"What is this?" Li Duohai's little face leaned over and looked at it, and he felt confused, was it a brain teaser?
"Character motivation question." Li Xiaole said, this is the editor's favorite little game, Hong Kong's TVB used to like this kind of test, I didn't expect it to be taken out as a test, although these questions are very fresh in this era, but he looks old-fashioned, took out a water-based pen from his jacket pocket, wrote the answers one by one, and handed them to Xu Zhen.
"You...... Are you done answering? See if the question is clear. Xu Zhen frowned and took the paper, and Cui Dongxun was stunned at a glance, so many questions were all right from beginning to end? This question was collected from all kinds of strange places, such as the FBI test for perverted pamphlets, how could anyone get it all right?
"Xu stammered, I met a master this time~" Cui Dongxun said with a smile, thinking in his heart, what kind of character is he fooling.
"Yes, there is ...... A little talented, then I'll be ugly ahead, you...... Don't put on your director's stinky shelf, our side is not a film club, everyone...... Everyone is just friends who drink together. Xu Zhen had nothing to say, so he expressed his welcome in his own way.
Li Xiaole shook hands with him with a smile, he finally didn't come in vain this time, judging from the many similar alien technology models in Xu Zhen's props book, this unattractive artist is definitely good at more than just the layout of Korean dramas, he is definitely a character with the potential to become an ace art designer, and he has begun to plan how to frame this Xu Zhen into his own small gang.

After a busy day in the broadcasting bureau, after letting Li Duohai return to Zhang's brokerage company in the evening, Li Xiaole went home alone, because he wanted to be lazy, he bought some dumplings in the Chinese restaurant, went home and got a plate of vinegar and enjoyed it, although the master of the Chinese restaurant downstairs said that the craftsmanship was really not good, but Li Xiaole was tired of what Korean things he ate during this time, such as ramen, barbecue, and kimchi, and when he tasted something from his hometown, his saliva came down.
However, this dumpling is not cheaper than barbecue, and a large plate of meat filling costs nearly 200 yuan, which makes Li Xiaole feel that he is wrapped in a well-off living standard that is economically rich...... It's a fucking extravagance.
Turn on the computer while eating, and after starting, I saw the icon of the oicq that automatically logged in flashing, it was sent by Ha Ji Yuan, and I clicked on it to see that it was the information at noon today.
"Li Xiaole, help me take a look at these scripts, President Zhang gave it to me, let me choose a suitable one, I don't know which one is good, I will invite you to dinner next time~"
Is this Zhang Damin not good at selecting works, so he has to check it himself? Li Xiaole felt a little funny in his heart, it seems that from the face comparison incident to the success of "Color is Empty", even a person as strong as Zhang Damin has begun to rely on himself a little.
Li Xiaole downloaded the 4 163k word documents while eating, clicked on them and looked at the contents, the names are "Life Pictorial", "Crisis Man", "Bad Girl", "Love", he has no impression of the names of these TV series, which means that they are not successful, Li Xiaole dragged the mouse through the plot, each TV series only has an outline and 2 episodes of scripts, but the content can be roughly seen, and it feels very general.
These are really not suitable for Ha Ji Won, Li Xiaole feels that recommending any of them to Ha Ji Won will not help her acting career.
Li Xiaole searched in his mind for the TV series that Ha Ji Won will appear in the future, and the most suitable and successful one at present is "The Story of Bali", but this TV series is mainly successful by the personal charm of the leading actor, so he searched the Internet for the news about the two leading actors of this TV series, Zhao Yincheng has already taken SBS TV's "Shooting Star", and Su Ji-sub has also taken "Glass Slipper".
can only find other targets, it seems that there is a "Tea Mother" in which Ha Ji Won acted very well, and her acting skills improved quickly, so that she won the TV station's Best Actress Award, the Highest Popularity Award, and the Best Screen Couple Award for the first time, which is a work that Ha Ji Won's acting career has been sublimated.
checked the actor Li Ruizhen of "Tea Mother", and only received the news of filming a short drama, and the schedule should be able to keep up, Li Xiaole was sure that he had found a suitable target.
However, "Tea Mother" was broadcast in 2003, so the script has not been purchased by the TV station yet, and even the planning stage has not begun.
Now the first step is to find the script of "Tea Mother", Li Xiaole thought so and opened the sub-forum of the Broadcasting Writers Association on the website of the Broadcasting Bureau, and quickly found the script exchange area in it, and after logging in to his registered member name and password, he clicked on the search option and entered the tea mother, but unexpectedly found nothing.
Strange, the script of a general Korean drama has to go through at least a year or so of preparation and revision, and "Tea Mother" must have a first draft when the time is counted, Li Xiaole held his chin and thought for a while, guessing that the name of the script may not be this, so he pressed the search button with Zhang Caiyu, the protagonist in "Tea Mother", as the keyword.
Sure enough, the only result that appeared on the screen was a script called "Robbery Hall", the classification of the script was in the "revision" stage, the screenwriter was a person named Huang Wei, not the famous screenwriter Zheng Jiungzhu who had been to Sohu for an exclusive interview, and the forum of the Broadcasting Bureau was logged in by members with their real names, and it could not be a vest number.
Li Xiaole entered the post, and then chose "people who follow this post", Zheng Hyung-su's name jumped out, and slowly speculated the details of the whole thing in his heart, it seems that although the script written by Huang Wei is creative but lacks skill, it has never been bought by the TV station, probably Zheng Jiung-so acquired the script, and then sold it to the TV station under the name of "Tea Mother" after adaptation.
Li Xiaole thought about the possibility of buying this script in his heart, and immediately gave up this idea, if he bought it and sold it to the TV station as a screenwriter, it would add more trouble to himself, and the screenwriter also had to follow the director when filming Korean dramas, and he had to change the script later according to the audience's requirements, this project was too big, which he couldn't bear.
How can I get this script to be bought by TV stations now? Li Xiaole was struggling, and suddenly saw that there was an option "redacting" under this post, and his eyes suddenly lit up, the broadcasting association of the broadcasting bureau actually had a revision task? That's not bad.
Due to the relatively sound laws and regulations in Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States film and television industry, there is a strict regulation on the right of screenwriters, no matter how many assistant screenwriters participate in a script, but to really be able to be on TV stations or movie subtitle screenwriters, it must be more than 30% of the content of the script before it can be subtitled, which is also due to the large number of people involved in the screenwriting, there will be a lot of interest disputes.
In these countries, the production of film and television is relatively rigorous, whether it is a TV series or a movie, the number of people involved in the screenwriting of a work will not be less than 5, which is also to avoid personal subjectivity to misleading works.
Most of the promotion teams or individual screenwriters, after completing the script alone, will have this or that unreasonable or not exciting plot in the script because of the imperfection of the group's thinking.
In this case, he either sells the copyright of the work to those famous screenwriters cheaply and becomes someone else's work, or invites his peers to "edit".
The so-called revision, is to make no more than 30% of the plot changes on the basis of this script, and change a new version, but there is no right of authorship, which is actually much easier for mature screenwriters than to rewrite the script, because the most important thing in the screenwriting industry is creativity, and the details and character plots are not the core links, and many routines can be applied.
As long as the new version of the script is acquired by the TV station or film company, then the person who revises the script can get 1% to 5% of the acquisition fee according to the proportion of the revised content, which is actually not much (daomengren sees the fastest update) money, which is also because the main intention of the script is far more important than the perfection.
There are many senior screenwriters in the United States who have exhausted their creativity, and in the later stages of their careers, Jiang Lang couldn't write a good script, so he made a living by revising scripts.
Of course, it sounds easy, and you can make money by making a slight change on the basis of a script and putting the finishing touches, but in fact, this is indeed a very risky job.
If you are unlucky and you spend half a month editing this script, but there is still no company willing to buy it, then it means that your hard work in half a month will be in vain.
On the other hand, what is more troublesome is the copyright issue, in the process of implementing the revision, it is easy to have the same selling point as the original plot, the dialogue mode is repeated, according to the law, as long as the content of the revision appears in the original script, any small line and story selling point, then the original author can refuse to pay for the revised draft in the name of plagiarism, and the revision is just a job that is difficult to judge how many selling points of the script you have adapted.
In cases where it is difficult to judge, the law usually protects the intellectual property of the original author.
As a result, only qualified and well-known screenwriters who have worked in large institutions will dare to take over this kind of work, because only those authoritative institutions have enough resources to have no scruples about legal issues.
In the United States, the most authoritative editing is in the Playwrights Guild under the West Bank Screenwriters Guild, which is also the Weishenme West Coast Screenwriters Guild has a greater influence than the Screenwriters Guild.
On the one hand, there are several senior editors affiliated to the Broadcasting Bureau in these promotion groups, who will help the group members revise the script, which is far better for those inexperienced newcomer screenwriters than pondering at home.
Li Xiaole clicked on the editing option, and after the system recorded, he downloaded the script of "Capture Hall" 237k to his computer, and carefully watched the plot of the first two episodes, and the outline is no different from the impression, and the historical details are very particular, and it can be seen that this buried newcomer screenwriter has worked hard, but there is a huge problem with the character setting...
