ace screenwriter

Yuan Yuan walked straight until his eyes were darkened, and the cell phone in his pocket rang. He was really not in the mood to answer the call, but his character did not allow him to ignore others, so he took out his cell phone, and it was Liang Shuoshi who called.He connected, but before he could speak, Liang Shuoshi had already spoken: "Old Yuan, just now Ke Zhengliang called me and said that you were unwilling to sell the script to him. What's going on? Is the price too low?"

Yuan Yuan said weakly: "It wasn't him who bought it, it was Wang Ruize."

"Fuck, why is it him! Did you get the script back?" Liang Shuoshi, who has always been well-mannered, couldn't help but swear. He is Yuan Yuan's alumnus and fellow townsman. He is two years older than Yuan Yuan, and he studied acting. Professional, a drama actor in Renyi, and his best friend in Beijing.Liang Shuoshi knew the grievances between Yuan Yuan and Wang Ruize very clearly, of course, it did not include the fact that they were lovers.

"It's back."

"That's good. I didn't expect Ke Zhengliang to belong to Wang Ruize. I'm really sorry I didn't help you." Liang Shuoshi said.

"It's okay, I don't have much loss." Regarding this point, he was a little uncertain. He didn't know whether Ke Zhengliang would tell Wang Ruize the outline of the story he told him. The only thing to do is to mix other people's stories. Thinking of this, Yuan Yuan felt a little uneasy.

Liang Shuoshi changed the subject: "You will come to the party I told you about yesterday, and help me read the new script." Liang Shuoshi's troupe plans to arrange a new drama recently, and everyone is brainstorming for the script. Yuan Yuan wrote it when he was in school. He once had a very classic play "Youth Companion", which is now rehearsed every year by the younger brothers and sisters of the Academy of Drama. He is still well-known in the Academy of Drama.

Yuan Yuan reached out and touched the top of his head which was scalded by the sun, only to feel dizzy and tinnitus: "I won't go, you can send the script to my email, I will give you some reference after reading it."

Liang Shuoshi said: "That won't work, you have to come here, I am not the only one who wrote the script, there are other people, let's discuss it together, you can help us refer to it and give us some ideas." He knew that Yuan Yuan must find an excuse He was evasive, so he was not given a chance to refuse.

Yuan Yuan sighed: "Let me see and talk."

Liang Shuoshi couldn't help saying: "Don't, you must come! Old Yuan, you have to come out and get in touch with the society. If you continue like this, you will lose touch with the society. You can't write a good script behind closed doors. Don't say anything, you must Come on, if you don't come, I will turn against you!"

Yuan Yuan knew that he really cared about himself, and if he went on like this, he might really be eliminated by society: "Well, I'll come, maybe later." He hung up the phone, put his hands in front of his eyes, and remembered the situation he just met. Wang Ruize, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, one wrong step, one wrong step, if the script hadn't been sold out, what kind of life would he have experienced?It's a pity that nothing is assumed.Sometimes, Yuan Yuan comforted himself, looking at it from another perspective, all the hardships and hardships are all life experiences, tests of life, and all are wealth.It's just that Wang Ruize is like a ghost, always lingering in his life, Yuan Yuan thinks of him, it's like a mouthful of old blood stagnating in his chest, which can't be sprayed out, can't be dispelled, it's really frustrating.

In his third year of junior high school, Yuan Yuan’s father, who had suffered from kidney failure for many years, had to get a kidney transplant. He happened to have a kidney source, but what he lacked was money. The kidney transplant operation cost about 20 yuan.Since his father's previous treatment had drained his family's fortune and he was in debt, the operation fee was a huge sum of money for an ordinary working family.

At that time, Yuan Yuan had a movie script "Shimmer" that he had been pondering over for a long time waiting to be released. It was a very good story, but he was a newcomer. Screenwriters who had sold scripts knew that the first script was the most difficult to sell, and the price was very high. Also pressed very low.At that time, a film and television company negotiated the price with him, and they were only willing to pay 5 yuan.Yuan Yuan wouldn't care about the price of the script if he didn't need money so urgently. For a screenwriter, as long as the first script is sold and can be filmed, the price will rise in a straight line in the future.But Yuan Yuan needed money, and he hoped to sell it for a good price, but the other party refused to make any further concessions.

At this time, Wang Ruize brought news that a major film and television company was willing to buy out Yuan Yuan's script for 20 yuan, but even the right to authorship had to be sold.Yuan Yuan felt very painful in his heart. No one was willing to let go of his hard work as someone else's property. For a screenwriter, no matter what, he could not give away the right of authorship. This was the ultimate bottom line.But he really needed the money, and the price offered by the other party was too attractive. The 20 yuan was the lifeline of the whole family. If he gave up, he would give up his father's life.Yuan Yuan struggled a lot, and finally agreed to buy out, so that his father could have the operation.The script can be rewritten. There is only one father. I believe everyone will choose the same as him.

When his father returned to school after the operation, Yuan Yuan found that Wang Ruize was alienated from him. He thought that he was busy taking care of his father and neglected him, so he planned to accompany him, but he caught Wang Ruize kissing the owner of a limited edition Maybach. Yuan Yuan Furious, he rushed up and punched the opponent hard.Wang Ruize broke up with Yuan Yuan and went to a higher place, but Yuan Yuan didn't keep him.Wang Ruize quickly moved out of the dormitory, and seldom came to school for classes, and the two have been strangers since then.He also heard that the owner of the Maybach was the owner of the film and television company that bought his script.

When the movie was released, Yuan Yuan found that Wang Ruize's name was impressively listed in the screenwriter column, followed by the name of a senior old screenwriter.Yuan Yuan suppressed the excitement in his heart and watched the movie, only to find that the content of the script had not been changed much. It is not known whether these changes were made by the old screenwriter or Wang Ruize.It was only at this time that Yuan Yuan realized Wang Ruize's intentions. He was very familiar with his own script, and he probably coveted his own script a long time ago.But it’s all sold, and you still care about who is the screenwriter. Isn’t this making yourself uncomfortable?

"Shimmer" is a literary film. It tells the story of a high school student who accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by his friends. The friend unfortunately drowned. The high school student felt guilty and struggled between confessing and concealing to his friend's blind widowed mother. The story of my friend's blind mother.The director is a good storyteller. The movie is very reductive to the script, the plot is relaxed and relaxed, the emotions are simple and moving, and the performance is natural and smooth. Except for the leading actor Gu Yuren, the actors are all famous stars. Although Gu Yuren is a newcomer, but The performance is very good, the protagonist's guilt and entanglement are vividly performed, and he does not show any stage fright when playing with many old actors. He is a person who is born to act.The word-of-mouth of this film is very good, and even the always harsh Douban film critics gave it 8.3 points, which is a rare high score for domestic films.

When "Shimmer" was released, it was the domestic film protection month. There were no imported films from overseas to share the box office, and there were no better films in the same period. Coupled with strong promotion and distribution, the film schedule was very dominant, so this literary film won. The box office of nearly [-] million broke the box office record of domestic literary films at that time, and it was a rare domestic film that was well received and well received.The film became the biggest winner at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, taking home awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, and was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay.It was also nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival.

Yuan Yuan was so regretful that his intestines were green, but he could only knock out teeth and swallow blood. The only consolation is that his father's operation went smoothly, and there was no obvious rejection.

This movie made Wang Ruize, a fledgling new screenwriter, able to win two nominations for best screenplay, and his future is limitless.Shortly thereafter, he set up a studio to work on film and television compilation.He edited two movies first, but the movies were both bad and bad, and they fell short of standards, and the box office went to his grandma's house.Wang Ruize is a smart man. He quickly adjusted his development direction and turned to the TV industry. He mainly adapted best-selling books and remakes of classic dramas. "Shimmer", but also remarkable, has gradually been recognized in the industry.

After graduation, Yuan Yuan worked conscientiously while writing scripts. Like all newcomers, everything started from scratch, but his road to success was more bumpy than other newcomers.The manuscript he submitted either went nowhere, or was rejected at the last moment of signing.What angered him the most was that Wang Ruize later made two films with acceptable reputations. Each of the stories used the scripts he had submitted. Classic fragments, mixed with others.

Yuan Yuan was so indignant that he sued Wang Ruize's studio in court, but lost the case due to insufficient evidence.Yuan Yuan tried to expose Wang Ruize's true face through online media, but the topic of "Wang Ruize's plagiarism" never appeared on the Weibo hot search list. Wang Ruize of the team, only a few righteous netizens are crying weakly, but they can't change any facts.

In the coffee shop, Gu Yuren opposite Wang Ruize has been replaced by Ke Zhengliang.Ke Zhengliang looked at Wang Ruize who called him back, since the discount came back, the other party didn't say a word, Ke Zhengliang felt the pressure in the silence.Although the room was full of air-conditioning, he still wiped the sweat on his thick neck with a paper towel. The paper towel was soaked and torn by the sweat and stuck to his neck. He peeked at Wang Ruize, who had an uncertain expression , I was beating a drum in my heart, not knowing what the other party was going to say.

Wang Ruize's face was colder than the cold mist sprayed from the air conditioner. He pinched the spoon with his fingers and stirred the cold coffee again and again. After a long time, he raised his eyes and glanced at Ke Zhengliang: "Ke Boss, you didn't do it properly today, you could obviously take the manuscript and go back to me, why did you come to me while Yuan Yuan was still there?"

Ke Zhengliang was sweating like spring water. He was the owner of a small production company, and he was incomparable with a company as famous as Wang Ruize. He had no funds, and every time he produced a film and television drama, he asked his father to sue his grandmother for investment, or Cooperating with a big company, this time it was Wang Ruize who took the initiative to find him and asked him to find a way to ask for Yuan Yuan's script.Although Wang Ruize told him not to mention his company to Yuan Yuan, how did Ke Zhengliang know that Yuan Yuan had such an attitude towards Wang Ruize? Ordinary people's manuscripts are favored by big companies, so shouldn't they go to burn incense?

Ke Zhengliang's courage and vision are not enough, otherwise a truly excellent producer, after hearing the story, will decide whether the story is worth filming, and after reading the script, he can decide whether to sign or not.If he signed the contract with Yuan Yuan on the spot, Yuan Yuan would have no choice but to go back on his word, but he was too cautious to sign a contract easily, so he missed the opportunity.

Another reason why Ke Zhengliang didn't sign the contract was that he was an extremely stingy person. He himself pretended to increase income and reduce expenditure, and he refused to spend a penny more. He only listened to the outline and never read the script. Otherwise, how can I sign a contract, otherwise I can't use the script after buying it, thank you.When he got out of the car, he saw Wang Ruize's car, and knew that Wang Ruize was meeting customers in this coffee shop, so he planned to get the manuscript and hand it over to Wang Ruize directly, so as to save the cost of running to find someone for gas or going out to eat , but was bumped by Yuan Yuan.It's ridiculous to think so carefully.

Seeing that Ke Zhengliang was silent, Wang Ruize sighed, remembered something, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. What kind of story is his script, has he told you?"

Ke Zhengliang nodded hastily: "I said it, I said it."

Wang Ruize said, "Alright then, tell me what kind of story it is."

"it is good.……"
