Chapter 1536 Negotiation
If you are familiar with mainland TV dramas in the 1980s and 1990s, and know the cooperation experience of Wang Shuo and Ge You, you should have roughly guessed it by now.
That's right.
The TV series prepared by Yin Jun is "The Story of the Editorial Department"!
This TV series made Wang Shuo truly enter the ranks of great screenwriters and brought Feng Buck Ya into the field of comedy. It was also a miracle when it was broadcast that year.
Not only did the ratings explode, but many of the stories in it caused people to reflect.
Even after more than 20 years, when Yin Jun read it again, he felt that the insinuations contained in it were still current.
Wang Shuo also has this bad temper. He likes to express his novels and scripts in a ridiculing way, but if you taste the content carefully, it is full of taste.
To put it simply, it is heartbreaking.
If you don't believe me, go watch "Personalized". Many people say it is a bad movie, but there are many thought-provoking things in it.
"The Story of the Editorial Department" was of course not written by Wang Shuo alone. In addition to him, there were also Feng Buck Ya, Director Ma and others, all of whom were celebrities in the capital's cultural circle.
Everyone got together, told the story, discussed it, and checked for any gaps, so there was enough space for one episode.
This was after Wang Shuo became famous.
Today's Wang Shuo has not developed his confidence and momentum. He is a little immature and may not be able to meet Yin Jun's requirements.
That's why Wei Xiaofan told him to organize people to fill in the script together.
In this life, writing "The Story of the Editorial Department" is much easier than in the previous life.
Yin Jun not only set up and selected the characters of the six main protagonists: Li Dongbao, Ge Ling, Yu Deli, Liu Shuyou, Sister Liu, and Editor Chen, but also gave the general storyline, and even made Zhang Guoli In this way, the celebrities who come to the scene are also determined.
Basically, what Wang Shuo and the others have to do is to make the story more full and interesting, and more like Beijing.
After all, Yin Jun is not from Huajing. Some of the content may sound interesting, but it is still a bit difficult for Yin Jun to actually write it.
This is no better than the TV series and movies in Xiangjiang. Yin Jun has watched hundreds of those movies and TV shows, and he has been influenced by them all.
"The Story of the Editorial Department" has six protagonists, but the three most outstanding ones are Li Dongbao, Ge Ling and Yu Deli.
Li Dongbao is naturally Uncle Ge, and Yu Deli and Yin Jun are also planning to find Mr. Hou to star, because he has solid skills and rich acting experience, so he is very suitable.
But Ge Ling is not going to use Aunt Lu.
Although she has not been led astray by Lao Sun in this life, and she is good friends with Wen Bixia and knows Yin Jun, but at such a young age, she cannot support the role of Ge Ling.
Ge Ling, a super character destined to be remembered by the audience for decades, Yin Jun decided to give it to Zhong Chuhong.
Although Ge Ling is a serious Huajing woman, this time Yin Jun did "The Story of the Editorial Department" and did not completely follow the original version.
In his opinion, the editorial office was full of Huajing people. At best, it would be more attractive to northerners, but southerners would be somewhat less interested.
This is just like "The Foreign Wife, the Local Man", which has been broadcast in eastern Guangdong for more than ten years and has become very popular. Northerners, including people from the three southwestern provinces, shouted that they could not understand it and were not very interested.
Xiangjiang culture is different, because many of its creators were originally cultural figures from Shanghai, Huajing, and their disciples, so it is very inclusive and people from all over the world like to see it.
So Yin Jun simply adapted Ge Ling's character into a female editor in Hong Kong.
Isn't it because "Guide to the World" cannot keep up with the times and is difficult in all aspects?
Then hire a female editor from Xiangjiang and let her try to collide with everyone to see if there is a spark of thinking that can save the magazine.
On the one hand, this can allow the thoughts of the North and the South to collide, and it can also allow the thoughts of overseas and mainland China to confront each other, so that there will be more conflicts and highlights for the audience to watch with gusto.
Among the actresses in Xiangjiang, it is not difficult to find an actress with temperament, but it is a bit difficult to find a female star with a cheerful and generous temperament, who is different at first sight, and who is not out of tune with the atmosphere in the mainland.
Zhong Chuhong is naturally the best candidate in Yin Jun's heart.
Because her face is so international.
Even 40 years later, if you look at Zhong Chuhong's face again, it is absolutely beautiful, and it cannot be compared to those women with small and tapered faces.
Originally, with Zhong Chuhong's celebrity status, it was impossible for her to perform on the small screen again.
But if Yin Jun asked her to come, she would definitely follow her boyfriend's wishes. What's more, coming to the mainland to film is also a very good experience, and she regarded it as gaining more experience.
Yin Jun mentioned this to her as early as August. After Zhong Chuhong agreed, in recent months, in addition to filming her own movies, she also worked hard to practice her Mandarin, hoping to speak it fluently. Be more fluent.
In fact, there is no need to worry about this. Zhong Chuhong, including all Yin Jun's women, sometimes speak Mandarin when talking to him, so they are not strangers in the first place.
Moreover, Yin Jun also specifically told her that it is perfectly fine for you to speak Mandarin so that you can communicate with everyone during off-screen discussions.
But when you are in the play, you should speak Mandarin that you are not very proficient in. Mandarin with a bit of Cantonese accent is the most suitable for your identity and can have the best effect in the play.
Don't underestimate this "Mandarin with an Eastern Cantonese accent". Everyone should be able to speak it stammeringly.
But how to stutter a little, how to finish the sentence completely, and still let people roughly understand the meaning, this is a test of the speaker's pronunciation and expression ability, all of which need to be practiced.
For example, in the future, those traffic-savvy niche students who actually use numbers like 1234567 to replace lines they can't remember will get slapped in this era.
Come back to the present.
Hearing that he was going to play the leading role in this TV series, Ge You's eyes were so wide that he seemed a bit scary at first glance.
This time, Wang Shuo reacted and hit his leg with his knee, "Why are you still standing there? Thank you Brother Wei for the promotion!"
Regardless of whether Wei Xiaofan's words were a slip of the tongue or not, it's best to agree immediately.
Even if he fails in the end, Wei Xiaofan will remember the unkindness of his joke this time and give Ge You a chance next time.
What's more, this doesn't look like a slip of the tongue at all. Can a big shot like Wei Xiaofan just say the wrong thing in a joke?
Ge You opened his mouth, but suppressed his blush, and didn't say any foul words for a long time.
"Haha, don't be surprised, this is Ajun's decision." Wei Xiaofan said, "He has seen your drama sketch performance and feels that you have a strong sense of comedy, so this role is tailor-made for you."
"Ah? Mr. Jun has seen my performance?" Ge You was surprised and happy, and of course more ecstatic.
Since I’ve seen his performance and it’s tailor-made, how could I make a mistake?
"Well, he said that when he came to Huajing last time, he went to the theater to watch a few drama sketches, including yours." Wei Xiaofan said, "But I think your image is more suitable for playing a traitor? "
Ge You showed an honest smile, "I was put off by my appearance. Who told my mother to look like this when I was born? I have long heard of Master Jun's way of looking at people. Yes, I am sure. That’s right! I’m the best candidate for a positive role!”
Overjoyed, Ge You was no longer as restrained as before.
Wang Shuo laughed when he saw this, "I wrote a script for you to act in, right? Yuko, you have to flatter me, or you'll see how I deal with you!"
"Go, go, the general direction has been arranged by Young Master Jun. You are just checking for leaks and filling in the gaps. How can you ruin my glorious image?" Ge You glared at him, but she also held the cup with both hands and toasted Wei Xiaofan first. One drink, and then another drink with Wang Shuo.
"Brother Wei, if I take over the screenwriting job for this TV series, will I be responsible for all the remaining screenwriters?" Wang Shuo asked as he put down his glass of wine.
Wei Xiaofan heard what he meant and was about to prepare to take over the job.
This is also obvious.
Yin Jun has already given Ge You the leading role, so if Wang Shuo doesn't take over, he will be sorry for his brother.
People in Huajing take their face very seriously, and Wang Shuo is one of them.
"Well, I'll leave it all to you." Wei Xiaofan said, "But the final review of the script is done by the director and Mr. Gan together, and it needs to meet their requirements before it is completed."
"okay!"
Wang Shuo nodded and smiled.
He didn't have any objections to the review. Of course, it was the boss who had the final say on whether or not you were paid to do something.
Otherwise, how could money be so easy to earn?
He was embarrassed to ask the price, but Wei Xiaofan talked about it first, "Ajun said, life is not easy for those engaged in literature and art in the mainland now, both in terms of living and working conditions. He also hopes to take this opportunity , to train a group of good screenwriters in the mainland, even part-time ones."
After a pause, Wei Xiaofan continued, "In Xiangjiang, the average TV drama script is 10,000-30,000 per episode, and the good ones can be even higher. In the mainland, according to the living standards and prices We have also made adjustments to the standards, including the salary of actors. However, because Arjun is a screenwriter himself, he pays special attention to screenwriters and treats screenwriters differently.
This "Story of the Editorial Department" is planned to be written for a total of 50 episodes. The price for each episode is 5,000, and you will allocate the money yourself. If the ratings of the broadcast are high, there will be some rewards. What do you think? Still satisfied? "
"Satisfied! Satisfied! Young Master Jun is so good!!" Wang Shuo clapped his hands excitedly, "I, Old Wang, must be the best in writing, and I will live up to Young Master Jun's love for me!"
What a joke!
Now the average salary in Huajing is only about 80-100, and 5,000 per episode is equivalent to someone else's fifty or sixty months' salary.
If you complete fifty episodes, it will be enough to buy two or three courtyard houses in Huajing. If it is a little more remote, you can add one or two more without any problem!
He, Wang Shuo, worked hard for several years to save 20,000 yuan, and then quickly lost money in business. Now that 250,000 yuan is placed in front of him, how can he not be tempted?
For a time, Wang Shuo attached great importance to the script of "The Story of the Editorial Department".
This is still the beginning!
If he has written this story, then if Mr. Jun wants to find someone to fill in the script, won't he have to look for himself?
I'm going to post it!
In the future, let’s see who dares to say that I’m cheating on my parents, that I’m still living off my parents at such an old age!
I want them to know that I, Wang Shuo, am also a well-known man. I can make a household worth ten thousand yuan on my own... no, become a millionaire! !
Thinking of the scene when he returned home in fine clothes, Wang Shuo's big mouth opened into a smile.
