As the conversation progressed, Dai Su’s voice began to tremble slightly. “I am very grateful to you, President Xia for giving me the opportunity to collaborate. The film ‘Chasing the Light’ will definitely make its way onto the big screen and become a sensation across the country. Thank you for recognizing its potential.”
As Dai Su left, Qian Lingling sighed, crossing her arms. “Seriously, can’t he speak like a normal person?”
However, Xia Shutong furrowed her brows and picked up the script for “Chasing the Light.”
“Let me take a look at the script, Xiao Qian. Can you please gather some background information on Dai Su and send it to me.”
As Xia Shutong’s gaze swept across the script’s cover, she suddenly changed her mind. “No, go find information about the screenwriter instead.”
When Dai Su had thanked her with teary eyes earlier, Xia Shutong felt a strong and profound emotion, almost bordering on devotion.
That emotion resonated with Xia Shutong, even stirring something within her soul, causing her to tremble.
She vaguely felt… that it was an immensely deep love.
Was it for cinema? for art? or for someone specific?
Xia Shutong couldn’t quite figure it out.
Xia Shutong was confused.
She shook her head, dispelling the jumbled thoughts in her mind, and opened the script.
“Chasing the Light” is a film with a strong female lead, telling the story of Du Yuan, a girl with extreme social anxiety and difficulty in normal communication with others, who shines and ultimately makes a name for herself in the field of writing.
The main storyline of the story is simple, depicting Du Yuan’s journey of growth. However, under the screenwriter’s pen, Du Yuan’s character comes to life vividly, as if she could leap off the pages at any moment.
This seemingly simple story is incredibly captivating, every word and stroke exuding tremendous emotional power.
The writing style of “Chasing the Light” is elegant and delicate, clearly written by a woman. Through the words, Xia Shutong can almost visualize the girl with a smile on her lips, delicate features, and fiery sparks in her eyes. It’s possible to imagine the posture she would have when holding a pen.
After finishing it, Xia Shutong had only one thought in her mind, her judgment before the memory loss was perhaps too harsh.
With a director like Dai Su in the mix, the film based on this story would undoubtedly be excellent. If the casting is done correctly, it will surely have a place at the Golden Laurel Festival, and perhaps even go beyond national borders, reaching international film festivals.
“President Xia, we’ve found out the identity of the screenwriter,” Qian Lingling handed over the tablet, “This screenwriter, Li, was the girlfriend of Dai Su. She passed away in a car accident six months ago.”
Girlfriend, passed away in a car accident.
Xia Shutong’s hand trembled inexplicably.
She understood the profound and passionate love that Dai Su had for his late girlfriend.
That love came from his heart.”
Chasing the Light” was the result of his girlfriend’s dedication, as well as his lifelong dream and pursuit.
Xia Shutong’s heart was filled with indescribable emotions for a moment. She took a long sigh, but suddenly felt a sharp pain in her head.
It wasn’t because she was touched by Dai Su’s love for his girlfriend, but because she resonated with his emotions.
It was as if she too had loved someone so deeply and sincerely.
That person… was like a mole on the tip of her heart, a ray of light cast during dark times outside her window, and a lark singing on her shoulder during moments of solitude.
She was willing to give up everything, overcome all obstacles, even sacrifice her life, just to protect someone important.
But she couldn’t remember anymore.
She couldn’t recall anything.
“I’m a bit tired, Xiao Qian. I’m going to rest in my room for a while.”
Xia Shutong struggled to walk back to her room and closed the door, her steps becoming unsteady.
She leaned against the door, slowly squatting down, hands clasped in front of her face, silently crying.
Xia Shutong slept deeply until noon when she woke up with an empty mind and a sense of discomfort. However, she couldn’t clearly articulate the reason behind it.
During these days, she naturally recalled many things, such as general knowledge, company management matters, and even the layout of her apartment.
But there was a part that she couldn’t remember, no matter how hard she tried. It only resulted in a headache, so painful that it brought tears to her eyes.
Xia Shutong disliked this empty feeling, so for the next few days, she immersed herself in various materials, refusing to have a moment of free time.
Aside from paying attention to the situation of the company, Xia Shutong also kept an eye on various industry news and developments, preparing herself for her return to the company.
Late at night, when Xia Shutong was reading drowsily, she suddenly became attracted to a name.
“Hmm…” Xia Shutong unintentionally murmured, “Yun Feiwu… Is her contract with her company coming to an end?”
Qian Lingling, who was working diligently beside her, nodded and said, “Yes, Feiwu’s signed a contract with Xinghui, it is a small company with limited resources. It’s highly probable that she will choose to terminate the contract and move to another company.”
Xia Shutong immediately looked it up and found that Xinghui is indeed a very small company, even the big boss Zhou Hanchi started from scratch without any background.
However, despite being such a small company, they have produced the national goddess Yun Feiwu and another top male actor Ouyang Chao. Their luck is truly extraordinary.
If Xia Shutong take a closer look, she will realize that the resources available to Yun Feiwu and Ouyang Chao are simply not on the same level.
While outsiders may not see the difference, industry insiders can easily notice that many of Yun Feiwu’s resources are not something that a small company like Xinghui can provide.
But Xia Shutong simply yawned and closed the page, casually asking, “Which company is Yun Feiwu planning to join?”
“We don’t know yet.”
Qian Lingling jokingly said with a smile, “But if Wutong can sign her, our company’s development in the film industry will be secured.”
