Chapter 256 I Don’t Really Want to Sell (34)

During this meeting, Chen Hao was mainly for company, and Zhuang Liqi wanted to arrange a few scripts.

To be precise, signing a few scripts...

"Both movie scripts and TV series scripts are required!"

Shen Xudong hesitated for a moment, and then told the truth: "Movies are not a good business..."

"It is different from TV dramas. The operation of TV dramas is a B2B model. As long as you can negotiate with a TV station company, you can basically guarantee profits. However, movies are a B2C model and you need to get everyone who will spend money to go to the theater..."

"B2B?"

"Business-to-Business, B2C refers to business to customer, which is an Internet term..."

Shen Xudong took the time to explain B2B and B2C...

I really regret it. I shouldn’t have said this. If someone wants a script, just write it!

To whom should I write or not?

But Zhuang Liqi said a bunch of additional conditions, including but not limited to Chengtian's priority investment, arranging actors, etc...

Shen Xudong was a little confused, but it wasn't that the conditions were so harsh...

But, we have cooperated like this before!

In the past, the company would look for him and he would provide the script...

No need to stress it again!

"Uncle Zhuang, don't worry. Without Chengtian's investment in "The World's No. 1", I would not have known Mr. Chen Daoming, let alone Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang... This is called the kindness of knowing someone..."

"Then it's settled... I need three movie scripts first..."

"What about genre and subject matter?"

"As long as you write it, we want it!"

Shen Xudong responded: "Then I'll go back and think about it..."

"It's best to write a blockbuster. If Cheng Tian wants to open up the situation, he must make a blockbuster!"

…

After the dinner, Tang Yan got into Shen Xudong's car - by the way!

Zhuang Liqi suggested it, and Tang Yan readily agreed. Chen Hao gave Shen Xudong an attentive look...

Who do you look down on?

She's as skinny as a stick, why don't she just have longer legs...

Will I be tempted?

What a joke...

Besides, Tang Yan had an unrelated relationship with Liao Gaoxiang before!

Wouldn't that be... more exciting?

Bah, Shen Xudong is not this kind of person!

He doesn’t hang out in the Cape District!

Of course, it’s impossible not to say a word, after all, it’s half an hour’s drive from the school!

Tang Yan sighed first: "Alas!"

Shen Xudong didn't look at her and said casually: "What's wrong?"

"I will be a junior in college next semester. I can film movies, but I don't know if I can be a good actor..."

Shen Xudong was confused: "Didn't you start filming last year?"

"I mean the permanent crew, not the kind of part-time job during the winter and summer vacations..."

"...You have a good appearance, and you are a Chinese drama student. You have a very high starting point for filming. Plus Chengtian is so supportive of you, so you have nothing to worry about."

"...But Chengtian...forget it!"

Tang Yan shut up and stopped talking...

Although she is known as silly and sweet, she is not silly and sweet. There are not many simple things who can make it in the entertainment industry!

Including Douban marketing, which seems very aloof!

Take a look at the Douban score of 8 points, look at the ratings, and count down...

Why do you think you're going to all that trouble?

As soon as it became a star, its true colors were immediately revealed. Let’s not say that "Menghualu" was canceled by BJ TV and was broadcast on TVB. The ratings were not as good as "Yu Ci Xiaowu Zuo"...

Ahem...

"Don't worry, you have a chance..."

…

Back in the dormitory, Shen Xudong immediately told Liao Gaoxiang about "The Best Servant"...

"Is "Housekeeper" going to be produced?"

"Well...I am the producer, and you are the co-writer..."

"Where to shoot?"

“Hengdian…”

Liao Gaoxiang nodded: "Sure..."

Shen Xudong then asked: "What are your thoughts on the character?"

Liao Gaoxiang didn't quite understand: "Idea? What idea?"

"It's just my favorite actor or something..."

"Xu Zheng! I want Xu Zheng to play the leading role!"

Xu Zheng…

Shen Xudong thought about it, Xu Zheng... is really suitable!

He is famous for his comedy, and "The Great Butler" will definitely take the comedy route...

Moreover, the third brother, Lin Wanrong, was an elite-level sales manager before time travel, and Xu Zheng has an elite temperament in him!

"I asked them to send an invitation letter..." Shen Xudong looked at Liao Gaoxiang a little surprised: "It's quite suitable. I originally wanted to find Deng Chao!"

"When I wrote, the prototype character was Xu Zheng..."

"What about the other characters?"

"Didn't I read "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" in that magazine..."

"I understand!"

Yang Yi, Tang Ning, Wu Dingxin, Li Qian...

Forget the first three, for TVB actresses, the price doesn't matter - it's not much more expensive at this stage. The problem is that the schedule needs to be coordinated, which is too troublesome.

Liao Gaoxiang looked expectant: "Can you invite me?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Unlikely, they are all considered popular, and TVB is busy exploiting them to death, so they can't let them go easily!"

Liao Gaoxiang was a little disappointed, but he also knew the twists and turns: "I just said casually, if it doesn't work, forget it..."

"By the way, I just had dinner with Zhuang Liqi, and he asked me to arrange a role for Tang Yan!"

"Tang Yan?"

"Well, she signed a contract with Chengtian..."

"oh…

Liao Gaoxiang is not interested...

Shen Xudong was quite curious. After all, she was a former goddess!

But it was difficult to speak directly. Staring at him, Liao Gaoxiang was confused by Shen Xudong's eyes: "What do you want to say?"

"Don't you hate her? If you do, I will tell you not to use her!"

"...Do you have such a right?"

Shen Xu thought about it for a moment, then nodded affirmatively; "There should be!"

"Then don't do it," Liao Gaoxiang scratched his head: "Actually, I used to be quite annoying and self-righteous..."

Liao Gaoxiang was doing self-analysis when the dormitory door opened. Zhao Xin and Zhao Linhai walked in. When they saw Shen Xudong, they screamed strangely. Then they came around and grabbed Shen Xudong's hands, while expressing their enthusiasm for visiting the zoo. : "Isn't this our great screenwriter Shen Xudong who has brought glory to our country!"

Shen Xudong finally broke away and gasped: "...Is there something wrong with you two?"

"I miss you so much..."

"...I don't believe a word of it!"

Zhao Linhai said seriously: "The book of "Outstanding Citizen" is indeed good... Director Chen's performance is indeed impressive!"

"…Thanks."

Zhao Xin was not interested in talking about "Outstanding Citizen". He was more interested in Venice: "I heard that many foreign girls on Venice Beach are topless. Is it true?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: "...It was in France...and Venice Beach smelled fishy..."

"What a shame. Next time you go to Cannes, take us with you!"

"...Let's talk about it when we have a chance!"

Zhao Xin glanced at Zhao Linhai, and then said: "There must be a chance..."

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Linhai looked at Shen Xudong suspiciously: "Don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

"Tian Zhuangzhuang is preparing to adapt "The Aviator"..."

"...Oh, I know this!"

Shen Xudong nodded...

Zhao Xin calculated: "Director Tian Zhuangzhuang will start filming now, just in time for Cannes next year..."

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "...I don't really want to sell the adaptation rights..."

"Why? That's Tian Zhuangzhuang!"
