After the master and apprentice discussed, Chen Wensheng contacted the company's production team, planning team and literature team for a meeting in the afternoon.

Everyone received the news that it was to discuss the project of "Chasing the Murderer", which would sweep the people sitting in the conference room, and only three groups came, so it shouldn't be a big deal, so they didn't pay attention to it, chatting with each other.

Only Tan Zhengzhong's face was more serious, and there was worry in his eyes.

After Chen Wensheng brought Lin Su over, he didn't say hello, and looked directly at Tan Zhengzhong, who was sitting in the main seat, and said: "Mr. Tan, I talked about the project of "Chasing the Murderer" at the regular meeting in the morning, and I already have a preliminary plan, and now I am looking for everyone to negotiate the following work." ”

"Teacher Chen, do you have a plan?" Someone was surprised, and his eyes swept the conference room again, but no one came.

Chen Wensheng didn't seem to hear his suspicions, and nodded straightly, "Well, at present, the screenwriter and director have been selected, and the rest of the work will be discussed after the first draft of the script comes out." ”

"Why didn't anyone from the director team come to the meeting, and there was no one on the screenwriter's side?"

Everyone looked at each other, all with question marks on their faces.

In the conference room at the moment, Chen Wensheng, the screenwriter, is here, but he is about to join the group, so it is impossible for him to adapt "Chasing the Murderer".

"Let's not talk about the other groups, this camera and lighting team always has to come alone, right?"

"yes, what the hell is going on?"

"Don't worry, everyone. Chen Wensheng raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to be quiet, and then slowly spoke: "The script of "Chasing the Murderer" was handed over to Lin Su to write, as for the director, I found someone outside, and he is very experienced in crime-themed film and television dramas, so he may also bring people over the camera and lighting. ”

As soon as his voice fell, the production crew couldn't sit still.

"Xiao Lin just joined the company, not to mention independent works, and he hasn't even written a book before, so it's not appropriate to give her a drama so rashly, right?"

"Mr. Chen, we know that Xiaolin is the original work of "Chasing the Murderer", but it is different from the script after all, and this project is a test of our Chuyang, and it is really unreassuring to hand it over to a newcomer. ”

"Yes, if the company's screenwriting team has a project in hand, we can put it on hold, even if we find outsiders to cooperate, we can't rush the ducks to the shelves like this. ”

Although they don't know who the director is, Chen Wensheng said that he has experience, which is relatively reassuring.

Therefore, everyone's unanimous opposition is on the matter of Lin Su as the screenwriter.

However, no matter how much they refute it, they can't change Chen Wensheng's decision.

During this time, Lin Su has been learning how to write scripts, and "Chasing the Murderer" was originally her work, I believe she can adapt it well. ”

He said it seriously, and except for the production crew, the people in the other two departments stopped squeaking.

"Mr. Chen, I know you have high hopes for Xiaolin, but you know better than us how important the script is, her experience and qualifications are not enough, independent screenwriters are definitely not good, if you really insist, you can find someone to take her and let her be the second editor. ”

"No, I'll leave the first draft to her alone. Chen Wensheng always insisted on his decision.

The production crew of "This ......" was very embarrassed, and they all looked at Tan Zhengzhong for help, hoping that he could stop Chen Wensheng's impulse.

Who knew that Chen Wensheng was the first to speak: "Mr. Tan, since I am in charge of this project, let's follow my decision." ”

Someone in the production team couldn't persuade him no matter how much he persuaded him, and his tone of voice became anxious, "Mr. Chen, you have always supported the discussion, why are you so stubborn in this matter." "Considering Chen Wensheng's identity, I didn't dare to say that he was stubborn.

Chen Wensheng didn't speak, just looked at Tan Zhengzhong.

Tan Zhengzhong was also hesitating, on the one hand, he could understand his old friend's mood and know the reason why he did this, but on the other hand, he was not sure about Lin Su.

After thinking about it again and again, he thought of a compromise solution, "Either it's decided like this first, and then we will make specific arrangements after we read the first draft, and we have to look at the script whether it works or not." ”

Chen Wensheng wanted to say anything more, but Lin Su whispered to him: "Teacher, let's wait for the first draft to come out." ”

If she wants Chu Yang to agree, she can only rely on her works to speak.

Although the bigwigs of the production team have doubts, Tan Zhengzhong and Chen Wensheng are the company's largest and second largest shareholders respectively, and both of them nodded, and they can't object.

Back in Chen Wensheng's office, Lin Sucai asked who the director was?

"Xie Tianhong, a young director with a lot of ideas, is also an expert in crime themes, but he said that he will wait until he reads your first draft to decide whether to come or not. ”

Lin Su could tell from the teacher's words that he admired this Director Xie very much, and even had a smile in his eyes when he mentioned him, and couldn't help but be curious about this director.

Chen Wensheng saw her thoughts, and said with a smile: "After the first draft passes his level, you can cooperate." ”

The most important thing at the moment is the first draft, and Lin Su's mind immediately turned to the script.

After more than half a month of study, she has become familiar with the writing format of the script, and also has a general understanding of the transformation of narrative language into the lens language of the script.

Finally, it's time to practice the pen in earnest.

Chen Wensheng reminded her before she started, "It's about numbers, and it's about time when the script is filmed, so you have to pay attention to the transition between the two." ”

"Well, I remember. Lin Su understood what he meant.

Through this period of understanding, she found that TV dramas have always had a traditional standard, that is, the number of scenes in an episode is about 40, and the duration is generally in the early 40s, and the number of words corresponding to the script ranges from about 12,000 to 15,000.

The teacher was afraid that she would be accustomed to the pace of writing, and she would not be able to adapt to the length of the script for a while.

Chen Wensheng only mentioned this sentence, and never spoke again, unless Lin Su took the initiative to ask him, he really let go of his hand and let her do it herself.

Lin Su didn't dare to disappoint him, and made careful plans before adapting.

"Chasing the Murderer" is different from others, it is in the form of a unit drama, and the plot logic of the original work is very rigorous, the plot is very compact, and the characters are also very distinct and plump, which can be regarded as a mature script prototype, so there is no need for major plot additions and deletions in film and television adaptations.

The original book has a total of 430,000 words, and according to the length and number of words of an episode of the script, it can be adapted into about 30 episodes, and one episode probably contains six to seven chapters of the original book.

After thinking about it, Lin Su began to write the script, indicating the number of episodes, the number of scenes, the location, the time and the characters.

The scene in the script is the first scene of the episode, the location is the place where the story takes place, and the indoor or outdoor is usually indicated later, the time is not the time in the usual sense, but refers to whether the scene takes place during the day or night, which is what the crew often calls the white play and night scene, and the characters are the main characters who appear in the scene.

Chen Wensheng said that the script does not have to be written according to the format, and each screenwriter has his own style of work, but Lin Su, as a novice, will still write the entry work in strict accordance with the format requirements.
