Ying Sisi closed the curtains. The soundproofing effect of this small room of less than eight square meters was particularly poor. The surroundings were extremely noisy, as if it was a busy city. If you look carefully, you could hear that the child in the next room was being tortured by an adult for wetting the bed.
Crying, one part is the sound of water splashing in the shower downstairs, and a young couple quarreling over lipstick numbers.
She was changing clothes when she received a call to express condolences from her roommate. After some small talk, she received concern unsurprisingly. Ying Sisi said lightly: "So, don't sympathize with me yet. Let me ask you, what did you use to chase stars last time?"
When will you repay me the thousand yuan?"
The roommate was silent for a while and choked up and said: "Sisi, you know, Brother Liang seems to be coming to China to hold an event in July this year. I am also saving money now so that I can buy a front-row seat.
Ticket, feel the light and heat from Brother Liang’s body up close.”
Ying Sisi replied: "That happened in July. It's only a few months now. Is your conscience still there?"
"Hey, hey, Sisi, is your signal there not good? I can't hear your voice. Is there something wrong? I'll call you later. I'll get on the subway now and talk to you tomorrow.
Chat. By the way, if the snacks I sent you are delicious, can I send you another box?"
The roommate hung up the phone in a hurry, and Ying Sisi reluctantly refrained from making the call for the sake of the box of snacks.
She has another appointment tonight, with Fengcheng Film and Television Company. I heard that several producers from big companies will come. If she can get to know a few senior-level bosses here, then her script may be perfect.
Don't worry about selling.
It would be best if you change your place of residence next month, and if you stay here for another month, your nerves will break down sooner or later.
Ying Sisi came to Beijing alone for a few months. She originally thought that with so many film and television companies here, she would never be in a situation with nothing to do. However, the reality is always so unpredictable, and the more difficult it is to
The easier it is to imagine it, the easier it will appear.
She interviewed several film and television companies. The big film and television companies felt that she had no good and popular works, while the small film and television companies had low wages, few projects, and no signature. Ying Sisi started writing scripts in her freshman year and met a friend online.
I was lucky that year, and I successfully sold a web drama script through the introduction of a friend.
The cost is low and the volume is small. In less than a year, the web drama came out, and it became quite popular. It was already trending on Weibo after only six episodes. The male and female protagonists are not very good-looking.
But Chaohua is full of real fragrance warnings. Although it is not ranked at the top, its popularity has always accumulated.
As a screenwriter, she got to know several editors from film and television companies because of this script, and received several projects in those two years, but she didn’t know if it was the movie "Unparalleled Daughter" that exhausted her good luck.
Several projects have been cut off, their owners have withdrawn their funding, and filming has been temporarily suspended due to actors' exposure to scandalous material.
She almost wondered if she had done something bad without realizing it, so that retribution came, and her ambition to become the top screenwriter in the country came to a halt.
However, Ying Sisi had no plans to change careers. After graduating this year, while other classmates were busy taking postgraduate entrance exams or looking for related jobs, she turned around and bought a ticket to Beijing to start her own journey to Beijing.
Regardless of the east, west, south, or north, is there any place in the world where she, a talented screenwriter from China Normal University, cannot get involved?
Unfortunately, Ying Sisi thought about this problem carefully when she was changing clothes just now. Looking at the poor little girl who had obviously lost a lot of weight in front of the mirror, she felt inexplicably that she seemed like she really couldn't survive any longer.
She didn't know much about Fengcheng Film and Television. She heard a screenwriter she knew from a group of new screenwriters mention this situation. She contacted the people in Fengcheng with the idea that if she could talk about work, she would work, and if she couldn't talk, she would just have a meal.
The address was at Jiangyuan Hotel, which was not close to her place, so she had to leave early. When she got there, it was still twenty minutes early than the scheduled time. She asked the front desk and went to the private room on the fourth floor.
Several people came, including Han Jiang, the screenwriter she knew.
Hanjiang looked a little older than her. According to him, he had been staying in Beijing for two years. He was tricked into writing a gunman script. The screenwriter fee was delayed again and again, and he only got 100% after the writing was completed.
Forty screenwriting fees.
However, his luck was not bad. Not long after, he was led to make a large-scale script. Although it was signed by multiple people, the salary and benefits were good. When it was broadcast on the star, it could be regarded as part of his achievements.
The right to speak will be higher if you take over the job later.
This was the first time that Ying Sisi and Han Jiang met in real life. He stood up and introduced the other two people in the box to her. They were the editorial director and business affairs officer from another film and television company, Huaxiang.
Ying Sisi looked at the others while talking. The two people were not very enthusiastic towards her, but she didn't care. She chose a seat in the corner and played with her mobile phone. Many people came to the box one after another.
, you can tell their identities by looking at their attitudes and words.
Mr. Zhang from the company and two lively department managers came to Fengcheng. Mr. Zhang kept chatting with the producers of the two companies, and most of the others were chatting around them.
The Fengcheng team was probably trying to establish a relationship or hope that the producers of the two companies would like their company's project, invest some money, and buy it. Ying Sisi originally wanted to take this opportunity to get to know some seniors, but she
She was really not familiar with this scene, so she could only watch the others chatting animatedly.
They drank and drank together, discussing the current trend of film and television, and which dramas on the market are more attractive for investment recently. She ate her food and listened carefully, but after a while the topic of discussion changed. She talked about celebrities, gossip, that
Mr. Zhang got drunk and even talked about the gossip about a certain young boy on the set.
Ying Sisi wasn't very interested in these topics, but it didn't stop her from seeing the woman sitting next to her quietly turning on the recording on her phone. Sensing her gaze, the man rolled his eyes at her, put the phone on his lap, and picked it up.
I took a sip of red wine from the wine glass.
She sighed, didn't bother to pay attention, and devoted herself to the goal of having a full meal. Hanjiang was shocked when he saw that the speed of the storm was so fast that he had been hungry for many days. After the topic changed, the man and woman talked about emotions again.
Life, Mr. Zhang squinted and glanced at the people who came to participate, as if he was looking at some goods, which made Ying Sisi frown.
She originally thought she was overthinking it, but the words that came to her ears soon turned her off. Mr. Zhang was teasing the female screenwriter next to Ying Sisi. After learning that she was alone in Beijing, she smiled and asked if she would
I would feel bored and lonely. Coming from the greasy uncle's mouth, these words were even more annoying, but the female screenwriter was actually laughing and joking, and seemed unable to hear any other meaning.
Others either agreed or pretended not to see it. Ying Sisi touched her belly and thought that although she wanted to fill up more, she just couldn't eat with such disgusting words. She picked up her bag and wanted to eat more.
Go, Han Jiang saw it and winked at her to ask her to endure it.
They are here to find Party A. How can they sell the script if they can't bear it.
Ying Sisi knew that Han Jiang was doing it for her own good. After all, screenwriting was no better than other professions. There were so many screenwriters, but how many of them could be put on the screen in the end?
There is no writing fee for this drama, or an official signature.
If they don't find connections and resources, where will they find projects to do and how will they make money? Can they live happily just by relying on the northwest wind?
The prerequisite for becoming a great screenwriter is to be alive. Only by living can you have the right to realize your dreams, instead of running home in despair.
Money is needed to live, but money is never so easy to earn.
