You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 234 New ideas, the main drama of Xihongshi Film and Television

"Drama?"

Li Mingyue, who had just returned from the leisure area with a bag of potato chips in her hand, stood at the door of Su You's office again. When Su You explained the reason for Nie Chenxing's visit, her eyes suddenly lit up like stars.

In three months, if you shoot a drama with dozens of episodes, the probability of losing money is extremely high, and the audience of the drama will not be too wide, and the final broadcast volume and popularity data will definitely be very unsatisfactory.

But after all, this is a drama sponsored by Shenhua TV. With them taking care of everything, the probability of this drama ultimately losing a lot of money is probably not high.

What really makes Li Mingyue happy is that this provides her with a new idea.

They can't lose money by making commercial films and TV series, but they can also make other types of films!

For example, a drama, for example, an art film!

Don’t you, Su You, have artistic pursuits?
It doesn't matter, I'll let you pursue it!
I will never interfere with this again, I will let you take good pictures, make a masterpiece, and make a work that will shock the world.

But, art film!

This kind of film may be very artistic or may have profound ideological connotations.

But I'm sorry, 99% of the audience are ordinary people. Everyone comes to the theater to have fun. You are doing something so serious with me, and I am paying for it?

Therefore, even if a literary film wins many awards and is praised by many big names in the industry, the possibility of succeeding at the box office is almost zero.

Understand what the past is not admonishing, and know that those who come can be chased!

Li Mingyue suddenly woke up and realized how wrong he had been. The possibility of a genius like Su You trying to cause trouble to make his film lose money was almost zero.

However, if he is allowed to make a very good literary film, it is still very possible that he will win various awards, but it will fail at the box office!

Hahahaha...

Li Mingyue felt like there was a little person in her belly laughing wildly. Although she woke up a little late, it was still not too late, and she could chase the one who came!

She frantically tried to suppress the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't control the joyful expression on her face.

"Mingyue, why are you so happy?"

Seeing Li Mingyue standing at the door of the office holding potato chips and giggling, Su You also felt a little funny.

"It's a real drama!"

"That's a real drama!"

"This is a small step for our Xihong Film and Television, and a big step for the Chinese film and television industry!"

At the thought of losing money, Li Mingyue's mood obviously became excited again, and she started to talk nonsense.

"Although the dramas we shot in the past were profitable, they were not popular on the stage. Only full-length dramas can show our Xihong Film and Television capabilities, and your Su You's ability. Being invited by Shenhua TV to film a full-length drama is a testament to our strength. recognition!”

"This is our honor!"

The meaning is obvious. Don't look at the movies you Su You made before, which were very profitable, but they were all garbage. Only dramas can represent your strength, be successful, and show your Su You's power!

Li Mingyue worked hard to PUA Su You and wanted to guide Su You to take the path of literary and artistic films, so that it would be logical for her to let Su You make literary films in the future.

"So if you shoot, you must shoot!"

Li Mingyue said decisively.

"I didn't say I wouldn't take pictures!"

Su You looked at the emotional Li Mingyue, confused.

"Hahaha, I'm so happy. Being recognized by Shenhua TV is even happier than making one billion!"

Looking at everyone's weird looks, Li Mingyue smiled awkwardly but politely, and then hummed a song and walked to the sample room. No amount of money can buy a good idea.

……

"The Age of Awakening?"

Hua Broadcasting and Television, in the office, Chen Zhibai looked at the script handed over by Nie Chenxing with some doubts.

It’s not his fault. The point is that he just reprimanded Nie Chenxing yesterday, and today Nie Chenxing came over with a script in his hand with an excited face, saying that he had dug up a treasure. Who would believe this?

Digging for treasure in one day?
Isn’t this treasure too easy to dig out?
However, Chen Zhibai was not too arbitrary. He knew that Nie Chenxing knew his temper, so since Nie Chenxing said this, he must be prepared.

Flip the script.

"The seniors who brought Mr. De and Mr. Sai...were they filming things from that era?"

After seeing the beginning of the script, Chen Zhibai suddenly became interested. Although he had not experienced that era, the turbulent history had echoed in his dreams countless times. Every time he saw that period of history, it made him excited. , choosing a story in this time period, as long as you don't make a big mistake, or even as long as you film that period of history as it is, it will be exciting enough.

Just looking at the topic, he felt that the script shouldn't be too bad.

Of course, he still needs to take a closer look. He no longer has any trust in these screenwriters. God knows whether they will turn those exciting years into a bloody love drama.

However, at this sight, he was completely fascinated.

"Hey, old squad leader, you have been watching for more than an hour. I came to you today because I have other things to say..."

At first, Nie Chenxing waited patiently, preparing to receive the guidance of the old squad leader, but who knew that the old squad leader would hold the script and read it for more than an hour, which made him unable to wait any longer, and it was almost getting dark before his eyes. Now that time is running out, he can't afford it.

He had read the script before he came. At that time, he was not much better than Chen Zhibai. He also read the script for four or five hours and did not get out of the story until he finished it.

So if he didn't say anything, Chen Zhibai might be gone in the middle of the night, and he would have to wait until tomorrow if he wanted to do anything.

"Go! Go! Go……"

However, as soon as Nie Chenxing spoke, Chen Zhibai waved his hand, "Don't disturb me from reading the script!"

"Ah this..."

Nie Chenxing pursed his lips, but in the end he didn't speak anymore. Instead, he sat down on the side and even went to the tea room to pour himself a cup of tea and get a newspaper. He knew that he would have to wait for a while. Several hours.

He didn't know that Chen Zhibai's heart had already set off a huge wave at this time. He was completely immersed in the characters of that era and their stories, and he actually felt a sense of regret that he was born at the wrong time.

How wonderful it would be if he could have been born in the era of those gentlemen!

He remembered that in the past few years, Mao Ziguo had opened a batch of time capsules.

The so-called time capsule is actually a collection of letters written by people many years ago.

When I opened it, 50 years had passed since I wrote the letter. When those people wrote, it was the fiftieth anniversary of the great revolution in Mao Ziguo. A group of students and celebrities in Mao Ziguo at that time wrote many letters. letter and sealed it, which is the so-called time capsule.

They agreed to open it on the 50th anniversary of that great revolution. A few years ago, it was the [-]th anniversary of Mao Ziguo's revolution, so the time capsule was opened.In these letters, there is a longing for future life, hope that the reform will be successful, and hope that the space dream can be realized. In short, they are full of expectations for [-] years from now.

But one of the letters impressed Chen Zhibai deeply.

The letter wrote, "I know that in your time, your restless generation will also envy us, because we have clear goals, a great future, and there are many things waiting for us every day." Do. 】

There are young people in the letter who are looking forward to the future 50 years from now, but they don’t know that people 50 years from now will also envy them!

At that time, Chen Zhibai was deeply touched when he read this. Until now, when he saw the exciting era in the script, he could only feel that his blood was boiling. He wished he could pledge his life to the country, and wished he could do something as vigorous as his ancestors. career comes.

However, Chen Zhibai also quickly cheered up. As Mr. Chen in the script said, every generation has its own responsibilities. Although he was not born in that era, he could not do as vigorous a feat as his predecessors.

But in this era, he also has his own responsibilities. As the head of China Broadcasting and Television, he needs to influence more young people through this channel so that they can become independent and self-reliant, just as Mr. Chen did 100 years ago. Pass on the femoral spirit!
"Good! Good! Good!"

After reading the script, Chen Zhibai was full of praise.

The boring knowledge points in current textbooks are so vivid in this script.

What no one believes in today is the belief that our ancestors fought for and even sacrificed their lives for.

From this script, he not only saw the years of those years, he also saw the sense of faith!

That's why he was full of praise.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Zhibai raised his head and looked at Nie Chenxing beside him. Only then did he realize that it was already dark outside. Unknowingly, four and a half hours had passed.

goooo...

At the same time, his stomach made a willful sound of resistance.

Smiling again and shaking his head, Chen Zhibai felt a little enlightened. The last time he was so obsessed with something was when he was playing marbles with Fa Xiao when he was a child.

"You're lucky. I didn't expect to be able to find a ready-made script so quickly!"

Chen Zhibai looked at Nie Chenxing, who was holding a copy of "The Golden Age", and looked at Nie Chenxing who was dozing off with boredom. He said with a smile that although the process was different from what he thought, the result can be said to be quite good. His mood also improved.

At this time, Nie Chenxing saw that Chen Zhibai had already stood up. He quickly put down the book and stood up as well. He said with a happy smile, "The old squad leader knows that this is not a ready-made script, but someone wrote it in one day." script!"

Nie Chenxing wasn't sure whether Su You had prepared this script a long time ago, but now he needed a popular legend, so he didn't mind carrying the sedan chair for Su You.

Chen Zhibai smiled. He didn't believe that a script that was extremely sophisticated, restored the history of the time as much as possible, and had excellent artistic effects could be written in one day.

Even if you are really a master in this field, it will definitely take you several months of hard work to reach this point.

As for the scripts that are always boasted in the industry and that have been polished for so many years, this kind of scripts either get the scripts and keep them there without having time to shoot, and then go out and brag about how many years they have been polished, and become the talk of the town during promotions.

Or the script is really lackluster and can only be used as a highlight to promote.

A truly good script must be completed in one go.

Of course, it's impossible to write it in just one day.

Hear the string song and know the elegant meaning.

In other words, after decades of friendship, Chen Zhibai knew what Nie Chenxing was about to fart before he even raised his tail.

So he deliberately didn't answer the question, but changed the subject and said, "I've been waiting here for such a long time. If you have anything to do, please tell me."

Ok?
Nie Chenxing, who was about to say that person's name, held his breath in his chest and felt extremely uncomfortable.

But when he thought about business, he had to swallow this breath again.

"After reading the script, the old squad leader should also know that although this script is wonderful, in film and television dramas, no matter how wonderful the script is, it needs good actors to present it!"

This is the most important purpose of Nie Chenxing's coming here. "Time is running out now, and those real actors are busy. I'm afraid it's not that easy to show good effects."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Zhibai understood Nie Chenxing's intention. He frowned and thought for a moment, and he already made a decision in his heart.

"I see!"

"Give me a casting list tomorrow and I'll handle it!"

Celebrating the motherland’s birthday is a big deal, and it’s time to use his power as the person in charge of China Broadcasting and Television. I believe everyone will still give him this face.

"Okay, I'll go and inform them right away."

Nie Chenxing smiled, this was what he was waiting for!

His task is far more than just handing in a good script. Being able to present a wonderful drama is equally important and will also become his achievement, so he is so active in running.

"So, who does this script belong to?"

Finally, when Nie Chenxing was about to walk out of the office, Chen Zhibai asked.

Originally, he didn't want to let the boy succeed, but he couldn't help his curiosity.

Nie Chenxing was stunned at first, then turned to look at Chen Zhibai with a smile on his face.

"You're laughing your ass off, tell me now."

Chen Zhibai felt that this smile was very dazzling, and couldn't help but laugh and curse.

"Who else could it be? Of course it would be Director Xiao Su!"

Nie Chenxing returned.

Chen Zhibai suddenly realized, yes, who else could write the script to this extent? Who else could it be, besides the evil director Su You?

"That boy always brings surprises to me!"

Smiling at himself, Chen Zhibai lamented that he was really fascinated by the script. He should have thought of it a long time ago!

"Yes!"

Nie Chenxing also sighed. Speaking of which, the two of them had benefited from Su You a lot.

When Nie Chenxing left, Chen Zhibai remembered that he hadn't had dinner yet and walked out of the office. Then he suddenly stopped and returned to his desk. He picked up the stack of scripts and searched randomly from the office. He put the script into a bag he didn’t know what it was and walked out of the office with it.

It was such a good script that he planned to go back and review it again tonight.

Maybe you can return to that golden age in your dreams!
