Although the past and present lives are combined, this is the first drama directed by Li Qian independently, to be honest, he will be a little worried in his heart, but his confidence in himself surpasses that of all others.

Even if it's Feng Yumin, the head coffee in the TV circle!

He has seen the most classic version of this play, and even watched it five or eight times before and after, although the time and space are different, the era is different, and the classic version cannot be copied in its entirety, but it is definitely the best reference standard!

And this advantage is something that even the best directors other than him will not have.

Moreover, more than ten years of crew career in his previous life and two years of professional study in this life made him believe that he had done the necessary professional accumulation and could challenge this project!

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, he smiled at Feng Yumin, who was full of expectation, and said seriously: "Teacher Feng, I understand what you mean, and I also know that you are for my good and for the good of this play." However, I have been thinking about this play, this script for two or three years, and I even went to film school to make it well, so I must shoot it myself!"

As he spoke, he picked up the backpack he always carried with him, opened it, pulled out a thick pile of materials from it, handed it over, and said calmly: "I know that I have no experience, and you must not have confidence in me, but I would like to ask you to take a look at this first." ”

After a pause, he waited for Feng Yumin to take it, and then showed the surprised look he expected, and then he said: "This is a sub-shot drawn by my own hand, there are a total of thirty-two episodes, each episode has one, and this is part of it." ”

…………

A day later.

Minghu Culture, Music Director's Office.

In addition to the two scripts on the coffee table, there is also a thick stack of storyboard manuscript paper.

Yu Bojun and Cao Zhan were holding a copy. Dumbfounded.

After watching the three MVs produced by Li Qian in the morning, they were taken to their office by Li Qian, a total of 32 episodes of the TV series script of "The Legend of the New White Lady", they read it in one breath and saw it directly in the afternoon, and even lunch was eaten in Li Qian's office. Cao Zhan is okay, he is idle at the moment, Yu Bojun is busy with the post-editing of "Green Onion Love", and he has been very busy recently, but with this script in his hand, both of them are very devoted, Yu Bojun has been immersed in it since he saw the first page, and he was in a hurry to leave. I don't mention it anymore.

After reading it, the two of them unanimously admitted: This is a good book, this is a good story!

However, even though they are Li Qian's best friends and iron buddies, they still directly oppose Li Qian's investment in and direct this TV series himself - the reason is almost the same as Feng Yumin!

Frankly, it has nothing to do with the script. At that time, Li Qian was an absolute bull in the music circle. But in the film and television industry, it is doubtful whether he has already entered the industry!

At this time, he suddenly proposed to invest more than 20 million, or even 30 million, to personally produce and direct a TV series...... The better the friend, the more direct the opposition!

Feng Yumin will also propose a feasible path. suggested that Li Qian co-produce with Huaxia TV, but Cao Zhan and Yu Bojun directly expressed their opposition here: This script can be sold, and it can be kept for later filming. Or simply spend money to find someone to shoot, if it works well, it is not completely impossible, but it must not be filmed by Li Qian!

In particular, we must not pull the production cost to a high level of twenty or thirty million at once!

That's just a rush to lose money!

Yu Bojun and Cao Zhan, of course, are not the masters who lack money, but having money is one thing, investment is another, to a certain extent, the more people from a family, the more they will clearly distinguish the cost of eating, drinking and having fun and the cost of investment!

Eating, drinking, and having fun is the cost of living, consumption, and you are not short of money, so of course how comfortable and how to come, but investment, even if it is a million-level investment, needs to be cautious and cautious - only if you respect money, money will respect you!

In the art industry, it's always about people!

A good director can directly shoot an ordinary drama with excitement, and a bad director can also directly shoot a good script that is favored by everyone into a lump of soaring!

The importance of a director to a film or TV series, especially to a producer, is infinitely stronger than the importance of a producer to a music album – second only to a singer to an album!

Li Qian is not short of money in his hands, and Yu Bojun and Cao Zhan also know that he is not short of money.

Last year's two albums, two MVs, this year's "Fake Monk" and "Woman Flower", they were all big hits, conservatively speaking, so far, the five albums that have been listed by Minghu Culture, even if you remove He Runqing's current one, the remaining four, each of which is enough to bring 20 million level pure profits to Minghu Culture.

What's more, although Feixun Company has undergone another share expansion, Li Qian is still the largest individual shareholder of Feixun Company, and each of those stocks is now worth the same price as gold, and this small company, which was not very conspicuous two years ago, is still growing rapidly all the time, and now, ordinary people have no chance to buy shares! In the foreseeable future, those stocks in Li Qian's hands are definitely a huge asset!

Therefore, it is only twenty or thirty million, if Li Qian wants to buy a villa, whether it is Cao Zhan or Yu Bojun, he must not say a word - he is rich, enjoy life, this is irrefutable.

But investing, especially in TV series, is obviously a different matter!

So, seeing that after waiting for a few hours, the two of them almost unanimously objected, and were forced to be helpless, Li Qian opened his filing cabinet and put a stack of hand-drawn shots drawn by himself in the past two years on the coffee table, "Look, each one was drawn by my own hand." ”

Li Qian's painting ability has been mercilessly ridiculed by Zhou Yan many times, so if you really want to say how skillful and talented these sub-scenes he painted, it must be a joke and a sycophant.

But the story of these 32 episodes, with an average of about 40 to 50 storyboards per episode, adds up to more than 1,300 and a thick stack, but they are indeed drawn by Li Qian himself one by one. I can't talk about art, but its intentions are all in every stroke and every line.

Seeing this thick stack of sub-shots, Yu Bojun and Cao Zhan were already dumbfounded, and when they heard that all of them were drawn by Li Qian himself, the two of them were even more confused. And when one of them grabbed a volume and opened it to look at a few pages, it looked like they had been struck by lightning-

"Are you sure you're going to make a TV series?" asked Yu Bojun.

Cao Zhan also raised his head and looked at Li Qian with surprise on his face.

Li Qian crossed the five fingers of his right hand, pressed firmly on the stack of storyboard scripts on the coffee table, and said sincerely: "I have been painting these things for a year and five months! ”

After a pause, he said, "I've been doing it very hard. ”

Cao Zhan and Yu Bojun turned their heads to look at each other in unison.

Then, Cao Zhan subconsciously reached out and touched the pocket on his chest - it was empty!

When he goes out, he usually takes two cigars with him, but today when he reads the script here and reads the excitement, he can't help but light the cigars, and by now, both have been reimbursed.

Fortunately, Li Qian secretly hid two boxes of cigarettes in his office, took them out at this time, and handed him one.

How can a cigarette be compared to a cigar, but at this time, there is better than nothing.

Cao Zhan took it, lit the lighter in Li Qian's hand, and smoked it deeply.

At this time, Yu Bojun had already randomly pulled out another copy from the large stack of storyboard scripts, opened it and read it - no matter which one he picked, of course he couldn't be wrong.

Not only are they all drawn by Li Qian's own handwriting, but even the shot number, the few minutes that appear in the final edited episode, how many seconds can be given to this shot during editing, and what kinds of attempts can be made when a certain shot is filmed, and the requirements for each attempt for the lens, etc., have all been marked!

The more Yu Bojun looked at it, the more speechless he became.

A TV series, 32 episodes long, each episode is about 45 minutes, and the prologue and ending are removed, which is also a 40-minute main drama, 32 episodes together are 1280 minutes, more than 21 hours!

21 hours, how many shots does it need?

No matter how difficult the TV series is compared with the movie, no matter how simple the shots are, it is still a solid 21 hours! How much work does it take to think about so many shots in advance?

This is more than 1,300 storyboard scripts...... Well, this kid actually painted for a year and a half!

That's a lot of effort!

You know, in the past year and a half, he didn't specialize in this thing, he wanted to make albums, write songs, take classes, learn opera, and have to talk to so many women about love plus piston sports...... He actually put so much energy into drawing the storyboard scripts of all the shots of the entire TV series!

After a pause, Yu Bojun put down the storyboard script booklet in his hand, looked at Li Qian helplessly, and said, "You kid is going to use the TV series as a movie!"

Hearing this, Cao Zhan turned his head to look at Yu Bojun, then at Li Qian, pointed to the storyboard script he had just put down on the coffee table, and said: "I have been in the screenwriter circle for more than ten years, and I know a lot of TV drama directors, but I seriously draw storyboards for TV dramas, Qian'er, you are the first!"

Li Qian smiled, shrugged, and then said, "Because I'm more serious than anyone else." ”

While speaking, he turned his head to look at Yu Bojun and said with a smile: "Actually, what Brother Yu said is not wrong, I am indeed ready to use this TV series as a movie!"

"Not only do I want to make ......," he said seriously, "but I also want to make a boutique!"
