The difference between Iceland and China is 8 hours, and 6 a.m. in Iceland is equal to 2 p.m. in China. At this time, Li Yue, the editor in charge of receiving the manuscript of Huace Film and Television, was wearing glasses and was busy reviewing the script in front of the computer.

The production scale of the company's TV dramas can reach more than 1,000 episodes per year, and the most famous ones are the well-known "Love Apartment" series, "Dragon Babu", "Deer and Ding Ji", "Why Sheng Xiaomo" and so on.

It should be said that with the listing of the company and the development of the TV drama industry, more and more scripts are now sent to their departments through email.

But it's hard to say about quality. First, many contributors themselves are not professional, they belong to the scripts created by hobbies, they do not have a clear understanding of the market, and their self-esteem is more serious.

The second is the logical ability and storytelling ability, which need to be improved. Many plots are really like being read for kindergarten and elementary school students, which is very inexplicable. Even the three views of some scripts are very problematic, obviously this will not even pass the review.

The script submission of the mailbox is known in the industry as a wild script. For editor Li Yue, this is an additional way to discover new screenwriters and good scripts. Because some well-known screenwriters will not put the script in the public mailbox. Instead, there are direct investors, and there are filmmakers looking for customization.

As for the price, TV series are charged per episode. The first-line screenwriter is paid more than 300,000 yuan for a single episode, and if the script is excellent, the price of an episode is 500,000 or 600,000. For second- and third-tier screenwriters, it is much worse, about 50,000 to 180,000 yuan.

Editor Li Yue, who was sitting in front of the computer, swiped the script one by one. The flickering screen lit up her cheeks. It can be seen from her expression that these wild scripts reviewed are all unsatisfactory. There is no way to screen it out, submit it to the editor-in-chief, and do a second review.

Many scripts, just by looking at this bizarre name, you know that it will definitely not work. For example, "I stand under the same roof with you to hide from the rain", "The Love Story of Youth Campus", "You Go, You Go, My Burst Band". It can be seen from the name that the screenwriter's writing level is really spicy.

Just as Li Yue was negating the rows and rows of wild scripts. I saw a newly received submission email, which attracted some of her interest, "Time Detective"? ”

She couldn't help but hold her glasses, and then opened the email attachment to see the synopsis and the quality of the script.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't watch it, as soon as you look at it, the entire attention of Li Yue's editor is focused on this eye-catching theme creativity and exciting plot.

"The protagonist travels back and forth through the 90s, 10s, and then solves many shocking cases in China? At the same time, it will trigger a butterfly effect, and some changes in the past will directly affect the future..."

"Shhh...... This is a test of the screenwriter's logical ability. Li Yue said, and immediately looked at the content of the first episode of the script.

The test of a screenwriter's true level is not just about creative subjects. What's more critical is that his grasp of the plot of each episode, the handling of details, the analysis of the characters and the change of mentality must be in place. Although you don't need to be at the level of a top film critic, you must at least be better than most audiences.

At the beginning of the first episode of "Time Detective", it tells the story of Liu Mu, the male protagonist of the film, who accidentally found himself in the ability to go back to the past during an operation to arrest bandits. Although it was only a few seconds at first, it was this time difference that allowed him to dodge the bullet that was meant to hit. And also saved his teammates around him......

Li Yue just watched the opening scene, and was completely attracted by the plot and brain hole inside. To say that there are so many TV series now, the competition can be described as very fierce. It can be seen from the ratings of various TV stations at the end of each year and the number of online broadcasts that the current TV dramas pay attention to the survival of the fittest, the bad ones can be very poor, and the good ones can go to heaven.

When many viewers watched the first episode of the new drama, they had already decided whether to chase it later, which was not to his liking. So the plot of the first episode is very crucial, it must be engaging and eye-catching.

Obviously, Shen Bai's "Time Detective" is up to standard. and vaguely made editor Li Yue feel that this is likely to be a phenomenal suspense drama. It is very much in line with the preferences of young people today.

So Li Yue immediately searched for Shen Bai's name on the Internet. I thought it was an experienced screenwriter who was discovered by myself. But after a search, there was no screenwriter named Shen Bai at all.

Li Yue forwarded the email to his immediate boss, Wang Lilan. She is the editor-in-chief of the editorial department of Huace Film and Television, and has richer industry experience and a more professional audit vision. He manages the company's TV drama submission department, novel IP division, and independent planning department.

If the editor-in-chief Wang Lilan thinks that this script is really good, then Li Yue's performance appraisal will be stable. Means a lot of small money.

Even if the TV series starts filming and is warmly sought after in the market, the company will definitely give out additional bonuses and organize benefits such as traveling.

As for Shen Bai, the creator of the script, the treatment is even better. Not only is the remuneration rich, but also the fame has changed from obscurity to well-known in the industry. Not to mention the first line, it should not be a problem to go up to the third line and the quasi-second line.

"Editor-in-Chief Wang, I just forwarded a submission to your mailbox, called "Time Detective". Looking at the creativity and content, it feels pretty good. After sending the email, Li Yue immediately left a message for Wang Lilan on QQ.

Recently, the editorial department of the company has been under a lot of pressure on indicators, and I haven't found any high-quality scripts for a long time. Most of them are shoddy plots, creative, and used to run to fill the numbers. As for the works that can compete with other TV drama companies, there are almost none.

Whether it is the receipt of the script or the IP development of major novel websites, there are no good discoveries. This made Wang Lilan, as the editor-in-chief, really feel a lot of pressure. I can't wait to pick up the whip and spur the employees under my hands, as well as the screenwriters who have cooperated, so that they can quickly create good works and cope with the pressure above.

Not long after the message was sent, the editor-in-chief Wang Lilan briefly replied on QQ, "Well, I'm already watching." ”

The leader's reply made Li Yue's heart a little up and down. She is just a small editor of the company, and whether she can go through the film and television process still needs the nod of the boss.

Of course, it is not enough for the editor-in-chief to nod alone, they are only responsible for handing over the good scripts found to the operation department. After estimating its commercial value, the operation department will secure the funds, select partners, determine the candidates for directors and actors, and apply for filming permits.

"Li Yue, come to my office!" Ten minutes later, editor-in-chief Wang Lilan sent QQ.
