Chapter 107: The Old Pen

The Qinghu Trade Center, where the studio is located, has a good location and a wide view.

Wu Huai looked into the distance, and the light rail on the viaduct in the distance swept by with white lines, and a group of white birds spread out like pieces of paper, flying in the glow.

It has been a week since the finale, and Wu Huai has gradually adjusted from Mei Changsu's state, and the spirit of the whole person is very good.

Wu Huai, the post-production of "Langya Bang", was handed over to Jiang Shouyuan to be in charge of it, and Wu Huai returned to the studio to deal with the backlog of affairs.

There was a knock on the door, and Wu Huai adjusted the direction of the chair and said, "Come in." ”

Zhuang Xingxing pushed the door in and asked softly, "Ahuai, the interview candidates we have made an appointment for the afternoon have arrived." ”

Wu Huai nodded and said, "Well, you let them come in one by one!"

"Okay, then I'll arrange it!" Zhuang Xingxing nodded and said.

Waiting for Zhuang Xingxing to walk out of the door, Wu Huai looked at the several resumes placed on the table.

What Wu Huai wants to recruit this time is an old pen that can restore the film and television works in his mind.

Just like "Langya Bang", it took him more than two months to write a novel.

In the future, the studio will grow bigger and bigger, and if everything had to be done by himself, Wu Huai would not have so much time at all.

But if there is an old pen with an experienced pen, Wu Huai only needs to tell the other party the main context of the story, the development of the plot and the character design, and he can save a large part of the time.

While thinking, a young man of twenty-five or sixteen walked into the office.

"Sit here," Wu Huai glanced at the other party and said with a smile: "Introduce yourself." ”

Chen Yangshuo's face was full of confidence, and he said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Wu, I am Chen Yangshuo, graduated from the Department of Chinese of BGI, and has published a total of 169 literary short stories, and has published a novella "Never Say Never" ......"

Wu Huai liked his confidence, took the book he handed over and flipped through it.

After just reading a few pages, Wu Huai made a decision in his heart.

This "Never Say Never" begins with the loss of a school basketball game, which is a good starting point, but it is too showy in the text.

That kind of flowery rhetoric is quite marketable among the student group, but it is still far from Wu Huai's requirements.

"Very well written...... But can you create in a more concise style?" Wu Huai asked softly.

Chen Yangshuo chuckled and said: "With all due respect, I think my style of writing is more in line with the market, and the concise style is too straightforward, like a running account......"

Wu Huai disagrees with his point of view, in his opinion, conciseness is a very good style of writing, and it is not easy to express rich and profound content with fewer words, which is not easy to do and worthy of praise.

Wu Huai exchanged a few more words with Chen Yangshuo, and then politely rejected him.

When Chen Yangshuo left, his face was still unconvinced, as if Wu Huai didn't know anyone.

Wu Huai shook his head with a wry smile and let the next interviewee in.

The second interviewer is Miao You, a professional writer for a story magazine.

In the past few years, he has also been in the limelight for a while, and has many fans and followers.

But in the past two years, because of the decline of that magazine, he has gradually become unpopular.

Essay pen, he is much better than Chen Yangshuo, at least he won't be so bells and whistles.

But when he asked for part of the copyright of the manuscript, Wu Huai had no way to accept it.

……

In the waiting room, there are also five interviewers, most of whom are high-spirited and confident.

But in the corner on the side, there was also an interviewer who looked like an old farmer with a weathered face.

His name is Sorghum, and he is an old screenwriter, and he has written no less than two million words with that old pen in his pocket.

But to date, his name has never appeared on any screen.

He is upright and does not know how to be flexible, he is confident in his own stories, but in the face of the cruel reality, he can only admit defeat......

In 65, he was born in a small town in the West Hills.

His father used to work in the county seat, but because of his background, he was sent to his hometown to teach Chinese as a primary school teacher in the village.

Because of his father, Sorghum was very interested in those words that were very charming.

When he was in the fifth grade of elementary school, he published an essay in "Xishan Youth", and then he was out of control.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he began to write novels, which was highly valued by the local writers' association, and he could be regarded as a budding novel.

As I get older, the pen becomes more and more spicy, and the charm in the article is like an old wine, the more you taste it, the more fragrant it becomes.

But in addition to the growing pen power, Sorghum with an upright personality is still impoverished in life.

Fortunately, the old father found him a girl with a blue heart.

Life is poor, but his wife has no complaints.

For his wife and children, he feels guilty, although he has articles in his chest, he is useless.

He started writing scripts 10 years ago.

That day, the fat-headed and big-eared brother-in-law came to see his sister, and after drinking some wine, he couldn't help but say a few unpleasant words.

"Why don't you write a script if you write such a good article! If you can sell a copy, you don't have to let my sister and nephew accompany you to live this hard life!"

This sentence made him feel guilty and speechless.

But at the same time, it also pointed out a broad road for him! He thought it was a broad road......

After studying and researching, he began to write scripts.

is different from the previous casual and comfortable, but writing a script must pay attention to rules.

What can and can't be written, what the audience likes and dislikes, how to create characters, and what plot is infectious......

There are too many things to consider, and it is not easy to write.

As a result, creation becomes a painful thing, just like giving birth to a child, you have to squeeze it little by little.

I finally wrote a script, but I was thrown back like garbage.

At that time, he realized that no circle is easy to mix.

A person with no background, wanting to enter the circle of screenwriters is not as simple as he imagined.

After writing the manuscript, he still has to submit it to those film and television companies for review, if it doesn't matter, whether the script can reach the desk of the person in charge is a question.

Fortunately, his writing is first-class and sharp, and he was introduced to become an unknown gunman under the banner of a famous screenwriter.

In this way, his life improved, but becoming a screenwriter became his obsession.

After several trials, Sorghum finally wrote a very good book, which is his best script to date.

He originally wanted to help himself deliver through the relationship of the famous screenwriter.

This was followed by endless revisions and waiting.

The end result made him feel cold and hopeless......
