Chapter 44 Creating a Character
"Wei Xiaobao has seven wives, and our male protagonist has to design at least five!"
“… The eldest lady of the Xiao family, the leader of the rebel army... Plus a little master who taught him martial arts, how can there be two more? ”
Confidante, talented and beautiful... Master-apprentice love...
If you have it, how else can you make it?
"You can set up an exotic princess!"
Zhao Xin also joined in, and it was obvious that several people in the dormitory were very optimistic about "The Best Family"...
Ideas have come up one after another.
Shen Xudong listened quietly on the side, "The Best Family", his favorite heroine is, of course... Xu Zhiqing!
A woman can say "The Battle of Bayanhot." The reputation of the king rises. Go deep into the grasslands and cut off the enemy's food. In flesh and blood. Defend against the enemy outside the borders of the country. It made the Hu people frightened. Thank you for your kindness. There is nothing to repay, there is only one thing. Please don't read: Zhiqing can die. Helan Mountain will never fall! ”
"Jun's intentions, Zhiqing knows. But the future is long. Thorns are everywhere. I hope you cherish your own body and don't make others worry about it. The concubine was dressed in full costume. Half-buried in the sand. Pray day and night, wait for your victory! ”
This is too shocking, so, I have to add a heroine taught by Kyoto Academy...
"Fourth, you name one!"
Shen Xudong said casually: "Mrs. Xiao... I think... Eat it all, absolutely innovative! ”
"Get out!"
Shen Xudong waved his hand: "I'll say it's true..."
……
"The Best Family" is a manuscript received in the name of TiMi Studio.
Ma Zhongjun opened a price code of 15,000 for a single episode, which is considered the market price.
At present, the income of domestic screenwriters is as follows: screenwriters who have worked well-known works are paid about 30,000 yuan per episode, and 50,000 yuan per episode...
Shen Xudong and they have written the prime-time work "Dragon Babu", although it has not yet been broadcast, Shen Xudong himself is a well-known writer...
Give an episode of fifteen thousand, not too much...
In addition, it must be said that the screenwriter's income at this stage is still quite good!
The salary of a first-line actor is only 350,000 yuan - among the many professions that make a living from writing, screenwriters can simply rank first, and only 10 of the 10 million writers can drive a good car, and for screenwriters, this is simply normal.
It's just that the screenwriter's income hasn't risen much later, but the actor's salary has soared hundreds of times...
Oh, and all of the above are TV series screenwriters.
Screenwriter of the film...
Anyway, Shen Xudong didn't think about making movies for the time being.
The current market environment is very bad, and they are basically losing money...
The burden of saving Chinese films, he doesn't want to resist for the time being, and he can't resist it!
In addition, in a word, the TiMi Studio project is divided into, in a word: half of the points...
It's not that it's evenly distributed, but whoever takes the project can share half of it, for example, the project "The Best Family", Shen Xudong took the script, he took half of it, and the chief screenwriter is Liao Gaoxiang, he can take the remaining 60%, and the remaining 40%, and the four of them share it equally...
Because all four are involved...
It's not fair?
It's already fair, why did people ask TiMi Studio to write the script?
What matters is Shen Xudong...
Including "The First in the World", Shen Xudong also shared half, and he took the remaining 60% as the main screenwriter...
……
In mid-June, Shen Xudong began to sign and sell books nationwide...
It's basically a weekend, and the five major cities in the country, BJ, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Changsha...
Shanghai is added by Shen Haobo, the four major book markets in the country, and there is no Shanghai's...
In fact, selling books is secondary, mainly to accept media interviews and create characters!
Oh, now call it a personal image...
In Shen Haobo's view, the writer's personal image is very important, even more important than the work itself!
Why did Han Han sell out?
The main thing is that the image of a genius writer + a rebellious teenager is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Shen Haobo's original words, "Like a Teenager Flying Away", there is no sense of fiction in the middle, and the running account is messy, lengthy, and boring... But they sold more than 800,000 copies, and they were the champions of last year's literary works! ”
Of course, it is impossible for Shen Xudong to copy Han Han's character...
Take a cue!
First of all, it is necessary to create an image of genius.
For example, when asked why he wrote "No. 1 in the World", he replied: "I wrote a column for "BJ Youth" before, commented on many martial arts characters, and received a lot of attacks, saying that I don't even have my own works and am not qualified to comment... Then I wrote "The First in the World"! ”
In order to gag other people's mouths, write casually ...
Secondly, talk about martial arts and establish a sober image:
""The First in the World" should be my only martial arts novel, and I won't write it in the future!"
"The so-called martial arts, write chivalry with martial arts. Wu Yi depicts, because Chinese culture is broad and profound, astronomy and geography, three religions and nine streams, can be integrated into the description of martial arts. From music, art, chess, poetry, medicine, cooking and other walks of life, you can write martial arts, but a chivalrous character is the most difficult to describe. ”
"When the road is uneven, he draws a knife to help, this is a little man; The turmoil in the rivers and lakes frustrates the Demon Sect, this is a Chinese hero; Quelling the war for the country and the people is a hero. The chivalrous character is written back and forth, but it is just a sentence of "forbidden by force". ”
"The basic routines have been written, or the fresh clothes and angry horses are happy in the rivers and lakes, or the bloody hatred of orphans in the tragedy, or the intrigue of the sects, or the chaos of the soldiers for the country and the people..."
"I couldn't think of anything new, so I sat together and created "The First in the World"..."
Finally, of course, it was to promote the TV series "No. 1 in the World".
"The adaptation rights have been sold, the script is in the works, and it is expected to start shooting in August... The directors are director Feng Baiyuan and director Cheng Xiaodong..."
"Yes, I'm the screenwriter..."
"Although I'm just a novice screenwriter, I'm also the author of the original book, and the producers and directors respect me..."
……
In the early days of Han Han's debut, he was a genius young writer and a rebellious image of 'the uselessness of reading', which caused an uproar...
His exposure is not weaker than that of a first-line star!
Shen Xudong... Not so rebellious, and not daring to rebel...
At most, it's a genius martial arts writer...
This one is really far off!
The sales volume of "No. 1 in the World" exceeded 500,000, which is very powerful...
But at most, it has been popular in martial arts circles for a while, and there are not many media reports...
Therefore, this wave of book signing and selling not only promotes "No. 1 in the World", but also mentions "Screening Room" and "In-depth Analysis"...
"I'm from the Department of Chinese Opera, I like movies, and I like film history, "Screening Room" is an introduction to Hong Kong films, film and television... After that, I will do some Hollywood genre film development history..."
""In-depth Analysis" is actually a pull-up film explanation, we have a film appreciation course, but what we learn are some classic works, and few are commercial genre films... But I like to watch commercial films very much, so I thought of pulling the film to explain commercial films..."
“… It's all a coincidence, "Screening Room" made three issues, we couldn't find a broadcast platform, so we delivered it to the TV station, and it happened that Mr. Liu Chun, director of the BJ Program Center of Phoenix Satellite TV, saw it and liked it very much, so I bought it out..."
"The price... It's not convenient for me to disclose, anyway, we signed for a year, and the exclusive license fee is more than two million..."
"Yes, I'm still in my freshman year, and the copywriting for each episode of the show is written by me personally..."
"I'm just planning "Deep Analysis", and the specific execution is my roommate... Zhao Linhai, Zhao Xin and Liao Gaoxiang, the three of them are also co-screenwriters of "No. 1 in the World"..."
That's enough, in fact, these are not important, just 'the exclusive license fee is more than two million' is enough!
