The encounter between Director Shang and Ning Caishen is a match made in heaven, a director at the peak, and a talented screenwriter with an explosion of creative inspiration, creating another peak myth in the history of Chinese sitcoms in "Wulin Gaiden".

Aside from the unreleased "Wulin Gaiden", the current peak of domestic sitcoms is "I Love My Home" ten years ago, which is a new type of TV literary and artistic work that integrates education and entertainment, seriousness and popularity, artistry and popularity, so Yingda is well-deserved to be known as "the first person in Chinese sitcoms".

Shangjing's sitcom is more diverse than Yingda's, "The Story of the Cooking Class" he jumped out of Yingda's "home" environment, brought the sitcom to the military brigade, with a cooking class as the background, telling the joys, sorrows and sorrows of a group of young people, integrating the atmosphere of youth and fashion into military life, and resolving the rigid impression of the military camp in the audience's mind, this kind of innovation is very rare.

However, Shang Jing's creative ambitions have not been satisfied, although "The Story of the Cooking Class" has been widely acclaimed, it still fails to reach the realm in Shang Jing's mind, so after meeting Ning Caishen, the two met in a café one day to discuss and decided to make a sitcom that reconstructs martial arts, so "Wulin Gaiden" was born.

Shang Jing is a gentle and elegant person, dressed in a simple but well-organized person, but Ning Caishen does what he wants, all kinds of brands are mixed up, at first glance, he is a person who exudes a very strong thinking, this two people with different styles work together, and the sparks are far brighter than imagined.

"Although the script is not finished yet, I really like it, it is a work like no other, and it is worth the investment. After Zhou Bai read the script brought by Ning Caishen, he took a sip of coffee and said.

"Thank you, I'm relieved to get a definite answer, and I can finally finish the rest of the scenes with peace of mind. Ning Caishen's tense expression became relaxed, and Zhou Bai's words were undoubtedly a promise to invest.

"Caishen, don't be happy first, I have to find fault with you, your script is a little shabby, and it's a shame that you are cooperating with Director Shang, and you can have a headache if you change someone, do you treat the script as a bit? Zhou Bai teased.

"I agree with this, his script is actually a script, a dialogue book, and I also drew a lot of storyboard scripts and scene designs for this, in fact, this script is much better than "Urban Men and Women" and "Health Express". Shang Jing revealed the shortcomings without mercy, and the investment intention had been decided, and he was much more relaxed.

"Some of the previous scripts were very casual, but after cooperating with Director Shang, I realized that there were so many requirements for script writing, and I learned a lot from Director Shang, because I have written a lot of scripts, so I just use this model, and it will be more professional in the future. Ning Caishen smiled embarrassedly, his first screenwriting work "Diary of a Net Worm" was also relatively simple at the time, and now I still feel a little embarrassed when I think about it.

"That's what I said, in fact, as long as the core of the story hasn't changed, the core hasn't changed, the soul of this play is there, they all say that the director is a secondary creation, the script will inevitably be adjusted and changed during the filming process, with a talented director like Director Shang doing it himself, the effect must be greater than one plus one equals two, your cooperation will definitely be a good story in the circle in the future. Zhou Bai patted Ning Caishen's shoulder and said.

"It should be said that it is our cooperation. Shang Jing opened his mouth and said, making Ning Caishen and Lin Chufang both nod in agreement.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's our cooperation, this drama is going to shoot 80 episodes, right? When will the rest of the script be written?" Zhou Bai laughed.

"It's going to take a few months, the basic structure is already clear, and all that's left is to fill in the content, and some paragraphs need to be refined over and over again, and this process takes a lot of effort. Ning Cai was stunned for a moment, and only after thinking for a while did he speak.

"No problem, as long as the book is good enough, it doesn't hurt to wait a few months, I'm also a screenwriter, and I know the pain of trying to write something new, and sometimes it can even make people desperate when their inspiration runs out. As the saying goes, a good meal is not afraid of being late, and patient waiting is essential, and I can afford to wait. Zhou Bai gave Ning Caishen an understanding look, and finished writing the remaining dozens of episodes in a few months, which is not a long time.

"Thank you, only screenwriters can understand the difficulties of screenwriters, fortunately, Director Shang and you are both screenwriters. Ning Caishen breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had escaped, making everyone laugh.

"Director Shang, I want to talk to you about the budget, I think the number you gave is a bit problematic. Zhou Bai turned his head and picked up the budget sheet and said to Shang Jing.

"Is this budget too much? Your company has financial pressure?" Shang Jing's heart sank, and the topic he was most afraid of still came, and Ning Caishen on the side also raised his heart to his throat.

"You don't have to be nervous, I'm not trying to cut the investment, I just think that the investment of 14 million is not enough, is the actor's salary a little lower? The salary of 2,000 yuan per episode, this is a friendship price, right? Now it costs more than 20,000 yuan to invite a well-known actor from Hong Kong and Taiwan to film, I don't think our mainland actors are worse than them, this piece is added according to the domestic market, and the sitcom basically relies on a few leading actors, there are no extras, and this piece does not cost much. Zhou Bai said that now an ordinary third-tier actor in the mainland also has a salary of more than 5,000 yuan per episode, and 2,000 yuan per episode in the budget is indeed too little.

The calculation of the salary of TV drama actors is directly calculated from the time they appear in front of the camera, even if the scenes are concentrated, eighty episodes of TV series cannot be counted as the money of eighty episodes, that is to say, after these leading actors finish filming eighty episodes, one person will be 1230,000 yuan, which cannot be said to be the price of cabbage, it is cheaper than the price of cabbage.

Zhou Bai doesn't need to pick the money from the actor's salary, not to mention that he knows how much income this drama will bring him, and the money spent to increase the actor's salary is simply not worth mentioning compared with the reputation, reputation, and income he has gained.

"The relevant expenses of the crew are also a little low, the filming of the crew is hard enough, the conditions of food and accommodation cannot be bad, and their salary should not be pressed, and even I think this can be appropriately higher than the industry level, as long as they work hard, you may not know, the movies and TV series invested by our company, the treatment of the crew is more than the industry standard, so this time will not be an exception. ”

"There are also equipment, scenery, costumes, props, scene production, post-production these budgets, we must keep improving, I understand that Director Shang wants to be careful with his budget, but since we want to shoot, we want to shoot a high-quality product, and the money that should not be saved does not need money, I believe that as long as the work is good enough, the money invested will be doubled. Zhou Bai pointed to the budgets in the budget table and shook his head.

"That's it, I'll give you a budget of 30 million, how to allocate it when the time comes, you can get an idea, as long as the effect is good, don't ignore the details in order to save money, as long as the quality is good enough, the budget is not unlimited. Zhou Bai said domineeringly.

Shang Jing and Ning Caishen were already dumbfounded, they had heard of Zhou Bai's arrogance for a long time, this time they saw it, his pursuit of the quality of his works is really willing to invest, compared with those film and television people in the circle who spend a lot of money to pursue fancy, this gap is too obvious, it is simply a clear stream in the circle.
