Chapter 223 Second Creation!

After a long time, Chen Dong put down the script and said to Hu Yibo, "The script is not bad. There are many elements that attract the audience, such as funny, bizarre, romantic, love, and funny lines popular on the Internet. Popular, but the script still has many deficiencies, for example, the character characteristics are not outstanding, and the sense of presence is weak!

For example, in the script, the character of Guo Lin, one of the male protagonists, is sensitive, single-minded, nosy, and afraid to face his own feelings. He feels that his character is very ordinary and he lacks a sense of presence in the play. However, If you add some irrelevant shortcomings to Guo Lin, make him look handsome and cool, and then magnify and highlight the handsomeness and coolness, and add some weird and exaggerated facial expressions, gestures, and repeated lines, like this, The role of Guo Lin is easily remembered by the audience in the play and has a strong sense of presence, so the role of Guo Lin comes alive. "

After reading this script, Chen Dong thought of Yuan Shikong's "Love Apartment", which became a huge hit in the Mainland.

Since Ai 1 landed on Xijiang Satellite TV, its funny and humorous style has been very popular. Its popularity in China is no less than that of the hit American drama "Friends". popular with more people.

Afterwards, Love 3 and Love 4 are known as the "No. 3 God-defying drama in the world". This series has more than 10 billion hits on the Internet in [-] years. The iQi/Yi also ranked first in the TV drama list.

The content of the script in my hand is somewhat similar to "Love Apartment". It is also a comedy sitcom, and it is also a few urban fashion men and women living in an apartment. The selling points are all kinds of funny, bizarre, romantic, and love.

After listening to Chen Dong's wonderful comments on the script, and then pointed out the shortcomings of the script to the point, Hu Yibo admired Chen Dong from the bottom of his heart.

"However, this script has many shortcomings. If I buy it, I need to make a major revision. The main revision is the character characteristics of the characters in the play, highlighting the existence of the characters and making the characters in the play easier to be remembered by the audience. And it is easier to be accepted and loved by the audience, and some novel jokes, popular topics, hot words, etc. on the Internet are added, that is, "secondary creation", no problem." Chen Dong said to Hu Yibo.

"Secondary creation" is very common in the film and television industry. Usually, after the producer buys the script, some plots and lines are added to the script.

However, for the screenwriter, it is difficult for the producer to accept the "secondary creation". First, the director and actors change the play randomly, which is a disrespect for the results of the screenwriter's work.

Second, the "secondary creation" was a failure, and the audience "vomited it". The producer and the director often attribute the flaws in the play to the screenwriter, and let the screenwriter take the blame.

"No problem." Hu Yibo said.

Chen Dong himself is recognized as a top screenwriter in the screenwriting circle, needless to say his screenwriting ability.

Second, Chen Dong clearly pointed out the parts that need to be revised in the script, and he also agreed with it.

"How do you plan to cooperate." Chen Dong said to Hu Yibo.

The value of a script written by a screenwriter can only be reflected on the stage or screen/screen!

As a screenwriter, there are two ways to realize the value of the screenplay, first, to make it yourself, and second, to sell it to those who have the ability to make it.

And selling to those who are capable of filming, screenwriters can get a fixed salary, how much per episode, generally first-line screenwriters 10 yuan per episode, top screenwriters can get 25 yuan per episode.

You can also choose to get a commission. The initial salary accounts for about 1% of the total investment in movies and TV dramas. The other part is profit sharing. Screenwriters can get commissions from the total income from theater screenings, TV broadcasts, and sales of audio-visual products, as well as peripheral industries. .

Chen Dong flipped through the script, there are 22 episodes in total, if Hu Yibo chooses to get a fixed salary, one episode is about 4W, and 22 episodes can get about 80W~100W.

If Hu Yibo chooses to take the commission, based on the production cost of the first season of "Love Is Coming" is 800 million, Hu Yibo can get 8 in the first salary,

If "Love Is Coming" hits the jackpot, you can get at most 10 yuan in the end, which is far from the 100 million yuan that you can get a fixed salary directly.

If "Love Is Coming" becomes popular, the total commission of the TV broadcast, + the commission of peripheral products, add up to several times of 100W.

How to choose depends on whether Hu Yibo is optimistic about the success of "Love Is Coming".

"I choose to take the commission." Hu Yibo said without hesitation.

He is very confident in whether "Love Is Coming" will be popular, and he is even more confident in Chen Dong.

Chen Dong was optimistic about the TV series he was planning to make, so why would he rush? He chose to get a fixed salary directly when his head was rusted.

Chen Dong nodded, and immediately called the staff of the company's legal department to draw up a contract.

The content of the contract stipulates that the copyright of the TV series "Love Is Coming" and the subsequent production rights belong to the producer.

"Look at this contract first, if there is no problem, you can sign it." Chen Dong said to Hu Yibo.

Hu Yibo took the contract and looked at it. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, he picked up a pen and signed his name.

"Happy cooperation!" Chen Dong stretched out his left hand.

"Happy cooperation!" Hu Yibo stretched out his right hand and shook it.

After Hu Yibo left with excitement.

Chen Dong sat in the office and began to work on the 'secondary creation' of "Love Is Coming".

Modify the character traits of the character.

Guo Lin: A bit cheap, a nosy good old man, sensitive, Virgo/Virgo, has a cleanliness obsession, dare not face his own feelings, mantra: ..., the most common action, eyebrow dance, cool, cool.

After Chen Dong's modification, the character of Guo Lin became 'perfect', close to the audience, with some unnecessary shortcomings, a catchphrase that has been said many times, and a funny eyebrow dance, which can easily make the audience Remember, and full of laughs, this character creation is very successful.

Zhao Fangfang: A flirtatious yuppie, a playboy, unreliable, hurting others, not good for oneself, catchphrase: Hey, beauty, ride a horse, ..., the most common action, ....

……

Then, a lot of jokes from the original time and space were added to the play, and funny online lines, which are not available in this time and space, will make the audience's eyes brighten after the TV series is broadcast.

Finally, some topics that are close to the current hot topics are added, and after some modifications, they are embedded in the script.

……

After a major revision, the plot has become more 'full', the characters have become more distinctive, easy to be remembered by the audience, accepted by the audience, and they like it more. Also, there are a lot of laughs and romance. Chinese love is even more exciting.
