Monday, morning.

After Xiao Chu finished the hotel buffet breakfast, he was just about to go for a walk in the small garden downstairs to eliminate his appetite and go back to writing.

As a result, WeChat rang vigorously.

When he boarded it up to take a look, he found that it was a small group of him, Zhang Songhe, Lu Gaosheng, and Zhou Qing, and Zhang Songhe sent eight or nine messages in a row.

"Comrades, the click of the first week of "River God" is out!"

"Guess how much?"

"Guess what, I'm guaranteed to surprise you!"

"47 million !!"

"It's only been updated for four episodes in total, and the total number of hits has reached 47 million, do you know what that means?"

"Yes, an average of over 10 million per episode!"

To be precise, it is 11.75 million per episode, which not only exceeded 10 million in one fell swoop and officially became an excellent boutique online drama, but also approached 12 million. ”

"Looking at it this way, I can't beat 20 million in a single episode. ”

"You say, is it possible to have a single episode of 50 million and become a hit?"

Judging from this large string of information, Zhang Songhe was very excited, not only sent so many messages, but also equipped with many typical emojis for middle-aged and elderly people.

After the online drama is launched, every hour, the number of hits will be refreshed.

However, after 12 o'clock in the morning, it will be locked by the system, and it will be updated again at 9 o'clock the next day.

This is required by relevant government departments, so as not to prevent some people from swiping data in the middle of the night and increasing the difficulty of supervision.

So it wasn't until Monday morning that Zhang Songhe saw the overall results of the first week.

However, he was so excited, and the other three people in the small group reacted relatively flatly.

"Lao Zhang, you're so excited, can't you bet with someone?" this was Lu Gaosheng's first reply.

"Take it easy, I'm still waiting to go back to the magic capital, you invite me to drink. "This is his second rule.

"I'm going to start work, and I'll talk about it in the evening. "That's the third one.

Zhou Qing intercepted Zhang Songhe's last sentence, "Is it possible for a single episode to be 50 million and become a hit?", and accompanied it with three words: "I think too much." ”

As for Xiao Chu.

Xiao Chu saw it.

In view of the current atmosphere in the group, he simply didn't see it.

Otherwise, if Director Lu and Producer Zhou didn't respond to Manager Zhang, he would cater to him, and it would seem like he was dog-legged.

He writes manuscripts but is mentally exhausting.

I don't have time to read group messages, so it's reasonable, right?

At this point, he suddenly remembered the nail in his previous life, fortunately this is WeChat, not DingTalk, otherwise he can't pretend not to see it.

Quitting WeChat, think about what Manager Zhang said that the total number of clicks in the 4 episodes has exceeded 47 million, with an average of 11.75 million per episode, crossing the standard line of excellent online dramas.

He was still very happy in his heart.

As for whether it can become a hit with 50 million in a single episode, who knows.

Anyway, if he reaches the excellent level, he will get a bonus of 200,000 yuan.

Dolphin Film and Television has clear regulations on the salary, manuscript fee and bonus of screenwriters.

A fourth-level newcomer screenwriter like Xiao Chu has the lowest salary, with a basic salary of only 4,000 yuan per month, and in an international metropolis like Modu, he is almost starving to death.

To write a script for an episode, the manuscript fee is only 5,000 yuan.

Like Xiao Chu, who independently wrote the entire drama of "River God" - twenty-four episodes - he could only get 120,000 yuan.

The bottom screenwriter is so miserable.

So Lin Yu can't look down on him as a small screenwriter, and Xiao Chu also understands.

After all, under normal circumstances, a rookie screenwriter who has just turned regular has no chance to write a drama alone, so he can only serve as an assistant screenwriter, and even worse, he can only be a gunman.

Therefore, generally speaking, Xiao Chu can't really earn 100,000 yuan when he writes a play.

"River God" can be launched, but the company is in a hurry, plus the creativity and quality are really good, plus the recommendation of the teacher Li Wenqian, there is this opportunity.

Fortunately, the screenwriter will not always be like this, as long as he has the ability, the future and money are quite bright.

Not to mention the basic salary, promoted to a third-level screenwriter, the manuscript fee for each episode is 15,000 yuan.

Second-level screenwriter, 50,000 yuan per episode.

First-class screenwriter, 100,000 yuan per episode.

Screenwriter of the great god, 300,000 yuan per episode.

Platinum screenwriter, 1 million yuan per episode.

Let's not talk about the top gods and platinums, only the dragon and phoenix among the people in the screenwriter, the existence of immortals, can be achieved.

is like a first-class screenwriter, writing an online drama, according to the normal 24 episodes, you can get 2.4 million.

If you write a TV series on satellite TV, the number of episodes is often forty or fifty episodes, or even sixty or seventy episodes, then you can get four or five million, or six or seven million.

It's very cost-effective.

Therefore, screenwriting is an industry that has to endure hardships at the beginning, but if you have the ability, you will have a bright way to make money.

In addition to these basic salaries and manuscript fees, Dolphin also set an incentive mechanism for screenwriters.

Write an excellent online drama (with an average of 10 million clicks per episode), and a reward of 200,000 yuan.

Write a hit online drama (an average of 50 million clicks per episode), and a reward of 500,000 yuan.

Write a phenomenal web drama (with an average of 100 million clicks per episode), and the reward is 1 million yuan.

Therefore, if the total number of hits can reach 240 million after the end of "River God", with an average of more than 10 million per episode, he will be able to get 120,000 manuscript fees + 200,000 rewards, a total of 320,000.

It's not bad for a newcomer to the workplace.

Xiao Chu is not greedy.

He believed in himself and would soon be able to move up the ranks, moving towards the second level, the first level, the great god, and the platinum.

One day, he will stand at the top of the entire industry and even the entire film and television industry.

......

Magic City.

Xia listened to the cicada after practicing, finished yoga, and was just about to go to the song room to practice the piano, when he received a call from Ji Yuwei.

"Listen to the cicada, the arrangement of "Silence" is complete, and the band is ready, you can come and record the demo. "Monsoon rain is slightly straight to the point.

Demo, also known as a sample record, is an essential part of recording each song.

Xia listened to the cicada's eyes lit up slightly, and replied, "Okay, I'll come over now." ”

Hanging up the phone, Xia Tingcicada went back to the room to change clothes, and then called Xiao Ai and went to the Jingyu Weilan Music Studio in the rainy season.

Half an hour later, Xia Tingcicada arrived at Jingyu Weilan Studio.

Ji Yuwei greeted her at the door.

"Yuwei, hard work!" Xia Tingcicada hugged Ji Yuwei.

"This is what I should do. Ji Yu's slightly broad forehead was a little tired, and he smiled: "The band has already practiced the tune, you listen to them play it once, if it's okay, let's start recording the demo." ”

"Good!"

The band began to play.

The arrangement is very beautiful and complete, and it also has the quiet feeling that Xiao Chu played out in the bar that night.

The rain is slight, and she is worthy of being a musical talent valued by Xia Tingciao.

"How?"

After the band finished playing, Ji Yu looked at Xia Tingcicada.

Xia Tingcicada nodded, "Very good." ”

Compared with Xiao Chu's simple solo, this set of arrangements is more complete, and it is close to the artistic conception of the song.

Xia Tingcicada was very satisfied.

"So let's start recording a demo?"

"Let the band teachers take a break and start recording in half an hour. ”

"Okay, listen to you. ”

Half an hour later, the band rested, and Xia Tingcicada also adjusted his state.

Recording begins.

Accompanied by the beautiful melody of the band, Xia listened to the cicada.

"I can't help but turn into a stubborn fish and swim alone against the current......"
