When Careeraholic Meets Workaholic

Choosing a date is worse than hitting a date. After the two signed the contract, Jin Yi contacted the director she mentioned earlier.

Sitting in the co-driver and rushing to the meeting place, Jin Yi said: "What can you say about Director Mei? I have watched both of his plays, and he has a perfect grasp of color. Give him a scarf, and he can shoot It’s an extremely beautiful shot. But the shortcomings are also obvious. His exploration of human nature is a bit shallow, and your story involves a lot of human nature issues. You should have a good chat about this later, don’t look down on me Reluctantly, reluctantly, there is no good result."

Zhou Yao was amused.

Said: "The director only accounts for four points, the screenwriter accounts for three points, and the remaining three points are the work itself. The screenwriter and the original work are both me, plus the identity of the producer. It counts."

Jin Yi raised her eyebrows: "This studio has just been established, and you will have the aura of a domineering boss, okay!"

Zhou Yao smiled and drove, and arrived at a cake shop in a blink of an eye.

It was the first time for Zhou Yao to talk about things in the cake shop.

The location was chosen by Director Mei, because on the phone, he said that he hadn't had lunch, and he wanted to eat desserts from the cake shop two blocks away.

There are tables in the cake shop, there are no people at two o'clock in the afternoon, and a thin man wearing glasses is sitting in the corner.

Director Mei, Mei Guangxuan, 33 years old, from a well-to-do family, graduated from the directing department of a prestigious school, and his graduation work won the gold award of the "National Emerging Short Drama" of the year. After that, he made two works, but unfortunately he failed to continue his glory. Working as an assistant director in a film crew, he left angrily after hearing that he had a disagreement with the director, and is now living at home.

At the moment, there were three boxes of cakes with six flavors on the round table in front of Mei Guangxuan, and they were all heavy in syrup and cream, but he ate them with relish, sipping sugar and coffee.Seeing the two people appear, he wiped his hands with paper, took Zhou Yao's hand, and said, "Hello, Producer Zhou."

Zhou Yao has many identities now, and Mei Guangxuan also knows that Zhou Yao is probably the most famous, so he chose this title for Zhou Yao.Zhou Yao greeted with a smile, "Hello, Director Mei."

The three of them sat down, Jin Yi was next to Zhou Yao, her identity and position were very clear, Mei Guangxuan sat opposite and remained silent, after thinking about it, she picked up a donut with strawberry-flavored icing and ate a mouthful, without saying a word.

Jin Yi asked him, "Have you read the script?"

Mei Guangxuan nodded.

"Are you interested?"

nod.

"Can you take a picture?"

Hesitating, nodding uncertainly.

"Let's hear what you think. Mr. Zhou is the producer, screenwriter, and author of the original text. He has a deep grasp of this drama."

Mei Guangxuan was chewing on the donut, and looked at Zhou Yao with a frown. Just when Zhou Yao thought he could talk after swallowing the food in his mouth, who knew he took another bite, his cheeks bulging.

Finally, he understood what Jin Yi meant by "difficult to communicate".

How do you communicate with actors like this?How to shoot?

Zhou Yao looked at Jin Yi.

Jin Yi sighed: "Isn't there nothing to do recently? Although we are a new company, and the future of Internet dramas is not clear, but the script is still very good, you... If you really want to make a film, be proactive Let’s put it this way, society is not a university, if you don’t take the initiative to fight for it, can you really enjoy yourself and wait for the pie to fall from the sky?”

With this tone, it can be heard that Jin Yi and Mei Guangxuan are by no means "unfamiliar" with each other.

Mei Guangxuan slowly put down the pink donut in his hand, and said: "I... don't know how to say it. I have never filmed this type of drama, and I am afraid of delaying you. The script is good, but there are too many things hidden in it. Something that will make people discuss, I..."

Zhou Yao said: "I have watched your drama, I like your color control and storytelling technique, it is like a painting and a poem, it is very beautiful. And the so-called human nature can be hidden in the lines, you are only responsible for the thick and colorful, I'm in charge of exploring the heart."

Mei Guangxuan lowered his eyes and said nothing.

After bidding farewell to Mei Guangxuan, on the way to the parking lot, Jin Yi asked Zhou Yao if he needed to contact another director.

Zhou Yao shook his head and asked Jin Yi to contact Mei Guangxuan again.

Jin Yi didn't understand, and Zhou Yao didn't explain.He has too much control over his own works, and he has placed too many high hopes, so he can't tolerate a powerful director who dictates his scripts to revise and revise his scripts, but Mei Guangxuan's unconfident appearance fits his style. He wanted a director who could listen to him.

So Jin Yi walked away with her mobile phone, came back 10 minutes later, and said with a hearty smile: "It's done, Director Mei will come to the studio the day after tomorrow to sign a contract. Our grass-roots team can be regarded as pulling together. Next, I will send out auditions to various brokerage companies." Announced."

"it is good."

Zhou Yao nodded, and when he turned and opened the car door, he glanced at the sky. The blue sky seemed to be washed by water, and the sun was shining brightly.

It has been more than a month since I came back from rebirth, and I have embarked on a completely different path from my previous life, and there is no chance to turn back.

The screenwriter, studio manager, and director, he finalized everything by himself, and he will continue to pay attention to future costumes, sets, and post-production, not to mention the casting of actors. If he disagrees, it's useless.

He is not afraid of trouble and hard work, and he doesn't mind others saying that he is strong, because in this battle, he must be a hit!

After signing the contract with Mei Guangxuan, there are not so many things left. Jin Yi has his own team, and he can just call it back. Zhou Yao even has time to write an article when he is free, and plans to save a hundred chapters for publication.

As the audition date approached, He Yu finally calmed down, and everything went smoothly and orderly. Just when Zhou Yao felt that he seemed to have forgotten something, a phone call came in, and he finally remembered what he forgot. .

Diao asked him to drink.

This guy loves drinking and drinking, and at a young age, he can only dream of life and death, and sooner or later he will die of liver cirrhosis.

Zhou Yao is not interested in the noisy night scene, but he really intends to repair the relationship with Diao Dian. There may be many people who are flashy in the world, and there may be many people who are affectionate and righteous, but the only one who is willing to give charcoal to Zhou Yao is this inconspicuous Diao Dian.

Moreover, Diao Dian was concerned about his preferences, and chose a high-end club with an elegant environment, so it's okay to have fun in it.

After hanging up the phone and writing the last thousand words, Zhou Yao took off his glasses and got up to go to the bathroom. When he took off his clothes and passed the mirror, he frowned dissatisfiedly when he saw the slightly thin figure in the mirror.

He is 1.8 meters [-] tall. In fact, he has a big frame, but he is very thin because of the long-term upside-down life. After getting acquainted with Jin Yi, she mentioned more than once that he is like a noble son, calm and dignified, but Zhou Yao doesn't want to be noble. Young master, in this life he wants to be a warrior, a strong man who goes forward for his family!

Only a good body can have more energy and be able to carry the heavy burden firmly when the pressure comes, so it is time to arrange some fitness.

After taking a shower, I changed into my clothes and went out. After leaving the air-conditioned environment, the heat wave hit my face in an instant. It was the midsummer season, and the body that had just showered was sweating instantly.

The air-conditioning in the car was fully turned on, and we drove towards the clubhouse, passing by Tianda Square, and was blocked by a red light again, Zhou Yao casually took a look, the stage in the middle of the square had changed its appearance, this time dancing under the spotlight was Beautiful women in hot clothes.

There are too many brokerage companies in this city, signing countless boys and girls with dreams, thinking that they will become famous and make a fortune. However, the cruel reality begins at this time. Perhaps it will not be long before they will know that they are just under the throne. Stepping stones.

Just like Mei Guangxuan, who came from a wealthy family, became famous at a young age, and was able to direct TV dramas as soon as he graduated. There are not many old people in the industry who have such treatment, but the result... self-confidence was hit, and he questioned himself, and even the courage to be a director. All gone.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yao suddenly laughed.

It is probably because he has experienced too much in his previous life, and he will always have some thoughts inexplicably. Fortunately, these thoughts are neutral, and there is no lack of positive energy to guide him, so that he always strides forward full of energy.

I'm so glad I'm not sick yet.

After driving more than half of the city to the outskirts of the city, he finally arrived at the clubhouse he had made an appointment with Diao Dian.

"Accord Clubhouse".

Zhou Yao knew something in his previous life. The boss was rich and powerful. He threatened to open the largest and best club in the country at the beginning of the establishment. He did not break his promise. Good service is also the most expensive service, especially the intricate and complicated personal connections. Countless businessmen and elites are desperate to become members.

Zhou Yao's family is still very wealthy now, so they are naturally eligible to become members. Diao Dian's family made their fortune earlier, and they are still in business. In the rich circle, real estate is rich, and industrial families are well-established businessmen.

Zhou Yao rarely came, and the receptionist at the door couldn't recognize him, and he was wearing comfortable casual clothes, so he respectfully asked him to show his membership card.Zhou Yao found it troublesome and said, "I was invited by Diao Dian."

The receptionist knew Diao Dian, and said with a smile on his face: "You are Mr. Zhou, this way please."

Zhou Yao is not a very sensitive personality, but at this moment, he felt the change in the reception's eyes, which seemed to be a little more scrutiny and disdain.

Diao Dian never hides his vigor and vigor of drinking and drinking. If the people he invites are not members, it can only show that their status is ordinary.

But it seemed that there was no need for any special explanation. Zhou Yao followed the receptionist in the clubhouse expressionlessly, and finally came to the private room on the third floor.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The receptionist opened the door and shouted respectfully, "Diao Sheng, Mr. Zhou is here."

Zhou Yao was a little surprised by the environment in the room. When he was observing, Diao Dian rushed over and hugged him: "Yao'er, ouch, I finally asked you out, brother, do you know how much you have? It's hard to make an appointment, if I'm not fully prepared, I wouldn't dare to call you."

"If it's this place, I can still come, but next time you want to talk, you can go to my house."

"What fun is there in your house? This place can at least open your mouth for entertainment. Okay, I know you must be impatient with my games. Let's just listen to songs and chat today, okay?" After a pause, he stopped Zheng The receptionist, who was about to close the door and leave, said, "Who are the guests performing today, tell us Brother Yao."

The receptionist heard the different attitudes of Diao Dian's words, and his expression had already been sorted out. He said respectfully: "Today's guests are less Chinese, and there will be a performance by HD dance troupe in the middle."

Zhou Yao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Diao smiled: "I remember that you used to love to listen to songs with less Chinese, and you bought a lot of tapes to go home. Today we will listen to the scene. If you want to chat with your childhood idol face to face, how about it? My arrangement Still satisfied?"

Zhou Yao smiled: "I have a heart."

The receptionist heard Diao Dian's cautiousness inside and out, and raised his level of Zhou Yao's status. When he left, he said respectfully: "Diao Sheng, Zhou Sheng, if you have any requirements, please tell us. We are at the door. Waiting for your summons at any time."

There is absolutely no contempt in saying this.

The door was closed, and Diao Dian invited Zhou Yao to sit on the sofa. Two meters away, there was a large floor-to-ceiling window. You could directly see the stage on the first floor. While drinking, you could watch star performances, and occasionally there would even be first-line stars on stage for commercial performances. , is a major selling point of this Accord clubhouse.

It was not yet time for Hua Wenshao to play, but there was already a dance troupe warming up the stage. Zhou Yao's eyes fell on the white stage costumes of the six men's troupe in the middle of the stage, and he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Familiar clothes, vaguely familiar music rhythm, and the dance moves, Zhou Yao's eyes naturally focused on the C position, and this time he finally saw the opponent's figure clearly.

Tall and thin, with a small head, he has a photogenic nine-headed body. His dance moves are coordinated and smooth, with a strong sense of rhythm, but the most eye-catching thing is his eyes. The line of sight stops on it.
