Chapter 003: Movie Script
Xiao Ming is a new editor of Xianque Chinese Network.
She didn't have any platinum authors in her hands when she just started in the industry, and she could only look for potential new authors in the pile of new book seedlings.
After all, there are only a few people in the online literature industry who become gods in a book, even if they are talented authors, their writing has to be accumulated over the years.
"Ugh."
Xiao Ming, who was still reviewing the manuscript when he returned home, sighed.
The manuscripts of these newcomers in the backstage library are more abstract than the other.
rubbed his temples, took a sip of coffee, and in the dim light, he clicked on a new book called "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", and the number of words was more than 10,000.
At the beginning of the novel, a dream of a fierce battle between Li Xiaoyao and the Rakshasa ghost woman in the air is depicted, and he is knocked off and falls back into bed and wakes up.
"Huh? The writing is good. ”
Xiao Ming's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested, and reviewed the draft while drinking coffee.
……
Li Xiaoyao grinned and smiled sheepishly.
Aunt Li crossed her waist, kept patting Li Xiaoyao's face with the fan in her hand, and scolded:
"Stinky boy, you're still lazy!"
"I'm telling you, when I get up tomorrow morning, I won't need this fan, I'm going to use boiling oil!"
"Crooked! You don't have to be so ruthless, right? ”
"How ruthless, how ruthless, hurry up and open a store!"
Li Xiaoyao secretly grimaced, turned around and opened the store.
Who knew that as soon as he opened the door, he saw three strangely dressed and grim-faced Lunatic worshippers standing in front of the door.
"Guest, guest officer, please come in, please come in."
……
"Why don't you marry me!"
"The fortune teller said that I am prosperous!"
More than 10,000 words is not long, but Xiao Ming is not fast.
Especially when the two cute girls selling vegetables on the street were intriguing and jealous for Li Xiaoyao, Xiao Ming even smiled even more.
After reading it, there was almost no hesitation, Xiao Ming immediately sent a contract application to the author's background, for fear of being preempted by other editors!
Li Xiaoyao, a lowly hooligan actor, is vividly portrayed in just over 10,000 words.
"This writing alone is sophisticated enough, and the shaping of the character image lines is even better."
"The story of Xianxia is never won or lost in the first few chapters, the writing ability is here, this book will not be bad."
"It turned out to be a rookie author......"
Xiao Ming suppressed the excitement in his heart and muttered.
The quality of the story can't be seen in just 10,000 words, but Xiao Ming knows that he is a newcomer in charge of editing, and how difficult it is to sign a new book with this kind of writing.
The old authors who have become famous are in the hands of other big editors.
"Hurry up and hurry up ......"
……
"Poof!!"
In the dormitory, Zhou Kai, who was originally drinking water, sprayed a mouthful of water on the ground, and confirmed to Lin Qiu in disbelief:
"You, you, you, are you really going to make a movie?!"
"Well, it's just in time for the winter holidays."
"What, don't believe buddy?"
Lin Qiu smiled and responded.
At the beginning, when Lin Qiu was writing, Zhou Kai thought he was writing "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Zhou Kai, who has become a fan of "Fairy Sword" in the past few days, wants to save the manuscript and read it.
Who knew that today, Lin Qiu, this kid, was actually writing a movie script!
"I can't believe it at all."
"Do you know how much it costs to make a movie? Do you have that money at home for you to waste? How can any investor invest in you? ”
"Actor, publicity, which one doesn't want money?"
Zhou Kai's cannons came one after another, and he knew the situation in Lin Qiu's house.
[Chang'an Film and Television Company] is a small film and television drama company in the industry, and almost all the actors in the company are middle-aged actors, and they have no ability to attract money.
Films need to be co-produced by investors to reduce risks, and bring in participants from all links of the film industry chain to cooperate with publicity and distribution.
Not all companies dare to invest their net worth in a movie.
Because once you fail, the consequences will be quite serious, and there are many lessons from the past.
They are all directors who studied directing and know the way of this industry.
Lin Qiu, a 20-year-old junior director, cannot have an investor willing to cooperate and invest.
There are only a few young directors who can make a name for themselves in Xiazhou.
If it is profitable, the capital will invest, it is such a simple truth.
"Don't worry, it's a low-budget pure love movie."
"If the quality is not up to par, my parents won't be able to pass the level, and they won't be able to convince them."
Zhou Kai nodded, "It's also ......"
"Your mom and dad know better than I do."
"Forget it, I'll read the script first."
"What's the story?"
"A story of pure love."
"Pure love?"
Zhou Kai and Lin Qiu's grades in the directing department were not bad, and after speaking, Zhou Kai sat down and began to study the new movie script written by Lin Qiu in detail.
【Love Letter】
Act I: Snow exterior
[1]: The whistling sound of heavy snow
[2]: Hiroko is lying in the snow on the third anniversary of her ex-fiancé Ah Shu, thinking about her deceased lover
[3]: Hiroko came to pat off the snow on her body, looked up at the sky, and left the snow.
……
Lin Qiu saw that Zhou Kai was focused, so he lay down on the bed and went to sign the novel contract for "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
The courses in the third year of the directing department themselves are small, and when Lin Qiu is idle, he is saving manuscripts, and now he has more than 200,000 words.
It's impossible to predict how high this book will be, but the quality of the novel is here, and the score will not be bad.
……
Long.
"Woo......"
Lin Qiu, who was lying on the bed, seemed to hear Zhou Kai's whimper, and chuckled.
Zhou Kai, who had read the entire script, leaned back in his chair, with tears in his eyes, carefully experiencing the emotions in this movie, and couldn't withdraw it for a while.
The movie "Love Letter", which was hailed as a classic love movie that "will shed tears whenever you watch it" in the previous life, has great lethality, telling a deep story of infatuated and poignant love.
In this world, the background culture and language habits of each state in Kyushu are different, but there is not so much emphasis on entertainment works, and they are familiar with the language between each other's states, and it is a compulsory course for junior high and high school.
Take movies as an example, there are many movies directed by directors in Xiazhou with Mizhou backgrounds and Hanzhou backgrounds.
Last year's Oscar Best Director, director Gale of Yingzhou, also made an inspirational film "Chasing the Sun" set in Xiazhou.
But Lin Qiu still made a certain localized adaptation of the movie "Love Letter", and placed it in the background of Xiazhou without affecting the plot setting.
The director's experience of emotion is generally more profound.
Just reading the script, Zhou Kai didn't stand it.
"What's going on?"
Zhou Kai took a deep breath, put away his emotions, and said to Lin Qiu:
"It's so beautiful, this story."
"If the movie is really made, remember to call me one."
"If you want me to help, just say it, and the little money buddy can come up with a way."
"It's that if you really become famous in the future, you will definitely have to thank your buddies for that."
After reading this movie script, Zhou Kai was not sure that Lin Qiu's parents would let Lin Qiu be the chief director to direct this movie.
But this movie will definitely appear on the big screen, and the worst result for Lin Qiu is also the assistant director.
"Thank you so much."
"No, they're all brothers, they should be."
