I am a super cop

Chapter 897 Doctor Script
As a new screenwriter, He Xiaofan still has a lot to complain about.

This means that in front of laymen, you can complain as much as you want, and scold whoever you want.

If you want to be the father of the producer, you have to endure. Learning how to be a "ninja" quietly is the most basic self-cultivation for screenwriters.

Just when He Xiaofan was having a heated chat with Gu Chen's family, a phone call came in suddenly.

He Xiaofan swiped the answer button: "Hey, Fatty, I have something to say."

A few seconds later, He Xiaofan's expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "That's fine, I...I'll come right over."

After hanging up the phone, He Xiaofan scratched the back of his head, looking at the newly replaced spare tire, it was much smaller than the previous car tire, it was not pleasing to the eye no matter what.

He Xiaofan was troubled for a while...

"What's the matter, Xiao He?" Seeing this, Gu Baichuan also asked him curiously.

"Uncle Gu, can I borrow your car?" He Xiaofan said.

Gu Baichuan was stunned, and quickly glanced at the car at the door of He Xiaofan, also inexplicably said: "Didn't your car have a spare tire? It can be driven."

"That's not what I mean." He Xiaofan waved his hand, sighed, and finally told everyone the truth: "My car is too low-level. My scriptwriting team called me this morning, saying that a producer invited us to discuss the project. .”

"It's fine if you say my car is average, and the tires don't match. It's a bit embarrassing to drive out to discuss a project, so..."

"I understand. In business, face is very important, especially when it comes to big business." Gu Baichuan, a veteran in the business field, instantly understood He Xiaofan's difficulties.

He immediately turned his head to look at Gu Chen, and said, "Son, you have a rest today anyway, so let's drive you to Brother He to discuss the project, so that we can learn more."

"Okay, no problem." Gu Chen readily agreed, since staying at home is boring anyway, why don't you just go and have a look.

Seeing the generosity of the Gu family, He Xiaofan was also very grateful and said, "That's so embarrassing, Uncle Gu, to ask Gu Chen to be my driver."

"It's nothing." Gu Baichuan waved his hand, and said in admonishment: "As long as you produce more good works, so that we can all see them on the screen, then we will be satisfied."

"After all, the people's yearning for a better life must first start with spiritual enjoyment? Where does spiritual enjoyment come from? TV dramas, movies, etc. In short, don't say anything, come on."

"Well! Come on!"

Encouraged by Gu Baichuan's fighting style, He Xiaofan instantly became full of fighting spirit.

You know, He Xiaofan hasn't started work for several months.

It's a good thing that the team members have made an appointment with a big producer, so why not seize the opportunity?
At this time, the producer is my father, and when talking about the project, I have to treat him well no matter what.

And the other party is coming from the magic capital, as the host, can't you drive him to a hotel for dinner or something?

It’s fine if you want to drive a cheap car, but the key point is that there is a spare tire, which does not match the other three tires, which seriously affects the appearance.

Of course He Xiaofan also thought about renting a car, but seeing that the time was too late, but it happened that Gu Baichuan's family had two good cars, so he asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Gu Baichuan agreed so readily, and even provided He Xiaofan with a driver.

Thinking about all the unlucky things that happened early this morning, now there is finally a turning point.

"Let's go."

Gu Chen took out the keys in his pocket, and was about to go out when Gu Baichuan stopped him directly.

"Son, come back."

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen turned around with a puzzled look on his face.

"Let's talk about big projects, how can I drive that old car of yours?" Gu Baichuan walked up to Gu Chen, and directly threw his car keys into Gu Chen's hand: "Drive my new car over there."

Gu Chen held the new car keys that Gu Baichuan gave him, also smiled, turned to He Xiaofan and said, "Let's go, Brother He, I'll take you there."

"Alas!" He Xiaofan was overjoyed, Gu Baichuan gave Gu Chen the keys to the Mercedes-Benz car, thinking about it, he would save face.

The two came to a parking space at the door, and Gu Chen directly pressed the unlock button.

A white Mercedes-Benz G that was parked in front of the two of them suddenly had its lights flickering.

"Wow, is it Big G? Your Gu family is really rich." He Xiaofan's eyes lit up immediately, and he thought that Gu Baichuan had really made a lot of money these years.

Gu Chen didn't care about these, directly opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

He Xiaofan quickly got into the car and sat in Gu Chen's passenger seat.

In order to listen to the sound of the mechanical door closing circulating on the Internet, He Xiaofan even closed the door twice to confirm whether the mechanical crisp sound was real.

"That's right, everyone says whether a car is good or not, whether it's high-end or not, you can feel it just by listening to the door closing. I feel it today. I must work hard to make money in the future and buy a big white G. This is a man's dream. what."

Gu Chen glanced at him: "Brother He's dream is to drive big G?"

"Isn't it... isn't it?" He Xiaofan turned his head and glanced at Gu Chen, and suddenly said with a smile: "Of course, you already have it, of course you don't care, but no one would care."

Looking at the heavy traffic on both sides of the road, He Xiaofan also said with emotion: "Sometimes I really envy you, Gu Chen, now you don't have to worry about making money, you can concentrate on doing what you like to do."

"Isn't that Brother He?" While driving, Gu Chen glanced at He Xiaofan beside him.

He Xiaofan shook his head: "I'm different from you. I became a screenwriter entirely because I was poor, so I broke my head and learned art from a teacher. I managed to get into this job with great difficulty."

"You have to know that I only have a high school degree, and the threshold to enter this industry is too high. I have to work [-]% or even [-]% more than others to reach the normal level of others."

"So, in the screenwriting world, people are nicknamed... He Sanlang."

"What kind of pervert?" Gu Chen was stunned, feeling a little baffled.

He Xiaofan hastily corrected: "It's not He Pervert, it's He Sanlang, it's the meaning of Desperate Saburo."

"Oh, I understand." Gu Chen continued to drive and turned to the right passage.

At this time, He Xiaofan quickly reminded Gu Chen: "We are going to the Peninsula Coffee House, which is the Peninsula Garden."

"I know that place." Gu Chen nodded slightly and began to speed up.

After 30 minutes of stop and go, Gu Chen finally drove the car into the temporary parking lot of Peninsula Cafe.

"Pour! Pour! Pour!"

An uncle security guard came to command, and not long after, he charged Gu Chen 15 yuan for parking, and then went to command another car.

"Welcome, do you have an appointment?"

Walking into the Peninsula Coffee House, the first thing that catches your eyes is a waitress in a kawaii uniform who came over and greeted the two of them with a crisp and soft voice.

"If you have an appointment, just..."

"Here, here."

Before He Xiaofan could chat with the cute girl, a fat man sitting not far away stood up and waved to He Xiaofan.

He Xiaofan smiled: "I have an appointment, over there."

"Okay, two little brothers, please come with me." The ignorant girl still replied in a crisp and soft voice, waving penguin hands, and led the two to the fat man.

It was only then that Gu Chen discovered that besides the fat man, there was also a serious-looking woman with glasses, and a tall, thin, middle-aged man dressed in western style.

Gu Chen probably also guessed that these people and He Xiaofan should be a screenwriting team.

"Excuse me, what do you want to drink?" The cute waiter asked after seeing Gu Chen and He Xiaofan sitting down.

"Just...be like them." He Xiaofan said.

"Okay, please wait later." The cute girl got a reply and left again waving her penguin hand.

He Xiaofan sat next to Fatty and touched Fatty's shoulder: "Hey, Fatty, it's ok, why do I have to choose to come here, the waitress here is not bad?"

"Hey, you just know?" Fatty seems to be a frequent visitor here, laughing so much that his fat body is trembling.

He glanced at Gu Chen, and then asked He Xiaofan curiously: "Xiaofan, is he your friend?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce you." He Xiaofan was so happy that he forgot to introduce Gu Chen to everyone, so he quickly patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and introduced:
"His name is Gu Chen. He's from my community. They own a non-staple food supermarket. Today, my car had a flat tire, so I had to borrow his big G to save the situation."

"Oh! Gu Chen." I feel like I've heard of this name somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while, and the fat man stretches out his right hand to say hello: "Hello Gu Chen, my name is Wang Hai, everyone calls me Fatty Wang."

"Hello." Gu Chen shook hands with him, but he was thinking silently in his heart, as if in every TV series, there would be a supporting role of a fat man.

And in every team, there will be at least one fat person. Thinking about it, this is almost becoming an eternal law.

"My name is Zhang Kai." The middle-aged but still stylish tall and thin man extended his rib-like right hand to shake Gu Chen's hand.

"Hello." I just shook hands with the chubby Fatty Wang, and now I shook hands with Zhang Kai, who was as thin as ribs, and suddenly felt that their arms were like pig's trotters and chicken feet.

"Hey, Jiumei, say hello." Seeing that everyone introduced themselves to Gu Chen, and the serious-looking girl with glasses next to her was still looking at the materials in her hand, Zhang Kai couldn't help but touched her shoulder.

"Ah?" The woman named Jiumei looked up, and then through Zhang Kai's eyes, she saw Gu Chen in front of her.

Suddenly, he was taken aback by Gu Chen's exquisite appearance, and quickly apologized, "You... hello, what's your name? I was too busy looking at the materials just now, so I didn't hear clearly."

"My name is Gu Chen." Gu Chen shook hands with her.

Jiumei grinned, and at the same time touched Gu Chen's hand, she shyly withdrew it.

Looking up and down at Gu Chen, Jiu Mei also asked Gu Chen curiously: "Are you...a graphic model?"

Gu Chen smiled and shook his head: "I'm not a graphic model, I'm a policeman from the Criminal Investigation Division [-] of the Furong Sub-bureau."

"Police? So you are a policeman?" After learning about Gu Chen's occupation, Jiumei also showed a gratified smile: "When did we have such a handsome policeman in Jiangnan City? Why didn't I know before? I feel like I am a policeman. Isn't it ignorant?"

"Look at what you said." Gu Chen just smiled slightly, and then asked Jiumei: "But...is Jiumei your pen name?"

"That's right, my pen name is Jiumei. Everyone in the screenwriting industry also calls me Jiumei. You can also call me Jiumei."

"Huh?" Upon hearing Jiumei boasting, He Xiaofan complained, "You are much older than our Gu Chen, if you ask Gu Chen to call you Jiumei, wouldn't that be taking advantage of him?"

"What is cheap or not? Isn't it just a pen name? If Brother Gu Chen is not used to being called, you can also call me Nine Girls. This is the head office, right?"

As soon as Jiumei changed her serious face and chatted with Gu Chen, she became more easy-going.

At this time, the waitress, the cute girl, took two cups of coffee and put them lightly in front of the two of them: "Brothers, here is the coffee you want."

"Thank you." Gu Chen took the coffee and nodded his thanks.

Seeing that Gu Chen was so polite, the cute girl waiter put the tray behind her, hesitated for a few seconds, then leaned into Gu Chen's ear and asked, "Little brother, I think you are very handsome, can I take a photo with you?" ?”

"This..." Gu Chen turned his head and saw that the cute girl waiter had already put on a cute look.

With his mouth curled up, his appearance is very pleasant, making it hard to refuse.

Gu Chen could only smile and nod: "Yes."

"Thank you." Hearing this, the cute girl quickly took out her cat ear phone, leaned against Gu Chen, pouted, and made a cute scissors-hands expression.

"Crack!"

After the photo was taken, the cute girl smiled politely, and then hurried to several female colleagues, dancing and dancing excitedly, as if she had won the lottery.

Seeing all this, He Xiaofan couldn't stop laughing and said, "It seems that Gu Chen is very popular with girls."

Some jealous Jiumei was upset, and interrupted the topic quickly: "Stop talking nonsense, since He Xiaofan has come, our screenwriter team has already arrived, now let's talk about the production team that will be received later. "

Jiumei is like the housekeeper of this team, managing all coordination affairs.

She adjusted her glasses, opened the information book, and then introduced to everyone: "The producer who will come later is a relatively powerful production team in Shanghai."

"The literary planner and literary director will come later. They mainly want to discuss topic selection and copyright issues with us."

"They recently purchased some literary copyrights, and they want to find a team of screenwriters to cooperate with them to adapt."

"Because it is a fantasy work, my friends in Shanghai recommended us to them."

"And they came here this time mainly to communicate with us about our opinions in the script writing process. After all, they are all in charge of the field of literary planning."

"Literary planning? That's usually a company job." He Xiaofan picked up his coffee and took a sip.

Jiumei nodded slightly, and continued: "The literary planners of the producer enjoy a high reputation in the industry, and this person named Liao Fan has done planners and editors before. These two types of positions are helpful for screenwriters."

"In addition to understanding the script, he must also be able to connect with the entire market environment. He must provide advice to the screenwriter on the parts that the screenwriter does not understand, and it is also an important communication channel between the chief screenwriter and the producer."

Throwing the information to He Xiaofan who was late, Jiumei lay on the sofa, picked up the coffee and continued to introduce:
"The responsible editor is more the signature position of some staff members of the platform, and the company will also have the responsible editor, which overlaps with the work of literary planning."

"Generally speaking, the responsible editors do basic review and communication work, and the responsible editors signed by the platform are more in the field of administrative docking and technical review."

"And this Liao Fan is not only good at these things, but as a literary planner, he also serves as a script director."

"He still works as a script director?" He Xiaofan frowned slightly when he heard this.

Gu Chen asked him curiously: "Is the script director very good?"

"Well, how should I put it?" He Xiaofan pursed his lips, and said involuntarily, "Generally speaking, script director is a key position that has only emerged in recent years."

"This function is usually to guide the screenwriter on how to create. Generally speaking, it means that the screenwriter has insufficient experience, and a powerful senior screenwriter is invited to guide the script."

"In fact, he is more of a gatekeeper in the direction, which is equivalent to... Wherever I tell you to go, you go where you want, with great power, similar to script doctors and the like."

"Oh, so that's the case? Then I know." Gu Chen nodded slightly, but still asked with doubts: "But I don't think you are happy, don't you want to meet the script doctor?"

"No." He Xiaofan put down his coffee, turned around and said to Gu Chen, "Actually, with this kind of position, it is easy to have conflicts with us when the work is signed, which is what we often call copyright infringement."

"Signature infringement?" Gu Chen seemed to have heard He Xiaofan mention it when he was in the non-staple food supermarket.

He Xiaofan nodded silently, and said without any concealment: "There are many rights protection actions on the Internet about script creation, such as the fight for authorship rights, authorship positions, authorship titles, etc., etc. It is actually very complicated."

"Take a complex project as an example, a bumpy project with multiple rounds of reconstruction, there will often be a dispute over the authorship."

"Who has a higher contribution rate? Who should have a heavier authorship? There are often unclear 'infringement' disputes between the chief screenwriter and the screenwriter, and between the responsible screenwriter and the screenwriter."

"As for creative-oriented projects, everyone needs to discuss a ranking based on the results, and try to reflect everyone's work."

"For this reason, we generally adhere to two principles, one is to measure the final contribution, and the other is to respect the order."

"But if it is said that several drafts of scripts are working towards a better direction, it must be discussed in terms of core contributions."

"Those who have made significant contributions to the overall structure, character setting, and key plots will be signed first."

"But on this basis, there must be a first-come, first-served approach. During the project development process, the person who arrives first may not be in the right direction, but it is still a necessary trial and error process."

"As long as I have participated in it, or as long as I have written a draft, I don't like the situation that no matter how much the draft is used, it will be signed."

Seeing that Gu Chen seemed to understand a little bit, He Xiaofan said again: "Because this will cause two consequences. The first is that it will be unfair to the person who contributed the most. In this case, he may not be ranked first."

"Secondly, the contribution value of the screenwriters who signed the screenwriting at the same time is not balanced. This will lead to a situation where the screenwriters with less contribution value will take on the next project. The industry has a big impact."

"And this script director largely depends on character, because he has a lot of power. He will modify your script at any time, or change your script magically. At that time, let alone the signature, whether you can get paid according to the contract is all up to you." The question is, who is he not afraid of?"
