Chen Ziyan's question echoed in Lu Yanhe's mind for a long time.

He was also wondering why he hadn't thought about writing a script for himself?

After thinking about it, I think the reason is probably because he already knows very well in his subconscious what those movies are like, and he knows that if he writes a script for himself, he will fall into a complex entanglement.

This kind of entanglement is the entanglement of his subconscious imitation of the original work, the lack of confidence in himself, and the faint sense of shame that cannot surpass the original work.

However, Lu Yanhe could not explain these things to Chen Ziyan.

Why is he able to read the scripts of this world with a normal mind?

Because these scripts do not have a formed image in his mind, nor does he have a finished performance, he can interpret it according to his own understanding.

But the scripts he wrote himself, film and television dramas from the world before he traveled through them, are all already finished works. When Lu Yanhe wrote the script, what came to mind was the picture in the finished film.

Crying and laughing, or angry, or sad, all have references.

Lu Yanhe will subconsciously imitate.

But once the performance becomes a subconscious imitation, no matter how similar the imitation is, it loses the most critical part of the performance, the substitution and empathy from the depths of the soul.

Moreover, he will subconsciously feel that he is not as good as the original.

Without self-confidence, an actor's performance becomes extremely fragile.

After Lu Yanhe crossed so many thoughts in his mind, he couldn't help but sigh that he had only acted in a few plays, and he had told himself so many truths about the Tao.

To put it bluntly, it is better to find motives and excuses for your actions.

Lu Yanhe took a deep breath.

-

Lu Yanhe sent the revised scripts of "The Red Lantern Hangs High" and "Rouge Buckle" to Chen Bige:

Sister Bige, the first draft of the script has been written.

After this matter was done, Lu Yanhe breathed a sigh of relief.

So far, he has written three scripts, and the fourth script will be "Dumb and Dumb" prepared for Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.

The original movie starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels is a classic comedy movie.

Lu Yanhe has a principle in adapting the movies in his memory, that is, the storyline is strong enough.

There are many movies, Lu Yanhe also likes them, and they are also classics, but that is not strong in the script, if you really read the script, it may be a very boring and very simple story, or an essay without a main story, or the good of the movie is not mainly good in the script, those movies have been passed by Lu Yanhe. It's not that he doesn't like it, it's that it can't be replicated through the script. For example, Wong Kar-wai's "The Grandmaster", such as a well-known Hollywood song and dance film "Mamma Mia".

"Dumb and Dumb" was watched by Lu Yanhe and his classmates, and Lu Yanhe still remembers watching this movie when he and his classmates laughed backwards and backwards.

And this movie is also the first movie that Lu Yanhe came up with and is suitable for Li Zhibai and Yan Liang to star in.

It's just that this movie needs to be adapted by him a little, and the ages of the two protagonists should be changed to a little younger. Of course, Lu Yanhe chose it precisely because the whole plot is suitable for Li Zhibai and Yan Liang to play, as long as it can be released.

And Lu Yanhe didn't want to change the name.

The translation of Dumb and Dumber into Adumb and Agua completely follows the expression of feelings in Chinese.

Dull melon combination.

One "Dumb and Dumb", one "Squid Game", Lu Yanhe is writing these two scripts.

Hu Siwei came over at this time.

"The first draft of the script has been written." He came to Lu Yanhe and said, "This is the script." ”

Hu Siwei handed over a script to Lu Yanhe.

Eight episodes of the short series, "Under the Roof".

Lu Yanhe was stunned.

The name...... Inexplicably, it made him feel that he was not very popular.

"As for the script, if you see what you think, you can tell me." Hu Siwei said, "This is only the first draft of the first four episodes, and there should be a lot of revisions in the future." ”

Lu Yanhe nodded.

He said, "I'll take a look at it first." ”

Hu Siwei said yes.

Although the script of "Under the Roof" looks thick, the number of words is actually not very large.

It took Lu Yanhe almost an afternoon to finish reading the script.

He didn't know how to describe how he felt about this script...... It's a bit unsatisfactory.

He has watched good sitcoms such as "Friends", "The Big Bang Theory" and "I Love My Home", and knows what a good life comedy looks like.

It doesn't have to be advanced, it doesn't have to be beautiful, it just has to have a breath of life, it has to look like what happens in our lives.

But it must first be natural and have a sense of life.

And "Under the Roof" is a bit tricky from the beginning, starting with a sentence next to it: "We have learned the word friendship in class since childhood, but maybe we won't understand what friendship is until much later."

I can't say it's mysterious, it's very contrived anyway.

Lu Yanhe finished reading the script with a frown, and didn't know where to start for a while.

Obviously, when he was reading the project book at that time, he read the synopsis of the story, and he clearly felt that this story would be a very interesting story, but how could it be written into a script and be so boring?

Lu Yanhe closed the script silently and thought for a long time.

Do they want to rely on such a script to make a drama that will turn the tide for the ratings of Beijing and Taiwan?

Lu Yanhe felt incredible.

He sent a message to Hu Siwei: Producer Hu, is this a script written by your friend?

Hu Siwei: No, he asked a screenwriter to write it, what do you think?

Lu Yanhe: I don't know what to say.

Hu Siwei: It's okay, just say what you want to say, this is the first draft, it is definitely impossible to shoot according to this script, and it is normal to make a lot of revisions.

Lu Yanhe said: To be honest, if the script is like this, I don't even want to shoot it.

Hu Siwei: Is it so bad?

Lu Yanhe said: Haven't you read it?

Hu Siwei: I just flipped through it.

Lu Yanhe: Read it yourself first.

Hu Siwei: When you read the outline of the story before, didn't you think it was well written?

Lu Yanhe said: The story outline is really well written, so I was moved, and I even pushed down the male protagonist of a movie for this drama, but I can't explain this script.

Hu Siwei: The script is so bad? I'll read it carefully.

Lu Yanhe sighed.

After engaging in it for a long time, Hu Siwei didn't even read the script.

For the script of "Under the Roof", Lu Yanhe really thinks it is bad. After he finished chatting with Hu Siwei, he thought about it for a long time and tried to start writing the first episode according to the outline of the script he had read before.

In short, it's a script change.

This play tells the story of six young people who meet and become friends in a city.

It doesn't have a clear main story, it's basically about their happiness and troubles in life and work, and all kinds of jokes that happen in between.

In the outline of the script that Lu Yanhe had read before, a very clear setting was made for these six people. Six different personalities, six different professional backgrounds, intersect and collide to create a variety of stories.

Without complicated storylines and reversals, it's a comedy of life.

Lu Yanhe thought about it for a long time and decided to combine the first episodes of "Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory" to write the beginning of this story.

Because her fiancé Hu Fan's ex-girlfriend came to her dressing room on the wedding day and told her that she was pregnant with Hu Fan's child, Li Lili ran away from the wedding scene, but she happened to see her former good friend Chen Wanqiu outside a café, so she rushed in and met Chen Wanqiu and her friends.

Li Lili had nowhere to go, she was taken in by Chen Wanqiu, Jiang Kele and Wen Fan, who lived in the same apartment building, were attracted to Li Lili, who was beautiful and had a sweet smile, and wanted to pursue her and launched their own offensive.

Li Lili took out her belongings from her fiancé's house, and asked everyone to accompany her to her fiancé's house. When everyone knew that Li Lili left abruptly at the wedding scene and left a mess, they began to sympathize with her fiancé Hu Fan. Seeing that everyone began to sympathize with Hu Fan, Li Lili angrily said the reason for her escape. Hu Fan said that it was impossible because he had no relationship with his ex-girlfriend. Li Lili didn't believe it.

In order to change Li Lili's mind, Hu Fan also moved to their apartment building.

That's what the first episode was about.

For a sitcom, the first episode is a hook, but the hook can't be too complicated, the process has to be lighthearted and funny, and the ending has to make everyone want to know what's going on.

And several people suddenly converge from different places to one place, which is one of the most classic hooks, which will naturally make the audience curious about the story that happened after these people got together.

Lu Yanhe wrote the script of the first episode, read it again, revised some details, and sent it to Hu Siwei.

He said: This is the script for the first episode I have revised, produced by Hu, and this is the script I want to read.

-

Hu Siwei only finished reading the first two episodes of the script, and admitted the fact that this script is really bad.

He picked up his mobile phone and called Bai Jingnian: "Big brother, where did you find the script written by the pheasant screenwriter?" ”

He didn't speak politely at all.

Bai Jingnian asked: "Have you read the script?" ”

"After watching the first two episodes, it was so bad that I didn't want to say anything." Hu Siwei said directly.

Bai Jingnian sighed, "I'm also speechless, I spent a lot of money to find a well-known screenwriter to write it, and they handed me this kind of thing." ”

"Who?"

"He Shishi."

"He stopped writing scripts by himself for a long time, opened a screenwriting studio, and threw all the work he took to his apprentices." Hu Siwei said, "No wonder the script is so bad, didn't you say before that you had to write the script yourself?" ”

"I found that I couldn't write it, so I thought about such an outline of the story, thinking that I could write it, but it turned out to be not that piece of material at all." Bai Jingnian sighed, "You sent it to Lu Yanhe?" What did he say? ”

Hu Siwei: "I said it was rotten, do you think he will say it well?" ”

Bai Jingnian: "It's my pot, I didn't ask you before I looked for a screenwriter, I said why that old thing only charged me 50,000 yuan for an episode." ”

Hu Siwei was shocked and asked, "You have already spent 400,000?" ”

"I haven't paid him the balance yet, so I paid a deposit." Bai Jingnian said, "I'm going to call him and scold him, and I don't plan to pay the final payment." ”

Hu Siwei: "How can you do such a thing?" Did you sign a contract? ”

Bai Jingnian: "Signed, after the first four episodes, I will write the next four episodes." ”

"Then you can't write to him." Hu Siwei said, "I'll talk about him there, this broken script is embarrassed to charge 50,000 episodes." ”

Bai Jingnian: "Then what should I do?" Lu Yanhe was not satisfied with the script, and we had to find someone to rewrite it. ”

Hu Siwei thought for a while and said, "I want to see which screenwriter is more suitable." ”

Hanging up the phone, Hu Siwei sighed, but saw unread messages on his phone.

At first glance, it turned out to be a document sent by Lu Yanhe.

- This is the script for the first episode I have revised, Producer Hu, this is the script I want to read.

Hu Siwei was stunned.

Lu Yanhe had told him before that he had a script for a sitcom he wanted to write, but he didn't expect Lu Yanhe to start writing it himself so quickly.

But Hu Siwei didn't take it too seriously.

What kind of script can an actor who has just started acting write a script?

It's all about feeling good about myself after I finish writing.

Hu Siwei opened the document, and as soon as he finished reading the first few lines, he was stunned.

……

City A, Meet Cafe, is located in the bustling city center of City A.

-

Chen Wanqiu: Can you two not look at the woman by the window so squintingly, it makes me feel ashamed to sit with you.

-

Jiang Kele: Haven't you learned "My Fair Lady, Good Gentleman"? -

Wen Fan: Translated into the vernacular, we like to look at beautiful women.

-

Chen Wanqiu silently rolled her eyes at Zhou Zhixi.

-

Zhou Zhixi: That's why I keep telling you that men are very obscene.

-

Chen Wanqiu: My dear, don't put your hand on my thigh while saying that men are obscene.

-

Jiang Kele and Wen Fan turned around at the same time and swept Zhou Zhixi and Chen Wanqiu with ambiguous eyes.

-

Zhou Zhixi immediately took his hand away from Chen Wanqiu's leg, and the two of them made disgusting expressions at the same time.

-

Zhou Zhixi: If you look at us with this kind of eyes again, I will poke out your eyeballs!

……

Hu Siwei has worked in Beijing and Taiwan for many years, has been a producer and producer of many dramas, and has also worked as an assistant director and finance before.

What makes a good script?

Hu Siwei has his own judgment criteria, that is, the script that makes people want to read it.

The difference between the script and the script is that the script has no narrative, introductory, or foreshadowing description.

As soon as it comes up, it's the location, the characters, and the lines.

The beginning written by Lu Yanhe, not to mention how superb it is, of course, it is not exquisite, but several main characters are all introduced, and in just a few sentences of dialogue, the main personalities and relationships of each character are presented, as well as the changes in mood and state.

Hu Siwei's professional acumen reminded him that at least this beginning was a good start.

And when he read the end of the first episode, he was stunned again.

……

-

Li Lili picked up the garbage bag and prepared to throw out the garbage.

-

Chen Wanqiu: I think Hu Fan is very good, handsome, emotionally stable, you made a mess of your wedding, he is still very gentle with you, if he didn't lie, you should seriously consider marrying him again.

-

Li Lili said while opening the door: If he didn't lie, then it was really me who messed up our wedding, and I was embarrassed to see him.

-

After Li Lili finished speaking, she opened the door and walked to the corridor.

-

The neighbor's door was open, and two men were moving a television set inside.

-

Chen Wanqiu walked to the door and asked: Is there finally someone next door who wants to come to live? -

Hu Fan walked up from the staircase with a box in his arms, saw them, and smiled at them.

-

Li Lili asked in surprise: Why are you here? -

Hu Fan said: You don't want to believe me, I have to move over, and we will be neighbors in the future.

……

Hu Siwei put down his phone and looked at the night outside the window in a daze.

The script of the first episode written by Lu Yanhe actually made him read it in one go, smooth and natural, and there were many laughing scenes in the middle.

There was only one question left in Hu Siwei's mind: Is this really written by Lu Yanhe?

After a while, he realized another question: This was written by Lu Yanhe in a few hours just now?

From the time he handed the script to Lu Yanhe, to Lu Yanhe telling him that the script was terrible, to Lu Yanhe sending him the script for the first episode he wrote, it took no more than ten hours in total.

Hu Siwei was stunned.

-

"You said that this script was written by Lu Yanhe himself?"

Bai Jingnian looked at Hu Siwei in disbelief and asked.

At night, Bai Jingnian went to bed, and was suddenly knocked on the door by Hu Siwei and broke in, Bai Jingnian thought something big had happened, but Hu Siwei told him that he got a new script here, the first episode, urging him to read the script.

Bai Jingnian was still very unhappy, but after reading the script, his expression immediately changed, and he asked him who wrote this script.

"You said earlier that you found someone to write the script, tell me, where will I go to He Shizhi." Bai Jingnian thought that this was written by the screenwriter Hu Siwei had found before.

When Hu Siwei explained how this script came about, Bai Jingnian fell into Hu Siwei's state of disbelief at the beginning.

Hu Siwei: "It was written by Lu Yanhe, and it was just written." ”

"How is that possible?" Bai Jingnian looked at Hu Siwei in disbelief, "Just this episode of the script, he wrote it in a few hours?" ”

Hu Siwei: "It should be like this. ”

The two men looked at each other.

After a long time, Bai Jingnian said: "Hu Siwei, we have to ask Lu Yanhe to promise to help us write the script." ”

Hu Siwei looked at him and said, "The question now is whether people are willing to help us write all the scripts." ”

Bai Jingnian said: "What is the budget for our script? ”

Hu Siwei said: "The original budget was 200,000 episodes. ”

Bai Jingnian said: "Do you think Lu Yanhe will agree? ”

Hu Siwei shook his head, "He lacks this 1.6 million?" ”

Bai Jingnian: "Then what should I do?" ”

Hu Siwei pondered for a moment, "I'll talk to him and see what he thinks." ”

"I must get him to agree to write the script." Bai Jingnian said, "He wrote the feeling I wanted perfectly. ”

Hu Siwei glanced at him.

-

The next day, Lu Yanhe sat in the school café and looked at Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian who were sitting opposite him with a serious face.

The two people on the other side looked a little nervous.

When the others saw this scene, they all thought it was strange.

A young student is calm and serious, while two middle-aged people are nervous as if they are waiting for a teacher's evaluation.

"You want me to be in charge of the play's play?" Lu Yanhe confirmed again.

Bai Jingnian immediately nodded and said: "Yes, it's not a secret, at first I wanted to write the script by myself, but after writing a little, I couldn't write the feeling I wanted, so I found someone else to write it, but the person I was looking for was also a piece of garbage, fooling me, Hu Siwei came to me with the script you wrote last night, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep as soon as I finished reading it." ”

Lu Yanhe was a little surprised, "The script I wrote is not so good, right?" You're exaggerating. ”

"It's definitely not an exaggeration, it's the kind of feeling I want." Bai Jingnian said, "I just want to write about the most ordinary side of a few young people, the things they experience are dramatic and comedy, but their life conditions are absolutely life-like." ”

Lu Yanhe understood what he was talking about.

He nodded.

"Let me be the screenwriter, it's okay, but I have a few requirements." He said.

Hu Siwei: "You said, as long as we can be satisfied, we must be satisfied." ”

Lu Yanhe said: "First, the name of this drama needs to be changed, I don't like the name "Under the Roof". ”

Hu Siwei looked at Bai Jingnian.

This name was chosen by Bai Jingnian himself.

Bai Jingnian nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, you decide." ”

Lu Yanhe said: "Second, there are two roles in it, I have target actors, and I hope to leave these two roles to my target actors." ”

Bai Jingnian looked at Hu Siwei.

Hu Siwei said: "As long as it doesn't exceed our salary budget, it's no problem. ”

Lu Yanhe nodded, "Of course." ”

Hu Siwei thought of something again, and asked, "Yan He, which role are you going to play?" ”

Lu Yanhe said: "Jiang Kele, he is an actor in it, which is far from my character, I want to challenge it." ”

When Hu Siwei heard this, he was a little surprised, and said: "But the role of Jiang Kele doesn't seem to be the most important role?" ”

Although this is a sitcom in which all six people are the main characters, there is still an emphasis among the six people.

At least from the story of the first season, Hu Fan is the first actor.

The only main line is whether Hu Fan and Li Lili can get back together.

Lu Yanhe said: "I don't need to play the most important role, it's okay. ”

Hu Siwei hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Even if Lu Yanhe is not the first actor in the plot line, he is definitely not a supporting role, and it is not impossible.

In fact, according to Hu Siwei's idea, Lu Yanhe is the best to play the first protagonist.

"Then you can increase the weight of Jiang Kele's role in the script." Hu Siwei said, "After all, you are the only first-line actor in the play." ”

"It doesn't matter, after this drama is broadcast, I think all six of them will become first-line actors." Lu Yanhe said with a calm expression, "Producer Hu, when I read the project book, I took it with such expectations for this project. ”

Hu Siwei and Bai Jingnian looked at each other and were silent.

Lu Yanhe was so confident in this drama that neither of them expected it.

-

Lu Yanhe took care of the creative things, and Chen Ziyan took over the other things.

"Salary + screenwriter's fee, 2 million yuan per episode, in addition, Yan He wants to enjoy 10% of the income of this drama." Chen Ziyan said.

Hu Siwei instantly looked embarrassed.

“10%？ Ziyan, this is an almost impossible number. Hu Siwei said.

Chen Ziyan's attitude was very resolute, saying: "The only starring actor and the only screenwriter who carries the ratings, Yan He deserves this number." ”

Hu Siwei actually knew that Chen Ziyan was right.

In fact, it is a very common phenomenon in foreign film and television circles, especially the core characters of a play.

Lu Yanhe is obviously such a core character in this drama.

However, in a traditional TV station like Beijing and Taiwan, it almost never gives such treatment to the main creators.

At most, the salary is given to the high point, and the manuscript fee is given to the high point.

Chen Ziyan said: "Without Yan He, your drama will definitely not be filmed, you know this very well." ”

Hu Siwei said: "It is more realistic to raise 2 million yuan per episode to 5 million yuan per episode than to get 10% of the proceeds, this is not something I can decide, Ziyan, and it is difficult for Taili to agree to such an approach, they will not be willing to set such a precedent." ”

Chen Ziyan said: "That's your business, Producer Hu, if you want to create an evergreen that will renew the life of Beijing and Taiwan, a sitcom that can be done for a long time, then you have to pay the treatment you deserve." ”

Hu Siwei was silent for a while, and said: "The salary plus the screenwriter's manuscript fee, 1.5 million yuan per episode, 5% of the income, I will fight with the station." ”

Chen Ziyan: "There is no need to talk about bargaining, 10% is already my mouth small, if I really want my lion to open his mouth, I just want 20% is not too much, you know." ”
