Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2134 Give you a chance to become famous
After Lin Daoqiu sat down, everyone sat down one after another.

Looking at Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui on the left, Lin Daoqiu didn't expect them to come today. He remembered that these two guys and Wang Jing had been staying in Baodao to film "God of Gamblers 2" before, why did they suddenly come here today? .

"Is the filming of "God of Gamblers" finished?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Wen Jun and asked.

Wen Jun quickly shook his head.

"I have been filming for several months, so I decided to give everyone a break for a while, and then go back to continue filming."

Lin Daoqiu did not expect Wen Jun to be a person who knows how to combine work and rest. He had underestimated him before. It seems that people can grow, but they must be given a chance to be independent.

Nodding his head, Lin Daoqiu seemed very satisfied with Wen Jun's decision.

"Filming requires a balance of work and rest. You two did a good job this time, but you must continue to work hard in the future, so don't be complacent."

Wen Jun didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to praise him in public, which made him a little embarrassed.

In fact, it was Wen Jun himself who felt that filming for too long was too tiring, both physically and mentally, he had already fallen into a period of exhaustion, so he just gave himself a vacation.

But he would never say such things in front of Lin Daoqiu, otherwise the other party might not give him a good look.

"Understood Brother Qiu, I will pay attention to it in the future."

After talking with Wen Jun, Lin Daoqiu turned his head to look at the crowd.

"I have invited you here today because I want to talk to you about something. Since everyone is a screenwriter, what I'm talking about today is naturally related to this industry."

Everyone was listening carefully when Lin Daoqiu was speaking, and no one dared to speak at this time.

He didn't realize that as he got older, Lin Daoqiu became more and more prestigious in front of everyone, and everyone also asked Lin Daoqiu to do things according to Lin Daoqiu's orders.

Especially after Lin Daoqiu brought back the Xiangjiang Cinemas, no one in the Xiangjiang film industry has a higher prestige than Lin Daoqiu.

"It has been ten years since I entered the industry and wrote the first "Master Qian". My qualifications in the screenwriting industry are lower than those of you sitting next to me, but the results are still good. "

Lin Daoqiu's words are really self-effacing. If his grades are only good, then everyone's grades here will be a mess.

"I've been thinking about a question recently, what will happen to Xiangjiang's film industry if I stop writing scripts one day?"

When Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, everyone had surprised expressions on their faces.

Because they never thought that one day Lin Daoqiu would not write a script.

"I can't get an accurate answer after much deliberation, so I plan to give it a try. From this year on, except for a big movie, I will greatly reduce the frequency of writing scripts, and the future of Xiangjiang's film and television industry will depend on you to maintain."

Listening to the meaning of Lin Daoqiu's words, it seems that he decided this matter on a whim, which is simply too childish.

Originally, they didn't take Lin Daoqiu's words too seriously, but now that Lin Daoqiu really said that, it meant that he wasn't joking with everyone.

For these screenwriters, if Lin Daoqiu does not write the script, the box office that the films of the Xiangjiang Film Industry can get in the future may shrink significantly.

"Brother Qiu, I think it's better to have a long-term plan on this matter. You are still so young. If you do this so early, it will be a huge loss to the film industry."

Different from the screenwriters on the scene, Wen Jun and Zheng Danrui are not only screenwriters, they are also directors.

This year's Spring Festival, Wang Jing's "God of Gamblers" was written by Lin Daoqiu, and he also gave a lot of suggestions for this play.

If it weren't for this, it would be impossible for them alone to get a box office score of 6000 million. This is something that you don't even have to think about.

"Actually, I did this for the good of Xiangjiang's film industry. If the box office of Xiangjiang's movies in the past few years excludes the films I wrote and made, what do you think will happen to the box office?"

There is no need to guess at all, everyone quickly came to a conclusion.

Once the movies made from the script written by Lin Daoqiu are excluded, the box office performance of the Xiangjiang film industry in the past ten years will definitely not be so dazzling.

"I can already see what the result is from the expressions on everyone's faces, so I have to implement this matter..."

"Although I will reduce the creation of scripts, this is not a bad thing for you. In the future, I plan to improve the treatment of screenwriters."

If a local film market wants to produce excellent works all the time, screenwriting is of course a top priority.

Because they turn zeros into ones, and the cast and crew turn ones into more.

This kind of creation from scratch is actually the most important link, but everyone didn't take screenwriting too seriously at the beginning, because directors, movie stars and producers are the most shining existence in everyone's eyes.

In Hollywood, the status of screenwriters is not as humble as that in the Chinese area. Screenwriters in Hollywood, Neon, and Han Country have been protected in terms of discourse rights and copyrights.

Promoting legislation is a later matter, but Lin Daoqiu plans to slowly start to improve the treatment of screenwriters, and must improve them both in terms of reputation and material.

"I know that the salary of famous screenwriters in movies now starts at a minimum of one million yuan for a script, while the top salary for TV drama screenwriters has increased from the previous 30 yuan to the current [-] yuan. This is progress but not the end."

Lin Daoqiu's words made many screenwriters present smile happily, because once Lin Daoqiu raised the status and salary of screenwriters, it would certainly be something they wished for.

But on the other hand, for people like Huang Baiming, Wen Jun, and Zheng Danrui who can start their own films, once the salary of the screenwriter is improved, then the film production fee will be reduced accordingly.

If they were just screenwriters, they would be very happy with Lin Daoqiu's decision, but while changing their identities, they also began to have their own ideas.

"Because TV series are broadcast for free, it is difficult to increase the income of screenwriters, let alone the dividends in the later stage, but the screenwriters of movies can improve from the box office income of movies, but I don't want to increase the price infinitely... "

"For example, if you feel that the script you wrote is likely to sell for money, then you can reduce or even give up the manuscript remuneration in exchange for increasing the final share. This is all your choice."

Lin Daoqiu didn't think about this point before, and everyone never thought that a screenwriter could be like this.
