ace screenwriter

Not long after the script contract was signed, Gu Yuren approached Yuan Yuan for an electronic draft of the script, and asked him to issue a script authorization letter in the name of the company.Only then did Yuan Yuan know that Gu Yuren's company had already been established, and it was only a week before the script was sold. Gu Yuren's work efficiency was quite high.

When signing the contract, they added WeChat to each other, and Yuan Yuan occasionally greeted Gu Yuren, but did not mention the movie.Making a movie is not a trivial matter, especially when it comes to funding issues. Many movies end up being aborted or anticlimactic due to funding issues before and after the project is approved, and the battle line is stretched indefinitely.It is often heard that some films have been filmed for ten or eight years. To laymen, it sounds like the production team is crafting meticulously, working slowly and meticulously. In fact, this is not always the case. Some of them are due to a shortage of funds. Well, the producers were looking for money everywhere, and some investors lost confidence and withdrew their funds midway, so it took so long to shoot.

Gu Yuren is quite optimistic, he would talk to Yuan Yuan from time to time, and occasionally he would take the initiative to tell him which director he went to meet and how much investment he got.Yuan Yuan knew that he was busy working on the movie, and would cheer him up every time.

Just when Gu Yuren got one-third of the budget to start the project, news spread that Wang Ruize's studio was planning to shoot the new film "Crouching Dragon", and the topics on Weibo were overwhelming, what epic blockbuster, what over [-] million Investment, and even organized a voting activity for the audience to vote for who would play the leading role. This is Wang Ruize's consistent practice. Video quality.

In the evening, Gu Yuren took the initiative to find Yuan Yuan on WeChat: "Didn't you show Wang Ruize the script of your movie? What does he mean by filming Crouching Dragon at this time?"

When Yuan Yuan saw the news, his heart skipped a beat, because when he and Ke Zhengliang talked about cooperation, he told him the outline of the whole story, and what he was most worried about happened: "I told Ke Zhengliang Could it be that he borrowed the outline of the story of "Hidden Dragon"?"

Gu Yuren said: "That must be it."

Yuan Yuan became anxious when he heard this: "Then what should we do?"

Gu Yuren said: "I haven't thought about it for the time being, and I'll discuss it with the company after I discuss it. By the way, your script should have been registered for copyright protection, right?"

Yuan Yuan said, "It has already been registered."

Gu Yuren said: "Wait until I understand the situation in detail first. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles."

Yuan Yuan was on the verge of going crazy at this moment, Wang Ruize, a bitch, couldn't he have something of his own?If you don't copy, you can't write anything. If you don't copy his Yuan Yuan, he will die?He really had the urge to tear Wang Ruize into pieces.If it was in the past, if he was copied, he would at most knock out his teeth and swallow his blood, but now the script has been sold to Gu Yuren, and he is focused on preparing to shoot this story, but Wang Ruize has already copied it before the filming starts. I just can't bear it!

Soon, Gu Yuren heard back: "I found out that Wang Ruize's script hasn't come out yet, and the project has just been approved. The outline of the story is [-]% similar to your Qianlong. I guess he won't be able to do it in the short term." Shooting, because they want to make a youth film first, and they asked me to be the male lead before, but I rejected it. I decided, he is in the light and we are in the dark, let's set up the project first, hurry up and shoot, and do it quietly, etc. After the filming is over, let’s do some publicity. By then, he’s probably already in the film, and we’ll let him have a taste of it. Anyway, our script has the copyright, and he has nothing to do with it, legally or morally. "

Yuan Yuan was a little surprised by Gu Yuren's actions. This was purely digging a hole for Wang Ruize. He and Wang Ruize shouldn't have any deep hatred. If this happened, Gu Yuren and Wang Ruize would completely tear each other apart. He was a little hesitant. Said: "Is this something wrong?"

Gu Yuren said: "Why, don't you relieve your anger?"

Yuan Yuan smiled wryly: "From my point of view, it's really relieved, but you can't do it, haven't you acted in his movie? If you offend him, it's no good for you. There is Yingsheng behind him. "

Gu Yuren chuckled: "Did you say "Shimmer"? Senior brother, if "Shimmer" was written by Wang Ruize, I would admire and be grateful before it was too late. Why would I dig a hole to bury him? Those who cheat people will always be buried. It's called retribution. As for Yingsheng, if he has the ability to block me, he will let me come here."

Yuan Yuan shook his hand while speaking according to the voice, and sent out a blank message. He didn't expect Gu Yuren to say that. Could it be that he already knew that the script was his own?But even if he knew, there was no need to stand up for himself like this. In the domestic screenwriting circle, this kind of thing couldn't be more common.What is he doing this for?

Gu Yuren's message came again: "Brother, what did you just say? I didn't hear anything, you are too far away from the microphone, speak closer."

Yuan Yuan was embarrassed, so he said: "I made a mistake just now, and I haven't had time to speak yet. Brother Gu, if it's because of me, I appreciate it. You'd better not make too many enemies because of this. After all, I'm not in this circle." People in the circle, even if I don’t belong to the circle, I can live a good life. But you are a person in this circle, and it will have a great influence on you if you don’t see them up and down.” Yuan Yuan felt that he and Wang Ruize You can tear it up however you want, but Gu Yuren doesn't need to lose his future if he commits a crime.

Gu Yuren said: "Brother, don't think about it too much. I am sure it is not all for you. Apart from my sense of justice that has nowhere to rest, it also shows that your script is so well written. I smell a business opportunity. Money doesn't make you bastards! If it affects me, it's true, they've affected my mood now! Make me sick to death. They hate me, shouldn't I fight back and make them respond too Die once?"

Listening to Gu Yuren's words, Yuan Yuan felt that this person was just like a willful child. With such a casual temper, how did he stay in the entertainment industry?People who rely on strength to make a living have confidence. "I don't know how to say it. Anyway, if you think carefully, I won't blame you even if you don't make this movie. I can refund the script fee to you." Although he had already sent half of the money back to his family Pay off the debt, but he can still pay tens of thousands of dollars. It’s better to take a few more private orders. No matter how bad it is, you can earn money by being a gunman for your classmates. If it is less than this money, he just doesn't want to be a shooter.

Gu Yuren said: "Brother, don't worry about this. You have to have some confidence in me. My team and I are definitely not running a house, nor are we using money to play around. Besides, authority is for challenges. The evil forces are also used to overthrow the evil. I believe that evil cannot prevail against good. Truth and justice are on our side. I will not lose. The relationship between Wang Ruize and Yingsheng may not be an indestructible iron relationship, the most unreliable What matters is feelings, and it is human instinct to like the new and dislike the old, one day he likes him, and tomorrow he will like someone else, in case they themselves have internal strife, this is just convenient for us."

Listening to Gu Yuren's last words, Yuan Yuan thought to himself, so he knows everything, that's all, Gu Yuren is not a child, he is an adult, even if he is immature, there is Ning Xiuwu who is as fine as he is. Planning for him, they will definitely not make this movie simply to defend justice.

Within two days, Yuan Yuan was pulled into a WeChat group by Gu Yuren. The group name was "Qianlong Crew". Yuan Yuan saw that besides the producer Gu Yuren and the director Ning Xiuwu, the director was also in place. , and it is the famous director Jiang Szeng. When Yuan Yuan saw Jiang Szeng, he let go of his hanging heart. Unexpectedly, Yuan Yuan was able to invite Jiang Szeng. Jiang Sizeng had filmed several classics. He is one of the few directors who won the best director for a commercial film.Being able to have such an awesome director shoot his own movie is really a high-spirited experience. Yuan Yuan was so excited that the muscles at the corners of his mouth were twitching.

Gu Yuren was the first to applaud in the group, and very rarely typed and said: "Director Jiang, Yuan Yuan is the screenwriter of Qianlong. If there are any deficiencies in the script, you can directly contact him. If you have any opinions, feel free to ask them. Of course, you can't." If you completely overthrow and rewrite a book, that's not the story I want."

Yuan Yuan hurriedly greeted him respectfully: "Hi, Director Jiang! I have long admired your name. I am Yuan Yuan. Please give me your advice."

Jiang Shi once said: "Hello. There are many problems with the script. I can't understand a few sentences. I can call or talk in person. I'm not in Beijing. What's your phone number?"

Yuan Yuan had a bad premonition, but he still said, "I'll give you the phone number of Director Jiang."

"You don't need to call. Boss Gu will reimburse me anyway." Jiang Suzeng is also a very interesting person.

Gu Yuren laughed: "Yes, yes, I will definitely reimburse Director Jiang's phone bill."

Yuan Yuan reported his phone number. He knew that there must be problems with his script, because the screenwriter started from the story itself when writing the script, while the director read the script from the perspective of shooting.Although he had worked with the crew before when he was studying, it was not his own script after all, and he couldn't understand the specific details. This time, it was going to be a real battle, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Jiang Sizeng called soon. He is a southerner, and his Mandarin is not very standard, but he can still understand him. He made a lot of requests to Yuan Yuan, for example, the plot design in some places he thinks is not reasonable. , needs to be redesigned; some unnecessary lines can be completely deleted; some characters that only appear once, if not particularly necessary, can be replaced by the same person who has already appeared in the scene, and so on.

Yuan Yuan wrote down all Director Jiang's requests, some of which he agreed to change, and some that could not be changed, he argued with Director Jiang, explaining the reasons for such writing. In fact, Yuan Yuan only took one month to write the script of "Qianlong", but he revised it repeatedly for a year, trying his best to make the plot as clear as possible and the lines concise, so Gu Yuren was attracted by it after reading it.But when he came to the director, he felt that some scenes could be completely deleted: "You have to know how to leave blank space, don't tell everything thoroughly, let the readers interpret and think, so that there is something interesting."

Yuan Yuan was right after thinking about it: "Okay, I will think about it carefully so that the context can be connected."

Jiang Shui once said: "You can sort it out according to my request, the story is generally not bad."

Jiang Sizeng's last sentence made Yuan Yuan elated, but he quickly added another sentence: "It's just that the concept of the story is not good enough, and the depth of thought is not enough. But it doesn't matter, the story is good enough, and the audience mainly wants to watch the fun. "

Yuan Yuan nodded quickly: "Okay, thank you Director Jiang for your guidance."

"Change it first, and when I return to Beijing, ask the main creators of the crew to discuss the script together." Jiang seemed to drop this sentence.

Yuan Yuan thought to himself, as the teacher said, the finished script is still only a semi-finished product. The script will not be considered complete until the film is completely completed, because most of it still needs to be revised during filming.He got Jiang Sizeng's order and hurried to revise the script.Fortunately, Jiang Shizeng at least affirmed the story, and did not allow the overthrow to rewrite it.
