Chapter 19 Beijing Television Art Center

Beijing Television Art Center, established in 82, the name is quite lofty, but if you really want to talk about it, in fact, it is a grass station team, at the beginning of its establishment, from top to bottom, even the aunt who does sanitation and the uncle of the communication room are counted, there are only nine people in total.

Two years have passed, the life of the center is still not good, the leaders have changed several, the in-service, temporary employees are about to break 100, but today, this unit with TV drama production as its main task, in addition to translating a few foreign TV series, still has not officially opened, and has almost become a pension unit for the elderly in Beijing and Taiwan.

But since it was established under the banner of TV drama production, two years have passed, and there is no work of its own, isn't this nonsense.

At present, the director of the center has just taken office, and the previous Lu Xiaowei automatically applied to retire from the position of director, and then killed the front line of the director, the new one is quite courageous, Pu asked for 800,000 funds from the station as soon as he took the position, and the center also ushered in the first self-made TV series since its establishment more than two years ago, adapted from Mr. Lao She's book "Four Worlds in the Same Hall".

800,000 adaptation and filming of a famous work, it is unimaginable in later generations, the actor's salary alone is not enough, but in the present, all this is a fact.

For this work, the center is full of energy, and they are all looking forward to a good start, if it really happens, when the time comes, who in the stands will dare to chew their tongues.

But there is only such a TV series on the horse, and it obviously doesn't work out, the center is trying to support dozens of people, and because of the lack of achievements before, it has already made the station complain.

Li Hong, the director of the newly appointed center, is also anxious, there is no way, he can only mobilize his contacts to find a good book, but TV dramas in this era are still a new thing in China, basically they are produced by each TV station themselves, and the scripts are almost written while shooting, who can have a good script for them to keep!

Li Hong has been wondering whether to find another novel adaptation in the past two days, and suddenly received a call from Zhou Ling, in this regard, Li Hong is also full of differences, they didn't have much intersection before, Li Hong has been in charge of administrative work in the station before being transferred to the center, although Zhou Ling's organizational relationship is in the Beijing Television Art Center, but people are real cultural people, the Red Society is famous, and now people are in the crew of CCTV's key project "Dream of Red Mansions", how could they suddenly call.

Zhou Ling said the reason on the phone, Li Hong was immediately tempted, she was thinking about finding a notebook here, and someone actually sent it to the door, it seems that the center is really going to run in time.

On the same day, Zhou Ling personally sent the script of "Desire" to the center, and after taking over such a tome, Li Hong was also stunned, how many episodes do you have to shoot?

Nowadays, domestic TV dramas are still in their infancy, and the first TV series in the real sense is "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp" directed by Wang Fulin, but it is only nine episodes, and most of the rest are divided into upper, middle and lower.

"Teacher Zhou, this is what you wrote!?"

Zhou Ling smiled: "Director Li, I won't tell you, the crew of the Red Mansion is enough for me to be busy, so I still have the heart to write something else, this script was actually written by an actor from our crew, don't worry." ”

Seeing Li Hong's face change slightly, Zhou Ling hurriedly explained: "It's not a really good thing, and I won't send it to my mother's family, to be honest, at first I thought that the actor was joking with me, but after watching it, I dare to pack a ticket, this is definitely a good story!"

Hearing Zhou Ling say this, Li Hong was also a little curious, she knew Zhou Ling's level, if people didn't have some real materials, they could be transferred to the crew of the Red Mansion.

"Look at what you said, I can't believe you, so let's do it, what about this script, put me here first, and we'll study it here!"

Zhou Ling doesn't understand the production of TV series, but he also knows that if he wants to shoot the story of "Desire", he can't think about it without millions of dollars, and he can't help but be cautious with spending so much money on a newcomer's work.

"Okay, I won't stay longer, there's still a lot of things waiting over there, you study it first, and call me when the results are available!"

Zhou Ling left the phone number of the guest house and left.

Li Hong was bored in the office, reading the script, although she is not a scholar, but she can sit in the position of the director of the center, and the most basic appreciation ability is still there.

If she still had the intention of passing the time at the beginning, she didn't suffer a loss after watching it, but after she read the script for a few episodes, she was also deeply attracted like Zhou Ling.

Bang!

The knock on the door woke Li Hong up, and after rubbing her dry eyes, she realized that she had been watching for hours.

"Please come in!"

The door opened, and what walked in was a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face and a slightly fat body, if Yi Qing was also here, he would definitely be ashamed to see this, who let him rob other people's masterpieces.

That's right, this is Zhao Baogang, one of the screenwriters and directors of the original "Desire", and now Zhao Baogang is not yet thirty years old, and he has not been in the center for a long time.

Before Zhao Baogang entered the center, he was just a steel mill worker, and he was able to transform from an industrial worker to a cultural person all of a sudden, mainly thanks to Li Hong, his current girlfriend, his future wife Ding Xin and Li Hong are cousins, and the relationship has always been very good.

"Lao Zhao, what's wrong?"

"Four Worlds in the Same Hall" has started filming, Zhao Baogang is doing chores in the crew, and he also plays a role in the play, that is, the hated villain Qi Ruifeng.

It is said that it is the busy time, how can Zhao Baogang have time to come to the unit today?

"Director Lin asked me to come to the unit to pull the equipment, it's being installed over there, I don't take the time to see if the leader has the latest instructions!"

Because of the relationship between Ding Xin and Li Hong, Zhao Baogang spoke a little casually.

When Li Hong heard this, she couldn't help laughing, what idea Zhao Baogang made, she was clear in her heart, she was planning to find a script and start a new project, who didn't know about the whole center, these days, Zhao Baogang came to the unit when he was fine, not to find an opportunity.

Li Hong knew that Zhao Baogang had a big heart, and he would definitely not be satisfied with doing chores for the rest of his life, and acting was not his interest.

Li Hong still admires Zhao Baogang very much, although he is not from a professional class, but this person has a lot of ideas, he just tried to make him a crushing in the crew of "Four Worlds in the Same Hall", but the result is really the right person, at least Lin Ruwei has a very high evaluation of Zhao Baogang.

A director's evaluation of a drama is so high, which shows Zhao Baogang's ability.

As soon as Li Hong was about to speak, she saw Zhao Baogang staring at the script in her hand, and her eyes lit up, she really thought that this story was good, but what about others, it happened that Zhao Baogang was here, so he could also take the pulse.

"Lao Zhao, I just got a script, and Teacher Zhou Ling sent it, how about you take a look?"

Zhou Ling's name, Zhao Baogang naturally knew that although both of them were members of the center and their ages were about the same, compared with Zhou Ling, he was a small generation.

"Teacher Zhou's work, you have to take a look!"

Li Hong smiled and said: "You guessed wrong, it was sent by Teacher Zhou Ling, but it was not written by him, but by an actor from the Red Mansion crew." ”

Actors writing scripts?

Zhao Baogang was stunned, although he is also doing the work of an actor now, but it is only temporary, on the side of the center, his fixed position is a screenwriter, but he has never done the work of a screenwriter.

Thinking about it, his interest suddenly decreased greatly, but Li Hong handed it over, Zhao Baogang couldn't help but take it, thinking about coping with it, but after reading the script of a few episodes, he couldn't take his eyes off.

Li Hong waited patiently for a while, and saw that Zhao Baogang didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, and was just reading the script, so he quickly knocked on the table.

Zhao Baogang raised his head and looked at his expression, as if he was still complaining that Li Hong had disturbed him.

Seeing this, Li Hong said angrily: "Let you give an evaluation, why don't you look like it's over, seriously, what do you think?"

What do you think?

Needless to say!?

"Director, this script, our center must take it!"
