"You mean, Guo Dalu is very dissatisfied with our adaptation of his novel?"

Yu Baishu's face looked a little ugly. He sat in the office and slowly lit a cigarette. After he took a harsh breath, two smoke columns shot out from his nostrils. As the smoke swelled, he looked at Bai Weige in front of him, "What does he mean?"

At this time, only Yu Baishu and Bai Weige were left in the office, and some of their previous colleagues had already returned home from get off work.

Before, Yu Baishu was inconvenient to ask in detail in front of so many colleagues. After everyone went back, he specifically called Bai Weige and prepared to learn more about it.

"What else can it mean?"

Bai Weige shook his head and said, "Captain, I said, don't be angry. You may have done a bad job this time! Who is Guo Dalu? He is a guy who specializes in the Writers Association! He has a very bad temper! He is completely different from those authors in the Writers Association! If you put your attitude towards the Writers Association on Guo Dalu, this is completely unsuitable!"

Yu Baishu's face changed, "Why is it not suitable? What a great honor it is to adapt an author's work into a drama!"

Bai Weige quietly looked at Yu Baishu and stopped talking.

Yu Baishu was uncomfortable when he saw him, and twisted his body and said, "Why do you think of me like this? What's wrong with what I said?"

Bai Weige whispered: "Captain, are you really unknown or false?"

Yu Baishu said: "I...I understand what? What do I have to understand?"

Although he said so, his tone had obviously weakened.

It was not until the end that Yu Baishu was skilled in doing this, so skillful that he had subconsciously thought that this was a normal procedure, but from the perspective of the bystander, what he did was indeed not authentic.

The office was quiet for a while, only smoke rose.

Yu Baishu finished smoking a cigarette, pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and said to Bai Weige: "Old Bai, you are like this, go find Guo Dalu, talk to him about copyright issues, and tell him that we will not ask for this copyright for vain, give him the copyright fee!"

Bai Weige asked, "Then how much money are you going to give him?"

Yu Baishu frowned, "Then settle according to the normal manuscript fee. In the past, the manuscript fee we gave to other writers was usually between 10,000 and 30,000, and that was the case with a relatively large number of words. If the word number was small, 10,000 yuan would be almost the same. This time, I would be more generous and treat Guo Dalu differently, and give him the highest manuscript fee, 50,000 yuan!"

He sighed, "Looking all over China, you probably can't find such a high royalty!"

Bai Weige looked at Yu Baishu with a foolish look for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, I can't find such a royalty if I search the whole country!"

He laughed and said, "The authorization fee for a martial arts novel in Guo Dalu is now 5 million, and no matter the size of the article, it is about 5 million. Even the short and medium-sized martial arts stories he wrote. The copyright fee you gave him 50,000 yuan is really unavailable in the country!"

"What? Five million? Why doesn't he rob the bank!"

Yu Baishu was shocked and said in a lost voice: "How could there be so many? How could a low-ranking actor write something that costs so much?"

Bai Weige looked at Yu Baishu and couldn't help but feel a sad sympathy in his heart. Yu Baishu just stared at his own eyes on his own acre of land. He always believed that he was a person in the system and was arrogant. He ignored the development of society and could not feel the rapid changes of the times. It seemed that in his heart, the current society is still in the era of planned economy.

This person is out of touch with the times!

In the face of changes in the world, everyone is actively adapting and working hard, but Yu Baishu or other people with similar mentality choose to close their eyes, block their ears, and still keep themselves in their original state of life, not wanting to change, unwilling to change, or even fearing change!

Although they live in the new era, their methods and means of doing things are the thinking of more than ten years ago, or even decades ago.

Yu Baishu seemed to be shocked by Guo Dalu's five million copyright fee, and kept shaking his head and said, "How could it be so much? How much does our drama troupe earn in a year? It's only more than 300,000 yuan a year!"

Bai Weige said: "The movies that Guo Dalu are now being released are 200 million or 300 million in a day!"

Yu Baishu's body was shocked, "So many?"

He was really scared by such a large number and murmured: "We worked hard for half a lifetime, but we couldn't even reach his income for a day?"

Bai Weige nodded and said, "Although it's sad, this is reality!"

Yu Baishu was speechless and silent for a long time. He suddenly looked up and said, "Since he has so much money, do you still care about the money for our drama performances? You are quite familiar with him. Can you see if you can reduce the authorization fee? We are the National Theater. His works can be performed in the National Theater, which is a recognition of his works! This honor is not something that ordinary theaters can give."

He looked at Bai Weige, "Old Bai, you know the situation in our troupe. In recent years, it has been in a bad mood. If it weren't for the country's support, our troupe would have been disbanded long ago!"

Bai Weige didn't know what to say, and thought to himself: "If you weren't fooling around, would it be so far today?"

Fifteen years ago, Kyoto Theatre was actually very popular. Every time the show started, audiences from all directions came to support it. At that time, it was really hard to get a ticket.

But later, with the changes of the times, the impact of multimedia, the reduction of excellent scripts, and the random command of relevant leaders, the entire drama troupe quickly declined.

It takes almost one to three years to become a script to mature a drama, and it takes three years to earn only 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.

When there is a serious deviation between efforts and income, the industry will naturally become depressed.

The reason why the troupe still exists today is that on one hand, the strong support of the country is that many powerful actors will come to the troupe to perform dramas for "recharge". Because of the appeal of these celebrity actors and the support of some drama enthusiasts, the troupe can persist with difficulty.

There is almost a consensus in the entertainment industry that acting is much more difficult than acting in movies and TV. Only dramas test the actors' performance skills the most.

Because drama is a stage art of performing real-time face-to-face with the audience. Unlike when acting in a movie, you can say to the photographer, "I'm sorry, I forgot the words and said the lines wrong, let's do it again!" When acting in a drama, it is to face the audience directly, and there is no chance to "do it again". Even if you say the lines wrong, you have to continue to perform. And try to make up for it on stage, so it's best not to let the audience see it.

Thousands of lines must be remembered without saying a word. It takes about two or three hours to perform in one performance, and the actors must try their best to make their voices heard clearly by the audience in a three-tone resonance. This is a huge test for the actor's physical strength and spirit.

Therefore, in their spare time, many real actors like to go to the drama troupe to perform dramas to polish their acting skills.

Some old actors even call acting in movies and TV "discharge", while acting in dramas is called "charging". If you perform well, you will be called having skill.

It’s like singing an opera. If you just sing an excerpt, no matter how good the opera is, you won’t show your skills. Only by singing the whole opera and performing a opera from beginning to end can you be able to sing opera.

Whether you have the skills can be seen by anyone in the industry.

It is the praise of these famous actors for drama that can barely support dramas today. However, the lack of pillar plays in the dramas today, and only a few scripts are repeated back and forth, which has led to many drama fans becoming increasingly dissatisfied. Over time, this is not a good thing for dramas.

Therefore, the superior leaders kept asking for more innovation, practice and produce more good works on the drama.
