Chapter 88 Questions About Scripting
?
The next day.
Friday, 3:43 pm.
Ren Hao, who was about to open the door and enter the room, suddenly found that the door was not locked. He pushed the door and stepped in. He saw his mother Zhuo Yuqin sitting on the small bed in the outer room with her chin in a serious expression, muttering in her mouth, not knowing what she was muttering.
"Mom, why did you get off work so early?" Ren Hao threw his schoolbag on the washing machine and walked over quickly.
He probably thought his mother was still worried about the dispute between him and his father's colleague that day. Ren Hao sighed in his heart, feeling a little guilty.
Zhuo Yuqin raised his eyelids slightly: "Qirong called me and said that someone might come to measure the number of rice in the house in a while, so I quickly asked for leave to come back." After a pause, Zhuo Yuqin sighed: "After the test this time, we will move soon. Oh, where do you think we will go? To the south or the west?"
"I don't care, you and my dad will order it."
"The north and east sides are definitely not possible. The housing prices there are expensive. Oh, I'll call your uncle to discuss it in the evening."
Ren Hao changed his uncle's history. If the company is still there, he will definitely be able to help with the relocation.
In fact, Ren Hao originally planned to get the house payment by himself and let the family live a good life, but now thinking about it, it is indeed a bit too naive.
The production of animation is a long-term process. Naturally, it is impossible for him to get all his royalties at once. In that case, Ren Hao would not be able to do much effort when moving and buying a house.
Ring ling ling ling ling …
"I'll answer the phone."
Ren Hao entered the inner room and connected the phone with a wireless extension: "Hello, who?"
"Is Mr. Ren Hao and Mr. Ren at home?"
Ren Hao's expression was slightly shocked, and he turned to sit on the bed: "I am, Miss Shang, right?"
If it is not very important, Shang Qing usually tells Ren Hao in icq that since he has called, it means...
The two exchanged greetings for a while, and Shang Qingfang talked about the main business, "Mr. Ren, well, that's the case. The main members of the production team have basically finalized it. However, there are some differences in their opinions on the script now. Supervisor Mr. Wutong Gukou is very disagreeing with your thirteenth episode script. He hopes to make it according to the thirty-seven episode script you set at the earliest. Do you think?"
Ren Hao cannot compromise on this, but based on various considerations, the thirteenth and thirty-seventh episodes are obviously more beneficial to him now. If he can fight for it, Ren Hao does not want to give up.
"What's wrong with that?"
"Well, Mr. Taniguchi is by my side now. In this way, he will translate it to you with one sentence. Do you think it's okay?"
"Okay, please tell me." Ren Hao covered the microphone and cleared his throat.
Then, a dense Japanese came from the other end of the phone, and Ren Hao didn't understand a single word.
After a while, Shang Qing organized the language and said slowly: "Mr. Taniguchi said that your script was very complete at the beginning. If you split it into three parts, it would definitely have a bad impact on the whole work. Almost certainly, the ratings and other aspects will drop significantly. He hopes that you will consider it and make the best work according to the thirty-seven episodes."
Ren Hao patted his head and said, "Please tell him that if it is divided into three parts, the production time will be slightly delayed. After all the playback, it will still be thirty-seven episodes. There is no essential change. Well, if there is no impact at all, it will definitely be impossible. But to be unlucky, if the ratings of "death-note" do not reach the expected investment effect, the production of thirteen episodes is enough to avoid unnecessary losses, right?"
In fact, Ren Hao didn't know that talking to the supervisor about avoiding losses is a ridiculous thing. The problem that every supervisor considers is how to perfectly create animations, not things outside the circle. Whether or not losses are lost or not has any meaning to them. After all, supervisor is not an investor.
Although he couldn't understand Wutong Gugu's words, Ren Hao could still hear the firmness and toughness in his tone.
The two communicated for about twenty minutes, but they could not reach a consensus.
In desperation, Ren Hao took a deep breath: "Since that's the case, well, then according to Mr. Taniguchi's intention, I will complete the script in the near future, which is a script of thirty-seven episodes."
To put it bluntly, Ren Hao is just an unknown man, while the bitter Wutong is a famous supervisor. Ren Hao doesn't know if he insists on the production of the thirteenth episode, Sunrise will still use his script.
Ren Hao dared not place a bet on this bet.
He needs this money, very much.
The denial of Wutong in Gukou disrupted Ren Hao's original plan, and even many parts of the script had to be changed. Ren Hao smiled bitterly and felt a little depressed.
He held the phone in his hand, and only heard Shang Qing conveying his meaning to Gukou, "I'm sorry, Gukou, Mr. Ren still insisted on the production of episode 13. He said he would discuss it with Mr. Kawaguchi later."
Ren Hao was stunned and sat up from the bed: "Miss Shang, what do you mean? I remember I just agreed to the script of episode 37, why are you?" Shang Qing said that sentence very slowly, and the language was simple, Ren Hao understood everything.
He didn't expect that Shang Qing would make his own decisions and did not convey his meaning well!
"Wait a minute, I'll explain to you later." Shang Qing's voice was very low.
About three minutes later, Shang Qing's voice rang again, "Mr. Ren, I'm so sorry. I think you really want to produce it according to episode 13, so I said those words privately, I'm sorry..."
Ren Hao didn't say anything, he was waiting for Shang Qing's explanation.
"Well, let me tell you this. On the eve of production, if the supervisor questioned the script and wanted the scripter to change it according to his intention, then the scripter could agree to the change. However, if the producer questioned the script, then the scripter would not be able to change it, but had to change it."
After savoring Shang Qing's words, Ren Hao suddenly realized: "In other words, the producer has more power than the supervisor?"
"You can't say that, haha, well, but at least in the early planning stage, that's the case." Shang Qing saw that Ren Hao had no sign of anger, breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Mr. Kawaguchi has considered a lot. He naturally considered it as reducing the losses you said, so Mr. Kawaguchi agreed with your thirteen-episode script. As long as Mr. Kawaguchi nodded, the thirteen-episode script will not change again."
"Is Mr. Kawaguchi here?"
"Sorry, the producer should go to invest now. If you want to discuss it with him, I will contact you later."
"No, no, I just want to ask, is there any investment?" Ren Hao was still very anxious about this, "When can I start making it?"
