Wen Shu had just returned to Xuancheng to report for duty when Qi Qianchen hurled several planning proposals at her, leaving her no chance to breathe.
She looked at the plans carefully and marked the areas where she had opinions with different colored pens. She suddenly remembered that they had gone through the same process at the beginning, with a lot of ideas, and once they had an inspiration, they would discuss it day and night. Later, as Wen Shu gradually matured and developed his own thinking and methods, they discussed less.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. After watching almost everything, she asked her own question: "Why are all the social themes unified this time?"
Qi Qianchen explained: "It's like this, I was inspired by "Broken Wings", and I think you should transform."
Wen Shu didn't quite understand: "Transformation?"
"Yes!" Qi Qianchen gestured for Wen Shu to sit down. "Your previous works were all cute, but the themes were usually not deep enough. Your "Broken Wings" can be said to have unexpectedly planted willows and formed a good foundation for your transformation. What's more, in terms of the current situation, realistic themes have not been mentioned by many people yet, which is an absolute advantage for you."
“So you’re asking me to cater to the market?”
"You could say that."
"'Broken Wings' was just an accidental event, but you treated it as an inevitable event. Don't you think it's inconsiderate ? As you said, I am good at writing girls' stories. You suddenly asked me to change. I need to completely change my way of thinking about story creation, and I also need to persuade my readers to accept my new story. I think you should have read the comments section of 'Broken Wings'. It was very polarized before the real change. If I really change, I can't predict the consequences, and I can't bear it."
"You don't have to worry about the story, we have a professional team. As for the reader acceptance issue, I don't think it's as serious as you say. You have so many fans, there's really no need to consider everyone."
"So you're asking me to print out other people's stories like a printer? My readers don't need respect either?"
"You're thinking the wrong way!" Seeing that Wen Shu was about to get angry again, Qi Qianchen quickly comforted him, "I mean that you are in the early stages of transformation, so we can work together."
Wen Shu snorted coldly: "No need, I only draw stories that inspire me, this is my bottom line and principle."
Qi Qianchen frowned and waved at Wen Shu: "Alright, alright, go out first and think about it."
After leaving Qi Qianchen's office, Xiao Chen immediately went to Wen Shu and said, "You finally came back!"
Wen Shu took a few steps back to avoid her enthusiasm: "Has anything happened during this period of time?"
Xiao Chen stammered, "Yes, there is, but Mr. Qi won't let me tell you..."
Wen Shu thought for a moment and asked, "Is it related to "Broken Wings"? "
"How do you know!"
"So, tell me!"
Half a minute later, Wen Shu found out what happened. It turned out that Qi Qianchen was blacklisted by the other company because she regretted publishing "Broken Wings", and because of the damage to his reputation due to this incident, he directly or indirectly lost contracts for several works.
Wen Shu was surprised that she didn't know all this!
"Don't tell me I told you!" Xiao Chen begged.
Wen Shu understood: "I know, I will find a chance to thank him. I 'll go back first."
"All right."
At night, Wen Shu studied the plans for a long time and was a little unsure whether she should follow Qi Qianchen's opinion, so she called Yu Qianlin for his opinion.
After all, a bystander sees more clearly.
At this time, Yu Qianlin happened to be lying on the sofa in a daze. When he returned home, he felt that the house was extremely deserted, but Wen Shu's shadow was everywhere. He regretted pretending to be generous and letting Wen Shu go. When the phone rang happily, he didn't want to answer it at all, but when he saw from the corner of his eye that it was Wen Shu's call, he immediately sat up.
"Study!"
Wen Shu asked: "Can I ask you a question?"
"You say!" As soon as he heard Wen Shu's voice, Yu Qianlin felt that his silent heart became active again.
"that is……"
Wen Shu finished speaking quickly, and Yu Qianlin quickly summarized the key points: "Wen Shu, I don't understand your professional matters, but as a reader, although I hope that the author I like will draw the works I like, I hope that she can face each of her works happily and attentively, so that the works will have soul."
"It seems to make some sense." Wen Shu pondered. She had never thought of this before.
"There must be a reason !" Yu Qianlin changed his tone, "By the way, Qi Qianchen is too unreliable!"
Wen Shu retorted: "These are two different things. You and he just have different positions and professions."
"But as an editor, shouldn't he also take these aspects into consideration?" What Yu Qianlin did not explain was that Qi Qianchen might not have failed to consider these things, but he had tasted the sweetness of "Broken Wings" and was reluctant to give up easily.
"Yu Qianlin!" Wen Shu was a little angry. She had just learned that Qi Qianchen had lost his credibility because of her , and was still reflecting on whether she had wronged him.
"You still want to protect him?" Yu Qianlin was depressed. Was she blind or blind in heart?
Wen Shu argued: "I know you are doing this for my own good, but you can't always deny how good he is to me! He is a benefactor to me and someone I can trust. Besides, I can decide many things on my own!"
"Okay! Then you go and trust and rely on him!" Yu Qianlin hung up the phone with a snap, his chest heaving with anger.
Late at night, street food stalls.
Zuo Rang looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. Officer Yu, who was always self-disciplined, actually asked him to drink?
"Hey, are you okay?" He poked Yu Qianlin with his finger.
Yu Qianlin didn't answer, but just drank in silence.
"No way... Let me guess, is it related to Wen Shu?"
The drinker paused and continued to drink.
“Sure enough!” Zuo Rang said “tsk” and snatched the wine glass from Yu Qianlin’s hand, “Don’t drink it, it’s no big deal!”
"What do you know!" Yu Qianlin's eyes seemed to be red from drinking, and he muttered: "She said he was someone she could trust, then what about me? Who am I? I'm still her boyfriend!"
"Did Wen Shu say that?" Zuo Rang was shocked. Wen Shu was really cruel.
"Not only did she say that, but she also complained that I was meddling in her business ." He grabbed the glass and took another sip.
Zuo Rang advised: "No, Wen Shu may have just said it without meaning it , so don't take it to heart." The two people finally met again after many setbacks, and no one wanted them to have a rift because of these little things.
"Haha, saying something without meaning it? I think she is speaking from the bottom of her heart !" Yu Qianlin felt aggrieved.
She refused his help from the beginning, even when she was in the most difficult time , and he felt guilty about it, thinking that he couldn't help. But she ignored him as her boyfriend and relied on others, and even regarded him as a benefactor!
"Alright, alright, let's drink, eh? I'll accompany you!" Zuo Rang saw that Yu Qianlin was getting more and more agitated, so he wisely stopped talking.
The word "love" is like drinking water, only the person who drinks it knows whether it is hot or cold. He is still a mess himself, how can he enlighten others?
Yu Qianlin had a dream that night, and he dreamed about what happened six years ago. Wen Shu's face was livid, and she said resolute words, but in the end, she fell from the hospital building because she couldn't bear the weight. He didn't even have time to stop her, and watched her lying in a pool of blood, losing her life.
After waking up from his dream, Yu Qianlin looked at the silver moon outside the window and smoked half a pack of cigarettes before he calmed down a little bit. He suddenly wanted to call Wen Shu, but he didn't want to disturb her. After laughing at himself, he leaned against the bed and sat there until dawn.
In the following days, the two seemed to be holding each other's breath, and neither of them paid attention to the other. The days passed as usual, and no one noticed their abnormality.
Wen Shu's "Broken Wings" became more and more popular after being reposted by several authoritative accounts. After thinking about it for a while, Wen Shu decided to speed up the update process.
This move caused many netizens to applaud and say it was very exciting.
Many people on Weibo sent Wen Shu private messages asking her if she would be willing to insert advertisements in "Broken Wings". Wen Shu rejected all of them with one sentence: "Broken Wings" is a public welfare film and will not insert any commercial advertisements."
Although he received many "ungrateful" responses, Wen Shu just laughed them off.
She can't decide for others, but at least she hopes to keep her original intention.
