The call was from Fengchuan Film and Television Company.
Ni Sitian recalled that she had previously submitted script drafts to them and even conducted interviews with them.
Later, Producer Chen was very satisfied with her, but after what happened that day, although they were both framed and nothing really happened, it was still a bit awkward. She thought that Producer Chen didn't want the script anymore.
Unexpectedly, Producer Chen's assistant called to ask if she was still willing to cooperate as previously agreed. The salary was already very good for a newcomer, and she could get 30,000 yuan per episode.
As for the payment method, a deposit is paid first, and the full amount is paid after the script is approved. This is because the script may be revised repeatedly during the process, and this is to ensure that the screenwriter will not suddenly abandon the project.
However, to become a long-term contracted screenwriter for their company, it depends on the subsequent scripts and the feedback after they are filmed.
Ni Sitian couldn't be more satisfied with the price. She had been hanging out in a lot of screenwriter groups lately and had seen how difficult it was for new screenwriters, with some even having to ghostwrite for others. She felt very lucky to get this treatment.
"Then let's come to the company tomorrow to sign the contract, is that alright?" the assistant asked her.
Ni Sitian suddenly remembered that the script might be for Jiang Yun, so she asked, "Is Jiang Yun playing the male lead?"
"Of course not. I don't know how he offended the boss. A film we were supposed to work on has already been canceled," the assistant blurted out, then said to Ni Sitian, "Don't go asking about this."
Ni Sitian was a little dumbfounded. She had only asked one question, and it was all said by Ni Sitian herself. How did it become that Ni Sitian had inquired about it?
People in this industry are so gossipy and shrewd. Luckily, she just wants to be a junior screenwriter, focusing on writing and avoiding this kind of thing.
After hanging up the phone, Ni Sitian was in a very good mood and opened her document to continue writing the script.
When Xu Tingchuan returned, he found the living room dark except for a ray of light coming from Ni Sitian's small study. He turned on the light and went in, where he saw her intently typing on the computer, seemingly having been working continuously for some time.
He turned and went to the kitchen to pour a glass of milk, walked behind her, and placed the milk next to her.
She was so engrossed that she didn't notice him coming in. He stood behind her, looking at the passage she was writing, and found it very familiar. Wasn't this something he had done before?
He looked at the words in parentheses that described the female protagonist's inner thoughts at the time, and leaned down to whisper in her ear: "So that's how moved you were back then."
Ni Sitian was startled, turned around and patted him, saying, "Why didn't you make a sound when you came in?"
"You're too focused." Xu Tingchuan pinched her little face.
Ni Sitian calmed down and then excitedly told him about the good news of the day, saying, "It's initially estimated to be forty episodes. I'll get a lot of money after this show is finished!"
"My wife is amazing." Xu Tingchuan cupped her face, kissed her, and praised her generously.
"However, this means we can't go on our honeymoon for now. I have to get busy," Ni Sitian said apologetically.
"It doesn't matter when the honeymoon is." Xu Tingchuan was genuinely happy for her arrival. Being able to do things she enjoys and gradually achieve success through setbacks is also a form of growth.
His young wife is becoming more and more like a grown-up, and is striving to become an even better version of herself.
