"Well, yes! The police version of "In the Name of the People". And what about the heroine of the story? It's as if the first episode hasn't come out yet. Editor-in-chief Wang Lilan asked Shen Bai with great interest. She has also been in the industry for many years, and almost all of the plots will know whether they have selling points and commercial value as soon as they hear them.

The drama "In the Name of the People" washed away the low-level interest of Hunan Satellite TV at the beginning, and only knew the image of entertainment. When most TV stations are obsessed with anti-Japanese dramas and bloody urban dramas, it stands out. Successfully cut down the ratings of a single episode of the city network by more than 4%. The Douban score was once as high as 9.2 points, which was blown up by the comments of netizens from all sides.

"People's Daily", Xinhua News Agency and other mainstream media have praised it. You can see how sensational it is.

"The heroine's words, she was an prosecutor in the prosecutor's office in the 90s. Because she was involved in a case more than 20 years ago, she had an accident and unfortunately died. And it is precisely because of the protagonist's crossing that she temporarily got rid of her original destiny and assisted the protagonist. ”

"But the end result is still possible...... So every time the protagonist travels back to the present world, he still finds that the heroine is not alive. And in the end, the heroine vaguely felt her fate. So from a certain moment on, she no longer asks about her future self......"

I have to admit that someone is very talented in making up stories. As soon as I had an idea, I came up with such a plot with twists and turns and suspense. It can whet the appetite of the audience.

"The heroine is going to die or something, a lover must not end up married, this is full of malice from a single dog. Shen Bai thought darkly in his heart. This is his first creation, and he doesn't know what art is. I only know that the feeling is coming, so I arrange it directly. Anyway, he is a screenwriter, and he has the final say in the plot for the time being.

"The plot you said is quite radical, isn't it a little too much, screenwriter Shen Bai? Wang Lilan pondered for a moment and expressed her opinion.

But at the moment when she finished speaking, Wang Lilan suddenly smiled and said, "But I like it." In this kind of story, I think that compared with the perfect ending, adding some imperfections appropriately will be closer to reality and have more of that flavor. ”

Wang Lilan's first half of the sentence hit Shen Bai a little at first. But as soon as the second half of the sentence came out, the mood was like riding a roller coaster, up and down, a little exciting.

"Thank you. Shen Bai politely thanked him. He even wanted to kill the male protagonist. But considering the audience's glass heart, it is estimated that the dead heroine will be sad for a long time. If another actor dies, it is estimated that the ancestral grave of the screenwriter will be dug up......

"In this way, Li Yue, go and call Manager Liu from the operation department and ask him to read the script written by Shen Bai. At this time, the editor-in-chief Wang Lilan commanded his subordinates in front of someone.

"Okay, Editor-in-Chief Wang. When Li Yue heard this, he immediately got up and stood up from his position, and then walked out of the door of the conference room.

Then, Wang Lilan, who was sitting opposite, naturally explained to Shen Bai, "That's right, screenwriter Shen Bai, our operation department of Great Aim will estimate your work. If they feel that there is commercial value, they will further secure funds, select partners, determine directors and actors, etc. So their opinion is also very important. ”

From Wang Lilan's explanation, Shen Bai can hear that this film and television operation department is one level higher than the editorial department in terms of status. Therefore, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department will make the first confirmation, feel that all aspects are more sufficient, and then the operation department will estimate the commercial value and make the final confirmation.

But fortunately, the operations department considers all aspects, which are actually similar to the editorial department. The questions that will be asked are also the same questions that Wang Lilan asked just now. It's just that they have more decision-making. It's not that the people in the operations department will see it more accurately than the editorial department. After all, the market value of a film, no one can guarantee the ticket, it is all estimated by feeling and experience.

So, Manager Liu, who was in the operation department, appeared in front of the conference room with two colleagues in a suit. Shen Bai replied again according to the answer just now.

Manager Liu, whose full name is Liu Haode, is in his early 50s this year and has been in the industry for more than 20 years. He is of medium stature, neither tall nor fat. The hair on the temples is a little gray, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and mouth are very noticeable. The whole person looks quite energetic, and belongs to the type of middle-aged and elderly uncle with some temperament.

Liu Haode looked at the script in his hand, and quietly analyzed it with two colleagues from the operation department next to him.

In the domestic TV drama industry, to be honest, there is no shortage of markets, actors and directors, and there is no shortage of so-called investors. The only thing missing is a good script. It is the heart and soul of the whole TV series.

Therefore, many well-known actors and directors will ask to read the script before taking over the filming of a TV series. If the script is good enough, then they will be more than willing to participate in this film. After all, bad movies will damage their reputation. And good films can help them gain appreciation, win awards, and gain fame and fortune.

The long and heart-wrenching discussion lasted for nearly 20 minutes. Shen Bai's "Time Detective", Liu Haode They have seen it before. Now listen to his main story, as well as the ending.

Liu Haode needs to give Shen Bai a reasonable script quote from his professional point of view. If the quotation meets Shen Bai's psychological expectations, then you can sign a contract and confirm the outline theme and the like into the contract.

"Well, from my personal point of view, there are still a lot of highlights in this script. It's just that Mr. Shen Bai, you also know that you have just entered the industry now, you are a rookie screenwriter, and you have not had any previous works. And this industry is very dependent on fame. ”

"So the offer we made on our side may not be as high as you expected. But the guarantees are reasonable. Please also be mentally prepared. Liu Haode looked directly into Shen Bai's eyes and said seriously.

Over the years, he has also been in contact with many newcomer screenwriters, and knows that many newcomers have higher hearts than the sky at the beginning. So that I had a wrong perception of myself and failed to recognize it well.

Shen Bai at the conference table nodded slightly after listening to the words. He has also seen the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry on the Internet. For the same work, the remuneration of a new screenwriter is several times less than that of a famous screenwriter. This industry is like this, it can be said that it only recognizes fame, eats people and does not spit out bones.

"Okay, Manager Liu, I think I was prepared for this before I came. "Shen Bai is not the kind of person who is arrogant and arrogant. However, if the other party opens the price, it is too low. Then he could only politely decline and find another home.
