Chapter 1 Only in the circle do you have a chance!
Nanluoguxiang, Ju'er's family.
It's a bistro that does a student business...
Chinese opera is nearby!
"The Condor Heroes" says, "There must be antidote herbs within a hundred steps of poisonous snakes!" ’
In fact, the school is the same, a city, cheap and delicious restaurants, must be next to the school.
Xudong and their four years of college often have dinner at Ju'er's house, the most important thing is that it is cheap.
After taking graduation photos today, several dormitories are about to go their separate ways...
The boss suggested forming a bureau...
There is no need.
I didn't ask for a private room, I found an empty table directly at the stall at the door, and asked for a few home-cooked dishes and two cases of beer...
After graduation, the most worrying thing is work!
The boss spoke first: "I signed with my brother's company, I will help with odd jobs first, and I will take this opportunity to get to know more insiders, and I may be taken aback..."
The second said: "... I signed up for the platform..."
"Which platform?"
"Vine Video..."
The third: "That's not bad... Mix well, remember to pull the brothers, Gou is rich, don't forget! ”
"Gotta got!"
Picking up the wine glass, the four of them touched it: "Dadong, what about you?" ”
Xu Dong didn't raise his head, and said casually: "I'll continue to write novels!" ”
"What kind of novel to write, aren't you going to write a script for Director Zhang..."
Shen Xudong raised his head and shook his head: "... You can have dreams, but it's not good to be delusional! ”
……
Writing a script for Director Zhang, Xu Dong just entered the Department of Literature, and he introduced himself...
"My name is Shen Xudong, I came to learn screenwriting, I just want to write scripts for Zhang and Chen, I think they are just a good screenwriter!"
Well, young and ignorant!
I thought that if I entered the drama literature department of Chinese opera, I could write scripts for big directors such as Ah Mou and Yinshi Daren...
If it really doesn't work, then change the structure of the film industry - let the screenwriter be the producer, you watch those dramas that are broadcast, the movies that are released, all bad movies!
How lofty the ideal is, how skinny the reality is...
When I first entered the school, the industry was thriving, and I booked a place in the screenwriting studio of a large company in my freshman year...
In the sophomore year, the situation changed abruptly, and Xiaopang said 'May is very happy', and more than 4,000 companies directly went bankrupt, including Xudong's contracted company!
Junior and senior years, the environment continues to be affected, and there is no work to do...
Many awesome screenwriters have been idle for more than a year, who is willing to deal with them who have not made a reputation?
The boss Li Xiuxian has a good brother who can take him - his brother is Li Xiuwen, the screenwriter of "Ten Sending the Red Army", and the screenwriter of "Nengwen Nengwu Li Yannian"!
Signed in Bad Monkey...
Of the remaining three, the third child doesn't care the most, his family belongs to an acting family, and it's no problem to eat with the group!
The second child has the best luck, last year's hit drama "The Rumored Chen Qianqian", he is one of the screenwriters...
The screenwriter's line has become famous, and countless projects will come to the door next.
Xu Dong is the fourth, belongs to a relatively pure outsider, his family is in the building materials business, he can enter the Department of Chinese Opera Literature, mainly because of good luck - every year in Chinese opera, Nortel, including the opera, will recruit a few blank papers, in order to show fairness!
Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable to recruit the second generation of stars and guide the second generation...
It just so happens that he is a blank slate!
But after four years, even the white paper should be blackened!
Therefore, he said: "Brothers, let me ask you a realistic question, how does a screenwriter have the right to speak? ”
“… There is no one in the industry for the time being..."
"Teacher Reed can't control it all..."
"No, Teacher Wang Juan's several dramas are in control of the filming rights throughout the process!"
"Mr. Wang Juan has been mixed for almost ten years, and after having a bunch of masterpieces, he established a company..."
"And he's still a producer, so he has the right to speak!"
Several people discussed it for a while, and then shook their heads together: "It's basically unlikely!" ”
Xudong smiled bitterly: "Yes, and I'm different from you... I'm not an insider at all, my dad, my grandfather, even my grandfather has nothing to do with film and television... So, if I want to have a work before I turn 30, I can't think of any other way than to become famous by writing! ”
“… Come on! ”
The boss sighed: "Times are different, there may have been investors who were willing to take risks before, but now, everyone knows what the first level of our film and television drama is, and then others... Where are the investors who are willing to invest in a new person? ”
"I took a look at the project for the record two days ago, and it was all positive energy..."
"Ahem, let's say a few words..."
"Alas!" Xudong suddenly sighed: "I thought that I would study the literature department anyway, and I would be able to write an online novel..."
"And then?"
Xudong: "Crime themes are not allowed to be written, and they are not allowed to be described below the neck... Even a few more female characters have been reported..."
“… It's not easy for you either! ”
"It's so hard to write an online article... But when it comes to traditional literature, I'm not in their circle, and it's even harder to get ahead! ”
“… Haha, you understand now! It's all circles, unless it's a genius! The boss smiled, and then his expression became serious: "I tell you that you must not go back to your hometown, and don't give up, even if you are a gunman, you must stay, and you will stay with a dead face, only by staying in this circle, you will have a chance!" ”
The second child suddenly said: "It's okay, anyway, one day you will come out..."
Xudong was a little surprised, he didn't expect the second brother to be so optimistic about him, and before he could speak, the second brother continued: "Our supervisor asked you that day... I feel like she's interesting to you! ”
"Director?"
"The 38-year-old who divorced her husband? A mature woman with a lot of charm? ”
"Have you taken a fancy to our fourth?"
“… Don't be in such a hurry, come one by one... Fourth, have you continued to contact her? ”
Shen Xudong's expression remained unchanged: "I know what she means, and I also know what you mean?" But I'll tell you, how can I, Shen Xudong, a good man, eat soft rice? I..."
As he was talking, the phone rang, he took it out, it was the latest Apple 14...
Then the three brothers heard what he said: "Well, well, isn't this a dinner party after taking graduation photos..."
"You're waiting for me to be full..."
"Well, it's going to be soon..."
Well?
It doesn't feel right!
……
Shen Xudong still didn't hide a few dormitories in the end, he did eat soft rice...
The other party is not an aunt, but a 32-year-old sister!
Here's the thing, three months ago, he took a job, and in the last three episodes he was stuck - not that he was stuck, nor that the chief screenwriter disagreed, but that the management stuck.
said that the ending was not well written, and the climax was not exciting and not catchy, so let him seize the time to revise it.
asked the chief screenwriter, no problem, everything is according to the established script outline, and the relationship between the characters is also in place.
But the management is a father, and he will change it if he wants to change it!
Racking my brains to change it, change it, and send it again, it still doesn't work, change it again, change it eight times...
I really couldn't change it, so I asked the chief screenwriter what he meant, and he told the truth, 'The management wants to put up a name, so delete your name!' ’
Well, the script director of the investor is a young girl, and I don't know how to get into this position, I have been in this industry for several years, I don't have a single work under my name, and I am embarrassed to speak when I go out to a meeting...
"What's the matter, you let her say it directly, why do you want to jam my text..."
The chief screenwriter settled the final payment...
The more Shen Xudong thought about it, the more angry he became, you can say it directly, why do you stuck Lao Tzu's text?
Staying up late every day to change the text, it's too frustrating!
So, I was ruthless and got her...
I wanted to dump her directly, but... She gave the opportunity to let Shen Xudong be in charge of the script compilation of a crime film, the kind that can write a name!
Shen Xudong realized it when he got up.
In fact, talent, skills, face, and body are all their own things, and there is no need to distinguish between high and low...
After listening to Xudong's narration, the boss was speechless at first: "Then you told us that you want to write a novel?" What else to say... For a person like me, what other way out is there than to write a novel? ”
Xudong scratched his head: "... Isn't that embarrassing? ”
“… What's so embarrassing, our Dadong is handsome and temperamental, what's wrong with a woman falling in love with you? What's the matter, if you want to prove yourself, you have to pour sulfuric acid on your face? ”
"That is, why do those female stars have financiers and no one says anything, and we have to rely on ourselves as screenwriters? I've got you covered! ”
"Thank you..."
Xudong felt a lot better...
And then he paid for the meal.
