Chapter 57 "The Story of the Cooking Class"

I was not in a hurry to contact Dongshantai in advance, and now Zuo Le wants to know more about whether Kongwen can accept the direction of his script creation.

The office of the head of the empty text

"Cook?"

Guo Xin screamed in surprise, then turned his head and glanced at Mei Jiangjiang, who was also a little shocked, and looked at Zuo Le and asked.

"Xiao Zuo, how did you come up with the idea of filming the theme of cooking soldiers?"

Although Kong Wen plans to shoot a sitcom, mainly reflecting the daily life of the army, Guo Xin's idea is to shoot an airplane or a ground air soldier, no matter how bad it is, it is also an ordinary officer and soldier.

Cooks?

He really never thought about it.

Zuo Le had already anticipated Guo Xin's question, and he had also thought about how to deal with the case in his heart, he pondered for a moment and slowly spoke.

"Guo Tuan, you also know that I have never been a soldier, and the reason why I wanted to shoot this military sitcom was because of my uncle.

My uncle was a soldier when he was young, and he was a cook soldier when he was in the army.

So, since I had the idea of making a military sitcom, my first thought was to make a story about a cooking soldier.

Moreover, as far as I personally think, if you simply shoot a certain branch of the army, it cannot well fully reflect the life of the officers and soldiers of the troops, and the cooking soldiers are all over the major troops, and they are the most representative branches of logistics and the most life-oriented and closest to the audience.

As far as military sitcoms are concerned, I don't think there's any other class of troops that is more suitable than the Cook........."

Zuo Le's words were very sincere, but the content of his words was true and false.

His uncle did serve as a soldier, and he was also a serious cooking soldier, and when he was a child, Zuo Le did often hear his uncle talk about things in the army, but to say that he was inspired to make a TV series because of this, it is complete nonsense.

What really made Zuo Le pay attention to the theme of cooking soldiers was because of the two "The Story of the Cooking Class" in his head.

Uncle or something, it's just a pretense.

Otherwise, how could he explain that he was a person who was not a soldier, why he made a sitcom about cooking soldiers for no reason.

However, although the original intention was because of the golden finger, the second half of what Zuo Le just said was indeed his true thoughts.

The plots of sitcoms are biased towards life, and the scene funds are limited, and the logistics troops are indeed more suitable for filming than the front-line troops, even if there is no "The Story of the Cooking Class" for Zuo Le's reference and let him be original, he will most likely choose the cooking soldiers.

And on this side, Guo Xin and Mei Jiang fell into silence together after listening to Zuo Le's words, especially Guo Xin, who was very touched.

He was persuaded by Zuo Le!

Although Kongwen is a art troupe, it is not that he has not participated in the production of TV dramas, and Guo Xin understands the attention and doorway in film and television dramas.

As soon as he listened to Zuo Le's words, he knew that Zuo Le must have studied the military sitcom very deeply, otherwise he would not have pinched the subject matter so accurately, and he didn't even have the idea of refuting it.

I've found the right person this time.

Guo Xin was very happy, he started early, if he was taken first by Lu Wen's people, he would not regret his death afterwards............

Inside the office

Guo Xin called several screenwriters in the group and pulled Zuo Le to discuss the outline of the specific script, and Zuo Le was also happy to communicate with them.

In fact, Zuo Le has preliminarily completed the script setting of the two "The Story of the Cooking Class" in the film and television device in his head, but Zuo Le has not started writing the specific plot for a long time.

There are two main reasons, one is that the background of the original TV series is too far from the era in which Zuo Le lives now, and the lives of officers and soldiers have also undergone great changes.

Second, some of the military policies in the original TV series, including the main theme of propaganda, are also different from those of Huaguo in this time and space.

This reason is very bad, Zuo Le is not familiar with these, and he doesn't dare to write nonsense, otherwise it is a trivial matter to write a wrong joke, if he accidentally steps on the thunder, he will have to eat melons for the whole TV series, including Zuo Le.

Zuo Le chose to cooperate with Kongwen, which is also a large part of the reason.

Because he alone could not complete the creation of the script of "The Story of the Cooking Class", Zuo Le needed the help of professional screenwriters in the army.

The temporary script discussion held by Guo Xin's office was a great success.

The screenwriter of Kongwen is worthy of being the literary and artistic elite of the army, and there is no need to say much about his professionalism, and after some discussion, he gave Zuo Le a lot of help.

In order to show his sincerity in the meeting, Zuo Le also gave a general introduction to the outline and setting of the script of "The Story of the Cooking Class" to the people in the empty text, Guo Xin was very tempted, and pulled Zuo Le to ask again and again, and the enthusiasm of his attitude almost made a decision with Zuo Le directly.

However, Guo Xin didn't let Zuo Le wait long, after sending Zuo Le away that day, Kongwen immediately held a meeting and passed the decision to set up the project "The Story of the Cooking Class" with a high vote, and the next day, Guo Xin personally came to Zuo Le and contacted Chen Changshan, intending to "second" Zuo Le.

As Zuo Le said before, Kongwen and Dongshantai are two completely different units, and there is no substantive competition between them, although Chen Changshan was a little stunned that Zuo Le wanted to shoot a military-themed sitcom, but he still agreed very happily.

However, Chen Changshan also made two requests with Guo Xin.

First, Dongshan Terrace wants to invest in "The Story of the Cooking Class", and the two companies will each invest half of it, and they are both producers of this drama.

Second, the TV broadcast platform of "The Story of the Cooking Class" must choose Dongshan Satellite TV, of course, if this matter causes economic losses to Kongwen, Dongshan TV can compensate.

These two requirements are not excessive, Kong Wen himself filmed this TV series, not for money, but more for the political purpose of the 70th anniversary of the formation of the army, Guo Xin thought about it a little, and agreed to Chen Changshan's two requests.

The leaders of the two families nodded, and the matter was preliminarily decided.

When Dongshantai sends a special person to come, the two sides will formally sign a cooperation contract.

The two bigwigs negotiated, Zuo Le didn't say a word next to him, and only when the dust settled, he smiled like a relieved man.

For the result, Zuo Le is quite satisfied.

Dongshantai participates in the investment, and with the owner as a backer, he will have more say when he cooperates with Kongwen, which is very important to Zuo Le, a director.

On September 10th, Zuo Le took the letter issued by Kongwen to end his study career at the CCTV study meeting, and then came to Kongwen Art Center with his luggage.

The next day, with the help of Guo Xin, Zuo Le set up a three-person screenwriting team to be responsible for the script creation of "The Story of the Cooking Class".

The three screenwriters have their own duties, and Zuo Le is the team leader, responsible for the overall control of the script, as well as jokes, plot and character building

Screenwriter Chen Run, in addition to assisting Zuo Le to complete the above-mentioned plot writing, also has to indoctrinate and publicize the main theme of the script.

Zuo Le has high requirements in this regard, he hopes that Chen Run will integrate the main theme into the plot as naturally as possible, and not preach bluntly, this is undoubtedly a difficult problem, which makes Chen Run so sad that he loses his hair every day when writing the script.

A screenwriter, Shang Qianwu, is a screenwriter who has just been brought up from below, who knows very well the lives of officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, and is specially responsible for the plot of the details of the life of the troops.

Just when Zuo Le, who forgot to sleep and eat, and Chen and Shang were writing the script, the 10th National Day holiday was coming, and "No. 2 Traffic Station" was also broadcast as scheduled.........
