After sitting down again, Liu Jiang took the initiative to report without waiting for He Xin to speak: "The current post-production work of "Ready to Go" is almost complete, and now we will wait for the final soundtrack to be completed. China Film is preparing to schedule the release in September......"

After all, "Departure Now" is only a small-production comedy, and the schedule cannot be arranged in a prime time like summer or eleven, and Ning Hao's "Racing" has been scheduled to be released on September 30, and there is no reason for family competition for the same theme.

However, for Liu Jiang, he is already very satisfied that his debut film can be released. He has always been grateful for He Xin's original recommendation, and then he apologized again: "Teacher He, this time is really unfortunate, mainly because of the conflict of subject matter, if there is a place where I need to contribute next time, I will never shirk ......"

He Xin waved his hand and interrupted with a smile: "It's okay, Brother Liu, people can't stand without faith, you have already promised others, so naturally you have to talk and count." Anyway, this is over, let's talk about the new script you talked about on the phone. ”

"Oh. ”

Liu Jiang responded, and while taking out the script from his bag, he said embarrassedly: "This script was created long before the broadcast of "Latent", originally I wanted to shoot a book first, but at that time, "Latent" was too popular and didn't dare to take it out to show ugliness, so I started the project "Leave Now" first. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the script, and at the same time introduced: "Screenwriter Huang Ke graduated from Nortel's directing department and has been engaged in screenwriting. He has participated in screenwriting in "Years Like Water", "The Pink Family", "Heavenly Life Water", and "Golden Years". ”

"Oh, it's all the works of Mr. Huang Lei and director David Li. ”

He has heard of the name screenwriter Huang Ke, and the TV series introduced by Liu Jiang are quite popular. For example, "Like Water Flowing Years" and "Heaven and Life" are TV series written, directed and acted by Huang Lei, which shows that Mr. Huang Lei has long had the ambition to be a director. And "The Pink Family" and "Golden Years" are the screenwriters and directors of Jiang Qinqin's ex-boyfriend David Li.

In fact, the so-called Chinese opera Nortel dispute was not so clear at the beginning, like the era when the national teacher and Chen Dadao rose, the director and photographer were all from Nortel, but in terms of the choice of actors, Chinese opera and Nortel basically treated them equally, mainly depending on the actor's own image, acting skills, and fit with the play. In general, there are more actors who choose Chinese opera, such as Jiang Wen, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, etc.

But by the late 90s and early 2000s, Nortel began to form a small group of young directors, screenwriters, and actors. This small group is basically centered on Mr. Huang Lei, a very "little good man" at that time, Teng Huatao, Li Dawei and others from a family of directors, and a large number of young directors, screenwriters and actors from Nortel are united around it.

They relied on Nortel's self-contained system, and they were really beautiful at the beginning, and they always overpowered the Chinese opera, which in a sense also intensified the competition between the Chinese opera and Nortel.

Just like He Xin won the Best Newcomer in Berlin and the Golden Horse Best Actor at the beginning, the reason why Chinese opera attaches so much importance is largely due to this kind of competition, eager to absorb outstanding talents.

In addition to the above works directed by Huang Lei and Li Dawei, there are also "Double-sided Tape", "Wang Gui and Anna", and "Snail House" directed by Teng Huatao, and "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law", "Before Dawn", "Let's Get Married" and other popular dramas directed by Liu Jiang.

Huang Lei's students, such as Haiqing and Huang Haibo, all became popular because of this small group.

Now He Xin still knows more about this small group, because Cheng Qiang, a close director who has long cooperated with Xinhao Media, used to follow Tenghua, and Liu Jiang is still a peripheral member of this small group so far.

It's no wonder that he was surprised to see Jiang Qinqin and He Xin so close when he first entered the door. They Nortel are very good at internal digestion, just like when David Li won the school flower Jiang Qinqin, Huang Lei and Sun Li in one fell swoop, including himself, he also got along with Wang Tong in Nortel's advanced training class very early.

However, compared with the high-profile of Huang Lei, Li David and others, Liu Jiang was still an inconspicuous little person at that time, and it is no wonder that Jiang Qinqin, who used to be the school flower of Nortel and the ex-girlfriend of Li David, just met him today.

Of course, now because "Double-sided Tape" and "Wang Gui and Anna" have been taken by Xinhao Media, Tenghuatao has lost two important masterpieces, and this small group is not as bright as in the original time and space.

Regarding the name of screenwriter Huang Ke introduced by Liu Jiang, the reason why He Xin heard about it was because he heard Cheng Qiang mention it. It is said that this Huang Ke is very talented, and it is normal that he cannot become a director after graduating from the directing department, so grassroots people like Huang Ke have become screenwriters.

The reason why Nortel's small group has Huang Lei, Teng Huatao, and Li David as the core is because they are all from families, and the older generation needs connections and resources in the circle, and they also have certain abilities. But it's hard to say how much power you have.

For example, Cheng Qiang used to be mixed up with Tenghua set, although there will be a signature, but without exception, the signature is after Tenghua set. It stands to reason that out of classmate relations, Teng Huatao is already very kind, which is much better than those screenwriters and writers who do not have the right of authorship or can only be subservient to the assistant director.

But since Cheng Qiang cooperated with Xinhao Media, he has been in charge and has achieved great results repeatedly, and when he thinks back to the previous incident, although he doesn't say it, he will inevitably have some repercussions in his heart.

The same is true of Huang Ke's situation, obviously he wrote the script, but the final signature may fall into a secondary position.

Maybe even He Xin doesn't know that Ning Hao and Cheng Qiang, who are also from Nortel, have succeeded one after another, and Xinhao Media has made the grassroots who could only rely on that small group start to yearn for it. Just like this time, Liu Jiang took the initiative to take the script, in addition to returning the favor, he also wanted to take the initiative to get closer.

TV drama scripts are different from movie scripts, and the script of a 30-episode TV series has 300,000 or 400,000 words, which is equivalent to a part of the length of three volumes.

He Xin glanced at the cover of the script, titled "The Moment Before Dawn", author: Huang Ke.

Generally, when a film and television company examines a TV drama script, the first thing they look at is the synopsis of the story and the plot of the first episode. This is a bit like the so-called "golden three chapters" on the Internet, just to see if it can catch people's attention.

Then he opened it to see the synopsis of the story:

"In Shanghai in the autumn of 1948, in order to obtain the hidden plan of the Kuomintang, the underground party organization of the Communist Party of China led by 'sailor' Duan Haiping, with the secret help of Liu Xinjie, a member of the Communist Party of China who had been undercover for many years, fought wits and courage with the agents of the Eighth Intelligence Bureau of the Kuomintang headed by Tan Zhongshu, and launched a life-and-death struggle......"

When he saw the first line of words, he couldn't help laughing, what "The Moment Before Dawn" is clearly the legendary spy war benchmark work "Before Dawn" that can be compared with "Latent"!

He watched the first episode patiently and seriously, and the content was almost exactly the same as the plot in his memory. TV series are like this, whether a TV series is good or not, you can know it by looking at the script. After all, compared to movies, which are the art of directors, TV series rely on the plot to win.

"Well, the expression is quite novel, and it is completely different from "Latent". Brother Liu, this book is good, what do you mean ......" He Xin closed the script and asked.

Liu Jiang was very confident in this script, and said busily: "Of course I am very willing to cooperate with you." ”

"No problem, we voted for this project. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Jiang didn't expect He Xin to be so refreshing, according to the normal operation process, he should at least read the script in its entirety, and then do an internal evaluation or something.

"Brother Liu, in this way, after the matter here is over, I will ask Mr. Hu to contact you when I go back, and let's calculate the cost first. ”

"Uh...... Teacher He, don't you want to take a good look at it anymore?"

Although it was rumored that He Xin was famous for his good vision, Liu Jiang still asked in disbelief.

He Xin patted the script in his hand and smiled: "No problem, Teacher Huang Ke's water is obvious to all, and Brother Liu, if you can show me this book today, it means that you should also know it in your heart, so it's even more no problem." Oh yes, when are you going to start this book?"

"I want to wait until 'Ready to Go' comes out. ”2018

Liu Jiang still attaches great importance to his film debut.

"What about the characters? I just took a cursory look, and the main characters are probably the three of Shui Haiping, Liu Xinjie and Tan Zhongshu, right?"

Liu Jiang nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, to be exact, Liu Xinjie is the male number one." The script is to form an iron triangle of these three characters, and all the storylines revolve around this iron triangle......"

Liu Jiang is still the first to talk about the script, and he also emphasizes that the genre and purity of this book are relatively high.

Of course, He Xin knows this, compared to Yu Zecheng in "Latent", it is relatively easy to fight wits and courage with the stationmaster and Li Ya. Liu Xinjie in "Before Dawn" entered a state of high pressure and anxiety from the beginning. For example, the cause of death can be inferred through the chemical reaction of the drug, the approximate time of the photo taken by licking the photo with the tongue, and the clues collected by checking the suspect's domestic garbage, etc., as Liu Jiang said, the type and specialization are higher.

"Uh, Mr. He, in fact, I think you are the most suitable for the role of Liu Xinjie. After speaking, Liu Jiang was a little embarrassed to invite him.

"Me?"

To be honest, He Xin was quite excited at first, but after thinking about it, on the one hand, it was because he had already played Yu Zecheng, and now the role of Liu Xinjie is far less attractive than Yu Zecheng at the beginning, after all, they are all the same type of roles, and it is inevitable that the image will solidify if they play more.

On the other hand, the most important thing is the schedule mismatch, and he is now full of the drama "The Wind" in addition to "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life", which he is currently filming.

"I'll forget it, this year's schedule is full. If you can trust me, I'll help you recommend a suitable candidate when the time comes?"

Speaking of which, the original version of Wu Xiubo is still quite impressive, and this guy became popular all of a sudden by relying on this drama, and then started the road of a scumbag.

He Xin is not like a certain big guy surnamed Xu in another time and space, obviously he occupies Hai Dai, the fighter among the scumbags, and shamelessly scolds other scumbags, and then blocks or something.

However, this Lao Wu's character is really not very likable, especially in dealing with Xiao San, and his methods are indeed too vicious and ruthless, so it's better to think about it. Besides, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, of course, such a popular role should be left to his own brothers, such as the drama spirit Zhang Yi is quite suitable.

Although Liu Jiang was a little disappointed, he still said: "I think the candidate recommended by Teacher He must be very suitable." ”

"Oh, by the way, the name 'Moment Before Dawn', I think it might as well be called 'Before Dawn'!"

"Hey, 'Before Dawn', that's a good name!"

Liu Jiang's eyes suddenly lit up at this moment.

......

"Why did the boss come back? Hurry up and pick up, we should leave in a moment. ”

He Xin and Liu Jiang chatted quite speculatively about the script, until they received a call from Xiaodouding urging them, and they just came back.

"Isn't it still early, and besides, there is no red carpet today, so you don't have to be too formal, right?"

He Xin felt that the casual suit on his body was parked.

"Yo, boss, today's award ceremony is broadcast live on Shanghai Satellite TV, you are the face of our company, but you must not be sloppy. The dresses are ready, and you have to take care of your hairstyle, so don't grind. ”

"Cheng, then what is this, you continue, the script of Liu Jiang's new drama, I have already negotiated with him, you can follow up later. Oh yes, take a good look at other people's books, the script of the "The Wind" TV series can't be lower than this level. ”

He Xin threw the script he brought back to Xiaodouding, and at the same time did not forget to instruct. It's really a big gap between the TV series about "The Wind" and the popular "Before Dawn". Now that Xinhao Media is producing, the reputation of being a high-quality product has gradually begun to start, and he doesn't want to make a bad drama and smash the reputation that his company has worked so hard to build.

"Hey, it's all been negotiated, is it so hasty? Okay, I'll read it carefully. ”

Although Xiao Douding was a little surprised, she now has blind trust in her boss's vision for provoking.

Another gimmick of this year's Magnolia Award at the Shanghai TV Festival is that this year is the 50th anniversary of the birth of Chinese TV dramas. Moreover, during the TV Festival, the Chinese TV Drama Directors Working Committee was also established, and the highly respected director Chen Jialin was elected as the first president, Zheng Xiaolong, Hu Mei, Gao Xixi, and Tang Jili, a representative of Hong Kong and Taiwan, were elected vice presidents, and the secretary general was director Yan Jiangang from the China Opera Film and Television Center.

In addition, Zhang Guoli, Yang Yang, Zhang Xinjian and others were elected executive directors.

How can I say that? The members are basically from within the system, and they have a strong official flavor, but they are also very in line with Chinese characteristics.

At half past seven in the evening, the Magnolia Award Ceremony of the 14th Shanghai TV Festival officially began at the Oriental Art Center. Although the red carpet was canceled at today's awards ceremony, the scene was still very grand and enthusiastic, with celebrities dressed up to attend, theatrical performances, and the leaders of the local government sitting in the front row.

I have to say that the quality of the shortlisted works for this year's Magnolia Award is very high. The four TV series "Breaking through the Guandong", "Soldier Assault", "Latent", and "Golden Wedding" were all phenomenal works in the past. Like "Struggle" was only nominated for one Best Screenplay, the competition is not ordinarily fierce.

"The winner of the Best Actor Award at the 14th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Award is ......"

The bearded Zhang Jizhong, the guest of honor on the stage, opened the envelope and announced loudly, and then handed it to Tang Jili, another award presenter.

The newly elected vice president of the China TV Drama Directors Working Committee glanced around the several candidates in the audience with a smile before revealing the answer in awkward Mandarin:

"He Xin!"

"Whoa!"

Xiao Douding, Jiang Wei and others present at the scene were all relieved. After Lan Xiaolong, the screenwriter of "Soldier Assault", and Jiang Wenli, the heroine of "Golden Wedding", won the Best Screenplay and Best Actress awards, "Latent" finally won the first award in all five nominations.

Chang Jihong was especially excited, a brother and a sister under Haiyu Qianyi won the Emperor and Queen of this year's Magnolia Awards in one fell swoop, and completely suppressed Wang Jinghua.

Then the director of "Golden Wedding" Zheng Xiaolong won the best director.

"Golden Wedding" and "Soldier Assault" shared the silver award for the best TV series, which is the first time in the history of the Magnolia Awards that a double yolk egg has been opened.

In the end, "Latent" undisputedly won the gold award for the best TV series, becoming the biggest winner of the Magnolia Award at this year's Shanghai TV Festival.
