ace screenwriter

Gu Yuren's eyes were sleepy, he raised his eyebrows, and spoke first: "Senior brother, you are planning to kill me with a murder weapon early in the morning." There was an element of teasing in his tone.

Yuan Yuan was amused by these words, the awkward atmosphere was diluted a bit, and he replied bluntly: "You are also mutual."

"Brother, you look very thin, but you didn't expect the gun to be quite thick, hiding it." Gu Yuren continued to tease.

Yuan Yuan almost never made dirty jokes with others, and at this moment he had to bite the bullet and say, "That's still not as good as you."

Gu Yuren stretched out his hand and struck Yuan Yuan's crotch: "Brother, you are really honest, let's compare."

Yuan Yuan was so frightened that he subconsciously bent down, kicked Gu Yuren with his foot, hurriedly tried to stop him, and said in a hurry: "Don't make trouble, you are still a movie king."

Gu Yuren saw that his reaction was intense and his tone was not very friendly, so he stopped joking, loosened his octopus wrapping technique, but still refused to let go: "I said, brother, you are under the quilt, why are you getting into my quilt?" coming?"

Originally, the embarrassing atmosphere had subsided a little, but Yuan Yuan's face was flushed red after saying these words: "I don't know, I might have kicked him under the bed last night."

Gu Yuren chuckled: "I just said that I don't need two quilts, but in the end I still won't need them."

"Hey, I'm going to the bathroom." Yuan Yuan laughed awkwardly, hurriedly put on his coat, didn't even pick up the quilt on the floor, and ran outside.

Gu Yuren crossed his hands, resting his head on the back of his head, and looked at the back of Yuan Yuan who fled in a panic, showing a playful smile.

After Yuan's father and Yuan's mother came, Gu Yuren didn't go to work in the studio, but stayed with them all day long, more attentive than his son.This made Yuan's father and Yuan's mother feel embarrassed: "Little Gu, go and do it yourself, don't worry about us, don't treat us as guests."

Gu Yuren said: "I don't have much to do. This year's work is done. Now it's a rest period. I won't start work until the spring of next year."

Compared to Gu Yuren's ease, Yuan Yuan has a strong sense of urgency. He knows that Gu Yuren is waiting for his script to come out. The two have studied the first draft together, and Gu Yuren has also made many suggestions. One modification.But Gu Yuren told him not to worry: "Since you want to write, write it well, and don't rush to shoot. If you can't write it, you can put it down first, and if you have other inspirations, you can write something else first."

Yuan Yuan had just resigned and hadn't adjusted his mentality yet. He felt that since he was working as a full-time screenwriter, he should keep writing, so that he could be worthy of being a full-time writer. So whenever he was free, he read books and wrote manuscripts.After his parents came over, he relaxed for a few days and started working again. On the contrary, Gu Yuren spent more time with the old people.

Yuan's father and Yuan's mother can also understand him, the son is for work.Gu Yuren knew that he was under pressure, and tried to persuade him a few times, but he didn't do anything, so he stopped persuading him. He has also experienced this kind of state himself. When he first entered the industry, he was very anxious all day long, fearing that he would not be able to perform well. I don’t ask myself to act, what else can I do if I can’t act, at that time I didn’t know that acting also required precipitation and thinking, and I was very tired after filming and receiving.I have been busy for two or three years, and after I really entered the industry, I came out of this state of anxiety and began to face the matter of filming calmly.Yuan Yuan is just in the primary stage of entering the industry. He is under a lot of pressure and anxiety, which are all normal states. After a long time, he will be able to adjust.

A few days before the new year, Gu Yuren's studio held a tailgating party, and all the employees had dinner together.In fact, there are no more than ten people in their studio, Gu Yuren, Ning Xiuwu, Liu Yijie, finance, front desk, assistants, plus three artists who signed contracts this year.Counting Yuan Yuan, there are barely ten people.

Yuan Yuan saw Le Ran for the first time after moving away from Songzhuang. The little girl has changed a lot. She used to have a distinct rock style and dressed very trendy, but now she is following a sweet and pure route, as if she has changed herself. of.She was obviously very happy to see Yuan Yuan, but she only greeted Yuan Yuan in a restrained and polite way: "Brother Yuan." It was completely different from the enthusiasm before.

Yuan Yuan looked at her: "Le Ran, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

Le Ran nodded: "It's okay. How about you, Brother Yuan? I've seen your movie, it's amazing."

"It's not my credit, but thanks to the producer and director, otherwise I wouldn't have a bright future." Yuan Yuan said.

Le Ran said: "I understand, I knew Yuan Ge would succeed a long time ago."

Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "You are not bad now, you are already a signed artist."

Le Ran glanced at Ning Xiuwu and Gu Yuren: "I would like to thank Sister Ning and Mr. Gu for giving me the opportunity."

"Since you signed the contract, work hard and you will have a bright future." Yuan Yuan encouraged Le Ran.

Le Ran nodded vigorously: "Well, I will."

Yuan Yuan really wanted to know about Lu Song's follow-up situation, but felt that it was not appropriate to ask Le Ran, so he dismissed the idea.But Le Ran took the initiative to mention it: "I will definitely become famous, at least better than Lu Song." She bit her lower lip with her white teeth as she spoke.

Yuan Yuan asked: "By the way, where is Lu Song signing now?"

What Le Ran said surprised Yuan Yuan: "Wang Ruize's studio."

Yuan Yuan's eyes widened in surprise. How could it be such a coincidence? He couldn't help turning his head and glanced at Gu Yuren. He was talking with Sister Ning and Finance, but he didn't notice this. Yuan Yuan said, "I remember Lu Song You are participating in a singer competition, why did you sign Wang Ruize's studio, that studio is for filming, right?"

"I don't know either. Not long after he reached the finals, he was picked by that studio and signed a contract with them. Then he broke up with me, saying that the boss asked him not to allow his artists to fall in love. , Gossip." Le Ran lowered her eyes and said.

Yuan Yuanxin said, this is an old concept of the age. Nowadays, artists are hyping about dating, marriage and having children, and they show their affection on Weibo every day. Wang Ruize actually doesn't let people fall in love. It's really old-fashioned.He patted Le Ran on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Mr. Gu will definitely not be so old-fashioned."

Le Ran pulled the corner of her mouth, showing a blunt smile.Gu Yuren glanced at them out of the corner of his eye and said loudly, "Why hasn't the food arrived yet?"

Liu Yijie said, "I'll go and rush you."

The dishes came one after another, and everyone sat around the table and began to eat.After Gu Yuren said the toast, everyone drank it off, since they were all acquaintances anyway, there was nothing to be taboo about.As the boss of the studio, Gu Yuren basically does not participate in the management, so his prestige is not as good as that of Ning Xiuwu. The employees usually worship him as an idol, but today Wei Ya, they all ran up to toast as if they had made an appointment.

Gu Yuren did not refuse anyone who came, exchanged glasses and drank a full stomach.Yuan Yuan couldn't see it, so he got up to help him block the drink: "Come on, Yijie, I'll drink with you."

Liu Yijie immediately turned his finger on Yuan Yuan: "Brother Yuan, don't rush to help Brother Yu hold back the wine, it's your turn now. I wish Brother Yuan a lot of creativity in the New Year, and create another masterpiece!"

Gu Yuren finally had time to eat a few mouthfuls of food, saw that Yuan Yuan was poured several glasses of wine by everyone, and hurriedly said: "Everyone has drunk enough, it's the Chinese New Year, let Sister Ning give you gifts, everyone is welcome! "

Ning Xiuwu took out the gift box that had been prepared long ago, each with an apple paper bag, even Yuan Yuan had it.Everyone stopped to unpack the gift boxes, and it turned out that each of them had one of the latest models. Everyone seemed very excited.Gu Yuren said: "Our small temple just opened, work hard, maybe next year everyone can drive a car home."

The accountant said: "Mr. Gu, when you give each of us a house, you will be awesome."

Gu Yuren also laughed: "One day our movie can sell 20 billion at the box office, and I will prepare a house for everyone to do a lucky draw."

Everyone became excited: "Oye, is it true? It's from Beijing." Although 20 billion box office seems difficult, it is not impossible. Didn't the first movie they made break through 8 million box office? , so 20 billion is not a distant dream in their view.

After the dinner, Gu Yuren and Yuan Yuan took a taxi home.In the car, Gu Yuren asked Yuan Yuan: "What did you talk to that little girl about?"

"It's nothing, just catch up on the old days. By the way, Junior Brother, did you sign her because you knew that her boyfriend was signed away by Wang Ruize?" Yuan Yuan was very curious about this question.

Gu Yuren opened his eyes: "Is there such a thing? I don't know. If I knew, I wouldn't sign her."

Yuan Yuan didn't expect that Gu Yuren was also a very emotional person, so he said: "Why didn't you sign? They broke up long ago. When Lu Song signed the contract with Wang Ruize, he broke up with Le Ran, saying that the artists were not allowed to talk about it. in love…"

Gu Yuren raised his eyebrows and said, "This is fun."

Two days before the Chinese New Year, finally came the news that "Crouching Dragon" had finished filming. During the filming of "Crouching Dragon", they played a lot of sentimental cards, saying that the investors withdrew their capital halfway and the funds were insufficient. In order to ensure the quality, the crew did not shoddy and went everywhere to raise money, which is why it took so long.

Gu Yuren laughed to death: "His film was originally planned to be filmed for four months, but in the end it took seven months. It is estimated that he spent half of the extra money. The cost is definitely more than our "Hiding Dragon". I would rather Let's see what flowers they can come up with."

Yuan Yuan was also very curious: "I don't know what story it was changed to in the end."

"By the way, did you see Weibo? That Lu Song is really in Wang Ruize's studio, and "Crouching Dragon" is also posted. I don't know what role he played." Gu Yuren said.

Yuan Yuan clicked on Weibo and saw that there was indeed a still photo of "Crouching Dragon" on Lu Song's Weibo. He was dressed in bright clothes and looked like a young boy, just like shooting an idol drama.Lu Song actually has 400 million fans. It seems that those who are born in the draft are quite easy to attract fans.

Gu Yuren said: "Looking at the stills, he knew that the movie must be low. He thought it was a costume TV series. Like who, he found a few handsome men and beautiful women, made a lot of money, and made a historical drama into an idol drama. .”

There are very few serious historical-themed movies that have achieved success, so "Crouching Dragon" has been positioned as an ancient costume martial arts idol drama from the beginning. The purpose is to attract the current mainstream movie audience - young people in their 20s to watch.His positioning may be good, but the only miscalculation is that he did not expect to be put together by Gu Yuren and Yuan Yuan. The script was revised and the shooting cycle was lengthened, which led to the cost being out of control.

Yuan Yuan said: "Looking at the publicity, it is estimated that we will have to catch up with next year's summer vacation, and maybe we can make a fortune."

Gu Yuren said: "He probably can only squeeze in during the protection month. There are blockbuster movies introduced in other time periods, and he dare not take risks. I am afraid that next year's summer vacation will be overcrowded. As far as I know, there are four blockbuster movies in the summer vacation." Now, my new love movie "Meeting Love" is scheduled to be released on June 6th, let's see who is the final winner."

The day before the Chinese New Year, Yuan Yuan received a call from Zhou Fengming: "Yuan Yuan, please do me a favor."

Yuan Yuan said, "What's the matter?"

"My grandfather's [-]th birthday is tomorrow, and he wants Gu Yuren to go home to celebrate his birthday with him, and celebrate the new year together. The old man's health is not good, and he doesn't have many better days. We want to make up for his regret." Zhou Fengming said.

Yuan Yuan glanced at Gu Yuren: "Can you call him yourself and tell him about it?"

"I have already been blacklisted, I can't get through, and I hang up even if I change the phone, and I don't want to talk to me." Zhou Fengming said.

"But he is so repulsed to go home, I can't persuade him." Yuan Yuan said in embarrassment.

Zhou Fengming said: "I know, he has the strongest relationship with you now, and he even let you live in his house, so your words must have a lot of weight, please help me persuade, I can't do anything if I don't come, I can't Bind people here."

"Okay then, I'll try." Yuan Yuan said.

"Please, please, convince me, and I owe you a favor." Zhou Fengming said.

Yuan Yuan didn't have any hope for this matter, what virtue and ability could he have, Gu Yuren was willing to listen to him?He looked at Gu Yuren, who was reading the script, and sat a little closer, hesitating how to speak.Gu Yuren put down the script and looked at him: "What are you doing?"

Yuan Yuan's throat slipped: "Zhou Fengming said that your grandfather's [-]th birthday is tomorrow, and he wants you to go back to celebrate his birthday with him."

Gu Yuren glanced at Yuan Yuan, picked up the script, and said very simply: "No!"

"Oh." Yuan Yuan moved back to the original place.

Gu Yuren looked at him: "Do you think I should go?"

Yuan Yuan also looked back at him: "I don't know about your affairs either. It's just that Zhou Fengming said that he is not in good health, and it may not be too long. I think going to see him may make each other less regretful."

Gu Yuren picked up the script and blocked it in front of his eyes. After a long time, he said, "I'll go and see it at noon tomorrow, and we'll have New Year's Eve dinner together when I come back tonight."

Yuan Yuan was overjoyed, did he agree? "Okay, we'll celebrate the New Year with you when you come back." He took his mobile phone and ran outside to call Zhou Fengming to report the news.Zhou Fengming was also very happy: "I really have you, Yuan Yuan, I knew you could do it, thank you, if you need my help next time, just ask."
