As a new screenwriter, He Xiaofan still has many things to complain about.
This means that in front of laymen, you can complain as much as you want and scold whomever you want.
If you were the father of the producer, you would have to endure it. Learning how to be a "ninja" quietly is the most basic self-cultivation for a screenwriter.
Just when He Xiaofan was chatting with Gu Chen and his family, a phone call suddenly came in.
He Xiaofan opened the answer button: "Hey, Fatty, I have something to say."
After a few seconds, He Xiaofan's expression suddenly changed and he quickly said: "Okay, I...I'll be right over."
After hanging up the phone, He Xiaofan scratched the back of his head and looked at the spare tire that had just been replaced. It was much smaller than the previous car tire, and it didn't look pleasing to the eye.
He Xiaofan was troubled for a while...
"What's wrong, Xiao He?" Seeing this, Gu Baichuan also asked him out of curiosity.
"Uncle Gu, can I borrow your car?" He Xiaofan said.
Gu Baichuan was stunned, and quickly looked at the car at the door of He Xiaofan, and said inexplicably: "Didn't your car have a spare tire? It can be driven."
"That's not what I meant." He Xiaofan waved his hands, sighed, and finally told everyone the truth: "My car is too low-level. My screenwriting team called me this morning and said that a producer invited us to discuss a project.
."
"You said my car is just average. The tires don't match yet. I have to drive it out to discuss projects. It's really a bit embarrassing, so..."
"I understand, in business, face is very important, especially when talking about big business." Gu Baichuan, a veteran in the business field, instantly understood He Xiaofan's difficulty.
He immediately turned to look at Gu Chen and said: "Son, you have a rest today anyway, so just drive your brother He over to discuss the project, so that you can go and learn more about it."
"Okay, no problem." Gu Chen agreed readily. Staying at home was boring anyway, so I thought I might as well go over and have a look.
Seeing how generous the Gu family was, He Xiaofan was filled with gratitude and said, "I'm so sorry, Uncle Gu, for asking Gu Chen to be my driver."
"It's nothing." Gu Baichuan waved his hand and warned: "As long as you produce more good works so that we can all see them on the screen, then we will be satisfied."
"After all, people's yearning for a better life must first start with spiritual enjoyment, right? Where does spiritual enjoyment come from? TV series, movies, etc. In short, don't talk about anything, come on."
"Yeah! Come on!"
Encouraged by Gu Baichuan's chicken-blooded attack, He Xiaofan was instantly full of fighting spirit.
You know, He Xiaofan has not started work for several months.
Fortunately, the team members have made an appointment with a big producer, but why don't they seize the opportunity?
At this time, the producer is my father, and when we discuss the project, we must treat him well no matter what.
Moreover, the other party is coming from Shanghai. As a host, you are not allowed to drive him to a hotel for dinner or something?
Even if you want to drive a cheap car, the most important thing is that one tire is the spare tire, which does not match the other three tires and seriously affects the appearance.
Of course, He Xiaofan also thought about renting a car, but seeing that there was no time, Gu Baichuan's family happened to have two good cars, so he asked casually.
Unexpectedly, Gu Baichuan agreed so readily and even assigned a driver to He Xiaofan.
Thinking about all the unlucky things that happened early this morning, things have finally turned around.
"Let's go."
Gu Chen took out his keys in his pocket and was about to go out when he was stopped by Gu Baichuan.
"Son, come back."
"What's wrong?" Gu Chen turned around, also looking confused.
"We are talking about a big project, how can we drive your shabby car?" Gu Baichuan walked up to Gu Chen and smashed his car key into Gu Chen's hand: "Drive my new car over there."
Gu Chen pinched the new car key given by Gu Baichuan and smiled. He turned to He Xiaofan and said, "Let's go, Brother He, I'll take you there."
"Alas!" He Xiaofan was extremely happy. What Gu Baichuan gave Gu Chen was the key to the Mercedes-Benz. Thinking about it, he would be proud of it.
The two came to a parking space at the door, and Gu Chen directly pressed the unlock button.
A white Mercedes-Benz G was parked in front of the two people, and its lights suddenly flashed.
"Wow, it's Big G? Your Gu family is really rich." He Xiaofan's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking that Gu Baichuan has really made a lot of money in these years.
Gu Chen ignored this and opened the car door directly and got into the driver's seat.
He Xiaofan quickly got into the car and sat in the passenger seat of Gu Chen.
In order to listen to the mechanical door closing sound circulated on the Internet, He Xiaofan even closed the door twice to confirm whether the mechanical crisp sound was real.
"Yes, everyone talks about whether a car is good or not, whether it is high-end or not. You can feel it just by listening to the sound of the door closing. I felt it today. I must work hard to make money in the future and buy a big white G. This is a man's dream.
ah."
Gu Chen glanced at him: "Brother He's dream is to drive a big G?"
"Isn't it...isn't it?" He Xiaofan turned his head and glanced at Gu Chen, and suddenly said with a smile: "Of course, you already have it, of course you don't care, but people who don't have it will care."
Looking at the busy traffic on both sides of the road, He Xiaofan sighed with emotion: "Sometimes I really envy you Gu Chen. Now you don't have to worry about making money and can concentrate on doing what you like."
"Isn't that Brother He?" Gu Chen glanced at He Xiaofan beside him while driving.
He Xiaofan shook his head: "I'm different from you. I became a screenwriter entirely because I was poor, so I squeezed my scalp, studied under a teacher, and finally got into this industry."
"You have to know that I only have a high school degree. The threshold for entering this industry is too high. I have to work 200% or even 300% harder than others to reach the normal level of others."
"So, in the screenwriting world, people give him the nickname...He Sanlang."
"What a pervert?" Gu Chen was stunned, feeling a little confused.
He Xiaofan quickly corrected him: "It's not He Pervert, it's He Sanlang, the desperate Sanlang."
"Oh, I understand." Gu Chen continued driving and turned to the right passage.
At this time, He Xiaofan quickly reminded Gu Chen: "We are going to the Peninsula Cafe, which is over at Peninsula Mansion."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "I know that place." Gu Chen nodded slightly and began to speed up.
After 30 minutes of stop-and-go, Gu Chen finally drove into the temporary parking lot of Peninsula Coffee House.
"Down! Down! Down!"
A security guard came over to direct the car. Not long after, he charged Gu Chen 15 yuan for parking and then went to direct another car.
"Welcome, do you have an appointment?"
When you walked into the Peninsula Cafe, the first thing you saw was a waitress wearing a kawaii uniform walking over and saying hello to the two of them in a soft voice.
"If you have an appointment, just..."
"Here, here."
Before He Xiaofan could chat with the cute girl, a fat man sitting not far away stood up and waved to He Xiaofan.
He Xiaofan smiled: "I have an appointment, over there."
"Okay, two little brothers, please come with me." The confused girl still replied with a soft voice, waving her penguin hands, and led the two of them to the fat man.
Only then did Gu Chen discover that in addition to the fat man, there was also a rather serious-looking woman with glasses, and a tall, thin, middle-aged man dressed in a somewhat fashionable style.
Gu Chen probably guessed that these people and He Xiaofan should be a screenwriting team.
"What would you like to drink?" the cute waiter asked when she saw Gu Chen and He Xiaofan sitting down.
"Just... be like them." He Xiaofan said.
"Okay, please wait a moment." The cute girl received the reply and left with her penguin hand waving.
He Xiaofan sat next to the fat man and touched his shoulder: "Hey, fat man, it's okay. Why do you have to choose to come here? Isn't the waitress here nice?"
"Hey, you just know that?" The fat man seemed to be a regular visitor here, laughing so hard that the fat all over his body was trembling.
He glanced at Gu Chen, and then asked He Xiaofan with curiosity: "Xiaofan, is he your friend?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you." He Xiaofan was so happy that he forgot to introduce Gu Chen to everyone, so he quickly patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and introduced:
"His name is Gu Chen. He lives in my neighborhood. His family owns a grocery store. My car had a flat tire today, so I had to borrow his big G to save the day."
"Oh! Gu Chen." It felt like he had heard this name somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while. The fat man still stretched out his right hand to say hello: "Hello Gu Chen, my name is Wang Hai, everyone calls me
Fatty Wang."
"Hello." Gu Chen shook hands with him, but he was thinking silently in his heart. It seemed that in every TV series, there would be a fat supporting character.
And in every team, there will be at least one fat guy. Think about it, this is almost becoming an eternal rule.
"My name is Zhang Kai." The tall and thin man, who was already middle-aged but still very fashionable, stretched out his rib-like right hand to shake hands with Gu Chen.
"Hello." I just shook hands with the plump Fatty Wang, and now I shook hands with Zhang Kai, who was as skinny as a rib. Suddenly, it felt like their arms were like pig's trotters and chicken feet.
"Hey, Jiu Mei, say hello." Seeing that everyone introduced themselves to Gu Chen, and the rather serious-looking girl with glasses next to him was still looking at the materials in his hand, Zhang Kai couldn't help but touch her shoulder.
"Ah?" The woman named Jiumei looked up and saw Gu Chen in front of her through Zhang Kai's eyes.
Suddenly, he was startled by Gu Chen's exquisite appearance, and quickly apologized: "Hello... hello, what's your name? I was busy reading the information just now, so I didn't hear it clearly."
"My name is Gu Chen." Gu Chen shook hands with her.
Jiumei grinned and reached out to Gu Chen, but she shyly retracted her hand.
Looking Gu Chen up and down, Jiumei asked Gu Chen curiously: "Are you...a graphic model?"
Gu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a graphic model, I'm a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Group Three of Furong Branch."
"Police? So you are a policeman?" Jiumei smiled happily after learning about Gu Chen's occupation: "When did we have such a handsome policeman in Jiangnan City? Why didn't I know this before? It feels like I am
Aren’t you ignorant and ignorant?”
"Look what you said." Gu Chen just smiled slightly, and then asked Jiumei: "But... is Jiumei your pen name?"
"Yes, my pen name is Jiumei. Everyone in the screenwriting industry also calls me Jiumei. You can also call me Jiumei."
"Huh?" Hearing Jiumei's boastful talk, He Xiaofan complained: "You are much older than our Gu Chen. If you ask Gu Chen to call you Jiumei, isn't that taking advantage of him?"
"Whatever is cheap or not, isn't it just a pen name? If brother Gu Chen doesn't get used to it, you can call me Miss Jiu. Is that okay?"
Jiumei changed her serious face just now and became more easy-going while chatting with Gu Chen.
At this time, the cute waiter brought two cups of coffee and gently placed them in front of the two of them: "You two little brothers, here are the coffees you want."
"Thank you." Gu Chen took the coffee and nodded his thanks.
Seeing that Gu Chen was so polite, the cute waiter put the tray behind her and hesitated for a few seconds. Then she leaned into Gu Chen's ear and asked, "Brother, I think you are very handsome. Can I take a photo with you?"
?”
"This..." Gu Chen turned around and saw that the cute girl waiter was already putting on a cute look.
With his lips curled up, his appearance was very charming, making it hard for people to refuse.
Gu Chen could only smile and nod: "Okay."
"Thank you." Upon hearing this, the cute girl quickly took out her cat-ear mobile phone, leaned next to Gu Chen, pouted, and made a cute scissors-hands expression.
"Crack!"
After the photo was taken, the cute girl smiled politely, then hurried to several female colleagues, dancing excitedly, as if she had won the lottery.
He Xiaofan saw all this and burst into laughter and said, "It seems that Gu Chen is very popular with girls."
Jiu Mei, who was a little jealous, was unhappy and quickly interrupted the conversation: "Stop talking nonsense, now that He Xiaofan is here, our screenwriting team has also arrived, now let's talk about the production team that will be received later.
"
Jiumei is like the housekeeper of this team, managing all coordination matters.
She adjusted her glasses, opened the information book, and then introduced to everyone: "The producer who will be coming later is a relatively powerful production team from the Magic City."
"The literary planner and literary director will be here later. They mainly want to discuss the topic selection and copyright issues with us."
"They recently purchased some literary rights and want to find a team of screenwriters to cooperate with and adapt them."
"Because it is a fantasy work, my friends in Shanghai recommended us to them."
"The main reason they came here this time is to communicate with us our opinions on the script writing process. After all, they are in charge of the field of literary planning."
"Literary planning? That's usually a company position." He Xiaofan picked up his coffee and took a sip.
Jiumei nodded slightly and continued: "Their literary planning as a producer is well-known in the industry, and this person named Liao Fan has worked as a planner and editor before. These two positions are to assist screenwriters."
"In addition to understanding the script, he must also be able to relate to the entire market environment. He must provide advice to the screenwriter on the parts he does not understand. He is also an important communication channel between the chief screenwriter and the producer."
Throwing the information to He Xiaofan, who was late, Jiumei lay on the sofa, picked up her coffee and continued to introduce:
"The editor-in-chief is more of a signature position of some staff members on the platform. The company will also have editor-in-chief, which overlaps with the work of literary planning."
"Generally speaking, editors do basic review and communication work, and editors signed by platforms are more focused on administrative docking and technical review."
"And this Liao Fan is not only very good at these things, but as a literary planner, he is also the script director."
"He also serves as script director?" He Xiaofan frowned slightly when he heard this.
Gu Chen asked him curiously: "Is the script director very good?"
"Well, how should I put it?" He Xiaofan pursed his lips and couldn't help but said: "Generally speaking, script director is also a key position that has only emerged in recent years."
"This function is usually to guide the screenwriter on how to create. Generally, it means that the screenwriter lacks experience and invites a powerful senior screenwriter to provide script guidance."
"In fact, he is more of a check on the direction, which is equivalent to... you go wherever I tell you to go. He has great power, similar to a script doctor."
"Oh, so that's it? Then I understand." Gu Chen nodded slightly, but still asked with doubts: "But I see that you don't seem happy. Don't you want to meet the script doctor?"
"No." He Xiaofan put down his coffee, turned around and said to Gu Chen: "In fact, in this kind of position, it is easy to conflict with us when signing works, which is what we often call signature infringement."
"Signature infringement?" Gu Chen seemed to have heard He Xiaofan talk about it when he was in the grocery store.
He Xiaofan nodded silently and said unabashedly: "There are many rights protection actions related to script creation on the Internet, such as fighting for authorship rights, competing for authorship positions, competing for signatures, etc., etc., and they are actually very complicated."
"Take a complex project as an example, a bumpy project with multiple rounds of reconstruction, there will often be disputes over signatures."
"Who has a higher contribution rate? Who should enjoy a more significant authorship? There are often unclear disputes over 'infringement' between the chief screenwriter and the screenwriter, and between the editor-in-chief and the screenwriter."
"As for projects that are led by creation, everyone needs to discuss a ranking based on the results, and try to reflect everyone's work."
"To this end, we generally adhere to two principles, one is to measure by final contribution, and the other is to respect the order of priority."
"But if the several drafts of the script are all efforts in a better direction, then they must be considered in terms of core contributions."
"Those who have made significant contributions to the overall structure, character setting and key plots will be signed first."
"But on this basis, there must be a first-come, first-served basis. During the project development process, the person who comes first may not be in the right direction, but it is still a necessary trial and error process."
"I don't like the situation where as long as someone has participated or written a draft, they will be signed regardless of how much the draft is used."
Seeing that Gu Chen seemed to understand, He Xiaofan added: "Because this will have two consequences. The first is that it is unfair to the person who has contributed the most. In this case, he may not be ranked first."
"Secondly, the contributions of people who are signed as screenwriters at the same time are not balanced. This will lead to a situation where screenwriters with less contribution value will take on the next project. As a result, their ability will be insufficient, causing the project to be stranded. Irregular signatures will actually have a negative impact on the entire project.
The impact on the industry is huge.”
"As for this script director, it largely depends on his character, because he has great power and will modify your script at any time, or make magical changes to your script. Not to mention his signature, whether he can get paid according to the contract is up to him.
The question is, if you’re not afraid, who is he afraid of?”
