Director Loves No One

Chapter 30

Chu Xiaxing stared at the calm Song Wenye, not sure if he was intentional or not. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with great interest: "Can you keep in touch, mainly to see your face, as long as you become ugly, delete each other directly, maybe you don't have to wait until you are old."

Song Wenye glanced at her helplessly, and he was a little bit incredulous: "... Really judge people by their appearance, without looking at their inner meaning at all?"

Chu Xiaxing said confidently, "I already have enough connotation, why should I look at the connotation of others?"

Song Wenye: "..."

Song Wenye took a deep breath and sighed, "Okay, then I'll try my best to make a vase."

Chu Xiaxing: "Don't talk like that, it makes me look like a prostitute."

Song Wenye didn't answer, he silently stared at Chu Xiaxing, his eyes were full of "isn't it?" questions.

After the screening of "Wandering", the four also left the cinema and moved to a nearby restaurant for dinner. Xia Hong and Zhou Xuelu were chatting in the theater, and when they arrived at the restaurant, they were much more obedient and ate with their heads down.

In the quiet environment, Chu Xiaxing looked at the two elementary school students opposite her. She was like an elder checking their homework and asked, "What are you discussing while watching the movie? Are you talking about the camera?"

Xia Hong held the knife and fork, and said with a dull expression, "Forget it."

Zhou Xuelu was also dazed: "I remember there were a lot of beautiful long shots..."

Chu Xiaxing looked at the ignorant and incompetent duo, and said hesitantly, "...Since I don't understand it, why do you still propose to watch it?"

Xia Hong: "It's not related to the project I'm in contact with, I just said to prepare in advance!"

Chu Xiaxing didn't take his words to heart, she teased casually: "What? Xu Xiancheng wants to cooperate with you?"

Xia Hong smiled and said, "Oh, there is Director Chu who would use Director Xu, not the director of "Man Ran", but the screenwriter of "Man Ran". His book is about to start the project, and he is looking for a partner company of Liantou... "

Chu Xiaxing was taken aback: "You mean Wang Toyota?"

When Xia Hong saw her name the screenwriter in a second, he couldn't help but say, "Director Chu really knows everyone!"

As long as you spend a certain amount of time in the circle, you will basically be familiar with all the people at the same level. Everyone will communicate and discuss with each other, and even if you have not cooperated before, you will hear the wind.

After all, Chu Xiaxing has been competing with Xu Xiancheng for many years, how could she not know Wang Toyota's name, she whispered in a low voice, "Then you really did the wrong preparation. The one with the least contribution in "Man Ran" is the screenwriter, and Wang Toyota himself doesn't like this film. Movieā€¦ "

Wang Toyota is a screenwriter with a high level in the circle. His most famous work is "Man Ran", but his least satisfied work is also "Man Ran". The reason is very simple. Xu Xiancheng is a talented director. He has a strong personal style and especially likes to change the script. The finished film is completely different from the script of "Man Ran".

This incident made screenwriter Wang Toyota feel uneasy. Even though the movie "Man Ran" won numerous awards, he felt that it had nothing to do with him. Wang Toyota later wrote many excellent scripts, but none of them could cross the mountain of "Man Ran", which made him feel sick.

Chu Xiaxing probably understands Wang Toyota's mentality. The literati have some arrogance. He wants to prove that his script can be done without Director Xu, but he has been almost lucky for so many years. It is not that things are not good enough, but sometimes it depends on fate.

When Chu Xiaxing heard the name of Wang Toyota, she was also impressed by Xia Hong, and said with emotion: "Yes, you can get in touch with Wang Toyota, which is different from when you first became a producer!"

She has always regarded Xia Hong as a playboy, but if he can get in touch with Wang Toyota, he will definitely have some energy.

Xia Hong scratched his head embarrassedly, he secretly glanced at the quiet Song Wenye, and reminded: "Ahem, don't we have the ability to make money..."

It is indeed difficult for Xia Hong to talk to Wang Toyota, but Yuansheng Group is different, it is more face-saving to talk about things!

Song Wenye said calmly, "No, I have no ability. I just turned it into a vase."

Xia Hong and Zhou Xuelu: "?"

Chu Xiaxing: "..."

As a senior in the vase class, Zhou Xuelu really revealed a trace of confusion: "...I'm under so much employment pressure now?"

Zhou Xuelu: A workaholic is a workaholic, and you can grab the job of the salted fish!

Song Wenye could only help Fanke Films get connected, but he himself was not very good at showing up and talking. Zhou Xuelu is an actress, she was suitable for admission when the project was finalized, and now there is no reason to see Wang Toyota. In the end, Chu Xiaxing and Xia Hong were the people who came forward to communicate. The nominal leader was Xia Hong, but everyone knew that he had no experience.

Outside the company, Xia Hong has never cooperated with a well-known teacher. He hesitated and said, "Mr. Wang's temper should be okay?"

Although Wang Toyota is not as famous as Chu Xiaxing and Xu Xiancheng, he is still someone who can leave his name on film and television textbooks. Even if he never writes scripts in the future, he will be respected if he simply eats his money.

Chu Xiaxing comforted: "Don't worry, the company that came over today is probably not just us. Wang Toyota is not so busy, and can meet you alone."

Chu Xiaxing also had this kind of life. Once they become masters, they don't need to find a producer at all, and the management can step over your threshold. She didn't have time to receive producers before, and some people made a special trip to the Hengdian crew to squat with her, just to chat with her about the project in hand during the break, and wanted to make an appointment.

There is a huge gap between the two poles of the film and television industry. People at the top of the pyramid will never be short of jobs, but people at the bottom of the tower may be poor and have not filmed for many years.

Sure enough, when Chu Xiaxing and Xia Hong arrived at the conference room, there were already four or five people sitting in the room, all with unfamiliar faces. Someone stood up first and greeted enthusiastically: "You guys are also here to find Teacher Wang, our Teacher Wang is really in demand!"

The man who got up took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Xia Hong, and said in greeting: "Hello, my name is Li Jie, are you both producers?"

Xia Hong shook his hand politely: "Hello, I'm the producer Xia Hong, this is the director..."

Li Jie looked at Chu Xiaxing in surprise: "It's actually a female director? She's amazing, I really admire her!"

When Chu Xiaxing heard the praise from the other party, he didn't take it to heart. Li Jie was obviously talking casually, but his expression did not reveal admiration, but was slightly suspicious. She had seen too many similar eyes before, and said calmly, "Hello, my name is Chu Xiaxing."

Li Jie laughed playfully: "This name is amazing! You actually have the same name as Director Chu, a genuine little Director Chu!?"

Xia Hong explained: "Their last word is different..."

Others echoed their words: "You shouldn't come to Director Chu today. If you want to meet with Teacher Wang, you should come to Director Xu!"

In recent years, as long as there are young and talented directors, various marketing accounts like to post the title of "Little Xu Xiancheng". If a rookie female director makes certain achievements, then the title of "Little Chu Xia Xing" should be put on it, anyway. It's a gimmick.

If a female director heard this today, she might be a little embarrassed now, thinking that Li Jie was half-joking and half-sarcastic, but Chu Xiaxing rubbed off on her own enthusiasm, she suddenly felt at ease, and skillfully stepped on one hand: "Also What little director Xu is here, obviously Chu has a high degree of heat conduction, so of course I will be a little director of Chu."

Chu Xiaxing: Whoever is popular is more popular than Xu Hong!

Everyone was amused by Chu Xiaxing's cheeky face. Li Jie saw that she was so frank, but it was hard to say anything more.

There are producers from various companies in the house, and there are really no other directors. Because Wang Toyota's project will definitely require multiple joint investment, there is also a screening or negotiation link in the early stage to see which company is mainly responsible for the production. Some companies only invest in production regardless of production, while others invest in both production and production, and they have different voices in the project.

Most of the producers who came to meet today want to manage the production. If they can go out and talk about things with Wang Toyota's script, their future resumes will be brighter, and they can even help their company access new resources. Money alone is not enough in this industry, it is very dependent on connections, and connections are built on the fame of masters.

It didn't take long for Wang Toyota to appear in the conference room. With his usual master-like business smile, he greeted him quite amiably, instantly making the room lively. The producers were all around Wang Toyota to flatter him. Naturally, Chu Xiaxing didn't need to do such a thing, he just looked at the jerky young master Xia Hong like watching the excitement.

Li Jie said warmly: "Mr. Wang, "Man Ran" has been re-released recently, and our whole company has reserved a venue to watch it!"

Chu Xiaxing raised his brows, thinking that this producer can't open the pot and lift it. He probably doesn't know Teacher Wang's pain point.

Wang Toyota's smile was slightly stagnant, but he remained calm and said lightly, "Really?"

Li Jie: "We just said that if we can find a good director for this drama, it will be no problem..."

Wang Fengtian's eyes darkened slightly, and he pointedly said: "... Director Xu is not easy to find."

At this time, everyone seemed to realize that Wang Toyota was in a low mood, but they didn't know where to provoke the other party. Who let the young people not know the inside story of the script back then.

Someone deliberately activated the atmosphere and laughed and said: "It's okay, we don't have a little director Chu, there is only one sitting in the room!"

This is a way of diverting the topic, making jokes about Chu Xiaxing's name, don't make the atmosphere too tense.

When the others heard the words, they went to look at Chu Xiaxing, who was watching the drama quietly.

"Mr. Wang, this director's name is Chu Xiaxin, it sounds just like Director Chu!"

Wang Toyota looked past the crowd that surrounded him. He looked at Chu Xiaxing, who was watching the play at the conference table. He had a nostalgic look. Taste, the sitting posture is a bit similar."

Chu Xiaxing was quite surprised when he heard the words: "Have you worked together before?"

Chu Xiaxing clearly remembered that he had never cooperated with Wang Toyota on projects.

Wang Fengtian smiled and patted his stomach: "I met him at the awards ceremony, how could I have the face to cooperate with Director Chu, the screenwriters she cooperated with are all beautiful girls, I am not worthy!"

Chu Xiaxing: "..." You really know something about the past.

Chu Xiaxing seldom cooperated with male screenwriters before, not because of any prejudice, but because he didn't meet the right one. The director and the screenwriter need to work with each other, and there are occasional differences in the thinking of men and women. It is a coincidence that she always cooperates with female screenwriters, and she is by no means judging people by their appearance (only a little).

When everyone listened to Wang Fengtian's humorous talk about the past, they all laughed in cooperation and joked: "Mr. Wang is really humble, you have worked with few big names, and Director Xu is no worse than Director Chu!"

Wang Toyota's smile dimmed: "That's still different. Some directors allow others to play, and some directors just let themselves shine, but the crew works as a team."

Chu Xiaxing smelled the gossip, and she raised her eyebrows with interest: "Mr. Wang thinks that Director Xu doesn't respect you enough?"

When the others heard her instigation, they all looked at Chu Xiaxing in horror, not knowing where she got the courage.

Hearing this, Wang Fengfeng was not annoyed, but smiled with emotion: "You really look like Director Chu, and you even speak in the same style as her, which is particularly disturbing..."

"However, Director Chu is usually rude, but he respects people at work. Dao Xu usually looks at Mian Shan, but he doesn't look down on anyone when it comes to art." Wang Toyota's eyes drifted to the side, he seemed to Reminiscing a lot of the past, showing a helpless look.

Wang Fengtian came back to his senses. He looked at Chu Xiaxing and said with a smile, "I always feel that I have an inexplicable affinity with you."

Chu Xiaxing said brazenly, "I think so too."

Chu Xiaxing: We are all old black fans of Xu Xiancheng, but we feel that we are inexplicable!
