Lin Xingchen, who was reborn and embarked on a dream journey again, has too many expectations for the future. In his previous life, in order to achieve his dream of stardom, he gave up too many things that should have been cherished around him, and finally left with endless regrets.
If it weren't for the unexpected appearance of his sister-in-law and his wife in this life, he was afraid that he would choose a peaceful but rich life. With more than ten years of life experience beyond today, Lin Xingchen will not miss some opportunities to make a fortune.
This means that if he wants to be a rich man and a filial son, there may be no problem at all. But the regret of his previous life to death will also follow him for the rest of his life. In the dead of night, he will never get the true relief and happiness of his heart.
But Lin Xingchen also knows that although he had an unbearable dream-seeking past in his previous life. In this life, even if he walks into the opera, in the eyes of many people, he needs to start from scratch in an art academy that has cultivated countless stars.
The experience of his previous life told him that it was quite difficult for a person with no family, no connections, and no background to blend into this kind of circle of fame and fortune. It's not so easy to be a star, and he has long understood this truth in his previous life.
Even if he has countless classic film and television dramas in his mind that can be used as creative inspiration, it does not mean that he will definitely be able to blend into the circle and become a star in the limelight. Opportunity is also very important to Lin Xingchen!
In the days when he was wandering in Hengdian before, Lin Xingchen had seen too many people who had never met him. Countless screenwriters from professional classes have created many scripts that are brilliant on the screen. But the name of the screenwriter is never them.
Gunners are the kind of people who describe this. Say they can't write a good script? It's not that they lack a chance to be famous. And this opportunity is precisely what many people can't get in the business context.
In the past, what you could see on the Internet was a certain big-name artist, filming a TV series, and the salary for each episode was as high as it was. It's rare to see that the script created by the screenwriter sells for too high a price.
Only those screenwriters who have become famous, and the scripts they create are not only a guarantee of ratings, but also a guarantee that investors are willing to pay money. This is also directed, many times some new screenwriters can only accept the helpless situation of the script being filmed under the name of others.
At present, Lin Xingchen is very sure that including Zhao Baogang, they all appreciate this script. So the question is, how to make Zhao Baogang willing to let Lin Xingchen hang up the screenwriter name of this script?
Seeing his explanation, Zhao Baogang seemed noncommittal. Lin Xingchen continued: "Director Zhao, I believe you should know that there is a very lively new word on the Internet now, and that is the post-80s.
It is now the end of the 05th year, which means that most of the early post-80s generations are about to enter the threshold of 30. We have an old saying that 'stand at thirty', so how many of today's post-80s generations can really succeed in their careers?
Although I was born in a small city in southern Gansu, I began to get in touch with the Internet when I was a freshman in high school. I like to go into some forums, enter some post bars, and watch some of the most lively topics at the moment. There are many of them, which are about the topic of the post-80s.
Many people feel that our generation is both lucky and unlucky. Take the topic of college graduates, for example, in the early nineties, college students were assigned jobs. What about our generation?
In the early years, it was very rare for someone to have a college student. But with the expansion of university enrollment, how many college graduates in China are facing unemployment on the day of graduation? These are the original intentions of my creation of this script. ”
Listening to Lin Xingchen's confident and sincere solution, Zhao Baogang was finally convinced that the script in front of him should be from Lin Xingchen's hand. But he was also very surprised that Lin Xingchen's mind was so precocious.
Looking at the script in his hand, Zhao Baogang finally smiled and said, "Director Long, it seems that your literature department has really produced a great talent." Mr. Lin, I'm afraid I won't be able to give you a definite answer to this script for the time being.
Presumably you should know that a script has to go through a very complicated process from project approval to shooting. And this year, I already have a shooting plan. If you're willing to wait, I can bring the script back and discuss it with the company's producers.
To tell you the truth, these topics you care about, in fact, I am also paying attention to. Contemporary young people, it seems that they are not like our generation, they always feel that they are impetuous, unwilling to accept the status quo, and too utilitarian. This script, the theme and concept are very good.
Although the script you wrote is good, there are some things I have to admit to it. For a TV, the fame of the screenwriter also has a lot to do with it. Because, the cost of filming a TV series is not low.
Even though I'm a director, I also have to plan for the company's profits. In front of Director Long, I can't say anything about buying a right of authorship. But I must say that even if the script is accepted, the creation fee will not be too high. ”
Seeing that Zhao Baogang was also telling the truth, Long Jun smiled and said, "Old Zhao, although I know the rules of your circle. But you have to know, this script is very good. I can also recommend it to others if you don't want to.
Xingchen is my student, and he is also a student that I value very much. If someone wants to play any hidden rules on him, then I will naturally not sit idly by. I hope you can help him a little more, after all, he needs a chance when he is young.
As I said earlier, Xingchen admires your personality and directing ability. And I also know that your Lao Zhao is a real person. Although you have your concerns, you also need your help in this matter. ”
Although Long Jun said this with a smile, Zhao Baogang could also hear that Long Jun cared about this script very much, and even cared about Lin Xingchen's future. If he really played Zhang Guan and Li Dai's tricks, I was afraid that Long Jun would not sit idly by.
Don't look at the other party as just the head of a college, but in this circle, Long Jun's connections cannot be ignored. Even Long Jun can really speak, many of them are officials and scholars who manage the film and television industry.
If you offend such a person, even if Zhao Baogang is not afraid, you will feel very troublesome. If you really want to make Long Jun have a bad opinion of him because of a script, it will really outweigh the losses.
Lin Xingchen, who also heard the meaning of the words, didn't want Zhao Baogang to be embarrassed, and quickly smiled and said, "Director, thank you for your concern." I am also very clear about the implicit rules of this circle.
As you said, I'm young, though I need a chance. But I also know that I am a complete newcomer, and I don't have any capital to negotiate terms with others. But I also have my own ethics, which is that I care a lot about the work I create.
If you want to create a work that you are satisfied with, I don't need to say the process, I believe Director Zhao also knows it. It is not too much to regard the work as a painstaking effort. I wouldn't agree to give my heart and soul to someone else.
Even if I can get a lot of money in return, I'll resist it too. The reason is simple, I'm not short of money, all I'm missing is opportunities. If it doesn't work this time, then I can wait for next time.
In fact, this script is just the first youth-themed script in my conception. If this script can be successful, I believe it will also have a great incentive effect on my next two plays.
If you say, a script Director Zhao may feel that it is not available. So, will Director Zhao feel a pity for a youth series of works? After all, a good script is also hard to find for a good director. ”
In his previous life, Zhao Baogang was really famous and was well known by countless young people. A large part of the reason is the youth trilogy directed by him. And the struggle is the first part of the trilogy, and the other two parts are also stored in Lin Xingchen's mind.
Looking at Lin Xingchen's confident expression, Zhao Baogang felt that Lin Xingchen was a little conceited. After all, for a well-known screenwriter, there must be no guarantee that every time the script created will be sought after.
But he must admit that this script is rare. If he misses it, maybe he will really regret it in the future. And he also knows that a freshman can create such an excellent work, who dares to say that he really has no confidence.
Although the film and television industry is very realistic, some people can quickly become popular as long as they are given a chance. Zhao Baogang, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, has also seen a lot of this situation. As the old saying goes, 'It is better to bully the old and weak, than to bully the young and poor'!
In order to ease the atmosphere of the negotiation, Lin Xingchen quickly said: "Director Zhao, to be honest, I am really happy to see you this time, and it is not too much to describe it as a surprise." Because in my eyes, you are also a director who is obsessed with his dreams.
Although I dare not say, know too much about your experience of fame. But I know more or less that before entering this industry, you were also an ordinary worker in Shougang. Because of his love of art, he finally entered this industry.
Over the years, you have filmed a lot of popular works, and you have also become popular with many young actors. I also believe that handing over the script to you should be the best choice. As you said, I don't care how much it costs to create, I only care about the opportunity to enter the industry. ”
If you want to gain, you must first lose!
Lin Xingchen's concessions and sincerity made Zhao Baogang really satisfied with him. Even if Long Jun heard this, he also looked at him with appreciation. I feel that Lin Xingchen is so young and has such a mature and stable mentality, which is really rare! (A good event for pie in the sky, cool mobile phones are waiting for you!)
