Chapter 2 Screenwriters under the age of 20

Chapter 2 Screenwriters under the age of 20
Magic City, an office building in Baoshan

Feeling distressed, he paid the fare, Wei Yang went up to the seventh floor according to the address, and found his destination under the guidance of the front desk.

Blue Whale Film and Television Company!
In his previous life, Wei Yang had never heard of this company, but there are too many companies in the entertainment industry, and he doesn't care about the future of this company, he only cares about the present.

After entering the door, he made it clear what he came for, and not long after, a man in a suit in his 30s approached Wei Yang in the reception room.

"You...you are Wei Yangwei...teacher?"

The man in the suit was obviously a little surprised at Wei Yang's youth, and the title "teacher" was also somewhat reluctant.

"I don't dare to be a teacher, you can call me Wei Yang or Xiao Wei."

After half a year of rebirth, Wei Yang has gotten used to acting tender, and today he is Party B again, so he is very considerate to help him out.

"Then I'm sorry, I really didn't expect you to be so young and handsome, completely different from the screenwriters I've come into contact with before."

The man in the suit was amazed and revealed his identity, "My name is Sun Wei, and I am the vice president of our Blue Whale Film and Television Company."

"Hello, Mr. Sun."

Wei Yang is young and handsome, youthful and sunny, if it is a female vice president who likes puppies, at least +50 favorability.

"Let's go up, Director Zheng and Director Liu are waiting for you up there."

There were leaders waiting, and Sun Wei didn't exchange pleasantries for too long. He led Wei Yang to the end of the office area, knocked on an office door, and led Wei Yang in.

The office area is not small, and there are two people sitting in it. A big fat man wearing a gold necklace sits behind the desk, weighing nearly 300 jins, with two walnuts coiled in his hand, filling the boss chair under him.

Sun Wei was the first to introduce: "This is Zheng Guang, the chairman of our company."

Wei Yang greeted, "Hello, Mr. Zheng."

Big fat man Zheng Dong glanced up at Wei Yang, nodded his head slightly, then continued to coil the walnuts, paying more attention to the computer in front of him.

Sun Wei obviously knew that Chairman Zheng was not the rightful owner, so he introduced another bald middle-aged man sitting on the sofa.

"This is Director Liu Junjie, you are also an insider, you should have heard of it."

"I know, the director of "The Prince Turns into a Frog" has known his name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today."

Wei Yang's appearance as a little fan is not all pretending, he recognized this at a glance just now, and he is indeed a well-known director in the field of small screens.

Liu Junjie is a native of Taiwan, with extremely senior qualifications. He has been a director since 1982. He has been a director for more than 40 years and has produced countless works.

In addition to the above-mentioned "Prince Turns into a Frog", there are also popular masterpieces such as "Why Shengxiaomo", "Shan Shan Comes" and "This Life With You".

Long admiration is a function word, but when you hear the name, you can directly point out the director of "The Prince Turns into a Frog", which shows that Wei Yang really understands something.

Liu Junjie's smile became more cordial: "You wrote the script?"

Wei Yang nodded, Liu Junjie was a little curious: "How old are you this year?"

"November this year is exactly twenty."

Liu Junjie touched his bald head and said with emotion: "Young people are awesome."

But he didn't doubt anything, because "The Best of Us" tells the story of high school students, which fits Wei Yang's age.

This is what Wei Yang deliberately did. The scripts he wrote all have three characteristics.

First, the cost is small, the subject matter is explosive, and the hope of making it into a TV series is even greater.

Second, there is a suitable role for him to facilitate his detour.

Third, it is in line with his current situation and a reasonable scope of creation, which is not suspicious.

Sure enough, Liu Junjie didn't think there was anything wrong, but Sun Wei was more puzzled.

"I also read the scripts of the previous episodes. Why is the main perspective of the heroine instead of the hero?"

"Because of this kind of theme of youth growth + campus + ambiguity, girls love to watch it more, and it is more substituting from a girl's perspective, which is beneficial to the ratings."

Liu Junjie nodded in agreement. He has filmed many idol dramas and knows the routines in them, so the themes are somewhat different, but the principles are the same.

With love elements as the main line, the main perspective of the heroine is better than that of the hero.

"This book is very innovative. Many campus themes in mainland China and even in Taiwan province are copied from "Meteor Garden" or the so-called aristocratic schools in Japan and South Korea.

The campus of your book is the most authentic and local flavor I have ever seen, such a setting will greatly enhance the audience's sense of substitution..."

It can be seen that Liu Junjie liked "The Best of Us" quite a lot, and talked a lot about his impressions, and Wei Yang also talked about some of his thoughts, and the conversation was very happy.

However, Liu Junjie only read the synopsis and the scripts of the first ten episodes. After talking about the later stage of the plot, he couldn't figure out the context, so he asked Wei Yang.

"Did you bring the full script?"

Wei Yang patted his backpack: "I printed two paper copies, and a USB flash drive for the electronic manuscript."

"Then take it out and have a look. To be honest, I'm still thinking about the plot behind it."

Sun Wei urged, Wei Yang smiled shyly, but there was no movement in his hands.

Just kidding, you read the script and copy it later, how can I make money?

For such a complete submission, old screenwriters know how to do it. If you don’t sign a contract and lose money, it’s impossible to give Party A a complete manuscript.

Liu Junjie understood the rules, and turned his head to motion to Sun Wei: "Mr. Sun, contract."

"The young man is quite knowledgeable."

Sun Wei muttered, turned around and went out to fetch the draft contract, and looked at Wei Yang with a smile.

"We don't pay according to the number of episodes anymore, the price is 2 yuan, how about it?"

"The Best of Us" has a total of 24 episodes, 2 yuan for a single episode of 800+, this price is not bad for a pure newcomer screenwriter.

Wei Yang knew that he had little room for bargaining, but he did not nod directly, but expressed it.

"I can ask for a little less manuscript fee, but I would like to add a condition."

Sun Wei frowned, feeling that the newcomer was a bit greedy, and was about to speak when Liu Junjie stopped him.

"Tell me."

"Director Liu, I'm actually a student in the Acting Department of STA. Here's my student ID card. See if I can give you a role if I'm qualified."

Wen Xian knew the elegant meaning, Sun Wei was slightly stunned: "Actor, screenwriter, you are going to earn two shares of money."

"Mr. Sun, I earn two jobs, but I also work two jobs. The remuneration is negotiable. I mainly want to learn and practice under Director Liu."

Wei Yang's attitude is very low, and he is even willing to give up economic benefits in exchange for acting opportunities.

Liu Junjie looked at Wei Yang with consideration in his eyes, Sun Wei looked around, and Wei Yang waited patiently for a response.

The three of them were silent here, annoyed Zheng Dong on the side: "What a big deal, it's getting dark, Lao Liu gave me a happy word, signed a contract and went to sing K."

The boss sent a message, but Liu Junjie stopped carrying it: "Xiao Wei's appearance is good, you can try it."

"The manuscript fee and remuneration..."

Sun Wei hit the nail on the head and wanted to bargain again, but Zheng Zheng waved his hand impatiently.

"According to the amount of the contract, how much money do I need? Don't delay, sign the contract quickly. I have made an appointment for the private room and the script is set. Let's go celebrate."

"..."

Zheng Dongcai is rich and generous, and he only wants to go out to sing K. Even if Sun Wei wants to, he has nowhere to do it, so he can only quickly get the contract done, and then sign it with Wei Yang, so as not to delay the boss's fun.
