What does a good script mean?

In the words of the American screenwriter Syd Field in his playbook: the protagonist must be a plump, three-dimensional, three-dimensional character.

How is it plump, three-dimensional, and three-dimensional?

It is in the play that the audience knows the character best, and the playwright must show all of him as much as possible.

This protagonist must not only have the most scenes, but also convey the most information, drive the largest share of the plot, and show a clear purpose.

This book is called "Fundamentals of Film Script Writing"...

Insert a sentence: "Journey to the West" is really a good story, it is too good to say that human nature has good and evil sides, even the high-flying Buddha, but unfortunately, the actors and editors ruined this thing!

In recent years, there have been too few good scripts on the market!

Bo Ge really wanted to play some profound roles, but reality forced him to go to the field of comedy...

His requirements for the script: the setting is innovative, the plot is exquisite and twisty, not too much but a little connotation...

"Hunting", all satisfied!

And the director is Zhang Yimou...

In industry terms, such a project is called a head work!

As for Duan Yihong mentioned in the email, who is Duan Yihong?

This scene, Huang Bo is about to decide, and hurriedly ran to see Lu Xiaoran, Boss Lu is all kinds of picky:

"I have to ask Lao Mouzi to agree!"

“… You've got to lose twenty pounds first!"

I agreed, and I almost knelt down and called my father...

……

Boge's salary is 8 million, and "Hunting", 2 million...

His exact words: Just give some money!

Zhang Yimou's director's salary is 6 million + 15% box office dividends...

Of course, it's the later dividends...

Orange originally wanted to give him a director's salary of 15 million, but he felt it was too high...

What a kind person!

Compare Suren...

Alas!

Su Lun's guy signed a stepped share, the cost line of "My Little Black Dress" is 100 million, and the box office is less than 100 million, she can only get a basic director's salary of 3 million, and if it exceeds 100 million, she can get a box office dividend of 3%;

After 200 million, the share ratio increases to 6 percent, 300 million is 9 percent, and 400 million is 12 percent, which is also the highest share ratio.

In other words, in this play, her share ratio is as high as 15 million!

There's no way, the current salary has risen too much!

Capital breaks the rules.

In the past, when money was invested, investors were more responsible and pressured, and now the issuance has become a premium - if you are famous, someone will buy it at a premium, which is the legendary guaranteed issuance!

From the beginning of the investment, the film was originally a 100 million shot, but it became 300 million when it was patted, and it was 600 million when it was sold.

Directors and producers always feel that they have to make less money, and they also want dividends, investment, and equity participation, and later film projects have become a kind of joint-stock project cooperation.

Such a joint-stock project cooperation leads to a movie that has no responsible person, and the movie is busy sitting on the ground and sharing the money before it is released!

Once the movie becomes a capital game, there is really no bottom line...

Orange is now divided, which is to give the director motivation...

It can also be regarded as a kind of kidnapping in disguise.

It is written in black and white, it is much better than reissuing red envelopes later - the red envelopes are too little, and the director still has resentment in his heart!

Orange is now doing projects, and basically signing all mature directors is a ladder share.

Guo Fan: The four of them don't have a share - they can only get the basic director's fee.

The actor who was announced at the beginning of the drama "Hunting" was Lu Xiaoran, and now Huang Bo has been replaced, Lu Xiaoran explained on Weibo:

"This script has very high requirements for performance, even if I can do it, I have to run in the mountains and forests to experience life for two months, the reality is that I can't get two months at all, I'm not a pure actor, but I don't want to ruin such a good scene as "Hunting" because of myself, just let Brother Bo try it, in addition, insert: Director Zhang Yimou heard that I was going to resign, especially Huang Bo replaced me, his expression was very... It's a pleasure..."

"How can I say that I am also a Venice actor, don't you want to lose face!"

Then someone forwarded a Weibo to him, 'The first brother in the country, with a salary of 100 million!'

The content is to accuse Lu Xiaoran of being paid too high and breaking the rules of the entertainment industry...

Lao Tzu makes his own dramas, directs, writes and acts by himself, why does he have bad rules?

Lu Xiaoran replied seriously:

"Three things:

First: The total salary expenditure of "Star You" accounts for 37% of the total production cost, which is fully in line with the production rules of TV dramas. ”

"Second, I didn't get a dime paid, I signed three contracts for director, screenwriter + starring, a total of 20% profit sharing, and I have paid taxes according to the law on the money I get!"

"Third, "Star You" has been broadcast all over Asia, after "Star You", the sales of mainland TV dramas have increased by 80%, and the price of a single episode has tripled, I dare not say that it is all my credit, at least it has something to do with me!"

"Also, the plays I played were all written by myself and invested by my own company! I thought about it before spreading rumors, and it broke the rules of the industry? I thank you, I am Du Minjun, not all black pot!"

……

In fact, during this time, 'excessive salary' has become a topic!

A Weibo post by Chen Lizhi, president of Maite Culture Media, caused the phenomenon of sky-high salaries to cause sighs inside and outside the industry.

'At the beginning of last year, a female artist was 20,000/episode, and this year it is already 300,000/episode. Last year's male artist was 150,000/episode, and this year it is 500,000/episode...'

Producer and producer Yan Conghua used "the actor's salary has risen so much that I am about to have a heart attack" to describe the worry of not being able to use the actor.

Wen Jun reminded the old story: "Now if you want to invite big names to act in movies, you have to give 8 figures, and 7 can't do it." A star has to be followed by eight assistants behind the set. ”

Industry insiders believe that it is caused by the blind influx of hot money and the false prosperity of the market in the past two years.

The most direct impact of the soaring cost of actors is to reduce the production cost, and the investment is purely reserved for TV dramas, which leads to the accumulation and shoddy production of TV drama themes.

In the drama "Star You", Lu Xiaoran's salary of over 100 million yuan has directly become a topic...

However, public opinion circulated for a while, and Lu Xiaoran directly clarified.

In the past, it was enough to spread rumors, but now there is Weibo, which can be clarified directly!

And with the media control of Orange, soon the news passed...

Lu Xiaoran really felt that it was not a high salary for him to take 100 million, he only took 20% of the profits...

He doesn't accept endorsements, he doesn't help the brand platform, of course, he has always maintained a good cooperation with Dior: to participate in the award ceremony or play to talk about some important occasions, he still needs brand sponsorship...

Suddenly remembered that when the book was first written, he heard that there was an actress in the future who was paid 80 million, and licked her face and said, 'I'm worth the price!'

Do you think he has the same mentality as this woman?

The only difference is probably that the dramas he plays are highly evaluated...
