Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 1 The First Pot of Gold
On July 2001, 7, Li Wenyu was walking down the stairs from his dormitory building and passing the duty room when he heard a familiar voice from inside. "Xiao Li, your letter has arrived. You've asked me five times in the past ten days, and I finally have good news for you."

Li Wenyu was overjoyed. He turned around and saw the fifty-year-old dormitory manager handing an envelope out the window. He took it and said politely, "Thank you, Uncle Liu."

After a few more polite words, he saw that the address of the letter was Hong Kong Island. He felt more confident and turned back to the dormitory upstairs. There was no one else in the four-person dormitory. He opened the envelope and looked at it. After reading it for a few minutes, he pounded the bed with joy twice.

This is a letter from Zhang Guorong from Hong Kong Island. It may be the real person or a staff member writing in the other party's tone. The content is that the script "Tsuen Wan by the Sea" sent by Li Wenyu is very good and the other party is willing to buy it for 15 Hong Kong dollars.

If Li Wenyu has any other ideas, such as joining the crew and observing the filming scene, he can call him.

There is a phone number on the letter.

Li Wenyu put the letter down, poured a glass of warm water, and finished his speech. He clapped his hands again and said, "After more than a month of rebirth, I finally made my first pot of gold. 2001 Hong Kong dollars in 15? This is not a small amount of money. It's likely that Zhang Guorong really likes this script, so she offered such a high price."

"A new screenwriter in the industry... no matter how good their script is, not only will it be stolen by someone else, but once it's sent out, it will become another famous screenwriter's script. If you really buy it, even 10,000 yuan is a high price."

He once again lamented that Zhang Guorong originally committed suicide in 2003, and his posthumous deification on the Internet might have been overly exaggerated, but Brother Rong did have a very good reputation.

If you send the script to other film and television groups in Hong Kong and the Mainland, no matter which one it is, putting aside the impersonation and plagiarism, letting the pirated version be released first and then pretending it's the genuine version, etc., what's the highest price you can give to a rookie from the 99 literature department of the Beijing Film Academy?
As a member of the "Rebirth Party," the Tsuen Wan seaside destination Li Wenyu sent to was the original film "Manchester by the Sea," shot and produced in 2015. It was released in 2016, costing $800 million to produce and grossing $4700 million in the US. It received a slew of Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor, Best Director, Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.

The trophies I finally got were for the best screenplay and best actor!
You say winning awards requires effort, connections, and money? Zhang Guorong and a group of renowned Hong Kong directors have extensive connections at the three major European film festivals. If the script is high-quality, it all comes down to the connections of Rong Ge or the Sunglasses King.

This book is depressing from beginning to end, very depressing but not healing. At the beginning, the male protagonist is a zombie-like maintenance worker, repairing water pipes, toilets, etc. He is in a daze all day long, occasionally switching between silence and rage.

The male protagonist is an urban marginal person with no sense of existence. It was not until his brother died, leaving behind a young nephew who needed him to go back and act as a guardian, that the reason why the male protagonist was so depressed was gradually revealed.

He used to be a normal and happy person who was loved and tolerated by his father, brothers, wife and children. He was also very happy and had a group of good friends. However, due to his own negligence at a party, the house caught fire and his children died. He began to freeze himself and refused to contact the world, which was tantamount to self-destruction and waiting for death.

This film begins with the protagonist returning to Tsuen Wan to meet his nephew, and then enters the chapter of love and redemption. However, compared with most movies that emerge from the shadows and embrace the world again, it still tells the story of sadness returning to the starting point.

The main point is a truth: some regrets in life, once they occur, can never be recovered, compensated for or replaced.

It was the summer of 2001. If -year-old Zhang Guorong was willing to turn the script into a movie, he would have no shortage of money or connections, and his acting skills would be no problem.

Li Wenyu is a reborn party, and he has other cheats. There are many ways to get the first pot of gold, but after all, he is a supporting role in the literature department of Beijing Film Academy in two lifetimes. Send some scripts to some people who are not pitted and try...

At least on July 7, he really received a positive feedback, 2 Hong Kong dollars!
15 yuan? For example, opening an internet cafe would be like printing money. Or buying a house? Right now, housing prices in Beijing are only a few thousand yuan per square meter. They won't rise until the massive infrastructure construction for the Olympics begins, so there are still several years to choose from.

There are still opportunities to pick up stocks even in the real estate winter after the Olympics.

However, Li Wenyu remembered that a more convenient operation mode was to buy stocks. The world was now in the period of the Internet bubble. Lao Ding from the pig farm listed NetEase, and the stock price fell from US$15.5 per share to US$0.5 per share.

Old Ding was so irritated that he almost vomited hundreds of mouthfuls of blood.

到了2004年三年后，网易一股就超过70美刀了，140倍，今年入手网易股票15万、2004年就是2100万港币。2004年大企鹅港岛上市，一股3.7港币……

Li Wenyu lit a Red Plum and happily ran to make a phone call. In the letter, Zhang Guorong asked him if he had any thoughts on joining the crew and observing the filming. Of course he had.

The Beijing Film Academy's Directing Department of 99 is not recruiting any students. Among these students who are about to enter their junior year, the most famous one in the future is Ning Hao from the Photography Department, followed by three others from the Literature Department.

He has a roommate, Lao Wang, whose future achievements are unknown, but he is doing much better than Li Wenyu.

Li Wenyu went back downstairs and gave three bags of red plums to Lao Liu, the dormitory supervisor, to express his gratitude. After exchanging pleasantries, he left the building. A young man with a slightly round face approached with a smile, "Lao Li, when are you going back to your hometown during the summer vacation? Or are you still hanging around in Beijing looking for opportunities?"

Let’s talk about Lao Wang. He is one of the ordinary screenwriters in the future, but he can run around with some crews and make a living. He belongs to the middle level.

Li Wenyu smiled and said, "I'll make a phone call first, we'll talk later."

Lao Wang also nodded, "Okay, if you've made up your mind, let's go back to our hometown together."

After chatting for a few minutes, he went to make a phone call. During the summer vacation, many people stayed on campus and lived in the dormitory, and many of them were running groups.

…………

It's about ten o'clock in the morning.

Walking around the Beijing Film Academy campus, Li Wenyu sighed again. As expected, he was the reputable Arong. The phone number in the letter was his own. When it came to joining the group for observation, Zhang Guorong would cover his airfare, accommodation, and food...

All-inclusive package.

There is no big deal in buying and selling scripts. I will first give you 15% or % of the total price of . If you make changes with the crew during the filming, or after the filming and the release, you may not be able to get the final payment. In short, I will transfer the money to you based on your account number.

Do you want Hong Kong dollars or RMB?

Zhang Guorong also asked whether this was a specific award-winning film. He felt that a script with a completion rate of more than 90% was very high-quality. After it was filmed, it would be a good shot at the Europa League, Cannes, Berlin or Venice. Zhang Guorong himself was a member of the jury of the Berlin International Film Festival in 1998.

Last year, Gong Li was the president of the jury at the Berlin International Film Festival!
Whether they can win the award depends on how they operate.

Li Wenyu did not deny that he was planning to fly to Hong Kong Island once during the summer vacation to join the crew for learning for the first time. Once the project of "Tsuen Wan by the Sea" is launched, not to mention the box office, if he wins the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Screenplay or the Best Screenplay of the Three European Film Awards.

In the future, when he submits a script, the chances of it being impersonated or plagiarized by others and then pirated and published first will be greatly reduced.
