Two, My name is Su Muxian (2)

  The poem was finished and I took it to be published in our school newspaper. Unexpectedly, I got to know two other literary youths from our school, Zuo Ye and Er Zhai.

  By coincidence, we two got together and ran a magazine called "Feng Chuan Tang". The magazine only had three issues before Erzhai and I prepared for internship or further studies, while Zuo Pie Er went from freshman to sophomore.

  Erzhai chose to upgrade to a university, and I was going to go to the hospital for an internship when "Chuān Táng Fēng" magazine was seen by the editor-in-chief of a youth literature magazine. They contacted me and asked me to be an editor at their magazine.

  So I directly dropped out of school and went to Yantai, a city with beautiful sea views.

  I worked at a magazine company, muddle-headed for over a year, then quit. The reason was that I got tired of the monotony of each person having one computer, collecting manuscripts, reviewing manuscripts, and picking out typos every day.

  At that time, a Shanghai DM magazine was recruiting editors and planners. I had previously helped this DM magazine with an e-magazine, so I packed my bags and went to Shanghai. After doing planning for three months, I went to a film company in Beijing and did scriptwriting for three months. During these three months, I came into contact with stage scriptwriting, TV scriptwriting, and film scriptwriting, and then I made up my mind to become a film scriptwriter.

  So after returning from Beijing, in March 2010, I carried my luggage and came to the place where Gu Xue Lin studied, Xinshi City.

  Gu Xue Lin is my girlfriend. She studies at Xinjiang Normal University College of Education. Undergraduate, Computer Department, Network Engineering major.

  I met her in September 2009. At that time, she had just been in her first year of college for two weeks. And I was then working as an editor at a youth literary magazine in Yan Tan for one year and two months.

  At that time, it was exactly the time when I was in a dilemma. I was tired of the dullness of working at the magazine company and wanted to quit, but I was also worried about the uncertainty of my future prospects.

  During the National Day holiday, she went to Wild Goose Island.

  We went together to see the sea, climb mountains, go to amusement parks, go to food streets, and spent a beautiful Golden Week.

  Then she returned to her school in Shikoku City.

  And I resigned and went to Shanghai to be a planner.

  It wasn't until I went from Shanghai to Beijing and then back to Xingkou that it was already April 2010.

  XinKou is a very ancient city with an old-fashioned flavor of ancient city walls and moat.

  I have always believed that my screenwriting dreams will bloom into a brilliant flower in this ancient city with a thousand years of cultural accumulation.

  Unfortunately, from being a screenwriter to now, I have only written one complete script. It's a literary script, 45 pages, about 30,000 words.

  It's an urban romance drama. The plot is as clichéd as most romance movies, with a philandering male lead driving a luxury private car who meets a pure-hearted girl riding a bicycle on the road, and then sparks fly, overcoming various obstacles and misunderstandings to finally end up together.

  This movie script was sold to my previous boss, a film company in Beijing. They paid me 5,000 yuan for it. At the time, the contract stated that after they paid me, I would have no further connection with the film. Later, when the film was shot and edited, my name wasn't even credited as the screenwriter. And I had to keep this a secret, fulfilling my promise not to tell anyone that I was the original author of the literary script for this movie.

  Well, I'll be frank, I've been a gunman once.

  But I don't plan on being a gunman anymore. I want to put my name, proudly and openly, in the screenwriter column of a movie, so I chose to resign.

  Screenwriter, this profession is not engaged in by many people.

  Because many film directors and screenwriters often moonlight.

  Moreover, many movies are adapted from other sources. Therefore, purely original screenplays and film writers who make a living solely by writing movie scripts are very rare.

  As for myself, while writing screenplays, I also occasionally submit articles to newspapers and magazines.

  So people like me are a relatively typical type of homebody.

  I don't like the term "otaku", I think it's a bit dark, just like blog, weike, xiake, jianke, I call myself zhaoke.

  I spend just two or three hours every day writing movie scripts.

  At other times, apart from eating and sleeping, I play Legend of Mir private server.
