Dream?

Alarm clock?

He Xiaofan was stunned.

He hadn't thought about this kind of question at all, okay?

The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and He Xiaofan couldn't answer.

Gu's mother Xiao Xiaofang smiled: "In my opinion, it's not, I'm afraid what really woke you up is the heartache of being fined after being late, right?"

"What's heartache or not, are all screenwriters independent teams, okay? It's very free, and you don't need to go to the company to punch in or anything. Gu Baichuan obviously knew a little better than Xiao Xiaofang, and his tone was a few decibels.

He Xiaofan smiled: "It's true, sometimes we receive a project and want to go to the capital with our team members to go to the magic capital, and the project producer locks us up in the hotel to write the script." ”

"Except for the fact that we were allowed to deliver the manuscript on time, there were no other special requirements, and it was quite free. ”

"So?" Xiao Xiaofang didn't know much about screenwriting, and said with a smile: "How boring it is to stay in a hotel, it feels like a small black house in our grocery supermarket." ”

"Eh, Aunt Xiao, you're right, it's like a little black house. After He Xiaofan drank two sips of Coke, he said: "But this way you can also calm down and write the script." ”

"The hotel rooms are actually quite good, what do you want, and the producer also gave us a life assistant. ”

As for what kind of actors are suitable for what kind of roles in the script, there will also be some promotional brochures for the actors in the hotel, including the economic companies they belong to, as well as the personal experiences of the actors, etc. ”

"However, most of these are small actors outside the third and fourth lines, and economic companies need to cooperate with these hotels in order to recommend their own actors. ”

Of course, the hotel also knows which screenwriters of the crew are locked up in each year and which room they are locked up in to write the script, so they will place the personal brochures of these actors on the desk in the screenwriter's room in advance before moving in. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Gu Baichuan was stunned for a moment, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that publicity is really important, and the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys." ”

Glancing at He Xiaofan, Gu Baichuan asked again: "That Xiaofan, you are a screenwriter in the crew, or a signed screenwriter, so you should have the right, right?"

"Poof!" Listening to his father Gu Baichuan teasing He Xiaofan, Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Gu Baichuan looked back: "Son, what are you laughing at?"

"The signed screenwriter is powerful, but the pressure to bear is also quite great, in fact, in the crew, the screenwriter should be regarded as a model worker, right? The director said that if you change the script, you have to change it, and maybe the time to change the script is enough to write several new dramas. ”

"Gu Chen, you still understand me. He Xiaofan seemed to have found resonance, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Gu, Aunt Xiao, what you care about may be that I can sign the screenwriter in the play." ”

"But what we're concerned about is that there are all kinds of signatures on the script, what are the specific meanings of each? Will they be cheated?"

"How should there be a specific division of labor between each post? How to standardize the signature? Is there any room for infringement? How to submit the award for fair and reasonable?"

"Anyway, in a word, we are more concerned about the establishment of rules and regulations, because it is too common for the screenwriter team to fight wits and courage with the producer, and we have to pay attention to everything. ”

Glancing at Gu Chen, He Xiaofan casually found a stool to sit down first, and couldn't help but say: "You participate in small projects and small script creation, so there are not so many requirements, but once it comes to big projects, there are too many stakeholders involved." ”

"At every turn, there are several investors to inject capital into the project, 100 million projects, and soon there will be new investors to join, 100 million will become 200 million, 300 million, everyone wants a piece of the pie, so what should I do?"

Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang looked at each other, and both shook their heads.

"Then you have to distribute the benefits, after all, it is a win-win project, so it is very troublesome to coordinate the distribution of benefits, if it is an old partner, there may not be so many problems, if it is a new partner, then you have to sit down with several parties and have a good talk. ”

"In this way, do you have to keep revising your script?" Gu Chen asked weakly.

He Xiaofan slapped his thigh: "That's right, because different producers have cooperative screenwriting teams in their hands, and the issue of authorship is very troublesome." ”

"Sometimes we would rather get a little less screenwriting fee, and we have to sign it, because being able to participate in such a big project is your intangible wealth. ”

Gu Chen blushed thoughtfully: "Then I usually watch dramas, there are some big productions, it seems that there are a lot of signatures, it seems that there are a lot of directors and screenwriters alone, and I am dazzled, what is going on?"

"Haha. Seeing that Gu Chen really didn't understand, He Xiaofan smiled: "Gu Chen, you don't know this, right?"

"If you do a professional analysis, then the signature related to the script has many different meanings. ”

After readjusting his sitting posture, He Xiaofan raised his fingers and said, "Let me give you an example, just ...... It's not a complete statistic, this ...... There are various types of signatures related to scripts, such as chief screenwriter, screenwriter, co-screenwriter, adapted screenwriter, literary director, script producer, script director, script editor, literary editor, script planner, literary planner, etc. ”

Gu Chen: "......"

"So much?"

"What do you think?" He Xiaofan took a sip of Coke, and also pouted and smiled: "But you see that these signatures are dazzling, but on the whole, they are nothing more than these three categories." ”

"What screenwriters, producers, and planners, specific to screenwriting positions, the division of labor between chief screenwriters, screenwriters, and co-screenwriters is different. ”

"Take the relationship between the chief screenwriter and the screenwriter as an example, in fact, it is the relationship between the part and the whole, and from the project as a whole, the chief screenwriter is the project initiator. ”

The chief screenwriter is responsible for the overall concept and artistic quality of the play, such as the structure, plot context, character relationships and directions. ”

When Gu Chen heard this, he also nodded silently: "In that case, some chief screenwriters only say but don't write, some will write outlines, and some will write one or two episodes to make a sample, but most of the chief screenwriters do the work of outlining and leading?"

He Xiaofan was startled, slapped his face and pointed at Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, your comprehension ability is very high." ”

"I'm talking nonsense, after all, I don't understand. Gu Chen found that the little flower cat who had drunk pots of milk at the door had already meowed at his feet at this moment.

So Gu Chen tore off half of the piece of bread on the table and threw it into the stainless steel basin at the door.

"Meow!" the little flower cat screamed excitedly, and with a "whoosh" rushed to the door again to forage for food.

"It's too accurate, isn't it?" He Xiaofan looked at Gu Chen's divine operation, and couldn't help but desert for a while, and then returned to the topic:

"Actually, what you just said is right, but as far as the chief screenwriters I have come into contact with, they are generally divided into these two types. ”

"One is for the chief screenwriter to finish the entire episodes and scenes and hand them over to some screenwriters to deal with. ”

"There is another kind of chief screenwriter who is a little more leisurely, and generally let four or five screenwriters be responsible for different units, and finally he will integrate them. ”

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and couldn't help but say: "Then if it is the first type of chief screenwriter, then he is undoubtedly the soul and core of the script." ”

"So in this way, the screenwriter who completes the text for him is relatively highly replaceable, and this kind of creation is equivalent to being completed independently, and he should also enjoy the right of independent authorship, right?"

"Yes. He Xiaofan nodded silently, but he also said with a depressed face: "But the producer is the father, whether you can sign independently depends on your character, especially for big productions, it's like playing scratch music, it all depends on luck, and you have to fight for it with the producer." ”

"But there's another concept in this, and that's editing. ”

"Editorial, what the hell is the editorial??, is it the Commission for Discipline Inspection?" Xiao Xiaofang didn't know why, and couldn't help but say.

He Xiaofan covered his face, and said with a smile: "Aunt Xiao, you are really funny, in fact, the status of the editor is very important, such as the editor in Hong Kong City, which is actually almost equal to the chief screenwriter on our side." ”

"However, this concept has also been introduced in the mainland for a while, but the mainland's signature 'editor' has no copyright, and there is no way to report it when applying for awards, so it can only be reported to the screenwriter or chief screenwriter. ”

"So the concept of 'editing' disappeared after a flash in the pan in the mainland. ”

"So that's the case, is this signature so important?" Gu Baichuan felt that these various lines were like a mountain, and many things would indeed be incomprehensible if they were not said by professionals.

Everyone only sees the participants on the screen, but more people may not even have the right to sign, and only take money without signing.

Gu Chen also nodded slightly, and asked He Xiaofan: "But no matter what, the role of the chief screenwriter is there, in fact, whether you can sign it or not, just like the relationship between the characters, the core conflict, the selling point and the highlights, the top priority of these dramas must be completed by the chief screenwriter alone, right?"

"You're right. Seeing that he had finished drinking Coke, He Xiaofan looked at the freezer.

Gu Chen comprehended, and directly took out a bottle of Sprite and handed it to him: "I invite you." ”

"Thanks, it's mainly because it's hot outside. He Xiaofan wiped the beads of sweat from the corner of his forehead, and then opened Sprite and took a few sips.

Gu Chen opened a pack of napkins, took out two and handed them to him: "Wipe your face too." ”

"Uh-huh. He Xiaofan continued to take the napkin and began to wipe the dirt off his face.

Gu Chen was suddenly fascinated by what he heard, and he also leaned on the table and asked him: "Brother He, you said that the role of the chief screenwriter is so big, isn't it as big as an overall outline of tens of thousands of words, as small as a detailed episode synopsis, and many chief screenwriters have to get started in person?"

"Huh. Seeing Gu Chen's curiosity, especially for the sake of Gu Chen giving him a bottle of Sprite, He Xiaofan laughed dryly and was still willing to communicate.

"Gu Chen, you must know that there is a very important thing in the TV series, called rhythm, the control of rhythm is the most important skill of the chief screenwriter, and the screenwriter should listen more to the ideas of some chief screenwriters. ”

"For co-screenwriters, they are generally common combinations, partners, or modular writing that divides the number of episodes, or is completed by a master and apprentice. ”

However, most of the co-screenwriters' cooperation is not long-lasting, and the distribution of interests and the before and after of the signature are all points of concentration of contradictions. ”

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said with a light smile: "The 'co-screenwriter' you are talking about should be a co-screenwriter with a co-signature, not a co-screenwriter under the leadership of the chief screenwriter, right?"

"Yes. He Xiaofan smiled and said: "But there is a very interesting thing in this, that is, the combination of men and women, there is no contradiction, everyone is very easy to talk." ”

"But when it comes to man-man cooperation, or women-woman cooperation, it may not be so simple, the competition between people of the same sex, sometimes beyond your imagination, of course, there are individuals who get along happily, but only a few. ”

"Peers are enemies, and this is also true in business. Gu Baichuan, who kept the book, grinned, and said lightly: "Take my non-staple food supermarket as an example, everyone started to open non-staple food supermarkets around me as soon as they saw that I was making money." ”

"But what is the result? The closure of the door, the transfer of the transfer, even if there is a large shopping mall around the community, it has a little impact on me, but it is not a big problem, how can I make money? ”

"Because my family's grocery supermarket has a core, that is, I am not bullied, the neighbors trust me, word of mouth, and I get the certificate of integrity management every year, which is the official certification. ”

"Dad, can we keep a low profile?" Gu Chen felt that Gu Baichuan was high-profile, which sometimes made people feel very ashamed.

"The family's business has been in business for so many years, do you say that the industry and commerce can not give you a plaque of honest management?"

He Xiaofan also smiled and said: "Uncle Gu's core competitiveness is there, and no one can shake it, and it is not interesting for your peers to find themselves here because your own strength is excellent." ”

"But in our screenwriting industry, there are too many unspeakable hardships, mainly because the division of labor is different, and everyone has contributions, so why can't we sign it?"

"Or if you have a signature, why don't I have it? ”

"Oh, too. Gu Chen nodded silently, and agreed with He Xiaofan's words, so he continued to ask him: "Then isn't there any way to solve this kind of problem?"

"Yes. Seeing that Gu Chen was still too young, He Xiaofan said with a smile: "There are a few bigwigs in our screenwriting industry who have created the bamboo style writing between plum blossoms. ”

"How to write bamboo between plum blossoms?"

Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang spoke in unison, and the two looked at each other, but they didn't know why.

Gu Chen frowned, and asked He Xiaofan curiously: "Is this way of writing one person writing one episode, alternately?"

"Gu Chen, it seems that you are very smart, you have already understood this way of writing in the literal sense. He Xiaofan also didn't expect that Gu Chen could understand this kind of thing that was completely incomprehensible to laymen, and Gu Chen could understand it literally.

So he smiled and said: "That's right, it's just one person writing an episode and alternating it, but this requires a very tacit understanding." ”

"If the text of the two screenwriters is getting closer and closer, then even the big directors who have worked with them for a long time will not be able to tell who wrote which part later. ”

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and suddenly remembered a new drama recently released by He Xiaofan, so he asked him curiously: "Then Brother He's new drama, the signature should be the co-screenwriter, right?"

"Yes, it's a co-screenwriter, and I get a lot less paid for my signature, which makes me feel distressed to think about it. He Xiaofan drank the Sprite given by Gu Chen, and couldn't help complaining.

Of course, Gu Chen can also understand that fame and money are sometimes like the relationship between fish and bear's paws, and they cannot be both.

But fame and fortune are equal to future wealth, at least it shows that you are worth this price.

Gu Chen now finally understands why He Xiaofan is reluctant to accept the garbage project, even if he has a lot of money.

Maybe that's where his current predicament lies?

It was rare to meet a screenwriter insider like He Xiaofan in his own grocery supermarket, Gu Chen still held a modest attitude and asked him for advice: "Then how long will it take for Brother He to complete the creation of an episode of the script?"

"This ......"

He Xiaofan was stunned for a few seconds, and after pondering for a few seconds, he smiled and said, "This ...... can only be calculated, a screenwriter can complete 3,000 to 5,000 words a day with quality and quantity. ”

"That's about ...... You can complete an episode of the script in 5 days, and with a break, you can complete 5 episodes in a month. ”

Looking up at the clouds outside, He Xiaofan calculated for a few seconds, and then said: "Assuming it is a script of 30 episodes, then it will take at least half a year to create." ”

"Coupled with intermediate interference and adjustments, it takes a year to complete the work, but in fact, many film and television dramas are eager to ask you to complete the work in 5 or 6 months. ”

"Therefore, one person cannot complete the whole project alone, so you need a helper, several people to complete it together. ”

"So that's the case?" Gu Chen finally knew something, and felt that doing this kind of project was the same as doing a water conservancy project, and it would take a long time.

It's not that you just set up a project and you can produce it in half a year, which is completely unrealistic.

Thinking of the new drama that is now addicted, Gu Chen continued to ask He Xiaofan: "Then now that the work you wrote is being released, isn't it the result of your work a few years ago?"

"That's it, who said it wasn't?" He Xiaofan said with a smile: "So the famous cycle is too long, if you can't find a new project during this cycle, you have to go hungry." ”

"But if you have a good relationship with the script producer, maybe you can continue to cooperate, this script producer, although not the chief screenwriter, is actually the person responsible for the play, but there is no copyright. ”

"Generally, if you can sign this signature, it belongs to the script producer, who has a certain amount of support and help to the screenwriter, and most of them have more teacher-student relationships and more friends. ”

was afraid that Gu Chen wouldn't understand, so He Xiaofan said again: "For example, some cross-border screenwriters, they may have some fame in their original fields, such as authors, actors, and the like." ”

"If they come to be screenwriters, they need to improve their screenwriting skills, right? ”

And the script producer is mainly to help the screenwriter control the theme and direction, not to dominate but everywhere. ”

"It's more of a help for some talented newbies, more technical, less administrative. ”

Speaking of this, He Xiaofan also sighed with emotion, and said: "I entered the screenwriter industry from the author, and it was also thanks to the support of my script producer friend, but now this guy is entangled in a lawsuit and is already exhausted, and I am also trying to help him as much as possible." ”
