Chapter 1: The Misguided Script
Blue Star.
Eastern Continent.
Xia Guo, Yanjing.
Shengtian Entertainment Headquarters, screenwriter group six.
Qin Yan leaned back comfortably in his chair with a faint smile on his face.
It has been more than a year since he traveled to this world, and the unforgettable memories of his past life have gradually been ruthlessly smoothed out by time, and now he has gradually integrated into his new identity.
It is a world that is eight points similar to the Earth in the previous life, and the two have too many similarities, but in some ways they are very different.
His current name is still Qin Yan, and he is a talented screenwriter who graduated from Yenching Film Academy.
As soon as he graduated, he was admitted to Shengtian Entertainment, one of the four major entertainment companies in China, and he became a regular directly before the internship period expired, and he had his own independent office, which can be described as a spring breeze in the workplace.
In addition, the original owner was still a big dog who was demolished, and he compensated for the whole unit building, so Qin Yan felt that he could basically "lie flat" in his life.
Wandering on the edge of the conventional life trajectory, beyond the mainstream pressure of working overtime, getting promoted, earning money, and buying a house, and using your own way to dissolve the discipline of the external environment on the individual, this is undoubtedly a life that many people look forward to.
In this current job, Qin Yan is also more of a pastime.
After all, in this world, the screenwriter's positioning is still a typical behind-the-scenes worker, and his status is far less high than that of the earth in his previous life, so this profession is also suitable for his low-key style.
Knock knock.
When Qin Yan was in a daze, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." Qin Yan said.
The door was pushed open, and a slender figure rushed in.
The girl is 1.65 meters tall, with a white shirt, jeans, small white shoes, and a light makeup on her innocent face like first love.
"Hey, didn't you go to shoot an advertisement, Xiaomuyu, why did you go back to the company so soon?" Qin Yan asked with a smile.
Xiao Muyu, graduated from the Acting Department of Yenching Film Academy, Qin Yan's junior and senior high school classmates and college alumnus, the relationship between the two has always been good, and the nickname "Little Muyu" was also given by Qin Yan.
According to the memory of the original owner, the two have been in a state of unfulfilled lovers since high school, but I don't know what's going on, and the middle layer of window paper has not been pierced.
Later, Xiao Muyu signed a contract with Shengtian Entertainment in his sophomore year, and the two had a lot fewer opportunities to meet, coupled with the gap in each other's status, that trace of affection was quite cool.
Now that Qin Yan has become "Qin Yan", he who inherited the memory of the original owner naturally has a good impression of Xiao Muyu, and he doesn't mind developing into a lover with him.
In this era, it is a lucky thing to be able to find a girl who knows her roots, not to mention that Xiao Muyu is still so beautiful.
"Don't call me a nickname, my fans know that you are good-looking."
Xiao Muyu gave Qin Yan a big roll of his eyes, and then walked to the chair in front of Qin Yan and sat down.
Qin Yan smiled and asked, "Say, what is the matter with me?" ”
With Xiao Muyu's character, he must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he usually sends a message to Qin Yan when he has something to do.
Xiao Muyu's face was a little embarrassed, but after hesitating, he said directly: "The company plans to let me go to the film industry to test the waters, and let me shoot the script of "Parrot Tomb" written by you, but I am a little unconfident." ”
After listening to Xiao Muyu's words, Qin Yan was stunned, with a surprised face.
"What? Didn't the script of "Parrot Tomb" let Yu Fei shoot it? Why did it give it to you again? ”
Xiao Muyu looked depressed and said: "Yu Fei, she got better resources, a big production of the second female lead, so she ......."
Well, Qin Yan understands now.
To put it bluntly, Yu Fei couldn't like his script, so she climbed another high branch.
Yu Fei is also from Yenching Film Academy, one year later than Xiao Muyu.
In terms of appearance alone, Yu Fei is even higher than Xiao Muyu, belonging to the level that has a tenth-level beauty and brings disaster to the country and the people.
Yu Fei's resources are also much better than Xiao Muyu's, and she has been filming endless scenes since her freshman year, and she ascended to the throne of second-tier stars early the year before last, and Xiao Muyu is only half a foot into the ranks of second-tier stars now.
However, Yu Fei's reputation in the entertainment industry is not very good, with a stand-in for filming, 123 lines, and news such as the crew playing big names has appeared more than once or twice.
In addition, Qin Yan had a little conflict with Yu Fei when he first came to Shengtian Entertainment, so his sense of Yu Fei was even worse.
Recently, Yu Fei planned to test the film industry, and the company arranged for Qin Yan to tailor a script for Yu Fei, and he couldn't refuse, so the script of "Parrot Tomb" came out.
Qin Yan was reluctant, so it was definitely not as good as taking out those famous film and television scripts in his previous life.
This "Parrot Tomb" was written by him himself, and it can't be said to be perfunctory, but he definitely didn't work hard, and the level is naturally average.
It's just that I didn't expect Yu Fei to refuse the company's arrangement, which was a bit unexpected.
When did the work arrangement of a giant company like Shengtian Entertainment be able to refuse as a second-tier star?
Is it really as rumored that Yu Fei has a "godfather" behind her?
"Hey, what do you think, hurry up and tell me how this script is, this is a resource that I really managed to get."
Seeing Qin Yan in a daze, Xiao Muyu stretched out his hand and shook it a few times in front of him.
Qin Yan came back to his senses, with an expression on his face that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
I knew that it was a script for Xiao Muyu, and he wouldn't be so perfunctory when he was killed.
The script of "Parrot Tomb" is actually very bloody, derived from an ancient legend in China in the previous life.
The general story is that there is a talented girl who is engaged to a Xiucai, and the two are childhood sweethearts and have a sweet relationship, but then the Xiucai family fell into the middle of the road, and the talented girl's family planned to regret the marriage, but the talented girl was forced to die, in exchange for the bargaining chips that allowed Xiucai to gain fame and re-marry.
Then, Xiucai went to Beijing to take the exam, but died of illness on the road, and the talented girl was grief-stricken after learning the news and died of hunger strike. Eventually, the two were buried together, and only the parrot in front of the tombstone was the parrot that the two of them fed together was shouting their names every day......
Frankly speaking, the quality of this script is average, but the requirements for acting skills are extremely high, Qin Yan originally wanted to make a stumbling block for Yu Fei, who has no acting skills, and make her movie debut a big heel, but who knows......
Glancing at Xiao Muyu with a wry smile, Qin Yan asked, "Is it too late to change the script now?" ”
"It's late. The company has already set up the project, and now I am afraid that the propaganda department has released the news. Is this script really not good? Xiao Muyu said worriedly.
Qin Yan is the company's upstart screenwriter, and as soon as he joined the company last year, he wrote the scripts of two popular TV series, and then the first movie "Hypnosis Master" leveraged a box office of 130 million at a cost of 8 million, which completely created Qin Yan's prominent position in Shengtian Entertainment's screenwriting script.
Because of this, the company asked Qin Yan to write a script for Yu Fei.
There are only two ways for an actor to test the waters of the film industry, one is to play a supporting role in someone else's movie, and the other is to star in a small-budget movie, and there are no requirements at the box office, it is basically the nature of qualifications.
And Qin Yan's small-budget movie script has become a hit, and his script has naturally become one of the best choices for newcomers to test the film industry.
Seeing Xiao Muyu's nervous appearance, Qin Yan confessed: "No." The story of "Parrot Grave" takes the tragic route, although the story can move people very much, but the audience is too narrow, to put it bluntly, there is nothing that can attract people. Moreover, this script is a typical big heroine movie, and the acting skills of the heroine are too demanding, and you are acting in a movie for the first time, so ....... ”
Although Qin Yan didn't finish his words, Xiao Muyu already understood what he meant, and his face turned pale for a while.
I thought that Qin Yan's script was not bad, but who would have thought that it would be such a result.
Once she hits the street this time, the company will definitely not let her set foot in the film industry again in a short time, which will have a very negative impact on her career.
In Xia Guo, it is in the entire Blue Star, the gap between TV drama actors and movie actors is not ordinarily large.
Thinking like this, Xiao Muyu's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and tears quickly condensed in his eyes.
And at this moment, Qin Yan on the side laughed.
"Hehe, don't worry. Although the quality of the script of "Parrot Grave" is average, it is not without a way to bring the dead back to life! ”
