At first, I just wanted to make money

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

Because costume dramas are expensive.

Let alone tens of millions...

Once unable to win the favor of the audience, film and television production organizations will suffer terribly.

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

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

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

I heard that Tang Ren bought the copyright of "Shooting the Condors" and started preparing for a remake.

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

"The Best Family" still has Xu Zheng at least, and "Wulin Biography" is simply a newcomer!
But TV is willing to gamble.

Even "Soldiers Assault" has a bunch of TV station quotations - Dragon TV, Hunan Satellite TV, double-channel simulcast...

We must know that the filming of "Soldier Assault" has not yet been finished...

What kind of treatment is this?
"Snow Leopard", no matter how you look at it, is a big hit...

Therefore, rushing to invest is normal!
Zhang Guoli's Taihe people, the Huang brothers' Huayi brothers, and even China TV Media came to the door!

To be honest, it's not that Tianmei Media can't afford the funds to produce TV dramas.

If you want to say filming, more than 1000 million, Gao Fenfen may have to think about it, for TV dramas, Shen Xudong agrees, below 3000 million, she voted without blinking her eyes!

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

Therefore, "The Indelible Number" naturally has no problem...

As for trying to write American dramas.

"I watched "Prison Break" two days ago, and watched a lot of similar American dramas. I summed up the style of American suspense dramas. First of all, there is a big suspense at the beginning, which makes people immerse themselves in the plot quickly; second, the rhythm is fast. , making the audience dizzy; finally... Characters, good guys don't have to be pure and flawless, and bad guys don't have to be downright heinous.

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

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

These three form three story lines. The eighth game detects the sailor organization and at the same time tracks down the dormant inside, and the sailor and the dormant have their own missions, and they want to destroy the Trojan horse plan of the eighth game.

Three groups of characters and three lines constitute a fairly stable triangle, which supports the framework of the whole play at once. "

"To get the audience into the show for 5 minutes, you must first set up the dormant..."

Shen Xudong roughly talked about the concept of "Before Li Ming", everyone here is professional... Even if they are not professional, 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..."

"They both come?"

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

Deng Jie and Min Rui: "Aren't they the absolute protagonist?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Male number one... Let's find a younger actor!"

Deng Jie was surprised: "...Who do you want to use as the male number one?"

"There is an actor named Jin Dong... very good..."

……

"Snow Leopard", "The Indelible Number" including "Before Dawn"...

The supporting cast must look for actors from the company.

The group of "Wulin Biography" is booked first, and a bunch of actors in "Soldier Assault" can also be used...

Taking advantage of the fact that they are all at the price of cabbage, let's sign the actor contract first.

That's what Shen Xudong thought!
As for the investment ratio of several companies...

It's easy to say, let's communicate with each other!

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

China Television Media is backed by CCTV platform...

In addition, there is 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 read and ask them to provide some references...

Seeing Qin Wen flipping through a novel, she asked.

""Our Youth with Nowhere to Rest"...led by Mr. Chen Daoming?"

"Um…"

"Then... the TV station must rush to buy it!"

Liao Gaoxiang flipped through "Life Events", and interjected: "...Why don't you think Mr. Chen took advantage of the trend and moved to the film industry?"

"...Maybe, he prefers TV dramas?"

In fact, when Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, including Li Xuejian made their debut, the Chinese film market was still in its infancy along with economic development, and to put it bluntly, it was still very barren.

If you want to act in a movie, you don't have to act!

"I heard he turned down a lot of screenplay offers?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "...the requirements for myself are quite strict..."

While chatting, Zhao Linhai looked up: "Is this the script you wrote?"

"…"Life Events"?"

"Correct!"

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

"How did you come up with such scripts?"

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, big things in life...well, I've been wanting to write a story about funerals since last year...but I don't really like that special and heavy stuff, I like something warmer...how about the script?"

Zhao Linhai nodded: "Very good!"

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 to talk about death. It has always been vague in our culture... This script confronts this directly and fills the gap in the genre... It is that the father's ashes are placed on fireworks at the end and it is too romantic..."

"I wrote before, the old man's request, either sprinkle the ashes in the water, or make fireworks..."

"...But I still feel a little frustrated!"

"I think it's good!" Zhao Linhai was very upset: "The old man has buried his whole life, and he has seen it through. He doesn't wear sackcloth and mourning, and after he burns it, he makes fireworks with himself. He wants to go crazy again after he dies!"

Shen Xudong explained: "...I watched "Goodbye Lenin", and I really like that part... and the line in "Zhuangzi" 'Death and life, life is also, it has the same night and day, and the sky is also.'"

There is an allusion to this sentence. When his wife died, Zhuangzi sat on his knees and drummed a basin—singing at his wife’s funeral. Isn’t this behavior absurd?
But he, who understands the principles of life, thinks: "Death and life are life, and there is a constant night and day, and heaven is also."

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

"This script is so well written, it can be seen from the relationship between the characters that it is a masterpiece..."

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

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, 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 even said that they were looking for A Mou to direct them...

They are all established directors!

It is 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 shoot according to the script?"
