Chapter 563 Slightly Modified
Tell your story, as the name suggests, is to tell your story.
However, they use a written method. You just need to write the story and send it to their company. It is also anonymous and will not have any impact on the person providing the story.
Of course, this story would not be free. If it was to be filmed, Ye Qian would have to spend money to buy her.
Finally, Ye Qian returned to the company with the answer and made arrangements.
However, the deadline is limited. This activity is only valid for one week, and no submissions will be accepted after one week.
Ye Qian contacted the newspaper and the reporters, paid some extra money to get the front-page headline, and also arranged for a mailbox at the company entrance.
The next day, Ye Qian received several letters without stamps. She guessed that they were sent directly to her mailbox by someone living nearby.
Ye Qian read the letters one by one and found them very interesting.
To be honest, even if Ye Qian didn't remember her childhood clearly, it was still easy for someone who had written so many stories to write a few touching stories.
But what Ye Qian wanted was authenticity. She made this movie to reflect these real situations. If she made it up, it would not be real, so she resorted to this method.
There were not many letters on the second and third days, but on the fourth day, the mailbox was completely filled with letters. The security guard had no choice but to put a bucket next to the mailbox for the mail delivery person to put the letters. He was afraid that the letters would be stolen, so he moved a chair and sat next to it.
Fortunately, it was not far away and only took a few days, so it did not interfere with his main work.
Ye Qian could still read the letters for the first two days, but after they exploded, she couldn't read them at all.
Even with the help of Li Manyu and Wang Qiong, there was still not enough time.
At this moment, she was also glad that the letters were only one week old and would not be received after the deadline. Otherwise, she didn't know how long it would take them to finish reading them.
However, the biggest feeling after reading these letters is that childhood really has a huge impact on a person. Even Wang Qiong, who is usually carefree, couldn't help crying after reading those letters.
"It's so tragic. This person is so miserable." Wang Qiong wiped her tears and handed the letter to Ye Qian again.
The letter was three pages long and very detailed, describing her entire life from childhood to adulthood. However, I later noticed that she had written in parentheses at the end: "I can't read, so my friend wrote this for me. She was the one who told me about this event, but Director Ye is a director I really like, and I've seen all of your films. Regardless of whether you can see this letter or not, I feel very honored to send it to you."
A signature was left at the end of the letter.
"This can be made into a movie on its own, telling the story of a rural woman's unremitting self-improvement." She even had a visual of the story in her mind.
But no, this is not their purpose this time, but it is not impossible to keep it as the subject of the next movie.
This letter was put aside separately, and Ye Qian wanted to keep it well.
It took the three of them three weeks to read the remaining letters.
The main reason is that there is too much content, and because it is read by three people, if one person likes it, he will show it to another person. It takes time to read a letter over and over again.
However, they only selected the ones that could be used from the numerous letters, and there were too many of them, so the three of them spent another week carefully selecting from them and chose three different life stories.
As for why I say this, it is because this movie still wants to make a comparison. What kind of child is raised by the original happy family? What kind of child is raised by a difficult but motivated family? What kind of child is raised by another family with an ordinary life but scolded every day?
In fact, the movie time was still too short, but three stories at a time was already the limit. Finally, after unanimous decision of the company, the stories of these three people were chosen as the prototype of the movie.
Of course, Ye Qian would not write it completely according to other people's families. After all, it is a movie, so some content still needs to be added.
Ye Qian also gave each of these three people a fee of 1,000 yuan for their manuscripts.
Ye Qian took out the story that everyone had hidden away before and read it carefully. She was reluctant to let it go, so she asked, "What do you think about me filming three movies at once? Will it be too much pressure? After all, I'm not young anymore."
"I support you. I think you're still young and shouldn't underestimate yourself. You can definitely handle three movies. Besides, we're not asking you to shoot three at once. We can just take them one at a time. It should be fine."
"It's actually not that bad. I was just worried that the company wouldn't have enough cash to support us making three movies at once."
It was because Ye Qian had been doing too much in the real estate business recently. Since the company's two buildings made money, Wang Qiong took advantage of the situation and found a way to get two more pieces of land to build buildings. The houses were still selling well, and everyone made a lot of money.
But this means the company has less working capital and is much more restricted in its work.
"If you shoot one movie after another, the funds will be sufficient. When you shoot your second movie, our new community will start selling, and then the funds will come in."
"Okay, make a budget for me. Calculate it carefully. Don't bankrupt our company just to make a movie. That would be more trouble than it's worth."
Wang Qiong was speechless. How could it be possible?
But Li Manyu didn't think so. "It's really possible. Sometimes things like this happen when funds are not flowing smoothly. It's better to be careful."
"Okay, I'll write the scripts for these two films first, work out the budget, and then we'll find this person to talk about it. What do you think?"
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
"good."
Ye Qian was absorbed in writing the script, while Wang Qiong was obsessed with making the budget.
It’s not that Ye Qian didn’t want to care, but her inspiration suddenly burst out and she couldn’t stop writing. She typed on the keyboard every day and could write a story a day. In just three days, the three stories of this movie were finished.
After all, the stories all have prototypes, so you just need to think about some changes to the plot.
As for turning it into a movie script later, that is the editor's job, and the screenwriter will also make some slight changes to it.
The outline and small outline of another suspense comedy film had been completed. Ye Qian then took the initiative to find Wang Qiong and said, "I have finished writing this movie, but you haven't made a budget yet. The quantity should wait until I finish writing the next one."
“No, but it’s really hard to do.”
