Chapter 609 General Lin Guihua is a prodigy.
The word "extraordinary" can be seen from her series of eye-catching, outrageously bad representative works.
Some people have commented on Lin Guihua like this: Before the "Tales of No. 9X in the Courtyard" series, domestic horror films had almost no presence; after the "Tales of No. 9X in the Courtyard" series, the presence of domestic horror films greatly increased, successfully making people tremble with fear and run away!
When the staff at the creative center received this resume, they had no idea what to do.
According to Qingping Entertainment's internal rules, screenwriters with films grossing over ten million yuan can be directly submitted to a higher level without review. However, the problem is that the reputation of the "Tales of No. 9X Tianjing" series is so bad that it's common knowledge. Last year, some people from the company went to see "Tales of No. 96 Tianjing," and after leaving the theater, they almost cursed the director and screenwriter's ancestors to the point of standing up.
Unfortunately, the director and screenwriter of the "Strange Tales of No. 9X Courtyard" series are the same person, namely the famous Ms. Lin Guihua.
It's fair to say that Lin Guihua's box office performance is negligible among directors. Yet, her fame far surpasses that of directors whose films gross billions. She seems to possess a kind of magic that allows audiences to watch and criticize simultaneously, as if they were watching her film from her grave. She's a rare example of a director who sacrifices her ancestors.
Of course, if we disregard word-of-mouth and only look at box office performance, Lin Guihua's achievements stand out among screenwriters. This resume was reported through various levels of government and finally reached Ji Juntao and Shang Yechu's case.
Ji Juntao was quite surprised that such a well-known screenwriter and director with such a peculiar reputation would actually visit Qingping Entertainment.
After learning about this, Shang Yechu went online to look up information about Lin Guihua with great interest.
Lin Guihua's real name is Lin Guihua; Lin Guihua is her stage name. This "Guihua" (a nickname for Lin Guihua) comes from a remote mountain village. In that isolated village, there are many folk customs and superstitions, as well as countless rural tales and legends. Perhaps this is the origin of her fondness for horror movies.
After growing up, Lin Guihua went to university in a big city. Her major had nothing to do with professions like directing or screenwriting. Nevertheless, she didn't give up her love for horror movies. Back in college, she had rehearsed short horror plays in the drama club, scaring her classmates so much they screamed.
Later, Lin Guihua found a job. A few years later, she used her savings to invest in her first online film. She wrote, directed, and starred in it, and a few like-minded horror film enthusiasts participated in the filming together, laughing and joking.
The film, titled *The Beautiful General*, was an extremely poorly made online movie with a chaotic pace and a tangled plot, earning a mere 5.2 rating on Greenban. Despite this, in 2014, when the revenue-sharing model and the concept of online movies were just emerging, it still achieved an astonishing 5 million yuan in box office revenue with a budget of only 280,000 yuan!
This number is unimaginable, whether for a novice director with zero experience or for a salaried office worker.
From then on, it was unstoppable.
Since then, Lin Guihua has plunged headlong into the abyss of horror movies. Perhaps for her, it wasn't an abyss, but another wondrous and beautiful world.
Since 2014, Lin Guihua has been producing an astonishing output of two to three horror films every year, creating a plethora of dizzying and terrifying online horror movies. These include works such as *Yin Yang Wu Sheng*, *Mountain Village Ghost Stories*, *Ghost Town Coffin*, and *Ghost Hunter*. The highest rating on Greenban for these works is 5.9, while the lowest is 2.8.
