In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 79 Wang Jing…

"We will make "The Best in the World" a benchmark for mainland martial arts dramas. In terms of production, the minimum cost is 20 million, and the most suitable actors must be selected..."

Wu Kebo blew it and summed it up in one sentence: throw money at it!

Shen Xudong is quite happy...

At this stage, TV drama production is all about stacking money. The more you stack, the better the effect will be!

"As for actors, what are your thoughts?"

"...I think Yan Kuan, Huang Xiaoming, and Deng Chao are all suitable..."

Shen Xudong casually mentioned a few candidates that he thought were unlikely...

"It's too low. Let's expand the scope. What we want to do is to do a cross-strait, three-place co-production. Don't just limit our sights to the mainland. We can invite Xie Tingfeng and F4!"

"...Then let me go back and think about it first? Will I call you tomorrow?"

"Well... just mention the actors!"

The other party hung up the phone first. Shen Xudong was stunned for a while. Shen Haobo quickly asked: "What's wrong?"

"He asked me to draw up a cast list... and said he could invite famous actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places!"

"…who?"

"Wu Kebo..." Shen Xudong explained: "Sister Chen Hao's boyfriend, I met when I was on the set of "Dragon"!"

"...Chen Hao has a boyfriend?"

"That's not the point. The point is that this time we are successful. Wu Kebo will spend a lot of money to film "The Best in the World" and hire me as the chief screenwriter..."

Shen Haobo was also very excited, but he calmed down quickly: "...When will the contract be signed? How much will the adaptation fee be? Will any TV stations participate?"

"...I don't know. It's just an intention at the moment. I'll go back and make a cast list first..."

"Okay, I'll ask you about these things... Then we'll hold a press conference to promote it..."

"News conference?"

"Such a big thing, of course it needs to be publicized," Shen Haobo continued: "You have to come out and let your readers get to know you. Look, you are young, handsome, studying in a prestigious school, with excellent grades... and you are also 80 Post, right? Why can Han Han become a famous writer born in the 1980s, but you can’t?"

Shen Xudong was very resistant: "...I am a screenwriter and work behind the scenes. I don't need to be famous..."

"Why don't you become famous? How can you increase book sales if you are not famous..."

"...well written..."

Shen Haobo had a look of hatred on his face: "Is it possible that Han Han's "Flying Like a Boy" was very well written? He sold 800,000 copies... He earned more than one million in royalties alone!"

More than one million…

Shen Xudong was decisive and moved without hesitation: "...then you can make arrangements."

"Don't worry, it's just a matter of interviews with a few media outlets at most..."

…

Senior Chen Hao is still very awesome!

Shen Xudong decided to find an opportunity to report back...

In fact, Shen Xudong was lucky, and Wu Kebo wanted to plant a flag - to enter the mainland film and television industry!

Originally they wanted to start filming a criminal investigation drama called "Witness", so they invited Liu Guoqing to write the script, and then a ban was issued on the drama involved in the case!

The so-called ban on the dramas involved in the case is a "screen purification" project. Specifically, all channels of TV stations at all levels must broadcast the subject matter involving violence, murder, terror, etc. after 23:00. Once violations are found, they will be dealt with seriously...

That is to say, such dramas are not allowed to be broadcast in prime time.

When TV stations buy dramas, the prices for prime time dramas and midnight dramas are definitely different...

If you sell it to a TV station, you won't be able to get your money back at all...

Audiovisual copyright?

Piracy is too developed...

In a word, the ban on the drama involved in the case ruined a lot of dramas!

They could only choose other themes. It just so happened that Chen Hao had always wanted to play a heroine and had always recommended "The Best in the World"...

That’s it!

Wu Kebo raised a large sum of money and was ready to reorganize the company and start a big fight!

The title of "The Best in the World" is also suitable...

Making a TV series is very simple. Directors, producers, martial arts instructors, these professionals all throw money at...

The same goes for actors, choose the most famous actors possible!

…

Shen Xudong returned to his dormitory and resisted not announcing the news that "The Best in the World" was being adapted - he hadn't signed the contract yet, what if something unexpected happened?

With a face as usual, he said hello to the brothers, sat down in his seat, turned on the computer, and then started to write the cast list of "The Best in the World"...

First of all, Shangguan Haitang must be Senior Sister Chen Hao. There is no need to think too much about this;

Then the other three, Duan Tianya, their characters and storylines are based on Linghu Chong...

Yan Kuan is quite suitable, both in height and appearance, he is suitable for a male lead...

Guihai's sword can be used by Nie Yuan or Deng Chao;

Right or wrong...

It's a bit difficult to deal with. The character of the little gangster is clever, cunning, greedy for petty gains, and cynical...

There is also a fool's play...

It's hard to play a fool. If you play the role too well, it's easy to become a madman...

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Linhai suddenly came over: "Fourth, what are you doing?"

"...Write a plan!"

"You're not going to write the script for "The Two Prides"?"

"Mr. Ma said that I will write after the director comes to make a few requests..." Shen Xudong glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Xin also came over: "Then do you know who Ma Zhongjun found to be the director?"

"I don't know, he didn't say..."

Shen Xudong suddenly had an unpleasant feeling: "Who did he find? Do you know?"

"It was reported in the newspapers that Wang Jing was found!"

"Wang Jing...oh..."

Shen Xudong understood instantly, Ma Zhongjun was mysterious...

It turns out that I caught up with Wang Jing!

It was very sudden, my mind felt dizzy, and I couldn’t hear the sounds around me...

It took a long time to recover, and what caught my eye was the concerned look in the eyes of the boss, Zhao Linhai: "Are you...are you okay?"

"fine…"

Zhao Xin brought him a glass of water: "Have you fainted again? Haven't you been sick for half a year?"

"...When I heard Wang Jing's name, I was stimulated!"

Shen Xudong took the water and said a joke...

"Are you okay? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Shen Xudong quickly waved his hand: "It's okay, it's an old problem. I checked it before..."

"...Do you think Wang Jing is not good as a director?"

"Boss, third child...I'll think about it myself first."

Shen Xudong asked them to leave, and then fell into deep thought - he had just gained some more memories, about Wang Jing, including "The Two Prides"...

Oh, that version is not called "Peerless Two Prouds". It was changed so much that even Wang Jing himself was embarrassed to call it "Peerless Two Prouds". It was renamed "Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque"...

It's a very bad drama, the director and screenwriter never figured out what kind of story they wanted to tell.

If you want to make a light comedy, then have a happy ending. If you want to play with depth, then there must be foreshadowing, struggle, and the tragic beauty of the character's inability to defeat fate...

Halfway through the filming, I felt it was better to be a tragedy, so I took the characters offline in various ways...

In order to forcibly shape the tragedy, it is staged again and again: good people are in vain every time they save people, and bad people always harm people unintentionally.

And... aren't the protagonists Xiao Yu'er and Hua Wuque?

Why is Jiang Yuyan the one cheating?

Generally speaking, in martial arts dramas, the growth of the protagonist is very important, and it must be positive.

Even if it is a tragedy, the ending of the story will definitely make people feel a glimmer of hope.

In Wang Jing's drama, the two main characters, Hua Wuque, may still have grown up a bit. They have learned the Hunyuan Zhenqi, and Xiao Yu'er is the death of the two heroines. He was completely defeated, unable to stand up, and completely unable to feel alive. power…

Instead, it was the villain who cheated?

As for the other villain Liu Xi, he is a purely vicious person, a villain with no three-dimensional sense, and almost no personal charm...

From Shen Xudong's point of view, this book is too bad!
