In addition to this "borrowing chickens to lay eggs" routine, some entertainment companies are even worse. They will take the script that the screenwriter has worked so hard to create, change the name, change the plot, and then label it with their own.

In this way, the screenwriter's manuscript fee does not need to be paid. And it doesn't constitute nominal plagiarism. Even if the other party wants to go to court, the final definition will take a long time. At least one year, at most two years, three years, the process is absolutely prohibitive for those weak screenwriters. It's also financially hard to bear.

Under the guidance of editor Li Yue, Shen Bai entered the Huace Film and Television Building. The spacious hall is brightly lit and illuminated in smooth marble, reflecting the elegantly decorated interior.

The two young ladies at the front desk who were in charge of greeting Shen Bai made a simple registration. Then Shen Bai and Li Yue took the elevator to the multi-functional conference room on the third floor of the company.

On the walls of the corridors along the way, there are posters of various TV dramas, all of which are works of Huace Film and Television over the years.

"Mr. Shen Bai, this is the "Flowing Good Time" released last year, as well as "Orange Red Age" and "Tiansheng Long Song". When Li Yue was passing by, he introduced Shen Bai by the way. All of them are works from 2018, some have a good reputation, and some are a mess......

But even if it is a bad movie, being sprayed with dog blood and blind by netizens, it will not have much impact on the company. After all, with such a large domestic market, more than 1.4 billion viewers, and nearly 400 TV stations, bad movies can also make a few advertising dollars.

If it doesn't work, you can also engage in external funds and let investors pay. There are many methods, it depends on how to operate.

To sum it up in a simple sentence, the domestic TV drama market has long been monopolized by these TV drama companies. Lack of external competitive pressure, bad movies and good movies are all mixed up. Anyway, it's all your own people fighting there.

And high-quality American dramas, British dramas, such as "Game of Thrones" seasons 1 to 7, "The Big Bang Theory" seasons all. To put it bluntly, it's all about young people's preferences.

Many housewives and retired elderly people would rather watch bloody dramas and thunderous dramas than watch this. TV stations don't go to the trouble of spending money to bring them in, and then delete them for review. Not only can't keep up with the progress.,And piracy on the Internet.,There's a lot of subtitle groups.,The update is so powerful that it's bursting......

Shen Bai looked at these posters on the wall and couldn't help but feel a touch in his heart. He didn't travel through parallel worlds, nor did he reborn back to more than ten years ago. So the current entertainment industry is the one he is familiar with watching the news and watching TV every day.

If you one day, you can also become a celebrity and become a big star by relying on your talent. That...... When the time comes, he really can't imagine it, he always feels like a dream, and he can't believe it.

"Mr. Shen Bai, we have arrived. Let me introduce to you, this is the editor-in-chief of our editorial department. When Li Yue brought Shen Bai to the conference room, she opened her mouth to introduce.

"Hello, screenwriter Shen Bai, thank you for taking the time to come to our Great Aim program. I heard Li Yue say, you traveled in Iceland two days ago, and did you have a good trip?" Wang Lilan, the editor-in-chief, got up with a smile, and then shook hands with Shen Bai. She wore a dark blue slim-fitting suit today, with her freshly cut mid-length hair, which looked stylish and capable.

"It's okay, it's just that I've been abroad for a long time, and I always want to return to China. Because of the local Chinese food, it is too difficult. Shen Bai also smiled politely and stretched out his right hand and shook it with Wang Lilan. In the contact, I also learn the other party's communication style and communication habits, so as to lay the foundation for future development in the circle.

"Ha, as you can imagine, although I haven't been to Iceland. But Chinese food abroad really can't learn a bit of the essence. Please sit down, screenwriter Shen Bai, let's talk about the "Time Detective" you submitted. Wang Lilan said, stretching out her hand to signal Shen Bai to take a seat.

The multi-functional conference room on the third floor of Huace Film and Television is still very spacious. A large oval wooden table sits in the middle of the meeting room. The ergonomic leather chair is comfortable to sit on. At least it's much better than sitting in the bank. There will be no backache for a long time.

"Okay, Editor-in-Chief Wang. Shen Bai nodded and sat down obediently. At present, his script for "Time Detective" has completed the plot of the 5th episode. This efficiency can be regarded as very high, much better than other procrastination screenwriters.

"Screenwriter Shen Bai, I think you also know that we invited you over this time to negotiate a contract with you. First of all, I want to ask, how many episodes of the drama "Time Detective" are you going to create in total, and how many manuscripts are currently in hand?"

Shen Bai didn't have anything to hide, so he replied directly and honestly, "I'm going to create about 32 episodes, and there are currently 5 episodes in storage." ”

After Wang Lilan and Li Yue heard this, they thought for a while, and then said to him, "Oh, so is there any arrangement for the main plot of the story? ”

To tell the truth, I'm really not afraid of jokes, Shen Bai himself hasn't thought about the main plot or development direction. It's all about your own inspiration, and you can create passionately in front of the computer. Write wherever it is, even if there is a digging pit and foreshadowing, it is also written halfway, and I think about it temporarily. The devil knows where to go after forty or fifty episodes. Maybe the inspiration came, and it was possible to write the protagonist to death directly......

Anyway, this is a script, not a web novel. At the end of the tragedy, in the eyes of many literary youths and pseudo-literary youth, that is art! They like to be abused.

Shen Bai, who was sitting at the conference table, tried to think calmly and answered. The current situation, just like his bank interview, must give a perfect answer in order to make the other party willing to pay for it.

So Shen Bai exerted his strength to breastfeed, and his palms gradually sweated. Finally at the last moment, he suddenly had an idea and said, "Ahem, the main plot of the story is that the editor-in-chief Wang is like this, that is, through the cases solved by the protagonist, some forces hidden behind it are slowly revealed. It is precisely because of the covert intervention of these forces that the case of that year became unsolved. ”

"As for the development direction of the later stage, it should be like "In the Name of the People", bringing the black hand hidden behind it to justice, full of positive energy and ignition. ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Bai didn't expect that he could be like this. Blowing the ending that I didn't think about at all is so good and goes with the flow. I almost scared myself......
