The screenwriter of "The Wanderer" is named Qian Zhong, a literary young man who wears glasses, looks quite gentle and refined, but is actually poor and destitute.

It has been two years since he graduated from university. Before graduation, he was full of energy and looked at the Chinese film market. He thought that if he could write a script with his talent, big companies and directors like Joaquin and Tianyu would rush to buy it. Then, if he showed off his qualifications and bargained for a little, it would not be a problem for him to sell any script for 50,000 or 60,000 yuan...

Then he made movies that sold well at the box office and won various screenwriting awards. Within a few years, he became a well-known figure in China, overlooking all the other mountains, enjoying countless glories and reaching the peak of his life.

Unfortunately, the reality is very cruel.

I submitted my carefully prepared script to Joaquin and Tianyu but received no response for a long time. There were even a few times when those people accepted my script and seemed very enthusiastic and sincere, but when I left, I hid by the window and looked inside the house, and saw them throw the script into the trash can.

Throw it in like waste paper.

Reality is not a fairy tale. Maybe it is possible to achieve success overnight, but it requires luck.

Obviously Qian Zhong didn't have such luck.

Qian Zhong was miserable from being rejected and failed again and again, but he was unwilling to give up everything and continue to work like other people or be a clerk or something...

After all, his dream is to become a screenwriter and make a great movie to make himself famous.

Two years passed in a hurry. The young man who was full of vigor and vitality at the beginning grew older. Although he still firmly wrote scripts and submitted them to major companies, he failed as usual. But he became sighing and felt that there was no one in the world who could show him talent...

Until one day, when he was eating barbecue and drinking at a roadside stall, he met a fat man.

The fat man was sitting opposite him. Just as he was reading the script and thinking about submitting it again, wanting to have a second-rate director read it this time, the fat man looked at him and took the initiative to talk to him.

“Are you an actor?”

"without……"

"So what are you doing..."

“I’m reading the script…”

"Reading a script is not an actor?"

“I’m a screenwriter…”

"Oh? Have you ever edited any movies?"

"No."

After looking at the fat man's excited expression, Qian Zhong closed his eyes, suddenly sighed, and could only utter these two words.

For some reason, he, who had always been strong, suddenly couldn't help feeling a sore nose after thinking about his experiences over the years. Although he reminded himself not to cry, his eyes still turned red.

"I also know a great screenwriter, but that screenwriter is not like you who cries easily."

"What can I do? No one likes my script, no one wants to shoot it..."

"Can't you take the photo yourself? You look so cowardly..."

"I have no money."

"Hey, you look much older than my buddy, but the difference... is not a little bit!" Fatty Wei shook his head.

“Is your screenwriter buddy the same as me?”

"Of course it's different."

"ah?"

"He wrote the script himself, raised the investment himself, directed it himself, and even wanted to be an actor himself. Moreover, the movie will be released next month. Do you think it can be the same?"

"Oh my god..."

When Qian Zhong heard this, his eyes widened, and he was so surprised that he uttered these two very polite words.

This guy, is he a monster?

"Show me your script, kid. I'm actually a director too."

“You are…you…”

"Lucky boy, come on, show me the script, maybe your chance has come!"

"good……"

…

Fatty Wei would never admit that he was cheating or defrauding people.

Instead, he claims to be a kind person.

Spending five thousand to buy a script, and by the way, with Lu Yuan's consent, signing a director's assistant to provide this poor and unlucky guy with a job, isn't this kindness?

He is so kind to the core!

He felt that he had saved a fairly good screenwriter in China, and that he was a great mentor!

He even wanted to give himself a nice guy card if he could.

A good script, a talented director, and an actor who plays his true self...

Everything will undergo a qualitative change!

He was so confident in "The Wanderer" that he even called Li Qing drunkenly on the day he bought the script.

"Lao Li, come with A Yuan and me, let's turn the entire film industry upside down!"

Li Qing was deeply moved after hearing this, and responded with three words very enthusiastically: "Psycho!"

Although he responded with these three words, Li Qing still agreed and asked Fatty Wei when the filming would start.

Lu Yuan didn't say anything about it. He couldn't dampen Fatty Wei's enthusiasm, right? In the end, he just stepped up his study of acting expertise and waited for the premiere of "Buried Alive".

No matter what he thought in his heart, his "remote" entertainment now has one more screenwriter, Qian Zhong, who wears glasses and looks a little weak. Moreover, whenever Qian Zhong sees Lu Yuan, he always calls him "Brother Lu" and "Brother Lu" with his eyes full of admiration like a little fanboy.

The reason is simple, because Fatty Wei once said this to him in a very pretentious and artistic way...

"What you are seeing is the rise of a legendary team, and this legend begins with Buried Alive... As for our 'Remote' Entertainment, even though it is just a small company now, in the future, it will be so huge that you cannot imagine..."

"Are you ready?"

Fatty Wei's words were extremely misleading and inflammatory, just like a pyramid scheme.

That moment...

Qian Zhong was so interested that he urinated...

…

August 31st, sunny.

Strictly speaking, "Buried" premiered after 11:59 tonight.

This is a very disappointing time, even more disappointing than those midnight slots. It can be said to be the only movie released in the early morning among all the recent movies.

No one in the circle paid attention to this movie. Shen Lianjie didn't even want to mention it. No matter how Fatty Wei clamored, Shen Lianjie ignored him and would not post any messages mocking the movie on the Internet.

He couldn't fall into Fatty Wei's trap.

He is also a well-known director in the circle. If he jumps out to mock this movie, wouldn't that be advertising for the movie?

Only a fool would do that.

He is not stupid.

Although September 1st is not October 1st, there are quite a lot of movies released on that day. Many medium-budget and low-budget movies deliberately avoid October 1st, the time when the movie explodes and is crushed, and choose September 1st, when there is relatively less competition.

Despite this, there are still many strong films on September 1st, such as Zhang Tong's "Subway Station", Shen Lianjie's "Capital", Xu Xiaoming's "War Night", and many youth art films.

Buried didn't have much room to survive among these films. Even though Lu Yuan advertised online and made headlines, it didn't make it into the top ten movies released in September...

"Beep, beep, beep"

At noon, Lu Yuan put on a suit, combed his hair into a mature look, and was about to go to the cinema to watch other movies when the phone rang.

When Lu Yuan saw it, it was a call from Wang Jinxue whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Where?"

"At the company."

"Oh, here we come."

"us?"

“You didn’t read Weibo?”

"Ah... I didn't see it, what's wrong?"

"I said, could you please pay more attention to your own movie?"

"I am concerned."

"Read An Xiao's Weibo yourself."

"oh."

When the call ended, Lu Yuan turned on his phone and checked Weibo.

After clicking on An Xiao’s Weibo post, I saw a picture and a line of text.

"In the early morning of September 1st, I will go to Tianhe Cinema to watch "Buried"... Everyone come together, I will give my autographed photos to the first ten fans! As for which regional cinema chain of Tianhe, it depends on your luck!"
