Chapter 7 Qian Yanqiu
Chen Linfeng made an uneasy request, "Dad, can you help me ask screenwriter Qian, I want to learn how to write scripts from him."
"Why do you want to learn everything?" Chen Shantong had a headache. He was not familiar with the person yet, but he did not refuse after all. "Okay, I will find a chance to ask later, but don't have high expectations. ”
Sure enough, it is always difficult to refuse parents’ requests for their children’s advancement.
This month Chen Linfeng submitted two more short stories, which were successfully approved.
An original story written by myself using my own imagination.
The other inspiration comes from a recent news that is not big or small - a female student from the county's second high school was admitted to Yenching University.
The second high school is not a good school. I heard that this student was a typical poor student in the first semester of high school.
At the beginning of the second semester of her freshman year of high school, she suddenly became serious and hardworking due to some unknown stimulus. Finally, in this year's college entrance examination, she was admitted to a top prestigious school like Shuimu North.
This was so similar to the plot of a movie that Chen Linfeng had watched in his previous life. He suddenly became interested and slightly adapted the movie and wrote it into a short story.
He has written more than 20,000 words for this novel, which is actually almost the length of a novella.
Chen Linfeng thought for a while and finally submitted for the novel selection.
The manuscript was successfully submitted.
The editor did not mention the issue of writing this time, which proves that Chen Linfeng has made progress with continuous practice.
Father Chen stayed at home for half a month.
On July 14, Cao Rong finally decided to make a sequel to Journey to the West. I heard that in addition to Chen Shantong, an investor was found.
He contacted Qian Yanqiu and started working on the script.
Chen's father made a special trip to Yanjing to discuss with screenwriter Qian about his son learning screenwriting.
On the one hand, Qian Yanqiu couldn't save face, and on the other hand, he heard from Chen's father that his child could contribute to a famous magazine.
He found those two issues of novel selections, read Chen Linfeng's article, and felt that it was indeed a promising idea, so he finally agreed.
When Chen Linfeng heard the good news about his father on the phone, he was overjoyed and called his father awesome.
It was just an attempt, but it actually works.
A few days later, Chen Shantong came back to pick up his son and go to Yanjing.
On the green train, the father and son finally squeezed in and found their seats.
You can’t buy a sleeper berth ticket, so it’s not easy to get a seat.
Opposite Chen Linfeng was an uncle who was very talkative. After a while, he was chatting with Chen's father about everything from cosmic astronomy to family and country affairs.
Chen Linfeng took out a book from his bag and read it.
The uncle got off the bus at the next stop. Father Chen didn’t have any opponents to chat with him. He smacked his lips and said, “I’m not having fun.”
He saw his son reading a book with great interest, so he went over to take a look and found that the book was full of neon text.
“What are you looking at? Why are they all written in the name of Xiaozhi?”
"The Spider Man of Edogawa Rampan, this is a novel about a highly intelligent criminal and a detective fighting each other. It's quite interesting."
The eldest sister opposite Chen's father curled her lips, only thinking that this son was better than him Dad can still play and write neon writing. Even at an older age, he dares to say that he understands neon writing.
Father Chen knew his son's memory, so it was no surprise that he could learn it.
“When did you learn neon writing again?”
“Just a few days ago, you and my brother went to Shenzhen. I tried to learn it and it felt good. It’s easy”
The eldest sister opposite heard the father and son talking more and more outrageously, and said that the neon article was quite simple, why don't you go to heaven.
She couldn't see such a bragging person and turned her head away in disgust.
Father Chen is speechless. His son is too smart. Is the grass on his ancestral grave growing a little crooked? Although it's crooked it's pretty good.
So I stopped disturbing my son’s reading.
At noon, Chen Linfeng followed his father to the front of the carriage to get hot water for instant noodles and put the book on the table.
The eldest sister opposite picked up the book and flipped through it, and said in surprise, "It's really neon writing." When the father and son came back, the eldest sister opposite kept looking at Chen Linfeng.
Chen Linfeng was a little confused and looked at her with his head tilted.
The eldest sister turned her head away in embarrassment and stopped looking at the strange things.
Qian Yanqiu's home in Yanjing is a regular small house with three bedrooms and one living room. It must have been bought some time ago.
Although screenwriter Qian became famous as a director in later generations, he was actually an actor by training.
The first TV series in my life was co-starring with the famous "Li Yuanfang" and "Yan Shuangying" in later generations.
No wonder Qian Yanqiu always dragged Zhang Zijian with him later on. They were classmates and had been friends for many years.
Chen's father and screenwriter Qian said words of thanks, while Chen Linfeng stood by and acted like a good boy.
The adults' polite remarks are over.
Qian Yanqiu looked Chen Linfeng up and down, "I heard from your dad that a novel you wrote was published in a novel selection. I read it and it was pretty good. Have you written any articles recently?"
Chen Linfeng Just as he was about to answer, Chen's father said first, "Yes, yes, I brought it."
As he said that, he took out a Youth Digest from his bag.
I opened it and found an article written by Chen Linfeng - My Dialogue with Antiques.
Still from a student’s perspective.
The protagonist accidentally discovered that he could communicate with cultural relics, so he ran to the museum and started discussions with various antiques.
The full text as a whole tells historical events from the perspective of cultural relics.
The most lengthy one is the dialogue with a cultural relic from the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty - the Chenglu Pan.
Chenglupan tells its magnificent life.
Starting from the era of the Han and Wu Dynasties when it was born.
It tells about the fierce Han Dynasty that it experienced, and about the top heroes it has seen - Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, Sang Hongyang and Dong Zhongshu.
That was an era of intense excitement that I will never forget.
Similar to this is the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which saw countless barbarians come to Chang'an and admire the most splendid city in the world. Such prosperity made them unable to stop.
Qian Yanqiu raised his eyebrows. Such stories are not common in this era and are very fresh.
But prosperity is fleeting. After experiencing highs, it becomes even more unbearable to endure the lows.
It has experienced the tragedy of the Han people during the two Jin Dynasties, and has also witnessed the collapse of the country after the two Song Dynasties.
Despite the brief glory of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty, the times eventually fell downward. The isolation and ignorance of the Qing Dynasty and the humiliation of modern times are all narrated in it.
Until Xinhua!
Qian Yanqiu looked at the last paragraph of Chenglupan’s conversation,
“Now seems to be the time to gain momentum again. The era when the whole world is shouting “wind, strong wind” has returned. It will appear before my eyes in a trance, how I wish to see such an era again.”
The ending is an open ending. Cheng Lupan hopes that the protagonist will come to the museum again when China reaches its peak again and tell it the news.
Whether the protagonist went there in the future is not mentioned in the article.
Qian Yanqiu praised after reading it, "It is well written and can arouse emotions. Considering your age, you can say that you have a bright future."
"Why do you want to learn to write scripts? What?" He rarely sees such a young child interested in writing scripts.
After all, writing a script is not like a novel. You can use psychological description or directly use the author's narration. A script can only show the character's personality through dialogue, which is not easy for novices.
"I have many stories in my mind. I want to write them down, film them, or even perform them if possible."
Qian Yanqiu glanced at him in surprise, "You are greedy enough, and you are greedy enough. Be confident. Okay, just stay here for a while. How much you can learn depends on your ability."
Chen Shan Tong saw screenwriter Qian teach his son as promised and thanked him profusely for being so obedient. He jumped out like he didn't need any money.
Chen's father sent his son there, and the rest couldn't help. He explained a few words and left quickly.
He will follow the whole process of preparations for the sequel to Journey to the West, including attracting investment and building a team, and learn the ropes.
