The paper is ordinary A4 paper, and the normal price is 5 cents. The dpi of the Song fonts printed by laser is very high, each stroke is very clear, and the typesetting is also very regular and rigorous, which makes people feel comfortable when looking at it.
The outline of this script is almost 5,000 words, and it fills 5 sheets of paper. Whether it is paper or printing fees, the cost is completely negligible compared to the story itself.
As the business manager of Qiande Brothers Film Company, Lu Yi has written many scripts.
He deeply understands the value of a good script.
Lu Yi is one of the veterans of Qiande Brothers Film Company. He followed the two brothers Zhang Qian and Zhang De to conquer the world. He has made his way all the way to the present in the capital, a place where dragons and tigers dominate. His experience and vision are both extraordinary.
Missing.
The script Lu Chen gave him was called "Blue Love of Life and Death". Just by looking at the name, you can tell that it is an urban romance drama. Since Lu Chen is preparing to play the leading role himself, he must take the route of a youth idol.
The beginning of the story is very interesting. Two girls were switched at birth. Their fate will inevitably arouse strong interest from the audience.
Lu Yi, the business manager, naturally knows the company's business very well, due to the needs of his work. He has watched at least hundreds of movies and TV series, and I don't think the same plot has ever been filmed.
As a weekend drama, it has an attractive selling point at the beginning.
At present, the domestic film and television industry is developing extremely rapidly, and IP fever is still at a high fever. The great prosperity of the market has also brought about many problems, such as the repetition of old-fashioned themes, imitation and plagiarism, etc.
If a TV series becomes popular, imitators will inevitably flock in until a similar story and routine is completely ruined. The country’s intellectual property law does not have strict regulations on following the trend, and lacks restrictive means, so it can only be allowed to
The market regulates itself.
So having a good story idea is half the battle.
Lu Yi is quite optimistic about Lu Chen's story.
But as he continued reading, he soon understood why Zhu Minghe lacked interest in this script.
Sadomasochistic love!
This style can be said to go against the trend and challenge the audience's taste.
Generally speaking, if this kind of counter-current work is produced with high quality, it will either be a hit or a big hit!
The probability of the latter is much higher than the former.
It’s not like there are no film and television companies and directors who are trying to kill themselves. Basically, they can’t find success.
After so many years of development, the positioning and division of the TV drama market has become very clear.
The current youth idol dramas follow the lines of comedy, farce, and thunderous dramas.
If you want to make a sadistic story, then make a middle-aged drama!
If you want to cross the border, you must have the awareness to endure failure and lose everything.
After reading this outline carefully, Lu Yi felt a toothache.
The risk is too great. Filming this drama is like gambling. If you win, you can make a lot of money. If you lose, you can make a lot of money.
The reason why Lu Yi didn't give up immediately was that, first of all, it was a weekend drama. The cost was easy to control, and by filming and broadcasting at the same time, there would be no chance that no one would care about the results after filming dozens of episodes.
It's like writing an online novel, but the subscription is too poor. It can be finished in advance, but of course The Eunuch cannot.
In addition, the male protagonist Lu Chen is still very selling point.
Lu Chen clearly saw Manager Lu's confusion and said with a wry smile: "I know, this subject is difficult to shoot."
He also regrets that he did not have an in-depth understanding of the domestic film and television drama market before writing the script.
If I had known that this would happen, it would be better to write "My Love from the Star". The production cost might be much higher, but at least it would be easy to find collaborators.
However, the thought of regret only flashed through Lu Chen's mind. If no one was willing to bid, the worst he could do was invest the entire amount himself. Of course, such an approach would greatly increase the cost and risk, and it was the last resort.
Lu Yi said with a smile: "The subject matter is different and the story is really good. I think girls will like it."
After a pause, he asked: "Mr. Lu Chen, if our company cooperates with you, what are your requirements?"
Lu Yi just heard some of the conversation between Lu Chen and Zhu Minghe, but what he heard was not very clear.
Lu Chen thought for a while and replied: "The requirement is joint investment. I can convert the script and the remuneration into the shares. No additional payment is required. In addition, the heroine has been confirmed, and I hope to recommend a director.
Of course, the choice of director can be discussed again."
It is the most common way for multiple parties to jointly produce film and television dramas. Of course Lu Yi would not object. Lu Chen's conversion of scripts and remuneration into investments is also beneficial to the film and television production company and reduces investment risks.
It's just that Lu Chen didn't ask for the male lead, but also the female lead and the director.
He couldn't help but frown like Zhu Minghe and asked: "Mr. Lu Chen, which director would you like to recommend?"
Lu Chen said calmly: "Does Director Fang Hui know? She is the one I want to recommend."
Fang Hui is a well-known director in China. She is well-known in the industry for her expertise in filming movies and dramas that express the delicate emotions of women. She has also filmed many music videos and has extremely rich experience.
Compared to the real big names, she doesn't have any big-selling works, but her reputation has always been pretty good.
Last time Lu Chen and MSN shot the MV for "Not Yet Lovers", the director was Fang Hui.
The final result of this music video was excellent, and it was broadcast by Feishi Records in major media. That is why the album sold so well on Feixun Music, and the crowdfunding for CDs and peripherals is also in full swing.
It was through this cooperation that Lu Chen had a good impression of Fang Hui, and the two had had many exchanges. He believed that the latter could fully control the story and produce the effect he wanted.
Otherwise, why would Lu Chen insist on this condition?
"Director Fang Hui!"
Lu Yi suddenly realized: "I know her. Although I haven't worked with her before, I have watched her TV series."
Lu Yi thought about it carefully and found that Lu Chen's recommendation was not unreasonable. It was reliable.
Because Fang Hui's shooting style is very suitable for this "Blue Life and Death Love".
Lu Chen explained: "Actually, I haven't mentioned this matter to Director Fang, and I don't know if she has time, so I just recommend it. If you have a better candidate, we can discuss it."
He originally wanted to have a serious discussion with Zhu Minghe from Powerlong Pictures, but the other party didn't give him a chance at all.
Lu Yi seems more sincere.
Lu Yi smiled and said: "Okay, let's put this question aside for now. Who would you choose as the heroine?"
There is a rule in the film and television industry, that is, if the investment is the largest, the one who pays is the boss. Whoever pays the most money is the boss, and he must have the greatest say.
Lu Chen wants both a male lead and a female lead. First of all, he needs to invest, otherwise who would care about the script alone?
Lu Yi was very curious about this heroine choice.
Who is Lu Chen trying to support?
He has read the synopsis, and the heroine in the play is undoubtedly the most outstanding and central character.
If an artist like Lu Chen, who became famous at a young age and has money, wants to please a girl, what could be more romantic and more touching than letting her become the heroine of a TV series?
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Filia Chen."
"Filia Chen"
Lu Yi read the name subconsciously.
The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief on his face: "Which Filia Chen is it?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's the one you can think of."
Lu Yi was immediately stunned.
He is also a sophisticated person, and rarely loses his composure like this.
The news revealed by Lu Chen was really shocking.
Who is Filia Chen? She is a big shot in the industry with tens of millions of fans, and a music queen who has been in the music industry for more than ten years!
But Lu Yi soon came to his senses and was so happy that his face turned into chrysanthemums.
If he was only 20-30% sure about this TV series before, now it has increased to 70-80%.
Whether a TV series or a movie has celebrities joining the cast is completely different. Although Filia Chen is not an actor, she has made guest appearances in several blockbusters.
If what Lu Chen said is true, then this drama will be Filia Chen's first time as a heroine. The hype is there, at least there is no problem selling it, it's just about the price.
question.
With Filia Chen joining the cast, the biggest problem of "Blue Life and Death" has been weakened. As long as her fans can be attracted to watch, the ratings will be basically guaranteed.
She is equivalent to a heavy weight, enough to be the key to victory.
If Gande Brothers Film Company can take over the filming and production of this drama, it will be a great benefit.
Even losing money is not out of the question!
How could Zhu Minghe of Powerlong Pictures miss this opportunity?
The only answer is that the other party gave up without discussing this issue with Lu Chen.
Then Qiande Films is definitely not to be missed!
He really wanted to laugh out loud, no doubt grateful that he had enough patience and sincerity.
Lu Yiqiang suppressed his excitement and couldn't wait to say: "Mr. Lu Chen, on behalf of Qiande Pictures, I hope to have formal negotiations with you on the cooperation of "Blue Life and Death"!"
Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."
He found that he had really underestimated Filia Chen's influence. If he had said it when talking to Powerlong Pictures, Zhu Minghe's attitude would probably be different.
Of course, Lu Chen was just thinking about it.
Qiande Brothers Pictures may be a good choice——
