In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

"Wei Xiaobao has seven wives, our hero must design at least five!"

"...The eldest lady of the Xiao family, the leader of the rebel army... plus a young master who teaches him martial arts, why are there two more?"

A confidante, a talented man and a beautiful woman...the love between master and disciple...

Now that we have it all together, how else can we get it together?

"Can you set up an exotic princess?"

Zhao Xin also joined in. It was obvious that everyone in the dormitory was very optimistic about "The Best Butler"...

Come up with ideas one after another.

Shen Xudong was listening quietly on the side, "The Best Servant", his favorite heroine is of course...Xu Zhiqing!

A woman can say "Battle of Bayanhot." The king's reputation rose. He went deep into the grassland and cut off the enemy's food. With his flesh and blood, he defended the enemy from outside the country. It made the barbarians frightened by the news. I am grateful for the kindness of the king. I can't think of anything. There is only one thing to repay. Please don’t think: Zhiqing can die. Helan Mountain will never fall!”

"Zhiqing knows your thoughts. But the future is long and full of thorns. I hope you will cherish your body and don't make others miss you. I dress in fine clothes and am half-buried in the sand. I pray for your blessings day and night and wait for your triumphant return!"

This is so shocking, so I have to add a heroine who teaches at Kyoto Academy...

"Fourth, tell me something!"

Shen Xudong said casually: "Mrs. Xiao... I think... it's a one-size-fits-all approach, absolutely innovative!"

"roll!"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "I'm serious..."

…

"The Best Housekeeper" received the manuscript in the name of Tianmei Studio.

Ma Zhongjun offered a price of 15,000 yuan per episode, which is considered the market price.

At present, the income of domestic screenwriters is as follows: screenwriters with well-known works are paid about 30,000 yuan per episode, and the most popular ones are 50,000 yuan per episode...

Shen Xudong and others have written the prime-time work "Dragon Part 1". Although it has not been broadcast yet, Shen Xudong himself is a well-known writer...

Fifteen thousand an episode is not too much...

In addition, I must say that the income of screenwriters at this stage is quite good!

A first-line actor's salary is only 30,000 to 50,000 yuan - among the many professions that rely on writing for a living, screenwriters can be ranked first. Only 10 of 10 million writers can drive a good car, and for screenwriters , this is simply normal.

It’s just that the screenwriter’s income has not increased much since then, but the actor’s salary has soared hundreds of times...

Oh, the above are all TV drama screenwriters.

Film screenwriter…

Anyway, Shen Xudong has not thought about making movies for the time being.

The current market environment is very bad, and everyone is basically losing money...

He doesn't want to resist the heavy burden of saving Chinese films for the time being, and he can't resist it!

In addition, let me say that the Tianmei Studio project is divided into two words: half and half...

It's not about equal distribution, but whoever takes over the project gets half of it. For example, in the project "The Good Butler", Shen Xudong got half of the script he accepted. The chief screenwriter was Liao Gaoxiang, and he got the remaining 60%. There is 40% left, divided equally among four people...

Because all four people participated...

unfair?

That's fair enough. Why do people ask Tianmei Studio to write scripts?

What matters most is Shen Xudong...

Including "The Best in the World", Shen Xudong also gets half, and as the chief screenwriter, he gets the remaining 60%...

…

In mid-June, Shen Xudong started a nationwide book signing...

Basically all weekends, the five major cities in the country, BJ, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Changsha...

Shanghai was added by Shen Haobo. Among the four major book markets in the country, there is no one in Shanghai...

In fact, selling books is secondary, the main thing is accepting media interviews and building a character!

Oh, now it’s called personal image…

In Shen Haobo's view, the writer's personal image is very important, even more important than the work itself!

Why is Han Han so popular?

The main reason is that the image of a genius writer + rebellious boy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Shen Haobo's original words: "Flying Like a Boy" has no sense of novel at all. It is as messy, lengthy and boring as a running account... But it sold more than 800,000 copies, making it the top literary work last year! "

Of course, it is impossible for Shen Xudong to copy Han Han's character...

Learn from it!

First of all, we must create an image of genius.

For example, when asked why he wrote "The Best in the World", he replied: "I wrote a column for "BJ Youth" before and commented on many martial arts characters. I received a lot of attacks, saying that I don't even have my own works and am not qualified to comment. …Then I wrote ‘The Best in the World’!”

Just write it casually in order to silence others...

Secondly, let’s discuss martial arts and establish a clear image:

""The Best in the World" should be my only martial arts novel, and I won't write it again in the future!"

"The so-called martial arts refers to martial arts. Wu Yi is described because Chinese culture is extensive and profound, astronomy and geography, and the three religions and nine streams can be integrated into the description of martial arts. From music, art, chess, poetry, medicine, cooking, etc., all walks of life You can write something about martial arts, but the word "xia" is the most difficult to describe."

"When there is an injustice on the road, he draws his sword to help, this is a small hero; when the turmoil in the rivers and lakes defeats the demon sect, this is a middle hero; to calm the war and serve the country and the people, this is a hero. The word "xia" has been written over and over, but it is just one sentence: "violate the forbidden with force."

"The basic routines have been written down, whether it's about the angry horses in bright clothes and the joy of the rivers and lakes, or the bloody hatred of the orphans after the family was wiped out, or the intrigues between various sects, or the chaotic wars for the country and the people..."

"I couldn't think of anything new, so I sat together and created "The Best in the World"..."

Finally, of course, we promoted the TV series "The Best in the World".

"The adaptation rights have been sold, the script is being written, and filming is expected to start in August... The directors are Director Feng Baiyuan and Director Cheng Xiaodong..."

"Yes, I will be the screenwriter..."

"Although I am just a novice screenwriter, I am still the author of the original work. The producers and directors all respect me..."

…

In the early days of his debut, Han Han caused an uproar due to his rebellious image of a talented young writer and the theory that "reading is useless"...

His exposure is no less than that of A-list celebrities!

Shen Xudong...is not that rebellious, and he doesn't dare to be rebellious...

At most, he is a genius martial arts writer...

This is really far off!

The sales volume of "The Best in the World" exceeded 500,000, which is amazing...

But at most it was popular in the martial arts circle for a while, and there wasn’t much media coverage...

Therefore, this wave of book signings not only promotes "The Best in the World", but also mentions "Screening Room" and "In-depth Analysis"...

"I majored in Chinese Opera and Literature. I like movies and film history. "Screening Room" can be regarded as an introduction to Hong Kong film and television... I will do some history of the development of Hollywood genre films in the future..."

""In-Depth Analysis" is actually a movie introduction. We have film appreciation courses, but what we learn are some classic works, and few of them are commercial films... But I like to watch commercial films, so I thought of it. Pull the film to explain the commercial film..."

"...It was all a coincidence. Three episodes of "Screening Room" were produced. We couldn't find a broadcast platform, so we submitted them to various TV stations. It just happened that Mr. Liu Chun, director of the BJ Program Center of Phoenix TV, saw it and liked it very much, so he bought it out. Already…”

"The price... I'm not comfortable disclosing it. Anyway, we signed a contract for one year, and the exclusive licensing fee is more than two million..."

"Yes, I'm still in my freshman year, and I write the copywriting for each program myself..."

"I only planned "In-Depth Analysis", and the actual execution was carried out by my roommates... Zhao Linhai, Zhao Xin and Liao Gaoxiang, the three of them are also the co-screenwriters of "The Best in the World"..."

That's enough. In fact, these are not important. Just the "exclusive licensing fee of more than two million" is enough!
