Reborn as a little director

Xie Siqing looked at Chi Wenyue and felt that he still liked him.

It's very strange, even though he has changed his identity, he still put on his best clothes before coming here this morning.

"Then I'll go out first." Shao Yu said.

Chi Wenyue said, "Go and do your work."

Then, Chi Wenyue said to Xie Siqing, "I heard you wrote a notebook?"

"Yeah." Xie Siqing replied, "Yes, I'll take it out right away."

With that said, Xie Siqing handed the printed document to Chi Wenyue.

And, when Chi Wenyue was flipping through it, he explained, "This movie is about the conflict between individuals and society in the torrent of history, which is reflected in the stories of several generations of a family."

"Oh?"

"This story has a prototype, and I also talked to him, but there are many adaptations of the script, not all of which are true... The protagonist of the story, who makes a living by making handmade bows and arrows, is the ninth generation descendant of a shop. During the Qing Dynasty , bows and arrows were admired by the royal family, and the shop made a lot of money. But later, the owner of the shop abandoned his ancestral business and sold it because he smoked opium with other princes and buddies. The protagonist's grandfather raised money everywhere to sell it. His grandfather took it for granted that bows and arrows would continue their former glory, and never thought that it would decline one day. But suddenly, times changed and wars came, and the bow and arrow shop struggled to survive under artillery fire. After liberation, the shop With being appointed to make bows for domestic athletes, there was a brief revival. The owner at the time, the protagonist’s father, thought it would last forever. But soon began to break the four olds. Bows and arrows were not allowed to exist as feudal remnants. The shop was closed, and the protagonist's father was assigned to work as a carpenter in the factory for many years. Because he felt sorry for his collection of bows, he reluctantly sawed the best bows into several pieces and hid them deep, hoping to keep them. "

"And then?" Chi Wenyue asked.

"Then, decades later, the social environment became free and the shop reopened. Although in this era, there were very few customers, and no one knew about handmade bows and arrows. The protagonist's father once took the bow he made to participate in the competition. When I arrived at the door, I was told that handmade bows and arrows were not allowed to participate in the competition, and did not meet the requirements for equipment... Even so, my father still hoped that the protagonist could inherit the ancestral business and pass on this skill. The protagonist was unwilling at first, because he had other jobs. You know, in this day and age, this job is too ethereal..."

Chi Wenyue listened quietly.

Xie Siqing continued: "However, out of love, responsibility, and family affection, he finally agreed and turned himself into a traditional craftsman. He is not young and it is very difficult to learn. He practiced until early in the morning every day, and finally mastered He learned this skill... In order to save money for buying materials, he went out to drive a taxi for others. But even if the money has been saved, there are still many difficulties. Now is no longer the era when there are special materials for bow and arrow shops. The materials are very scarce. For example, buffalo horns need to be at least 5 to 6 years old, but the reality is that before they grow up, they have already been sent to the slaughterhouse. I have seen a hundred buffalo horns in the market It may not be possible to choose one. There is also bamboo, and there are special choices. A batch of 10 bows will take 3 to 4 months and go through more than 200 processes... However, no one comes to bows made with such care All of them are piled up in his home. He also doesn’t have a business license, because bows are weapons and personal making is prohibited, and the shop may be closed again at any time.”

After a pause, he said again: "Looking at the shops next to me, all of them have changed their styles, selling other things, actively adapting to society, and flourishing. In this case, the protagonist wants to He gave up, but in the end he was still reluctant. Just when he was desperate, he found a partner. The partner was able to do things and actively communicated with officials and celebrities in the field of sports and traditional culture. He asked them to contact buyers and help publicize, and asked the media to carry out A lot of reports, or criticism of bows and arrows in ancient costume movies to gain attention. Soon, there are more domestic and foreign customers. The protagonist is happy but sad watching all this. Sadly, just as he thought, These people who buy bows nowadays are not people who love bows, they are just curious, which is incompatible with the idea passed down from their ancestors. In the past, people who came to buy bows could tell a thing or two about bows, but now these customers are I don’t understand. At the end of the film, the protagonist notices that his wife, who has always been silently supporting him, seems to have thrown herself into the arms of his partner. After questioning him excitedly, he suddenly realizes that the partner is also himself... Those who actively adapt to the consumer society The same thing he did was the path he chose out of desperation, but he himself has been unwilling to admit it, because he believes that he should only be the most traditional craftsman..."

"Hmm..." Chi Wenyue smiled, "It's not easy to make a good shot of this kind of subject matter."

"I have shot many short films and won many awards." Xie Siqing said as he turned on the computer he was carrying casually, "I want you to see my work."

Xie Siqing counted and opened one of the short films. After 5 minutes, the screening ended. Xie Siqing clicked on a slightly longer one, 15 minutes.

After watching it, Chi Wenyue said: "This still doesn't mean you can make regular movies."

"It's true that it hasn't happened yet, but it's limited by funds." Xie Siqing looked at Chi Wenyue, "As long as there are investors, I can prove myself."

In fact, Xie Siqing also knew that such empty rhetoric, without any evidence, was difficult to persuade the other party to take out the money.

Chi Wenyue shook his head: "That's not the most important thing."

"……Um?"

"The most important thing is, I feel that your way of thinking is too much like Xie Siqing."

"Is there anything wrong with this?" Xie Siqing already had a bad premonition in his heart.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that it's not suitable for me now." Chi Wenyue said, "I want to try another type of investment."

"...?"

"Xie Siqing's works, although well received, are not particularly popular. At least the box office is not top-notch. Now I want to invest in a different genre."

"..."

Xie Siqing knew very well that for a person like Chi Wenyue, outsiders can't persuade him about things that have been decided, and he will never change his mind just because of other people's remarks.

Chi Wenyue believed in his own people.

Moreover, according to his gambling nature, it is impossible to give in a little bit and do something like "put a little money and try it casually".

Xie Siqing was not surprised by this result.

However, Xie Siqing did not expect that Chi Wenyue thought so.

The box office is not top-notch, Xie Si knew early on.

He has also been working hard to change this situation, because he wants to make Chi Wen happier.

But, actually, did Chi Wenyue think that way...?

After coming out, Xie Siqing was still a little bit overwhelmed.

Xie Siqing felt that Chi Wenyue suddenly became a stranger.

It turned out that Chi Wenyue was still dissatisfied with himself.

After all, I couldn't please him in my previous life.

Xie Siqing thought about it, and sent a text message to Zhong Yang: "He doesn't like it."

Zhong Yang quickly replied with a message: "Because it looks too much like Xie Siqing?"

"..." Xie Siqing asked, "How do you know?"

"Simple." Zhong Yang said: "His company contacted me and wanted to promote some different styles. Xie Siqing's movies are not the most profitable, and he is very opposed to placing advertisements in the movies. Worry, why do you want this cottage?"

"..." Zhong Yang's mouth was still as poisonous, but it made people unable to find words to refute him.

Xie Siqing asked: "You knew it would not succeed? Then why did you persuade me to go?"

"If you don't give it a try, will you give up?"

"..."

"Don't be too uncomfortable." Zhong Yang said again: "It's not your problem, there will always be someone who appreciates you."

"……thanks."

Zhong Yang can actually comfort people.

Xie Siqing thought about it, then called Little Putao and said, "I can resume work on Monday."

On the other side of the phone, Little Putao was jumping for joy.

It's really amazing.

In this world, the one who believes in herself the most is actually Little Putao.

On Monday, Little Putao expressed its ambition to release four new films this month.

Xie Siqing and the others worked overtime, and finally released the first part in the first week.

Because the robot trilogy sold well before, so this time the filming is still about the theme of robots.

The protagonist used to have autism, his mother was long gone, and his father died when he was 15 years old.Unbeknownst to him, his father had built a robot of his own age before he died.Therefore, in the film, the protagonist just meets a young man and discovers that this young man can understand his own emotions.He didn't expect that the reason why the other party could know his current emotions and thoughts and react from his subtle expressions and eye changes was that these programs were written by his father himself, and his father was the person who knew him best.Later they fell in love, and as time went by, the protagonist gradually learned to communicate with people... On his 20th birthday, he said to the robot, I have many friends now-but, after saying this, the other party Not the reaction he expected.In fact, the robot stopped moving for a moment.Then, the protagonist learns everything from the robot's diary.It turned out that when the father was making the robot, the last line of the command program was that when the son had many friends, the mission of the robot would be completed.In my father's view, technology is technology, machines are machines, and they serve human beings. When my son has many human friends, how can he care about a fake robot? It's just a waste of time and resources to continue writing the program That's all, when the time comes, just tell the son the truth... The protagonist finds that the robot has been struggling because of this, and the robot doesn't know whether he is a machine or a person.The protagonist looked at these and felt that his father was wrong.He remembered the story of Pygmalion in Greek mythology.Pygmalion is the king of Cyprus in Greek mythology. He fell in love with a statue and gave the statue all his affection. Later, the god was moved by him and gave the statue life so that they could be together.The protagonist believes that it is possible for a robot to become a human being, as long as someone is willing to treat him as a human being.At the end, the protagonist decides to become a scientist like his father, because only in this way can it be possible to restore the robot——

As soon as this work came out, Xie Siqing received far more comments than before.

Someone said: "Fuck watching a pornographic film is still BADENDING!"

Someone replied to this message: "Wanted to relax after watching a pornographic film, but I was so stuck that I didn't sleep well all night!"

Someone else said: "I'm a rotten girl, and I actually burst into tears watching a pornographic film!"

The author has something to say:

YY set up a small theater...

Xie Siqing asked a friend, if there is a big secret that has been concealed from her lover, when is the best time to say it.

My friend said: "Of course it was before XX! At that time, I will be forgiven no matter what!"

then……

Before a certain XX, the slow-witted Director Xie said, "Zhong Yang, I'm actually Xie Siqing..."

Zhong Yang: "What, honey, why are you that annoying guy!"

Director Xie: "I'm really Xie Siqing@#￥%...&×("

"..."

"Do you believe it now?"

Zhong Yang: "Well..."

Director Xie: "Then XX?"

Zhong Yang: "But, thinking of you as him, I wither..."
