At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 96
TV dramas are different from movies. Experienced people can tell good or bad scripts of TV dramas at a glance.

How to judge good or bad?

Type positioning, subject matter, characterization, character relationship, plot setting, lines, frame structure, rhythm, innovation, policy review risk, and expression of value orientation...

The most important is the last point!
Policy Review Risks and Value Orientation…

If something goes wrong, it's useless no matter how exciting it is!
"Need for Home Ding" is no problem!

The theme and the idea of ​​the script come from "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance"...

Then why not make a TV series version of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance"?
That...it's too difficult, it's basically impossible to surpass the movie version...

Although Zhuang Liqi didn't read the script, but when he heard it, he felt something was wrong...

Unfortunately, this script was written for Ciwen!
However, Zhuang Liqi was more interested in Shen Xudong's Tianmei studio: "How many screenwriters does your company have?"

"Now there are only five..."

"Five... are they so efficient?"

Is this efficient?
Only wrote three scripts in two months...

If Shen Xudong works overtime, he can do it alone!

Of course, he wouldn't say that directly, but said: "We set the outline..."

"...I wonder if you guys have any new ideas?"

"Not yet," Shen Xudong added after thinking for a while, "However, we often discuss what the post-80s generation will experience in society after leaving campus..."

Chen Hao interjected: "What else can I do? Live!"

"Looking for a job, earning money, getting married, having children...Suppose a famous man in college enters the society and finds that his dream is far away from him...Does he still have to fight for it?"

"So, the theme is struggle?"

"Almost... I only have one idea at the moment. When I finish the novel in hand, I will spare time to write it!"

"I'm looking forward to it... Our company has requested this script!"

"Thanks... But here I should write the novel first, and then adapt it into a screenplay..."

"That's better, the novel warms up..."

After thinking about it, Zhuang Liqi said, "You really should write a novel with a realistic theme!"

"…why?"

"If you want to continue to develop in the literary world, it's not enough to just write about martial arts. I heard that Guo Jingming is writing about realistic themes!"

"…I see."

"How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams" Well...

Therefore, "How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams" is an outlier in Guo Jingming's works. There are many BJ words in it, including words such as "Chai He Niu" and "Ya", which have never been seen in other books before.

A kid from Sichuan who just came to Shanghai to study and never lived in BJ.

Where did he learn such an authentic BJ local way of speaking?

The metaphors of cumulus clouds, rainstorms, plants, and steel forests that appear again and again in the front and back of the fantasy city, the small era, the noble track, and various prose have almost become his usual annotations in writing, necessary for transitions, and characteristic distinct.

But in the book "Dream", there is absolutely no such text that uses metaphors to set off emotions.

The reason is quite simple, because the styles are too different, he can't integrate the language he is most used to...

Of course it is also possible, he is eager to prove himself...

Not only can you write fantasy, but you can also write realistic stories...

After all, although Han Han's "Three Doors" is labeled as a campus novel, it somehow has the edge of realist pure literature...

Guo couldn't write it out. He didn't know how he saw "Inside the Circle and Outside the Circle" and copied it, and even modified it in a superfluous way...

……

Of course Shen Xudong was talking about "Struggle"...

The theme of "Struggle" is not struggle, but young people who are full of confusion. They don't know what they want to do, and they don't know whether the work they do is worthwhile.

The generation born in the 80s was born in the era of the fastest economic development in China, with the impact of new moral concepts, rich material foundation and diverse opportunities for transition.

This makes the life pursuits of the post-80s quite different from those of the previous generation. They struggle between love and career, and collide between ideals and reality.

The story happened in 2006-2007. College students are no longer a scarce resource, and news reports are everywhere that "the monthly salary of fresh graduates is as low as [-] yuan" and "graduates have zero starting salary".

The protagonists also suffered employment problems because of this: Gao Qiang was frustrated in job hunting, Charlene graduated from college, and could only find nightclub models, odd jobs in record companies...

In fact, regardless of the plot, the protagonists of "Struggle" do represent a generation. This group of people disdains to enter the immutable system. Seeing their parents' accumulation of wealth from scratch, they also want to work hard for a career.

Every young man has great ambitions when he graduates. After being beaten to the ground, he finds that in a city like BJ, there seem to be job opportunities all over the place, but none of them are suitable for him.

Well, in fact, "Struggle" is more popular, and it just so happens that Shen Xudong can remember this drama!

……

"Senior Sister, this is the phone number of the screenwriter of "Golden Branch Desire", her name is Qin Wen... I am only responsible for writing the outline, and the biography of the characters... She is responsible for perfecting the specific character design... If you have any doubts, you can contact her! "

"...you don't write it yourself?"

"My ability to control women's psychology is still a bit weak, and I can't write emotional scenes well. Qin Wen is different..."

The dinner was almost over, Shen Xudong gave Qin Wen's contact information to Chen Hao...

Chen Hao is a little dissatisfied...

She always thought that the screenwriter of "Golden Branch Desire" was Shen Xudong.

"Didn't you say that you prepared this script for me?"

"...Yeah, otherwise I wouldn't have called you just because I thought of an idea..."

Having said that, Chen Hao is still a little dissatisfied, but she can't say what she is dissatisfied with...

Maybe it's because she thought Shen Xudong was trying to lick her, and suddenly found out that it was just a deal...

Shen Xudong... It doesn't matter, he has collected all the money, and we will continue to cooperate next time!

He didn't believe that Chen Hao could resist "Beauty's Scheming"...

Sure enough, Shen Xudong mentioned "Beauty's Scheming" a little bit: "The theme of "Golden Branch Desire" is that there is no winner in the harem battle, everyone loses, but I want to write about a girl from a humble background step by step to power. peak!"

Chen Hao answered immediately: "Wu Zetian?"

"No, the audience is too familiar with Wu Zetian's story, so it's hard to play it out, Dou Yifang!"

"Who is Dou Yifang?"

"Emperor Wen's wife, the third empress of the Western Han Dynasty, she was just a little maid in the Western Han Dynasty Palace at first, serving the Empress Dowager Lv Zhi, and then miraculously became the concubine of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the empress, and later the Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager...I think this character is very interesting..."

"...You write it first, and then bring it to me!"

"Um…"

Look, it's done...

If you are talented, you can do whatever you want!
