Chapter 214: 'All-rounder'

'A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier. ’

This famous quote of Napoleon is simply the best golden sentence in the world.

Of course, only for PUA.

For example, the main creators in the circle used this sentence of self-mockery, 'A director who doesn't want to be a screenwriter is not a good actor'. To put it simply, if you want to be the 'good' word of a good actor, then you have to be an all-rounder.

Take actors as an example, in today's entertainment industry, whether it is a drama or an idol drama, you can write plays for yourself, direct yourself, and finally act by yourself, you are a real 'good' actor.

is like Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen in "Hurricane", the editor and director, what work did they not do?

The three people present obviously did not have Li Suan's insight into the world, but the boss asked questions and still gave his own opinions.

Jia Xiuquan said that this sentence proves the 'dominant system' of the writer and director in the crew; Chen Xiaoyu said that this sentence illustrates the 'power ordering' of film and television works in the production process; Xia Shasha should be more straightforward, saying that she is both a screenwriter and a director, and she is a good actor?

When Xia Shasha said this answer, she herself was a little unsure, Chen Xiaoyu and Jia Xiuquan in the opposite seat seemed to be ridiculing, but Li Suan gave affirmation.

"The closest you say."

Jia Xiuquan and Chen Xiaoyu were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xia Shasha, only to see that the little girl who graduated from the middle school was different, not to mention exquisite makeup, and dressed fashionably, looking at the boss with the purity unique to a little girl, and there was also a hint of worship.

The two looked at Li Suan again, and glanced at each other very tacitly, and they both saw the sophistication of human feelings in each other's eyes.

Li Suan turned around and wrote the word 'life' on the whiteboard.

He turned around, ignored Jia Xiuquan and Chen Xiaoyu's meaningful gazes, and continued to ask questions.

"Which of you is the rich second generation?"

No one spoke.

"Have any of you ever played a scripted 'kissing game' between students?"

The crowd remained silent, but Shasha raised her hand.

"Normally, the 'icebreaker game' is not so exaggerated, and when I saw it, it was weird," she said. ”

Li Suan looked at her and said.

"There is no life of the rich second generation, but you can evaluate a drama about the rich second generation and successful people, who gave you the right."

Li was angry, this is what everyone heard, everyone held their breath and was about to be scolded, but they heard Li Shu say to Xia Shasha: "You are waiting here." ”

He said to Jia Xiuquan and Chen Xiaoyu again: "You two, come out with me." ”

Li Shu took Jia Xiuquan and Chen Xiaoyu out, and Xia Shasha was still stunned, not knowing what the consequences of her honesty would be.

Li Suan and Jia Xiuquan exchanged WeChat with Chen Xiaoyu, and then one of them approved 10,000 yuan, telling them that they would use this 10,000 yuan to give full play to the creativity of the screenwriter and experience the life with an annual salary of one million. Then he brought the two to Zeng Jia and asked the two to go directly to the magic capital and enter the crew of "Micro Times".

The screenwriter joining the group only means one thing, changing the script. So Zeng Jia said as a matter of course: "When will you meet the director?" ”

Li Suan shook his head, said that he didn't see it, and pointed at Chen Xiaoyu and Jia Xiuquan: "Assign each of them to an actor, don't do anything else, just explain the current script to the actors." ”

Chen Xiaoyu and Jia Xiu were all stunned, and Li Suan turned around to face them.

"The job you have to do is the equivalent of an assistant director, which is to help the actors prepare for the performance. Don't worry, you're still screenwriters, and if you do a good job, I'll sign you. ”

After explaining, Chen Xiaoyu and Jia Xiuquan glanced at each other, although they didn't know what the meaning of this order was, but they still agreed after taking the money, and then said goodbye to Zeng Jia, and then went out directly.

The screenwriter followed the actors into the group...... Zeng Jia has seen this routine in "Beauty Scheming", but it was the private screenwriter of actor Ruby Lin, who was specially used to change the play for herself.

She asked Li Shu curiously: "What do you want to do here?" ”

As long as you know what you have good intentions, you must not tell Zeng Jia that if Li Shu wants to cultivate a screenwriter team that can fight tough battles, he will definitely spend more money.

Now that the 100 million KPI in the first year has not been completed, some things are better to keep a low profile. So Li Suan picked a particularly big concept and said.

"Strengthen the spiritual civilization construction of China's literary and artistic practitioners, and enhance the spiritual civilization education of China's literary and artistic practitioners."

Zeng Jia had a question mark on his face.

Li Suan is good at seducing: "Who is the idol drama for?" ”

"Young man."

"It's enough to show young people what you want to see, and you can't use kissing games as 'film and television spectacles' for young audiences, right?"

There is a scene in "Micro Times", where several students who have just met go out to a party, and on the grounds of breaking the ice, conduct a random selection, and then kiss in public.

Except for A-movies, who can make idol dramas like this?

Who knows that Zeng Jia looks like an old god is there: "You don't know, now I just have to give the audience something new, and besides, there are no older audiences in our play at all, they are all young people, it's nothing to open a little." ”

It seems that Zeng Jia is still very satisfied with the setting of this script.

Li Shu sneered twice, noncommittal, maybe this kind of play is more in line with the three views of capitalists.

He could only say: "I set two rules, first, in the future, everyone in the company's screenwriting department will join the group, and they don't even know how the crew shoots and how the actors perform, how can they write plays?"

Second, in the future, all the filmings of the company's artists must be seen by me. ”

Zeng Jia asked as if he had a lot of mouths: "Everyone? ”

"Everyone!"

Li Shu turned around and went out, Zeng Jia looked at his back, skeptical of this 'everyone'.

There are only two schools of teaching in the screenwriting industry, the first is the academic school, which is a subject like Chen Xiaoyu, after entering the school, do nothing else, first familiarize yourself with some proper nouns, what motivating events, soul night, three-act structure, etc...... I don't talk about life, and after graduation, I only 'browse' life on the computer, and I talk about reasoning one by one, and I am like a chicken and a dog in actual combat.

The second is that Jia Xiuquan was born in a wild way, and his life experience may be slightly stronger, but in the final analysis, he is still from a bad background, not that Li Shu pays attention to academic qualifications, it is that he lacks the literati of the academic school, and many things have not been systematically trained, not to mention, and most of the plots written are with a depressed atmosphere.

Now, Li Suan's arrangement is also from later generations, the scientific name is the actual combat school, and the nicknames are varied, don't talk about anything else when entering the industry, first pull the crew to experience, in a strange environment, facing an unfamiliar job, in order to see who is the mess and who is the real gold.

In fact, the most important thing is that Jia Xiuquan and Chen Xiaoyu are old, have certain work experience, and have a relatively stable three views...... This is not as good as Xia Shasha, who has just graduated, is young and beautiful, good PUA, and has a lot of momentum, wanting to prove himself in this wonderful world.

Leaving Zeng Jia's office, Li Suan saw Reba in the conference room at a glance, she was holding a printed character biography, standing straight at the door, under her leadership, even Xia Shasha didn't dare to sit down, and then stood in the corner of the conference room, not knowing what to do next.

Li Suan entered the conference room, faced Xia Shasha, greeted the other party to sit down amiably, and then said to her seriously: "Do a good job, I am optimistic about you." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Li Suan sat there and chatted with Xia Shasha, first asked what your parents did, and then asked Xia Shasha's school experience, as well as the three things that had the greatest impact on her in her life, the two of them talked about things that had nothing to do with work, and Li Suan grasped the rhythm, and a few comments from time to time were either thought-provoking, or made Xia Shasha smile shyly.

Reba was not left aside, just a low-wattage light bulb, and soon, hearing Li Suan greet him, Reba stepped over and handed over the biography of the character he had worked hard all night with both hands, which was more than 6,000 words, and he stayed up all night to write.

Li Suan glanced at the page number, then looked at the No. 4 Song character that Reba chose, and then looked at Reba's slightly tired face, as for the content of those words, he didn't read them at all.

"Didn't sleep yesterday?"

"Well, I stayed up late to tidy it up."

"Then take it back."

Hearing this, Reba raised his head, and the surprise and grievance in his eyes couldn't be suppressed.

She opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

Li Suan looked at her face: "I want to ask why I don't watch it?" ”

Reba slowed down and nodded.

Li Shu leaned back in his seat: "I just finished a meeting with you last night, and it's not even afternoon, you haven't even slept, and the things that are sorted out will only be old, old, can I guess whether you believe it or not?" ”

Reba's eyes widened, as if to say, 'How is that possible?' ’

Li Suan didn't say the details, only the context, and he pointed to Reba's manuscript.

"I probably went through the entire script last night, thirty episodes. Do you think that your character Wu Amber was exposed to the identity of an illegitimate daughter, and fighting with the big people is the darkest moment, and being recognized by his father is the highlight. You may have designed some interesting scenes in private, but you still didn't pay attention. ”

Another thing that Reba couldn't believe was that Li Suanquan was right, and the highlights and darkest words were exactly the same, which was the part he asked for by name yesterday.

Li is the script she read yesterday, she saw this with her own eyes, thirty episodes of scripts, hundreds of thousands of words.

Li Suan continued: "You never thought about it, an illegitimate daughter, because of her background, led to a tsundere character, such a person was recognized by his father, how could it be the highlight of life?" Did she want to ask her father why I existed? Why was it born? Why don't you get rid of your original partner like other men and be with my biological mother?

Don't worry, you're illegitimate and with your status, there's nothing wrong with asking these questions.

You didn't write who Amber Wu's biological mother was, did you? What is the influence of such a mother on her? was exposed to the identity of an illegitimate daughter, and as an illegitimate daughter was not accepted by the mainstream circle, what should Wu Amber's reaction be? She must have been rejected for as long as she can remember, right? Why did you choose to fight with others on that occasion?

You can use all of a person's strengths, including weaknesses, to create a screen image full of contradictions, and a lamentable, respectable, cute and pitiful character growth history, why can't you use your brain to think about it?

You can add appropriate details to the existing setting of the script, use the performance to enrich your characters, and bring multiple emotional experiences to the audience, creating an emotional spectacle...... Am I asking too much of you? ”

"It's not." Reba instinctively replied that she was born in a professional class, at least let her know what was right.

"Then this biography, do you still want me to read it?" Li Suan asked.

"I don't need Mr. Li, I know what to do. Please give me some more time and I'll think about it when I get back. ”

"Go ahead."

Reba took his character biography and left, Xia Shasha watched her back disappear, and said a word for Reba.

"Teacher Li Shu, Reba her, she hasn't graduated yet."

Li Suan suddenly realized: "I forgot, I haven't arranged your work yet." ”

Xia Shasha was shaken: "My job is ......"

"You follow her and finish this biography with her, two days...... No, four days, four days at most, you're going to give me something I can look at, is there a problem. ”

It's over, and I got a big job for myself in one sentence.

Xia Shasha was a little confused, but she still said, "Okay, Mr. Li, I'll look for him when I go to work tomorrow." ”

Li Shu smiled, he didn't smile, he didn't speak, but he showed the unscrupulousness and cold-bloodedness of a capitalist.

Xia Shasha said very understandingly: "I'll go to her today." ”

Li Shuxinshan suggested: "You'd better stay together at night, my requirements are quite high, and if you give me anything at random, you will not only be scolded, but also prepare to leave." ”

Seeing that Li Suan's expression was not a lie, Xia Shasha got up and cautiously apologized to Li Suan.

In the corner outside the conference room, Zeng Jia looked at this scene in wonder, she knew Li Shu too well, and knew that this kid must have something to hide from herself.

But what does it matter?

Tomorrow, Li Suan will sign a long-term contract with Sina.

……

The next morning, Li Suan and representatives of Sina's editorial department, under the watchful eyes of a small number of people, signed a groundbreaking contract.

The contract stipulates that Li Suan's creation will be updated synchronously on Sina Weibo in the form of chapters, and the contract also involves terms such as publicity and momentum, such as Li Suan will be interviewed by Sina Weibo next week.

In addition, Sina is also responsible for some of Li Suan's economic matters, mainly related to the promotion of new books and the channel's campaign.

Sina has always been looking forward to entering this magical field, and the investment is so large that it is very rare among Internet companies in recent years, and at this time, Sina only has the right of first refusal to buy Li Suan's copyright, and it is not like later, "You write with me, the copyright is mine." ’

Sanlitun at the same time.

Reba and Xia Shasha are both standard 'fashionable' dresses, if you don't look at the slightly cheap makeup, the two of them just look at the clothes, there is still a bit of ...... Less serious taste.

Don't get me wrong, it's not exposed, it's college students and college graduates in these years, and there is always a bit of dust in it. (Note 1)

Reba looked at the high-end place in front of him, took a deep breath, and was about to break in.

Xia Shasha stopped the other party in time: "Wait, no problem, right?" ”

"It must be fine, trust me!"

After Reba finished speaking, he pulled Xia Shasha into a membership-only tea restaurant.
