"Chen Qiming, what have you been doing lately? Why didn't you come to school? ”

Zeng Baoyi, who was opposite, asked after confirming that it was Chen Qiming.

"I signed a contract with an artist company, and I'm here in Taipei, let's talk! What the hell are you looking for me? Chen Qiming briefly talked about his situation and asked.

"Didn't I tell you before that I wanted to write the story you told into a script! You know what! This script was taken care of.

Do you know who fell in love with this script? It's sure to be a shock to say it. ”

Zeng Baoyi on the phone was very excited.

"Who?" Chen Qiming asked.

"It's Director He Ping, it's He Ping who directed "Thanksgiving Years", he fell in love with your story and wanted to buy it!"

"The Thanksgiving Years?"

Chen Qiming thought about it for a while and went through the information of this movie in his mind.

"Thanksgiving Years" is a book written by Chinese baseball star Wang Sadaji, who broke the world baseball home run record, and his Japanese mother, Wang Dengmei.

He Ping filmed this movie in 1990, starring Xiangjiang star Wu Ma.

Although the film did not win an award at the Golden Horse Awards, it also received unanimous praise from critics.

And the story "Eighteen" I told before seems to be a movie directed by He Ping.

Chen Qiming didn't expect fate to be so wonderful.

He copied the story from his dream, and it immediately attracted the attention of the original director.

"Yes, it's "Thanksgiving Years." Zeng Baoyi said on the phone: "Director He Ping came to me yesterday, I told him that the script was written by you, and he asked me to ask, when are you free, he wants to talk to you!" ”

"Thank you!" After a pause, Chen Qiming said.

When I told Zeng Baoyi the story of "Eighteen", it was completely because I was too bored, so I told her this story.

He Chen Qiming didn't expect that this unintentional move could actually bring benefits to himself.

In addition, the reason why he thanked Zeng Baoyi was entirely because he actually only told the story, and the completion of the script was actually completed by Zeng Baoyi.

But she didn't take the credit alone.

From here, it can also be seen that this girl is indeed worthy of deep friendship.

"Why are you so polite, this story was originally yours!"

Hearing Chen Qiming's thanks, Zeng Baoyi on the phone seemed very happy.

Then, she asked, "When are you free here?" I'll get in touch with Director He Ping, and you can make an appointment to talk! ”

Chen Qiming pondered for a moment and said, "I have time today, is he in Taipei?" It's inconvenient for you to ask him, and if it's convenient, I'll go to him later. ”

"Good ......"

……

Zhongshan District, a Chinese restaurant, Chen Qiming began to look for He Ping after entering.

Finally, he set his eyes on a middle-aged man sitting by the window, staring at the passers-by outside, lost in thought.

"Hello, I'm Chen Qiming, is it Director He Ping?"

He walked over and asked.

Hearing the voice, the middle-aged man turned his head and looked Chen Qiming up and down.

"I'm He Ping!" The middle-aged man nodded, motioned for Chen Qiming to sit down, and then asked directly: "You wrote the script of "Eighteen"? ”

Chen Qiming nodded, and shook his head again, "The plot of the story is what I thought, but the specific script was written by Zeng Baoyi." ”

"I'll just say it! How can a script written by a boy of yours be so detailed, and the tone is like a little girl. ”

He Ping said with a smile.

"Something to eat?" He looked at Chen Qiming.

Chen Qiming looked through the menu, "Just have a bowl of braised pork rice!" ”

It's not that Chen Qiming doesn't want to order a good one, it's that he doesn't have much time.

This place is more than 20 kilometers away from the company, and if he doesn't talk about it quickly, he may have to go back in the dark.

Therefore, he wants to negotiate the script as soon as possible.

asked the waiter to serve a braised pork rice, Chen Qiming didn't care about He Ping, and ate it directly.

While eating, he asked, "Director He, how much money do you plan to pay for this script?" ”

When he came, Chen Qiming didn't think about taking this opportunity to let He Ping give himself a role and let himself participate in this movie.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to forget it.

In addition to the fact that he felt that He Ping would not be willing, there was another reason that this play was not suitable for his role.

The story of the play "Eighteen" tells the story of a middle-aged man who went out on a trip with his wife and children, passed by a small mountain village, and was attracted by the people who gambled together in front of the ancient temple in the village.

During this period, the seemingly calm small fishing village was surging, with smugglers from the mainland, the boss who ran the casino, the authoritative and superstitious village chief, the director of the police station who didn't care about right and wrong, the hostel girl who stole people all day long, and the old taro boy who hid his insecurity .......

It was as if the filth of the whole world had descended on this small village in an instant.

During this time, the protagonist is beaten, imprisoned, slandered, and framed, but it still does not discourage his determination to take root here.

In the end, he was banished to the sea by a ten-year-old child who had always regarded him as an idol.

This is a very depressing story, and it clearly describes the normal life of the lower class people on the treasure island during this period.

The protagonist is not a fool, nor is he addicted to gambling, in fact, he is a person who can't stand the pressure of life and chases the so-called pure land in his heart.

This is a down-and-out literary drama, and according to the fragments that Chen Qiming saw in his dreams, this drama can even be called a forbidden play.

Although it is easy to win awards, Chen Qiming doesn't want to get involved.

Liu Ciwei once told him that he has a great future and must cherish his feathers.

Especially now that he is not accepted by everyone.

If his image is not recognized, he goes to shoot this kind of obviously depressing, pornographic, and violent scene, he is easily positioned in this position.

Therefore, he gave up the idea of proposing to He Ping to join the crew, and only regarded it as a pure script buying and selling transaction.

"You are a newcomer, I can't give too much, 100,000 Taiwan dollars, this is my bottom line, if you want to add, I won't be willing!"

He Ping drank wine and spoke.

Although he liked the script very much, to be honest, if the price was too expensive, he would still abandon it.

"One hundred thousand!" Chen Qiming nodded, without hesitation, "Yes!" It's only 100,000, but I hope Director He can add my and Zeng Baoyi's names in the screenwriting column of the movie. ”

Directors like He Ping, they are very fond of changing scripts.

Chen Qiming concluded that when the script came to him, he would definitely change it.

But after the change, I am afraid it will be difficult to have the names of Chen Qiming and Zeng Baoyi in the screenwriter column.

Therefore, he specifically mentioned this condition.

"Don't worry, even if it's for Zeng Baoyi's sake, I won't move your name!"

He Ping smiled, and then he directly took out a bag and handed it to Chen Qiming, "This is 100,000 yuan, you can order it." ”

Chen Qiming took the bag, looked at it roughly, and nodded, "It's 100,000!" ”

In fact, he didn't know if it was 100,000 or not, but he felt that the other party should not be fake.

“OK！ In this case, we will settle both the people and the money, and I still have something to do, so I will leave first! ”

Giving the money to Chen Qiming, He Ping took out a contract prepared in advance, and after the two sides signed it, He Ping stood up directly and said.

Seeing He Ping leave, Chen Qiming glanced at the current money again, and always felt that it was a little unreal.

It's so simple.

It was as if he had come directly to get the money, and the other party hadn't even discussed the idea of the plot with him.

"For Zeng Baoyi's sake!" Chen Qiming remembered He Ping's words just now, and he already had a guess in his heart.

This Zeng Baoyi's family background is probably not simple.
