Wu Yaqiu and Zhang Guozhu looked at each other. Although Ye Ning's creation of the script could not be hidden sooner or later, they could not tell it now, as that would only irritate Li Xiao even more.
"I have handed over the new script to Producer Sun, who also held a meeting to discuss it and unanimously approved it."
Wu Yaqiu just wanted to let Li Xiao know that the selection of a new script was a fact that would not change.
Li Xiao's expression was extremely ugly, and the veins on the back of the hand holding the pen were pulsing.
So he deliberately gave them two days off just to do this? !
"Director Wu, what do you think Screenwriter She and I are? We have spent two years of energy and hard work, and the script is about to be completed. Now you tell us that our script is no longer needed?"
Her voice was trembling violently because of anger, and she was completely unable to accept such a result.
Wu Yaqiu can understand her mood, but reality is often cruel. It does not mean that as long as you pay, there will be rewards.
"I feel sorry for them too, so after discussing with Producer Sun, I will give you two appropriate compensation."
Li Xiao growled angrily: "What we want is not money."
As long as the script can be made into a movie, they can enter the international film and television industry. Even if they fail to win awards in the end, it will be enough to take their popularity to a higher level.
This is what she really wants.
Wu Yaqiu's face was full of apologies and regrets. Everything that needed to be said had been said. The only thing left for them to do was to slowly calm down and accept this reality.
"Screenwriter She, please say something too!" Li Xiao excitedly signaled to She Hongming that this was not her problem alone.
She Hongming seemed much calmer than her, "Director Wu, can you tell us whose script you used? Can we take a look at the script?"
There are only a handful of screenwriters in China who are capable of writing good scripts, and it will definitely be someone they know.
At least let them know who lost.
Li Xiao's chest kept rising and falling, and he nodded in agreement.
Wu Yaqiu looked embarrassed, "I'm sorry, you two, but the content of the script needs to be kept secret for now. As for the person who wrote the script, I can only say that you know each other."
This answer completely confirmed She Hongming's guess.
"Is it the screenwriter Qiu Feng or the screenwriter Zheng San?"
In fact, it is not difficult to guess.
But what surprised She Hongming was that Wu Yaqiu actually shook his head.
"Don't guess, you will find out later."
She Hongming's eyebrows were knotted in knots. He really didn't know who was worthy of Wu Yaqiu's protection.
"Director Wu, you won't say anything, how can we be willing to accept it?" Li Xiao still refused to let go.
Compared with her emotional instability, She Hong obviously knew what was most important now, and said in a consultative tone: "Director Wu, no matter which screenwriter it is, we have spent two years on this project, even if we don't If we need our script, can we join in the creation of a new script?"
Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and immediately changed his attitude, "Yes, Director Wu, we have been working together for so long and are very familiar with each other. We all know your thoughts and can definitely continue. cooperating."
As long as she can continue to participate in the script, she can obtain the authorship of the screenwriter. At that time, it will just be a matter of ranking, and she does not need to care about this.
Zhang Guozhu, who had never spoken a word, looked at the sincere expressions of the two people, and a sentence suddenly came to his mind.
If I had known now, why bother then.
At first, they were determined to kick Ye Ning out, fearing that Ye Ning would get the authorship of the film's screenwriter.
Well now, Ye Ning is the only screenwriter for the entire film.
And Ye Ning's meaning was already clear, he would never want these two people.
Wu Yaqiu looked at Zhang Guozhu subconsciously, and Zhang Guozhu shook his head slightly.
Wu Yaqiu could only sigh, "All the new scripts have been completed, and there is no room for others to play."
One sentence completely ended the hopes of She Hongming and Li Xiao.
"This won't work, that won't work either. Do you mean we have to recruit him and leave as soon as he comes?" Li Xiao's face turned red, and he had already reached the point where he didn't care whether he would break up with Wu Yaqiu or not.
Wu Yaqiu had already thought about the current situation, and in the end he could only say, "I'm sorry."
Li Xiao was so angry that he felt dizzy and wanted to argue, but She Hongming held him back.
"Screenwriter Li, I think Director Wu doesn't want things to turn out like this. Since there is no way to change it, let's all calm down."
"Calm down, you still want me to calm down after this? Who will compensate us for our time and energy? Director Wu doesn't want this script, right? Okay, I can give it to someone else!"
Li Xiao said harsh words in anger, but she didn't believe it and left Wu Yaqiu. They would not be able to survive in this circle!
After saying that, he grabbed the script and left angrily.
She Hongming said goodbye to Wu Yaqiu with a straight face.
As the two left, the office became quiet again.
Zhang Guozhu stood up and took the initiative to pour a glass of water for Wu Yaqiu.
I know that Wu Yaqiu must be feeling uncomfortable.
"Yaqiu, thank you for your hard work."
Wu Yaqiu took more than ten seconds to adjust her mood, and then picked up the water glass.
"We're all used to it."
He has done a lot of things to offend people over the years, but he still has to do his job.
Zhang Guozhu relaxed a little when he heard what he said.
"Screenwriter Li's reaction was so intense, there shouldn't be any problems, right?"
"What could be the problem?" Wu Yaqiu was still very cautious. Ye Ning never revealed a word of the script to Li Xiao and She Hongming from beginning to end, which saved a lot of trouble.
After all, it is essential to be on guard against others.
"Is the script really just for Screenwriter Li and others to take away?" Zhang Guozhu still felt uneasy.
After all, the conception and design of this script from the beginning were all proposed by Wu Yaqiu. Although the script does have some problems, it is definitely a rare good book.
And the most important thing is that the main selling point of this script is the same as the selling point of the script written by Ye Ning.
All of them are based on Wu Yaqiu's request and are based on the promotion of domestic martial arts culture.
If Li Xiao really gave the script to other directors and completed the film before them, then there would definitely be a conflict in subject matter.
And with Li Xiao's reputation and ability, he can definitely accomplish this.
This will definitely be a problem.
Wu Yaqiu dispelled Zhang Guozhu's worries and concerns with just one sentence.
"How can the light of fireflies compete with the bright moon?"
If Li Xiao chooses to do that, he will really become a stepping stone on Ye Ning's road to success.
