After taking a few odd jobs, Lin Zhaoxia finally began to receive script writing jobs.
Just being a gunman.
There are several types of gunners. Some first-line screenwriters hire someone to be a gunman. He is only responsible for coming up with his name, a theme idea, or an episode synopsis, and the gunman does the rest.
Others can participate in script discussion and writing, but in all cases experienced screenwriters will finalize the second draft. Another option is to find a ghostwriter if you receive a job as a screenwriter but fail to submit the manuscript by the deadline.
And none of these gunmen have the right to sign. It's like getting a job from a contractor.
The job that Lin Zhaoxia received was due for submission. The other party couldn't submit the manuscript and had to find someone to write for it.
There are many reasons why you cannot submit your manuscript by the due date. Many screenwriters often have more than one job on their hands.
Lin Zhaoxia had never cooperated with the other party before, so he saw that his deadline was approaching, so he bargained the price of an episode from 6,000 to 8,000. He also asked that half of the money be paid before writing, and the other half would be paid after the manuscript was submitted.
The other party disagrees.
I only agreed to deliver half of the manuscript, pay half of the payment, and pay the remaining amount after the manuscript was completed.
Lin Zhaoxia thought about it and agreed.
The friend sent me the synopsis and episode summaries. I also posted biographies of the characters in this episode.
Lin Zhaoxia took a look and saw that it was a sweet drama with 30 episodes, ranging from school uniforms to wedding dresses.
The early content of the story is somewhat similar to her experience with Han Yang. It's all about the love between a common girl and a rich young man, and they end up being beaten up.
But in this drama, ten years after graduation, the male and female protagonists have made great achievements in their respective careers. They meet again by chance, only to find out that the male and female are unmarried. Looking back, the person who misses the most is still the other person. In the end, they go through hardships. The story of two people running for each other.
The ghostwritten drama is their reunion scene ten years after graduation.
The female protagonist drove to reminisce about the alley where she and the male protagonist had graffitied. The narrow road bumped into someone else's car. Seeing that she was a single beauty, the other party came to blackmail her and refused to let her go. Fortunately, he met the male protagonist who happened to be here to pay his respects, and the male protagonist came to the rescue.
Lin Zhaoxia wrote it very easily. She had just left college not long ago and had a beautiful campus romance. She wrote the campus part with ease. Writing about the scene of their reunion is like experiencing it personally...
The male protagonist (politely sent the blackmailed car owner away, turned around, faced the female protagonist, and smiled): "Long time no see."
The heroine (with reminiscence in her eyes and smile): "Long time no see."
Oh my god, this sweet love is attacking me like crazy, sharking me!
I also want to have a sweet love! Lin Zhaoxia yelled crazily while writing.
Han Yang was her first love, bringing sunshine to her gloomy life.
She left her parents' home in Yuhang and went to school in Haishi. She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she met Han Yang, who once again made her realize that there are so many ways to live in this world. The years she spent with Han Yang were her happiest times.
But to talk to him again... just forget it.
Not to be offended.
Lin Zhaoxia had no difficulty in writing it. She finished it in one night and sent half of the episodes to the other party the next morning.
Half an hour later, Lin Zhaoxia received a transfer of four thousand yuan and sent the remaining half of the script.
I waited anxiously for fear of encountering a scammer.
Fortunately, I received the final payment soon. She breathed a huge sigh of relief. Send the other person a careful emoji.
The other party also gave her a grateful expression and left a message: "Looking forward to our next cooperation."
Well……
Fine. "Looking forward to our next cooperation." Lin Zhaoxia also replied. A gunman is a gunman. The situation is stronger than the person. You must survive first.
Only by surviving can we talk about the future.
The deposit exceeded 20,000! happy. You have to reward yourself.
Lin Zhaoxia's way of rewarding herself was as simple and crude as ever, which was to eat something delicious or sweet. Eating sweet things can make people feel good.
But Shi Yi was not in a good mood.
The investors did not agree to use Lin Zhaoxia and insisted on finding a well-known front-line screenwriter who would determine the theme and outline.
Investors believe that only if the show has the name of a front-line screenwriter and leverages the other party's reputation can it form a brand effect and make money in the future.
The investors don't care whether the script was written by the other party.
Shi Yi liked Lin Zhaoxia's outline and creativity, but Bai asked for her outline. He felt bad and wanted to get Lin Zhaoxia a chance to be a co-writer, but he didn't know that the investors had recommended two more screenwriters. It was said that they would write it.
As a result, when Shi Yi saw what the other party wrote, he felt angry. What the hell is this written about?
"Have you never been to the countryside? Are you writing about the countryside on Mars?"
The two wrote and nodded seriously, "I have never been to the countryside."
Shi Yi fell back in anger.
"If you haven't been there, learn about it! Experience it! Live it! Don't just talk about it on paper! You don't think it's real, how can you make the audience feel like you're there?"
He cursed a few times, feeling very angry.
I looked through the synopsis and character biographies sent by Lin Zhaoxia on the computer again, and sighed, but I refrained from using them. Although many crews will use other people's creativity for free.
On the other side, Daqi, the capital.
The prince was also in a bad mood. He was discussing matters with a group of staff in the East Palace.
"Your Highnesses have performed well in the Sixth Department and have received frequent awards from the Emperor recently. On the other hand, Your Highnesses have performed mediocrely. This morning, the Emperor only mentioned His Highness Three, His Highness Six and His Highness Thirteen, and did not mention His Highness the Crown Prince."
"We should think of something."
All the staff offered their suggestions.
The prince frowned and listened quietly. After everyone finished speaking, he said: "You guys think, what will happen if I propose to my father tomorrow morning that I call Lao Qi back to the capital to share my father's worries?"
One of the staff praised: "What a good thing! This move can greatly increase the prince's reputation for benevolence and brotherhood. Secondly, it can also win over His Majesty the Seventh. His talents were not inferior to those of the Crown Prince, and the Queen was the first. Pulse still has some power in the court, and if His Highness can get help from His Majesty the Seventh Highness, he can gain an arm."
But some staff members disagreed: "We... stood idly by and watched the Crown Prince's case back then. His Highness the Seventh Prince might not necessarily help the Crown Prince."
"Yes, the first prince and the first queen are like thorns stuck in the emperor's heart. The thorn will hurt if it is not pulled out, but if it is pulled out forcibly, it will hurt even more with flesh and blood. If this is not done well, it will be self-defeating. , the gain outweighs the loss.”
A group of staff argued fiercely.
In the morning of the next day, the prince reported to the Zhizheng Emperor: "Father, my ministers recently sent people to the imperial mausoleum to inquire about the seventh brother. They found out that he was in bad condition and felt heartbroken. The seventh brother has been guarding the mausoleum for six years, and it is time to summon him. Return to the capital to comfort my pregnant father and share his worries."
In the main hall, a group of adult princes were lined up in the front row. His eyes flickered upon hearing this.
The brothers of the Third and Fourth Highnesses looked at each other and remained silent. The other princes also lowered their eyes and said nothing when the elders were silent. Some quickly glanced at their father on the throne to observe his reaction.
His Highness Thirteenth stood up and nodded in agreement with the prince's words: "My son, I agree, Brother Seventh has suffered too much these years, and it is time to call him back to the capital to serve as the father of the emperor."
The Eighth Prince Zhao Guangmao thought for a while and then stood up: "My son seconded the proposal."
