After a long time, Chen Dong put down the script and said to Hu Yibo, "The script is okay, there are many elements that attract the audience, funny, bizarre, romantic, love, and popular funny lines on the Internet, I think, it must be very popular to make it into a TV series, however, the script still has many deficiencies, for example, the character characteristics are not prominent, and the sense of existence is weak!"

For example, Guo Lin, one of the male protagonists, in the script, you set the character of sensitive, single-minded, nosy, afraid to face your feelings, I feel that the personality is very ordinary, and the lack of presence in the play, but if you add some irrelevant shortcomings to Guo Lin, play handsome, play cool, and then, magnify and highlight the handsome and cool, and add some weird and exaggerated facial expressions, gestures, and repeated lines, so that the role of Guo Lin is easy to be remembered by the audience in the play, and has a sense of existence. The role of Guo Lin was also brought to life. ”

After reading this script, Chen Dong thought of "Love Apartment" in the original time and space, which was a mess in the mainland.

Since Love 1 landed on Xijiang Satellite TV, its funny and humorous style is quite popular, and its popularity in China is no less than that of the hit American drama "Friends".

After love 3, love 4, known as 'the world's first anti-heaven drama', this series has more than 1 billion hits on the Internet in 3 years, and since the start of the third season, it has not only occupied the top spot in the ratings of each David TV, but also ranked first in the TV drama list in iQi/Yi, which was broadcast simultaneously.

The content of this script in my hand is somewhat similar to "Love Apartment", which is also a comedy sitcom. It is also a few urban fashionable men and women living in an apartment, and the selling point is all kinds of funny, bizarre, romantic, and love.

After listening to Chen Dong's wonderful comments on the script. Then, pointing out the shortcomings of the script to the point, Hu Yibo admired Chen Dong from the bottom of his heart.

"However, this script has a lot of shortcomings, if I buy it, I need to make a major revision, the main change is the character characteristics of the characters in the play, highlighting the existence of the characters. Make the characters in the play easier to be remembered by the audience, as well as more easily accepted and loved by the audience. There are also some new jokes on the Internet, popular topics, hot words, etc., that is, 'secondary creation'. No problem. Chen Dong said to Hu Yibo.

'Secondary creation' is normal in the film and television industry. Usually after the producer buys the script, some plot and lines are added to the script.

However, for screenwriters, it is difficult to accept the producer's 'secondary creation', first, the director and actors change the scene indiscriminately, which is disrespectful to the screenwriter's hard work.

Second, the 'secondary creation' has failed. was 'complained' by the audience, the producer. The director often attributes the hard injuries in the play to the screenwriter, and makes the screenwriter carry the 'black cauldron'.

"No problem." Hu Yibo said.

Chen Dong himself is recognized as a top screenwriter in the screenwriting circle, and his screenwriting ability goes without saying.

Second, Chen Dong clearly pointed out the places that need to be revised in the script, and he agrees with it.

"How are you going to cooperate?" Chen Dong said to Hu Yibo.

The value of a script written by a screenwriter can only be reflected when it is put on the stage or screen/screen!

As a screenwriter, there are two ways to realize the value of the script, first, to shoot it yourself, and second, to sell it to those people or companies who have the ability to shoot.

And sell to those who have the ability to film, screenwriters can get a fixed salary, how much is an episode, generally first-line screenwriters 10W yuan per episode, and top screenwriters can get 25W per episode.

You can also choose to get a commission, the first salary accounts for about 1% of the total investment in the film and TV series, and the other part is the profit sharing, and the screenwriter can get a commission from the total income from the sale of cinema screenings, TV broadcasts and audio-visual products, and peripheral industries.

Chen Dong flipped through the script, a total of 22 episodes, if Hu Yibo chooses to get a fixed salary, one episode is about 4W, and 22 episodes can probably get about 80W~100W.

If Hu Yibo chooses to get a commission, according to the production fee of 800W in the first season of "Love is Coming", Hu Yibo can get 8W for the first salary,

If "Love is Coming" flutters, it will add up to 10 tens of thousands at most, which is far from directly getting 100W of fixed salary.

If "Love is Coming" becomes popular, the total revenue commission of TV broadcasting, + commission of peripheral products, adds up to several times that of 100W.

How to choose, it depends on whether Hu Yibo is optimistic that "Love is Coming" will be popular.

"I choose to get a commission." Hu Yibo said without hesitation.

He is very confident that the broadcast of "Love is Coming" can be popular, and he is even more confident in Chen Dong.

Chen Dong is optimistic about it, and how can the TV series he plans to shoot pounce on, so he chooses to get a fixed salary directly when his head is rusty.

Chen Dong nodded, and immediately called the staff of the company's legal department to draw up a contract.

The contract stipulates that the copyright of the TV series "Love is Coming" and the copyright of subsequent production belong to the producer.

"You take a look at this contract first, if there is no problem, you can sign it." Chen Dong said to Hu Yibo.

Hu Yibo took the contract and looked at it, and when he saw that there was no problem, he picked up the pen and signed his name.

"Happy working together!" Chen Dong stretched out his left hand.

"Happy working together!" Hu Yibo stretched out his right hand and shook it.

Waiting for Hu Yibo, after leaving with excitement.

Chen Dong sat in his office and began to work on the 'second creation' of "Love is Coming".

Modify the personality traits of the character.

Guo Lin: A bit cheap, nosy old man, sensitive, Virgo, clean, afraid to face his feelings, mantra: ......, the most common movements, eyebrow dance, cool, handsome.

After Chen Dong's modification, Guo Lin's role has become 'perfect', close to the audience, with more shortcomings that are not just important, mantras that have been said N times, and funny eyebrow dances, which are easy for the audience to remember, and full of laughter, this character creation is very successful.

Zhao Fangfang: Merry yuppie, playboy, unreliable, detrimental to others, mantra: Hi, beauty, galloping horses,......, the most common action,......。

……

Then, a lot of jokes from the original time and space were added to the play, funny online lines, which are not available in this time and space, and when the TV series is broadcast, it will make the audience's eyes light up.

Finally, some topics that are close to the current hot topics were added and implanted into the script after some modifications.

……

After a major revision, the plot has become more 'plump', the characters have become more distinctive, easy to be remembered by the audience, accepted by the audience, and liked more, and there are many laughs, a lot of romance, and the love in the play is more expected. (To be continued......)
