Chapter 14: Another screenwriter (recommendation ticket)

Z: "I'm going to Jialiang Film and Television to test the script today, and lend me your good luck!"

Only two sleeps in three days: "The project I'm leading is about to begin. You should lend me some good luck."

Z: "Well, let me lend you some good luck."

Only two sleeps in three days: "Why? Aren't you afraid that the script won't pass?"

Z: Sunglasses) My script is absolutely impossible to fail!"

Only two sleeps in three days: "Since you are so confident, there is absolutely no problem with my project!"

...

"I am not self-confident, what does it have to do with your project?"

Zhang Yun shook his head and smiled as he looked at the reply on the phone after only two sleeps in three days.

Time always has a taste of metaphysics. Sometimes you feel that it passes very slowly-such as in class; sometimes you feel that it passes too fast-such as when you write math problems.

Since the last time he received the script invitation from Jialiang Film and Television, Zhang Yun has entered a state of retreat. In just one week, a suspense script was born under Zhang Yun.

As we all know, there are seven days in a week.

This sentence is nonsense.

In seven days, if it's just codewords, it's very easy to write the outline of the script, plus the plots of each scene in the first four episodes.

But creation has never been done only by codewords. Codewords are the easiest thing, and it is the most difficult thing to come up with an idea that is unique and innovative, and that is loved by the audience.

And Zhang Yun saved this time.

He copied the ready-made ones directly.

Because he must seize this opportunity to ensure that his script is extremely popular!

Seeing this, there may be a big book friend asking: why Zhang Yun is a screenwriter himself, and he has to copy someone else's?

It is impossible for any screenwriter to guarantee that one hundred percent of his work will become popular after it is published.

In many cases, the screenwriter feels good about himself, the producer thinks it is good, and the director appreciates it. As a result, it is filmed according to the script, but the audience does not buy it.

There are too many such situations, and Zhang Yun himself has been planted several times.

Just think about it, after the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, which has satiated the appetite of players, large-scale refunds have been generated. Literary works, which are more variable, are naturally more difficult to guarantee that they will become popular when they are written.

Therefore, the safest way is to copy off-the-shelf works. After all, off-the-shelf works have been tested by the market once, and even if you get the parallel world, you will surely be able to make sure that you will not lose money.

Of course, this is just casual talk.

The real reason is actually-I write original scripts, where can everyone find a sense of substitution!

"Mr. Zhang is it?"

Just as Zhang Yun walked into Jialiang Film and Television Company, a graceful mature woman in professional attire came over.

The woman looks like she is in her thirties. Although she is very mature, she doesn't have many traces of years on her face. She wears light makeup and is beautiful. Even if she was just standing there, her body exuded a seductive charm of crime.

This kind of charm... how do you say proper nouns?

"Yes, my name is Zhang Yun."

Zhang Yun glanced at the woman politely, then immediately nodded seriously and responded.

This kind of politeness makes women feel very comfortable. She smiled and said, "My name is Qi Xiaoyun, and I belong to the planning department. Mr. Zhang seems to have come a bit early, now..."

The woman named Qi Xiaoyun glanced at the woman's watch in her hand: "Nine and forty."

Zhang Yun smiled and said, "If you want to be there on time, the best way is to arrive early."

"This method is good." Qi Xiaoyun blinked, "but you may have to wait a little longer here, because the planning department is looking at another screenwriter's script."

Is this kind of thing so easy to say? Shouldn't it be kept secret?

Zhang Yun didn't expect Qi Xiaoyun to say so directly about more than one screenwriter coming today. But he just turned the idea around in his mind, and said: "No problem, I'm not in a hurry."

"Then you wait here, there is a drinking fountain over there, I might... have to go and see." Qi Xiaoyun said, pushing the door and leaving the reception room.

Zhang Yun was really thirsty. He took a glass of water with a disposable water cup and sat on the sofa, reading the novel with some boredom.

On the other hand, after Qi Xiaoyun left the reception room, she went to the office of the planning department while recalling the conversation and performance of Zhang Yun just now.

"I feel like a very polite young man, how can I offend Hua Yao?"

Qi Xiaoyun said to herself.

Walking into the office, the company executives, including the boss Li Jialiang, are there. Qi Xiaoyun walked in without making any sound, sat down to the side, and picked up the stack of bound A4 papers in front of him.

Script: "Chasing the Murder"

On the A4 paper cover, there are four words written on it.

Qi Xiaoyun opened the script, glanced briefly, and then cast his gaze on the young man with a comfortable expression on the opposite side.

The young man is called Yu Chaobei, and it seems that he has only become a professional screenwriter for about half a year. But in the past six months, he has sold two online scripts. A 25-episode "Next Junction·Love", and a 30-episode "If Love Has Providence".

The former will be broadcast on the network platform soon, while the latter has already begun preparatory work, and the filming will be finished sooner or later.

Although I haven't seen what the two scripts are, I don't know what the reputation of the web series will be after it is broadcast. But because of his young age, he sold two books in only half a year. The boss Li Jialiang recognized his screenwriting skills and invited him to try suspense topics he had never encountered before.

"Well, the script is good!"

Qi Xiaoyun was thinking, Li Jialiang, the boss of the company sitting in the middle, raised his head and said.

Oops, I just saw a cover.

Qi Xiaoyun screamed horribly, quickly opened the script and read it carefully.

This script...Although it doesn't seem to be a problem, the subject matter seems pretty old-fashioned.

After reading the outline, Qi Xiaoyun thought so.

The script of "Chasing the Murder" is like most police and gangster movies. A police officer who was deeply blamed for his mistakes encountered a new innocent policewoman who was a fan of police officers. He came here to encourage him. The old police officer's.

The two made some jokes and rubbed a little spark. Then, on a certain day, a new case happened and brought the old police officer back to the memory of the past. Because of this case, it was the murderer who killed a good friend in the past!

So, the old police officer and the female police teamed up to stage a chasing scene with the gangster...

It's probably such a plot. Qi Xiaoyun has never taken a screenwriting class, but she is also in the planning department. She has reviewed multiple scripts. She has also watched this kind of routine.

For example, the guilty old policeman is foreshadowing the image of the old policeman behind, and people with stories are more likely to arouse the curiosity of the audience.

Another example is the new policewoman. Why should we emphasize that it is a "newcomer" or a "policewoman"? "Newcomers" can promote the development of the plot, enrich the image of the old policeman, and ask some stupid questions on behalf of the audience.

And the arrangement of the "policewoman"...this is the heroine!

Of course, this is actually an internal rule of the screenwriting industry.

Just like in many TV shows, the father can only save his daughter, he can never save his son.

If you don't believe me, you carefully recall the memories.

This kind of setting, there is no problem, but the novelty is naturally gone. Whether it's good or bad depends entirely on the plot.

Qi Xiaoyun watched the plot of "Chasing the Fierce" and could only say that it was quite satisfactory, as if he was still a little away from the boss's goal.

but……

Qi Xiaoyun thought about the price offered by the company and the screenwriters he had come to before. It is already quite good to find such a script.

"That is to say, my script has passed?" Hearing Li Jialiang's words, Yu Chaobei's pretended calmness was gone, and asked with some joy.

Li Jialiang nodded and said, "Well, it is a high probability. If there is no problem, we will sign the contract after a while."

"Okay, no problem...Wait, what do you mean after a while?" Yu Chaobei replied, but suddenly reacted.

Now that it has been passed, shouldn't it be... Sign the contract right away?

Hearing Yu Chaobei's question, Li Jialiang said helplessly: "Well... the investor's investment this time has an additional condition. They have to send a screenwriter..."
