This kind of remuneration is already a pie in the sky for a rookie screenwriter, and it is hard to ask for. Shen Bai naturally stopped dragging his feet and directly agreed to sign a contract with Great Aim .

According to the payment terms of the contract, Huace Film and Television will first pay 10% of the remuneration to Shen Bai, that is, 160,000 yuan. As for the remuneration after that, it will be paid in full proportionally according to the progress of the completion of the script and the final launch.

Of course, the contract also clearly stipulates the theme outline of Shen Bai's work "Time Detective". When the author is creating, he must not deviate too far from the outline. When all the creations are completed, it is necessary to make certain modifications according to Party A's requirements. to ensure the integrity of the entire show......

For a TV series, signing a script is only the first step in the whole long process. For many TV dramas, it takes 1 to 2 years to create and revise the script. Or even longer. Not to mention the subsequent funding implementation, director in place, actor casting, etc.

So the newcomer Shen Bai still has a long way to go before he becomes truly famous. Unless, he can burst out of inspiration, like divine help, and create a script quickly and amazingly. But also to ensure the quality and ensure that the inspiration does not run out.

Three weeks later, Shen Bai suddenly received a text message on his mobile phone, which made him almost jump three feet high in excitement, "Your account 0702 received RMB 134,360 on June 18. Account balance: $137,920.2. 【China Merchants Bank】"

The manuscript fee of 134,000 yuan is after deducting taxes.

When 10% of the remuneration paid by Huace Film and Television was remitted to Shen Bai's account through transfer. On his account, there is a lot of small money at once.

This made Shen Bai, who had never made more than 5 digits in deposits, happy like a 200-pound fool, constantly smirking on the bed, and rolling by the way, almost hitting the edge of the bed with his forehead.

With this manuscript fee, Shen Bai is more motivated to create at home. Including his parents, he also had a suitable reason to explain why he resigned from the bank.

On the afternoon of the day the manuscript fee was received, the editor-in-chief Wang Lilan called Shen Bai, "Hey, is Shen Bai the screenwriter? You should have received the 10% manuscript fee we paid, right? Have you encountered any difficulties in your creation recently? Do you need our help?"

I made this call, mainly to understand Shen Bai's creative progress, and it was the first few episodes. After all, there are a group of people in the company now, all waiting for this drama to start. After that, a series of processes need to be established on the premise of the completion of the script.

Including some actors, directors, and operations departments who have cooperated with Huace Pictures, they have also passed the gas. Just waiting for him to finish the script one day.

"The manuscript fee has been received, Editor-in-Chief Wang, thank you for your concern. As for the script creation, I didn't encounter any difficulties for the time being. According to the current progress, it should be completed in another one or two weeks......" Shen Bai said casually as he reached out and scratched his chin.

However, as soon as his voice fell, he saw Wang Lilan on the other end of the phone, and suddenly lost his voice. It wasn't until 3 or 4 seconds later that she asked on the phone in disbelief, "What? It's still a week or two to finish? Really? Last time I remember, you said there were only 5 episodes, right?"

"yes, then I go home and write every day, write every day, and I'm almost done. "Shen Bai said two weeks, that's still a lot. In fact, he has already written the 29th episode, and the remaining 3 episodes have a total of less than 50,000 words. Write it in three days.

This is all thanks to the inspiration of the world's biggest star games. Otherwise, if you change to other screenwriters, you will definitely not be able to guarantee this endless source of inspiration. The plot of each episode is like squeezing toothpaste, and it is difficult to go crazy.

Regarding someone's monster-like creative efficiency, the editor-in-chief Wang Lilan is really a little confused. Domestic first- and second-tier screenwriters can create two high-level scripts a year, which is already quite prolific.

And Shen Bai, a monster, can complete a 32-episode TV suspense drama in five weeks. This devilish efficiency is really terrifying.

5 days later, Shen Bai directly sent the completed 32 episodes of the script of "Time Detective" to Wang Lilan and Liu Haode by email.

In these 32 episodes, a total of 465,000 words were written about him.

Wang Lilan and Liu Haode, who received the email, were originally skeptical about what Shen Bai said on the phone was about to be completed. But when the two opened the attachment, they saw the 460,000-word script.

Wang Lilan and Liu Haode, only then did they know that what Shen Bai said was true. And the quality is not low, and the main line also closely follows the outline. The portrayal of the male and female protagonists, the supporting actors and actresses, is also very vivid. In the finale, the heroine's generosity to death is also just right. It doesn't feel too contrived, nor does it feel deliberately sloppy.

"He actually finished writing the script less than a month after signing the contract. It's also a newcomer, the two we signed three months ago don't seem to have even half of it done yet, right?" Liu Haode was also full of praise for someone's efficiency.

At this time, he was very happy, fortunately, he applied for a price increase for Shen Bai and did not let him go to the Great Wall Film and Television. Otherwise, it would be a big loss. Creating a high-quality script in a month shows that someone's talent is beyond ordinary people's imagination. It's like some talented musician who writes a piece in three minutes. It's all talented, and the old licker appreciates the food.

In order for the script to pass the review, some places still need to be revised, but the overall problem is not big.

As for the next process, there is no need for Shen Bai to worry about it. All will be handled by the operations department. For example, planning funds, contacting directors, looking for actors, applying for start-up permits, etc.

Therefore, Shen Bai can start his journey again, get more character attribute points, and create inspiration. so that he can become a powerful faction, singing and acting skills are all hanging those little fresh meat and traffic stars. In the future, the development of the entertainment industry will also be icing on the cake.

However, there is one more problem that needs to be addressed before the trip. That's my parents, who didn't know they were freelancing.

So Shen Bai took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his parents in WeChat, "Dad, Mom, I didn't tell you at first, I resigned from the bank last month. And then all this time I was writing scripts, preparing to be a screenwriter. ”

When Shen Bai's mother He Lan, in the WeChat group of their family of three, saw that her son actually had a good iron rice bowl, she quit her job and ran to become a screenwriter. To tell the truth, my mother, who was working in other places, was almost so angry that she was not even in the mood to go to work! I couldn't wait to fly home and ask my son why in person.

He Lan was in her 20s when she was introduced by an acquaintance and met Shen Bai's father, Shen Zhengming. At that time, love was still very simple, and it was not as involved in all aspects as it is now.
