Chapter 681: Sexual relationships of people in the entertainment industry

Lu Yan He's speed of writing scripts is jaw-dropping.

If Lu Yan He hadn't maintained this speed of creation from the very beginning of writing scripts, and had always been an independent screenwriter without joint signatures with others, everyone would definitely suspect that Lu Yan He had a ghostwriter behind him.

However, the job of a screenwriter is not something you can do just because you have a ghostwriter.

Which screenwriter can guarantee that their script will succeed every time? Even the best screenwriter can't, let alone a screenwriter who is a ghostwriter for others.

Lu Yan He has not succeeded once or twice. Of course, the most important thing is that his identity as a graduate of the Chinese Department of Zhenhua University makes everyone subconsciously think that he has this ability and talent, and does not need to find a ghostwriter.

Some screenwriters even sighed: "Lu Yan He's speed of creation feels like it can force all of us professional screenwriters to death."

Generally speaking, a series screenwriter can write one work a year, which is amazing. A film screenwriter can write two to three—actually entering the development stage might be one.

Immediately, someone stood up to explain for Lu Yan He.

Lu Yan He's speed of creation is not fast, but he doesn't need to repeat rework like ordinary screenwriters, and the works created never have to worry about "no one likes it" or "cannot be developed."

Indeed, professional film screenwriters basically create two to three scripts a year.

This is not a difficult thing. The difficulty is actual development.

I don't know if it's the training of the two projects "2 Broke Girls" and "Roommates," or some other reason, during the broadcast of the second season of "Friends," several sitcom screenwriters signed by Linghe all took out the single-episode scripts they wrote, wanting the company to evaluate whether they could continue writing.

In order to encourage screenwriters in the company to create good scripts, the company has always opened the door to accept manuscripts for signed screenwriters.

Just one episode of the script can be evaluated. If it is a good story, the company feels the potential for development, it will buy it directly, prepay the manuscript fee, and invite them to continue writing the next three episodes of the script. After the next three episodes of the script pass, they will continue to write down, basically starting the "renewal" mode from the script stage.

It's just that the person who decides to renew is not the audience, but the person in charge of reviewing the script in the company.

This mode actually has a great risk for the company. Because if the complete script cannot be produced in the end, the few episodes bought in front are actually bought in vain. Of course, Lu Yan He doesn't think it's bought in vain, because good scripts can be polished slowly. If the original screenwriter really can't continue writing, they can also change to another screenwriter to write. For sitcoms, there are generally many episode screenwriters, which is also a common phenomenon.

The key is that this cost is actually not high.

Linghe doesn't say that it is very generous in giving money to these unknown young screenwriters, but it is definitely not a loss. For this kind of single-episode script, it is generally 10,000 yuan per episode. If a complete script can be successfully completed, a one-time completion reward of 10,000 yuan per episode will be given. At the same time, if it is successfully filmed and broadcast, the screenwriter will also enjoy a 5% revenue share.

This last clause, whether it is a newcomer or a mature screenwriter who has written scripts, is enjoyed the same way.

Lu Yan He still has that concept: if there is money, everyone makes it together, and everyone will always be a family.

Whether it is Hu Siwei or Chen Yin, there has been a long time when they were not used to Lu Yan He's concept.

Whether it is Beijing TV or other production companies, to some extent, they are extremely "market-oriented." If they can give less money, they won't give more. Everyone has accepted that "the company is to make money," and "capital" is "self-interested."

The place where Hu Siwei and Chen Yin cannot accept is that even if this 5% is not given, the conditions given by Linghe are already the conscience price in the industry, which can attract a large number of talented screenwriters to come, but Linghe still wants to give it actively, just like Lu Yan He actively wants to give Liu Teli a box office bonus.

Lu Yan He doesn't know what to say.

Probably because he is a screenwriter and an actor himself, he sincerely believes that the script is the beginning of everything. A good script can even suppress the actor's salary—those powerful actors are not fools either. When they encounter a script that can take their career to the next level, what is it to receive less salary.

More importantly, Lu Yan He feels that only by doing this can he tell the industry with practical actions that the importance of good screenwriters and good scripts is by no means just talking about it.

"If we can force other companies in the industry to improve the treatment of screenwriters in this way, it is also a good thing," Lu Yan He said. "Look at the actors around me, most of them are famous and have status, but they still can't get good scripts and can't find the roles they want to play. Why? Because the bad ecology of this industry makes talented and capable new screenwriters unable to come out. They are squeezed, manipulated, and don't even have the opportunity to prove themselves."

Chen Siqi said: "I understand this. Jump Up Theater has done it to this day, and I can be considered to have seen how many screenwriters were frustrated before. Do you know how we choose screenwriters for Jump Up Theater now?"

"Don't know." Lu Yan He shook his head.

Chen Siqi: "Comparing manuscripts, because the scripts of Jump Up Theater are adapted from our novels, we will compare manuscripts, let every screenwriter who participates in the comparison write three scenes, the word count doesn't need to be much, 1,000 words is enough. As a result, a lot of high-quality and potential young screenwriters were compared."

Lu Yan He asked in surprise: "Are you all starting to compare manuscripts now?"

"More than comparing manuscripts, we are now starting to sign screenwriters," Chen Siqi said. "Many screenwriters of Jump Up Theater were spotted by other film and television companies after their shows were broadcast. We now represent more than 20 screenwriters, helping them screen projects and take projects."

Lu Yan He was shocked.

He never thought that Chen Ziyan would actually do this with "Jump Up."

Chen Siqi said: "Really, it can be said that the creators under our Jump Up are definitely a huge force. There are already 134 signed writers, 26 signed screenwriters, and many content-oriented self-media bloggers have been signed. Li Bi told me two days ago that he wants to set up a company specializing in video bloggers. Now the whole video content piece is being done by him."

Lu Yan He: "Damn, you are really going to make this a media empire."

Chen Siqi: "Didn't expect it?"

"Didn't expect it." Lu Yan He shook his head.

Chen Siqi: "A private equity fund contacted us, wanting to invest in us to build a content community platform, but I refused for the time being."

"Refused?"

"Hmm," Chen Siqi nodded. "Accumulation is not enough. The reason why we can do so well in Jump Up now, besides the content being strong enough, is another reason, that is, we have cooperation with top enterprises and platforms in various fields, and we borrow a lot of strength. If we do a comprehensive platform ourselves, others will not be our partners, but will become competitors."

Lu Yan He understood.

Chen Siqi: "Another point, maybe influenced by you, I don't want to get involved in these capital games either. No one knows what kind of pit is waiting behind. We are not short of money, and the money we earn is enough. There is nothing to rush."

Lu Yan He: "This can also be influenced by me."

"Isn't it?" Chen Siqi smiled, turned over, rode on Lu Yan He's lap, looked down at him from top to bottom, held his face with both hands, and kissed his mouth.

Lu Yan He hugged up naturally, and then, with a turn, the positions of the two were swapped.

"Why don't you say that I was influenced by you?"

"Going to France again?" Li Zhibai asked Jiang Yuqian in surprise.

Jiang Yuqian nodded.

She was bare-legged, barefoot on the carpet, standing in front of the table, holding a cup and drinking water.

Because she was only wearing a white shirt, in the light, Li Zhibai could clearly see the exquisite and graceful curves of Jiang Yuqian's body. It should have been a picture that made him angry, but it was suppressed by the news that Jiang Yuqian would go out in two hours.

Jiang Yuqian turned around, her buttocks against the edge of the table, and gave Li Zhibai an apologetic smile.

"Temporarily notified me that there was a problem with the magazine cover candidate, and I need to be invited to help save the scene," she said. "Before, this magazine gave me help when I needed it, and I have to return this favor."

Li Zhibai said dissatisfiedly: "We finally managed to get this day of rest."

Jiang Yuqian put down the water cup and acted like a spoiled child to Li Zhibai with a delicate and soft side that she had never shown in front of others: "This time is really a special situation, it won't happen again in the future."

Things have come to this, Li Zhibai couldn't stop her from going.

It's just that the mood is very bad.

Jiang Yuqian saw Li Zhibai's face and knew he was unhappy.

She called Li Zhibai.

Li Zhibai turned his head to look out the window and ignored her.

She said: "Are you not going to be angry and have a cold war with me?"

Li Zhibai: "... Can't I even be angry?"

Jiang Yuqian's voice added a bit of laziness and charm: "We only have two hours left, are you sure you want to waste time on being angry?"

Li Zhibai turned his head a bit uncomfortably, wanting to talk to Jiang Yuqian properly about why he was angry.

As a result, his eyes paused—

Jiang Yuqian had actually taken off the white shirt she was wearing, and her fluffy black hair fell on her snow-white skin.

Li Zhibai's angry tone softened uncontrollably.

"You don't talk about martial arts, don't think that I won't be angry like this."

Although so, he sat up.

Jiang Yuqian hooked the corner of her mouth.

"So cold, it must be below zero, right?"

Yan Liang was filming an advertisement outdoors today, still wearing spring clothes, shivering with cold.

The assistant said: "The current temperature is 3 degrees."

"About the same," Yan Liang arched his hands, stretched them in front of his mouth, and exhaled, "Next time I go out for location shooting, I have to bring a hot water bottle."

The assistant nodded and said okay.

He got into the car, thinking that he could be warm for a while, and asked in the group: What are you two doing? No one replied.

He said again: Today I am out for location shooting for an advertisement, frozen numb, I feel it will snow in these few days.

Still no one replied.

Yan Liang frowned in doubt.

Neither of these two people had filming today, why didn't they look at their phones immediately?

Strange.

Yan Liang waited until the director called him to film the next shot, and no one replied in the group.

The next day, Yan Liang saw Lu Yan He at the rehearsal site of "Friends" and asked: "What were you doing yesterday afternoon?"

Lu Yan He: "Nothing, watching a movie at home with Siqi."

"No wonder, didn't reply to messages for a long time," Yan Liang suddenly sighed. "I originally felt that not being in a relationship is nothing, but seeing you like this makes me a little shaken."

"What the hell?" Lu Yan He looked at Yan Liang in surprise.

"Just saying," Yan Liang shook his head. "I still have to struggle and work hard, no time to be in a relationship."

(Content omitted for brevity)

"Being in a relationship doesn't affect your struggle and hard work," Lu Yan He said.

Yan Liang: "I work 300 days out of 365 days a year, and the place I am in every week is different. In this working state, talk about a fart relationship."

Lu Yan He was very curious: "Have you never had a good impression of anyone or moved your heart?"

"There is, but as long as there is no contact later, this feeling slowly fades," Yan Liang said bluntly.

Just as he was talking, Zhan Yun came over.

She smiled at the two of them and said: "What are you two talking about again?"

Yan Liang coughed immediately, "Chatting, how is the next scene? Is it going to be filmed? I'll go take a look."

He turned and left.

Zhan Yun smiled. She looked at Lu Yan He and asked: "Yan He, are you free tonight?"

"Hmm?" Lu Yan He was a little surprised. "Is there anything?"

Didn't answer directly whether he was free or not.

Zhan Yun said: "My boyfriend wants to invite you to dinner. He wants to do some film and television project investment recently and wants to ask for your advice."

Lu Yan He was a little surprised and said: "I don't understand film and television investment either."

Zhan Yun also seemed to feel a bit difficult and apologetic.

Last time Lu Yan He had already declined Yang Zhoujin once, actually already explained his attitude.

Zhan Yun said: "But you definitely understand film and television, he probably thinks so."

A hint of vague pleading appeared on her face.

Lu Yan He sighed slightly.

"Xiaoyun, let me tell you straight, I don't like your boyfriend too much, he and I are not on the same path," Lu Yan He said bluntly, although this sounded sharp and a bit excessive, but ugly words in front are better than being forced later, "Last time he came over, in front of others, he only asked me if I was free and if we could eat together. To be honest, I don't want to evaluate his usual conduct, but the impression he gave me that time was not good."

Zhan Yun was stunned, it seemed that she didn't expect Lu Yan He to say it directly like this.

However, soon, a helpless disappointment also appeared on her face.

"Yes, actually I also told him that he was too impolite that day."

Lu Yan He: "Maybe in the eyes of this kind of rich young master, we people are indeed not worth his effort to show respect."

"He still respects you very much," Zhan Yun explained immediately.

"That's just because I am me," Lu Yan He replied in a flat tone. "He doesn't respect us, actually he also doesn't respect you."

A shadow crossed Zhan Yun's brow.

Lu Yan He, who captured this detail, immediately understood that Zhan Yun must have realized this point herself, but she deliberately ignored it.

"Sorry," Zhan Yun apologized to Lu Yan He and left awkwardly.

Lu Yan He called out "Xiaoyun."

Zhan Yun looked back in confusion.

Lu Yan He said: "He is him, you are you."

Zhan Yun was a little trance-like, probably didn't understand why Lu Yan He suddenly said such a sentence to her.

Lu Yan He said no more, nodded to her, and turned to leave.

The relationship between Lu Yan He and Zhan Yun is a very normal workplace cooperation relationship.

Although he and Zhan Yun have filmed two shows, and the third season of "Friends" is the third cooperation, except for filming and promotion, he has almost no private contact with Zhan Yun.

So, why Zhan Yun likes Yang Jinzhou and how she views the relationship between her and Yang Jinzhou, it is not convenient for Lu Yan He to say more.

After the afternoon scene was filmed, because there were two more scenes for Lu Yan He and Yan Liang to film at night, so, usually they could finish work and leave at this point, but they still had to stay.

Zhan Yun was stunned after knowing that Lu Yan He still had two scenes to film at night.

Obviously Lu Yan He had a legitimate reason to decline her, but he just said such a sentence.

Zhan Yun was a little depressed.

Bai Jin saw it and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you? You don't look very happy."

Zhan Yun shook her head, hesitated, she thought of something, and asked: "Are you free tonight? Do you want to have dinner together?"

Bai Jin was a little confused and asked: "When I asked you this morning, didn't you say you already had an appointment at night?"

"Appointed Zhoujin at night, originally he wanted to invite Yan He to dinner, but Yan He has to film at night, so it can't be done."

Bai Jin shook her head: "That is also a date for the two of you, what kind of light bulb am I going to be."

Zhan Yun hesitated and said: "I want to see what his attitude and reaction are if I bring a friend to eat with him."

Bai Jin was stunned.

"Ah?"

Zhan Yun: "Can I?"

Bai Jin hesitated before saying: "Alright."

Zhan Yun hugged Bai Jin's arm and thanked her softly.

Bai Jin seemed to think of something, and there was a bit more worry in her eyes looking at Zhan Yun.

Of course, she didn't say anything.

On this side, at meal time, Yan Liang and Lu Yan He ate the crew's box lunch together.

Yan Liang asked: "Did you say something to Zhan Yun?"

"What's wrong?"

"When filming in the afternoon, she peeked at you several times," Yan Liang said. "That face of resentment."

"Not necessarily," Lu Yan He said.

"I did some exaggerated processing, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that something must have happened between you two."

"Actually, it's nothing," Lu Yan He told Yan Liang about his conversation with Zhan Yun.

Yan Liang was surprised.

"You are so direct?"

"Declined tactfully once, she pretended not to understand, declined tactfully again, there will be a second and third time in the future," Lu Yan He said. "Too lazy to be troublesome, better to say it clearly once and for all." (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 682 =====
