At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 89 Creating a Character

"Wei Xiaobao has seven wives, our hero must design at least five!"

"...Miss Xiao, the leader of the rebel army... plus a little master who taught him martial arts, how come two more?"

A confidante, a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman...the love between master and apprentice...

How can we make it together?
"Can you set up an exotic princess!"

Zhao Xin also joined in. Obviously, everyone in the dormitory is very optimistic about "The Best Family"...

They came up with ideas one after another.

Shen Xudong listened quietly at the side, "The Best Housekeeper", his favorite heroine is of course...Xu Zhiqing!

A woman can say "The battle of Bayanhot. The king's reputation has risen. Go deep into the grassland and cut off the enemy's food. With flesh and blood. Fend off the enemy outside the country. It makes the barbarians frightened. I am grateful for the grace of the king. I can't think of it." There is only one thing. Please do not read: Zhiqing can die. Helan Mountain will never fall!"

"Your heart, Zhiqing knows. But the future is long, and thorns are everywhere. I hope you will cherish yourself and don't let others miss you. I will wear a costume. I will be half buried in the sand. I will pray day and night, and I will wait for my triumphant return!"

This is too shocking, so I must add a heroine who teaches at Kyoto Academy...

"Fourth, say one!"

Shen Xudong said casually: "Mrs. Xiao... I think... take everything, absolutely innovate!"

"roll!"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Let me be serious..."

……

"The Best Home Ding" received the manuscript under the name of Tianmei Studio.

Ma Zhongjun offered a price of [-] yuan for a single episode, which was regarded as the market price.

At present, the income of domestic screenwriters is like this: screenwriters with well-known works are paid about 5 yuan per episode, and [-] yuan per episode for the top-line...

Shen Xudong and the others wrote the prime-time work "Dragon Babu". Although it has not been broadcast yet, Shen Xudong himself is a well-known writer...

Give an episode of [-], not too much...

In addition, it must be said that the income of screenwriters at this stage is quite acceptable!

The first-line actors, the salary is only 1 to 10. Among the many professions that make a living from writing, the screenwriter can be ranked first. There are [-] million writers, and only [-] can drive a good car. , which is perfectly normal.

It's just that the screenwriter's income has not increased much since then, but the actor's salary has soared hundreds of times...

Oh, and the above are all TV screenwriters.

film writers…

Anyway, Shen Xudong has not thought about making movies for the time being.

The current market environment is very bad, basically losing money...

He doesn't want to resist the burden of saving Chinese films for the time being, and he can't resist it either!
In addition, to say a word, the Tianmei Studio project is divided into, in a word: half and half...

It’s not about equal distribution, but whoever takes over the project can get half of it. For example, for the project of “The Best Homeboy”, Shen Xudong took half of the script. Liao Gaoxiang, the chief screenwriter, can get the remaining 60%. There are 40% left, divided equally among the four...

Because all four are involved...

unfair?
It's already fair, why did people ask Tianmei Studio to write the script?

What matters is Shen Xudong...

Including "No. 60 in the World", Shen Xudong will also share half, and as the chief screenwriter, he will get the remaining [-]%...

……

In mid-June, Shen Xudong started book signing nationwide...

Basically weekends, five major cities across the country, BJ, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Changsha...

Shanghai is owned by Shen Haobo, the country's four major book markets, there is no Shanghai...

In fact, selling books is secondary, the main thing is to accept media interviews and create character designs!
Oh, and now it's called a profile...

In Shen Haobo's view, the personal image of a writer is very important, even more important than the work itself!

Why is Han Han so popular?
The main reason is that the image of genius writer + rebellious teenager is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Shen Haobo's original words, "Like a Boy, Speeding", there is no sense of fiction in the middle, and the journal is messy, lengthy, and boring... But it sold 10,000+ copies, and it was the champion of literary works last year! "

Of course, it is impossible for Shen Xudong to copy Han Han's character...

Learn from it!
First of all, it is necessary to shape the image of a genius.

For example, when asked why he wrote "No. [-] in the World", he replied: "Before I wrote a column for "BJ Youth", commented on many martial arts characters, and received a lot of attacks, saying that I don't even have my own works, so I am not qualified to comment. …and then I wrote "No. [-] in the World!"

In order to gag other people's mouths, I write casually...

Secondly, let's talk about martial arts and establish a sober image:
""No. [-] in the World" should be my only martial arts novel, and I won't write it in the future!"

"The so-called martial arts is written with martial arts. Wuyi is described, because the Chinese culture is extensive and profound, astronomy and geography, three religions and nine streams, all of which can be integrated into the description of martial arts. From music, art, chess, poetry, medicine, cooking and so on. Karma, you can write about martial arts, but the word chivalry is the most difficult to describe."

"He draws his sword to help when the road is injustice, this is a hero; the turmoil in the rivers and lakes defeats the demon sect, this is a hero; quelling the flames of war for the country and the people, this is a hero. The word "xia" is written here and there, but the sentence "use martial arts to break the ban"."

"The basic routines have been written out, or it's about fresh clothes and angry horses, or the bloody hatred of orphans in the massacre, or the intrigue of many sects, or the chaos of fighting for the country and the people..."

"I couldn't come up with new ideas, so I sat together and created "No. [-] in the World"..."

Finally, of course, I promoted the TV series "No. [-] in the World".

"The adaptation rights have been sold, and the script is being created. It is expected to start in August...The directors are Feng Baiyuan and Cheng Xiaodong..."

"Yes, I am the screenwriter myself..."

"Although I'm just a novice screenwriter, I'm still the author of the original work. The producers and directors all respect me..."

……

In the early days of his debut, Han Han had a rebellious image of a talented young writer and "reading is useless", which caused a great uproar...

His exposure is not weaker than that of first-line stars!

Shen Xudong... is not that rebellious, nor dare to rebel...

At most, he is a genius martial arts writer...

This is really far from it!
The sales of "No. 50 in the World" exceeded [-], which is very impressive...

But at most, it has been popular in martial arts circles for a while, and there are not many media reports...

Therefore, this wave of book signings not only promotes "No. [-] in the World", but also mentions "Screening Room", "In-depth Analysis"...

"I'm from the Department of Chinese Opera and Literature. I like movies, and I also like movie history. "Screening Room" is an introduction to Hong Kong movies and TV... After that, I will do some history of the development of Hollywood genre movies..."

""In-depth Analysis" is actually an explanation of pull-up films. We have film appreciation courses, but what we study are some classic works, and few of them are commercial films... But I like watching commercial films very much, so I thought of it. Pull the film to explain the commercial film..."

"...It's all a coincidence. Three episodes of "The Screening Room" were produced. We couldn't find a broadcast platform, so we sent them to TV stations in various ways. It happened that Mr. Liu Chun, director of the BJ Program Center of Phoenix Satellite TV, saw it and liked it very much, so he bought it out. It's..."

"The price... It's not convenient for me to disclose, anyway, we signed a one-year contract, and the exclusive license fee exceeds 200 million..."

"Yes, I'm still in my freshman year, and I personally write the copywriting for each episode..."

"I'm just planning "In-depth Analysis", and my roommates are responsible for the specific execution...Zhao Linhai, Zhao Xin and Liao Gaoxiang, the three of them are also the co-screenwriters of "No. [-] in the World"..."

Enough, in fact, these are not important, just "exclusive licensing fee exceeding 200 million" is enough!
