World of Movies and TV: From Breaking Up with Qiao Jingjing

"The boss... strongly demands to recruit new employees!" The head of the screenwriting department yelled dissatisfiedly: "All of us have been working continuously for half a month!"

"Hey, I'm looking for it, I'm looking for it." Zhao Hao forgot about it.

It seemed a little embarrassing.

With the independence of each IP of the company, which department is the most tragic?

The answer, of course, is the screenwriting department.

After all, even if ip is independent, it is obviously impossible for the screenwriting department to be independent.

At the beginning, the screenwriters did not realize the seriousness of the matter.

However, when they started to work frequently and the leisure time of fishing in troubled waters was gone forever, they became completely speechless.

other departments.

Submit a launch plan for a new project.

Then after the company approved it, they directly handed over the plan to their screenwriting department.

In the past, because all IPs were in one company, and the company's production capacity was limited, the number of IP works produced each year was also limited.

The requirements for the script are naturally not that great.

Working in Haotian's screenwriting department, although I can't say that I'm fishing all the time every day, I still have half a day of work and a half day of rest.

Even sometimes, there is no one alive for a whole month.

Don't be too comfortable with white-collar wages.

However, the problem was that after all the IPs were independently operated, the nightmare of their screenwriting department began.

Every day when I enter the company, from the moment I step into the door of the company, people from various departments rush to update the script.

Chapter 390

Some require scripts for audio plays.Some require animation scripts.

Some require scripts for spin-off games.

The most hateful thing is that there are still people who came to them with the script of the second creation and asked them to polish it!

Nima!

Don't bring such bullying!

One thing to say, Haotian's screenwriting department is already quite big.

The entire Haotian has a full 100+ screenwriters.

Logically speaking, this number of screenwriters should be enough for other companies.

However, the problem is that Haotian has too many IPs.

There are too many works derived from these IPs.

According to one IP, it can be transformed into film, TV drama, animation, gamification, drama with sound, puppet drama, two-person transformation, drama, and novelization.

After this series of operations, even if each series only has three seasons, it will be 27 books!

Note that this is just an ip!

At present, Haotian owns "The Invisible Guardian", "Barbara Little Devil's Heart", "The Little Master of Creation", "Sword", "Tomb Raider", "Magic Sailor Moon", "lol", "dota2" and "Dream Three Kingdoms".

This is not counting the "Pretty Magical Girl" and the upcoming new ip "Dragon Ball" on the foot pot chicken.

That is to say, if all the entire series of all IPs are produced into one script, there will be 243 scripts!

Even if the average distribution is based on 100+ screenwriters, each person has to write 2.43 scripts!

You must know that even if the number of words in each script is not many, only 20 words are calculated, that is to say, one person needs to write 121.5 million words!

Note that this is just an average, there are actually many more than this number.

If this time is extended to one year, then naturally there is no problem.

If you write an average of 4000 words a day, it will be 146 million words a year.

but……

They don't have a year.

They only have a maximum of one month!

Write 121.5 million words in one month?

Write 4.05 words a day?

You must know that even after more than 20 years in the Internet literature world in the previous life, there is only one tentacle monster "Eagle Catch Chicken" who can really update 4 characters a day!

You want all screenwriters to turn into tentacle monsters in an instant?

Is it possible?

And writing a screenplay is not the same as writing a novel.

To write a novel, you only need to prepare the outline in the early stage, write the detailed outline, and then write crazy words on it.

But the script requires the screenwriter to highly simulate a certain scene!

In other words, for a screenwriter, a scene with a utilization rate of less than [-] words is insulting!

But for novel authors, it is normal to describe a scene with less than 2000 words.

for example.

The author of the novel writes that it is quite normal for a person to see an acquaintance saying hello when he passes by the door of a restaurant, and then they part ways.

About 2000 words is normal without water.

But the screenwriter wants to extend this scene.

Why are the two acquaintances.

What are the two doing.

What day did the two chat, then what kind of interaction did the two have, and then what happened, and then the two parted ways because of something, and then what kind of parting words did they have, etc...

All of these must be described.

And the key is, not only two people, but also the surrounding environment.

For example, except for the authors of hydrology, most novel authors, even if they describe the environment, either briefly describe it, or set a plot and then briefly introduce it.

Only a screenwriter can make all these things clear, and then expand on a nearby situation.

In short, an ordinary scene where acquaintances meet does not stop at [-] words.

As a result, the production capacity is naturally seriously insufficient.

If the production capacity is insufficient and changes cannot be made, then the only option is to recruit more people.

However, the problem is that there are now more than 100 people in Haotian's screenwriting department.

Even in a research and development team of thousands of people abroad, the number of screenwriters is only about 100.

Now if Zhao Hao continues to recruit screenwriters, it is likely to cause a certain degree of staff bloat.

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhao Hao still had a decision in his heart.

trick!

And there is a big move!

the reason is simple.

On the one hand, it is for the preparation of IP derivative works in the future, and on the other hand, it is also to cultivate excellent screenwriters as soon as possible.

No one thinks that the screenwriter of film and television dramas is the same job as the plot planner of animation and games, right?

of course not!

Not only is it not, but the audience and writing style are completely different!

It’s too specific to say, as long as you know that these professions are collectively referred to as screenwriters.

But in fact, it would be nice if there were two completely different types of people, the same as the top supreme god and the street writer.

Seeing that Zhao Hao finally agreed, the head of the screenwriting department finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he didn't dislike working overtime.

After all, Haotian's overtime pay is very high, and many people will even take the initiative to apply for overtime.

but……

If at the end of the day, they all work overtime, without any time to rest, they will have to face a crowd of ip studios that need scripts when they open their eyes every day...

That was too bad.

No, I want to eat something for hair growth when I go back. Recently, I have been staying up late frequently, which made my hair fall out a lot.

Zhao Hao, of course, didn't come to listen to the screenwriters complain about happiness's troubles.

He's here to check the script for Dragon Ball.

Fortunately, as early as the establishment of Haotian, Zhao Hao paid great attention to the training of screenwriters.

Therefore, the script creation of "Dragon Ball" is relatively fast.

After all, the priority still needs to be understood.

Zhao Hao picked up part of the script that had already been written and read it.

It is generally in line with the contents of his proposal.

Of course, in terms of some details, some points that were not in the previous life have also been added.

For example, the setting of "Dragon Ball" in the previous life is still somewhat attached to the folktale of the foot pot chicken.

For example, Lan Qi, who has no role in it.

In fact, Lan Qi is really the least existential character in the entire "Dragon Ball" series.

Obviously there should be a follow-up plot, but for the sake of sales and to cater to the national conditions of the foot pot chicken at that time, the follow-up plot about Lan Qi was cancelled.

This also caused Lan Qi to appear as if she had no sense of existence at all.

As for the occasional appearance in subsequent versions, there is nothing shining.

That's just the official filling in the hole.

It's a bit like the one next to Zhao Hao...

Gu Jia?

Zhao Hao was taken aback suddenly, but he was a little surprised.

In fact, Zhao Hao almost knew vaguely why Gu Jia suddenly resigned and got married.

It seems that the reason lies with Wang Manni.

But now...

It doesn't matter anymore.

After all, Zhao Hao actually didn't feel much about Gu Jia himself.

There is no way, what happened to Gu Jia's actor back then was because it happened 20 years ago, and the Chinese people at that time didn't pay much attention to it, otherwise they would have been blocked long ago.

How can it be her turn to gradually become active on the screen later?

It can only be said that the Internet does have memory, but unfortunately, the Internet has the least memory.

Chapter 391

The follow-up plot of the role of Lan Qi was obviously deleted.So the role of Lan Qi should not exist.

But if the role of Lan Qi does not exist.

It became a problem for Kelin and Wukong to worship under Guixianren's sect.

In other words, the existence of a tool person is still needed.

But if it is determined that there are still tool people, then Lan Qi's existence becomes necessary again.

But the original author Akira Toriyama did not continue to write the follow-up Lan Qi's plot, so can Zhao Hao continue to write for it?
