On the Yunlaiwu official website, a middle-aged man named Chen Qu uploaded a script he wrote.
He was an anti-drug fighter in a southern province. He retired two years ago. After retiring, he was bored and wrote a novel about his experiences over the years and published it on the Internet.
Unexpectedly, the novel became popular.
Although it was not a huge hit, it allowed him to have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life, allowing him to pursue his poetry and his distant future.
But after pursuing it for a while, I got tired of it.
Humans are social animals and hope to gain social recognition. When a person reaches a certain age, he will enter the recognition stage and realize his self-worth.
This is the case with Chen Qu. He wrote a novel that became popular, but he felt that the deeds of anti-drug fighters should not be spread in such a small range. He wanted more people to see their deeds.
After all, many anti-drug fighters have to be kept secret. Their identity information, names, and home addresses are kept confidential. Even if they die in the mission, they will not be disclosed casually for fear of retaliation.
But at the very least, he doesn't want this profession to be kept secret. He wants people in Great China to know that there are still such a group of people in Great China who are silently guarding national security.
So, after half a year of studying screenwriting, consulting a lot of information on the Internet, and through the connections I accumulated through writing novels, I got to know professional screenwriters and learned from them.
Screenwriting is a craft, different from writing. Writing requires years of accumulation and some talent. Screenwriting is no different from carpenters, bricklayers, or mechanics. It is just a craft. Once you know how to write routines, you will be able to do it.
Already.
After practicing on his own for a period of time, Chen Qu began to adapt his book to make it fit the script.
Although some parts are still a bit immature, his script is already up to standard.
Moreover, whether a script is excellent or not depends not on the writing, but on the shots. When those shots go over in their mind, people who can read scripts will instantly be able to tell whether the script is excellent or not.
Originally, this was written by Chen Qu for fun. Yunlaiwu is a relatively excellent script copyright sales platform, and many screenwriters will upload their scripts here.
Of course it would be better if it could be sold and adapted, but if it couldn't be sold, there was nothing to lose for Chen Qu. He had already started writing an outline and preparing a new book.
The top author will always make more money than the top screenwriter. This is an iron rule.
How the leading screenwriter is doing, he can at most get a chance to get a share of the box office, but a leading author can earn tens of millions of copyrights every year, continuously, which is something a screenwriter cannot do.
But many writers dream of becoming a screenwriter. There is no particular reason. They simply think that one day they can sell the film and television rights so that they can write their own scripts.
This is not a dream, nor is it something unattainable. They are all literary things. For writers, trying to learn to be a screenwriter is like mastering a writing style. It is not difficult.
Therefore, Chen Qu turned his novel into a script, sold it in Yunlaiwu, and made it famous that he had the original copyright.
His original idea was to give it a try and sell the best, but it didn't matter if he couldn't sell it. After all, the book was so famous that no one came to buy his film and television rights. How could he write a script and sell it instantly?
However, what Chen Qu didn't expect was that in just one week, someone contacted him, spent 100,000 yuan to buy the script, and asked if he was willing to join the team. The other party had a team of screenwriters who could help modify the script.
Hearing this, Chen Qu understood. Not only did the other party buy his copyright, they actually had the idea to film the script.
Looking at the outline of the new book he was preparing, he decisively abandoned it.
It's just an outline. Once this matter is settled, it's too late to start a new book.
So, the next day, Chen Qu followed the address given by the other party, first by train, then by taxi, and showed up at the door of Maqiao Interactive Entertainment.
He was a soldier before. After serving in the army, he started writing novels at home. He didn't know much about the entertainment industry. He didn't even know a few celebrities, let alone the companies behind these stars.
He has no idea what's going on with Mahjong Interactive Entertainment now, and it has nothing to do with him if he knows, and it doesn't hinder the sale of copyrights.
After Chen Qu explained his intention, someone came to receive him soon.
The company obviously attaches great importance to this script, and some heavyweight executives are here. Seeing that he is so taken seriously, as the author, Chen Qu is of course very happy.
The other party made it very clear that they were very interested in Chen Qu's script and were willing to spend 100,000 yuan to buy it. Because Chen Qu was just a new screenwriter and had no other works before, so the first script was
Buy at the newbie price.
To be honest, Chen Qu didn't care. As long as the other party really had an idea and filmed the script he wrote, he would have no objection even if he didn't pay.
After a detailed discussion with the other party, the final copyright fee was negotiated at 100,000 yuan. If Chen Qu is willing to be responsible for the script, the other party will put him in the team of screenwriters, because many times the director has no idea about a certain character in the script.
If you are unsure about some plots, you will always ask the screenwriter. After all, the screenwriter is the one who created the script, and no one knows the script better than the screenwriter.
Chen Qu readily agreed, and the other party also agreed to give him a certain amount of remuneration.
So, this matter was decided happily.
The script remuneration of 100,000 yuan was given on the spot, which was very satisfying.
But after receiving the money, Chen Qu felt his heart was heavy. He said goodbye to Mahjong Interactive Entertainment, took a taxi with the 100,000 yuan, and took a taxi to an old community. The greening of the community is now very good, and it is rare to see such a situation.
The community is so bare that there is no guard.
But just because it’s rare, doesn’t mean it’s not available.
The place where Chen Qu lives now is such a community that doesn't even have greenery. It's still a building from the 1980s. There isn't even an air conditioner in the six-story building. It's a very poor place.
Chen Qu took out 100,000 yuan, bought another schoolbag, packed the money, and walked to a strange yet familiar house number.
He visited this place three times after retiring. The first time was the year he retired, the second time was the year he made money from his books, and this time is the third time.
He swallowed, looking a little nervous, and thought of the promise to his comrades again in his mind.
"I will help you take care of your wife."
This sentence was a bit ridiculous, but Chen Qu didn't have any inappropriate thoughts. He said it with sincerity.
That comrade was ten years older than him. In order to save him, he died at the gunpoint of a drug trafficker, leaving his wife without anyone to take care of him. His wife must have been in her fifties in a few years. Such a woman,
After retirement, he doesn’t even have a source of income, he still lives in this kind of community, and he doesn’t have any children. What should he do with the rest of his life?
Chen Qu didn't know what to do. All he could do was knock on the other party's door, put down his bag, and leave.
