Chapter 1 Only in the Circle Can You Have a Chance!

Nanluogu Lane, Ju'er's house.

This is a student-run bistro…

The theater is nearby!

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" says, "There must be an antidote to the poisonous snake within a hundred steps!" ’

In fact, the same goes for schools. In a city, cheap and delicious restaurants must be near the school.

Xudong and the others had been in college for four years and often had dinner together at Ju'er's house. The main reason was that it was cheap.

After taking graduation photos today, everyone in the dormitory is about to go their separate ways...

The boss suggested forming a bureau...

Nothing is impossible.

Instead of asking for a private room, I found an empty table at the stall at the door and ordered a few home-cooked dishes and two boxes of beer...

After graduation, the most important thing to worry about is work!

The boss spoke first: "I signed a contract with my senior brother's company, and I will help with odd jobs first. I will take this opportunity to get to know more people in the industry, and maybe I will be favored..."

The second child said: "...I signed the platform..."

“Which platform?”

"Tengxun Video..."

The third child: "That's not bad... If you're doing well, remember to help your brothers, and don't forget each other if you want to be rich or noble!"

"must!"

Picking up the wine glasses, the four of them clinked: "Dadong, what about you?"

Xudong didn't even raise his head and said casually: "I will continue writing novels!"

"What kind of novel are you writing? Don't you want to write a script for Director Zhang..."

Shen Xudong raised his head and shook his head: "...You can have dreams as a human being, but don't be wishful thinking!"

…

I wrote a script for Director Zhang. It was Xu Dong who had just entered the literature department. He introduced himself as...

"My name is Shen Xudong. I came to learn screenwriting because I want to write scripts for Zhang and Chen. I think they just need a good screenwriter!"

Well, you are young and ignorant!

I thought that if I entered the Department of Drama and Literature of China National Opera, I would be able to write scripts for great directors like A Mou and Poetry Master...

If it doesn't work, then change the structure of the film industry - let screenwriters be producers. If you look at the dramas and movies released, they are all bad movies!

How lofty the ideal is, how skinny the reality is...

When I first entered school, the industry was booming, and I booked a place in the screenwriting studio of a large company just after my freshman year...

In my sophomore year, the situation suddenly changed, and more than 4,000 companies went bankrupt, including Xudong's contract company!

In my junior and senior years, the environment continued to affect me, and I simply had no work to do...

Many awesome screenwriters have been idle for more than a year. Who is willing to deal with those who have not gained a reputation?

In other words, the eldest brother Li Xiuxian has a good brother who can guide him - his brother is Li Xiuwen, the screenwriter of "Ten Sends to the Red Army" and the screenwriter of "Literary and Martial Li Yannian"!

Signed at Bad Monkey…

Of the remaining three, the third child is the least concerned. His family belongs to an entertainment family, so there is no problem in working with the group!

The second child has the best luck. He was one of the screenwriters of last year's hit drama "The Rumored Chen Qianqian"...

As the screenwriter industry became famous, countless projects came to my door.

Xudong is the fourth child and a relatively pure outsider. His family is in the building materials business. He was able to enter the Literature Department of the Chinese Theater Company mainly because of his good luck - every year, the Chinese Theater Company, Nortel, and the Shanghai Theater Company recruit several white people. Paper, to show fairness!

Otherwise, it would be outrageous to recruit second-generation stars and direct second-generation actors...

It just so happens that he is a blank slate!

But after four years, no matter how white the paper is, it will be blackened!

Therefore, he said: "Brothers, let me ask you a practical question, how can a screenwriter control the right to speak?"

"...There is currently no such thing in the industry..."

"Teacher Lu Wei can't even control everything..."

"No, Mr. Wang Juan's several dramas have him in full control of the filming!"

"Teacher Wang Juan has been working for almost ten years, and after having a bunch of masterpieces, he established a company..."

"And he is also the producer, so he has the right to speak!"

Several people discussed it for a while, then shook their heads together: "It's basically impossible!"

Xudong smiled bitterly: "Yes, and I'm different from you...I'm not an insider at all. My father, my grandfather, and even my great-grandfather have nothing to do with film and television...So, if I want to have a career before I turn 30, Apart from becoming famous through writing, I can’t think of any other way!”

"…come on!"

The boss sighed: "Times have changed. In the past, there may have been investors willing to take risks. Now, everyone knows what the first hurdle of our film and television dramas is, and then the rest... Where are there investors willing to invest in a new person?" ?”

"I took a look at the registered projects two days ago, and they were all positive..."

"Ahem, say a few words less..."

"Alas!" Xudong suddenly sighed: "I thought I would be able to write an online novel by studying the literature department..."

"Then what?"

Xudong: "Criminal themes are not allowed to be written, and descriptions below the neck are not allowed... Even a few female characters have been reported..."

"...It's not easy for you either!"

"Writing online articles is so difficult... But when it comes to traditional literature, I'm not from their circle. It's even harder to get ahead!"

"...Haha, you understand now! It's all a circle, unless you are a genius!" Lao laughed, and then his expression turned serious: "I tell you, you must never go back to your hometown, and don't give up, even if you become a shooter for others , you must stay, stay shamelessly, only by staying in this circle can you have a chance!"

The second child suddenly said: "It's okay, you will succeed one day anyway..."

Xudong was a little surprised. He didn't expect the second brother to think so highly of him. Before he could speak, the second brother continued: "Our supervisor asked you that day... I think she is interested in you!"

"director?"

"The 38-year-old divorced from her husband? A pretty mature woman?"

"Have you taken a fancy to our fourth child?"

"...Don't be so hasty, come one by one...Lao Si, have you continued to contact her?"

Shen Xudong's expression remained unchanged: "I know what she means, and I also know what you mean? But let me tell you, how can I, a good man like Shen Xudong, eat soft rice? I..."

As he was talking, his phone rang, and he took it out. It was the latest model of Apple 14...

Then the three brothers heard vaguely what he said: "Well, well, isn't this a dinner party after taking graduation photos..."

"Wait until I'm full..."

"Well, I'll be there soon..."

Um?

Something doesn't feel right!

…

After all, Shen Xudong didn't hide it from the dormitory staff. He was indeed a softie...

The other party is not an aunt, but a 32-year-old sister!

The thing is like this, three months ago, he took a job, but he was stuck in the last three episodes - it wasn't that he got stuck, or that the chief writer didn't agree, but that the management got stuck.

He said that the ending was not written well enough and that the climax was not exciting or gripping, so he asked him to hurry up and revise it.

I asked the chief screenwriter and he said there was no problem. Everything was in accordance with the established script outline and the relationships between the characters were in place.

But the employer is the father, so if he asks us to change it, just change it!

I racked my brains and revised it, revised it, and sent it again, but it still didn’t work. I revised it again and again, and revised it eight times...

I really couldn't change it any more, so I asked the chief screenwriter what he meant. He told the truth, "The management wants to have a name on it, so I'll delete your name!" ’

Well, the script director of the investor is a young girl. I don’t know what kind of connections she got into this position. She has been in this industry for several years and has no works to her name. She is too embarrassed to speak when she goes out to a meeting...

‘How big of a deal it is, just let her tell her directly. Why are you blocking my writing...’

The chief screenwriter paid the final payment...

The more Shen Xudong thought about it, the angrier he became. Why don't you just tell me that you're a prostitute? Why are you blocking my story?

Staying up late every day to revise the article is so exhausting!

So, I became cruel and got her...

I originally wanted to dump her directly, but...she gave her a chance to let Shen Xudong be in charge of writing the script of a crime film, the kind where he could write his name!

Shen Xudong realized it when he was in bed.

In fact, talents, skills, face, and body are all your own, and there is no need to distinguish between high and low...

After listening to Xudong's story, the boss was speechless at first: "Then you told us that you want to write a novel? What else... How can a person like me have any other way out besides writing novels?"

Xudong scratched his head: "...Don't I feel embarrassed?"

"...What's so embarrassing? Our Dadong is handsome and elegant, so what's wrong with a girl falling in love with you? What's wrong? If you want to prove yourself, you have to throw sulfuric acid on your face?"

"That's right, why do those female stars have financial backers and no one says anything, so we screenwriters have to rely on ourselves? I support you!"

"Thanks…"

Xudong felt much better...

Then he paid for the meal.

It's a time-travel story, the first chapter... I'm not willing to delete it... Let him die in the second chapter...
