Chapter 9 The script does not cost money
"How does it feel. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Looking at Shao Gong lying on the couch, Ouyang Ke felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, he really didn't expect this little brother to give him such a show. Then he opened the corner of the curtain and looked at the crowd below to shout and drink, the sales of drinks in their bar tonight are probably going to create a new height since the opening of the bar: "If you can't drink it, don't drink it! I see that you are also the amount of two bottles of beer, don't fight with the drunkards in the future." ā
"I can't help it!"
Shao Gong rubbed his forehead and said, "People appreciate wine because they can afford us, and they can't help but give others face!" Then he looked at Ouyang Ke and said, "Brother Ke, you won't drag me up because you were worried that your brother would get drunk!"
"That's just one aspect, because I'm going to talk to you about the script next. Hearing the script, Shao Gong perked up and immediately sat up straight.
"Don't think that I asked you to write a script because I wanted to film, because I don't have that connection, and I can't do anything if I have a script. Someone asked me to find a screenwriter to write a script, and you were the only kid under me who claimed to be a screenwriter, so I gave it to you. ā
Ouyang Ke took a sip of red wine and said: "I showed the script to others, it's not a big problem, but now people ask me to ask you how much you want to sell this script, you give a fair price, and I can give you a decision." ā
Regarding this problem, Shao Gong is clear in his heart, because he was a street screenwriter in his previous life, but he has also experienced it in this era. At present, the price of domestic screenwriters is about to be in the following grades.
The first is a novice from a non-professional background, generally a good script is only 3,000 per episode, because hundreds of dollars or even for nothing abound.
The second is a novice from a professional class, generally at most five or six thousand, if the opportunity is good, two or three thousand prices are done, and their level is generally not low, but lack of experience and opportunities.
The third is that the screenwriters who have debuted for a few years are generally around 10,000, they have the ability and experience, and they are the main force in the current domestic screenwriting market, and some of them will have a higher price of about 15,000, but the condition is that there are no less than three very successful works. These three refer to the kind of films that have been filmed and have high ratings.
Fourth, of course, the price is higher, 20,000 or 30,000 or more for an episode of TV series, they are all famous screenwriters of movies and TV series, and master screenwriters who have won the best screenwriting award.
As for Shao Gong, he is not a college graduate, but with enthusiasm and dreams, he is purely a non-professional novice. Although there is no problem with the script of his "Liu Laogen" and the quality is also excellent, people can buy it back and find an adaptation at random, change a few strokes on the original basis, and the signature is someone else's. He doesn't want his hard work to be signed by others, because he still has a back hand, if the script is really Uncle Benshan, then he will definitely have the opportunity to cooperate with the person behind Ouyang Ke who wants the script again, but he has greater ambitions now, so it is absolutely cost-effective to exchange the script for a future.
So Shao Gong thought for a while and said: "Brother Ke, you also know, I am a completely newcomer now, I don't value anything that is not money, what I want is an opportunity, a chance to prove that what I wrote really wants to be made into a TV series, you know, I came out of my home to the capital, just to prove to my parents that their son chose the right path." None of the scripts were made into a TV series, and I didn't have the face to go back to meet them. As for this script, I didn't plan to ask for money, but I had two conditions. ā
"Don't ask for money and conditions, I really don't understand what you think. But you are my brother, so naturally I can't trick you, talk about your conditions. Ouyang Ke said: "If the conditions are reasonable, there should be no problem." ā
"First of all, I wrote this script with a lot of painstaking work, and I'm sure the buyer behind you can see that he doesn't even need to change a word to make a TV series. So if this script is really a TV series, I don't need any money, but the screenwriter's signature must be Ouyang Shaogong. ā
Shao Gong said with blazing eyes: "Second, I want to get more learning opportunities, so if they want to make a TV series, I hope to work in the crew." Of course, I don't mean I want to do tricks, but I want to do a handyman, any job is fine, even if there is no salary, just let me go, but I have to take care of food and housing. ā
"Hehe, odd jobs that don't need money. ā
Hearing these two conditions, Ouyang Ke laughed: "Are you very rich now? But seeing that Shao Gong was not joking, Ouyang Ke waved his hand and said: "You go back first! I will tell others about your two points, but I dare not guarantee that I will fight for it, at least I can't let you suffer." ā
"Okay, then I'll leave it all to Brother Toke. ā
Saying that, Shao Gong got up and opened the door and walked out, he walked through the back door on the second floor, the bustle of the front hall continued, if he went to the front hall, he would definitely be filled into a dead dog.
After Shao Gong left, the bathroom in the private room was opened, and Sister Jin walked out of it, her brows furrowed very tightly, and she looked at Ouyang Ke and said, "Ake, your little brother is very ambitious! ā
"I think he's just a little silly, the script is given away for nothing, and the two requirements he put forward are really funny. Ouyang Ke shook his head and smiled, took a goblet and poured a glass of red wine for Sister Jin, handed it to her, and said: "And the song he wrote was actually given away for nothing, how have I ever seen this, I think he wants to give it to others." ā
"I think it's you who is stupid. ā
Sister Jin held a wine glass, sat on the sofa and separated Ouyang Ke from a tea towel, and said, "In the entertainment industry, what is the most important thing." ā
"That ......" Ouyang Ke was in trouble, he wanted to enter but unfortunately couldn't get in, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
"The first is connections, and the second is fame. ā
Sister Jin said: "Your little brother's shrewdness is here, his script doesn't need money, he wants to exchange his works for connections, you also know that Brother Benshan, a person who values righteousness, I promise that he will be able to make a decision after giving him the script, but people don't want his money, and he really wants the script, this Brother Benshan will owe Shaogong the favor of the boy, with the character of the big brother, will he owe this kid? will definitely find a chance to pay it back."
And he also asked to go to the crew, just eat and live without money, this is where his ambition lies. Why can't you see what he's doing? He's going to learn, he wants to learn how to shoot TV series, and after knowing the crew's process, he can lay the foundation for his future shooting.
As for the female singer, although she is good-looking, the kid's song is not given for free, maybe it is really like Shaogong said, the girl sings "People on the Road" is indeed better than him. But the female singer herself is very powerful, as long as someone praises her, she will be able to hold a solo concert in less than three years. And that Shaogong has such a creative genius, as long as he praises Meng Xiangting after becoming famous, he will be a cash cow. ā
Speaking of which, Sister Jin excitedly drank the wine in the cup and tried to calm down. After Ouyang Ke re-added it to her, Sister Jin continued: "Although you want to enter the entertainment industry, you don't know how to get in, and I am in the dance circle, although the dance circle is also the entertainment industry, but after all, it can't be compared with film and television entertainment, although you have connections, you can't help you." But that kid is different, if you don't believe me, he definitely has the ambition to open a film and television company. ā
"Film and television companies. Ouyang Ke couldn't believe it: "His current strength is very poor, and he doesn't have that strength at all." ā
That's why he needs connections and fame. ā
Sister Jin said: "Using the script to exchange contacts, what he needs most now is to keep learning and accumulating experience, so he wants to go to the crew." As for fame, I'm sure he's waiting for an opportunity. And he has such a genius creative talent, as long as there is a stage, he can shine. Ake, such a talent is your nobleman. So, you have to find a way to tie yourself to him in the same boat, if he is in need, you have to support him with all your might, and don't tie him to you, let him go out to study, the more he learns, the easier it will be for you to rise to the top. He's better at great things than you are, you know?"
"I understand, Sister Jin. ā
Ouyang Ke's eyes flashed, he touched the cup with Sister Jin, drank the wine in the cup and said, "I'll let you out." ā
"Well, take me to the parking place, and I'll drive to Brother Benshan by myself. Although Shaogong's two conditions are very low, I don't guarantee that Brother Benshan will agree, but I will try my best to help him fight for it. Sister Jin put down the wine glass, and Ouyang Ke immediately asked someone to send her out. Watching Sister Jin leave, Ouyang Ke muttered: "Dapeng has not yet taken off, just because the wings are not full, Shaogong, I, Ouyang Ke, will hope to bet on you." ā
Under the neon lights, two figures.
But it was Ouyang Shaogong and Meng Xiangting walking side by side, and Shaogong didn't expect that when he slipped out of the back door, he would meet Meng Xiangting who also slipped out. Shao Gong sent the song and sang with her, Meng Xiangting was grateful, so she walked with him.
The two chatted while walking, and soon arrived at Meng Xiangting's residence. The place she rented was not far from where Shaogong lived, it was a row of tube buildings, and it was also one of the targets of demolition, but the construction had not started yet, so the houses were rented out. And here are all single small suites, although the building has been built for a long time, but the building is sturdy, much stronger than Shaogong and their dangerous buildings, so the rent is much more expensive than Shaogong they rent.
Seeing that she was downstairs, Meng Xiangting invited: "Do you want to go up and sit." ā
"It's so late, you rest early, I'll go back first. ā
Shao Gong knows this woman's thoughts, she is testing herself! Don't think that if you give someone a singer, you will repay him with your body, he is sure that if he said yes with a smile just now! Meng Xiangting will definitely throw the score of "People on the Journey" in his face, and will give him a loud slap and scold: "Shameless." Then he went upstairs haughtily, and he would definitely not go to the entertainment bar to sing in the future.
Seeing Shaogong turn around and leave, Meng Xiangting said: "I just heard that you want to learn musical instruments in a bar, and I happen to know how to play musical instruments, and I am still a master! ā
As a result, as soon as Shao Gong heard the instrument, he immediately couldn't walk, and turned around and said, "You want to teach me??"
"Well, come up!" said Meng Xiangting, who was about to walk towards the corridor.
"No, it's too late, it will delay your rest, and practicing a musical instrument at night will disturb the people and make it easy to get beaten. ā
Shao Gong hurriedly shook his hand and said, "That, I'll come tomorrow morning and study during the day." After speaking, he ran directly to his place of residence.
"It seems that I think too much, and yes, he is still too young, how can he have that kind of mind. ā
Meng Xiangting saw that Shao Gong had run away, and went upstairs with a wry smile. When she said that, she didn't want to think that she was only twenty years old, two years older than Shao Gongcai. And her own mentality is no longer young.
In a villa community in Beijing, a car drove in quickly. After parking the car on the parking apron in front of a villa, the car door opened, and Sister Jin stepped out of the car and rang the villa's doorbell. Then a man dressed as a nanny came out and welcomed her in.
This is a temporary residence of the artist Benshan in Beijing, he usually lives in Shenyang, but now it is close to the Spring Festival Gala, so he came to Beijing to live for a short time.
In the living room, Benshan was sitting in casual clothes, and when he saw Sister Jin coming in, he greeted him and said, "Xiaojin, you are here." ā
"Well, I've got a script for you. ā
"So fast!!"
Stunned, Benshan was surprised: "I just asked you to find a screenwriter a few days ago, and it will be written so soon!"
"Well, I watched the content of the first episode, and it completely meets the requirements of the eldest brother. ā
Sister Jin took out the script, and when Benshan saw it, it was actually a notebook. But I still took it and looked at it seriously. As a result, I couldn't take my eyes off it anymore. And looking at the words on it, although the handwriting is neat, it is very immature, revealing the breath of youth. Benshan said while watching: "It's a young man who wrote the script!"
"yes! That kid hasn't made it past Double Ten yet!!"
"Double Ten??"
This time, Motoyama was surprised again: "A teenager can write such a script." ā
"Isn't it? That kid was young, but he was a genius, and his creative ability really amazed me. Sister Jin took the tea from the nanny, took a sip and said, "Brother, how about reading this script!"
"Yes, very much to my appetite. Well, please wait for me for a moment. ā
As he spoke, Benshan sped up his browsing until he finished reading the last page, but his brows furrowed: "I want this book, how much does he want." ā
"No money, but two conditions. Sister Jin said, and then said Shaogong's two conditions.
āā¦ā¦ā
For these two conditions, Benshan's brows furrowed even tighter, but after thinking a little in his heart, he said: "In this way, giving him 100,000 yuan is considered a reward." It's okay to go to work in the crew, I'm a group composed of my own apprentices and family, where does he go as an outsider, and it's not convenient, we are not nannies, the place where I chose to shoot is steep mountains, and there are wolves on the mountains, in case he runs away, it will be more troublesome. ā
"If you say so, then I'll have to do it. After that, Sister Jin sighed: "It's a pity, a talented and good seedling." ā
"I know he's talented because you didn't even look at what he wrote on the last page. With that, he handed the script to Sister Jin.
Sister Jin took it and saw that it was written: "Write here for the time being, the content of the script is too long, so it can be divided into two parts." The content of the first part is like this, and the rest of the content can be regarded as the second part of "Liu Laogen". ā
"This kid!!" Sister Jin smiled bitterly.
"What I need is a script, and it's okay to work with him to buy the script, and it's even better to sign his name, but I don't like scheming people. My group doesn't need outsiders who don't know the roots. ā
Benshan thought for a while and said: "Don't tell him these words, in short, I'll take a look at this script first, and then ask him to buy the second script if the response is good." Rather than owing favors, I prefer to buy with money, which is fair and reasonable. ā
"Alright then!"
Sister Jin got up and said, "I'm sure, you will still cooperate." She took the money and drove away.
