Chapter 26 Ming Pao Supplement
After Zhao Chen and Shangguan Xiaobao left the Ming Pao Group, both of them had heartfelt smiles on their faces; Zhao Chen was naturally because he was treated well, while Shangguan Xiaobao was unhappy because of Jin Yong's deflatedness.
"Uncle Shangguan, I'll go back to catch up with the manuscript first!"
"Wait, I said Zhao Chen, you really eat like this! If you draw comics and write novels, comics are published every three days, and novels are tens of thousands of words a day, you just don't want to die! How can the body eat like this, or let your uncle Shangguan go and change the three-day magazine into a weekly, people, you have to take a long-term view. ”
Shangguan Xiaobao patted Zhao Chen's shoulder, and persuaded with an amiable expression, it was okay in the Ming Pao Group, it was impossible for him to say this in front of Jin Yong, so he had to say it until now.
"Uncle Shangguan, don't worry! I have a lot of inspiration in this head! And as long as the novel is updated every day, it will be completed by 10,000 words, but I feel very relaxed, so I will have two more hours of free time every day, uh, what should I do? It's not easy to have a quiet day! ”
Shangguan Xiaobao felt that he couldn't keep up with the changes of the times, maybe he couldn't understand Zhao Chen at all, and the workload that seemed like a fantasy to him was Zhao Chen, so how could he become idle. For the first time in his life, he felt a sense of frustration, how could the gap between people be so big.
"Well, so be it, it's your freedom anyway! And there is still a lack of money on your body, your Uncle Shangguan can still give you a fulcrum! ”
With a smile on his face, Zhao Chen touched his pocket and said: "There are still hundreds of Hong Kong dollars, you can spend this month by saving some flowers, you don't bother with this old age, then I'll go back first!" Uncle Shangguan, see you next week! ”
Shangguan Xiaobao watched Zhao Chen leave, and when Zhao Chen's figure disappeared completely, he looked up at the sky and said to himself in a rather vicissitudes tone: "Maybe the sky is your limit!" ”
Zhao Chen sat on the bus on the way back, closed his eyes and thought, now he is still in the early stage of creation, just to solve the problem of food and clothing, naturally he will take up all the extra time, just what to do for two hours a day.
It seems too early to write another comic, and I don't have enough money to publish it at my own expense, so I can't keep giving the big head to others to earn it, which is naturally not good! It's okay if you don't have the strength, but when you have this strength, how can you be willing to be subordinate. As for the working emperors in those large groups, they look very glamorous and can make a lot of money every year, but they still haven't gotten out of the scope of working people.
As for writing novels, he was directly vetoed by Zhao Chen, a copy of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is almost enough, how can there be so much time to write novels, animation is his foundation.
Zhao Chen thought of investing or speculating in stocks, but he was directly rejected, the reason is nothing more than that there is not enough start-up capital, and it takes a period of accumulation to do it.
"What else is within my power and more profitable? By the way, the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang was the most prosperous during this period, why did you forget this! However, as an actor or director, you definitely don't have that time, and you don't even have any experience, the key is who will invite yourself as a layman, who can only do tricks or field work if you die; As for opening a film company or something like that, it's even more impossible, with no time, no experience and no money; That's right, that's it, you can still play your strengths, how can I say that I have watched some classic TV series and movies before! ”
Zhao Chen thought about it, excluded one profession after another in his heart, and after a while, he determined the goal, that is, the screenwriter!
"I don't know how to write the script, but I can directly describe the picture in my mind in detail, and the effect will definitely be much better than this. As for whether to write a movie script or a TV series, it stands to reason that both have their own merits; However, according to my fame, even if I write a movie script, I can only go to those small companies, and the remuneration I get is naturally not good, it seems that I can only hit the idea into the TV drama script, at least there is some hope! Zhao Chen thought happily in his heart and determined a feasible plan.
As for TV series scripts, Zhao Chen has dozens of them in his mind, but many of them are incomplete, because he rarely watched TV series or movies in his previous life, but focused on anime. is full of calculations, and I can't even reach ten after watching all the TV series, but they are all more classic.
Zhao Chen selected the complete TV series he had watched, and excluded them one by one, the closer the era, the better, after all, some classic TV series are related to the current shape and era, and if you don't get it yourself, you will hit the street, then it will be a waste of time.
In line with the principle of waste and shame, after Zhao Chen returned home, he directly wrote three words on the manuscript paper, that is, the classic TV series that shined a year later - Shanghai Tang!
When writing the script, Zhao Chen used A4 paper, because he not only had to express the picture in his mind in words, but also occasionally needed to compose the picture. The composition is quite simple for him, and there is nothing wrong with the rough points of the drawing, as long as the director understands it.
Shanghai Tang has a total of 25 episodes, and it can only be regarded as a medium-length TV series in terms of the number of episodes, but whether a TV series is a classic or not is not measured by the number of episodes! Zhao Chen naturally didn't modify the plot in it, because this TV series really doesn't need any modifications, just follow it.
Because he writes in too much detail, the director can only write about two episodes a day, and at this level, it will take about two weeks to completely complete it. But he didn't do that, and planned to vote directly for the TV station in a week. Because at this time, the scripts of the Xiangjiang TV series were basically made up while filming, and it was mainly decided whether to continue according to the ratings it obtained, and it was precisely because of this system that it also saved a lot of costs, and it also restricted the exhibition.
Two days later, Zhao Chen finished exercising early in the morning and did not return home immediately, but went to a newsstand.
"Boss, have a copy of today's Ming Pao!"
"No, here you go!" The boss took the Hong Kong dollar in Zhao Chen's hand, took out a copy of "Ming Pao" very skillfully, and handed it to Zhao Chen.
Over the years, Ming Pao has been one of the best-selling newspapers in Hong Kong, selling almost 200,000 copies a day, making it one of the must-buy newspapers at every newsstand.
Zhao Chen took the newspaper to a short distance, looked at the stone chair in front of him, blew it, and sat down facing the newsstand.
Spreading out the newspaper, Zhao Chen glanced at it casually, picked out the history and martial arts column of "Ming Pao Supplement", observed it carefully, and closed it, after a rough count, the number on it was about the same as the number of serial words promised by Jin Yong, around 10,000 words.
At this time, a young man in his twenties came to Zhao Chen's side, he looked at the watch in his hand, perhaps because he felt that there was still a little time before the bus he was waiting for, and he also sat on the stone chair next to him like Zhao Chen, picked up the newspaper and read it.
The young man was only less than a meter away from Zhao Chen, Zhao Chen glanced up, and his eyes fell on the newspaper that the young man spread out, and now he was holding the same "Ming Pao", and he almost didn't look at it in front, he directly took out the "Ming Pao Supplement" and looked at it, he couldn't help but focus on the young man, he wanted to see what the effect of the novel version of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" was.
The young man set his eyes on the "Ming Pao Supplement", just glanced at it, his face frowned subconsciously, and he muttered to himself: "Strange, how to change the novel, that one is okay!" Why is this "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" serialized, is it better than that one, but I don't even have any impression of this author, it should be a rookie writer! That's it, it's idle anyway, it's idle, look at it, maybe it's still a good book. ”
Zhao Chen could faintly hear the young man's words talking to himself, and he couldn't help but show an inexplicable smile on his face, still secretly looking at the young man and observing his expression.
This is about 10,000 words of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", which is actually the first three chapters. The young man read carefully, and when he saw that the story was born in the Sui and Tang dynasties, his brows couldn't help frowning again, he had read a lot of martial arts novels, but few of them were in the Sui and Tang dynasties, most of them were concentrated in the Song Dynasty!
This gave him a bad impression, thinking that this seemingly novice writer was a bit ambitious, and it was far more difficult to write well about the Sui and Tang dynasties than the Song Dynasty, and it was difficult to find information in this era when there was no Internet, so he could only go to the bookstore to slowly flip through the books to find them, which was laborious and time-consuming.
But even so, the young man continued to look down, and this look was a bit out of control, and the whole person gradually came in, but because the protagonist of the first chapter had not yet appeared, the director took Yu Wenhua and as the protagonist.
When he saw the second chapter, it finally dawned on him that the original protagonist was not Yu Wenji, it seemed to be the character named Kou Zhong, but he didn't think about whether it was a single protagonist or a double protagonist, because he subconsciously thought that this was a single-protagonist novel.
But looking at it, he felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't think of anything wrong, but he could feel that this was a good martial arts novel, at least much better than the one that was replaced by "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and the number of words serialized at one time was significantly more.
When he saw that Shuanglong got the "Recipe for Longevity", his eyes tended to light up a little, and the martial arts cheats of this name must be the top cheats. followed by continued to look back with excitement, when I saw Fu Junzhuo being hit hard by Yu Wenhua and hard, because of the sense of substitution, I couldn't help but be a little worried, and I wanted to continue to watch the plot behind, but the result was gone!
