In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

Well, as Shen Xudong is the chief screenwriter, the filming of the TV series is about to start, so it is only natural to meet the leading actors...

Deng Chao, Nie Yuan, and Ren Quan were not the masters of Zilaishu...

Of course, we also talked about character prototypes and biographies, such as Duan Tianya's prototype, Cheng Shifei's performance standard, Gui Hai Yi Dao's prototype, etc...

The screenwriter is still the author of the original work, so he must have his own understanding of the characters...

However, in the second half of the conversation, the person chatting with was Wang Jinghua, who was very interested in Shen Xudong.

"I heard that after your "Zhu Xian" was serialized, the sales of "Martial Arts Edition" increased to 900,000 copies?"

"...I don't know about this, but I know that many people criticize "Zhu Xian" for not being a martial arts..."

"These people are just full of food. You don't care if it's martial arts or not, as long as it looks good, that's it!"

Shen Xudong didn't know how to answer what he said. Chen Hao interrupted: "'Zhu Xian'? Your new novel?"

"Um…"

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"After the serialization of "No. 1 in the World" ended, the magazine department was in a hurry, so I sent my newly written work to it..."

Shen Xudong explained...

Chen Hao quickly asked: "Have the film and television rights been sold?"

"Not yet...but "Zhu Xian" is quite difficult to shoot..."

The scene is too fantasy and difficult to shoot. If I shoot it simply, I will definitely be scolded by book fans...

Of course, if "The Best in the World" succeeds, "Zhu Xian" will definitely be put on the screen - they are all works by Shen Xudong!

"I heard them say that "Zhu Xian" is a fairy novel?"

"Yes... Xianxia type..."

"So you can be considered a new genre?"

Shen Xudong hurriedly waved his hand: "No, the Xianxia type. As early as the Republic of China, Huanzhu Louzhu's "Shushan Swordsman Biography" already mentioned the concepts of Xianxia and cultivation... I just made some small contributions based on the predecessors... "

"That's also very impressive. They are all writing about martial arts, but you are the only one who reminds me of Xianxia!"

…

Shen Xudong felt very awkward, but no matter how humble he was, Wang Jinghua had the ability to support him!

Logically speaking, after complimenting her for a while, it was almost time to express her demands, but she had no demands at all...

"I heard that you produced "A Taste of the Three Kingdoms"?"

"It doesn't count. We have done "In-depth Analysis" before, which is a video explanation. It is broadcast by more than 30 local stations across the country. So I was thinking about analyzing the classics... It happened that BJ station wanted to do a similar program. …”

"similar?"

"It's like Phoenix TV's Century Lecture Hall, where one person speaks!"

"Century Lecture Hall" is a weekly program on Phoenix TV Chinese Channel that adheres to ideological and academic nature and has strong cultural ambitions. It has a high reputation in the Chinese cultural and media circles.

In response to this program, CCTV held hundreds of forums and even invited science gurus such as Ding Zhaozhong and Yang Zhenning...

but? The ratings were dismal.

"...Then why is it the Three Kingdoms?"

"Of course it's the Three Kingdoms. Everyone is familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms. Who doesn't know Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao... TV programs require popularization. Because of the Three Kingdoms, many people actually know that "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is not history, so they can understand Yi Zhongtian What are you talking about?"

Wang Jinghua sighed again: "Awesome, did you think of all this?"

"I just think that "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" have a wider audience, but I didn't expect that the show would be so popular after it was broadcast..."

Chen Hao was surprised and couldn't help but interject: "You still do shows?"

"Well, at first I thought it was fun and I could make some money..."

Chen Hao looked at Shen Xudong carefully and sighed: "...You are only a freshman..."

"...I just come up with an idea, but it's not me who executes it..."

"That's awesome! When I was in college..."

"When you were in college, you had already starred in "Nashan Na Ren Na Dog" and won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Feature Film... In addition, "Na Shan Na Ren Na Dog" had a box office of 600 million yen in Japan, surpassing "My "Father and Mother"!"

Chen Hao stopped talking and rolled his eyes at him...

Nie Yuan and Deng Chao were a little surprised: "...really?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "Well, it will be shown at the Iwanami Cinema in Japan. It is an art theater chain, and it is a long-term success..."

Therefore, Wu Kebo fell in love with Chen Hao!

…

Shen Xudong actually underestimated his influence...

The current stage is called the chaotic stage!

TV drama teams from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places have all gathered in the mainland, and TV stations are also focusing on drama series.

In 2001, Anhui Satellite TV established a development path focusing on TV dramas. Relying on a large number of TV dramas to break through the siege, Anhui Satellite TV became a dark horse of provincial satellite TV.

The success of Anhui Satellite TV has led more than ten provincial satellite TV stations to greatly increase the broadcast of film and television dramas...

The requirements are high and the output is large, so... how can you ensure that your drama has high ratings?

This is a time period, and there is no traffic in this concept yet...

The appearance of a big star can indeed guarantee that the TV station will pay for it, but it cannot guarantee that the market will pay for it. Even if the market pays for it, the critics will not buy it and you will feel uncomfortable even if they criticize you twice!

"Beautiful Men and Women", "Red Apple Paradise" and "Wesley the Young King" all have high ratings, but their reputation is low and the reviews are very unfriendly...

Good screenwriters in this era are very popular!

Wang Shuo, Haiyan, Liu Heping...

There is another reason. The mainland TV drama market was developed by the TV drama production center. The center attaches great importance to screenwriters. "Undercover Police", "The Story of the Editorial Department", "I Love My Family", and "Desire" all have scripts that are greater than actors...

Shen Xudong is a famous screenwriter, so he is naturally popular!

Wang Jinghua asked again: "I heard that you wrote a harem-themed script for Chen Hao?"

Shen Xudong looked at Chen Hao, who nodded slightly, so he said: "...Yes, it's called "Golden Branch Desire"..."

"How did you come up with it?"

"I feel that although there are many palace themes on the market, they are all stories about the emperor, so I wanted to write a story about the harem..."

"So, you are awesome and have a sensitive market sense..."

Shen Xudong couldn't bear it anymore and asked directly: "Sister Hua, please stop praising me. You have been praising me since I came in... I'm really not that great!"

Wang Jinghua was happy: "Sure, I won't say anything anymore..."

She cleared her throat and said, "I'll just say it bluntly, I hope to be your agent..."

"I'm not an artist..."

"Don't refuse in a hurry! As for me, I have some resources at hand, so I should be of some help to you. I will do my best!"

Shen Xudong still shook his head: "No, Sister Hua, I just sell words, and I have no interest in walking in front of the stage..."

"Han Han..." Wang Jinghua wanted to say something, but Chen Hao interrupted: "...Sister Hua, please don't poach people in front of me. Xudong has signed three drama contracts with our company...he can be considered a member of our company!" "

Is this happening?

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment...

Wang Jinghua smiled, glanced at Chen Hao, and then continued: "I just think the harem-themed drama Nian just mentioned is interesting..."

Chen Hao replied: "...wait for "The Best in the World" to be finished first, and then we will study it!"

Will be available tomorrow…

Thanks for meeting.
