullying little girls in ancient times." Ye Sumang joked, then looked at the manuscript in Su Mingxue's hand and asked, "Is this the novel you wrote?"
"That's right, I've been in love for 33 days." Su Mingxue solemnly handed the manuscript to Ye Sumang with both hands. At this time, she was no longer so nervous. Ye Sumang's unpretentious behavior also made her feel much more at ease.
Ye Sumang didn't talk much. After taking the manuscript, he found a random seat to sit down and started to read it seriously.
The novel's perspective starts with an older single woman. The heroine is Huang Xiaoxian, 27 years old, engaged in high-end wedding planning. She has no big things on her chest, is average in appearance, and is also average in her family. The only thing she can show off is to speak mean words and be optimistic about the world. She has been in a long-distance relationship for seven years, but she has not achieved her true results. Instead, she saw her boyfriend and her best friend walking happily in the mall. So, a story about breaking up and falling in love begins...
The plot is very simple, and the novel is more like a sketch. You can watch every day as a small story, but each small story is very connected. As it accumulates little by little, a more special and precious love is also expressed in the breakup.
Overall, it's quite interesting.
Ye Sumang was flipping through the novel, but he did not forget to ask some questions about the novel to the original author beside him.
"Why is the heroine's career set as a wedding planner?"
"This is actually the inspiration I got from a friend. My best friend is actually quite similar to this heroine, and it can be regarded as a half-format model. He also has a boyfriend who has been in love for several years, but in the end it was not resolved. This best friend Pingyuli loves the most to plan happiness for others, but when she loses happiness, her crying look makes me feel very profound. I think setting the heroine as such a profession is to express the pursuit of happiness, and the other is also a kind of irony. Sometimes people who give happiness to others may not necessarily be happy..." Su Mingxue has definitely done enough homework for the novel, so she opened her mouth and answered the question Ye Sumang casually.
Ye Sumang was also a little surprised, but then he realized that he was indeed a store manager. With the careful preparation of his homework, he could see that this woman's ability at work was definitely not bad.
"Then why did you design the male protagonist as a womb? This seems not to be a favorite character demand for the audience now."
"Because of the heroine." Su Mingxue replied calmly: "The heroine's surname is very popular, and she can't tolerate a fool in her eyes. She lives a messy life and is careless. In the current words, she is just a person. How can I say it, a tomboy!"
puff……
As soon as this word came out, Ye Sumang, who had just picked up the water cup and drank the water, couldn't help but squirt it out. He is worthy of being a playwright. He can even think of such a good word as a female tomboy. However, when she thinks about what Huang Xiaoxian did, it seems to be quite appropriate.
While bringing a tissue for Ye Sumang, Su Mingxue continued to explain with a funny feeling: "So I want to write a complementary character. This boy is calm, organized, meticulous in life, and hygiene. In this way, they are destined to be enemies because of their different surnames. So I added a 'poisonous tongue' to the male protagonist. Finally, for fun, based on the above points, I finally confirmed the fake girl again, but this is just an external manifestation. The male protagonist looks at his mother, but he is not a mother."
"Ahem... Well, I'll take a look." Ye Sumang nodded with a smile.
This is a romance novel, but unlike the love that purely pursues touching in the past, it is closer to the style of modern drama, combining that touching, sadness, and laughter together. If Ye Sumang defines it, it is urban light comedy.
For an hour, Ye Sumang asked questions occasionally during this period, but more often they were watching the script repeatedly, studying the lines and characters. In short, the plot is not brain-burning and the structure is very clear. Although the plot is well-organized, the distinctive characteristics of the lines and characters can make up for the shortcomings in this regard. Comprehensive evaluation, Ye Sumang was able to give a b, which is worth a shot.
Moreover, these TV series made with novels often create good results at the box office.
Finally, after Ye Sumang finished reading the second time, he put down the script, and Su Mingxue also looked at him expectantly, waiting for the answer he gave.
"Very good." Ye Sumang said with a smile under Su Mingxue's anticipated gaze.
Although there are only two words, Su Mingxue was happier than getting the leader’s 100,000 words of affirmation in this moment, because these two words mean that her hard work over the past six months has finally been affirmed!
She succeeded!!!
"Thank you, director!" After being excited, Su Mingxue immediately stood up and thanked Ye Sumang with sincerity.
"The novel is very interesting. Although there are many shortcomings, it gives people a very exciting feeling overall. I am optimistic about the movie adaptation of this novel. I also hope that Miss Su, you can hand over the adaptation rights of this novel to our company. We will do our best to produce a movie that satisfies you and satisfies audiences across the country."
"Of course!" Su Mingxue agreed without hesitation. Isn't the efforts of the past six months just for this moment? What else can I hesitate about?
"Then I would like to thank Ms. Su for her trust. The transferred money and finance department will make a special trip to discuss with you. At the same time, I also want to invite you to participate in the adaptation of the script when the film enters the preparation stage. I also want to hear your opinions on the casting of the movie. After all, you are the author of the original work and have the deepest understanding of the characters."
Su Mingxue couldn't help but nodded in agreement with several small requests. She was very eager to join the script adaptation work, not to mention that she could still be interviewed for actors. She had long wanted to try the examiner who was acting on TV.
"Then I wish us a happy cooperation! I'll invite you to the cafeteria for dinner today."
"Director Ye is so stingy. Please go to the cafeteria to invite him to dinner." Su Mingxue was in a good mood and finally put down her last burden and made a joke with Ye Sumang.
Ye Sumang naturally didn't mind this, and as Su Mingxue said, Ye Sumang showed a proud expression and said, "You can taste the food in our canteen. It is definitely not worse than the star-rated hotels outside. You will be blessed after you are involved in the adaptation of the script. When you participate in the work of adapting the script, I believe that those days will definitely make you gain more than ten pounds."
"What, isn't it all right? Since Director Ye said so well, I must taste it."
The two walked towards the cafeteria jokingly, which surprised a bunch of employees passing by. They were all curious about Su Mingxue's identity and why she was joking with Ye Sumang like this. (To be continued.
