In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

The literary channel is not a star channel...

The only people covered are BJ and surrounding areas, so the advertising revenue is much lower than that of BJ TV, which is a star!

This also means that it is impossible to offer sky-high prices...

Fortunately, this time the TV station also participated in the production of "Analysis of Masterpieces" and gave a single episode a price tag of 12,000 yuan...

Gao Fenfen came to see Shen Xudong.

Several people discussed what to do...

Gao Fenfen said first: "Twelve thousand...but we have to pay Teacher Yi Zhongtian six thousand yuan per issue!"

"It's not bad, the net profit is 6,000 per period!"

"You are not allowed to find someone to carry the camera? You are not allowed to find someone to edit? You are not allowed to show the passages from the books mentioned by Teacher Yi Zhongtian? All of these cost money..."

"...You still have to split the accounts with the BJ station...I did the math and found that there is almost no profit~"

"Pure white fuck?"

"It would be nice if we don't let us put money in it!"

"This business can't be done!"

Hearing this, Shen Xudong asked: "...can it be broadcast on multiple TV stations like "In-depth Analysis"?"

Gao Fenfen shook his head: "It's unlikely. We didn't produce it ourselves this time. The TV station also participated..."

"If we can get rid of the TV station, what can we do on our own?"

"No...I asked my dad!"

"How to say?"

"The TV station disagrees. They think "Analysis of Masterpieces" will be successful!"

"If you're so sure, why don't you ask a higher price?"

"Twelve thousand for one phase is already a very high price. After all, the literary channel is not a satellite TV station..."

"Then why not go to the stars?"

This time, Zhao Linhai responded: "I don't dare! I will put on a show rashly, not to mention whether it will be successful. If it is successful, it will cause controversy and many people will be punished!"

"...Go and ask your dad...it's not a star anyway, so why can't it be sold to other TV stations?"

Gao Fenfen said: "... let's broadcast it for a while and then talk about it..."

"how to say?"

"More convincing! I think "Analysis of Masterpieces: Taste of the Three Kingdoms" will definitely become popular. When the time comes, we won't have to go to the TV station..."

Shen Xudong thought about it...that's right...

Needless to say, Yi Zhongtian's "Three Kingdoms" is very popular.

"When will the first episode be broadcast?"

"June 27th!"

"...next Friday...I have to go to Chengdu to sign books and sell books!"

"Don't worry, I'm watching!"

"Then you make the decision...I have to see Wang Jing tomorrow..."

"Wang Jing?"

Shen Xudong talked about his meeting with Wang Jing and Ma Zhongjun tomorrow...

…

Wang Jing, a very aesthetic director!

Look at the crystal girls he held out, Shu Qi, Qiu Shuzhen, Weng Hong, Zhu Yin...

Each one is as beautiful as the other!

There is really no book that can be said about Wang Jing. He is a very real person in the film industry. In his world, commercial films and literary films are two completely different boundaries.

Commercial films are about making money, no matter how bad they are, it doesn’t matter; literary and artistic films are about selling feelings, and they will accept the loss.

This can also be seen in Jackie Chan and Andy Lau...

If you want to make money, you have to be shameless and pee your shit...

Never stand when making money, and never think about making money when standing. Be a bitch when it's time to be a bitch, put on your clothes when it's time to erect a memorial arch, hold the arch high, and hold your head high.

Many mainland filmmakers are not like this. They often package the artistic films they want to make into commercial films that can make money, and then use the project to deceive investors and use investors' money to realize their dreams.

In the end, they themselves became the idols in the hearts of literary and artistic youths...

As a talented child who has read the Four Great Classics and Jin Yong's novels at the age of 11 and started writing scripts, his screenwriting skills are very strong!

So, don’t think that he is just a bad movie director who only knows shit...

However, it is true that he looks down on Shen Xudong and Qin Wen...

Especially when Shen Xudong talked about the logic of the script, Wang Jing interrupted him directly: "The most important thing about a TV series is that it looks good. The logic you mentioned is not important..."

It's pretty good. Although his Mandarin isn't great, he can at least understand it...

"Then what do you think "Peerless Two Prouds" should do?"

"I'm going to take the comedy route. After all, I've invited Zhang Weijian to play the role of Xiao Yu'er! And my focus is on the growth of the villain, Jiang Yuyan's path to darkness..."

It is understandable that the director and screenwriter of Andy Lau's version of "The Two Prides" is Wang Jing...

It’s the version where Jiang Yulang transformed into a big BOSS...

Before Shen Xudong spoke, Qin Wen couldn't help but said: "But this is Gu Long's novel, and I think we should embody Gu Long's style!"

"Gu Long's style? What is the style of Gu Long's works? Can you tell me clearly? Unlike Jin Yong, he is indeed a martial arts master, and the narratives in his works are very fragmented. The same is true of "Peerless Two Prides". The novel basically has no plot. Incoherent. Gu Long often writes things after he is drunk. So I want to give his works more things..."

After a pause, Wang Jing continued: "Vendettas, internal fights in the palace, family grudges... I will cover it all!"

"Aren't you afraid of being scolded by Gu Long's fans if you change like this?"

"Don't use the word "scold", use "discussion". The more discussion, the better, which means more people will read it. Some people may be disgusted by the adaptation if it is too big, but more people will be happy. Gu Long's novels have a lot of room for development.

It was the 1960s, and Cologne only existed. Today, we need some spirit of the times. For example, there are many light-hearted and funny elements. Modern people live at a fast pace and need these. Also, the heroine (Tie Xinlan) in his original work is always harassed by bad guys and drinks all day long, which is not in line with the appreciation level of contemporary teenagers. "

This is... sophistry!

Wang Jing looked at Shen Xudong: "I heard that you are the screenwriter of "Dragon Movie". Did you write it exactly according to the original work?"

"…right!"

"What's the point of that? Therefore, I dislike Zhang Jizhong very much. He is blindly loyal to the original work. Even if it is filmed, it will not have the spirit!"

"I never consider the combination of business and art when making movies. I think that is of no use at all. Good box office and good ratings are the most important."

Shen Xudong had a different opinion: "But times have changed. In the past, this could be changed. But now, Mr. Jin Yong has a large number of readers in mainland China. His most popular novels include The Condor Trilogy, Tian Long, Swordsman, and The Deer Cauldron, etc. The content of the book is well known to everyone. The unpopular Shujian, Jixue, Feihu, Xia Ke, etc., even if they were filmed, they would not be interested in it. "Dragon" is even more popular among the popular ones. If it is not filmed according to the original work, these readers will not satisfied!"

Mainland audiences know Jin Yong mostly from Huang Rihua's "Dragon", Jordan Chan's "The Deer and the Cauldron", Lu Songxian's "The Swordsman", Louis Koo's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"...

Hearing this, Wang Jing was very interested: "What about Gu Long?"

"Gu Long doesn't have that many book fans..." After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "I also agree with the darkening and counterattack of the big villain... The question is, how to do it? If you take the tragic route, it is best not to have too much comedy in the early stage …”

"why not?"

“The style is not uniform…”

"Don't talk to me about style... When I wrote the martial arts script, you weren't even born yet!"

This is true. Wang Jing started working as a screenwriter in 1976. He has done "Lu Xiaofeng" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang"...

Speaking of this, Wang Jing looked at Shen Xudong and said, "How about this, I'll come up with 40 episodes of scripts in two weeks with you?"

"...No, I still have a drama in hand..."
