ace screenwriter

The first time he learned of the award, Yuan Yuan took his mobile phone and really wanted to call Gu Yuren to congratulate him, but he felt that his phone should be buzzed at the moment, so he sent a message: "Junior brother, congratulations to the movie award !” and went to sleep contentedly.

As expected, Gu Yuren was very busy and didn't reply to the messages all the time.In the early morning, Yuan Yuan, who stayed up late, slept soundly, but was awakened by the phone. The phone rang for a long time and was about to hang up. The confused Yuan Yuan finally touched the phone, opened a slit of his eyes, looked at the caller ID, and then suddenly Opened it quickly, and quickly connected: "Hello!"

Gu Yuren said on the other end: "Brother, the movie won an award, congratulations!"

Yuan Yuan laughed: "Congratulations, congratulations, I wish the movie a big hit!"

Gu Yuren was silent for a moment: "Let's go with the flow. I've disturbed your sleep, you go to rest, I'm dead."

Yuan Yuan originally wanted to say something, but after hearing what he said, he could only say: "Bye!" Looking at the phone that was hung up, this guy woke people up early in the morning just to say such a sentence, How come I didn't find it so awkward before.However, the corners of his mouth were still raised high, and he called himself Senior Brother again!Although his sleep was interrupted, Yuan Yuan was in a good mood because of this sentence, and this good mood lasted for many days.

After the Lantern Festival, Yuan Yuan and his mother rented another house and hired a construction team to renovate the family house.His house has not been renovated for at least 20 years, and this time it was completely redecorated.Renovating a house is not a small project, it will take at least a month, and after the decoration is completed, it will take three months to ventilate and dissipate the smell, and they will have to live outside for almost half a year.

Yuan Yuan said: "Mom, I've settled down in Beijing in the future, you can go live in Beijing with me, I don't feel at ease leaving you alone at home."

Yuan Ma smiled and waved her hands: "No, I have been to Beijing before, and it is not as comfortable as at home. I like the air here, and the customs and customs here. If you want to eat a salted duck egg, no one will send it to you. .”

Yuan Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His mother seemed to stay here just to make it easier for him to have salted duck eggs: "Now it's not convenient to eat salted duck eggs. You can buy them anywhere on the Internet."

"Can it be the same as the one I picked myself? Mom is the best at picking eggs with double yolks and eggs with many yolks. You can't buy double yolks online." Yuan's mother said seriously.

Yuan Yuan said: "If I go to Beijing, you will be here alone, there will be a headache, and there will be no one to pour water." Yuan Yuan is mainly worried that his father is gone, and his mother is at home alone. See things and think about people.

"Mom is not yet sixty this year. She is not yet seventy or eighty years old and needs someone to take care of her. She is still in good health. You don't have to worry about me. You have your own life, and I will be by your side to delay your finding a girlfriend. There are not many people now. A young man is willing to live with the elders." Yuan Ma said her real worry.

Yuan Yuan put his arms around his mother's shoulder: "Then I don't need to look for it, I just stay with mom."

Yuan's mother looked at her son: "It's fine to say this as a joke, don't take it seriously. Humans live in groups and cannot live without a companion. Your father is unlucky. He left early and couldn't accompany me until the end of life. But son, we all I hope someone can accompany you to the end of life, it is too lonely to be alone."

Yuan Yuan held his mother's hand, his nose was a little sore: "Mom, I can't leave you alone."

Yuan's mother patted the back of her son's hand: "Mom is the best at taking care of others before she needs your company. Taking care of herself is no problem. Don't you know your mother?"

Yuan Yuan failed to persuade his mother in the end, so he didn't mention the day when he would leave home, at least wait until the house is renovated and move back home.

Before "Inheritance" was released, Yuan Yuan finally waited for good news. Gu Yuren agreed to star in "Secret Love". When Yuan Yuan heard the news, he was so excited that he ran back and forth on the embankment of the canal.

But there is another bad news. On the second day after the premiere of "Inheritance", there is a long-awaited imported blockbuster whose release date has been changed for some reason. This means that "Inheritance" will be released with Blockbusters are squeezed into the same schedule, and the prospects do not look good.

On the day of the premiere of "Inheritance", Gaoyou Cinema hadn't copied the resources yet. In order to support the box office immediately, Yuan Yuan took his mother to Yangzhou to watch the movie, and even booked a show.Mama Yuan knew that her son was doing it to support her movie box office, so she didn't blame him for wasting it.There are only their mother and son in the huge theater, and the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River unfold on the screen like a poem or painting. The sky is thick, the mountains are green, the waters are green, the black tiles and white walls are really beautiful pictures, which truly restore an ancient China. miniature.

Yuan Yuan had watched the edited version before, but now watching the re-graded movie, he felt that the effect was better. The acting skills of the actors were very good, and it was a pleasure to watch.It's just that this is a heavy and sad serious movie. In this era where entertainment is paramount, it is destined to not have many audiences.Despite the word-of-mouth publicity of the Silver Bear Award and Douban Film Critics’ score of over 8, the box office on the first day was still only over 1000 million.If there is no attack from other blockbusters, it is still possible for this movie to make money.However, after the introduction of blockbuster films the next day, the box office of "Inheritance" was greatly affected. Although it was a weekend, it could not keep up with the box office of the first day, only 900 million.

Looking at the box office results, Yuan Yuan's heart sank. If the film continues to shrink, it will be a question of whether the movie can pay back.Fortunately, "Inheritance" has a good reputation. There are not many good new movies released in the same period, and the film schedule has been relatively stable, so the box office is also very stable. There are several million every day. Outside the box office, as well as the website's on-demand and copy revenue in the later period, "Inheritance", which invested 500 million yuan, will at least not lose money.Yuan Yuan made a rough calculation and heaved a sigh of relief. It would be worthwhile for him to fall out with Gu Yuren, otherwise he would have lost his wife and lost his army. It would be a big loss.

Ning Xiuwu called Yuan Yuan: "You don't have to come back quickly, the director of "Secret Love" is already in place, he asked to modify the script, if you don't come, we will find someone else to change it."

It doesn't matter if the other scripts have been changed, this script must not be changed casually, Yuan Yuan quickly said: "Don't do it, I'll go back to Beijing right away. Sister Ning, please help me rent a house, a two-bedroom apartment."

Ning Xiuwu smiled and said, "Did you bring your girlfriend?"

Yuan Yuan quickly said: "Don't be kidding, sister Ning, my house has just been renovated, and I can't live in it yet. I want to take my mother to live in Beijing for a few months, and send her back when the house can be lived in."

"Got it, you dutiful son, I'll find you a house right now." Ning Xiuwu said.

Yuan Yuan quickly thanked: "Thank you, Sister Wu."

The home has been renovated, and most of the furniture is newly bought. It takes several months to open the doors and windows to ventilate the house. Yuan Yuan didn't want to leave his mother alone in the rented house. Yuan Yuan and his mother boasted about the spring in Beijing. Only when the flowers came, did the mother be persuaded.In fact, although everything is recovering and sunny in April in Beijing, the wind and sand are also heavy. The air is full of fine blowing sand, and it is dry and rainless. It is incomparable with the moist and fresh spring in the south, especially for the elderly who have lived in the south for a long time. Can't adapt.

Mama Yuan also knew that the climate and environment in Beijing was not as good as her hometown, but in order not to worry her son, she lived there with peace of mind. The most important thing she did every day was to sweep the dust in the room with a feather duster.

Yuan Yuan met with Wu Shengxian, the director of "Secret Love", and the two discussed some plots and details of the script.Wu Shengxian is a Hong Kong director who is best at making romantic literary films. He has directed several classic romantic films and won an Academy Award. In order to persuade him to direct, Ning Xiuwu personally went to Hong Kong three times before inviting him. .

Wu Xingxian heard that Yuan Yuan is a new screenwriter who has emerged in the past two years. His scripts have achieved good box office results. The latest one even won an award at the Berlin Film Festival. This is very valuable for a new screenwriter.He has read the script of "Secret Love", and knows that Yuan Yuan has a solid foundation and is a good storyteller, so although Director Wu is very senior, he still respects Yuan Yuan, and talented people are always respected.

Yuan Yuan said to Wu Shengxian: "Director Wu, let's make sure all the script changes are made before the film starts, and I won't ask questions during filming."

Wu Xingxian nodded: "Yes. Why did you change your pseudonym? Your fame has just risen, so you should take this opportunity to build your reputation."

Yuan Yuan said with a smile: "Basically, the fame of the screenwriter is only paid attention to by people in the industry. For the audience, they pay more attention to the director and actors. With director Wu and Gu Yuren in this movie, I don't think I need to add icing on the cake." Changing the pseudonym is purely my personal matter, I hope Director Wu will keep it a secret for me, and don’t mention it to anyone except Sister Ning, especially Gu Yuren.”

Wu Shengxian didn't care much about the screenwriter changing his pen name. He has a very famous Hong Kong colleague who likes to change various pen names as a screenwriter. It is said that it is to prove the importance of the script. Facts have proved that the script is indeed very important.

Yuan Yuan and Wu Shengxian sorted out the script together from beginning to end.This secret love story is about a boy whose left leg has shrunk due to polio and falls in love with a sunny and cheerful girl. The boy feels inferior because of his own reasons, so he can only love and wait silently. The boy treats him as a good buddy and friend, and confides his troubles and worries to him.

The boy in the flower shop went to the suburbs every day to pick a daisy for the girl, but it was never accepted. The girl only liked the roses from her boyfriend.The boy can only make daisies into dried flowers and put them in glass bottles.Later, the boy died under the wheel in order to save the girl who was in a trance due to broken love.Later, the girl saw the boy's house full of dried daisies and the flower language of daisies, and finally understood the deep love that the boy never said.

This is a very simple little story, sweet and bitter, just like the taste of a secret love.

Under the guidance of Wu Shengxian, Yuan Yuan revised the script repeatedly to make it perfect.By the time the film was officially launched, it was already June. The film was not filmed in Beijing, but Yangzhou was chosen. This is what the director meant, saying that only the boys in that place have such delicate and affectionate feelings.To Yuan Yuan's surprise, the director chose Le Ran as the heroine.

Not long after "Secret Love" was launched, "The Gates of Hell" will be released, and it is scheduled to officially premiere on July [-].This happens to be the movie protection month, and it is also the summer vacation, which is the most popular movie schedule. All confident movies are willing to choose this period to be released, because mainstream audiences of movies have a lot of time during this period.Jiang Shizeng invested a lot of money in publicity this time. He started publicizing the movie after it was finished, and the momentum continued. In May, he even participated in the Cannes Film Festival, which whetted the appetite of the audience.

Before the premiere, "The Gates of Hell" was screened on demand, because the original work was respected to the greatest extent, and the audience enjoyed watching it.Of course, there are critics who throw cold water on it, saying that the special effects are a bit fake, and they are far inferior to the special effects of American blockbusters.In fact, this is a common problem of many cent parties in China. Domestic ones are always inferior to foreign ones. In fact, the special effects of "The Gates of Hell" were made by foreign special effects teams.

After the screening, the premiere ceremony was held in Beijing, and Yuan Yuan was also invited.He planned to bring his mother to attend the premiere, because Gu Yuren had to go to the premiere. After Yuan Yuan arrived in Beijing, the two hadn't met each other. If his mother was there, meeting Gu Yuren would not be so embarrassing. , or someone took the lead.Yuan Yuan took his mother to buy clothes. The plain and ironed cheongsam was worn on Mama Yuan's body, which set off her tranquil and elegant temperament at a glance. Even the shop assistant couldn't help but praise her frequently.

Yuan Yuan was very satisfied: "Mom, that's all, it looks good."

Mama Yuan said, "Why don't you change to the one just now? That's fine too. Anyway, you don't wear it very often. It's a waste to buy it." The one just now was 2000 yuan cheaper than this all-silk cheongsam, and Mama Yuan didn't want to spend the money. .

Yuan Yuan said: "Mom, this one is better than that one. It can also be worn at home." Every woman needs a few good clothes in her wardrobe. Her mother has suffered with her father for many years. I haven't bought any new clothes, so it's time for my son to be filial.

Mama Yuan smiled so that beautiful crow's feet appeared in the corners of her eyes: "It's too wasteful to wear it at home. It's not bad to wear it when visiting relatives."

"Then ask relatives to wear it. Mom, you look good in this, and accompany me to the premiere this time to help me save face." Yuan Yuan took out his card and paid the bill.

Yuan Yuan took his mother's new clothes and put his arms around her waist and went out, continued to go shopping and bought clothes, and added two more summer clothes for his mother.Yuan Ma said: "Don't buy it for Mom, it's enough. You young people need to wear new clothes. Let's go, Mom will accompany you to buy clothes."

So the mother and son went downstairs to the men's clothing department to buy men's clothing. Just as Yuan Yuan was about to enter a store, he ran into Wang Ruize and a slightly obscene man coming out of the door holding hands.Yuan Yuan turned his eyes away and pretended not to see, while Wang Ruize snorted coldly: "Gu Yuren's Gao Zhi'er can't climb up anymore, and now I'm starting to be close to a rich woman." Yuan's mother has a very good temperament, and Yuan Yuan accompanied her after coming to Beijing I bought some nice clothes and put on some light makeup when I went out today, so I looked like a lady.

Yuan Yuan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, probably everyone is a thief in the eyes of thieves, Wang Ruize is also going back more and more, he used to have a swollen face and wanted to open a studio, whether it was copied or stolen, he was always making his own In terms of career, since last year's film went bankrupt, I haven't heard of any new moves. It seems that he is a new big money.But he ignored him, and walked in another direction with his mother on his arm: "Mom, the clothes in this house don't look good, let's change."

The cry of "Mom" made Wang Ruize, who had just walked a few steps, turn green.
