Chapter 147 How is a good screenwriter made
"Let me put it bluntly! Both of them are senior figures in the entertainment industry. Although Brother Pan is young, he has strong assets and unique vision. I admire him very much. But... cooperation like this seems unfair to you and me..."
"Since you have said this, it's better to say it all." Pan Hongsheng put down his glass and motioned Cheng Lu to put away the giggle on her face.
The director seemed to be very hesitant. He held the wine glass in his hand, picked it up and put it down, and put it down, and mixed the little residue in the wine glass back and forth.
"Why don't I say it for you?" It was the drama of the puppet who was willing to stand up and talk with a wine glass in his hand: "Everyone has spent a lot of energy and money on this play, but now there is a lot of scolding on the Internet. Why? It's because the selection of female pig's feet is too casual! Everyone is tacit that this is not good for all of us! Some advertisers even proposed that they would no longer sponsor next season. What is this sign?
"However, the editor is very strong. He insists that he will refuse to cooperate if he does not star with his niece. The director lowered his head and said quietly, "I'm thinking, should we find a way to persuade him?"
Pan Hongsheng and Tang Shao looked at each other and knew that this kind of thing was a taboo in the industry.
The director colluded with the investor to become a screenwriter, which is very inhumane. But what the director said is not groundless, and it is true that many advertising sponsors withdraw their capital.
After all, there are many TV series at this time. In order to seek the greatest attention, enterprises will naturally choose to invest in TV dramas with better reputation. Although the quality of their play script is very good, the lineup of the director team is also very strong, and the supporting actresses and male pig feet have been praised. What's the reason...
Although the big screenwriter has been supporting his niece and has always refused to admit that it is his own person who has stirred up a pot of porridge, he should know what the truth is like.
Why do the director and other actors turn a blind eye to them? Because the jigsaw puzzle of the heroine on their big boat led to the failure of the whole play.
The key is that there is the second season, the third season...
The director originally hoped that the makeup artist could turn the tide, but the protagonist's capital was too poor, and even the makeup artist secretly revealed to the director that the heroine seemed to have really had plastic surgery...
In fact, this is not news in the industry. It is normal for actresses to have plastic surgery, but it really needs to be verified to spend a lot of money on plastic surgery.
The director's original words are: If anyone treats me into that virtue, I will kill him with a knife.
"Isn't this too cruel to my sister..." Cheng Lu couldn't help saying. But he was stopped by Tang Shao with his eyes.
She obviously doesn't know the interests involved.
The current situation is that if you really insist on continuing to play your own niece as the protagonist according to the meaning of the big screenwriter, not only will the whole series of plays be ruined, but also the director and the whole crew will be buried.
After all, both actors and directors have to eat. After working hard for so long, these actors eat the film equipment, and they are all money.
Whose money is spent? In addition to a small part of the screenwriter's own investment, the most are Pan Hongsheng and other investors. If those large manufacturers are dissatisfied with the ratings and evaluation, Pan Hongsheng will be under greater pressure.
Pan Hongsheng's face became grim. Although he had the ability to eat the early investment of the play alone, he knew that although Cheng Lu's eye-catching performance was well received, he was a supporting role after all.
The soul character of a play is that kind of performance, even if you are a good supporting role? It's like the "Bird Shooting Heroes" shot by the director with a bearded beard who was extremely narcissistic and had a lot of brain-damaged fans. The supporting roles were all brilliant and eye-catching, but the protagonist found a woman with a flattening sweet potato and a man's voice. Although he claimed to have earned hundreds of millions of yuan, why didn't he see the second broadcast? What about it? Why is there no second broadcast? Why didn't anyone pick up the plate?
Only he knows the truth in his heart. From the dull performance of "Smiling Proud Paste", it can be seen that Ni Duan, but the beard does not admit his mistake.
This meal has all five flavors.
Before leaving, the director patted Pan Hongsheng on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, I may offend people by saying these words, but offending people is better than losing their reputation!" To be honest, this scene has been filmed like this. I really have the impulse to burn these films!"
Pan Hongsheng's words stunned him.
"Then burn it."
"What?"
Tang Shao smiled and clapped his hands repeatedly: "Our boss said, burn the reshoot! The money is ours! Change the script!"
The director was so scared: "However, the play has broadcast some tidbits and the previous episodes on the Internet... Xiaocheng's performance reputation is not bad!"
"No matter how good the supporting role is, it is meaningless for the protagonist to ruin the whole play!" Pan Hongsheng drank the residue in the glass and said firmly, "You will have a showdown with the big screenwriter tomorrow. You won't suddenly change, will you? Go and talk with me."
"This..." The director hesitated in his heart. Although the investor was rich and rich, the script...
Although the screenwriter's niece is very weak, his script is really awesome!
He knows very well that this kind of script is one of the best products at first glance, and it can't be carved out in a few years.
Although there are many screenwriters now, and there seem to be screenwriters all over the mountains and fields, there are really few really good and excellent screenwriters.
Those cheap screenwriters basically have no background. Some directors choose them because of the shortage of funds. The cheapest is even only 800 episodes. What good dramas can be bought at this price? So now the garbage dramas and anti-Japanese dramas are breaking out everywhere, which scares people to the TV with fear.
For Pan Hongsheng, what he pursues is absolutely not to procrastinate, and the purpose is clear!
Since you want to popularize a person, and since you are sure that this person can do it, why don't you play bigger?
He took a look at Cheng Lu, who was sitting trembling beside him, and stretched out a finger: "In a week, I found a similar script. You can rest assured."
The director slapped the table: "Have a good time! It's a pleasure to cooperate with a big enterprise like you! It's not easy for my brothers. They work hard to create a classic and make more money, but in the current situation, I really can't afford to hurt it!"
This sentence is 100% true. The director was also impressed by Pan Hongsheng's courage and determined to cooperate with the boss for a long time.
In fact, nothing is convincing without strong financial support. Although he is a little doubtful that Pan Hongsheng can find a similar script in a week, isn't there a brave man under the reward?
The world is so big, is there only one excellent screenwriter?
