Chapter 165
"Two filmings and three later stages, and the rest are here. At the beginning, the contract was signed separately." Adrian knew he didn't explain clearly, "The fifth version of the script added Weber's name!! He owns half of the script !!"

"." Cai Cai understands even if he doesn't understand the law, "So, he can make a new start with the script and shoot, right?"

Adrian nodded, "Is it convenient for you now? Your agent is already over there, you come here together."

Cai Cai suppressed his anxiety, and came to the crew with Adrian. It was obvious that the news had already spread, and the crew hadn't started work. There was a look of bewilderment on every face, but not to the point of panic, which is very good .

There were many people sitting in the temporary conference room. When Cai Cai came in, George, Mei Zhang and the screenwriter all raised their hands to greet her, and then continued the discussion.Seeing that there was still a lawyer, Cai Cai sat next to the screenwriter.

The screenwriter is from Huaxia. His name is Huang Tao. He has a tender face but is proficient in three languages. To a lot of money.Then he changed majors across majors and learned screenwriting. Now he is studying and writing at the same time. He is quite well-known in the industry. George is looking for screenwriters, so he signed up and finally got selected.As a result, the script has now been taken away, and the ownership of the script has also been divided.

Only then did Cai Cai realize that something was wrong, "The script is on George's head. You are the co-writer, and the ownership also belongs to George. Why did you assign it to Weber?"

If Huang Tao said that he didn't care about the ownership of the script, that would be a lie, but in George's hands, he got a lot of money, so that's okay, it's better than many people in the circle who can't even be a co-screenwriter.But now, half of the script has been assigned to Weber, and he is really panicking.I didn't dare to talk to Cai Cai at first, but now I don't care.

"It's easy to share. Here, directors and screenwriters are the ones who get the most money, which is much higher than actors. George wants to raise Weber, so he naturally has to give him a very high share." Huang Tao originally thought, this time I'm about to graduate, and I finally made a fortune, and then I went back to my country.After returning to China, if I can continue to work as a screenwriter, it’s fine. If not, I can find a job to work and write something to earn some pocket money.As a result, the situation is now like this. It is not the worst thing for him to rewrite the script. The worst thing is that the script that has already been written falls into the hands of others and let others shoot it.
It wasn't Cai Cai that was photographed.
Seeing that Huang Tao was really depressed, Cai Cai comforted him, "It's okay, I will write the script again this time, I will fight for you and let you sign it."

To put it bluntly, this is a money fan like George who has been pecked at by geese all day long.He wanted to hold on to the script, get more money and get a name. Obviously, he could only bear the title of screenwriter of the original manuscript at most. He insisted on being the chief screenwriter, and he gave up half of the ownership in order to raise a cash cow, but now he is cheated. This is the biggest disadvantage of centralizing power in one person. If the script is in the hands of the screenwriter, there will definitely not be so many things.George doesn't have the skills of Jarvis. It's no wonder that he doesn't suffer when he meets someone like Weber, and there are ghosts scheming behind him.

Thinking of this, Cai Cai also sighed.He cheated George, but he also cheated her.Therefore, there is an insoluble enmity between her and Duoshe Ghost, because they are always in an antagonistic relationship.She didn't know the details of the original book, so she couldn't be a true prophet, so even if she met Weber first, she still couldn't avoid the current situation.

But Cai Cai is a bit regretful now, if I knew it, I would have reminded George yesterday
"The crew is saying that you are going to replace Weber, and now it's like this," Huang Tao reminded Cai Cai in a low voice.

What does "." have to do with me.Why didn't they complain when Weber delayed the filming progress and bullied the actors because of his personal desires?
Cai Cai's temper also came up, "Change them all!! They just don't want to do things for the money, they don't care if the slow progress of the shooting doesn't delay their making money, and now they can't make any money if they can't continue shooting, so they are in a hurry, is there any point Professional ethics!!"

"Cai Cai." Mei Zhang called out.Huang Tao immediately stepped aside and changed places with Cai Cai.

George opened his mouth to talk about the solution. It must be to call the police and pursue all relevant legal responsibilities of Weber. These will be handed over to the lawyer. The most important thing right now is the crew.

"It's definitely not your fault. I've already asked Adrian to deal with it. After all, it's all my fault that the crew is in trouble now." George simply admitted his mistake and apologized.

Sure enough, he is not an ordinary person. Cai Cai feels that none of his bigwigs will admit his mistakes so readily.

"I have already contacted a truly professional filming team, and they will be in place in the afternoon. Let them shoot other things for the time being, and see if the ones Weber shot before can be used. The script must be rewritten. "George glanced at Huang Tao, "Are you interested in signing in as a professional screenwriter? I will give you full ownership and authorship."

Huang Tao is stuck. It is possible to be a professional screenwriter. However, he is from Huaxia, so he must go back. He doesn't want to stay here for a long time. His parents are getting old, and he is also homesick.
George saw his refusal and glanced at Meizhang.This is what they discussed before.After all, Chinese people really love their families very much. Now it is not the past. There are fewer and fewer things in the West that can keep Chinese people.Therefore, even if many Chinese people come here to study abroad or even get married, half of them will go back to China.There are very few long-term Chinese employees in George's company.So he and Mei Zhang made a backup plan.

"If you have concerns about working here, would you like to sign with Wanqian Xinghui?" Mei Zhang said, "Really, after experiencing Weber's incident, we can only use our own people for the next screenwriter But you have paid a lot for this script before, and we are embarrassed to leave you alone, but it is impossible not to sign you. Then I will become a villain on behalf of Wanqian Xinghui and invite you to join. What do you think? Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t agree, the reward will be doubled for you.” But I also ask you to leave.

Huang Tao heard what Mei Zhang hadn't finished saying, but he didn't think there was any villainy in it. At this stall, they had nothing wrong with thinking about it.It is not a big problem to sign Wanqian Xinghui, and it is also a great thing to be able to arrange work before returning to China.However, the bad thing is to rewrite the script.
"The fifth edition is already the best version of this script that I can write. If I am asked to change it, I can't do it well." Huang Tao told the truth, otherwise it seemed like he was cheating on his job.

George waved his hand, "Well, you don't have to worry about it. It definitely can't be the original script. Weber owns half of the script. He doesn't dare to use the plot of my father's experience, but he will definitely use other plots. It is estimated that more than half of the script is Find someone to rewrite it and mix it together. Here, we will keep my father’s experience, and the rest will be rewritten.”

That's not bad, "I talked to Gordon. In fact, my father still has a lot of things. I didn't say anything. Now I'm rewriting the script, which happens to be used." Looking at Cai Cai, "It makes them want to get busy, we are here Let's talk about the outline of the new script, okay?" Cai Cai is an all-round genius who can write scripts, George plans to give Cai Cai a scriptwriter's signature for the first draft, and the official screenwriter will only be signed by Huang Tao.But the premise is that Huang Tao signed a contract with Cai Cai.
Huang Tao knew very well how he should choose.Just ask Mei Zhang to get a contract, and he will sign it now.Meizhang was already prepared, and directly opened an electronic version of the contract. After waiting for the paper version, he explained it to the company and asked the company to send someone to sign it. "This is a contract from our company's comprehensive editorial department. Your current job The content is the editor of the film and television group, if you want to transfer to the variety show group or the publicity group, you can apply within the department, of course, part-time jobs are also possible." Let me explain the main points first, so that Huang Tao doesn't think this contract is too detailed.

"The editorial manuscript bonus and share are different for each group, that's why they are so detailed. Just watch it first, don't worry."

George and Cai Cai were not in a hurry. There was still plenty of time for the other assistant screenwriters and consultants to come over.

Seeing Huang Tao and Mei Zhang looking at the contract, George chatted with Cai Cai, "It's like filming for fun, nothing happened, I just want to shoot well, you don't know about big and small things, don't you know before?" The head of the financial team, the money ran away. There is no penny in the books of the entire crew.”

"." Cai Cai's eyes widened.Although I have heard that there is money in the books of the crew and there is no money, but this is the first time I heard that there is really no money.

"Have you recovered?" Cai Cai asked.

George smiled, "I haven't finished yet. It's not a big deal that the finance team leader ran away with the money. The money can always be earned back. But although you are underage, I don't hide it from you. One of the makeup team The make-up artist and the assistant director had an affair, both of them were married and had children, and they were blackmailed by a video"

"." Cai Cai pouted, good guy, good guy! ! "Is there any more?" This sounds like a follow-up.

"Yes, why not?" George said helplessly, "If not, I wouldn't be so depressed."

"The person who blackmailed the makeup artist and the assistant director was an extra. He asked for a lot of close-up shots from the assistant director. He didn't care whether they would be used or not. Then this person was jealous of another extra. He got something allergenic and sent him to the hospital in anaphylactic shock, and now the marks on his face have not disappeared.”

"." This crew should be a melon-producing crew, so many melons are enough to make a series.

"The group performer who was allergic called the police, and then the crew was fined because of potential safety hazards. This led to the matter of the makeup artist and the assistant director. If it weren't for Adrian's quick response, it is estimated that the entire network is now full of us There's a scandal with the crew."

Cai Cai didn't know what to say.

George wiped his face, "I know, you Huaxia have a power-on ceremony to pay homage to the ancestors, I was wondering, should we also worship?"

"." Look, what a foreigner has been forced into.

Cai Cai doesn't care, "If you want to ask for peace of mind, you can ask. I can do it." The main thing is, "Cao Xin and the others told me before that I noticed that there might be a problem with the atmosphere in the crew. To put it bluntly, Part of the root cause is you, you don’t want to delegate power, and Weber’s team has never really made a commercial film, and they messed up with each other, and chaos arose. I have always paid attention to professional things and left them to professional people. Before You firmly believe that Weber and the others are professional, and now it seems that they can't even hold back a crew."

Most crews need one or two soul characters.More than half of them are directors and protagonists, and there are also directors or protagonists who solo the entire group. The main function is to lead the overall atmosphere of the crew.For example, in the Empire crew, when Jarvis got angry, the cafeteria didn't dare to chop meat loudly.But in the Misty film crew, if she gets too ng, she will become anxious, and the whole crew will feel like they are on fire.Conversely, let the crew work overtime continuously, and when the employees are very tired, Jarvis and she will do something funny to make the employees laugh and relax.

Weber is a director who doesn't care about the progress of the filming, and let the whole crew accompany him to do free work.George is nepotism and values ​​profit. He said it was a three-party producer, but because she didn't join the crew, Cao Xin and Sichen didn't have enough weight. As a result, there wasn't a heavyweight actor in the crew who could stand up to Weber and George, which caused the whole crew to be disorganized. Unprofessional.As a result, there have been so many horse arrest incidents, and the crew has been ruined from the inside out.

"So, you can't be too serious about being a person, and you can't be too serious about doing things." George sighed, "I just made this one, and I won't work so hard again."

"You've already signed a team. It's a pity not to continue." Although Fengbiao Entertainment's most famous project is a reality show, George is a genius in film and television dramas. It's a pity that he no longer makes movies.

George quickly explained, "It's not that I won't make movies anymore. I won't be so serious about making movies again. Don't you feel this way? You obviously have high hopes and made a lot of efforts, but the result is not good. It's better not to make movies." The kind of hard work I have done in my life. There are not many things that I have really worked hard, but the rewards are good. Just on this movie alone, the harder I work, the more useless it becomes. You say, I am not wronged."

Um, you are really wronged to say that, but in fact, it is really not the case.

"You used to make bad movies, and the audience expected you to be as bad as possible, so no matter how bad you do, a large number of audiences will give you the bottom line. You have to understand that this is not success, this is bad performance. You have no If you are successful, you just turn it into a sensational thing, entertaining the audience, and you just make money. But in your opinion, making money is success, that is, if you don’t work hard, you will get rich returns. No. The audience paid for your bad performance. The direction of your efforts is towards the bad, so it’s not that you didn’t work hard. It’s just that you worked hard.”
