Chapter 28 ‘Save the Cat’

Just like who said, all the gifts of life have secret prices.

When Yang Mi faced reporters and confessed that she had never been bullied since she was a child, she never expected that she would soon face the nemesis in her life.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, don’t speak too loudly, otherwise it will be particularly painful when you are slapped in the face.

When Zhao Ruoyao heard Yang Mi tell the whole story, her first reaction was to speak up for Li Suan. From a young actor to a popular star today, it goes without saying that Yang Mi encountered bad things, but every time he either saved the day or both sides suffered losses.

First of all, you, Yang Mi, are representing Jiaxing to invite Teacher Li Suan to sign a contract. He has no works and no background. How sick can he be to want to infiltrate you?

Secondly, outsiders don’t know who Yang Mi is. How can she, a former manager, half-best friend, and business partner who started a business together, still not know?

Finally, Zhao Ruoyao had never seen the pear blossoms and rain on the other side of the phone in these years, so it sounded like an act.

Conclusion, if this girl doesn’t handle things well, she needs to make amends for herself!

"Power, power? Wait a minute, think about it again, is there anything else you haven't told me? Is it true that he said he wanted to form a partnership?"

Yang Mi said: "Did you hear the point? He bullied me, bullied me, bullied me! Do you still want to sign him at this time?"

Zhao Ruoyao on the phone cleared her throat: "Look at Weibo."

"Isn't it just that he has good grades? What's wrong with having good grades? If he has good grades..."

Yang Mi couldn't go on, because Sina Books regards "Passing Through Your World" as the banner of its section, and even has a tendency to become the banner of Weibo. Sina has always wanted to get involved in the field of literature, but has never been able to do it.

Regarding the matter, the Weibo Novel Contest has been held twice so far. The confidence brought by the popularity of "From You" can allow the project leader to straighten his back in front of the company leaders.

Not only that, Sina also announced the interview plan and stated in words that Sina may be the sole agent for the film and television copyright of "From You" and welcomes major film and television companies to come to discuss cooperation.

Yang Mi picked up the phone again: "Yes, he has good grades. What's wrong with his good grades? I am one of the founders of Jiaxing. I don't agree to sign him. If he comes, I will leave!"

"Don't be angry, think about it again. Sina has always wanted to create a group of Weibo celebrities. Whether they want to attract traffic or enrich content, the key is that they fully comply with the document you gave me. If I guessed correctly,

That document was also written by Li Shuan, right?"

Yang Mi was stunned. Yes, she shared the contents of Li Shu's document with her best friend and manager. There wasn't much in it. The key was that there were some things on it that she couldn't understand.

For example, the phrase "the country's economic orientation is changing from external to internal" actually refers to the shift in the focus of national economic construction in 2008. The export of 800 million shirts only resulted in one Boeing aircraft. The country does not want to do it anymore.

, which brought about the pain of the clothing industry, and had to develop towards diversification and lightweight.

For factories, there are no big orders and there are too many small orders, making things difficult. But for consumers, there are more choices, cheaper prices, and physical stores are not as good as online stores.

Yes, online piracy is a trend, but there are quite a few pigs following this trend.

Zhang Dayi, who has a net worth of one billion, is one of them, and Jack Ma, who has a net worth of hundreds of billions, is one of them.

There is only Jack Ma in the era, and there is no era of Jack Ma. This sentence was written on the document by Li Shuan.

The take-off of the e-commerce era is due to the influence of the entire country’s economic regulation policy. Without Taobao, wouldn’t there be JD.com, Suning and Vipshop?

Yang Mi listened to the voice on the phone with mixed feelings in her heart.

"No matter how much it is, it will be gone. I also asked an older brother who has been in business for many years to interpret it for me. He said he wanted to meet Teacher Li."

Yang Mi pursed her lips and did not speak.

"I also wonder how he knows this, but now that consulting has developed, maybe it's just people sitting at home and knowing the world's affairs."

Yang Mi didn't want to know this, so she asked: "So, what is your conclusion?"

"A partnership means we all do business together, right? But if it can be postponed until after the gambling agreement with Shangshi, it will be a great advantage for us."

Yang Mi listened without saying a word. He just held the phone and didn't know what he was thinking.

The screenwriter's guide "Save the Cat" once said that to make your audience like your work, you must first make them like the protagonist. But how to make the audience like the protagonist? Let him save a cat, or do something that is in line with the mainstream.

Values, things that the public likes to hear and see.

Li Shuan had a different idea when he was studying this book. He felt that the translators were either too drunk or had not learned much.

The literal translation is correct, but he did not write about the multiple meanings that can be derived from English.

Thinking about how countless young screenwriters later regarded the Chinese version of "Save the Cat" as a bible, Li Shuan sighed. In fact, what "Save the Cat" says is that your protagonist's first action must touch the audience, both positive and negative.

Yes, because if you are touched, you will care, and if you are concerned, you will be curious, and then ask the most important thing - why.

This is just like picking up girls. Countless single nobles feel sorry for the blindness of girls, but in the final analysis, in the eyes of other girls, you are not even a bad person, but just a passerby.

After cleaning up, Li Suan stood at the door of the elevator, waiting for his 'partner' who was still in shock.

In fact, partnership is quite similar to marriage. He chooses and chooses for peace of mind, fearing that his affection will feed the dog, or his entire worth will be reduced by half, but Li Shuan doesn't care, because in all situations, he has the confidence to be the one.

perpetrator.

Yang Mi put on that 'geely suit' again. The combination of toad mirrors and a mask were enough to block most of her sight. Li Suan even smelled it when he passed by.

"Hey, why don't you use it?"

Yang Mi said nothing and just pressed the elevator button.

“Do you want to eat out or eat at the hotel? There is a good mutton soup shop nearby, very authentic.”

Yang Mi still didn't speak. When the elevator arrived, he entered first and leaned against the wall. Li Suan didn't doubt his presence, so he stood in, turned his back to Yang Mi and pressed the elevator button.

"Actually, you don't have to think too much. I just think it's better for everyone to live in peace if we are all in the same company in the future. Of course, if you want to have some fun, I don't object."

"Confirm bookmark?"

Li Suan turned around and smiled at him.

Yang Mi frowned, thinking hard about the solution. She took out her earphones and put them in her ears, playing with her phone to listen to music. But the next moment, she heard Li Suan say.

"I read your reputation online yesterday and it was very bad. I have a way to help you get out of your current predicament. Do you want to hear it?"

Why does this set of words sound like a liar?

There are many public relations people who have said this to Yang Mi, including those who graduated from Stanford!

Yang Mi asked politely: "What can you do?"

The elevator arrived just in time, and Li Suan walked out of the elevator: "Let's eat first and talk while eating."

Article 2 of Li Shuan’s Guide to Screenwriting: If you create a negative impression on the audience at the beginning, you must prepare corresponding charm attributes. One charm point is to arouse curiosity, and two charm points are to create surprises.
