Chapter 24 Script Conundrum

Jiang Xin's testimonial was one step slower. When he handed it in, Shen Gu was already discussing the signing of the contract with Gu Mian. Jiang Xin's face turned cold on the spot when he was so ignored.He turned his head and walked towards Shen Gu's office, passing by the corridor with people coming and going, those people looked at him sternly and aggressively, their backs were full of anger, they hurriedly shrunk their heads and avoided them.

After entering the office, Jiang Xin pulled a chair and sat down without saying a word, just staring at Shen Gu so coldly.

He was born with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and he has a dazzling beauty when he smiles, but he is particularly scary when he is serious. Even the amber eyes seem to be radiant with coldness, and people can't help but hide back, "Come with me." It’s meaningless if you don’t write your thoughts?”

Shen Gu felt guilty for a moment, not because he forgot about Jiang Xin, but because he had already decided in his heart that it was this novel, and he was afraid of being rejected again, so he asked Gu Mian to contact the author immediately, who would have thought that it would be so smooth afterwards .

"I said it was an option. It was almost decided before. I want your reflections to be a reference for future adaptations. After all, novels are written expressions, and series are visual expressions. It is impossible to copy them." Shen Gu said patiently.

Jiang Xin looked down at the patterns on her clothes, as if she didn't listen to Shen Gu's words.

Shen Gu couldn't help pinching his forehead, "It's decided to be this novel, after that you and Li Jing will be the main persons in charge of this drama." Shen Gu is not afraid to name Jiang Xin as the person in charge. , he will definitely follow up the whole process, and he is not afraid that Li Jing will not be able to suppress Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin turned his eyes numbly, staring at the wall lamp on the wall behind him, and said disdainfully: "It seems that I care about this name a lot."

Seeing that his voice seemed to soften a little, Shen Gu quickly said: "Yes, yes, I know that you work hard, not for fame, but for participating in the planning of the series."

These words moved Jiang Xin's heart, his expression softened a little, and he finally looked away, leaning on the back of the chair with his arms folded.

Shen Gu was a little surprised at Jiang Xin's enthusiasm for serial drama planning, and at the same time was surprised that he could do this.Xu is the preconceived impression that has affected Shen Gu. In his mind, Jiang Xin is a second-generation ancestor who is unscrupulous in the company by relying on his identity as an investor. To this kind of person, reading love novels and writing thoughts is no different. torment.

Shen Gu flipped through the document sent by Jiang Xin, which clarified his feelings from the perspective of a man, the content was almost the opposite of Li Jing and the others, and viciously criticized everything that was unreasonable. The text can be expected, Jiang Xin was furious at the time, he tapped the media, "I said, the audience of this kind of novel is women, I don't need the plot to be reasonable, as long as the story can move them, attract them, and arouse Their sense of substitution." Every time Shen Gu said it, he would emphasize the three words of sense of substitution.

Jiang Xin raised his legs, turned upside down, and said indifferently: "That's why people who fail in reality will be satisfied with this fantasy."

Shen Gu couldn't refute him, so he shrugged his shoulders and passed the topic aside.

Jiang Xin was appointed verbally just now. After that, Shen Gu held a meeting in the company and designated a few people to be responsible for this series. At that time, worry was greater than pride. Of course, this kind of mortal emotion did not include Jiang Xin.

After buying the film and television copyright, the next step is to adapt it into a script. This is also extremely difficult for Shen Gu, a layman. He even has a feeling of resistance in his heart, and is extremely worried about whether the script can be compiled.

As the saying goes, one thing does not bother two masters. Since there is no experienced screenwriter in New Mercury, Shen Gu simply thought of the original author of this novel. After all, the story is created by him. In his mind, there must be many outsiders who cannot understand. Scenes.

Shen Gu found the contact information of the author of this novel and sent him a message. The waiting voice rang for a long time before the other end got connected, and an ordinary-looking woman appeared on the screen.

Shen Gu knew that people should not be judged by appearance, not to mention that talent has nothing to do with appearance, but at the moment he saw the woman, he couldn't help but worry about the script even more, and even his voice was not so warm, "Hello, is this Miss Cao Shuangyu, I'm It's Shen Gu, the person in charge of Earth Entertainment."

Cao Shuangyu may have known Shen Gu's identity from the phone number. Maybe Gu Mian gave her the contact information. After hearing Shen Gu's self-report, she was not surprised, but swallowed her saliva and stammered, "Hello, I'm Cao Shuangyu, what can I do for you?"

The other party's respectful words made Shen Gu serious, "It's like this. Before the filming, there is still some paperwork. May I take the liberty to ask Miss Cao's usual working hours? Or when I will be free."

Cao Shuangyu fiddled with her bangs uncomfortably, and her voice dropped, "I resigned not long ago, and I'm at home recently, so I'm free anytime."

After Shen Gu heard this, he felt very lucky. Although in the case of Xin Mercury, the original author is the best screenwriter, but if Cao Shuangyu is busy with work, he can't force him, "Is that so... I don't know if it's convenient for Ms. Cao to come here soon." My company is here, because the filming of the TV series needs to adapt the novel into a script, because this novel is created by you, so I think you don’t want the novel to be changed beyond recognition, so it’s best to do it yourself .”

Cao Shuangyu had some joy in her eyes, but she still bit her lip and hesitated, "Now?"

Just as Shen Gu wanted to say that it was inconvenient today, he turned to another day, because when he thought of explaining the script, he, a layman, was terrified.

Cao Shuangyu nodded first, "Alright, alright, I'll go right away."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Shen Gu's heart, and when he realized it, he first cast aside himself.

While waiting for Cao Shuangyu, Shen Gu sorted out the information in his mind. He was lucky enough to have seen the script in his previous life, but it was only once, and he just flipped through it with curiosity. He generally knew the format and function, but let him write it. It is almost impossible to write a script, let alone teach others.

Shen Gu writes and draws unconsciously, which allows him to sort out his thoughts, and I don't know how long it took, until there was a knock on the door, Shen Gu suddenly came back to his senses, and found that more than an hour had passed before he knew it. hour.

Li Jing came in with a woman. The latter was wearing a white dress and had long flowing hair. Shen Gu didn't recognize her for a moment, but later realized that the facial features were somewhat familiar, and then remembered that this woman was Cao Shuangyu?

The simple makeup made Cao Shuangyu look much more pleasing to the eye. As soon as she got closer, Shen Gu could smell the fragrance of roses in her hair.

"Boss, Miss Cao is here." Li Jing looked at Cao Shuangyu curiously.

After bringing her here, Li Jing left. As the door closed silently, Cao Shuangyu's shoulders shook. She raised her face and tried her best to smile, but the corners of her mouth kept twitching, "Mr. Shen, hello, I'm Cao Shuangyu .”

With a clear voice, there was a hint of reluctance, and at the same time, due to the steady approach, the hands hanging by the side trembled slightly.

Shen Gu was still wondering what was going on with this person, so he stretched out his hand and said casually, "Welcome Miss Cao, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation, and thank you for your hard work in the future."

Cao Shuangyu stretched out his hand, and Shen Gu held those green onion-like five fingers in the palm of his hand, feeling cold to the touch.

After exchanging pleasantries, Shen Gu invited Cao Shuangyu to take a seat. He walked back behind the desk and went straight to the point, "Miss Cao, do you understand the format of serial dramas?"

Cao Shuangyu nodded first, then shook her head. She wanted to listen humbly, but when Shen Gu motioned her to talk, she cleared her throat, "The stationmaster of Sky Book City contacted me before and told me about it...Mr. Shen , I also like watching Earth Entertainment very much, and I don’t miss it every day..."

She suddenly sped up her speech, and when she finished speaking, Cao Shuangyu's face turned red, and she coughed again, "I watch Earth Entertainment's programs, each episode is independent, and then the station master told me Mr. Shen To make my novel into a series, literally, I guess, it should be a continuous video, forming a complete story."

Shen Gu looked at her almost admiringly, and boasted, "Miss Cao is really smart, and serial dramas are just like that."

Cao Shuangyu stroked her hair shyly.

"I came here for Ms. Cao this time, mainly to discuss the script..." Faced with Cao Shuangyu's puzzled eyes, Shen Gu was at a loss for words for a moment, "The director can no longer shoot series based on your novels. , because there are a lot of descriptions and a lot of psychological activities in the novel, he can't copy these, but express some emotions through the characters' expressions and actions, which requires turning the novel into a script, and the script is more straightforward Yes, there is no need for gorgeous rhetoric to describe, just describe a picture with words, let the director know what he is going to shoot."

Cao Shuangyu's expression was ignorant, and her clear eyes looked over blankly.

Shen Gu sighed, not to mention that Cao Shuangyu didn't understand, even he didn't know what he said, he suddenly became very anxious, wanted to express, but couldn't.

He leaned back in the seat dejectedly, and pressed his forehead.

Cao Shuangyu looked at him uneasily.

Shen Gu suddenly leaned forward, the movement was too big, the chair under his buttocks slammed, "I can't explain it clearly, let me give you an example."

Cao Shuangyu shrugged her shoulders and nodded.

Shen Gu opened "The Star on the Wishing Tree" with a medium, and Cao Shuangyu stretched her neck to follow it. When she realized that it was her own novel, she immediately became uncomfortable.

"Look here, the heroine is hiding under the wishing tree and crying alone, while the hero is quietly standing on the other side of the tree, listening to her cry. You have used a lot of words to describe the mood, expression, and expression of the two of them at this time. There is a beautiful scenery, but through shooting, it only takes one scene. The camera can record the environment and the expressions of the two people at that time without words. Here we must highlight the acting skills of the actors, they don't speak, they have to express their mood through body language and so on..."

Discussing her novel with a new acquaintance heatedly made Cao Shuangyu's face burn, and she hardly dared to look directly at Shen Gu.

Shen Gu suddenly found that he said a lot of things that were a bit off topic, "I mean, if the director wants to shoot this scene, the tedious description in your novel will make him unable to start, and the script is to let him know at a glance that he is going to shoot this scene. What, suppose I turn this scene into a script, so it's like this..."

Shen Gu began to write on the media, and he wrote like flying, because he didn't have to think about the problem of word modification.

The male lead (with a complicated expression, he struggled with thoughts, and was about to give up, he leaned against a big tree, lowered his arms, raised his head, and his eyes hurt)

With a snap, Shen Gu threw the pen away, and pointed excitedly, "Look, this is called a script. In just a few hundred words, you can describe your picture with thousands of words. The director and actors can understand it at a glance. , directly know what to act and what to shoot.”

Cao Shuangyu suddenly understood a little bit. She nodded in a daze, but she didn't have much confidence, "I seem to understand a little bit, but I don't know if I can write it well."

Shen Gu gave her an encouraging smile, "I believe in you, you can do it, this is your novel, you must have outlined these scenes in your mind."
