Chapter 1121 Xingyu's Wish: Bosses Fight, Screenwriters Suffer
William walked into the office, and the strong and pungent smell of cigarettes and alcohol lingered in his nose, and he couldn't help but frowned.
Gu Yunqian fell into a deep sleep as if relieved of a heavy burden almost as soon as he sat down. The dark circles under his eyes were as dark as deep ink stains, and seemed to have become much heavier. He looked haggard and exhausted.
Seeing this, William was filled with worry. After thinking for a moment, he had to call Gu Mingcheng and seriously asked him to pay attention.
On the other side, Gu Mingcheng, who hung up the phone, sighed heavily, his face full of worry. He knew his son's current situation very well, but he felt sorry for him struggling between his career and family.
After thinking for a while, he called Lin Junze to the study. The two stayed there for a whole day, and heated discussions could be heard from time to time in the study, as if they were planning a major battle.
It was also from that day on that Ye Muxue began to visit her grandson frequently, and every time she went with Gu Mingcheng.
For a long time afterwards, Gu Mingcheng would often work with Gu Yunqian to take care of the child's daily life.
The father and son cooperated very well, as if they had returned to Gu Yunqian's childhood, when the family was happy and harmonious.
When night falls, Gu Yunqian will take Su Xingya for a stroll in the garden, enjoying this rare quiet time, as if the troubles of the outside world have nothing to do with them.
As for the things that were wrong with Gu Yunqian before, "not getting enough rest" became the best excuse.
After a period of hard work, he and Xiao Mo have determined the tone of the entire project.
The remaining tedious matters can be left to your subordinates to follow up.
The incident at the previous meeting seemed to have been gradually forgotten by everyone, at least Su Xingya herself had forgotten about it. The Gu family enjoyed a few days of warm and happy family life.
At the same time, a new script "One Child, Two Babies: My Dad is Superman" came into being.
There was a lot of compliments all around, and everyone said that this script was obviously created based on Gu Yunqian's mental journey as a father.
Gu Yunqian did not deny it, because this creative direction was indeed strongly advocated by him as a married man.
However, where there is agreement, there will inevitably be opposition.
When Xiao Mo learned that the first drama between the two companies would be of this theme, he was the first to vote against it.
He pointed out sharply: "In these days, short dramas about domineering CEOs are the most popular in the lower-tier markets and have a wide audience. Although cute baby dramas also have a certain audience group, it is too risky to shoot them now. After all, trial and error also requires costs!"
Gu Yunqian was actually a little hesitant about Xiao Mo's proposal. After all, looking at the current short drama market, his company's best performance was still in those domineering CEO-type works.
But he also felt that people should always learn to jump out of their comfort zone and have the courage to try new themes. He was even prepared to persuade Xiao Mo repeatedly, trying to make him see the potential of this theme.
But just when Gu Yunqian pulled himself away from family chores and prepared to devote himself to work and show his talents as "Little Mr. Gu", he was surprised to find that the new project had already started!
In the publicity photos, Xiao Mo's figure was prominently shown, which made him feel nervous and an ominous premonition came to his mind...
Gu Yunqian's face was gloomy, and he suddenly called his employees into the office. He slammed the table, shaking the documents on the table, and asked angrily with his eyes wide open: "What's going on?"
What made him angry was not that he missed the opening ceremony, but Xiao Mo's puzzling change of attitude.
He was clearly opposed to it just a moment ago, but turned against it in just a few days and even attended the opening ceremony openly. This is a blatant slap in the face.
The employee was frightened to the point of paleness, and his forehead was instantly covered with dense beads of sweat, like a small animal focused by a strong light, terrified. He trembled and spoke, his voice trembling with obvious tremors: "Mr. Gu... Mr. Gu, all this was the idea of Special Assistant Lin."
Hearing this, Gu Yunqian's anger instantly disappeared.
He frowned, his thoughts involuntarily drifting back to those embarrassing days before.
At that time, he was overwhelmed by the pressure, and cigarettes and alcohol became his means of escaping reality. He was exhausted both physically and mentally. He would rather curl up in the small chair in William's clinic and fall asleep than go home to face his wife and children.
He thought to himself that William must have been unable to stand it and complained to his father Gu Mingcheng, which is why things have developed to this point.
Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly. Even though he was still angry, he knew that he couldn't call his father and Uncle Lin to question them.
After all, deep in his heart, the stability and happiness of his wife and children always occupy the most important position, and he cherishes them far more than career disputes.
But he never expected that Xiao Mo took advantage of the fact that he valued family and seized the opportunity.
Soon, a project titled "Deep Temptation, Ex-husband's Uncle is Flirtatious and Wild" was launched.
In an instant, the two families that were supposed to work together seemed to be standing at opposite ends of the ring, with swords drawn.
Although they are produced by the same company, the styles of the two dramas are completely different.
Xiao Mo and Gu Yunqian were competing secretly, and the data traffic of the two dramas were like two ferocious snakes, fighting for it and refusing to give in to each other.
In order to gain the upper hand, teams on both sides tried their best to explore various marketing points in an attempt to win in this war without gunpowder.
The war intensified and even spread to the screenwriters. The screenwriters were caught in the middle and were in a dilemma.
Gu Yunqian has his own creative ideas, and Xiao Mo has put forward various unique requirements. They cannot offend both sides, so they can only deal with the difficult situation between the two and suffer terribly.
The entire company was enveloped in this tense atmosphere. Everyone could feel the heavy pressure, as if a storm was about to come...
This poor screenwriter seems to be shuttling between two completely different worlds every day.
In the morning, she was still immersed in the warm family atmosphere of "One Child, Two Babies: My Dad is Superman", carefully carving out the interesting and warm interaction between the dad and the cute babies, trying to dig out the shining points that would make people smile from ordinary life.
The words flow with warm family affection, as if allowing readers to see the beautiful picture of sunlight shining through the window and onto a family laughing and playing.
However, as soon as the afternoon came, she had to immediately switch channels and immerse herself in the emotional vortex of "Deep Temptation, Ex-husband and Uncle are Flirtatious and Wild" which was full of entanglements and excitement.
She has to rack her brains to come up with a plot that will make people's heart beat faster - how to make the ex-husband and the uncle stir up stormy waves in the heroine's life, how to create wave after wave of ups and downs of emotional conflicts so that the audience can't stop watching.
The fierce struggle between the two bosses made her, a small worker, truly experience what "schizophrenia" means. She felt as if her soul was torn into two halves, one half in the warm harbor of family, and the other half in the battlefield of romance full of intrigue.
In just a few days, she could clearly feel that her condition was getting worse and worse. Every day, she sat in front of the computer, staring at a blank document, but it was as if there were two little people fighting in her head, one shouting for warmth, and the other shouting for excitement. Her hair fell out in clumps, her dark circles became heavier, and her eyes were full of fatigue and confusion.
She often lamented in her heart: "I just want to earn a little money to support myself, why did I take such a deadly job! This is not a job, it's clearly a job that will take my life away!"
Every time she tapped the keyboard, it was like she was struggling with her own mental limits, but for the sake of life, she had to grit her teeth and persevere. She didn't know when such days would end...
