Chapter 158: "Literary Consultant" is not something you can be if you want to be!
Regarding the meaning of Liu Lao's words, He Yun understands himself, isn't it just the name of a screenwriter, but he is doing the work of a consultant, it is very understandable!
And what does consultant mean?
Actually, it means consulting!
In his opinion, the name of the literary consultant does sound good, but it should not have much real power.
In other words, although He Yun is also one of the screenwriters, he actually does not really participate in the work of writing scripts, which is like many big IP film and television works in later generations, although the original author is listed in the screenwriter column, but how many original authors really participated in the specific creation of the script.
Most of them are just names, and they are just so-called consultants, and they don't have much power to finalize the degree of adaptation of the plot.
And this is one of the fundamental reasons why many big IPs hit the streets.
Of course, all of this is far away, but let's go back to the moment.
He Yun nodded, and then shook his head, he said to Liu Lao: "Liu Lao, I don't think it's better to be like this, you still let me hang up a fictitious position like a literary consultant, I really can't afford the identity of a screenwriter." ”
"It's not proper, it's not proper, literary consultant, it's not like anyone wants to be famous, you're still young, and you can't afford the identity of a screenwriter or a literary consultant."
Speaking of this, Liu Lao immediately shook his head, and then, he explained the reason for this to He Yun.
After listening to Liu Lao's explanation, He Yun understood what the literary consultant was doing.
It turns out that not everyone can be the literary consultant in a film and television work, but you need to have a certain literary literacy or have deep professional research in a certain field to be able to serve.
For example, the literary consultant in "The Legend of the Seven Heroes of the Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit" and "Chef Xiaofugui" is the famous writer Yu Hua.
Although Mr. Yu Hua later said in an interview that he was only a name for a friend and did not participate in any substantive work, from this point of view, it is enough to show that this position is not something that anyone can fill if they want to.
You say that He Yun is just a "rookie writer" now, how does he qualify to serve as a "literary consultant"?
Of course, then again, He Yun, the author of the original work, is naturally capable of the job of consultant, but it is not okay to hang his name in the "literary consultant" column in the movie.
Therefore, Liu Lao let He Yun's name appear in the screenwriter column, but he did the work of a "consultant".
It can be said that Liu Lao's arrangement is indeed very suitable, which not only gives He Yun the opportunity to "show his face" in the movie, but also does not make him, a rookie writer, a "target of public criticism", which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
What's more, He Yun's pen name "Man Jianghong" will also appear in the movie.
As for where exactly? I believe everyone should understand that as long as there is an original film and television work, it will generally be noted in the opening scene: "Adapted from the same name of so-and-so." ”
"That'...... Okay, Liu Lao, I promise you to become a screenwriter of this movie, however, I will not participate in the specific creation of the script, but if you have any questions, I will do my best to cooperate, and I also hope that you can hang my name at the end of the screenwriter column, do you think this is okay? He Yun hesitated, looked at Liu Lao, and nodded.
Seriously, although He Yun very much hopes that his name can appear in the screenwriter column, but he has self-knowledge, his own ability, he knows very well that if he wants to write an excellent film, he doesn't have much problem asking himself, but let him be the screenwriter of the movie script, he really has no confidence at all.
At least for now, he is not sure at all.
"Okay, since you said so, I will think about it, and at the film preparation meeting in the near future, I will also put forward your suggestions to the leaders of the factory." When Liu Lao heard He Yun say this, he agreed with his mouth.
Next, Liu Lao introduced some other information about this movie to him, of course, many things, Liu Lao would not reveal to He Yun, He Yun naturally knew this, so he consciously did not ask.
"Huh...... Before you know it's half past twelve, Xiaohe, let's go to our film studio canteen at noon, if you still need anything, you can also ask me, I can help, try to help you. ”
"No need, thank you Liu Lao, I don't need your help yet, by the way, Liu Lao, I still have a question, what if...... I served as a consultant for the film...... As a screenwriter, do I have to stay in Kyoto for the time being? ”
"Well...... Let's talk while walking, let's go to dinner first, and when we eat, I'll talk to you about this in detail, for this problem, in fact, I have already thought about it for you. Liu Lao said a word, then got up and led He Yun to the outside of the office.
Seeing this, He Yun also followed.
…………
Film studios, canteens.
After Chen Hui gave He Yun and Liu Lao a meal, he went to cook for himself again.
At this time, Liu Lao looked at He Yun with an anxious face, smiled slightly and said: "Xiaohe, don't worry, I have a certain understanding of your situation before, you need to go to school, you can't stay in Kyoto for a long time, this point, I have already thought about it for you, if there is a very urgent problem, I will send a telegram to you, if it is a general issue that needs to be negotiated, I will write to you, but if you need to come to Kyoto, I will reflect this matter to the relevant leaders, and help you arrange it as much as possible, now you should be at ease!" ”
After listening to Liu Lao's words, He Yun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he pondered it for a while, and felt that this was indeed the most reasonable arrangement, so he nodded at Liu Lao and said, "Liu Lao, then thank you!" ”
"It's okay, come on! Try Kyoto food, eh...... I forgot, you are from Hunan Province, Hunan Province people love spicy food, you may not be used to eating this dish, I asked Chen Hui to help you get some chili peppers......"
"Liu Lao, don't bother, this dish is very good, I'm used to eating, I'm used to eating!" He Yun smiled and hurriedly waved his hand and said.
…………
After lunch, He Yun chatted with Liu Lao again for more than an hour, and then he was arranged to live in a nearby guest house.
A little later, Liu Lao asked someone to send him a return train ticket at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and it was from Kyoto to the provincial capital of Hunan Province.
After all, it is not easy to buy a train ticket these days, and this can be regarded as "reimbursement", so he is naturally very satisfied.
PS: The three chapters will be sent together in the evening, and it may be written until more than eleven o'clock, thank you for your support.
