My girlfriend is from the future!

Chapter 401 Evening Comedy

"Om - hum -"

In the meeting room, He Tianran listened to the three screenwriters' discussion on plot modification. The mobile phone on the table vibrated twice. He picked it up and took a look. It was a message from Yao Qingtao downstairs. Ryo's purpose for looking at the material this time.

Seeing the cause and effect described in these words, a look of surprise flashed in He Tianran's eyes. Although there were several questions in his mind at the moment, it was not the time to think about it. He quickly put down his phone again and focused on the present moment script meeting.

The script of a commercial film or film and television drama actually has a set of very standardized process standards. Nowadays, almost all screenwriters have a "studio" system. In fact, the main screenwriter only needs to give the framework and the outline of the story, and the rest is done. It can be handed over to others to do it modularly.

For example, the main screenwriter can write the episode outline and the main story, and the auxiliary screenwriter can write some sidelines or supporting role plots.

Of course, this is just a general direction of work. If you want to refine it further, you can be responsible for different details according to the personal writing characteristics of the screenwriter. If someone is good at writing romance, then she will be responsible for writing the plot of sugar or knife. ; If someone is good at writing suspenseful reversals, then he will be in charge of the design of this piece.

Such a modular working method may limit the play of individual screenwriters. After all, people who write romance may also be able to write suspense, and those who write suspense may be more ruthless when writing knives, but for a team, this The model undoubtedly improves the work efficiency and draft rate a lot, and in actual work, it will not be so rigid, especially in a team like He Tianran.

Their young boss respects literary and artistic creators very much. Although he is now named as a chief screenwriter and is also controlling the structure and direction of the plot throughout the process, he has agreed from the beginning that this film After the film and television drama is launched, his name will not appear in the subtitles of the screenwriter to steal the limelight, making it look like he is so talented, but in fact he didn't do anything.

He appeared at the screenwriter meeting. In addition to chairing the meeting, he was more of a "director" to examine the completion and execution of the script from text to filming.

This is the biggest difference in thinking between screenwriters and directors.

A script is written from the text, to the construction of the scene in the brain, to the original material shot on the spot, and finally to a series of post-production such as dubbing and soundtrack, special effects synthesis, editing and color correction. The screenwriter only needs to be responsible for the dreaming process at the beginning, while the director The job is to complete and complete the process, and to create this dream practically.

At present, the script work of "The Wilderness in the Heart" is nearing completion, and it is in a stage of polishing. It is possible for Penguin to choose a starring role, but it is impossible to move the script. The volume of "future production" is of course very small. Congratulations! Naturally, he is just a new director in the film and television industry, but the Shanhai Group behind it is still here, and ordinary investors really don't have the ability to point fingers in front of He Tianran.

Now, the whole screenwriting team is facing such a problem, that is, He Tianran read the whole script, and he is very satisfied if he is satisfied, but he feels that the script is too emotionally stuck, and there is a feeling that spreads from the beginning to the end. The tragedy that came, although there are two versions of the ending, BE and HE, but at least forty episodes of the script, you can't expect the audience to breathe a sigh of relief at the end...

"We need to add some comedic and relaxing plots, and we need to add some plots that the audience likes and likes to act as an emotional buffer. Otherwise, the audience will be so tense, and sooner or later they will have to abandon the drama, and no one will dare to watch it. It is not necessary to add fifteen episodes, because the plots at that time were very serious, but I think each of the first 25 episodes should add some, whether it is the lines of the characters or the plot design, it does not need to compete with the main line, but There must be such a seasoning."

At the meeting, He Tianran got straight to the point and pointed out a flaw in the script.

This is not bad, at least the drama version of "The Wild in Heart" has written two endings, and the novel version is pure sadomasochism from beginning to end, and judging from Teacher Aliu's previous works, she is not good at writing light-hearted the plot.

This is a bit embarrassing for Xiao Zhu and Xiao Chen, the two screenwriter girls. What kind of love do they write about? The awkwardness, sensitivity, and intrigue between the two parties are often too high, but once the brush strokes sink , To write some excrement and fart among the market, it is outrageous to compete with one another, any jokes on the Internet will be stuffed into the script after being changed.

To put it bluntly, I have been floating all the time, without life, and the jokes I wrote are also rote, and I feel that writing something that is more vulgar is greasy.

But in life, where can we avoid getting some oily smell?

A script is like cooking, even if it’s pearl, emerald and white jade soup, it needs to be topped with oil to look good.

The three girls have been discussing this all afternoon, and the jokes that came out of the discussion didn't make He Tianran laugh...

A Liu was exhausted from the discussion, she lay down on the table and said weakly:

"It seems that none of us are happy comedians, if it really doesn't work..."

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, she thought of something, her upper body stood up, looked at He Tianran, and said tentatively:
"Director He, can I move a rescuer?"

"Who?"

"A colleague I know is very good at this comedy design and plot."

He Tianran heard the words and asked: "Co-workers? Are you also writing web articles?"

Ah Liu quickly nodded his head twice, and added:

"Yes, we did meet in a group of writers, but compared to scripts, he should be more professional than me. He and you are still alumni. He is a top student at the Film Academy and majored in drama. Maybe you still know him! "

"What is your name?"

"Hu Yue!"

Ali blurted out.

He Tianran thought about it for a while, but he didn't have much impression of the name, so he asked:

"Does this man have any works?"

A Liu was startled, and hesitated for two seconds in embarrassment.

"Uh... do online articles count? It's the kind that compares... Long Aotian's..."

He Tianran was a little embarrassed at the moment, but it wasn't that he didn't like Xiaobaiwen. It's not easy to write Xiaobaiwen. It's just a human being, so it's inevitable that there are some stereotypes. Let's not talk about male and female music. It's you who let a web writer who wrote about Long Aotian participate in the creation of this kind of ancient puppet romance script mainly for female audiences. No matter how you listen to it, it feels absurd...

Well, I haven't seen this person yet, so the comedic effect has already started.

However, thinking that the other party was recommended by A Liu, and also an alumnus of his own film school, both aspects are guaranteed, He Tianran did not reject it outright, but said:
"Teacher Aliu, please contact him first. If he is free, you can ask him to come to the company in the next two days. Let's have a chat first. This matter should be done as soon as possible."

"Ok!"

Ah Liu agreed without hesitation, took out his mobile phone and started contacting.

After an afternoon of discussion, the sun was already setting, and it was already past the time to get off work before I knew it.

He Tianran looked out the window at dusk and thought about it. In fact, the biggest gain today was that Mr. A Liu didn't have any bad emotions because of Penguin's investment.

At the beginning, He Tianran was very worried about this. After all, he had promised her that he would take good pictures of her works, but creation is one thing, and implementation is another.

Everyone wants to do a good job, there is no doubt about it, but filming is still a commercial activity in the final analysis.

With an investment of 5000 million and a huge platform channel, the other party will also be of great help in the future distribution work, but the current request is only for the female lead to use them.

From He Tianran's point of view, this is a very profitable deal, and it is also a very reasonable request. Whether a drama is successful or not, casting is important, but it is not the whole factor.

Even if Gu Qiaoman's image does not match the original novel's image, how many of the starring roles in IP-adapted film and television dramas now match the original image?
He Tianran still doesn't have the right to dominate the situation, and he has the right to listen to my arrangements for everything. Even with Shanhai Group as the backing, "Future Production" needs to develop. If I don't meet my expectations, I may leave this industry I love at any time.

Last year it was still 3000 million, and this year it will be directly [-] million.

What if it is smashed?
Therefore, the prince, who seems to others to be happy and happy, actually has his own pressure, and it is not ordinary.

"Let's stop here today. The people below are probably gone. Let's go down too. Let's have dinner together as a small group in the evening? My treat~"

He Tianran suggested with a smile.

There was a burst of cheers in the conference room.

A few girls packed up the computers, pens and paper on the table. He Tianran put his hands in his pockets and walked out of the meeting room first. He wanted to see if there were any overtime workers in the company, and called them together after dinner. He never thought about it. As soon as he looked down, he saw Wen Liang, Yao Qingtao, and the later Xiaotu still at their work stations.

He went downstairs and came quietly behind them.

Yao Qingtao: "Is there no material for this?"

Wen Liang: "No..."

Xiaotu: "If that's the case, then I've finished watching all the materials Mr. Cai took yesterday..."

He Tianran listened to their chat, and through Yao Qingtao's previous message, the man already knew what Wen Liang wanted to find in the material.

Standing behind the three of them, he suddenly said:
"Then take a look at Teacher Chen's photo?"

"Yeah~!"

"what!"

In the later period, Xiaotu and Yao Qingtao were taken aback. Although Wen Liang didn't make a sound, she turned around suddenly. It seemed that He Tianran didn't scare her, but the screams of the two girls around her shocked her.

"He Tianran! Don't be silent like a dead person, okay? Are you walking without making a sound?"

Yao Qingtao was so annoyed that she raised her hand to hit the bitch twice.

"I'm talking. It's because you guys are too focused. You've been watching it all afternoon?"

He Tianran laughed and backed away a few steps. Yao Qingtao didn't hit him these few times, and even stood up and stretched his body, finally hitting his shoulder to feel comfortable.

Wen Liang silently took this situation into his eyes, and wanted to answer He Ranran's question, but felt...inappropriate.

"I haven't been looking for it all this time, Xiaotu has already helped us find it frame by frame, and I just finished watching Teacher Cai's material now."

After beating He Tian, ​​Yao Qingtao sat down again contentedly.

He Tianran was shocked and said, "Is this pulling a movie? It's already off work, you can watch it frame by frame to see when to go."

Hearing this sentence, Wen Liang showed guilt. She looked around, and found that many employees around her had left work, and there were only a few people in the company who were still working overtime.

"I'm sorry, Director He, I delayed you from getting off work, and Xiaotu and sister Taozi, I really troubled you today."

Before He Tianran could speak, the three screenwriters upstairs went downstairs. Seeing that Wen Liang was still there, A Liu excitedly walked over and said hello.

"Hello, Wen Liang, I didn't expect you to still be here. I was still thinking that I was a little regretful that I couldn't get an autograph from you today. I really like your Huang Rong!"

Wen Liang looked at He Ranran, who immediately introduced:

"This is Teacher Aliu, who is also the original author of the novels "A Thousand Knots in the Heart" and "The Wilderness in the Heart", and the chief screenwriter of our film version of "The Wilderness in the Heart"."

"Ah, hello, Mr. Aliu, I've heard your name for a long time! Just call me Aliang."

He Tianran introduced them one by one, and several people greeted each other.

After exchanging pleasantries, these gossip people naturally asked about Wen Liang's purpose for coming to the company this time. He Tianran thought that Wen Liang would be hard to talk about, but he didn't expect that the other party was still very open-minded and told his situation without any concealment. Speak up.

"Have you found it?"

After hearing about Wen Liang's experience, A Liu asked with concern.

The girl shook her head with a little regret:

"No... I read all the footage taken by the photographer I called yesterday, but I didn't get any... I guess I'll let it go this time..."

"Forget it. Didn't I just say that there was a teacher Chen filming yesterday, so you don't want to watch it anymore."

He Tianran who was next to him suddenly made a sound, his warm and cool eyes couldn't help shaking slightly, and he looked at He Tianran.

Her gaze made He Tianran feel a little embarrassed, he explained:

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to drive you away just now, I just think it's inefficient for you to stare at the same screen."

After all, he looked at the three screenwriters who were waiting for a meal, and said:
"Aren't you in a hurry? It's still early for dinner, why don't we help Mr. Wen get rid of this matter?"

Ah Liu and the two screenwriter girls exchanged glances. They were touched by the warm and cold situation just now, and now they heard that they could help, they all nodded:

"Okay, what are we going to do?"

He Tianran began to give orders:
"Go, you each turn on a computer first. Sister Taozi, how about you? You are off work now, you want to come with us, and we can have dinner together later."

Yao Qingtao glanced at him:
"Should I miss your meal? I've been with Ah Liang all afternoon, do you know what girls help girls are? I'm definitely going to stay and help to the end."

"Haha, it has to be my sister Taozi."

Just when Wen Liang was stunned, everyone had already found their seats and sat down. He Tianran shook the mouse to wake up the computer, and asked later:
"Xiaotu, the video material and project files are all put in the array, right? What's the name?"

"It's called '280901 Surf Line Wenliang'. Director He still has two files in it. The 1st one was taken by Mr. Chen, and the 2nd one was taken by Mr. Cai. We just saw Mr. Cai's. Let's just look at Mr. Chen's. .”

There must be a large amount of filming materials stored on the computer for post-production of film and television, and they will not be deleted for future reuse or modification. It is necessary to prepare a shared disk array, and all computers in the later stage have access rights, so that it is convenient for multiple later stages to work together, which is fast and trouble-free.

"Hey, everyone heard it, we are now..."

He Tianran straightened up and took a look, Wen Liang came back to his senses, walked quickly to his side, found an empty computer and sat down.

"There are seven of us now. I watched the first video, Teacher Wen watched the second, Sister Tao Zi the third, and so on. After I watched the video, I watched the eighth directly. Don't watch the material. We are only obsessed with Mr. Wen's flourishing beauty. We mainly look for suspicious characters in the video. If we find anything, tell us in time, and don't worry about watching it slowly. The 7 of us will watch it second by second for an hour. You'll see it before it's too late!"

"No problem~"

"Get it!"

"Let's start, let's catch the culprit of the sneak shot! Punish the evil and promote the good!"

"Ah, my place is actually a close-up of Teacher Wen, ah~ she is smiling at me~ I'm dead~"

"Hey, Mr. Zhu, take care of yourself, the other person's deity is here."

In this way, everyone was mobilized under He Tianran's clear arrangement, and soon put their brains together and devoted themselves to this "job" of finding suspicious paparazzi.

Wen Liang was amazed by He Tianran's cohesiveness and his quickness and way of solving problems in just a few words. This seems to be a trivial matter arranged by the boss, but it's off-duty time now, everyone To be able to cooperate with him in such a way without complaining, I have to say that this is not only a leader's authority, but also a manifestation of personal charm.

Not to mention the most important point...

He is doing himself a favor.

"...Thank you, He Tianran, thank you for mobilizing everyone to help me."

Wen Liang said something softly.

He Tianran didn't look at the beautiful woman beside him, but stared at the computer, nonchalantly said:
"Hey, it's a small thing. If you tell me about this kind of thing early in the morning, I won't see it."

"Didn't you just say that this...doesn't belong to our scope of work."

He Tianran squinted at Wen Liang, then picked up the sleeve of his left hand, tapped the watch on his wrist with the finger of the other hand, and said with a light smile:
"Hey, it's off-duty time now. Our company's principle is that after get off work, we don't talk about work, but about our mood."

After that, he looked at the screen again, staring at his profile warmly, for a second or two, then turned his head and started playing his own video.

"If you encounter this kind of thing, you should tell the people around you more. There are still many good people in this society. If you can help a little, you, a girl, will feel more relaxed."

He Tianran's suggestion sounded from Wen Liang's side.

"I know~ But you also understand that I am a girl, not as capable as a big man like you..."

A soft word like the sound of a mosquito penetrated into He Ranran's eardrums. He was stiff from the beginning to the end, his back was numb, and he almost shivered. call--

Alas, who can bear this...
