After a long time, Chen Dong put down the script and said to Hu Yibo, "The script is OK, with many elements that attract audiences, such as funny, bizarre, romance, love, and popular funny jokes on the Internet. I think it is definitely very popular to make a TV series, but there are still many shortcomings in the script, such as the character's personality traits are not prominent and the sense of existence is weak!

For example, Guo Lin, one of the male protagonists, in the script, you set your personality as sensitive, dedicated, meddling nostalgic, and afraid to face your own feelings. You feel that your personality is very ordinary and lacks presence in the play. However, if you add some unrelated shortcomings to Guo Lin, behave handsomely and behave coolly, then, you will enlarge the coolness, behave coolly, and add some weird and exaggerated expressions, gestures, and lines that are repeated repeatedly, in this way, the character Guo Lin is easily remembered by the audience in the play, and has a very presence, and the character Guo Lin will be played alive."

After reading this script, Chen Dong thought of the original time and space "Love Apartment", which became very popular in the mainland.

Since Love 1 was launched on Xijiang TV, its funny and humorous style has been quite popular. It is no less popular in China than the popular American drama "Friends" back then. Later, Love 2, which was born with the trend, will continue to be popular with more people.

Afterwards, Love 3 and Love 4 are known as the "No. 1 God-defying drama in the world". This series has exceeded 1 billion online clicks in three years. Since the third season started, it has not only topped the ratings on major satellite TV stations, but also ranked first in the TV series trend list.

The content of the script in my hand is somewhat similar to "Love Apartment". It is also a comedy sitcom, and there are also several urban fashionable men and women living in an apartment. The selling points are all kinds of funny, bizarre, romantic, and love.

After listening to Chen Dong's wonderful comments on the script, Hu Yibo admired Chen Dong from the bottom of his heart.

"However, there are many shortcomings in this script. If I buy it, I need to make a major modification. The main modification is the character characteristics of the characters in the play, highlighting the existence of the characters, making the characters in the play more easily remembered by the audience, and being more easily accepted and loved by the audience, and adding some novel laughs on the Internet. Popular topics, hot words, etc., that is, 'secondary creation', no problem." Chen Dong said to Hu Yibo.

‘Second creation’ is normal in the film and television industry. Usually, after the producer buys the script, some plots and lines are added to the script.

However, for screenwriters, it is difficult to accept the producer's "secondary creation". First, the director and actors randomly change the show, which is a disrespect for the screenwriter's work results.

Secondly, the "second creation" was ruined and was criticized by the audience. The producers and directors often attribute the flaws in the play to the screenwriter, and let the screenwriter take the blame.

"No problem." Hu Yibo said.

Chen Dong himself is a recognized top screenwriter in the screenwriter circle, and there is no need to mention his screenwriter skills.

Secondly, Chen Dong clearly pointed out the areas that need to be modified in the script, and he also agreed.

"How do you plan to cooperate?" Chen Dong said to Hu Yibo.

The value of a script written by a screenwriter can only be reflected when it is put on the stage or on the screen/silver screen!

As a screenwriter, there are two ways to realize the value of scripts. First, shoot yourself, and second, sell them to those who are capable of filming.

If sold to those who are capable of filming, the screenwriter can get a fixed salary, how much does a single episode? Generally, the first-line screenwriter costs 10,000 yuan per episode, while the top screenwriter can get a single episode of 25,000 yuan per episode.

You can also choose to get a commission. The first salary accounts for about 1% of the total investment in the film and TV series. The other part is profit sharing. Screenwriters can get commissions from the total income of theater screenings, TV broadcasts and audio-visual products for sale, and peripheral industries.

Chen Dong flipped through the script, and there were 22 episodes in total. If Hu Yibo chose to get a fixed salary, one episode would be about 40,000,000,000 in 22 episodes.

If Hu Yibo chooses to get a commission, according to the production fee of 800,000 in the first season of "Love is Coming", Hu Yibo can get 80,000 in the first period of salary.

If "Love is Coming" is lost, you can get at most 100,000 yuan in the end, which is far from getting a fixed salary of 100,000 yuan.

If "Love is Coming" becomes popular, the total revenue commission for TV broadcasts + peripheral products commissions will be several times that of 100W.

How to choose, it depends on whether Hu Yibo is optimistic about "Love is Coming" and will become popular.

"I choose to get a commission." Hu Yibo said without hesitation.

He is very confident in whether "Love is Coming" will become popular, and he is even more confident in Chen Dong.

Chen Dong is optimistic and plans to film the TV series he is going to lose, and he chooses to get a fixed salary when his head is rusted.

Chen Dong nodded, immediately called the staff of the company's legal department and drafted a contract.

The contract content stipulates that the copyright of the TV series "Love is Coming" and the copyright of the subsequent production belong to the producer.

"You can check this contract first. If there is no problem, you can sign it." Chen Dong said to Hu Yibo.

Hu Yibo took the contract and looked at it. Seeing that there was no problem, he picked up the pen and signed his name.

"Happy cooperation!" Chen Dong stretched out his left hand.

"Happy cooperation!" Hu Yibo stretched out his right hand and shook it.

After waiting for Hu Yibo and leaving with excitement.

Chen Dong sat in the office and began to develop the "second creation" of "Love is Coming".

Modify the character characteristics of the characters.

Guo Lin: A little bit naughty, nosy, sensitive, Virgo, has a virginity obsession, and dare not face their own feelings. The catchphrase:..., the most common movements, eyebrow dance, coolness, and handsomeness.

After Chen Dong's modification, the character Guo Lin became "perfect", close to the audience, and had more shortcomings that were not only important. He said N times of mantras and funny eyebrows dances. These are easy for the audience to remember and full of laughter. This character is very successful in shaping.

Zhao Yifang: romantic and elegant, playboy, unreliable, harmful to others, catchphrase: Hi, beauty, galloping horses,..., the most common movements,...

...

Then, many funny points and funny online lines from the original time and space are added to the play. This time and space are not available. At that time, the TV series will illuminate the audience's eyes after it is broadcast.

Finally, some topics that are close to the current hot, and after some modifications, they are implanted into the script.

...

After major modifications, the plot has become more "full", the characters have become more distinctive, easily remembered by the audience, accepted by the audience, and liked more. In addition, there are many laughs and romance, and the love in the play is even more exciting.
