Chapter 24: High-income class

After the script is over, Chen Qi can still stay in the guest house. His job changed from writing scripts to cooperating with filming, and he still received a subsidy of two yuan a day. Beijing Film Studio will select a director, who will then select actors, and then the pre-production preparation will take a long time. Because there is no need to rush the schedule, there is no pressure from the management, and there is no traffic that is useless, everything is centered on producing good works. The simplest ones are, for example, to play a farmer, the actor must go to the countryside to experience life; to play a worker, the actor must go to a factory; to play a fisherman, the actor must go to the sea to float and experience what fishing is like... No one would regard these as honors, it is extremely normal. Some good actors in later generations still adhere to this tradition, but the idol group is no longer good. They all play domineering bosses and spoiled wives. Do you need to experience this stuff? Unless you play a poor man and give us experience, then we will see the poor man who "earns three thousand a month in Shanghai, rents a house by the Huangpu River, and eats soup every day." After all, actors don’t get paid these days. Actors belong to various literary and artistic units and receive a monthly salary. Filming is part of their job. If it is a national mission, how can they be paid? But there is also a daily subsidy, about 5 cents to 1 yuan. Liu Xiaoqing, Pan Hong, Tang Guoqiang... no matter how big the wrist is, it's just this price.

But it was paid in the 1980s. In comparison, even in the entire film industry, screenwriters are absolutely high-paid. How high are they? As high as three or four stories! For example, in the 1950s, the state stipulated that the songwriters of songs would receive 10 to 20 yuan per song based on the first contribution. For example, in "The Moon on the Fifteenth Day", which was sung across the country, the author received 15 yuan, and later even filed a lawsuit. . For poetry, every 20 lines count as 1,000 words, and each thousand words costs 10 to 20 yuan. so you know Why do poets write poems All Line by line. Similar to Gu Long, his royalties are also calculated by line, so he has this style of writing: night cold night A solitary lamp is like a bean. The remuneration for novels and folk arts was similar, with the exception of movie scripts. The standard at that time was 3,000 to 8,000 yuan per film, which was a sky-high price! By the 1960s, it had declined somewhat, but it was still unimaginable by ordinary people. Scripts for long feature films cost 2,000-6,000 yuan each, and short feature films cost 1,000-3,000 yuan each. The director's remuneration ranges from 500 to 1,500 yuan for a long feature film and 300 to 700 yuan for a short feature film. The most interesting thing is music. If you write a song alone, you will be given more than ten yuan. But if you score a movie or write a song, you can get 300-800 yuan for the composer and 50-100 yuan for the lyricist. It can be said that as long as it is related to movies, it will be a high-income earner.

The country has always attached great importance to movies, and teachers have personally criticized "The Legend of Wu Xun". The reason is simply that it has another function: an ideological propaganda tool! ………… "Dong dong dong!" Jiang Huaiyan knocked on the door of the factory director's office, handed over an application report, and said: "This is the opinion on the remuneration for the script of "Lushan Love", and our literature department unanimously agrees." "Let me see!" Wang Yang picked up the document, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "Okay, not too high, not too low, and it can also encourage young people." "Is that accurate?" "Okay, you go find the financial contact." Jiang Huaiyan responded and said: "Who do you plan to let film "Lushan Love"?" "Oh, this is hard to say!" Wang Yang was worried and said: "You have positioned it as a landscape lyric film. This genre has not been done before and no one has experience. I am looking for an experienced director. I am afraid that the film will be too serious. The tone is still youthful and lively." "Yes, that's what we mean. Handsome men and beautiful women, beautiful scenery, beautiful love and strong patriotism complement each other." "Let's study it some more, don't be in a hurry." Wang Yang paused and suddenly asked with interest: "Xiao Jiang, what do you think of the young man who wrote the script?" "Talented, good image, humble personality, good composition, no black background." "The other day "Drunken Master" was shown, and I listened to him chatting with others. He seemed to have some insights into entertainment films. I have always wanted the factory to produce more different types of works. We can't always be bitter and hateful. How can anyone understand this? not much." "Are you praising your talent again?" Jiang Huaiyan said with a smile. "Of course I appreciate my talent, but that young man is too young, which makes me feel unsure, so I'll keep an eye on him." After chatting for a few words, Jiang Huaiyan returned to the Literature Department. He asked Liang Xiaosheng to find Chen Qi. After a while, Chen Qi came over and said, "Director Jiang, has there been another change in the script?" "No, don't be nervous. I'll talk to you about the royalties." Remuneration! Chen Qi's eyes lit up. He was tinkering with this broken script for two purposes! One is to live in a guest house, and the other is to make money. Seeing his appearance, Jiang Huaiyan joked: "I thought you would say that because you are serving the people, you don't want the royalties!" "I'm not a saint. I naturally want to be rewarded for my hard work. Besides, I also want my parents to see it and make them happy. If I really reach the point where I have no desires or desires, I may really not want it." "Yeah, that's the truth." Jiang Huaiyan nodded and said: "The screenwriter's remuneration has always been very enviable. It was suspended for more than ten years and then resumed in recent years. The state has not set new standards for us, so we usually negotiate ourselves. Before, you could get 6,000 yuan for a script, but now it is impossible, but we will try our best to consider comprehensive factors and give you the greatest preferential treatment.

For adapted scripts, we will look at the influence of the author and the original work. The greater the influence, the higher the remuneration. For original scripts, it is similar. You are a young author, so the remuneration is usually not too high. " "I understand, I understand!" Chen Qi nodded repeatedly, muttering in his heart, 500 yuan? Or 400? At the worst, 300 yuan is always the worst... "After much consideration, we decided to give you 800 yuan in royalties! " Hiss! He shuddered. He was a boss in his previous life. He was pleasantly surprised to hear 800 yuan. As for the remuneration, it was not until 1984 that the country issued a new standard: 1,500-4,000 yuan for feature films and 750-2,000 yuan for short feature films. It was indeed a high salary at that time, but unfortunately, it was soon the 1990s. The commercial boom came and writers made a lot of money. As a result, movie screenwriters were still miserable to receive this standard. "Director Jiang, when can I get it?" "After the financial connection is completed, I can go in a while." "Okay! " Jiang Huaiyan saw his happy look and understood very well. This is 800 yuan! In 1979, the average monthly income of urban workers in Beijing was yuan, especially in urban areas, not including farmers. Farmers can earn 30 yuan a month, and more than ten yuan in poor areas. "You can live in the guesthouse first. The factory will make preparations one after another. If there is anything, we will call you." "Free activities!" "Haha, you don't have any tasks for the time being, don't you go home to see?" "Of course I will go back. By the way, Director Jiang, can "Lushan Love" be published in "Film Creation" next month? I want to take it home to show my parents." "Sure, no problem." "That's good! " Chen Qi was relieved. It was May now, and next month was June. There would be no conflict with the original author. He went out and immediately ran to the finance department to collect the money. The third set of RMB is now used, with the highest denomination of only 10 yuan. The front side is a pattern of people's representatives walking out of the Great Hall, so it has a common name, called "Great Unity". Speaking of Great Unity, Chen Qi was only a teenager that year, and accidentally opened a literary website. The works in it were very exciting, and the protagonists were all fresh in his memory: There were ignorant boys with unsatisfactory high school grades, poor school female teachers who were bullied by men, and the Prince of Dongxing who was mixed in the underworld and business world, and even Western knights, the golden hairpin in the Red Mansion, Huang Rong who had given birth to a child, and Luo Bing whose husband died... 800 yuan, a thick envelope. Chen Qi returned to the guesthouse. After a while, Liang Xiaosheng and Ge You came. Liang Xiaosheng also brought a small hammer, which surprised him. "What are you doing with this thing?" "Go with you to save money! Why don't you save all this money? I'll bring a guy with me, so I can get by when things get tough."

"..." Chen Qi touched his nose, why is he so open and honest at such an old age, really, I'm a little touched. Ge You hesitated to speak, but couldn't help but said: "Um, can I see it?" "What to see? Money?" Chen Qi took out the envelope carelessly, revealing a thick stack of banknotes. "Oh my!" Ge You's eyes turned green, just like he earned it himself, rubbing his hands excitedly and spinning around: "So much money, the first time I've seen so much money!" (I have something to do today, so I'm fine... Happy May Day everyone, are you all out to play?)
