Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

At the end of June, after Lin Yu returned from his graduation ceremony.

The filming of "The Ferryman" quickly entered its final stage.

Since Lin Yu's scenes were mostly finished, he suddenly had some free time, and was occasionally called by Ju Xingmao to film.

In contrast, Ju Xingmao and Guo Shimin have been extremely busy these past few days, barely having a moment to spare.

However, Lin Yu waited and waited but did not receive any further news about "Gu Jian Qi Tan". Instead, Li Yitong brought him a message.

"A short film?" Lin Yu asked, somewhat surprised.

With the rise of video websites, micro-films have become quite popular.

"Yes, I've told the company that I'm preparing to go back to Beijing in the next couple of days. What do you think? Are you coming or not?" Li Yitong's voice was filled with anticipation.

Lin Yu stroked his chin, hesitated for a moment, and then quickly nodded: "That works too."

In his previous life, he hadn't paid much attention to exactly when Jia Nailiang went on strike, but judging from the current stagnant state of Weibo, it would probably take some more days.

Even if the shooting time for a short film is extended, half a month is definitely enough.

Moreover, this is a short film shot from the female lead's perspective.

It's just that the amount of money is a bit small, only two thousand yuan, but since Li Yitong has asked, he agreed to it to be accommodating.

···

Next, Lin Yu told Ju Xingmao about it, and Ju Xingmao quickly adjusted the filming schedule.

Just before the end of June, Lin Yu hastily announced the wrap-up of filming.

The very next day, he went to the address Li Yitong had given him.

···

"Zhou Nan."

"Lin Yu." Lin Yu looked at the rather mature man in front of him with slight surprise.

He had heard of this person in his previous life. He was a late bloomer in the directing world, having worked hard for several years before his co-directed film "Northbound" became a huge hit.

Although it may not seem like it's making a splash yet, its potential is gradually starting to emerge, and its resume is quite impressive.

"Speaking of which, you should call me senior. I'm a master's student from Beijing Film Academy." Zhou Nan sat to the side, looking at the handsome young man opposite him with great interest.

Lin Yu was taken aback, but readily seized the opportunity: "Senior Zhou, how about it? Shall we give it a try?"

Zhou Nan waved his hand, smiling, "No need, I still have great faith in our junior's professional abilities."

This short film doesn't actually require much acting skill from the male lead. According to the information Li Yitong provided, he was quite satisfied with Lin Yu.

Although he originally wanted to just find any student to play the role, since that would save him some money.

However, when Lin Yu's identity as a signed artist was revealed, he quickly agreed.

It's okay to spend more money; at least Lin Yu has experience playing the male lead.

"So, what are we doing here...?"

Lin Yu sounded somewhat confused, and Li Yitong, who was nervous for him, was also a little bewildered.

Zhou Nan smiled without saying a word, then turned and extended his hand to introduce, "This is Jian Yiwen, our screenwriter teacher."

Upon hearing the name, Lin Yu was taken aback. He had heard of this name in his previous life; the person was a screenwriter who had made significant contributions to idol dramas.

So this short film is really full of talented people.

"Hello, screenwriter." Lin Yu and Li Yitong greeted each other in unison, their attitudes quite respectful.

Jian Yiwen nodded: "I called you here today for no other reason than to ask for your opinions on the script."

Her tone was calm. As a part-time writer for Youku, she had been assigned to micro-film creation since the merger of the two companies.

Ever since she created this book, she has always felt that something is not quite right, but she has asked many people for advice.

In the end, only Zhou Nan was able to say one thing: the script seems to be incomplete.

However, the plot has its ups and downs, and some parts cannot be filmed too explicitly, so these days have really made her feel uncomfortable for a long time.

Li Yitong nodded, but quickly said, "I think this script is great, the story is very exciting."

Lin Yu chuckled to himself; these were the polite words he had taught him.

Hearing this, Jian Yiwen was somewhat disappointed, but still nodded.

This inquiry was indeed somewhat like asking a blind man for directions, since these two are, after all, just actors.

Seeing the slightly disappointed expression on the other side, Lin Yu raised an eyebrow and then spoke in a low voice.

"I do think this story seems a bit abrupt."

"Oh?" Jian Yiwen's eyes lit up, and he looked up at Lin Yu. Director Zhou Nan, who was standing next to him, also raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"The script says that the story is about a couple whose love has come to an end, so they agree to forget each other in one hundred days."

"But the theme is really not obvious. It was only explicitly mentioned once in the middle. The two should have broken up, but reading the script, I thought I was the one who cheated."

Lin Yu felt somewhat embarrassed.

To be honest, this script is really too immature, let alone compared to Little Lucky Star.

Even many idol dramas from later generations are more logical than it.

However, there's no other way; this is the current state of micro-films and web series.

The quality varies greatly, somewhat like panning for gold in the dung.

"Go on," Jian Yiwen said, her voice filled with anticipation.

Zhou Nan, standing to the side, looked at Lin Yu with a smile. He could see the problem with the script all too well.

However, as a director, he really couldn't pinpoint exactly what the problem was with the script.

"Then I'll continue." Lin Yu took a sip of tea, met Li Yitong's adoring cat-like eyes, and chuckled.

"Actually, I think the interaction between the male and female leads is fine, and the theme is okay too, but could we change some other content?"

Lin Yu spoke rather cautiously, because for some screenwriters, no matter who it is or why, they will definitely object if their script is changed.

Looking at Jian Yiwen's thoughtful expression, it was clear that she, who was currently only a literary consultant, had not yet contracted those bad habits.

"Let me offer a suggestion: since we're focusing on a social hot topic like adolescent pain, why not just start with a braking sound or the muffled sounds of hospital equipment?"

"After that, the psychologist said to the female lead, 'I will be counseling you for the next hundred days. Will it be better to film the rest of the content after that?'"

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiwen was taken aback at first, then became slightly excited.

"That's right! Let's clarify the topic first. How could I forget that? Kobayashi, you're right!"

As she spoke, she picked up her bag and said, "You guys chat first, I have an idea, I'm going to go back and revise it."

Zhou Nan nodded blankly, his eyes filled with surprise and complexity.

"You're pretty good, junior." He offered a straightforward compliment, but kept the rest to himself.

You're the first person to have the screenwriter kill you off right from the start!
