Chapter 891 Reuse of Abandoned Scripts

"Besides, Korea treats writers in such general terms. Script writers, novel authors, and cartoonists are all called writers. The bar is too low and they are just like trainees."

At this point, Li Xianzhe's tone paused slightly, "And I don't plan to make money by writing books. I can't afford the formal status of a writer.

At most, it’s just a hobby. Brother, don’t you know how many people among the public today can still remember that I published a book?”

The last time I published a book was when I was a teenager, although those works caused a big sensation in the market.

But because he is not famous himself, publishers and the media did not pay much attention to him, but instead commented heavily on the ideas in the book.

Generally speaking, when a so-called writer is not famous, no matter how excellent your work is, you will not get much royalties.

What's more, the piracy situation in the market at that time was very serious, and there were only a few people who had that kind of awareness.

Probably after realizing that he would not make much money by writing books there, Li Xianzhe concentrated on focusing his team on real estate and finance.

Seeing that Li Xianzhe didn't care about what he said, Jiang Hudong understood in his heart that indeed with his younger brother's current worth and ability, even if the TV station offered him the top-notch remuneration of 100 million per episode, he would not be very excited.

But there are some things that should be said. Thinking of this, Jiang Hodong said seriously.

"Sage, don't take your brother's words to heart. In the eyes of people in the industry, you are already the top writer.

Some lesser-known newcomers have regarded you as their idol. My brother has a few junior writers who even want to get your contact information from me. Your company shouldn't refuse script submissions, right?"

"Is this happening?"

This news made Li Xianzhe's pupils shine with light. A writer wanted to submit a story to Empire Entertainment. This matter finally aroused his interest.

It can be said that if there are no artists in a company, you can use trainees to train them and then package and launch them, but screenwriters and writers can only be signed from outside and cannot be cultivated yourself.

The more famous writers are, if they are willing to participate in the effect, they will be valued more highly by the agency than the first-line actors, so it is very difficult to persuade these people to join the company.

At present, Li Xianzhe's own company, not counting the writers signed by the cooperatives such as JYP, S..M, and YG, there are not many decent writers besides him. Jiang Junxi is barely one, but his main business is comics.

rather than screenplay writing.

"Death Note" is the most typical example. After several days of discussions with him, Lee Hyun-cheol decided on the plot of the first few episodes. In order to turn the comic into a script, Kang Jun-hee had to go back and read the textbooks from his college days.

.

In his words, when he was in college, he was immersed in art and didn't remember anything in the textbooks at all.

There are also those seniors, classmates and juniors he found from college, but currently there is no script that can be valued by the company and put into production.

This is also the reason why Kang Ho-dong accidentally mentioned that Lee Hyun-cheol's mood changed a little. The addition of the writer can only be a good thing for him.

Not only can it help him share part of the pressure of producing self-produced dramas, since his own strength is limited after all, but it can also allow everyone in the company, including trainees and artists, to have acting experience.

Although the current actors under Empire Entertainment are either trainees or former idols like Girls’ Generation.

Although there are some vacancies in the actor section of this film, Li Xianzhe firmly believes that given the opportunities and resources, these people will gradually become excellent actors in the future.

"Of course, speaking of it, there was one time when I went to a TV station to have tea, and in the director's office I saw someone sorting out scripts that people from outside had sent to the TV station."

Jiang Hodong was lost in memories. In his narration, this kind of script submission is like a trainee sending his video to the mailbox of the agency, and it is the same as a director going around to film companies to solicit investment.

Screenwriting is one of the most stressful and competitive professions in South Korea. Many scripts are submitted to television dramas every day.

But those who work on TV series are destined to be unable to watch each one one by one. If they work in the same job for a long time, they will inevitably become lazy and have to deal with each other.

Therefore, many times they use screening methods to deal with the tasks issued by the above.

Some people look at the names of the screenwriters and pick them out if they find them pleasing to the eye or recognize them. Some people look at the names of the scripts and find them interesting, interesting or very strange, so they take them out and read them. Some people simply close their eyes and pick them out at random.

.

In short, those who have the power to decide the fate of these writers will eliminate a lot of scripts after selection, and some suppressors will send them all into the grinder. They will not be used twice, which can also prevent insiders from taking them for themselves.

There was a copyright lawsuit later.

"Crush it? Are you so casual about the content without even reading the script? Today's TV stations are not the integration of production and broadcasting in the early days.

If they are dissatisfied, even if they are given to an outside company capable of producing and filming, it is better than sending them into a grinder. Are the people in the TV series all pig-minded?"

Li Xianzhe's face turned pale after hearing this. Perhaps he thought of that scene, and his lips trembled with excitement. These are all money.

Not to mention the Imperial Entertainment headquarters, he could have gathered these scripts and distributed them to the cooperatives below, letting them choose some to film themselves and let the artists from their own company star in them.

Hosts such as loen, jyp, s..m, and staiship are not short of money, but they do not have decent script resources. In his opinion, there must be some of these abandoned scripts that are not favored by others, but they were later broadcast.

It caused an explosive response.

For those who have worked so hard to write a work, if they cannot wait for a reply from the TV station, they can only find a new submission place. But if they know that their work will be thrown into pieces, the chances are high.

sad.

Even for himself, he always believes that respect is mutual. If you respect others, they will treat you with the same attitude.

He personally controls every trainee joining or leaving the company, and every employee. This is why he is respected by all employees and trainees in the company.

Yoo Jae Suk can remember the names of all the staff members of the entire program team, and so does he. Just imagine if the script he wrote was treated in this way, he would find it unacceptable.

"This is the norm in their industry, so if Xianzhe thinks it's okay, my brother can have those eliminated scripts sent to your company."

Jiang Hodong spread his hands and almost didn't say that in the variety show industry, people in the variety show bureau are equally cruel to new variety show plans submitted by writers.

But Lee Hyun-cheol's genuine reaction now made Kang Ho-dong see a rare side of him, which is that he respects the works of these writers and is willing to be a bole.

"If it's really possible, I'll bother you."

Li Xianzhe gently bent towards Jiang Hudong. He believed that Jiang Hudong had the ability to get those "abandoned" scripts out. Anyway, the college students majoring in drama in the company were very busy, so let's find something for them to do.

When it comes to selection and review, those in the television bureau may not be as visionary and pioneering as college students in these majors. Similarly, he himself can participate based on what he has in his mind.
