Xu Jinjiang didn't even see Lin Youlun's face, so he became "Fast and Excited. The male protagonist of "Love", while the people who heard about this incident were envious of Xu Jinjiang's good luck, they were a little puzzled in their hearts.

Xu Jinjiang faced the vicious and fierce, standard villain face, how did he get into Lin Youlun's eyes?

Many people are puzzled, and Mai Danxiong, who really knows, is attending a memorial service at this time.

On the table in front of it, there are incense burner offerings, melons and fruits, fresh vegetables, two large white candles are inserted on the two candlesticks, around the table, all kinds of wreaths are stacked into a hill, the wind blows in from outside, the couplings on all sides are fluttering, and the cigarette smoke is swirling.

"There's a guest here!" The master of ceremonies of the memorial service deliberately lengthened his voice, and Mai Danxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan, who had just stepped forward to lay a wreath to the deceased, turned around together, and after seeing the person who came, their eyes were slightly stunned.

Lin Youlun did not expect to meet Mai Danxiong here, the deceased Huang Ying was originally a famous Taiwanese martial arts novelist, whose works had been published in "Ming Pao", after seeing the obituary, Lin Youlun decided to come to worship with the current "Ming Pao" editor-in-chief Dong Qianli, in order to fulfill the friendship of the proprietor of the year.

When they met on this occasion, Lin Youlun and Mai Danxiong only nodded to each other when they passed by, which could be regarded as a greeting.

Lin Youlun and Dong Qianli walked to the spirit, bowed three times to Huang Ying's statue, and walked out of the mourning hall with solemn expressions.

"Mr. Lin, go slowly!" Just as he was about to leave, Mai Danxiong's voice suddenly came from behind him.

Mai Danxiong came out first when Lin Youlun was there, and he waited outside the mourning hall without leaving, thinking that he had something to discuss with Lin Youlun.

There is still something going on at Dong Qianli Newspaper. took the first step to say goodbye and leave. Lin Youlun and Mai Danxiong found a nearby café to sit down. Along with Mai Danxiong is Xiao Ruoyuan, who worshiped Huang Ying with him in the mourning hall before.

Xiao Ruoyuan was born as a TV screenwriter and is known for his erudition, and for a period of time he was known as "the holy hand of screenwriters" and "Xiao Caizi". In the late 70's and early 80's, he and Mak Danxiong were in charge of Leigh's TV as a program planner. After Li's TV selling, Xiao Ruoyuan and Mai Danxiong left the TV station together and switched to film production, and several films such as "Provincial and Hong Kong Flag Soldiers" and "Pretty Girl" shot by Mai Danxiong Production Company. Xiao Ruoyuan has contributed a lot.

And the reason why Lin Youlun was able to remember the name Xiao Ruoyuan was all because of a later film called "3D Meat. The movie of "Futon: Treasure of Bliss", which is known as the world's first 3D tertiary film, is produced by this Xiao Ruoyuan.

mentioned Huang Ying in the conversation, Mai Danxiong and Xiao Ruoyuan were embarrassed, and Lin Youlun only learned at this time that Huang Ying was recruited by Xiao Ruoyuan to Li's TV station, and wrote classic dramas such as "Silkworm Transformation", and since then he has been a screenwriter in the industry. In this way, Xiao Ruoyuan can be regarded as the leader of Huang Ying's entry into the film and television industry. I don't want Bole to be there, but Maxima has already died.

"Don't hide it from Mr. Lin. In fact, I regret it very much now, if I hadn't found Huang Ying Zhili to be a screenwriter and let him continue to write novels, maybe he would still be alive and well now. Xiao Ruoyuan said with a sad face.

Lin Youlun raised his eyebrows, listening to the meaning of Xiao Ruoyuan's words, Huang Ying's death seems to have something else hidden?

Xiao Ruoyuan sighed slightly and did not speak.

Mai Danxiong took over the conversation and explained Lin Youlun's confusion and said: "The obituary said that Huang Ying died of cerebral hemorrhage, but in fact, he was seriously injured and died at home by a loan shark, and his body was found only after it was moldy...... Huang Ying's funeral and this funeral were all done for him by a few friends before his death, and the famous 'ghost king' two years ago was mixed into such a miserable situation, which is really chilling! ”

"Huang Ying was beaten to death?" Lin Youlun was shocked when he heard such a statement for the first time.

After Huang Ying left Li's TV station, he became a film screenwriter in the industry, and the "Mr. Zombie" that set off a wave of zombie movies was written by him. "Mr. Zombie" became popular in the film industry, Huang Ying also became a director, and wrote and directed movies with similar themes such as "Maoshan School" and "Magic High Level", known as the "Ghost King", and was also in the limelight for a while, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, with the improvement of the audience's taste, the traditional zombie films gradually declined, but I didn't expect Huang Ying to fall into the miserable situation of borrowing usury to film.

After learning the truth about Huang Ying's death, Lin Youlun also felt in his heart, although he came to this era and tried hard to change something, there were always some people and things that he couldn't touch and couldn't change.

Mai Danxiong originally asked Lin Youlun to discuss other matters, but seeing that Lin Youlun was not talking about it at the moment, he didn't say anything about it, and only made an appointment with Lin Youlun to talk about it another day.

Lin Youlun just returned home when he received a call from Hong Jinbao and was told bad news.

Huang Bingyao, a gold medal screenwriter who has been by Hong Jinbao's side for a long time as the "Bridge King Military Division", had a heart attack while traveling in Germany, although the rescue saved a life in time, but this heart disease still needs a second operation, and it is still unknown whether he can survive that hurdle.

Hong Jinbao's Baohe Company is now struggling to support it with the number of films, Huang Bingyao's illness is even worse, and the Xiao Suo tone he revealed on the phone made Lin Youlun suspect that the person who called him would still be the big brother in the film industry who guided the country and influenced the current situation?

Hong Jinbao was disheartened, and Lin Youlun could only comfort him on the phone, hung up the phone, and sat alone in the study thinking about it.

There are not many excellent screenwriters in Hong Kong, "Er Huang" is one of the best, and now that Huang Ying is dead and Huang Bingyao is seriously ill, Lin Youlun sighed with emotion, and also thought of integrating the existing screenwriters in Hong Kong, and can no longer be as unorganized as before. All the screenwriters formed an organization and took care of each other, so as to avoid a tragic incident like Huang Ying, who died for several days before being discovered.

With the great strides in the development of Hong Kong films in recent years, the local film industry has taken this opportunity to accelerate the pace of formalization and organization - the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, the Hong Kong Film Directors Guild, the Hong Kong Performing Artists Guild, and the Hong Kong Professional Cinematographers Guild have been established one after another, but the Film Screenwriters Guild is missing.

The Screenwriters Guild has not been established, and the reason for this has a lot to do with the low status of screenwriters in the Hong Kong film industry. And the main reason for this situation is because the industry threshold for screenwriters is not high.

Under the film circle system with Hong Kong characteristics, it is very simple to be a screenwriter, that is, Zeng Zhiwei, who was born as a dragon and tiger martial artist, wrote several blockbuster scripts back then. It is precisely because the threshold is not high that screenwriters have not been valued in the Hong Kong film circle for a long time, but in the years when Hong Kong films were booming, kung fu films were all in vogue, no matter how powerful the screenwriter was, he could only work for those kung fu stars and martial arts directors, and the screenwriter was responsible for writing the script for "Du Qiao", and the most famous of them were Cheng Long's "queen screenwriter" Deng Jinsheng and Sammo Hung's "Bridge King Military Division" Huang Bingyao.

Hong Kong screenwriters are roughly divided into two types, the most is like the director's think tank, the director or producer comes up with an idea, and then finds a group of screenwriters to collectively write a story and write a script, and the other type is called the "drama master", which belongs to the top handful of screenwriters, they enjoy almost the same power as the director, can put forward a complete story idea, and have a "thought guidance" contribution to a film, such people also have a title called "gold medal screenwriter".

Most of the people who can become "gold medal screenwriters" should be directors, which also causes a lack of screenwriters in Hong Kong.

Lin Youlun can be regarded as a very special third type of screenwriter, and he is also the person who gives the screenwriter the most face, and the normal director and screenwriter have a complete relationship with him. Originally, the screenwriter was supposed to obey the director unconditionally, but in the hands of Lin Youlun, the director had to unconditionally shoot according to the script.

Of course, Lin Youlun's situation is very special, especially since the opening of Hong Kong, there has only been such a screenwriter, and he has been able to get to this point, not only because of the identity of the screenwriter, so although Lin Youlun has been having scripts published over the years, everyone is still used to seeing him as a film producer, and even his identity as the author of martial arts novels is louder than the screenwriter, which also shows that the status of the screenwriter in people's eyes is really low.

The status of screenwriters in the industry and their influence in people's minds cannot be changed by the success of one or two people in a short period of time, but the preparation for the establishment of the Screenwriters Association can be incorporated into the formalization from now on, especially the death and illness of "Erhuang" touched Lin Youlun a lot, and he decided to personally take the lead to promote this matter.

The establishment of the Screenwriters Association seems simple, Lin Youlun's reputation and ability are not lacking, it should have been a very simple thing, but when he actually wanted to do it, Lin Youlun found a big problem - the movies he invested in and made were always written by himself, although he was a screenwriter himself, but there were few screenwriters he really knew.

Of course, this problem is not difficult for Lin Youlun, although he doesn't know much about screenwriters, but he knows a lot of people who have changed from screenwriters to directors.

There are about three or four hundred screenwriters in Hong Kong, and in terms of background, except for those who are halfway monks or self-taught, they can be roughly divided into two factions. The first is the TV school: TVB and ATV have their own screenwriting training classes, which can train a lot of screenwriters every year, and directors like Wang Jing and Mai Danxiong have also written dramas for TV stations - most film screenwriters have been trained or honed in TV stations for a period of time before entering the film industry.

New Arts City is the only film faction in Hong Kong's screenwriting faction, and during the "Group of Seven" period, many screenwriters were also trained under his hands, of course, the number of personnel cannot be compared with the TV faction.

Lin Youlun made a few phone calls, some to familiar directors and some to film companies, in short, in a long period of time, the idea of preparing for the establishment of a screenwriters association spread to the ears of all Hong Kong screenwriters.
