Chapter 3193 We Must Win Based on Our Strength
The moment Xiao Zhou uttered "General Manager Xiao Bai," the review team in the meeting room erupted in chaos.
Team leader Li Jie's pen stopped in mid-air, her previously serious brows instantly relaxed, and she leaned closer for a closer look—and sure enough! That short, ear-length hair was exactly like Xiaobai, the daughter that General Manager Zhang always talked about!
Old Wang, who was standing nearby, also realized what was going on and pointed at Liu Liu, laughing heartily: "Oh my! Who do we have here! Isn't this our company's '10 Billion Yuan Movie Queen' Liu Liu! Haven't seen you in a while, what have you been up to lately?!"
Liu Liu looked at Lao Wang in confusion, unable to recall who he was or what he did.
The people who had been acting like judges suddenly lost their composure, and the atmosphere in the meeting room became much more relaxed.
Li Jie put down her pen, smiled, and beckoned the children to sit closer: "Come on over, don't stand so far away! If I had known it was you little rascals, I wouldn't have kept such a long face. I was wondering which hidden screenwriter 'Sailor Moon' was!"
"Hahaha~~" Xiaobai laughed, "The script was conceived by several of us together."
Liu Liu stepped forward enthusiastically and extended her hand to shake hands with Li Jie: "Hello, hello, nice to meet you."
Li Jie was both amused and exasperated. She reached out and shook hands with Da Yanyan. She had long heard that Liu Liu had high emotional intelligence and was a little adult. Seeing is believing, and meeting is even better than hearing. This child is so clever at such a young age.
Little White followed along, and Robin, seeing this, immediately became her little aunt's little shadow, stretching out her little hand, standing on tiptoe, and trying her best to act like a little adult.
The three of them shook hands with each member of the review team. Liu Liu, being the most adept at social maneuvering, kept saying things like "Nice to meet you," "I've heard so much about you," or "Please take care of me"...
Everyone cooperated with her.
"Sit down first, let's talk," said team leader Li Jie.
"There aren't enough chairs."
Xi'er said that she had noticed this problem a long time ago.
Xiao Zhou immediately said, "Sit in my seat!"
But Old Wang was faster than him, having already moved his chair over.
Not to be outdone, Xiao Zhou hurriedly moved his own chair over as well, and ran outside to call the staff to bring over a few more chairs.
When he returned to the conference room, he found that all the members of the review panel were standing. Of the five reviewers, only the group leader, Li Jie, still had her own chair; the others had all moved their chairs to the CEOs.
At the same time, I heard Liuliu speaking loudly.
"Please ignore our identities, seriously review the script, and ask serious questions. We are prepared and can answer any question. I am not Bai Yi Yan Yan, Xiao Bai is not the boss's daughter, Xi Er is not an international singer and the boss's goddaughter, Du Du is not an Olympic champion, Cheng Cheng is not a famous writer, Xiaomi is not an Interpol agent, and Robin is not my child... Everyone, please try to be serious and stop laughing..."
But instead of making everyone serious, these words caused everyone to burst into laughter, creating a very joyful atmosphere.
Seeing this, Liuliu whispered to Xiaobai, "Oh no! It looks like we're going to win the championship."
Xiao Bai nodded seriously, "That's not good. We should win the prize money based on our abilities, not on our status. How will we survive in this industry if word gets out?"
Liu Liu wholeheartedly agreed: "Shall I emphasize this again?"
"Forget it, there's no point in you emphasizing it. I'll emphasize it myself."
"...Then I'll speak last."
After Xiaobai's repeated emphasis, everyone finally stopped laughing and joking, and the situation gradually got back on track.
Team leader Li Jie asked with a smile, "We all really like the script 'Miss Zhao's Family.' Can you tell us how you came up with the idea to write this story?"
Xiaobai asked Chengcheng to stand in front and answer the question.
Chengcheng said aloofly, "We used Dudu as the model for this story. The story is based on Dudu, but it's not entirely about Dudu; it has been artistically adapted..."
Old Wang exclaimed, "I really love your story! It's so much warmer and more genuine than those adult scripts that rack their brains to come up with melodramatic plots."
Xiao Zhou also exclaimed, "As expected of a group of genius girls, some of their abilities are truly innate talents. You can't deny it. After writing screenplays for so many years, after reading 'Miss Zhao's Family,' I can only admire them and have no complaints whatsoever. I think this screenplay deserves an award."
Old Zhou chimed in, "I completely agree, and I suggest that this script should be given priority for film adaptation; we can start the process now."
Everyone agreed, but Li Jie didn't express her opinion. Instead, she asked, "Xiao Bai, are you already planning to turn 'Miss Zhao's Family' into a movie?"
Xiao Bai said, "That's right, Auntie, we're getting ready to make a movie. We've secured investment from Mr. Yu, and your boss will also invest."
The group exchanged glances, thinking to themselves, "As expected, this is a one-step solution."
The defense began in a relaxed atmosphere. The judges' questions were no longer serious about "plot logic" or "commercial value," but rather like a conversation between elders:
"Liuliu, have you wanted to play Miss Zhao for a long time?"
"Xi'er, you learn sign language so quickly, how about we add a small role to the script?"
"Robin, what role are you going to play in the story? The little sister?"
Liuliu patted her chest and said, "I'll definitely do a good job! I'm learning sign language with Dudu every day now, and I'm almost graduating!"
Xi'er smiled and nodded, "I can be a sign language interpreter, and I can also sing the theme song!"
……
The judges laughed heartily. Li Jie, while taking notes, said, "Although your team is small, your division of labor is very clear, comparable to a professional film crew! Okay, that concludes today's judges' presentations. Although I'd love to chat with you all a bit longer, there are many other screenwriters waiting to present. You should go back now. The results will be out tomorrow, and I'll let you know as soon as they're available!"
"Goodbye everyone~" Xiaobai waved.
Liu Liu emphasized again: "Keep it official and don't do anything to us just because of our status. If word gets out, my reputation will be ruined."
The results came out the next afternoon, but unfortunately Xiaobai and the others were at school. Zhang Tan was informed of the results and then told them the news when he picked them up from school.
"You have won an Excellence Award in this scriptwriting competition!!"
The people in the car cheered and jumped for joy. Zhang Tan was also proud. Li Jie, the head of the judging panel, repeatedly emphasized on the phone that the result was selected entirely based on fairness, impartiality and openness.
Suddenly, Zhang Tan felt something flying above his head. He reached out and caught a notebook. Several other books were still flying around above him.
Zhang Tan took the workbook and saw that the cover had the three big characters "Shen Liuliu" written on it.
"Liuliu, why did you throw away your homework and books?"
Dudu laughed heartily: "Happy, let's celebrate!"
"You throw your textbooks to celebrate???"
Xiao Bai immediately mocked, "Liu Liu, you're such a terrible student."
Liu Liu laughed heartily, unconcerned: "Don't you know whether I'm a bad student or not! Oh, by the way, Mr. Zhang, what place did this 'Excellent Award' get?"
Zhang Tan said, "It's equivalent to fourth place."
The awards for the original scriptwriting competition are as follows: one first prize, two second prizes, three third prizes, and ten honorable mentions.
Zhang Tan explained to them in detail that although they were a little disappointed that they didn't get first place, they were still very happy with the excellence award.
"There's also a bonus of 100,000 yuan."
"Wow! 100,000 yuan!" Liuliu jumped up instantly, almost hitting the roof of the car. "We're rich now! We can buy lots of delicious food!"
Xiao Bai smiled too. Although it wasn't the top prize, 100,000 yuan was still a lot.
She suggested, "Let's invest this 10 yuan in the movie. If we make money in the future, we'll donate it to Little Red Horse to help more children."
Everyone agreed, but Xi'er asked, "What if we lose money?"
“How could our own film lose money? We should work even harder!” Dudu said firmly.
The journey was filled with laughter and joy. The award notification was passed around and read several times, with everyone looking at it again and again, beaming with happiness.
Although it wasn't the top prize, this 100,000 yuan represents their hard work, the judges' recognition, and their expectations for the film "Miss Zhao's Family".
Liu Liu suggested, "Once the movie is finished, we must invite the judges to watch it and let them know that the story they chose is truly excellent! They didn't make a mistake!!"
