Chapter 503 No Leisure
After Du Yunxiang took Chacha out, Liu Wangxue sat downstairs with Gu Xuelan for a while, talking about the arrival of her aunt Gu Xuemei and uncle Gu Xuehui.
My aunt and uncle have long said they would come, and they only planned a broad time - the Spring Festival. However, the specific day has not been decided yet.
Until noon today, Liu Wangxue and the others were taking the children to make lanterns in the sunroom. Gu Xuelan was preparing lunch in the kitchen when she received a call from Gu Xuemei, saying that she had discussed it with her elder brother and sister-in-law - Gu Xuelan The second child in the family, Gu Xuemei is the third, and Gu Xuehui is the eldest - they plan to come over on the 28th of the year, and if there are no problems with Gu Xuelan, she will ask her daughter to check the air tickets.
Gu Xuelan was a little surprised: "Sister-in-law and brother-in-law are coming too?"
At first, Gu Xuemei only said that she and Gu Xuehui were coming. Gu Xuelan also knew the reason why her sister-in-law couldn't come. She was the main member of the square dance team in the community, and she and her team members wanted to represent the community and participate in the city's square dance competition. But Gu Xuemei didn't mention it at all as to whether her brother-in-law was coming. Gu Xuelan had asked before, and Gu Xuemei said impatiently, "Screw him."
Gu Xuemei said: "Isn't this the matter of my sister-in-law and the others' square dance? As you know, as long as you can win one, you can appear at the Lantern Festival Party of the city TV station. Their team originally I guess she can get third place. If she does, she will definitely not be able to go. She will have to go to the city to rehearse every day. This morning, she won fourth place. "
Gu Xuemei arrived. I watched the game live just to cheer for my sister-in-law, and she spoke in a rather regretful tone: "We are only 0.5 points behind the third place runner-up in front of us. If it weren't for Sister Li's mistake, she would probably have been ranked higher. . ”
“That’s such a pity.” Gu Xuelan also felt very sorry. She saw her sister-in-law’s post about cheering before the game in her circle of friends and wanted to call her in the afternoon to ask about the results.
“What about Song Ningwei,” Gu Xuelan asked with a smile, “Didn’t you say you didn’t care about him before?”
Song Ningwei is Gu Xuemei's husband and Liu Wangxue's uncle.
Gu Xuemei said in an impatient tone again: "I don't want to care about it. I get annoyed just looking at him. He is the one who wants to follow me because he is so shameless."
This matter between the couple, Gu Xuelan I don’t want to say more, because I know it’s useless to say it: “Then how do you choose a day on the 28th? Sister-in-law’s competition is over, so just come a few days earlier.”
“This is not thinking about your family. We have guests now Is she here? What Xu Xu said when Jing Yu sent a message to Xu Xu is that she is now half the boss? "Song Jingyu is Gu Xuemei's daughter and Liu Wangxue's cousin. Gu Xuemei said, "She didn't leave until she was twenty-eight. What if we go? It's early, sister, you can't live there."
"Okay," Gu Xuelan said, "Let us book your flights and let Xu Xu pick you up then."
< br>
After Gu Xuelan spoke to Liu Wangxue, she forwarded the flight information to her.
Liu Wangxue took a look and found that the time was almost the same as that of the people who were leaving here. They were both at noon. Auntie and the others landed on this side, while Xu Qingsong and Du Yunxiang took off on the other side.
The studio started to have a holiday on the 28th of the year. Everyone has basically booked air tickets and train tickets. Du Yunxiang and Du Yunkai will return to Haishi together. Xu Qingsong will also return to Beijing that day.
"What a coincidence." Liu Wangxue said, "Mom, all I have to do is make a trip to the airport to be picked up."
"That's okay." Gu Xuelan also felt that What a coincidence. He then said, "Hurry up and take a look at the hot spring resort you went to last time. Can you still book a hotel now?"
Liu Wangxue exited the chat interface, opened the hotel reservation APP, and asked: "When do you plan to go?"
"We have to celebrate New Year's Eve no matter what." Gu Xuelan said, "Your aunt and the others plan to stay here Stay for half a month.”
Liu Wangxue checked and said: “It’s basically fully booked in the days before and after the Spring Festival. Hey, this is the one we stayed at last time, starting from the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. There are vacancies starting."
"Okay, let's take this one." Gu Xuelan said that she heard from Liu Wangxue that this house has a good view of both the mountains and the lake.
Liu Wangxue checked the check-in and check-out dates and booked a four-night stay. The last time they went there, they only spent three days there. There were many small attractions and experience centers. She didn't even go, so she hoped that her parents would go and have more fun.
Gu Xuelan specifically reminded her; "Book a standard room for your aunt and uncle."
Liu Wangxue said that she knew, and there was no need to remind her. Since her aunt awakened the "heroine consciousness", how did she view her uncle? Not pleasing to the eye. My aunt herself said that if there weren't enough rooms at home, she would sleep in a separate room with her uncle.
Gu Xuelan watched her operation and asked: "Why are you not going to just book three rooms?"
"I'm not going. The director will discuss the script with me later. I don't know. Do you want to revise it again? If so, I'm afraid I won't have time." Liu Wang. Xue made the reservation successfully and told Gu Xuelan that she was going to attend the interview. "The specific date has not been decided yet, but it should be at the end of this month and the beginning of next month. The time is still quite tight." At the same time, she I also want to complete the script based on Tao Huaxin and Qiu Xiangrong as soon as possible.
Gu Xuelan feels that she is really busy now: "I said that I would come here to retire, but I haven't seen you really have a few days of leisure. There are so many things to do during the Spring Festival."
There is no time for leisure. Liu Wangxue feels that life is really leisurely now. As long as she is not writing scripts, she will be doing nothing and leisurely.
The mother and daughter chatted for a few more words. Seeing that the time was almost up, Liu Wangxue went upstairs to his room, sat at his desk, and connected to Meng Luoqiu via video chat.
Liu Wangxue, a script by Youyou, gave a very theme-appropriate and straightforward name, called "Moon Halo Effect".
The script of the game is less than 150,000 words, and when expanded into the script of the TV series, the number of words increased to over 200,000. This was also the result of discussions between Liu Wangxue and Du Yunxiang. The story was originally not large, and the revised script could cover almost twenty-five episodes, covering five short stories.
The content of the story is short and concise, with some foreshadowings and twists that made Meng Luoqiu have the urge to be amazed after reading it. The reason why I say "impulsive" is that it must have not been filmed.
After Liu Wangxue sent the revised script to Du Yunxiang, Jing Yujun, as if he could figure it out, immediately appeared in Du Yunxiang's office to ask for it from her. Du Yunxiang sent the script to Jing Yujun. After Jing Yujun got it, he changed hands and sent it to Meng Luoqiu. He also asked for credit: "Sister, you have to thank me. I found a good script for you."
< br>
Meng Luoqiu was at the work site when he received the script. He took the time to read it through the busy day from morning to night. She really fell in love at first sight and told Du Yunxiang that if Du Yunxiang had no other director in mind, she would take it.
This is just a polite statement. Meng Luoqiu had known about the script from Jing Yujun a few days ago. Now that Jing Yujun can send the script directly to her, it means that both Du Yunxiang and Liu Wangxue are interested in it. Hers. She thought to herself that it didn't matter even if she didn't like it originally. The most she could do was put some thought and time into winning over the script no matter what.
Meng Luoqiu did not go back to her residence at night, but went back to her parents' house because Meng Huadong called her to go back for dinner. On the way, the assistant drove, and she read the script on her tablet. When he got home, he didn't expect that Jing Yujun was there, and he had finished reading the script. The two chatted from the moment they met until after the meal, which made Meng Huadong even ask for the script to read it.
Meng Luoqiu has a very high opinion of this script, but one thing is that she feels that the script is too small. It would be a pity to film it according to the current content, because there is a lot of content in each story that can be explored deeply. .
Especially the criminal motives and criminal psychology interpretation of the male protagonists, as well as the female protagonist’s own experience expressed through her own experience, or the plight of women in the current society seen through her eyes. In addition, In addition, there are several more outstanding supporting characters who deserve more attention.
Meng Luoqiu chatted with Liu Wangxue, and the conversation was naturally about this aspect. She hopes that Liu Wangxue can expand the content of the story, leaving enough room for expression for the characters in the story, while also leaving more room for her camera to record and show.
Meng Luoqiu said: "If we dig deeper, we will inevitably touch on some relatively sensitive topics. I haven't had time to ask Mr. Du yet, so I don't know what her plans are for this drama. In fact, as far as I'm concerned, Yan, I think it would be very meaningful if this drama can be filmed, but it may not be easy to pass the review in some places, but if it is broadcast on an online platform, the review will be relatively less strict. "< br>
As for which platform the drama will be broadcast on after filming, Liu Wangxue has neither obsession nor contempt in her heart. She has always felt that as long as the drama is good, no matter where it is broadcast or when it is broadcast, it will receive praise. of. In the current situation where TV ratings are generally declining, regardless of considerations such as stars and financial interests, "starring" is the icing on the cake for high-quality TV series.
But this ultimately depends on Du Yunxiang's considerations.
Du Yunkai and the others no longer seem to be doing this project for the purpose of making money. As for Du Yunxiang's thoughts on making the drama, she has not yet had a detailed chat with Liu Wangxue. She only shared her thoughts on the script. Liu Wangxue could basically guess from her words that most of the siblings had the same idea.
After talking to Meng Luoqiu, as Liu Wangxue had expected, the script had to be changed again. Meng Luoqiu's suggestion was that it would be best to expand each story to about ten episodes, or calculate it based on the length of each episode of forty minutes. Liu Wangxue's workload more than doubled in this way.
Liu Wangxue said with a smile: "It is definitely possible to write it, but it will definitely take more time as long as the time limit is guaranteed, so the director will not be able to get the script in the short term. "
Meng Luoqiu said it didn't matter: "Just write, I'm willing to wait for as long as you want. I won't accept any other books now. I'll just wait for this one."
"Okay." Liu Wangxue agreed, thinking that the other script had to be pushed back a little.
The two chatted for a long time. When Liu Wangxue came out of the room holding Xiaoci, the sun had already set and Gu Xuelan was preparing ingredients for dinner in the kitchen.
Liu Wangxue went over to help and get some food by the way.
Gu Xuelan asked her: "Have you talked to the director? How was it?"
Liu Wangxue took an apple out of the cardboard box in the corner and was peeling it after washing it. Said: "Well, we've finished chatting, and I'll be busy next."
"Okay." Gu Xuelan looked at her like that without any impatience, which meant that she liked her current situation and work, so just be busy if you are busy. It is better for young people to be busy. As she spoke, she thought of Wenxi again and asked Liu Wangxue: "I haven't sent a message to Xixi in the past two days. Have you asked her, when will she be back?"
"I asked." Liu Wangxue said that she only received a reply to the message she sent to Wenxi the night before last night, "She said it's either the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Gu Xuelan counted the days, and it was the 26th or 2nd of the year. Seventeen.
"But I feel anxious." Liu Wangxue added.
After Wenxi returned from Country Y, he expanded a new production line for "Chunjian". Now that the New Year is approaching, the orders for "Chunjian" are soaring. Since before New Year's Day, the cooperative garment factories have begun Worked overtime to catch up.
The "Metaphor" side is also fully prepared and is waiting for the official opening after the Spring Festival. However, Wenxi's previous trial fittings have earned her a good reputation. As soon as word spread in the circle, orders came in. The money came automatically. Wenxi felt that he would be a fool not to accept it, so he arranged the numbers for these big customers first and did it one by one.
However, these big clients came for Wenxi’s design and craftsmanship, and did not approve of the two designers she recruited at all. Wenxi is completely overwhelmed by herself. Even though this sexy costume is just a small amount of fabric, the design is time-consuming and the production is time-consuming. The design requires back-and-forth communication with the customer, and the production is all handmade by her, including the accessories. A set of simple styles can be produced in more than a month, but when it comes to more complicated ones, especially if some customers want embroidery, they have to wait - Wenxi doesn't know how to embroider, so he can only hire embroiderers from outside. .
As a result, "Metaphor" has not officially announced its business to the outside world, and high-end customization orders have been directly queued to the second half of the year.
“So it’s good that she can come back on New Year’s Eve.” Liu Wangxue said that she had finished peeling the apple. She cut it in half with a fruit knife, walked to the dining table and handed one half to Gu Xuelan.
Gu Xuelan sighed: "Then I will send her some food tomorrow. She will definitely stop eating well when she gets busy. She is already thin. If she doesn't eat well, her health will be gone."
"No, Mom, it's only three or five days." Liu Wangxue picked up the phone with one hand and said, "Even if you send it, she probably won't have time to eat. I gave her a dose two days ago. There are single nutritional supplements and meal replacements, I guess I have received them today.”
As he said that, he saw a small red dot on the information icon, and then he remembered that he had to go to town to pick up the courier, which was Qian Tianwen. Xi sent a message to tell Liu Wangxue to check the things he bought for the three little ones.
Wenxi actually bought it two days before he sent the message. He forgot to tell Liu Wangxue that the courier was delivered to the town today. It was the pickup message sent during the video with Meng Luoqiu.
Liu Wangxue finished the apple in two bites, said something to Gu Xuelan, and rode a battery car to the town.
