But when I saw the finished manuscript, I couldn¡¯t help but tear it up.
Xia Siyu is usually very calm when facing work, but she refused to agree to this draft and almost broke up with the screenwriter.
Her strict requirements for work were mixed with her emotional memories and attachment to her mother, so much so that she desperately tried to copy all her details. For some particularly angry points, I wish I could give them a little more indoctrination.
But as a TV series, if it were written completely according to the original situation, it would be fun but not satisfying enough. It would be quite sad. Moreover, it was designed to involve parents in getting married and having children for decades. Who would watch it? Are you going to act in "Parental Love" here?
This is what Xia Siyu was dissatisfied with. Although she promised the other party to write two versions, a tragedy in the main film and a comedy in the side story, she did not expect that the screenwriter would directly cut out many details of the tragedy, or make a significant compression, and immediately switch to the main film. An episode of comedy extra.
The compressed part is actually her own personal experience when she lived and grew up with her mother. The part that was enlarged and written about was a love story before marriage that she was unfamiliar with.
After all, in many fairy tales, the prince and princess overcome many difficulties and finally get together, which is the ending of the story.
He will never tell you that marriage is not the end of the story, but just the starting point of the next chapter, and sometimes it is the turning point of life. Most people's lives may be like this parabola. After reaching the peak, they begin to slide into the abyss.
At this point, Bo Yan definitely supports the screenwriter.
He understands Xia Siyu and understands that she wants to show the tragedy in all aspects. But TV, like movies, always has to be paid by the audience. As soon as he heard it, he knew that the outline written by the screenwriter would touch his heart more, and the audience would like to read it more. He is both a participant and an investor.
First of all, if you invest in a drama, if you know it won't be popular just by reading the script, and there are no ratings and no on-demand views, then you will rush to the market. Not to mention whether you can get the money back, they will also laugh at him and Xia Siyu: After all, it is their first time. "Go to the Sea" to film a TV series. Of course, they have a lot of blood, and they will continue to act in movies after TV dramas, and they will not ruin their brand just because a movie is not good, but since they know that there are other ways, there is no need to do this.
Thirdly, if the script is not well written, the effect Xia Siyu originally wanted to achieve, whether he wanted to commemorate his mother or satirize the Xia family, would have no views or attention, and no one would watch it. Who would care about these things? Only by impressing the audience will the audience be interested in her behind-the-scenes story, otherwise it will just become self-admiration.
??Also, generally when filming TV series, unless there is an adaptation of a prototype IP, ensure that most of the scripts are written based on this IP, without major modifications, and the approximate origins and transitions can be known. Otherwise, the actors are usually given only the scripts of the first five episodes, as well as character biographies and synopses. After all, the script is also a trade secret. If you are not a super boss, you will not be shown the entire script. They can still make changes now and discuss the content and framework with the screenwriter, which is already very valuable.
He knew it in his heart, and Xia Siyu should also know it. She just couldn't get over it. She wanted to give the best and most to her mother.
¡°But Xia Siyu has amazing intuition about scripts and work. Before she started studying acting skills and working hard to learn knowledge, she relied entirely on intuition to take on roles. Not to mention, the script she picked did not matter whether it won awards or not, but the box office was quite high. If the box office is high, that means at least the script is well-written and the story is detailed and well-written.
It is said that work and personal matters should not be confused. That is only when your personal matters have not yet touched the bottom line of your work. When your personal affairs really completely control your brain and prevent you from making a calm judgment, how many people can accept it calmly?
So he insisted on his opinion: "I understand how you feel, but I still support the screenwriter's idea. The specific details can be changed, but the overall framework is well written and does not need to be changed."
Xia Siyu refused: "Why? He just erased it when he said it would be erased? What does it mean to completely cut off the sufferings behind it? This person can't write. If he can't write it, just change it. I don't believe it and he can't find it. Another person who can write good stories!¡±
Bo Yan was very calm: "Of course you can find it. There may be other screenwriters who can write better than him. But it will take time. If it doesn't start filming or start filming, just push it back."
"Then push it back!" Her mother's story, of course, she hopes to be more perfect. Why is it shoddy and rushed?
Bo Yan nodded: "Okay, that's the second question. Money."
????????????????? After all, it¡¯s money. When they filmed "Sunrise" before, they didn't get many investors. Not only did they get no pay, but they also?Out of pocket. During this period, due to investment, several films were not released. For example, "Spring Scene" is still stuck until now. He didn't get a penny for filming this movie. It was agreed in advance that he would split the money at the box office after it was released.
With the money he earned before, Bo Yan¡¯s villa with a royal villa facing the wind was very expensive. The Bo family didn't give him any money, he got it after he entered the entertainment industry. Some of them have invested in film and television companies and have no cash.
Xia Siyu didn¡¯t either. He didn¡¯t have much left after paying liquidated damages before. After working alone, he made more, but he also had to support a team, which was hard to come by.
There is definitely no shortage of money to live by, and there is no shortage of money for daily operations, but investment in filming can range from tens of millions, which is only a B-level standard. An A-level script requires an investment of hundreds of millions, S-level and S+ require even more investment, and there are many TV dramas worth over RMB 500 million.
Although we can recruit investors, it is difficult to get such a large investment, and we have to be wary of various funders trying to control the quality of the TV.
Bo Yan said very bluntly: "It is difficult to find a screenwriter when it comes to temporary replacement. You don't know if he will do it himself. Maybe he will hand it over to a small screenwriter below and outsource it layer by layer. Even if he finds such a famous screenwriter, The price is also very high. We have no money and cannot afford to wait until we sell the house.¡±
Of course Xia Siyu knew the situation, but she still couldn't accept it. Intellectually, she understands that now everyone likes to watch happy endings and doesn't like to find abuse in TV series, but she doesn't want to change the ending.
I¡¯m still on the show and want to take a picture of what they¡¯re talking about.
After all, under the moonlight, the two people standing on the sand dunes and looking at the sky, as long as they stand together in the same frame, it will be a CP show, and the program team does not want to miss any material. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
