Chapter 771 Gold Medal Screenwriter
The appearance of Pu Tong's "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old" directly gave the industry a shot of adrenaline. It turns out that a screenwriter can also support a drama...
The director and crew of this drama are unknown, and the film and television company did not invest much money. The two teachers who starred are all newcomers, and several young actors are too immature to carry the banner of this drama.
There are also the costumes, props, scenes and recordings of the whole drama. Because it was filmed on the spot at Huailin Normal University Affiliated High School, the shooting effect is also very average.
When other aspects of the crew are mediocre, the reason why this drama can break through the siege is entirely because of the interesting story and distinctive personality!
Generally, youth campus dramas are about love, misunderstandings, and broken love. Emotions are greater than learning, which naturally makes it difficult for the audience to feel involved.
"The Sky of Eighteen Years Old" is different. Its main line is learning, but the students encounter various problems after being assigned to Class 8 of Grade 3. The existence of the head teacher Gu Yuetao is to help students solve their problems.
In terms of plot, this drama has achieved a dimensionality reduction attack in the current campus drama market. Pu Tong, this is the biggest reason for the success of this drama.
The screenwriter is the foundation of a play, which is the consensus of the film and television industry.
A good screenwriter can portray each story with delicate brushstrokes, precise descriptions, and true emotions, so that these contents can be presented on the big screen.
There will never be a shortage of good actors, because acting skills are very intuitive. Everyone can see whether they can act or are suitable for acting. The lack of screenwriters is not the biggest problem that currently plagues Chinese-language films.
If a good director cannot get a good script, he cannot make good things. If a good actor cannot get a good script, he will have no play to shoot. As the starting point of a play, the screenwriter is the top priority...
In this "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old", Pu Tong's personal ability is brought to the extreme. It is precisely because he does not stick to the routine plot that this drama can attract everyone to watch it after the full episode is broadcast.
If any episode is not good, the audience will directly abandon the show and will not watch the following content...
Every episode of this drama will have new points that can attract everyone to watch it. To be able to do this successfully, the screenwriter's attainments are not ordinary high.
"A Chinese Ghost Story" is the first time that Pu Tong's work has appeared in the public eye. This poignant love story fully demonstrates his talent.
But creation is somewhat accidental. Some creators spend their entire lives writing an excellent work and then completely fade out of the public eye.
The same is true for screenwriters. If a screenwriter wants to be truly called a gold medal screenwriter, he must have at least three successful works.
The first time is luck, the second time is coincidence, and the third time is the embodiment of true strength.
Who would have thought that Pu Tong would come up with three popular scripts in such a short time...
"Never Expected" is his expansion in new themes and new tracks, which is a manifestation of the innovation of a screenwriter.
This short play has become popular, but there are still many people who think that short plays are "odd tricks" and cannot be put on the stage. Pu Tong's achievement is only because he was the first "crab eater".
But "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old" is based on the story itself. This new thing that doesn't play any tricks must bear fruit on the most basic plot.
As soon as this drama came out, those who questioned Pu Tong's ability as a screenwriter shut up instantly. Not only can he play fancy, but he is also good at playing old-fashioned TV dramas!
Obviously, with three national-level works in hand, Pu Tong is not a gold medal screenwriter, who is?
It is quite rare for a screenwriter to be "enshrined as a god", not only because of the problem of creative inspiration, but also partly because of market problems.
In the film and television drama market in recent years, the popular dramas are basically adapted from popular novels and animations. It only needs to do a good job of combing the plot rhythm, and the demand for screenwriters is very low.
Even if a drama is popular, people will only pay attention to the actors and directors, or even the original author of the novel...
Pu Tong's three scripts are not only popular, but more importantly, they are all original scripts, which is the most difficult point.
There are not many gold medal screenwriters in China. Pu Tong is young, but he has already walked the path of many screenwriters for most of their lives.
What's more terrifying is that he has just started this road, but he has publicly stated that he wants to write a costume comedy, and the special theme of "Never Expected" is not included. In other words, Pu Tong now has an unfinished script at hand!
The film and television companies that were waiting and watching suddenly couldn't sit still after seeing "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old". Such a good script can't lose money at all.
Pu Tong's script is absolutely guaranteed to be of quality.
For a while, the phone of Kepu Company was directly blown up. Not only the film and television companies planned to make advance reservations for this new drama, but also the brokerage companies called to promote their own artists.
Being able to play a role in a fine script, even a small role, is a huge help for the acting career of most actors!
There are even many self-employed artists who call to contact them by themselves. After all, opportunities are grasped by themselves. Which artist is willing to sit and wait for death?
From a long-term perspective, this is a good phenomenon and is beneficial to the development of the company, but every time a call comes, Pu Tong will receive a notification, which is somewhat annoying.
Later, he really couldn't stand it, so he let Jiang Yun handle it himself. There is no need to reject others at once. It is also good to build a bridge and connect.
"It's much quieter!"
Pu Tong stared at Yu Wanwan, who was doing homework at the desk, and his mood suddenly improved.
As expected, all these trivial matters in the company should be pushed out. He only needs to guide his girlfriend to study.
Just when he was leisurely planning to check on Yu Wanwan's homework, Jiang Yun's call interrupted the rare moment of peace.
Perhaps Yu Wanwan was too serious about doing the homework, and she didn't notice that her phone was busy, and she was still writing hard.
"Someone is asking for cooperation."
"Didn't you just handle it?"
Pu Tong frowned. Jiang Yun was not so careless. He had a hunch that the content of this call might be different.
"It's different. This person came directly to the door of the company. He was exposed to the sun for a long time. We let him in because we were afraid of something happening!"
Seeking cooperation at the door?
Even these film and television companies and brokerage companies' celebrities and artists just made a phone call. This person actually came in person. This sincerity is indeed awe-inspiring.
Pu Tong was embarrassed to neglect the guests, so he quickly sent a message to Yu Wanwan and went to the company.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a thin man sitting at the desk with a stiff face. Although he was still a little unkempt in the details, it was obvious that he had made a lot of careful preparations for this meeting...
But what surprised Pu Tong was that this man did not come after watching "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old".
He wanted to seek cooperation for "Never Expected".
