Chapter 4 The future is bleak(1/2)

Shen Xudong still refused to give up: "Then if I write a great script and submit it to..."

Zhao Linhai retorted directly: "Who are you? Delivery? Who reads your script?"

Then... there is a type of reborn person in the Internet who relies on scripts to take off, get the first pot of gold in life, and then copy various projects to attract female stars...

Isn't it not credible at all?

Zhao Xin also said: "Let's be realistic. If you were the boss of a film and television company and an unknown newcomer submitted a script, would you take it seriously?"

Shen Xudong was no longer confident, but he still managed to reply: "...I might take a look..."

"...How many scripts do you receive every day? Do you read them? Do you have time to read them?"

"I'm telling you, now in the production of film and television dramas, they have to discuss the subject matter with the TV station, and then find a screenwriter to write it..."

Shen Xudong immediately answered: "What about the movie?"

“Who will invest in movies now?”

Shen Xudong was stunned...

That is, who is making movies now?

Last year, our total box office was 600 million!

Yes, that’s 600 million!

In this day and age where pirated DVDs and video stores are popular, how about spending money to watch movies?

Neuropathy!

Men and women go to discotheques, karaoke bars and the like for dates. If that doesn't work, you can go to a video hall or a movie theater?

Making movies is a dead end...

Of course, there are still a bunch of works released every year, which are basically mission films produced by major studios after receiving funds, and there are not many audiences to watch...

The only one who can make money through movies is probably Hua Yi’s Feng Pants!

That's why pants are so crazy - if I don't make movies, what will the Chinese people watch?

"Then...then...what should I do?"

"Didn't I tell you? Take jobs and mix seniority..."

The second child, Liao Gaoxiang, suddenly said: "By the way...I'm telling you, yesterday Senior Zhang took over a job and invited us to participate!"

"...What kind of work?"

""Starscream", everyone knows about it, right?"

Shen Xudong answered: "You know...make me happy and worry me!"

"Make Me Happy and Let Me Worry" by Huajian Chow, the ending theme of "Starscream"...

"…What?"

"The ending song, "Starscream", Channel 25 has played it countless times, and I have to listen to the ending song every time..."

"What is channel 25?"

Shen Xudong was surprised: "The video channel of ah TV station..." Suddenly realized something: "Oh, you can't receive... channel 25, meet your requirements!"

"...Ignore him, second brother, go on, what project?"

"It's called "Purple Butterfly", a female crime drama series imitated from "Starscream". The senior said that the other party plans to shoot 54 episodes... It will require 9 small units..."

Starscream…

Zhao Xin interjected: "Really or not? I heard that "Starscream" can't be a star..."

"It's not a star, but it sells very well, and a lot of local TV stations bought it...it's very profitable! That's why there are followers!"

"Starscream" really made crazy money, and four movies were filmed in succession...

"How about it? Are you interested?"

Zhao Linhai shrugged: "...just go and study!"

"I'll join in too!"

"Xudong, what about you?"

Shen Xudong hesitated: "I...I'll think about it..."

"What's there to think about..."

"Stop talking about him and give him some time to accept it!"



The future is bleak…

Suddenly I remembered what my father said, 'If you learn this, no one at home will help you!'

At that time, what Shen Xudong was thinking was, 'My brother is talented and I rely on his talent to make a living. What can my family do to help me?'

I probably understand it a little now.

If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer a lot!

How could he, a pure outsider, get into the circle?

The experience in his memory told him that hugging his thigh...

Eat soft rice or hug your thighs?

He, Shen Xudong, is not this kind of person!

Did he come to the capital from Anhui province just to gain a foothold?

It’s even more impossible to eat soft rice!

The love he yearns for is as beautiful as a rainbow. When he meets someone, he knows there will be...

You can tell at a glance that she is the one for you!

There is no point in eating soft food and wearing out shoes!

After all, that thing is for youth!

In my memory, it is really not something that people can do to eat soft rice - don't think that being taken care of is a free experience.

There is no free lunch in the world.

In fact, eating soft food is also a kind of professional athlete. What professional athletes eat is youth food. Every day, they are either working out or beautifying their faces; either replenishing their kidneys or raising their whips...

Moreover, the aunts in the circle often grow up to be unnatural, and become stronger as they age. They are as strong as their wrists but as soft as their lower bodies. They have broken through the forefront of the evolutionary chain and are at the top of the food chain.

You are soft-spoken when you eat, but you are short-handed when taking advantage of others; I will charge you a huge sum of money to ensure your happiness!

If you can't do it, they will return it.

Those people who are shouting "Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore", how can they understand the sadness behind this?

Ahem...

All in all, the future is bleak…



"I feel unreliable..."

"how to say?"

"It's a newly established company. The boss is an amateur, and the person in charge is also an amateur. Why should the TV station buy your drama?"

Just as I was thinking about it, the third brother came back and was discussing something...

"You don't care whether he is reliable or not, the truth is that he can receive money!"

"...Senior brother just said that we can be responsible for one unit, six episodes of scripts, each episode costs 800 yuan...six episodes is 4,800 yuan...after tax...it seems we are after tax, right?"

Hearing the money, Shen Xudong immediately became interested: "What's 800 yuan?"

His monthly living expenses are only 1,200...

Zhao Xin replied: "As for "Purple Butterfly" we are talking about... we are responsible for six episodes, and we are given 800 yuan for one episode."

Shen Xudong was confused: "Don't you need to join the group?"

"It's not like I'm writing and filming at the same time..."

Shen Xudong then asked: "But I heard that the senior brothers all join the group and adjust it according to the plot..."

Zhao Xin explained: "That was in the past. Now I receive a task, and then I write the first three episodes of the script. The producer looks at it, and after getting the deposit, I find someone to write the rest..."

Zhao Linhai: "We students are the best writers. At least we know how to write scripts. The key is that the price is low..."

Liao Gaoxiang said: "Xudong, you can also join in, it's just 4800 and we can't divide it..."

"Isn't it difficult to divide 4800 among three people?"

Shen Xudong was speechless...
