A Screenwriter's Everyday Life

In the past, Chinese entertainment didn't value screenwriters; it was the directors and stars who became famous. The author, a stubborn new screenwriter, even approached film companies about casting and directing, and after failing, his original storylines were used to create short videos that were very effective.

I started reading this book because of its screenwriting theme, and when I saw that the female lead was Song Yi, I continued reading. But after reaching chapter twenty-four, I realized this book had absolutely nothing to do with entertainment, so I left.

The author is insulting my intelligence... If you have so much money, why don't you register a company, then gather a film crew, find a director, and then find distributors? What can't you do with money?

They're not little kids anymore, yet they have to pick me up and drop me off every day. I really want to complain about this.

The approach was wrong. People who enjoy entertainment want to see familiar or well-known music and movies reflecting other worlds (pretentious). It's cliché, but that's the mainstream, that's reality. Even short videos could be made by slowly releasing a short movie. I really didn't expect it to be original! Even movies or TV shows I haven't seen before are fine, as long as it's well-written.

Parallel universe Song Yi? If so, didn't the protagonist know him in his past life?

How dare you look down on your older brother like that? My older brother can't afford to lose face like that.

I remember the year Jia Ling and Bai Kainan performed a crosstalk routine on the Spring Festival Gala wearing red vests, their script sold for 100,000 yuan and even made it onto the news. It was supposedly out of respect for knowledge or something.

Oh dear, I'll just have a little something tomorrow.

Keep writing dessert recipes! 😏😏
