Entertaining Children

  Chapter 775 Manuscript completed

"Do you want me to star? Why?" Xiao Yao asked in amazement, "I have never made a feature film, but only acted in a TV series and a short film, and it was almost six years ago and two years ago. Before. China has so many excellent actors, why did you pick me?"

"Because I think you can act well!" Zhan Youcheng said, "Although you have only acted in one TV series and one short film, you have won the domestic newcomer award for making TV, and the short film you made has won awards abroad. Acting I don’t understand the matter, but you won awards twice for acting twice. This acting is always good, right? Those two awards are not just any pheasant awards."

   "The short film is for the film to win the prize, not for me as an actor." Xiao Yao reminded with a wry smile.

   "But if the actors in it don't perform well, the short film itself won't win awards, right?" Zhan Youcheng.

   "This..." Xiao Yao has nothing to say. To be honest, Xiao Yao also felt that his performance in "The Tuner" was still very good, and to insist that it was not good would be hypocritical.

"Also," Zhan Youcheng continued, "My story is about what happened during the earthquake last year. When the earthquake last year, you were the only celebrity who participated in the rescue work at the scene. No actor can compare with others. When you are on the scene, you have a deeper feeling about the earthquake. You are the reporter who interviewed me today. You are most familiar with my story, and you should have the deepest feeling."

   "In my eyes, you are the most suitable candidate." Zhan Youcheng finally said, "I don't think anyone can perform better than you!"

"Thank you for your affirmation." Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, and then shook his head. "But if a movie is not considered as preliminary preparations, if only the shooting time is counted, it will take at least one or two months as fast as half a year. It’s even been filmed for a few years. I’m still a student and I still have to go to school. I’m afraid I won’t have that long time to make movies."

"It's okay, I can wait for your vacation, or even wait for your graduation. It's not that I want to make this movie, I'm not in a hurry." Zhan Youcheng smiled, "Anyway, I will make this a condition of my authorization and require the system The film party wrote it into the contract."

"Okay, I understand." Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "I will pass your request to the producer and director. But having said that, now I just think your story is suitable for adaptation into a movie, my mother and the producer I still don’t know about you. Will they like this story like me? Will they want to take it out? I don’t know yet. I just asked them about your intentions in advance. "

  "That is to say, maybe they don't like my story at all, and didn't plan to make it into a movie?" Zhan Youcheng asked.

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded, "There is another possibility that they originally wanted to shoot, but because you added such a harsh condition, they decided not to shoot. Don't think that the director is my mother. She must feel that I am suitable for this role. This is her first movie, and she will be very cautious. Besides, I still don’t know who the producer is and what opinion the producer has on the actors.”

   "It's okay, I understand." Zhan Youcheng smiled, "It doesn't matter if the film is not possible, but if I want to film, I have such a request."

"No, you don't care, I do." Xiao Yao said, "I really want to put your story on the big screen. If my mother finally decides not to film your story, I will also film it myself. Come out. It’s just that if I shoot it myself, it’s not a recent event."

   "It doesn't matter who will shoot, it doesn't matter when you shoot, as long as you do it." Zhan Youcheng emphasized again.

"Okay, I see." Xiao Yao nodded, and then said, "For news reports, I still need to take a few photos to cooperate with the text report. I don't want to take photos of this kind with my mobile phone, but I am here today. Jiang Yan’s guest, the camera was left in the hotel room and didn’t bring it. Can I take the camera to your store tomorrow and take a few pictures of you and your store?"

"Yes." Zhan Youcheng nodded, "I open the door at 9 o'clock in the morning every day, and you go after 9 o'clock. I am in the store. Jiang Yan knows the address of my store." Since he agreed to be interviewed, Zhan Youcheng has no opinion on taking pictures. .

"Okay, I will go to your store to find you after nine o'clock tomorrow." Xiao Yao said, "If the report is approved for publication, I will notify you. I will talk to my mother about the film adaptation after I go back. If it succeeds or not, I will also tell you the result. So, would you give me your contact information?"

"No problem!" Zhan Youcheng took out the memo pad and pen from the drawer under the coffee table, wrote down his contact information, handed it to Xiao Yao, and then took the business card on the coffee table in front of him and put it away. ,"I also left your business card!"

"That's it for today. Thank you for talking so much with me today." Xiao Yao stood up from the sofa and stretched out his hand to Zhan Youcheng, "I won't bother you to rest." Put away Zhan Youcheng's Contact information, Xiao Yao is also ready to end this meeting.

   "You're welcome, I should thank you too!" Zhan Youcheng stretched out his hand and shook Xiao Yao, then smiled, "Go slow, I won't stand up to see you!"

"Don't, don't be polite." Xiao Yao looked at Zhan Youcheng's crutches next to the seat, and suddenly thought of another question, "You just said that the place where you amputated is the calf. It should be possible to install a prosthesis, right? Have you been using this all the time, haven't you considered putting on a prosthesis?"

  Physical disability can be equipped with a prosthetic limb, that is, a prosthetic limb. Compared with the decorative effect of the upper limb prosthesis, the lower limb prosthesis can assist walking, which is much more useful than the upper limb, and it can be used for more people.

"It is indeed possible to install." Zhan Youcheng said, "But the hospital can't install it. It needs to be assembled by a professional prosthesis company. Wearing a prosthesis requires attention to many issues, such as the cleaning of the prosthesis, and the place where the prosthesis is touched will be very painful. , It may wear the skin in the contact area and cause wound infection. It is very troublesome and there are certain risks. There is no such special prosthetic company in Wuyou County. I think I can’t climb the mountain anyway, and walk on crutches. There is no inconvenience. It can also avoid the problems that may arise when wearing a prosthesis. I don't bother to go to a prosthesis company in a big city to install a prosthesis."

   "Oh." Xiao Yao nodded, did not continue the topic, and took Jiang Yan to leave Zhan Youcheng's family.

   "Is it impossible to climb the mountain with a prosthesis?" Xiao Yao raised a question in his heart, but he didn't say it, but planned to inquire about it first.

"In addition to his friends who climbed the mountain, Brother Cheng can also chat with people in our family," said Jiang Yan, looking at Xiao Yao when he came out of Zhan Youcheng's family. You said more than you told our family. Brother Xiao, you are really amazing."

   "I was doing an interview," Xiao Yao smiled, "He doesn't speak, how can I write a press release?"

   "Then when can I see the news you wrote?" Jiang Yan asked.

   "It's hard to say," Xiao Yao said, "If it goes well, the day after tomorrow is the soonest, and the slowest, it may take a month."

   "What kind of newspaper is that? I have to buy it and read it." Jiang Yan said again.

"It's not easy to say." Xiao Yao said, "Xinhua News Agency has more than one newspapers and magazines. There are daily newspapers, weekly magazines, semi-monthly and monthly magazines. My reports are sent directly to the headquarters. It depends on what they think of me. It is suitable for publication in that kind of newspapers and magazines. When the results are available, I will inform you to buy them."

   "Okay." Jiang Yan nodded.

"Right," Xiao Yao said again, "I usually use my real name to send news reports, but my situation is quite special. Xinhua News Agency made an exception and agreed to let me use a pseudonym to post news. Most people don't know that my name is me, so After you read it, you should help me keep it secret, and don't let others know that the reporter is me, can you?"

   "Secrecy again? No problem!" Jiang Yan made an OK gesture, "My family knows that you are here to interview Cheng Ge, and I will keep them secret."

  After returning to Jiang Yan's house, Xiao Yao didn't wait much. He briefly talked to Jiang Yan's family and interviewed Zhan Youcheng. The situation went smoothly. After thanking Jiang's family for their hospitality, he left.

  Back to the hotel room, Xiao Yao simply took a shower, then turned on the computer and wrote the press release. Although Xiao Yao’s memory is super strong, he won’t forget it even after a period of time, but now I have just finished talking with Zhan Youcheng, not only when I remember the deepest, but also when I feel the deepest in my heart. There is no activity tonight. Xiao Yao just I plan to complete the text manuscript tonight, so that tomorrow with pictures, it can be sent directly to Xinhua News Agency via the Internet.

Xiao Yao planned to tell Ye Jiaying about Zhan Youcheng's story as a film script material. It is hard to say whether a story I heard and a news report published in a newspaper and magazine have the same effect on Ye Jiaying's side, but the feeling on the producer side is definitely different. Therefore, Xiao Yao also hopes that this report can be published as soon as possible, so that Ye Jiaying and the producers are more likely to choose this story.

  According to the original plan, everyone would set off for Guangyuan early the next morning, but Xiao Yao and Zhan Youcheng had an appointment yesterday with Zhan Youcheng to go to his store to take pictures with him after nine o'clock. Obviously, he couldn't leave early in the morning. After getting up the next day and gathering in the lobby, Xiao Yao informed everyone that there are still some personal matters to be dealt with in Wuyou County, and it may take half a day. This event has ended. Those who are willing to wait for him can leave together later. If there is something to do, they can also join the car and leave first.

It takes only half a day from Wuyou County to Guangyuan. Even if you leave at noon, you don’t have to rush the night. Xiao Yao’s affairs will definitely be done before noon. Once everyone discussed it, they all expressed their willingness to stay in Wuyou County for a long time and wait for Xiao Yao to be together. go.

As a result, some people returned to the room upstairs to go to sleep, some went out to visit Wuyou County with enthusiasm, while Xiao Yao drove the car alone, went to the street to find a place to have breakfast, and then proceeded according to yesterday. In the evening, the address given by Jiang Yan went to Zhan Youcheng's shop.

  When Xiao Yao arrived, Zhan Youcheng had just opened a store. There were no guests in this morning, so Xiao Yao went directly to the topic with his camera in his hand.

  Zhan Youcheng was trapped in the store’s basement warehouse, but the new store has no basement, but a room is separated from the back to serve as a warehouse. Xiao Yao also regrets that he lost the basement warehouse, which he really wanted to photograph.

  Xiao Yao first took some of the furnishings in the store, then took some close-up photos of Zhan Youcheng's people, and finally carefully asked for some photos of Zhan Youcheng's broken leg injury. Zhan Youcheng happily agreed. However, his storefront is a glass door. I don’t want to be seen by passers-by on the street outside. He just sits in the store and exposes his wounds to allow people to take pictures. So he temporarily closed the store door and took Xiao Yao to the warehouse behind. Let him shoot.

  After entering the warehouse, Xiao Yao first carefully observed the injury of Zhan Youcheng's broken leg, and then raised the camera to start shooting. Xiao Yao's shooting was also very careful. He took a dozen shots in a row at different angles from top to bottom, left, right, front, and back. He also took out a prepared measuring tape and took pictures of his injuries.

  "What are you doing?" Zhan Youcheng asked in a puzzled way, seeing Xiao Yao even taking out a tape measure and taking pictures of his wounds.

"Taking pictures of the leg circumference of the wound," Xiao Yao explained, "To break such a thick leg, it takes more courage and perseverance than ordinary people can do. Given specific numbers, it is shocking. It will be stronger."

   "This, okay." Zhan Youcheng thought for a while and accepted Xiao Yao's explanation.

  Almost half an hour later, Xiao Yao's filming was all over, and the two returned to the front store.

  After arriving in the store, Xiao Yao did not rush to leave. Instead, he sat down at the reception table, took out the laptop from his backpack, transferred the photos in the camera to the computer, and immediately edited and organized them. He selected the photos that he felt suitable and did some necessary post-processing. Xiao Yao put those photos into the text manuscript that he wrote yesterday, and then put the laptop in front of Zhan Youcheng.

  "The manuscript is finished, and you are here. You should take a look first. If you think there is a problem, where it is inappropriate or inconsistent with the facts, I will correct it on the spot." Xiao Yao pointed to the document on the computer screen.

   "Are you finished now? So fast!" Zhan Youcheng said in surprise.

   "Written last night, I just added the photo just now." Xiao Yao said.

   "Awesome," Zhan Youcheng gave a thumbs up, looked down at the computer screen and said, "Let me see."

   "What's the matter with this name?" Zhan Youcheng asked just after reading the beginning, pointing to the computer screen.

"This is my pseudonym." Xiao Yao said, "My identity is quite special, and the agency specifically allows me to sign with a pseudonym. I hope that others will be willing to read my report not because I am a star, but because of the content of the report itself. By the way, this pseudonym, please help me keep it secret."

   "Understood, no problem." Zhan Youcheng nodded, then looked down.

   "Basically no problem," after ten minutes, Zhan Youcheng, who finished watching, touched his chin and smiled, "No, it's not okay, it's very good. After watching it, I was moved by myself!"

   "It's fine if there is no problem, then I will post it like this." Xiao Yao took the laptop and said.

   "Wait, I don't seem to see the photo you took just now with a tape measure against my injury." Zhan Youcheng said in confusion.

"When I added a photo just now, I suddenly felt that it was not appropriate to put the photo with a tape measure on it, and it was useless. I just took a lot of photos, and not every one is used. There are always some trade-offs. "Xiao Yao said.

   "Oh." Zhan Youcheng nodded, "What about the useless photos?"

"You don't want to go back all the other photos, right?" Xiao Yao said, "If you want a copy, I can send it to you, but I also want to keep a copy of these photos as a backup. Maybe I will return it somewhere in the future. I will use it."

"Actually, I didn't intend to ask for it," Zhan Youcheng laughed. "But since you said that, please make a copy and send it to me. I just remembered that you are still a big-name photographer. The photos you took. , It’s not something most people can get if they want."

   "Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, "You have a USB flash drive, I'll copy it for you."

  "Yes!" Zhan Youcheng handed over a USB flash drive.

  I copied the photos to Zhan Youcheng, and Xiao Yao’s affairs were all completed, so he bid farewell to Zhan Youcheng and returned to the hotel.
