Chapter 22: The Company
After handling the last work of the studio, Zhou Jichu and Fu Xiaoxiao began to work in the new company.
To say that there is no change is impossible. The office area has become larger, the number of people working has increased, there are many new departments, and there are more businesses.
But if you want to say that it has any impact on the editorial department, it is not so much.
The screenwriters still have to create, then adapt, and then connect with the crew. The only difference is that I finally don't have to run the business and negotiate the contract by myself, and these are done by other departments.
Zhou Jichu sat at his new workstation and didn't know where to start for a while.
"Clean up! Why are you stunned? Fu Xiaoxiao moved a box, tired and sweating profusely.
"I... This... The"
"Stammering what?" Fu Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhou Jichu.
"This workstation is too big! I don't know where to start~" Zhou Jichu gestured with his hand.
When they were in the studio before, Zhou Jichu and the others were in the same room, but Lan Feng had a door inside.
At that time, there was basically no other place for the workstation after putting down the computer. If you write something by hand, you have to put it on the keyboard.
Now there are twice as many workstations as before, and after the computers are put down, half of the office is still available. And it's a separate office area for the three of them.
I'm sorry for this device if I don't write some good work!
Zhou Jichu stroked the blank desk, unconsciously surging in his heart, and was excited.
"Hurry up and clean up, there are still things to do in the afternoon!" Fu Xiaoxiao threw the box that Zhou Jichu had put on the ground on the table.
"Eh, right away!"
The excited heart was taken aback, but Zhou Jichu didn't feel angry and immediately began to clean up.
Zhou Jichu inserted the last pen into the pen holder, and finally got his workstation layout at lunch.
"Going to dinner?" Fu Xiaoxiao sent out an invitation to dinner.
"Uh-huh!" Zhou Jichu nodded violently, and then took the badge and went down with Fu Xiaoxiao.
"I didn't expect that the company actually has its own canteen, which is really good, so it is much more convenient to eat." Zhou Jichu said as he bit a piece of ribs.
"Definitely! And the taste is not bad, and I can finally stop eating greasy takeout. Fu Xiaoxiao echoed.
Zhou Jichu glanced at Fu Xiaoxiao's dinner plate, which was full of green vegetables, green. Looking at his plate again, Zhou Jichu silently covered the shredded meat with green peppers.
"By the way, why didn't Sister Lan come to work today? I haven't seen her since I came back for the Chinese New Year, and if you hadn't bought her drinks every day, I wouldn't have known she was there. Zhou Jichu asked.
"She's gone to training with a few other screenwriters, and I guess I won't see her until next week." Fu Xiaoxiao replied.
"Ah~ It's not like I haven't seen her for a long time!"
"What? It's been a long time since I've heard her scold you for thinking about it! Fu Xiaoxiao joked.
"Not really! It's just that I haven't seen her for a long time, and I don't know if she's gained weight or lost weight after the New Year. ”
"Don't worry, you are the most idle during the New Year, and you must be the first to gain weight!"
"You..."
Although she was angry, she was telling the truth, and she was really the only one who had nothing to do during the New Year.
Fu Xiaoxiao glanced at her phone, Lan Feng sent her the next tasks, obviously, Fu Xiaoxiao was already in charge of herself in Lan Feng's eyes.
"Eat! Something to do in the afternoon. Turning off the phone, Fu Xiaoxiao urged.
"What's the matter? Didn't we just move here? ”
"You don't have to do anything to move!?"
"Oh~"
Zhou Jichu knew that he had nothing to refute, so he had to be obedient.
……
"What? Let's adapt the script ourselves! Is Sister Lan crazy!? Zhou Jichu's eyes widened, feeling that his ears were invaded by the 'virus'.
"No, she can't be crazy if you're crazy!" Fu Xiaoxiao replied calmly, and did not forget to step on it.
"But... But we..."
"But what? You've already written your own work, and I've run the crew twice, so there's nothing good about it! Fu Xiaoxiao replied.
"But we're just assistants! This is going to be adapted and broadcast~"
"You can't always be an assistant, sooner or later you have to grow into a screenwriter like Sister Lan."
Zhou Jichu looked at Fu Xiaoxiao and did not speak.
Seeing that Zhou Jichu didn't answer, Fu Xiaoxiao leaned back against her workstation and fiddled with the pen holder on the table.
"Sister Lan and the others are not in the screenwriters, and the rest are all assistants, it's just that they came earlier than us. Now that everyone is working on their own works, do you know what that means?! ”
"What does that mean?" Zhou Jichu looked curious.
"It means that this is a competition for assistants, and you don't have to run the business, you can only look at the quality of the work!" Fu Xiaoxiao explained.
"Can you do this?!"
"The level of the assistant is also the level of the editor-in-chief, if we lose face, it means that Sister Lan will be slapped in the face, do you want to do this?" Fu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows.
"Of course not!" Zhou Jichu said affirmatively.
"Then please do your best to create a good script, that's the only thing we can do right now!"
"Hmm!" Zhou Jichu nodded.
"Let's start with the outline, finalize the outline and theme in the next two days, and then the details will be the same as before, let's divide the work."
Fu Xiaoxiao followed Zhou Jichu's words and finished her work in one breath by the way, so as not to ask Zhou Jichu again.
After Fu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he left, Zhou Jichu looked at the computer, glad that he sorted out the materials of the past year during the New Year, but he didn't know if it was outdated.
Zhou Jichu had a synopsis of the story in his mind, and before he knew it, it was time to get off work. Very tacitly, Zhou Jichu and Fu Xiaoxiao flowed down together.
"In previous years, studios were all for traffic, and the scripts written were all idol routes, will there be any changes this year?" Zhou Jichu asked.
"I think this gust of wind hasn't blown yet, many traffic niches have just debuted, and they haven't matured enough to take the powerful route, so in terms of subject matter, they still have to take the route that the audience likes to see." Fu Xiaoxiao analyzed.
"Or is it a love theme?" Zhou Jichu scratched his head.
"That's right! But it must not be the setting of 'Cinderella and the Prince', because it was popular last year, and the audience will definitely not want to watch it this year. ”
"Then do you want to take the 'strong woman' route, and the heroine is powerful?" Zhou Jichu said excitedly.
"No, film and television companies still prefer boys, so they still have to be dominated by boys." Fu Xiaoxiao shook her head.
"But with a powerful actress with a new male actor, the effect will be better~"
"But if the female protagonist mainly overshadows the male lead, it is definitely not what the film and television company wants." Fu Xiaoxiao said affirmatively.
"That's... Oh well, listen to you. ”
After Zhou Jichu finished speaking, he looked at the outline that had not been finished on the computer, and silently built a new page.
