What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 40 This Is Two Thunders
A small screenwriter who was unmarried and had a big girlfriend's belly was urged to marry, but the mother-in-law asked for a sky-high price gift, so she took her fiancee to live in the cheapest small hotel to press for the debt.

The atmosphere was a bit sad, but it wasn't bloody. After all, the story was old-fashioned and full of fireworks, unlike the work of a cutting-edge screenwriter full of imagination. Nie Wen gradually believed that this small screenwriter was indeed in trouble.

But sympathy does not exist. Some things are just to fight for one's breath and show an attitude that big companies should not be easily stolen by others.

Just like Wang Sicong would rather be enforced by the court than take the initiative to pay back the money, the reason is the same.

As the only son of the richest man, Wang Sicong obviously does not lack those tens of millions, but he is unwilling to compromise with those Xiaoxiao who are trying to take advantage of you.

Yang Shu had no choice, even Sister Tao said, and compromised as much as possible for a smooth settlement.

Then take out all the works and let the other party choose. Fortunately, he is a man, and Nie Wen is not interested in men, otherwise he might choose something else.

Because of his professional requirements, Nie Wen carried a laptop everywhere he went, so when Yang Shu took out the heavy laptop from his backpack, he didn't wonder why he was carrying this big guy when he came to check out.

The laptop is old and old, and there is an engine sound when it is turned on.

Nie Wen was a little puzzled: "When filming "The Lover at the Table", I remember that you used an Apple laptop on the set. What is this?"

"That's a prop," Yang Shu said very plainly: "That notebook belongs to Ms. Jiang. At that time, she not only provided the notebook, but also lent father's watch to the crew."

The watch used for filming was indeed Jiang Shiyu's father's, and Nie Wen knew it.

The notebook started very slowly, and Yang Shu was not idle. He asked Nie Wen, "Still looking for a script? Haven't you finished the series of short plays you want to shoot? It's been five months."

Nie Wen said indifferently: "It seems that you don't care too much about the situation in the industry. The first season of our short drama series "Unique Tales of the World" was broadcast in early October. Didn't you notice?"

Yang Shu was a little apologetic: "I'm sorry, I've been so troubled both internally and externally during this period of time, I don't have the mind to read, how is my grade?"

Nie Wen didn't say it clearly, but his attitude said it all: "You'll know if you go up and see for yourself."

Later, Yang Shu watched it on the Internet. The ten episodes of the first season, the ten scripts were of average standard, which can be regarded as in line with the basic level of the industry. They are all stories that know the end after reading the beginning.

The ratings range from high to low, with an average of almost 80 hits per episode in a month, only a quarter of that of "Lovers at the Table".

If Ruhe really invests tens of millions and continues to achieve such results, then in the end there may only be a slight surplus, a profit of more than ten percent, and it will not make much money.

Everyone is testing the waters in online dramas. Ruhe is not too late to act. The first season of "The Legend of the World" is average but not bad. Besides, other works such as "Lovers at the Table" have made money. It seems that they plan to make persistent efforts. .

Nie Wen endured the extremely slow reaction of his notebook, and watched Yang Shu click on a folder called "Script".

There are seven scripts in it, and Yang Shu said: "This is all my painstaking efforts in the past two years."

The title does not reveal the direction of the content, such as "The Girl on the Snow Mountain", "The Lady in the Mirror", "Grandma's Secret", "The Website That Curses", etc.

Nie Wen moved the notebook over to operate by himself, and opened and browsed the works one by one.

"The Girl on the Snow Mountain" is about a plane crash on the snow mountain, only five people survived, including two girls, one of them was seriously injured and abandoned by others, and the survivors were found nearby a cabin...

"The Lady in the Mirror" is about the mirror in the hospital, which is rumored to be faulty. As long as you say a spell to the mirror, bad things may happen...

"Grandma's Secret" tells the story of a granddaughter exchanging her body with her dying grandmother's wish, but she doesn't want to reveal a horror story...

……

Nie Wen read it quickly, and finished reading the seven stories in less than half an hour. In the end, he was both surprised and regretful: "These stories of yours are very exciting, but why are they all horror and suspense?"

Yang Shu nodded: "Yes, I am good at writing this. In fact, "Lovers at the Table" was also modified from the concept of a thriller script. The domestic market lacks creativity and has a large gap. Someone should fill it."

"You don't have any other scripts?"

"No, does Producer Nie think I'm a god? It's already hard to save seven scripts."

This is true, whoever has nothing to save seven works will not publish them.

However, "The Lady in the Mirror" is too scary, and "The Cursed Website" is somewhat anti-social. Even if online dramas are self-examined and self-censored, various platforms may not dare to take the risk of broadcasting them.

Nie Wen admired "Girl on the Snow Mountain" and "Grandma's Secret" very much. The stories are extremely exciting, the ideas are ingenious and the lines are exquisite, and they are the kind of works that are likely to become classics.

I have to say that he has a good eye. These two films are the masterpieces of horror and horror in "Wonderful Stories of the World".

Moreover, these two works are different from those works that emphasize the horror atmosphere. Although they also involve supernatural powers and soul exchanges, there are no horror shots throughout the script. Basically, they use lines to analyze the deepest darkness of human nature in the most profound way, leaving the audience with real horror. aftertaste space.

Nie Wen immediately judged that these two works are the kind of works that are worth producing and broadcasting even if they take risks, and even if they are subsequently banned, they can bring huge fame effects.

Sometimes the production company is not afraid to block the work. Didn't Huayi Brothers know before they made "The Devil Is Coming" that they would not pass the trial and go overseas?
They obviously expected it, but judging from the later results, it was obviously worth it.

But it is a pity that the other five works have been written, but the two works "The Girl on the Snow Mountain" and "Grandma's Secret" have not been completed yet, and there are some details left to be added.

"Why haven't you finished writing these two scripts?"

"It took me a long time to conceive these two scripts. I have a lot of things recently, so I don't have the mood to write."

Nie Wen turned around and took out a USB flash drive from his bag and handed it to Yang Shu: "Copy these two scripts to me, and I'll send them to the director to have a look. If they are satisfied, maybe the above will agree that the company will advance the money to settle the previous copyright fee." Cleared."

Yang Shu didn't bother to talk nonsense anymore, so he copied two semi-finished scripts to him.

Nie Wen hurried away with a USB flash drive, and came back 10 minutes later happily: "Our director is interested in these two works and sympathizes with your personal experience, but your script has not been completed yet."

He refilled the pure water for Yang Shu and handed it over: "You have to finish the script as soon as possible."

Yang Shu stood up and took the water: "It's no problem. If it goes well, I can finish writing in half a month. So about the copyright fee?"

Nie Wen was very forthright: "What I said is true. Although the platform has not yet settled the settlement, the company can pay in advance. How about this? I will ask the finance to call you 40 first, and then call you another 21 after the script is completed. How about it?"

Yang Shu became anxious: "This won't work. Producer Nie will help me find a way. Her mother wants a gift of 50 yuan. I can't tell people that I owe [-] yuan first."

Nie Wen snorted and laughed: "You are honest enough, tell others how much money you have earned."

"It's too late to regret it now. Producer Nie will help out. I will write the script as soon as possible to ensure the quality, and then I will hand it over to you and it will be over."

Nie Wen said it meaningfully: "Yes, the key is this sentence, leave it to me and it's over."

He seemed to have made up his mind: "For your sake, I will apply to give you 51 yuan, and the remaining [-] yuan will be settled when the script is handed over."

"Thank you very much," Yang Shu warmly shook hands with Nie Wen: "I really appreciate the accommodation."

When signing the contract, I left the card number, Nie Wen went through the formalities, Yang Shu signed it and handed it over to the accountant, and the money arrived before noon.

With 51 yuan in hand, Yang Shu's heart is settled, and all the next work can be started.

Everyone was also very happy. For this reason, Yang Shu invited Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu to have dinner to celebrate. The capital was already cold in late autumn, and the three of them ate hot pot.

While the steam was steaming, Jiang Shiyu's face was like a peach blossom, and he was extremely contemptuous of Ruhe's request for two other scripts: "What kind of bullshit big company is doing such a shitty thing, it's disgusting."

Yang Shu never said that he was looking for an actress to cooperate with. After all, he was a bit of a joke. Instead, he comforted her: "I chose horror and suspense for them. This kind of subject matter is too small. Even the top works are not well-received. Now Although web dramas are loose, small studios like ours can’t take risks to shoot, so it’s better to let them have a chance to be released.”

This sounds nice, but Liu Man is a little puzzled: "I remember that you have finished writing these two scripts. They were originally called "Snow Mountain Ghost" and "Grandma". Why did you change the name and make it a semi-finished product?"

Jiang Shiyu also asked: "That's right, and it will take half a month to finish the draft for them. If you hand in the written one directly, you don't have to deposit the [-]."

Yang Shu put down his chopsticks, and slowly put away his smile: "The 61 yuan was originally the manuscript fee for "Lovers at the Table". I promised to let them pick two scripts and hand them over to them after writing. You have to pay extra.”

Liu Man was a little surprised: "How can they charge more money? They still owe money, and they have already copied the semi-finished script. Without you continuing to write, they can find someone to complete it."

"I made some preparations before I went to meet them. Do you still remember that I went to Jiaxing and Hangzhou a few days ago?"

"Remember, you said you were helping relatives."

"You two should also know about copyright registration?"

"Of course I know that if you write something, you will be protected by registering the copyright, but you don't have to register. In fact, if you write something, the copyright will naturally be protected, but it is more secure after registration."

"I went to Jiaxing, and it cost 2000 yuan to register [-] characters as an agent, so I went to Hangzhou again. The Provincial Press and Publication Bureau only cost [-] yuan to register [-] words, and several scripts cost me more than [-] yuan."

Both Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu were shocked: "So you have registered all these scripts, and Ruhe will have to pay if you use them?"

Yang Shu said to himself: "Because the copyright registration takes a month to complete, and now half a month has passed, so it is safer to give them a semi-finished product today and wait half a month before submitting the manuscript."

Jiang Shiyu was very excited: "You are too bad. In fact, there are very few people who register their works. Ruhe would never have expected this move."

Liu Man also gloated and added: "They are too arrogant, and even think that you don't understand the tricks of copyright registration, not to mention that half-finished scripts cannot be registered."

In the smoke, Yang Shu shook his head and continued to eat the meat: "This kind of thing is very boring, and I have to do it because they played with the spirit of the contract first."

Jiang Shiyu narrowed his eyes: "It's fine if Ruhe doesn't make these two works, but if he does, it will be two thunderbolts."

　There are some plots in the front, which may be a little longer, but it can also lay the groundwork for the fierce competition in the later stage. Today, Monday, it is still being recommended. I hope everyone will continue to recommend tickets and monthly tickets for support. Thank you very much.
