Zhang Lai looked at the two who were arguing, his eyes flashed with a trace of doubt, he valued Li Zhen very much, otherwise he would not have recommended Li Zhen to He Yun.

"What are you two arguing about? It's all off work, why are you standing here if you don't go back? ”

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhang, the two of us are leaving! Let's leave! As soon as Li Zhen heard Zhang Lai say this, he immediately said.

He was originally going to work overtime, but now that this situation is going to happen, it is clear that overtime is definitely impossible.

"Wei Ying! Let's go! After Li Zhen said something to the girl, he hurriedly took her hand and turned around and walked outside.

Looking at the back of Li Zhen and the others leaving, Zhang Lai was confused.

He knows the relationship between the two, girls like boys, and boys are also interesting to girls, but the blame is here, although this boy likes girls, he always maintains a certain distance, which is really incomprehensible.

If he hadn't gotten off work late, he wouldn't have seen this scene today.

"These young people, I really don't know what's going on in their heads?"

"Uh...... I guess I'm a young man! ”

Zhang Lai smiled, muttered to himself, and turned to leave the company.

........

More than ten days later.

Kyoto.

Before you know it, it's 1994.

Time flies so fast, He Yun feels that his mentality is much older.

On this day, he was just about to go out when he received a large letter.

He glanced at the envelope, seemed to think of something, and walked into the study with the letter.

Sure enough, when he opened the envelope, it contained a stack of manuscripts.

It looks like seventy or eighty pages.

After placing the envelope on his desk, he sat down in front of the computer, his eyes falling on the manuscript he was holding.

"The Ropeway of Hope? The name of the script seems to be ..... Interesting? He Yun glanced at the three big characters in the middle, but he smiled and continued to look down.

And time passed little by little, and the sound of ticking hands accompanied by He Yun's breathing came and went.

I don't know how long it has been, He Yun slowly raised his head, let out a long breath, he put the manuscript in his hand on the table, rubbed his dry eyeballs, and finally exclaimed: "What a "Cableway of Hope"! ”

For the script in front of him, He Yun can be described as hearty.

At the beginning, the script depicts a volunteer teacher who came to the southwest mountains from a big city in the 70s.

The teacher did not come voluntarily, but because his family needed to be "gilded", he was assigned to a primary school in the mountains.

Of course, it is said to be an elementary school, but in fact, it is just a few muddy houses, and even the roof is covered with thatch, and when it rains, the house is full of buzzing and ticking.

Such a poor environment naturally made him retreat, so he quietly followed the ox cart to the town thirty miles away and secretly left the village, preparing to return home.

However, what happened next forced him to stay.

It turned out that on the way of the ox cart, there was a major mudslide on the narrow mountain road, and the only road leading to the outside world in the mountain was cut off.

He had no choice but to return to this poor mountain village.

Gradually, he adapted to the environment here, and also let him see the simplicity of the mountain people, and see everything that can never be seen in the city.

Originally, he was going to stay for only one year, but for various reasons, he finally stayed in this poor mountain village and became the only teacher in this primary school.

In the second half of the script, it focuses on the description of this teacher from a big city, in order to help the village build a school, and repeatedly went to the county and the prefectural party committee, and in various names, got the funds to build the school and built a hope primary school.

Later, through his connections in the city, he found three more teachers one after another, making this hopeful primary school the only formal school in Shili and Eight Townships.

The general plot of the script is so simple, but many of the details in it almost made He Yun cry.

Just like the name of the script "Ropeway of Hope", this volunteer teacher is a ropeway of hope connecting the depths of the mountains with the outside world, and with his existence, the mountain village has undergone great changes.

The children had books to read, they were exposed to the vast world outside, and even little by little with their own efforts, they continued to walk out of the mountains, and after a few years, they returned to the village and contributed part of their strength to become the new generation of Hope Cableway.

The story is compact, the details are also exquisite, and more importantly, what is conveyed in it is full of "positive energy".

Not to mention how it will be made into a movie, but it is very possible to win at least one film and television award.

After all, a script like this is made into a movie, and it is a good film that represents the mainstream ideology.

In other words, this is a type of movie theme that the official is more optimistic about.

As for the reason for this, everyone knows that in the eighties and nineties, there were many awards for movies with this kind of theme.

He Yun believes that if this script is made into a movie and brought to foreign film festivals, it will definitely be successful.

It's just that, looking back, He Yun hesitated.

The script is indeed a very good script, and the basic skills are also very solid, and he, who is also a screenwriter, has not found out the slightest pickiness.

But the problem is that the box office of scripts with this kind of theme should not be too ideal.

After thinking about it, He Yun finally decided to shoot!

He is ready to put his short story "Four Seas for Home" and this script on the screen.

If nothing else, just two words.

That's "fame".

You must know that movies don't necessarily have to be box office hits, and winning film and television awards for movies with this theme is the direction that really needs to be worked on.

What's more, it's not appropriate to make that kind of commercial blockbuster now!

After all, in this domestic environment, there is no suitable soil for growing in the era of commercial blockbusters, and even if you are lucky enough to shoot it, it is impossible to get any economic benefits.

...........

In the afternoon of the same day, He Yun called Zhang Lai and told him what he thought.

After listening to He Yun's thoughts, Zhang Lai was stunned for a long time, and then said to He Yun on the phone: "Mr. He, what are you ...... I'm afraid the idea won't work! The company's current situation, you also know, does not support the economic conditions for the simultaneous production of three film and television works, so ......"

"I didn't let you start filming at the same time, hasn't "Qin Shi Mingyue: The Rise of Qin" already been filmed? We estimate that the profit we will make is about 300,000, right? ”

"Hmm..... Almost, about 270,000! Zhang Lai replied.

"Isn't that enough? Let's take out the more than 200,000 of them as start-up capital, make this movie first, and then shoot my "Four Seas for Home"

When He Yun said this, he paused, and said to Zhang Lai again: "Didn't you discuss too much with Yuexi Studio before? There should be results now, right? ”

"There are results, they agreed to most of our requests, and they will officially sign a contract in the near future, we invested 160,000, they took out 120,000, and they filmed it, and the profit was four or six points, four for them, six for us."

"That's okay!" He Yun nodded.

Four or six points, it's really fair.

Moreover, don't underestimate the 280,000 shooting funds.

In fact, it doesn't take much money to start filming a movie now, and "Home from All Seas" is still a movie with a relatively simple plot, which does not require a large number of group performances or computer special effects, and only needs to pay the basic salary of the crew, as well as props and venue fees for shooting.

On top of that, it's the cost of the film needed to shoot.

"But... Mr. He, don't you think about it anymore? ”

"No need! You call that ..... Li Zhen, send me here, I have to have a good chat with him! He Yun rejected Zhang Lai's proposal and said to him again.

"Send Li Zhen to you? Good.... Good! I'll arrange it right away. Zhang Lai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly responded.

Although he didn't know why He Yun asked Li Zhen to go to Kyoto, he felt that it should be a good thing.

So, after he hung up the phone, he immediately called Li Zhen to his office.

"Li Zhen, I just made a phone call with Mr. He, he said that you should go to Kyoto, meet with him, and say that there are some things to talk to you about, you are like this, you put aside the things at hand first, and after buying the train ticket, you will leave immediately, understand?"

"Good..... Good! Mr. Zhang, I'll go back and prepare. ”

Hearing Zhang Lai's words, Li Zhen was so happy that he almost screamed.

He never expected that the "writer" he admired would invite him to Kyoto to meet him, which made him a little flattered.

"Hmm...... The company will quote you the round-trip ticket money, so you can prepare it immediately! ”

After saying this, Zhang Lai waved his hand at him and signaled that he could leave.

Seeing this, Li Zhen nodded again and again, and after answering again, he immediately turned around and left the office.

After coming out of Zhang Lai's office, he really couldn't help the joy in his heart.

At this moment, he laughed out loud.

Back at his desk, he hurriedly cleaned up, and under the surprised gazes of other colleagues, he was ready to leave to buy tickets.

But at this moment, he was blocked by a girl.

"Li Zhen, do you have something to hide from me?"

"I'm not hiding anything from you, am I? Don't get in my way, I still have to go to the train station to buy a ticket, and I'll be on a business trip to Kyoto tomorrow. ”

"To Kyoto?"

Hearing Li Zhen's words, the girl was stunned and immediately asked, "What are you doing in Kyoto?" ”

"I'm on a business trip! Didn't I just say that? ”

After saying this, Li Zhen pushed the girl's shoulders away and left in a hurry.

When the girl heard this, she was a little confused at first, but then she thought of something and immediately left.

"Wei Ying, why are you going? I haven't gotten off work now! ”

"Xu Jie, you help me ask Mr. Xu for a leave, just say that I have something urgent to go out."

..........

A few days later.

The entrance of the quadrangle.

A boy walked over looking left and right, he looked at the house numbers of the surrounding houses from time to time, until he came to the door of the courtyard house that He Yun bought, and then stopped.

"This should be it?"

Looking at the courtyard in front of him and the number on the courtyard number, he immediately stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door.

Soon, the door was opened.

It was He Yun's mother Gong Yue who opened the door.

When she saw Li Zhen standing at the door, she looked puzzled.

However, at this time, Li Zhen opened his mouth and said, "May I ask if He Yunhe always lives here?" ”

Li Zhen uses Mandarin, so He Yun's mother, Gong Yue, can understand it.

"Looking for the fourth child! Come on in! ”

With that, He Yun's mother, Gong Yue, welcomed Li Zhen into the courtyard.

At this time, she shouted in the direction of the study: "Fourth, someone is looking for you!" ”

In the study, after hearing the shout, He Yun put down the manuscript in his hand, got up and walked out, he looked at Li Zhen, and seemed to think of something.

"You are Li Zhen in Zhang Lai's mouth, right? Come in with me! ”

After saying this, He Yun took Li Zhen and walked towards the study.

But the two of them didn't know that at this moment, at the gate of the courtyard, a girl stood there and watched the two walk into the study.

The girl glanced at the house number and walked back.

.......

Besides, at this moment, after He Yun led Li Zhen into the study, he glanced at him and immediately said, "Sit down!" I'll pour you water! ”

"No need! Congratulate..... Mr. He, I'm ..... Not thirsty. Li Zhen immediately waved his hand and said.

"Okay, let's sit down and talk!" He Yun smiled and sat down in front of the computer.

After watching Li Zhen sit down, he coughed lightly and said, "The reason why I called you over this time is mainly to communicate with you." ”

Mr. He..... You're laughing...... You're a great writer, I'm just ..... An unknown person, I should say, I asked you for advice. ”

At this time, Li Zhen was a little nervous, he admired He Yun, a "great writer", but he didn't know how to face it.

"That's it! Don't be nervous, I won't eat people, I brought you here this time, first, I want to meet you as a person, and secondly, I want to talk to you about the script. ”

"Your script, in general, has no major flaws, and the basic skills are very solid, right! What did you study before? ”

"Are you majoring in Chinese language?" Li Zhen replied.

"Chinese language? Then it's no wonder! He Yun nodded, and then said: "Your script, I told Zhang Lai, I am going to have our company produce and make a movie, regarding the script copyright fee, I will provide you with two options, one is the company to buy it at one time, the cost is 8,000 yuan, and the other is 13% of the company's profit earned through this movie, which plan do you choose?" ”

"I ......."

After listening to He Yun's words, Li Zhen obviously hesitated.

8,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for him, and his salary for a year is not so much, and 13% of the movie's profit may be more.

After thinking about it, he set his eyes on He Yun, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but say to He Yun: "Mr. He, can I choose neither?" ”

"Neither?"

He Yun suddenly smiled and immediately asked; "Tell me what you think!"

"I'd like to learn how to write a script from you, is that okay?"

"What? How do you want to learn from me how to write a screenplay? He Yun looked at Li Zhen with a strange expression, and said with a puzzled face.

But after a while, he seemed to understand something, looked at Li Zhen, and whispered, "What a smart person!" ”

Indeed, whether it is the former plan or the latter plan, there is actually no difference, it is a one-time payment.

But if you follow He Yun to learn how to create a script, it will be different, not to mention the identity of He Yun's "disciple", that is, what impression He Yun will have of him in the future, you can imagine.
