Chapter 38
Miaomiao stood at the gate of Wanxiang Interactive and looked at the notification text message on her mobile phone over and over again to make sure that she had not got the time wrong. Then she took a deep breath again and pushed the door open.
The lady at the front desk was very nice. When she heard that she was here for an interview, she let her go directly to the sixth floor after a simple registration.
Once again, it was beyond Miaomiao's expectations. This time, the corridor was empty. Except for a few company employees who hurriedly passed by with name badges, she still did not meet any other interviewees.
She stood at the door, rubbed the soles of her shoes nervously, and then knocked on the door carefully.
A familiar and lazy voice came from inside the door. I pushed open the door and saw that it was the lazy young female interviewer I met that day.
Miaomiao stuttered a little: "Hello, I am the applicant who came for the interview. May I ask..."
She carefully looked around the office again. It was quiet and spacious, but looked very luxurious and comfortable. Most importantly, there was only one female interviewer in the room. No one else was there.
So, did I come too early?
The embarrassment and nervousness swept over her again, and she didn't know how to start talking for a moment.
The female interviewer showed a gentle smile and looked at Miaomiao curiously for a while: "Yes, this is the place. Please take a seat first."
Miaomiao thanked him in a low voice and carefully sat down on the edge of the sofa, fearing that she would leave a bad impression on the other party.
The female interviewer smiled and asked Miaomiao if she wanted tea or coffee, and then said, "Don't be so nervous, let's just chat casually."
"Just tea, I'll make it myself." Although she had learned a lot of office matters that newcomers should pay attention to from the Internet, she was still a little rash and at a loss when she really encountered a specific situation.
Xue Mi seemed to see herself back then and couldn't help but laugh.
"The position you applied for before has been filled. We have discussed this on the phone before. If the salary and conditions are similar, you would be willing to change jobs, right?" Xue Mi asked.
Miaomiao nodded vigorously immediately, indicating that she would cooperate with the company's needs. However, after nodding, she couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me...what position do you want to be transferred to?"
Xue Mi smiled: "What if I change to another company? Are you interested?"
Miaomiao:……?
Is this the HR department poaching employees from another company within their own company? No, she doesn't seem to be a great talent, so there's no need to do this, right?
Although she really wanted to find a job as soon as possible, she also had doubts at this time and did not dare to respond casually.
Xue Mi also noticed the other party's vigilance and explained, "In fact, I also have an entertainment company under my name. I am currently recruiting screenwriters. I read your resume and feel that you are quite suitable. I wonder if you are interested."
Miaomiao: Ah? !
She still couldn't figure it out. She was clearly looking for a job in a high-tech company, but how did she suddenly end up in the entertainment industry? She still didn't know how to respond.
"The treatment is better than here. When there is no drama on weekdays, you work four days and rest three days, and have two days off on weekends. You can adjust the day off in between by yourself. The basic monthly salary is 4,500. The company has dormitories, which include lunch and dinner. If you don't want to live in the dormitory, you can also apply for housing subsidies. By the way, if the script is adopted, there will be extra bonuses. If you follow the crew, your work and rest schedule will be based on the crew's arrangements. But after the filming is over, you will be able to adjust your leave, or apply for overtime allowances." Xue Mi briefly introduced the treatment of the new job.
Although she was optimistic about this girl named Miaomiao, she didn't actually give her any particularly generous treatment. The very Buddhist company under her name, called Xifeng Culture Media, gave this treatment to ordinary employees.
The salary is indeed not high, but food and accommodation are included. The work pressure in the entertainment industry is high, but the tasks also come in waves. When there is no urgent work, you can work four days and rest three days. After completing the work, you can apply for compensatory time off or use part of it for vacation and part of it as overtime pay.
When Xue Mi first learned about the treatment in this company, she couldn't help but be shocked - this was exactly the company of her dreams when she was a social animal!
It is no wonder that this small company, which is in the entertainment industry with a very fast turnover of personnel and whose salary and benefits are not particularly impressive, can still retain a number of old employees. Its main feature is its leisure and humanity.
Miaomiao, who had been prepared to work six days a week and have one day off, and work from 5 am to 9 pm when looking for a job, was completely shocked at this time.
What a magical job this is! Does such a company really exist? ?
Most importantly, he's not a liar, right?
Seeing Miao Miao's increasingly vigilant eyes, Xue Mi wanted to laugh even more and said the full name of the company: "Don't worry, it's a formal company. You can check it out online. If you are sure you are interested, you will need to go there for a final interview. The HR staff there will discuss the specific salary and work content with you in detail. The employment contract will definitely follow the formal process."
Although I really think it's very fantasy, but what a screenwriter!
I heard that this job is very tiring, the salary is not high, and the status in the industry is low, but, but, this is indeed the job she wants to do the most!
When Miaomiao was looking for a job before, she specifically inquired about opportunities in this area. Unfortunately, not many people knew about this industry, and there were quite a few scammers. So she gave up the idea and went to look for a more realistic job.
Faced with the opportunity presented to her, she did hesitate.
"How about it? Do you want to give it a try?" the interviewer opposite her asked her with a smile.
I do, of course I do.
After returning to the dormitory, Miaomiao repeatedly searched the Internet for information about the company called Xifeng Culture Media.
All the business information displayed was normal, including the company address and telephone number. The place the other party recommended her to go for an interview was indeed the address registered online.
It seems like there really isn't any problem.
"Just give it a try. You've always been interested in this field," her roommate encouraged her. "I found out for you that Wanxiang Interactive was originally a subsidiary of Kasu Technology. It was probably sold later. But anyway, the people in such a big company are unlikely to be scammers."
"That's not necessarily true," another roommate voted against it, "You said it's so hard to find a job now, but people let you become a screenwriter just because you're in the literature department. I don't think there's such a good thing."
"Then why do you think they want Miaomiao? Are they just teasing her for fun?"
"Oh, by the way, is the interviewer a man or a woman?" another roommate asked immediately.
"She's a pretty girl, she's dressed very elegantly, and she looks like a rich person." Miaomiao said honestly.
"That's it, why think so much, just go and try it first." The roommate made the final decision.
What happened next was like a dream.
She went to the interview location according to the address and found that it was indeed a legitimate media company. As soon as she handed over the business card given to her by the female interviewer, the receptionist asked her to go directly upstairs for the interview.
The person who interviewed her this time was a middle-aged woman who looked much more serious. She wore thin-framed glasses and walked briskly. She carefully took the business card in her hand and examined it:
"Show me what works you have published."
Miaomiao shook her head timidly and said that she had never been involved in this field before.
The middle-aged woman was startled, and then she looked at her carefully before she opened the resume that Miaomiao had just handed over. "I'm from the Chinese Department. What kind of screenwriter are you applying for?"
Miaomiao actually didn’t quite understand and was still a little confused.
"There are two types of screenwriters who work with our company. One type signs an economic contract and works with the team on projects. The other type..." She glanced at Miaomiao again, "Rather than being a screenwriter, it's more appropriate to call it a planning position, but it will also involve scriptwriting."
"I'm applying for the second type." Miaomiao immediately replied.
After all, the first one sounds like it has nothing to do with who I am now!
Moreover, as a recent college graduate, applying for a planning position sounds much more reliable.
So Miaomiao didn't feel disappointed, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The middle-aged woman nodded and repeated the salary package for this position. It was basically the same as what the previous interviewer had said, and there was even one more thing: the salary for this position was 13 months!
Seeing that Miaomiao had no doubts about the salary, the middle-aged woman nodded readily: "Okay, let's see when you have time to report, is next week ok?"
Miaomiao was stunned: "I...I passed the interview?"
The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Of course. Any other questions? Or you can postpone your report for a while. Just let me know."
The middle-aged woman looked serious, but surprisingly she was very easy to talk to.
"No, no, I can report in next week." Miaomiao answered immediately.
The middle-aged woman nodded. "Although our company is a small one, the benefits are quite good and the staff turnover is low. When you come to report, you can come to the HR department to find me first. I will then give you a detailed introduction to your job scope. Oh, by the way, do you need to apply for employee dormitories? If you do, you can choose a room today and take a look at the environment. You can move in directly when you report."
Miaomiao nodded as if she was sleepwalking, but still felt that all this was too unreal.
Even the staff dormitories seemed too good to be true.
The dormitory building is not far from the office building and is also owned by the company. It is said to be a shared room for three people, but it is actually a suite. Everyone has his or her own independent room and shares a living room, bathroom and toilet. It is also fully equipped with various household appliances. Each room has air conditioning, refrigerator, washing machine, and TV that can be shared. There is even a small kitchen where you can cook some simple meals.
If you are too lazy to cook, there is a buffet restaurant on the second floor of the office building. There is a meal allowance of 500 yuan per month, and the money will be directly deposited into the meal card. You can eat in the restaurant or buy things in the small supermarket next to it.
The company provides accommodation and wifi, but not water, electricity and gas. Except for the two-day weekend holidays, you need to report to the department manager in advance if you want to take a day off during the week. As long as not too many people are concentrated on one day, there is generally no problem.
This is truly a magical job!
The more Miaomiao listened, the brighter her eyes became.
Her starting salary was indeed not high, 4,500 a month, which was nothing in S City. However, the clerk position she had interviewed for before only paid 4,000, which was a little lower than this position.
Best of all, it includes room and board!
The housing prices in S City are not low. If you take into account the expenses of food, accommodation and transportation, the cost-effectiveness of this job is almost as good as those jobs with a monthly salary of 7,000 or 8,000 yuan. It also saves commuting time and allows you to sleep at least one or two more hours every day.
What's more, there are three days off every week!
The only thing that worries me is how much overtime there is here.
"Overtime? The company doesn't encourage overtime when there are no projects," said the middle-aged woman. "It will definitely be a bit busier when there are projects, but our company..."
She showed a slightly subtle expression: "In short, there won't be too many overtimes, unless you follow the team, but this is the work of the screenwriter, which is different from planning. I can't promise you anything."
If you have the opportunity to follow a team, why would you care about such a trivial matter as overtime!
Miaomiao's eyes lit up completely, and she said that she would be able to take up her post tomorrow!
The middle-aged woman was amused by her: "There's no need to be so anxious, let's do it next Monday. I'm busy on Monday morning. Come to me after 2 pm, and I'll take you to go through the onboarding process then."
The fantastic treatment of Miaomiao's new job has aroused the admiration and envy of many of her classmates. The only pity is that this company seems to rarely recruit people. When she sent her resume, she was told that there were no vacancies at the moment.
Miaomiao herself couldn't explain why she had deserved to be hit by this big pie.
At the same time, the general manager of Xifeng Media also carefully asked the boss what arrangements there were for this girl who was suddenly inserted, and whether a special project needed to be opened for her.
They are just a small company. They say they have projects, but they are only busy for two or three months a year at most. They are very idle at other times. In other words, it is particularly suitable for retirement.
The previous boss basically took a hands-off attitude towards the company since its profits were able to cover costs, and he rarely came to visit for several years.
When the new boss took office, he suddenly sent a new person in. The general manager also suspected that this was the new official's first move and was ready to add fuel to their nursing home.
Unexpectedly, Xue Mizhen just casually stuffed people into the company without giving it much thought.
"It's fine to treat her similarly to other people, but I think the girl is quite talented, so we could find someone with strong professional skills to guide her. As for projects, there's no need to start them specifically. Let's first see if she can produce work on her own," she said.
The general manager roughly understood it.
In the future that Xue Mi saw, Miaomiao was a genius, but unfortunately, she was a genius who had never been able to unleash her own brilliance.
Although she was very interested in writing scripts when she was in college, she gave up this hobby due to the pressure of reality, returned to her hometown, and found a very inconspicuous job with low income relying on her parents' connections.
Later, she followed the most common life trajectory: blind dates, love, marriage, and childbirth, living her own life smoothly.
Of course, if everything continued to go smoothly, Xue Mi would not be able to see her future.
Because of a not-so-serious traffic accident, Miaomiao, who was eight months pregnant at the time, suffered an impact on her abdomen, causing heavy bleeding. Both the pregnant woman and the child could not be saved.
Later, when sorting out his wife's belongings, Miaomiao's husband accidentally discovered a notebook left by his wife. In the notebook was an original script written by hand, with obvious signs of many revisions. Unfortunately, she never had the courage to send her script out during her lifetime.
It was unclear whether it was to ease the grief of losing his wife or for other reasons, but he compiled all of Miaomiao's handwritten scripts into electronic files and submitted them to a very influential national script competition, but his own name was signed on the scripts.
Unexpectedly, the original script of this newcomer unexpectedly received widespread acclaim, made it through numerous preliminary and semi-final rounds, and finally won the original screenplay award of that year. It was also spotted by a well-known director and made into a movie, which not only won several awards, but also had considerable box office success.
Thanks to his dead wife's script, the husband gained both fame and wealth. He soon got married and had children and lived a very happy life.
Even though he never wrote any work again, he was still considered by everyone to be a genius who had a flash of inspiration and then ran out of ideas.
Even so, he comfortably reaped the benefits of that genius script for decades until his death.
Miaomiao died early, but left no trace in this world that should have belonged to her.
Like a dead leaf, quietly rotting deep in the earth.
What would happen if the trajectory of her life was changed just a little?
After Xue Mi accidentally got a glimpse of the girl's life, she couldn't help but feel curious.
If she had not chosen to return to her hometown, but instead entered a business that interested her and utilized her strengths, would everything have been different?
She was not sure whether Miaomiao had written the script that shocked the industry at that time, nor was she sure whether it was just a chance flash of inspiration or the beginning of a genius.
However, since I already have an entertainment company, I won’t lose anything by giving it a try.
If you are lucky, you might even get a talented screenwriter - but this time, no one can take away the glory that belongs to the genius.
Xue Mi gave the girl a chance. As for what will happen next, it ultimately depends on how she chooses to proceed.
————
"Well, I found a job here successfully. The environment is very good, and the seniors in the company also take good care of me," Miaomiao happily talked to her mother in her hometown on the phone. "The work is not tiring. The dormitory is near the company, just a few steps away. Don't worry, it's very safe."
"There's no rush for a blind date. I want to focus on my career in the next two years. Well, a senior in the company said that there will be a competition soon. If I have a notebook, I can try to submit it. The company has a bonus of 1,000 yuan. If I can make it to the finals, the company will give me a project. Even if I don't make it, it doesn't matter. I can just treat it as training. Yes, I have really learned a lot here, and my boss is also very nice."
The girl's clear laughter echoed in the quiet dormitory.
After she hung up the phone, he pulled out a slightly yellowed notebook from the desk, took a deep breath, and opened it solemnly.
She had thought that she would not open this notebook for a long time, but she did not expect that she would have to take this story she had written for many years to participate in a competition so soon.
I used to feel scared and unconfident, fearing that what a newcomer like me wrote would be laughed at.
In fact, she didn’t think this script could achieve any success—but the problem was that the company would give bonuses to the contestants!
The leader said that in addition to the 1,000 yuan for successfully participating in the competition, if you can pass the preliminary round and enter the semi-finals, you can also get a prize of 2,000 yuan. If you are lucky enough to enter the finals, the company will even develop a project specifically for this script and discuss the possibility of film and television adaptation.
There is a hope that the story she wrote will become a movie shown on the big screen - Miaomiao never dreamed of such a good thing.
But never mind, let’s get the bonus for submission first!
Miaomiao reverently placed the notebook in front of the company-provided laptop and began to carefully organize it line by line.
Those dreams that she had carefully woven throughout her college years were picked up one by one by her, listed as countless jumping computer characters, and turned into a neatly formatted electronic script manuscript.
It took Miaomiao more than two months to organize these manuscripts and revise and polish them.
It took her another week to send out the manuscript as required.
Is there something that has not been written well? Is this plot too cumbersome? Are the characteristics of this character highlighted? There are many more minor details to worry about, which made her almost pull out a lot of hair from her head.
I have a headache and my heart aches.
She habitually opened the movie list stored in her computer and randomly picked a movie to watch.
Although Miaomiao is already familiar with the plots, structures, even every line and every tiny shot change of these movies, her heart can calm down just by looking at these masterpieces of light and shadow.
She couldn't remember how many times she had watched a familiar movie from beginning to end. She took a deep breath and felt that all the messy worries and uneasiness in her mind had disappeared in an instant.
After taking another look at the submission deadline, Miaomiao no longer hesitated and clicked "Send" neatly.
After sending the email, she immediately regretted it and even wanted to cancel it.
No, no! She shook her head fiercely and turned off the computer.
I can't hesitate any longer, otherwise, the 1,000 yuan will really be gone.
Anyway, she wouldn't know even if others didn't like her script because of the computer screen and Internet cable.
She is a complete newcomer, so it is normal for her to be eliminated. At worst, she can just try again next time.
Miaomiao prepared herself mentally over and over again, ordering herself not to think about those things anymore.
Instead of worrying about gains and losses, it is better to read the books recommended by predecessors several times.
The senior who is leading her now has several experiences of following the group and has even met many big stars. Every time he talks about these things, Miaomiao can't help but be fascinated.
She was satisfied with every aspect of the company she joined, except for the fact that there were too few projects launched.
Just like what the HR manager said before, in this company, you won’t be allowed to work overtime even if you want to.
Therefore, when there is a rare opportunity to work overtime, everyone rushes to do it, for fear that if they fall behind, they will have to slack off again this year. Life will be too empty.
In all likelihood, a newcomer like Miaomiao will not be able to compete with the old veterans.
"I really don't know when I will have the opportunity to join the team and see for myself!" Miaomiao sighed sadly again, "Oh, and about that interviewer, I haven't thanked her in person yet."
At this time, Xue Mi finally waited for Zhang Xuan to take annual leave, and called her cousin Xiao Tao who happened to be free, and the three of them went on vacation to the island together.
At this time, the hottest season has passed, but the temperature on the island is still very high, and the blue sea water is just the right temperature, suitable for going into the water.
Three girls wearing brightly colored swimsuits were lying on the beach of a five-star seaside resort hotel, each holding a glass of freshly squeezed juice, happily admiring the white sand, the blue sea and sky, and the groups of handsome men and beautiful women on the beach.
"Ah, this is life!" Zhang Xuan, exhausted by work, sighed deeply.
"I asked you to quit your job and come to help me, but you refused," Xue Mi said disdainfully, holding a straw in her mouth. "I'm really short of people here right now, and I guarantee that the benefits and vacations are much better than your company's."
Zhang Xuan shook her head in disdain: "Rich women like you don't understand what I'm pursuing. The director of our department is about to retire. Within three years, I must become the section chief! I'm sure I can do it!"
"Tsk, you're just a power-hungry person," Xue Mi looked at her with disdain, "What will happen after you become a section chief?"
"Of course, I will work hard to get promoted to deputy director." Zhang Xuan said as a matter of course.
This woman was like this when she was in college. She was always an active participant in student activities and later became the president of the student union. Even when playing online games, she was eager to upgrade and collect titles. At that time, the people in the dormitory laughed at her, saying that with this kind of personality, she was quite suitable for holding public office.
Unexpectedly, she successfully passed the civil service exam. Although the salary was not high, she was very motivated and worked like a clockwork, busy like a top.
Sometimes Xue Mi couldn't help but feel tired for her, but she was happy with it and even regarded this busyness as a kind of enjoyment.
She shook her head, not wanting to bother with her career-obsessed best friend, and asked Xiaotao how her work was going recently and whether it was going well.
"It's pretty good," Xue Xiaotao said with great joy, "I can learn a lot there. It's much better than my first job."
Xue Mi nodded: "Then you do your best, and when you are able to become a master, come and help me."
Xue Xiaotao was surprised: "Sister, you also have a logistics company?"
"Not really," Xue Mi shook her head, "but it's easy to buy one."
Xiao Tao was almost stunned by her sister's arrogance again. She laughed dryly and said, "That's not necessary. I think I'm fine the way I am now. I don't want to be a senior executive."
Although she thought the logistics business was interesting, she felt a headache when she thought about managing a large number of people.
"You are so useless," Xue Mi rolled her eyes at her sister. "By the way, I heard from my aunt that you are going to marry your boyfriend? Or that... Wei what?"
"Ma Wei, it's still the same one," Xue Xiaotao giggled, "I wanted to play around for a few more years, but he wants to get married, so I'll take him. Next month I'm going to go back to his hometown with him to meet his parents and relatives there."
Xue Xiaotao was a big and strong man, but he didn't take it seriously and spoke in a very relaxed manner.
Although the other two people next to them were unmarried, they had a lot to say about this: "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier! When you meet the parents for the first time, no matter what kind of person they are, you must be very aggressive, otherwise you will suffer a loss."
"That's right. Even though it's just the two of you getting married, it's actually a matter between two families. If it's not pleasant the first time, there will be trouble in the future." Zhang Xuan also chimed in.
"It's so troublesome, so we might as well not get married." Xue Xiaotao has the mentality of a child to begin with. If she wants to get married, she gets married. If she doesn't want to get married, she gets divorced. She is very noisy and does what she wants.
"You've already promised her, and your boyfriend has probably informed his family, so you have to go meet her eventually," Xue Mi smiled unhappily at her sister, "Just go meet her once first, and you'll probably know if it's a good fit."
She herself doesn't want to get married, but she is still very open to her sister's marriage.
If you want to get married, get married. If it’s not suitable, get divorced. Anyway, I have her to support me, and I won’t let this little girl suffer.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here to support you. If Ma Wei dares to treat you badly, I'll kill him!" Xue Mi said to her sister with a smile.
Xue Xiaotao rolled into her sister's arms happily: "Sister, I know you are the best to me. It's a pity that you are not a man, otherwise I would definitely kick that guy and marry you immediately."
"Even if I were a man, we are close relatives and cannot get married." Xue Mi put an end to her sister's delusion.
Zhang Xuan chuckled and leaned on Xue Mi's other shoulder: "I am still better. If you were a man, I would definitely marry you."
Xue Mi rolled her eyes: "Forget it, my aunt, if I were a man, I would be your buddy now."
Zhang Xuan has a lot of blind date experience. According to herself, she has dated a whole company of men, but unfortunately, none of them sparked a romantic relationship with her. Except for those who were really unbearable, she treated all the others as friends. Because of this, Aunt Chen complained to Xue Mi several times, saying that her daughter was like a straight, solid iron rod from the tip of her hair to her toes, and she didn't seem to be smart at all.
"Even if he is a buddy, he is definitely my best friend!" Zhang Xuan laughed.
The three girls basked in the sun on the beach for a while, and then splashed around in the sea. Unfortunately, none of them were good at swimming, and they didn't dare to go into the deep water. They just jumped and posed in the white waves, taking pictures of each other and laughing.
In the middle, they were approached by a few handsome young men. The three of them pretended to be foreigners, mumbling nonsense that they couldn't even understand, which scared those guys away. Then they burst into laughter again.
After getting tired from playing, they returned to the hotel and ordered a luxurious seafood dinner. The dinner was placed on a small table floating on the water. They could enjoy the meal happily while soaking in the private swimming pool in the room.
However, eating in water looks like a pleasure, but it always feels weird while eating.
After posing for a while and taking a few photos, the three of them finally climbed out of the water, sat back on the shore, and finally enjoyed the delicious food.
After a relaxing holiday, these three semi-landlubbers actually dared to make an appointment to go diving the next day.
Although they had hired the best coaching team here, and they assured everyone that one could still enjoy diving even if they couldn't swim, Xue Mi and the others still hesitated for a long time before they went into the water with trepidation.
However, although they were a little flustered, they soon felt the joy of being surrounded by clear sea water and fish.
The sea water has a power that can easily calm people down. It is tolerant, deep, and yet crystal clear.
It’s like accidentally stumbling into another world.
The little fish looked curiously at these strange intruders, then flicked its tail and swam back into the depths of the sea.
By the time the snorkeling experience was over, everyone was still reluctant to leave. Unfortunately, the weather was not very good tomorrow, so they could only wait for another opportunity in the future.
In addition to snorkeling, they also tried surfing, jet skiing, water helicopters and parasailing, and took a cruise to another island for two days.
But the most enjoyable thing is to sit on the beach washed by the waves, feeling the pleasure of the water coming and going quickly.
Even though I nearly choked on my water and looked really stupid, I was really happy for no apparent reason.
There is a kind of happiness that when I was a child, I could laugh for no reason while sitting on the street and daydreaming.
While Xue Mi and her friends were having a happy vacation on the island, the first round of preliminary selections for the Shihua Cup National Film and Television Script Competition, currently the most influential script competition in the country, also began.
Although screenwriting is a relatively niche industry, there are quite a few scripts sent in from all over the country. Unfortunately, most of them can only be considered neat at best, and lack the kind of aura that makes people's eyes light up.
As one of the judges, Lu Fuming is quickly screening the scripts that have registered for the competition, trying to find the hidden gems among them.
"The skills seem to be very solid, but unfortunately it's a bit mechanical. It must be written by a veteran screenwriter." Lu Fuming hesitated for a moment, but finally let the script pass the re-examination.
"This one does look quite spiritual, but the script is too superficial and has not been carefully polished." He sighed with some regret and discarded the script.
Then he clicked on another script.
Lu Fuming has always believed that the best works can make people's eyes light up even if they only read a few lines.
A true genius seems to have a natural aura in his writing that is not possessed by ordinary people and can firmly capture the souls of readers and audiences.
In the past, he had only experienced this feeling in the best scripts, that kind of anxiety and excitement of having his heart in the author's hands.
But now, he never expected that he would find this feeling in a script submitted for the preliminary selection.
"Could it be that it was sent to the wrong person?" Lu Fuming couldn't help but wonder.
Although it is a nationwide audition, scripts submitted by screenwriters who have gained a certain degree of fame will skip this procedure and go directly to the semi-finals.
After all, their level and fame are there. If they are accidentally eliminated, it will be embarrassing for both sides.
In principle, the preliminary selection is a blind audition and the judges do not know the name of the scriptwriter, but the rules are not that strict, especially for senior judges like Lu Fuming, who will find out the name as soon as they ask.
"Miao Miao? She looks like a female screenwriter. When did a screenwriter of this level emerge in China?" He was full of doubts and at the same time curious about the unfamiliar name. While clicking on the "passed the preliminary test", he recommended the script to his old friend, Gu Yi, a member of the jury and a well-known director.
Based on his understanding of his old friend, Gu Yi should like this book very much.
