The superstar is here

Chapter 348 Showdown
Li Longji knows that every author treats his novel as a child, and wishes to take care of it all by himself and make the novel into a TV series or movie.

But obviously, writing novels and making TV series and movies are two or even many different fields, and no one can cover them all.

Directors can't do all the work of the crew, and they need the cooperation of different crew roles to complete a TV series or movie.

Thinking about it, Li Longji felt that something was wrong. It was very sudden that he and Chen Siyu came here today. Chen Ziang and Zhang Baoying didn't know it at all.

Since Chen Ziang and Zhang Baoying didn't know they were coming, how could they wait for them to join the network, Li Longji was a little puzzled.

Is Chen Ziang's acting talent really good?
As a director, Li Longji definitely wants to choose his own roles, especially for important roles, he hopes he can make the decisions.

But the reality is that in many cases, the important casting is done by the company, and the director can't help it.

For example, if there is a capital investment, whoever the other party asks to participate, but the partner does not agree, then it will be separated.

As for the director and other parties, if they want to continue filming, they have to agree to the capital party.

"Junior brother's acting talent is really extraordinary. I was an examiner during his art exam and witnessed his performance." Li Qiuting also spoke for Chen Ziang. Although she didn't know about Chen Ziang's contract with Tianshui Film and Television, she saw the teacher praised Chen Ziang so much , she can only pursue.

The teacher is showing his favor to Li Longji. I hope that if Li Longji has a role, he can give Chen Ziang a chance.

"Does Ziang have any film and television works?" Li Longji asked curiously.

As far as he knows, Chen Ziang has no experience in film and television productions.

The starting point is the protagonist, the leading man, this starting point is really too high.

Not only Li Longji was horrified, but Zhang Baoying also felt terrified.

So it's no wonder that Li Longji was unwilling to let Chen Ziang play Linghu Chong, the protagonist of "Swordsman", this role is the soul.

Before knowing the opponent's strength, it is always judged by seniority, which is the safest way.

It's okay if the supporting roles are not good, and it's acceptable if the second and third characters are not good enough. If the protagonist has problems, it's simply ruining the whole TV series or movie.

"It seems not yet?" Zhang Baoying said, looking at Li Qiuting, she didn't know anyway.

"It seems so." Li Qiuting said.

Li Longji was a little relieved now, Chen Ziang couldn't make it.

However, he was also afraid that Chen Ziang would grab the contract and force himself to sign up, which would cause a headache.

With the contract in place, Chen Ziang couldn't get in by himself, so if he appointed a Dou who Tianshui Film and Television could not afford to hire or support, it would be the end of the calf, and both sides would suffer.

Li Longji came here today not only to talk about the script, but also about the hero and heroine.

He learned from Chen Siyu and the company that this Chen Ziang was actually very difficult to provoke, and he was really capable of doing things that would hurt both sides.

Tianshui Film and Television doesn't want to make "Swordsman" dirty, so it can only talk and persuade.

……

The banquet is over.

Chen Ziang sent Zhang Baoying away. Originally Li Qiuting was leaving too, but Zhang Baoying let her stay.

Zhang Baoying has already learned that Chen Ziang has a special contract with Tianshui Film and Television.

Li Qiuting and Chen Ziang went back to the company, Li Longji and Chen Siyu also followed.

The company's tea art room.

Li Longji is going to have a showdown with Chen Ziang, which is exactly what Chen Ziang wants to do.

Li Longji didn't really believe that Chen Ziang could write a script, at least he had to get the script before he believed it, and then he would see if Chen Ziang's so-called script was the script he wanted.

Writers and screenwriters are two different things.A screenwriter must be able to write a series of literary works such as novels, essays, and poems, and a writer can also write scripts.After all, it's all work with a pen. It's not difficult to write, but it's not necessarily difficult to write well.

However, there is still a big difference between the two.

First, the thinking is different. Writers are mainly literary thinking, while screenwriters are often pictorial thinking.The literariness of drama screenwriters is stronger, but they are still not traditional writers. They also have to consider the issue of stage presentation, but their literariness is mostly reflected in the lines.The thinking of film and television screenwriters is more pictorial.

Second, the way of writing is different.The language of novels is explanatory in many cases, or has a lot of emotional descriptions.However, the writing method of the screenwriter is mainly descriptive, without any embellishment. The script of a good screenwriter is very dry, and all emotional changes need to be externalized for presentation.Do not write useless explanatory language, and do not describe emotions that are unclear.For example: "The heart is throbbing, and the color is eclipsed." The script will be written as "lowering your head, not speaking, your body is trembling, and your hands are tightly pinching the corner of your clothes" and so on.Because the first way of writing will be asked by the director and actors: how to act?
Third, the creative modes are different.Writers are often created independently, while TV dramas and movies are often created by teams.After the script was completed, it was modified by the director and the actors for the second time, and there were other problems during the actual shooting.Although most of the screenwriters of stage plays are completed independently, they are also restricted by the theater, like many stage plays are completed in the theater.

Fourth, the purpose of creation and the audience are different.The purpose of literary creation is literal expression, and the audience is a generalized group in a broad sense.The script serves the shooting and theater, and the actual user of the content is narrowly defined, which is the shooting crew or theater troupe.

Li Longji has made TV dramas and movies for more than 20 years, mainly TV dramas, and has met too many screenwriters.

What a good director likes most is a good script.

And a good script comes from the screenwriter.

So it is not surprising that the director likes the screenwriter.

Of course, directors who are conceited and think they can tell stories are not so welcome to screenwriters.

No matter how low the screenwriter's status is, it does not prevent all directors from relying on and favoring good scripts.

"Zi Ang, when will the script come out?" Li Longji asked, "Swordsman" has just been approved, and the shooting will start next year at the earliest. Now the first task of the project is the script.

Only after getting the script and finalizing the script, did the crew preparation begin and actors be invited.

"It will come out soon." Chen Ziang knew what Li Longji and Chen Siyu were thinking, and the old god was there.

"How long is it now?" Chen Siyu smiled.

Li Qiuting looked at Chen Ziang, she was very clear about the division of labor in the crew, after all, she had been in the crew for more than ten years.

Can Chen Ziang write scripts?
At this time, the door of the tea room was pushed open.

Li Hui had sweat stains on her forehead as she came in with a stack of documents.

"Isn't this out?" Chen Ziang smiled, and took the document from Li Hui's hand.

Li Hui helped him go back to the house he rented to get the script.

Li Longji, Chen Siyu and Li Qiuting were all taken aback.

Chen Siyu wiped off his sweat, the script is coming out before the novel is finished.

But when you think about it, the physical or electronic version of the novel is not finished because Chen Ziang is in control, and it is probably finished long ago.
