Speaking of "ghost talent screenwriter", I have to mention one person, that is, Ning Caishen.
At that time, a "Wulin Wai Biography" became popular in the north and south of the river, and it directly praised a large number of actors in the red drama.
As a screenwriter, Ning Caishen also became famous in one fell swoop.
In fact, before Ning Caishen became a screenwriter, he was already full of "genius-like" legendary road.
Only later, once it was lost into thousands of ancient hatreds, did it gradually fade away.
From "genius teenager" to "ghost screenwriter" to counterattack after taking drugs and retiring, Ning Caishen's life path is extraordinary.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01</h1>
In 1975, Ning Caishen was born in Shanghai, his original name was Chen Wanning.
His father was one of the first futures practitioners of that year, known as the "old naughty boy of futures".
Moreover, when my father was studying, his grades were also very good and full of talent.
It may be that he was lucky to inherit his father's good genes, and Ning Caishen was also a "genius teenager" since he was a child.
When Ning Caishen was a child, he was smarter and wittier than others, unique and talented.
He started his studies at the age of 5, and his grades have always been among the best, and he has jumped several levels.
"The second year of junior high school was really boring, and I jumped another level."
Finally, he was admitted to East China University of Science and Technology and studied international finance.
The year he entered college, he was only 15 years old.
Later, when he was called a "genius teenager", he responded like this:
"The real teenage geniuses are people who go to college at the age of seven or eight, and I don't count at all."
When he was in college, Ning Caishen first showed his amazing business talent and talent.
When he was planning how to spend the boring summer vacation, he had the idea of doing business with his classmates.
He decided to go to the graduating class and collect the notes, materials, textbooks, etc. of the senior students at the price of waste paper.
Then, after receiving them, Ning Caishen bound these books, notes, and materials into a book and sorted them into treasures.
Then it was sold as valuable learning materials, and a dozen yuan were earned.
From this incident, it can be seen that Ning Caishen is an extremely toss-and-turn and extremely intelligent person.
During his college years, Ning Caishen never stopped.
Either on the way to making money or on the way to getting rich.
Later, he aimed the market at CDs, clothing stores, and jewelry.
He also hired someone to help him do advertising agency in the summer vacation and became a small boss.
One of the biggest businesses he did in college was selling medical devices, and others were at ease studying and doing business to make money.
And then he said, "I'm just restless, and I do whatever I want to make money."
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">02</h1>
After graduating from college, Ning Caishen, like his father, ran to Beijing to start futures trading.
His first month as a futures broker earned hundreds of thousands.
It was 1994 and he was only 19 years old.
During that time, he was desperate to work, and every morning when he woke up, he ran to the computer to watch the market.
Later he said: "Doing futures is gambling, but it is not the same as gambling." ”
Such a tense work made Ning Caishen only sleep for an hour or two a day.
"No industry can do futures as fast and easy to get money, everything is in and out."
Unable to stop, he did not expect that in the end he would end up ruining his family because of greed.
Later, the famous "327 Incident" occurred in the trading market, and the national loss was 28 trillion yuan.
Ning Caishen also lost more than 3 million yuan in just a few days.
"I'm too greedy, and if I pull out and do something else when I have money, it's definitely a different story."
If I had only made commissions as an agent at that time, it would not have ended up like this. ”
All the money earned over the years fell into vain, leaving Ning Caishen into a trough in his life.
"I'm the one who's very nervous, and I'm particularly afraid of losing."
Stopping the tense and twisted futures work, Ning Caishen's heart was filled with a blank.
"Life suddenly stopped, like a big holiday."
After that, Ning Caishen turned around and did what he had wanted to do since he was a child.
He opened a design firm and started all over again from scratch.
During this time, Ning Caishen inadvertently discovered his talent for writing.
At this point, he happened to be talking about a girlfriend.
The romantic and talented Ning Caishen decided to make an exclusive magazine for his girlfriend to win a red smile.
Unexpectedly, this time, it was unexpectedly allowed Ning Caishen to open another peak of his life.
When writing this magazine, Ning Caishen found that he was extremely talented in writing things, and it was not difficult at all.
Later, he had the opportunity to upload all the articles he wrote to the Internet.
At the beginning, Ning Caishen wrote ghost stories, so he gave himself a net name called "Ning Caichen".
As a result, this name was used, so it was changed to "Ning Cai Shen", and the screen name replaced the real name.
In the 1990s, he published short stories such as "Contest" and "Summer of the Year of Honmei" on the Internet Literature Forum.
Unexpectedly gained a lot of readers, gradually became famous.
Ning Caishen, who had gained a great sense of accomplishment, decided to concentrate on writing and regard it as his new career direction.
"I think writing is an instinct for me."
In 1999, Ning Caishen returned to Shanghai and became the operation director of the "Under the Banyan Tree" website.
Later, it was called one of the "troikas" of online literature.
They are Li Xunhuan (Lu Jinbo), Xing Yusen and Ning Caishen.
A few years later, the road of Ning Caishen's "ghost talent screenwriter" was also quietly opened.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03</h1>
After the complete outbreak of the online literature boom, Ning Caishen, at the suggestion of his friend Yu Baimei, turned around and became a screenwriter.
Entering the film and television industry, the pressure is greater than writing online novels yourself.
As a result, Ning Caishen began to immerse himself in the retreat to create.
Every day and night, coffee and cigarettes became a necessity on his creative path.
In 2001, his first work as a screenwriter was The Networm Diaries.
As a result, he showed it to the writer Wang Shuo with great interest, and the result was hit.
Ning Caishen, who did not give up, later painstakingly wrote two sitcoms.
It's "Urban Men and Women" and "Health Express".
These two works directly ushered in a turning point in Ning Caishen's life and began to counterattack on the road of screenwriting.
In 2005, when Ning Caishen created "Urban Men and Women", he met the famous director Shang Jing.
Shang Jing greatly admired the talent of Ning Caishen, and he commented: "Compared with ordinary people, his imagination is really extraordinary. ”
One night, after drinking, they had a good conversation and decided to try a martial arts comedy together.
This work is the later classic "The Tale of Wulin".
The director is Shang Jing, and the screenwriter is still Ning Caishen.
In fact, the great success of "The Tale of Wulin" was purely an accident, and even Ning Caishen himself did not expect it to be so hot.
At that time, many people were not optimistic about this drama, and no one was willing to invest.
So the final cost of this drama is a mere ten million.
And it was after the official start was confirmed that Ning Caishen rushed out the next 50 episodes.
In 2006, "The Legend of Wulin" premiered on the CCTV TV drama channel.
As a result, once it was broadcast, the ratings soared, showing a trend of crushing other TV series.
Soon after, the drama was broadcast on major television stations.
Later, it was broadcast on TVB in Hong Kong and the eight major television stations in Taiwan, and the limelight was unparalleled.
"The Tale of Wulin" has been called "the pinnacle of domestic sitcoms".
Ning Caishen also became popular because of this, and was directly named "Ghost Talent Screenwriter" and reached the peak.
This year, he was 31 years old.
In the following years, he created many film and television works.
For example, there are comedies such as "Laughing Jianghu" and "Dragon Gate Dart Game", which are loved by the audience.
However, when he thought that Ning Caishen would create another classic, he fell from the peak to the trough.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">04</h1>
When Ning Caishen first wrote, he developed a habit of loving smoking.
Later, in order to inspire more creative inspiration, he changed from smoking to drug use.
This road of no return has also completely buried his creative career.
In 2014, Ning Caishen was controlled by the police for drug abuse, which detonated public opinion and self-destructed his future.
Later, he sold his Weibo account of 7.39 million followers to Hecaitou for the first time.
The price at that time was incomprehensible, worth 50 yuan.
For this matter, Ning Caishen said that he never regretted it.
Maybe I don't care about the title of the network big V for a long time, a bit of "joke life" meaning.
Since then, Ning Caishen has completely disappeared from the public eye, and no good works have appeared.
"Genius Fall" became all his label at the time, and he was 39 years old.
When people have long forgotten him, in 2017, Ning Caishen suddenly appeared in the public eye as an investor and CEO.
Disappeared for 3 years, he turned around and became the man behind Hi-Le film and television entertainment.
Hi Le Film and Television Entertainment has invested in the filming of classic film and television works such as "Ghost Blowing Lights" and "Blood Chang'an".
Today, the company's valuation is as high as 1.2 billion, and Ning Caishen holds 30% of the shares.
At that time, he only invested 3 million yuan, and now he is worth hundreds of millions of dollars after turning over, and he has made a comeback again.
Ning Caishen, who did not write a script, became a big investor and production master in the film and television industry.
And now it is a double harvest of career and family, and it has become a complete life.
He and his wife Cheng Jiao'e were in love at first sight, and they got married in a month or so, and they have been together so far.
There is a saying that you can't copy someone else's life.
Throughout Ning Caishen's life experience, from "genius teenager" to young achievements, he has already won on the starting line.
After several big ups and downs, and several successful counterattacks, there are indeed outstanding points that ordinary people can't match.
You will find that he seems to be "acting absurdly", but in fact, it makes people feel full of wisdom in life.
