31.Chapter 31 Yanying has started school
Within a few days, the West Bank Screenwriters' Guild's office phone was flooded.
"I want to know the contact information of NB, is it because your association didn't relay the information about our Fox Group's bid to him? Why didn't he reply? ”
"I wanted to talk to the writer privately, he was supposed to be Asian, and I thought he must be interested in Sony."
"Tell you! I don't care so much! I just want his phone!? Why did this guy hang the script on it and not reply to any of our proposals!?
How much money does this bastard want! Hit and tell us directly! What does it mean to even reply to a word now? What the hell is this bastard going to do!? ”
Hale Wharton, president of the West Coast Writers Guild, was also overwhelmed by this.
The high-ranking production managers of various major companies want to know the identity of NB and want to sign a long-term contract with him.
However, the Screenwriters Guild has a clear law that does not allow the disclosure of members' information without permission, and Haile Wharton can only refuse the other party's requests again and again.
Until one day, out of curiosity, Hale Wharton used his chairman's authority to call the website information, and the moment he saw the NB information, he was also stunned......
Oh my God...... NB turned out to be an 18-year-old college student!? Or a Chinese!?
These facts surprised Haile Wharton incomparably.
It's impossible......
Although the style of its storyboard is immature, the dialogue of the characters is concise, the story is delicate and grand, and the text narration is extremely capable, neither cumbersome nor neglecting the most critical description, which is definitely a screenwriter skill accumulated over the years.
18 years old...... Even if he is a true genius, he will have all kinds of logical errors due to lack of experience~
Could it be that this guy registered with a fake ......?
Hale Wharton quickly thought of the biggest possibility, this guy named NB could well be a top "script hunter" in his own right......
He released the good scripts he had hoarded for many years, so that his peers could raise the price, and after taking the initiative, he would privately negotiate with major companies to get a good price .......
If so, this guy is too insidious...... Hale Wharton consciously judged that this NB must be one of the old foxes in Hollywood's six major companies......
Thinking of this, Hale Wharton couldn't help but feel angry, this bastard dared to use the Screenwriters Guild as a tool to inflate his value?
Although it is not illegal to do this, it is definitely the most disgusting scoundrel in the industry!
Hale Wharton felt that he, as the president of the Writers Guild, should remind this guy that he didn't leave a phone number, only an email address, so he sent an email to the other party's email address.
At this time, Yanjing City, in a cheap rental house.
Gu Xiaofan had just finished drawing half of the storyboard of "The Dark Knight" on the table, and he was dizzy, and in the past few days, since he was saddened by the bid of the screenwriter's network, he has never logged on to the profiteer website again.
Gu Xiaofan had just ordered a bowl of quick-frozen dumplings and was about to have a full meal, when he suddenly heard a sound of "Ding Dong" in the mailbox. I couldn't help but walk to the computer impatiently, frowning and clicking on my QQ mailbox.
There's a new email in English? Click on Jinshan Quick Translation to translate, under the messy grammar, I can understand the general meaning, saying that his script has been favored by major companies, and the bid is expensive, and I hope he will take the initiative to contact the office of the West Bank Screenwriters Association, with the phone number xxxxxx.
This is the third scam email this week, and it's not the same to keep the phone, the first two calls turned out to be a Chinese, saying that he would mail the deposit himself, and then he could receive the script fee......
Gu Xiaofan couldn't help but scolded in his heart: Mom, are all the Internet fraudsters so high-end now~? will fool people in English!
It's all fucking peers, so why be in a hurry~
Gu Xiaofan deleted the email without thinking about it, and he was going to Yanying to report tomorrow, he didn't have the time to pay attention to these bad things~
In order to upload those scripts, I can't even pay Yan Ying's tuition fees for the next semester now, alas, how to make money while going to school as soon as possible is the most important thing......
Gu Xiaofan didn't know that at the end of the email, it was written that he had become one of the top ten screenwriters in the world in terms of value yesterday......
At the moment, he is still worried about tuition, and his worth has quietly exceeded 500,000 US dollars......
The three-month summer vacation finally came to an end, and on the first day of school in 2006, the weather was very pleasant.
In the bright sun, Gu Xiaofan walked slowly into Yanying's school gate.
Along the road are fresh and excited faces, these handsome guys and beauties of the same age from all over the country, everyone walks in here with excitement and trepidation.
It is hard for the layman to imagine that this small school is the premier film school in Asia.
Gu Xiaofan's mood was inevitably a little excited, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wenli, Tang Guoqiang, these super celebrities, were also newcomers like him......
However, the excitement did not last long, and the new students had already started to meet for the first time at social events, chatting about various topics related to movies and acting.
What kind of human nature is described in Akira Kurosawa's "Rashomon", and what precedent did Ulusifsky's "Yan Nanfei" create a photography method, and only Gu Xiaofan is almost the same as talking......
He really wanted to wait until someone talked about Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingchi, which he knew, and he could also go up and join in the fun.
But alas...... These literary and artistic young people in the film academy don't talk about such a simple topic at all......
Seeing the freshmen gathering together and chatting, Gu Xiaofan could only stand alone and look around.
This is what he really hopes that Lou Yixiao is here...... At least someone can speak......
An hour later, Yanying opened the school.
"Students, your experience of sitting at this opening ceremony today and the facts have proved that your destiny has always been won by your own choice and struggle...... You are about to make this great and glorious field of art official~"
At the grand opening ceremony, President Zhang Wentao gave an emotional speech on the podium, and the banner behind him that "warmly welcomes new students from all walks of life to join the Yanying family" fluttered in the wind.
Offstage, Gu Xiaofan, who was sitting in the crowd, once again felt that he was out of place with these classmates.
In the environment of beautiful women and handsome guys, not only are female classmates wearing exquisite makeup, but even those male classmates with red lips and white teeth are dressed like Korean stars.
Gu Xiaofan could even clearly see their soft bangs, swaying in the wind like the hair of a soft advertising girl......
Although Gu Xiaofan felt that this was a very sissy, when all the men around him were this virtue, this kind of "sissy" became normal.
And he himself...... It seems to be more like a turtle cut out of the soil......
Everyone in the performance department looks like Jin Chengwu raped Zhang Ziyi's baby, only he is wearing a crumpled old T-shirt, and the whole thing is like the art department next door is sitting in the wrong position......
As the first place in the double examination of the art examination, the new students around not only did not look at Gu Xiaofan with envy and admiration, but looked at him as if they were strange.
It's as if he, Gu Xiaofan, seems to be an "orc warrior" who rushed into Stormwind City in the World of Warcraft......
Hostile, surprised, puzzled eyes surrounded him.
