Three months later, with the assistance of various families and systems, Chen Mo successfully completed the script of "A Hundred Years' Family".

At the same time, the news that Xingguang Film and Television will cooperate with the imperial court to film the Ming Dynasty 660 National Day drama is also spreading wildly in the entertainment circle.

The bosses of major film and television companies and brokerage companies, domestic first-line superstars who have friendship with Chen Mo or feel that they can gain friendship, all called Yang Qindong and Chen Mo's mobile phones.Even Li Zhaoxi, Chen Yuxiu and others who were filming "The Eighth Treasure" abroad did not forget to call back to find out the news.Even Yuan Haobin, Ji Ze and other shareholders of the company were entangled.

Although there are too many monks, there is no denying that everyone wants to get a share of this matter.

They still remember the sensational effect that "Food Color" caused around the world when it was broadcast.Now that "A Family of Hundred Years" is going to be filmed, or with the support of the imperial court to film the National Day drama, this drama must be a better resource than "Food Color" in terms of script quality and investment cost.

Therefore, not only the first brothers and sisters of major companies asked about the roles, but even many second-tier and third-tier and even the principals of major film academies came to ask if they needed supporting roles or even extras.

However, when Chen Mo was writing the script, who would play which role, he probably had a draft in mind.In addition, "Hundred Years Family" is a large group drama that describes the historical changes of China in the past [-] years. The main actors are divided into three generations, old, middle and young, let alone other supporting actors, so more people are needed.

It was as if a great white shark rampantly stirred up the sea water, and the entertainment circle, which was originally not peaceful, instantly exploded into a frying pan.

At the beginning of August, the members of the Mu family who had traveled all over the country and the Chen family returned to Huajing from Nanhai by plane. Before Chen Mo could go home and take a break, Yang Qindong took them back to the company.

"You are probably the only director in the circle who just announced that he is going to shoot a new film. You didn't even show the script to everyone, so let countless movie stars and queens compete to recommend themselves." Yang Qindong raised the list in Yang's hand: "So far, there have been no less than a dozen film kings and queens who have called to ask for news. I have blocked you for so long, so you should show me the script, right?"

Chen Mo smiled, and handed the freshly baked notebook to Yang Qindong.

Yang Qindong took it with one hand, and couldn't wait to look through it.

The plot of "Hundred Years Family" fits its name very well. It is really a TV series describing the changes of China in a hundred years.In the script, Chen Mo fabricated four great families: Wang's family, a millionaire salt merchant in the capital; Home, the Yao family of Empress Dowager Xiaoxian's natal family.

In 1900 A.D., China, with a history of thousands of years, had passed through more than 500 springs and autumns safely under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.The once glorious dynasty is gradually decaying, but after the second industrial revolution, the western countries have completed the transformation from the productive forces to the ruling class.

Those western barbarians who have accumulated primitive wealth through colonial plunder are no longer satisfied with their immediate interests. They set their sights on the ancient east, which is far away from the ocean and is full of gold in many travel records.

They tried to open the gate of China with strong ships and sharp guns, but they were hit hard by the Ming Navy in the China Sea. After losing many lives and ships, they had to return home.

In view of the powerful military power of the Ming Dynasty, these countries did not dare to make aggressive moves. They sent missionaries to enter China as envoys, met the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, implored him to open trade, and sent caravans in Yangzhou, Quanzhou, Shanghai and other places conduct trade exchanges, selling their country's exquisite machines, including gadgets and even large machines, to the East, and then exchange them for the unbelievably exquisite silk porcelain tea jewelry and so on.

Under the impact of powerful technology, the conservative Chinese market is facing a huge impact.The big salt merchants and Huizhou merchants who were driven by interests ordered their spokespersons in the court to advocate reform.The conservatives, represented by Chief Minister Yang Xiu, do not agree with those ideas of "competing with the people for profit".However, the main combat factions headed by the military are very interested in the strong ships and guns of Western countries.

Under the impact of powerful technology and interests, people's hearts are even more eager to change.The first to bear the brunt are merchants from all walks of life.

At the beginning of the story, the Wang family, a great salt merchant, wanted to do business with foreigners in England and bought a hundred spinning jenny machines to replace the weavers in the workshop.

A large number of weavers were forced to lose the jobs they depended on for a living, causing panic in the south of the Yangtze River.Some Shilin students pleaded for the people and blocked the door of Wang's house, but they were taken down by the Wang's newspaper officer; It ruined the living people and delayed the court's tax revenue.Therefore, some officials proposed to change water transportation from river transportation to sea transportation, and at the same time purchase steam ships with faster shipping speed from Western countries, and even hired foreign craftsmen to build ships at Huaxia Shipyard with a lot of money.

And Zhao Mengsan, the first-generation protagonist of "A Hundred Years' Family", is a clerk in a foreign goods store under the Wang family of the great salt merchant.His mother is a weaver in Wang's embroidery village, relying on her handicraft to support the family.But because the boss purchased a large number of spinning jenny machines, Zhao Mengsan's mother and widowed wife were forced to lose their jobs.This made Zhao's situation even more difficult.

The script takes Zhao Mengsan's family as the starting point, and gradually introduces the audience to a vibrant but prosperous Ming Dynasty a hundred years ago.The turbulence brought about by the country's productivity, the collision between the reformists and the conservatives, the royal relatives, officials, officials, businessmen, merchants, ordinary people were all involved in this force, either drifting with the tide, or riding the wind and waves.

Different from the surprising and ingenious arrangement of "Food and Color" in the plot, "A Hundred Years of Family" is more open and straightforward in terms of narrative techniques, but the charm of the script is not inferior at all, especially those who are involved in shopping malls and officialdom. The classic case of the classic case, the subtlety of the relationship between officials and businessmen, sometimes just a few lines of lines can directly hit people's hearts.Concise and concise, to the point, everywhere reveals the implicit Confucianism of the mean, and interspersed with the customs of various countries, it is even more fascinating.And the family, love, friendship, and even the national conditions under the entanglement of interests are also endowed with the unique charm of that era, which is really amazing.

Yang Qindong secretly savored Chen Mo's script, because it was too big, obviously he couldn't finish it in a short time.Yang Qindong couldn't let Chen Mo stay on the sidelines, so he reluctantly put down the script and said to Chen Mo: "Although Zhao Mengsan is the male lead, his roles are not too many. Generally speaking, this should be a group play .”

Chen Mo smiled slightly: "There are too many things I want to write, and there is really no way."

If it wasn't for the sake of fully reflecting the history of the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, he would not divide the script into three parts to write. Even if he tried his best to concentrate the essence and discard all dispensable details, the entire TV series would cost seventy percent according to the budget of the script. Set around.The span of actors includes three generations of old, middle-aged and young, plus the actors of the older generation when they were young, it is estimated that after the whole drama, there will be more than a hundred people just by counting their names.

"The script is really exciting, the content is detailed and textual, the plot is full of ups and downs, the most important thing is that there is absolutely no worry about investment, and many actors and actresses and veteran actors want to join the group...you are going to heaven! Yang Qindong knocked on the table with his fingers, smiled and said: "Have you considered who the actors should invite?"

"I attached the cast list at the end of the script." Chen Mo pointed to the script and said, "I just don't know if everyone will give this face."

Yang Qindong raised his eyebrows, and turned to the last page. After seeing the cast... Even if he felt prepared, he had to be shocked.Looking at Chen Mo in astonishment, he said, "You, are you going to sweep the entertainment circle all at once?"

In the script, there are three generations of old, middle-aged and young actors, but in reality, it is probably about the same. Excluding those small fresh meat and small actresses who do not match the style of the script, even if all the actors of the third generation are selected by audition, this list is scary enough .

"Do we have this salary budget?" Or in other words, will the Ministry of Rites agree to hire so many first-tier and second-tier artists to participate in TV dramas?

"This is just the most ideal state in my mind. It is not certain whether they agree or not. Of course, the issue of actors' remuneration must not be sloppy. If possible, Starlight Film and Television will also participate in the investment."

Chen Mo said solemnly: "I'm going to invite these people to get together first. Let's sit down and have a meal and chat. What do you think?"

Yang Qindong shook his head dumbfounded, and soon his face was full of excitement. He clenched his left hand and hammered the palm of his right hand. He couldn't sit still and walked up and down the office, saying: "No matter what, I will give these Make a phone call. Chen Mo, do you know that if your list gets out, it will definitely cause a big explosion in the entertainment circle."

"In China's entertainment circle, there has never been a film and television work that can include so many old actors and actresses."

On the one hand, the investment cost does not allow it, and on the other hand, those superstars and veteran artists who cherish their feathers will not easily take over TV dramas.

"This is what I want. If there is no splash at all, then what is it called a National Day drama?" Chen Mo giggled, stood up and said, "The script has come out, and I have to send two copies to the Propaganda Department and the Rites Department." Let them review, I don't know if they are satisfied with this lineup. And those families who supported "Food Color" at the beginning, let me go and get another investment."

"I'll leave it to you to contact the actors. Look at everyone's schedule, it's best to make an appointment for an interview."

"Don't worry!" Yang Qindong gave a military salute to Chen Mo with great interest, and said with a smile: "I promise to complete the task!"
