MTL - The Actress is My Favorite-Chapter 8

It was a young man who came to Xia's house to visit.

In his twenties, with messy hair, wearing round-frame glasses, wearing a wrinkled plaid shirt, holding a messy stack of paper documents.

Xia Shutong still doesn't remember this person, but Qian Lingling reminded him that his name is Dai Su, and he is a new director.

Xia Shutong just saw this introduction in the information.

The business scope of Wutong Pictures covers TV dramas, variety shows, trainees, etc. As for movies, it has only invested in a few movies, and does not have any movie copyrights.

Before Xia Shutong lost her memory, she was planning to let Wutong step into the film industry.

The company has two plans, the first is to purchase a large number of film copyrights, and the second is to rely on the company's resources to try to make films.

If Wutong successfully entered the film industry and gained a firm foothold, there would be no company in the entire industry that could compete with it.

Therefore, Xia Shutong, before amnesia, attached great importance to this, especially for the first self-produced film. He did everything by himself, acting as a producer, personally selecting scripts, directors, and even interviewing actors afterward.

Dai Su was the director chosen by Xia Shutong.

Dai Su has only graduated two years ago, but his talent in the field of directing has already appeared. He won numerous awards when he was in school. As long as he waits for a bigger stage, he will definitely be able to show his ambitions.

Xia Shutong has seen some of his works, no matter the narration, mirroring, or picture are all excellent, it can't be seen that they are from the hands of newcomers.

Moreover, Dai Su's personal style is extremely obvious. His works, even short five-minute stories, are extremely contagious, and every pause and turn can properly arouse the audience's emotions.

What he lacks is a broad stage to display his talents, and Wutong Pictures can just provide him with this opportunity.

I don't know where the self before amnesia dug up this precious jade.

Xia Shutong and Dai Su had already talked about it before, and they decided to sign the contract today. As a result, Dai Su heard that Xia Shutong had just been discharged from the hospital and was recuperating at home. After delaying the signing of the contract, Dai Su chased her directly from the company to her home.

At this time, Dai Su was sitting on the side of the sofa, holding a stack of documents and sending them in Xia Shutong's direction, with frenzied eyes:

"Mr. Xia, do you want to read the script of "Chasing the Light" again? And here is the storyboard. If you don't understand something, just point it out and I will explain it to you. I also made notes on the script... "

As if afraid of Xia Shutong's repentance, Dai Su kept talking non-stop, and the hope in his voice almost overflowed.

Dai Su was so obvious that Xia Shutong, who had lost his memory, could tell that he was afraid that she would go back on his word.

Xia Shutong couldn't help feeling helpless.

Even if she gets bad reviews in the industry, she won't break promises at work and break contracts at will, right?

This Director Dai doesn't look very smart Yazi.

Xia Shutong stabilized the character, put his hand on his forehead, and leaned back slightly: "Director Dai, you are a bit noisy."

The eyes are full of arrogance and impatience, and there is a trace of sleepiness.

She was reminding Dai Su that she had just been discharged from the hospital, and now her brain still hurts, so she couldn't listen to his long speeches.

However, Dai Su was only stunned for a second, and then immediately continued: "Mr. Xia, do you want to see my previous works? "Chasing the Light" is the first screen movie I made, but my previous works are not as good as that." No, Mr. Xia, look..."

Xia Shutong: "..."

Dai Su's EQ is probably really not that good.

Just when Xia Shutong couldn't bear to lean over to listen to Dai Su's words, Qian Lingling took out the contract from her bag in good time and sent it between the two of them.

"Director Dai, Mr. Xia just came out of the hospital. He is not in good health. I hope you can keep your voice down. Please read the contract. If there is no problem, we will sign it directly."

"Okay, okay, thank you Mr. Xia." When Dai Su picked up the pen, his hands shook for a moment with excitement.

It wasn't until the two parties signed that Dai Su finally belatedly said polite words: "President Xia just came out of the hospital? Are you sick?"

Xia Shutong raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Everyone from Dai Su chased her home, but they didn't even know about her car accident.

Looking at Dai Su's unshaven face and a pair of shining eyes, Xia Shutong couldn't help but think, maybe Dai Su is the kind of fanatical idealist who devotes himself to studying art and doesn't care about reality?

This kind of people can often reach the pinnacle in their favorite field, but because they are too focused on their dreams and lack of life and social common sense, they often hit the wall in real life.

It is true that they are Maxima, but they also need Bole who can see them.

Probably... the self before amnesia was that Bole.

Xia Shutong picked up the water in front of him, took a sip, and said calmly, "There was a small car accident a few days ago."

It's not a secret that she got into a car accident, so there's no need to hide it from Dai Su.

Xia Shutong originally thought that Dai Su would at most be a few perfunctory polite words, but what she didn't expect was that as soon as she finished speaking, Dai Su's pupils widened a little, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Xia Shutong: "?"

Dai Su's eyes were full of panic, and then, his eye sockets turned red, and bloodshot eyes also appeared in his eyes.

It looked kind of scary.

Qian Lingling immediately stood in front of Xia Shutong.

But soon, Dai Su shook his head, stood up very solemnly, and bowed to Xia Shutong.

"I'm the one who disturbed Mr. Xia today. I'm sorry. We'll talk about casting and filming in the future. Mr. Xia takes good care of his health."

After speaking, Dai Su's voice was a little trembling, "Thank you, Mr. Xia, for giving me the opportunity to cooperate. "Follow the Light" will definitely hit the big screen and become popular all over the country. Thank you for your attention to its potential."

As soon as Dai Su left, Qian Lingling crossed her arms and sighed: "What, doesn't he speak human language?"

Xia Shutong frowned slightly, picked up the script of "Chasing the Light" and said, "Let me read the script, Xiaoqian, please collect some information about Dai Su's life and send it to me..."

Xia Shutong glanced at the cover of the script, and suddenly changed her words: "No, go check the screenwriter's information."

When Dai Suhong thanked her with eyes just now, Xia Shutong felt a strong, deep, fanatical feeling that was almost pious.

That kind of emotion resonated with Xia Shutong, as if something had been awakened in the depths of her soul, she trembled violently.

She faintly felt...that was an incomparably deep love.

to the movie? to art? Or to someone?

Xia Shutong couldn't figure it out.

She shook her head, dispelled the messy thoughts in her mind, and opened the script.

"Chasing the Light" is a heroine movie, which tells the story of Du Yuan, a girl who is extremely socially phobic and unable to communicate normally with others. She shines on the road of writing and finally breaks through the world.

The main line of the story is very simple, that is Du Xian's growth trajectory. But in the screenwriter's pen, Du Xian's image is so vivid that it may jump out of the paper at any time.

This seemingly simple story is even more exciting, and every word and stroke reveals a powerful appeal.

The writing style of "Chasing the Light" is graceful and delicate, obviously written by a woman. Even through the words, Xia Shutong seemed to be able to see the girl with a smile on her lips, clear brows, and hot spots in her eyes, and could imagine her demeanor when she wrote.

After reading it, Xia Shutong had only one thought in his mind: his vision before amnesia was too vicious.

With this story, coupled with a director like Dai Su, the movie produced will definitely not be bad. If there are no mistakes in the casting of the actors, they will definitely have a place in the Golden Osmanthus Festival, and even go abroad and go to international film festivals...

Of course, these are things that need to be considered later.

"Mr. Xia, the screenwriter's identity has been found." Qian Lingling handed over the tablet, "This screenwriter Li...she is Dai Su's girlfriend and died in a car accident half a year ago."

Girlfriend died in a car accident.

Xia Shutong's hands trembled inexplicably.

She understood why Dai Su's deep and passionate love came from.

That was his love for his late girlfriend.

"Chasing the Light" is the painstaking effort of his girlfriend, as well as his lifelong dream and pursuit.

Xia Shutong's heart was full of emotions for a moment, she sighed a long time, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head.

She was not moved by Dai Su's love for his girlfriend, but resonated with his feelings.

It was as if she had loved someone so devoutly.

That person... is a mole on the tip of her heart, a ray of light shining in front of her window in the dark, and a lark singing on her shoulder in loneliness.

It is the existence that she will protect even at the expense of giving up everything, overcoming obstacles, and even giving up her life.

But she can't remember.

She couldn't think of anything.

"Little Qian, I'm a little tired, go back to my room and have a rest."

Xia Shutong forced herself to walk back to the room, closed the door, and then staggered.

She squatted down slowly against the door, cupped her hands in front of her face, and wept silently.

…

Xia Shutong fell into a drowsy sleep until noon. When she woke up, her mind was empty and she felt extremely uncomfortable, but she couldn't explain the reason.

These days, she naturally recalled many things, such as various common sense of life, such as company management matters, such as the location and layout of the apartment she lived in.

But for the part that she couldn't remember, no matter how hard she tried to recall it, it was useless, and her head would only hurt more.

It hurts to tears.

Xia Shutong didn't like this feeling of emptiness, so in the next few days, she immersed herself in all kinds of materials, not letting herself have a moment of free time.

In addition to paying attention to the company's situation, Xia Shutong is also paying attention to various news and trends in the industry, preparing for returning to the company.

In the middle of the night, when Xia Shutong was looking drowsy, a name suddenly attracted his attention.

"Huh..." Xia Shutong murmured unconsciously, "Yun Feiwu...is her contract with the company about to expire?"

Qian Lingling, who was working hard at the side, heard this and nodded, "Yes, Mr. Xia, Yun Feiwu's company, Xinghui, is just a small workshop. She doesn't need anything, and she will most likely choose to terminate the contract and go to another company." .”

Xia Shutong checked it immediately, and found that Xinghui's scale is indeed very small. Even the big boss Zhou Hanchi started from scratch and has no background.

However, such a small workshop has cultivated the national goddess Yun Feiwu and another top-notch actor Ouyang Chao. The luck is too good.

If Xia Shutong took a closer look at this time, he would find that the resources of Yun Feiwu and Ouyang Chao were not at the same level at all.

A layman can't see anything, but people in the industry can find out at a glance that Yun Feiwu's many resources are by no means what a small workshop like Xinghui can produce.

But Xia Shutong just yawned and exited the page, and asked casually, "Which company is Yun Feiwu planning to go to?"

"I don't know yet."

Qian Lingling joked with a smile: "But if Wutong can sign her, our company's development into the film industry will be settled."
