Chapter 60 Is This Horse Called Low-key?
That's the case, the "Beijing News" in those years, in fact, is not only the "Beijing News", the entire media industry is not so respectful of the so-called entertainment celebrities, otherwise, Dou Wei would not have burned the car in anger!
Therefore, Wei Wuchang did not make an appointment in advance, and directly came to South Korea.
He held back his stomach and wanted to ask Shen Mengxi, but he never thought that Shen Mengxi didn't seem to have much time...
You can only follow him...
Shen Mengxi led a group of SBS people to his room, took out the outline of "The Temptation of Wife" and the script of the first twenty episodes, and said, "You can take a look at it!"
Wei Wuchang asked in a low voice, "What is this?"
"The script of the TV series I wrote is called "The Temptation of the Wife"..."
"What is the subject of 'The Temptation of a Wife'?"
"Family drama..."
Wei Wuchang was a little lost, he thought it was the Korean version of the "Instinct" series "The Temptation of Eve" type of work...
Think about it, Shen Mengxi has not yet fallen to the level of writing erotic scripts!
“... Why did you submit to Korea?"
"The screenwriting fee is higher here..."
This reason is lame, why was it given to SBS TV?
Because this TV series became popular in South Korea first, with the highest rating of 40.6%, beating the TV series broadcast at the same time!
Then it was valued by the great Taiwanese screenwriter Jian Yuanxin and adapted into "The Temptation of Going Home"...
Jian Yuanxin is really a big screenwriter, "The Eldest Man's Daughter-in-law" opened up Taiwan's eight-o'clock suspension drama, and then "True Love: A Million Brides", "A Million Brides' Love Without Regrets", and "Home and Everything", which makes people unable to find any logic...
The biggest feature of the suspension drama is that it is smelly and long!
At least eighty episodes of a casual drama...
The biggest feature of "The Temptation to Go Home" is that it is fast-paced and more violently drugged, so the ratings of the first episode are as high as 2%...
Why did Shen Mengxi make "The Temptation of Going Home"?
Make money!
Taiwanese can make money from suspension dramas, why can't Shen Mengxi?
Once, "The Temptation of a Wife" became popular in South Korea, it was another cultural export!
Wei Wuchang's eyes lit up: "Can you tell me about this drama?"
Shen Mengxi replied casually: "It's a TV series with Korean drama characteristics, including cheating, divorce, revenge, fox spirits, flowery husbands, revenge wives, etc..."
"You're going to write this kind of play?"
“... Didn't you say it, make money!"
Wei Wuchang felt that the conversation between the two of them was a bit of a chicken and duck, and was about to continue asking, when Xu Renhou next to him asked Shen Mengxi: "They want to know how many episodes of this complete script are?"
"You tell them that I'm going to write 120 episodes, and if the ratings are high after the broadcast, I can add up to 150 episodes!"
Xu Renhou translated, and a few people from SBS began to talk about it again...
......
“... We will discuss the specific cooperation agreement in detail later..."
After reaching a preliminary intention, Shen Mengxi sent away a group of SBS...
He never suspected that Korean TV couldn't watch "The Temptation of Wife", this thing was completely in accordance with the Korean drama routine, but if he had a little vision, he would definitely buy it...
Wei Wuchang was a little surprised: "So smooth?"
"It's okay, SBS is the only private TV station among the three major TV stations in South Korea, and they can see the value of the script if they have ratings pressure and don't raise waste. ”
"Then if the TV series starts filming, do you need to come to South Korea to keep an eye on it?"
"That's not necessary, I'll set up a company to take care of these things..."
"So, you're moving your career development center to South Korea?"
“... Of course not, but the scale of the Korean entertainment industry is indeed very large, and there are more opportunities. ”
Wei Wuchang's eyes lit up: "Does this have anything to do with Li Shaohong?"
"It doesn't matter much," Shen Mengxi rolled his eyes, is he so like a dragon slayer?
Hurry up one by one to make enemies for him!
"That..."
Before Wei Wuchang's question was finished, Xu Renhou led the producer of "Rose Red Lotus" to Shen Mengxi to discuss the filming later...
"Rose Red Lotus" has been launched...
Shen Mengxi immediately followed the producer to the crew, and said to Wei Wuchang before leaving: "Chen Liming is in the next room, if you have anything you want to ask, you can ask him..."
......
Tsk, Shen Mengxi's casual suggestion directly led to him not being able to keep a low profile even if he wanted to!
What is Chen Liming's character design?
Open one's big mouth!
Hobbies: Bragging.
A little bit of something can be said to be a flower!
When Wei Wuchang met Chen Liming, it was really a match.
Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like returning to an old friend!
I like to brag and I meet someone who likes to listen to people brag!
Chen Liming pointed out the demeanor of the country and said a few hundred words in one breath:
"The previous generation was able to have their achievements today, although there was a side of self-effort, but it was more given to them by the times, and the things of self-consciousness and introspection were not very strong, more passive, but their expressions resonated with the times. ”
"We young people have been conscious since we were in our teens and twenties, and we have not entered the mainstream and have not been recognized because we are not strong enough? No, it's just because we lack opportunities!"
"The current film environment is very bad, is it the fault of us young people? It's not because these famous directors who are in the center of power are incompetent!"
"The fifth-generation directors don't tell stories as a whole... To put it mildly, "Farewell My Concubine" and "Alive" have no original stories, can the movies still be watched? Without the blessing of the original authors, can they make good things?"
"Give me a Zhang Guorong, a Gu Changwei, and a reed, and I can also shoot "Farewell My Concubine"!"
"Mengxi has been a full-time contributor to "Watching Movies" and "Movie World" since his freshman year, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is just his letter and graffiti, because it sells well, it has been criticized by a bunch of experts and scholars, I really convince these scholars, what are you doing badly, why do you keep staring at other people's books?"
Wei Wuchang finally seized the opportunity and took the time to ask: "Then he said that he respects Director Li Shaohong..."
“... Low-key, we are newcomers now, and newcomers have to be low-key!"
"Then have you watched "Sister Love"?"
Chen Liming replied honestly: "I watched... I don't understand much..."
"Then what do you think compares to the original script..."
"There's no comparison, let me tell you, many of our big directors really don't care about telling stories well, they don't look down on storytelling movies in their hearts, and they think that they treat movies as TV... Therefore, although their blockbusters have a lot of investment and are star-studded, the movies themselves are neither literary nor commercial enough, and they are purely different!"
"I admit that the film itself is not a visual representation of the novel, and the story is only one of the elements of the film. But the problem is that the story is not well told, it is incomplete, who wants to watch your movie?"
"I always think that a good movie must first have a complete story structure, and then the rest of the things revolve around the story, of course the director has the right to change the script, but you have to have that strength, the script of "Rose Red Lotus" itself is already very complete, and you still blindly change it..."The biggest problem with "Sister Love" is that the story is not well told!"
It's all a flashpoint!
Wei Wuchang was so excited, he rarely met an interviewer whose every sentence was a breaking point!
