Chapter 15: The Beginning

There are no major surprises, Shen Mengxi's name is probably insulated from "Underground Transportation Station"...

was ignored by director Li Shaohong before, and then expelled from the crew by director Yingda...

Tsk, probably the worst reborn in the mix.

This is a wasted start!

It's not that it's not without gain, he stayed in Weifang for two months, and the production department gave him a salary of 20,000 yuan!

Teacher Wu Jian and Teacher Yan probably felt sorry for Shen Mengxi, so they gave an extra 5,000 yuan...

You see, in 06, a newcomer who just graduated, with a regular job, earned 20,000 yuan in two months.

No wonder so many young people are thinking about entering the entertainment industry!

That's a lot of money!

In addition, he also asked Yingzhu to write a preface to "Rose Red Lotus"...

It's very strange that Shen Mengxi has a good relationship with Yingzhuang, even if Shen Mengxi offends Yingda, Yingzhuang is still very happy to write a preface to Shen Mengxi.

......

On September 1st, the two novels "Rose Red Lotus" and "Exquisite Ancient City" were launched at the same time.

Some time ago, the report of "The Beijing News", Shen Mengxi and "Rose Red Lotus" are also a little famous.

Film Academy, the editorial department of "Shifang", but anyone who knows Shen Mengxi bought "Rose Red Lotus" as soon as possible, and bought "Exquisite Ancient City"...

As a friend of Shen Mengxi, Zhang Xiaobei of course also bought two books, first opened "Rose Red Lotus", the preface was written in English:

Common themes in supernatural and horror genre novels: human greed or beauty, revenge, the fall of the world, etc.

This is the case from the ghost stories of Liaozhai.

This kind of theme does not require constructive suggestions on social issues and human nature analysis like literary films, it sets the theme mostly to find an opportunity, and with the theme will the story continue!

"Rose Red Lotus" is exactly that.

The trigger for this story is the eternal contradiction of the family - the stepmother and the child.

The story takes place between a sister and her stepmother who return home from an insane asylum, which is a very traditional theme, and the stepmother, stepdaughter, and irresponsible father are enough to make the family never rest.

From the perspective of story logic, in addition to the content of ghosts and ghosts, the most exciting part of the novel is supported by the conflict between the stepmother and the two sisters, such as the stepmother locking her sister in the closet, breaking her body into a sack and putting it in a sack, etc., are all ways of acting in bloody ethics films...

Zhang Xiaobei didn't read this preface carefully at all...

In these years, a person who writes a book can bring a bunch of industry bigwigs to help stand on the platform...

Many authors in the same group are interdependent and coexist and prosper. Today I will write you a preface, and tomorrow it is possible that you will write me a preface.

Things in a circle, looking up and not looking down, and not letting outsiders intervene, boasting, inbreeding...

Some people even write a preface, and they may not even read the content of the book he wrote, but they are just entrusted by others, the beauty of adults, and the blind Ji Ba touted!

The novel "Rose Red Lotus" is very well written, writing the same story from the three perspectives of his father, Xiulian and the bystander's uncle and aunt...

The creepy feeling after reading it!

But it's beautifully written...

In the past two years, the best selling horror books have been Zhou Dedong's novels, "Three Forks" sold 380,000 copies, and it was also published by the Popular Literature and Art Publishing House.

Zhang Xiaobei suddenly envied Shen Mengxi, judging by his intuition, "Rose Red Lotus" can sell at least 100,000 copies...

What is the concept of 100,000 copies?

Shen Mengxi's royalty contract is 8-12%, and once it exceeds 150,000 copies, he can get 12% of the royalty.

You can earn at least six figures!

It's decided, when he comes to Beijing, he must be invited to dinner!

Taking off his glasses, taking out his glasses cloth and wiping the lenses, and putting them back on, Zhang Xiaobei opened "The Essence of the Ancient City of Ghost Blowing Lanterns", and the first sentence of the opening sentence 'Tomb robbery is not a dinner party, not a fuss, not a painting and embroidery; it cannot be so elegant, so calm, courteous, so gentle, and frugal; tomb robbery is a technology, a technology for destruction." ’

And then, he's out of control...

"Ghost Blows the Lamp" itself is a novel with quite good story, readability, and commerciality!

The twists and turns, the plot arrangement, the grand historical span of ancient, modern, modern and contemporary, the description of the sense of the times, the simple and bright character building, the combination of fiction and reality, and the introduction of folk customs, etc., are all outstanding places...

At least compared to "Rose Red Lotus", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is much more readable!

......

Shen Mengxi came to the capital.

After being expelled from the crew by "Underground Transportation Station", Mr. Yan had a project on his side, what was it called "Old Dream", Yan Yiyun wanted to invite Shen Mengxi to participate in the screenwriting work, which was considered to be a hand for him.

The main screenwriter of "Old Dream" is Mr. Lin Peifen, a historical novelist, whose representative works are "Nurhachi", "Tianwen"...

Shen Mengxi didn't agree directly, only said that there was something temporary...

It's not that Shen Mengxi doesn't give face, it's really that he hasn't heard of this drama...

The TV series he hadn't heard of either hit the street or never aired on the TV station...

Either way, it's not a good thing!

Shen Mengxi was able to agree to come to "Underground Transportation Station", except for Shen Sandong's request, mainly because he knew how powerful this drama was...

Divine drama!

This thing can add points to your resume...

Chen Liming came to pick him up, and instead of sending him to the hotel, he brought him back to his home...

Located in a very high-end community in Haidian, Shen Mengxi couldn't help but sigh: "You are really a local tyrant!"

Chen Liming was very aggrieved: "This is a 160-square-meter duplex house, and it is not a big villa..."

"But this is in the capital, 160 square meters, how much did it cost?"

"I don't know, my mom came here and bought it for me... Give, beer!"

Shen Mengxi took the beer, and then asked, "Where is your company?"

"It's over there in Shijingshan, isn't there a cultural industry park over there, my sister rented me two offices..."

"Your sister?"

"Yes, they heard that I wanted to stay in Beijing and develop, so they all came here..."

This is a problem that can be explained by the words 'come over for a trip', and it is to buy a house, and it is to help start a company...

Shen Mengxi suddenly felt that the beer in his hand was not fragrant at all...

The rich second generation and the reborn.

Given your chance, which one would you choose?

A bottle of beer entered his stomach, and Chen Liming looked at the time: "Let's go, I'll give you a wind!"

“... Where to go?"

"Of course, it's the water clouds!"

“... Okay, I'll change my clothes!"

Between the water and clouds, it is a very ambiguous place when you hear it...

Shen Mengxi likes it very much!

White prostitution, who doesn't like it, even if the yearning for the cute path, every morning and night will be dyed with white dew...

When I got into the car, my phone rang, it was Zhang Xiaobei.

"Brother Xiaobei..."

"I... In classmates this... Tomorrow, tomorrow we will definitely invite our choreographer to have a meal together!"

Look, our popularity!
