Chapter 2 Self-employment
As the saying goes, 'If you don't die in a big disaster, you will have a blessing in the future', Lu Wenbin, who was struck by lightning but did not die, although he became the object of conversation among teachers and students. But this kind of topic soon disappeared into a lot of campus entertainment gossip.
The most important thing is that Lu Wenbin is about to graduate, and he used to be very low-key in school. It is very rare for such a small person to become the object of a discussion between teachers and students of the whole school. If you want to keep people thinking about it, it's naturally unlikely.
Lu Wenbin, who was discharged from the hospital and returned to campus, rarely experienced a few days of leisurely campus life, but immediately faced the trouble of finding a job after graduation. Just accompanied Hu Feipeng and others for a few days, Lu Wenbin found that his major was very pitiful.
Screenwriter, sounds like a very tall profession. But for graduates like Lu Wenbin, there are countless new screenwriters who graduate every year in the empire. But it's rare to hear that there are a few graduates who can actually become screenwriters.
If you have a way, you can be an intern for some senior screenwriters, and follow the crew to familiarize yourself with some processes of film and television production. If you have no way, you can often only find some work like advertising curation to do first.
Although screenwriters can make up stories, it is also not easy to do whether the stories that can be written can be made appealing. As for writing a script, someone pays to buy or shoot it, this kind of thing only exists in novels.
Connections, qualifications are more important than strength to a large extent, no one leads the door, if you work your own, I'm afraid it will be difficult to become a real screenwriter. Therefore, it is normal to hit a wall one after another when looking for a job.
Looking at the two roommates who stayed in the dormitory every day to study small movies, Lu Wenbin also began to realize that he needed to do something. At least he knew how difficult it was for his family to support him in college.
Can't you still reach out to your family for living expenses after graduating and can't even find a job?
After some careful consideration, Lu Wenbin finally decided to dispel those unrealistic ideas. His most difficult problem at the moment is to find a way to make money so that he can survive in the imperial capital.
In the first few days of crossing, Lu Wenbin also tried to find out if he also brought any golden fingers. In the end, it turned out that he didn't seem to have become a superman with a system, but he also had a golden finger that made him happy.
Speaking of which, to be able to find this golden finger, thanks to these two roommates who returned to the dormitory and began to study small movies. After being dragged together to study, Lu Wenbin suddenly found that he had several classic small movies that he had watched many times in his previous life.
Similar to Jing Fatzi's 'All the Way West' and the first three-D technology to shoot 'Yupu Tuan', etc., the clips of these movies are very clear in Lu Wenbin's mind. And these movies, there is no time and space in this time.
After some research, Lu Wenbin finally made some ecstatic discoveries. In addition to his soul traveling to this time and space, the information stored in his laptop in his previous life seems to have also become the memory data in his brain.
There are cases of celebrity planning that are conducive to work, and there are many novels and movies used to pass the time, and there are also many songs. This discovery made Lu Wenbin feel that it should not be a problem to change the way of life in this life.
In his previous life, he made money to be a grandson for others, even if his family background was still very ordinary in this life, Lu Wenbin believed that he could live an extraordinary life. Maybe he, a toad in the eyes of others, may not have a chance to eat swan meat.
I know that there is not much time left until graduation, and I will have to move out of the dormitory where I can live now, and I will have to move out after the graduation celebration. In fact, many of the students who are still staying in the dormitory of the college have not found a job.
Most of the students who do find jobs move outside the college. And Lu Wenbin, who doesn't want to go home for the time being, at least needs to earn money for renting a house and daily expenses as soon as possible. Speaking of which, this seems to be a bit of a time rush.
After consulting a lot of information on the Internet, combined with some of his own situation, Lu Wenbin finally decided to try the road of online writer first. After all, there are a lot of classic web novels stored in his head!
Even if online literature is in the Yanhuang Empire, it is also a new thing born of the Internet. But Lu Wenbin found that the income of some online writers is really not low. At least in his opinion, it was a lot better than when he crossed over.
The reason for this is that the Yanhuang Empire has a strong sense of copyright. Coupled with the rapid development of online information, the annual income of some well-known online writers even far exceeds that of physical literary writers.
After some screening, Lu Wenbin chose a website called Haohan Literature. This website is currently among the many online literature websites in the Yanhuang Empire, ranking relatively high, and all kinds of author benefits are relatively generous.
And the first online novel that Lu Wenbin chose to upload was his personal favorite supernatural suspense novel. Novels of this theme are also more popular among readers of online novels in this time and space.
As for martial arts and fairy novels, Lu Wenbin thinks it's better not to touch them for the time being. The sword goes off the rails, and sometimes it may get better results. For him, the popularity of his first web novel is really important.
'Ghost Blows the Lamp', an extremely classic suspense tomb robbery novel in the previous life. Although Lu Wenbin has a novel with a similar theme in his mind. But in the end, Lu Wenbin still chose 'Ghost Blowing the Lamp' as his pioneering work.
The site of the first story described in the ghost blowing lantern, the 'Exquisite Ancient City', is not far from Lu Wenbin's hometown in this time and space. And a series of archaeological discoveries about the exquisite ancient city of the Yanhuang Empire also made many people know about this place.
Receiving the information of the host in his brain, Lu Wenbin found that he had heard a lot of legends about the Elite Country in his hometown when he was a child. With these personal experiences as a reference, it is more convincing to write this 'ghost blowing the lamp'.
decided to take the road of online writers, Lu Wenbin decisively ended his life of running around the talent market to submit resumes for interviews, and began to devote himself to the code word family. After writing the first three chapters, Lu Wenbin registered a writer account.
When choosing the author's name, Lu Wenbin thought for a while and finally said: "Most of the works that will be displayed from my hands in the future come from another world. In addition to being a porter, I am also known as a thief in the entertainment industry. ”
With this kind of cognition, Lu Wenbin finally took the author's name 'Big Thief'. In his opinion, the author's name is somewhat close to the novel he wrote on this theme. After all, tomb robbery is also robbery!
When it came time to write an author's aphorism, Lu Wenbin quickly wrote: "Entertainment does not die, and thieves do not stop!"
This sentence originally came from a passage by the thinker Zhuangzi during the Warring States Period, and his words were originally 'The saint does not die, and the thief does not stop'. Lu Wenbin, who had read a lot of Taoist books in his previous life, naturally knew that Zhuangzi was also one of the main representatives of the Taoist school.
After uploading the preface of the first chapter, Lu Wenbin quietly waited for the website to be reviewed. Fortunately, this kind of review is very simple, and in less than ten minutes, Lu Wenbin's writer's background received a notice that he could continue to upload his work after the review.
Lu Wenbin, who also tried to be an online writer in his previous life, knows very well that there is no need to be excited at this time. This is only the first step in writing an online article, and then whether you can sign a contract is the most critical thing.
Knowing that the online writer did not save the manuscript, it was a very bitter thing, Lu Wenbin decided to write the first story of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" first. He believes that with this story as a foundation, it should attract the attention of many readers.
Originally, the three of them went in and out of the campus together every day, but now Lu Wenbin is nesting in the dormitory every day, which naturally makes the two roommates who are also unhappy in finding a job very puzzled. The boss Hu Pengfei even said with concern: "Fifth brother, you don't plan to look for a job?"
We are a major, and it is impossible to find the right job now. No one introduced us, and no one wanted us to join the crew as interns. I might as well be self-employed!'
After four years of hard study, I suddenly found that I was nothing, and I was really aggrieved!"
Even in the eyes of outsiders, they are students of the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy. But the only people who can really get to know are those students from the acting department and the directing department. There are very few screenwriting students who can find a professional job.
Looking at Hu Pengfei, who was very disappointed when he came back every day, Lu Wenbin, who was now unable to protect himself, could only comfort: "Boss, it's really not good, you first find a copywriter or planning job in an advertising company."
If you really want to work in the imperial capital, you always have to find a place to settle down. By the way, doesn't the third child have a way to a TV station? If you don't let him help introduce the work, you can find a crew first!"
The third child is just an intern himself, so he can help me introduce jobs. Alas, it really can't be done, so I can only find a job to transition first. By the way, what have you been doing for the past two days?'
If you can't be a screenwriter, let's see if we can be a writer. This is an online novel I wrote, and the boss will help guide me to see how my writing skills are.
'Web novels?'
As long as it attracts readers, it's a high-paying profession. Of course, I didn't want to make a lot of money with this, as long as I could earn the cost of living in the imperial capital, I would be very satisfied. After all, it's a practice work!'
After sharing the written chapters with Hu Pengfei, Lu Wenbin also wanted to hear the roommate's opinion. After all, some of the place names and character backgrounds in the ghost blowing lantern have been modified by Lu Wenbin, and whether they can be recognized remains to be tested by readers!
