74. Little drama bone
Zhang Tan formally completed the transfer procedures and handed over the work with Feng Dong before leaving.
"The department has adopted your opinion and decided to let Xu Jian continue to form the "Unfortunate Bear" project," said Feng Dong.
Because Zhang Tan left, there was a need for any subsequent work in "Unfortunate Bear" and someone had to be arranged to follow up. Feng Dong asked him to recommend one person, and Zhang Tan recommended Xu Jian.
"He has this ability. Of course, if you have any questions, you can come to me." Zhang Tan said.
Feng Dong patted Zhang Tan on the shoulder and said, "Director Wang heard that you were going to be transferred. He had a lot of opinions at first, but later he figured it out. After all, it was related to your career prospects. She asked me to thank you and congratulate you."
Zhang Tan actually spoke with Wang Zhen, director of Pujiang TV, and she didn't want Zhang Tan to leave. Who will follow up on the project of "Unfortunate Bear"? Compared with finding someone else, she undoubtedly trusted Zhang Tan more, but after the phone communication, she also understood that everyone has their own choices, and she could not hinder others' career choices.
"Thank you for your understanding, too." Zhang Tan thanked. In this matter, the screenwriter department was quite open-minded and generous, and did not make things difficult for him.
"Although I'm not in the same department, I'm just a relationship upstairs and downstairs. I often come to visit the door if I have something to do. I hope you work hard to train yourself and achieve results in your new position."
"Thanks."
After leaving Feng Dong's office, Zhang Tan met Xu Jian, and Xu Jian said thank you sincerely.
Zhang sighed and said, "I want to thank you. I patted my butt and left. I will trouble you about the matter behind. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time."
Xu Jian never expected Zhang Tan to be transferred from his post, and he didn't expect that he would choose to go to the film and television department. When he heard the news, he thought he was joking and he was handed over the project to him again.
After saying goodbye to everyone briefly, Zhang Tan took the elevator to the 5th floor, which is the office floor of the film and television department.
"Come on~ Zhang Shen."
He Miao immediately noticed that Zhang Tan was coming and came to greet him happily.
"Hello, Minister He." Zhang sighed politely, He Miao smiled and looked in a great mood.
"Come here, you will work here from now on."
He Miao took Zhang Tan to an office, and he was the only one here, which was equivalent to his own exclusive office.
Then, He Miao took Zhang Tan to meet Zhu Ruopu, and then introduced him to the screenwriters in the screenwriter department.
Finally, He Miao brought Zhang Tan to his office.
"Come and sit in my office and let's talk."
After making a cup of tea for Zhang Tan, He Miao introduced Zhang Tan to the situation of the film and television department and screenwriter department. The first feeling he gave Zhang Tan was that he was weak.
"Now our main energy is all about "Chief Jin", which has led to no screenwriters following up on other projects. Now that you are here, do you have any ideas?"
Zhang Tan knew something about this place before coming, and just now he heard He Miao talk about it, sorted out his thoughts, and said: "I listened to the Minister's arrangements and moved wherever I needed, but I hope I can participate in the project as soon as possible."
"That's of course..."
He Miao means that Zhang Tan should not participate in "Chief Jin". Although this drama is currently the most popular in the studio, it has already entered many people. It doesn't make much sense to go there. In front of those senior screenwriters, he has too little experience and will not have any say. Instead of doing this, it is better to participate in a project alone, although this project is not as good as "Chief Jin".
"There are 3 projects here. Look at it. If you are interested, you can choose one." He Miao said at the end.
From this perspective, He Miao attaches great importance to him and takes out three projects for him to choose. But it also means that the film and television department is really not as good as the animation department. Although there are fewer projects, there are fewer people.
In the animation department, Zhang Tan had to participate in an adaptation of the comic "Lanner" and he had to compete with several people.
Zhang Tan took the information he brought and carefully browsed the items introduced above.
These are projects that have not been established yet, but they are just interested.
The first one is a movie project. Zhang Tan was excited and then became a big movie!
He couldn't help but look carefully at the project introduction. The more he read, the more something was wrong. What was this? The story summary was completely a vulgar story about you love me and I love you.
He couldn't help but ask: "Where did this story summary of "Love in Fire" come from?"
He Miao felt a little embarrassed when he heard this name, as if he was embarrassed to say it, but since Zhang Tan asked, he still endured the disgust and said, "This is provided by the investor."
He said it very briefly and did not make it clear, because if you continue, it means bad things about the investor. If you just came into contact with Zhang Tan, you should not say this to avoid leaving a bad impression. If the other senior screenwriters on the other side were sitting in the department, he would have complained a lot, but in fact he has complained a lot about this project.
He said little, thinking that it was a newcomer who didn’t understand, but in fact, Zhang Tan understood it as soon as he heard it. This is the summary of the story written by investors!
He has been in contact with such investors before. They are rich and leisurely, and are also arrogant and have artistic corporations. After not pursuing material needs, they pursue spiritual needs and throw the thoughts in their hearts to the screenwriter, so that the screenwriter can write a script around, and swear to ensure that the money will not be less and that they can invest in filming.
For example, Zhang Tan had a real experience once. At that time, he was already well-known. An investor came to him and said that the Anti-Japanese War films are now popular and wanted to make an Anti-Japanese War film and ask him to write a script.
Zhang Tan asked which anti-Japanese war movie was in question. The other party thought for a while before saying, "It's a sniper, it's cool."
Seeing that this man was thinking about these things just now, Zhang Tan was worried that he would fly all over the sky, so he quickly asked him what other ideas and requests he had and said it at once.
"Young people's War of Resistance is so common. We are very special. I am optimistic about the War of Resistance for the elderly." The other party said.
Zhang Tan thought, it's okay, set the protagonist as an old hunter, when a friend comes, there is rice wine, when an enemy comes, there is a hunting rifle, one shot, one wolf, no, one Japanese!
The boss said that hunters are too common, not special, cool, and have special identities.
You come, come, give you a pen! When you come, Zhang Tan didn’t give any suggestions, let the boss think about it by himself, but he really thought about it, scientist!
This guy made the old man a scientist, and he was a weapon expert, a very awesome and even more awesome. He turned out to be Qian Xuesen's junior brother!!!
Zhang Tan finally spoke. This was offending the country's merits and could not be used.
OK, then let’s change it. It’s the same school as Qian Xuesen, and it’s just two levels lower. This is OK, not explicitly or implied.
Because of the substantial amount of money given, Zhang Tan felt serious and disgusted. He wrote the story outline and the biography of the characters. He didn't dare to write it down any further. He showed it to the boss first. If he didn't agree, it would be useless to write it.
After reading it, the boss said he took it back and thought about it. After two days, he called and said he would show it to an old screenwriter. He felt that there was less conflict and was not cruel enough. He suggested joining the country and family hatred, such as the daughter was harmed by the Japanese.
Zhang Tan thought you were so fucked. For the sake of money, I continued to write it. After several revisions, I finally wrote it out. After handing over the script, I received the money, and disappeared quickly. I never wanted to see the boss again. I thought the script would definitely be a waste, but I didn't expect that I received a call from the boss a year later and asked Zhang Tan if he had time to work with the team.
Zhang Tan was so scared that he didn't follow the group, but after filming started, he was completely convinced. The starring actor was an old actor, quite famous, Wang Xuexin.
What made him even more promising was that the drama was actually aired later.
The name of this anti-Japanese drama is "Grandpa's Anti-Japanese War".
He Miao's simple words made Zhang Tan think a lot, and he avoided such projects like snakes and scorpions, for fear of getting involved.
For such projects, the screenwriter is a tool guy and needs to listen to investors. The key is that these people don’t understand at all and like to direct blindly.
He watched the second project, which was a studio's homemade project, a suspense drama, and then watched the third one, a child acting in a big drama?
...
"How is it? Are there any one you'll choose?" He Miao had already finished drinking a cup of tea. He poured another cup for Zhang Tan, boiled water again in the purple clay pot, and the tea fragrance was everywhere.
Zhang Tan put down the information and said, "I want to choose the third one."
"The third one? This one who plays a big drama?" He Miao was a little surprised. He thought that Zhang Tan would definitely choose the second one. Perhaps the first one was also possible. If he chose the first one, he would explain it to Zhang Tan a little more clearly and make him more cautious, but the third one?? The child's?
Zhang Tan said firmly: "Minister He, I will choose the third one. Children will act in big dramas. I think this project is feasible and I want to try it."
He Miao thought that the positioning of this drama is a child. Because the animation produced by the studio is the main audience of children. Anime can be made soar, why can’t live-action films and TV shows be? So he wondered if he could invite some children to act in big dramas? This is also the traditional advantage of our studio, which is inherited from the same lineage. We do not have enough confidence in film and television, but we are still very confident in children’s film and television.
Zhang Tan also thought, isn’t this the little drama boy in his previous life when he was acting in a big drama?! I found some children to act in traditional dramas, such as "Dream of the Red Chamber" and "The Legend of the White Snake". The cute kids are cute, with good ratings, and the social response is very enthusiastic, not worse than ordinary popular dramas.
He Miao thought about it. Since Zhang Tan took the initiative to choose a child to act in a big drama and he chose it for him, let him do it. The investment is not big. Self-made dramas are just right for newcomers and can also see his abilities. However, some things need to be said in the front.
"This project has not been established yet. Whether it can be established depends on the project planning." He Miao said.
Zhang Tan asked: "Have the producer and director decided? I'll talk to them."
"Not decided, now I have only decided on the screenwriter, you are the only one."
“…”
Zhang Tan was not hit, and the producer and director were not sure, so he went to find it himself. Although the project was not a single word, fortunately, he had enough voice in this project and was suitable for newcomers like him.
Chapter completed!
