In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

By the way, when I took the screenwriting job for "Dragon Movie", the remuneration was 6,000 yuan per episode!

Settlement will be done in two steps. A deposit of 20% will be paid first. After the manuscript is submitted and it has been reviewed, the remaining amount will be paid...

It’s all after tax!

I called 12,000 very directly...

The four people split it equally, and each of them got 3,000 yuan first!

Zhang Jizhong's crew is really rich!

Checkout is also very straightforward.

This is also related to his background. Lao Zhang came from the TV Drama Center. In the early years, the TV Drama Center attached great importance to screenwriters!

Otherwise, characters like Wang Shuo and Hai Yan wouldn't be able to get along.

Of course, even after I took over the job, I didn’t forget my notes in class and after class – they were related to credits!

Therefore, for ten days, several people either went to class, went to the library, or went back to the dormitory...

I bought three more sets of "The Complete Works of Jin Yong's Martial Arts" - they don't retail, only the complete works!

After ten days, the manuscript was finally completed. Then several people circulated it to each other. Shen Xudong briefly revised it and sent it directly to the chief planner...

Then... I called back two episodes and asked for revisions.

By the way, I also called over the remaining 48,000...

Not only Shen Xudong, but also Zhao Linhai was surprised...

This is too rich!

"I heard that screenwriters are paid in three installments...some even have to wait until the TV series is finished filming!"

"...We haven't even finished delivering the manuscript yet, so we're sending the money directly?"

"How generous!"

Shen Xudong was more direct and said with joy: "I don't care, I'm making money anyway!"

"Hey, Fourth Brother, what are you going to buy?"

"Buying a car, didn't you say that? Isn't it convenient to buy a car?"

"Then how much money do you have now?"

"Let me calculate…"

The two-month remuneration was almost over 10,000, and the expenses were 1,500. This time, the screenwriting fee for "Dragon" was divided into 15,000...

After calculating clearly, Shen Xudong said: "Almost 30,000 yuan! Can 30,000 yuan buy a good second-hand car?"

"A second-hand Santana is about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan...a second-hand Audi A4 is around 180,000 yuan..."

"Second brother, I only need 30,000 yuan!"

Zhao Linhai smiled: "We don't want to buy such a good one, just a Jetta. If it doesn't work, how about a Xiali?"

Zhao Xinze said: "Xia Li is too low-status... How about, I'll give you ten thousand more, and we can get two Santanas?"

"Yes, let's buy Santana..."

"I'm not used to borrowing money..." Shen Xudong shook his head: "Let's get a Jetta!"

While they were discussing, Liao Gaoxiang came over: "Fourth, I have finished revising these two episodes..."

"Let me see…"

Liao Gaoxiang's two episodes are about Xingzilin and before arriving at Juxian Village, which are relatively dull content...

It may sound dull, but there are many characters and stories involved, including Xixia Yipin Hall Helian Tieshu leading the four evil men to challenge the Beggar Gang, Duan Yu challenging Murong Fu, Qiao Feng being unjustly accused of killing his adoptive parents and his mentor...

It would have been difficult to fill two episodes with these plots. Liao Gaoxiang liked Wang Yuyan and added a lot of scenes to her...

So I was beaten back!

There is only one comment for revision: ‘Don’t make blind changes! ’

Shen Xudong said, 'The highlight of your two episodes is actually A'Zhu's appearance...'

The second brother was still very good, and he revised it in just half a day. Shen Xudong read it over and found that there was no problem. He showed it to Zhao Linhai and Zhao Xin, and they both had no objections, and finally sent it to me!

After the matter was settled, Liao Gaoxiang sat down and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"

"...Oh, let's discuss what kind of car the fourth child should buy!"

"What's the budget?"

"Thirty thousand yuan!"

"Then buy a Jetta...I happen to have a buddy who sells used cars!"

"OK!"

Liao Gaoxiang took out his mobile phone: "I asked him if he has a Jetta... If so, let's go see the goods tomorrow!"

Shen Xudong was surprised: "So fast?"

“…There are a lot of people buying second-hand cars now…Hey!”

Liao Gaoxiang has already called...

Just as he was talking, a familiar ringtone suddenly rang - Shen Xudong's cell phone rang!

Five minutes later, he hung up, a little excited: "Senior Brother Shi Hang is outside and said he would treat us to dinner!"

"I also agreed with my buddies that we will go tomorrow...what did you just say?"

"Senior Brother Shi Hang?"

"Walk!"

…

Shi Hang is quite famous in the Department of Chinese Opera and Literature. After graduation, he stayed in the Chinese Opera Library as an administrator...

Later, when the library wanted to generate revenue, Shi Hang was responsible for showing movies and videos in the library, choosing his own films to attract audiences - just a few words to promote a movie!

This is also the first short review...

"I started working on my first script in 1995, which was the TV series "BJ Fayuan Temple". I watched Li Ao's "BJ Fayuan Temple" at that time, so I added various scenes to Tan Sitong... I wrote about his pride and sorrow! "

“…”

Shen Xudong has never watched "Beijing Escort" at all - this show is only broadcast in the BJ area!

Liao Gaoxiang raised his hand: "I have seen it. That play is called "The Big Sword King Five"?"

"Yes, it was originally called Big Sword King Five, starring Zhang Duofu?"

"right!"

Shen Xudong finally heard about it: "The director of "The Book of Love"?"

"Later he became a director!"

"Then how did you become the screenwriter of "The Condor"?"

Shi Hang continued: "After that, I wrote "The Soul of Qinhuai", which required me to be stationed in the team. There was no other way, so I resigned from the library. After that, I wrote "The Biography of Taiwan's First Governor Liu Ming" and "Iron Teeth". "Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan"... It should have been recommended by them, so Zhang Jizhong came to me! Aren't you the same?"

Shen Xudong quickly explained: "We don't have any works..."

"Many people have read your character analysis of "The Swordsman"!"

"That's just analysis..."

"That's enough. If you don't understand "Swordsman", you won't be able to write those things!"

Several people were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Shen Xudong would actually discuss it a lot in order to earn royalties?

Shi Hang picked up the cup, took a sip, and continued: "I have been writing for ten years. The most regrettable thing is the first independent work "The Mirror Hangs High"..."

"Mirror Hanging High"?

Never heard of it!

"It can be regarded as a costume sitcom... I was very ambitious at the time. I wanted to write a "comedy that deals with modern issues in ancient clothes", including but not limited to anti-corruption issues, revolutionary issues, consumer rights protection issues, and media entertainment issues... Later, I also filmed it, but…"

"Mirror" is 8 years earlier than "Wulin Gaiden", and is well-deserved China's first costume sitcom

Looking at the film now, the cast is quite star-studded. Wang Gang, Deng Jie, Tao Hong, Guo Donglin, and Liu Wei were all hot names at the time. With the addition of guest appearances by comedians such as Yao Lu, Yao Erga, and Ding Jiali, it is full of attractions. …

It's a pity that after it was broadcast, the audience didn't buy it!

Using the past to satirize the present seems to the audience to be a random fabrication by the screenwriter, with modern lines and even some satirical jokes appearing in it. However, the commentators and the audience feel that this is a vulgar gimmick. The actors' exaggerated body language and interpretation methods, the audience But I feel that this is a "mashing" performance...

Therefore, "Wulin Gaiden" is lucky, because in the era when it was born, the audience's acceptance level was higher!

"Why do you want to do this?"

"At that time, Phoenix TV Chinese Channel was seeking cooperation in mainland China, hoping to launch a refreshing TV series... I felt..."

Zhao Linhai and Liao Gaoxiang said in unison: "Phoenix TV?"

"Yes...what's wrong with Phoenix TV?"
