Chapter 193: Writing the Script

The initiators of this year's Cultural Cup are the Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the Film Association.

At the beginning, it was written: 'In order to further promote the creation of film scripts, prosper and enrich the artistic film industry and the film industry, the Film Association has decided to hold the Cultural Cup Film Script Selection Event. ’

'Scripted works should reflect the political, economic, cultural, and social development of the people, and reflect the rich history and culture of the motherland and the vivid life of the people......

Obviously, this kind of literary film is not a youth literary film, but a literary and artistic film that reflects life.

Of course, it also includes scripts that reflect the culture of the motherland.

Solicitation object: 'Solicitation of submissions from Chinese screenwriters across the country and overseas, encouraging the active participation of young screenwriters, and also welcoming the participation of the production agency group. ’

This is a one-stop, the screenwriter writes a manuscript paper and sends it over, the film association acts as a judge to award the award, and the production agency can also directly come to the script library to select the script for shooting.

The excellent scripts participating in the competition will also be strongly recommended by the Film Association to film production units and producers, as well as the "Excellent Script Exhibition and Promotion Fair" held by the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.

The authors of the award-winning works will receive honorary certificates and creative subsidies issued by the Film Association.

Among them, outstanding screenwriters will also be included in the screenwriter talent pool of the Film Association as key creative personnel, and participate in activities such as observation, training, and style collection held by the Association.

Undoubtedly, this kind of activity is also an activity that gives newcomers a chance.

Sometimes even if a newcomer writes a script, it is difficult to find investors and directors, and it is difficult to get ahead in this case.

And by participating in this kind of activity, you will be rewarded, and with these reputations, you will also have a certain chance to stand out.

Of course, the more important thing is to enrich the market for literary films.

This has to be said to be a kind of sadness in the literary and art market.

According to a certain logical reasoning, people's appreciation taste should be improved in tandem with the box office, people's viewing needs should be more diversified, the audience's mentality should be more mature, and serious creations will be sought after by more knowledgeable audiences.

Moreover, some people have said that an excellent literary film will also be an excellent commercial film.

But the reality is cruel, and there are several excellent literary films that can become excellent commercial films, and most of the successful literary films have great commercial elements.

As a serious art, literary films pay attention to the connotation of thought and art, which is an important part of the film industry, but because of the slow pace and often committed to exploring profound and obscure themes such as human nature, literary films have always been niche films.

People often watch movies just for entertainment.

At this time, most people are still willing to go to the theater to watch some relaxing movies, or enjoy a visual feast, but literary films are often obscure, so they are often excluded from the choice.

If you can't read it, who will read it?

It's boring to watch, who's going to watch it?

In the market, literary films are like a thin grass, ignored on the edge of the market, left to fend for themselves.

Perhaps over time, these little grasses will slowly grow into giant trees and become classics, but it will take time to irrigate.

If you want to compete for a place at the box office, it is still very difficult.

Chen Xiao then looked down.

Then there are the copyright requirements, the entries must be copyrighted and must not involve plagiarism. Plagiarism.

Once discovered, the jury will unconditionally disqualify the selection, and the selection results will be invalid.

There is no problem with this, although Chen Xiao is plagiarized, the jury should not be able to find it.

If he can find out, he will be great.

As for the selection awards.

The first prize is one, and a creative subsidy of 30,000 yuan will be given, which is before tax, and taxes must be paid.

There are two second prizes, each with a reward of 15,000 yuan.

Six third prizes, each with a reward of 5,000 yuan.

And the top few have honorary certificates awarded.

With a reward of tens of thousands of yuan, Chen Xiao naturally doesn't care, as long as the movie can be made.

Opening the document, Chen Xiao began to write the movie script.

In the dead of night, it's the best time to write.

The first script to be written is called "Hello, Mr. Tree".

This is a typical rural film theme.

This story is about a man named Shu, who is a car repairman in the village, who wanders around the village every day except for work, and everyone knows him and will greet him warmly when they meet, but no one treats him as a friend, just a joke.

And the tree was also stimulated because he had seen his father beat his brother to death, and he often went into a trance, simply put, a person with mental problems.

This kind of person was still very common in the countryside in the past, and there was no mental illness in any village.

And at the end of the film, the tree's spirit completely collapses and goes completely insane.

This movie is very depressing, and it is close to life, and it can make people's hairs stand on end.

This is a very pure literary film, although it was very famous in the previous life, but it was more because of Wang Baoqiang, a famous person, so it was often turned out.

Without Wang Baoqiang, the film might have been largely unknown.

The other roles played by Wang Baoqiang are basically played in their true colors, and they don't test their acting skills, but in "Hello, Mr. Tree", they really show their acting skills.

So it's often compared by people.

This is also the reason why this movie is often turned out.

As for the box office of this movie, it is only 2.21 million, and the filmmaker's account is only a pitiful 810,000, I am afraid that even the actor's salary is not enough.

And this movie has more than four percent of the first four days of release, and the box office in the first four days has reached nearly two million.

Now look at the total box office, what does this mean?

There are so many scheduled films but no one watches them, you may go to the movies alone, but when you arrive at the cinema, you find that you have been given a private room.

And probably thanks to publicity, the box office sold two million in the first four days, and then it couldn't sell anymore, and it was growing by 10,000 or 7,000 every day.

And the reputation of "Hello, Mr. Tree" is the opposite, which is very good.

Who said that a good literary film is a good commercial film?

It's a joke, it depends on the subject matter and the script.

Will Chen Xiao make this kind of movie?

No, whoever loves to shoot will shoot, and whoever loves to invest will invest.

But he doesn't shoot, some people are willing to shoot.

Some people make movies, not for money, but for honor, for trophies.

And literary films are used to win awards.

It took more than two hours to type the script of the movie on the computer, and then I stretched, my poor hand.

After taking a sip of water, I found that the tea was already cold, so I had to go to the hot spot again, and then started writing another script.
