Chapter 60: The Beginning of a Legend?
The screenwriter of "The Wanderer" is named Qian Zhong, a literary young man who wears glasses and looks quite sophisticated, but he is poor.
It's been two years since he graduated from college, and before graduation, he stared at the Huaxia film market with high spirits, and felt that he could write a script casually with his talent, and big directors of big companies such as Joaquin and Tianyu rushed to ask for it, and then dragged his qualifications, put on a score, and bit the price a little, and it was not a big problem to sell a script for fifty or sixty thousand......
then made a movie, sold well at the box office, won various screenwriting awards, and within a few years, he became a well-known overlooking the mountains in China, enjoying thousands of glory and stepping on the peak of life.
Unfortunately, the reality is very cruel.
The carefully prepared script was thrown to Joaquin and Tianyu for a long time and there was no response, and even a few times those people received their scripts, and their expressions were very enthusiastic and sincere, but when they left, they deliberately hid by the windowsill and looked inside the house, and saw them thrown into the trash.
Throw it in like waste paper.
Reality is not a fairy tale, there may be a step to the sky, but it takes luck.
Obviously, Qian Zhong did not have this kind of luck.
Being rejected again and again, failing again and again made Qian Zhong miserable, but he was unwilling to let him give up everything and continue to go to work or be a clerk like everyone else......
After all, his dream is to become a screenwriter and make awesome movies to make himself famous in one fell swoop.
Two years have passed in a hurry, and the high-spirited young man at the beginning is getting older, although he still firmly writes the script and submits books to major companies as always, but the whole person becomes sad and sighs, feeling that there is no Bole in this world......
Until one day, when he was eating barbecue and drinking alcohol at a roadside stall, he met a fat man.
The fat man sat opposite him, and just as he was reading the script and thinking about going to cast again, this time he wanted a second-rate director to read the script anyway, and the fat man looked at his appearance and took the initiative to go up and talk to him.
"You're an actor?"
"No ......"
"Then you are ......"
"I'm reading the script......"
"Not an actor when you read the script?"
"I'm a screenwriter......"
"Oh, have you made any movies?"
"Nope. ”
After looking at the fat man's excited expression, Qian Zhong closed his eyes, and suddenly let out a long sigh, and could only spit out these two words.
I don't know why, he has always been strong, and he suddenly couldn't help but have a sour nose after remembering the experience of these years, although he reminded himself in every possible way that he couldn't cry or cry, but his eyes were still red.
"I also know a great screenwriter, but that screenwriter doesn't cry like you. ”
"What can I do? No one likes my script, no one wants to make ......"
"Can't you shoot it yourself......?"
"I don't have any money. ”
"Hey, you look much older than my buddy, but the gap is ...... It's not a star!" Wei Fatzi shook his head.
"Is your screenwriter buddy like me?"
"Of course it's different. ”
"Huh?"
"He writes his own screenplays, pulls his own investment, becomes his own director, and even wants to be an actor himself, and the movie will be released next month, do you think it can be the same?"
"Hold the Grass ......"
When he heard this, Qian Zhong's eyes widened, and the whole person was too surprised to suddenly come out with these two very polite words.
This man is a monster, right?
"Show me your script, boy, I'm actually a director. ”
"Are you...... You ......"
"Lucky boy, come on, show me the script, maybe your chance has come!"
"Good ......"
……………………………………
Wei Fatzi definitely doesn't admit that he is a fool or a pit.
Instead, he advertised himself as a kind person.
Isn't it kind to spend 5,000 to buy a script, and by the way, to sign a director's assistant with Lu Yuan's consent to provide this poor and unlucky guy with a job?
It's just kind to the bone, okay!
He feels that he has saved a fairly good screenwriter in Huaxia, and he is a great Bole!
He even wanted to send himself a good guy card if he could.
A good script, coupled with his own talented director, plus an actor who performs in his true colors......
Everything will change qualitatively!
He was full of confidence in this "Wanderer", and even called Li Qing drunkenly on the day he bought the script.
"Lao Li, let's do it with Ah Yuan and me, let's turn the entire movie industry upside down!"
Li Qing was greatly moved when he heard this, and responded very enthusiastically with three words: "Neuropathy!"
Although he responded to these three words, Li Qing still agreed, and asked Wei Fatzi when he would turn on the machine by the way.
Lu Yuan didn't say anything about this, he couldn't dampen Wei Fatzi's enthusiasm, didn't he? In the end, he just stepped up his professional knowledge of acting, and waited for the premiere of "Buried Alive" by the way.
No matter what he thinks in his heart, in short, his "remote" entertainment now has another screenwriter Qian Zhong who wears glasses and looks a little weak, and when this Qian Zhong sees Lu Yuan, he always shouts "Brother Lu" and "Brother Lu", and at the same time looks like a little fan brother adoring.
There is no other reason, because Wei Fatzi once said such a sentence to him very pretending to be very literary and artistic......
"What you're seeing is the rise of a legendary team, and this legend starts with this 'Buried Alive'...... As for our "remote" entertainment, you don't think it's a small company at the moment, but in the future, it's going to be too big for you to imagine......"
"Are you ready?"
Wei Fatzi's words are very demagogic and incendiary, like a pyramid scheme.
At that moment......
Qian Zhong urinated with interest......
……………………………………
August 31, fine.
Strictly speaking, "Buried Alive" premiered after 11.59 p.m. tonight.
This is a very cheating time, even more cheating than those midnight stalls, and it can be said that it is the only movie that has been released in the early morning among the recently released movies.
No one in the circle paid attention to this movie, Jet Shen didn't even want to mention this movie, no matter how Fat Wei shouted, Jet Shen didn't have a bird, let alone posted any messages mocking this movie on the Internet.
He couldn't fall into the trap of Wei Fatzi.
He is also a well-known director in the circle, if he jumps out to mock this movie, wouldn't it be an advertisement for this movie?
Fools would do that.
He's not stupid.
Although September 1 is not October 1st, there are quite a lot of movies released, and many medium-budget and small-budget films deliberately avoid the moment of explosion to being crushed on November 11, and choose this relatively less competitive September 1st.
Despite this, September 1 is still a strong film, such as Zhang Tong's "Subway Station", Jet Shen's "Capital", Xu Xiaoming's "War Night", and many youth literary films.
"Buried Alive" really doesn't have much room to survive in these films, even if Lu Yuan made a wave of advertisements on the Internet and made a wave of headlines, it didn't make this "Buried Alive" rank among the top ten movies released in September......
"Doodoo"
At noon, Lu Yuan put on a suit, combed his hair into the appearance of a mature person, and was about to go to the theater to watch other movies first, when the phone rang.
Lu Yuan saw that it was Wang Jinxue's phone call after a long absence.
"Where?"
"In the company. ”
"Oh, here we are. ”
"We?"
"You haven't read Weibo?"
"Ah...... Didn't see it, what's wrong?"
"I said, can you care more about your own movies?"
"I care. ”
"Look at An Xiao's Weibo by yourself. ”
"Oh. ”
When the phone hung up, Lu Yuan turned on his phone and swiped Weibo.
After clicking on An Xiao's Weibo, I saw a picture and a line of text.
"In the early morning of September 1st, I will go to Tianhe Cinema to watch "Buried Alive"...... Come together, the top ten fans, I will send me an autographed photo! As for which area of Tianhe is a theater, it depends on everyone's luck!"
