Chapter 29 The Four Sons of Whampoa

Qiao Feng finally ended the filming of the rest of "Happy Run".

"I can finally catch my breath. Lying on the couch, he complained, "The whole person is spinning like a spinning top, and I am tired to death." ”

In the program team, he is not only a screenwriter, but also communicates all kinds of emergencies to deal with.

Of course, as a newcomer, he consciously took on a lot of chores.

Lin Qirong shook his head, "Don't sell miserably here, if you get cheap, you still sell well?"

The work of the editorial department is very leisurely, and there is no pressure, don't you want to do it?

How can a program like "Happy Run", which is the main star of variety shows in the station, not be busy?

Besides, it's because Director Hong can afford you that he will give you so many opportunities to exercise, right?

How's that? ”

Qiao Feng knew that it was useless to play this kind of trick in front of Lin Qirong, so he sat up from the sofa and said with a smile on his eyebrows.

"Don't say it, it's really beneficial.

Maybe it's because I know how to do it, and I get along with everyone quite well, even a few big stars have frequent communication.

Don't you always emphasize the importance of networking? Now I'm trying to expand my network.

The most important thing is that I have participated in almost all aspects of the work, and I have an intuitive understanding of the whole process of the production of a variety show. ”

Lin Yitong looked at Uncle Qiao Feng, who changed his face super quickly, and giggled happily.

Lin Qirong touched her head and smiled with Qiao Feng, "This is the biggest advantage of this program group, and it is also the biggest reason why you want to join by all means." ”

Lin Qirong understood what he meant, to produce a show, involving all aspects, pre-planning and preparation, manpower and material mobilization, personnel communication and coordination, full control of the filming process, post-editing and publicity, etc., is not an easy task.

If you just want to be an ordinary staff member, you don't have to learn so much.

But for someone like Qiao Feng who dreams of making a show that fully embodies his ideas, it is too important to be familiar with these things.

After you are fully familiar with this set of processes, if you have the opportunity, you can set up a team by yourself, start your own show, and be the boss yourself.

This is the shortcut to the end of the country that is loved by the most capable and ambitious screenwriters and directors on TV stations.

It is more flexible than a step-by-step administrative promotion.

In his previous life, Lin Qirong also worked as a variety show screenwriter for a while, and he studied these things carefully, so he has a deep understanding of this.

However, there are too many competitors, and he doesn't have that kind of genius planning ability and strong support, so he can only be a small screenwriter in the end.

To be able to learn these things in such an ace variety show group, Qiao Feng is lucky enough.

Of course, this is also inseparable from his hard work and super communication skills.

"By the way, do you have a clue about the script for the next season?"

After being happy for a while, Qiao Feng and Lin Qirong asked.

Lin Qirong nodded, "There is a framework, but it will take a little time."

Didn't you just finish this season, so you're so far away from the next season, why are you in such a hurry?"

Qiao Feng shook his head, "Although it is still a long time, the preparation time this time is earlier, because it involves a lot of changes and even subversive changes, which naturally require careful planning."

According to what I heard, the program team tasted the sweetness from this season's solution to difficulties, and also wanted to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the staff in the station and make suggestions for the next season's program content together.

Director Hong said privately that this time he may consider cooperating with outside screenwriters to carry out drastic reforms to the framework of the program and introduce new models and new thinking.

The staff is also ready to make adjustments, all with the aim of making the show closer to the needs of the audience and keeping up with the needs of the market.

In addition to coming up with our own methods, we screenwriters can also find outside screenwriters to cooperate.

That's why I hope you come up with the script as soon as possible, otherwise those big screenwriters outside will join the competition, and if the program team is preconceived, you will be under great pressure. ”

Lin Qirong smiled, "It's okay, I'll take it out as soon as possible, I have enough confidence in my creativity." ”

"Me too, confident in your talent. ”

"But before I do, I need you to do me a favor. ”

Qiao Feng said, "What's the matter, as long as I can do it, it's no problem." ”

Lin Qirong took out a manuscript from the room and handed it to him, "Help me recommend a suitable investor." ”

"When did you get your new script?"

Qiao Feng looked at the name on it and asked in surprise.

Lin Qirong said with a smile, "You are working hard, I am not idle, while taking care of Tongtong, I also conceived this script, after all, I can't sit back and eat nothing." ”

"The first half of my life?"

Qiao Feng gently read out the name of the script, flipped through the script and read it carefully.

Soon his face turned bright.

"Ethics drama?"

Lin Qirong nodded, "To be precise, it is an urban ethics drama, which is different from a family ethics drama. ”

"That's also an ethical drama," Qiao Feng said with a smile, "It seems that you are very unhappy with He Yingying." ”

Lin Qirong shrugged, "The main purpose is to make money, but if I can make him unhappy, I will be happy to do so." ”

"Cow. Qiao Feng gave him a thumbs up and continued to look.

The more he looked at his face, the more surprised he became, but he was intoxicated by the plot and couldn't extricate himself.

Lin Qirong didn't interrupt him, played with Lin Yitong, and waited quietly for him to finish reading.

"You ...... this script"

Qiao Feng closed the script and exhaled heavily, his eyes full of horror.

"How's it going?"

"Why don't you do it?" Qiao Feng's surprised expression faded and he said excitedly.

"It's a huge impact on the current mainstream urban drama routine, and the audience will go crazy for it. ”

As a screenwriter, he easily saw the most important value of this script: authenticity.

It truly reflects real life, truly reflects human nature, and truly portrays vivid characters.

With a rich plot, plump characters, and an unexpected ending, as long as it is operated properly, there is no reason why this drama will not be successful.

"Your talent is amazing, so much better than before. ”

Lin Qirong touched Lin Yitong's hair lovingly, "Life will change a person, and it can also create a person, and when you experience more, you will naturally think more."

You know, I've been ghostwriting for a while, and the scripts produced by He Yingying's studio are basically family ethics dramas, and I had this idea when I wrote it, and then I had this script. ”

"That's great, but I guess if you're an investor or a producer, your favorite is these changes, right?

That's your idea, right?"

Qiao Feng pointed to the content behind the brackets in the script and said.

Lin Qirong nodded, knowing what he was talking about.

In this script, he added a new thing, that is, advertising placement.

In the previous life, advertising placement has become the most profitable method for film and television dramas.

How to implant advertisements as much as possible without affecting the overall quality of the TV series is something that every good screenwriter must consider.

In this script, he just uses parentheses more obviously to mark every place and detail that can be placed in the advertisement.

Investors and directors who get the script can see clearly where they can use vehicles, mobile phones, watches, food, drinks, clothing, online shopping websites, video platforms and other props, and they can arrange advertising placement according to these and make a lot of money easily.

How would they feel when they saw this? Qiao Feng could have imagined it.

Will there be investors and directors who don't want to make money? No.

So it is impossible for them to refuse such a script for a TV series that can make money.

Qiao Feng patted the script in his hand gently, "Originally, I wanted to help you recommend a medium investor, so there is not so much pressure on you."

But if you come up with such a good script, it is really difficult for ordinary investors and directors to produce it perfectly, and it is best to find powerful investors. ”

Lin Qirong said indifferently, "You know more people than me, you just decide, you won't let me suffer anyway, will you?"

"You're stressing me out like that. ”

Having said that, Qiao Feng did not show a trace of pressure.

"I thought of a person who happened to be friends with me, and although I hadn't seen him for a long time, it should give me a face.

He is mainly engaged in the entertainment industry, and he has a film and television investment company and a wide range of contacts, so he is the most suitable candidate. ”

"Who?"

"Have you heard of the fourth prince of Whampoa?"

Lin Qirong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know anything.

Qiao Feng said with a smile, "It's normal that you don't know, just like the four young people in Beijing, there has always been the title of the Four Sons of Huangpu here in Shanghai, which refers to the four young men who eat more openly and have more influence in Shanghai." ”

Lin Qirong's eyes froze, "Are those sons?"

Qiao Feng nodded and shook his head.

"The real sons of the high gate are disdainful of such a title, and it is even an insult to them, so they are not counted in it.

Generally, they are the children of rich families or some high-ranking people who do not do their jobs, and they have little influence in the real political circles.

But because of their identity, they still have a wide range of contacts and have a lot of influence in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

Doing business, especially in the entertainment industry, is their favorite thing to do, because it is fun and there are so many beautiful women in the entertainment industry. ”

Lin Qirong nodded, understanding what he meant.

For the real Gaomen, the four sons of Huangpu are not in the stream.

But for a small person like him, he is already a behemoth.

"The friend I introduced to you is one of the four sons of Huangpu, who has a lot of influence in the entertainment industry, and is a person who takes this career more seriously.

I think he's the best fit. ”

"I know, then please arrange it, if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, don't force it. ”

Qiao Feng grinned, "Don't worry, I still have a bit of face, when I make an appointment, you can go and meet him, and I will be responsible for helping you take Tongtong." ”

"Thank you!"
