Chapter 35

The screenwriter of "Swordsman" is surnamed Sun. Screenwriter Sun is the kind of person who can't write a single word when he stays quietly in the study. Only when he really contacts the actor who may become a character and communicates with him in depth can he write a reasonable story.

This is especially similar to Likert.Likert always feels that stories are written by people, and sometimes filming has begun, and the script is still being revised.

"Swordsman" tells the story of an assassin who traded his life for his life in the Warring States Period. From the assassin's childhood to his death, the background is grand and magnificent.

Screenwriter Sun has a background in literature. She is highly educated and articulate. Few people can quarrel with her.It may be that the high place is too cold. Screenwriter Sun often visits various places, finds people to quarrel, that is, argues with people about the plot, and has to convince people.

Her scripts are majestic, with a grand and spacious background, but also a kind of tenderness and delicacy unique to women. The descriptions of love and human nature in her works always touch people's hearts.

She is willing to chat with anyone she can talk to, including Qiao Qiu.

On this day, Qiao Qiu and his agent visited Director Yao.

Yao Qing is about the same age as Screenwriter Sun, in his 40s, which is the most glorious moment in his working life.Listening to those rumors, it is said that Yao Qing's character is not good and he does his own way, but he is very rich.

Qiao Qiu and Zhao Hong visited Yao Qing's home for half an hour.There are countless rooms in Yao Qing's house, like a small museum, but only Yao Qing lives in it, and the rest don't even have nannies, but they raise a lot of large dogs.

Yao Qing is not married, but the starlets and young models raised outside can line up. Of course, this is his private life, and outsiders can't criticize it.

There were a lot of refreshments on the tea table in the living room, and the three gathered around to drink tea and talk.

Sun, the screenwriter of "Swordsman", got along with Qiao Qiu for a while, and praised and criticized him in front of Yao Qing: She just likes the kind of gentle and gentle person, but besides being gentle, Qiao Qiu is also very stubborn. I'm in a hurry, I'm sure of one thing and I don't repent, it's a little flawed.It's good to be an actor.

As for Yao Qing, he has worked with screenwriter Sun on many films and spent a long time together.His private life is chaotic, but his thinking is independent. It takes a long time to evaluate a person, and he will not have preconceived prejudices against people because of certain remarks.He never listened to other people's opinions about casting actors for movies.

Even so, when I saw Qiao Qiu, that clean, tall and thin boy, I couldn't help feeling fond of him.

"Before," Yao Qing touched the teacup, and said, "When I chose Ye Qing, I also thought he was suitable. You are all young. "Swordsman" has a male lead in a teenage scene, and the actors are too old, so it's not good."

Zhao Hong quickly said: "Yes, Qiao Qiu is only 20 years old this year, so there is a lot of room for plasticity. I still have to rely on the guidance of Director Yao."

For a movie with a big production and a famous director like "Swordsman", looking at the current hype, there is almost no need to worry about the box office, and it is just rushing to win awards.

It was rare for Yao Qing to express his intention to use a newcomer, Zhao Hong wished he could force Qiao Qiu into the crew and sign the contract quickly.

But he knew that this had to be done slowly.Ye Qing, who was kicked out of the crew by Yao Qing, actually signed the contract, but it still fell short before the filming started.

Yao Qing looked at Qiao Qiu casually, stroked the beard under his cheek with his right hand, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.He said, "I haven't seen your work before... President Qian mentioned you to me. Are you an artist from Li Shang?"

Qiao Qiu was a little nervous, because this Yao Qing seemed too serious. He stretched the collar of his shirt and replied, "Yes... yes."

Still stuttering.Qiao Qiu frowned secretly.

Yao Qing asked: "Are you and... Mr. Qian related?"

Zhao Hong understood.This Yao Qing didn't know Qiao Qiu at all, and he was willing to meet him because of Qian Yuyan and Li Shang's face, but the signing of the contract was out of the question.

In addition to whether it is suitable or not, Yao Qing still cares about connections.If Qiao Qiu's background is really that tough, it's okay to save face.

Qiao Qiu shook his head with clear eyes.

"Where is Li Shang?" Yao Qing asked.

"..." Qiao Qiu thought for a while and said, "Not relatives. But my brother... er, it's nothing."

When Yao Qing heard this, he was not interested anymore. He said 'oh', and quickly changed the subject, praising Qiao Qiu: "Director Xu Jiao and I are old acquaintances. I heard that she appreciates you very much."

Zhao Hong's heart sank at first, but now he heaved a sigh of relief.Yao Qing's attitude of not being close, not looking down, and being impartial is the best.

Let's just see how Qiao Qiu handles it.

Qiao Qiu replied: "I am also very... thankful to Director Xu. She taught me a lot."

Yao Qing nodded: "For example?"

"For example...just acting."

"What is 'just' acting?"

Qiao Qiu was a little confused, he just said it casually, but it seemed a bit impolite not to answer, so he had to answer obediently: "Those things about acting."

"I'm asking, what are the things?" Yao Qing said, "Don't tell me empty things, give me a few specific examples."

Qiao Qiu frowned, thinking, the room was very quiet for a moment.Seeing Qiao Qiu like this, Zhao Hong immediately changed the subject without a trace.

Seeing that Qiao Qiu didn't speak, Yao Qing turned to discuss other matters with Zhao Hong.He didn't seem to force it, but he felt that Qiao Qiu didn't know how to flatter him.

When Zhao Hong was about to leave Yao Qing's house that day, Qiao Qiu said to Yao Qing alone when Zhao Hong went to the garage to pick up the car: "Director... Actually, I think acting is a whole. You suddenly asked me to give a specific example, I think not come out."

"Really?" Yao Qing replied lukewarmly.

"Yes," Qiao Qiu said earnestly, "Study a little today and a little tomorrow, I can only say that what I studied is 'acting'. For example, I said that I got good grades in math, but I can't answer 'My linear algebra, higher order functions have improved'."

Yao Qing listened to Qiao Qiu's stupid answer, turned his gaze back to Qiao Qiu from the bushes nearby, and replied, "You can, you just said it."

Qiao Qiu lowered his head, blushed a little, and said, "But I don't know what to say about 'performance'."

"You're not a major, are you?"

"……Um."

Yao Qing looked at Qiao Qiu's ears that were so red that they were almost transparent, and asked, "How old are you this year?"

Just now Zhao Hong told him how old Qiao Qiu was, but Yao Qing obviously didn't care.

"Twenty."

Yao Qing nodded, and asked again: "Have you read the script?"

"I've seen it." Qiao Qiu answered honestly.

"Editor Sun told me," Yao Qing said, "you don't like her script?"

Yao Qing deliberately exaggerated, but as expected, seeing Qiao Qiu's vivid rebuttal expression, Qiao Qiu opened his eyes wide and denied: "No, it's not."

"..."

"I...I like it very much. It's a good script, with a huge background and very touching."

"But Editor Sun said that you were not moved."

Qiao Qiu hesitated for a moment, then replied, "...Someone was moved."

"where?"

"..." Qiao Qiu frowned, not knowing how to answer.

"Let me tell you my opinion." Yao Qing raised his head and looked into Qiao Qiu's eyes, "I have always liked Editor Sun's description of human nature. Whether it is love, family affection, or friendship, the moving ones are moving, while the cruel ones The place is very cruel. Have you read the script of "Swordsman", don't you feel this way?"

"I..." Joe begged for a while at a loss for words.He knew it was not a difficult question.Yao Qing is always tolerant and understanding towards newcomers.On the one hand, a young and vigorous body is always exciting, on the other hand, he is temporarily unclear about Qiao Qiu's 'background'.Therefore, no matter what Qiao Qiu said, Yao Qing would not reprimand him.

Screenwriter Sun also talked to Qiao Qiu about this issue.Facing screenwriter Sun, Qiao Qiu would express his opinion if he was irritated, but facing Yao Qing, Qiao Qiu couldn't say a word.

The feeling Yao Qing gave... To be honest, Qiao Qiu really didn't like her.

That kind of calm, keen insight, deep observation, and occasional contempt made Qiao Qiu dare not do whatever he wanted, and his hands and feet seemed to be tied.

The garage is not far from Yao Qing's villa.It's just that Zhao Hong saw that Qiao Qiu and Yao Qing seemed to be talking, so he deliberately didn't come forward.

Qiao Qiu was a little shy, so he didn't say much today.He thought he should give Qiao Qiu more time.

On the other side, Qiao Qiu's hands were shaking, and he was silent for a long time, so long that he thought Yao Qing's eyes had seen a hole in him.

He endured Yao Qing's scrutinizing gaze, and finally said slowly:

"I can't feel it. I don't know the relationship between Nie Yun and his mother, nor can I understand the relationship between him and his sister. I..."

Qiao Qiu blushed and said, "I don't think it should be like this."

Yao Qing looked at Qiao Qiu thoughtfully. After a while, he stepped forward and patted Qiao Qiu on the shoulder, saying, "Your manager is here to pick you up. Goodbye, Qiao Qiu."

Both Zhao Hong and Qiao Qiu felt that the meeting was messed up.Especially Qiao Qiu, he was in a bad mood all day.

In the workplace, the shyness and innocence shown by Qiao Qiu will actually be looked down upon by people.

The result seemed to be a mess, because after that, Yao Qing never contacted Qiao Qiu again, and the tone he revealed was also very unfavorable to him.

Then let Qian Yuyan know that according to her past personality, she would definitely scold Qiao Qiu for being useless, and she would be furious.

But in fact she wasn't angry at all, instead she persuaded:

"It's okay, it's okay. Director Yao is like this, he's very strict. You're still young, so don't worry about it."

Hearing that, Qiao Qiu was even more depressed, feeling that he was causing trouble to others.But depression is depression, and Qiao Qiu is not too disappointed.Yao Qing's reputation is too great, and it is enviable to be able to cooperate with him, even in a small supporting role.Why did he, Qiao Qiu, suddenly become someone else's leading actor?Qiao Qiu didn't have any representative works, and he only won one award in his hand, so he was really young.

Before Qiao Qiu could be depressed for a while, another person came to the door. Assistant Song approached Qiao Qiu's ear and said a few words to him. Qiao Qiu picked up his coat and went downstairs to the coffee shop.

When Qiao Qiu pushed open the door of the coffee shop, a slightly obese man stood up and waved at him comically, "Qiao Qiu! Come quickly."

Qiao Qiu couldn't help laughing, and said:

"Why have you gained so much weight..."

That man was Richter.

After hearing this, Likert was furious and asked, "Am I fat?"

"Ah."

"..." He slapped Qiao Qiu on the back and complained, "Stinky boy, he can poke people's feet."

Qiao Qiu stopped joking and asked, "Why did you come to me?"

"I'll come and see you." Likert looked at Qiao Qiu with that loving gaze unique to elders, and said for a while, "...I heard that Yao Qing didn't sign you?"

"..." Qiao Qiuxin thought that Likert knew about it, and nodded awkwardly, "Yes."

Likert smiled and said, "That's great. Qiao Qiu, would you like to make a movie with me?"

Qiao Qiu lowered his eyes: "I...I can't act well."

"what's wrong?"

"...Director Yao doesn't even like me." Qiao Qiu tugged at his clothes and said, "I might not be good at acting in movies."

"You can't act well, and you are also the leading actor in my movie." Likert said, "What's more, you act well."

Qiao Qiu's eyes slowly lit up.

With his head down, he took a sip of his drink, his voice trembling, and he let out an 'hmm'.
