Chapter 245 Invitation to be a Screenwriter
Liu Hai's enthusiasm remained unabated: "Writer Zhao, I really didn't expect you to be so young. I heard from your eldest sister that you are only 17 years old. You are really young and promising~"
Zhao Fenglan became even more shy.
Gu Zhou couldn't help but interrupt and joked: "Liu Hai, Writer Zhao is so young, don't scare him."
Like a pervert.
Hearing this.
Liu Hai immediately calmed down a lot and said apologetically, "Writer Zhao, I'm really sorry. I was so excited when I saw you."
Zhao Fenglan quickly waved her hands: "No need to apologize."
"Comrade Liu Hai, don't call me Writer Zhao anymore. Just call me Feng Lan."
Liu Hai readily agreed: "Okay, Fenglan."
"My daughter is the same age as you. You can call me Uncle Liu."
Zhao Fenglan opened her mouth.
Gu Zhou interrupted: "Feng Lan, although I am only a few years younger than Liu Hai, I am not married yet. You can just call me Brother Gu."
Although Zhao Fenglan had never met Gu Zhou, she felt more at ease communicating with him. After hearing his words, she felt less nervous and called out:
"Brother Gu."
"Uncle Liu."
Gu Zhou smiled: "Yeah."
Liu Hai responded quickly.
Lin Su'e looked at it for a while, then said, "Everyone sit down first, talk slowly, and enjoy the melon."
The three of them, including Lin Su'e and Zhao Chunlan, sat on the sofa together.
Liu Hai lost his temper and said, "Feng Lan, it was me who suggested that Gu Zhou and I come to your house this time."
"We at Shanghai Film Studio want to make a movie out of My Father and Mother. Please sell the copyright to us."
Zhao Fenglan was stunned: "Filming a movie?!"
There was realization and shock in Zhao Chunlan's eyes: I didn't expect this to be a real movie?
A look of understanding flashed across Lin Su'e's eyes.
"Love Letter" is also a good novel, but in terms of filming suitability, it is naturally not as good as "My Father and Mother".
This is a period film that fits in very well with the current environment, and the filming does not lack a sense of immersion.
The novel "Love Letter" was written by Zhao Fenglan. Compared with the original version, it is more suitable for local development, but it is still not so suitable for adaptation. After all, the plot is too fantastic and it is probably unacceptable to the elderly, so the audience group is limited.
"My Father and Mother" does not have this worry; it is the story of this generation.
Liu Hai added: "Feng Lan, our Shanghai Film Studio is not as wealthy as a newspaper. We can only give you 2 yuan for copyright fees per thousand words. Please don't despise it."
Zhao Fenglan shook her head without even thinking: "No, no."
In fact, she herself doesn't have much desire to spend money, and now she has thousands of dollars in savings, which she feels she can't spend in several years.
What's more, she never thought that she could make money after the novel was published. This was already a pleasant surprise.
The most important thing is that her novel was adapted into a movie. It is such a great honor, and the money is nothing.
Liu Hai was overjoyed: "So you agreed?"
Zhao Fenglan nodded: "Yes."
Liu Hai stood up and stamped his feet: "Great!"
Then, he continued, "Feng Lan, you are the original author of the novel. On behalf of Shanghai Film Studio, I would like to invite you to be the screenwriter of our movie. Do you agree?"
Zhao Fenglan's eyes widened: "Screenwriter?"
This was an area she had never been involved in before. After she came to her senses, she couldn't help but shake her head: "Uncle Liu, you must be joking. I have no experience, so I'm afraid it won't work..."
"Screenwriting is not difficult, it's almost the same as writing."
"We have screenwriters in our studio. They will teach you some editing techniques. You will mainly focus on the general direction."
Liu Hai said earnestly, "Our studio really likes My Father and My Mother and we don't want to ruin it."
Hearing this.
Zhao Fenglan hesitated.
Aside.
Zhao Chunlan leaned close to Lin Su'e's ear and whispered, "Mom, do you think it's reliable for my little sister to be a screenwriter?"
Lin Su'e was also surprised.
She thought about selling the copyright, but she didn't expect that Liu Hai actually planned to invite her to be a film screenwriter.
but.
Thinking about the past life, many famous writers switched careers to become screenwriters and became very successful, so I don’t think it’s a bad thing.
It's also good to learn one more skill.
Thinking this in her mind, Lin Su'e did not speak rashly.
At this time.
Zhao Fenglan looked at her helplessly: "Mom, do you think I should go or not?"
Lin Su'e raised her eyebrows.
Before she could answer, she saw Liu Hai looking at her eagerly and pleadingly.
she:"……"
"Go ahead, I'll accompany you then."
Hearing this.
Zhao Fenglan felt relieved at once: "Mom, are you really going to accompany me?"
"certainly."
Lin Su'e: "Not only will I accompany you, but our whole family will accompany you. This time, the place for our family trip is Hai City."
A smile broke out on Zhao Fenglan's face.
Liu Hai was even more delighted, and quickly assured Lin Su'e: "Sister Lin, I grew up in Hai City. When you go to Hai City for a tour, I will be your guide."
Lin Su'e: "This is a good feeling~"
Gu Zhou also laughed and interrupted: "It's a pity that I have to go back to Beijing, otherwise I would go to Haishi to play. I heard that Haishi has a lot of fun."
“…”
The deal is settled.
Gu Zhou, Liu Hai and Zhao Fenglan signed a copyright agreement.
after.
The two of them said goodbye.
Liu Hai left his contact information and repeatedly told Zhao Fenglan to call him after they bought the tickets so that he would pick them up at the airport.
Zhao Chunlan also has things to do in the store.
So, I left with them.
Before leaving.
Lin Su'e called her and said, "Chunlan, you take Liu Hai and Gu Zhou to the hot pot restaurant later and treat them to a meal before letting them go, okay?"
Zhao Chunlan nodded heavily: "Okay, Mom, I understand."
…
Wait for the two people to leave.
Lin Su'e couldn't hold it in any longer and hugged Zhao Fenglan and exclaimed: "I didn't expect that a great writer would come out of our family. It's adapted into a movie. This is amazing!"
Zhao Fenglan's face turned red from the praise, and she stammered back, "No, not that great~"
“I just heard other people’s stories.”
Lin Su'e said seriously: "My daughter is great. You are not the only one who knows this story, but you wrote it down and wrote it so movingly. This is your unique talent."
Zhao Fenglan's face changed, as if she was thinking about something.
After a while, she smiled with relief: "Mom is right, I have talent."
Lin Su'e patted her on the shoulder and said, "That's the right thing to think."
…
unfortunately.
Today, Zhao Zhenli, Zhao Yulan and Zhao Zhenxin went out to play with their friends.
Zhao Zhenren went to find Wang Dagui.
Zhao Zhenyi went to a reunion with his junior high school classmates.
Therefore, they did not see Liu Hai and Gu Zhou. In the evening, Lin Su'e told them about this matter, and they were shocked and surprised.
Zhao Zhenren's eyes widened: "Is this true?"
Zhao Yulan exclaimed, "My second sister's novel is going to be made into a movie?"
Zhao Zhenli laughed loudly: "Hahaha, then when the movie is released, I will definitely invite my classmates to watch it, and then tell them that this movie was written by my second sister."
“…”
The whole family was happy for Zhao Fenglan.
