Chapter 118: The screenwriter also rolls the play?
Thank you for a little and a half love and your hello Shuyou's reward~~~
..........................................
A crew is special only for the director and actors, and the screenwriter is actually no different from other staff.
Zhang Bufan actually knew this from before he stepped into this circle, and during the promotion of "People in Embarrassment", he realized it more deeply.
Because the propaganda period was too short and the propaganda task was heavy, Zhang Bufan and the three of them not only had to travel back and forth between various cities in a short period of time, but sometimes they had to form an army independently and go to different cities to carry out propaganda.
In these promotions, whether it is a variety show or an interview or other type of program, the screenwriter is always the least part of the host's questions about Zhang Bufan, and he will basically mention his Golden Horse Award and Berlin Silver Bear to increase his weight, but in addition, they are obviously more interested in Zhang Bufan's actor part in "People in Embarrassment", and even Zhang Bufan's identity as a chef and his role in "Everyday Upward" The attention of those talents displayed in is much higher than that of him as a screenwriter.
Of course, Zhang Bufan knows that this is not to blame these program groups, like this program, they are more to meet the taste of the audience, and they ask such questions, which actually means that the audience, that is, ordinary people are more interested in these things.
And Zhang Bufan also knows that this situation is not only in China, in fact, it is the same all over the world, in this world, the only people who are famous as screenwriters are only a handful of people who are at the top of the pyramid, such as the old man who wrote "A Song of Ice and Fire", his fame even exceeds the sum of the rest of the entire crew.
In fact, Zhang Bufan doesn't pay much attention to fame, his fame comes more from various coincidences, and he has never operated it himself, so from this aspect alone, he doesn't really care about this imbalance.
It's only occasionally that I think that in the case of almost the same amount of work, the screenwriter's final gain is much worse than that of the director and actors, and I feel a little uncomfortable.
There is indeed only one point, firstly, because Zhang Bufan is a little rich, and secondly, because in this "comparison chain" of the crew, the screenwriter is not at the bottom, like lighting props and the like, under the same circumstances, he gets less than the screenwriter.
So why do you bring this topic up? First, because it's a little bit of a lesson learned from this recent campaign, and secondly, because of some of the conversations between Guan Hu and him.
That's right, when he returned to the capital for publicity, Guan Hu, who had not been in touch for a while, found him.
"Hey, did you take Ning Hao's notebook?" this was the first sentence Guan Hu said.
"Yes, how do you know?" Zhang Bufan's first reaction was that this product would not also go to Jingying, and then heard the rumors from which student, right?
"Nonsense, people's formal contracts have been sent to the company. Guan Hu said angrily.
"Huh?" Zhang Bufan was stunned.
"Oh......" reacted.
If Guan Hu didn't mention it, he really forgot that his screenwriting agency contract had been signed in Seven Impressions.
Of course, this can't be completely blamed on him, when he signed the economic contract, he said that it was to deal with things like Ning Hao asking him to get a book, but in fact, Jiu Lang Weibo and his cooperation contract had been signed before that, and "People in Embarrassment" simply didn't sign a screenwriting contract with him because of his complex identity, so he never used it since he signed the contract, and naturally forgot about it.
"Remembered?" Guan Hu glanced at him and said teasingly: "Hey, how did you bribe people? I didn't say anything about coming to you in person, even the contract was given to you with the highest standard in your circle, I had only heard of actors' inflated salaries before, and you may be the first number one in the screenwriting industry." ”
Zhang Bufan didn't answer his stubble, and asked, "Just for this matter, you ran to me? No, right? It's obviously just a phone call." Oh, by the way, how much did he give?"
Although he is already a little rich, it is normal to care about his own money, right?
"500,000. Guan Hu replied.
"That's pretty high. Zhang Bufan thought about it, this script, he is really just a co-screenwriter, because Ning Hao is also making a book himself, in comparison, the screenwriter of "People in Embarrassment" finally only hung his name, and almost completely recreated himself, as a result, he also has to count his actor's salary, adding up to 500,000 yuan Xu Zheng calculated for him, you can imagine how much the screenwriter is counting.
Then he thought about it, "This is actually okay, if it is compared with his own director's salary and the actor's salary, it is nothing." ”
"What's the matter? This is starting to feel that this circle is unfair?" Guan Hu belongs to the kind of person who can see the essence through the phenomenon, especially when he knows Zhang Bufan so well, of course he knows that this product is not just a simple complaint about the remuneration, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "No way, this phenomenon has been like this since ancient times, and it can't be changed, why don't you look up anymore, those who invest and open theaters, which one doesn't make more money than us? Where do you go to reason about this?"
Zhang Bufan also shrugged his shoulders and stopped continuing this topic, he also knew that it was pointless to continue this topic, so he turned to ask: "Hey, you haven't said what you are doing here with me? Don't tell me it's just for a meal." ”
"Do you think I'm as good as you?" Guan Hu glanced at him and said, "Do you remember when I told you that I'm also working on a new movie?"
"I remember. Zhang Bufan replied.
"Then why do you still take Ning Hao's notebook?" asked Guan Hu.
"You haven't written a word about the movie yet, okay, and Ning Hao's movie is also not in a hurry, I see what he means, if the script is not polished well, it will not be carried out at all, and it is estimated that it will be next year when filming starts, so much time, what am I anxious about, no, what are you anxious about?" Zhang Bufan asked rhetorically.
"Filming will start next year? That's interesting, my movie is now planned to start filming next year, heh, I hope you can stagger the time then, otherwise I will personally go to the crew to carry you." While talking, boasting, a notebook slapped on the table, and at the same time sneered: "When the time comes, you will be popular again, I even have the name of the press release in mind, just call it 'Famous director fights for screenwriters'!"
After speaking, Ya got up from the stool, and felt that she was not completely full, so she simply stood and picked two pieces of shiny braised pork with chopsticks, and then turned around and left away with satisfaction, and left a sentence before leaving.
"You are not only the first person in the screenwriting industry to have a salary premium, but also the first person in the screenwriting industry, you are awesome!"
