The work of a screenwriter is like painting a blueprint that must be used to build a house, and after providing it to the director, the honor of how the house will be built in the future will go to the director! The movie is good, of course, all the credit goes to the director; But if it's not good, the first person to be scolded must be the screenwriter.

In Hong Kong, except for a few famous masters, the screenwriter column has never been taken seriously. On the poster, the star lineup and the producer and director are often listed in detail, but who is the screenwriter is always omitted!

This is the true portrayal of Hong Kong screenwriters, everyone believes in a truth, that is: three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, a script is often led by the director or producer, by a group of people in turn**, you say a word, but ask for a certain scene, ask for a certain sentence of dialogue, even if it is the crystallization of wisdom.

It's strange that in these years, few film company bosses believe that a script can be completed by one person, so when Wang Jin, Cheng Long, and Hong Jinbao learned that Wang Zichuan could write so many scripts by himself, they would be so surprised, and the box office was a big hit, followed by deep admiration.

Screenwriters are not willing to be screenwriters, and those who are willing to be screenwriters will feel that the return is unreasonable! Like Wang Jin, he was an ace screenwriter when he was a TV station, and soon, he used this as a springboard to embark on the road of directing. Only as a director can he get hundreds of thousands or even millions of remunerations, and Wang Zichuan is the same, a script of "Flower Heart" is only 5,000 yuan, but he secretly co-produced a "Happy Ghost" with Wang Jin, but he made millions.

Wang Zichuan said loudly: "Before the meeting, I have investigated the editorial treatment of several large companies such as Xinyicheng, Jiahe, and Weishi, most of you have worked in these companies, needless to say, you know the treatment best, at present, all Hong Kong entertainment companies, only Xinyicheng screenwriter treatment is the best, a monthly salary of 1,500 fast, that is to say, the basic salary is 1,500 fast, you can only maintain your personal life, you want money, only write the script, write the script, the company will give you dividends." ”

Chen Jiashang deeply felt the same way, he worked in the Wei family, and he only had 2,000 yuan a month, but he was only a dead salary, and he didn't even have a dividend.

"And how much is our company?"

Wang Zichuan looked around the entire conference room and announced: "The basic salary of our company's screenwriters is 1,800 yuan, this is the basic salary, after six months, we have to submit the script to the company, there is no script, or the script is not finished, I'm sorry, please leave, our company is not a charity, and we don't raise idlers." ”

Wang Jin saw the joy below, and immediately asked cooperatively: "If I don't write a script and leave after half a year, I still earn 10,000 yuan." ”

"How can it be so cheap!" Wang Zichuan smiled faintly, and said: "All screenwriters have to be assessed, only those who pass guò can get a work permit, and those who don't have tong guò are not screenwriters, you can leave the company and don't want to leave, or you can work behind the scenes, and when you pass the guò assessment, you can still be a screenwriter." ”

There were joys and worries in the conference room, and the screenwriters who thought they were talented kept nodding their heads, thinking that this was a good idea, they had not only written a script, but it was not a matter of getting their hands on it!

The indiscriminate screenwriters frowned, secretly worried, they just relied on this bastard to eat, one company after another, they could not only receive a basic salary, but also work part-time to earn some extra money, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

A fat man was unwilling, and asked with insufficient confidence: "Is the assessment difficult?" ”

Wang Zichuan glanced at the fat man who asked the question, and said with a smile: "The assessment is all basic skills, as well as a person's understanding of the screenwriting industry, and the judgment of the future trend of the Hong Kong film industry, which is assessed once every three months." ”

Chen Jiashang asked: "If you pass the assessment once, will you continue the assessment next time?" ”

Wang Zichuan said: "The first time to assess the guò, you can no longer participate in the assessment, if you want to be a director, I still participate, as long as your level is high enough, I and some directors will interview in person, both of them are passing, congratulations, you are the new director of the company!" ”

Chen Jiashang is very satisfied, this is completely set up for him, from a screenwriter to a director in another company, you can only boil up your qualifications, and wait until everyone in the company affirms your talent, and will give you a chance, earn, you are the director, accompany, you will experience a few more years, and when you meet a mean company, you will be asked to pack up your things and get out.

Wang Jin and Chen Baixiang didn't approve of this at the beginning, it was too complicated, and the treatment of the later screenwriters was too high.

Chen Jiashang asked again: "The screenwriter writes the script, and the box office is a big hit, does the screenwriter itself have a dividend?" How much is the dividend? ”

Liu Guanwei is also staring at Wang Zichuan, he recently conceived a script, zombie theme, he really hopes to get a chance to direct this film, because of the subject matter, he is not sure about the box office, I want to hear the treatment of the screenwriter, if he can, he will take out the script, hoping to get Wang Zichuan's appreciation.

Wang Zichuan deliberately paused for a while, satisfying everyone's appetite.

"Ahem...... Next, I will talk about the screenwriter's dividends, the screenwriter creates the script alone, the copyright belongs to the individual, and the company does not own it......"

There was a surprise in the conference room, and everyone was overjoyed, and they couldn't help but sigh loudly:

"Copyright belongs to the editor!"

"Such good conditions! That's great! ”

"Wouldn't that be a big deal, and the lowest copyright is tens of thousands of yuan!"

Wang Zichuan motioned for everyone to be quiet, and then said: "The company will buy your copyright, and on this basis, it will decide to shoot your film!" ”

"Oh! So that's it! The screenwriters and directors sighed in unison that the copyright finally fell into the hands of the company, and they were content with the unexpected copyright fees, and they did not shout loudly.

Wang Zichuan drank another saliva, simply drank it all, and motioned for Zhang Min to pour another glass.

"The screenwriter will share dividends according to the box office results, if a film exceeds 20 million, you can immediately serve as an assistant director, if the film wins, of course, it is the Hong Kong Film Awards or the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, the company will promote you to a gold medal screenwriter, and the basic salary will be increased to 5,000."

Liu Guanwei's heart moved, his script is very novel, the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards are uncertain, but the Hong Kong Film Awards are certain.

Wang Zichuan took the teacup handed over by Zhang Min and concluded: "In short, we Tengfei Pictures will continue to pay attention to the screenwriting industry, in order to adapt to the environment, I can't immediately increase the salary, let our company stand out, and cause chaos in the whole Hong Kong film industry, all in all, I will gradually improve the treatment of screenwriters, so that you can create with peace of mind, a script is a big hit, so that you can have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime, the box office is more than 20 million, you can get at least 300,000 dividends, plus copyright fees, you can get 500,000, there are one, there are two, Two books are a million! I've said everything I need to say, Alak, Ah Jin, you two stay for a while. ”

Liu Guanwei got up and stopped talking, remembering that the script was still at home, and followed everyone out, planning to take the script to the company and show it to Wang Zichuan in person.
