My exes were all superstars

Chapter 410 The screenwriter is too miserable

Three years in Hedong, three years in Hexi.

This sentence is also suitable for Wang Yu.

Back then, Wang Yu was one of the top ten young screenwriters in China. Just like what Zou Jun said when he persuaded Yu Xiaoshu, among the top ten young screenwriters, except for Yu Xiaoshu, which one of them has not experienced ups and downs?

Wang Yu is 10 years older than Yu Xiaoshu, but he is still considered a young screenwriter when he is 10 years older. After all, he is considered a young screenwriter before the age of 20-40, and Wang Yu became famous a little earlier. My Me" won the championship of the script contest, and then began to emerge.

And Wang Yu was actually very young when he succeeded with the short film "Big Me", and then it was ups and downs, but it can be regarded as getting stronger every time. Three years ago, it was Wang Yu's peak. , He has just been promoted to a great screenwriter.

And then, it kept falling and falling.

In three years, Wang Yuluo has almost become a marginal screenwriter.

This time, director Xia Qing gave him the opportunity to follow suit in the movie "On the Journey".

After all, the two had been friends for many years, and Xia Qing was well-known in the director's profession, so naturally he wanted to support Wang Yu.

So there was a collaboration between two people.

Originally, Wang Yu didn't intend to follow the trend at all. For Wang Yu, he was an outstanding screenwriter after all, so he still needs some face. The name he wrote was not "Long Road". Fast Comer".

In the end, Xia Qing directly rejected Wang Yu's script.

"Do you know why you keep rushing to the street? It's because you don't know how to judge the situation at all. You can see why Su Dong is rushing to the street. You have to embrace the market and don't always be arrogant."

Although Xia Qing's words were sharp, they were also the truth.

If you hit the street, you are not qualified to pick three or four.

The weak have no conditions to choose.

Of course Wang Yu wants to write his own script. He not only wants to write his own script, but also wants to write a script that can prove himself.

But it's useless.

He, Wang Yu, was self-willed for a year and a half, and then all the scripts he wrote fell on the street. He even refused to admit defeat, and planned to direct and act in one himself.

In Wang Yu's words, if Yu Xiaoshu can do it, so can he, Wang Yu.

Then Wang Yu only achieved half of what Yu Xiaoshu did, that is, he also fell to the bottom, not only fell to the bottom, but he was also heavily in debt and divorced at the same time.

To put it simply, Wang Yu has experienced everything that happened to Yu Xiaoshu three years ago.

When a person reaches middle age, his career bottoms out, and then his family is gone.

Now Wang Yu is silently holding his breath, he wants to prove himself, he also wants to stand up.

In his heart, Yu Xiaoshu is his role model.

Since Yu Xiaoshu can succeed, so can he.

Therefore, Wang Yu was also persevering, and when Xia Qing gave him such an opportunity, he certainly cherished it, but he did not expect that Xia Qing would let him copy it.

"How can this be done? I'm a literati."

Of course Wang Yu refused.

Xia Qing shook his head: "Of course literati don't call it plagiarism. We just learn from it. Besides, look at other people. As long as you succeed, who cares if you plagiarize? You can only be self-willed if you are successful. Success, why are you willful??"

In short, Wang Yu finally agreed to everything Xia Qing said.

No way.

Life is like rape, you have to accept it anyway, even if it is a sex/perversion, there is nothing you can do about it.

In short, it can only be accepted.

But Wang Yu felt that Xia Qing was a little unwise today.

"Did you say too much?"

Wang Yu said worriedly: "We were originally Yu Xiaoshu who followed suit, but you are still so arrogant, what if Yu Xiaoshu holds a grudge?"

"Wang Yu, do you know why you became like this?"

Xia Qing looked at Wang Yu and said speechlessly.

Wang Yu frowned: "Why??"

"It's because you're so screwed up. You're always worried about this and that. Think about the scripts you've written in the last three years. Have you lost the indomitable momentum you had before?? After you got married, it's actually It has been changing, in the beginning, you can still write some sweet ones, so it’s not bad to make it into a sweet pet drama, but what happened later??”

Xia Qing shook his head slightly and said: "Later, what you wrote became more and more ineffective, more and more twisted, and less and less spiritual, and you were looking forward and backward, thinking about this, thinking about that, worrying about this, worrying about that, and finally, yes It's useless at all, you are getting more and more desperate, aren't you??"

But Wang Yu found reasons for himself: "Old Xia, you are going too far by saying this. You, the director, should understand that when we fail once, we will naturally look forward and backward, so..."

"That's why you always find reasons for yourself."

Xia Qing said to Wang Yu: "I'm not mocking you, I just want to tell you, Wang Yu, you are already like this, what are you worried about? What else is there to worry about? Besides, I offended Yu Xiaoshu, I really worry That's why I should be worried."

Wang Yu stopped talking.

He admitted that Xia Qing was right, and that in the past two years, Wang Yu had actually been somewhat dissatisfied with the script he had written, but there was nothing he could do. He didn't know what to do. The script has lost its spirit.

But what can be done? ?
No way.

The more anxious you are, the more anxious you are, the more rubbish you write.

Not only did Xia Qing give Wang Yu such advice, but other relatives and friends also said so.

That means that you, Wang Yu, have already reached this point anyway, so what else is there to be afraid of? ?
It's easy to say, but it's because each book is more and more on the street, so Wang Yu is even more lacking in self-confidence and looking forward and backward.

"Okay, okay, I have nothing else to say."

Xia Qing laughed when Wang Yu didn't speak: "Do you think I'm stupid? If I didn't say that, how could there be any topic? The more brain-dead, the more topical, the media likes to watch it. Well, if you are really worried, then you should write the follow-up script carefully, but don’t be pressured, how much is our investment in this movie? If it hits the street, it will hit the street, what’s the matter.”

Saying that, Xia Qing patted Wang Yu's shoulder and said: "Okay, okay, let's go, eat, don't be so sad, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of???"

It is false for Wang Yu to say in her heart that she is not moved.

In the entertainment circle, Wang Yu and Yu Xiaoshu have both experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships. When Yu Xiaoshu hit the street, besides his teacher Zou Jun, he only had a relationship with Lin Feiyang. As for Wang Yu, Xia Qing was the only one in the entertainment circle who was willing. Give him a hand.

Xia Qing is a rare director among directors. The dramas he shoots are all low-cost. Whether it is a movie or a TV series, the investment is basically extremely low, which is exactly the case. Xia Qing is not bad.

What is the most important thing?

The most important thing is that Xia Qing is very smart, what he shoots will always follow the trend, whether it is a movie or a TV series, he will always follow the trend.

It's not that no one has ridiculed him before, thinking that Xia Qing would only follow suit and plagiarize.

Xia Qing didn't care about it at all.

What is the entertainment industry?
You only look at success and don’t look at failure. It’s useless to be hypocritical in the entertainment circle. This is cruel to the extreme, and at the same time, there is no limit to the extreme. As long as there is a topic, as long as the topic explodes, then you can plagiarize As a mentor, you can be on variety shows even if you are a scumbag.

Nothing matters.

face? ?
What are you doing with your face? ?

In the entertainment industry, if you want to be popular, you can't shame yourself.

Xia Qing has been doing pretty well in the past few years, maybe it's because of shamelessness.

Besides, whether you follow the trend or plagiarize, you have to be capable. If you don't have the ability, you will still hit the street.

In this regard, Xia Qing is really capable.

As he himself said, he was just trying to copy the topic.

No, it turns out that Xia Qing is smart. Among the current 5 follow-up dramas, Xia Qing is the only one who has fired up "Lost Journey" which she is currently filming.

"This Xia Qing, doing this again, I'm so annoying."

"Damn it, I want to see how Xia Qing's "Lost Journey" is going to be this time."

"One thing to say, it's not a day or two for Xia Qing to be shameless, but I didn't expect that this script was written by Wang Yu."

"Sigh, Wang Yu has been miserable for the past three years, even worse than Yu Xiaoshu."

"That's right, this is true. Wang Yu is indeed worse than Yu Xiaoshu. Anyway, he was one of the top ten young screenwriters back then."

"What's the use? Look at the top ten young screenwriters, except for Yu Xiaoshu, how are the others doing???"

……

Among these discussions, there are netizens who watch the excitement and are not afraid of big things, and there are also people in the industry.

Screenwriting, it's hard.

This is common sense. The most important thing is that a person's creative ability does not soar as you grow older. On the contrary, sometimes, you may still be gifted when you are young, but as you grow older, On the contrary, it won't work.

Not only screenwriters, as long as any creator is concerned, it is basically like this. Sometimes age is not only useless, but also becomes a burden.

Just so, some people basically belong to the peak when they debut, and then gradually fail.

Wang Yu is also one of them.

And the remaining 9 screenwriters are actually similar.

Let's put it this way, the current screenwriting market is actually not much better. Don't just look at the top, you can see the wave in the middle, and not only is it not good, on the contrary, it has become more and more cruel.

Last year, someone did a survey on the current situation of screenwriters, basically they are between 20-40 years old, and have at least one fully signed work (including theater movies, online movies, TV dramas, webcasts, etc.) , and young people who are still working as screenwriters.

There are almost 300 screenwriters in total, and the average age is 30 years old. Not only that, but the ratio of male to female is basically the same.

However, the results of the survey were not optimistic.

Yes, it’s quite pessimistic. Almost 40% of them can’t even afford to support themselves, and among them there are some screenwriters who used to be almost excellent, and they are even great screenwriters.

Among them was Wang Yu, and some others.

Wang Yu hasn't reached the point where he can't afford to support himself, but other screenwriters are almost the same. Some screenwriters wrote a popular script, but the popular script didn't actually make any money, and the result was a little bit worse. Once I became famous, the script I wrote would fail again.

In short, there are not so few screenwriters like this.

It is also because of this that it is difficult for creators, and now many people have never thought that Wang Yu, who has been silent for a long time, is so unclassified.

Some screenwriters who once wished Wang Yu an idol also felt a little sad.

"No wonder, no wonder at the beginning it was said to persuade people to learn screenwriting, and the sky was struck by lightning, isn't it? What the hell did I learn to be a screenwriter?"

"Hi, I don't want to say anything now, I just want to say one thing, I'm going to change careers."

"Hehe, are you just going to change careers? I changed careers a long time ago. Really, it's meaningless."

"The world is not worth it, indeed, the world is not worth it."

……

Good guy.

I'm afraid that even Wang Yu himself didn't expect the last one to fly directly to him like a boomerang.

What is this? ?
At this moment, Wang Yu looked at the situation on the Internet in a daze.

However, the heat does exist.

Many people expressed concern to Wang Yu one after another.

really care.

Wang Yu was too miserable.

Many people also said: "Wang Yu, don't worry, we support you."

Wang Yu didn't expect that in the past three years, he re-logged on the hot search because he was too miserable.

This really made Wang Yu wonder whether to cry or laugh.

It was so unexpected.

Or rather, it was really embarrassing.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing."

Xia Qing shook his head slightly and said: "Now the outside world is saying that we are plagiarizing "People on the Journey", but only you and I know that we are not plagiarizing, we are just following the trend, but Wang Yu, you should know that we are following the trend this time. Be sure to keep up and be right, so what you wrote before is definitely not good, but I think there is no problem with what you wrote later. At present, you are shooting according to your final version. Don't worry, don't say too much about the box office, but definitely not will hit the street."

Xia Qing has already used this method quite skillfully.

For Xia Qing, he thought that his f-ck would definitely rise again.

He immediately gave Wang Yu a hand, and at the same time finished the movie.

It can really be called killing two birds with one stone.

Later, someone wanted to continue asking Yu Xiaoshu about Xia Qing's speech, but Yu Xiaoshu chose to ignore it.

Again, he felt that it was really unnecessary for him to ask these people.

Pretty redundant.

Yu Xiaoshu came to see Su Qing today.

"What? Are you going to ask the teacher to ask the crime??"

Su Qing looked at Yu Xiaoshu and said with a smile.

"Where did you ask the teacher to ask the crime??? Look at this first."

Yu Xiaoshu said and handed Su Qing a document.
