Leaving professional problems to professional people to deal with has always been one of Zhang Wei's life creeds. So he made his first call to Liu Yuanyuan, in terms of filming TV series, among the people Zhang Wei knows, there is no one who knows how to operate better than Liu Yuanyuan.

After communicating with Liu Yuanyuan, Liu Yuanyuan meant to let Zhang Wei finalize the script first, and she would help Zhang Wei find a director according to the script, and then let the director make a budget, and then attract investment. After the funds are in place, the preparation of the crew and the selection of actors will be handed over to the director to do, Zhang Wei's studio can serve as the producer, and producer Liu Yuanyuan will also find an old qualification to serve. And on the phone, Liu Yuanyuan said that she can also find a way to attract investment.

Lo and behold, as long as you find the right person, sometimes what seems tricky can be solved with a phone call.

When Zhang Wei called, Zhang Shilan was on the side, so she watched the whole process, and she was also very excited to see that the matter of filming the TV series was decided like this. Now the studio is in a period of vigorous development, and as the actual person in charge of the studio, she certainly hopes to expand her business, accumulate experience and talents, and strive to become a hegemon in the entertainment industry.

Set the script, Zhang Wei and Zhang Shilan agreed on this matter to communicate with Huang Haibo, after all, this matter was caused by him, of course, they had to listen to other people's opinions.

In the afternoon, Huang Haibo came to Zhang Wei's studio by appointment, and the three of them sat in a small conference room to discuss.

Huang Haibo finally agreed to join Zhang Wei's studio, after this period of tempering, he knows that it is very important to find a strong backstage in the entertainment industry, and Zhang Wei can find out about him and Zhou Chengyong with a phone call, and he doesn't care about it, which shows that he has a deep background. In the future, if you can do your favorite acting career under such a big tree, you will definitely be able to avoid a lot of trouble, so Huang Haibo made the decision to join Zhang Wei's studio.

Zhang Wei was naturally happy about Huang Haibo's joining, and the two sides soon signed a contract, the terms of which were very lenient, and even allowed Huang Haibo to come and go freely, but he needed to say hello half a year in advance, so as not to disrupt the normal work arrangement. Huang Haibo has been in the entertainment industry for a short time, and he still knows what kind of contract the artist will sign with the agency or studio, so he is very moved by the contract content given by Zhang Wei, and he is even more convinced that his decision to join is correct.

The contract was finalized, and the three of them began to discuss the script in the conference room.

There are so many popular TV drama themes, campus dramas, idol dramas, life dramas, spy war dramas, military dramas, etc., all of which were vetoed by the three of them one by one, and after some discussion, the three finally decided to shoot an adventure-themed TV series.

Speaking of adventure TV series, thanks to the blessings of "Ba Sing" and "Third Uncle", TV series with the theme of tomb robbery have become popular in recent years, so to shoot such TV series, in terms of screenwriters, these two are Zhang Wei's first choice. However, these two are now in other companies, and I don't know if they are willing to cooperate with Zhang Wei's studio, so they can only ask Liu Yuanyuan to help test it first, but it really can't be done, and then make other plans.

Zhang Wei naturally wanted to find Liu Yuanyuan to go out of this matter, and the big guy's shot was really extraordinary, but two days, Zhang Shilan received a call from the shareholders of the film and television culture company to "Ba Sing", and the other party expressed his willingness to cooperate with Zhang Wei's studio on the script, hoping that the two sides could agree on a place and time to discuss in detail.

After that, the core direction of the script was determined.

The script is tentatively titled "Tianjiao Temple", and the background is set during the warlord melee of the Republic of China. The main line of the story is that the warlord Ma Bufang lost the battle, and he felt that his military strength was weak, but he was in a barren place and couldn't scavenge much oil and water, so he decided to follow Sun Dianying and dig up ancient tombs to raise funds, but the ancient tombs on the grassland were very rare, and he didn't have the ability to find them, so after many investigations, he kidnapped eight masters in this area.

Among these masters, Hu Guohua (Hu Bayi's grandfather), who lived on the shore of Dongting Lake, Hu Guohua had a lot of money in his early years, and later his family fell into the middle of the road, worshiping Sun Guofu, who was called "Yin and Yang Eye" by the Jianghu people, as a teacher, and learned the "Sixteen Characters Yin and Yang Feng Shui Secret Technique" and "Plum Blossom Easy Counting" two stunts, and lived by divination in his hometown on weekdays, but he also had the reputation of "Dragon Hunting Golden Hand" in the tomb robbery world, and his reputation was great, so he was the first to be tied up by Ma Bufang.

Among the other seven, two are scholars in the field of archaeology and three are masters of tomb robbing. People in the Ming period were still quite superstitious, in order to prevent any supernatural events, Ma Bufang also used force to coerce two celebrities who were very good at subduing demons and eliminating demons, namely Mao Zhen, the thirty-ninth generation descendant of Maoshan Patriarch, and Ma Zhenyi, the head of the Ma family, a family of demons in the northeast. This Mao Zhen and Ma Zhenyi, a man and a woman, are both in their early twenties, among which Mao Zhen has family secret skills, and is the best at subduing ghosts, spirits, zombies and other evil things, and has superb martial arts and extraordinary Taoism. And Ma Zhenyi is good at the Ma family's secret "please divine art", which can invite the power of the three worlds of heaven, earth and underworld to come to the body, and she also has a family martial arts body, and her skills are extraordinary, and it is not a problem to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

Originally, according to the ability of the two of them, ordinary people couldn't hold them, but both of them were people with big families, Ma Bufang threatened the lives of his family and fellow villagers, and Mao and Ma had to give in.

According to Ma Bufang's request, these eight soldiers with a special battalion will look for Genghis Khan's mausoleum in the vast grassland, and take out all the belongings and antiques that accompany him for money to buy weapons such as spears and cannons to strengthen himself.

And "Tianjiao Temple" is about the bizarre experience that these people encountered in the process of looking for Genghis Khan's mausoleum, this TV series is tentatively scheduled for thirty episodes, and there are only five actors currently set, Zhang Wei plays Mao Zhen, who is a relative of Maoshan, Huang Haibo plays the protagonist of this play, Hu Guohua, and the remaining three actors are all signed newcomers of Zhang Wei's studio, and they will get some important supporting roles in this play.

The script is in the process of intense creation, according to "Ba Sing", even if he doesn't eat or drink, he will take out the script within a month, and strive to let the show start filming in late summer and early autumn, so as not to delay the location shooting.

After finalizing the script, Zhang Wei and Zhang Shilan had a small disagreement in terms of attracting investment. According to Zhang Shilan's meaning, it is best that the studio does not pay money, and the investment is pulled from the outside, which will minimize the risk of the studio, while Zhang Wei feels that this TV series is best funded by the studio and himself, so as not to give other investors the opportunity to point fingers.

"Zhang Wei, attracting investment is the rule of the game in the industry, why did it change when you came here?" Zhang Shilan asked very dissatisfied.

Zhang Wei didn't want to give in on this matter, and said: "Others pull investment because of lack of money, and I am not short of money now, why let others get involved, I don't want our studio's first TV series to be full of advertising placement, and I don't want others to be actors and troublemakers at that time." ”

The two argued over this matter, and the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother said that the mother was reasonable, and there was a stalemate.

In the end, Huang Haibo, who was called to preside over justice, spoke, "Two bosses, it's too early for you to say this, let's wait for the script to come out first, take the script and invite the director of this drama, see how much money is expected, and then decide how much investment to pull, there is no need for you to fight for this now." ”

Hearing Huang Haibo say this, the two also reacted, it is indeed a bit early to say this, so this issue has been put on hold for the time being.

In a flash, three weeks passed.

Early in the morning of this day, Zhang Wei drove Zhang Shilan and Li Mo to the Chaoyang District Intermediate People's Court, today is the day when Ah Wei goes to court, as the prosecution, they don't have to be present, just have a lawyer, but as a victim, Zhang Wei of course wants to see the fate of this paparazzi.

When they arrived at the gate of the courthouse, they were surrounded by many reporters, and the three of them successfully drove the car to the courthouse with the help of security guards.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the court found Ah Wei guilty of four counts, and pronounced the verdict in court: Defendant Ah Wei was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment, stripped of his political rights for three years, confiscated his illegal gains, and fined 30.76 million yuan in accordance with the provisions of Articles 225, 246, and 274 of the Criminal Law.

After the verdict was pronounced, Ah Wei was not satisfied and appealed in court.

Although Ah Wei appealed, Zhang Wei knew that Ah Wei had squatted in the fifteen-year-old class, and he put this matter aside and stopped paying attention to it.

After about ten days, the script of "Tianjiao Temple" was finally created, and Zhang Wei still recruited Liu Yuanyuan, and Liu Yuanyuan also introduced Zhang Wei to three directors from other companies, who are said to have made great achievements in shooting this kind of theme.

After receiving a call from Liu Yuanyuan, the three directors were all interested in the script of "Tianjiao Temple", so Zhang Wei and Zhang Shilan contacted the three directors respectively to understand their views on the script, and finally decided to co-direct the play by Kong Sheng and Mo Long, both directors have had the experience of directing adventure and supernatural TV series alone, and there is nothing to say about experience.

After signing the contract with the company where the two directors worked, the two directors also showed their professionalism, after reading the script in detail, and having in-depth communication with the producer "Zhang Wei Studio", after fully understanding the requirements of the producer, the two directors gave a shooting budget of 130 million after some discussion, which included the actors' salaries, props, sets and so on.

The director finally gave the budget, and the disagreement between Zhang Wei and Zhang Shilan on whether to attract investment was highlighted again. After a "dragon fight", Zhang Wei finally succumbed to Zhang Shilan's "obscenity" and decided to attract investment, but Zhang Wei also put forward his own bottom line, advertising placement can be there, but it must not appear in the main drama, you can make an interval like "The Darkling" in the middle of the TV series, which is specially used to broadcast advertisements.

In fact, several things that happened in the next few days proved that Zhang Wei was thinking too much.
