Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Book of a Play
"Who wrote this script?"
Almost in unison, the three of them looked at each other vigilantly, although they didn't say anything more, but there was a hint of gunpowder in the air.
Liang Mengda and Mo Bei glanced at each other, and asked quietly, "What do the three of you think?" ”
The bearded man was the first to grab it: "I took this play!" ”
The slightly chubby middle-aged man snorted disdainfully: "You said you would take it?" Director Luo, what you are good at is mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, it is not appropriate for you to direct this drama, right? ”
The bearded man was just about to get angry, and the acne-covered man also answered: "Director Meng is right, and besides, Director Luo, don't you have another drama directing recently, isn't it too appropriate to eat the bowl and look at the pot?" ”
"Hmph, it seems to make a lot of sense, but, Director Meng, I remember that you seem to be the best at filming urban sitcoms, right? Oh, by the way, and Xiao Wu is even more powerful, born in an online TV series, wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing to hand over such a good script to you? ”
The bearded man is not in vain, and he squeezed the two competitors into a corner with one sentence.
The other two were not vegetarians either, and all kinds of black materials from each other were shaken out with full firepower, and the conference room suddenly became a mess.
Liang Mengda and Mo Bei smiled helplessly, Yitian Pictures has a shallow foundation after all, the most rare talent in the film and television industry is both a director and a screenwriter, but they didn't expect to just solve the screenwriter, and they were stuck in the problem of director, in fact, they don't know the details of these three, it's just that the famous and appealing directors are the hearts and minds of major film and television companies, they can't dig it up, the rest is their kind of work, not up or down, and the level is average, and there are no works that are too good.
But it's good that people have experience, so it's more than enough to be better than the top.
"Enough!"
Jiang Lai shouted with an angry face.
How can she make up for sleep if she is so noisy!
"Who are you? Which round is here to get your little girl to talk? "The bearded man is a more representative of the industry, he is not famous but he is holding a shelf, he always feels that he is an artist, when he looks at Jiang Lai, a little girl, and the clothes on his body do not look like they have a background, and suddenly a sense of superiority arises spontaneously, and he can't help but scold.
Although the slightly chubby Meng Dao didn't speak, his face was also a little displeased.
And the young director with acne on his face was keenly aware of something and did not make any trouble.
"Hmm, this is Miss Jiang, who is also the screenwriter of this play, and is also the original author of the novel of this play." Liang Mengda coughed and said in an embarrassed introduction.
What the? Screenwriter? Just her? At first, none of the three believed that a teenage girl could write such a standardized and meticulous script? But when these words came out of Liang Mengda's mouth, they couldn't help but believe it.
After the shock, the bearded man and Director Meng quickly returned to their previous posture, isn't it just a screenwriter, they are directors, in the Chinese film and television industry, screenwriters are not just how the director handles, they say whatever they say, when is it the turn of a screenwriter to show off his power in front of them.
However, Director Wu, who was full of acne, smiled kindly at Jiang Lai, although this person's smile was a little hateful no matter how he looked at it.
Jiang Lai asked sleepily with half-squinted eyes: "Uncle Liang, Uncle Mo, have you decided?" ”
Liang Mengda and Mo Bei shook their heads a little embarrassed, of course, they are more inclined to the bearded and Director Meng, after all, the two of them are more experienced and have directed several TV series with good ratings, while Director Wu is young and talented, but after all, he is from an online drama background, and he has not yet proven himself on the small screen.
"It's a nuisance." Jiang Lai muttered.
Liang Mengda was about to say something but when he saw it, Jiang Lai yawned and said again: "Since you are so difficult to choose, why don't I help you choose?" ”
Not to mention Liang Mengda, the three directors are stupid, but Mo Bei shook his head and smiled bitterly, sure enough, this is really not a fuel-efficient master.
"Hmph, nonsense." The bearded beard is up.
Director Meng also had a disdainful expression.
In their opinion, Liang Mengda and Mo Bei would definitely not agree to such rude conditions for this little girl.
Liang Mengda was indeed about to say something, but was stopped by Mo Bei.
"Okay, you are the original author and screenwriter, then you choose!"
After Jiang Lai heard this, he showed a bright smile from Mo Bei, and then turned his head to sneer at the bearded man and Director Meng sly.
"You're good to go!"
The bearded man is completely stupid, what's the situation? What does this little girl mean by pointing her finger at him? And also......... What does it mean to be able to go out? Do you know who he is?
Several other people in the conference room were also stunned.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? Do you want me to repeat it again? Jiang Lai supported his chin with one hand, played with his hair a little boringly, and circled it with his fingers.
The bearded man glanced at Liang Mengda and Mo Bei, Liang Mengda wanted to speak and stopped, while Mo Bei had an unfathomable smile and watched coldly.
"Hmph, count you ruthless! We'll see! The bearded man slammed the door violently.
"Okay, there are only two left, let me explain first, since I wrote the script, then everything must be according to my rules."
"I can give you a week in the early stage, all the main creative staff work together to study the script, once a week has passed, the script is absolutely not allowed to be changed, and the filming process must be strictly executed in accordance with the script."
Jiang Lai still had a cynical expression, but his tone was very resolute, so resolute that there was no room for negotiation.
Bang, another one slammed the door out, and the slightly chubby Meng Dao was also angry and left.
"OK, that's you!" Jiang Lai smiled and pointed at the remaining Wu Dao with his fingers as delicate as green onions.
Liang Mengda and Mo Bei's faces were terrifyingly dark, this is too child's play, right?
"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang, I can't agree to your conditions." Director Wu said embarrassedly.
Jiang Lai changed his previous cynicism and sat up straight.
"Oh? Just for your ridiculous self-esteem as a director? ”
"Then let me ask you, what is the job of a screenwriter?"
"The script is the foundation of a play, why can you directors change it at will?"
"Don't tell me anything about inspiration, the creation of the script is a very rigorous work, a week in advance of the main creative staff meeting is to give you space to create, if you really have good inspiration can be put forward at any time, after everyone consultation I can modify according to your requirements, if a week is not enough to inspire you, there are only two reasons, the first is that the script is too bad and you are not interested at all, and the second is that you are not professional enough!"
Director Wu was stunned for a long time, judging from the irregular twitching of his cheeks, his heart must not be calm at this moment.
Liang Mengda and Mo Bei were also stunned, they are actually laymen in film and television dramas, so they are still confused about the doorway inside, in fact, the importance of the script in the American imperialist film and television circle is beyond the reach of Huaxia, in the United States, film and television dramas are a very professional industrial system, the early preparation is a very important part, and the early preparation script is the most important part of it, no matter how famous you are, it is impossible to get investment without a script.
Investors will first find a professional film and television agency to analyze your script, and once the script is established, not to mention the director, even the investor cannot change it at will, because this may damage the interests of other investors.
Although the United States imperialism has always been criticized for obliterating the director's spirituality, is there any country in the world whose cultural influence can be compared with that of the United States?
Of course, it must be admitted that such a production process will make it difficult for the director to play hard, but there are pros and cons to everything, just like a train running on a track, the track certainly restricts the train's running route, and at the same time avoids the accident of overturning.
Jiang Lai is very confident in her script, and what she lacks now is a director who can turn words into images step by step, rather than a director who is as imaginative as Wang Jiawei.
