Chapter 174: Four Confidences (Ch 174)

The meeting place was arranged in a private room of a western restaurant.

When Qi Jia arrived at the agreed location, as soon as he entered the box and saw the people around Yang Mi clearly, he was completely confused.

With his height, no matter where he sat, Qi Jia wanted to turn around and shout to the waiter,

“A baby stool here please.”

Could it be that Yang Mi was planning to let him be the director? Qi Jia was well-known for the names of the four directors.

He is not only a writer and chairman, but also a famous director.

Although the movies he directed were warmly evaluated by the audience as: if you tie a dog to the set, it can shoot better than the four directors,

But it does not prevent him from being very popular with investors. The reason is that although every movie he made had a bad reputation, it was a huge hit at the box office.

It is no wonder that capital favors such a person who is both obedient and able to make money for himself.

“Sister Mi~”

Since he was already here, and this was a dinner party organized by Yang Mi’s group, Qi Jia naturally couldn’t just leave.

“Qi Jia, this is the fourth director. I believe I don’t need to introduce him in detail.”

Yang Mi didn’t notice the strangeness in Qi Jia’s expression, and said with a smile,

“Hello, Director Four. I’ve heard of you for a long time. I’m honored to have starred in one of your works.”

Don’t hit a smiling person. Qi Jia made an expression of pride and took the initiative to stand up and greet him.

The fourth director had been sizing up Qi Jia from the beginning and was very satisfied with his attitude at this moment, so he smiled and said,

“Haha Qi Jia, I’ve been following you since you starred in “A River of Sadness”. You young people are great.”

As he spoke, he took the initiative to reach out his hand to Qi Jia. Looking at the hand in front of him that was more feminine than a woman’s,

I also remembered what was said online, that Director Four not only likes children to pull big carts, but also has a habit of using the back door.

Some even said that several male protagonists who had joined his crew had been favored by him. When Qi Jia thought of that scene, he resisted it from the bottom of his heart.

But for Yang Mi’s sake, he had no choice but to give a dry laugh, stretched out his hand, and lowered his head to hide the twitching expression on his face.

Fortunately, the four directors did not do anything out of the ordinary.

After shaking hands, they sat down again. At this time, Yang Mi said,

“Qi Jia, Director Four liked your script very much after reading it.

So, I asked you to come here today because I wanted us to talk and see if there is any possibility of cooperation. “

After Yang Mi finished speaking, the fourth director spoke again with reserve,

“Actually, a good script is one thing. Originally, I didn’t plan to shoot another youth romance film.

After all, I have been dominating this track for a long time.

However, the recently released “Better Days” does make me feel a little interesting.

So when I heard Mi Mi talking about it, I wanted to come out and meet you.

However, I have two conditions. If you agree, I will help you for Mi Mi’s sake.”

Qi Jia listened attentively with an extremely focused smile on his face, but he was actually already selling his mother in his heart.

With just those few films you made, do you have the nerve to compare them with “Better Days”?

You have been dominating the youth-themed charts for many years. Who topped the charts? Fish Leong?

With your conditions in mind, go back and drink milk!

I think so, but I can’t say it that way. After all, the entertainment industry is about human relationships, not fighting and killing.

“Thank you, Director Four. I wonder what conditions you have?”

Qi Jia pretended to be sincere and asked,

At the same time, I decided in my heart that no matter how excessive his demands were, I must not get angry and must refuse tactfully.

But what he never expected was that this troublemaker was not here to make demands, he was here to usurp the throne!

“First of all, although the script is good, the plot is still a little lacking;

We can insert a few more small subplots in the movie, such as the heroine accidentally got pregnant in high school.

But the child is not the hero’s! But the hero still stays with the heroine.

The heroine felt ashamed of the hero, so she secretly had an abortion without telling him, but she got into a car accident on the road.

We made a slight change to the story line, which can both highlight the hero’s greatness and deepen the relationship between the two. “

Qi Jia and Yang Mi were both stunned by these words, but Director Four paid no attention to them.

Still immersed in the shit he had come up with, when he got to the exciting part, he clapped his hands excitedly,

“A man who doesn’t even care whether the child is his own, doesn’t that show how much he likes the heroine?

Only in this way can it be explained why the male protagonist sacrifices himself again and again and travels back in time to save the female protagonist!

Instead of the original plot, where the two were just childhood sweethearts and hadn’t even confessed their love,

In this way, the hero sacrificed his life again and again to travel back to save the heroine, and in the end he was even willing to be a stranger.

This is ridiculous! This is really ridiculous. Such a good book is wasted!”

At the end, the fourth director sighed with regret, as if he was a senior looking at the juniors who were not living up to their expectations.

“Si Er, isn’t your change a bit too sentimental? I think the original plot is pretty good.”

Yang Mi said tactfully, what do you mean by too sentimental? Translated, it means outdated.

Seeing her hesitant and embarrassed expression, Qi Jia understood more or less.

It is estimated that before Yang Mi organized this dinner, she had no idea that Director Four had such conditions.

Unexpectedly, when the fourth director heard that Yang Mi had different opinions on his ideas, he did not hesitate.

With a wave of his hand, he said like a domineering president,

“Mi Mi, you are a good actor and you can also be a good boss.

But you are neither a good director nor a good screenwriter. I am professional in this area.

I don’t want you to feel, I want me to feel, OK?”

After saying that, he ignored Yang Mi’s embarrassed expression and pointed at Qi Jia and said,

“Look, Qi Jia doesn’t have any objections, right? So, the truth is often in the hands of professionals.”

Qi Jia remembered that this sentence should not be said like this,

The correct statement seems to be that the truth is often in the hands of those who hold the gun.

But he was too lazy to correct her, so he just smiled and didn’t respond, but asked curiously,

“Fourth Director, what’s one more condition?”

Seeing that Qi Jia seemed to agree with his idea, the fourth director became more and more satisfied with him.

When he asked this question, I remembered the main purpose of coming here today.

Filming was just a matter of convenience, and the next thing was the reason why he looked for Qi Jia today.

“The second condition is a great thing for you.”

“Oh, isn’t the first condition a good thing?” Yang Mi, who was embarrassed by the fourth director, lost his temper and said something sarcastic.

Before the fourth director could finish his sentence, he was suddenly interrupted by Yang Mi.

The uncomfortable feeling was like someone sticking a stick into his throat, pushing the words back out of his mouth.

He was choked so much that he rolled his eyes and coughed twice in embarrassment.
