Director Loves No One

When Chu Xiaxing went to Yanchuan City, it was the peak of her career. That year she was full of energy, and she had shaken off many of the labels that restrained her, leaving a well-known name in the industry. She did not choose to marry and have children, but was full of ambitions, determined to take one step further.

At that time, the mainland film market was far less developed than Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas. She had seen the superior production conditions outside, and what she wanted most was undoubtedly a soil belonging to mainland filmmakers, so she was invited to meet Duan Hui in Yanchuan City.

Even though she and Xu Xiancheng occasionally quarreled and competed in the Mainland, they both share the same hesitation on the international stage. That is, individual success does not mean anything, and they still feel a little lonely when they go abroad. They did make excellent films, but the international status of Chinese-language films will never depend on one person or one work alone. The gap still exists.

Just after the summer heat that year, Chu Xiaxing boarded the train alone and headed to the remote city of Yanchuan. She is a character that can endure hardships. She has seen many dangerous places in the crew, but there is no inconvenience in traffic. After Chu Xiaxing walked out of the train station, she had to take a car to reach Yanchuan City, and the car was also a luxury at the time.

There was a little chaos outside the train station, and from time to time pedestrians looked at Chu Xiaxing, who made her look trendy.

Chu Xiaxing looked around, she used her scarf to block her face, and she quickly selected the person to talk to, and took the initiative to find the truck driver next to her, and said frankly, "Are you going to Yanchuan? Take me for a ride. ."

The truck driver originally smoked outside. He looked at Chu Xiaxing, who was dressed in extraordinary clothes, and said in a daze, "No, sister, I want to buy goods..."

Chu Xiaxing reached out from under the scarf, revealing the paper money, and calmly said: "It won't affect the purchase of goods behind you. Besides, I should be worth more than the goods."

When the truck driver saw the money, his eyes lit up, he immediately squeezed the cigarette out, and happily replied: "Okay, bright, get in the car!"

Chu Xiaxing opened the door and got on the car without saying a word. Her quick and calm movements made the driver quite impressed. The truck driver is just a bit bad. He may always drive without anyone talking. Whenever he meets someone, he will get rid of him. If there is nothing wrong on the way, he will ask questions.

"Sister, are you not a local? How come you go to Yanchuan alone?"

"You are not a local," Chu Xiaxing corrected. "And don't call me that, I should be older than you."

The truck driver felt that Chu Xiaxing was still young, so he looked surprised and said: "No, what do you belong to?"

After Chu Xiaxing finished talking about her own zodiac signs, the truck driver was already confused, and changed his words hurriedly: "Sister, really sister, I can't tell at all..."

Chu Xiaxing was too lazy to take care of the other party's fuss. She asked the truck driver to send herself there. One reason was that the other party had a car, and the other was that the freight was still profitable. He didn't need to take risks and abduct himself. At this time, the freight driver was fairly knowledgeable and made a lot of money. The two of them were fine and still chattering and bragging.

The freight driver originally wanted to brag about the story on the way he was transporting the goods. Who would have thought that Chu Xiaxing would turn his head and tell him a better story about the crew. Anyway, the two of them didn't know each other's true identities, they just brag on the road. Chu Xiaxing has an extraordinary temperament, and holds the big brother in his hand. At first glance, he is either rich or expensive, and quickly wins the opponent by pretending.

The freight driver glanced at his elder brother enviously: "Sister, this thing is like a brick. How much does it cost? I'll make one another day!"

Chu Xiaxing: "I don't know, I haven't bought it from someone else."

"Can this be delivered casually?" The freight driver said sourly, "We are both surnamed Chu, we are our own family anyway, let me introduce the next way to my brother!"

Many things are not easy to buy at this time, and money may not be available. Chu Xiaxing and the truck driver didn't exchange names. The other party only found that they had the same surname, and immediately became known as his family, and wanted to establish a relationship.

Chu Xiaxing's ears were cocooned by him. She found that this person was not bad at heart, and she said impatiently: "Drive well, haven't you arrived yet?"

"Come on, it's coming soon, but if you want me to say you shouldn't go there, the scenery of Yanchuan is really good, but it's not suitable to go there."

"why?"

"The woman's status over there is not high. It's really not convenient for you to go there alone...that's not in the city!"

Chu Xiaxing didn't have a deep impression of the drivers who met Pingshui. At that time, they seemed to be talking a lot of nonsense in the car. Anyway, they covered all kinds of topics, from astronomy and geography to bragging, down to the parents with short names.

When Chu Xiaxing left Yanchuan, he happened to ran into the driver who had finished selling the goods, and the other party had cash in his hand. At that time, she couldn't go back to Yanchuan to check, asking him to bring the money to Duan Hui's family during the next shipment, which was a little relief from her worries at the time.

She had to forget some details, but when Xie Zhaoyan reminded her, she remembered it.

In the warehouse, Chu Xiaxing suddenly had a bright light. She hurried back upstairs, took out the old photos from the cabinet, and handed them to Xie Zhaoyan, asking, "Is this this person?"

This is a family photo left by Chu Xiaxin. She felt familiar at first, but she didn't know the reason.

Xie Zhaoyan looked at the photo. She pondered for a long time and nodded and said: "It seems to be this man. I saw you and him when I went to Yanchuan, so I still have some impression..."

Xie Zhaoyan's memory of Yanchuan City is that of the disillusioned Director Chu and the man who bought the big brother. Since she hasn't quarreled with Chu Xiaxing for many years, she remembers the details of the day very clearly, and there is no such thing as muddled.

The speculation in Chu Xiaxing's heart was confirmed by his friends. Only then did he understand why Song Wenye repayed his favor. It turned out that the truck driver was Chu Xiaxin's father!

Although Chu Xiaxing said at the time that it was repaying a small amount of snack money, the money was no less than a huge sum of money, no wonder Xie Zhaoyan was angry. Xie Zhaoyan felt that Chu Xiaxing had a hot head, but she thought that the life of her friend was the most important thing. As long as she could coax her away from Yanchuan, nothing else was a big deal.

It stands to reason that the truck driver was transporting the goods from other places and had nothing to do with the local Duan Hui's family. However, he was entrusted by Chu Xiaxing to search for people, which brought the two parties into contact!

"I just said how this incident could be returned to my hands, it turned out not to be a coincidence..." Chu Xiaxing thoughtfully looked at the old photos. She always felt that it was a coincidence to come into contact with the Yanchuan project again, but she didn't want to have long ago. Inextricably linked.

She thought that leaving Yanchuan meant the end, but she did not expect that the underground buds would break the ground in a few decades, and even grow better than she thought. The place she walked all the way seemed deserted, but in fact, greenery sprouted after she set foot.

When Xie Zhaoyan heard Chu Xiaxing's ins and outs, she was equally astonished: "Is there still such a relationship? That Duan Hui son really should ask you to film more, this money is also very inflationary, and you have to consider the rate of return on investment... …"

Xie Zhaoyan really admires the luck of Director Chu, but she also understands her friend's hot and cold outside, at least she can't do such a thing by herself, let alone bury such magical cause and effect. Most people will protect themselves wisely, just like Xie Zhaoyan advised to leave Chu Xiaxing at the time.

Chu Xiaxing: "This story tells us that only by doing good can we have good capital?"

After Chu Xiaxing sighed, she collected Chu Xiaxin's family photos, and began to read Yanchuan's folk literature. She intends to draw inspiration from it, and then find a mature screenwriter to plan a story and tailor a script for the studio.

Yanchuan Film and Television City needs several heavyweight works to support it, and film shooting must be considered during the construction process, so there is a follow-up collection link.

Chu Xiaxing talked about a local story with Duan Hui back then, but she can't remember it now, so she naturally wants to review some information.

Xie Zhaoyan watched her find suitable works, and said: "You have to start preparing the script? It will take at least half a year."

Chu Xiaxing: "More than that, if the collection time is longer, it is estimated that it will take longer to write the story."

It will take time to build the scene of Yanchuan Film and Television City. Ideally, multiple projects are advanced at the same time. This is also the reason why Duan Hui invited Chu Xiaxing in the first place. She is a well-known high-yield model worker with a stronger ability to control multiple projects. Some directors can't wait to make a movie for ten years, which may not be able to drive the development of the studio.

Xie Zhaoyan: "Anyway, the preparation of the project will take time. I think you can make other scenes to warm up first. The Studio City can not only promote one scene..."

Chu Xiaxing raised her head: "What? You want to recommend me a good book suitable for Yanchuan? What is the main line and ending?"

Chu Xiaxing heard Xie Zhaoyan's overtones, and the other party seemed to have been prepared long ago, with a script that is about to take shape.

Xie Zhaoyan said slowly: "The main line is the growth history of a female director, and the end is that she builds a film and television city."

Chu Xiaxing: "?"

After seeing Chu Xiaxing’s warehouse, Xie Zhaoyan started to move around again. She persevered in lobbying and said softly, “Isn’t this enough? You can also shoot during the construction of the studio, and even the budget for setting up the scene can be kept down.”

Xie Zhaoyan knows what Director Chu cares about. She comes up with the budget to say things, hoping that the other party can agree.

Xie Zhaoyan wanted to shoot a biopic of Chu Xiaxing. The original reason was indeed to miss her friend, but she also felt that the other party had a story foundation in her heart. Chu Xiaxing was an apostate back then, and many of her words and deeds are still meaningful today and have the foundation of female films.

Xie Zhaoyan didn't cooperate with her husband Xu Xiancheng again because she wanted to play a truly brilliant woman, and the first candidate in her mind was Chu Xiaxing. Actors have a keen sense of good roles, and Xie Zhaoyan firmly believes that her judgment is right.

"Why don't you say that the script fee can be lowered? Just copy it directly from my Baidu Encyclopedia." Chu Xiaxing couldn't help but complain. "And I messed up in Yanchuan in my previous life. You don't know the actual situation. Biopics are not yet available. In line with historical facts?"

Xie Zhaoyan: "It's okay, we're ignoring the characters and background. After all, you are still alive. It is better to be cautious to avoid you sue me for slander."

Chu Xiaxing: "???" Is this human? Dare to love me, can you spread rumors?
