Because the prize money in the screenwriting competition is high enough, and Xiaohongma Film and Television Company has become famous in recent years and has produced many hit film and television works, the competition attracts many creators to participate every year, and the scripts received every year It has repeatedly set new highs, and the quality of its works has also improved significantly.

This year, Little Red Horse Film and Television has brought Pujiang University together to host the finals.

There are seven judges in the finals, including three from Little Red Horse Film and Television Company, two from Pujiang University, and two invited industry leaders.

The three people from Little Red Horse Film and Television are the company's vice president Li Qing, the director of the screenwriting department, and Jiang Rong. The people from Pujiang University are a vice dean of the School of Film and Television and a professor. The other two people invited to participate are respectively It is director Liu Jinlu and famous screenwriter Cao Wen.

Liu Jinlu has directed "The Hidden Corner" and "The Silent Truth", and his most recent work is the movie "Fatal ID".

As for Cao Wen, he is a contracted screenwriter of Pujiang Film Studio and is well-known in the industry. He once fought against Zhang Tan and was hired by the studio to suppress Zhang Tan.

But Zhang Tan had no personal displeasure with him.

Zhang Tan caused a commotion as soon as he entered the auditorium, and many people recognized him.

He started out as a small screenwriter at Pujiang Film Studio and is very legendary in the industry. Many screenwriters regard him as an inspirational idol.

"It's Zhang Tan who's here."

"Sure enough, he's here."

"I'm here just for him."

"He is our idol."

"It's enough for the screenwriter to reach his level."

…

Everyone was talking a lot, and several judges on the judges' bench also saw him and stood up to greet him.

Among them, Cao Wen looked a little embarrassed. He was used as a gunman by Pujiang Film Studio and opposed Zhang Tan. Although Zhang Tan seemed to have forgotten it, he still remembered it.

Except for Jiang Rong and others, Zhang Tan shook hands with everyone and chatted for a few words.

"You follow the procedure, I'm just here to watch." Zhang Tan said, sitting in the first row. Everyone asked him to sit on the judges' table, but Zhang Tan did not agree.

The finals went on as scheduled. The hosts were a man and a woman. The man was a host from Pujiang TV. Zhang Tan had seen it on TV, so he looked familiar.

The woman is said to be a student majoring in broadcasting and hosting at Pujiang University. This time she was specially recommended by Pujiang University and has a relationship with Li Qing.

Various awards were announced one after another, and the list of the top ten scripts was also announced, followed by the top three scripts. Among them, "Mystery by the River" won the first place, and "The Murder in Chinatown" won the runner-up.

The two authors are both young people. They are nervous and excited when they stand on the podium. The winner can get a million bonus!

Moreover, their works will automatically enter the "incubation factory" for incubation, which means they have entered the project start-up stage, and there is great hope for film and television production.

These award-winning authors were invited to the podium to talk about their creative thoughts and experiences.

Then, several judges came on stage to share their experiences.

After the deputy dean of the School of Film and Television of Pujiang University finished sharing his experience, the host solemnly said: "Next, let us warmly applaud and invite Mr. Zhang Tan, the chairman of Xiaohongma Film and Television Company, to give us two lectures. sentence."

There was warm applause.

Zhang Tan stood up, waved to everyone, and walked onto the stage.

He was notified of his speech on stage today, so he was prepared in advance.

"Dear creators, fellow students! I am very happy to be here with you. As a screenwriter, I would like to share my views with you. First of all, what I want to say is that screenwriting is the source and core of film and television creation. …”

Life for screenwriters is very difficult in China. Their status is low and they have basically no say in film and television creation. Naturally, their income is the lowest in the industry chain.

The identity of a screenwriter is very different in Hollywood and South Korea.

In South Korea, the screenwriter can decide the director and actors, and 70% of the decisions of the crew are made by the screenwriter.

In Hollywood, screenwriters' income accounts for 10%-20% of the total investment in the entire work.

In China, it is rare for a screenwriter to be paid 1 million for a movie, and few people in the industry can get it.

What Zhang Tan shared with you today is the importance Little Red Horse Film and Television Company attaches to screenwriters.

"In Little Red Horse Film and Television, the screenwriter is one of the main creators and decides on the crew together with the director and producer. Without the consent of the screenwriter, no one can modify the script, not the director, not the actors..."

The screenwriters below were whispering to each other. Zhang Tan's words were a dream for them, especially those creators who had already worked hard in the industry, and they knew the weight of Zhang Tan's words.

Many of them were severely beaten by the reality of the crew. Some of the scripts they worked so hard to create were changed beyond recognition. In the end, his name could not be signed and he was kicked out. The script had nothing to do with him.

Some finally passed five hurdles and defeated six generals, the script was put into production, and the film and television series were produced, but they could not get the money for a long time and fell into a long lawsuit...

Cheng Cheng, who was sitting in the front row, also looked sideways at Xiao Bai, who happened to be caught by Xiao Bai, and the two looked at each other.

Cheng Cheng took the initiative and said: "The director can't change the script."

She still remembered that when Xiaobai was in Baijiacun, he always wanted to revise the script of "The Other Shoe" she wrote. She almost got angry at her several times and quit the job on strike.

Xiao Bai laughed: "We need to discuss, hahaha."

Cheng Cheng hummed, and continued to stare at Boss Zhang on the podium, thinking that Boss Zhang's words were too good.

"We respect screenwriters, value screenwriters, give money, status, and power, and sincerely invite outstanding screenwriters to join Xiaohongma Film and Television, strengthen cooperation with Xiaohongma Film and Television, and let us create more excellent works together! Thank you!"

The applause was thunderous, much more enthusiastic than before.

After Zhang Tan finished speaking, the award-winning authors came on stage and took photos with the judges and Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan laughed very happily. These screenwriters will be collected by him and become his talent pool!

He wants to collect the best screenwriters and scripts in China, let them use them for themselves, and contribute their talents.

Let the world's talents be used by me!

Xiaohongma Film and Television Company will go public in the future, expand, and even go abroad, so it cannot rely on Zhang Tan alone to write scripts, but needs more authors to form an industrial chain, and it can operate normally without anyone.

"The company is already discussing the top three works and is preparing to start the film and television projects." Li Qing told Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan nodded. He wanted to modify the script of Chinatown Murders by himself, but after thinking about it, he decided to give it to the company's screenwriter department to modify it. He couldn't do everything himself in the future.

If the Chinatown Murders modified by the screenwriter department is very different from the Chinatown Detective series that was a big hit in the previous life, then he would write one himself, and maybe it could form a Chinatown Detective universe with this one.
