MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 103 The first and third days of being popular
Yao Bianliang's request was written in great detail, with clear requirements for each clause and many remarks.
There are about five general profiles in black and bold:
1. Looking for a song and dance movie script, a simple love story that is more routine.
2. There are not too many ups and downs in the plot, and the main line needs to be clear.
3. The story should not be too real, it is best not to resonate with the audience.
4. Can't have more profound connotation, straightforward and simple or moaning without disease.
5. In order to distinguish it from the popular commercial dramas in the current market, reject any Su Shuangtian, and the commercial value of the script should not be too high.
In addition to these, there are more than 20 detailed rules below.
After reading the entire article, almost every request was unexpected, completely contrary to the requirements of most Party A.
Is this thing really a request that a normal person can come up with?
So, when someone shared this post in the screenwriter group chat, everyone immediately started talking about it.
【really? Is this mentally handicapped request a joke? Which Party A would reject a highly commercial book! 】
[By the way, this couldn't be someone who was bored and sent this kind of news to fool people, right? 】
[+1, this poster looks like a liar. 】
[Shouldn't be a liar, don't you see the authentication mark behind his ID? 】
[Eh, really, I have already paid a deposit to the platform... Could this be true? 】
…
As soon as Yao Bianliang woke up, he found that the news on his private message board had blown up.
"Why are there so many submissions?"
Yao Bianliang rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat up from the bed, looked at the "99+" news with a confused face, and fell into deep thought.
Is this the power of 500 royalties?
In one night, so many people came.
"But this is not right," Yao Bianliang didn't understand. "It takes time to create a movie script, not to mention, not everyone has the ability to write a 5 million script. How come there are so many people?"
Yao Bianliang clicked on those manuscripts with some incomprehension.
After a while, she silently exited the interface.
— None of these manuscripts seem to be normal!
Either I read it for a long time without knowing what to say, or there are a lot of wrong sentences, or the character design is very strange. In short, most of them are very bad works.
Yao Bianliang is sure that even if she shoots this kind of script, the system will not agree to it.
At the beginning, the reason why she chose to recruit screenwriters in the forum was that the scriptwriters here were not high-level, very unreliable, and it was easy to find suitable teammates.
However, now it seems that the level of these screenwriters is indeed not high... But, this is too low!
"what is happening?"
Confused, Yao Bianliang opened the comment section and sneaked into the chat channels of other screenwriters.
Everyone's speeches can be described as varied and varied.
[I feel like I can write this script! Isn't it just a three-no script with no commercial value, not exciting enough plot, and no profound connotation? It's so easy too! 】
[Friends, I have a scrap manuscript that was rejected by the magazine before. I will submit it for a try. Is there a chance that it will be successful? 】
[Brother, I rushed too, this Party A doesn't seem to be very smart. What if he was blind and fell in love with this scrap of mine? 】
Yao Bianliang: "..."
OK, case solved.
This group of people regarded her as a local tyrant with a lot of money.
In fact, these amateur screenwriters cannot be blamed entirely.
Yao Bianliang carefully read the content of the script, and it turned out that although the quality of the script was very average, it still met the requirements she wrote.
There is no commercial value, no exciting plot, not real enough, and not enough connotation.
Apart from the poor quality, there are no other disadvantages.
Yao Bianliang was silent.
Although she also wants to use these scripts, the problem is that the system will not agree!
After pondering for a while, Yao Bianliang finally opened the backstage and changed his acceptance message.
【Special Note:
High requirements for script quality! Contributors who try their luck don't bother! 】
…
This night, the moon and stars are thin.
When An Xincheng returned to the bedroom, as soon as he turned on the message notification, a series of jingling notifications came out.
Click to open it, and the chat has already started in the screenwriter group chat.
"Huh? A script of 5 million yuan?" Seeing the number marked on the receipt information, An Xincheng was slightly surprised.
5 million, which is already the level of top screenwriters in the industry.
Most of those who can afford this price have channels to know people in the industry, and can contact top-notch screenwriters through matchmaking.
That being the case, how could they go to such a small platform with mixed fish and dragons, and post such a request for receiving manuscripts that seems to be grandstanding?
You know, most of the screenwriters on these platforms are non-professionals. Many people regard script writing as a hobby, not even an introduction.
As for those screenwriters who have already joined a formal company, there is a high probability that they will not come to such a place.
Of course, there may also be excellent professional screenwriters in these places. But there is no doubt that the probability of encountering outstanding talents is pitifully small, which is tantamount to panning for gold in sand.
Therefore, except for small workshops that really can't recruit people, most Party A will not go here to pan for gold.
"Party A is really strange." An Xincheng couldn't help murmuring.
Ever since he collaborated with Yao Bianliang in "The Doctor", An Xincheng's net worth has gone up.
Even if he can't reach the ranks of well-known screenwriters, at least he can have a job as a screenwriter.
Now he rarely visits screenwriter group chats and forums, let alone posting resumes on them. But when he has nothing to do, he will still log in and have a look.
But this time, the price of up to 5 million aroused his curiosity.
"It's strange... The request of Party A seems to be more outrageous than the price of the manuscript fee."
An Xincheng read the above terms at a glance and fell silent.
I don't know if it's his illusion, but he always feels that this strange request gives people a feeling of deja vu.
It seems... When Yao Bianliang recruited him to join the job, the content requirements were very similar to him.
The recruitment content was once jokingly called by his friend, the studio specializes in recruiting waste employees.
And now, no matter how you look at it, the acceptance information seems to be trying to find a garbage script!
An Xincheng looked down and looked at the ID of the poster in the lower left corner.
—It was a name that made him extremely familiar.
"This recruiter is actually the person from Hudi Entertainment Studio?" An Xincheng was silent.
No wonder this strange style of painting is so similar, after a long time, it turned out to be an old acquaintance!
After the initial surprise, An Xincheng gradually came to terms with it.
So... so this script is what Teacher Yao needs?
An Xincheng immediately lifted his spirits and stood in awe.
If someone else made such a weird request, he might be suspicious. However, this is the script requested by Yao Bianliang, so the meaning is different.
An Xincheng didn't think that, with Teacher Yao's state of mind, he would really plan to make a bad drama.
The only explanation is that there are deeper meanings behind these seemingly outrageous demands.
With this thought in mind, he returned again and carefully read the requirements on the acceptance information.
With deep thinking, An Xincheng's eyes gradually brightened.
At the same time, the screenwriters in the group still haven't stopped discussing, and the news is still flashing across the screen.
[Laughing, the script with this kind of request can still sell 5 million, I can do it myself. 】
[Okay, let's stop dreaming. This kind of party A is the most difficult to serve. You are not allowed to write this or that, and he feels dissatisfied after finally finishing the writing. 】
[Yeah, I saw that Party A has already added a requirement about the quality of the script. 】
[Tsk, 5 million manuscript fees, only big bosses dare to challenge this kind of project. If it is really a submission, the probability of being selected is estimated to be about the same as winning the lottery. 】
【Hahahaha, no matter how you say it, Party A must be out of his mind. 】
[The person who can come up with this kind of acceptance requirements is probably very clever. dog head]
An Xincheng looked at the messages sent by these people, frowned slightly and couldn't help but say something.
【An Xincheng: I think you should be Party A. This requirement is not as simple as you think. 】
The group was quiet for a few seconds, and then the screen was frantically swiped.
[Fuck, it's Mr. An! Group photo in the front row. 】
[Brother An is still in our group, hey, he's really too strong. 】
[Boss, so do you have anything to say about the acceptance requirements? Please explain! 】
Since "The Doctor" became popular, An Xincheng hardly spoke in the group.
Seeing everyone being so enthusiastic at this moment, he was really not used to it.
After thinking about it, An Xincheng answered everyone's doubts.
[An Xincheng: Colleagues, this recipient must have some understanding of the film and television industry for being able to list such detailed requirements. That being the case, is there any reason for her to deliberately find a script that is destined to lose money? 】
When An Xincheng said this, many of the group members fell into deep thought.
Yes, this recipient is not completely ignorant of the situation in the film and television industry.
Unless the other party deliberately wants to make a movie that hits the street, logically speaking, their speculation does not make sense.
Seeing that many friends in the group were thinking about it, An Xincheng continued.
[Such a manuscript acceptance information has very detailed requirements and clear goals, and it is obviously well thought out. 】
[Through several regulations, we can know that the other party does not need commercial scripts, nor does it need in-depth scripts that reflect reality. 】
[But at the same time, she also demanded that the script be of better quality! 】
[A movie script is a work that combines commerciality, storytelling, literature, and artistry. 】
[And the recipient has already made the first three choices, so the subject matter left for us is not obvious enough? 】
Everyone is a screenwriter, even if they are only amateurs, after hearing An Xincheng's detailed explanation, they immediately understood.
【I see! This Party A needs a highly artistic song and dance movie script. 】
[Yeah, and it requires high quality, but it cannot be storytelling, literary, or commercial, so we can only work on art. 】
[This speculation is very reasonable. After all, the most important thing about musical movies is artistry. 】
Everyone is in high spirits, and you talk about it with each other.
Seeing this, An Xincheng smiled slightly.
[An Xincheng: Do you know why Party A didn't go to a professional, but posted on the forum instead? 】
This question is indeed the doubt of most people.
Forums and chat groups like theirs have mixed people, and it is not a place where you can recruit excellent talents.
Party A can offer a high price of 5 million, and he is not a poor person. There is no need to come to this kind of forum to try his luck.
[Could it be possible that Mr. An knows the reason? 】
An Xincheng smiled and tapped the keyboard with his fingers.
[Because most of the domestic professional screenwriters do not have a deep understanding of songs and dances, and the interlacing is like a mountain, naturally they cannot control such song and dance works. 】
[If you want to find relevant talents, you can only try your luck in amateur and part-time screenwriters, or even look for talents in musical theater. 】
[Although this is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, it is the only feasible way. 】
After listening to this explanation, how can everyone not understand?
It turns out that behind this seemingly bizarre move, there is such a deep meaning!
At the beginning, they thought that Party A was just trying to please the public, and they had a foolish mind.
Now that I think about it, it is clear that they are the ones who are not able to use their brains.
[I just said that Party A's request looks weird. Sure enough, the opponent's move was planned. 】
[I thought her realm was on the first floor, but after a long time, she was clearly in the atmosphere. 】
[This Party A's request is really high! An ordinary third-rate screenwriter like me is probably completely out of luck. 】
[Singing and dancing movies have to be made by professionals. I know a friend who does musicals, and I recommend this to him to try. 】
[It makes sense, we still have to let the kind of screenwriter who understands songs and dances and has artistic talents to complete this kind of work. 】
Watching the discussion among the group of friends, An Xincheng let out a sigh of relief.
Finally done!
He exited the group chat interface, easily retracted the phone, and slightly raised the corners of his lips, hiding his achievements and fame.
Yao Bianliang's kindness to him can be said to be reborn. An Xincheng knows that it may be difficult for him to repay the other party's kindness in his life.
So now, if he promotes and explains a little bit for the other party, it can be regarded as a reward.
I just hope...she can find an excellent screenwriter, and the new movie can become popular!
