Chapter 412 "Events in Life"

Chapter 412 "Major Events in Life"...

The current TV drama market is mainly dominated by modern dramas!

Because costume dramas are very expensive.

At least tens of millions...

Once they fail to win the favor of the audience, film and television production organizations will be miserable.

Therefore, in recent years, production agencies have been cautious about costume dramas and carefully selected themes and scripts. "Big production + big investment = big returns" has become the basic idea of ​​​​costume dramas.

This risk control orientation has also led to the conservative situation of costume dramas - not daring to use new actors.

There are also mainly flop dramas, with Jin Yong, Gu Long and Liang Yusheng filming round after round...

I heard that Tang Dynasty bought the rights to "The Condor" and started preparing a remake.

But there are exceptions, such as the costume dramas blessed by Shen Xudong!

After all, "The Ultimate Butler" still has Xu Zheng, but "Wulin Gaiden" will have all new members!

But the network is willing to gamble.

Even "Soldier Assault" has a bunch of TV station quotes - Dragon TV, Hunan Satellite TV dual-channel broadcast...

You know, "Soldier Assault" hasn't been finished filming yet...

What kind of treatment is this?

"Snow Leopard" is a hit no matter how you look at it...

Therefore, it is normal to rush to invest!

Zhang Guoli’s Taihe people, the Huang brothers’ Huayi brothers, and even China Television Media came to visit!

To be honest, it’s not that Tianmei Media can’t find the funds to produce TV series.

If you want to say that making a movie costs more than 10 million, Gao Fenfen may have to consider it. Shen Xudong agrees with filming a TV series, and if it is less than 30 million, she would not even blink an eye, and just vote!

Because Shen Xudong has already formed a brand effect...

Therefore, "Eternal Number" naturally has no problem...

As for trying to write American dramas.

"I watched "Prison Break" two days ago, and also watched many similar American dramas. I summarized the style of American suspense dramas. First of all, there is a big suspense at the beginning, which makes people immersed in the plot quickly; secondly, the pace is fast. , leaving the audience dizzy; finally... characters, good guys are not necessarily pure and perfect, without flaws, and bad guys are not necessarily completely heinous.

I think this is worth learning, how to create this kind of suspense in domestic dramas, so I thought of spy movies..."

""Before Dawn", three major forces, the Eighth Bureau of the Kuomintang, the underground organization Sailor, and a dormant person who has been undercover in the Eighth Bureau for many years.

These three formed three story lines. The Eighth Bureau detected the Sailor organization and tracked down the sleepers inside. The Sailors and the Sleepers had their own tasks. They wanted to destroy the Eighth Bureau's Trojan horse plan.

Three groups of characters and three lines form a fairly stable triangle, which supports the entire frame of the play at once. "

"To allow the audience to enter the drama within 5 minutes, we must first set up a sleeper..."

Shen Xudong briefly talked about the concept of "Before Li Ming". All the professionals here... Even if they are not professionals, they are willing to invest in "Before Li Ming". After all, Shen Xudong said: "I plan to find Uncle Zhang and Teacher Chen Daoming." Come play a role..."

"Both of them are coming?"

"If the script is written, I don't think they will refuse!"

Deng Jie and Senju: "Neither of them is the absolute protagonist?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "For the male lead... let's find a younger actor!"

Deng Jie was surprised: "...Who are you going to use as the male lead?"

"There is an actor named Jin Dong... he is pretty good..."

…

"Snow Leopard", "Forever" including "Before Dawn"...

The supporting cast must be actors from the company.

The people from "Wulin Gaiden" have been booked first, and a bunch of actors from "Soldier Assault" can also be used...

While they are all cheap, let's sign the actor's contract first.

This is what Shen Xudong thinks!

As for the investment ratios of several companies...

It's all easy to say, whether there is mutual exchange or not!

The company also invested in Zhang Guoli's "The New Story of Jigong" and several dramas by Huayi.

China Television Media relies on the CCTV platform...

There is also Wang Jinghua’s Shijiu Culture.

This is how the circle is consolidated.

…

In the screenwriting studio, Shen Xudong took his new work "Life Events" and sent it to a few brothers to look at and ask them to provide some reference...

I saw Qin Wen reading a novel and asked.

""Our Youth Has No Place to Place"... directed by Mr. Chen Daoming?"

"Um…"

"Then...TV stations will definitely be rushing to buy it!"

Liao Gaoxiang was flipping through "Life Events" and interjected: "...Why don't you think Mr. Chen will take advantage of the situation and switch to the film industry?"

"...Maybe he prefers TV series?"

In fact, when Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo and Li Xuejian debuted, the Chinese film market was still in its infancy with economic development. To put it bluntly, it was still very barren.

Even if you want to act in a movie, you don’t have to!

"I heard he turned down a lot of movie script offers?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "...I am quite strict with myself..."

While they were chatting, Zhao Linhai raised his head and said, "Did you write this script?"

"…"Life Events"?"

"right!"

"Well, I retreated for a week and wrote two scripts..."

"How do you come up with such scripts?"

"Birth, old age, illness and death are all major events in life... Well, I have been wanting to write a story about funerals since last year... but I don't really like the heavy stuff. I like something warmer... How about the script?"

Zhao Linhai nodded: "Excellent!"

Zhao Xin also finished reading the script and interjected: "Confucius said: "If you don't know life, how can you know death? "Chinese people have always been taboo about talking about death. It has always been vague in our culture... This script faces this directly and fills the gap in the genre... It is too romantic to set off fireworks over the father's ashes in the end..."

"I wrote before that the old man's request was to either scatter the ashes in water or make them into fireworks..."

"...but I still feel a bit frustrated!"

"I think it's great!" Zhao Linhai was very unhappy: "The old man has been buried all his life, and he has already seen through it. If you don't wear hemp and mourn, and use yourself as fireworks after burning, you will go crazy again after death!"

Shen Xudong explained: "...I watched "Goodbye Lenin", and I particularly liked that part... and the sentence in "Zhuangzi" that 'death and life are fate, and it has the same nature as night and day, and heaven is also the same.'"

There is an allusion to this sentence. When his wife passed away, Zhuangzi sat on a bamboo basket and drummed in a pot - and sang at his wife's funeral. Isn't this behavior ridiculous?

But he understood the principles of life and believed: "Death and life are fate, and they have the same nature as the night sky."

Once life begins, it is a process of waiting for its end, so there is no need to be sad.

"This script is so well written. You can tell from the relationship between the characters that it is a masterpiece..."

Liao Gaoxiang was the last to read the script and said by the way: "Who are you going to find to direct?"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then asked them: "Do you have any recommendations?"

"...Chen Kexin?"

"Xu Anhua or Yang Yazhou?"

"Director Huo Jianqi is also good..."

The three of them made various recommendations, and there was even talk of looking for Amou to direct...

They are all directors who have been famous for a long time!

It's understandable that they don't want to find a bad director, otherwise, such a good script will be delayed...

Shen Xudong was speechless: "If you recommend such a good director, will they follow the script?"
