Du Sitong said to Fan Caiqing: "I don't know a lot, but I did mix a little in this industry a few years ago and understand some of the situation." But compared to me, Wang Rou knows a little more about this aspect. There are many people in our screenwriting department who have transferred from online literature full-time or part-time, and some people are still working part-time, and their grades are quite good. Mr. Fan is interested, and I will let them tell you about it. ”

Fan Caiqing wanted to see what she could say, so the corners of her mouth hooked, and she said with some meaning: "Okay." Go ahead! ”

She clasped her hands on her chest, leaned back on the sofa chair, and waited for Wang Rou to speak.

Wang Rou smiled a little shyly and said: "My online pen name is called Bo Xinyu, and I have been writing online articles for seven years, and I am a little famous, but I am not very famous. There was a TV series "My Guardian Knight" before, which was adapted from my work "He Knows", I don't know if Mr. Fan has heard of it? ”

Fan Caiqing didn't care about it, but when she heard Wang Rou say this, the whole person immediately cheered up.

Wang Rou asked Fan Caiqing if she knew her, which was a kind word. Bo Xinyu and "My Guardian Knight" are not particularly popular works, but they are also rare masterpieces. According to Fan Caiqing's opinion, it is the kind of story that is so cool and has a little connotation, which fully meets the requirements of Du Sitong and Fan Caiqing for the script.

According to Fan Caiqing's character of liking to pick up ready-made, after "My Guardian Knight" became popular, she naturally inquired about the copyright of other works with thin compensation, but unfortunately due to various reasons, none of them were discussed.

Fan Caiqing didn't expect that Wang Rou would be a person of star shadow.

She opened her mouth and asked, "Has your "Xiaoxiao Moonlight Old in the World" been sold?" I'm very interested in the film and television rights of that film. ”

Wang Rou peeked at Du Sitong, Du Sitong smiled and looked at her but did not speak, Wang Rou said: "The copyrights of several novels that I am suitable for changing TV series are in the company, and they are not yet included in the shooting plan, but it may be in the future." If Mr. Fan is interested, he can talk to Mr. Du about cooperation. ”

Fan Caiqing suddenly hesitated.

Then Wang Rou turned the topic back to the online article and said, "I'll talk about the online article first." Mr. Fan probably hasn't had an in-depth understanding of the online text, so he is not very familiar with the situation here. Mr. Fan, you said that the works that are popular on the Internet have been tested by the market...... Not necessarily. Online originality is a very special environment, and its popularity has two characteristics, namely high timeliness and high coincidence...... Well, it may also count the dependence on the subject matter, the topic, and the exposure. ”

Fan Caiqing nodded and said, "I basically agree with what you said. But these are just external factors, and really good works, I believe, can stand the test of time. ”

"A really good book will certainly not go unnoticed all the time, but it may not be popular. And the red ones aren't necessarily good books. Wang Rou continued, "For example, I think it is already a website with a better atmosphere among all original websites, but there is no such law that as long as it is a good book, it will be popular." Because when we produce stories, we actually have a very sophisticated 'operation process' - apply for the list every Thursday, and when we control 30,000 words, we can be on the list for the first time, 80,000 words meet the fee standard, and strive for a monthly ranking within 40 days, and a quarterly ranking within 130 days...... There are also favorites, gold lists, and overlord ticket lists. People who do well and those who don't do well can be said to have a world of difference in exposure. And the number of words will also affect the income, to tell you the truth, I can only write a plot of a few thousand words a day, but some people can change more than 20,000 a day. I don't think I'm worse than hers, but she's always on the list. ”

"This kind of work is very popular, but it is not suitable for film and television. I also want to know that the update volume of 20,000 words a day, the whole process is no longer there, but purely just in. With this kind of writing speed, it is actually difficult to find time to check the information, ponder whether the lines are in line with the character of a certain character, and whether the actions of the characters and their own settings are unified...... Such details. ”

Fan Caiqing said: "It can't be generalized. ”

Wang Rou pursed her lips and said, "This is just according to the usual situation. In fact, some full-time authors are in a state of flux, and it is not very difficult to achieve such a number of updates. But having a high number of words has a great advantage over a well-written story, I'm pretty sure of that. In addition, I said that popularity does not prove the preferences of readers, but also because of the difference in the mentality of readers. Many readers don't have a lot of expectations for the story when they read the online article - there is something I believe you must not know......"

She paused before continuing, "...... There is a famous saying in our author forum that a reader's memory is only two chapters. ”

Fan Caiqing didn't understand for a while: "Two? ”

Wang Rou explained with a smile: "It's the amount of content in two chapters. This is a bit exaggerated, but it is actually true. I think you must have understood that online articles are mainly serialized articles, and the time span of serialized articles is very long, so many times, when you chase it to the later stage, readers will not even remember what was written in the previous article. But that doesn't stop them from continuing to read, as long as they know what the previous chapter and this one are about. This also leads to the fact that in terms of content, general novels are more restrictive, faster-paced, and less foreshadowing. ”

For example, if something happens, it has antecedents and consequences, but if this antecedent and consequence is not what the reader cares about, then in order to better maintain the attractiveness of the article, the author will omit it and forcibly simplify it. For example, the supporting role has to hinder the protagonist because of jealousy...... But the reason for the formation of this jealousy, and why it is not someone else who is jealous, but the protagonist, will not be said. Anyway, the plot needs it, and he is jealous. ”

"But at the same time, there are also some contents, which are obviously meaningless, but are deliberately stretched because they are cool. For example, some bystanders' praise of the protagonist. If one or two sentences can achieve the effect, we should describe it in large paragraphs......"

Fan Caiqing said: "These are all side stories. As long as there is something in the core of it that readers like, we can buy the copyright and modify it. ”

Wang Rou said: "The difficulty of revising some works is almost as close to writing a new book by yourself. And cool this kind of thing, it's all the same. I think for TV dramas, the specific content and character shaping are the key to whether it can attract people. ”

"Oh? So, you know very well how to capture the cool point of the audience? Fan Caiqing's tone became a little intense.

Wang Rou suddenly stopped talking.

Du Sitong opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Fan, if you don't agree, you can say it directly." If you make your own TV series, you must have a certain understanding of the audience's preferences, otherwise how can you run such a large company? ”

Fan Caiqing said: "I don't worry about the script that is not adapted from a popular work! ”

Du Sitong: "But the popular works of online articles are not necessarily suitable for TV dramas. ”

Fan Caiqing said: "But it at least has a popularity base. ”

Du Sitong sighed and said, "Mr. Fan, we are not talking about TV series, but three-dimensional dramas. Our stereoscopic projection crystals are very popular, and there aren't many other options at the moment, so as soon as the episode comes out, someone is sure to buy it. Your focus should not be on how much buzz it can cause before it starts, but what most people will say about it after watching it. This is the key to its subsequent competitiveness. ”

This reason is more useful than all the previous ones. Fan Caiqing realized that he had fallen into habitual thinking. She was silent for a long time and said, "Maybe so, but a good original work can definitely attract more people's attention." ”

Du Sitong did not deny it this time, but said: "Yes, the premise is that it is really a 'good' original work." I don't object to the crew pursuing fashionable settings, but that can't come at the expense of the logic and richness of the plot itself. ”

After another day, Fan Caiqing agreed with Du Sitong's opinion and began to read the original script provided by Xingze.

In all fairness, the quality of the scripts provided by Xingze is indeed good. And unlike those online novels on the Internet that only have love themes of the same length, Xingze took out a Xianxia script with a length of about 20 episodes.

In recent years, Xianxia is generally long, and the plot routine is relatively strict, but the batch that Du Sitong took out is short and exciting. Fan Caiqing originally wanted to shoot love scenes, but Du Sitong prefers to have a bit of fantasy color, because action scenes and special effects can better show the advantages of stereoscopic projection.

And the book Fan Caiqing is holding is called "Immortal Guest", which is about a golden immortal chasing and killing a witch who stole his magic weapon, and as a result, he accidentally injured the soul of a mortal who went up the mountain to collect medicine. As the male protagonist of the Golden Immortal, in order not to owe cause and effect, he included the soul of mortals into the cultivation of magic weapons, but unexpectedly, there was a baby who lost his mother and was less than a year old in the mortal family. So Jin Xian had to live in a mortal's house and live a life of raising buns with mortal souls.

In the story, the golden fairy and the witch fall in love and kill each other from time to time, the chickens and dogs jump with the children, and the daily comic with the mortal souls are all very interesting. Cute, handsome, romantic, and affectionate...... Not a lot of one.

Fan Caiqing became serious when she looked at it, and in the end, she had to admit that this level was a little stronger than the few online articles she fancied. In addition to being not famous, there are no other flaws.

Each of the several scripts is brilliant and has its own characteristics. Fan Caiqing couldn't help but secretly feel jealous of Xingying - as a newly established film and television company, it is backed by the big tree of Star Track and has rich resources. Just by looking at Wang Rouhe's scripts, you know how many screenwriter talents have been raised, which makes people can't help but be jealous and vigilant.
