Zhang Yixin, a very feminine name, 26 years old, Svenwen, wearing a pair of 600-degree glasses, graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University.

In recent years, the graduates of the Chinese Department of Peking University are all big cattle, all of them are big talents, and they should have a taste for mixing, but he is very bad now, very bad.

"Damn, what kind of shit are you writing about?" An obese middle-aged man took the script written by Zhang Yixin and flipped through it, and immediately roared: "What I want is a Qing palace drama, Gege, brother." Look at what you wrote, how did a modern woman appear in the Qing Dynasty? ”

"Boss, this is called crossing" Zhang Yixin was just about to explain when she was rudely interrupted by a middle-aged fat man: "Wear a fart, my small company can't afford to support you, go out to the right is the financial room, you can go." ”

Saying that, the middle-aged fat man threw the manuscript on the table, Zhang Yixin's face was gloomy, she didn't say anything, picked up the script on the table, and walked out silently.

"Hey, I've been fired again, am I really not the material to be a screenwriter?" Zhang Yixin came out of the building with an envelope, looked back at the building behind her and sighed.

It's been three years, and after graduation, he has been drifting in Beijing for three years, and he can't figure out how many film and television companies he has been in, how many studios he has mixed in, and how many crews he has followed.

The end of three years of struggle is 800 yuan in the envelope? Or does it prove that he is not the material to be a screenwriter? Although Zhang Yixin was unwilling, she also had to face the reality.

He began to be confused, doubting whether his original insistence was worth it, thinking that his classmates were all better than him, either the editor-in-chief or a well-known columnist, and he was still a North Drifter who had no fixed residence.

"Dididi" At this time, the BB machine on his waist rang, and he saw that the number was his friend Zhang Peng in the university dormitory, who was better than him, and was now a professor at Hunan University.

Zhang Yixin ran to a phone booth on the side of the street and dialed the phone, "Professor Zhang, what instructions do you have?" ”

"You kid don't make a lot of sycophants." Zhang Peng smiled on the phone. Then he said seriously: "Hey, I'll tell you a serious matter." Have you ever heard of Jade Emperor Entertainment? ”

"The Jade Emperor? What about the Queen Mother? Zhang Yixin, the name of such a low company, said that she had never heard of it.

"My day." Zhang Peng burst into a foul language, and then exclaimed exaggeratedly: "I said you don't stay at home all day, you are also a screenwriter, and you can be regarded as a person in the entertainment industry, even the Jade Emperor Entertainment, which has been in the limelight recently, I really want to despise you." ”

"Huh." Zhang Yixin smiled, his character is indeed like what his friends said.

"Hey, I've got you." Zhang Peng said helplessly, and then he said casually: "F4, you must not know who Lu Dao is." ”

"Hey, hey. F4 I know the way, isn't it the four handsome guys of Daoming Temple, Hua Ze, Ximen, and Meizuo. Zhang Yixin's answer surprised Zhang Peng.

Zhang Yixin knew that F4 was also seen from the landlord's daughter, a few days ago I met the landlord's daughter in the corridor, she was holding a poster printed with F4 in her hand, because the four handsome guys on the poster were too eye-catching, he couldn't help but look at it twice, and his acute remembered the four handsome guys.

"Ha, do you know that F4 is good, tell you that Hua Ze is the boss of Jade Emperor Entertainment?" Zhang Peng said with a smile.

Then Zhang Peng briefly introduced some of the situation of Jade Emperor Entertainment, and then said an important news: Jade Emperor Entertainment is recruiting screenwriters.

"Although Jade Emperor Entertainment has been established for less than 4 months. But the development potential should not be underestimated, I have also been in contact with the boss of the Jade Emperor, Mr. Kobayashi, that is, the Hanazawa class in F4, although I only chatted with him for a few words. It's not very familiar yet, but I feel that he is a man with an eye for heroes, and your talent should be appreciated. So, when I learned that Jade Emperor Entertainment was recruiting screenwriters. The first one came to mind, I think this opportunity is rare, don't miss it. Hurry up and get to Chang*sha for an interview. Zhang Peng said earnestly.

"Okay, then I'll give it a try."

"That's it, hang up the phone, bye"

Zhang Yixin was moved by the words of his dead friend, and he decided to pack his luggage and take the train to Chang Sha in the evening

On Monday, February 23, the weather in Changsha slowly warmed up.

The atmosphere inside the Jade Emperor Entertainment Company is a little more lively than a year ago, and there are more people who have made the most significant changes.

Just after the Spring Festival, the first major event that Chen Lin arranged when he returned to the company was to vigorously recruit all kinds of talents, including directors, screenwriters, advertising and marketing, planning, etc.

So far, as the general manager, Yu Yu has also personally gone to several art schools to recruit talents. And Chen Lin went to Taiwan * Bay to deal with the post-production of "Meteor Garden", he just came back yesterday, and today he has to personally interview 6 screenwriters who were finally screened.

The average age of the 6 screenwriters who have gone through three rounds of assessment is about 25 years old, 2 women and 4 men, among which Zhang Yixin is among them.

They sat in a conference room waiting for the final boss to test, the atmosphere in the office was very dull, everyone was silent, and the tea in front of them was not moved.

"Squeak!" The door opened, and Chen Lin walked in.

"Mr. Kobayashi, hello" Chen Lin is both a boss and a star, they all know each other, so all 6 people stood up and said hello.

"Everyone, please take a seat, I'm sorry that there are cars on the road and everyone has to wait for half an hour." Chen Lin said apologetically while asking everyone to sit down.

Chen Lin himself sat down, first took a sip of the teacup in front of him, and then looked at the six screenwriters and looked at their information.

The oldest is Zhang Yixin, who is 26 years old this year, and the youngest is a boy named Zhang Bin, who is only 20 years old and is still in school.

Chen Lin didn't say any nonsense, and said straight to the point: "There are 6 talents who can pass the three assessments, and I won't test you in terms of professionalism, I just want to say that you have some special requirements to join the screenwriting department of the Jade Emperor Company, first of all, I will explain to you." ”

The six people hurriedly pricked up their ears, Chen Lin paused and continued: "First of all, the copyright of the work belongs to the company, if the company provides creative collective creation, the copyright of the work created by the individual belongs to the company, and the company retains the copyright for 10 years, and the company has the right of priority to purchase after 10 years, and then the work created by the individual is bought out by the company, and the copyright belongs to the company." ”

When Chen Lin's other demands were not in a hurry, the mention of a copyright issue alone made the four screenwriters in an uproar, and they couldn't sit still and whispered to each other.

Only Zhang Yixin and the youngest Zhang Bin were indifferent. Zhang Yixin has experienced a lot, and he has long understood the shady scenes of the screenwriting industry, he thinks that the Jade Emperor Company is okay, at least there is a so-called buyout, a 10-year period, in many studios in Beijing * Beijing, you mention the copyright to him, and a mouthful of water will kill you.

At least for three years, he hasn't even seen what copyright is, and even many in the studio, the scripts you worked so hard to write can't even be signed, and many of the scripts he has written have finally been put on the screenplay's signature column. Without him.

In fact, it is said that the screenwriter is putting gold on his face, and he should be called a "gunman".

Zhang Yixin was unmoved because of her experience, while Zhang Bin was purely unaware of copyright in her heart, and she was fearless if she didn't know.

"Give everyone 10 minutes to think about it, sorry I'll go to the bathroom first." Chen Lin didn't continue, but stood up and walked out.

When he returned to the conference room 10 minutes later, there were only 4 screenwriters in the room, and 2 people left.

Chen Lin didn't care, he smiled and took out four contracts from his briefcase and handed them to the four people. Then, without saying a word, he sat in his chair and watched the four of them read the contract.

"How is the copyright contract of the Jade Emperor Company to protect the legitimate interests of the screenwriter from infringement, protect the authorship of the screenwriter, and protect the screenwriter from what I just said?"

"Wow, that's right. The screenwriter's salary accounts for 10%-15% of a film's budget, and I remember that the highest standard in China is 3%-6%. Most screenwriters only calculate the manuscript fee according to the word, and I paid 100,000 words a month in my last job, and the manuscript fee was 30 yuan per thousand words. There's no such pay! ”

"Jade Emperor Company promises to give *** screenwriters a considerable right to speak, and directors and producers are not allowed to adapt, add or delete their works without the consent of *** screenwriters"

The 4 people were all excited after reading the contract, even Zhang Yixin was no exception. At this moment, his excited lips trembled: "Mr. Xiao Xiaolin's contract didn't fool us, right?" ”

"Hehe, the black and white words are here, what do you say?" Chen Lin smiled and continued: "If the four of you are satisfied with this contract, you can sign it, if you are not satisfied, I will express regret." ”

"Satisfied, satisfied." The four of them nodded like chickens pecking rice, and couldn't wait to sign their names on the contract, they were afraid that Chen Lin would regret and withdraw the contract.

"Bang bang." Chen Lin fell into joy when he saw that the four of them signed the contract, so he clapped his palms and attracted the attention of the four people.

He suddenly said with a serious expression: "There is another clause in the contract, unless the two parties agree, otherwise one of the parties will leak the content of the contract, especially the content about the salary, as a voluntary breach of contract, and compensate 1 million to the other party." Do you see this? ”

All 4 people clicked, can you not see it, 1 million compensation is very scary. The reason why Chen Lin strictly restricts secrecy is that he is afraid of causing a group of resistance in the industry.

There are unspoken rules in any industry, and if a company does not increase the salary of screenwriters or other personnel without following the market price, it will be regarded as a spoiler and troublemaker.

Although Chen Lin has the idea of wanting to be a spoiler, but not now, the reason why he has raised the treatment of screenwriters by several grades is very simple, the status of screenwriters is extremely important, so to speak, one of the important reasons for the decline of Hong Kong movies is that screenwriters have low salaries and no rights, except for a few screenwriters with an annual income of more than one million in Hong Kong, most of the other 98% screenwriters cannot support their families by creation alone, and no one wants to be a screenwriter over time.

At noon, in order to show his importance to the screenwriter, Chen Lin personally picked up the wind for the four people, and the company's senior management was all present, which made the four people feel flattered.

After the meal, Chen Lin led the four of them to his office and took out a draft script and handed it to the four people, asking the four of them to make the draft into a professional script within a month.

The four of them took the script and left to go back to their screenwriting office. Zhang Yixin, who returned to the office, couldn't wait to untie the file bag and take out the draft script, only to see that the first thing that caught her eyes was a line of bold letters: military-themed sitcom "The Story of the Cooking Class".
