How much potential does a person have? Zhou Cheng didn't think about it.

He only knew that after his own hard work overnight, the "creation" of the script for the sixth film had been completed.

Compared with the process described by the teacher that the screenwriters in China often take months or even years to create a script, the number of six movies a week will definitely make them jaw-dropping and vomit blood to death.

Zhou Cheng "created" these scripts successively according to the clarity of his memory, and those films that were forgotten after too much time were "created" first. The film will be released a few years later or even more than ten years later, because the memory is still clear, Zhou Cheng chose to "create" it one after another after a while.

"The Piano of Steel", "Fireworks in the Day", and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" are his favorite three literary films, many scenes in these literary films have different metaphors, and Zhou Cheng "created" them first while he could still remember them; "People in Embarrassment" and "Detective Chinatown" are both series, which have a strong commitment and a high market value, so they must be used to register the copyright for the record. In another world, he watched the movie ""Big" Man starring Wang Qianyuan, and was shocked by Bao Beier's wonderful performance in it, and later went to see the original Korean version of "Veteran", although I don't know if this play has been produced now, Zhou Cheng still "created" the script of "Veteran" first.

Of course, Zhou Cheng is not "created" in any popular script.

For example, "Let the Bullets Fly", although Zhou Cheng knew that it had not started filming yet and was destined to catch fire, Zhou Cheng did not dare to touch it. Because Jiang Wen's royal screenwriter Shu Ping has already revealed this story outline on a small scale, if Zhou Cheng takes out the script at this time, he will definitely not be able to tell the reason for it, and he will even be rejected by this circle. Of course, if Jiang Wen invited him to join the creative team, Zhou Cheng would still be quite happy.

Secondly, like some film and television dramas adapted from novels, Zhou Cheng has no desire to create. Such as "The Wandering Earth", "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "Celebrating More Than Years" and so on. These novels have been published or are not yet being written, and it is impossible for Zhou Cheng to "create" them together with the novels.

In addition, there is also a film and television drama based on real events, such as "Operation Red Sea", "Operation Mekong", "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "Hug You Through the Cold Winter" and a series of films. These events have not yet happened, and if Zhou Cheng "creates" it in advance, I am afraid that he will be invited to tea by the relevant departments.

"Zhou Cheng, do you have time in the afternoon? Can you come to our troupe? ”

Zhou Cheng had just typed the name of the seventh work on the computer when his train of thought was interrupted by a phone call from Chen Li.

"It looks like you've cast an eyebrow." Although Chen Li did not explain the reason for inviting him, Zhou Cheng could guess about the same.

When Zhou Cheng took the script of "Donkey Gets Water" to Chen Li, he was waiting for his phone call. If Chen Li didn't find the excellence of this script, then Zhou Cheng would have no desire to continue to cooperate with him in the future.

In another world, although the play was known to a wide audience in the form of a film, it was originally a stage play. And it is a stage drama that has been performed countless times in China and has been widely acclaimed.

Zhou Cheng also hopes that this drama will be made into a drama by human art first, and with the influence of human art, it will be disseminated in China for a period of time, and then made into a movie. When the time comes, these word-of-mouth advantages will be converted into box office revenue through the means of publicity.

This is Zhou Cheng's first battle in the true sense, and it is also the battle he laid the foundation for his future career, so he cannot afford to fail. Zhou Cheng even put down his original idea of "creating" the script, thinking about the various situations he would face in the afternoon, and what kind of benefits he would gain from this contact in the afternoon.

At noon, Zhou Cheng was fortunate to have the last Kang Xiaohong in his cabinet and ate instant noodles for several days in a row, which made his burps taste like a bag. Zhou Cheng decided to wait for himself to be a little more comfortable in the future, and resolutely not to eat instant noodles, definitely!!

"Xiaocheng, are you going to go out? Where are you going? What time will you be back? ”

When leaving the community, the greeting of Grandma Liu from the convenience store at the gate reminded Zhou Cheng that he had made an appointment to talk about things in the afternoon.

Zhou Cheng said embarrassedly: "Grandma Liu, I need to go out for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back at three o'clock." Let's see if you can talk to the person renting the house. ”

"I'll try." Grandma Liu picked up the public phone on the counter and dialed the other party, and it was a blind voice twice in a row: "Xiaocheng, look ......"

"This..."Zhou Cheng thought for a while and untied the key to his courtyard door: "Grandma Liu, otherwise, after this person comes in the afternoon, you can take him directly to my courtyard to take a look, the door of that bungalow is open." If the other party can take a fancy to it, then rent it to him for 1,000 yuan a month. ”

"A thousand?"

"Yes, it's a thousand, if it's too little, I might as well use it to put sundries."

Last year, Zhou Cheng rented a two-bedroom apartment for Lin Shan for a month of 1,008, according to Zhou Cheng's consideration, the rent of this one-room small bungalow of 1,000 yuan a month will definitely make the other party retreat. This will not make it difficult for Grandma Liu.

Throwing the key to Grandma Liu, Zhou Cheng hurried to the Renyi Theater located on the north side of Wangfujing Street.

Follow Chen Li into the Renyi Theater from the side door, and come to the office area on the third floor behind, in a conference room of about 40 square meters, Zhou Cheng saw the four leaders of Renyi, namely Zhang Heping, Feng Yuanzheng, Yang Lixin and the famous screenwriter He Jiping, except for Zhang Heping sitting in the chairman position of the conference table, the other three are sitting on the other side of the conference table, facing Zhou Cheng and Chen Li who entered the door.

"Hello teachers, this is Zhou Cheng, the screenwriter of the play "Donkey Gets Water". Zhou Cheng knew and had contact with all of these people in another world, but at this time, he needed Chen Li's help to introduce: "This is Dean Zhang of our theater, Vice President Feng, Director Yang of the office, and Director He of the creation department." ”

"Hello Mr. Zhang, Hello Mr. Feng, Hello Mr. Yang, Hello Mr. He, I am Zhou Cheng, a graduate of Nortel's 06 Literature Department." Zhou Cheng honestly followed Chen Li to say hello one by one, and then chose the other side of the conference table to sit down, Chen Li thought about it, pulled out a chair and sat next to Zhou Cheng, expressing his support for him.

"Faculty of Literature? Huang Dan's students? ”

Zhang Heping, Feng Yuanzheng, and Yang Lixin looked at Zhou Cheng and nodded without speaking, only He Jiping, the head of the creative department, frowned slightly when he saw such a young Zhou Cheng.

"Yes, Mr. Huang is our homeroom teacher." Zhou Cheng looked at He Jiping in the creation department and said, "Mr. Huang once invited you to give us a lesson: the difference between opera literature and film and television literature creation. ”

"Oh, class 06, Huang Dan's class..."He Jiping nodded, and said to Zhou Cheng: "There is a student named Chu Ran in your class who is doing well......

Zhou Cheng's relationship did not make He Jiping much closer, but instead stepped on Zhou Cheng through Chu Ran.

As a senior screenwriter, He Jiping clearly knows what kind of process a screenwriter needs to go through from youth to maturity, and he also knows how long an excellent script needs to go through.

She has also watched the script of "Donkey Gets Water" several times, and thinks that it takes at least more than ten years of life experience to write such an in-depth script. So she is skeptical of the author of this script, Zhou Cheng.

After all, Zhou Cheng and the others have only graduated for a year, and Chu Ran, the best student in this class, is still following other screenwriters to work as gunners. The script of "Butterflies Are Free", Chu Ran can only get a signature, and the final script still needs to be reviewed by He Jiping.

"Chu Ran is good, the two of us know each other very well. He created the script for director Chen Li's last award-winning short film. Zhou Cheng followed He Jiping's words and said: "If it weren't for his slightly weaker reputation, he would have been able to take charge on his own." ”

Zhou Cheng understood He Jiping's intentions, and used her words to fight back, it was not that the level of young people was not good, but that this entertainment industry did not give us a chance to perform.
