Chapter 89: The finished product () draft ()(1/2)
Pu Jie doesn't care much about how his work is adapted.
After all, he didn't think his work was very good... There are still many NTr poisonous plots, which are not poisonous to adapt by the screenwriter, so it's good to watch.
Of course, the one that has passed the examination.
Otherwise... he will be very excited!
"Ahem! What are you thinking? Neiku Film and Television is a serious website, not a domestic brand such as Jingdong, Tianmei, and Jelly."
On the other hand, Fu Weng went to make a contract after Pu Jie agreed.
The contract states that if the script quality of the first three episodes is up to standard, half of the deposit will be paid in advance.
When I was filming with the team later, there was a labor fee of 100,000 yuan.
Producer Yang Chao gave him 500,000 yuan in the cost of adapting the script, but he only offered Pu Jie 400,000 yuan.
Originally, Fu Weng wanted to save the 100,000 yuan, after all, this was also the operation of the old TV station employee. But when he thought of Pu's understanding of righteousness and the reduction of rewards, he slapped himself twice and gave the money to Pu's in the form of labor fees.
Suddenly, he felt that he was much nobler.
"But... it's still a little bit short of Pubing's level."
Pu Jie didn't know that Fu Weng was so indifferent. He just wanted to earn this 400,000 yuan now.
It is definitely not possible to write randomly.
They are not stupid either.
By then, if the scripts of the first three episodes cannot be passed, he will become a clown.
The main reason why Pu Jie took this script is that it is summer vacation now, the school has no classes, and the roommates have left, so it’s good to write a script in addition to writing a book.
"Try it, according to my level, you can adapt it to whatever level you can."
The biggest difference between a script and a novel is... The script is audio-visual language, and the content must be expressed in scenes, actions, and dialogues, while the novel is written language, which can be expressed in inner dramas, emotional fluctuations and some metaphors, but these cannot be placed in a TV series, otherwise the protagonist will always rely on his inner monologue to promote the plot... It's so embarrassing!
If you want to change a novel into a script, you must cut off all the inner activities and emotions that the online novelist is best at, and abandon the long-winded writing and convert it into concise lens language to be considered qualified.
Of course, it is hard to explain the principles here in one or two sentences. Fortunately, Pu Jie learned his professional courses well, and Wang Xiang would occasionally give him some guidance, and the principles and application are OK.
The novel "The Rural Rogue Doctor" has a lot of rural language and dialogue, which is very down-to-earth. It is suitable for such a long 40-episode TV series, so it doesn't need to be modified. Pu Jie mainly changes the way the plots in the novel are promoted into camera language.
It's a bit difficult, but you can try it out.
Pu Jie’s biggest advantage is... He still remembers the pictures of these stories in his mind, and he knows which point in each story is the most interesting.
Just as Pu Jie was about to freeze his hands, Fu Weng took the draft contract and asked him to see if there was anything that could be changed.
Pu Jie glanced at it casually, and there was no problem, and then he saw the title of the signed drama.
"Wait...what is this drama called?"
""Rural Love", oh! I'm afraid that the original title will not be reviewed, and the producer changed it. Is there any problem?"
"Oh...no, no."
The problem is big!
Pu Jie remembered the TV series of the same name that was very famous in his previous life, and it was so popular all over the country!
Blow the wind of rural life in Northeast China to the whole country!
Every year, there is a film of the New Year holiday, and it is the one that dominates the list as soon as it comes out, and its popularity remains high.
Pu Jie used to think that there was something good about this kind of drama. It was not as good as the rustic ones, and only the elderly would watch it.
Then, one day when he was having dinner, he really didn't know what to look at, so he just clicked in and took a look...
Falled!
This is so beautiful!
Can't stop at all!
From then on, this drama became his must-see for dinner, and I watched 13 movies several times.
"Good...why did you see this name in this world..."
Suddenly, Pu Jie's eyes lit up.
He seemed to know how to change it!
......
Pu Jie worked diligently after writing for a week.
Fu Weng got the script of the first three episodes in his hand, washed his hands, and started reading it.
The script of the first three episodes tells the first story: The immortal dances to give away his son Guanyin.
The first story was told in the form of a script.
Liu Ergou is the protagonist, but other villagers in Taohua Village also show their faces.
The script retains the curiosity of the story, and the completion is very good. It is not as dark as the original work. Instead, it is like a farce created by Hu Zi, who is desperate, and then leads to the plot of Hu Zi's mother's cancer, as well as the village chief of Taohua Village, Widow Wang and others, as if they have unveiled a mysterious corner of Taohua Village, full of anticipation.
Overall, it's like... reading the novel again.
After reading it several times, Fu Weng clapped and applauded!
"Okay! OK! This is the embodiment of the screenwriter's ability to achieve the ultimate realm. No move is better than a move. The story is good enough. The extra changes will only destroy the story. Turning it into lens language is the best answer given to me by Pubian!"
"He used this script to tell me what it means to govern by inaction! This is confidence in his own work!"
"Now in our industry, many screenwriters look down on novel authors. They adapt their works in large quantities, add a few online jokes, and think they will get applause. In fact, it destroys the overall environment created by the author and loses their soul! Sure enough... only the original author understands his works best!"
"These 500,000 yuan is not in vain!"
But he looked carefully and found that... it was a little rough and the completion of some scenes was not high.
After thinking for a moment, Fu Weng slapped his thigh!
I understand!
This is a semi-finished product, just let him look at the first draft first, and if he is satisfied, he will complete the contents of some other small places.
He carefully called Pu Jie and told his questions over.
Pu Jie was silent for a moment and replied: "Well... that's it."
"I just knew! The content is definitely fine. Pu edited and refined the script and we can officially sign the contract."
Pu Jie hung up the phone.
That's a big deal!
This is already a finished product he has worked hard to write!
He read it several times, but he couldn't see where his script was not completed.
"It's broken... The level bottleneck has arrived. What should I do? Even after signing, I have to go with the team in the future... Time conflicts, if someone helps with it."
Um?
Pu Jie suddenly thought of two people.
"Professional team!"
Immediately, I called Zhang Wei: "Screenwriter Zhang, have you and Screenwriter Wang have any work recently?"
Zhang Wei: "Oh...we are fiddling with our original script!"
"Are you interested... help me with the script?"
Zhang Wei sighed: "Pu Bian, we two brothers have made enough guns over the years, and now we are not young. It is time to get some of our own careers. We are very confident that we can sell this script. I am really embarrassed..."
Pu Jie: "One person has 100,000 yuan, plus the right to sign."
Wang Jin snatched the phone: "I will go to Beijing Art University tomorrow and ask the guesthouse to prepare instant noodles. I love eating old sauerkraut!"
Then, Pu Jie heard the sound of packing things over there.
It seems that he is about to set off.
Pu Jie sighed: "Money... is such a good thing."
the next day.
Pu Jie handed over the script of the three episodes to the two who arrived in the company, letting them improve themselves, and then left.
The two of them took the script and read it.
Looking at each other.
"This story is OK, but the script...is a bit rough."
"Scene construction and transition are still a bit... immature."
"Is this the level of puppet weaving?"
“I don’t think it is…”
The two of them pondered for a moment, slapped their foreheads, and understood!
