Chapter 218 ‘All-rounder’

'A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.'

This famous quote from Napoleon is simply the best quote in the world.

Of course, only in PUA.

For example, the creators in the industry use this sentence to laugh at themselves, "A director who doesn't want to be a screenwriter is not a good actor." To put it simply, if you want to be as good as a good actor, you have to become a complete actor.

talent.

Take actors as an example. In today's entertainment industry, whether it's a drama or an idol drama, a truly "good" actor can be one who can write his own drama, direct his own drama, and finally act himself.

Just like Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen in "Hurry", what kind of work did the writer and director not do?

The three people present obviously did not have Li Suan's insight into world affairs, but when the boss asked questions, they still gave their own opinions.

Jia Xiuquan said that this sentence proves the "leading system" of the director and director in the crew; Chen Xiaoyu said that this sentence illustrates the "ranking of rights" in the production process of film and television works; Xia Shasha was more straightforward, saying that she is the screenwriter

, he is also a director, so he is a good actor?

When Xia Shasha said this answer, she herself was a little unsure. Chen Xiaoyu and Jia Xiuquan, who were sitting opposite her, seemed to want to laugh at it, but Li Suan confirmed it.

"That's closest to what you said."

Jia Xiuquan and Chen Xiaoyu were stunned, and then looked at Xia Shasha. They saw that this little girl who graduated from Zhongchuan was different. She had exquisite makeup and fashionable clothes. She looked at the boss with the purity of a little girl.

, and also contains a hint of worship.

The two of them looked at Li Suan again and looked at each other in a tacit understanding. They both saw the worldliness in each other's eyes.

Li Suan turned around and wrote the word "life" on the whiteboard.

He turned around, ignored the thoughtful looks from Jia Xiuquan and Chen Xiaoyu, and continued to ask questions.

"Which one of you is the rich second generation?"

No one spoke.

"Have any of you ever played the 'kissing game' between students in the script?"

Everyone remained silent, but Xia Shasha raised her hand.

She said: "Usually, 'icebreaker games' are not that exaggerated. When I saw this, it was very strange."

Li Suan looked at her and said something.

"You don't have the life of the rich second generation, but you can evaluate a drama about the rich second generation and successful people. Who gives you the right?"

Everyone could tell that Li Suan was angry. Everyone held their breath and prepared to be scolded, but they heard Li Suan say to Xia Shasha: "Wait here."

He then said to Jia Xiuquan and Chen Xiaoyu: "You two, come out with me."

Li Suan took Jia Xiuquan and Chen Xiaoyu out, but Xia Shasha was still stunned, not knowing the consequences of her honesty.

Li Suan and Jia Xiuquan exchanged WeChat messages with Chen Xiaoyu, and then each of them approved 10,000 yuan and told them that with these 10,000 yuan, they could use their creativity as screenwriters to experience a life with an annual salary of one million yuan. Then he took them to

In front of Zeng Jia, he asked the two of them to go directly to the Magic City and join the crew of "Micro Era".

When a screenwriter joins the team, it only means one thing: changing the script. So Zeng Jia said as a matter of course: "When will you meet the director?"

But Li Suan shook his head and said he didn't see them. Then he pointed at Chen Xiaoyu and Jia Xiuquan: "Assign each of them to an actor. Do nothing else. Just explain the current script to the actors clearly."

Chen Xiaoyu and Jia Xiu were both stunned, and Li Suan turned around to face them.

"The job you have to do is equivalent to that of an assistant director, which is to help the actors prepare for performances. Don't worry, you are still the screenwriter. If you do a good job, I will give you my signature."

After the explanation, Chen Xiaoyu and Jia Xiuquan looked at each other. Although they didn't know the meaning of this order, they still agreed after taking the money, then said goodbye to Zeng Jia, and went out directly.

The screenwriter follows the actor into the group... Zeng Jia has seen this routine in "The Secret of Beauty", but it was the personal screenwriter of actress Lin Xinru, and it was specially used to modify her own drama.

She asked Li Suan curiously: "What do you want to do again?"

As long as you know the good intentions, you must not tell Zeng Jia. Li Shuan wants to cultivate a team of screenwriters who can fight hard, and he will definitely spend more money.

Now that the 100 million KPI has not been completed in the first year, it is better to keep a low profile on some things. So Li Shuan picked a particularly big concept.

"Strengthen the construction of spiritual civilization among our country's literary and art practitioners, and enhance the spiritual civilization education of our country's literary and art practitioners."

Zeng Jia had a question mark on his face.

Li Shuan was persuasive: "Who is this idol drama for?"

"Young man."

"It's enough to show young people something that doesn't talk about the four modernizations. You can't show the kissing game to young audiences as a 'film and television spectacle,' right?"

There is a scene in "Micro Times" where several students who have just met go out for a party, use the excuse of breaking the ice to play a game of random selection and then kiss in public.

Besides porn movies, who can make idol dramas like this?

Unexpectedly, Zeng Jia looked like an old god: "You don't know, now we have to give the audience something new. Besides, our show doesn't have any elderly audience at all, they are all young people, so it's okay to open up."

It seems that Zeng Jia is quite satisfied with the setting of this script.

Li Shuan sneered twice and was noncommittal. Maybe this kind of play is more in line with the three views of capitalists.

He could only say: "I have set two rules. First, everyone in the company's screenwriting department must join the team in the future. If you don't even know how the crew shoots or how the actors perform, how can you possibly write a play?"

Secondly, in the future, all the scripts that the company’s artists will participate in will have to be given to me for review.”

Zeng Jia asked as if he was talking too much: "Everyone?"

"Everyone!"

Li Suan turned around and went out. Zeng Jia looked at his back, suspicious of this 'everyone'.

There are only two teaching schools in the screenwriting industry. The first is the academic school, which is a major like Chen Xiaoyu. After enrolling in school, you will not do anything else, but first become familiar with some proper nouns, such as inspiring incidents, dark nights of the soul, three-act structure, etc...

...If you don’t talk about your life, and after graduation, you will only 'browse' your life in front of the computer, saying one thing after another, but in terms of actual practice, you will be like a chicken or a dog.

The second one is from a wild background like Jia Xiuquan, who may have a slightly better life experience, but in the final analysis, he is still from a bad background. It is not that Li Shuan pays attention to academic qualifications, but that he lacks the academic aloofness of a scholar, and has not experienced many things.

Not to mention the systematic training, and most of the plots written have a sense of frustration and hostility.

Nowadays, Li Suan's arrangement also comes from later generations. His scientific name is Practitioner School, and his nicknames are all kinds of. When entering the industry, aside from talking about other things, he first went to the crew to experience. In an unfamiliar environment and faced with an unfamiliar job, only then can he watch

Whoever comes out is a mess, who is the real gold.

In fact, the most important thing is that Jia Xiuquan and Chen Xiaoyu are older, have certain work experience, and have relatively stable three views... This is not as good as Xia Shasha, who has just graduated, is young and beautiful, is good at PUA, and has a slut.

I am very motivated and want to prove myself in this wonderful world.

After leaving Zeng Jia's office, Li Suan saw Reba in the conference room at a glance. She was holding a printed biography and standing straight at the door. Under her leadership, even Xia Shasha did not dare to sit down.

, and stood in the corner of the conference room, not knowing what to do next.

Li Suan entered the conference room, faced Xia Shasha, and greeted her amiably to sit down, and then said to her seriously: "Do a good job, I'm optimistic about you."

"Thank you, Teacher Li."

Li Shuan just sat there chatting with Xia Shasha. He first asked what your parents did, and then asked about Xia Shasha's study experience and the three things that had the greatest impact on her in life. The two of them talked about things that had nothing to do with work, and they were

Li Shuan grasps the rhythm and makes a few comments from time to time, which may be thought-provoking or make Xia Shasha smile shyly.

Reba was not left alone, he was just a low-wattage light bulb. Soon, when he heard Li Suan greeting him, Reba stepped over and handed over the biography he had worked hard on all night with both hands, which was more than 6,000 words.

, and I stayed up late to write it.

Li Suan glanced at the page number, then at the size 4 Song font Reba chose, and then looked at Reba's slightly tired face. As for the content of those words, he didn't even look at them.

"Didn't you sleep last night?"

"Well, I stayed up late to sort it out."

"Then take it back."

After hearing this, Reba raised his head, the surprise and grievance in his eyes uncontrollable.

She opened her mouth but stopped talking.

Li Suan looked at her face: "You want to ask me why I don't look at it?"

Reba calmed down and nodded.

Li Suan leaned on his seat: "I just finished a meeting with you last night, and it's not yet afternoon yet. You haven't even slept. The things you have sorted out will only be old ones. I can guess what you are doing."

Believe it or not?"

Reba's eyes widened, as if to say, 'How is that possible?'

Li Suan didn't talk about the details, only the context of the writing. He pointed to Reba's manuscript.

"I probably read all the scripts last night, thirty episodes. Do you think that your character Amber Wu's identity as an illegitimate daughter is exposed and she fights with others is the darkest moment, and being recognized by her father is the highlight. You may indeed think privately

You designed some very interesting scenes, but you still have no intention."

What Reba couldn't believe was that Li Shuangquan was right, and the highlights and darks were exactly the same, which were the parts he asked for yesterday.

Li Suan read the script yesterday. She saw this with her own eyes. The thirty-episode script contains hundreds of thousands of words.

Li Suan continued: "You have never thought about it. An illegitimate daughter has an arrogant character due to family background. How can such a person be recognized by her father and be the highlight of her life? Does she want to

Ask your father, why do I exist? Why was I born? Why don’t you, like other men, get rid of your first wife and stay with my biological mother?

Don't worry, you are an illegitimate daughter, and with your status, there is no problem in asking these questions.

You didn't write about who Amber Wu's biological mother was? What impact did such a mother have on her? When someone exposed her identity as an illegitimate daughter, and as an illegitimate daughter is not accepted by the mainstream circles, what should be Amber's reaction?

She must have been rejected for as long as she can remember, right? Why did she choose to fight with others on that occasion?

You can obviously use all the advantages and disadvantages of a person to create a screen image full of contradictions and a respectable, cute and pitiful character's growth history. Why can't you use your brain to think about it?

You can add appropriate details to the existing settings of the script, use performances to enrich your characters, and bring multiple emotional experiences to the audience, creating an emotional spectacle... That's what I ask too much of you.

Is it too much?"

"No." Reba replied instinctively. She came from a major, and at least she knew what was right.

"Then do you still want me to read this biography?" Li Shuan asked.

"No need, Teacher Li Suan, I know what to do. Please give me some more time and I'll think about it carefully when I go back."

"Go ahead."

Reba took her biography and walked away. Xia Shasha watched her disappear and said something for Reba.

"Teacher Li Suan, Reba, she hasn't graduated yet."

Li Suan suddenly realized: "I forgot, I haven't arranged your work yet."

Xia Shasha was shaken: "My job is..."

"Follow her and complete this biography with her for two days... no, four days, at most four days. You have to give me something I can read. Are there any problems?"

It's over, I just found a big job for myself.

Xia Shasha was a little confused, but she still said: "Okay, Teacher Li, I'll see him when I go to work tomorrow."

Li Suan smiled, but his smile was superficial. He didn't say anything, but he showed the unscrupulousness and cold-bloodedness of a capitalist.

Xia Shasha said very understandingly: "I will go find her today."

Li Suan suggested kindly: "You'd better live together at night. I'm very demanding. If you give me something casually, you will not only be scolded, but also prepare to leave."

Seeing that Li Suan's expression was not fake, Xia Shasha stood up and cautiously apologized to Li Suan.

In the corner outside the conference room, Zeng Jia looked at this scene in confusion. She knew Li Suan too well and knew that this boy must be hiding something from her.

But what does it matter?

Tomorrow, Li Suan will sign a long-term contract with Sina.

The next morning, Li Suan and representatives from Sina's editorial department signed a groundbreaking contract under the watchful eyes of a few people.

The contract stipulates that Li Suan's novel creation will be divided into chapters and simultaneously updated on Sina Weibo. The contract also involves terms such as publicity and momentum building. For example, Li Suan will accept an exclusive interview on Sina Weibo next week.

He will once again appear on Weibo's reading channel as a Sina author. In addition, Sina is also responsible for some of Li Suan's economic affairs, mainly related to the promotion of new books and the promotion of the channel.

Sina has always hoped to enter the magical field of "novel", and its investment has been huge, which is very rare among Internet companies in recent years. Moreover, if it joins at this time, Sina only has the right of first refusal to purchase the copyright of Li Shuan's novel, and it has not yet

As for later, 'If you write it here, the copyright belongs to me.'

Sanlitun at the same time.

Both Reba and Xia Shasha have standard "fashionable" looks. If you don't look at the slightly cheap makeup, just looking at their clothes, they still have a bit... not so serious taste.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not revealing. College students and college graduates these days always wear something a bit fashionable. (Note 1)

Reba looked at the high-end place in front of him, took a deep breath, and was about to rush in.

Xia Shasha stopped the other party in time: "Wait, is it okay?"

"It must be no problem, believe me!"

After Reba finished speaking, he dragged Xia Shasha into a members-only tea restaurant.

Owe14.

Um, Reba's makeup and clothes at this time, I, use the word "fengchen" to describe it, it's quite appropriate. There was a Tencent video interview, Reba, and several other actresses from "Micro Times" stood together, with that big head shining down

, if several people want to bow, it will feel like "the boss is good". Before the Korean whitening filter appeared, people in the industry usually imitated the dress of celebrities.
