Ortho Media. Faculty of Letters.

Xiao Pinqing is a screenwriter in the Literature Department, and is responsible for reviewing a large number of manuscripts every day.

There are three main sources of these manuscripts: one is the internal polishing of the Literature Department, according to the market situation, the top gives a story theme, and the screenwriter below creates according to the story core. The second is sent by some long-term cooperative screenwriters, of course, these screenwriters have been famous for a long time, the number is not much, and the delay is serious, but the quality is extremely impressive. It is also the company's key target. The third channel is sent by some literature lovers through the company's submission mailbox, which receives a large number of manuscripts, but most of them are waste manuscripts and are difficult to use.

Xiao Pinqing habitually opened the company's mailbox, looked at the latest email that was several pages long, rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, took a big sip of steaming coffee, and once again devoted himself to this heavy work.

There is really no way to use the script, Xiao Pinqing directly pasted the copied official reply, and then clicked send.

If the manuscript needs to be revised, he will write the revision comments later, and wait for the other party to send a new manuscript again.

If it is a manuscript with outstanding ideas, characters and stories, Xiao Pinqing will be cautious, and a group discussion will be held within the Literature Department, and if it is agreed that the script is worth shooting, the Copyright Department will contact the author to negotiate and purchase the copyright.

Although I had been mentally prepared for a long time, most of the drafts were still terrible, and a copied official reply came.

"Mr. Captain", seeing this name, Xiao Pinqing couldn't help but feel a sense of brightness.

A successful script should first have a bright name.

If you take a random name like "Wildflower", "Hard to Say", "Stream", it is difficult to catch the eye of readers and viewers. In this way, even if your content is good, it will be difficult to gain market recognition in the early stage.

Of course, if your content is so good that it's against the sky, that's a different story. For example, "Mulholland Drive", the first time you see the name of the movie, do you know what it means? What do you want to say?

"The Godfather", "Iron Man", "Spider-Man", these names can make people know its theme and story content at a glance.

Obviously,This is a book written by the captain.,It's a popular theme on the market.。

Xiao Pinqing clicked on the document with some excitement, and then began to read it.

As soon as you go down, you can't pull it out again.

When it was lunch time at noon, Xiao Pinqing refused his colleague's invitation to lunch, and placed an order for duck blood vermicelli soup on his mobile phone to satisfy his hunger.

After a few simple bites of lunch, Xiao Pinqing once again put his mind back on the script of "Mr. Captain".

This look was another afternoon, and I didn't notice it until the company got off work.

Fortunately, the company has a culture of overtime, especially in their literature department, and it is common to work overtime to catch up with manuscripts.

Xiao Pinqing posted a message in the group discussion group, asking everyone in the group to come to the conference room for a meeting.

At the same time, Xiao Pinqing sent the script of "Mr. Captain" to the group to give everyone some time to understand the script.

"Hoo ......"

Xiao Pinqing let out a long sigh, thinking to himself, I finally saw a good book. If the literature group passes the review, it will be your own work performance.

--------

In the conference room, after all seven members of the group arrived, Xiao Pinqing announced the start of the meeting.

"Have you all read the book "Mr. Captain" that I sent to the group group?" Xiao Pinqing asked with a smile.

"I've seen it." The first to answer was the eldest sister Sun Li, who took the printed script in her hand and said loudly: "The writing is immature, but the writing method is very novel, and the story line and emotional line are very good." ”

"I don't think the content of the story is enough, and the story is too simple, which is difficult to support the demand for dozens of TV episodes."

"Writing a captain's story, as long as it's not too bad, I think we can use it. The amount of stories is small, so let's fill in it. ”

-------

When everyone finished speaking, Xiao Pinqing was relieved, he knew that this book should be able to be approved.

"There are three main reasons why I promote "Mr. Captain". First, choose the topic. As Mr. Cai said, as long as it is to write the story of the captain, we can use it. After all, there are too many film and television dramas that are popular in this field. Whether it is Hollywood's "Fighting Spirit" or our "Soaring into the Clouds", it has a good performance. A group of handsome guys and beauties put on captain's uniforms and flight attendant suits, and when they walked out, it was a beautiful landscape. It's easy to get fans of our artists. ”

"Second, stories and emotions. As Mr. Sun just said, it can be seen that the author's writing is a little immature, and many places are not mellow and mature enough. However, this is its highlight rather than its disadvantage. Because it was not influenced by the mainstream routines in the market, he wrote fresh plots out. ”

"Third, the sense of substitution. We are all screenwriters, and we all know that the character settings of most dramas on the market are very bad. There isn't enough story and emotion to sustain this character and bring him alive before our eyes. Either tall and full, or silly and sweet. The characters in this have strengths and of course flaws. For example, the heroine is both kind and philistine. However, she is changing little by little, and getting better little by little. Some people think that after being excellent, those shortcomings are gone. "Mr. Captain" is not handled like this, the heroine has become better, but the desire is also stronger. However, it was not negative, but a strong sense of initiative. She was able to help herself and the male lead become more mature. She's been chasing a comfort zone, and then she's leaving it without mercy. It's a lot of anticipation. ”

Xiao Pinqing looked around at everyone and said, "So, my suggestion is to purchase the copyright of "Mr. Captain". What do you think? ”

"Agreed."

"Can be purchased."

"I think it's good, too."

--------

Unanimously passed.

----------

In order to write an advantage analysis report for the script of "Mr. Captain", so that it could be submitted to the copyright department for copyright procurement, Xiao Pinqing worked overtime until 5 o'clock in the morning that night.

The next day, as soon as he arrived at the company with the head of the chicken nest, Kongxi's agent Wang Shao rushed over.

Wang Shao was originally an old employee of the company, and with such a trump card as Kong Xi in his hand, he was naturally respected and welcomed by everyone when he arrived in the Literature Department.

"Sister Shao, why are you free to come to our copyright department today?"

"Sister Shao, is there any copyright that you like? You say, which one do you want, which one we will give ......"

"Sister Shao, what kind of book does Sister Xi want? We're all driven crazy by the above. It was said above that Sister Xi was reluctant to take on the play, because the book we found was not good, and the work of our literature department was not done well. ”

--------

Wang Shao greeted everyone one by one with a smile, stood in the middle of the crowd and said, "I came this time for Kong Xi's new drama script." ”

"Huh?"

The crowd exclaimed.

"Sister Xi finally has a favorite book? Thank goodness God opened his eyes......"

"Which book can be liked by our Sister Xi? Is it the "Genius Doctor" that I sent yesterday? ”

"Well, now the Faculty of Letters can finally catch its breath......

------

Wang Shao's gaze shifted to Xiao Pinqing's body, and said with a smile: "Pinqing, I heard that you found a book called "Mr. Captain"? ”

"That's right." Xiao Pinqing's spirit was shocked. said: "Sister Shao, do we want to shoot this?" ”

Wang Shao nodded and said, "Kong Xi is very interested in the genre of captain, and she has always wanted to play a female captain...... I also think this role is quite good, if you can play it well, and the role is likable enough, the female captain in a handsome captain's uniform is very popular. Whether it is a male or female fan, they should like this Kong Xi. ”

"Yes, yes, I think so too." Xiao Pinqing nodded like a chicken, this is the so-called hero's vision. said: "I'll send the script to Sister Shao now, and Sister Shao will send it to Sister Xi to read." I believe that if this role is played by Sister Xi, it will be very brilliant. ”

Although the script was excavated by Xiao Pinqing, if Kong Xi, the company's top artist, played the heroine, it must be more influential, with better results, and it is easier to become a hit. If it is played by those second-tier, third-tier or eighteenth-tier newcomers in the company, even if there is a good book, it may not be able to create such a big influence.

A script can make an artist, and an artist can also make a good script. For example, "Farewell My Concubine".

"Send it over." Wang Shao said. "I'm going to talk to Kong Xi about this book."

"But Sister Shao...... This book hasn't been purchased yet.,I'm afraid it's ......"

"Out of the way. Send it to Kong Xi first. If Kong Xi likes it, you have to buy the book for me anyway. Wang Shao's tone became stern. Also, I can tell you well, if this book is taken by Kong Xi, your literature department can't give it to other artists. ”

Hearing Wang Shao's words, several people in the literature group couldn't help but tighten their hearts.

Now that the copyright is still in the hands of others, who knows if it will be able to buy it back?

Besides, even if you buy it back, the Ministry of Literature can decide which "master" or "sister" to play this book? Although Kong Xi is our first sister in Dongzheng, the other one is in the limelight, and he is deeply liked by the top executives. If she wants to rob by name, can these little people be the masters?

After Wang Shao got the script of "Mr. Captain" and turned to leave, Xiao Pinqing and many colleagues glanced at each other and said loudly: "I'm going to call the author...... Don't let him sell the book to someone else.。 ”

When he rushed to the computer and opened the email, he found that the author was extremely willful, and he didn't even leave a contact information.

Xiao Pinqing looked helpless, so he had to send an email to the author, sincerely hoping to talk to the author face-to-face.
