This entertainment industry is a bit strange

Chapter 3 Do you want a script or a medical record?

Speaking of domestic youth-themed movies, "Those Years" will always be a benchmark that cannot be bypassed.

There are not so many bloody quarrels, n-corners, and abortions, but only the sour and sweet original flavor of youth, which is very pure.

If it weren't for the 404 male lead's crimes, in the next decade or so, the sentimental enthusiasm of this film will probably be stirred up for several waves.

It's just that in this time and space, that poisonous sorcerer has long since been squeezed into the garbage dump by the little fresh meat of domestic entertainment.

The script is adapted from the novel of the same name in 2006, and the script was produced three years in advance, so there is basically no risk of crashing.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, the hero's name still needs to be changed, after all, it is the author's real name.

Yang Rui used to play tricks, and also had a serious ambition to enter the industry, so he is no stranger to scripts, but he has never written them.

After leaving Hengdian that year, he became an UP master who interprets film and television works on the Internet. He has reviewed many classics in detail, and "Those Years" is one of them.

Therefore, he is very familiar with the plot of this movie, and it is not difficult to reproduce it.

The only enemy he cared about was the passing of time.

If you come up with the script 1 minute earlier, you will have more hope of success!

In order to complete the project as soon as possible, Yang Rui entered a nearly crazy state of liver explosion.

The time left for eating and sleeping does not exceed four hours in total every day, and the rest of the time is spent on rubbing with paper and pen.

Script outline, character notes, storyboard sketches... In order to ensure competitiveness, he even moved out the well-known classic theme song.

He doesn't know how to arrange and compose music, so he can only record a demo of a cappella, and prepare to use it as a bargaining chip at a critical time.

By the time all this was done, five full days had passed.

Even though he was young and strong, Yang Rui also clearly felt the convulsions and soreness in his back the moment he got up after finishing work.

Looking in the mirror again, my face was unkempt, my beard was ravaged, and my eyes were bloodshot... In just a few days, I felt as if I had aged several years.

Tired is a bit tired, but he is still very satisfied with the results.

In the end, he checked and confirmed that it was correct. He used the mobile phone's AI recognition to convert the script into an electronic document, and then uploaded it to the Huaguo Entertainment Copyright Database to apply for copyright protection with one click.

After tossing everything, Yang Rui had only one thought in his mind - when he made money, he must first buy a laptop computer, handwriting is too tortured!
After washing his hair and mopping his face, he fell asleep straight away, snoring like thunder after a while.

tired.

Early the next morning, after eating a bowl of hot instant noodles and changing into clean clothes, he took the script and went out.

When he went out, he was eager to try and was very excited, but when he arrived at the destination... he was a little dumbfounded on the spot.

Xingqing Culture, sounds like an impressive name, but the size of the company... It's fine if you don't rent a CBD building, but there's no need to set it up in a duplex apartment, right?
How shabby!

At first glance, the inside is empty.

Not to mention the customers talking about the project, there are not even a few employees, and all of them are either napping on their stomachs, or playing fish with their mobile phones...

This company...why does it feel a little bit wrong, it must be a fraudulent company, right?

But the poster who invited the script really had an official certification mark, so it shouldn't be a fake, right?
"Hello, who are you looking for?" The girl at the front desk greeted her with a smile, staring at Yang Rui's face, as if she saw Tang Seng's flesh.

It's all here, Yang Rui still decided to give it a try, the five-day liver can't be in vain.

"I'm here to vote for a script, who should I contact?"

"Submit for the script?" The girl sized him up in surprise, then went back to call for instructions.

After hanging up the phone, the girl smiled sweetly, "Please follow me."

On the second floor, Yang Rui was ushered into an independent office with a crystal sign hanging on the door——Supervisor: Ding Lan.

In the office, a short-haired woman in her forties was fiddling with a tea set, and the tea soup was boiling and fragrant.

Yang Rui became nervous unconsciously. He knew that the person in front of him should be the person who spoke to Xingqing Culture.

"Sit down." Ding Lan poured himself a cup of tea without raising his head, "Dahongpao, are you used to it?"

I drank all the tap water directly, how can I be so hypocritical?

Yang Rui thanked him, raised his glass and took a sip, but he couldn't drink any special taste at all.

And in just a few seconds, Ding Lan had already completed his scrutiny and judgment, "You shouldn't be a professional screenwriter at your age, right?"

Yang Rui was also very frank, "I wrote it for fun. If you hadn't emphasized that you don't look at qualifications, I wouldn't dare to come and vote for the book."

Ding Lan smiled and went straight to the point: "Where's the notebook, have you brought it?"

When Yang Rui took out his notebook, Ding Lan was obviously taken aback.

After all, people who still write scripts by hand these days are really rare.

"There are pastries on the table, you can do whatever you want, I'll read the book first." Ding Lan said while opening the cover.

Yang Rui responded with a smile, but in fact his heart was already stuck in his throat, how could he still eat?

Being human in two lives, maybe only at the moment of the college entrance examination and when I confessed to my first love, did I have such tension!
After suffering for a full 10 minutes, Ding Lan suddenly closed his notebook, and Yang Rui immediately straightened his back, waiting for the trial to come.

"The book is pretty good." Ding Lan pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, "It amazes me that non-professional screenwriters can come up with such a book."

Yang Rui felt a rush of blood rushing to the top of his head, and his throat was smoky, "So, Mr. Ding, what do you mean..."

"We want this book." Ding Lan replied straightforwardly.

YES!

Yang Rui almost yelled out excitedly, but soon a little suspicion arose in his heart.

Not right, very wrong.

It went so well.

Although the quality of the script is indeed very good, isn't this too refreshing?

He didn't ask for a single word to be changed. When did Party A in the entertainment industry become so easy to talk to?
Moreover, she didn't seem to have read the entire script just now... She just made the decision?
It's so casual.

An ominous premonition welled up in my heart, wouldn't I really meet a liar?

"What's the matter, do you think it's a bit of a joke?" Ding Lan seemed to see through everything.

Yang Rui smiled sheepishly, "To be honest, I feel incredible that it went smoothly."

"Actually, in the past few days, we have received eighty if not a hundred notebooks." Ding Lan drank a sip of tea and said in a leisurely manner: "Sifter out those propositional compositions that are not even scripts, and what is left is not even a script. Less than a third."

"As for the rest of these books, there are either pretentious literary films or assembly-line products that tear promiscuous sex and abortion. In comparison, your book is the most normal."

Hearing this, Yang Rui quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Thank you for your support!

"Besides, your script has a high degree of completion, and the cost should be very controllable. It meets our requirements in all aspects..."

After a pause, Ding Lan smiled and said: "Of course there is the most important point, you are a newcomer, the price must be cheap."

These words were disgusting, but Yang Rui heaved a sigh of relief.

At this time, if Ding Lan took the initiative to ask for a higher price, he was ready to get up and get rich. If it was too late, he might lose his waist!

Ding Lan poured another cup of tea for Yang Rui, "According to the current industry practice, there are generally two ways to sell scripts, one-time buyout, or zero manuscript remuneration and only take the box office share..."

What?Can it still be divided into?

Unexpected joy!
"I choose to share." Yang Rui couldn't wait to give the answer.

The box office potential of "Those Years" has been verified on the earth. A small-budget movie worth 1000 million won nearly 8000 million in the mainland alone.

Big profit!
That was just Earth's 2012, and in Bluestar's 2003, when the market had swelled dramatically, the box office numbers would definitely go up.

If you can share it, only a fool chooses to buy out!
"But I suggest you buy out." Ding Lan said with a smile.

"Why?" Yang Rui looked puzzled.

"Because, this movie won't be popular."

Yang Rui was even more dizzy, "Then you still buy this book?"

"Your script is very good, but the movie we made with it will definitely not be popular." Ding Lan explained patiently, "So if you choose to share, you may lose money."

If it weren't for the fact that the woman spoke clearly before, Yang Rui almost thought he was talking to a psychopath.

And curse your own company like this?

"Boss Ding, I have great confidence in this book." Yang Rui decided to save it again, "As long as the director doesn't mess around, the box office will definitely not be bad after it is released!"

"You still don't understand." Ding Lan shook his head with a smile, "Let me be more straightforward, our company...doesn't want this movie to become popular, so do you understand?"

Yang Rui was dumbfounded.

Sister, are you asking for scripts or medical records?
Bang.

The office door was pushed open without warning, and a youthful and beautiful figure broke in.

"Aunt Ding, I heard that someone has submitted a script again?"

The visitor looked at Yang Rui while talking, "It's you, right?"

Yang Rui froze on the spot with his mouth gaping open, staring blankly at the beautiful young girl in front of him who was still in a hurry.

The cute cartoon sweater seems to be unable to hide the youthful curves inside; there is still a little baby fat on the cheeks, but the graceful and bright face has already shown its edge!
"Hello, my name is Jing Tian." The girl smiled brightly and asked expectantly, "Have you seen the movie I acted in?"
