Xia Shutong’s visitor is a young man.
He was in his twenties, with messy hair and round-framed glasses, wearing a wrinkled plaid shirt, and holding a stack of messy documents.
Xia Shutong didn’t remember him, but Qian Lingling had mentioned him. His name was Dai Su, a newly established director.
Xia Shutong happened to have seen this introduction in the materials.
Wutong Film Company’s business scope covered television dramas, variety shows, and trainees, but when it came to movies, they had only invested in a few films and did not hold any movie copyrights.
Before losing her memory, Xia Shutong was planning to lead Wutong into the film industry.
The company had two plans: first, to acquire a large number of movie copyrights, and second, to attempt making their own movies using the company’s resources.
If Wutong successfully entered the film industry and established a strong presence, there would be no other company in the entire industry that could compete with them.
Therefore, Xia Shutong attaches great importance to it before she had an amnesia, especially to the first self-produced film. She handles everything herself, serving as a producer, personally selecting the script, director, and even conducting auditions.
Dai Su is the director Xia Shutong chose.
Its only been two year since he graduated from college, but his talent in directing has already emerged. He won numerous awards in school, and as long as he wait for a bigger stage, he will surely be able to showcase his grand vision.
Xia Shutong has watched some of his works, and whether it’s storytelling, cinematography, or visuals, they are all excellent. You can’t tell at all that they are the works of a newcomer.
Moreover, Dai Su has a very distinct personal style. His works, even if they are just five-minute short films, have a strong infectious power. Every pause and twist in the plot can effectively evoke the audience’s emotions.
The only thing he lacks is a broad stage to showcase his talent, and Wutong Film Company happens to provide him with this opportunity.
She was unaware where her old self, before amnesia, found this precious jade.
Previously, Xia Shutong and Dai Su had almost finished their discussion, with the contract scheduled to be signed today. However, when Dai Su heard that Xia Shutong had just been discharged from the hospital and was resting at home, he came directly from the company to her house, causing a delay in signing the contract.
At this moment, Dai Su sat on the sofa, holding a bundle of documents and eagerly offering them towards Xia Shutong, his eyes filled with excitement.
“President Xia, would you like to take another look at the script for ‘Chasing the Light’? Here are also the storyboards. If you have any parts that you don’t understand, please let me know, and I’ll explain. I’ve also made some annotations on the script…” You are reading on novelping . com, the official source.
Dai Su was so afraid that Xia Shutong would change her mind that he kept talking non-stop, as if the wings of anticipation were about to overflow from his voice.
Dai Su’s behavior was too obvious, even to the amnesiac Xia Shutong, who could tell that he was afraid she might reconsider.
Xia Shutong couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.
Even if her reputation in the industry is not good, it doesn’t mean she would be unreliable and break agreements in her work, right?
This Director Dai doesn’t seem very smart.
Xia Shutong maintained her image, raised her hand to support her forehead, and leaned back slightly. She said, “Director Dai, you’re being a bit noisy.”
There was arrogance, impatience, and a hint of weariness between her eyebrows.
She was reminding Dai Su that she just got discharged from the hospital and her head still hurts, so she couldn’t listen to his long speeches.
However, Dai Su only hesitated for a second and immediately continued, “President Xia, would you like to take a look at my previous works? ‘Chasing the Light’ was the first feature film I directed, but my previous works were also quite decent. President Xia, please have a look…”
Xia Shutong: “…”
Dai Su’s emotional intelligence is probably not great.
Just as Xia Shutong was about to reluctantly approach and listen to Dai Su, Qian Lingling timely took out the contract from her bag and handed it to the two of them.
“Director Dai, President Xia just got out of the hospital, and her health is not good. We hope you can lower your voice. Take a look at the contract, and if there are no issues, just sign it directly.”
“Alright, thank you, President Xia,” Dai Su said, his hand trembling with excitement as he picked up the pen.
It wasn’t until they finished signing on both sides that Dai Su finally realized and began with the pleasantries, “President Xia, have you just come out of the hospital? Are you ill?” This chapter was copied from novelping . com without permission.
Xia Shutong raised an eyebrow, surprised.
Dai Su had came all the way to her house, yet he still didn’t know about her car accident.
Looking at Dai Su’s unkempt appearance and his eyes shining brightly, Xia Shutong couldn’t help but ponder. Perhaps Dai Su was one of those passionate idealists who buried themselves in the pursuit of art, ignoring reality?
Such people often excelled in their chosen fields, but due to their single-minded focus on their dreams and a lack of social and practical knowledge, they often faced setbacks in real life.
They were definitely talented individuals, but they also needed someone who could see and appreciate their potential.
Perhaps… the person she used to be before losing her memory was a kind of person who could recognize this type of talents, Xia Shutong thought.
Xia Shutong picked up the water in front of her and took a sip before saying lightly, “I had a minor car accident a few days ago.”
Her car accident was not a secret, so there was no need to hide it from Dai Su.
Xia Shutong originally thought that Dai Su would at most give some perfunctory pleasantries, but to her surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Dai Su’s pupils dilated slightly and his hands couldn’t help but tremble.
Xia Shutong: “?”
Dai Su’s eyes filled with panic, and then his eye sockets turned red, with bloodshot eyes.
It looked somewhat frightening.
Qian Lingling immediately stood in front of Xia Shutong.
However, soon Dai Su shook his head, stood up earnestly, and bowed to Xia Shutong.
“Today, I have disturbed President Xia, I apologize. Let’s discuss the specific casting and filming matters another time. Take good care of yourself, President Xia.”
