Chapter 74 The king of the daughter country is greedy (please vote)
Uh...
On the contrary, when Feng Jiayou from Tiangang yelled like this, the whole family's attention fell on Cheng Xuemin, the 'home' son-in-law.
Two thousand yuan!
Just as Feng Jiayou thought, if Cheng Xuemin adapted "The Wrangler" into a movie and wrote the script, he could get 2,000 yuan in adaptation fees.
The woman asked Cheng Xuemin if it could be done? How can Cheng Xuemin choose?
Definitely, two thousand yuan is definitely very feasible.
Depend on!
I worked hard for more than a month and wrote a manuscript of more than 300,000 words, but I didn’t get a royalties of 2,000 yuan.
You can get 2,000 yuan in royalties by adapting a novel called "Wrangler"! Co-writing a script is more fucking profitable than writing a manuscript?
In an instant, Cheng Xuemin became excited. There really weren't too many classic scripts in his mind.
Needless to say, the script "The Wrangler" was adapted from the novel "Soul and Flesh", and the following movies like "Female College Dormitory", "Loess Plateau" and "Director Qiao's Taking Up the Job"...
Cheng Xuemin had these scripts very clearly in his mind and could write them casually.
And it’s not just movie scripts, there are also TV series scripts, TV drama scripts, all of them!
"Xuemin, can you also write a movie script?!"
When Feng Jiayou yelled like this, the person whose face turned red the most was his uncle Feng Jiazhao, who turned his head and looked at Cheng Xuemin and asked.
If brother-in-law Cheng Xuemin can write this script himself, then...it won't be easy to snatch him up as the uncle, right?
"Xuemin, don't be embarrassed. If you can write this script yourself, you are the original author and you should do it!"
"If you let me write it, according to the regulations of our studio, if an in-service screenwriter adapts your original novel, he or she can get a bonus of more than a hundred points at most. I don't have the adaptation fee!"
"So, how about you come on your own, Xuemin!? I can guide you from the side!"
The blushing face of my little money-loving girl is so exciting that Feng Jiazhao, the elder brother, really shouldn’t be too clear about it, he just said it well!
When Feng Jiayou heard that the script adaptation fee was as high as 2,000 yuan, he immediately exploded!
But you also have to think about it, your man is indeed a good penman when writing manuscripts and articles, but for very professional manuscripts like scripts, your man may not be good at it.
Of course, Feng Jiazhao also said it!
In fact, I suggested that Cheng Xuemin write it himself, and he would guide it. Their studio’s 2,000-yuan salary would not be wasted, so if he were to adapt and write the script, he would receive a top-notch bonus of 200 yuan.
Two hundred yuan bonus VS two thousand yuan in adaptation fee, how to choose?
No choice!
"Brother... let me give it a try first?! I'll write it out later. Can you help guide me?"
My uncle is so humble, why can't Cheng Xuemin borrow the donkey from Poxia?
The adaptation fee is two thousand yuan!
With his current hand speed, he can finish the manuscript in a day or two, which is really not too satisfying.
Once the script fee of 2,000 yuan is obtained, plus the small treasury in Feng Jiayou's hands now, which is 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, we can start looking for a house!
If you think about it this way!
He had planned with the Feng family to bring his parents over for the Chinese New Year this winter vacation. However, considering that the Feng family was already nervous about accommodation, they thought of arranging for his parents to live in their current house. .
The two of them stayed at a nearby guest house for a few days.
But now it seems that maybe he can buy a house by himself before the year, not to mention moving out, and then his parents will come to live in his own home, so it won't be too awkward and embarrassing.
"That's fine, that's fine! You can write the script yourself, Xie Jin, of course! After Xie Jin comes back, the three of us will discuss it together and assemble the cast as soon as possible!"
Although Feng Jiazhao was not involved in writing the script, there are many things involved in making a movie, and it is not just the screenwriter and director who can do it!
My eldest uncle Feng Jiazhao has been working hard in the studio for some years. In addition to being a professional in scripts, he is basically a jack of all trades. He can help a lot if he can get started.
Furthermore, Cheng Xuemin's "Wrangler" was originally directed by Beijing Film Studio!
So it’s pretty much the same, the three giants of the “Wrangler” crew have basically decided like this!
The director is Xie Jin, who was seconded from Shanghai Film Studio.
Needless to say, as a screenwriter, if Cheng Xuemin, the author of the original work, can do it, then he can do it himself; if not, he can do it if his brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao gives guidance and training;
As a producer, it must be his brother-in-law Feng Jiazhao Mo. Well, even if Yan Film Studio has other candidates, as long as Cheng Xuemin, the brother-in-law's original author, fights for it, he can definitely appoint his uncle Feng Jiazhao to be in charge.
"Then boss, go back and get Xuemin a few more manuscripts of the script for his reference!"
Mother Feng also nodded and spoke!
She had just thought that letting her eldest son adapt it would improve his seniority in Yanying Studio.
But the debt collector was jealous of the money. When he heard that there was a fee of two thousand yuan for the adaptation, he suggested on the spot that her man should write the script!
Okay, the debt collector really thinks highly of her men. She can write about this and that. Is she omnipotent?
Then let her men try it.
Moreover, Cheng Xuemin, the son-in-law, also wants to give it a try, so let him give it a try. The wealth and wealth will not go to outsiders, but will flow within her old Feng family.
"Xuemin, don't be too reluctant. The most important thing now is to revise the manuscript assigned by the leader as soon as possible and send it to the leader for review!"
Feng's mother once again told her son-in-law Cheng Xuemin that she must not force herself to spend a lot of energy on writing because of the two thousand yuan adaptation fee. Instead, she delayed the political tasks assigned by the leaders because of small mistakes!
"Your mother is right. Xuemin, your first priority now is to revise the manuscript as soon as possible. I guess it won't be long before it will be used!"
Father Feng also nodded, reminding Cheng Xuemin.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I know the priorities. I will revise the manuscript and submit it as soon as possible!"
Of course Cheng Xuemin knew that "Director Qiao's Assumption of Administration" must be his top priority. However, how to change it has been discussed today, and Cheng Xuemin also has an idea in mind. In fact, it won't take long, at most, it can be changed in a day or two.
Similarly, the other novella has almost come to an end, and the final draft can be handed over to Zhang Dening of Yenching Literature.
Finally, there is the "Wrangler" script proposed by my uncle. It also won't be used for long. Is it okay to pay homage and copy it?
But now Cheng Xuemin estimates that the money to buy a house may not be much different, and he plans to be more restrained in the near future.
In fact, what he has produced in the past month should not be too scary.
People like Feng Jiayou's classmates Zha Jianying and Huang Beijia are all new authors. How many months does it take to write a manuscript?
Normally speaking, publishing a manuscript every three months is already very, very impressive!
What about Cheng Xuemin, a new author?
Yanjing Literature has already received royalties for two short stories, and the novella in hand is almost finished, so I will hand it over;
There is also a manuscript in Shanghai Literature and Art that will be published this month, and the sample manuscript fee has been sent over.
There is a manuscript from "Harvest" in Shanghai. Although there is no reply yet, it is almost certain that it will not pass the manuscript.
After all, Cheng Xuemin's recent tributes are almost all national award-winning masterpieces of the year, and the worst ones are all second prizes.
Yanhe Literature in my hometown also has a piece called "High Loess Slope", plus "The Taking of the Job of Director Qiao" which has been promoted to a leadership role!
These are all contributions Cheng Xuemin made one after another in the past month since he came to Beijing. Thinking about it, the output really shouldn’t be too high or too intensive.
If Feng Jiayou had seen through it, Cheng Xuemin wouldn't be able to explain why his speed of hands and brain was so terrifying.
After Cheng Xuemin said this, Feng's father and Feng's mother also nodded, but there was no more explanation.
"Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng, are you eating?"
Suddenly, a figure broke in from outside the yard. He came in with a somewhat anxious expression and greeted Feng's father and Feng's mother.
"Huh? Linzi, why are you here!?" Mother Feng looked up and found that it was Zhu Lin from Lao Zhu's family standing at the door. She couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and quickly greeted, "Linzi, have you eaten? Come on, come on, no. If you want to eat, come over and sit down, and I’ll fill up your chopsticks with the rice!”
"Linzi, are you back!?" Father Feng also nodded and greeted her, asking about the fact that she had just returned from the Yunnan branch.
A few days ago, I heard someone from his family mention that Zhu Lin, the eldest daughter of the old Zhu family, returned to the city from Yunnan and was busy organizing work issues for her.
"Auntie, I, I, I... I have eaten, I have eaten!" Zhu Lin looked at the large table of big fish and meat. She was stunned for the first time. She swallowed her saliva and forgot. Why did she come to Lao Feng's house in such a hurry?
"Sister Linzi, come over and have a bite. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Come over and sit and let's chat!"
Seeing Zhu Lin's face light up, Feng Jiayou also stood up and pulled Zhu Lin to her seat, "Xuemin, step inside! This is Sister Linzi from Uncle Zhu's family!"
"By the way, Sister Linzi, this is my lover Cheng Xuemin, whom we met together in northern Shaanxi!"
It's rare to meet another sister who has been playing with her since childhood. The Feng family can't wait to introduce her man to all the sisters!
Let them see, this is the man she deceived from northern Shaanxi from the Feng family, the author of Wrangler, Lao Xu, the author of the soon-to-be sensational "The Assumption of Factory Director Qiao".
"No, no, no..." Zhu Lin still wanted to be reserved and evasive, but she couldn't bear the hardships she had endured in Yunnan over the years.
Especially the table full of... and the Yanjing Roast Duck. How many years had she not smelled its aroma and how many years had she been craving it! ?
Even though I have just returned to the city, I have never tasted one piece. It is too expensive and I can’t afford it.
But what Zhu Lin didn’t expect was!
They are also from the Feng family who have just returned to the city. Why is there such a big gap between this table and theirs?
Anyway, Zhu Lin returned to the city, and on the night she first arrived, her mother secretly chopped up half a catty of meat, which was regarded as a blessing for her daughter!
The days that followed were no different from those in Yunnan. I almost never saw any meat or fish at all!
"Jiaxiao, is this your lover?!"
But after hearing Feng Jiayou's introduction, the strange man sitting next to her turned out to be her lover, which inevitably made Zhu Lin stunned!
It was rumored that Feng Jiayou, the eldest daughter of the old Feng family, had married herself during those years in northern Shaanxi. When Zhu Lin returned to the city from Yunnan, almost every familiar neighbor would mention this to her.
She also asked Zhu Lin in a roundabout way if she had ever done anything in the Yunnan branch! ?
At that time, Zhu Lin was really stunned when she heard that a young lady of the Feng family, who was so introverted, outstanding and proud, would marry herself off to a local farmer in an educated youth center?
Don't believe it!
Because we have played together since childhood, we all know what kind of temper the Feng family has, so I would not believe it if I beat Zhu Lin to death!
But then more and more people began to tell her about this, and she really began to doubt it, thinking it couldn't be true, right?
So tonight, by some strange combination of circumstances, we found the Feng family as soon as possible. We also took a look at the Feng family, a sister we hadn't seen for many years, and then the legendary northern Shaanxi man.
Unbelievable, it’s true!
Now Feng Jiayou is even more worried about not being too proud, and takes the initiative to introduce to herself that this is her lover, whom she met together in northern Shaanxi!
"Hello, hello, sit here, sit here, move in at the end of the house!"
Cheng Xuemin also looked back and found that it was Zhu Lin, the king of the daughter country, who was a neighbor of the Feng family and had played together since childhood.
But he soon felt relieved. After all, when he traveled to this era, he came to Yanjing. Sooner or later, he will integrate into the Beijing circle, and he will definitely meet more celebrities in the future.
Not to mention anything else, today Cheng Xuemin even met Su Laomao, a leading figure in the literary world. This was a celebrity he could only read about in books in his previous life.
So that’s it for a king of a daughter’s kingdom!
But it is inevitable to secretly compare yourself with your own woman, who must be beautiful, young and fun.
