Chapter 151 Screenplay Gold Award



5:30 pm, Haicheng Airport.

Wen Xi received a call from the organizing committee of the Film and Television Association as soon as he got off the plane.

The person in charge of connecting with Wen Xi in the organizing committee is named Liao Yunsi, who is in his 40s. He has served as a director, screenwriter and producer, and is a well-known figure in the Chinese film and television industry.

He was the head of the investigation team that investigated the plagiarism of Wen Xi's works by Luo He last time.

Liao Yunsi called at this time, and Wen Xi asked casually: "Teacher Liao, how is the matter of Luo He stealing my basic information being handled?"

Liao Yunsi responded very officially: "We have criticized Luo He in the Film and Television Association and revoked his membership."

Wen Xi understood that the Film and Television Association did not favor Luo He, but stood firmly on the side of herself, a newcomer in the screenwriting field, which made her feel a little surprised.

Liao Yunsi: "Wen Xi, congratulations on winning the gold medal in the screenplay competition for your script "Saving the Wind and Dust."

"But there is also some not-so-optimistic news."

Liao Yunsi changed the subject: "During the script selection, the judges highly recognized the quality of your script."

"However, no investor at the selection conference showed any interest in investing in your script."

"Funding is crucial for filming a TV series. Without investors willing to invest, your script cannot be filmed."

Upon hearing this news, Wen Xi said, "Oh!" "What are the rewards for the gold medal in the scriptwriting competition?"

Liao Yunsi on the other end of the phone was stunned when he heard Wen Xi's words. Shouldn't Wen Xi ask himself what to do at this time?

Then he could take advantage of the situation and let Wen Xi attend the investor's dinner.

But why didn't she follow the routine?

Liao Yunsi: "Well, the gold medal in the competition can get a prize of 200,000 yuan."

"At the same time, you can obtain membership in our China Film and Television Association, and receive one-on-one instruction from senior film and television professionals..."

Wen Xi: "When will the bonus arrive?"

Even a small amount is meat, so every penny earned counts.

Liao Yunsi: “…”

Is the gold medal winner so short-sighted?

Don’t you have any hope that your script can be made into a TV series?!

If the copyright could be sold, the profit from making a TV series could be much more than 200,000, and the opportunities that come with it cannot be bought with money.

However, such short-sighted people are also particularly easy to control.

Liao Yunsi: "It will be transferred to your bank card account within about 7 working days."

Wen Xi: “Okay!”

When Liao Yunsi heard Wen Xi's tone as if he was about to hang up the phone, he quickly said, "Wen Xi, I actually think your drama has the potential to be a hit. I worked hard to get you an opportunity."

Wen Xi rolled his eyes when he heard what the other party said: "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Liao. What should I do?"

Liao Yunsi thought the fish had finally taken the bait.

"Well, I'll host a dinner on Saturday, and we'll have our important film and television investment partners present."

Liao Yunsi acted as if he was thinking of Wen Xi: "When the time comes, you can introduce yourself to these investors at the dinner."

"Our association doesn't want to see such an excellent screenwriter like you being buried."

The truth was revealed. Wen Xi originally thought that Liao Yunsi was an honest film and television person, but he didn't expect that he would ask her to have dinner with investors in the name of doing good for him.

Wen Xi said in a casual tone: "I'm sorry, I'm not free on Saturday, I need to rest."

Liao Yunsi had already prepared for Wen Xi to ask him for advice to find out the information and preferences of those investors.

I didn't expect Wen Xi to say such a thing.

He didn't even have Saturday off!

"What do you mean? You don't want your script to be filmed?"

Wen Xi: "It seems that Teacher Liao is more worried than me. How about I buy the copyright from Teacher Liao and shoot it myself?"

Liao Yunsi: "You rejected this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity now. Don't regret it later."

Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said in a serious tone: "I'm sorry, did I make you angry?"

Upon hearing this, Liao Yunsi thought that Wen Xi had realized that something was wrong and changed his mind, but he didn't expect that Wen Xi's next sentence almost made him angry to death.

Wen Xi: "You won't be so angry that you won't give me a bonus, right?"

"Teacher Liao shouldn't be such a petty person, right?"

Liao Yunsi became even angrier: "Money, money, money, that's all you care about! A loser like you is destined to never make it in the screenwriting industry!"

"I'll call you right away, okay?"

After the call ended, Liao Yunsi called the finance department and asked him to transfer Wen Xi's bonus immediately.

Humph, 200,000. When I get banned, even asking others for favors won’t be enough to fill the gap.

When Wen Xi left the terminal, the hall was crowded with people holding cheering sticks in their hands. Wen Xi, wrapped up like a dumpling, almost thought his itinerary was exposed.

However, Wen Xi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw many fans who came to pick him up at the airport holding banners with the words "Wei Yin" written on them.

Wei Yin, I'm an old acquaintance. She used to hype up a couple with the original cast members on "Girls Group 101," and the votes for their debut on the group's formation night were inflated.

Wen Xi looked at the huge crowds of people at the scene and saw that other people who wanted to leave the terminal could hardly move.

She didn't want to be squeezed, so she put her hands in her pockets and walked forward quickly.

Passersby complained: "Who is this celebrity? Why is the arcade making such a big fuss?"

"Stop talking about it. The fans don't want to hear it."

"There's a flight from Gan Province Airport to Haicheng today. It's such a big deal, I thought it was Wen Xi."

"If it was Wen Xi, I would be even crazier than this. He is a top scholar who is proficient in both civil and military affairs!"
