Ye Shuning learned a lot from Qin Zongye's introduction. She said, "Do you have any useless scripts? I'd like to study them, just to familiarize myself with the general format."

Qin Zongye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Do you want to learn how to write scripts?"

Ye Shuning nodded and said, "To be honest, I have a few interesting stories that I'd like to try to write into scripts."

Qin Zongye was very interested when he heard it. "That must be a very interesting story. If you really want to learn how to write scripts, I can ask the screenwriters employed by our company to teach you."

Ye Shuning certainly wouldn't refuse Qin Zongye's help. Having someone to lead the way would save her a lot of time. "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

After Qin Zongye left, Ye Shuning recalled the high-grossing films from her past life in Nangang. She even went to the research institute and took out a colleague's portable hard drive, which had many movies downloaded. Ye Shuning then turned on her computer and began searching for classic films of this era.

Lately, Ye Shuning has been keeping an eye on the movie stars in Nangang. Some she's never heard of, while others share the same name but are different people. In any case, none of them are the ones she knew in her past life. This means that the cultural and entertainment celebrities in this world are very different from those in her past life, so she doesn't have to worry about changing anyone's fate.

Martial arts action movies are quite popular in Nangang now, also because there are few new themes. This type of theme is quite popular, so everyone is flocking to make martial arts action movies.

There are actually a lot of material for movies. Ye Shuning believes that as long as the story is good and the martial arts are exciting, there will be no one watching it. After all, people's entertainment life today is not as rich as it will be in later generations.

Thinking of the martial arts films she had watched, Ye Shuning felt that she could help design some martial arts moves.

She watched a few similar movies and the story in her mind began to take shape. Writing a film story isn't as complex as a novel, and the pace of the film itself is relatively fast, so Ye Shuning finished it in a few days. Then she would write a script based on this story.

This is a martial arts story that describes how a major martial arts sect in ancient times was secretly wiped out because it was involved in a court dispute. The sect leader's disciple who luckily survived hid his identity and searched for the real culprit behind the incident to seek revenge.

The story actually seems very cliché to Ye Shuning, but now it is the 1970s, and her story is still very novel for Nangang in that era. As long as the story is tortuous and bizarre, the ending is gratifying, and the pictures are more exciting, it will definitely be popular with the audience.

Qin Zongye acted quickly. A few days later, he called Ye Shuning and asked her to go to his film company. He introduced a screenwriter to her.

Ye Shuning arrived at Qin Zongye's film company on time as agreed.

Qin Zongye's film company is not very large, but not small either. It has five studios, each of which can accommodate several sets.

Most films of this era were shot in studios, and later films certainly also had many shots shot in studios. However, as audiences' tastes became more sophisticated and their visual requirements for films became higher and higher, they preferred films shot on location in the wild. This gave people a more realistic and exciting feeling, and allowed the audience to be more involved.

After Qin Zongye's introduction that day, Ye Shuning also learned that the investment in movies in Nangang at that time was relatively small, usually only a few hundred thousand, which was nothing compared to the huge investment of hundreds of millions in later generations.

Qin Zongye came early today to wait for the girl. When he saw her coming, he took her to an office and introduced her to a screenwriter named Liu. He asked him to teach the girl how to write a script.

Ye Shuning had always used the name Shu Ning. Ling Xuan was probably the only one in Nangang who knew her real name. She did this for her own safety, fearing that the people who had captured her and Li Jingyu would come looking for them.

Ye Shuning spent a week learning how to write scripts. She read many formal scripts and understood the specific format of the script. For example, the script title, time, place, and characters are listed at the beginning of the script, such as the characters' dialogues. The middle of the script uses brackets to indicate the situation at the time, and brackets to indicate the characters' actions and expressions at the time.

The purpose of a script is to use words to express a series of images. You need to conceive the direction of your story, the relationship between characters, the climax of the plot, the theme, etc.

Ye Shuning read a lot of scripts and asked screenwriter Liu for advice on things she didn't understand. Screenwriter Liu didn't keep any of it to himself, and taught her many tricks for writing scripts. After all, this was arranged by the boss himself, so he didn't dare keep it to himself.

Because of her spiritual power, Ye Shuning's brain was much more developed than others, and her memory was even stronger. Ye Shuning also discovered this. However, she felt that she was also a person with special abilities. Her physical fitness had also improved, so it was understandable that her mind had become better. She was overjoyed.

She now remembers things much faster than before, and can almost remember everything she sees. She is secretly happy about this and cannot share this good news with others.

During this time, someone from Qin Zongye's film company happened to be renting their space and equipment to shoot a movie, and Ye Shuning thought this was a good opportunity. She would go watch the filming, watching the director directing the crew to adjust the lighting, camera positions, and set, and observing how he handled any problems encountered during the filming.

She really learned a lot.

However, this is only the shooting stage. Ye Shuning heard Qin Zongye say that a lot of preparations need to be done before the filming begins, such as script writing, casting, location selection, set design, equipment preparation, personnel scheduling, etc. After the shooting, there is editing and post-recording, and more importantly, the distribution of the film.

After a film is finished, it needs to be screened in theaters to earn revenue from the audience. Nangang's theater chains are mostly controlled by a few large companies, which is one reason why their films have high box office performance.

In her past life, she had heard of several famous female directors. Perhaps she could fulfill her dream of becoming a director. But the prerequisite was that she had to learn how to make a movie.

Ye Shuning had already formed a vague idea in her mind: maybe she could use filming to accumulate startup capital. This is the fastest way.

So Ye Shuning studied more seriously, and even took out a notebook to write down the things she didn't understand, and then asked someone to explain them to her.

Qin Zongye's film company is called Wanhua Film Company. Because Ye Shuning was brought here by the boss himself, the employees of the film company were very polite to Ye Shuning, and everyone tried their best to answer any questions Ye Shuning asked.

Ye Shuning was also humble and polite, and would buy some candies, snacks, etc. for everyone from time to time as a thank you.
