Chapter 648: Script

After taking the makeup photos, Huang Bo and Gao Yuanyuan came to the company's creative department. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is one of the company's core departments, with dozens of screenwriters responsible for the creativity and writing of film and television dramas, and Lin Zixuan is the direct leader of this department.

The script is the foundation of the success of film and television dramas, and it is extremely important.

However, the domestic film and television industry does not pay much attention to screenwriters, and screenwriters have low status, low salary, and poor treatment.

Well-known screenwriters are better, and screenwriters who have just entered the industry often start from being gunmen and have no right of authorship.

Good Dream Company provides generous treatment for screenwriters, provided that they can produce results.

There are two modes in the creation of scripts, one is to write the script first and find the right actors according to the script.

The other is to select the actors first, and then write the script according to the image and personality of the actors.

For example, Feng Xiaogang's Chinese New Year film is written according to Ge You's image, and the lines are in line with Ge You's speaking habits.

Let's talk about this "My Sassy Girlfriend", since Huang Bo and Gao Yuanyuan have been selected as the starring actors, the plot and lines should best conform to their daily habits.

In this way, the performance can be smooth and natural, and the audience thinks that this should be the case.

This requires the actor and the screenwriter to work together, and the actor is involved in the creation of the script.

For example, what kind of expression does Gao Yuanyuan have when he is angry, what words do he say, and what special actions he has.

There is also Huang Bo's identity as a resident singer, a habit he has developed in life as a resident singer.

For example, I like to collect the tapes and CDs of singers, and when I chat, I mention the lyrics of a certain song from time to time, and I don't want to put down the microphone when I see it.

These can be laughing points in the film.

Lin Zixuan provided Huang Bo with the opportunity to show his singing voice in the movie and sang the theme song to Gao Yuanyuan.

Filling in the details of life can bring the audience a sense of reality.

The book "My Sassy Girlfriend" is run by five screenwriters, mainly young screenwriters, and young people can better understand this comedy mode and come up with jokes that are accepted by young audiences.

Lin Zixuan gave an outline of the story, and they needed to complete the rest of the content.

Being able to get the script provided by the boss made these people a little excited.

They have heard that the script that Lin Zixuan took out will basically be successful after it is filmed.

Huang Bo and Gao Yuanyuan held a discussion with the screenwriters in the conference room of the creative department and listened to the screenwriters introduce the plot.

"Fashion designers are freelancers, so you have more free time, Huang Bo is an office worker, and the time conflict between the two of you is also a joke. One screenwriter explained, "For example, in order to keep Huang Bo from going to work, you pretended to be pregnant and asked Huang Bo's leader for leave. ”

"Moreover, the fashion designer is more trendy in dressing, which is attractive to young audiences, and in order to trick Huang Bo, you also deliberately design strange clothes for Huang Bo to try on, and it will be interesting to go to the street to see everyone's reaction. Another screenwriter added.

The fashion element is one of the highlights of this film, since it is a costume designer, there will be models on the catwalk.

Huang Bo will wear a bizarre costume and show himself with a female model.

"I understand, I'm the one who is unlucky in this play. Huang Bo said suddenly.

"You summed it up perfectly. A screenwriter joked.

Most of the screenwriters are jokers, and they make jokes one by one, especially screenwriters who write comedy themes.

"You have a general understanding of the content of this play, and now we have to understand your usual living habits, and match your personality and role, as well as the plot. One screenwriter continued, "What Mr. Lin means is that you don't have a lot of acting experience, and in this way, you and the characters are unified. ”

Huang Bo and Gao Yuanyuan are not from professional backgrounds and have never studied acting.

One of them is a resident singer, and the other is a secretarial graduate and doesn't have much acting experience.

However, it is not a big problem, this kind of comedy does not require high acting skills, and with the roles tailored for them, it should be possible to complete the filming smoothly.

Gao Yuanyuan is a native of Beijing, and Huang Bo is a native of Lu Province, and he speaks with a little hometown accent.

According to the character settings in the sequel to "Desire", Gao Yuanyuan was originally an obedient and well-behaved girl, but after falling out of love, she began to let go of herself and became savage and rebellious.

Huang Bo was originally a resident singer and could mix in dance halls and bars in the capital, but later he didn't want to be so messy anymore, so he honestly went to a company as a small clerk.

This contrasting character setting can have an unexpected comedic effect.

The discussion of the characters is not something that can be completed in a day, and it will take at least a month to polish the script, which is still under the premise that Lin Zixuan provides an outline.

Otherwise a movie script would take months.

Gao Yuanyuan and Huang Bo left the creative department, Huang Bo had nothing to do here, and Gao Yuanyuan had to negotiate the acting contract for this drama with Haomeng Company.

She is not an actor of Good Dreams, she belongs to other agencies.

With the lowering of the threshold in the entertainment industry, the number of people who want to become actors is increasing year by year, and a number of brokerage companies have emerged to be responsible for the training and promotion of actors.

These brokerage companies have a certain channel in the circle, are familiar with investors or directors, and have film and television resources.

They take a fancy to those actors who have just debuted or are not well-known, sign them as training objects, and make money for the company after they become famous, and the brokerage company is more harsh in the contract.

Including actors' income commissions, contract years and liquidated damages, etc., they are all stricter than film and television companies.

Even so, there are still actors who are willing to join, and actors who have just debuted can't enter powerful film and television companies, so they have to sign contracts with brokerage companies.

Even if you don't become famous, after becoming famous, the actor would rather pay liquidated damages than leave the agency.

One is that the resources of the brokerage company are limited, and they can't support many first-line stars, and there are conflicts of interest.

Gao Yuanyuan is barely second-tier now, but he can't get good resources, unlike Liu Tao, who was able to star in a big production like "The Legend of the White Snake" soon after his debut.

In the final analysis, it is a good dream company with various resources to support, and it is not difficult to become a popular actor.

Although this "My Sassy Girlfriend" is not a big production, she is the number one female.

Gao Yuanyuan knew that if she hadn't starred in the sequel to "Desire" last year, it would not have been her turn to play this role, and there was no shortage of famous actresses in Good Dreams.

She didn't have bargaining chips, she just wanted to hear about the conditions of the company.

"Mr. Lin confessed, if you are willing to join our company, we will pay liquidated damages for you, and this liquidated damages will be deducted from your future income. The staff of Good Dream Company said, "If you don't want to join, you can also star in this film, but you can't get our resources to support it in publicity, you should consider it." ”

"My Sassy Girlfriend" is Lin Zixuan's attempt to localize Korean dramas, and it is uncertain whether it will succeed.

He gave Gao Yuanyuan a choice, and did not say that he must join the Good Dream Company, leaving room for improvement.
