Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Chen Yun and Lu Li were stunned for a moment before reacting.
“Director? Why did you suddenly think of this again?”
I didn’t realize that Xia Wanyuan was interested in this in the past.
Xia Wanyuan flipped through the script. “Is there a problem?”
When she first came to the modern world, in order to understand more about this era, Xia Wanyuan had learned through watching television dramas.
Unfortunately, those television dramas were a little shocking in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. She could not find a better-looking one.
Anyway, she was pregnant and was no longer suitable for high-intensity filming for a long time. It was not bad to transfer to the backstage as a director.
“Okay, Sister Xia. If you’re the director, the drama you film will definitely be especially good.” Lu Li, the expert drama follower, was already looking forward to it.
In her eyes, Xia Wanyuan could do the best in everything, including television dramas.
Chen Yun had no objections and this matter was decided.
“Then I’ll screen the script for you? What direction do you want??”
Xia Wanyuan thought for a while. “The last time I browsed Weibo, I saw a television drama being scolded very badly by book fans. I’ve seen that story outline before. Not bad. Help me find out what the original name of that book is.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Chen Yun immediately went to investigate.
To people who had been in the entertainment industry on Weibo all year round, Chen Yun knew how to search for keywords too well.
Once he typed in the words “adapted to look like sh*t”, a large number of Weibo posts related to these words quickly appeared.
Chen Yun took a look. Basically, most of the netizens were scolding the television drama adapted from a mythical novel, “Under the Sky”.
The worldview of the original novel was quite grand. With revenge as the main storyline, it connected the plotlines of the gods, demons, and demons. It described how three young people who grew up in different environments and worldviews grew up step by step, turned into enemies, and finally became one.
The story was actually not complicated. The reason why this television drama was boycotted by many netizens was because of its special effects.
A television drama was different from a movie.
A movie was only two hours long, so the production team could invest a lot of money in special effects and produce stunning effects.
However, a television drama with dozens of episodes could not.
Hence, few Chinese television dramas had good special effects. They were usually called noob special effects.
There were many television dramas overseas that became popular worldwide because they were willing to invest and produce exquisitely.
Such a legendary television drama had even higher requirements for special effects. The television drama that had been filmed a while ago clearly did not reach the passing mark.
The dragon was like a line dug out by the PowerPoint. When it soared into the clouds, it was as if it was flying on the ground. After the television drama came out, a large number of book fans boycotted it, thinking that it was an insult to the essence of the original work.
Xia Wanyuan looked at the main plot of the television drama and flipped through the original novel. She felt that it was not bad, so she decided. “This is it. Go and talk to the author. I still have something on, so I’ll leave first.”
“Okay.” Looking at the book “Under the Sky” in his hand, when Xia Wanyuan’s back disappeared at the door, Chen Yun could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart.
Because he was a fan of “Under the Sky”!! What a pie from the sky!
Back then, when he saw his favorite novel being filmed like that, he had also used his alternate account to scold the production team.
Now that Xia Wanyuan actually wanted to reshoot, Chen Yun was overjoyed. He immediately contacted the original novel to discuss buying the copyright.
After leaving the studio, Xia Wanyuan drove straight to Beijing Hospital.
After Jun Shiling returned, the restricted drugs had already been sent to Lin Yi. The doctor had operated on her, and now, Xia Yu was accompanying Lin Yi in the ward.
When Xia Wanyuan arrived at the ward, Xia Yu was sitting in the corridor outside with his head lowered, thinking about something.
Xia Wanyuan walked over and patted Xia Yu’s shoulder.
“Sister?” Seeing that it was Xia Wanyuan, Xia Yu let down his guard and forced a smile at her.
“How’s Lin Yi’s condition?” Xia Wanyuan sat beside Xia Yu.
“The doctor said that he’s recovering steadily. Thank you brother-in-law for the medicine.” Xia Yu felt a little tired. He leaned to the side and lay weakly on Xia Wanyuan’s shoulder.
Xia Wanyuan turned to look at Xia Yu. “Are you married to Lin Yi?”
Hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Xia Yu sat up straight. “This is what I was prepared to do. When Lin Yi wakes up, I’ll mention this to her.”
Back then, Lin Yi was injured to save him. Xia Yu was not stupid, and Lin Yi could not hide her thoughts. He naturally knew that Lin Yi liked him.
At that time, looking at Lin Yi lying on the bed on his last breath, the idea of marrying Lin Yi suddenly appeared in Xia Yu’s mind.
After all, at that time, the doctors said that Lin Yi could not survive. He wanted to fulfill Lin Yi’s wish before she died.
Xia Wanyuan patted Xia Yu’s shoulder. “It’s good that you’ve thought it through. I’ve always supported you.”
Looking at Xia Wanyuan’s clear phoenix eyes, Xia Yu nodded. “I know, Sister.”
“Then take care of her here. I’ll go back to the manor and get them to send some food over. You have to eat well.”
“Okay.” Xia Yu accompanied Xia Wanyuan out.
After sending Xia Wanyuan away, Xia Yu turned around and walked upstairs.
However, after taking two steps, he stopped.
Not far away stood Jiang Yun.
Seeing Xia Yu, Jiang Yun tightened her grip on the medicine bottle and smiled calmly. “You’re back in China?”
“Mm.” Xia Yu nodded and his gaze shifted to the medicine bottle in Jiang Yun’s hand. “Are you sick?”
Jiang Yun shook her head. “I’m taking care of my…”
Jiang Yun paused for a moment before saying, “Take care of my husband. He’s recuperating in this hospital.”
“Oh.” Xia Yu’s expression was dark. It was unknown what he was thinking. His gaze swept across Jiang Yun’s clearly smaller face. “You seem to have lost weight. Take care.”
Jiang Yun’s eyes turned sour. She bit her lower lip and tried her best to remain calm. “Thank you. My husband is still waiting for me. I’ll go up first.”
“Okay.”
With that, Jiang Yun walked away quickly. Xia Yu looked at her departing figure with an obscure gaze.
When he returned to the ward, Lin Yi had already woken up. She was leaning against the head of the bed in a daze, thinking about something.
Seeing Xia Yu enter, a smile appeared on Lin Yi’s pale face. “It’s been hard on you.”
“Why are you so polite?” Xia Yu walked over and wiped Lin Yi’s hands with a towel. “If you hadn’t saved me, I wouldn’t even know where to lie now.”
The corners of Lin Yi’s lips curled up slightly. “In that situation, if it were anyone else, they would have saved you without hesitation.”
Xia Yu wiped Lin Yi’s hands. “Let’s not talk about those things anymore. Rest well and get well early.”
“Okay.” Lin Yi nodded.
——
Not long after Xia Wanyuan left the hospital, she received a call from Chen Yun.
“Wanyuan, that author is overjoyed. He’s still connected to the phone, so he drove to our studio to sign the contract with us. I’ll send you the electronic contract later.”
“No problem. You can just check it.”
“Okay, then we’ll settle this.”
After hanging up, Chen Yun immediately posted the news on Weibo happily.
A few days ago, “Under the Sky”, which had been filmed very badly, had just ended. Now, the dark trending topic about how bad this television drama was was still on Weibo’s trending topic.
When one clicked on it, it was basically filled with insults from book fans and complaints from passers-by.
Just as everyone was lamenting that “China’s television industry is finished”, Wan Shi Studio suddenly posted a post.
@ Wan Shi Studio: “I’m very happy to work with ‘Under the Sky’. Let’s look forward to @ Xia Wanyuan’s first work as a director.”
Seeing the words “Under the Sky”, everyone was about to scold them out of habit when they saw the name Xia Wanyuan.
[ Why don’t I understand what this Weibo post means?? Is Xia Wanyuan going to film “Under the Sky” again?? Why didn’t Xia Wanyuan act anymore and went to be a director? ]
[ Xia Wanyuan’s acting skills are quite good, but directors and actors are completely different directions. Is Xia Wanyuan sure that she can control the huge plotline of this television drama? My white moonlight novel has already been regretted once. I don’t want to see it destroyed a second time. Please let him off. ]
[ Am I the only one who’s looking forward to it? Ignoring everything else, if Xia Wanyuan is the director, the budget for this drama is simply invincible. Can I look forward to the special effects of this television drama? ]
Although there were some doubts, most people still supported it. After all, the special effects of the previous concert were there, so everyone naturally had a balance in their hearts.
However, when the news spread, the foreign netizens did not think so. It was because the special effects of Chinese television dramas in the past were too famous.
