Chapter 110: Preparations
Generally speaking, the time required for the original script of Chuyang's screenwriter is about more than a year, and the fastest adaptation is about half a year, and the maximum amount of seven or eight episodes can be written in a month.
Like Lin Su, the first draft of thirty episodes was completed in less than a month, and it never appeared in Chuyang.
Although the quality needs to be improved, the speed of writing is really unmatched.
Lin Su was reminded by Xie Tianhong to react, it has only been a month and a half since the establishment of "Chasing the Murderer", he is a newcomer, and it is already very good to be able to write a script for 6 episodes.
Chen Wensheng also said: "The company didn't know that you were the second draft, and thought that the first draft was of high quality and speed, and no one would object to you as a screenwriter after today." ”
This is good news, Lin Sule smiled.
Then I hurriedly printed out the scripts of the 6 episodes and took them with Chen Wensheng and Xie Tianhong to the meeting.
Tan Zhengzhong is not only the chairman of Chuyang, but also the producer of all Chuyang's works, and he will participate in all project meetings.
Because the purpose of the meeting was very clear, and everyone didn't want to go around the bend, someone in the production team went straight to the topic, "Mr. Chen, how is the "Chasing the Murderer" project that I said last month?"
Chen Wensheng glanced at Lin Su, who got up and went to deliver the script, and everyone in the audience had a copy.
After Tan Zhengzhong took it, he looked at it carefully, and as soon as he finished watching an episode, he looked up at Lin Su unexpectedly, and then his eyes moved to Chen Wensheng and Xie Tianhong.
He also knows a thing or two about Xie Tianhong's ability, and it has been half a month since he came to Chuyang.
Now it seems that Xie Tianhong is likely to be guiding Lin Su to write the script during this time.
Tan Zhengzhong retracted his gaze after thinking about it and continued to look down at the script.
The entire conference room was quietly reading the script, while Xie Tianhong pulled Chen Wensheng to speak quietly.
This feeling of two worlds made Lin Su a little unaccustomed.
Almost an hour passed, and the bigwigs finally put down the script in their hands, and they all showed satisfied expressions.
"Lin Su, did you write this script?" someone asked.
"I wrote it, but thanks to Director Xie's guidance. ”
Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Chen Wensheng's side and thanked Tianhong, and once again officially greeted him.
Someone smiled at Lin Su again: "This script is very well written, we were all worried that you had just entered the industry and didn't know much about script creation, but now it seems that Mr. Chen's vision is really accurate." ”
"It's true that I don't have enough experience, and I have to learn more from my teachers. ”
Chen Wensheng saw that everyone was almost polite, so he spoke: "I said before I would wait for the first draft to come out and then decide on the following work, but today Director Xie Tianhong is also here, let's discuss and see if everything should be decided as soon as possible." ”
"It's okay, the quality of this script is okay, but I'm not worried. ”
"It's still a little shorter, it's only been 6 episodes......"
Several members of the production crew exchanged heads and whispered about each other.
Tan Zhengzhong spoke, "Lin Su, the original work of "Chasing the Murderer" is not long, how many episodes of the script do you plan to write?"
Chuyang has a conventional rule, as long as it is based on an adapted work, everyone in the creative team will familiarize themselves with the original work and increase their understanding of the story and character design.
"The plan is twenty-four episodes and seven cases. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the conference room began to discuss again.
"More than 20 episodes are too short, considering the production cost and publicity, the income is relatively low......"
"The length of crime dramas doesn't seem to be long, and there are only about ten episodes abroad. ”
"It's a seasonal drama abroad, and in addition to film and television, there are many peripheral copyrights, which can't be done in China at present. ”
The production team is not very satisfied with the number of episodes of the script of "Chasing the Murderer", selling TV series, after all, the longer it is, the higher the income.
Tan Zhengzhong didn't speak, but his expression was not relaxed.
Seeing this, Chen Wensheng said loudly: "Everyone seems to have forgotten the purpose of our decision to produce "Chasing the Murderer", one is to enter the online video platform, and the other is to broaden the scope of the theme of the work, "Chasing the Murderer" is actually just an attempt at a new project, according to the practice of Chuyang, what we have to do with the new project is to try our best to ensure that there is no loss, and the rest are not forced in advance. ”
Gradually, the big guys of the production crew stopped talking.
Tan Zhengzhong glanced at everyone and said: "The project of "Chasing the Murderer" has been decided, and the script has always been thought about by the screenwriter team itself, and other departments don't have to worry too much. The latter words are also a reminder to the production crew not to want to point fingers just because Lin Su is a newcomer.
Sure enough, no one had any objections to the script.
Tan Zhengzhong continued: "After the meeting, the planning team handed over to Mr. Chen, and then officially notified the relevant departments to start preparing for the project. ”
"Good. ”
"Lin Su, you just need to write the script with peace of mind, and you don't have to think about the rest. ”
"I see. Lin Su also hurriedly responded.
After explaining the situation, Tan Zhengzhong disbanded the meeting and only left Chen Wensheng behind.
The bigwigs have something to say, Lin Su thinks he is a little shrimp, of course he left immediately.
Back in the office, Xie Tianhong teased her, "Xiao Susu, do you know what Mr. Tan wants to talk about with your teacher?"
Lin Su has become accustomed to the names given to him by various acquaintances, and his attitude is almost like what you always like, "I don't know, you know?"
"It's supposed to be about funding. ”
"If it's funding, shouldn't the production crew be left behind?"
Xie Tianhong glanced at her, "You are stupid, this project was planned by your teacher, and with his status in Chuyang, of course Mr. Tan will communicate with him first before proceeding to the next step." ”
Lin Su let out an "oh", and then said very dissatisfied: "I'm not stupid, I just don't understand." ”
Xie Tianhong looked at her helplessly, is there a difference between you and stupid?
Lin Su didn't want to entangle with him on this issue, so he hurriedly spoke: "Director Xie, then judging from your smart brain, is it better to attract investment in "Chasing the Murderer" or is it better for our company to produce it ourselves?"
"I don't know which one is better, but I know that Mr. Chen wants to make it homemade, what do you say?" Xie Tianhong threw a wink at her after speaking.
You're really right!
Lin Su silently continued in his heart.
Xie Tianhong knew that she thought the same thing as soon as he saw her expression, it seemed that Mr. Chen had mentioned it to her before, if this was the case, he could direct with peace of mind.
Although he has only just returned to the domestic film and television industry, he still understands many basic situations, and he has long heard of things like the investor Cypriot.
If Chu Yang has the right to speak from beginning to end, he doesn't have to worry about any moths in investment.
Lin Su didn't know what he thought, otherwise he would definitely tell him that even if Chuyang's drama was invested, the right to speak in terms of works was still in the hands of Chuyang Company.
Xie Tianhong squinted, "Xiao Susu, how much do you think Chu Yang's budget for "Chasing the Murderer" will be?"
"I don't know. ”
Lin Su shook her head very seriously, this is not something she can decide, and she is more concerned about the playback platform than this, "Director Xie, which online video platform do you think "Chasing the Murderer" will cooperate with?"
"What platform?"
Xie Tianhong is not particularly familiar with some domestic film and television policies, and he does not know much about online video platforms.
