"Okay." Manager Huang nodded.
Xu Dashi added: "Our estimated production cost is 650 million. Among them, we will attract some investment, and there will also be some investment promotion, etc. You don't have to worry about these."
"Then let's talk about the script." Manager Wu from the development department said, "We have read Tan Mo's script. As far as the two episodes so far, it is very good."
"However, the development of our series is based on the model of American dramas, and the creation of scripts. We also plan to try it and form a screenwriting team according to the model of American dramas." Manager Wu said.
Xu Dashi and Yan Zhengxing, the general manager of the TV drama division, both looked at Manager Wu.
Why haven't they heard Manager Wu talk about this
"The entire screenwriting team discusses the plot with each other and strives to make the quality of the script the highest within the scope." Manager Wu said, "At the same time, we will invite top screenwriters in the industry to serve as chief screenwriters and lead the team to work together."
Tan Jinqi frowned and said solemnly: "I don't agree!"
Manager Wu seemed to have expected that he would say this, so he said: "Director Tan, don't get excited first. I made such a suggestion because Tan Mo has no experience in screenwriting. Of course, I know that she is the director of "The Biography of Wei and Jin" A screenwriter who can independently complete such a large-scale historical drama is indeed very powerful."
"However, we cannot ignore that she is familiar with history and has a good grasp of historical details. To sort out historical events, the plot between each historical event only needs to be naturally transitioned." Manager Wu Said, "But this drama is completely different. It relies entirely on creativity. All the plots in the middle are created based on inspiration. There is no reference."
"Event conflicts, emotional development, etc., must be logical. In addition, the pace is very fast, and a lot of plots are needed to fill it up. Tan Mo has no experience, so it is difficult to control the degree. Especially now it involves a person. It's a matter of scale." Manager Wu said, "Some plots can be filmed, and some cannot. There is scale in what can be filmed. Wherever you can film, just focus on the key points."
"This requires a very experienced screenwriter to grasp where these degrees are, to coordinate the rhythm and development of the entire plot, to lead the entire team, and things will become much simpler." Manager Wu said.
"I don't agree." Tan Jinqi said coldly, "This entire script is Tan Mo's idea. The structure of the entire story was built by Tan Mo alone. Even if a screenwriting team is to be formed, Tan Mo will be the chief screenwriter. .”
In front of outsiders, Tan Jinqi just calls Tan Mo, which makes Tan Mo look more professional.
Lest they feel that Tan Mo is not professional enough.
Manager Wu also darkened his face.
This talk is to attract investment.
To be honest, he felt that Ke Fengneng was so happy to agree to invest in this drama, and also let Tan Jinqi, a complete newcomer with no experience and no works before, to serve as the director of such a large production, just because of Wei Zhiqian's On face.
If Wei Zhiqian is left out of the discussion, where will the right to speak come from
He is here and has no right to speak.
No, not even qualified to be here.
I wouldn’t have asked him to film this movie at all!
Even this script will not be followed!
"Since you said you want to refer to the production model of American TV series, you should know. The production process of American TV series is that the chief screenwriter comes up with an idea and submits it to the TV station, and the TV station produces a pilot episode. After passing the test, the screenwriter who proposed the idea will serve as the pilot. The chief screenwriter is here to form a screenwriting team. The entire script is controlled by the chief screenwriter."
"So, even if a team is to be formed, Tan Molai should be the chief screenwriter, and she should decide the composition of the team." Tan Jinqi said, "In addition, because of the way American dramas are produced and broadcasted, they adopt one episode per week. The broadcast method is filming and broadcasting at the same time. At the same time, the screenwriter will adjust the plot at any time based on the audience's feedback and the actors' schedule issues."
"Also because of the tight time schedule, each member of the team performs their own duties. Some people are responsible for writing characters, some are responsible for story structure, some are responsible for designing plots, and the chief screenwriter is the main writer."
"But this season of Ke Feng Theater, although the broadcast method is based on American dramas, the filming method still adopts our custom. After filming, it will be broadcast." Tan Jinqi said coldly, "Of course, many dramas now also have screenwriters It’s a team thing. There’s a head writer there, and other people are in supporting roles.”
"But Tan Mo could finish "The Biography of Wei and Jin" by himself back then, and now he can finish writing this play by himself." Tan Jinqi said coldly, "Of course, forming a team can save Tan Mo a lot of things. Do you want to The team is also decided by Tan Mo. If it is formed, the chief screenwriter must be Tan Mo. And no one in the team can challenge the authority of the chief screenwriter. If you consciously have been in the screenwriting profession for a long time and have rich experience, you can challenge the authority of the chief screenwriter."
Manager Wu's face darkened at Tan Jinqi's lack of praise.
"I'm telling you honestly, but you're pushing the envelope even further." Manager Wu said coldly, "To tell you the truth, we have no shortage of good scripts in this theater season. There are more than a dozen scripts delivered to us every day, among which There are many with depth and content. Compared with those, although this script is new, it is actually a bit fast food. If not... "
If it weren't for Wei Zhiqian...
"Manager Wu!" Seeing that what he said didn't sound right, Xu Dashi immediately shouted, "We decided to film this script after research, and we all think it's good. Since you think it's not good, why didn't you tell us during the meeting?"
"I was thinking that since you want to film it, let's do it. The worst thing is to hire an experienced screenwriter to take control of it. Let's not talk about the results. At least there won't be any mistakes."
"Manager Wu." Tan Mo said quietly at this time, "Let me remind you that I won the Tulip Award for Best Creation. And I am the youngest winner in history. You can count the number of people who have won this award. There are several screenwriters. I am the youngest big screenwriter.”
Everyone: "..."
They just think that Tan Mo is the screenwriter of "The Biography of Wei and Jin".
I forgot that Tan Mo also won the Tulip Award.
Manager Wu: “…”
"You said that when I wrote the script of "The Biography of Wei and Jin", I took advantage of history and just connected historical events. You are more professional than the judges of the Tulip Award. If that is the case, why did they give me this award? Why don't I win now? Call the judges to ask?"
Tan Jinqi raised his eyebrows and smiled.
It was rare for Tan Mo to be so strong in front of outsiders.
He has a small mouth and refuses to take any losses.
"As the manager of the production department, you may be professional in production, but when it comes to scripts, let professionals do professional things." Tan Mo said.
