Chapter 20 Rules

In the conference room, Zhu Ziqing patted his ass and went to play with Shi Qingyun and the brothers. Chen Guoli and the others were not so happy, on the contrary, at this time, they were as uncomfortable as eating a piece of Xiang.

"It's too arrogant. He...... He thought he was somebody. A yellow-haired child who has not dried up thinks he is great when he writes two books. Does he know what a TV series is?" Gan Liuping said with trembling lips, obviously angry.

"If you invest one or two million, you feel like a rich man? Who here is not a million-dollar net worth, and who is showing his face? ”

"If he is not satisfied, he shoots it ten times and hundreds of times, who does he think he is? naΓ―ve and ignorant. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The rest of the people also condemned angrily. In normal times, they will just hide and watch the jokes. Because they are both partners and competitors. The other party is unlucky, and they naturally like to hear it.

But not today. Gan Liuping is not the only one who is filming beyond the script, which one of you here is filming according to the original script? Gan Liuping is just unlucky to be pushed out to attract firepower for everyone.

Thinking of Zhu Ziqing's bad attitude, and thinking of his own Gan Liuping, not only would they not be able to read jokes, but they would become the same enemy.

But no matter how unhappy they are, they can only endure it. Who made the other party the largest investor, the original author, the editor-in-chief of the script, and the director of the crew.

The only one who can wrestle with Zhu Ziqing is Chen Guoli, who is the chief director. But since Zhu Ziqing left, he has been gloomy and doesn't say a word. Several people were about to dry their saliva, but he still didn't react.

In the end, Gan Liuping couldn't help but ask: "Teacher Chen, what should I do, you should give me a charter." We can't just let a hairy boy ride on our heads.

"Alas. Chen Guoli let out a long sigh and said something that made the others stunned: "If riding on his neck can make him discourage, I will wash his neck and send it to him immediately." ”

"Teacher Chen...... This ......"

"I'm to blame for this. His identity should be made clear to everyone in advance. Otherwise, not so many things would have happened. Chen Guoli ignored the shocked crowd and said to himself:

"It's not an exaggeration to say that he has been filmed ten times and hundreds of times, he should have a net worth of hundreds of millions by now. And he earned it in less than two years. ”

"Impossible, right? I know he's a big name in the literary world, except for a few best-selling novels. But the manuscript fee shouldn't have so much money, right?" someone asked in disbelief.

"I don't want to believe it's true, but that's what happened. Chen Guoli said helplessly, this person's question was exactly the same as his expression when he first learned the news.

Nineteen years old and less than twenty years old. I earned more than 100 million by writing for two years. It's just too fake. When did writing books make so much money?

But in the end, in the face of conclusive evidence, he had to believe that it was true.

"The most feared thing is not his money, but the network behind him. ”

"Isn't he from a civilian background? Even if he writes books and knows a lot of people, how many can he have?"

"Huh...... He is the grandson-in-law of the Tao Lin family. You should have heard of Tao Anping and Lin Kaishan, right? I heard that Zhu Ziqing deeply appreciated these two, and directly married his most beloved granddaughter to him. Chen Guoli smiled bitterly.

"Ah, Tao Anping, can't it be the new chief of the general staff mentioned on the news some time ago?" asked a certain director who paid attention to current affairs in a whisper.

"Yes, that's him. Chen Guoli nodded in confirmation.

"Sizzle......" everyone took a breath of cold air at the same time.

Gan Liuping shook his hand, and he didn't have time to pay attention to the water in the cup, and asked, "Teacher Chen." Is this news true?"

"Do you know who accompanied him when he bought the adaptation rights of this play? Tao Yingshuang. Chen Guoli said in a trance: "Tao Yingshuang is Tao Anping's own son." ”

The luck psychology was broken, and several directors present suddenly felt restless. Chief of the General Staff, this is the Chief of the General Staff.

They also know in ignorance that this is the top five real power faction in the Military Commission. A sneeze can wipe them out, and that's not just talk.

Zhu Ziqing was actually his family's grandson-in-law, if they knew this, they would have knelt down a long time ago. How dare you chirp here.

Thinking that Chen Guoli knew the identity of the other party but didn't tell them, the rest of the directors looked at him with unhappy eyes. You didn't say such important news in advance. Do you want to mix together in the future?

"Don't look at me like that, I only recently learned about this news. Several assistants were still looking at him with suspicion. Chen Guoli swore a curse: "What I said is true. If there is a lie, discipline me to go out and be hit by a car and die. ”

"Didn't you just say that Tao ...... when discussing the adaptation? Did Ying Shuang follow? You didn't know their relationship at that time?"

"All of Zhu Ziqing's novels were published in Tao Yingshuang's Silian Publishing House. At the time I thought they were just a partnership. Who would have thought they were relatives. Chen Guoli hurriedly explained.

Although the rest of the people were dissatisfied with this answer, they were quite convinced. It's not that they believe Chen's words. It's at this time. They have no choice but to believe.

"Teacher Chen, what do you say we should do? ”

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, you let it go, as long as you can save the relationship with him, it is worth paying a big price. ”

"I'll apologize to him later. Let's see what he means. However, there is one thing that must be remembered, and you must try to rely on the script as much as possible when editing in the later stage. Remove all the attractive highlights that you have added. Chen Guoli looked at these partners, why didn't he find them so undisciplined before.

"Of course, of course, we must follow the far script, and we must respect the opinion of the screenwriter. "How dare the directors say a word.

Besides, post-editing is a matter for the chief director and producer. Co-directors are not eligible to participate unless permitted. Their opinions are dispensable, and they naturally agree very readily.

With a sigh, Chen Guoli got up and left the conference room to find Zhu Ziqing. knew that Zhu Ziqing's background was so scary, and he would definitely not make his own decisions.

In his opinion, he doesn't blame himself at all, which director in China makes films according to the script. If it's all according to the script. The director will not become a puppet of the screenwriter. Then what do you need the director to do, just let the editor do it.

Everyone has their own ideas and has their own understanding when they see a story. The director is the group with the most ideas, and it is also the group with the most ego.

They always keep popping up with an idea and adding these ideas to the plot while filming. So, directors and screenwriters are opposed to each other a lot of the time.

How to deal with this contradiction between the screenwriter and the director has become a big problem. There's no denying it. The US imperialist side's approach to this issue is relatively the most reasonable.

They have the Screenwriters Guild. Once a script is written, it registers with the Screenwriters Guild. After finding an investor, we will make a revision based on the opinions of investors, directors, etc.

This modification must be approved by the screenwriter, otherwise it will be illegal and will be subject to legal responsibility. In the process of revision, the screenwriter still has a great right to speak. If he does not agree, he may terminate the modification at any time.

After the script is revised, investors and the Screenwriters Guild will make a final decision on the script. Once it is confirmed and the filming process begins, in principle, no one can move the script. The director can't do it, and neither can the screenwriter. The crew had to shoot according to the script.

Why didn't Hollywood directors shout that they were puppets of screenwriters? Anyone who knows the art knows that scripts can only provide a general direction. The details still have to be filled in by the director.

Film and television works are not successful if the script is well written. Transform a simple script into a colorful film and television drama. It's a diversity thing.

How to set the background of the picture, how to perform the actors, long or short shots, color brightness, costumes and props...... Sometimes, an actor's look and movement can affect the quality of a play. And it all depends on the director.

The screenwriter provides a story, and the director wants to bring it to life. There is no such thing as a puppet of whom. And filming is also a group activity, and there is no way to do it by relying on one or two people alone.

How does China deal with these things? Just kick the screenwriter away. The director can modify the script as he wishes. A simple screenwriter has no status in the domestic entertainment industry.

This is one of the reasons why there are so few people in China who are willing to work as screenwriters. If there are too few people working as screenwriters, there will naturally be fewer good stories.

There are few good scripts. Good movies are decreasing. Finally, it will affect the development of the entire film and television industry. It's a vicious circle, but that's not what the rules of the industry are.

Don't you know that this is a bad phenomenon? Why not make a change? Because no one wants to have one more person to share the cake.

Directors and producers are unwilling. The increased voice of screenwriters will dilute their power. Naturally, they were reluctant.

Entertainment companies don't dare, and they don't want to. Doing so will offend the director, and they dare not do it in the big domestic entertainment circle on the director's side.

Besides, the status of screenwriters has improved. The cost of the script will rise, and even the screenwriter will participate in the dividends. Affect their income.

The most important thing is that the film and television industry has not yet reached the point of exhaustion. On the contrary, everyone is doing well under this system.

Although they can't do Hollywood, the domestic market is enough for them to eat a lot of brains. There is no need to make these changes. Be a fool for one's pains.

In this environment, it is normal for Chen Guoli and others to revise the script when filming.

In their opinion. There are no women, no famous actors, and the plot is bland, a typical three-no TV series. If you don't add some appealing elements, the ratings are definitely bleak.

These people are people who have filmed a lot of TV dramas, and they think they have grasped the market. I couldn't help but add some elements that I thought were attractive when shooting.

At first, Chen Guoli still remembered Zhu Ziqing's warning and did not dare to change it at will. As time passed, the constraints of this warning on him became smaller and smaller. In the end, the script becomes an ornament.

It wasn't until a few days ago that I accidentally learned about the relationship between Zhu Ziqing and Tao Lin, and I remembered this warning. Suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Then he hurriedly called Zhu Ziqing to invite him to the crew, first, it was about to be completed, and Zhu Ziqing, the nominal first person in the crew, was not there. The second is to find a way to get this thing into the way.

It took me a long time to think about this solution. He thought that Zhu Ziqing was young and didn't know how to film, so he should be able to fool the past. Who knows that people are young, but it's not easy to deceive at all. You can see the strangeness at a glance.

I knew that I told him directly, and with their good relationship in the past, Zhu Ziqing wouldn't say anything even if he was unhappy. Chen Guoli's intestines were all repentant.

sighed and came to Zhu Ziqing's door, hesitated for a while, and finally rang the doorbell. (To be continued.) )
