Chapter Twenty-Five: Digging the Foot of the Wall

For Zhao Xiaobei, screenwriting is a job, and it is also one of his own jobs that he did not focus much on in his previous life.

After coming to this world, he found that the status of screenwriters and songwriters seemed to be extraordinarily high.

In a phrase that Egret once said:

There are more people who can sing and act, but the people who can write scripts and songs will always be only a handful.

They are all talents!

Talents are rare, which is why China Entertainment Media wants to set up an independent creative branch!

Sitting in Yu Xiaoweikai's modified version of GL8, Zhao Xiaobei deeply felt the attention from Lu Yang...... No, respect to be exact!

It stands to reason that a big director like Yu Xiaowei should not pay special attention to a screenwriter just because of a role.

In particular, this screenwriter is still a junior screenwriter and is not a well-known person.

Could it be that Lu Yang saw his talent in creation from this small script?

That's why you made it in advance?

Well, it's very likely.

After thinking about this, the doubts in Zhao Xiaobei's heart were solved a lot.

In my previous life, I was used to seeing celebrities, leaders, and business predators...... This time it's just to meet a director, it's not a big deal.

The car went all the way and stopped at Villa 12 in the Pearl Villa District.

"Bian Zhao, hello, hello!"

Yu Xiaowei led Zhao Xiaobei into the villa hall, and as soon as he entered the door, a hearty voice came.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man wearing a black home coat with a slightly decadent face had already opened his hands to greet him.

That enthusiasm almost scared Zhao Xiaobei into turning his head and leaving.

This look, are you sure you are here to sign a contract, not a blind date?

"Hello, road guide."

Zhao Xiaobei suppressed the helplessness in his heart, stretched out his hand and shook it with Lu Yang, "I've admired the name for a long time!" ”

"Hey, what a big name, that's a personal name."

Lu Yang pulled Zhao Xiaobei to sit directly on the leather sofa in the living room, and a pair of eyes kept looking at him.

It feels like a hungry ghost in color, looking at a beautiful woman with the best figure and appearance!

After the initial 'fright', although he was stared at like this by a rough man, Zhao Xiaobei's mentality had calmed down.

After all, who he hadn't seen in his previous life?

Compared with the ups and downs of Zhao Xiaobei's emotional changes, Lu Yang was more satisfied in his heart, not to mention anything else, his eyes were full of appreciation.

This young man, that's good!

Not arrogant or impatient, so young, and very talented, he will become a great weapon in the future!

"Editor Zhao, can you tell me, what inspired you to create a character like Ding Xiu?"

After the eagerness passed, Lu Yang couldn't wait to get to the point.

As for politeness or something, those are secondary.

"Director Lu, I have read the script of "Embroidered Spring Knife"."

Zhao Xiaobei organized the language: "The book is very realistic, the social background is rigorous, and it has withdrawn from the generally followed logic of the rivers and lakes, creating a story full of swords and swords." ”

"The loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness in the book include the entire story line, and the characters described are all related to the court, but in my opinion, there is only one less Jianghu guest!"

"Oh?" Lu Yang became interested, "What do you say?" ”

"As the old saying goes, 'Chivalry violates the prohibition with martial arts, and Confucianism violates the law with literature'."

Zhao Xiaobei talked eloquently, "So in this book, Sister Chen seems to be deliberately downplaying the rivers and lakes, focusing on the righteousness of the family and country of the people in the court." ”

"But I think that chivalrous people also cherish their family and country, why can't there be one more chivalrous man who can represent the rivers and lakes?"

"So after several considerations and consulting information, I used 'chivalry' as the theme to portray a raunchy, somewhat chic, some prodigal, but full of gangsters!"

In fact, it is not that Zhao Xiaobei wants to create such a role, but in the script of "Embroidered Spring Knife" in his previous life, there is indeed such a role.

He's just picking up people's teeth and using them directly!

But in Lu Yang's sound, that's not the case.

Zhao Xiaobei's analysis is like opening the door to a new world for him.

You must know that in the past, those costume martial arts films were often very representative official figures, to show the country's righteousness and patriotic feelings.

Now think about it, who stipulated that only people in the court can represent the righteousness of the family and country?

Could it be that those charlatans and ordinary people have no patriotic feelings?

"Wonderful!"

Lu Yang couldn't help but clap his hands and praise, "Aren't the temple people, the rivers and lakes, and the people of the world represent a country and the people of the world?" ”

"Editor Zhao, this idea of yours is very novel, and even the form of many film and television scripts in the future will change because of this!"

"Editor Zhao, why don't you come to my studio and be my full-time screenwriter, and the profits from the filmed works will be split in half?"

Zhao Xiaobei was dumbfounded, and shouted in his heart that he was a good guy!

I just want to sign a cooperation contract with you, and you want to poach me to work for you?

Pull it down!

"Road guide, I just signed a labor contract with the company today, and the liquidated damages are 1 million, and I don't have the money to pay the liquidated damages."

Zhao Xiaobei shook his head without hesitation, "Besides, I think the current job is very good, and I have no plans to change jobs." ”

"Hey, Zhao Bian, think about it!"

Lu Yang directly took the big package, "You don't have to worry about liquidated damages, I'll pay for you, and the treatment is absolutely ......."

"Road guide, I really don't plan to change jobs."

Seeing that Lu Yang was still persuading, Zhao Xiaobei simply interrupted him: "And after this project, I estimate that I will not continue to create for two or three months......

"Huh? Why? ”

Lu Yang was anxious, "Is it difficult for you Mr. Liu to do it for you?" I'll call him now, how can you waste such a good creative talent? ”

Throwing out this sentence, Lu Yang really picked up his mobile phone and started dialing.

"No, road guide, road guide, you listen to me."

Zhao Xiaobei was dumbfounded, what is this?

Do you speculate on other people's thoughts if you don't agree with each other?

"Road guide, according to our company's regulations, each screenwriter has a project completion target every three months."

Zhao Xiaobei continued to explain: "Your project is my three-month target, and now that the project is completed, I can also take a good rest for two months." ”

"I don't want to die suddenly because of my work."

“……”

Listening to Zhao Xiaobei's tiger and wolf words, it was Lu Yang's turn to be confused.

What kind of strange character is this, who can say that touching the fish is so open-minded and fresh and refined?

Shouldn't today's young people be engaged in career and money?

How did you get to Zhao Xiaobei, it has completely become lying flat and rotten, this is not scientific!

"Road guide, road guide?"

Seeing that Lu Yang ignored himself, Zhao Xiaobei continued:

"Let's get to the point, aren't we going to sign a contract today? Can I look at the contract? ”

Contract?

Yes, yes, today is the time to sign a copyright licensing agreement.

Lu Yang came back to his senses and glanced at Yu Xiaowei, who had been standing next to him.

Yu Xiaowei hurriedly ran to the direction of the stairs, and after a long time, he walked back with two documents and placed them in front of Zhao Xiaobei.

"Zhao Bian, I have completed the contract according to our agreement."

Lu Yang clicked on the document and reminded, "Do you see if there is anything else that needs to be added?" ”

Zhao Xiaobei nodded, picked up the document and flipped through it page by page.

After a while, he raised his head: "Lu Dao, there is nothing wrong with the contract, then I will sign it?" ”

Although these words were in an inquiring tone, Zhao Xiaobei had already picked up the pen, made a few strokes on the document, and signed his name.

"Bian Zhao, there is no room for turnaround?"

Lu Yang picked up the document and said unrelentingly: "I can give you the best treatment......

"No need."

Zhao Xiaobei shook his head, stood up, and said, "Lu Dao, I still have something to do at night, so I will stay for a short time and say goodbye." ”
