Chapter 529: Take it for yourself
Probably from the beginning of writing the script by himself, Lin Xiaoguang developed the habit of reading.
When I usually go to the company and have nothing to do, I don't forget to take a stack of scripts and read them.
This morning, Liang Guoer came in with a document.
Lin Xiaoguang, who was reading the script, giggled from time to time, and scolded while laughing: "What a grandson!"
Liang Guoer could hear that tone was not scolding the author, it was a kind of heartfelt love and appreciation that she couldn't find the right words to express.
Liang Guo'er asked him: "Xiaoguang, who wrote the script? ”
Lin Xiaoguang handed the script to Liang Guoer and said, "A little-known author, his name is Ren Peng." ”
Liang Guoer took the script and saw the name of the script "Hypnosis Archive: Sleepless All Night".
To be honest, in fact, Ren Peng's so-called script, in Lin Xiaoguang's opinion, cannot be regarded as a serious script at all, but is more like a book, but the story is really interesting.
Lin Xiaoguang lit a cigarette and said faintly: "Guo'er, you help me find this person for me, I want to buy his script." ”
"Okay, I'll contact him right away. After Liang Guo'er finished speaking, she turned around to leave.
"Eh, Guo'er, you wait, you can help me send this script to Xu Zheng by the way, see if he is interested!"
"Okay, I'll do it right away. Liang Guo'er nodded.
As soon as Liang Guo'er left, Lin Xiaoguang immediately dialed Xu Zheng's phone.
"Lao Xu, when you heard about me, I saw a very cool story today, and just looking at the script makes people want to stop. ”
"Who wrote the script? You give such a high rating?"
"A script written by a nobody, about hypnosis, is very suspenseful, if you read the beginning, you will never think of the end. ”
Xu Zheng on the other end of the phone was stunned for a while, and then asked in disbelief: "Is it really fake?"
"Really! It's just such a boast! Because hypnosis itself is full of mystery, it is easy for people to enter a world of illusions, if we can present hypnosis on the big screen, it will be even more dazzling, as far as I know, this theme of hypnosis has never been challenged in China! Do you want to challenge it?"
"Don't fool me, wait until I read the script!"
The next afternoon.
Liang Guoer helped Lin Xiaoguang find Ren Peng.
Ren Peng is a typical post-80s, science and engineering man, addicted to words, especially prefers thriller suspense literature and movies.
Ren Peng, who graduated from Southwest Jiaotong University, is a shy IT man born in the 80s, but he loved to write suspense during college, and he has been mixed in the Tianya Forum all year round.
Since 2009, Ren Peng has been serializing "Horror Stories, Never Drag the Mud" on the Internet, and he has tasted the joy of writing for the first time.
In mid-2011, he completed his first screenwriting work - "Hypnosis Archive: Sleepless All Night", and officially joined the screenwriting army.
It was during this period that Ren Peng submitted a manuscript to Light and Shadow Pictures under the introduction of a friend, and Lin Xiaoguang had the opportunity to see the script of "Hypnosis Archive: Sleepless All Night" in the company.
"Lin Dong, hello ......"
Seeing a big celebrity like Lin Xiaoguang for the first time in reality, it is difficult for Ren Peng not to be nervous.
Lin Xiaoguang looked at Ren Peng, who was sitting opposite him, it was simply the legendary Tufei house, so he asked with a smile: "You are Ren Peng?"
Ren Peng nodded hurriedly: "Yes...... Lin Dong, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Xiao Ren......"
Seeing that Ren Peng, a young man, was not impetuous at all, Lin Xiaoguang nodded with satisfaction, and then said calmly: "Xiao Ren, I read the script of "Hypnosis Files" you wrote, I personally like it very much, I decided to buy the film and television adaptation copyright of your script. ”
Before Ren Peng had time to be happy, Lin Xiaoguang continued: "In this way, you make a price!"
"This ......"
Ren Pengmeng, he has never seen such a way of communication, and this submission to Light and Shadow Pictures is purely a matter of luck, he originally felt that he could give a little money, the key is whether it can be made into a movie.
When he came to Shaojing this time, Ren Peng didn't expect that Lin Xiaoguang would be so direct.
Looking at Ren Peng's hesitant appearance, Lin Xiaoguang said angrily and funny: "Say it, don't be embarrassed, this is the fruit of your labor, and you are qualified to price it." ”
Ren Peng hesitated for a long time, and said, "Amount...... That...... Three...... 300,000, Lin Dong, do you think it's okay?"
Faced with such a cabbage price, Lin Xiaoguang smiled and nodded: "Okay, no problem, in this way, I will give you another 200,000, and after a while, you will go to work in my company, join our screenwriting team, and follow me to make movies in the future." ”
"Really?" Ren Peng stared at Lin Xiaoguang in disbelief, he couldn't believe this fact, because happiness came too suddenly.
Lin Xiaoguang smiled and quipped, "What?
Ren Peng hurriedly shook his head and said, "No...... I do, I want to, I dream of someone making my script into a movie!"
Lin Xiaoguang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Is it? Xiao Ren, you are really a talent, I see that you are very boring and shy, how could you think of writing such unpopular topics as suspicion and reasoning?"
After contact, he found that Lin Xiaoguang was so approachable, Ren Peng lost the restraint at the beginning, thought about it, and said calmly: "Maybe it's because I like this genre, I think the most important thing as a screenwriter is to constantly break through yourself and bring freshness to the audience, even if it is an old trick, you have to play new tricks, and always go one step more than the audience." ”
Lin Xiaoguang changed his words: "However, now that more and more post-80s screenwriters are coming out, since you have decided to become a screenwriter, have you considered what your positioning for the future is?"
Of course, I am still a post-80s screenwriter, if I can, I want to strive to be a post-90s screenwriter. Ren Peng said a cold joke coldly, and he laughed.
In October 2011, 29-year-old Ren Peng made a major decision, he resigned from his real estate planning job, and also cleared all his previous work experience and connections, came to Beijing, followed Lin Xiaoguang, and joined Light and Shadow Pictures Co., Ltd.
Because Ren Peng himself likes thriller and suspense stories to the point that he can't extricate himself, he is inevitably demanding on the story.
Under Lin Xiaoguang's strict requirements, Ren Peng began to adapt the script day and night, and after changing it several times in a row, he handed over the script to Lin Xiaoguang.
Later, Lin Xiaoguang handed over the script adaptation of "Hypnosis Archive: Sleepless All Night" to Ren Peng.
Ren Peng graduated with a major in computer science, and he can write him, but the script format and sub-scenes are not understandable.
Lin Xiaoguang didn't think it was a problem, so he threw him a ready-made script and wrote it down like that.
On the other hand, Lin Xiaoguang just had the mentality of trying it out at first, and asked Liang Guoer to send the script to Xu Zheng, but he didn't expect Xu Zheng to read the script of "Hypnosis Files: Sleepless All Night", not only agreed to act, but also happily served as the director.
