Chapter 464 Refining the Script

In the afternoon, Tan Yue came to the TV series department with the script of "Baolian Lantern".

The TV series department is on the 56th floor of Chang'an Building, and like the original program department, it occupies a floor alone.

Tan Yue walked in the corridor of the TV series department. Many staff members who passed by saw Tan Yue and greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Tan."

"Hello, Mr. Tan."

"Mr. Tan."

Tan Yue's popularity and prestige in the company are already quite high, and he is very popular with the company's employees.

For example, in the TV series department, although Tan Yue made little contribution to the TV series department, he made great contributions to the company and promoted the development of Brilliant Entertainment Company, which made the employees of the TV series department stand up straight when they walked outside.

Tan Yue is a person who has made great contributions to the entire company, so he has also won the support of some TV series department staff.

Tan Yue smiled and nodded. He rarely came to the TV series department. He had only come once before, when he was the director of the program department. That time, the program department had a joint event with the TV series department, and Tan Yue came to find Qian Tao, and almost had a cold shoulder from Qian Tao.

It has only been a year since he last came to this floor.

But in this short period of one year, he came here again, no longer as the director of other departments, but as the leader of the company's vice president.

Following the route in his memory, Tan Yue quickly found the office of Qian Tao, the director of the TV series department.

In fact, the format of each floor of Chang'an Building is similar, and the location of the office is not much different.

The location of Qian Tao's director's office on this floor is roughly the same as that of Tan Yue's director's office in the program department.

And along the way, some staff members felt that Tan Yue seemed to be looking for Qian Tao, so they introduced him to Tan Yue.

When he came to Qian Tao's office, Tan Yue heard the sound of footsteps pacing back and forth inside the door.

After staying outside the door for a long time, Qian Tao raised his hand and knocked on the door of the office three times.

Soon, a voice came from inside the office.

Qian Tao's slightly sharp voice sounded, "Come in."

Tan Yue smiled lightly, pushed open the door of Qian Tao's office, and entered the office. He saw Qian Tao with his hands behind his back, looking out the window with a somewhat bleak and melancholy back.

His skinny figure, at this moment, has a special charm.

Qian Tao was originally indifferent, but when he heard the sound of the door being pushed, he turned his head subconsciously and took a look. He was shocked and almost jumped off the glass of the fifty-story building.

Qian Tao hurried over and patted his chest hard, with a lingering fear on his face.

"Mr. Tan, why are you here?" Qian Tao walked in front of Tan Yue and said a little stiffly.

Although Tan Yue looked young, he was his boss after all, Qian Tao's immediate boss.

Before, he was worried that he had no way to get to know Tan Yue, but he didn't expect that Tan Yue would take the initiative to come to his door.

This time is an opportunity, mainly indicating that he, a former minister of Qi Kai, can ease the relationship with Tan Yue.

Recently, the director of the film department Zheng Tong and the director of the TV series department Qian Tao are most worried about offending the newly appointed vice president.

Although they did not openly oppose Tan Yue, they had a close relationship with the former vice president, and many people knew that the relationship between Mr. Tan and Qi Kai was quite tense. As Qi Kai's old subordinate, wouldn't it be the end of him when Mr. Tan was in power?

Now there is a chance to restore the relationship with Tan Yue, which must be the most important thing.

"Mr. Tan."

Qian Tao bent slightly and looked at Tan Yue with a bright smile, with an extremely respectful and respectful attitude.

Tan Yue smiled and nodded, greeted Qian Tao, and the two came to Qian Tao's desk to rest.

But Qian Tao's eyes were always staring at what Tan Yue was holding in his hand.

It was a notebook-like thing. Qian Tao heard that someone saw Tan Yue writing in a small notebook while eating.

At that time, some people were speculating what this small notebook that Tan Yue had been writing was.

In the end, no one knew what it was.

Qian Tao guessed that it might be a script. The last time he went to see Tan Yue, Tan Yue said he wanted to shoot a drama.

After that, there was no follow-up. Qian Tao thought that Tan Yue was just talking, but according to Tan Yue's character, he should not be a person who speaks without thinking.

The two sat on both sides of the desk.

Tan Yue put the script in his hand on the table and said to Qian Tao: "Mr. Qian, this is a TV drama script I wrote recently, but it is still a bit rough and needs to be polished by the screenwriters in our department."

Hearing what Tan Yue said, the small book was indeed a script. Qian Tao nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Tan, I will give this script to the best screenwriter in our department right away."

Qian Tao patted his chest to promise his leader.

Tan Yue smiled and said: "How about this, Mr. Qian, I will go with you. If the screenwriters have any questions, they can ask me directly."

Qian Tao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Tan Yue to be so concerned about this script. He nodded and said: "Okay, Mr. Tan, will you come with me now?"

Tan Yue smiled and said: "Okay."

The two walked out of the director's office and came to the office hall of the TV drama department under the leadership of Qian Tao.

Qian Tao was timid in front of Tan Yue and couldn't move freely, but now he was standing in the office hall of the TV series department, and he was indeed very stylish. His dark and thin body had a strong aura, which made Tan Yue look at him sideways.

Qian Tao put one hand in his pocket, stood behind Tan Yue, looked around, and then called out the names.

After calling out the names, he said to go to Conference Room No. 1 for a meeting.

Then, Qian Tao carefully accompanied Tan Yue to Conference Room No. 1.

"Mr. Tan, the few people I just called are all the best screenwriters in our department. The excellent TV series that our company has shot in the past were almost all written by these people."

Tan Yue smiled and went to the conference room with Qian Tao.

Although the TV series department has not produced any hit TV series before, it has also produced some TV series with good reputation.

The screenwriters in the department are also of good level. He has also heard of the reputation of the few people Qian Tao just called.

Arriving at the conference room, Qian Tao arranged Tan Yue to sit in the first seat, and he sat down beside him.

The two chatted, and before they had said a few words, five screenwriters arrived one after another.

Seeing Tan Yue and Qian Tao, they all greeted them.

Among these screenwriters, three middle-aged people were probably over 40 years old, including two men and one woman. There were also two young people who looked younger, but they were also about 30 years old.

The screenwriter industry also requires experience.

Even if people who have just entered the industry have talent, it is difficult to make good results, unless they catch up with the opportunity, otherwise, they still have to work hard.

Tan Yue smiled and nodded. Before Qian Tao could speak, Tan Yue looked at everyone and said, "Hello, teachers, I have a TV script here, and I want everyone to help take a look."

As Tan Yue said this, he took out the script of "Baolian Lantern" and put it on the table.

It has not been copied yet. After talking with these screenwriters, I will make a few more copies of the script of "Baolian Lantern".

After hearing what Tan Yue said, several screenwriters couldn't help but be stunned. Is Mr. Tan going to make a TV series?

They knew that Tan Yue was talented in variety shows and music, but the relationship between TV series, variety shows and music was not very big.

Can Mr. Tan also play it?

However, no matter what the script that Tan Yue took out was, they had to take a look. The work assigned by the leader had to be completed no matter what.

"Okay, Mr. Tan."

"No problem."

"Yeah."

The five people gathered together and began to read the script of "Baolian Lantern".

Tan Yue said: "I haven't copied this script yet, but now several teachers will take a look to see if there are any problems. If there are no major problems, I will ask someone to copy it."

After Tan Yue finished speaking, several excellent screenwriters nodded, and then began to read the script seriously.

The story of "Baolian Lantern" is not difficult, on the contrary, it is quite simple and easy to read.

Because of the simplicity of the plot, even if the time is short, the screenwriters can easily get into the story.

As he watched, one of the screenwriters frowned. The simplicity of the story can be said to be a good thing or a bad thing.

The simplicity of the story allows the audience to simply understand the context of the story, so that they will not be confused.

But there is another problem, that is, the story line is too thin, and its connotation will be very shallow.

Just like some movies, the finished film is three or four hours long. The main purpose of the various story lines is to express the meaning of the creator or director and some meaning of life.

A good story can teach people something.

Once the story is too simple, the quality of its connotation will be greatly reduced, and it cannot be given a sublimated side.

So far, several screenwriters unanimously believe that this story is good. If it is filmed like this, the ratings should not be bad. The protagonist Chenxiang splits the mountain to save his mother, and many viewers will like to watch it.

However, if the story line is just splitting the mountain to save his mother, then this story will be difficult to sublimate, and the meaning conveyed is not obvious.

Several screenwriters exchanged glances with each other, and they all meant the same thing.

Then, continue to read down, but as they read, they found that things were not as simple as they had imagined before.

At this point in the script, it has not been revealed that Erlang Shen is actually a good person, but the screenwriters are all experienced guys, and they are very clear about some details in the script.

For example, here, Erlang Shen urges the Lotus Lantern to fight with Chenxiang and his people.

But the script said earlier that the Lotus Lantern is a spiritual object that appeared at the beginning of the world, and only the power of kindness can use it, so why can a big villain like Erlang Shen use it?

This is not simple, there is a problem, and several senior editors have such a guess in their hearts.

However, although they have already guessed in their hearts, when they saw that Erlang Shen was actually enduring humiliation and sacrificing everything for himself, they also wanted to modify the rules of heaven and benefit the three realms, and they felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.

The only female screenwriter had some tears in her eyes at this moment.

"Good."

The five screenwriters who finished reading the script couldn't help but praise it together.

After reading the script, they thought back and realized that what impressed them most was not the role of the protagonist Chenxiang, but the part about Yang Jian.

It turns out that this script does not only have one main plot. In addition to the plot of Chenxiang splitting the mountain to save his mother, there is also the branch plot of Erlang Shen. In the eyes of several screenwriters, the importance of this branch plot is not lower than the main plot, and it is even higher.

Next to him, Qian Tao looked at the screenwriters who said yes in unison, and a look of surprise flashed across his face.

He could see that these people were not flattering, but really praising.

But is this script really that good? Qian Tao was very puzzled.

Is Tan Yue really an all-rounder? Some people have a talent in variety shows or music, which is rare. Tan Yue has both, and now he wants to show his talent in TV dramas?

Qian Tao couldn't help swallowing his saliva, looking at the people opposite him. Without waiting for Tan Yue to ask, he asked anxiously, "What do you think of this script? What's its potential?"

One of the middle-aged male screenwriters with a flat head and square face said, "Mr. Qian, this is a good script, especially the second half of the script, which is completely sublimated. Such a Yang Jian will definitely win a large number of fans."

"If it's just the first half of the script, it's also very good. The plot is interesting and smooth, not worse than the several good dramas our company has shot before. It's the kind of high-quality script we should pay a high price to buy."

"And in the second half of the story, with the whitewashing of the biggest villain in the play, the quality of this script instantly improved significantly."

"Such a script is something we can't buy even if we have money."

The male screenwriter's face was full of admiration. After he finished speaking, the other four screenwriters nodded in agreement.

Qian Tao didn't expect that these people would give such a high evaluation of Tan Yue's script.

The screenwriters present here are not the newly recruited rookie screenwriters in the company, but excellent screenwriters who are really well-known in the circle and have made more than one TV series with good ratings.

And now this script called "Baolian Lantern" can actually make these people praise it.

"Ah this," Qian Tao didn't know what to say for a while, and was tongue-tied for a while, then turned to look at Tan Yue and excitedly praised: "Mr. Tan, you are a great talent!"

Tan Yue was in a good mood at first, and after listening to the words of several screenwriters, he wanted to discuss it again.

Unexpectedly, Qian Tao opened his mouth and made Tan Yue not know how to continue.

Although he knew that Qian Tao was flattering, this flattery caught him off guard.

Tan Yue coughed lightly, glanced at Qian Tao, and then smiled at several screenwriters: "Teachers, if you think there are any problems with this script, you can tell me directly and then modify it. This script is still very rough at present. Any good script is successful after being revised again and again."
