"Brother Ze, Sister Xue, I..." Yu Shishi, who was silent next to her, suddenly raised her hand and hesitated: "I have a classmate who is a screenwriter, can I?"
"Oh?" Kong Xue was stunned. Seeing Yu Shishi's face full of anxiety, she smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"She is not a well-known screenwriter." Seeing Su Ze looking over, Yu Shishi hurriedly explained: "I was very good at writing in college. I also wrote online articles. My income was very good at that time."
"Then I started writing scripts. I didn't find a job after graduation, and I've been working until now, so..."
Kong Xue raised her hand, looked at the time and said, "Okay, call me now and ask if you have time. Let's talk when you have time."
"Is that okay?" Yu Shishi was surprised. Seeing Su Ze nodding, she quickly said, "Okay, I'll call right away."
Su Ze and Kong Xue looked at each other. Yu Shishi was good at everything, but she lacked self-confidence. There was nothing she could do about it. Personality cannot be changed in a few days.
Half an hour later, I saw this fat girl named Wanzi in the office. She had an ordinary appearance and wore black-rimmed glasses.
"Brother Ze, hello, Sister Xue." As a friend of the rich boss who had heard of Yu Shishi for a long time, he felt envious, jealous, and resentful. He just received the call and took a taxi and rushed over without saying a word.
"You were introduced by Shishi, so I won't say any more polite words." Kong Xue motioned for Wanzi to sit down, handed her resume to Su Ze, and asked, "Our studio needs a screenwriter position. If you are interested, please introduce yourself briefly.
"
Wanzi is also an old man, and he probably has to face Party A's father many times. He gushed: "The first project I worked on when I first entered the industry was a love web drama. I have been working on it for more than two years since I joined. Before that, the management did not have a platform for production.
people, so the project has been revised repeatedly.”
"When I joined, the management had secured the platform, the project was advancing rapidly, and we hoped to start production as soon as possible. At that time, we had a complete first draft of the script, but almost all needed to be overturned and rewritten. Three screenwriters worked together, and my price totaled 200,000."
"The project has 32 episodes. It was launched and aired successfully after half a year. The director and management were very scumbag, and the script was modified on the spot. However, it is a self-produced drama on the platform. How it is produced has nothing to do with the film and television company. The production fee they earn is fixed.
of."
"A thirty-eight-tier actor, there's nothing I can do about it. The platform producer named and asked for a connection, but his acting skills were so embarrassing that he picked his feet. In the end, he spent tens of millions to film Tuo Xiang, you know."
"The most stupid thing is that the director took the writing team and the dubbing actors together to change the lyrics, and I didn't even recognize the final words!"
"The online owners spent money to build the platform, and it has a very high rating. It's so confusing that you don't need it. Douban all has one star."
"As a screenwriter, I was completely defeated after two episodes!"
Su Ze couldn't help but laugh. If you don't say that talk show is a waste of talent!
"Very good!" Kong Xue's eyes lit up. What the studio needs are not so-called nerds. The more experienced social beatings, the better. Why should you bear the cost of trial and error?
Running in a hurry, Wanzi took a sip of water and continued: "After this project, I can be regarded as a screenwriter with works. Although it is a bad drama like "To the Center of the Earth", when I go out to negotiate the project, the asking price will be doubled, with a minimum of 20,000 per episode."
"Then there are a bunch of scattered small projects, all with love themes. After a long time, I started to make some connections. After all, independent screenwriters do not have a stable source of income. Especially in the early stages of the project, the basic character biographies and story outlines are all for free."
"When I encounter all kinds of troublesome things, I am either in the outline stage or in the episode. It is easy to get four or five people to sign the contract and basically receive the first payment, and then..."
"Project Huang is gone!"
Su Ze knew something about this. When the film and television company submits the project to the platform, it needs a complete character biography, story outline, episode outline and the first three episode scripts.
At this time, screenwriters can usually only receive a deposit, which can range from 30,000 to 40,000 yuan, but usually only a few thousand yuan. As for whether the project can pass the platform, it all depends on luck.
There are all kinds of intrigues between the platform, the management, and the producers. After you make corrections, I will make corrections and corrections. Coupled with the ever-changing policies, projects often become obsolete and silent.
"Hey, I feel that the biggest threshold for screenwriters is to get into the industry, which is to get a signature."
Wanzi said helplessly: "There is a huge difference in income between works with signatures and works without signatures. Even if it is a bad drama, signing is several times better than not signing."
"I'm relatively smooth among non-majors. I'm off to a good start. I'm a careless person and may get into trouble because I write a lot of projects, regardless of whether they're pornographic or not. Anyway, there are a lot of producers from film and television companies on WeChat."
"Have a good time. If you need to give something away, give it away. If you need to hang out with me, let's hang out with you. I think as long as you feed Party A, sooner or later there will be no more projects?"
Su Ze looked at the smiling fat girl and felt an inexplicable sense of joy. It was really interesting.
"Now we are asking for 50,000 yuan per episode. Of course, the most we can get is more than 20,000 yuan. The rest is a rebate to the producer."
"After all, if you feed others, you can help collect the balance, right?"
Wanzi took the second glass of water from Yue Shishi, glanced secretly, and continued: "A bunch of projects are actually one. After filming and editing, it was broadcast last year. I am still the first to be signed at the beginning of the film, hehehehe."
"Although it didn't explode, at least it didn't make a splash. Douban 6.7 is pretty good. Starting from this year, we have been receiving quality projects one after another. Of course, this and this are pornographic. Don't think that big projects are not pornographic.
Big projects die faster!”
"What big project?" Kong Xue asked seemingly curiously.
"Well, sister, I won't say the name. After all, we will have to work in the same circle in the future." Wanzi was not stupid, he avoided the important and ignored the important and said: "For a national-level IP drama, the management asked for a draft review and found four groups of screenwriters. I
The winner signs the contract."
"It was said that the investment was over 100 million. During that time, I focused on this project. I didn't spend a penny in the early stage and worked hard to write it for almost a year. I thought that if the show was successfully completed and launched, I would be able to earn more than 100,000 yuan per episode.
screenwriter."
"The producer who signed the contract gave various hints, and in the end he just took half of it. I had no choice but to grit my teeth and endure it. Later, I wrote countless drafts, and every time there was a script meeting, there was always a fool planning to find fault with the script and forcefully target the script.
.”
"Party A is not very firm to begin with. Do you believe that Guang Guang's outline was rewritten in more than ten versions because of this plan?"
"In the end, I didn't know until the project was rejected. What idiot planned that his wife was also a screenwriter?"
“And I was the one who was defeated by me in the previous competition!”
Wanzi complained: "Because it is a key project of the company, my manuscript was selected by the chief producer, and he could not move. But the chief producer who officially promoted it was busy with many other things, and the dog planner kept trying to squeeze me out.
Ask his wife to join in."
"The schedule was deliberately very tight, forcing me to agree to add people. Unfortunately, there was no team at the time. He asked for one episode every two days, three episodes a week, and a whole day of meetings to find faults."
"Just when I couldn't stand it any longer, the project went bankrupt."
"Hahahahaha!"
Su Ze looked at the fat girl who was a little crazy. Good guy, screenwriting is also a high-risk profession.
Kong Xue smiled. She had long been used to this state. How dare you be in the entertainment industry if you don't have any mental illness?
"Kanaze is a personal studio. Shishi should have told you about the specific situation. She needs to support her own screenwriter. She is usually responsible for reviewing scripts. Of course, it would be better if you can write."
Kong Xue said seriously: "It can be said that everyone here serves Su Ze, and the screenwriter is no exception. If your script can satisfy the boss, we can discuss anything."
"Can I ask how much your monthly salary is?" Wanzi is also an old man, who doesn't know how to draw pictures casually?
"It was originally ten thousand, but as for you." Kong Xue glanced at Su Ze, nodded slightly, and said, "The monthly salary of twenty thousand does not include year-end dividends and bonuses."
Wanzi was overjoyed and deliberately pondered for a moment and said: "What if my script passes through the income?"
"Yes, we can discuss everything." Kong Xue said calmly: "The contract will be marked separately, don't worry."
A monthly salary of 20,000 yuan? Wanzi is very excited. Don't look at the lavish talk just mentioned. In fact, he is hungry and full. He does not work for three years and eats for three years. This is why he wants to find a stable job.
