"My confidence is based on the excellent staff of the crew, and the outstanding actors, but most importantly, we also have a screenwriter who is great at telling stories!" Yu Qiyuan's words shifted everyone's attention to Su Shicheng.

  Su Shicun was called a teenage genius writer, the youngest screenwriter in Huaxia. After entering the crew, he immediately caused the collapse of the screenwriting team, and all members of the screenwriting team quit, leaving only him behind. In other words, Su Shicun himself is a character with a lot of news, and now Yu Qiyuan has pushed him to the forefront, making it even more explosive, like adding fuel to the fire.

  "Numerous questions poured in towards Su Xichen 'What was your first impression when you wrote a script for the first time?'"

  "Can Su Yaqian complete more than 60 episodes of script independently within two months?"

  "Shao Feng said you used flowery language to deceive Director Yu Qiyuan. What's your response to this statement?"

  "It is revealed that you played an important role in the crew apart from being a screenwriter, is this statement true?"

  ……

  This feeling is even more crazy than when he held a press conference in Yangcheng, with piles of questions, Su Xichen had no idea how to answer.

  Previously, Zhao Dan was stunned on the spot, and at this time, Yu Qiyuan and others also had no intention of speaking out. It's very clear that Su Shicheng is now the deputy director of the crew. If he can't even handle this situation, it would be too embarrassing.

  Su took a deep breath to encourage herself. She thought that if she could give a speech in front of nearly a thousand people at school, this scene was nothing. So, she treated these cameras as illusions and everything else as illusions!

  Under the table aren't people, they're all little white mice.

  "In his heart, Su had been encouraging himself like this. Holding the microphone, he said: 'Before I answer your questions, may I ask you all a question first? How many mouths does a person have?'"

  What a strange question, can you still grow two mouths?

  "The next question is how many ears does a person have?"

  This question is just as bizarre and unclear, even if someone was born with a disability and only had one ear, what's the point of this question?

  The scene suddenly fell silent, Su Xichen's two questions left all the reporters in a daze.

  "Believe me, the two questions I asked, everyone knows the answer. Ordinary people have one mouth and two ears, but you reporters can hear two questions, and I only have one mouth. You reporter friends, you all know this answer, so just now countless questions came over, my two ears can listen to at most two questions at a time, but I only have one mouth, and I can only answer one question at a time. How can I answer when you ask me so many questions at once?" Su Xichen helplessly spread his hands.

  The reporter below understood that Su Xianchen was actually telling them to quiet down, but what he said also made sense. In such a chaotic scene, no one could ask any questions, so the scene gradually became quieter.

  You Teng nodded involuntarily, and Su Xichen, who was facing such a situation for the first time, did better than most people. Two seemingly unrelated questions successfully turned the tables, seizing the initiative.

  "One question at a time, I'll answer them," Su Xincheng casually pointed to a reporter who looked pleasant.

  "Hello, I'm a reporter from Ming Pao. You're taking on your first role as a screenwriter, is there anything you'd like to say?"

  "Yes, in fact, screenwriters and authors have one thing in common, which is imagination. Whether it's writing or scripting, both require rich imagination. However, I think my imagination has passed the test, so I can write some interesting stories, that's how I gained Director Yu Qiyuan's trust. Of course, although there is this commonality, there are still huge differences between screenplays and novels."

  "This difference also made me feel uncomfortable at first, well, to be precise, very uncomfortable, but I got used to it slowly."

  The next journalist "Regarding what Shao Feng said about the script, I would like to ask Su Yaqin, do you have anything to retort?"

  "One truth I've always believed in: saying a thousand words with your mouth is not as good as taking action. So, whether or not I have the ability, and how excellent my script is, will be proven by time. Everything will be revealed after filming wraps up and it airs, and it's up to the audience to evaluate." Su Rui Chen concluded his speech.

  "What would you like to say about your first collaboration with director Yu Qiyuan?"

  "Director Yu's team can be said to be seniors in the industry, with gold medal photographers and top-notch makeup artists. Even Assistant Director Rong is a well-known figure in the industry who can hold his own. As for me, I'm just a newcomer who needs to learn from all of you seniors. Director Yu is extremely serious about the film industry, and this seriousness is something I can only aspire to. He's truly worthy of being a great director." Su Xichen's words have a hint of flattery, but that's how it is in the industry - even if there are conflicts between people on set, they won't be revealed in front of reporters. Moreover, he gets along quite well with Yu Qiyuan.

  "Hello, I'm a reporter from Wen Hua Daily. Our newspaper has asked many screenwriters in the industry about the progress of the script, and they all say that it's impossible to complete it within two months, including some well-known screenwriters in the industry. So, Mr. Su Rui Chen, do you think you can complete the script within two months? Do you feel that you have surpassed the well-known screenwriters in the industry?"

  This question is very difficult to answer. If Su Shicun answers yes, then the hat of being disrespectful to his seniors will be put on him. If Su Shicun answers no, then it means that completing the script within two months was just an empty promise made by the crew, which would damage the reputation of the crew. This question is indeed a dilemma.

  Yu Qiyuan's eyes were slightly solemn, this question was not easy to answer.

  "So I'd like to ask this journalist friend a question, which is more important, the ear or the mouth?" The reporter from Wen Hui Bao was stunned, which one is more important, how do you answer that? If you say the ear is important, without a mouth you can hear things but can't speak. If you say the mouth is important, without an ear you don't even know what the other person is saying.

  The newspaper reporter replied, "There's nothing better than this."

  Upon hearing the reporter's response, Su Rui Chen smiled in satisfaction. "Similarly, my answer is the same as this reporter friend's. My style is different from that of seniors in the screenwriting industry. It can't be measured by speed to see who is more powerful. To use an analogy, it's like 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. Cao Xueqin spent ten years completing it, while nowadays authors can publish a book in just three to five years. Just because they write faster than Cao Xueqin doesn't mean their work surpasses his. It's unfair to compare them that way. Likewise, it's not right to measure the quality of a script by its speed."

  Sounds reasonable, but in fact Su Rui Chen is just playing with words.

  Yu Qiyuan's solemn expression dissipated, revealing a smile, as if saying "good" to a sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed little kid.

  The reporter of Wen Hua Daily also sensed that Su Shi-ming was evading the question and wanted to continue asking, but was stopped by Yu Qi-yuan. " 'Journey to the West' is worth everyone's expectation. As for the script, Su Shi-ming as a screenwriter has written an absolutely wonderful script, which is why I am so confident. It's indeed a miracle that he completed more than 60 episodes in two months, but miracles are meant to be surpassed. In just one month, Su Shi-ming has already completed all the scripts."

  Wow!!

  Yu Qiyuan's words were like a depth charge thrown into the water, causing a huge stir.

  It was already a miracle to finish the script in two months, but now it's been shortened by half, even if you rush, there's no need to rush to this extent! This is a 60-episode script, finishing it in one month is impossible, even if you had three pairs of hands! And you don't have three pairs of hands anyway!

  What shocked the reporters even more was that Yu Qiyuan announced another piece of news: "In addition, at my invitation, Su Xilai will serve as both screenwriter and deputy director of this drama."

  As soon as this message was sent out, it immediately caused a stir and reporters erupted like a volcano.

  "What kind of situation would Director Yu make such a decision under?"

  "Firstly, Su Xianchen's script can be said to be the most outstanding talent I have ever seen, and the script is his own creation, which will play a decisive role in the selection of roles." Yu Qiyuan's evaluation of Su Xianchen is extremely high.

  "Excuse me, does Su Rui Chen feel any pressure becoming the deputy director of the drama team?"

  "What would you like to say about becoming the world's youngest deputy director?"

  "May I ask Su Shi Chen, will you give up literature and move towards the entertainment industry in the future?"

  "What changes will be made to the script compared to the original work?" Questions about Su Rixing poured out one after another, and it can be imagined that after the opening ceremony, the name Su Rixing will surely set off a national frenzy.

  Next is the Q&A session with the main cast, but these reporters seem somewhat disinterested because they already got the biggest scoop of the day and are now thinking about how to come up with sensational headlines to boost sales.

  "Su Shi-De is afraid that your title will have to be added with the world's youngest deputy director." You Teng was delighted to hear this phenomenon, because the higher the media attention, the more "New Journey to the West" would attract attention.

  The most popular person in the crew is not Yu Qiyuan, the director, nor the leading actors, but Su Shicheng, the deputy director. This has to be said that it's something that has never happened before in the entertainment industry.

  "Good luck, genius writer, Huaxia's youngest screenwriter, the world's youngest deputy director, these titles can bring a lot of attention to the crew," said Yu Qiyuan.

  Applying the phrase "he's on fire!" to him, his current popularity has surpassed that of a first-rate writer, but unfortunately, it's not because of his literary works.

  On his way back to the hotel, many reporters wanted to interview him, but all were rejected by Su Rui Chen. A big tree attracts strong winds, and being too high-profile is not good after all.

  The next day, the reports outside were really earth-shattering——

  Huaxia's youngest screenwriter turns into the world's youngest deputy director, Su Shichen tells you that nothing is impossible!
