Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

Yao Jicui likes this script very much. The role of mother Li Na in it also has a lot of room for her to perform. For a middle-aged actress, if she plays it well, it will definitely be a good role to win awards.

However, she still had some doubts about Gao You's directing ability.

She knew that Gao You won the Golden Director Award for Short Film, which was very impressive.

But directing a feature film is different from directing a short film.

She wanted to act in this film, and she also didn’t want to miss out on the big-budget TV series that would follow.

The following TV series is CCTV's annual blockbuster, which is an opportunity to show my face across the country.

Unless the final product of Gao You's film is amazing, wins awards, and is shown internationally, it may be difficult for it to even get a chance to be screened nationwide.

If Gao You can accommodate her schedule, she would be very willing to perform.

"Teacher Yao, one and a half months is really not enough. We plan to go to the Hope Factory for another month of shooting." Gao You told Yao Jicui about her shooting plan.

After finishing the filming in Beijing, we have to go back to the provincial capital Hope Factory for filming. The time given by Yao Jicui is too tight.

This is her first feature film, so she will definitely work hard on it.

It was not her original intention to finish the shoot in a hurry.

"But I really can't get out of the crew behind. I heard that the director doesn't even give actors leave." Yao Jicui was also in a difficult situation.

If there is really no other choice, she can only give up the film Gao You.

Instead of trying to reach the level of a new director, it is better to be content to make films directed by big budgets and big directors.

"Then wait until I get out of the crew and then complete the rest of the filming, okay?" Yao Jicui offered a different plan.

"But your crew will need at least five months to shoot." Teacher Mo frowned.

This is just a low-budget film, they can't afford to wait for several months.

In the end, the three of them were unable to reach a complete discussion.

The next day, Yao Jicui called again and decided to cancel the photo shoot.

After all, she didn't want to keep people hanging and delay their selection of other actors.

Gao You was still able to keep his composure. As long as this kind of thing didn't happen after the filming started, it would be fine.

However, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Zhao Qing called me on his own initiative.

Said she wanted to act in this play.

"Are your eyes okay? This is not a joke." Teacher Mo asked her seriously.

"It should be fine in another half a month. There's nothing serious in the first place. Zhu Kai is worrying about nothing." Zhao Qing smiled and comforted his old friend.

"When do you plan to start filming?" Zhao Qing asked.

"Actually, it hasn't been decided yet. Xiao Gao said she wanted to finish filming most of the content during the summer vacation." Teacher Mo said.

This is a low-budget film, and the main purpose is to save money, time, and manpower.

"Then I'll cover you, okay? If you really can't find anyone, I'll do it." Zhao Qing is very loyal.

"Okay, okay, okay. We feel relieved when you say that. Just focus on taking care of your eyes." Teacher Mo said with a smile.

Teacher Mo told Gao You what Zhao Qing said.

"Okay, let's take it slow. Let's polish the script a little more." Gao You also thought this was a good idea.

She was very confident in Zhao Qing's acting skills.

Therefore, Gao You suspended the preparations for filming, continued to polish the script, and continued to work on her art park.

She still has to continue writing her novel.

It would be even better if those students could really develop a Chinese input method.

As June approached, Liu Yue'e called Gao You from time to time to talk about opening a store.

Gao You noticed that the word Liu Yue'e mentioned most frequently was rain, heavy rain and rainstorms, which had been raining intermittently since May.

This has a significant impact on their business.

We used to sell four to five hundred roujiamo every day, but now because it rains every day, the number has dropped to three to four hundred.

Liu Yue'e really lost her temper with this horrible weather.

"Did it rain like this in previous years?" Gao You asked her.

"It has never been this severe, and it has never lasted this long, in previous years. I called your second aunt and the others back home, and they said the water level by the river has risen a lot. I'm really afraid that if it continues like this, this year's harvest will be ruined. God is so cruel!" Liu Yue'e kept muttering about the news she had heard.

Flood in 1991!

Gao You couldn't help but be shocked.

Gao You thought that the world in this book was basically fictional. Except for some major events that were basically the same as her original world, everything else was fictional.

Unexpectedly, some historical disasters could not be avoided.

She seemed to remember that in addition to the flood in 1998, the flood in 1991 was also very serious.

And it looks like it’s about to happen in her hometown.

"Mom, I'm listening to the news. There might be a flood in the near future. Please ask Second Aunt and the others to be careful and make some preparations. Ask them to put all the food on the second floor." Gao You couldn't help but remind Liu Yue'e.

"No way. There hasn't been a flood in many years. We can't be so unlucky." Liu Yue'e felt a little nervous after hearing what Gao You said.

"It's better to be careful. Our Xiahe Village is so close to the river, and the terrain is not particularly high." Gao You thought about the terrain of his hometown and felt that it was really dangerous.

"I see. Fortunately, your second aunt and third aunt's families have built two-story brick houses, otherwise, we really would have no place to store the food." Liu Yue'e was still very convinced by Gao You's words.

"The same goes for your store. It's best to store spare ingredients in the attic or on the second floor. Also keep some daily necessities and medicines on hand." Gao You reminded Liu Yue'e.

"Okay, got it. I'll tell Meijiao and the others later." Liu Yue'e was very unsure.

She hung up the phone and called the village committee in her hometown.

After Gao You hung up the phone, he called Leader Lu again. Director Lu has now been officially promoted to deputy county magistrate.

Gao You reminded her of this.

Although a disaster may not necessarily happen, when a real disaster strikes, the disaster resistance capacity of a small place like Yuanheng County is really very small.

"I am also concerned about the rainfall in various towns every day." Leader Lu said in a serious tone.

Some low-lying villages and towns have already experienced waterlogging and flooding of fields.

She has organized the local people and actively launched self-rescue.

Gao You's call undoubtedly shattered her last bit of fantasy.

Even students studying abroad have noticed it.

This time, the situation is very serious.

Gao You hung up the phone and called Li Xiyan again to ask her about the current situation in the provincial capital. Li Xiyan might know more than Liu Yue'e.

Li Xiyan just came back from the factory.

She was mentally prepared for the abnormal weather during this period, so both the company and the factory asked the departments below to do some preventive work.

"Sister, I have a bad feeling. I think you can buy some food, life jackets, assault boats, and sandbags from other provinces and get ready." Gao You reminded Li Xiyan.

"I've asked someone to buy some. I'm just worried it won't be enough." There was some fatigue in Li Xiyan's voice.

She also asked Song Chengwang about the situation.

The response from Song Chengwang was not optimistic either.
