"My Love from the Star" is the third urban drama Lu Chen is preparing to shoot this year, and it is also the last part of his romantic romance trilogy. After filming, he will fully turn to his own martial arts IP drama.
The male and female protagonists of this TV series are still played by him and Filia Chen, which is considered a complete stage achievement.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Chen attaches more importance to this TV series than "Blue Life and Death" and "Full House". The budget is doubled compared to "Full House", mainly due to increased investment in special effects.
"My Love from the Star" has a certain science fiction color. The male protagonist is an alien with super powers and a long life. This special romantic drama is definitely very fresh in terms of genre.
Lu Chen dug out "My Love from the Star" from his memories in the dream world, hoping to create another ratings miracle.
But even with a world's memory wealth, Lu Chen would never just sit back and make money. He started writing the script of "My Love from the Star" when he was in Xiangjiang, and made considerable modifications based on the original work.
In particular, some bug settings and plots that have been criticized by the audience have greatly enriched the story and characters.
He has achieved success with the same approach in "Full House", and "My Love from the Star" is certainly no exception, and will do even better.
Lu Chen is planning to shoot 30 episodes of this TV series, adding a new story line and correspondingly increasing the number of characters in the series, which is both loyal to the original and higher than the original.
But as a result, Lu Chen's workload in writing scripts has greatly increased, and he likes to control the entire story by himself, so he never hires a team to create for himself like other big-name screenwriters do.
At this point, Lu Chen no longer has any requirements for money or fame. What he really pursues is a breakthrough in his career, so that he can maintain a steady stream of forward momentum.
Therefore, the script of "My Love from the Star" has been written continuously for two months, and it has not yet been finalized. There are still many details that need to be perfected. However, there is an endless stream of people seeking cooperation, and the threshold is about to be crossed!
Among them, the most active ones are East Zhejiang Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV. The two satellite TV stations have tasted the sweetness of "Full House" and made a lot of advertising revenue. They are determined to win "My Love from the Star".
There are nearly 30 satellite TV stations across the country, and more than a dozen have contacted and negotiated with the original Lu Chen Studio. The others are not not interested, but they know that their capabilities are limited and do not participate in the competition.
Apart from East Zhejiang Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV, the most active and wealthy one is undoubtedly Huhai Satellite TV.
The price offered by Shanghai TV is higher than that of East Zhejiang TV and Beijing TV, so until now, Lu Chen has not officially finalized the partner of "My Love from the Star".
But this does not affect the creation of the script.
Ta! Ta!
A gentle knock on the door woke Lu Chen out of his creative state.
At this time, he noticed that it was almost dark outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and the lights turned on at some point in the room.
"Are you still writing?"
It was Lu Xi who knocked on the door. She said in surprise: "You have been sitting in front of the computer for four or five hours!"
So long?
Lu Chen saved the document, stood up and stretched his muscles. Sure enough, he found that his hands and feet were a little sore after sitting for too long.
Lu Xi smiled and said, "You must be hungry, right? Come on, let's go have dinner. Someone will pay the bill tonight."
"ah?"
Lu Chen was curious: "Who is it?"
Lu Xi blinked: "What do you think?"
Lu Chen rubbed his nose and smiled bitterly: "How could I guess this? Is Fei'er back?"
After the establishment of Chenfei Media, Chen Fei'er, as the "proprietress", was even busier than Lu Chen. She went to Shanghai to shoot a commercial a few days ago, and it was almost time to come back.
As for the others, Lu Chen really couldn't think of them.
It's not that he is bragging. In the circle of Beijing, there are hundreds of thousands of people who want to invite him to dinner. There is no problem in casually inviting him to a few hundred, and they will not be unknown people.
"Just remember your wife!"
Lu Xi rolled his eyes at him and took the initiative to reveal the answer to the mystery: "No need for you to guess. The name of the guest is Wan Jinping."
"Wan Jinping?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but frown: "This name sounds a bit familiar!"
Lu Xi reminded: "He is the general manager of Hongwen Agency."
Lu Chen's memory suddenly revived, and he knew what kind of person Wan Jinping was.
In the entertainment circle of Beijing, Wan Jinping is really a figure!
His reputation in the media is not big, it can even be said to be very small. His name is rarely seen in entertainment gossip news, as if he is an inconspicuous little character.
But people who are familiar with Wan Jinping will never regard him as an ordinary person!
The first time Lu Chen heard the name Wan Jinping was when he was chatting with Sister Li while having dinner. At that time, Sister Li mentioned that there was such a person, who was extremely smart and well-connected in the circle and very well-connected.
Although Wan Jinping runs a brokerage company, he is actually a high-level broker, mainly connecting investors and producers, and he is very good at playing both sides.
For example, if a wealthy coal boss suddenly wants to make a movie or TV series and wants to praise his Xiaomi, but he doesn't know anything about the industry, then he has found the right person in Wan Jinping.
As long as he has money, Wan Jinping can quickly build a decent crew in the capital, hire a second- and third-tier director to direct, and produce a TV series with more than ten episodes in two or three months.
Or movies, which are broadcast on TV stations and theaters through relationships.
If necessary, he can also help hire a group of Internet promoters and media reporters to hype and publicize, and a new celebrity in the entertainment industry will rise!
Wan Jinping's path is very wild. Not only private individuals but also government agencies are helping him set up connections. He is involved in all kinds of religions, but he is rarely exposed to the public eye, and few people outside the circle know of his existence.
Such a sophisticated person suddenly invited him to dinner, which made Lu Chen wary.
"Do you know anything?"
Lu Xi shook his head: "I just don't know, so I went to take a look. He said it was a good thing on the phone, haha."
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of my sister's lips.
Night owls come into the house for whatever reason. Lu Chen is not afraid of Wan Jinping, but since Lu Xi has agreed, he also wants to see what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd!
"Then let's go!"
Lu Chen picked up the coat that was placed on the chair, put it on and said with a smile: "It feels like going to the Hongmen Banquet!"
Sister, hehe. ——
