The pace of the Spring Festival is approaching day by day, and everyone begins to look forward to the arrival of the Spring Festival.

Even Xu Jie, who is known as a "workaholic", is no exception.

Because all the sketches have passed the review of the China TV Spring Festival Gala, and the first draft of the new script has been completed, he also ushered in a rare period of time off.

Looking back, in the past few years, the closer the Spring Festival approached, the busier he was, and he was so busy that he didn't even have time to go home on New Year's Eve.

This year we can finally welcome the Spring Festival with ease.

But it's easy to relax. In order to avoid work coming to his door, he still created a very busy look for himself. He went to the company in the morning and left. No one could catch his shadow during working hours.

Of course, he is not idle either, sometimes he goes to a coffee shop, sometimes he goes to a bookstore to experience the peace and prosperity of the years.

On this day, Xu Jie left the company after punching his card like a few days ago.

He recently discovered a nice cafe, but not because of how good the coffee is, but because the location of the cafe is very good and he can enjoy a good view.

For him who has been busy for a year, it is very necessary for him to calm down and look at the scenery, settle himself down, and make a long-term plan for himself and the company.

Xu Jie was listening to soothing music while looking at the scenery outside the window, when suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Boss Xu?"

Xu Jie turned his head reflexively. When he saw the person beside him, he was startled for a moment, and then a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

"Director Liu? Why are you here?"

The one who called him was none other than the great director Liu Yulin.

The other party was wearing a black down jacket and a peaked cap. He looked very low-key, and he couldn't tell unless he looked carefully.

Seeing that it was really Xu Jie, Liu Yulin also had a happy smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and said, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here. My friends and I came here to sit and chat for a while. How about you, Mr. Xu?" , why is it only you?"

"I made an appointment to meet here with a client, but he couldn't come due to business, so I'm going to leave after drinking coffee." Xu Jie explained casually.

Of course, he couldn't tell the truth, saying that he came here to hide in peace. If it got out, he would be busy again before the Spring Festival.

Liu Yulin was taken aback for a moment, and thought to himself: How dare someone still let Mr. Xu's pigeons?Don't want to make money, do you?Have a grudge against money?
However, it's better to come early than coincidentally. He happened to have something to ask the other party. He was usually too embarrassed to ask, and worried that it would affect the other party's work. Since we met today, he just happened to ask.

He first asked his friend to find a seat nearby, then sat opposite Xu Jie himself, leaned his upper body forward, and said, "Mr. If it can be finished, you will finish watching his movie, how about the script of my movie?"

He read the script of Yu Zijian's movie, and it's okay if he doesn't read it. After seeing it, he was so envious. He thought that the cooperation agreement had been signed, and he would shoot it sooner or later, but now, he just wanted to get it quickly. Script, hurry up and start shooting the new movie.

"Coincidentally!" Xu Jie said after hearing this: "The script has just been written not long ago, and I plan to polish it after the Spring Festival and show it to you."

Now he needs to clear his mind and re-read the script after a while, maybe there will be new ideas and ideas to make the storyline more exciting.

As for now, even if he looks back, he has no other ideas.

"What? Finished writing? Then don't wait until after the Spring Festival, show me now." Liu Yulin looked anxious and his eyes were shining.

"Director Liu, don't worry, it's just a first draft, and I still have to revise it." Xu Jie was taken aback by the other party's reaction, feeling as if the other party wanted to grab it.

"It's okay, the first draft is okay, I just want to see what kind of story it is, so that I can be mentally prepared, and maybe I can give you some opinions and suggestions." Liu Yulin said.

Xu Jie saw that the other party couldn't wait, so he was too embarrassed to refuse. Besides, the other party has been in the film industry for decades, so maybe he can really give him some advice like Director Yu Zijian did.

"Okay, I'll send it to you tomorrow." Xu Jie thought for a while and said.

"Mr. Xu, isn't the client you're waiting for not coming? I think it's better to hit the sun than choose the day. How about now? I'll go to the company with you." Liu Yulin said.

what?
Xu Jie was stunned, and the script would not run away with long legs. As for being so anxious?

He had just sat down not long ago.

"Director Liu, what about your friend?" Xu Jie looked at the friend who came with Liu Yulin, trying to use this as an excuse to dissuade him from reading the script today.

"I can chat with him at any time." Liu Yulin said, turning his head to look at the friend not far away, and said loudly: "Old Zhou, I will leave first when I have something to do. You stay here slowly." drink."

"Ah."

After waiting for the answer, Liu Yulin looked back at Xu Jie and said, "President Xu, let's go."

Seeing that the other party had left even his friends behind, Xu Jie was really embarrassed to refuse the other party, so he stood up and said, "Well, let's go."

"Haha, to tell you the truth, I'm still a little excited now." Liu Yulin said excitedly, feeling comparable to the blind date back then.

"Director Liu, don't get excited, you might be disappointed after reading the script." Xu Jie gave the other party a vaccination in advance.

After all, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

He can only guarantee that he likes this script, but he cannot guarantee that everyone will like this script. Different experiences, different thoughts, and different preferences.

"No, no, I believe Mr. Xu." Liu Yulin said with a smile.

Xu Shenghua's movie won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Screenplay, and he also likes the movie that Yu Zijian is currently filming. If he doesn't like the script this time after reading it, it is definitely not Mr. Xu's problem, but his own problems.

After so many years in the film industry, whether it is an actor or a script, he sometimes misses it, and this must be admitted.

"Director Liu, don't say that. You should read the script first before evaluating." Xu Jie and the other party walked out of the coffee shop, got into their car, and drove to the company.

In order to avoid being discovered by the company's employees, he deliberately chose a place far away from the company, so it took a long time to return to the company, driving for more than 40 minutes.

Xu Jie returned to the office, printed out the first draft of the script, and handed it to Liu Yulin.

Liu Yulin did not leave after getting the script, but sat on the sofa beside him and read it. After reading a few lines, he suddenly thought of something, looked up at Xu Jie and asked, "Mr. Xu, am I here?" Will it interfere with your work?"

"No!" Xu Jie shook his head.

Being able to cooperate with a great director is a rare opportunity for both him and the company, so how could he drive him away?
"Do you have a conference room or a spare room here? How about I go there?" Liu Yulin asked after thinking about it.

"No, you can rest assured to watch here." Xu Jie said.

Now he is the most idle in the whole company, let the other party watch here.

Perhaps the temptation of the script was too great, so Liu Yulin stopped being polite and continued to read with his head down.

Xu Jie sat back in his office chair, watched the news, and waited for Liu Yulin.

"Ring bell bell!"

Only ten minutes later, the phone on the desk rang suddenly.

Xu Jie quickly picked up the phone and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Xu, director Yu Zijian is here, do you have time?" asked Zhao Xiaoying at the front desk.

Xu Jie was startled, Yu Zijian?
He looked at Liu Yulin in the office, what a coincidence.

"I'll go down right now."

He hung up the phone after he finished speaking, and wanted to say hello to Liu Yulin, but after seeing the other party's concentration, he couldn't bear to interrupt him, so he left the office lightly.

Lobby.

As soon as Xu Jie got out of the elevator, he saw Yu Zijian sitting in the rest area.

"Mr. Yu, why are you here? Did something happen on the set?" Xu Jie asked worriedly.

From the start of the movie to the present, this is the first time that the other party has come to Jingshi Culture to look for him. If there is nothing particularly important, the other party will definitely not be so idle.

"The film is finished." Yu Zijian said excitedly.

"Oh? Is that so?" Xu Jie's eyes lit up. Looking at the other party's delighted look, it seemed that not only the filming was completed, but also that he was very satisfied with the filming.

"Well, they're still on their way. I'll come back early to report to you. By the way, you said the post-production will be done at your place, or should I ask a company to produce it?" Yu Zijian asked.

"Of course it's here. Our Jingshi Culture equipment is very advanced across the country." Xu Jie said after hearing it.

When Yu Kuan, the former general manager, was here, the company was poor in all businesses, except for the equipment, which was very complete, which seemed to mean that the company had a lot of stationery.

"Okay, then I'll do the post-production here with you, and I can discuss it with you." Yu Zijian also hopes to be here, but he is worried that the other party's company has a lot of business and cannot spare equipment. Now that he has the other party's permission, he is also very worried. Happy.

"Director Yu, it will take some time for them to come back. You can sit in my office first. By the way, Director Liu Yulin is also in my office." Xu Jie said.

"Old Liu? What is he doing here?" Yu Zijian asked curiously.

"The new script is finished, he came over to take a look." Xu Jie said truthfully.

"Oh? New script? I'm going to read it too!" Yu Zijian immediately showed an expression of eagerness, pulled Xu Jie and walked towards the elevator.

Xu Jie came outside his office, worried about disturbing Liu Yulin inside, so he gently opened the door.

However, Yu Zijian didn't care about that. After entering, he sat next to Liu Yulin, picked up the manuscript that the other party had read, and began to read it.

Liu Yulin sensed someone beside him, so he moved to the side, but when he caught a glimpse of Yu Zijian beside him, he was stunned.

"Old Yu? Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? Why, you are allowed to come to Mr. Xu, so why don't I be allowed to come to Mr. Xu?" Yu Zijian asked back.

"No, how could I mean that?" Liu Yulin hurriedly explained with a smile, but when he saw the manuscript in the other party's hand, his expression immediately became serious, and he reached out to grab it, and said back: "That's my manuscript." Yes, give it to me."

Yu Zijian had quick eyesight and quick hands, and directly dodged, "I know, I'll just take a look."

"I'll watch it after you finish watching." Liu Yulin looked at the other party defensively, mainly because he was worried about being snatched away by the other party, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

"You finished what I watched, so it doesn't affect your reading." Yu Zijian moved his butt to the side, creating some distance.

Liu Yulin gritted her teeth and could only continue reading the manuscript.

Although it is a first draft, it has more than 30 words, but as a director, he has his own method of quickly reading the script.

In about an hour, Liu Yulin finished reading the script.

There was excitement in his eyes, and he really wanted to tell President Xu the answer right now, but thinking of Yu Zijian beside him, he finally endured it.

After the other party has left, he will talk again.

Not long after, Yu Zijian also finished reading. After putting down the script, he turned to look at Liu Yulin seriously, and said solemnly, "Old Liu, give me this script, and I'll give you the next one, how about it?"

When Liu Yulin heard this, he immediately became unhappy, and asked with staring eyes, "Why?"

"Because I like it." Yu Zijian said.

"Nonsense, I like it too. Besides, President Xu gave you a script, and it's almost finished? Lao Yu, you can't be so greedy." Liu Yulin blushed anxiously, isn't this Ming Qiang?
"Forget that I owe you a favor, and I will definitely pay you back in the future."

Although the script of "The Beast" was good, he felt that the script he had just read was even better, so that's why he was moved.

"No, who cares about your favor!" Liu Yulin rolled his eyes, then looked at Xu Jie and asked, "Mr. Xu, you come to judge."

After Xu Jie heard it, he could only look at Yu Zijian and said, "Director Yu, this script belongs to Director Liu. I have already agreed with Director Liu. Besides, the film "The Beast" has not been produced yet. Have time to make this movie? Can we still cooperate in the future."

Yu Zijian saw that Mr. Xu had said that, and knew that he was wrong, so he squeezed out a smile, looked at Liu Yulin and said, "Old Liu, I was joking with you just now, look at you, you still take it seriously."

Liu Yulin thought to himself: I believe you are a ghost, you are a bad old man.

He reached out and snatched the script back, holding it tightly in his arms like a baby.

Xu Jie shook his head secretly, the two people in their 60s still look like children, but he is very happy to be recognized by the two great directors, which shows that the script itself is still good.

"Director Liu, give me the script." Xu Jie said.

"Why?" Liu Yulin asked vigilantly, and only let down his vigilance when he found out that it was Mr. Xu.

"This is the first draft, so I can't let it out. I'll give you the final draft after I've revised it." Xu Jie explained.

Look, yes, take it away, no.

Only then did Liu Yulin realize that this was the first draft, so he returned the script.

Xu Jie put the scripts into the shredder one by one, and the confidentiality work must be done well.
