Chapter 3 Teachers
What's in Xi'an?
Of course, it's the Western Film Studio!
Shen Mengxi's father used to be the literary planner of the West Film Studio, but later the West Film Studio was reorganized, and he was assigned to the TV station - Western Film Channel.
Therefore, in his previous life, Shen Mengxi was able to squander his life so wantonly, no matter how bad it was, he could go to work on the Western Movie Channel...
Relying on his father's connections, he had already followed the group "The Great Sage of Love" when he was still studying in his previous life, and he was regarded as studying under Teacher Yan Yiyun.
The latter is the producer of "The Great Sage of Love"...
There are famous teachers, connections, and the conditions of the back wave are met, and the waves can naturally fly...
In this time and space, when I was a sophomore, I was busy discussing with my sisters from the dance school next door how to go deep into the forest path, and I didn't have time to follow the group, which was a lost opportunity.
Life is about gains and losses.
......
The teachers in the Department of Literature are still very proud.
During class, he would say that he studied under Lao She, and the students were also Lao She's disciples, so they should write proud words.
The most classic sentence 'The book you wrote is not for the Chaoyang Nine Theater, you have to rush to the National Center for the Performing Arts!'
Later, when I really entered the industry, I realized how difficult it is to make bragging inspirational!
Many times, the heart is slowly worn away...
You wrote a great story, but the producer found it obscure, and you had to change it to the producer's satisfaction...
I have to fight with the wise director...
Basically, after a circle, the script has long been unrecognizable!
Staying in the screenwriting industry, making money is not a thing, what I am afraid of is the feeling of the fire being extinguished.
Shen Mengxi has a good mentality - why isn't it eating, there is a high top when the sky falls!
The heart has long since worn out...
As I grew older, the enthusiasm and passion for doing good things gradually faded and turned into a pent-up anger and indifference, either mixed or angry!
With an unscrupulous spit and catharsis in public, he became popular all of a sudden!
This attitude just caters to the dissatisfaction of a large number of netizens with the entertainment industry...
The original time and space, developed later, he is no longer a pure screenwriter, and later worked as a film critic, planner, and also invested in some movies, quite a status in the rivers and lakes, to put it simply, a public knowledge in the film and television industry.
It's also good, there will be a new way to live after the year of confusion...
So, he always thought he was lucky, and he didn't know why, so he was reborn...
......
"Your "Simplified Analysis of Wuji", I gave you..."
"Thank you, teacher!"
In the office, Shen Mengxi bowed to Teacher Hong Fan...
Mr. Hong didn't say to him that several of Shen Mengxi's manuscripts, "The Rise and Fall of Gangster Movies" and "After Infernal Affairs, Where Do Hong Kong Movies Go", were all revised by him, and then published in "Contemporary Film"...
"Sit down first. ”
Shen Mengxi sat down, and Teacher Hong poured him a cup of tea, and then asked, "How did I hear Xiao Chen say, you are going back to your hometown?"
"Let's go home and have a look. ”
Hong Fan nodded and said, "Is Teacher Jiang looking for you?"
“... No, I've been busy writing papers these days, and my phone is turned off!"
"I said!" Hong Fan continued: "You should also know the relationship between Mr. Jiang and Qingyu Media, he told me that Qingyu is going to recruit a few literary planners, you can try it!"
"Literary planning?"
"What? Think this position is too small?"
"No, no..."
Qingyu Media, the company that produced "Don't Talk to Strangers" and the first generation of Chinese captain Yan Shuangying.
It has a close relationship with Beijing Satellite TV and Tianjin Satellite TV, and it is also powerful in the industry.
The so-called literary planning,The work is carried out around the script every day.,Need to give hundreds of episodes of other people's books a year to optimize opinions or something...
This kind of work can be regarded as a professional counterpart for Shen Mengxi.
Literary planning goes one step further and then project planning, and then producers.
The starting point is low, but the ceiling is high...
If you are not careful, you can become a big player in the circle.
However, Shen Mengxi is not much interested in this kind of office work...
So, shaking his head, he refused.
prevaricated: "I'd better go home first, my dad and they helped me arrange a job..."
"What job?"
"TV station..."
"If you want to enter the TV station, you might as well stay in school, first work as a teaching assistant for me for two years, and then take the graduate school exam..."
By the way, bring out a Dr. Zhai?
"Teacher, I appreciate your kindness, but I still have to go back to my hometown first..."
"Okay, then you can go back first. ”
"Well, thank you, teacher, for teaching for four years!"
Shen Mengxi bowed again, and then walked out of the office.
In the original plane, he was not so popular...
The reborn has his own aura, even if Shen Mengxi rarely deliberately pretends to be forced, and consciously does not show his talents, but his conversation, including what he writes, still makes people feel talented.
What to say about this thing, the vision that has been leading for nearly 20 years is really a plug-in!
Therefore, several teachers are very important to him.
After Mr. Hong, Mr. Jiang Wei also called and asked him to meet...
......
"I read your graduation thesis, do you really think "Wuji" is a pity?"
Jiang Wei asked.
"Well, Director Chen has mobilized all resources and connections, and the whole picture, music, characters, and world view of "Wu Ji" can be called a new look..."
“... So you say it was predictable that it was a box office fiasco?"
“... With a total investment of nearly 35 million US dollars, it will cost at least 90 million US dollars to recover the cost, which is converted to nearly 700 million yuan, and the total box office last year was only a little more than 800 million..."
"The film sold for $15 million in Cannes last year!"
"Wasn't it refunded?"
The refund of "Wuji" has already been reported in the newspaper, and "Beijing Youth Daily" published an article about the North American copyright of "Wuji".
To sum up: Harvey first watched the trailer of "Wu Ji" in Cannes, and then gambled $15 million to win the North American rights of "Wu Ji", and half a year later, when he saw the full version of the movie, he broke the contract directly, and he didn't even want a deposit...
By the way, the North American copyright of "Boundless" was finally taken over by Netflix, and Netflix during this time period is still a company mainly engaged in video rental, not a film and television company that has frequently produced dramas in later generations...
“... Don't talk about this, I heard that you are going back to your hometown?"
"Well, go home and see. ”
"Want to enter the Western Film Studio?"
"If I don't come in, I can't sit in the office..."
"And what do you want to do?"
Shen Mengxi hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I have a little story in my head, I want to write it..."
"It's okay..."Jiang Wei nodded: "Ready to publish?"
"Hmm. ”
"Then I won't keep you, do it well. ”
Shen Mengxi bowed deeply and left the office.
How do you know that I am going back to my hometown?
What did I do? Why did I get involved with a bunch of people?
Then, his mobile phone rang, and Chen Liming told him that his "Rose Flower Red Lotus" won the first prize in the script competition...
"Are you sure? It's a horror and suspense genre!"
"I'm pretty sure, I heard that director Li Shaohong took a fancy to it and wanted to direct it himself. ”
