Chapter 3 Movie Script

Xiaoming is a new editor at Xianque Chinese website.

She has just entered the industry and does not have any platinum authors. She can only look for new authors with potential in the new book seedlings.

After all, only a few people can become gods with one book in the online literary world. Even the most talented authors need to accumulate their writing skills over the years.

"Alas."

Xiaoming sighed as she returned home and was still reviewing manuscripts.

The manuscripts of these newcomers in the backstage library are more abstract than each other.

She rubbed her temples, took a sip of coffee, and under the dim light, she opened a new book seedling called "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which has just over 10,000 words.

The beginning of the novel depicts a dream in which Li Xiaoyao and the Rakshasa ghost woman fight fiercely in the air, and then he is knocked down and falls back to bed to wake up.

"Hmm? The writing is good."

Xiaoming's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested. He reviewed the manuscript while drinking coffee.

...

Li Xiaoyao grinned and smiled meanly.

Aunt Li put her hands on her waist and slapped Li Xiaoyao's face with the fan in her hand, scolding:

"You little bastard, you are still lazy!"

"I tell you, I won't use this fan tomorrow morning. I will use boiling oil!"

"Wow! You don't have to be so cruel, right?"

"How cruel, how cruel, hurry up and open the store!"

Li Xiaoyao secretly made a face and turned to open the store door.

Who knew that when he opened the door, he saw three moon worshippers with strange clothes and cold faces standing in front of the door.

"Guest, guest, please come in."

...

"Why don't you marry me!"

"The fortune teller said I am lucky for my husband!"

More than 10,000 words are not long, but Xiao Ming didn't read it quickly.

Especially when the two cute girls selling vegetables on the street were scheming and jealous for Li Xiaoyao, Xiao Ming smiled even more.

After reading it, Xiao Ming immediately sent a contract application to the author's backstage without any hesitation, fearing that other editors would get ahead of him!

Li Xiaoyao, the scumbag male protagonist, was vividly portrayed in just over 10,000 words.

"The writing style alone is sophisticated enough, and the characterization and dialogue are even more outstanding."

"The story of Xianxia is never decided in the first few chapters. With this writing ability, this book can't be bad."

"It's actually a new author..."

Xiao Ming suppressed his excitement and murmured.

The quality of the story cannot be seen in just 10,000 words, but Xiao Ming knows how difficult it is for a new editor to sign a new book with such writing style.

The famous old authors are all in the hands of other big editors.

"Hurry up, hurry up..."

...

"Puff!!"

In the dormitory, Zhou Kai, who was drinking water, sprayed a mouthful of water all over the floor, and confirmed to Lin Qiu in disbelief:

"You, you, you really want to make a movie?!"

"Well, it's just in the winter vacation."

"What, don't you believe me?"

Lin Qiu smiled and responded.

At first, when Lin Qiu was writing, Zhou Kai thought he was writing "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Zhou Kai, who has become a fan of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in the past few days, wanted to save the manuscript to read for fun.

Who knew that today, Lin Qiu was actually writing a movie script!

"I don't believe it at all."

"Do you know how much money it costs to make a movie? Does your family have that kind of money for you to waste? How can investors invest in you?"

"Actors, publicity, which one doesn't cost money?"

Zhou Kai's barrage of questions came one after another, and he knew the situation at Lin Qiu's home.

[Chang'an Film and Television Company] is a small film and television company in the industry. The company's actors are almost all middle-aged actors and have little ability to attract money.

And movies need to cooperate with investors to jointly produce to reduce risks, and bring in participants from all links of the film industry chain to cooperate with publicity and distribution.

Not all companies dare to invest all their wealth in a movie.

Because once it fails, the consequences will be quite serious, and there are many lessons from the past.

They all studied directing in the directing department and know the ins and outs of this industry.

It is impossible for investors to cooperate and invest in a 20-year-old junior director like Lin Qiu.

There are only a few young directors who can make a name for themselves in Xiazhou.

If there is profit, investors will invest, it is as simple as that.

"Don't worry, it's just a low-budget pure love movie."

"If the quality is not up to standard, my parents will not be able to convince them."

Zhou Kai nodded, "That's right..."

"Your parents know better than me."

"Forget it, I'll take a look at the script first."

"What's the story?"

"Pure love story."

"Pure love?"

Zhou Kai and Lin Qiu's grades in the directing department are not bad. After that, Zhou Kai sat down and began to carefully study the new movie script written by Lin Qiu.

[Love Letter]

Act 1: Snowy exterior

[1]: The whistling sound of heavy snow

[2]: On the third anniversary of her ex-fiancé, Ashu, Hiroko lies in the snow, missing her deceased lover

[3]: Hiroko stands up to shake off the snow on her body, looks up at the sky, and leaves the snow.

…

Lin Qiu saw that Zhou Kai was reading intently, so he lay down on the bed to sign the contract for the novel "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

The courses in the third year of the directing department are few, so when Lin Qiu is free, he writes and saves manuscripts, which now have more than 200,000 words.

It is impossible to predict how high the performance of this book will be, but the quality of the novel is here, so the performance will definitely not be bad.

……

For a long time.

"Woo..."

Lin Qiu, who was lying on the bed, seemed to hear Zhou Kai's sobbing and chuckled.

Zhou Kai, who had read the entire script, leaned back in his chair with tears in his eyes, carefully experiencing the emotions in the movie, and was unable to extricate himself for a while.

The movie "Love Letter", which was praised in the previous life as a classic love movie that "will make you cry whenever you watch it", has great lethality and tells a story of a deep and sad love.

In this world, the background culture and language habits of each state in Kyushu are different, but there are not so many requirements in entertainment works. They are familiar with the languages ​​of each state, which is a compulsory course in junior high and high school.

Take movies as an example. There are many movies directed by Xiazhou directors with the background of Mizhou and Hanzhou.

Last year's Oscar for Best Director, British director Gale, also shot the inspirational film "Chasing the Sun" with the background of Xiazhou.

But Lin Qiu still made a certain localization adaptation of the movie "Love Letter" and put it in the background of Xiazhou without affecting the plot setting.

Directors generally have a deeper understanding of emotions.

Zhou Kai couldn't resist just reading the script.

"What's going on?"

Zhou Kai took a deep breath, put away his emotions, and said to Lin Qiu:

"This story is so beautiful."

"If the movie is really made, remember to call me."

"Just tell me what you need my help with, I can find a way to get it."

"If you really become famous in the future, you must thank me for that bump."

After reading the movie script, Zhou Kai was not sure whether Lin Qiu's parents would let Lin Qiu be the chief director to direct this movie.

But this movie will definitely appear on the big screen, and the worst result for Lin Qiu is the assistant director.

"Thank you so much."

"No need, we are all brothers, it should be."
