A week later, Duan Xu came to Chen Dahe's company with his new script. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Is this your new play?"

In Chen Dahe's office, Ma Xiaogang and Chen Dahe sat opposite Duan Xu, looking at the script on the table.

The expression on Duan Xu's face was very calm, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and he pointed to the script: "You two can take a look at it first." ”

Chen Ma and the two glanced at each other, and Chen Dahe took the lead in picking up the script and reading it.

"Bright Sword" is a main theme work that blends the art of war and legend. The protagonist Li Yunlong is a famous general who is committed to life, iron-boned and soft-hearted, heroic and dry, and has been fighting in blood and fire all his life. His creed in life is to know that he is dead, but he also wants the sword out of the sheath, which is called the bright sword. Even if it is sacrificed, it is only with the front chest to meet the bullet, not with the back. He told his children: soldiers shed blood without tears, they must have the courage to fight the enemy, and in the face of a strong enemy, they are not even allowed to wrinkle their eyebrows, and the sense of honor of soldiers is more important than life.

With the experience of the protagonist Li Yunlong as the main line, starting from his heroic resistance against the Japanese invaders in the northwest of Shanxi Province as the head of an independent regiment of our army, until he was forced to commit suicide, it tells his legendary life, and also reproduces the turbulent history of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Li Yunlong is the absolute protagonist of the novel, he has all the advantages of previous heroes: heroic and mighty, courageous, and resolute, at the same time, he is unruly, does not stick to form, and is a typical realist. Poor discipline and good at doing deviant things. lack of interest in politics and so on. He often regarded himself as uneducated, coarse, short-tempered, igniting a fire, and prone to swearing, both in military affairs and in life. To put it simply, this is a character with obvious shortcomings, both disadvantages and advantages.

Li Yunlong has no organization and discipline, violated military regulations three times, and was demoted three times. Replaced by an aura of invincibility, with the advent of the era of peace, those deviant characteristics became more and more prominent, his political views and the discourse of turbulent power were at odds with each other, he became a heap of shit that the times despised human because of his upright personality, his lifelong creed finally buried his life, and his last bright sword was actually the people's riot in which he fought bloodily to the death in exchange for a peaceful environment. The masses of the people, who have shared the sunshine of peace for 20 years, have not opened their eyes, but have been blinded by fanaticism and ignorance, and have participated in the activities of brutalizing Li Yunlong and other veteran revolutionary cadres.

After reading ......the script, Chen Dahe hesitated.

Duan Xu smiled: "What's the matter, Mr. Chen doesn't dare to invest?"

Chen Dahe smiled bitterly: "Teacher Xiaoduan, you are commanding my army." ”

Duan Xu didn't speak, just looked at Ma Xiaogang, it was obvious that this matter was not just his own business.

Ma Xiaogang stretched out his hand and took the script and read it, for him, the quality of the script of the TV series is more important, and it is useless to just listen to Chen Dahe's comments.

He didn't speak, Chen Dahe couldn't speak again, and the office was quiet again.

After a long time, Ma Xiaogang put down the script and looked at Duan Xu: "This scene is a bit big. ”

Duan Xu nodded: "That's right." ”

He doesn't deny this, after all, the original work of the play "Bright Sword" is actually very large, and in the script written by Duan Xu himself, the part about the turbulent era basically refers to the original work, and even expands some of it.

It's just that the script is written like this, but whether it can be filmed at that time depends on the intention of the director and producer.

"I mean, if you want to shoot, you can, but after the founding of the country, you can't shoot. Chen Dahe pondered for a moment and said to Duan Xu: "After all, we still have to worry about the impact. ”

Duan Xu frowned, wanting to say something, but he could only smile bitterly.

Even he had to admit that some things, no matter where they were, did exist, and they could not be changed by a small author.

We always say that the goal of striving is not to change the world, but to keep ourselves from being changed by the world, but in fact, in the face of the cruel social reality, each of us has made changes unconsciously.

"Not only are things not filmed after the founding of the People's Republic of China, but also those in front of them must be deleted. Ma Xiaogang said his thoughts at this time: "I read a lot of content, but it is not suitable. ”

Duan Xu frowned: "What's not suitable?"

"Xiao Duan, I know your idea is good, but this book is really a bit too maverick, this protagonist, how do you look like a bandit, where does it look like a combat hero?" Ma Xiaogang said to Duan Xu with a wry smile. In fact, if Duan Xu hadn't come up with this script and replaced it with someone else, his words might have been even more difficult to listen to than they are now.

"Mr. Chen, do you think so too?"

After listening to Ma Xiaogang's words, Duan Xu looked at Chen Dahe, after all, he was the investor in this drama, and it depended on whether Chen Dahe dared to take risks.

Chen Dahe was silent for a long time, and said after a long time: "I can't call the shots in this matter, and it needs to be discussed by the departments below the company." ”

Hearing this, Duan Xu sighed, he naturally understood what the concerns of the two people were, in fact, if it weren't for the memory in the dream to tell him how popular the drama "Bright Sword" would be, he himself couldn't believe that such a deviant TV series could still be popular.

Thinking of this, Duan Xu said to Chen Dahe: "Mr. Chen, otherwise, let's make a bet." ”

"Bet on what?"

Chen Dahe was a little strange, even Ma Xiaogang was puzzled, they didn't understand what medicine was being sold in Duan Xu's gourd at all.

"I'm willing to use my share of the movie "Crazy Stone" as collateral to borrow from you and make this movie myself. Duan Xu looked at Chen Dahe and said word by word.

Chen Dahe was stunned for a moment, and Ma Xiaogang looked at each other, they couldn't have imagined that Duan Xu's determination was so great that he dared to do this.

"Isn't it?" Chen Dahe looked at Duan Xu and said cautiously.

Duan Xu smiled: "If no one wants to invest, I'll just come by myself." ”

This is no way, if Chen Dahe is really unwilling to invest, then Duan Xu will shoot this drama by himself even if he goes bankrupt, after all, this is his first TV series, and he knows that he will definitely make money if he shoots it, so he has no reason not to do it.

Warren Buffett said that there is only the difference between making money and not making money in business, and there is no difference between high-end and low-end. In Duan Xu's view, the success of the vast majority of content businesses must break away from the niche tastes and aesthetics of the literati and pan-literati class.

In Duan Xu's thoughts, no matter what kind of business it is, if it can guarantee to make a profit, it is worth trying.

On the contrary, his insistence made Chen Dahe have a different mind.

"Well, I'll think about it again, okay?"

Chen Dahe looked at Duan Xu and said slowly.

Duan Xu nodded and didn't speak, he could also understand, after all, it was an investment project of one or two hundred million, not a small number, and there was nothing wrong with Chen Dahe being cautious.

On the contrary, Ma Xiaogang was a little surprised, he originally thought that Chen Dahe would reject Duan Xu categorically, but he didn't expect him to say so.

Although he is now cooperating with Duan Xu to set up a shelf for Sunshine Film and Television, Ma Xiaogang is much more independent than Li Wan, after all, there is a cooperative relationship between him and Duan Xu, unlike Li Wan, who needs to rely on Duan Xu's composition ability.

Therefore, Ma Xiao would oppose Duan Xu's script just now, so he would think about taking over the filming.

In the same way, Duan Xu also knows this, so for Ma Xiaogang, he is polite when he should be polite, and he is never soft when he should be polite.

After all, both of them actually know that each other is just a cooperation between each other.

"In that case, then I'll take my leave. Duan Xu took a deep look at the script he put on the table and said to Chen Dahe.

Chen Dahe nodded and personally sent Duan Xu out.
