You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 13 Past events in the square

Su You was now filled with emotion. If he hadn't had the memory of his previous life, he would have thought this proposal was outrageous.

Li Mingyue must not have known why she made such a suggestion. She must have had no idea, and even thought her choice was outrageous like everyone else.

But she still chose to support him without hesitation!

This heavy trust left Su You with nothing to do in return. He could only try his best to film the drama well in order to repay Li Mingyue's kindness.

Zhang Keer, Hao Wei and the others were already numb. Looking at Su You and Li Mingyue who were in high spirits, they suddenly felt that they could no longer keep up with their thoughts.

Nowadays, the users of all major video platforms are young people. Who would watch a drama starring uncles and aunties?
And these uncles and aunts are not ordinary uncles and aunts. Judging from the appearance of the uncles, they are probably over 70, right?
It's okay if no one watches the show. If something goes wrong during the filming process, their newly established company may not even be able to compensate it!

However, Zhang Keer was already a little unconfident because of her misjudgment of "Dragon King" last time. Now seeing that Su You and Li Mingyue are optimistic about these uncles and aunts, she suddenly felt that maybe, this drama can really Fire?

After all, Li Mingyue has a sharp eye. She told herself from the beginning that "Dragon King" would be a hit. There must be nothing wrong with Mingyue's vision, right?

Although Hao Wei and Li Zhenduo thought it was a bit outrageous, since it was what Su You decided to do, what could they do? Of course, they would support him.

"Uncle and aunt, do you want to film a drama?"

Just do what comes to mind. After Su You made his decision, he walked straight out of the food stall, came to the group of uncles and aunts, and asked.

"Filming a drama?"

Hearing Su You's words, the aunt who was singing just now suddenly laughed, "If we can't do it, how can we film!"

However, as soon as the Mandarin with dialect characteristics was spoken, Su You immediately felt a sense of intimacy. This may be a special fate. The uncles and aunts in the original drama also have strong accents, and their accents are also a plus.

Therefore, the starring roles must be these uncles and aunts!
"It's okay, just give it a try. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work."

Su You continued to persuade, and directly came up with his trump card, "Don't you want to promote Yue Opera?"

Since these uncles and aunts are singing Yue Opera, they must be enthusiasts who use themselves to save others. If they find a fun game, they also hope that this game will be discovered by more people and will spontaneously go to Amway to promote it, so these uncles and aunts must also be I hope Yue Opera will become more popular.

Sure enough, Auntie's eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you going to film a Shaoxing opera?"

Su You shook his head.

The aunt's eyes suddenly became sad. There are no young people who like Shaoxing opera these days.

“But we are qualified to publish!”

"As long as the drama becomes popular, won't you also be popular? Then you can show Yue opera yourself and let more people see the charm of Yue opera. Naturally, more people will like Yue opera!"

Su You began to lobby, and what he said was true.

"Then how much do we need to spend? Can we make up for it?"

After hesitating for a moment, the aunt asked carefully. They thought that no one would watch the drama they filmed, so they should pay for it.

"Ha ha……"

Su You suddenly laughed, "Auntie, you misunderstood. We want to invite you to be the leading actor, and we also need to pay you wages. How can we ask you for money!"

For a moment, uncles and aunts all gathered around, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Su You said firmly.After getting a positive answer, the aunts couldn't refuse at all and were even willing to star for free.

Of course, wages and other things still have to be paid, and the price is clearly marked. It can only be high, not low. This is what Li Mingyue insists on.

This made Su You understand his boss better. He was full of trust in his employees, kind-hearted, pursuing, and ideal. Such a boss was like a dream come true!
……

Back in the dormitory, Su You immediately exchanged various details for the relevant episodes of "Once Upon a Time in the Square", and then wrote the script of the first episode quickly.

"Mr. Li, the script for the first episode has been written. Do you want to take a look?"

"No need to read. I believe in Director Su's ability. I only have one request. Those uncles and aunts must be the protagonists."

Li Mingyue, who is currently watching the drama, replied directly. She is very confident in her judgment. As long as the starring role remains unchanged, the drama will definitely lose money!
Look, what is trust?

This is trust!
Without even reading the script, I unconditionally agreed to any of my suggestions. I was so touched!

"But Mr. Li, we have to set aside part of the funds for publicity this time." Su You reminded that since Li Mingyue appreciated him so much, he naturally couldn't let Li Mingyue go bankrupt. Otherwise, where would he find such a good boss?
"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about publicity, and you don't have to worry about funds. After the success of "Dragon King", I attracted a wave of investment, and now we are not short of money!"

"You must tell me where you need to spend money. You must not lower the quality of the show just to save money!"

Li Mingyue said confidently.

Now "Dragon King" still has a lot of income every day, so the funds that can be invested this time are far more than 50 yuan. Of course, she will ask Su You to spend it for her.

As for publicity, it must be impossible to publicize it. It is impossible to use money to promote it!
Although Li Mingyue's tone was very firm, for some reason, Su You always felt that the boss was a little unreliable in promoting this matter.

So, can you change your thinking?

They were originally a small team that had just been established, and they were not good at publicity and distribution. Instead of doing this, why not try another distribution method?
Thinking of this, Su You already had a plan in mind!
This time was no different than "The Dragon King". After the script was written, Su You spent several days looking for a suitable venue and purchasing props. It wasn't until the fourth day that everything was ready.

However, everyone has not been idle these days. After deciding on the direction, the venue and props were handed over to Li Zhenduo. The script was also given to several uncles and aunts in advance, and Hao Wei also played a small cameo role.

On the fifth day, at 08:30 in the morning, January in Zhejiang Province was cold and humid. A group of people dragged large and small bags of equipment onto the rented Buick Business and rushed to the shooting location.

However, Li Mingyue didn't follow. It was hard to determine whether it was because she couldn't get up because she set off too early, or because she said that it was the end of the semester and she had to prepare well for the exam...

The reason why it was set to start at nine o'clock was because Su You considered that uncles and aunts might not be able to get up early.

However, when they arrived at the shooting location, their uncles and aunts were already waiting there.

"Director Xiao Su, your script is so well written!"

As soon as he got off the bus, his uncles and aunts came up to him and praised Su You.

This time, even Zhang Keer had no objection. As a photographer, after reading the script, she suddenly felt that Su You was quite talented!
If she thought the script of "Dragon King" was a must-win, then at least she found this script somewhat interesting.

Su You looked at the uncles and aunts who came up to him in exaggerated evening dresses, but he couldn't laugh or cry, "Aunt Cao, what we are shooting this time is more homely, so there is no need to dress so... grandly..."

Aunt Cao was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "Ah, don't we attach great importance to this shooting?"

"Change, change...we all listen to Director Xiao Su!"

After reading the script, they were all very satisfied with Su You's script. They had a heartfelt love for this talented young man, so of course they had no objection to anything Su You said.
