Chapter 243 A screenwriter who is good at writing suspense and thrillers
"The company hasn't been established yet, so you are considered a reserve employee. I will give you a basic salary of 60 yuan. You can write scripts at home. What kind of scripts are you good at?"
Xia Qingqing's thoughts jumped quickly, and Jin Yinghui was completely led by her rhythm. He said honestly: "I personally like to write suspense and horror themes. My boss doesn't like them, so I haven't written many scripts. Only three of them were made into movies."
He mentioned three movies and Xia Qingqing was stunned, a little surprised.
She has seen two of these three movies, both of which were war films mixed with some love elements and some suspense and thriller. She remembered that she watched them when the school organized a movie viewing, and they scared the students in the cinema to tears.
"I've seen it, it's a pretty good suspense thriller. Can you write an action movie? No, that doesn't make sense to you. Do you have any relatives in Hong Kong? Or Southeast Asia is also OK?"
Jin Yinghui couldn't keep up with Xia Qingqing's train of thought. He asked, "What kind of movie is an action movie?"
"I can't explain it to you clearly. Answer me first, do you have any relatives overseas?"
"Yes, my uncle and eldest uncle are both in Indonesia, but we haven't been in touch for a long time."
Jin Yinghui looked gloomy. His father and his two brothers all went to Southeast Asia before liberation and made a lot of money. At that time, the inland was in chaos due to constant bombardment. His uncle and eldest uncle wisely stayed in Indonesia and even got married and settled down there.
His father returned to his country because he was engaged to his mother and was not used to the climate and food in Indonesia. His parents had a very good relationship, but unfortunately something happened at home a few years ago. His parents were anxious and scared, and both fell ill. However, he did not suffer much, as he was the one who sent them off.
After that, he also had bad luck and went to the Northwest Farm.
Recalling the past, Jin Yinghui couldn't help but smile bitterly. His experiences could be written into a novel.
"Are you still in touch with your uncle?" Xia Qingqing asked.
"After I went to the Northwest Farm, we lost contact. Before that, they often sent money and wrote letters."
Xia Qingqing asked him for the address and name of his uncle and aunt in Indonesia, and then asked Mrs. Lin to help find out.
Southeast Asia is Mrs. Lin's territory, so she will definitely be able to find out.
"Here's what I think. The film industry in Hong Kong is booming right now. The types of films they make are completely different from ours. Action films, gunfight films, crime films, zombie thrillers and comedies are all popular there. I can't explain them to you in a short time. It would be best if you lived there and experienced the film atmosphere there in person. Only then can you write an excellent script. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xia Qingqing expressed her thoughts. No matter how talented Jin Yinghui is, he can't write a good script out of thin air. It will definitely not work if he works in isolation. He has to go to live in Hong Kong.
It would be easy for him since he has relatives in Indonesia. Now the only legal way to go to Hong Kong from the inland is to have direct relatives in Hong Kong and overseas. Otherwise, you can only sneak there.
[The author has checked this history. At that time, this was the only legal way. Big stars like Liu Mouling and Li Tianwang went to Hong Kong in this way. Therefore, there were still many secret travelers in the early 1980s.]
Jin Yinghui nodded, "I understand. If you can help me contact my uncle, I can go over there!"
He originally had plans to go to Hong Kong City, but he had no money and no connections, so he could only think about it in his mind.
"How can I get there? I don't have any relatives overseas."
Shui Lihua was anxious. She also wanted to study and make progress, and she couldn't bear to leave Jin Yinghui.
After waiting for Jin Yinghui for so many years, she has become an old maid.
"It's simple. Just marry screenwriter Jin. When he goes to Hong Kong, you can go there legally." Xia Qingqing said with a smile.
"It's not up to me to decide."
Shui Lihua blushed and stole a glance at Jin Yinghui with hope in her eyes, wanting to hear a positive answer from her lover.
Jin Yinghui didn't say anything for a long time. Shui Lihua's heart sank slowly. The shyness on her face turned into shame. She forced a smile and said, "I still won't go. I was born and raised in Shanghai. I will definitely not be able to get used to the food in Hong Kong."
Although her acting skills were excellent, her eyes still turned red. Shui Lihua turned her head away, not wanting others to see that she was sad.
Xia Qingqing frowned. She must have seen it right. Jin Yinghui had feelings for Shui Lihua. Just now, when the waiter served the soup, the bowl tilted and the soup splashed out. He used his hand to block it so that the soup did not splash onto Shui Lihua.
If he had no feelings for Shui Lihua, how could he be so attentive and caring towards her?
Unless Jin Yinghui is a scumbag who has slept with countless women.
"I have no money and no job now. I live in a small room and can't even support myself. If you marry me, you will only suffer." Jin Yinghui spoke with a bitter tone.
He did have feelings for Shui Lihua, but he didn't want to implicate the girl.
Just when he was about to confess his love to Shui Lihua, he met with misfortune and was sent to the Northwest Farm. It was impossible for him to confess his love at this time and implicate the innocent Shui Lihua.
During those years on the farm, he received a letter from Shui Lihua saying that she would wait for him. He was very touched, but also felt even more guilty, so he wrote some unpleasant words in his reply, hoping that Shui Lihua would forget him.
But Shui Lihua was too stubborn. She kept waiting for him from the age of 20 to 30, and never got married.
He thought he could start a new life after being transferred back to the city, but the film studio refused to accept him and transferred him to a street shoe factory. In such a dirty and messy environment, he could not see any future at all, and he did not dare to agree to Shui Lihua.
He could only pretend to be indifferent, but he still couldn't make Shui Lihua give up. Jin Yinghui felt more and more touched, but also more guilty.
Many times he wanted to give in and agree to Shui Lihua, but he was afraid of harming the girl.
He has relatives overseas and has made mistakes in the past. No one can be sure whether he will make the same mistake again in the future. During those years on the Northwest Farm, he had a life-and-death experience and almost died.
But he is still lucky. Some beautiful lesbians live even more miserable lives. Jin Yinghui doesn't want Shui Lihua to fall to that level.
When Jin Yinghui thought of the tragic fate of those beautiful comrades on the farm, his heart cooled and he continued to distance himself from Shui Lihua.
Now that he has the opportunity to go to Gangcheng and get away from here, Jin Yinghui's heart is also burning with excitement. If possible, he wants to take Shui Lihua with him to live in Gangcheng.
But he was still a little nervous, so he wanted to ask clearly.
"I'm not afraid of hardship, and you're earning 60 yuan now, so how can it be hard?"
Shui Lihua was so happy that her whole body was glowing and she became radiant.
"Jin Yinghui, you can't go back on your word. Let's go get the certificate now!"
Shui Lihua suddenly stood up and pulled hard. Jin Yinghui was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground.
"Are you going to regret it? Humph, there's no point in regretting it. I don't agree. Let's go!"
"I don't regret it, but I can't get the certificate now. I will get it after I contact my uncle and uncle."
Jin Yinghui patiently explained that he was scared and it was better to be cautious in everything.
Once he has contacted his uncle and his uncle, it will be almost certain that he will be able to go to Hong Kong City, so that he can get the marriage certificate with Shui Lihua without any worries.
