Chapter 704: Script Thunder

~15 min read 2,839 words

Jin Li didn't make any reaction.

The makeup artist didn't care after complaining. Anyway, she had complained for so long, and Jin Li didn't respond.

So she continued: "Actually, people inside us don't care whether he is an illegitimate son or whether he really has a blood relationship with that chairman. As long as you have the ability to hold it, then you can go up.

Other people have ability, but no connections. Now connections are also a kind of strength, right?

But this Photographer Chen has ability, but he is too dawdling. He has to dawdle for a long time before he can hold back a good-looking photo.

This led to the shooting progress within the company being greatly delayed in the past month, and several stars have been losing their temper."

Speaking of this, the makeup artist specifically looked at Jin Li and said in a low voice:

"I also thought you would lose your temper, but your personality is really good. You weren't angry even after being delayed for such a long time."

Jin Li smiled again.

It's not that her personality is good, but that she has more time than other stars, so she can afford to be delayed.

If her schedule was also very full, then the shooting progress of Nianhua these past few days would be far from meeting her requirements.

During the conversation, another makeup and styling artist walked in. This was to help Jin Li change clothes and do styling.

The makeup artist immediately stopped talking and worked wholeheartedly.

After waiting for more than two hours, Jin Li's makeup and styling were finally done, and Sui Lingfang also brought the latest news.

"I told them, only give them a two-day delay. If they can't finish in four days, then it can only be the weekend schedule after you start school.

Although you only start school in September, Nianhua clearly wants to make some moves in the October big magazine this year, so everything is hoped to be completed as soon as possible.

They agreed to our requirements and will finish shooting the remaining clothes within four days."

Sister Fang finished what the editor-in-chief told her, shrugged her shoulders, and expressed her insight:

"Anyway, I have already brought the words. What they want to do is their business. Even if they can't finish in 4 days, then it can only be the weekend schedule after you start school.

I also told them in advance that if it can't be finished, and it is delayed to the weekend in September, don't blame us for not being affectionate.

Your school leave is so hard to ask for, unless they come to the door themselves and ask for leave from your school professor, otherwise I will not help them and let you ask for leave."

Now that it has come to this, Sui Lingfang is also open-minded.

What is called the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry?

Since Nianhua is not in a hurry at all, they don't have to be in a hurry.

They may have forgotten that Jin Li is a top star with a busy schedule.

She doesn't have all the time to spare to cooperate with Nianhua's shooting.

Even if Jin Li has reduced a lot of announcements compared to other artists, it doesn't mean that the announcement provider can occupy her time.

The fewer stars who appear, the more valuable the announcements are.

Jin Li listened to her finish, and happened to have staff find her, saying that the venue was ready and the shooting was about to begin.

She was wearing a dignified and luxurious Hanfu, with a beautiful skirt and layers of layers sweeping across the ground.

It was dignified and atmospheric.

Jin Li didn't comment on the news brought by Sister Fang.

Whether Nianhua listened to it, she could perceive it from the other party's shooting.

And while Jin Li was busy shooting the September big cover for Nianhua.

One Billion Media also experienced a wave of internal investigations.

The contact person learned about the original work from Sui Lingfang and personally asked the screenwriter. As a result, the three screenwriters in the company all said with certainty:

"It's definitely not a secondary creation. We haven't read the original work at all. The things we compiled are all thought of by ourselves!"

The screenwriter's certain appearance made the contact person almost believe it!

Fortunately, just before he impulsively wanted to call back to Morning Dawn Entertainment and guarantee again that the script was all original, for the sake of caution, he went to watch the original movie "The Invisible Guest" mentioned by Sui Lingfang.

Finally, the hanging heart died completely.

He had read the screenwriter's script and knew the general plot inside.

Even though half a month had passed, he still remembered the plot in the script very clearly.

And the "The Invisible Guest" he had just finished watching, he was even more impressed.

It was precisely because he finished watching this movie that he understood why Morning Dawn Entertainment said that their script was so similar to this movie.

Although the plot is not exactly the same, it is obvious that the framework of others was used to modify it.

It's just changing the identity of the protagonist, and then changing a worldview.

But the thoughts and core conveyed by the script are the same as the thoughts the movie wants to convey.

This degree of collision, saying it is an original script, is really far-fetched.

The screenwriter must have watched this movie, which inspired him to create this script.

Then, the problem comes.

Even he, who is not the screenwriter himself, can feel that it is very similar. How could the screenwriter not know?

Unless even the screenwriter can't understand their script...

Then there is another problem here.

That is, the script was not created by their screenwriter at all!

But the screenwriter bought it through some channel!

Only in this way can they feel that the plot design in the script is wonderful without knowing the original work, and be willing to pay for it.

The contact person thought of this and couldn't sit still immediately.

I didn't expect that just a script would involve the company's internal corruption and not doing practical things!

He just said, no wonder this group of screenwriters sometimes produces scripts that are good and bad, and the level of each script is uneven.

Sometimes they can hand in better scripts in the last quarter, and they will immediately collapse in the next quarter, which doesn't look like the level of a screenwriter at all.

If these scripts are all bought, not thought of by the screenwriter, this can be explained clearly.

The quality of the scripts they submit depends on the quality of the scripts they acquire during that period!

The contact person immediately told the guess to the senior management, who were furious and immediately launched an internal investigation.

Jin Li and Sui Lingfang also didn't expect that because of their questioning, One Billion Media actually found out the pus in the company!

And during the period of One Billion Media's self-examination, Jin Li was also shooting the cover for Nianhua.

This time, Nianhua did what they said.

They didn't replace Photographer Chen, but added two more photographers, which meant there were three photographers shooting Jin Li.

Looking at it this way, it seems that Jin Li's pressure will be greater.

Because the style of each photographer is different, and the feeling they want the actor to present is also different.

This means that every time Jin Li changes into a new set of clothing, she has to work hard to satisfy the needs of every photographer, constantly switching expressions and actions.

But this is exactly what Jin Li is best at.

Like acting, the more requirements the photographer has, the easier it is for her to enter the field of being like a fish in water.

Plus, even if two photographers were added, her daily working hours were according to the contract, and she wouldn't extend it.

So although the number of photographers increased, the time she could shoot for each photographer every day was the same.

This led to the fact that the time each photographer could shoot Jin Li was not long, and the time was strictly stipulated.

After shooting for ten minutes for this photographer, shoot for ten minutes for that photographer, and then shoot for ten minutes for another photographer...

Photographer Chen could no longer fully occupy Jin Li's shooting time, and with the addition of two more photographers, Nianhua's efficiency also ran fast.

If Photographer Chen didn't take the photos he was satisfied with, it didn't matter; it was fine if the other two photographers took photos with feeling.

Under the mutual rolling of the three photographers, Jin Li could rarely change into two sets of makeup and styling a day.

And in the last day of the delay, Nianhua pulled the efficiency to the full, letting Jin Li change into three sets of makeup and styling a day!

However, the last set of makeup and styling occupied more shooting time when shooting, and Jin Li worked overtime for two hours.

But it doesn't matter, Nianhua will pay the overtime.

At this point, Nianhua caught up with the tail of August and finally finished shooting the photos for October.

Sui Lingfang came to pick up Jin Li to the apartment in the evening when it ended and took her back to rest directly.

She sighed: "Sure enough, people still have to be forced to test their potential, and so does the company.

If we don't force it, who would have thought that the dawdling Nianhua could become so efficient!

If I had known they had such good efficiency, I shouldn't have been dragged by them for three days at the beginning. I should have made demands from the 1st day, so you could have more time to run other announcements."

Jin Li was removing her makeup in the car.

She changed her clothes and hairstyle after shooting, and didn't remove her makeup there, but went back to remove it.

After removing her makeup, she said: "After all, it's the first time cooperating with Nianhua, and we don't know their style.

If there is a chance to cooperate again in the future, then we can make demands."

She thought of something and asked: "By the way, is there any news from One Billion Media?"

Sui Lingfang shook her head: "No, after I talked to the contact person last time, his attitude was quite good, saying that he would check it first.

Then there has been no news. I suspect that eight or nine out of ten this script is adapted from the movie you mentioned. They are probably busy buying copyright to clean up the mess.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be no news, especially since this is a script you value, and they treat it as a big project to produce internally."

Jin Li nodded: "Notify me as soon as there is any news."

She thought for a while and said: "The script of 'Dawn 2' has been changing. There was some news in the first half of the year, but now there is no sound at all. I don't know if it is still changing or in the final adjustment.

Originally, my winter vacation schedule was reserved for 'Dawn 2,' but their script has been slow to come out. I'm afraid it won't be able to use my winter vacation schedule. I want to reserve the schedule for One Billion Media's TV series."

Sui Lingfang hesitated: "What if the problem with One Billion Media's script still hasn't been solved?"

Jin Li smiled: "Then wait and see. I will start school in a few days, and there are still several months before winter vacation. Maybe I can receive a script I am more satisfied with during this period?

At worst, I will temporarily not film, rest for a while, quietly wait for the script, and then enter the crew next summer."

"Sister Fang, opportunity is left to those who are prepared. I don't think there is a shortage of good scripts in the circle. Maybe they will pop out in a certain period of time. What we need is patience."

Sui Lingfang thought for a while and suddenly smiled.

"Well, not filming also has the benefits of not filming. Many brand activities are waiting for you to participate, as well as shooting brand-new endorsements.

Several brands are urging me to let you vacate your schedule to change their commercials.

But you have been busy, and recently you have been busy shooting top magazine covers. Things also have priorities. I can only say sorry to other brands.

If you don't film next year, those brands that are hungry and thirsty will probably be crazy with joy.

Besides that, there are many joint product cooperations. There are really too many good products. The brands are very sincere and take out the products they push heavily in the season to cooperate with you. I have always wanted to talk to you about products..."

Don't look at Jin Li not participating in variety shows, basically just joining the crew to film, it seems very leisurely.

But first-line stars cannot be leisurely, let alone popular stars like Jin Li.

Without variety shows, without the crew, there are various brand activities, endorsement activities, and the brand's online and offline promotion.

If the movies Jin Li has shot before are promoted overseas, she also needs to go to sit in town.

Not to mention other public welfare publicity, cultural tourism cultural communication publicity, cooperation with local various anti-fraud, intangible cultural heritage publicity, etc.

A popular star is too easy to fill his schedule.

And just the day before Jin Li was about to start school, Sui Lingfang finally received a reply from One Billion Media.

The contact person asked with great deliberation: "We have other very good scripts. Would you like to take a look at them, pick a few more, and then we will make a comparison?"

Sui Lingfang raised her eyebrows when she heard this and was happy.

"Don't speak secret words in front of people, President Yang, I will just ask directly, is there a problem inside you?"

President Yang subconsciously denied three times: "No, it's not, it's impossible."

Sui Lingfang: "If there is no problem inside you, then you wouldn't think that 'The Invisible Secret' has no potential, you wouldn't want to shoot, and you wouldn't find an excuse for us to look at other scripts."

President Yang: ...

Sui Lingfang: "You might as well say directly, what hidden dangers does this script have that makes you not want to shoot.

Since it could be handed to us at the beginning, it means that you are also optimistic about this book and think it can explode."

President Yang hesitated for a while and sighed: "This script is not ours."

Sui Lingfang frowned, "What do you mean?"

President Yang sighed again, "We checked internally and found out that the script was not written by the company's screenwriters, but bought from a new screenwriter through some channel.

They have already signed a contract, and the ownership of the script belongs to the screenwriters in the company, so to some extent, it can also be said to be the company's script.

Since the contract has been signed, there is no big problem, but the problem lies in the script.

We didn't know it was an adapted script and always thought it was an original script. The person who wrote this script at the beginning didn't explain it.

Now we can't find this person, and we have no reason to find him. After all, the buyout contract is signed, the money and goods are cleared, and it is impossible to return the money."

Even if they also know that this person breached the contract, what they said at the beginning was that it must be an original script and not an adapted script.

But the script trade belongs to the gray area. If you buy it and find that you have been pitted, you can only eat this dumb loss.

One Billion Media is a big company after all, and it needs some face, so it won't really care about so much.

And these bought scripts are not high in price, and they can only deceive newcomers.

After Sui Lingfang finished listening to him, she suddenly asked a question:

"Since this script has been bought by your screenwriters, that is, the commercial copyright of the script has been taken away, then the script belongs to your screenwriters.

You only need to find the original author and talk about the adaptation rights to shoot this drama. Why don't you take the adaptation rights?"

She paused and asked suspiciously: "Or is it that your screenwriters don't have the confidence to make secondary adaptations of this drama?"
