Huayu: Hard fight against Zhang Weiping at the beginning

Chapter 359: Recruiting a younger brother Yu Zheng

Old Beijing Copper Pot Shabu Shabu

It is very famous, but in fact there are similar dishes all over the country, that is, mutton hot pot in clear water.

The few of them did not go to Donglaishun, but went to a small restaurant recommended by Ning Hao.

This kind of copper pot hot pot is good as long as the mutton is good and the sesame sauce is fragrant. It is not necessarily better than Donglai Shun.

A group of four people were eating hotpot around a table. The dishes were simple, just a few plates of meat and the rest were two sets of tofu and cabbage.

Zhang Chen pushed a whole plate of hand-cut meat into the hot pot, and the boiling water immediately changed the color of the mutton.

Yu Zheng wanted to pick up the meat with his chopsticks, but Zhang Chen stopped him: "Wait a minute, wait until the meat changes color before eating..."

Along the way, Yu Zheng has almost explained his life story.

Born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, he wanted to be an actor at first, but after performing a scene and having it NGed more than 100 times, he realized he was not suited to being a star, so he learned to be a screenwriter.

After discovering that he had some talent in screenwriting, he became an apprentice to a Hong Kong producer and went back to Hong Kong with him to learn how to write scripts.

He wrote the script and learned the skills, but he found that his master was taking advantage of him, so he returned to the mainland in anger.

But without any qualifications, I can’t find a job and I’ve been hungry for several days.

Knowing that many big names in the circle would come to Beijing Film Academy’s New Year’s Eve party, I thought of trying my luck.

When I got there, I found I couldn't get in at all.

There is no other way, I can only use the stupid method and wait at the door.

But the big stars who came out ignored him completely.

Just kidding, the lesson of Wu Ruofu is still fresh in my mind. If you are still sneaky when meeting a stranger like this, and the bodyguard who lets you get within five meters will be fired.

Therefore, although Yu Zheng met many celebrities, no one was willing to pay attention to him.

Zhang Chen and his friends are the only ones.

"Okay, eat slowly, there's plenty~"

Yu Zheng had been hungry for several days and finally had a full meal, but the lady didn't care about her image at all.

There were three plates of mutton, but no one else took a bite with their chopsticks, and it all went into his stomach.

"Okay, listen to me and take a rest first. I'm afraid you might hurt your body if you eat too fast~"

People who are hungry for a long time may really die of overeating. Zhang Chen doesn't want Yu Ma to die of overeating in the future.

Yu Zheng ate until he was 80% full and finally no longer felt hungry.

"What do you want to do from me?" Zhang Chen finally asked his question.

"I...I want to join the screenwriter team of Xingchen Entertainment..."

As soon as he said this, the three people next to him laughed.

The spots on the Xingchen Entertainment screenwriter team are very popular in the industry right now. I wonder how many people want to join.

Zhang Chen pays very high salaries to screenwriters in the company, not only a basic salary but also generous bonuses.

In Zhang Chen’s previous films, the screenwriter team received a lot of bonuses.

Well-known screenwriters such as Yue Xiaojun and Xing Aina are members of the screenwriter group, and they became famous in the screenwriter group.

Chen Xi said with a smile: "I don't mean to belittle you, but you said you want to join the screenwriter team, what is your basis?"

Yu Zheng knew that this was going to be released, so he quickly racked his brains to get some useful information out.

"I write scripts very quickly. For a 30-episode TV series, I can write two episodes a day~" "Writing quickly is just a basic requirement, you also have to write well~" Chen Xi was a little disgusted by Zheng's shameless words.

"I'm familiar with almost all the plots of TV dramas on the market. There are three treasures in Korean dramas: car accidents and cancer cannot be cured. I was the first to come up with this idea. No matter what drama you want to make, as long as you give me a framework, I can fill it with content and guarantee that you will be satisfied. I have a good grasp of the psychology of female audiences..."

When it comes to the field he is good at, Yu Zheng talks freely.

Zhang Chen interrupted him: "Then tell me about your understanding of the profession of screenwriter~"

Yu Zheng paused: "If you really want me to tell you, what I say may be different from what you expect..."

"Just tell me, I just want to hear your true thoughts~"

"Well, I'll tell you, I don't think screenwriters need to worry too much about copyright. If you come across a good plot, just copy it. As for copyright, that's a matter for the future..."

Zhang Chen smiled but said nothing. It was really that shameless 'Yu Ma'.

You haven't discovered your nagging trait yet, but with this shameless attitude, it's no wonder that people sue you for plagiarism.

In the literary circle, the most famous plagiarist is Guo Xiaosi, because he not only plagiarized, but also refused to apologize after being found guilty by the court.

Yu Zheng is the Guo Xiaosi in the screenwriter circle.

His road to fame is inseparable from plagiarism.

He ignored the warning from Aunt Qiong Yao, and even after being sued by Aunt Qiong Yao and winning the case, Yu Zheng still refused to apologize. He is a complete copy of Guo Xiaosi.

"You said you understand the psychology of female audiences very well, so tell me, what do female audiences like?"

"Older female audiences like trivial household matters, where parents are the villains and can do whatever disgusting things they want.

Young people like to watch romance dramas. Whether it is an ancient drama or a modern drama, the main plot is romance, and everything else revolves around this main plot, so the ratings will definitely not be bad..."

That's a bit interesting.

Zhang Chen looked at him with admiration.

Because what the other party said was so right. No wonder he has been popular for more than ten years despite having such a bad reputation. He really has some great skills.

Yu Zheng’s words reminded him of a summary of male and female frequencies in an article in later generations.

Male Channel: The male protagonist travels back to ancient times, supports the Han Dynasty, unifies China, lights up the technology tree, and all the lands he sees are Han territory...

Female channel: The heroine travels back to ancient times and falls in love with a prince, a prince, a prince, and various heroes...

Men and women are really not on the same page.

"My Fair Princess", most men sneer at it, but it is so popular that it has swept across Southeast Asia.

Even more than ten years later, when Zhao Yanzi went to Koh Chang, Thailand to film "Chinese Restaurant", she could still buy goods on credit from the store owner by relying on her face.

Perhaps the only one who can get the same treatment is Liu Tao, who plays Mazu.

Seeing this guy talking nonsense, Chen Xi and Ning Hao were waiting for Zhang Chen to give him a fatal blow, but unexpectedly Zhang Chen said: "Okay, if you have some ability, I agree that you can temporarily join the screenwriter team as an intern. When you write a hit, I will make you a full-time employee..."

Zhang Chen’s words made Yu Zheng smile with joy, and he felt that he had finally met his mentor in life.

If you don't mind, I'd like to be your foster father.

This shocked the two people next to him.

In their opinion, this guy was talking complete nonsense. Brother, why did you believe him?
But only Zhang Chen knew that starting next year, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas would officially debut and would dominate the domestic entertainment industry for ten years. Wang Liyun would also become synonymous with the evil mother-in-law.

Yes, Wang Liyun is Che Xiao’s mother.
