As noon approaches, the sunlight outside the window becomes more and more dazzling, and the spills on the body through the window are not warm, but rather irritating.

Liu Meng sat in his study, his left hand supported his cheek, and he frowned at the computer screen in front of him, showing an open word document on the computer screen, and he could clearly see that most of the position was dense text, which was a novel he was writing.

Yes, novels, Liu Meng is a writer, a real writer, not an online writer who is gradually becoming popular on some literary websites on the Internet.

Before writing this novel, Liu Ran just wanted to change to a new theme because he had already written two novels about special forces, but he didn't expect this novel about national security agents to be so difficult to write.

This kind of feeling that you have an idea, but you don't know where to start, is really painful.

In his conception, an ordinary teenager who is a descendant of a national security martyr gradually grew into an excellent national security agent under the inspiration of a kind of faith and blood, but he never thought that Han Xiaolin, a girl who was his childhood sweetheart, was tragically attacked by the T army agent ** and was brainwashed into becoming an enemy agent during this period, and the relationship between the two suddenly changed dramatically, and a story of love and hate also began.

The idea is very clear, but what makes him headache is that since the novel is a story about the national security agent, how to truly show the original life of the national security agent is undoubtedly related to the success or failure of the novel.

It's just that the national security agent has always been mysterious, even if he himself is from the army, but he only hears some rumors in the army, and it is completely unclear whether these rumors are reliable.

Literary novels can't be written like that, and the very real problem in front of Liu Meng is to get some detailed information about national security agents, but how to get it makes Liu Meng at a loss.

After sitting in the study for a while, thinking about it and still not having any clue, Liu Meng smiled bitterly, ready to relax a little, he was not interested in the game, he simply opened the web page to browse the news, and soon saw a news in a conspicuous position in the website navigation: "Director Lin Yuquan intends to shoot a TV series with the theme of special forces, and the TV drama script is charged at a sky-high price." ”

The words Lin Yuquan and special forces seemed to have some kind of magical power to him, and the moment Liu Meng saw the news, he subconsciously double-clicked to enter the page and read it directly.

Only after watching this did I know that it was Lin Yuquan, a young director who has recently become famous, who was preparing to shoot a TV series with the theme of special forces, but because he was busy shooting a new movie, he didn't have time to write the script himself, so he directly solicited scripts from the outside world at sky-high prices.

The sky-high price is indeed a sky-high price.

In the screenwriting industry, there is a big difference in the income level between screenwriters, such as first-line screenwriters who get more than 50,000 per episode, second-tier screenwriters who have worked are generally 1-20,000 per episode, and newcomer screenwriters are generally 5000-8000 per episode.

Generally speaking, this is the standard used in the screenwriting industry, and film and television companies with tight shooting funds will not arbitrarily give screenwriters a higher price.

Shuguang Film Company's solicitation of scripts this time is regardless of fame and qualifications, only about strength, as long as the script is wonderful and approved by Lin Yuquan, once selected, the script remuneration is guaranteed to be 1 million, and once the length of the script exceeds 30 episodes, the extra episode will be paid according to the price of 50,000 per episode.

According to this algorithm, if the screenwriter writes a 20-episode script, the remuneration is 1 million, 50,000 per episode, and if it is a 40-episode script, the remuneration is 1.5 million, nearly 40,000 per episode, even if it is the least paid 30 episode script, the price of each episode is more than 30,000.

Such conditions are at least a price that can only be obtained by first-line screenwriters in China, and it is not a casual work of first-line screenwriters, even if it is a first-line screenwriter, it must be obtained only by its excellent works.

Of course, what Liu Ran cares about is not the so-called sky-high price, but that he urgently needs a chance to prove himself, speaking of which, outsiders may find it hard to believe that he can be admitted to the notoriously difficult Kyoto Theater Academy directing department, and what is even more bizarre is that after entering the directing department, he wrote a military novel in his senior year near graduation.

However, who doesn't want to become a real director after graduating from the director department, but there are very few students in the director department who can get the director position after graduation, and he himself has no choice but to embark on the road of writing novels, but he has always been obsessed with being a director and making movies and TV series.

And now the opportunity has finally come, the theme of special forces, isn't that what he is best at? If he can write a TV series that is recognized and filmed by Lin Yuquan, then he will immediately be able to gain a foothold in the screenwriting industry, and then rely on the influence of his screenwriter to get the favor of the army art troupe or film and television companies, and realize his dream of becoming a director.

As soon as he thought of this, Liu Ran only felt his blood boiling, and he couldn't wait to become a director and shoot his own works with his own hands.

What should I write about? Liu Meng touched his chin and thought, it seems that it is more difficult to completely conceive a new script, time is pressing, and it is very likely that it will be preempted by others, although the number of scripts to be collected is not stipulated in the collection of scripts, but since it is for Lin Yuquan, it is most likely that only one will be collected, even if two or three are collected, Lin Yuquan alone will not be able to shoot one of them, and the rest of the scripts will not know when to shoot.

Fortunately, he had already written two special forces novels before, and if it was relatively easy to adapt them from these two existing novels, it would save him time in the development of the story.

But which of the two works should be written? Is it "The Last Bullet Left for Me", or "Wolf's Teeth"?

Liu Meng naturally knows his works very well, from the perspective of the completion of special forces elements, "Wolf Teeth" is undoubtedly even better, but at the same time, how to show the demeanor of the real Chinese special forces has also become a major problem in the filming of TV dramas.

And "The Last Bullet Left for Me" Although it is his first novel, it is not as good as "Wolf Teeth" in terms of special forces elements, but it is better because of the emotional scenes, and it will be much easier to adapt it into a TV series and shoot.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages, and if you are an ordinary person, you may be very embarrassed and can't make up your mind.

But Liu Meng is not an ordinary person, he naturally knows how to choose, after a little consideration, he immediately created a new document without hesitation, and then solemnly typed "the last bullet for me" in the document, and then crackled his fingers on the keyboard.

Not only Liu Meng, but also many screenwriters and novel creators who are good at military themes were ecstatic when they saw the report.

In the case that almost no one in the outside world knows, silently, the personnel expansion of Shuguang Film Company is also proceeding rapidly.

Lin Yuquan was also busy, and after the meeting decided to shoot "Red Cliff", he immediately set up a film crew on the basis of the crew of "Huo Yuanjia", of course, he also made heavy changes, unlike "Huo Yuanjia", as an epic war masterpiece with an investment of 200 million, "Red Cliff" will be larger in terms of the scale of the crew, and at the same time, the requirements for photography, scenery, and dubbing will be higher.

For this reason, he made a special trip to invite Zhao Fei, maybe the public has almost never heard of his name, but he is definitely a famous name in the film industry, and Zhang Yimou, Ning Hao, he was born in the photography department of Kyoto Film Academy, and has worked with Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Jiang Wen and other famous directors, as the cinematographer and director of photography of "The Red Lantern Hangs High", "Jing Ke Assassinates King Qin", "The Sun Also Rises", "Mobile Phone", and is also the designated special photographer of the famous American director Woody Allen, His own photographic skills and cultivation are naturally impeccable.

The set he invited Ye Jintian, before 2001, few outsiders may have heard of this name, but with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" winning the Academy Award for Best Art Director, even ordinary people are gradually familiar with him, he is very good at costume film and television drama sets, Li Shaohong's masterpieces "Daming Palace Ci" and "Orange is Red" The sets are all from his subordinates, and Chen Kaige was looking for him when he filmed "Wuji", in Lin Yuquan's opinion, there is no one more suitable than him.

And the soundtrack This time Lin Yuquan did not look for Zhao Jiping again, it is not that Zhao Jiping's level is problematic, the cooperation of "Huo Yuanjia" last time has allowed him to fully see the strength of this domestic top scorer master, but Lin Yuquan hopes that his movies can present more antique charm and majestic majesty, Zhao Jiping does not seem to be very good at this.

Therefore, in the end, Lin Yuquan found Tan Dun to be the music producer, and his wonderful soundtrack in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" left a deep impression on him, and Tan Dun's attainments in symphonic music are really amazing, which well meets his needs for the momentum of the scene.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yuquan and the film crew immersed themselves in studying the script, writing the director's elaboration and creating the storyboard script, and compared with the last "Huo Yuanjia", this time he put more energy into the costumes, props, art and use of special effects.
