Chapter 90 The Finished Product After Much Hard Work (×) Draft (√)

Pu Jie didn't really care about how his work was adapted.

After all, he didn't think his work was that good and there were many NTR poisonous plots. It was good enough if the screenwriter could adapt it without being poisonous and let people watch it.

Of course, it had to pass the review.

Otherwise he would be very excited!

"Ahem! What are you thinking about? Neiku Film and Television is a serious website, not a domestic brand like Jingdong, Tianmei, or Guojelly."

On the other hand, after Pu Jie agreed, Fu Weng went to draft a contract.

The contract stated that if the quality of the first three episodes of the script was good, half of the deposit would be paid in advance.

When he followed the crew to shoot later, there was also a labor fee of 100,000 yuan.

Producer Yang Chao gave him 500,000 yuan for adapting the script, and he only quoted Pu Jie 400,000 yuan.

Originally, Fu Weng wanted to take the 100,000 yuan, after all, this was also the operation of the old employees of the TV station, but thinking of Pu Bian's deep understanding of justice and reducing his salary to join the crew, he slapped himself twice and gave the money to Pu Bian in the form of labor fees for following the crew.

Suddenly, he felt that he was much more noble.

"But it's still a little short of Pu Bian's realm."

Pu Jie didn't know that Fu Weng had so much inner drama. He only thought about how to earn the 400,000 yuan.

It would definitely not work if he just wrote randomly.

He's not stupid.

If the first three episodes don't pass the script, he will become a clown.

The main reason why Pu Jie took this script was that it was summer vacation, there were no classes in school, and his roommates had all left. He had more time, so it was not bad to make a script after writing a book.

"Give it a try. According to my level, I will adapt it to whatever level I can."

The biggest difference between a script and a novel is that a script is an audio-visual language, and the content must be expressed by scenes, actions, and dialogues, while a novel is a text language, which can be expressed by inner drama, emotional fluctuations, and some metaphors, but these cannot be put in a TV series, otherwise the protagonist will always rely on inner monologues to drive the plot and it will be awkward!

If you want to change a novel into a script, you must cut out the inner activities and emotions that the online novel author is best at, and abandon the verbose writing, and convert it into a concise lens language to be qualified.

Of course, the truth here cannot be explained in one or two sentences. Fortunately, Pu Jie has learned his professional courses well, and Wang Xiang occasionally gives him individual guidance. The principles and applications are all OK.

As for the novel "Rural Rogue Doctor", there are many rural languages ​​and dialogues, which are very down-to-earth and suitable for this 40-episode long TV series. There is no need to change it much. Pu Jie mainly changes the way of advancing the plots in the novel into the language of the lens.

It's a bit difficult, but you can give it a try.

Pu Jie's biggest advantage is that he still remembers the pictures of constructing these stories in his mind, and he knows which point of each story is the most interesting.

Just when Pu Jie was about to freeze his hands, Fu Weng took a photo of the draft contract and asked him to see if there was anything that could be changed.

Pu Jie glanced at it casually, there was no problem, and then he saw the title of the play.

"Wait. What is the name of this play?"

""Rural Love", oh! The producer changed it because he was afraid that the original book title would not pass the review. Is there a problem?"

"Oh no, no."

It's a big problem!

Pu Jie remembered a very famous TV series with the same name in his previous life. It was really popular all over the country!

It spread the life of rural Northeast China to the whole country!

It is a TV series every year during the Lunar New Year. It dominates the charts as soon as it comes out, and its popularity remains high.

Pu Jie used to think that this kind of drama was not good at all. It was too rustic and must be watched by old people.

Then, one day when he was eating, he really didn't know what to watch, so he just clicked in and took a look.

I fell in love with it!

It's too good to watch!

I can't stop watching it at all!

From then on, this drama became his best weapon for eating. He must watch it when eating. He watched all 13 episodes several times.

"Wow. How come I see this name in this world?"

Suddenly, Pu Jie's eyes lit up.

He seemed to know how to change it!

After Pu Jie wrote diligently for a week.

Fu Weng got the script of the first three episodes in his hand, washed his hands, and started to read it.

The script of the first three episodes tells the first story: Fairy Trap: Guanyin Sending Children.

The first story is told again in the form of a script.

Liu Ergou is the protagonist, but other villagers in Taohua Village also make an appearance.

The script retains the curiosity of the story, and the completion is very good. It is not as dark as the original novel. Instead, it is like a farce created by the desperate Hu Zi himself, and then the plot of Hu Zi's mother's cancer, as well as the village chief of Taohua Village, Wang Guafu and others, seems to have revealed a mysterious corner of Taohua Village, and it is full of expectations.

Overall, it is like reading the novel again.

After reading it several times, Fu Weng applauded!

"Good! Good! This is the embodiment of the screenwriter's ability to reach the pinnacle. No tricks are better than tricks. The original story is good enough. Extra changes will only destroy the story. Turning it into a lens language is the best answer Pu Bian gave me!"

"He used this script to tell me what it means to rule by doing nothing! This is confidence in one's own work!"

"Now in our industry, many screenwriters look down on novelists. They make extensive adaptations of other people's works and add a few broken online jokes into them, thinking that they can get applause. In fact, they destroy the overall environment created by the author and lose the soul! Sure enough, only the original author understands his own work best!"

"This 500,000 yuan is not wasted!"

But he took a closer look and found that it was a bit rough, and some scenes were not fully completed.

After thinking for a moment, Fu Weng slapped his thigh!

understood!

This is a semi-finished product. I just let him take a look at the first draft, and if he is satisfied, he will complete other small parts.

I cautiously called Pu Bian and explained my questions.

Pu Jie was silent for a moment and replied: "Yes, that's right."

"I knew it! There must be no problem with the content. Editor Pu will improve the script and we can formally sign the contract."

Pu Jie hung up the phone.

What a fart!

This is already the finished product that he wrote with all his heart and soul!

He read it several times, but he couldn't see where the completion of his script was not high enough.

"It's broken, it's broken. We've reached a level bottleneck. What can we do? Even after signing the contract, we still have to conflict with the team in the later stage. It would be nice if someone could help."

Um?

Pu Jie suddenly thought of two people.

"professional team!"

Immediately, he dialed Zhang Wei's phone: "Screenwriter Zhang, have you and Screenwriter Wang done any work recently?"

Zhang Wei: "Oh, we are working on our own original script!"

"Are you interested in helping me with the script?"

Zhang Wei sighed: "Editor Pu, we two brothers have made enough guns over the years, and now we are not too young. It is time to start our own business. We are very confident that we can sell this script. It is really good." Excuse me."

Pu Jie: "100,000 per person, plus signature rights."

Wang Jin grabbed the phone: "Go to Beiyi University tomorrow and ask the guest house to prepare instant noodles. I love Laotan pickled cabbage!"

Then, Pu Jie heard the sound of packing things over there.

It seems that he is about to leave.

Pu Jie sighed: "Money is such a good thing."

the next day.

Pu Jie handed the three-episode script to the two people who came from the company and asked them to perfect it before leaving.

The two took the script and read it over.

Looking at each other.

"The story is okay, but the script is a bit rough."

"The scene construction and transitions are still a bit immature."

"Is this the level of Pubian?"

"I don't see it."

The two of them pondered for a moment, then patted their foreheads and understood!

"This is Pu's draft! It was written as an essay. The main content is already there, but the rest of the improvement work is too low-end and he is too lazy to do it."

"That's for sure! Otherwise, with Pu Bian's level, we wouldn't be needed."

"Does such a simple job have the right to authorize? This is the realm of Pu editors!"

Wang Jin and Zhang Wei's eyes were filled with tears. This was the first time for the two brothers to take the initiative to give them the right of signature in so many years of work.

"We must take things seriously and give Pu Bian an explanation!"

Now, Pu Jie is happy!

As long as the scripts of the first three episodes have been revised, the two of them will be given the follow-up ideas and asked to follow the "Country Love" model for the remaining 37 episodes.

He was directly out of the sea of ​​suffering!

Earn 300,000 from blood!

"I also became a script dumper once?"

But he has no psychological burden, because this is for the good of the crew!

After that, there is no problem if two people join the group.

The question is that I am busy with official duties, and I have to control the overall situation. It is enough for my younger brother to come in.

"Writing a script is too difficult, but it's more fun to write a novel."

As expected, Pu Jie's book was released on August 1st and received 50 first orders!

It made Xiaoxing’s nose crooked with anger!

He feels like his career has been challenged!

Then we urgently pushed the book to new media and WeChat reading channels.

The person in charge looked at it and shook his head.

"If this book becomes popular on the channel, I will live broadcast eating Lao Ba Burger!"
