Rebirth of the era of struggle

Chapter 176
If you ask Lu Yang what is the most important thing about being a screenwriter?
Lu Yang would definitely say it.

The first is resources, the second is emotional intelligence, and the third is ability.

This is different from writing novels. When writing novels, if you are talented, you can earn a living by working hard, but screenwriting is completely different. Even if you are a talented person, it is difficult to meet Bole who appreciates you.

You know the director and producer doors open that way?
Why do people trust you?

Movies are not something that can be done with one computer and one keyboard, and it needs to consume countless manpower and financial resources.

In this case, the producer would rather pay a high price to hire a screenwriter with successful experience than use a so-called talented newcomer.Anyway, compared to the remuneration of celebrities, the screenwriting fee is really nothing.

In the previous life, there were quite a few people who switched from novel writers to screenwriters together with Lu Yang, but only a few succeeded. Among them, the most eye-catching one is Fenwu Yaoji, who is also one of the screenwriters of the Wolf Warriors series.

Others, either gave up, or just became a small gunman without the right to sign.

As for Lu Yang, if he hadn't met such a nobleman as Yi Yong, the result would still be unknown.

"Teacher, what movie is it?"

Lu Yang asked curiously.

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Yi Yong handed the notebook to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang took it under the light and looked at it.

Crazy gold?
this name...

He continued to watch.

wrong.

Isn't this the Gold Heist?

This movie was released in 2012, with a box office of about 5000 million. Lu Yang and Ding Chaoqiang had watched it in theaters in his previous life. He clearly remembered the content of the movie. The screenwriter of this movie was not Yi Yong. Well, how...

It was so difficult that the little butterfly flapped its wings again.

Lu Yang wasn't sure what was going on.

Yi Yong said: "This book was introduced by an old friend of mine, but this kind of modern comedy is not the type I am good at, so the writing is not smooth, I am thinking whether to reject it or not."

"What are you pushing away?"

Lu Yang said with a smile.

"Should I try if I'm not good at it?"

Yi Yong shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think. I don't even have any comedy cells in me, and I'm still so old, I'm already out of touch with young people."

"Teacher, what do you mean?" Lu Yang looked at the script.

Yi Yong said: "I originally planned to reject it, but now I think you can give it a try. I have done both the outline and the character design. You can refer to it, and then write an outline and character design yourself. I will help you If you hand it over to the producer, say it is the work of my favorite student, if they are satisfied, this is an opportunity for you."

More than just an opportunity.

This is simply a step to the sky.

Lu Yang was a little excited.

Do screenwriters have grades?

Not on the surface, but actually there is.

Probably a short video screenwriter, a small-budget web drama screenwriter, a large-scale production web drama screenwriter, a TV drama screenwriter, a theater movie screenwriter, and so on, one level at a time. Just entering the industry, it is very good to be able to write a web drama or a small-budget TV series. .

Lu Yang, what is this?

If it succeeds, it will cross all the steps and reach the summit directly.

Crazy Gold is a theatrical movie, and the production is not small, the director and actors are very famous.Lu Yang knew that Yi Yong intended to support him.

As for the difficulty in speaking, there may also be reasons for this. As a senior screenwriter or a university professor, being unable to speak smoothly does not mean that you cannot write well. These are two concepts.

Practice makes perfect, all kinds of skills are at your fingertips, even if you have no inspiration, you can still write a good story. Why do some web writers can update thousands of characters every day, and the quality is not bad?
You mean inspiration?

Isn't that a joke.

Taking a breath, Lu Yang said, "I want to try."

"Yeah, even if it doesn't work, it's still an exercise and improvement."

Yi Yong said calmly.

He also thinks that Lu Yang can try it out. This is a very good opportunity to practice. Theory and practice are two different things. He doesn't want his students to just talk.

Even if you get rejected, it doesn't matter, it's just a young man, so what a blow is nothing.

Lu Yang is very confident.

Because of this film, he has seen it several times and has a deep memory of the content. If he is asked to write it now, it will definitely be exactly the same as the original work, or even better.

In terms of the handling of the plot, this drama actually has a lot of criticisms. I don’t know if it’s the scriptwriter or the director’s Wen Qing who is sick. It’s a good comedy, but it will end in tragedy. The protagonist’s IQ Ups and downs, and finally killed almost everyone around him, his teammates, his father, and his beloved girlfriend.

This is like some skits, which are obviously well acted, but suddenly sensational at the end, making people puzzled.

Comedy is comedy.

Just let everyone relax, such as the richest man in Xihong City later.

Tragedy is tragedy, giving people warning and thinking in grief, such as Jinling Thirteen Beauties in the same period.

In terms of box office, this movie is actually not bad. After all, in this era, with a box office of nearly 1 million, it is considered good, but it cannot be denied that it can be better.

If you remove those recognized unpleasant parts, modify the plot, and make it a qualified commercial film, the box office will definitely exceed this figure.

Yi Yong sorted out the documents, put them in Lu Yang's backpack, and said, "Take all these back, read more and think more, don't worry about my thoughts, just follow your own ideas, within half a month Inside, just hand over the outline and character design to me, and I will tell you whether it will work or not when the time comes."

"Teacher, thank you."

Lu Yang sincerely thanked him, he knew that this opportunity was rare.

Even if he doesn't intend to dedicate himself to the screenwriting career, as a survival skill from his previous life, there is absolutely no need to waste him.It is still necessary to write a few good scripts, gain fame, and improve social status.

The three women have all gone to work in the kitchen now, Lu Yang and Yi Yong continued to discuss the script just now, and he expressed some of his thoughts.

His thinking absorbed the essence of the original storyline and added some of his own ideas. Yi Yong couldn't help but nod after hearing this.

Originally, he thought that he, a student, could give it a try, but now Yi Yong felt that Lu Yang could really do it.

A smile appeared on Yi Yong's face, he was not jealous of this ability, because Lu Yang was his apprentice.If Lu Yang succeeds, that is also his honor.

The three women worked in the kitchen for more than an hour, and they finally prepared dinner.

Chen Qiuyue and Yi Qingluo brought the dishes to the table, and the wife also called Lu Yang and Yi Yong to eat.After washing their hands, they both came to the dining table.

Counting, there are a total of ten dishes, eight stir-fried dishes, and two soups.

Lu Yang tasted a mouthful of small green vegetables and said.

"This must have been made by Qiuyue."

The teacher was surprised and said: "Hey, you two really have a good understanding."

Lu Yang didn't want to talk about it, because Chen Qiuyue used exactly the method he used to cook green vegetables last time.

He smiled and said, "Of course."

Chen Qiuyue deliberately made things difficult for Lu Yang. She pointed to a plate of crystal shrimps and asked, "Then guess who made this dish?"

Crystal Shrimp, an authentic Shanghai famous dish, has a strong fragrance and is crystal clear. Lu Yang thought about it and said, "This dish should be made by my senior sister."

"how do you know?"

Yi Qingluo's eyes widened in disbelief.

Chen Qiuyue and Shi Niang were also surprised, and Lu Yang guessed right again.

Lu Yang said calmly: "I used the method of elimination. First of all, I ruled out Chen Qiuyue. She doesn't know Shanghai cuisine. Then I compared the other dishes on the table. The dishes made by the teacher's wife still have obvious characteristics, and the others are similar. Only this one doesn’t look quite like it, so I’m sure it’s the work of my senior sister.”

This analysis is spot on.

Yi Qingluo smiled slightly.

The teacher could not help but praise.

Only Yi Yong said calmly, "As a screenwriter, you should be so careful."

"Xiaoyang, you are too thin, eat more, this perch is from Songjiang, you have a taste." The wife greeted warmly.

Lu Yang picked up a piece, it tasted very good, he said: "Teacher, Madam, please eat more."

After a meal, several people ate very happily. After a few glasses of wine, Lu Yang also let go, and told a few funny jokes to make the three women laugh.

Yi Yong was also a little drunk, he squinted his eyes, looked at the few people who were talking and laughing, and laughed too.

This meal is much more lively than the New Year's Eve dinner.

After dinner, Lu Yang refused the request to stay overnight, saying that he would take Chen Qiuyue to the Bund to have a look.

Yi Qingluo sent the two of them outside the school gate.

After reaching out to stop a taxi, Lu Yang turned around and said, "Senior Sister, hurry back."

Yi Qingluo instructed: "Then you all pay attention to safety, if you need anything, call me."

"understood."

After beckoning, Lu Yang got into the car.

……

The Bund.

One of the most prosperous places in the entire Shanghai stock market.

Although the temperature is very low and there are gusts of cold wind, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of many people for night tours. This is the first time for Chen Qiuyue to come here. She lies on the fence and looks at the skyscrapers and the Oriental Pearl Tower with twinkling lights on the opposite side. .

"Over there is Lujiazui, the largest financial district in Shanghai."

Facing the cold wind, Lu Yang regained consciousness, and he introduced it to Chen Qiuyue.

"If it's during the day, I can take you there by boat."

"Next time we go to the Oriental Pearl Tower."

Chen Qiuyue looked forward to speaking.

Lu Yang nodded and said with a smile: "It's not easy, why do we need another time, I'll take you there tomorrow, we won't go back today."

"Not going back? Shall we stay in a hotel then?"

Chen Qiuyue asked happily.

"Hey, did you see that over there? Peace Hotel, tonight, let's go there for a night." Lu Yang was a little confused, talking nonsense.

Chen Qiuyue wanted to hit someone.

Because Lu Yang is too good at pretending.

Peace Hotel, it sounds like a very high-end hotel, Lu Yang also said that it is enough for one night.

The two beautiful women passing by couldn't help but glance at Lu Yang, and then walked away with contempt on their faces.

"Haha, you are despised!"

Chen Qiuyue looked gloating.

Lu Yang slapped him on the buttocks and said: "People laugh at your husband, and you still gloat about his misfortune, you should slap him."

"Don't dare, I admit my mistake."

Chen Qiuyue immediately begged for mercy, and Lihua's appearance of rain was all fake.

The two continued to walk, Lu Yang smiled and said: "Are you really planning to go to the theater? You have also seen that my teacher is really a professor of theater. It is very easy to get a spot."

"No, you don't want to get rid of me for the rest of your life." Chen Qiuyue hugged Lu Yang's arm as if no one could separate her.

Lu Yang smiled, pointed to a high-rise building opposite with flickering lights, and said, "Do you know where that is?"

"A residential area."

Chen Qiuyue looked at it and answered.

Lu Yang said: "That is not an ordinary residential area, it is Tomson Yipin, the most luxurious house in the entire Shanghai market."

Chen Qiuyue had obviously heard of it, and she asked curiously, "How much is the set?"

"It depends on the size. When the market opened, it was 11 square meters. Now it has dropped a little, and it should be 400 to [-] square meters. The smallest is more than [-] square meters. You do the math."

Chen Qiuyue did some calculations in her mind, and then said in shock, "That house costs tens of millions."

Why didn't she expect that there was such an expensive house.The cheapest one costs tens of millions, so you have to be rich to afford it.

"Yeah, tens of millions, living here is also a status symbol, but don't be envious, I will come here to buy a set before graduating from university, and I will let you experience it."

Lu Yang is still quite confident. He can't afford Tangchen Yipin now, but he can definitely afford it before he graduates from university.

The company has no other means of making money.

Bitcoin alone is enough.

This wave of Bitcoin, because it is still in the primitive stage, Lu Yang is cautious, earning tens of millions is fine, there will be a wave of fluctuations close to 13 times in 1000, from about [-] yuan at the beginning of the year, to more than [-] in eleven months .

At that time, there were a lot of bitcoin traders, so it shouldn’t be a big problem to take the opportunity to get [-] million.

"I said, big brother, can you be reliable in your bragging? You just said that the Peace Hotel is okay, and now you want to buy Tomson Yipin. Will you buy the whole earth later?"

As they walked, they met those two hot women just now, and one of them looked at Lu Yang with contempt.

Chen Qiuyue glared at the woman: "What's up with you! I want you to mind your own business."

"Little sister, don't be fooled by the man's rhetoric, your little boyfriend is too unreliable." The other woman snorted and pulled the woman away.

"baffling."

Watching the two leave, Lu Yang was a little speechless. Although he had drunk a little too much, he didn't brag at all, okay?

The chick knows the ambition of the swan.

Lu Yang didn't bother arguing with the two women, he and Chen Qiuyue continued to hang out, from the Bund to Jinling Road Pedestrian Street, and then changed Chen Qiuyue's phone at an Apple directly-operated store.

Chen Qiuyue also took Lu Yang to the shopping mall. She tried the cosmetics herself, and went to the men's clothing store to buy two coats for Lu Yang.

Look at the price tag.

Lu Yang said: "This piece of clothing costs more than 1000, don't use up all your living expenses."

Chen Qiuyue shook her head and said, "No, my father gave me some extra pocket money before I came to school."

"Well, if you have no money, just tell me."

Lu Yang did not refuse Chen Qiuyue's wish.

Coming out of the shopping mall, it was already late, and the cold wind blew, both of them couldn't help shivering, Lu Yang asked, "Where else should we go next?"

"You say it."

Lu Yang pulled up the zipper of the down jacket a little, and said, "It's too cold, let's go shopping in the daytime tomorrow, let's go to the hotel."
