"Each screenwriter has to write an average of eight scripts before one can be approved..."

"Times are different from before, I heard from the old seniors that in the past, producers came directly to the school with money to find them..."

"At that time, there were few screenwriters who knew how to do it, and I heard that some projects had started filming, and the script had not yet been completed..."

Senior Brother Zhang chatted with people about interesting things in the circle, mainly about screenwriters...

By the way, let's say that the Chinese opera at this stage as a whole is not as good as those who engage in literary films...

Nowadays, commercial film and television dramas have just started, and you can make money by engaging in business, this thing is particularly cool, if you write a TV series, you can surpass Qiong Yao's play, that is the real cow.

It's true, the elites of several major art academies, including Chinese opera, are doing commercial narratives or this kind of discussion.

Yes, the Department of Chinese Opera and Literature is a classical art education...

But it is classical art education, so everyone doesn't respect the whole underground movie, literary film or something, and where to get an award.

It's a common thing...

Summarize the four elements: ethnic minorities, religion, system and poor Chinese, but if a story brings three of these four elements, the probability of winning the prize is very high!

Everyone has long looked down on this genre.

Unless it's the kind of "The Devil is Coming"!

The mainstream media is mainly encouraging commercial films...

Shen Xudong stayed quietly, mainly listening.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, the show ended, and a group of people went back to school.

It's almost time to get to the dormitory, Shen Xudong couldn't help it, and asked Liao Gaoxiang: "Second brother, is "Purple Butterfly" yellow?" ”

Liao Gaoxiang nodded: "It's yellow!" ”

"Don't be sad," he continued: "This kind of thing is normal, the TV drama market is very hot now, and many laymen want to come in and get a piece of the pie, how can this industry be so easy to mix... Do you think for yourself, so many people in TV stations can go to the sea to start a business, why do you compete with others? ”

"People from the TV station go to the sea?"

"That's right, they know the film buying department, and they organize their own TV series... Separation of production and broadcasting! ”

"So, most of today's TV shooting companies know people?"

"Nonsense, I don't know anyone, who buys your drama?"

Shen Xudong was silent...

……

Simply being a screenwriter may not really work...

The memory in his mind told him: in the future, screenwriters are at the bottom of the food chain of the entire industry!

The producer can change the script, the director can change the script, and even the actors...

Even well-known screenwriters are rarely taken seriously...

Unless you transform into a producer or director, you can form your own game!

suggested to him: If you like to write, you should devote yourself to becoming a writer and write something to win an award.

Or you can steadily output some best-selling books that are suitable for adaptation as your personal business card.

If you still want to be a screenwriter, then wait for your novel to be bought by a film and television company, you can ask to participate in the screenwriting work, as long as you don't mention the money, they are happy to plan multiple times, and they are still the original author.

Shen Xudong was distressed...

The key is that he doesn't know who to talk to about these things!

Fortunately, college life quickly diluted these...

There are a lot of courses in the Department of Drama and Literature, especially in the first semester, and there are dozens of compulsory subjects!

Drama Theory and Social Sciences, Foreign Literature and Drama, Modern and Contemporary Chinese Literature and Drama, Modern and Contemporary Novels, Prose and Poetry, Chinese Classical Literature and Drama, Film Art...

These are just outlines, and there are at least a dozen books to memorize in each subject, for example, there are a total of 23 books on film art, and five historical theories should be studied in the freshman year: including "Introduction to Western Film History", "Film Aesthetics", "Film Theory", "The Nature of Film" and "The History of Chinese Film Development"...

It's a lot of time, not to mention the four books of classical Chinese literature and drama, all of which are scripts in classical Chinese - "Zhang Xie Zhuangyuan", "Dou E's Injustice", "Zhao's Orphan" and "Hanqiu Palace"...

I'm so busy that I don't have time to think about something so far-reaching...

And the freshman and sophomore years themselves are the time to lay the foundation.

Shen Xudong is in line with the idea that he has come here, and he is very serious about studying, and he has no time to think about the future or something...

I often go out to eat with a few people in the dormitory, and I know a lot of people...

are basically the seniors of the drama department.

Occasionally, he'll interject a few words, say, right now, when a group of people are talking about "Meteor Garden"...

"Meteor Garden" was actually a drama broadcast in Taiwan last year, but the mainland director only introduced it at the beginning of the year, and then quickly detonated a boom...

"Meteor Garden" can be popular all over Asia, and I think this kind of thing will never go out of style!"

"The story of Cinderella is never outdated, every girl has a dream, and Meteor Garden concretizes this dream..."

"Taiwan calls this an idol drama!"

"Idol drama? It's quite suitable... Handsome men and beautiful women fall in love... The man's family is rich, the woman's heart is kind-hearted, good-looking, and the important thing is that the family is poor... The impact of this sense of class gap can be strong enough! ”

"But this setup is inseparable from the campus... Because high school students can be very naïve, once they are out of society, they have to think about a lot of things! ”

Shen Xudong suddenly blessed his soul and said: "I think it can be a little more extreme, for example, the male protagonist is a gangster young master, and the heroine is a good girl... The two fell in love at school, and later the woman followed the man to join the gang..."

The senior smiled: "This... Gangsters may not be able to show it..."

Shen Xudong immediately said: "Then change the type, for example, the male protagonist was originally very domineering and selfish, and in order to achieve the goal, he did whatever it took to achieve his goal, and he suddenly lost his memory and met the heroine..."

"This... It's kind of interesting! The senior nodded: "Your name is Shen Xudong, right?" ”

"Yes!"

"I heard that Fan Xiaotian is thinking about doing an idol drama, you write a script outline for me, and I will recommend it for you..."

Fan Xiaotian is a very powerful producer, with a lot of representative works, "Tai Chi Grandmaster", "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", "Martial Arts History"...

Of course, after the Internet entered the game, with the rise of IP, these producers are all outdated.

However, Shen Xudong didn't know this, and was about to agree, when Zhao Linhai next to him interjected: "Senior, we are only freshmen, and there are many courses, I'm afraid we don't have time to write an original script..."

“… That's right. ”

The senior expressed his understanding...

As he was talking, Zhao Xin walked over: "The three brothers are here, let's go back, the teacher is looking for..."

"Ahh Hurry up! ”

Shen Xudong picked up the cup and drank the drink in one gulp, and then followed Zhao Linhai out...

By the way, he didn't want to say it directly...

Actually, it's the teacher's teaching!

The teacher said that creativity is such a thing as sharing – don't worry about people copying your ideas. Keep in mind that China is big and there are a lot of smart people, and when you come up with a brilliant idea, remember that at least 20 people in China have come up with a similar idea at the same time.

Teacher's words!

And this kind of small talk is to propose their own ideas to each other, and then ponder the feasibility...

As for why Zhao Linhai stopped Shen Xudong, because this matter is not reliable at all - you recommend it?

Who are you?

Why does Fan Xiaotian give you face?

……

I didn't look at the teacher at all, but there was another project to find the door, this time it's not a crime theme, but a "Divorce Lawsuit", which tells ten seemingly plain, but long-lasting divorce cases, revealing the survival experience faced by contemporary marriage in China...

This project was approached by Zhao Xin...

A few people saw this title and were a little confused...

It's really confusing!

Zhao Linhai said directly: "We don't understand marriage!" ”

“… What don't you understand, the reason for divorce is nothing more than a third party, money or the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law... We're picking up a third party, and the plot points are listed for you... You just stuff the plot and lines into it! ”

Zhao Xin then added: "This book can be guaranteed to shoot!" ”

"How?"

"This is a customized drama from the TV station that my uncle and their company received!"
