Chapter 68: Beyond, beyond, life will no longer have standards...

Xu Shen originally set aside November to January this year as a time to pester Li Su and go on vacation with her, but after Li Su changed her mind, she arranged for these three months to supervise her project.

According to Xu Shen's schedule, the team's shooting date was set, and Li Su led the entire team to start the preliminary preparations.

From a cooperating person to a decision-maker, countless departments needed to make appointments with her, synchronize progress with her, and confirm the direction.

Li Su began to find that time became very unusable, and it also virtually raised the efficiency requirements of all departments.

The words were more precise and sharper, and she had no time to consider the feelings of those she denied. She became another high-density machine.

It was another week of screenwriters' regular meeting. Li Su took the sample manuscripts they handed in, and her eyes wandered over the young girls. Although they had been in contact for less than two months, she looked at the things everyone handed in now, and she was still a little surprised that they were so bad.

——Perhaps we should hire those experienced, relatively mature assistant screenwriters who have been in charge of several episodes.

Li Su couldn't help but waver, but the next moment, she swept away those thoughts and faced it bravely.

Deep in her heart, Li Su still hoped that she would get the opportunity to touch her dream in the year of graduation, so this time, she recruited freshly graduated, immature, positive, and energetic college students majoring in drama, film and television literature.

When sorting out the characters she wrote for everyone and helping everyone understand and grasp the story, Li Su looked at everyone desperately pecking at rice. She did have expectations, but she didn't expect that some people still stayed in the cognition of reading by rote and admiring themselves...

Huh——

It's okay, it's okay. We have to give everyone a chance to set sail and time to grow.

Li Su adjusted her mentality and looked at the six people with bright eyes, looking at her together, expecting her recognition.

Ah! Handing over a pile of shit, and still expecting her to carve it? Li Su really couldn't be gentle this time.

Ignoring everyone's pleasing smiles, Li Su was almost expressionless.

Li Su believed that there must be something wrong. Her tone was very sure: "Have you compared each other's episodes privately and unified them secretly? So if one person doesn't understand it thoroughly, everyone will fail."

After being hit by her stick, everyone immediately realized that something was wrong. They looked at each other, their expressions changed drastically, and they nervously lowered their heads, pretending to be obediently being scolded.

Li Su took the manuscript and knocked on the table again and again.

Each person was responsible for one episode, and the six copies were like one. Now the problems were similar, so she couldn't distinguish anyone's highlights and shining points.

Li Su could see that there was an immature "chief screenwriter" who helped her unify these episodes.

But! The problem is! Have you compared it with the correct answer? Just start to annotate everyone? Where does the confidence come from...

No official and no responsibility, but power and addiction.

Li Su pondered, she looked at the performance of several people, and rubbed her head with a headache.

Li Su: "What are you doing? Is it an exam? Or do you think that we should do well together or do badly together, and that the blame should not be placed on everyone? I didn't say that the worst performer should be expelled, right? Is it really that serious?"

The six people couldn't guess what Li Su was thinking. Some rubbed their hands, some touched their pens, and each felt helpless .

Lexie, who was the most courageous, quietly shook her head left and right. She looked at the people around her, hesitated for a while, and still pursed her lips and said nothing.

Li Su took in everything, feeling a little regretful, but also understanding her.

Standing up at this time would indeed make her seem less sociable, and even if things went wrong, it would arouse collective psychological stress, and she would probably still be isolated.

However, once a person tries to follow the crowd, he

is doomed to fail to stand out. If you want to be the fastest growing and the one who takes the lead, you must stand up and risk being isolated and slandered by rumors.

For example, Li Su, looking back on her past, how many people have pointed at her back and her face, scolded her, and slandered her.

However, none of these people dragged Li Su's hands and feet. Even if she was knocked down, she would continue to crawl forward.

Never giving up and persevering made Li Su a screenwriter and producer at the age of 26.

"Don't you have anything to say?" Li Su held both ends of the script with both hands.

The air was quiet for a while, and no one was ready to answer her.

Li Su did not hesitate any more. With both hands behind her back, she folded the sample scripts handed to her in half and tore them up in front of all the screenwriters below.

"Hiss--" One of the girls raised her head first. She looked at Li Su's two hands, each holding half of the script. She almost couldn't hold back and burst into tears on the spot.

Perhaps because Li Su was usually approachable and not mean, the girl was so hurt that she couldn't help but choke Li Su: "Isn't this too disrespectful?"

In an instant, the two sides were at loggerheads and fiercely stalemate.

"Uh... cough cough cough!" Lexie went to get a tissue and deliberately made some noise to cover it up.

Oh my god! What kind of socially deadly scene is this? She was talking to the boss in front of everyone, trying to save his face and make her lose face. She had too many good days.

Could she not tell the difference between the big and small ones? "Sister, is it possible that we did a bad job and the boss is really angry? Don't argue anymore. Just beg for kindness... ok?" Lexie stuffed the tissue paper to the girl and reminded her secretly.

Seeing the girl turned away honestly and cowardly, Lexie was relieved and turned back to secretly glance at Li Su.

Who would have thought that Li Su's face was normal, without any embarrassment or guilt. Facing sobbing, she seemed to have a natural hard heart and was indifferent.

"Let's just forget about it. No one should pick it up. Don't feel sorry. Please remember: we are not writing a novel. Don't show off your writing skills. Don't give me so many delicate lines, dialogues, and nitpicking."

"Although our film is indeed relatively fresh and elegant, it is not an art film. It is an urban youth drama. Dear 'screenwriters', please use events and everyone's reactions to let the audience see the characters clearly. Thank you."

Li Su emphasized this, gritting her teeth, as if she wanted to engrave it in everyone's mind.

To Li Su's surprise, many people raised their heads slowly after hearing her words, like plants that have drunk enough water.

This scene made Li Su affirm: Maybe everyone also doubted this style, and the original works were also different, but they were tied up by a leader who jumped out of the group, and then they were unified like this.

Huh -

Li Su put the torn script aside. She stretched out her hand to everyone and encouraged them: "This is only the version given to me. Where is your 'first edition'? If you have it, show it to me now."

What does it mean? Everyone looked at each other, still speculating and watching.

Lexie had been staring at the expression of her real boss. Seeing that Li Su was looking at her without blinking, Lexie felt like she had been given a shot of adrenaline and stood up again.

Never mind! Lexie found a new folder from her pile of documents, stood up and walked over, handing it to Li Su with both hands.

Lexie lowered her eyebrows and looked submissive, her tone was sincere, but her words were very humorous and funny. She joked: "Boss, please be gentle. Thank you for your advice. Uh uh, you can tear it off, but don't embarrass me, thank you!! "

Li Su had a tense face, like a snow lotus on a mountain.

Unexpectedly, after being teased by Lexie, she couldn't help but pull the corners of her mouth and burst out laughing.

"Hehe, haha." Everyone laughed, and the tense atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Li Su took the episode script handed by Lexie and sat down again.

She buried her head and flipped through it without distraction.

Unconsciously, several other hands in the corner of her eyes reached out and retracted again and again.

Several new scripts were quietly placed next to Li Su's hands.

Li Su counted silently, except for the little girl who was still crying, everyone handed in their original one.

Very good.

What's even better is that everyone's work reflects her understanding of the screenwriter's identity, her mastery of screenwriter skills and design, and her understanding of the role.

The five new submissions have different styles. Although there are also various immaturities, they all have their own highlights.

Li Su even saw one or two lines and understood the role thoroughly. She was touched by it: only those who are in their youth can understand youth the best. Li Su admitted that she couldn't imagine some plots anymore.

Li Su finished reading Lexie's book first. She raised her head and smiled kindly at everyone.

"I thought of a sentence my good friend said to me when I first started to be a screenwriter: 'I have to chew your writing twice before I know whether to spit it out.' Lexie's work is the same. Let's chew it together? Borrowing her treatment of the role, I will give you a deeper understanding of the whole story."

Is it a little better than the previous script?

Li Su's relaxed attitude made everyone feel relieved.

"Okay!" Everyone straightened their expressions, picked up their pens and followed Li Su's thoughts and listened carefully.

This chat lasted another afternoon.

Everyone kept raising their hands, asking questions, and colliding their ideas with each other, and found some good plots and lines for the first six episodes.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when the meeting ended.

But no one felt tired. Some people even wanted to work overtime to revise the episodes they were responsible for while their blood was hot.

Li Su looked at these faces and remembered the reason why she recruited them: maybe they didn't have a particularly outstanding writing talent, maybe they didn't have an extroverted personality that added icing on the cake, but they had an unusual obsession and love for writing and the identity of screenwriters.

This road is full of numbness and pain. But love can stop the pain. Let you have no regrets for your efforts.

"If you go home too late, remember to take a taxi." Li Su didn't disturb everyone's rhythm, didn't interfere with everyone's decision, and didn't say any polite words.

She picked up her mobile phone, transferred 200 yuan to each person for the taxi fare, put her mobile phone in her bag, and put on her bag.

Li Su looked at everyone deeply.

Including the girl who was still wiping her tears.

She did not immerse herself in sadness, but frowned, supported her head with one hand, swiped the screen with the other hand, and was still looking at the notes she had taken down, obviously digesting and understanding.

Self-learning ability is also a kind of competitiveness, and the early bird catches the worm is also a kind of competitiveness. Don't care what others think or say, and don't care whether your performance will appear too stupid.

Only by overcoming can you surpass.

Come on.

In her heart, Li Su still believes in everyone. She stood up and pushed the chair back under the table, nodding slightly to everyone.

Retracting her gaze, turning around, Li Su walked out of the office with a neat step

. Just when

she was about to reach Xu Shen's office. Lexie, who deliberately took a short time difference and sneaked out, called Li Su from behind.

"Boss!"

Li Su turned her head. Seeing Lexie's cute and adorable smile, she trotted to her.

Lexie glanced at Li Su with a sincere and grateful look. She patted her chest and assured, "Thank you for your tolerance and guidance. Don't be disappointed in us. We will work hard! We will definitely do better next time! Really."

Li Su deliberately turned his face to the side, showing a surprised expression, and teased her, "Huh? You still have the mood to thank me? The nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Your script was the one that I scolded the most. Are you really not sad or angry?"

Lexie shook her head like a rattle without hesitation. She was still laughing and answered happily: "You are not picking on me on purpose. You are guiding me and doing it for my own good. I can still tell that."

Li Su stared at her and seemed to see her former self again.

With a gentle smile as always, Li Su raised his hand and patted Lexie's shoulder gently, with comfort and affirmation.

"What I said today is just to inspire everyone and to throw out some ideas. I also hope that you can overturn everyone's solidified assumptions and create enough exciting content. Lexie, remember: there will be no standard answers in your future life. Every story, every detail, every day can be better. Surpass me."

Surpass! Surpass! Lexie looked at Li Su with bright eyes. She nodded vigorously, smiling shyly, energetic, and full of hope.

"Boss, please have some candy!" Lexie stuffed it into Li Su's palm, and Li Su subconsciously held it tightly.

Hearing the noise, Xu Shen had already taken his things and walked out of the office. Lexie glanced and saw the tall figure not far away, with the words "guarding and waiting" written on him

. Lexie did not disturb Li Su for too long. She tried to grasp the measure of handling things. After expressing her gratitude, she waved to Li Su, "Bye, boss, I'm going back."

Lexie turned around and left in a light breeze.

Li Su watched her disappear at the end of the corner. She spread her palm and saw the small piece clearly.

- Eat candy.

Chewing gum?

Li Su couldn't help laughing. She opened the package, put it in her mouth and chewed it. The sweetness of the candy overflowed. It was like some kind of unexpected surprise in life.

Huh - although the process was not particularly smooth, it was already very good.

"Buzz buzz buzz -" The phone vibrated and Li Su took out the phone from her bag and took a look.

It was Zhang Youqing who opened the phone.

She is the most important mentor in Li Su's life. She is also the "Li Su" today.

Lexie, you must keep up the good work.

Li Su, you must keep up the good work .
