The competition in September files is usually not big, big productions and big IPs all choose National Day files to fight, and the off-season is also good in the off-season, as long as the results are about the same, the theater schedule must be indispensable.

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" also took this path at that time, avoiding big productions, and the sword took the propaganda of the edge, of course, the key is that the work is good-looking, so that it can dominate for a whole month and a half.

I don't have to worry about being an actor before, but this time I am a producer, 70% of the major shareholders, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, not to mention the first time the brother is a director, I have to go all out in public and private.

As the team continues to run in, the progress is getting faster and faster, which makes Hu Zhonghua happy all day long, and he saves money by finishing the day early!

But when he encountered an accident today, Bu Fan frowned and looked at the script, he always felt that something was not right, and his emotions always couldn't reach the point of satisfaction, so he called Hu Zhonghua and the screenwriter over, stopped first, and everyone discussed.

"Is the line too long-winded?"

As a senior screenwriter, Wang Peng quickly understood Bu Fan's intentions and suggested: "I originally thought that the protagonist would definitely be overwhelmed in the face of such high pressure, so..."

Bu Fan nodded, recognizing the strength of the screenwriter, but as an actor, he was the character closest to the role, and pondered for a moment: "The first reaction of ordinary people in the face of this situation must be overwhelming, but the villain does not intend to leave any time for the protagonist." ”

"It can be said that he is enjoying the process of his prey being cornered little by little!"

It's like gradually tightening the rope around the protagonist's neck, watching the prey wail and struggle, this is the best time for him. ”

Wang Peng nodded, Bu Fan's opinion is very pertinent, especially the acting skills have long proved everything.

Like a machine, accurate and stable, no matter how difficult the lens is, there are never more than three, basically one.

With the power of one person, he forcibly advanced the filming schedule by at least one-third, this kind of actor is not only cool for the director, but also for the producer.

"You mean to express despair and helplessness with inner drama?"

Bu Fan nodded and said seriously: "Language is the palest at this time, and emotions and physical details are the key to conveying the audience's sense of urgency, what do you think?"

Wang Tian and Wang Peng glanced at each other, and nodded in agreement, that is, Bu Fan is qualified to pretend to be forced in front of the director and replace it with someone else.....

Watching Wang Pengxing rush away, Bu Fan asked Hu Zhonghua: "Where did you find it?"

"Don't you know that even screenwriters now have agents?"

Hu Zhonghua leaned comfortably on the sofa, kept catching up with the progress, and finally took a breath today, joking: "The pomp and circumstance of first-line screenwriters is no worse than that of third-tier stars." ”

"Similar to a star agent, a professional who is responsible for managing screenwriters and is proficient in all brokerage affairs except writing. Contract screenwriters, dock and match film and television company projects, and track each process such as negotiation, trial writing, and signing during the period...."

"Now content is king, coupled with the maturity of film and television industrialization and industry segmentation, not only traditional screenwriting companies provide screenwriter brokerage, such as crooked horses, such as drama, script supermarket, screenwriter gang, cloud lywood and other companies have opened up screenwriter brokerage services, and companies specialize in providing script brokerage for projects. ”

"In particular, script agents have to do more complex things, more like producers or front-end project planners, responsible for script packaging and even reverse IP incubation, and can also solve the problem of code plates like CAA, packaging directors, producers, investment companies and even distribution channels to film and television companies. ”

Bu Fan was a little surprised, now playing so professionally?

"You follow Mr. Qi and Sister Lan, you definitely don't have to worry about this kind of thing. Hu Zhonghua said with a smile: "Let's not mention that your company must have a special team responsible for the script, even if you have your current network, you don't have to worry about this kind of thing." ”

"I have friends who specialize in eating this way, 10-20% commission is the norm, screenwriting agencies and screenwriting companies are not the same, as far as I know, there may be no more than 20 companies doing this business in China, and no more than 5 specializing in screenwriting brokerage and script trading. ”

"There are at least thousands of screenwriters with certain writing skills, especially for new screenwriters, the agency can undoubtedly solve the problem of lack of resources and circles, which is similar to the entry of new artists. ”

"Those well-known screenwriters need agents, not everyone has ambitions to start a company, screenwriters are creative talents, they stay at home all day, and the business is left to the agent to improve. When you encounter a script at the bottom of the box that wants to be sold, or you can't do too much, someone helps to integrate resources, or even subcontracts to find sought-after, you know. ”

Bu Fan was very interested and asked, "How many screenwriters can an agent bring?"

"My friend has seven or eight under him, and the senior old birds, including Wang Peng, can't be busy anymore. ”

"At the beginning of in other cities, after discovering this business opportunity, a few friends set up a company in Beijing, which is regarded as the earliest group of entrepreneurs, and now it is booming. ”

"Their internal team resources are also shared, and once they get the project, they will send the requirements to all agents, so that everyone can recommend suitable screenwriters to improve the probability of success of the recommendation. ”

"Hold weekly meetings to exchange work progress, and the agent should introduce the new screenwriter he signed to his colleagues, what type of book he is best at writing, so that everyone knows in their hearts, so that when they go out to talk about the project, if they don't have the right one in their hands, they can also recommend the signed screenwriters of other colleagues. ”

This year, their company has signed more than 200 screenwriters, served more than 130 screenwriters, and represented more than 100 original projects. ”

Seeing Bufan's surprised expression, he continued: "The whole contract screenwriting company takes a cut of 10-20%, which fluctuates according to his popularity. ”

"Semi-contract screenwriters only need to match projects, and full-contract screenwriters have to be in-depth. Screenwriters at different stages often have very different needs. Some hope to take on more work and make more money, and some resolutely do not accept customization but only originality. ”

"Mature screenwriters may not accept many projects, only do what they are interested in, and young screenwriters need more opportunities for growth, so they are not so picky. ”

"In the past few years, not only the actors' salaries, but even the screenwriters have flown all the way, and the screenwriters of well-known satellite TV dramas have easily made hundreds of thousands of dollars per episode. For screenwriter brokerage companies, they are reluctant to take on big online projects, and the top online big script is 100,000 per episode, usually 2-50,000, and 20% commission is drizzling. ”

Hu Zhonghua took a sip of tea and analyzed: "You also know that original scripts are not easy to sell in the circle, especially when the screenwriter is not very famous, the financier likes to directly spend money to buy the so-called big IP that has been certified by the market, change it casually, and find a few traffic to establish a project." ”

"I often talk to them, and according to them, in terms of script genres, except for comedy, action, and war themes, which are relatively easy to sell, there is actually no specific theme that can be favored for a long time, and the market is often easy to follow. ”

"Many times, whatever subject matter is encountered first, and investors have everything they want. I heard that there are few TV dramas recently, and the Internet University was very good last year, but it is not possible this year. Online dramas are becoming more and more popular, and everyone has begun to throw money into them. ”

"Now several of their companies are getting together and preparing to do big things, one is to establish a screenwriter agency system, to be the largest screenwriter information database in China, and to catch all talents. The other is to establish a script trading model and mature industrial operation. ”

"Screenwriter agents are responsible for signing screenwriters and finding commissioned creative projects for them, while script agents are more like pre-production or project planners, who need to screen, evaluate and package scripts, such as designing concept posters, making project plans, conducting market and budget analysis, and then accurately pushing them to various channels. ”

"Because the chain of the film and television industry is a breakpoint, it is not easy to make a project just by providing a script. For example, when you negotiate with the director, they can even provide 50 investment companies and 20 producers, who can bond resources and help you solve the problem of yard plates. ”

"Last year, I planned a fantasy web series, and the screenwriter was a college student, but the theme and concept of the script were very good. So he found a film and television company, provided planning plans, recommended directors, and even helped contact the broadcast platform. ”

"Cash and 10% equity returns, minus the remuneration paid to screenwriters, net millions of dollars in just one project. Through the operation of the broker, the cost of script incubation can be reduced from millions to hundreds of thousands, and of course, it also tests the broker's judgment and operation ability of the project. ”
