"Death Comes" is one of the few Chinese films that can be released globally, so it is even more famous than this year's blockbusters. It should be able to sell for a good price on DVD and online video.

The agency team has signed contracts with more than 20 actors at this time. In addition to a few people from "Love Apartment", there are also some main actors in "Those Years" and "Death Is Coming".

Their popularity has continued to increase, and many companies have invited them to participate in movies and TV series.
After two or three months of watching and learning on the set of "Love Apartment 3", Wang Shang's three roommates are also a little eager to try and direct their own movies.
In the end, Wang Shang still felt that they didn't have the ability yet, so he asked them to continue working as director assistants and accumulate more experience.
In addition to "Love Apartment 4" being put on the schedule, "Death Comes 2" is also about to start filming. Wang Shang is not planning to write the script himself, so he will let Ubisoft Game Company send people to work with Tianwang Studio
A collaborative screenwriting team.
But... before that, we need to start a screenwriting team.

On March 4, 2004, Tianwang Studio announced a recruitment notice.
"Due to business needs, we are recruiting screenwriters with rich experience and rich imagination. The job content is to write movie and TV series scripts for Tianwang Studio, and at the same time assist Wang Shang to complete the script writing when necessary. The number of recruits is 5 people, all under 40 years old.
.Those who have written scripts and made them into movies and TV series will be given priority, and those who are younger will be given priority.”
After this recruitment notice was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in the entertainment industry.
The conditions of this recruitment notice are too strange. They want experienced people, but they also want young people. These two are somewhat contradictory.
But obviously this is not the point. The point is the sentence "Assist Wang Shang to complete the script writing." What does this mean? Could it be that Wang Shang provided creative ideas and helped write it himself?
Thinking of this, many screenwriters are so cold!!!!
Who is Wang Shang? He is a magical figure who has been using creativity to overcome obstacles and gain countless glory from his debut to the present! Looking at all his actions, creativity is inseparable. As long as it is his creativity, there is nothing that is not popular!
!
If it’s not popular, it doesn’t make sense!
If you have the opportunity to work under his guidance, it would be a great blessing!
Think about how honorable it is to add your own name to the screenwriter of "Transformers" and then be known to people all over the world!
And when I go out later, my work experience will be more valuable. If I say that I have participated in the script writing of "Transformers" during the interview, I may be able to get a thumbs up from the interviewer: Awesome!
If you hear others saying, "That so-and-so seems to be the screenwriting assistant of "Transformers"", wouldn't you feel very comfortable in your heart? It must be very comfortable!
Just thinking about these wonderful futures makes me drool!
"Come on! I want to sign up!!"
People who have this idea are impulsive, and start to go back and think hard, racking their brains to write their resume, so that when the interviewer sees the resume, his eyes will light up and he will realize that he is a genius!!
…
Lu Yang is a 33-year-old middle-aged uncle. After graduation, he was directly recruited by a production company called Tianhong to become a screenwriter. Now 9 years have passed and he has accumulated a lot of experience.
Because of his broad mind, he often has all kinds of fantastic ideas, and has written many weird and fresh but very good scripts, which has made a lot of money for the company. In addition, he has a good personality and is highly praised by his colleagues.
He is also a well-known figure in the company.
While eating today, a subordinate came over and whispered: "Brother Zhou, have you read the recruitment at Tianwang Studio? They want to recruit screenwriters, maybe you can give it a try."
Lu Yang was surprised: "Really?"
"Of course it's true! You can go and take a look. I think your conditions are good, just like your contract..."
Before the subordinate finished speaking, Lu Yang stopped eating and hurriedly led him back to the office.
I quickly entered the official website of Tianwang Studio and found the recruitment announcement.
"Under 40 years old, rich in experience and rich in imagination...Assisted Wang Shang to complete the script writing..."
As he continued reading, his face gradually became more happy.
"I am quite qualified now. It can even be said to be tailor-made. Now my company's assets have been impacted by foreign blockbusters and have begun to shrink. Maybe it will go bankrupt soon. The contract happens to be next month.
It’s due, how about... give it a try?”
Lu Yang thought about it for a while. In the end, he was attracted by "assisting Wang Shang in writing the script".
However, he thought of the company's current predicament and hesitated: "No, I can't just leave like this. I'd better tell the boss. After all, I've worked here for nine years..."
But I was reluctant to give up this great opportunity.
In the end, Lu Yang struggled a few times, but finally reported his thoughts to the boss out of professional ethics and gratitude.
"Okay. You go ahead. Keeping you here is a waste of talent!" The boss did not show anger as expected, but was calm.
Lu Yang could clearly see that the boss's current state was a bit sluggish. This production company had been established by the boss for more than ten years and had grown slowly. However, it had begun to shrink in recent years and it was no longer able to make ends meet.
Lu Yang didn't know why something choked him up. He grew up watching this company, but now it has become like this.
"How about I stay?" He spoke impulsively.
The boss visibly trembled, looked at Lu Yang with cloudy eyes, and finally said helplessly: "Forget it! If you hadn't been supporting this company, it might have collapsed a long time ago, so I won't hold you back now. You have enough
With a lot of experience and talent, I believe you will be able to succeed in the interview.”
"Actually, I sold the company yesterday to use the money for retirement. Anyway, my son is married now, so I don't need to worry about it." After saying that, the boss became a little brighter and more energetic.
…
On March 8, since the recruitment announcement was announced, the administrative and human resources department of Tianwang Studio has received nearly 400 application emails, which is quite a challenge for the beauties in charge of human resources recruitment.
On March 10, all emails were finally screened and delivered to Wang Shang.
Wang Shang read them all day long and finally selected 30 resumes that he was satisfied with.
On March 12, Tianwang Studio organized a formal interview. As interviewers were Wang Shang and Bi Han, as well as two senior chefs from the company.
Wang Shang held a resume and looked at the thick-looking man sitting in front of him.
"My name is Lu Yang. I have 9 years of experience as a screenwriter. I have written a total of 12 successful movie scripts..." The applicant talked eloquently without any nervousness.
While Wang Shang was listening, he thought of a letter that appeared in his secret mailbox a few days ago. It was a letter from the chairman of a company called Tianhong Production Company, forwarded by a friend of his.
I strongly recommended the person in front of me to Wang Shang, and introduced in detail his behavior, personality...every aspect.
Wang Shang quickly asked a headhunting company to conduct a detailed background investigation on this person. The results of the investigation surprised Wang Shang - this is a high-quality management + technical talent with a valuable personality. Maybe he can help him share the management responsibility.
The entire writing team.
Wang Shang didn't wait for him to finish, and said directly: "After handing over the work to the original company, come to work. The salary will definitely be three times higher than that of your previous company!"
"..." Lu Yang was stunned. He had already passed the interview even after introducing himself.
What he didn't know was that when he said that to the boss, the boss had already decided to help him.
Give roses to others and leave fragrance in your hands... sometimes things are just that simple.
