Chapter 861: The Turmoil Caused by a Korean Screenwriter (1)
TV drama is a clockwise art, which is generally told in a row according to why, so, and then, episode by episode. TV series are relatively long, generally with thirty or forty episodes, which requires the level of the screenwriter, to tell a story wonderfully, so that the audience can watch the last time and watch the next time, and it will be successful if there is continuity.
Therefore, if the film is the art of the director, then the TV series is the art of the screenwriter.
In Hong Kong Satellite TV's TV drama production, the screenwriter has great power, and if the director wants to change the script, he has to get their consent. It can be said that in the production of TV dramas on Hong Kong Satellite TV, the screenwriter is the core of the entire crew, and the director just uses the camera to tell the story according to the screenwriter's ideas.
Kim Yingxian is the screenwriter of Hong Kong Satellite TV, she was appreciated by Sun Ziming because of her outstanding talent, skipped the trainee screenwriter and screenwriter, and directly became the chief screenwriter of "Shang Shi Palace", leading more than a dozen trainee screenwriters and screenwriters to create the script of "Shang Shi Palace". This kind of airborne success has made many screenwriters in the TV station unconvinced, but the director Qiu Xiaoming doesn't care so much, and Mr. Sun's vision is the reason.
This way of supporting the back, so that Kim Young-hyun, who has been working hard in South Korea's MBC (Korean Culture Broadcasting Corporation) for several years, does not know what the Taiwan elder means? Hong Kong Satellite TV adopts a professional manager system, and the director has great autonomy, and even the general manager and chairman of the group will not interfere with its daily management and operation at will. Mr. Sun opened his mouth, with his achievements in the film and television industry, this Director Qiu must give this face. If "Shangshi Palace" succeeds, it is naturally easy to say anything, and if it fails, you will go back to Korea!
The competition in the workplace has always been cruel, what Kim Young-hyun can guess, how can those screenwriters who are so good not guess? As soon as the screenwriting team of "Shangshi Palace" was established, only Kim Young-hyun could write and use his brain, and he would do what other people arranged, anyway, so that she, the chief screenwriter, couldn't find anything wrong.
Kim Young-hyun, a Korean woman, is also ruthless enough, seeing that the screenwriting team did not cooperate, she simply kept only two obedient female trainees, brutally fired all the others, and used the allowances of more than a dozen people for herself and the two trainees - rented a luxurious hotel-style apartment, and the three of them checked the information, discussed the plots, and created "Shangshi Palace" without leaving home.
……
While listening to the report of the director Qiu Xiaoming, Sun Ziming flipped through the script of "Shangshi Palace" that he had just handed in. The first ten episodes are not so much like a script, but like a historical novel with beautiful writing and plot twists, such a script will be a rare classic as long as the director and actors are not too bad.
After reading the script, Sun Ziming casually threw it on the table and said casually: "How did you deal with the screenwriter who was fired by her?" ”
"Oh, I was assigned to another crew."
It seems that the TV station has gone downhill in the past two years, it is not unreasonable, the script has completed ten episodes, and it has long been possible to start shooting, see how the effect is, and then decide whether to continue filming, or modify the plot according to the audience's preferences. The dates on the script just now, this is last month's date, Sun Ziming quietly pointed to the script on the table, "Lao Qiu, what do you think of the quality of this book?" ”
"It's very good, it's time to start filming, but we don't have a director of this level in the station. According to her script, hundreds of actors have to be called in at any time, and our directors have no experience with this.
Well, I suggested that our director shoot small scenes, and ask the director from the mainland to help with the big scenes. They have filmed a lot of big scenes, and they have a lot of experience in controlling the scenes, and they can also let our directors learn from them. ”
This is a pertinent statement, Hong Kong is too small, and the talent pool is insufficient, and if you want to make a large-scale historical TV series, you must cooperate with the mainland.
"Okay, you're busy, I'll go first", Sun Ziming got up and waved at the reporter who was standing at the door and wanted to interview, indicating that he would not be interviewed.
After getting out of the TV station, Lu Huiguang started the car and said in a low voice: "Brother Ming, do you want to go see Miss Jin?" ”
People are in a good state of creation, why bother yourself?
"No, it's almost time, find a place to eat."
"Oh, Uncle Zeng called just now and asked us to go to his house for dinner, Brother Jing and they are also there."
'Hmm', Sun Ziming muttered, looking at the endless flow of pedestrians and vehicles outside the car window, without thinking about it, he knew that Uncle Zeng wanted to use the TV station to open the knife.
It's okay to be unconvinced, but you can't joke about work, and the dozen or so screenwriters have committed a big taboo. Qiu Xiaoming, as the director, not only did he deal with this situation, but also thought about making peace with the mud, if Uncle Zeng didn't do it, then he would not be the boss in charge of a large film and television group.
When the car arrived at Uncle Zeng's house, Sun Ziming said hello to Aunt Zeng and Yuan Jing, and made love with Zeng Hao, who was already in kindergarten, for a while, and then went to the table with Wang Fatzi for dinner.
Sun Ziming guessed the intention of this dinner, but Wang Fatzi was confused, and when Uncle Zeng mentioned that he would change the personnel director of the TV station, he looked at the two of them in surprise. Hong Kong Satellite TV has developed to this day, Qiu Xiaoming has made an indispensable contribution, and now he wants to move his team, does it mean that he will be moved next?
"Don't look at me, I only spend a few days in Hong Kong a year? However, when I went to the TV station today, I heard that the screenwriter did not cooperate with the chief screenwriter. ”
After listening to Sun Ziming's impartial narration, Wang Fatzi yelled that it was not good, and he knew this. Qiu Xiaoming's favorite chief screenwriter is Zeng Jinchang, a gold medal screenwriter who has created "The Great Era" and "The King of Comedy", but he didn't expect to be a chief screenwriter parachuted in from South Korea, and Kim Yingxian, who has only two years of experience in the industry and has no independent screenwriting experience.
Wang Fatzi didn't expect that Qiu Xiaoming didn't listen to him, didn't directly oppose Sun Ziming, and adopted a method of disobeying yang and yin, isn't this looking for death?
"So it's decided? I want Gao Ying to go to the TV station as the deputy director and personnel director, and it just so happens that she has straightened out the matter here and can throw it to the assistant. ”
"Row"
As soon as Sun Ziming opened his mouth again, Wang Fatzi didn't even have a chance to explain, so he had to stuff his head and pick up rice.
Gao Ying is such a spicy person in the past, and the personnel power of the TV station has been pinched by the headquarters, and the next step is probably the financial power. If this continues, will there still be the independence of the TV station? What's worse is that Gao Ying, like Yuan Mei, only has Ziming in her eyes, and it is impossible for her to mention other candidates.
Zeng Xiang is really a powerful character, worthy of being trained by the sixth uncle!
Lao Qiu, Lao Qiu, how did you bring the habit of ATV (Asia Television) to Hong Kong Satellite TV?
……
How to manage the company, Sun Ziming doesn't like to ask, and this is not his strength. But Kim Yingxian couldn't help but be shocked when she saw from the TV that Hong Kong Satellite TV suddenly fired more than a dozen screenwriters, and they were all members of her team.
Her two assistants also shuddered a little when they watched the TV, and began to appreciate the cruelty of the workplace. Although they were repeatedly warned not to stumble on their colleagues in official affairs when they received their induction education, the TV station was too ruthless, right? Now that the economy is so sluggish, what should the family do if more than a dozen seniors were suddenly dismissed?
“Mrs。 Kim, is your Korean TV station so strict? ”
Kim Young-hyun nodded, but replied again: "It is common to fire people for dereliction of duty, but it is rare to be fired on such a large scale. ”
“Why?”
"Sit"
Kim Yingxian, who was sitting at the bar, poured a cup of coffee for her two subordinates, and after two months, she liked these two Chinese colleagues with solid historical and cultural knowledge and hard work.
"It's very simple, our management is much stricter than yours, so naturally not so many people dare to violate the company's regulations. When I used to work at MBC (Korean Culture Broadcasting Corporation), my colleagues in the station were even trotting to walk, so how dare they make mistakes in business? No, in your words, it's called 'doing or not doing is a matter of attitude, and doing well and doing bad is a matter of ability'. We take this very seriously, and we can make mistakes in ability, but we are never allowed to make mistakes in attitude! ”
Although the two trainee screenwriters have not been in the company for a long time, what is the situation in the station, how do they not know? Although the personnel relationship is not as complicated as TVB and ATV, this one is the master and the other is the apprentice, and all kinds of small circles can be seen everywhere.
This time, Miss Jin was rejected by those seniors, wasn't it the hints of the director and the screenwriter that made them understand? It's just that they didn't expect that the group headquarters would be so ruthless this time, and even the personnel director was dismissed and replaced with the famous Miss Gao. Thinking of Gao Ying's legend, the two girls who have just graduated for less than a year are full of admiration.
"Miss Gao is so powerful?"
Well, she used to be a gold medal anchor, and when Mr. Sun's career was just starting out, she jumped to Light and Shadow. I heard that her annual salary at that time was already 600,000 Hong Kong dollars! ”
Jin Yingxian couldn't help but take a breath, how much was 600,000 Hong Kong dollars seven or eight years ago, and how much can an assistant get? With such a vision, it's no wonder she can get ahead so quickly.
Listening to the gossip of the two assistants, Kim Young-hyun suddenly lost his inhibitions, and the front became bright. That Miss Gao is so strong, her script has completed the first thirty episodes, she should be ready to start filming, right?
No, I can't shoot yet! When Gao Ying forcefully fired twelve screenwriters at one time, shocking the industry, she found out that the problem of the TV station was stricter than she imagined. For the repertoire that has been established for two years, hundreds of experts have been hired for the preparatory work alone to study the key projects of the history at that time.
When the director Qiu Xiaoming saw that Sun Ziming's former assistant suddenly parachuted into the TV station and fired the members of the former Kim Yingxian's team at one time, he felt that the big thing was not good, and this was the rhythm of taking advantage of himself. Zeng Xiang is powerful, he can understand it before, the next step must be to tighten financial power, followed by internal cohesion and division, and finally sweep him and a group of henchmen out of the house.
His henchmen, gold medal screenwriter Zeng Jinchang and others also panicked, and hurriedly threw down the matter at hand to Qiu Xiaoming to ask for advice.
Don't look at everyone who has become famous, they are all well-known figures in the industry, but they all follow the previous master-apprentice and brotherly relationship, and now seeing that the position of the leading brother is not guaranteed, whether these people are going or staying, there must be an accurate idea, right?
Qiu Xiaoming looked at a group of panicked subordinates, and he was not much nervous, they were all well-known screenwriters and directors in the industry. It is impossible for the TV station to do anything to them, even if they want to dismiss them, it is nothing more than the owner not doing the west, but just changing the owner.
Wang Jing had warned him before that when working in the Light and Shadow Group, he should think more about his work and less about forming gangs, and he should not have ambitions. Hmph, at this time and that time, even Shao Lao Liu has begun to allow the management to hold shares, why not, Hong Kong Satellite TV? People always have to go up, and water flows down!
