Chapter 095: The copyright is in your own hands
After learning about the income of screenwriters, Chen Wensheng began to talk to Lin Su about the work of screenwriters.
"Have you checked some information yourself?"
Lin Su nodded, "I have looked for relevant information about screenwriters on the Internet, and I have also read some articles on how to write a good script." ”
"How do you feel after seeing it?"
"I can't understand it, except that the format of the script is the same, and many articles have their own statements, which are a bit messy. ”
"Well, did you learn how to write a script?"
Lin Su thought about it seriously and hesitated, "I understand the introduction of the text, but I can't guarantee the actual writing." ”
Chen Wensheng nodded, very satisfied with her sobriety and self-awareness, "The format of the script is actually just a form, and it will be natural to look at the writing and writing, what you have to learn is how to convert it into a script." ”
He originally felt that Lin Su had his own opinions on film and television dramas, and he was a student of the Chinese Department of a famous school, and his writing skills should not be bad, plus he had an eye, so he wanted to take her to get started.
I didn't know she had written before, and I thought I would teach her how to create little by little.
But not anymore.
Because there are both differences and similarities with TV scripts.
The similarities between the two are the storyline and character building, the difference is that one is mainly narrative description, and the other is mainly character dialogue.
What Lin Su has to do is to learn how to change the text into a concrete lens language, which can be presented to the audience through the picture.
In response to this, he thought about it for a long time last night and came up with an idea.
"I'll explain to you the writing format and main structure of the script first, and I'll give you a few adapted scripts and the original book in a while, and you can compare and study them to see what parts of it have changed and how they have become the lens language. ”
"Okay, I'll study hard. Lin Su has never seen a TV drama script, and her understanding of the script is very vague, and she believes in Mr. Chen.
So, in the following days, Lin Su stayed in the office every day to read the original book and adapted scripts, and learned the lens language expression.
Her desk is in Chen Wensheng's office, and if she doesn't understand anything, she immediately asks him for advice.
Before I knew it, half a month had passed.
Chuyang Company has a regular meeting at the beginning of each month, and the main objects of the meeting are the literary team and the planning team, who are responsible for finding script projects and grasping market dynamics.
If other departments in the company don't join the group, they will also participate in it.
Chen Wensheng took Lin Su to participate.
After sitting down, Lin Su's eyes swept around, except for Yang Li and himself, the huge conference room was all men.
No wonder it is said on the Internet that Chuyang is the world of the great masters, and it is true.
Tan Zhengzhong simply started and said a few words, and let all departments discuss freely.
Someone from the planning team spoke first, "At the end of the last meeting, Mr. Tan mentioned the online platform, and we didn't pay attention to it at the time, but recently there is an online drama that is particularly popular, and the topic is very high on many social platforms, and it has surpassed all the star dramas that have been broadcast recently." ”
"Then our group deliberately investigated, and found that the online platform has developed rapidly in recent years, the audience is young people, women account for the majority, and everyone prefers high-value, fast-paced or light-hearted TV dramas, many of which are low-cost dramas, I wonder if we can really consider it. ”
As soon as the words fell, everyone whispered.
A big guy in the production team said in a deep voice: "We have not been involved in online dramas, because of positioning problems, it is difficult to grasp the market for young people." ”
"Some people say that romantic dramas and big heroine dramas are the shortcomings of our company, why are young dramas not good now. "There was an objection.
There are more and more voices expressing their opinions.
Chen Wensheng's screenwriting team and director team never spoke.
After discussing for a while, Tan Zhengzhong spoke, "Our works have always been based on the subject matter, not the age of the audience, and good works are suitable for all ages." ”
After sweeping his majestic gaze, he continued: "With the development of network communications, as well as the impact of the "one drama, two stars" policy on traditional platforms, the development prospects of online video platforms cannot be ignored. ”
Hearing the policy of "one drama and two stars", others were silent or agreed, but the opposition was gone.
Liu Tian and Yang Li of the literature group glanced at each other, and the latter said: "Because Mr. Tan mentioned this project last time, our group has been paying attention, and I happened to see a suspense on the Internet recently, the plot and character design are good, and it is very suitable for adaptation into an online drama. ”
"Suspense?" Tan Zhengzhong mused.
There is no suspense in the script themes that Chu Yang is currently involved in.
Liu Tian nodded, "It's suspenseful reasoning, and the story content and character creation are quite standard." ”
"Which site works?"
"Written by a great god of romance on Reading.com, it is called "Chasing the Murderer". ”
"Hiss......" Lin Su was silently biting his lower lip and listening carefully to the discussion, but when he suddenly heard his name and work, he accidentally bit the flesh, and his mouth trembled in pain.
"Romance writers write criminal reasoning?" Tan Zhengzhong frowned slightly, a little worried about the quality of the work.
Yang Li understood his thoughts, and immediately explained: ""Chasing the Murderer" is really good, and it is also suitable for filming, Mr. Tan will know it after watching it. ”
Hearing this, Tan Zhengzhong did not question it again, but asked: "What is the copyright you are talking about?"
"This work has not signed a contract with the website, and the copyright is in the hands of the author himself, but the author is unwilling to sell it. ”
The literature team had contacted the person in charge of Reading Point before, and the news was that the author refused to sell any copyright.
"Refused without even talking about the price?"
"Yes, the website says that this author is very special and hates to sell copyrights. ”
"And such people, who don't make any money?"
Chen Wensheng didn't listen to everyone's discussion, but turned back to ask Lin Su who was sitting behind him, "Do you know this book?" He heard Lin Su's movement just now, and then thought that this girl was also written, maybe they knew each other.
Lin Su gently licked the bite and whispered, "This is mine." ”
One sentence instantly made everyone in the conference room look at her.
Yang Li was even more pleasantly surprised: "Xiaolin, you wrote "Chasing the Murderer", and the details in it are too real." ”
"It's me. Lin Suluo nodded awkwardly, ""Chasing the Murderer" is based on real cases, and many of the scenes in it are personally stepped on, so the description is very real." ”
"Is it so particular about writing now?" someone in the planning team blurted out curiously.
Director Fang Ping was also thoughtful, "So you know where many locations and scenes are?"
Chen Wensheng glanced at his old partner and understood what he meant in seconds.
"Yes, it's over there in my hometown. ”
Fang Ping nodded, glanced at Tan Zhengzhong, and then said to the literature group: "The author you are looking for is in your own home, and whether you can win the copyright depends on your ability." ”
Liu Tian and Yang Li both stared at Lin Su in an instant, their eyes were very attentive.
