Chapter 276: A Discussion of the Work

"I don't know what kind of script Mr. Qingbai will prepare, it's really exciting."

In the spacious and bright room, Yuan Qingxi was sitting on the side drinking tea, his eyes were a little dark, the stubble on his chin had not been shaved clean, the hot flashes of the room made his face oily, his eyes were dull due to fatigue, and his skin had lost its luster.

"The script is still being written!" Wang Ming asked with concern: "Director Yuan doesn't seem to be in very good physical condition, so I still have to pay attention to rest in the future!" ”

"It's okay, little problem!" Yuan Qingxi waved his hand, and then asked, "I wonder if Teacher Qingbai can tell me the general plot of the script?" Either way, we're partners now! ”

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Qingxi spoke again: "Actually, I mainly want to see the quality of the script, if the script is very good but unexpectedly failed, you and I can use Tokyo Film as an intermediary, and then you will hand over the script to our TV station to produce......"

As soon as he heard this, Wang Ming understood the other party's thoughts.

This is a very common thing. A call for papers, no matter what, there is always a first and second, and the first in glory is not counted, so what about the second place? So at this time, it is the turn of the TV station to appear, and they will also send special judges to participate in the selection, and finally select the favorite script from the solicitation of manuscripts, negotiate with the screenwriter and the solicitor, and bring it back to the TV station for production, so this kind of manuscript is often sold at a higher price than the first place.

So how do TV stations choose their works? The answer is that the screenwriter submits to the TV station.

If the TV station thinks the script is good, it will send someone to participate in the selection, once the promising work does not win the first place, there is a great probability of being included in the TV station's pocket, which is a great joy for both the TV station and the screenwriter.

"The script is ......" Wang Ming hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to tell the truth, anyway, it's just a rough plot, for the sake of the other party's recent overwork for "Fate zero"-

"I prepared two scripts......"

As soon as Wang Ming's words began, Yuan Qingxi was suppressed!

Most screenwriters write scripts, and they hold back for a few months to make them up, but you're good, you have prepared two scripts in less than two weeks after you got the news, not to brag, if the scripts made maintain a consistent level, then don't let other screenwriters play? However, even if he was surprised by his good upbringing, he didn't interrupt Wang Ming, and the facts were good to brag about, and the plot was true.

"One is called "Neon Genesis Evangelion", the story is about the millennium, a huge meteorite hit near the Antarctic iceberg, the high temperature melted the glacier, causing the global water level to rise, and then more than ten years of natural disasters and man-made disasters, to fifteen years later, suddenly appeared on the earth a kind of anthropomorphic huge mechanical combat unit, people called it the apostle, meaning the messenger of God, for this huge weapon, all kinds of military weapons of human beings are ineffective, and finally a certain organization with the support of the world's funds, Developed a kind of 'universal humanoid decisive battle weapon' directly controlled by the driver's nerves, which is a kind of body with a higher degree of fit, stronger synchronization rate, and stronger combat effectiveness, and this work, I tentatively set three protagonists, one man and two women......"

"EVA" is a story that tells the story of the changes in the inner world of the characters, exploring the root of the inner strength, this work uses a large number of stream-of-consciousness techniques, religious concepts, philosophical imagery, leaving a lot of mysteries and mysteries unsolved, the work about human nature and the characters' inner confusion, struggle, struggle and effort, as well as the discussion of the character's own sense of existence, for teenagers who are still in the process of perfecting themselves, has a positive and positive effect, this work has influenced several generations of Japanese animation audiences, known as an immortal classic, At the same time, it is also the second Japanese animation that Wang Ming watched when he was a child, and it is also the animation that impressed him the most when he was young, so the moment he received the news, he had the idea of making "EVA".

However, when his enthusiasm calmed down, he had to think about some practical issues. For example, Tokyo Film needs this type of animation or not.

Why is it that in singing competitions, people often think that the second place is better than the first place, but they are rated second? This is because the second place is not suitable for the theme of this time, or does not fit the requirements of the organizers. Wang Ming dared to guarantee that as long as he handed in "EVA", he would be able to win the second place at the highest, just because it was not suitable for the organizer.

"EVA" is too heavy, and the organizer's main idolization, focusing on the interaction between people is different, this work is deviant for them, they look at the script to give the second place is good, the first is absolutely impossible, but if you don't hand in the script, he is a little unwilling, after all, he is using the evaluation of Tokyo Films, to get a high exposure, and then sign a contract with the TV station to jointly create the idea of this cross-era work, now there is the demon capital TV station to make fun, That's just a lot of good!

The most important thing is that the organizer did not stipulate that each person is limited to one work, so he prepared another work to hit the first.

"The second work I've prepared, titled Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, is about a day when humans use nuclear bombs to attack the satellites of a new human, causing a lot of casualties, which leads to a direct war between the two forces. And the protagonists of this work are also three, two men and one woman, but the relationship between them is more complicated......"

Gundam SEED is Gundam's rescue work. In the 22 years from '78 to the turn of the millennium, Gundam was known for its serious depictions of war psychology, cool fights, and gorgeous mechs, and the appearance of Gundam SEED broke this barrier, making fans who were suffering from aesthetic fatigue cheer and attracting more young people, especially young women. This work highlights the element of "Singer", but at the same time adds more delicate emotional descriptions, and with high-quality music, it pushes the twilight Gundam series to the top again.

This work saved a world of Gundam, and I hope it can save the world too, after all, the problems encountered by Tokyo Films now are similar to those encountered by Sunrise at the beginning, all of which are problems such as the aging of the audience, the disconnection from today's market, and the lack of tricks in the plot of the work. In addition, the animation company takes too much care of the old audience, so that the ratings of the work are getting worse, and it has won audience comments such as "the work is getting more and more boring", "eating the old book", and "watching a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama at eight o'clock".

And judging from the news obtained before, the market value of Tokyo Pictures is estimated to be around three billion, and this kind of large company will not be separated and collapsed so easily, so they do have the heart of transformation, so Gundam SEED is the delicious meal delivered to the door, unless the other party is single-mindedly killed, otherwise with the level of Gundam SEED, it is not a big problem to win the first place. Of course, if there is a better work, Wang Ming doesn't mind getting a second place, after all, if the second place is a second place, although the patent fee paid to Tokyo Film is more, the part that the author himself can get has also increased, which is fundamentally more cost-effective.

Tired eyes glow. Yuan Qingxi didn't expect that the topic that was originally just used to open up the atmosphere would lead to such a great opportunity, these two works, no matter which one is snatched up, it belongs to the existence of the hegemonic fan, but it sounds like the stream of consciousness animation of "EVA" is a bit high, and the estimated investment is not low, but the audience is absolutely loyal, compared to the SEED Although there are many progressions, it is precisely because of the many progressions that the ratings are guaranteed, and the advertising fee income will be more. Both have their own benefits, which makes it a bit difficult for him to do so. He wants both works, but the TV station doesn't have so many animation directors and doesn't have so much money, so if he cheats the work because of his own reasons, he will not be happy.

After hesitating for a moment, he still planned to probe the tone first: "So has Mr. Qingbai's script started to be created?" ”

"EVA has already started writing, and Gundam SEED is also listing the general plot direction of each episode, and if it is all completed, it is estimated that it will be next month."

"So fast?" Yuan Qingxi asked in surprise.

"It's already very slow, after all, the general direction of the work is in my mind, and I just need to write the plot word by word."

Wang Ming's words made Yuan Qingxi's breath stagnate, and then he smiled bitterly, and he didn't know what other people's expressions would be when they heard this, but he still said businesslikely: "Okay, after Mr. Qingbai finishes writing the script, please be sure to bring it to me for a look, and I will take the script to negotiate with the station at that time, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer!" ”

"Thank you!"
