Yang Chao directly spread his hands: "You can figure out the script yourself. I have never written a screenwriter with rural themes here. If you start it rashly, you may not be able to achieve the effect you want. But I have a request. The cost of adapting the script cannot exceed
500,000 yuan."
"okay, I get it."
Director Fu Weng came out of the Neiku Building and began to think about which screenwriter to use for the adaptation.
"After all, this time it was invested and produced by a big company... I want to break through myself and break the curse of Douban's 5 points, so I have to find someone reliable, otherwise such a good work will be in vain..."
He thought for a moment and then called Wei Fan again.
Once someone gets comfortable using it, they will want to use it all the time.
Wei Fan's casual words found him a good work, which might also help him solve the screenwriting problem.
"It just so happened that his crew had just finished filming, and the screenwriter who was free..."
With that in mind, the call was connected.
When Wei Fan heard that Fu Weng was looking for a screenwriter, he immediately burst into laughter.
"Director Fu, you have asked the right person! I feel that after so many years, you have only needed a good screenwriter to guide you. This time, I strongly recommend my chief screenwriter - Editor Pu!"
"Pubian?"
"My junior student Pu Jie is also the original author of the movie "The Rogue Doctor" you bought, Pu Ding. In fact, he has always been an underestimated genius in decision-making and screenwriting!"
"Oh? He's only a freshman, right? His screenwriting skills..."
Fu Weng didn't quite believe it. In the screenwriting industry, the older you get, the more you become more sophisticated. It's not easy for young people to make a living, let alone students like this who are still in school. They usually have to work as a gunman for a small crew.
Wei Fan immediately said: "At one time, like you, I thought Pu was just a well-written novel, but... I didn't expect that he had already expected that his book would sell the copyright, so he sold the first four episodes in advance.
The script version of the TV series has been written, but the writing style... tsk tsk~ Even his teacher Wang Xiang is here, and he can't even say he can keep up the pressure!"
"Hi~Wang Xiang? Is it Wang Xiang, the gold medal screenwriter? Is that his teacher?"
"That's right, I, my junior, have learned a lot from screenwriter Wang. The two of us are both teachers and friends. We are currently collaborating on a soft science fiction script."
"Wow! Not bad. It seems that Wang Xiang really wants to take your apprenticeship. He can write a script with Wang Xiang. Even if he can't sign his name, he has proved his ability. When talking about it in the circle in the future...
A qualification.”
"Hahahahaha!"
"Why is Wade laughing?"
"I laughed at that... ahem, I laughed at you for looking down on editor Pu. The script they collaborated on was editor Pu's idea and draft. Wang Xiang was just helping to improve it. He could only do small work, and editor Pu was the only one.
He is the first signer!”
"Fuck!"
Fu Weng was shocked!
What kind of magical skill is it to make Wang Xiang willing to be a small screenwriter?
You must know that Wang Xiang has rejected many invitations from major producers in the industry, and his current goal is only to win domestic and foreign film and television awards.
"Doesn't that mean... screenwriter Wang Xiang thinks this script might... win an award!"
"Well...it must be so! Director Fu, I have told you the inside story. You should weigh whether you should ask Pu to write the script. If you go to contact him, remember! You must have a correct attitude. As a junior of mine,
Although he seems ordinary and a bit rustic...but he is definitely not as simple as he appears on the surface. You have to think deeply about every word he says."
Fu Weng thought of all the operations surrounding "The Rogue Doctor" last month, and it was obvious that there was someone behind the scenes.
Who is this guy?
It’s clear at a glance!
In the end, even the producers of Neiku.com were attracted and took the initiative to spend 2 million yuan to buy the full film and television rights.
Although this price is incomparable to the first-line IP "Jiang Ri", this operation has reached its limit.
With this thought, Fu Weng abandoned all contempt and settled his mentality.
"Don't worry Wei Di! I know what to do!"
After hanging up the phone, Fu Weng found the phone number given by the copyright department of Qidian and called Pu Jie.
...
Beiyi University, male dormitory.
When Pu Jie was proud that his strategy defeated the evil dog editor again.
the phone is ringing.
"Hello?"
"Oh... you are the director who bought the copyright of my novel, right? Director Wei Fan said that he has admired you for a long time!"
Pu Jie's mood has changed. From the initial confusion, anger, discomfort, and hopelessness... he has returned to gratitude.
Thanks to Wei Fan for his recommendation, thanks to Fu Weng for his persistence, and thanks to the producers of Neiku.com for their discerning eyes.
Otherwise, the number in his system would be less than 800,000.
Anyway, I have already made a profit, so I will definitely make a lot of money!
The more "Country Scoundrel Doctor" earns, the more enjoyable he will be when he takes it out after completing the mission!
Therefore, he was very polite to Weng.
Fu Weng: "Editor Pu, I won't talk in circles. I heard that you... are very good at writing scripts. I want you to personally adapt your own novel. How about it?"
Pu Jie looked embarrassed: "Ah... I'm afraid it's not convenient for me to give you a guide. I just started a new book recently, and there may be... some conflicts in terms of time."
"The first season shoots 40 episodes. You can write the scripts for the first 10 episodes first, and we can write the rest while filming. In fact, the script requirements for our rural dramas are so strict. Many lines in your book can be used directly.
, and you are the original author, so it will definitely be easy to do."
"40 episodes!"
Pu Jie shouted that the scripts for so many episodes would kill him. This is impossible. He is now anxious to write a new book.
"Director Fu, I'm really sorry, I'm..."
Fu Weng: "We have a limited budget and can only give you a screenwriting fee of 10,000 yuan per episode at most."
"When will our crew start work?"
Fu Weng:(*゜ー゜*)
"Um...what did you say just now? Why are you here now?"
"Oh, let me tell you... young people nowadays always complain about being tired or suffering, and no one has anything to worry about! If we don't work hard, how can our film and television industry make progress! Time is like a sponge.
The water in it will eventually come out if you squeeze it, and it’s not about screenwriting fees or screenwriting fees. The main thing is that I want the drama "The Rogue Doctor" to be successful!"
Fu Weng was immediately moved!
Look at the state of Pu Bian!
It makes Wang Xiang willing to be a new star screenwriter in the industry, and he actually accepted it when he heard the price of 10,000 yuan per episode.
Is it because screenwriting fees are high?
Certainly not!
Although he is not in the Internet literary circle, he has probably heard about how much money Pu Dingluo's novels can earn, and of course he cannot be interested in the 400,000 yuan screenwriting fee.
And the fact is... just the opposite!
When Editor Pu heard this price, he knew that their crew... had no money.
As poor as Wei Fan.
We can only hire ordinary screenwriters with 10,000 yuan per episode, and we can't even hire well-known screenwriters. Those who are slightly famous have to start with 50,000 yuan.
He is worried that his work will be ruined by ordinary screenwriters!
That’s why I agreed straight away.
For a moment, Fu Weng's eyes became moist.
"How long...haven't I seen this kind of original author who is responsible for the work? You always say that the adapted work is not in line with the original work...Then the original author will leave it alone after selling the copyright. What can the crew do? We just
We can invite new screenwriters to read the novel and then adapt it based on their understanding. If the original author is willing to join the team, or even has the ability to write the novel himself, we can't wait to let the original author adapt his own work!"
"Recently, the TV series "The Beginning" which is very popular, why is it so good? Noon Sun Pictures invited the original author to participate in the adaptation, but you don't know how to write the script? Then teach me step by step! How is the quality of the final product?
?Invincible! This is a successful adaptation!"
"Editor Pu... obviously understood this, so when he heard that the price was only 10,000 yuan per episode, he decided to do it himself. Even if he was very busy, he still had to find time to help us complete this work."
"Wei Di...I probably understand why you admire Pu Bian so much. He is not only a master of manipulating people's hearts, but also the most dedicated author and screenwriter!"
Suppressing his surging emotions, Fu Weng said: "I believe! With the addition of editor Pu, the quality of our drama will definitely be raised to a higher level!"
Pu Jie: "I hope..."
After hanging up the phone, Pu Jie had a headache, as if he had agreed too quickly...
As soon as he heard about the chief screenwriter's fee of 400,000 yuan, he was stunned.
