Chapter 348: Showdown
Li Longji knows that every author treats his own as a child, and he can't wait to be able to take it all by himself and make it into a TV series or movie.
But obviously, writing and making TV dramas and movies are two or even many different fields, and no one can do them all.
The director can't do the work of the crew, and they need different crew roles to cooperate before they can finish filming a TV series or movie.
Thinking about it, Li Longji felt that it was wrong, he came over with Chen Siyu today very suddenly, and Chen Ziang and Zhang Baoying didn't know at all.
Since Chen Ziang and Zhang Baoying didn't know that they were coming, how could they sit and wait for them to enter the network, Li Longji was a little puzzled.
Could it be that Chen Ziang's acting talent is really good?
As a director, Li Longji must want to cast his own roles, especially important roles, and he hopes that he can call the shots.
But the reality is that many times important casting is run by the company, and the director can't do anything about it.
For example, if there is capital investment, and the other party asks for whom, and the partner does not agree, then it will be split up.
And the director and others, if they want to shoot it, they have to agree to the capital side.
"My junior brother's acting talent is indeed extraordinary, and when he took the art exam, I was an examiner and witnessed his performance. Li Qiuting also spoke for Chen Ziang, although she didn't know the contract between Chen Ziang and Tianshui Film and Television, but when she saw the teacher praising Chen Ziang so much, she could only pursue it.
The teacher is showing favor to Li Longji, hoping that if Li Longji has a role, he can give Chen Ziang a chance.
"Does Ziang have any film and television works?" asked Li Longji curiously.
As far as he knows, Chen Ziang has no experience in film and television works.
The starting point is the protagonist, the male number one, and this starting point is too high.
Not only Li Longji was shocked, but Zhang Baoying felt hanging.
So it's no wonder that Li Longji is really not sure that Chen Ziang plays the protagonist of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Ling Huchong, this role is the soul of the character.
Before you don't know the strength of the other party, you will be judged by your qualifications, which is the safest approach.
It's nothing if the supporting roles aren't brilliant, it's acceptable that the second and third numbers are not strong, and if the protagonist has a problem, it's simply ruining the entire TV series or movie.
"It doesn't seem to be there yet, right?" Zhang Baoying said, looking at Li Qiuting, she didn't know anyway.
"It seems so. Li Qiuting said.
Li Longji was a little relieved now, and Chen Ziang couldn't get up.
However, he was also afraid that Chen Ziang would insist on taking the contract by himself, which would give him a headache.
There is a contract, Chen Ziang can't get on it himself, and if he designates a Tianshui Film and Television who can't afford or can't help him, he will be finished, and both will lose.
Li Longji came over today, not only to talk about the script, but also about the hero and heroine.
He learned from Chen Siyu and the company that this Chen Ziang is actually very difficult to mess with, and he can really do it if both sides lose.
Tianshui Film and Television doesn't want to be yellow "Smiling Proud Jianghu", so it can only be said and persuaded.
……
The banquet ends.
Chen Ziang sent Zhang Baoying away, and Li Qiuting was also leaving, but Zhang Baoying asked her to stay.
Zhang Baoying has learned that Chen Ziang has a special contract with Tianshui Film and Television.
Li Qiuting and Chen Ziang returned to the company, and Li Longji and Chen Siyu also followed.
The company's tea room is indoors.
Li Longji is ready to have a showdown with Chen Ziang, which is exactly what Chen Ziang wants to do.
Li Longji didn't believe that Chen Ziang could write a script, at least he had to get the script before he believed it, and then see if Chen Ziang's so-called script was the script he wanted.
A writer and a screenwriter are two different things. A screenwriter must be able to write a series of literary works such as prose and poetry, and a writer can also write a screenplay. After all, it's all pen work, it's not difficult to write, but it's not necessarily good if you want to write.
However, the difference between the two is still significant.
First, the thinking is different, the writer is mainly literary thinking, while the screenwriter is often based on picture thinking. The literary nature of the drama screenwriter is stronger, but he is never a traditional writer, and he must also consider the issue of stage presentation, but his literary nature is mostly reflected in the lines. And the thinking of film and television screenwriters is more graphic.
Second, the way of writing is different. The language is often explanatory, or rather emotionally descriptive. But the screenwriter's writing style is mainly descriptive, without any embellishment, and the script of a good screenwriter is very dry. All emotional changes need to be externalized for presentation. When I was studying, I slowly developed the habit of whitewashing. Do not write about unused explanatory language, and do not write about unclear emotional descriptions. For example: "The heart throbs, eclipsed" The script will be written as "Bow your head, don't speak, your body is shaking, and your hands are pinching the corners of your clothes" and so on. Because the first way of writing will be asked by the director and actors: how to act?
Third, the creative mode is different. Writers tend to work independently, while TV series and movies tend to be created by teams. After the script was completed, it was also changed by the director and the actors for the second time, and there were other problems encountered during the actual shooting. Although most of the stage playwrights are done independently, they are also restricted by the theater, like many stage plays are completed in the theater.
Fourth, the purpose and audience of creation are different. The purpose of literary creation is literal expression, and the audience is a broad and universal group. The script serves the filming and theater, and the actual user of the content is in a narrow sense, which is the filming crew or theater company.
Li Longji has been making TV series and movies for more than 20 years, mainly making TV series, and he has seen too many screenwriters.
A good director's favorite is a good script.
And a good script comes from the screenwriter.
So directors like screenwriters are no exception.
Of course, directors who are conceited and think they can tell stories are not so kind to screenwriters.
No matter how low the status of screenwriters is, it does not hinder the dependence and favor of all directors on good scripts.
"Ziang, I don't know when the script will come out?" Li Longji asked, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has just been approved, and filming will not start until next year at the earliest, and now the first task of the project is the script.
Only after getting the script and finalizing the script can the crew prepare and invite the actors.
"It's going to come out soon. Chen Ziang knew what Li Longji and Chen Siyu were thinking, and the old god was there.
"How long is it going to be?" said Chen Siyu with a smile.
Li Qiuting looked at Chen Ziang, she was very clear about the division of labor of the crew, after all, she had been mixed with the crew for more than ten years.
Can Chen Ziang write a script?
At this moment, the door of the tea room was pushed open.
Li Hui had some sweat stains on her forehead and came in with a stack of documents.
"Isn't this coming out?" Chen Ziang said with a smile and took the document from Li Hui's hand.
Li Hui helped him go back to the house he rented and get the script.
Li Longji, Chen Siyu and Li Qiuting were all taken aback.
Chen Siyu wiped his sweat, and before it was over, the script came out.
But think about it, the physical or electronic version is not finished, because Chen Ziang is in control, and it is estimated that it has already been written.
