In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

Shen Xudong summed up a set of rules, that is, when discussing projects with successful people, you must first spend half an hour praising...

Just listen to him talk about his entrepreneurial experience!

In fact, among the mainland companies that produce film and television dramas, do they have any entrepreneurial experience?

Everything depends on relationships!

Teng Zhan, the boss of Jin Yingma Film and Television, whose father is the former director of Emei Film Studio, Rong Xinda and Li Shaohong, who were former directors of BJ Film Studio, including Liu Yanming of Hairun Film and Television, were also in BJ before going overseas. Works in a television station and is the production director of the Ministry of Literature and Art...

Jiang Xuerou…

She said that Zhouyi started his career by importing Taiwanese films and gained his reputation...

"Bao Qingtian", the 94 version of "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer", "Spring Breeze Does Not Ask the Road", "The Strange Case of Shi Gong", "The Legend of Jianghu", "The Romance of Dragon and Phoenix", "Changfeng Escort Bureau"...

They were all introduced by Zhou Yi!

Later I felt that it would be better to import it than to do it myself.

Of course, I didn’t jump in and started working with others at the beginning, including “In This World”, “The Legend of the Beggar Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang”, “Lover’s Bodyguard”, “The Beautiful Girl of Heaven”, “Happy Dragon”, “Magic Hunt”, “Ma Yongzhen” ", "Young Hero Fang Shiyu"...

I must say that in "The Legend of the Beggar Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang", the person who plays Zhu Yuanzhang is... He Jiajin is so handsome!

Later, he started to take the lead and launched "Qinghe Juelian", "Wulin Foreign History", "Xiao Shiyilang"...

But their main relationship is in Taiwan, not in the mainland, so even dramas such as "Water Moon Cave" failed to premiere on stars!

During the dinner, Shen Haobo interjected: "Producer Jiang's greatest achievement is not drama production, she is the founder of the Chinese Martial Arts Literature Society!"

"...Martial Arts Literature Society?"

"You don't know? You write about martial arts, don't you know about this organization?"

Shen Xudong…

How would I know when I step on a horse?

I didn’t even know there was an Internet Literature Association in our county!

…

"Your new book "Zhu Xian" is about cultivation?"

"Yes... I feel that martial arts is limited in terms of imagination, and it is difficult to write new things..."

"Your ideas are very similar to Chen Manling's. She is also planning to write a script about cultivation, called "Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts"..."

So far, so good chat...

Shen Xudong himself is also willing to leave "The Best in the World" to Zhou Yi. After all, Zhou Yi's specialty is martial arts dramas!

But when talking about the script, Jiang Xuerou said, ‘The script will be written by Chen Manling, and you can help write it’…

Before Shen Xudong could speak, Shen Haobo asked: "Is Xudong studying screenwriting? "The Best in the World" is his work. No one knows his work better than him..."

"Then how are you going to make it up?"

Shen Xudong said: "In the early stage, there were three secret agents surrounding Cheng Shifei, and in the later stage, they were surrounding Zhu Wuli..."

"How is that different from your novel?"

This... Shen Xudong didn't know how to answer. Shen Haobo interrupted: "But it's his novels that you are interested in!"

"What I value is the familiar character settings in "The World's No. 1"... the story settings... You can be said to have learned from many others, with countless shadows of Jin Yong and Gu Long! But... Chen Manling is a very talented screenwriter..."

Well, I'm not even willing to give him the position of chief screenwriter...

Not to mention the right to make casting suggestions!

Jiang Xuerou has a very controlling personality. In all the dramas she makes, she has to personally participate in the costumes, props, pictures, scenery and even the music, and she takes the lead!

That's why the style of the Zhouyi drama is so shocking.

…

"Think again, we Zhou Yi are the best at martial arts!"

Leaving behind a word, Jiang Xuerou left...

Oh, her main task in coming to BJ was to talk to the TV station about the broadcast of "Shuiyue Cave". As for "The Best in the World", she just came to talk about it...

Both Shen Xudong and Shen Haobo overestimated the influence of "The Best in the World"...

Yes, "The Best in the World" has been at the top of the book sales list for six consecutive weeks, but... this is a martial arts novel!

In the eyes of most viewers, including film and television company bosses, the works of Jin Yong and Gu Long are worth filming—because there are TV stations paying the bill.

No matter which version of Jin Yong's drama, especially the most popular ones, there is no shortage of broadcasting platforms for filming, and they will even compete for them!

Shen Haobo sighed: "...I didn't expect Jiang Xuerou to be so ignorant..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "...I don't think it's because I'm indifferent, it's just that I simply don't like me...that's normal!"

"normal?"

"I am a complete novice now, just a best-selling author!"

"...It's okay, I will help you find another company that is willing to delegate power... Next time we will improve the conditions and let you be the producer!"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "How can there be such a big injustice..."

"...I know a few rich coal bosses..."

"Forget it, I still prefer to cooperate with capable companies..."

The two of them were walking and chatting...

The adaptation rights were not sold, and Shen Xudong was quite depressed - Zhang Jizhong said, 'If a company is willing to film, Zhou Yi is the best choice! ’

Now the best option is gone...

"Actually, it's not a bad thing that it wasn't adapted right away. If you look at Han Han's "Three Doors" and make it into a TV series, you won't find a broadcast platform at all!"

"...Then I definitely can't find it..."

The core of the story of "Three Doors" is the love between Lin Yuxiang and Susan...

But their status is students, what is this called, this is called puppy love!

Coincidentally, there is an obvious rule in the censorship of domestic dramas: puppy love is not allowed on campus!

"Triple Gate" just hit the target...

Shen Haobo suddenly asked: "Xudong, how much does it cost to film a martial arts drama?"

Shen Xudong immediately replied: "...how can it cost several million..."

"Forget it..."

"What? You want to invest in a drama?"

"Haha...make some money!"

"Forget it, we don't know anyone. Even if you film it, no TV station is willing to pay for it..."

Shen Haobo was surprised: "Is there any secret here?"

"What do you think..."

Shen Xudong was about to talk in detail when Shen Haobo took out his mobile phone and his phone rang...

Three minutes later, Shen Haobo immediately told Shen Xudong with a happy face: "Someone contacted me again!"

"…who?"

"Zhuang Liqi from Shanghai Zhihong Entertainment...do you know?"

"I...wait a minute, I'll take a call..."

Shen Xudong's cell phone also rang. It was Chen Hao who called him. The latter told him that Wu Kebo was going to make "The Best in the World" and had hired Cheng Xiaodong and Feng Boyuan as directors...

"You are the screenwriter!"

“…”

Shen Xudong felt a bit sudden... Just now he was worried that Zhou Yi wouldn't shoot, so who should he look for...

A big water pipe came immediately?

"...I'll tell you this much first. Wu Kebo should contact you later. Tell him what you think...be sure to talk carefully!"

After warning, Chen Hao hung up the phone...

Shen Xudong didn't speak during the whole phone call!

"What do you mean? Who is Zhuang Liqi? Is the company reliable?"

"...Zhuang Liqi is from Shanghai Film Studio..." After thinking about it, Shen Xudong changed to a more direct statement: "He is the producer of "Love in the Rain"!"

"...very reliable?"

"Wait a minute, I'll take a call first..."

This time Wu Kebo’s phone number came...
