Chapter 27 Scoring Rules
"By the way, how long will it take to film this movie? If it takes too long, will it affect my schooling?" Zhang Zeyan asked Zheng Xinyao over the phone.
Hearing Zhang Zeyan's words, Zheng Xinyao said, "Don't worry, your scenes will be finished in two months at most. If it really doesn't work, I'll help you ask the school for leave. Don't worry."
"Alright then." Zhang Zeyan nodded.
"By the way, let me make this clear first. Although I recommended you to the director for an audition, I can't guarantee you'll be successful. I can only guarantee you one audition opportunity," Zheng Xinyao said over the phone.
"I understand, whether it works or not is up to me."
Although Zheng Xinyao introduced him to the director, whether it will work out still depends on him.
If his acting is so bad, then nothing you say will make a difference.
"By the way, the audition is in two days. There may be other actors competing with you then, so you can use the two days to prepare. If your acting skills aren't too bad, I'll help you get the role."
"Understood, thanks."
"Okay, I'll send you a copy of the script later. Take a good look at it."
"clear."
Soon after the call ended, Zheng Xinyao sent him an electronic copy of the script.
It took Zhang Zeyan more than two hours to read the entire script, and he finally gave it a score of 76.
For him, anything below 50 points is a failing grade, while a script scoring between 50 and 60 points is considered average.
A score of 60 or above is considered passing.
A score of 70 or above is considered excellent, and it will keep you reading.
If it scores 80 or above, it is excellent. It can not only keep you watching, but also occasionally has scenes that will make your scalp tingle. It's the kind of thing that will keep you awake until you finish watching it.
As for those scoring 90 points or higher, they are the kind of shows that keep giving you goosebumps, the kind that even seasoned film buffs can't sleep until they finish watching.
According to Zhang Zeyan's scoring system, if it were on Earth, there would be almost no TV series or movies scoring over 90 points.
Even hit dramas like "Bright Sword" and "In the Name of the People" only score above 85 points for him, while dramas like "Empresses in the Palace" only score between 80 and 85 points.
Of course, compared to Earth, Zhang Zeyan found that although the technology in this world was advanced, the movies and TV shows were not very good.
Even the kind of movies and TV shows that can become popular across the galaxy only score above 80 points on his site.
There are only a few dozen films that score over 85 points. And that's the number accumulated over hundreds of years.
……
He finished reading the script Zheng Xinyao gave him, and it only scored 76 points. He didn't know how good the director was. If the director wasn't good, the final score of the film would be even lower.
Even with the lower ratings, this TV series is still considered excellent and has the potential to become a minor hit.
Of course, if the director is very skilled, and the actors are also very talented, the rating can be improved.
……
After reading the entire script, Zhang Zeyan felt that there were many flaws, and he couldn't help but want to revise it.
The script was good, but the plot and dialogue felt somewhat lacking to him, and some lines were particularly inconsistent with the characters' personalities.
Putting down the script, Zhang Zeyan couldn't help but turn on a personal computer in the room and open a software labeled as Qidian Reading.
Once the software is opened, it contains various novel layouts and categories, such as Wuxia, High Martial Arts, Fantasy, Xianxia, Xuanhuan, and so on.
Open the Wuxia page, and you'll find Wuxia novels such as The Legend of the Condor Heroes, The Return of the Condor Heroes, and The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.
Then there are other categories, including Jade Dynasty, Primordial Era, Legend of Sword and Fairy, The Journey of the Immortal, Battle Through the Heavens, A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Against the Gods, and so on.
These are all novels by top authors on Earth that Zhang Zeyan copied and translated over the past few years based on his memories of reading novels in his previous life.
The system had previously instructed him not to publish his works from Earth, so he simply kept the novel content on his computer and did not publish it online.
To ensure that this content would not be discovered by hackers and thus spread online, his computer was never connected to the internet from beginning to end.
It's not just the novel; it also includes music, scripts, and other things that Zhang Zeyan copied.
Zhang Zeyan was afraid that he would forget some of the excellent works, so every night he would take the time to copy down the excellent works he remembered.
Today, after seeing the script sent by Zheng Xinyao, Zhang Zeyan realized that he should also start making plans in advance.
Therefore, he decided to publish the novel online.
The first step was to publish martial arts novels.
These martial arts novels are all modified versions of the novels based on the situation in this world. As long as they are liked by the readers in this world, he can adapt them into screenplays and then make them into TV series.
He plans to follow a pattern of first martial arts, then high-level martial arts, then fantasy, then xianxia, and so on.
Because if we release fantasy/xianxia (Chinese fantasy) stories from the beginning, no one might watch wuxia (martial arts) stories.
Having grown accustomed to witnessing the destruction of mountains and rivers with a mere wave of the hand, who could bear to watch a fight between people using cold weapons and techniques?
When it comes to publishing his novel, Zhang Zeyan doesn't plan to do so on any novel platforms in this world, because if he publishes it on a platform, the copyright will no longer belong to him.
So, two years ago, he built his own novel website, but it was never launched.
Now that the Heavenly Dao of Earth no longer prevents him from publishing his works, he is preparing to publish them on the website he created.
Once he gains some fame, a little promotion will attract many fans to read his novels.
In that case, the copyright of his novel will belong to him forever.
The next day, Zhang Zeyan contacted the server rental company and spent tens of thousands of yuan to rent the server for ten years before he could launch his novel website.
After the website went live, he hid all the novels except for martial arts novels. Even if someone visited the website, they could only see the martial arts novels he uploaded.
After launching the website, Zhang Zeyan stopped managing it.
On the third day, he flew directly towards the film crew where Zheng Xinyao was.
Tianzhufeng Scenic Area is more than 10,000 kilometers away from Tianyang City, where Zhang Zeyan is located.
Zhang Zeyan flew for more than ten hours before arriving.
"Zheng Xinyao, I've arrived. Where is your film crew?"
Upon arriving at the scenic area, Zhang Zeyan parked the aircraft in a designated plaza for aircraft parking and marked a parking space.
After marking the parking space, Zhang Zeyan can use the aircraft to return with a single click and park it in the marked location when he goes to other places.
"Have you arrived yet? We're in Area A! You'll see us when you come over."
Upon hearing Zheng Xinyao's words, Zhang Zeyan immediately piloted the aircraft towards Area A.
Soon, Zhang Zeyan saw a group of people in the sky, and a familiar person in the crowd waved to him.
Zhang Zeyan piloted the aircraft to land nearby, and after getting off, he had the aircraft return to its starting position with a single keystroke.
"You're here!" Zheng Xinyao greeted Zhang Zeyan with a smile.
"Yaoyao, who is this?" Zheng Xinyao's mother looked at Zhang Zeyan warily and asked Zheng Xinyao.
"Mom, he's the Zhang Zeyan I told you about. He came to audition for our film crew," Zheng Xinyao quickly explained.
"Hello, Auntie!" Zhang Zeyan greeted Zheng Xinyao's mother.
"Zheng Xinyao, is this your friend?" At this moment, the other members of the crew also curiously gathered around.
"Yes, he's my friend."
"Why is your friend wearing a mask? Is he some kind of interstellar superstar?"
