Chapter 120: A mediocre script

Today, Cao Mulan convened a meeting, in addition to conveying the spirit of the literary symposium and discussing new scripts, another important thing is to introduce a new member to join.

Wen Jingcai.

He has been nominated for Best Screenplay at several major TV festivals for many times, and won the Best Screenplay Award at the 3rd Asian Rainbow Awards.

Last year, media people Gu Zuo arranged the "Writers Rich List of Screenwriters", and Wen Jingcai ranked 8th with an income of 26 million, causing a sensation.

It stands to reason that with his current status and his own company, there is really no need to join Universal Entertainment's screenwriting studio, if he wants to cooperate, he can also cooperate from public to public, but after receiving Cao Mulan's invitation, he didn't think long before choosing to accept.

Of course, the reason is Cao Mulan and Bai Qingyan's favor and face, and I am afraid that there are some factors such as Yu Sheng'an, Su Manling and others, and the most important thing is his own concern for the screenwriter group.

Only by forming an alliance can there be the power of unity, and only with the strength can we strive for more rights and interests for this industry.

Then again, without such in-depth cooperation, they can't enjoy more information and resources, and with Cao Mulan's connections and Yu Sheng'an's influence, they will seriously form a screenwriting team, which will definitely get bigger and bigger in the future, and eventually form a force to be reckoned with.

Naturally, the sooner such a team joins, the better.

In fact, almost all well-known screenwriters in the circle are paying attention to this matter, and some wild screenwriters chat groups are also discussing it very hotly, although there are different views, but the overall attitude is positive, and they have said that as long as they receive Cao Mulan's invitation, they will not hesitate to join.

These voices will inevitably reach Wen Jingcai's ears, which strengthens his determination to join the screenwriting studio.

That afternoon, in the screenwriter's studio, Yu Sheng'an, Bai Qingyan, Su Manling and Gu Qingmei each submitted a plot outline of the TV series, and then elaborated around their respective outlines.

Yu Sheng'an's outline is naturally to take the "Shuangmendong Five" as the starting point, and then expand the specific situation of their respective families one by one, and then push the plot forward, focusing on several famous scenes, and expand it a little when introducing the script, when it comes to being good at grandmother visits and good at mother's performance, Su Manling continued:

"This point is good, it is best to add the performance of a mother-in-law when she visits, and the comparison between the two is not only typical, but also easy to form a discussion. ”

When Yu Sheng'an heard this, he couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart: "He is worthy of being a professor-level screenwriter, and he thought of this almost instinctively." Smiled: "There will be such a plot, I forgot to add." ”

Su Man nodded and said: "Mother-in-law is more picky, even if she cares, it is also for her grandson and granddaughter, and my mother is different, although she also feels sorry for her grandson and granddaughter, but at the same time, she will feel sorry for her daughter, no matter how old this daughter is now." ”

"Yes. Yu Sheng'an was quite convinced.

Su Manling thought for a while and said: "Mr. Yu's script seems to be very ordinary from the text, but if it is presented in the form of a picture, and then all the details are fully perfected, it will be very interesting, I am a little interested." ”

Gu Qingmei smiled and continued: "Teacher, we haven't talked about our own script yet, are you ready to join the other party's camp?"

Bai Qingyan teased: "The disciple is about to fight to the death, why does the teacher descend first?"

Su Manling also laughed and said: "That script was originally written by Qingmei herself, I just helped her smooth some story lines, in contrast, Mr. Yu's script is more in line with my style." ”

Yu Sheng'an took the opportunity to say, "Welcome Mr. Su to join." ”

Gu Qingmei couldn't cry or laugh.

Cao Mulan said: "It's okay, light eyebrows, today we are not engaged in a knockout competition, but a discussion, if it is appropriate, we will shoot the three scripts together at that time." ”

Gu Qingmei nodded "um".

Then Bai Qingyan said his script, he wrote a story from the 80s, there is an obvious sense of age and history in the story, and listening to him talk eloquently, it is obvious that this script has been prepared for a long time.

As soon as the so-called expert kung fu is shot, he will know if there is one.

After Bai Qingyan roughly finished speaking, including Yu Sheng'an, everyone unanimously approved it, thinking that it could be filed for auction.

After that, Gu Qingmei, her script is the same as Yu Sheng'an, it is also set in the East China Sea, but the timeline is modern, writing about six young people who came to the East China Sea from different places to work hard, because they have some relationship with each other or brothers, or couples, or college classmates, so they choose to live in the same community and take care of each other.

The story unfolds based on this character's relationship, and a series of warm, hilarious and inspirational stories take place.

Hearing Gu Qingmei's story, the rest of his life moved with peace of mind, and thought of another sitcom that he loved very much.

"So Qingmei, what are the occupations of your six characters?" Yu Sheng'an asked curiously.

"An online writer and screenwriter, two white-collar workers, a chef, a university teacher, and a teacher Tony who runs a barbershop. Gu Qingmei replied clearly: "These characters have prototypes, but they will definitely be remodeled when written into the script, and the relationship between the characters is also new." ”

Yu Shengan nodded and said casually: "This setting can be a long-form sitcom, centered on these six people, there are many things to write." ”

Gu Qingmei's eyes lit up, and he said, "I think so too, but if you really want to shoot, you have to see the reaction of the first season." ”

"It should be good, in this cold metropolis, the daily warm love and friendship can always easily move people's hearts, as long as the plot is written with humor and funny, the ratings will be good. ”

Gu Qingmei nodded one after another: "Teacher Yu and I have thought together, so you are also optimistic about my script?"

"I'm very optimistic, but if you want to do a full-length sitcom, you can't rely on one or two screenwriters alone, there aren't so many plots and jokes, so after we set the character design and main line, we will find two more young screenwriters. Yu Sheng'an saw that Gu Qingmei was in line with his own thoughts, and immediately said his thoughts.

Of course, Gu Qingmei would not object, and said: "Let's write the first season ourselves, I still have a lot of plots, and after the broadcast, if the response is good, we will continue to develop, how about it?"

Yu Sheng'an happily agreed, and said, "Let's discuss the relationship between the characters later?"

"Hmm. ”

After such a round of chatting, Su Manling joined Yu Sheng'an's script, Bai Qingyan's script passed on the spot, and Yu Sheng'an slapped Gu Qingmei's script.

It means that all three scripts have been passed, and since Yu Shengan and Cao Mulan are the bosses, this passage is the final pass, and the efficiency can be described as ridiculously high.

Later, Wen Jingcai came to the East China Sea from Yanjing with his assistant and met with everyone in the studio.

After the greetings, the topic naturally talked about the work plan after the literary symposium, and unsurprisingly, Wen Jingcai also has a new drama to write, but the cooperation has been finalized with the old club, and it will not be moved to Universal Entertainment.

Later, when asked about Universal Entertainment's plan, Bai Qingyan and Gu Qingmei both had a final plan, and briefly said that they had a plan, but they didn't talk about it specifically, but Yu Sheng'an, and learned that Wen Jingcai had been a producer, so he specially mentioned the script to him, and gave him the outline.

Not to mention reading the script, Wen Jingcai's trust and frankness in Yu Sheng'an are still a little surprised.

Then, he carefully read the outline of the script, and after reading it, he looked up at Yu Sheng'an and said, "This script looks ordinary......"

Without waiting for Yu Sheng'an to answer, he continued: "But if you can really shoot that taste, it will become a hit." ”
