Chapter 2 Screenwriter under 20 years old

Chapter 2 Screenwriters under 20 years old

Magic City, an office building in Baoshan

After paying the fare with some distress, Wei Yang went up to the seventh floor according to the address, and found his destination under the guidance of the front desk.

Blue Whale Film and Television Company!

Wei Yang had never heard of this company in his previous life, but there were too many companies in the entertainment industry. He didn't care about the future of this company, he only cared about the present.

After entering the door and explaining his purpose clearly, it didn't take long for a man in a suit in his thirties to find Wei Yang in the waiting room.

"You...are you Wei Yangwei...teacher?"

The man in the suit was obviously a little surprised by Wei Yang's youth, and the title "teacher" was used somewhat reluctantly.

"If you don't want to be a teacher, just call me Wei Yang or Xiao Wei."

After being reborn for more than half a year, Wei Yang has become accustomed to playing nice, and today he is Party B again, so he is very considerate and helps him out.

"Well, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect you to be so young and handsome, and completely different from the screenwriters I had contact with before."

The man in the suit was amazed and revealed his identity, "My name is Sun Wei, and I am the vice president of our Blue Whale Film and Television Company."

"Then take it out and take a look. To be honest, I'm still worried about the plot behind it."

"Director Liu, I am actually a student in the Department of Theater and Performance at Shanghai University. This is my student ID. Please see if I can give you a role if the conditions are suitable."

First, the cost is small, the subject matter is explosive, and the hope of making it into a TV series is greater.

"Let's go up. Director Zheng and Director Liu are waiting for you up there."

"I can ask for a smaller fee, but I want to add a condition."

"Because of the theme of youth growth + campus + warmth and ambiguity, girls like to watch it more. Using a girl's perspective makes it more immersive, which is good for the ratings."

"We won't charge based on the number of episodes. The one-time price is 20,000 yuan. How about that?"

"Tell me about it."

"Jiu admire" is a false word, but when you hear the name, you can directly point to the director of "The Prince Turns into a Frog", which shows that Wei Yang really understands.

Wei Yang is young, handsome, and sunny. If he were a female vice president who likes puppies, his favorability would be at least +50.

"The Best of Us" has a total of 24 episodes, and the price is 20,000 yuan, which is 800+ for a single episode. This price is not bad for a pure new screenwriter.

Liu Junjie touched his bald head and sighed: "The future generations are terrible."

The fat man Zheng Dong raised his eyes and glanced at Wei Yang, nodded slightly, then continued to plate walnuts, paying more attention to the computer in front of him.

However, Liu Junjie only read the synopsis and the scripts of the first ten episodes. When we talked about the later stages of the plot, he couldn't figure out the context, so he asked Wei Yang.

"Hello, Mr. Sun."

"November this year happens to be twenty."

Liu Junjie looked at Wei Yang with consideration in his eyes. Sun Wei looked around and Wei Yang patiently waited for a response.

Liu Junjie knew the rules. He turned around and motioned to Sun Wei: "Mr. Sun, contract."

Third, it is a reasonable creative scope that is consistent with his current situation and is not suspicious.

Sun Wei frowned, feeling that this newcomer was a bit greedy. Just as he was about to speak, Liu Junjie stopped him.

Sun Wei urged, Wei Yang smiled shyly, but his hands did not move at all.

But he didn't doubt anything, because "The Best of Us" tells the story of high school students, which fits Wei Yang's age.

This is what Wei Yang did deliberately. Several scripts he wrote have three characteristics.

It can be seen that Liu Junjie liked "The Best of Us" quite a lot and talked about his feelings about it. Wei Yang also shared some of his thoughts and the conversation was very enjoyable.

Liu Junjie nodded in agreement. He has filmed many idol dramas and knows the routines involved, so the themes are a little different, but the principles are the same.

"This book is very innovative. Many campus themes in mainland China and even Taiwan are copied from "Meteor Garden" or so-called aristocratic schools in Japan and South Korea.

If the love element is the main line, the female protagonist’s perspective is better than that of the male protagonist.

Sun Wei took the lead in introducing: "This is Zheng Guang, the chairman of our company."

Wei Yang's attitude is very low, and he is even willing to give up financial interests in exchange for starring opportunities.

The campus in your book is the most realistic and local I have ever seen. This setting will greatly enhance the audience’s sense of immersion..."

Wei Yang knew that he had little room for bargaining, but he did not nod directly, but expressed.

"The royalties and remuneration..."

Just kidding, if you finish reading the script and copy it later, how will I make money?

"Mr. Sun, I earn two jobs, but I also work two jobs. The royalties and remuneration are easily negotiable. The main reason is that I want to learn and practice under Director Liu."

Sun Wei took advantage of the opportunity and wanted to haggle over the price, but Director Zheng waved his hand impatiently.

"Young man is quite knowledgeable."

Wei Yang looked like a little fanboy, but it wasn't all fake. Just now he recognized this person at a glance. He was indeed a well-known director in the small screen field.

"I know, the director of "The Prince Who Turned into a Frog" has been a famous name for a long time, and I am very honored to meet him today."

The boss said something, but Liu Junjie stopped holding it: "Xiao Wei looks good, you can try it."

Wei Yang nodded, and Liu Junjie was a little curious: "How old are you this year?"

Liu Junjie's smile became much more friendly: "Did you write the script?"

Wei Yang greeted, "Hello, Director Zheng."

There were leaders waiting, and Sun Wei didn't spend too long chatting. He led Wei Yang along the office area, knocked on an office door, and then led Wei Yang in.

Sun Wei was stunned when he heard Xian knew what he meant: "Actor, screenwriter, you are trying to make two bucks."

For complete submissions like this, veteran screenwriters know the tricks. Without signing a contract and receiving no money, it is impossible to give Party A a complete manuscript.

"I also read the scripts of the first few episodes. Why is the main point of view the female protagonist, not the male protagonist?"

Sun Wei obviously knew that Director Zheng was not the real owner, so he introduced another bald middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.

The office was quite large, and there were two people sitting inside. A fat man wearing a gold chain sat behind the desk, weighing nearly 300 kilograms. He held two walnuts in his hands, filling the boss's chair under him.

As expected, Liu Junjie didn't feel anything was wrong, but Sun Wei was more confused.

Wei Yang patted his backpack: "I printed two paper copies and a USB flash drive of the electronic manuscript."

"Have you brought the complete script?"

In addition to the above-mentioned "The Prince Turns into a Frog", his representative works also include "Why is the Shengxiao Silent", "Shanshan Is Coming", "This Life Is With You" and other blockbuster masterpieces. He is known for his expertise in emotional themes between men and women, with good ratings and high reputation.

Sun Wei muttered, turned around and went out to get the drafted contract, and looked at Wei Yang with a smile.

"This is Director Liu Junjie. You are considered an insider. You should have heard of it."

The three of them were silent here, which annoyed Director Zheng on the side: "What a big deal, it's almost dark. Old Liu gave me a pleasant word and signed a contract to sing K."

Second, there is a suitable role for him to facilitate his detours.

Liu Junjie is a native of Taiwan Province and is very experienced. He has been a director since 1982. He has been a director for more than 40 years and has produced countless works.

"I'll pay you according to the contract amount. What's the shortfall? Don't waste time. Sign the contract quickly. I've made an appointment for the private room. The script is set. Let's go celebrate."

"..."

Zheng Dong was wealthy and wanted to go out to sing karaoke. Even if Sun Wei had the intention, he had no place to do it. He could only quickly get the contract done and then sign it with Wei Yang, so as not to delay the boss's fun.
