Jiang Baige took the business card and asked with a smile, "Were you working on a manuscript just now?"

Kou Yun then remembered that she hadn't put away her computer yet, so she stuffed it into her tote bag. "Well, there are two projects that are going to start shooting in June, and the scripts haven't been finalized yet, so I'm a little anxious."

"You seem quite busy?"

Jiang Baige asked casually, and Kou Yun's alarm bells immediately rang: "It's not that busy, it's just... we are a little short of manpower."

"Don't be nervous. It means there are many projects. If there are many projects, there will be money. Who wouldn't be happy to have money?"

As they talked, they walked to a nearby hot pot restaurant.

Originally, Kou Yun wanted to go to a more upscale place suitable for discussing serious matters, but Jiang Baige might be having her period soon these two days, so she wanted to eat something hot or cold.

Who knew that hotpot was so suitable for "breaking the ice"? Before the two of them had even taken a few bites, they opened up and started chatting.

Jiang Baige only then realized that Kou Yun had only graduated a few years ago.

Before I came to Landehutu, I was always the editor for the production team. Now I am in Landehutu, and I am responsible for the early stage planning of the script.

"So do you want to be a screenwriter yourself in the future?"

Kou Yun took a mouthful of wide noodles, and the red oil almost splashed onto her face. She dodged for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I originally studied this. You can learn a lot on the crew, but it is indeed quite exhausting. I came here to do the pre-production, and I also want to learn from the real screenwriters."

"Aren't you working as a screenwriter now?"

"Yes, but more like editing? The scripts we get are already finished."

Jiang Baige nodded to show that she understood.

Kou Yun added, "Teacher Jiang, if you come here, the work is pretty much the same. To be honest, it's easier than being with a crew. At least you don't have to run around everywhere, or stay up all day and night, and suffer from the tension between the director, screenwriter, and actors."

Jiang Baige really resonated with these words.

She had only been to three or four film crews, and except for the time when she got paid, she felt very tired, not to mention Kou Yun who had been in the crew for a year or two.

"Besides, we are only doing preliminary work. If we need to make adjustments or modifications, it will be much easier than in the middle and late stages..."

At this point, Kou Yun lowered his voice, a little embarrassed: "Besides, in the early stage, you can get in touch with screenwriters with a more normal mental state."

Who said no.

Although the literary editor has to bear the wrath of the screenwriter, does that mean the screenwriter does not have to bear the wrath of the director, producer and actors? If the editor is at the bottom, then the screenwriter may be only one level higher than her.

If you don't have a say, you have to endure the anger. In a film crew where the workload is heavy, the tasks are urgent, there are many things to do, the work and rest schedule is messy, and there are frequent emergencies... the anger will only get worse.

The screenwriter's fame is as bad as his temper, and many of them quit the team halfway through.

It seems that few people are happy at work. These crews, no matter big or small, famous or not, are all the same when it comes to torturing people.

Jiang Baige also couldn't help but complain about the days when she was with the crew of "Patricide" last year and had to be on high alert for the added scenes by Lao Ge and the male lead.

…The past is too painful to recall.

Kou Yun suddenly became interested: "Oh my god, it turned out that the play was so difficult to shoot... I thought short plays would be much easier."

"In terms of volume, it was easy, but because the script I was given from the beginning had a male protagonist, and the existence of the male protagonist could not be shaken, the logic of my novel was changed into a mess, the highlight of the female protagonist was all given to the male protagonist, and a female protagonist with acting skills but no fans was used as a scapegoat... All these things, one by one, I am not bragging about myself, I really turned the tide!"

After saying that, Jiang Baige added: "She even lost herself in the online bullying and almost died!"

"I've read that gossip too..." Kou Yun stuck out her tongue. "At the time, I was thinking, I thought all interesting souls would want to find soul mates, but I didn't expect you to be attracted to Lu Tian's appearance."

Hmm? That's a bit of a novel idea.

Because usually when a male celebrity scandal comes out, everyone will subconsciously focus on whether the female celebrity is "worthy" of the male celebrity.

But Kou Yun is just the opposite.

"A man's soul?" Jiang Baige exhaled through her nose and sneered, "I doubt whether there is such a thing in this world."

Kou Yun finished laughing and brought the topic back: "But that short play is really good. I liked it very much after watching it. And there is a lack of such themes in the market now. Mr. Zhao wanted you to come because he wanted to make this type of play."

"Speaking of Ms. Zhao, I think she has a unique vision. She has made up her mind to only make money from women."

This is not meant in a derogatory way.

Because while Zhao Bi is "making money from women", he is also providing women with job opportunities and giving them the chance to speak out and express themselves.

As a result, she even lost a large part of her money as a woman.

Kou Yun was able to come and work with Zhao Bi, so of course he knew this.

"In fact, our company is also dominated by women, with a very low proportion of men. Someone once joked that it would be difficult to find a partner like this, and CEO Zhao heard it and used it as an example at the meeting, saying that this is because the workload is not saturated, and there is nothing to do, so there are only men in their hearts."

Although this sounds very exploitative, isn't returning to the family also another form of exploitation?

At least the former can earn a little freedom.

And Zhao Bi is a capitalist after all, not a philanthropist.

In some respects, their interests are the same, and all we have to do is seize this and take advantage of it.

Jiang Baige and Kou Yun enjoyed the meal very much.

Before Jiang Baige returned home, Han Li called.

"How about it, isn't Xiao Kou a good person?"

"You know I talk a lot, so you found someone lively and cheerful to talk to me?" Jiang Baige put the phone to her ear and looked for the access card.

Han Li laughed, as if to say, "Well, I understand you, don't I?"

Ding——the unit door opened.

“If I want to resign, when can I start working again?”

"After I send you the offer, you can go for a pre-employment physical examination and start working at any time. But it's best to start at the beginning of the month so that you can renew your social security. I'll let HR discuss salary and other details with you. If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell me at any time and I will coordinate. Don't just quit."

"Got it. I'm at ease with you doing the job."

After saying this, Han Li had one more thing to say.

"By the way, let me give you another progress report. Your contract termination talks went relatively smoothly, and I expect there will be a result in the next two weeks."

Jiang Baige understood: "Are you here to urge the new article?"

"I won't rush you. After you sign the Blue, the editor will rush you." Han Li said confidently, "Although I have never doubted your strong creative energy, I also know that you creative people are not good at delaying the manuscript."

"Then don't worry, my new article is already prepared."

"Oh? What's the subject?"

Jiang Baige chuckled and uttered two words: "Cyberbullying."
