ace screenwriter

The car drove for a long time, and the two unfamiliar people were speechless. Gu Yuren looked at the dim street lights and low buildings outside the window, and it was clearly a scene in the suburbs. He asked in surprise: "Senior Brother Yuan You live so far away?"

Yuan Yuan said lightly: "The environment here is good and quiet."

"It's a long way to go to work, isn't it?"

"Fortunately, I work in Chaoyang District, and it takes more than an hour by car."

Gu Yu was so old that he had never worked a nine-to-five shift. Hearing what Yuan Yuan said, he was surprised and said, "An hour on the way to work?"

Yuan Yuan nodded.Gu Yuren asked again: "One more hour on the way to get off work?"

Yuan Yuan nodded again.Gu Yuren made an unbelievable expression: "Spend two hours on the road every day?"

"About three hours." Yuan Yuan said.

"My God! It's been a waste of time for so long, isn't it?" Gu Yuren showed an incredulous expression.

"Many people in Beijing are like this, and everyone is used to it." Yuan Yuan smiled indifferently. For many people living in Beijing, the time spent on commuting to work does not exceed 100 minutes, and everyone thinks it is acceptable.

"Then what is Senior Brother Yuan doing now?"

"Branding."

"Then when will you write the script?" Gu Yuren thought about it, excluding the time spent on commuting, going to work, sleeping, eating, and washing, how many hours can he write in a day?

Yuan Yuan said: "I can think about the plot and lines on the road, and I can write for two hours after get off work. I mainly write on weekends."

"There is absolutely no time for rest and entertainment." Gu Yuren said.

Yuan Yuan smiled: "Writing scripts is entertainment and rest for me."

Gu Yuren looked at Yuan Yuan's smile, and the words he wanted to say were choked in his throat. Yuan Yuan was two years older than him, and it has been six years since he graduated. For such a long time, without any reward, Still insisting on his dream and original aspiration, Gu Yuren was too impressed: "Well, Senior Brother Yuan, don't you find it hard?"

Yuan Yuan said: "It will definitely be a bit hard, but it is very fulfilling, and writing the script is also a very fulfilling thing."

Gu Yuren would like to ask, will there be a sense of accomplishment after writing it and putting it there but not selling it?But he didn't ask.Yuan Yuan was already asking the driver's assistant to stop: "I live just ahead, you can park the car here, I'll get off here, it's not easy to turn around inside."

Gu Yuren said: "Brother, you forgot that I'm here to get the script. Yijie, drive in."

Liu Yijie said, "I'll just drive in and pour it out."

Yuan Yuan said: "You don't need to go in, I'll go get it for you."

Gu Yuren insisted: "It's okay, just drive in."

Of course Liu Yijie listened to his boss, turned the steering wheel and turned in.The alley is very narrow, and only one car can pass through it. There are no street lights inside, and it is dark. Only the dim lights in the courtyards on both sides are transmitted from the doors and windows, giving vague guidance to pedestrians.Yuan Yuan came and went here in the dark every night.

The car kept driving in, Yuan Yuan finally said: "Okay, here we are." Liu Yijie stopped the car, Yuan Yuan opened the door and got out.Gu Yuren said: "Yijie, help me." Then Liu Yijie found that the door couldn't be opened: "Boss, the alley is too narrow, I can't open the door."

Gu Yuren had no choice but to say to Yuan Yuan who had already entered the courtyard: "Brother Yuan, wait for me."

Yuan Yuan stopped and looked back at Gu Yuren who first put his crutch on the ground with one hand, and then got out of the car with a little difficulty. He backed up and reached out to support him: "You don't need to get out of the car, I'll just go in and bring it to you. .”

"There's no reason not to enter the door, it's too impolite." Gu Yuren had a smile on his face.

There are three families living in the yard, Yuan Yuan lives in the east wing, Lu Song and his wife in the main room have already gone to work, and a young artist lives in the west wing, who often goes out to collect folk songs, and is away for ten and a half months, and it is just right now. No, so the yard was pitch black, not even a shadow of a ghost.Yuan Yuan hurried back to his room and turned on the light. The silvery white light poured out from the room, finally giving support to the eyes groping in the dark, and the small courtyard also became alive, and a pomegranate with fruit hanging there could still be vaguely seen. Tree.

Leaning on crutches, Gu Yuren took a look at the courtyard and walked towards the only room with light. He walked a bit slowly. At a glance, he was no different from ordinary people, but his movements were still a little stiff when he looked closely.He stood at the door and looked into the house. Yuan Yuan's house was unexpectedly clean and tidy. It didn't look like a single man's residence. The dining table is placed against the wall, and the electrical appliances are only the computer on the table and a single-door small refrigerator. There is no mess and perfunctory place. The floor is mopped clean, everything is neatly arranged, and the beds are about to catch up with soldiers in the army. The bed was made.

"Brother Yuan's girlfriend isn't at home?"

Yuan Yuan was looking for his script at the desk, when he heard this sentence, he stopped and smiled: "I'm not interested." He turned his head and glanced at Gu Yuren who walked into the room, he still walked a little awkwardly, A thought suddenly popped up in my mind: He has been ill for a few months, and the injury has not healed yet. Could it be that he will not be able to walk like a normal person in the future, so he changed his career to be a producer?Thinking of this, Yuan Yuan couldn't feel better. Although Gu Yuren had nothing to do with him, he didn't want to see him being bad. "Your legs..." Yuan Yuan still couldn't help asking.

Gu Yuren glanced at him: "Oh, it's okay, it's still in the recovery period, and it didn't bear the full force, so it's on crutches."

Hearing what he said, Yuan Yuan stopped asking questions, and handed over the manuscript in hand: "Sit down, this is the script of "Hidden Dragon"."

Gu Yuren stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Yuan Yuan held on tight and wouldn't let go. Gu Yuren raised his eyes and looked at him: "Don't worry, I guarantee with my personality that I will never copy your script."

Seeing that he had guessed his own thoughts, Yuan Yuan smiled a little embarrassedly, and let go of his hand.Gu Yuren took the script, flipped through the script, and said casually: "You take the script and register it, so you won't be afraid that others will copy it."

"It has been registered. But if it is really copied, it will be difficult to fight the lawsuit."

"How could it be?" Gu Yuren looked a little disbelieving.

Yuan Yuan said, "I don't have that much energy and financial resources."

Gu Yuren said, "Brother Yuan, what about your other scripts?"

"You really want it?" Yuan Yuan thought he was just joking.

"Of course, since they're all here, I won't run away again. If you think it's okay, show it to me."

Yuan Yuan hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked to the bed, bent down, dragged out a cardboard box from under the bed, put it in the middle of the room, opened it, and found a box full of manuscripts, stacked neatly in bundles, He took out a stack and put it on the table, lowering his head to carefully select.Gu Yuren leaned over: "How many scripts are there?"

Yuan Yuan answered casually, "Not much."

Gu Yuren looked at the stack of scripts, there were at least twenty or thirty.Gu Yuren caught a glimpse of a copy of "Double Happiness Comes to the Door", and Yuan Yuan flipped it over. He stretched out his hand and pressed it quickly: "This is a comedy, let me see."

Seeing him pull out the script, Yuan Yuan said, "This script cannot be filmed."

Gu Yuren looked at him: "Why?"

Yuan Yuan said: "It's been a long time, and many jokes in it are now outdated."

Gu Yuren raised his eyebrows: "Show me."

Yuan Yuan took the script back: "It's not interesting to read it."

Gu Yuren saw another notebook: "What kind of story is this?"

"Someone has already filmed similar ones, so this script is worthless." Yuan Yuan finally picked out three or four scripts, "I think these are okay, but no one wants them, so you can take a look. "

Gu Yuren took it: "Is there any water to drink?"

"Sorry, just wait for me." Yuan Yuan walked to the refrigerator and poured water for Gu Yuren.Seeing him walk away, Gu Yuren quickly dug out the two scripts "Double Happiness at the Door" and "One Hit" that Yuan Yuan didn't show him just now, and put them under the stack of scripts in his hand.

Yuan Yuan looked at the refrigerator and asked, "Is ice water okay?"

Gu Yuren nodded: "Yes."

Yuan Yuan put the water on the table, picked up the selected scripts, and put them back into the cardboard box.Gu Yuren said: "You have so many scripts, and you haven't submitted them?"

Yuan Yuan said: "Some of them were voted for, but they were not selected, and I was not satisfied with some of them, so I am embarrassed to submit them."

Gu Yuren said: "How about this, I will sign a note for you, how many scripts I have taken from you today, if anything goes wrong, you can come to me."

Yuan Yuan was stunned for a moment, Gu Yuren felt embarrassed for such a serious matter: "This, it's better not to use it."

Gu Yuren took a look at the pen and paper on the desk, took them over, wrote a script receipt, of course not including the two he secretly hid, and signed his name and date: "I'll read it when I go back. If necessary, I will contact you later to ask for the electronic manuscript. This is my business card, brother, please leave me a contact information."

Seeing that he was doing things properly, Yuan Yuan used his mobile phone to dial his number: "This is my number, you can call me if you need anything."

Gu Yuren saved the number, and then tucked the stack of manuscripts under his arm: "Then I'll leave first. I'll contact you later."

Yuan Yuan sent him out to the car: "Be careful on the road, goodbye!"

Gu Yuren nodded: "Goodbye!"

Liu Yijie drove the car and backed out slowly along the way. Yuan Yuan watched the car disappear out of the alley, then closed the courtyard door and looked at the cardboard boxes in the middle of the room. He didn't expect that someone would come to ask for the script, maybe It really sold out this time.Yuan Yuan looked at the note on the table, Gu Yuren's handwriting was quite beautiful, he thought of everything that happened today, and felt like a dream, before it was Wang Ruize who lied to him about the script, and later it was Gu Yuren's sarcasm , and then the attitude took a 180-degree turn, and even came to buy the script, what happened in the middle?It's simply inexplicable, Gu Yuren is completely inexplicable.

Yuan Yuan put the note and Gu Yuren's business card into an important folder, and couldn't help being in a good mood. With Gu Yuren's solemn appearance, maybe his luck will turn around.

******

When Gu Yuren returned home, it was past one o'clock in the morning. Liu Yijie said, "Brother Yu, you should take medicine and go to sleep. It's too late today." Go to bed no later than 10:30.

Gu Yuren waved his hand: "Understood. By the way, where is the stack of scripts, take it to the bedroom for me."

Liu Yijie said: "Let's watch it tomorrow, it's time to rest today."

"Well, just put it on my bedside table. You go back." Gu Yuren unbuttoned his shirt while walking to the bathroom.

"Okay, Brother Yu, I'll go first, and I'll come pick you up at nine o'clock tomorrow for rehabilitation." Liu Yijie put the stack of scripts on Gu Yuren's bedside.

Gu Yuren had already gone into the bathroom, and without answering him, Liu Yijie took the car keys and left by himself.Gu Yuren came out of the shower, wiped his short hair with a towel, looked at the stack of scripts on the bedside, and turned out the "Double Happiness" and read it while wiping his head. After reading a page, he was attracted by the story , the hand wiping the hair also stopped, and began to concentrate on reading the story.When I read it, I forgot the time. Fortunately, this is a 90-minute script with only [-] words, and I finished it in less than an hour.

This is a comedy, Gu Yuren was rocked with laughter, he could even imagine the resulting scene, it was absolutely great.Such a good script, how could no one want it?Thinking back to "As You Like It" I watched before, some scenes in it are indeed similar to the fragments of this script, but those scenes in the movie looked a bit blunt at the time, as if they were forced to lean on the jokes, very unnatural, it turned out to be a copycat .If "Double Happiness" is filmed, the box office will definitely explode, this Wang Ruize is really fucking reckless.

Gu Yuren finished watching "Double Happiness", and couldn't help but watch "One Hit". This script is related to the subject matter of the case. The plot is closely linked and very exciting. Gu Yuren couldn't help but get nervous watching it .After watching it, I really feel familiar. It is similar to Wang Ruize's ancient costume detective suspense film "Stone Poker". It's just that "Stone Pot" is a costume drama, and the background setting is more imaginative. The endings of the two dramas are slightly different, but the characters and plot The corresponding prototype can be found in "One Hit", because the plagiarized movie has changed the lines and some details in order to distinguish it from the original script, completely losing the flavor of the original script.

The more Gu Yuren looked at it, the more angry he became. This is too deceptive. I didn't expect Wang Ruize to be so low. He could do things like plagiarizing his classmates. Fortunately, he also said that he introduced jobs to Yuan Yuan. He is the only one who can do such a thing. Come to think of it, it would be strange for Yuan Yuan to take care of him.Gu Yu was sleepless, so he read all the other scripts again. Except for "Qianlong", although the other three scripts are good, they are not as good as the two I read before. This Wang Ruize is quite scheming, Just know what to pick.

After reading all the scripts, Gu Yuren was very eager to call Yuan Yuan, but suddenly remembered that it was too late, the other party must have gone to bed already.He picked up the watch by the bedside to check the time, and it was pointing to six o'clock accurately. It was not too late, but too early. Only then did he realize that he hadn't slept all night and had read the script all night.He twisted his neck, his joints creaked, no, I'm too tired, let's go to sleep first.
