1978: Female educated youth, don’t want an illiterate husband

Chapter 97 Is this a script? Then what does our director do? (ask for monthly tickets)
"Xie Dao, how about I take you to the guesthouse tomorrow?"

"If you keep riding like this, I'm afraid you'll fall and get hurt!"

Under Xie Jin's swift and decisive action, Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiazhao, his uncle and son, were urged by him to go to their home to get the script of "The Shepherd".

But the snowstorm was so strong that Cheng Xuemin had to ride a bicycle with Xie Jin on it, which was really crooked!

For who knows how many times, Cheng Xuemin almost fell into the snow with his car. He said to Xie Jin with a wry smile.

"Yes, Old Xie, how about I take you back to the guesthouse, and Xuemin and I will give you the script tomorrow?"

My eldest brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao was also riding a bicycle. He had fallen two or three times. He was breathing out white air and nodded repeatedly in agreement.

In fact, I am not very reassured about the quality of the script written by Xuemin!

My brother-in-law is good in every way except that he is too patient. The script has been written, but he has yet to give his elder brother-in-law some approval or help to review and polish it!
It was agreed at that time that after the script was written, I would show it to him first to polish it, and then hand it over to the unit for review.

Now, Feng Jiazhao hasn’t even taken a look at the script yet, but director Xie Jin is already impatient to come to his house to read the script.

There wasn't even any time left for them, my uncle and I, to polish it.

So, taking advantage of the heavy snowstorm, Feng Jiazhao really suggested that Xie Jinxian hurry back to the guesthouse and wait for his uncle and he to finish polishing the manuscript overnight before delivering it to him personally.

"What are you talking about!? We're already out, why don't I take care of you, Xuemin?"

Xie Jin is still strong and thinks that Cheng Xuemin’s cycling skills were not good enough, which led to him almost falling. So he wants to grab the bicycle and ride it himself!
“Isn’t this a question of who leads whom?”

Cheng Xuemin simply threw the bicycle to him and even blamed him for his poor riding skills!

Believe it or not, let me show you how to drift!
"No, no, Director Xie, please get used to it first... Director Xie, please hold the bell steady!"

Xie Jin took the bicycle and motioned Cheng Xuemin to sit on it quickly, but Cheng Xuemin waved his hands repeatedly and asked him to get used to it first!
But who would have thought that before Cheng Xuemin could finish his words, Xie Jin kicked the bike and it slipped out before he even got on.

As a result, Xie Jin was in such a mess that he fell directly into the snow pile.

"Thank you, Director. Are you okay? Did you fall?"

"Old Xie, Old Xie, please slow down, the road is very slippery!"

When Cheng Xuemin and Feng Jiazhao saw this, they hurried forward, dug the man out of the snow pile, and asked.

"Fuck, is the snow here in Yanjing so heavy and slippery?"

After wiping the snow off his face, Xie Jin couldn't help but swear.

"Let's just walk back!"

When faced with a stubborn person like Xie Jin who insisted on going to get the script and read the manuscript today, Cheng Xuemin could only suggest that they walk back!
"Then Xuemin, you walk slowly. I'll ride a bicycle. I don't believe in evil!"

Xie Jin was stubborn and refused to accept the result. He wanted to try riding it again. As for talking about taking Cheng Xuemin with him, he didn't dare to say anything!
In the end, the two people in front were riding their bicycles crookedly, and Cheng Xuemin was walking behind, but he was not far behind.

It’s almost dark, and this is home!
However, he was the first one to return home. Mr. Feng, Mrs. Feng, his eldest sister-in-law, his second sister-in-law, and his younger sister-in-law had not returned yet.

As for Feng Jiayou, it is even more impossible. She will stay here tonight and will not come back until the snowstorm passes and melts.

It was just that Qian Lao was older than those who left earlier and took the bus back, but he never got home.

It must be because the snow and wind are too strong and the road is blocked!

After entering the courtyard, Cheng Xuemin welcomed Xie Jin into his east wing and said, "This room is a little shabby and crowded, Director Xie, please don't dislike it!"

"No, no, this is a humble room, but my virtue is fragrant. I think this place is very good!"

"Look, this room is full of knowledge. No wonder you can write such a good manuscript as "The Shepherd"!"

When Xie Jin first entered the room, he was indeed surprised by the room full of books.

As expected, if you want to write good articles, you must first calm down and study hard. Cheng Xuemin, a young man, is the best role model.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Xie. We rented the front yard to buy this house. We are indeed a little short of housing, so we have to let Xuemin in!"

Brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao also said a little embarrassedly.

"No, no, really not!"

"No, Jiazhao, you said this courtyard belongs to Mr. Qian? Which Mr. Qian?"

Xie Jin waved his hands again and again, but when he heard Feng Jiazhao mention Lao Qian, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Who else could it be, Mr. Qian? The one at today's symposium!" Feng Jiazhao explained with a smile!
"Hey, it's Mr. Qian!"

Xie Jin slapped his thigh. He really didn't expect that they actually lived in the front and back yards with Mr. Qian.

"Director Xie, this may not be very well written, please take a look first!"

"If that doesn't work, then let my eldest brother grab the knife and write it!"

Cheng Xuemin took out the draft script of "The Shepherd" from the drawer, handed it to Xie Jin and said.

“You’ll know if it’s well written or not until you read it!”

"Although you are modest, you are confident in your heart, so you shouldn't be too bad!" "Besides, don't you have your eldest brother-in-law, a professional screenwriter, to check and polish for you, right?"

At the beginning, Xie Jin was not very optimistic about Cheng Xuemin, the original author, personally rewriting the script.

But on the way here, I also remembered that Cheng Xuemin, the original author, has a professional screenwriter brother-in-law!
How could they not write a good script if the two of them, Lang and Uncle, joined forces?
After hearing what Xie Jin said, brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao did not directly shake his head and say that he had not seen the script first.

It was not that he was afraid that the script would be poorly written and would embarrass Feng Jiazhao, but he emphasized too much that he had not read the script, let alone polished it, which made his brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin feel that he, as the elder brother-in-law, was distancing himself from the matter in advance.

If the script is indeed not well-written, the worst that can happen is that the two of them will continue to revise it later; if it is well-written, it will not be too late to explain it.

Of course, Cheng Xuemin also nodded with a smile, and also did not over-emphasize that he had not shown the script to his brother-in-law.

Because he was really confident in the script, there was no need to emphasize the need to forcibly remove his brother-in-law.

immediately!

Xie Jin held the script draft and began to read it carefully. At the beginning, he looked very calm, but later on, his expression became more and more shocked and surprised!
Brother Feng Jiazhao, who was watching along with them, also had a look of shock and surprise on his face!
Just after reading it, my eldest brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao couldn't help but blurt out, "Xuemin, did you complete this independently?"

"Ah! I just finished writing it last night and didn't even have time to proofread it for typos!"

Cheng Xuemin nodded. Wasn’t the brother-in-law’s reaction a little too much? There was Old Xie next to him. Couldn’t family members be more humble?
"No, this script was completed by Xuemin independently?! Jiazhao, didn't you help to polish it?"

If Feng Jiazhao had not reacted so strongly, and Xie Jin knew Feng Jiazhao's character well, he would have even suspected that Feng Jiazhao, the elder brother-in-law, personally rewrote the script in order to promote his own brother-in-law, and then let his brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin take it out and said that he had written it himself!

This script is indeed a perfect fit, both in terms of its structure and the coordination of various scenes!
What made Xie Jin even more confused was that the draft of the script was actually filled with storyboard manuscripts!
Hastily!
Xie Jin cursed several times in his heart. Wasn't it his job as a director to draft the storyboard?

It seems that Cheng Xuemin, the original author, not only adapted the script, but also helped out with the directing job?
“I didn’t!” Feng Jiazhao shook his head and said, “When I mentioned to Xuemin that The Shepherd might be adapted into a movie, he thought about writing the script himself!”

"That's fine. At the time, I thought I'd let him try to write it first. When he finishes writing it or can't continue, I'll take over and continue!"

"So I threw a few script samples to him and asked him to take a look at the script format and try it out first, and then I didn't care about it anymore!"

"But how could I know... I really didn't know that he had completed this script independently!"

Feng Jiazhao had originally been prepared to help smooth things over if the script was not well-written.

But who would have known that his brother-in-law was truly an all-rounder, self-taught! ?
He was able to write the script of "The Horse Herder" so well that he even drew all the storyboards!
This sketch artist...can really go directly to Yanying Studio to be an art screenwriter!
"Old Xie, what do you think?!"

Finally, Feng Jiazhao asked Xie Jin in return, "Don't look so smug!"
"How do I feel?!"

"Feng Jiazhao, you are a professional screenwriter, why do you need to ask me what you think?!"

"Fuck, Xuemin, you're so damn good?! Not only did you write such a good script, you even wrote all the storyboards for me as the director!"

"Then tell me, what's the point of me going north this time? You might as well just send me the script and I'll start filming!"

Xie Jin felt that these two uncles must be playing him!
It was all written so well, even the storyboard draft was drawn so well, completely describing Xie Jin's original idea of ​​how he wanted to shoot the film, and he even asked him if it was good? !

your sister!
Xie Jin was really dissatisfied with his uncle and uncle. He must have done a lot of homework before coming to Yanjing.

Just for the storyboard drafts of "The Shepherd", he thought of a lot and rejected many of them, and the one he finally decided on unexpectedly coincided with the one drawn by Cheng Xuemin!

The sparks from this collision of inspiration are fucking awesome!
"So, Old Xie, do you think Xuemin's script is really good?!"

Feng Jiazhao confirmed again and asked!

"Okay, it's pretty good! I guess even if Lao Teng from your Yanying Studio copied it himself, it wouldn't be better than this!"

"That's it!"

Xie Jin touched his pocket, took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes, and handed one to Cheng Xuemin!
Cheng Xuemin didn’t take it and refused to smoke!

He then handed it to Feng Jiazhao. The elder brother-in-law was not polite since he smoked. He took the cigarette and said, "Okay, I'll take the script to the office tomorrow and let Lao Teng and the others review it!"

Because the organizer is Yanying Studio, the final review of the script must be done by Yanying Studio, and the adaptation fee will also be paid by Yanying Studio.

As expected, I received the 2,000 yuan script adaptation fee!

"I think it's okay!" Xie Jin lit a big front door and said, "But I still need to discuss the storyboard draft with you, Xuemin!"

There is no director's job, all the work is done by the original author. As a director, Xie Jin is the soul of a movie. The filming of the movie must not be determined by the screenwriter!
He must have his own ideas and directing methods, and these must be communicated carefully with Cheng Xuemin, the original author and screenwriter.

"I think it's okay! Then you two can discuss it first. I'll go out and buy some food and wine, and then we can just eat at home tonight. Is that ok?"

Feng Jiazhao then suggested.

"I think it's okay. No need to make a fuss. We can just eat something casually!" Xie Jin nodded, not forgetting to say a polite word.

Just like that, when Feng Jiazhao went out to buy groceries, he found that his parents had not come back yet, so he trotted out without saying goodbye and did not dare to ride his bicycle.

In the room, Xie Jin was a chatterbox and a heavy smoker, smoking one cigarette after another.

Fortunately, Feng Jiayou didn't come back tonight, otherwise Cheng Xuemin would have kicked him out and sucked him outside.

The whole house was filled with smoke and full of second-hand smoke!
When Feng's father and mother came back together, they found black smoke coming out of the room of their son-in-law and daughter in the east wing!
Mother Feng was so frightened that her face turned pale and she shouted, "The fire is coming! The fire is coming! Hurry up and put out the fire!"
