Zhang Tan formally completed the transfer procedures and handed over the work to Feng Dong before leaving.
"The department adopted your opinion and decided to let Xu Jian continue to work on the "Unlucky Bear" project." Feng Dong said.
Because Zhang Tan left, if there was any follow-up work for "Unlucky Bear", someone else had to be arranged to follow up. Feng Dong asked him to recommend someone, and Zhang Tan recommended Xu Jian.
"He has this ability. Of course, if you have any issues to discuss, you can come to me," Zhang Tan said.
Feng Dong patted Zhang Tan on the shoulder and said: "Director Wang heard that you were going to be transferred. She was very dissatisfied at first, but then she figured it out. After all, it is related to your career future. She asked me to thank you and congratulate you.
.”
Zhang Tan actually had a phone call with Wang Zhen, the director of Pujiang TV Station. She didn't want Zhang Tan to leave. Who would follow up the "Unlucky Bear" project after he left? She undoubtedly believed in Zhang Tan more than finding someone else, but the phone conversation
Finally, she also understood that everyone has their own choice, and she cannot block other people's career choices.
"Thank you to the team leader for your understanding." Zhang Tan thanked him. In this matter, the screenwriting department was quite open-minded and generous and did not make things difficult for him.
"Although we are not in the same department, we just have a relationship upstairs and downstairs. I often come here when I have nothing to do. I hope you will work hard to train yourself in your new position and achieve results."
"Thanks."
After leaving Feng Dong's office, Zhang Tan met Xu Jian, who sincerely said thank you.
Zhang Tan smiled and said, "I want to thank you. Now that I'm leaving, I'll trouble you for the rest. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."
Xu Jian never expected that Zhang Tan would be transferred from his post, let alone that he would choose to go to the film and television department. When he heard the news, he thought it was a joke, and after going around and around, the project was handed over to him again.
After saying goodbye to everyone briefly, Zhang Tan took the elevator and arrived at the fifth floor, which is the office floor of the film and television department.
"Here we go~ Zhang Tan."
He Miao immediately noticed Zhang Tan's arrival and came to greet him happily.
"Hello, Minister He." Zhang Tan said politely. He Miaomiao smiled broadly and seemed to be in a good mood.
"Come here, you will work here from now on."
He Miao took Zhang Tan to an office. He was currently alone here, which was equivalent to his own exclusive office.
Then, He Miao took Zhang Tan to meet Zhu Ruopu, and then introduced him to the screenwriters in the screenwriting department.
Finally, He Miao brought Zhang Tan to his office.
"Come sit in my office and let's chat."
After making a cup of tea for Zhang Tan, He Miao introduced the situation of the film and television department and screenwriting department to Zhang Tan. Zhang Tan's first impression was that it was weak.
"Right now, our main focus is on "Chief Kim," which has resulted in no scriptwriters to follow up on other projects. Now that you are here, do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Tan knew something about this place before coming here. He just listened to He Miao's talk. After sorting out his thoughts, he said: "I will follow the minister's arrangements and move wherever necessary. However, I hope to participate in the project as soon as possible."
"Of course……"
What He Miao means is that Zhang Tan should not participate in "Chief Jin". Although this drama is currently the most popular in the studio, many people have already signed up for it. It doesn't make much sense for Zhang Tan to go there. Among those senior
In front of the screenwriter, he is too junior and does not have much say. Instead of doing this, it is better to participate in a project alone, although this project is not as good as "Chief Kim".
"There are three projects here. Take a look and choose one if you are interested." He Miao finally said.
From this point of view, He Miao valued him very much and gave him three projects to choose from. But it also shows that the film and television department is really no better than the animation department. Although there are fewer projects, there are fewer people.
In the animation department, Zhang Tan wanted to participate in a comic adaptation of "Lampburner" and had to compete with several people.
Zhang Tan took the information from He Miao and carefully browsed the projects introduced above.
These are all projects that have not yet been approved, but there are only intentions.
The first one was a movie project. Zhang Tan was refreshed and it was a big movie!
He couldn't help but browse the project introduction carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more something was wrong. What the hell is this? The outline of the story was already there. It was completely a vulgar story about you loving me and me loving you.
He couldn't help but ask: "Where did the synopsis of the story of "Love in Fire" come from?"
When He Miao heard the name, his face was a little embarrassed, as if he was ashamed to say it, but since Zhang Tan asked, he still endured the nausea and said: "This is provided by the investor."
He said it very briefly without saying anything clearly, because if he continued to speak, he would be talking bad about the investors. He had just contacted Zhang Tan, so it was not appropriate to say this to avoid leaving a bad impression. If the person sitting across from him was another senior screenwriter in the department,
He has already complained a lot. In fact, he complained about this project a lot.
He said little, thinking it was because the newcomer didn't understand, but in fact Zhang Tan understood it as soon as he heard it. This is the outline of the story written by the investor!
He has come into contact with this type of investors many times before. They have money and leisure, and are conceited and artistic. After not pursuing material needs, they pursue spiritual needs and leave their inner thoughts to the screenwriter.
Focus on writing a script, vowing to make sure you have enough money and will invest in filming.
For example, Zhang Tan had a real experience. At that time, he was already well-known. An investor came to his door and said that anti-war movies were popular now and wanted to make an anti-war movie and asked him to write a script.
Zhang Tan asked what kind of Anti-Japanese War movie, and the other person thought for a while and then said, sniper movies, cool.
Zhang Tan saw that this man was only thinking about these things at the last minute, and was worried that his ideas would be flying all over the place, so he quickly asked him if he had any other ideas and requests, and said them all at once.
"It is too common for young people to resist the war. I am optimistic about the elderly resisting the war." The other party said.
Zhang Tan thought about it and thought, that's okay. He set the protagonist as an old hunter. When his friends come, he has rice wine. When his enemies come, he has a shotgun. With each shot, there is a wolf, no, a Japanese soldier!
The boss said that hunters are too common and not special. They need to be cooler and have special status.
You come, you come, I'll give you the pen! You come, Zhang Tan stopped making suggestions and let the boss figure it out on his own, and he actually figured it out, a scientist!
This guy gave the old man the identity of a scientist, and he was a weapons expert, very cool and unique, and what’s even more awesome, he turned out to be Qian Xuesen’s junior brother!!!
Zhang Tan finally spoke. This is an offense to the country's merits and cannot be done.
Okay, let's change it. We are in the same school as Qian Xuesen, just two levels lower. This is okay, not explicit, but implicit.
Seeing that the money was generous, Zhang Tan took it seriously and wrote an outline of the story and biographies of the characters. He didn't dare to write any more. He wanted to show it to his boss first, in case he didn't approve, and it would be in vain.
After the boss read it, he said he would take it back to think about it. Two days later, he called and said that he had read it to an old screenwriter and felt that it lacked some conflicts and was not ruthless enough. He suggested adding hatred between the country and the family, such as the daughter being harmed by the Japanese.
Zhang Tan thought to himself that you were really screwed. For the sake of money, he continued to write. After several revisions of the draft, he finally finished it. He handed in the script, received the money, and disappeared quickly. He never wanted to see the boss again. This book
I thought this script would definitely be pornographic, but unexpectedly, a year later I received a call from my boss, saying that filming was about to start, and asked Zhang Tan if he had time to join the team.
Zhang Tan was so frightened by the tossing that he didn't join the cast, but he went to see it after the filming started, and he was completely convinced. The leading actor was an old actor and quite well-known, Wang Xuexin.
What made him even more stunned was that the show was actually aired later.
The name of this anti-Japanese drama is "Grandpa's War of Resistance".
He Miao's simple words made Zhang Tan think a lot, and he avoided this kind of project like a snake or a scorpion, for fear of getting involved.
In a project like this, the screenwriter is a tool and has to completely listen to the investors. The key is that these people don't understand at all and like to give random orders.
He watched the second project, which was a self-produced project by the studio, a suspense drama, and then the third one, a kid starring in a big drama?
…
"How's it going? Did you pick anything?" He Miao had already finished a cup of tea and poured another cup for Zhang Tan. The purple clay pot boiled water again, making a gurgling sound and the fragrance of tea overflowed.
Zhang Tan put down the information and said, "I want to choose the third one."
"The third one? The one where a child plays a big drama?" He Miao was a little surprised. He thought that Zhang Tan would definitely choose the second one. Maybe the first one was also possible. If he chose the first one, he would explain it more clearly to Zhang Tan.
, let him be cautious, but the third one?? The child's?
Zhang Tan said firmly: "Minister He, I choose the third one, children acting in big dramas. I think this project is feasible and I want to try it."
He Miao thought to himself that this show is aimed at children, because the main audience for animation produced by the studio is children. If animation can be successful, why can't it be a live-action film? So he thought about it.
Can't we invite some children to act in big dramas? This can be regarded as the traditional advantage of our studio, inherited from the same line. We don't have full confidence in making movies and TV shows, but we are still very confident in making children's movies and TV shows.
Zhang Tan was also thinking, if a child plays a big drama, isn't this just a small drama from the past life? Some children are found to act in traditional dramas, such as "A Dream of Red Mansions" and "The Legend of White Snake". The children are cute and cute, and the ratings are still very high.
Not bad, and the social response was very enthusiastic, no worse than ordinary hit dramas.
He Miao thought for a while, since Zhang Tan took the initiative to choose a child to act in a big drama, and he chose it for him, then let him do it. The investment is not big, the homemade drama is just suitable for newcomers, and you can also watch him
Ability, however, there are some things to say first.
"This project has not been approved yet. Whether it can be approved depends on the project planning," He Miao said.
Zhang Tan asked: "Have the producer and director made an appointment? I'll talk to them."
"It's not decided yet. Now we've only decided on the screenwriter, and it's just you."
"..."
Zhang Tan has not been shocked. The producer and director have not been decided, so he will find it himself. Although the project is not clear, fortunately, he has a big enough say in this project, which is suitable for a newcomer like him.
.
With He Miao's support, he began to look for a director.
