As a new screenwriter, He Xiaofan has a lot to complain about.

This means that in front of laymen, you can complain as much as you want, and scold whoever you want.

If you change to the producer's father, you should endure it, and learn how to be a "ninja" quietly, which is the most basic self-cultivation of screenwriters.

Just when He Xiaofan and Gu Chen's family were chatting hotly, a phone call suddenly came in.

He Xiaofan opened the answer button: "Hey, fatty, I have something to say." ”

A few seconds later, He Xiaofan's face changed abruptly, and he hurriedly said, "That's okay, I'll ...... I'll come right over. ”

Hanging up the phone, He Xiaofan scratched the back of his head, looking at the freshly changed spare tire, which was much smaller than the previous car tire, and it was not pleasing to the eye.

He Xiaofan was distressed for a while......

"Why Xiao He?" Seeing this, Gu Baichuan also asked him curiously.

"Uncle Gu, can I borrow your car?" He Xiaofan said.

Gu Baichuan was stunned, and quickly glanced at the car at He Xiaofan's door, and said inexplicably: "Didn't you change the spare tire of this car?" ”

"That's not what I meant. He Xiaofan waved his hand, sighed, and finally said to everyone honestly: "My car is too low-level, and my screenwriting team called me in the morning and said that a producer asked us to talk about the project." ”

"You said that my car is average, the tires don't match, this has to go out to talk about the project, it's really a bit face-saving, so ......"

"I understand, when doing business, face is very important, especially when talking about big business. Gu Baichuan, a veteran in the business field, instantly understood He Xiaofan's difficulties.

He immediately turned his head to look at Gu Chen and said, "Son, you will rest today anyway, so let's drive your Brother He over to talk about the project, and it will be good to have a long experience." ”

"Okay, no problem. Gu Chen readily agreed, it would be boring to stay at home anyway, so it would be better to go over and have a look.

Seeing that the Gu family was so generous, He Xiaofan was also grateful: "How embarrassing it is, Uncle Gu, and let Gu Chen be my driver." ”

"It's nothing. Gu Baichuan waved his hand and said, "As long as you produce some more good works, so that we can all see them on the screen, then we will be content." ”

"After all, the people's yearning for a better life must first start with spiritual enjoyment, right? Where does spiritual enjoyment come from? TV series, movies, etc., in short, don't say anything, come on. ”

"Hmm!

was encouraged by Gu Baichuan's bloody style, and He Xiaofan was instantly full of fighting spirit.

You must know that He Xiaofan has not started work for several months.

Fortunately, the team members have made an appointment with a big producer, can they seize the opportunity?

At this time, the producer is the father, and when he talks about the project, he has to entertain him well.

And the other party is from the magic capital, as the host, can you drive people to the hotel to eat or something?

If you want to drive a cheap car, forget it, the key is that one of the tires is a spare tire, which does not match the other three tires, which seriously affects the appearance.

Of course, He Xiaofan also thought about renting a car, but seeing that it was too late, it happened that Gu Baichuan's family had two good cars, so he asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Gu Baichuan promised to be so refreshing, and he also gave He Xiaofan a driver.

Thinking about all the bad luck that happened early this morning, now there is finally a turnaround.

"Let's go. ”

Gu Chen took out the key in his pocket and was about to go out, but was directly stopped by Gu Baichuan.

"Son, come back. ”

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen turned around, also with a puzzled expression.

"Talking about big projects, how can you drive your broken car?" Gu Baichuan walked in front of Gu Chen and directly smashed his car key into Gu Chen's hand: "Drive my new car." ”

Gu Chen pinched the new car key given by Gu Baichuan, also smiled, turned to He Xiaofan and said, "Let's go, Brother He, I'll send you over." ”

"Alas!" He Xiaofan was overjoyed, Gu Baichuan gave Gu Chen the keys to the Mercedes-Benz car, thinking about it, he would have face.

The two came to a parking space at the door, and Gu Chen directly pressed it to unlock it.

A white Mercedes-Benz big G parked in front of the two suddenly flashed its headlights.

"Wow, it's Big G? Your Gu family is really rich. He Xiaofan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in his heart that Gu Baichuan had really made a lot of money over the years.

Gu Chen didn't care about this, directly opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

He Xiaofan hurriedly got into the car and sat in Gu Chen's passenger seat.

In order to listen to the sound of the mechanical door closing circulating on the Internet, He Xiaofan also specially closed the door twice to determine whether the mechanical crisp sound was real.

"Yes, it is said that a car is good or not, high or not, just listening to the sound of the door closing can feel it, today I feel it, I must work hard to make money in the future, and buy a white big G, this is a man's dream." ”

Gu Chen glanced at him: "Brother He's dream is to open a big G?"

"Could it be...... Isn't it?" He Xiaofan turned his head and glanced at Gu Chen, and suddenly said with a smile: "Of course, you already have it, of course you don't care, but no one cares." ”

Looking at the traffic on both sides of the road, He Xiaofan also sighed with emotion: "Sometimes I really envy you Gu Chen, now you don't have to worry about making money, you can concentrate on doing what you like." ”

"Isn't Brother He?" Gu Chen glanced at He Xiaofan beside him while driving.

He Xiaofan shook his head: "I'm different from you, I became a screenwriter entirely because I was poor, so I broke my scalp and learned from a teacher, and finally squeezed into this industry." ”

"You know, I only have a high school degree, and the threshold for entering this industry is too high, and I have to work two hundred percent or even three hundred more than others to reach the normal level of others. ”

"So, in the world of screenwriting, people give nicknames...... Ho Saburo. ”

"What pervert?" Gu Chen was stunned, feeling a little inexplicable.

He Xiaofan hurriedly corrected: "It's not He Satyr, it's He Sanlang, what does it mean to be desperate." ”

"Oh, yes. Gu Chen continued to drive and turned towards the right passage.

At this time, He Xiaofan hurriedly reminded Gu Chen: "We are going to the Peninsula Coffee House, which is the Peninsula Mansion." ”

"I know that place. Gu Chen nodded slightly and began to speed up.

After 30 minutes of stop-and-go, Gu Chen finally drove the car into the temporary parking lot of the Peninsula Coffee House.

"Pour! pour!"

A security uncle came over to command, and it didn't take long for Gu Chen to charge 15 yuan for parking, and then he went to command another car.

"Welcome, do you have an appointment?"

Walking into the Peninsula Café, the first thing that catches your eye is a waitress in a kawaii uniform walking over and greeting them in a crispy and soft voice.

"If you have an appointment, you can ......"

"Well, here. ”

Before He Xiaofan could chat with the cute girl for a few more words, a fat man sitting not far away stood up and beckoned to He Xiaofan.

He Xiaofan smiled: "I have an appointment, there." ”

"Okay, two little brothers, please come with me. The stunned girl still replied in a crisp and soft voice, waved her penguin hand, and led the two to the fat man.

Only then did Gu Chen discover that in addition to the fat man, there was also a woman with glasses who looked a little serious, and a middle-aged man who was tall and thin and dressed in a somewhat foreign style.

Gu Chen probably guessed that these people and He Xiaofan should be a screenwriting team.

"May I ask what you need to drink?" the cute girl waiter asked when she saw Gu Chen and He Xiaofan sitting down.

"That's it...... Just like them. He Xiaofan said.

"Okay, please wait. The cute girl got a reply and left with a penguin hand.

He Xiaofan sat next to the fat man and touched the fat man's shoulder: "Hey, fat man, it's okay, I said why do you have to choose to come here, the waitress who co-authors here are good?"

"Hehe, you just know?" the fat man seemed to be a regular visitor here, laughing so hard that the fat all over his body was trembling.

He glanced at Gu Chen, and then asked He Xiaofan with a curious expression: "Xiaofan, is he your friend?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you to you. He Xiaofan was so happy that he forgot to introduce Gu Chen to everyone, so he quickly patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and said:

"His name is Gu Chen, he is from my community, and his family runs a grocery supermarket. ”

"Oh! Gu Chen. I felt as if I had heard this name somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while, and the fat man still stretched out his right hand to say hello: "Hello Gu Chen, my name is Wang Hai, and everyone calls me Wang Fatzi." ”

"Hello. Gu Chen shook hands with him, but he was silently thinking in his heart, as if in every TV series, there will be a fat supporting role.

And in every team, there will be at least one fat man, think about it, this is about to become an eternal law.

"My name is Zhang Kai. The tall and thin man who had reached middle age but was still very fashionable stretched out his rib-like right hand to shake hands with Gu Chen.

"Hello. "I just shook hands with the meaty Wang Fatzi, and now I shook hands with Zhang Kai, who was as thin as ribs, and suddenly felt that the arms of the two were like pig's trotters and phoenix feet.

"Hey, Ninth Sister, say hello. Seeing that everyone had introduced themselves to Gu Chen, and the glasses girl who looked a little serious next to her was still looking at the materials in her hand, Zhang Kai couldn't help but touch her shoulder.

"Huh?" The woman who called the ninth sister looked up, and only then did she see Gu Chen in front of her through Zhang Kai's gaze.

Immediately, he was shocked by Gu Chen's delicate appearance, and quickly apologized: "You...... Hello, what's your name? I was busy reading the information just now, but I didn't hear clearly. ”

"My name is Gu Chen. Gu Chen shook hands with her.

The ninth sister grinned, and while touching Gu Chen's hands, she was a little shy to retract.

Looking Gu Chen up and down, the ninth sister also asked Gu Chen curiously: "Are you ...... Graphic model?"

Gu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a graphic model, I'm a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Group 3 of the Furong Branch." ”

"Policeman, so you are a policeman?" After the ninth sister learned about Gu Chen's profession, she also showed a relieved smile: "When did we have such a handsome policeman in Jiangnan City? Why didn't I know before? Do I feel like I'm lonely?"

"Look at what you said. Gu Chen just smiled slightly, and then asked the ninth sister: "But...... Is Ninth Sister your pen name?"

"That's right, my pen name is Jiumei, and everyone in the screenwriting industry also calls me Jiumei, you can also call me Jiumei. ”

"Huh!" As soon as he heard the ninth sister boasting, He Xiaofan complained: "You are much older than our Gu Chen, you ask others Gu Chen to call you the ninth sister, isn't that taking advantage of him?"

"What's cheap or not, isn't it just a pen name? If Brother Gu Chen is not used to being called, he can also call me Miss Jiu, this is always okay, right?"

The ninth sister changed her serious face just now, chatted with Gu Chen, and became easy-going.

At this time, the cute girl waiter took twice the coffee and gently placed it in front of the two: "Two little brothers, the coffee you want is here." ”

"Thank you. Gu Chen took the coffee and nodded in thanks.

Seeing Gu Chen so polite, the cute girl waiter put the tray behind her, and hesitated for a few seconds, before she leaned into Gu Chen's ear and asked, "Little brother, I think you are very handsome, can I take a photo with you?"

"This ......" Gu Chen turned his head and looked, and the cute girl waiter had already put on a cute look.

pouting, the appearance is very cute, and it is difficult to refuse.

Gu Chen could only smile and nodded: "Yes." ”

"Thank you. When the cute girl heard this, she quickly took out her cat ear mobile phone, leaned against Gu Chen's side, pouted, and made a cute scissor hand expression.

"Click!"

As the photo was completed, the cute girl smiled politely, and then quickly ran to several female colleagues, dancing excitedly, as if winning the lottery.

All this was seen by He Xiaofan, and he also laughed and said, "It seems that Gu Chen is very popular with girls." ”

The jealous ninth sister was unhappy, and quickly interrupted the topic: "Don't talk nonsense, since He Xiaofan has come, the people from our screenwriting team have already arrived, now let's talk about the production team that will be received later." ”

The ninth sister is like the housekeeper of this team, managing all the coordination affairs.

She lifted her glasses and opened the information book, and then introduced to everyone: "The producer who will come later is a relatively powerful production team in the magic capital. ”

"I'm here later, the literary planner and the literary director, mainly to discuss with us about the topic selection and copyright. ”

"They recently bought some literary rights and wanted to find a team of writers to work on the adaptation. ”

"Since it's a fantasy work, my friends in the magic capital recommended us to them. ”

"And they came here this time mainly to communicate with our opinions in the script writing process, after all, they are in charge of the field of literary planning. ”

"Literary planning? That's usually a corporate job. He Xiaofan took a sip of coffee.

Jiu Mei nodded slightly and continued: "Their literary planner as a producer has a good reputation in the industry, and this person named Liao Fan has worked as a planner and editor before, and these two types of positions are a help for screenwriters. ”

In addition to understanding the script, he must also be able to connect with the entire market environment, he has to provide advice to the screenwriter on the parts that the screenwriter does not understand, and it is also an important communication channel between the chief screenwriter and the producer. ”

Throwing the information to He Xiaofan, who was late, the ninth sister lay on the sofa, and also picked up the coffee and continued to introduce:

"The editor-in-charge is more of the signature position of some staff members of the platform, and the company will also have editor-in-charge, which overlaps with the work of literary planning. ”

"Generally speaking, the editor-in-charge does basic review and communication work, and the editor-in-charge of the platform's signature is more biased towards the field of administrative docking and technical review. ”

And this Liao Fan is not only good at these, but as a literary planner, he also serves as a script director. ”

"He is also a script director?" He Xiaofan frowned slightly when he heard this.

Gu Chen asked him curiously, "Is the script director very good?"

"Well, how do you say it?" He Xiaofan pursed his lips and couldn't help but say: "Generally speaking, script director is also a key position that has only emerged in recent years. ”

"This function is usually to guide the screenwriter on how to create, and in general, it means that the screenwriter is inexperienced and asks a powerful senior screenwriter to guide the script. ”

"He's actually more of a gatekeeper in the direction, which is equivalent to ...... I let you go where you go, with a lot of power, similar to the script doctor or something. ”

"Oh, I see? Gu Chen nodded slightly, but still said with questions: "But I don't think you're happy, don't you want to meet the script doctor?"

"Not really. He Xiaofan put down the coffee, turned to Gu Chen and said: "In fact, this kind of position is easy to contradict us when the work is signed, which is what we often call signature infringement. ”

"Signature infringement?" Gu Chen seemed to have heard He Xiaofan talk about it when he was in the grocery supermarket.

He Xiaofan nodded silently, and said unabashedly: "Like many rights protection actions on script creation on the Internet, such as fighting for the right of authorship, fighting for the position of signature, fighting for the name of signature, and so on, it is actually very complicated. ”

"Take a complex project as an example, a bumpy project with multiple rounds of reconstruction, and there will often be a dispute over signatures. ”

"Who has a higher contribution rate? Who should enjoy a heavier byline? Between the chief screenwriter and the screenwriter, and between the editor-in-charge and the screenwriter, there are often unclear disputes over 'infringement'. ”

"For creation-led projects, we need to negotiate a ranking based on the results, and try to reflect everyone's work. ”

"To this end, we generally adhere to two principles, one is to measure the ultimate contribution, and the other is to respect the order of priority. ”

"But if it is said that several drafts of the script are working in a better direction, it must be based on the core contribution. ”

"Those who have made significant contributions to the overall structure, character setting and key plot will be signed first. ”

"But on this basis, there must be a first-come, first-served, first-come, first-come, first-served process, in the process of project development, the first person may not be in the right direction, but it is still a necessary process of trial and error. ”

"As long as you've participated in it, or as long as you've written a draft, I don't like the fact that you sign it no matter how much it takes. ”

Seeing that Gu Chen seemed to understand a little, He Xiaofan said again: "Because this will cause two consequences, the first is that it is unfair to the person who has contributed the most, in this case, he may not be ranked first." ”

"Secondly, the contribution value of the screenwriter who signed the screenwriter at the same time is not balanced, which will lead to a situation where the screenwriter who does not have such a large contribution value will take on the next project, and the result is not good, resulting in the project being stranded, and the non-standard signature actually has a great impact on the entire industry. ”

"And this script director, to a large extent, depends on character, because he has a lot of power, he will modify your script at any time, or change your script, don't talk about the signature at that time, whether you can get money according to the contract is a question, who is he afraid of?"
