vs 17 When dreams are near

Time flies, and when March comes, when the freshly baked script is placed on Levy's table, Clark and Michael, who are sitting next to him, both show quite satisfied smiles, and Bob, who has contributed the most to the script, looks at the script with a little reluctance and pride.

"Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, we really made the script." Bob's expression was somewhat unbelieving, "At this moment, we finally have an explanation on the ABC side, and this script will definitely satisfy them." ”

The script has been made. The skeleton, story, and style are completely made according to Levy's ideas, but the character relationships, dialogues, and character settings are all done by Bob. In terms of cases, the crew has information, professional technology, and they have professionals they have found, but the work set by these characters is all done by a few people themselves, and they have paid a lot for this job, and now they are also happy to see the finished product.

Levy looked at a few of his friends, he could see their joy, and he knew why they were happy: for himself, CSI was his own plagiarized idea, and the touch was not too big. Seeing that after putting in enough effort and creating a good enough script, how can you not make these friends happy?

Bob, in particular, was the one who raised the most doubts when writing the script. He also contributed the most to the script he created. This script is the product of his careful creation, and how can he not be ecstatic to see his work come to fruition?

"yes, I didn't expect us to get the script done so quickly. A few days ago, when you said you wanted to work hard, I thought you were drinking too much, or you were a**. Bob spoke to Levy, his expression was a little embarrassed, he himself knew that it was not right, "Don't blame me, you know, you have said many times before that you have to work hard, but the results all prove that you only drank too much when you spoke, and I suspect you, and it is not without reason......"

"I understand your thoughts, just please remember that I am not the same person I used to be, and I have fundamentally changed."

Levy just smiled at this: of course he was not the same as before.

"I'm sure you've been drinking, you've been on drugs, you've been on drugs, you've been to any parties, you've been looking for women — it's definitely not what you used to be." Bob also smiled slightly, "To know that failing to make a movie can make such a big difference to you, we should have failed a long time ago." ”

It's strange not to drink for a month, not to **, not to find a woman? This made Levy laugh dumbly, and it also made him understand why little Levy has never made any achievements - whether it is a movie or a TV series, it is a career in any way, and there are always very few geniuses who can do a good job while eating, drinking and having fun. It is not easy to learn the nonsense of geniuses, it is not easy to learn the key points of those ideas, and it is not so easy to create a little achievement.

"Nick, I'm glad you were able to make such a change." Bob flipped through the script in his hand again, and he already had some love for this new script, "I always knew that you were a genius, you were different, your pursuit of art was the most rare, and I was very happy that you were finally able to bring out your talent." Our work will be very popular, and your name will definitely attract attention. ”

"It's just a TV drama script, don't be so proud." Having said that, Levy also showed a hint of a smile: he is not the little Levy who pursues art to the point of not succeeding, but he is no less than anyone else in his desire for success.

"Why not be proud? I don't see a reason why this TV series should not be successful: if this TV series is really successful, it will make a big difference to our future. Nick, you don't know how strong my desire to change my life is. ”

Bob looked up. He was slightly dissatisfied with Levy's contemptuous attitude. In Levy's opinion, this script may not be particularly noteworthy: it is just a TV script, and compared to a movie script, it is a difference in rank. However, in Bob's opinion, this script is the embodiment of all his hard work, and he does not allow others to comment on it.

"Maybe you think that this is just a TV series, and it doesn't require much effort, just write about it. But do you know how much this TV series is for me? ”

Levy didn't say anything, he knew how much pressure Bob was on, and he knew what it would mean for Bob if the show could actually be filmed.

In Hollywood, as a small screenwriter, he can basically get a salary of $2,000-3,000 for an episode if he participates in the creation of TV scripts. If you want to make more money, then you have to write better things and improve your status in the screenwriting team. For a TV series, the screenwriter who writes the main writer can probably get a salary of about 30,000 yuan per episode, which is about ten times that of the small screenwriters.

Bob is not the worst level of screenwriter, but he earns about 5,000 per episode of the TV series. This income seems to be not low, but young screenwriters don't have jobs to do all the time. A TV series is 24 episodes a year, even if it is a year, it has been produced, that is, there is an annual salary of 120,000 yuan - in Hollywood, such an annual salary is nothing.

For Bob, when he has a job, the salary is not high, there is no job, and it is common to wait for opportunities at home, and now, if the creation of this show is successful, then Bob must be the main screenwriter of this show, with a greatly increased salary, greatly improved status, and a stable income, which is very important to Bob. The TV series is successful, and his income is 700,000 a year, not to mention the sales of TV series DVDs, videotapes, etc., according to the contract, the screenwriters have at least 3% of the share, and if he gets a sum of money, his income may be millions. This is not counted, the main screenwriter generally has to be a producer. For a 24-episode TV series, the producer's income can be tens of millions, even if a TV series often has five or six producers to share the money, this income will not be lower than that of the screenwriter.

For a person with an annual salary of 100,000 yuan, now in front of him is an opportunity with an annual salary of maybe millions or tens of millions, what reason does he have not to do it well? How could he allow others to ignore such an opportunity?

"Until I finished writing this script and saw it, I wasn't sure what my future would look like. It's different now, with such a good script, this drama will definitely be filmed, as long as the TV series is filmed, the income, the future, everything, everything will be fine. ”

Bob flipped through the script, his tone quite emotional. In Hollywood, a golden age of screenwriters, that is, the age of 20-40 years old. No matter how old the screenwriter is, if he can't keep up with the times and doesn't understand what people want to see, he is very likely to be eliminated. Bob is young, but he has to think about the future, and for him, success means not only life, but also hope.

Everyone who comes to Hollywood has their own dreams. They struggle to survive in Hollywood, fighting for every opportunity, just so that their dreams can one day come true. Bob has put in enough effort and his dream is just around the corner, so why shouldn't he be excited?

"This is just the beginning, Bob." Levy patted his partner, he could see the happiness of Bob's dream about to come true, and in his heart, he could also feel happy for his friend, "It's just the beginning." We now have a good script, and if this script is filmed, we can have an income, and after the income, we can shoot the movies we want. Bob, believe me, in three or five years, we can take our company, from a small company like it is now, to one of Hollywood's top production companies, just like Legends, Dune, these companies. And in the future, if our company grows well, we can become a really top big company in Hollywood, and then ......"

"You're dreaming again." Clark stepped aside, interrupting Levy. I just made a script and started thinking so much about what to do?

Levy didn't refute, but laughed: Perhaps, in the eyes of many people, this is indeed a dream, but it is not impossible for a dream to come true.

"Alright, you two don't have to worry about the change of life here. The manuscript is finished, our manuscript is very well written, and ABC will definitely be able to pass the review of the film. What we should be thinking about now doesn't seem to be a life principle, right? I said, we're about to make money, shouldn't we celebrate? How about a party? There are plenty of reasons to party this time. ”

Michael's words brought several people back to reality, Levy and Bob glanced at each other, but shook their heads, "Forget it, Michael, aren't you tired of working continuously these days?" I don't have the strength to party again. ”

"Take a few sips and you'll recover in no time...... Hey, I said, it's good that you're motivated, but don't be as boring as Bob. Behind him, Clark also pushed him, "How about going out and having fun?" ”

"I don't think it'...... likely" At this time, the door was pushed open, and Alexander walked in, spreading his hands at a few people, "Guys, there's a piece of news, you have to hear it: Jack is back, Nick, you go and explain to him why you didn't give him a horn." ”
