397: Chapter 397 Short Drama Track: The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me During Menopause!

Over in Derong County, after Fernando had communicated with Zuba's parents and they heard that the big boss behind Chizhu Wine Industry had taken a liking to Zuba's football talent and wanted to take him to Rongcheng for training, they were still a bit hesitant.

The main concerns were not feeling at ease with the child going to Rongcheng, as well as the issue of his schooling.

After Su Yang learned about this, he simply told Fernando to stop by and talk to them again on the day of his wedding!

If it weren't for Fernando's strong recommendation, Su Yang wouldn't be very keen on getting involved in this kind of troublesome matter, which required a long-term investment, had low stability, and involved a minor.

A four-star stamina talent and a three-star speed talent were indeed good, but they weren't of much use to him.

If it were a four-star mathematics talent, he would most likely take it seriously!

After Linyi Film and Television released the news about casting auditions, many film and television companies moved upon hearing the wind.

Especially after hearing that the TV series had an investment of 80 million (allegedly) and had hired Chen Tao as the lead actress!

Those film and television companies and talent agencies that previously didn't care for Lin Yi all started calling her.

They were coming in an endless stream to build connections and curry favor, all wanting to find an opportunity for their subordinates to get some exposure!

The entertainment industry is just that realistic. Although Lin Yi felt very disdainful in her heart, she still played along and forced a smile.

But she knew that the final decision for finding actors this time still lay in the boss's hands!

After all, the boss had said that he would conduct the interviews himself!

When the 6th arrived, Su Yang came to Linyi Film and Television to start interviewing actors.

He took a brief glance at the actors queuing outside and felt that the quality of the actresses was not bad; most of them were pure and innocent types!

Under Lin Yi's guidance, Su Yang arrived at the interview room.

He met the director Xu Qian, assistant director Chang Qiuliang, and screenwriter Mo Keyu.

Although the status of a screenwriter is low, they still have the power to interview actors and can also recommend them.

However, in most cases, no one cares about their opinions!

After Lin Yi's introduction, Su Yang's gaze rested slightly longer on Mo Keyu.

Mo Keyu was twenty-eight years old, looked relatively ordinary, was slightly chubby, and wore black-rimmed glasses.

Being watched by Su Yang's gaze, she lowered her head a little shyly.

Su Yang also noticed that this Mo Keyu's loyalty instantly soared from 81 to 89!

Is she also a visual-oriented person?

Su Yang asked curiously, "Mo Keyu, what were you thinking with this script? Can't you give the overbearing CEO something better?"

"I was just thinking randomly!"

Mo Keyu smiled somewhat awkwardly.

She had already projected Su Yang into the role of the overbearing CEO!

Thinking about it, she really felt a bit embarrassed!

She was, of course, full of good feelings toward Su Yang, especially after General Manager Lin told her that the big boss would reward her with a 100,000 bonus!

That's 100,000!

It's worth two years of her salary!

When she told her peers who worked as screenwriters about this, they were all so envious they could cry!

They were even clamoring to jump ship and join Linyi Film and Television!

Seeing Mo Keyu like this, Su Yang couldn't help but tease her:

"Twenty years ago, it was 'The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with My Studious Self!'"

"Ten years ago, it was 'The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with My New-Employee Self!'"

"Now, it's 'The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with My Single-Mother Self!'"

"In the future, are you going to film 'The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with My Retired Square-Dancing Self?'"

Su Yang always felt that these people making TV dramas were just relentlessly milking this one customer base!

Of course, he had no issues with Mo Keyu.

Her script was truly worth investing in and met market demand!

Who knew that at this moment, Mo Keyu suddenly looked up and asked, "Does the boss want to film it?"

"Why?"

Su Yang was a bit surprised.

"I just happened to write a script!"

Mo Keyu turned the laptop on the table around and said, "General Manager Lin said the company wanted to film short dramas, but there were no scripts in the company that could satisfy the boss, so I worked overtime and wrote another short drama script!"

After getting the 100,000 bonus, Mo Keyu was full of energy.

After hearing that from now on, any script written by a company screenwriter would earn a 100,000 bonus once accepted, she couldn't sit still!

She felt like her creative inspiration was gushing like a fountain!

It wasn't just her; the other screenwriters had also been racking their brains recently, wanting to write good works.

She felt the big boss might like overbearing CEO themes, so she simply innovated on this track where she had an advantage!

"What is the content?"

Su Yang glanced at Mo Keyu, and a guess vaguely formed in his heart.

But he didn't dare to be sure!

No way, right?

"The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with My Forty-Year-Old Self!" Mo Keyu smiled somewhat smugly, clicked open a folder, and presented her hard work to Su Yang, "The male lead is a young overbearing CEO, and the female lead is a cleaning lady in her forties!"

"Hiss~"

Outrageous!

Upon hearing this theme, Su Yang couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva!

The others present, Director Xu Qian and Assistant Director Chang Qiuliang, all looked at each other.

Has she gone crazy?

"This is something I stayed up several nights to write. I feel it's quite good; there should be a market for it!" Mo Keyu pushed the laptop to Su Yang, "Boss, take a look!"

"Okay!"

Hearing that this was a script Mo Keyu had stayed up several nights to write, Su Yang felt too embarrassed to refuse!

He sat on the chair that Lin Yi had brought over and, under Mo Keyu's expectant gaze, began to read the short drama script.

The core characteristic of short dramas is "double short," meaning short episodes and short duration.

The duration of a single episode is usually between 15 and 30 minutes.

This allows viewers to consume content quickly, which is suitable for a fast-paced lifestyle.

The core logic is satisfaction!

Short dramas often revolve around a clear theme or storyline, focusing on tight plots and rising climaxes, bringing viewers a strong emotional experience and sense of satisfaction, similar to the satisfying plots in old-school web novels!

There are all kinds of genres, such as soldier kings, mercenaries, security guards, wealthy family feuds, sweet overbearing CEO romances, and suspense detectives.

Ordinary young people might think it's very cheesy, but short dramas mainly target the sinking market.

After all, even though web novels have developed for so many years and various themes have constantly emerged...

...there is still a group of people who like old-school soldier king themes!

Su Yang even had elders who read these types of novels during the Chinese New Year.

He had watched a few short dramas, and the well-produced ones felt better than TV series and were more addictive!

At least the plots aren't padded, the story constantly twists and turns, and they don't waste several episodes just on a romance!

Many actors in short dramas are professionally trained, and their acting skills are much better than those of traffic stars.

At the very least, their facial expressions won't be flying all over the place, making people feel awkward.

There are actually quite a few pretty actresses as well.

Su Yang read the first few pages of the script at a glance and then took a deep breath.

To summarize this story simply, it is—The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with My Menopausal Self!

Of course, this is just an exaggerated way of putting it.

Since she is already having a passionate affair with a young overbearing CEO, she probably hasn't reached menopause yet!

Fortunately, the overbearing CEO is twenty-seven this time, so he doesn't have such a strong sense of projection...

"Boss, how does it feel?"

Mo Keyu asked somewhat nervously.

"Let me look again!"

Su Yang directly used Business Deduction, and then the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Fortunately, he quickly composed himself!

This script, if filmed, could actually earn over ten million!

"Not bad!"

Su Yang silently handed the laptop back to Mo Keyu.

"Really?"

Receiving the boss's affirmation, Mo Keyu was extremely happy!

"Really!"

Lin Yi, who was sitting on the side, asked curiously, "Can we film it?"

"We can film it!"

Su Yang nodded helplessly.

It's even more profitable than this urban drama with an "80 million" investment, so why couldn't we film it?

The investment is at most a little over one million!

Of course, the cost of short dramas isn't in the investment, but in buying traffic!

However, with a profit of over ten million, how could Su Yang easily give it up?

This ten million, if invested in Derong County, could grow a lot of grapes.

"Then after the interviews are over, I'll send someone to prepare!" Lin Yi glanced at her phone and said, "Boss, the interviews are about to start!"

"Okay!"
