"Who still likes this kind of old antique now! It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, and you can't sell one in a month. Your set is outdated!"

In the end, Xiusheng's complaint was interrupted by his father's tearful slap, and Xiusheng ran away from home in a fit of anger. He found an Internet cafe and played games all night in revenge until he couldn't stand it and fell asleep on the table.

Then Xiusheng had a dream that he had returned to when his father was young. Witnessing the love of my parents with my own eyes, I knew that my father didn't like embroidery when he was young, but in the end he chose to inherit the family business and continue this inheritance.

In the process of getting in touch with the old-fashioned parents in his impression, Xiusheng also slowly changed his mind. He worked hard to endure the crisis at home with his young parents, understood the heavy weight of this inheritance, and finally woke up from the big dream and repented. I went back home and confessed my mistake to my father, then studied embroidery seriously, and finally became a... a little famous internet celebrity.

However, the art of embroidery was greatly promoted.

Wen Zhuoyu has not seen this movie in his last life, probably because the story is too literary and artistic, and he did not find an investor in the end. However, Wen Zhuoyu is not bad for money. He is willing to invest in this film and play the role of Xiusheng. The director is also very happy. He didn't even mention the audition, he just handed the role to Wen Zhuoyu.

"I just wanted to make such a story." When we first met, the director chatted with Wen Zhuoyu with red eyes: "Because this is the story between me and my father."

But in reality, the director did not choose embroidery in the end, but was faithful to his dream, and finally applied for the directing department of the film school. The Su embroidery skills that have been passed down for several generations have been broken in his generation, and the director's father has been unhappy.

The reason why the director wanted to make such a movie was to make up for his father's regrets. He knew he had no way to pass on the skill, but he was willing to help his father promote embroidery. It's a little bit of effort.

Because of this insistence, the director was reluctant to revise the script. Even though many investors agreed that the story was a bit obscure after reading the script, and hoped that the director could change it, at least add a heroine or something, the director refused. Because he wanted to make a pure story. If the script could not be written according to his own wishes, he would rather not make it.

The director's stubbornness drove away waves of investors. No one believed that such a story would become popular, even the director himself knew this.

Fortunately, Chen Xusheng finally pushed the script to Wen Zhuoyu. Wen Zhuoyu liked this story very much after reading it, and decided to bring funds into the group.

"I don't care if I can make money when I make a movie, and I won't make money by investing in stocks anyway." Wen Zhuoyu smiled to reassure the director: "So we don't need to think about whether the movie can make a return after it is released, as long as the story is done well."

Wen Zhuoyu thought to himself, he worked hard to make money, didn't he just want to burn money on hobbies!

Chapter 49 "Embroidery" starts (with drama)

The director of "Embroidered Life" is Cen Wangnian, who is just over fifty this year, and is also a veritable senior in the circle. Although his reputation is not as high as that of director Chen Xusheng, it is because Cen Wangnian has been in the industry for many years, and most of his works are literary and artistic films, and quite a few of them have not even been shown in China, but are directly exhibited abroad. Although the number of awards won is not many, it is a good way to improve the quality.

It is precisely because of this that although Cen Wangnian's films are not high at the box office, they are also regarded by many people in the circle as a shortcut to "golden body", so there is no shortage of investors.

This "embroidered life" is an exception. Because in order to improve the sense of substitution in the movie, Cen Wangnian decided not to use familiar faces on the big screen as the protagonists, and only wanted to use newcomers——

Just imagine, a director who has no guarantee at the box office and can only rely on quality to win awards, actually wants to use a newcomer to shoot a movie that looks like a hit. Obviously, it is a waste of money business, who would invest in it?

It is true that a director may make a film for the sake of art, but an investor must invest in a film for the sake of profit.

So in my last life, it was also expected that the movie didn't start in the end.

As for this life, that is, Director Chen Xusheng kindly introduced Wen Zhuoyu to Cen Wangnian, an acting school who is not bad enough to bring money into the group - so speaking, it seems that this movie is really tailor-made for Wen Zhuoyu of.

First of all, Wen Zhuoyu is willing to spend money when he has money.

Secondly, Wen Zhuoyu is a newcomer. Although the movie he invested in has exploded at the box office, and his acting skills are well recognized, the "Twin" that really made Wen Zhuoyu shine has not yet been released. Therefore, no matter how popular Wen Zhuoyu is, he is a new face on the big screen to the audience. And he is a newcomer with his own attention.

Finally, Wen Zhuoyu was able to endure loneliness and boredom to earnestly learn about Su embroidery, and was willing to learn Su embroidery needlework in person before joining the group. Such an attitude coincides with director Cen Wangnian's attitude towards excellence in his works. So the cooperation between the two of them is also very tacit and harmonious.

Director Cen Wangnian has made movies for so many years, and it is the first time that he feels that he is not limited by the cost budget, and all the costumes are designed according to the most ideal version-they even spend a lot of money to invite them for a particularly important prop in the later stage of the plot. The most famous embroiderers in the world personally designed the manuscript and completed the embroidery.

In addition, regarding the various embroidery products that appeared in the movie, except for the props that were first destroyed by the male protagonist Embroidery, the rest are all new patterns designed by embroidery masters, not the shoddy ones on the market. commercial finished product.

This kind of cool feeling of spending money like water simply fascinated Cen Wangnian, so much so that before the movie started, Cen Wangnian called his friend Chen Xusheng several times, and said on the phone, "This is the Let’s have the feeling of making a big production. If it wasn’t for my lack of ability, I would have wanted to make a commercial film!”
