The reason why Hollywood movies can conquer the world is not only the dazzling special effects, but also a group of people who have also made great efforts. It can be said that without them, there would be no success in Hollywood.

They are talented screenwriters.

Unlike Xiangguan, which does not pay much attention to screenwriters, screenwriters have a high status in Qiang country and their income is also very considerable.

Last year, the average income of members of the Western Writers Guild was 47,000 US dollars. This income is already very high today. Moreover, this is still an "average" figure. The high-income earners are evenly divided by the low-income earners.

In the words of later generations, most screenwriters are flexible employees. Their working methods are very flexible. They can work for a day if they want to, and just lie down if they don't want to. This kind of lifestyle may be a little poorer, but it is better than freedom.

What to say - if it is for freedom, both can be thrown away.

Now that you have freedom, what more do you need a bicycle?

Screenwriters are also an industry where everyone at the bottom can make ends meet, but before they become famous, their lives are often very difficult.

After working so hard to write a script, you can only sell it for a few hundred dollars, maybe even tens of dollars.

Hollywood film companies are not stupid. They have dedicated people who are responsible for scanning scripts in the screenwriters' library of the Screenwriters Guild. If they see a script that is interesting, they will spend money to buy it to enrich their company's screenwriter library.

If the script is bought back by them, it may just eat dust in the warehouse and never be made into a movie; it is also possible that the wonderful scenes will be extracted separately and integrated into other scripts to piece together a new script.

Of course, this is talking about the screenwriter.

As for those big screenwriters who write scripts for movies produced by big film companies, they can get hundreds of thousands of dollars, or even millions of dollars, in commissions and take out dividends.

The difference between a street screenwriter and a great screenwriter is whether the script he wrote has been made into a popular movie.

If the script is made into a successful movie, the street screenwriter will become a great screenwriter, and he will get rid of a career where a script can only be sold for a few dozen yuan, and successfully enter the 100,000 yuan club.

And what is the most important thing for a movie to be successful?

Of course it’s a shoot!

Just like coming out to hang out, the most important thing is of course "coming out". If you don't come out, you're still messing around.

For a screenwriter, if you want to be successful and get a high position, the most important thing is that the script must be made into a movie. If it is not made, who will know who you are?

In Guo Guo, the Screenwriters Association is very powerful and can completely protect the interests of screenwriters. Anyone who wants to be a screenwriter is willing to join the Screenwriters Association.

You must know that the Screenwriters Guild doesn't just charge membership fees, they really stand up for screenwriters.

If the screenwriter's interests are harmed, as the screenwriter's mother-in-law, they will immediately unite to seek justice for the screenwriter; if the screenwriter feels that the price offered by the film company is low, that's okay, the Screenwriters Association has negotiators who will come forward to negotiate for the screenwriter.

What? Film companies unite to lower prices? Then what are you waiting for? Go on strike, go on strike immediately, to increase our income.

The Guangguo Screenwriters Association has a history of many strikes. Every time a strike occurred, the salary was increased. Even later, the income of screenwriters was comparable to that of directors and actors.

The actors here are not ordinary actors, at least they must be at the level of the 5 million club.

It can be said that the Guoguo Screenwriters Association is an industry association for film and television screenwriters and creators. It is a trade union in the industry and has independent legal personality. It can negotiate and sign contracts with employers on behalf of its members, and it is legally binding on its members.

The association fights for the rights and interests of its members and protects their interests. Regardless of salary or copyright disputes, all screenwriters who join the association will receive legal assistance from the association.

The association has detailed regulations on everything from minimum wages to travel benefits. More importantly, the Guoguo Screenwriters Association uses voting to select personnel to negotiate with film and television production companies to strive for the greatest interests of the association members.

It is the role of the Kangguo Screenwriters Association that makes Hollywood movies everlasting.

On the contrary to Hong Kong, Hong Kong does not pay much attention to the screenwriting industry and considers this industry to be dispensable. Flying notes are the characteristics of Hong Kong movies.

In Hong Kong, famous screenwriters often fall into poverty and die in poverty.

If nothing else, during the golden decade of Hong Kong films, the film industry took this opportunity to speed up the pace of formalization and organization - the Hong Kong Film Industry Association, the Hong Kong Film Directors Association, the Hong Kong Performing Arts Association, and the Hong Kong Film Association.

The Professional Cinematographers Association has been established one after another, but the Film Writers Association is missing.

The Screenwriters Association has never been established. A closer look at the reason is that it has a lot to do with the low status of screenwriters in the Hong Kong film circle. The main reason for this situation is because people in the Hong Kong film circle think that screenwriters are

The industry threshold is not high.

Under the unique film industry system of Xianghuan, it is easy to become a screenwriter. Even Zeng Jiaolan, a former dragon and tiger martial artist, has written several blockbuster scripts.

Precisely because the threshold is not high, screenwriters have not been taken seriously in the Hong Kong film industry for a long time. However, in the years when Hong Kong movies were booming, kung fu movies were very popular. No matter how good the screenwriter was, he could only work for kung fu stars and martial arts directors.

The person comes up with the story concept, and the screenwriter is responsible for Du Qiao writing the script.

The screenwriters in Xianghuan are roughly divided into two types. The most common ones are like a director's think tank. The director or producer comes up with an idea and then finds a group of screenwriters to collectively write a story and write a script.

Well, it's a bit similar to Gunslinger Inc.

The other category is called the drama master. This is a small group of the top screenwriters. They enjoy almost the same power as the director and can come up with complete story ideas and have "ideological guidance" for a movie.

Contribution, there is another title for such people - gold medal screenwriters.

However, most of the screenwriters who were able to become gold screenwriters in Hong Kong changed careers and became directors. This is also the reason why Hong Kong’s screenwriting talents have always been in short supply.

Although there are many classics in Hong Kong's films, most of them are just follow-up films that lack content. Even during the glorious period of Hong Kong films in the following years, the vast majority of bad films were still produced.

Xiangguan movies are inherently abnormal. There are many reasons for their success, but the most fundamental reason for their decline is the incomplete foundation. Screenwriters like those in Hollywood can be said to be an important part of a movie. There is no good screenwriter.

, there is no such thing as a good movie.

In Xiangguan, screenwriting is basically equivalent to doing odd jobs, or filling in vacancies, and does not have much status at all.

If the innate foundation is not good, how can it be possible to achieve long-term glory?

The lack of professional screenwriting talents has also resulted in the lack of content in Xianghuan movies. In the eyes of European and American audiences, Xianghuan movies can be said to have always had irregular content, plots and even inconsistencies.

Even the gangster movie "A Better Tomorrow", praised by Hong Kong filmmakers as a classic, is full of loopholes in the eyes of European and American audiences and is not worthy of scrutiny.

The couple doesn’t take copyright seriously either. Your “Best Partner” is a hit. If I change my name and make similar movies to yours, what can you do to me?

The key and most disgusting thing is that the leading actors may be the same people. The audience doesn't care which company the film is produced by. They only recognize the actors.

"Wow, Liu Yingjun's movie must be good to watch..."

As long as you like a star, even if his acting skills are not up to standard, you will still think that this is a unique acting characteristic of that person.

A certain pair of electric eyes has been used for decades, but many people say that there are tricks in his eyes.

There is a der in the drama, but he has been playing himself for decades. He has never entered a role. No matter what role he plays, he still has the same style. He plays "a gangster played by so-and-so" and "a big guy played by so-and-so".

"Xia", not some gangster or some hero.

However, Nan Yi feels that his dedication is still worthy of recognition. He never borrows his place or resorts to fraud in sex scenes, making him a role model for our generation.

If you go too far, pull it back.

When planning to make a movie in Guangzhou, you must first pass the script certification to prove that the content of your story is not plagiarized or crashed.

The content of your script must be something that no one else has registered. If someone else has registered it, even if your script is much better than the registered script, it will have more explosion scenes, more plot progression, and a completely different lens language.

, nor can it pass the certification.

A script that has not been certified cannot be made into a movie.

Because of this, even if Nan Yi can't recall the complete content of a movie, it doesn't matter. Just like this "Jurassic Park", after Nan Yi read the script of the screenwriters, this idea has been very clear, piece it together

You can definitely come up with a script that's not bad from the original version.

Only this pieced together script will be made into a movie, but the other scripts will be registered with the Screenwriters Guild in the name of sequels, and not only this batch, Nanyi will also find a new batch of screenwriters to order a batch of "dinosaurs"

's script.

After searching for a batch, search for another batch until the repetition rate of scripts is very high and no new scripts appear.

I wrote all the plots related to dinosaurs, registered them all, and directly created a script barrier to see who can make dinosaur movies and compete for jobs.

Movies like "Jurassic Park" not only have the chance to achieve high box office, but its peripheral products and surrounding economy are so powerful that before the movie is released, the construction of a dinosaur theme park must be completed.

If Nanyi cannot generate more than 10 billion US dollars in revenue from "Jurassic Park", it will be a failure.

The gunman's office hadn't been set up yet, so Nan Yi could only summon the screenwriters to a movie theater under the AMC Theaters chain in Hollywood.

There were fewer people watching the ten o'clock show in the morning, and there were no good movies released recently, so the cinema's business was very slow. Nanyi negotiated with the cinema and booked a theater with a 40% discount on the ticket price.

Two hours of time.

When everyone arrived, Nan Yi walked to the edge of the screen, leaned in front of the microphone and said: "Fellow screenwriters, hello everyone, first of all, let me introduce myself. My name is Adam Nan, I am the manager of Gunner Company, and I also

To those who provide logistics services to you.

Today we are holding the first meeting of Gunner Company, which is to let everyone get to know each other. We usually write at home, and most of you may have never met your colleagues. After the meeting, we will have a dinner together.

Everyone can communicate well.

Aha, Allen, there is no need to rush to communicate now, there will be time for you to get to know each other later."

While Nan Yi was talking, Alan Ball had already greeted a female screenwriter next to him. When necessary, remembering the names and looks of all the employees under him is an essential skill for a manager.

This will make employees feel that they are valued, and the big boss who is several floors away actually knows their name, which will naturally give them a sense of belonging to the company.

Nan Yi has memorized the information of each screenwriter carefully in the past two days, just so that he can blurt out everyone's name inadvertently.

"Sofia, when you listen to me, be a little more serious and take the lollipop away from your mouth first." Nan Yi nodded again at Sofia Coppola. He originally thought that this little girl would be absent.

, I didn’t expect it to come.

Sofia Coppola shrugged and took the lollipop out of her mouth.

"Okay, let me continue. Let me introduce the Gunslinger Company to everyone." Nan Yi loosened his tie to look more casual, "The Gunslinger Company has just registered not long ago. It turns out that everyone was entertained by the red sofa.

You were recruited in name only, but from now on, you are affiliated with the Gunner Company.

As for the relationship between Gunslinger Company and Red Sofa Entertainment, maybe it just doesn't matter.

Red Sofa Entertainment was jointly founded by several shareholders of Pan American Holdings, and everyone should know about its previous acquisition of 20th Century Fox.

It was these shareholders who suddenly came up with the idea to establish Gunner Company and make everyone independent. From now on, we will be responsible for our own profits and losses. Our scripts do not necessarily have to be sold to Red Sofa, but can also be sold to other companies.

In this way, we have gained a certain degree of freedom and independence, but we have also lost some protection. If we are still affiliated with Red Sofa, even if we write shit, they will still have to foot the bill."

Hahaha!

Nan Yi's words made everyone burst into laughter.

"Everyone here is basically a newcomer to the screenwriting industry, and they all dream of becoming a big screenwriter one day. Joining Gunners Company may be a helpless move for you. After all, before you become a big screenwriter and earn a lot of dollars, you
Chapter completed!
