Poverty alleviation variety show goes to the countryside, my talent can no longer be hidden

Chapter 23 Brother, I was just kidding you!
XX Chinese website, ninth editorial office.

Yan Lei was clacking at the keyboard, his finger speed almost appearing out of nowhere, and one could vaguely see the style of the tentacle monster back then.

"I handed in the script, but the editor-in-chief and the people at Shanhai Film and Television are not very satisfied. I guess it's a dead end. You have to be mentally prepared."

Feng Lai Shi Jie: "Impossible? Did they read the script?"

"They all said it wasn't very good." Yan Lei replied patiently, "I know you're not willing to accept it, but you have to accept the reality. After all, online novels are really different from scripts."

"Let's talk about your book 'Nirvana in Fire' for example. How big of a gap is there between your book and the previous book 'The Great Lord'? You should know it better than anyone else, right? If this trend continues, it would be a blessing if the first order for this book exceeds 10,000 when it is put on the shelves."

"It's okay to fail at writing a book once in a while, but if you fail at writing a book repeatedly without any reason, your godhood will be completely worn out. By then, even if you want to go back to writing fantasy novels, there will be no place for you there."

"Listen to my advice and turn back soon. It just so happens that the expected word count for this edition of Nirvana in Fire is not that long. If I return to the fantasy section, the popularity base should still be there."

There was no reply for a long time and the chat came to an abrupt end.

Yan Lei leaned back and sighed heavily.

It looks like he's still not awake.

But he is so stubborn.

Do you have to get your head broken and bloody before you admit defeat?

"Boss, how about the script of The Wind Comes?"

A female editor under my command asked me about this while she was making tea.

"Not so good!" Yan Lei pulled at his receding hairline, "Try not to sign IP-oriented articles in the future. The editor-in-chief almost cursed my ancestors just now... Whoever wants to do this unlucky job can do it!"

"No way?" The female editor looked surprised. "Based on the level of Nirvana in Fire, he should be able to write the script, right?"

"Who knows." Yan Lei waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, don't mention this to me anymore. It makes me upset just by hearing it..."

Before he could finish his words, his cell phone rang.

Upon seeing the caller ID, Yan Lei immediately lost hope. "Look, the editor-in-chief called again. I guess he's going to scold me again."

After answering the call, he carefully covered the bottom speaker, fearing that his greetings containing too much motherly content would be spread out.

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief..."

"Xiao Yan, you did a great job!"

Yan Lei felt as if his head was hit by a hammer, "Huh?"

"The script was very popular with Shanhai after reading it, and it is very likely to be accepted." Xu Wenming's voice sounded kind and friendly. "You, as a talent scout, have made great contributions to discovering such a talented screenwriter!"

Yan Lei felt stars in front of his eyes, "Huh?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Yu just called me personally and praised your work performance. I think this matter is inevitable!"

Yan Lei: “…………”

"Notice, all members of Group 9 will have a team-building dinner tonight. I'll treat everyone, no one can be left out! Especially you must not take a day off, I have to toast you two glasses!"

It had been a long time since the call was hung up, but Yan Lei was still in a daze.

The female editor handed him a bottle of water with a sympathetic look on her face. "Boss, drink some water and calm down. The editor-in-chief just talks like that. Don't take it to heart..."

Yan Lei slowly raised his head and looked at the female editor, "Notify everyone that the entire team will have a dinner party tonight. The editor-in-chief will treat."

"Not really?" The female editor looked shocked. "Are we going to hold a farewell party for you just for such a small matter?"

"No." Yan Lei swallowed hard, "The editor-in-chief is treating us to a meal to celebrate Feng Lai's script being accepted."

"Wha...what?!!"

The female editor's rising scream instantly startled the entire office.

In less than half a minute, almost all the editors gathered around.

"Boss, is this true? Today is not April Fools' Day!"

"Really, it's absolutely true." Yan Lei, who had recovered from his shock, straightened his back quietly, feeling refreshed!
"Didn't he say he had only been writing for ten days? Is that okay?"

"Maybe this is talent." Yan Lei said with emotion: "The top screenwriter over at Shanhai said that although this script is still a bit crude, the framework and storyline are already very complete, and it can be used after a little bit of filling in the meat."

"And from what they said, the quality of this script may have far exceeded the average level of current online dramas, and it is good enough to be broadcast on satellite TV stations."

"Fuck!" The female editor cursed, "Then our group nine has done a great job!"

"Yes." Yan Lei said with great enthusiasm: "President Yu personally praised our group nine in person from the editor-in-chief."

"Amazing!" an old editor said with emotion, "I just crossed over and wrote this kind of book in just ten days... Talent is something that I really can't envy."

"It has to be the boss who had the foresight to sign this great god!" Someone began to flatter him. Yan Lei was very pleased to hear this, and his face was almost wrinkled with laughter.

At this moment, the chat box on the computer screen suddenly lit up.

Feng Lai Shi Jie: "Okay, Boss, I won't write next time."

Yan Lei's smile froze instantly, and he pounced in front of the keyboard like a vicious dog.

"Brother, big brother, I was just joking. I was joking with you."

"Write, keep writing, I support you!"

…………

In front of the computer, Zhou Hao looked at the question mark at the end of the chat content.

What's going on? It's so confusing. Is this editor crazy?
When he heard that "Day and Night Chase" was rejected, he had already felt despair about Shanhai Film and Television.

What kind of vision is this? You can't even look down on this top web drama?

So he just took the time to rethink it - should he separate the creation locations of online literature and IP-oriented literature, and find another website to write literature for film and television adaptations?

After all, every profession has its specialties.

Unexpectedly, just after the decision was made, the editor-in-chief turned against him?

Zhijianyan: "I forgot to tell you, the news the editor-in-chief just gave me may be a little different from what I just said. Your script should be completed."

Damn, that’s what I told you!
"Is the news authentic this time?"

Zhijianyan: "It's almost certain. Shanhai has taken the photocopy back for discussion. I think we'll have accurate information soon."

"If you are hired, they may meet you in person. You'd better prepare yourself."

"Okay, thank you Yanda."

"You're welcome. Come on, let's try to monetize 'Nirvana in Fire'!"

After the chat, Zhou Hao let out a long sigh.

After a close call, I passed the test!

"Ding--"

"The side quest "Rookie Screenwriter" has been completed. The quest reward has been issued. Please check."

When I opened the reward library, I found three new "Memory Cards (Small)" inside.

"Memory Card (Small): After use, it can improve memory by 2 points. This card is a directional ability card and can be used continuously with immediate effect."

This is good!
Three memory cards were used up in one go, and the "Memory" on the attribute panel has risen to 76.

Close your eyes and recall "Nirvana in Fire"... Damn, I remember a lot more information!

It really works!
It's a pity that there are only three small cards. If only there were a few more...

Wait a moment.

Although I don’t have any directional cards anymore, I still have a few general ability cards left!
Go ahead, ability card (medium)!
Memory: 76→81!

It really works!

Close your eyes and try to recall it again… OK, I can basically reproduce most of it.

After this, the difficulty of being a plagiarist dropped sharply!

Damn it, if this damn system had given this benefit earlier, the previous two books would not have been written as soybean meal and big piglets.

But it’s better to be late than not!
What a pity, now there are only two lonely “Ability Cards (Small)” left.

If I could max out my memory... I could easily wipe out the entire online literature circle!
"System, there are no tasks to accept yet?"

"Ding—you have a new mission to accept."

What a coincidence, is it true?
Zhou Hao got excited and asked me what this…what is this thing? !

"New mission 'From Behind the Scenes to the Front': guest-starring as police officer Xiao Wang in 'Day and Night'. Mission completed after filming is finished."

"Mission Reward: Memory Card (Large) x1, unlock the entry "Master of Drama"."

"Term explanation: "Master of Drama" - Improves the acting skills of the actors you are acting with. The degree of improvement is determined by the host's own acting skills."
