Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

The publishing house and the translator found an expert in this field in Beijing and worked together to translate the book.

Gao You has also almost finished writing the script "Factory Pianist".

She plans to make her next film about autism.

The current script tells the story of a mother who seeks a way to survive for her autistic daughter, and persists despite all the setbacks she encounters.

This script was also completed together with Lu Xue.

The two had a great understanding when they collaborated on the previous script.

This cooperation was also very smooth.

We started at the end of February and by May, the script was finally completed.

With the efforts of translators and autism experts, the "Guidelines" have also been translated and are currently being prepared for publication.

After the script was approved, Gao You began to prepare for filming.

The most difficult part at the moment is finding actors.

Gao You and Teacher Mo have already contacted some actors.

But when the script is handed over, either the other party is not available or the pay is too high.

The main reason is that the subject matter is too unpopular, and famous actresses may not be interested in this script.

Although Gao You is the winner of the Golden Director Award for Short Films, she is just a freshman.

A good short film does not necessarily mean a good feature film.

They went through all the actresses in the country who are currently between 35 and 50, famous and not so famous, and handed out quite a few scripts.

But the actor for the role of the mother has not been decided yet.

Previously, a very famous actress expressed her intention to play the role after reading the script.

But she suddenly received an invitation from a famous director in Hong Kong to play the leading female role there.

This is a very rare opportunity for mainland actresses nowadays.

After much hesitation, the actress turned down Gao You's script.

Originally, Zhao Qing and the others had also looked for it.

Unfortunately, Zhao Qing accidentally injured her eyes while filming her last play and is currently recuperating. Her husband Zhu Kai also does not agree with her taking on any more acting jobs in the near future.

There is also a very talented actress who is very interested in this script, but she can only give it a month and a half, after which she will join the crew of a big production.

If Gao You could cooperate with her, she would be willing to act in the film, and the salary she asked for was not too high.

"Why not choose Yao Jicui. She comes from art film background, has solid acting skills, has won awards, and has a certain fame." Teacher Mo discussed with Gao You.

"Then let's talk to Teacher Yao again." Gao You was still satisfied with Yao Jicui.

The time she gave was quite tight, only one and a half months.

As for the role of the daughter, Gao You decided to play it herself. First, at present, she has a certain understanding of autistic patients through participating in the translation of the book "Guide", which saves time and effort than looking for other young actors.

Second, it saves money.

Teacher Mo contacted Yao Jicui, and the three of them made an appointment to meet at the cafe in the glass factory.

After several months of operation, the glass factory and beverage factory have rented out a lot of space.

This place has gradually become lively. Many individuals and companies engaged in the art creation industry have unconsciously paid more attention to the glass factory, and many companies with a keen sense of smell have already negotiated the lease contract for the factory next door.

There are also many people who choose to open shops here.

For example, cafes, western restaurants, teahouses, bookstores, etc.

Under Gao You's planning, the glass factory is mainly dynamic, while the beverage factory is mainly static.

Studios that require a quiet creative environment are all arranged in beverage factories.

The glass factory is now more like an art park, with various handicraft workshops, art exhibits, as well as some photography studios, advertising companies, etc.

People come and go every day, it is no longer empty as before.

"I heard that the glass factory has been very busy recently, but I didn't expect it to be true." When Yao Jicui arrived at the cafe on her bicycle, she was shocked and overwhelmed by the sight.

She was filming in another place a few months ago and had no idea when such a gathering place with such a strong artistic atmosphere appeared in Beijing.

There are sculptures everywhere, artistic store sign designs, and various handicraft workshops and clothing stores.

She also saw a place called "BBK Computer Hall" with a long queue at the entrance, which was said to be a queue for people to go in and use the computers.

"That's right. Now all the college students in the city like to come here." Teacher Mo ordered a cup of coffee and chatted with Yao Jicui.

College students are the weather vane of fashion trends. Ever since the glass factory became famous among college students, it has gradually become a favorite place for them to hang out and play.

Young couples can go on dates here, and singles can also invite a few friends to visit the various art shops here.

Various movies are shown in the auditorium every day, and on weekends there are drama, opera and dance performances by drama troupes from various major schools.

And the tickets are not expensive, it is simply a dating paradise for students.

Basketball courts, table tennis courts, etc. are also students' favorites.

Just buy a drink and you can play for an hour for free.

In short, the glass factory has become the back garden outside the campuses of major universities.

There is everything for eating, drinking and having fun.

And you can also enjoy the influence of art.

Nowadays, even tourists from other places who come to Beijing for tourism will come here to take a look and buy some handmade artworks to take home as souvenirs.

"Teachers, sorry for the long wait." Gao You had just rushed over from the BBK Computer Library.

A development team consisting of several students from Tsinghua University developed a Chinese input method software.

Gao You received the news and rushed over.

Although its functions are not perfect yet, it is too simple compared with various input methods in later generations.

But this is a huge breakthrough!

Starting from zero to one is always the hardest.

Gao You, her team, and Lawyer Qin are still evaluating this input method.

If it can really be put on the market, it will make a lot of money.

"We just arrived too. You've done a great job here. After we finish chatting, I'd also like to take a good look around." Teacher Mo knew that this art park was built by Gao You alone.

And she made it very successful.

Some students from the school's photography department also rented space from her and set up a photography studio. When they don't have classes, they help others take photos and earn some living expenses.

A student from the directing department, he also set up an advertising company and took on various commercials.

Although the school does not encourage students to be too commercial, who can stop them from making money?

"Did you mess this up?" Yao Jicui looked at Gao You in surprise.

Is this something an average freshman can accomplish?

"Yes, I did it with my team." Gao You said after taking a sip of coffee.

"The young are to be feared!" Yao Jicui gave Gao You a thumbs up.

Next, a few people started talking about "Factory Pianist".
