Screenwriter Mystery

After the script for the first episode of "Modern Family" was handed over to Universal, the whole thing basically came to an end.

The follow-up matters of the TV series will be operated by Universal's film and television distribution department, including the follow-up TV station negotiation work. There are special lawyers within Universal to handle the copyright of the TV series for him.

Therefore, the only thing Zhao Yuan can do right now is to wait quietly.

Once Universal's film and television distribution department has reached a consensus with which TV station, the follow-up TV series shooting will begin.

However, the Thanksgiving holiday is coming soon.

In the United States, Thanksgiving is a relatively important holiday, although now the objects of gratitude have been buried in the ground.

But this does not prevent Americans from paying more attention to Thanksgiving.

As a legal holiday, even a big Hollywood capital like Universal must have a regular holiday, so Zhao Yuan estimated that it would take a few more nights to wait until "Modern Family" really starts to contact major radio stations for scripts.

Not to mention, even if the TV station expresses its intention for the script, it will be delayed until April or May next year after the preparation of the crew, the completion of the filming of the first episode, the review of the film and the follow-up research. It took at least half a year before "Modern Family" was officially put into filming.

The whole process is cumbersome and complicated.

The only good news during this period is that once the script is selected, the TV station will pay the screenwriter a certain amount of remuneration to buy the script of the first episode. There is a large degree of connection. Judging from Zhao Yuanyuan's experience, the remuneration will fluctuate between 50,000 and 500,000, and the more famous screenwriters get.

It seems a lot, but all of this is based on the basis of the screenwriter's writing and revision of the script in the past year.

Moreover, the premise of the TV station's payment is that the script is selected to shoot the pilot episode. If it is not selected, it basically means that the whole year of the screenwriter's efforts will be in vain.

Even if the first season of the TV series is successfully renewed, once the ratings do not meet the TV station's expectations, it is common to be cut off.

For example, the Zhao Yuan of this world was cut down in the sitcom where he was originally employed, and he was in a state of poverty and trance.

Although, the market for TV dramas is cruel and uncertain.

However, Zhao Yuan has full confidence in the script he "created".

It is not easy to be able to successfully renew a TV series for eleven seasons.

Not to mention, the series of awards behind "Modern Family" also gave Zhao Yuan greater courage and confidence.

Of course, even if "Modern Family" stumbled into Zhao Yuan's hands like this, it might be traumatic for an ordinary screenwriter, but for him it's just an occasional parallel world butterfly effect. Compared with these ordinary screenwriters, his biggest advantage is naturally that the assets of the whole world behind him provide him with inspiration for "creation".

In case, in case, it failed again.

Well, he still has a system.

…

During the day, the Chinese district in Compton, Los Angeles becomes a bit lively.

On the cluttered streets, various Afro-Latino immigrants gathered around doing nothing. Occasionally, scantily clad women crossed the street, and they could hear their strange calls like baboons in heat.

Passing through these gathering places of black people, Zhao Yuan was 100% full of energy and didn't look sideways.

Although it is daytime, it does not mean that Compton is not in danger.

The "law-abiding" hardworking black people only exist in the TV news reports, and most of the black people wandering here are a group of loafing dangerous elements.

"Maybe, I should move out from here earlier."

Every time I experience Compton's 'simple' folk customs, Zhao Yuan's desire to move out becomes stronger and stronger.

However, firstly, there is still half a month left in the lease he signed with the landlord. If he moves out now, the stingy landlord will never refund the remaining rent to him; secondly, Zhao Yuan feels that , Compton's chaotic security situation is simply an ideal location for the evolution of the script.

After a few days of conscious or unintentional observation, Zhao Yuan has basically chosen the [evolution location] of his next script.

The only thing to do next is the creation of the second script and the preparation of materials.

With the experience of the first script "Cycle", Zhao Yuan had enough time to deal with everything about the new script and avoid getting into a chaotic situation like before.

In his mind, he was trying to figure out the content of the new script.

Zhao Yuan walked through several dirty neighborhoods full of graffiti, stopped for a while in front of the "Kelaide" sign, and quickly walked past.

Passing the location of the restaurant, and after walking for nearly 100 meters, an apartment with an old-fashioned 1970s appearance appeared in front of Zhao Yuan.

Seeing the apartment he was familiar with, Zhao Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that he originally mentioned was also relieved. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Drop, drop!

However, before he could get close to the apartment, the screeching honk of a car came from behind.

Turning his head, looking at the car that was less than four or five meters away from him, Zhao Yuan subconsciously gave way to the side.

The car passed by him and stopped exactly in front of the apartment.

Opening the car door, a black girl with a hot explosive head and a cool dress walked out of the car.

"Dear, come pick me up tomorrow..."

Reaching out to take a few banknotes from the driver's window, the little black girl lowered her head to the man in the car lightly, then turned to look at Zhao Yuan who was not far away, rolled her eyes at him and posed a With a disdainful expression on his face, he twisted his waist and walked upstairs.

"Sure enough, the old one can be a grandfather."

Zhao Yuan didn't take the black girl's disdain too seriously.

On the contrary, his eyes swept across the figure in the driver's seat in the car, his eyes stopped for a while on the other side's gray hair, and he couldn't help nodding in his heart.

…

"...Fu**you, you Bichi, got together with that old man again..."

When they went upstairs and passed a certain room in the apartment, the quarrel from inside could clearly reach Zhao Yuan's ears even through the door.

Ignoring the quarrel that was staged almost every day, he came to the door of the room he rented and stopped.

Open the room and close the door.

The fierce quarrel became looming, and Zhao Yuan's eyes fell on a few items in the room that he had prepared before.

"Finally, everything is ready."

Looking at the [materials] he had prepared for the next new script, Zhao Yuan said eagerly.
