Chapter 206: Finding a Different Way

Li Tianyi took Ling Yongzhi's script and read it carefully.

The script is not very long, only about 30,000 words, Li Tianyi read it quickly, and it took almost an hour to get the 30,000 words.

After reading it, Li Tianyi nodded: "Ling Yongzhi, yes, this story is really good! It seems that you have been relatively successful in changing careers." ”

Ling Yongzhi said with a wry smile: "Boss, let me tell you the truth, before I started my own company, I have been working as a screenwriter in other people's companies, and I am also the kind of screenwriter who does not sign my name. The scripts of a TV series are basically planned and written by me personally, but because I am hired by others, and the people who hire me are relatively famous screenwriters, the authorship of those screenwriters is all those famous screenwriters, and we have also signed a confidentiality agreement, that is, I can't disclose to the outside world that those scripts are written by me, so I am still unknown in the screenwriting industry, but the quality of my works is absolutely no problem.

It's just that I didn't expect that the film and television industry would be so messy, and the script and story structure of this big online movie took me more than 3 months, but now it has been stolen by that company very despicably, and I have lost confidence in the film and television industry now. I feel that there are not many good people in this film and television industry!"

Li Tianyi said with a smile: "Ling Yongzhi, if you say that, it will be a bit extreme, maybe what you have encountered is just a rogue company!"

Ling Yongzhi sighed and shook his head and said: "Boss, you may not know, in fact, I only learned after this incident happened, in the film and television industry, many small film and television companies play the trick of empty gloves and white wolves. Script ideas or even complete scripts, etc., after these newcomers provide these materials to these companies, they will tell the newcomers that the project has not been negotiated for various reasons, and then they will take the scripts of these newcomers and modify them or even directly take these original scripts and ideas to find other companies to cooperate, while looking for investors, while seeking directors, etc., and finally complete a film and television project. ”

Li Tianyi's eyes widened suddenly: "Damn, this is too shameless, right?"

Ling Yongzhi nodded: "Who says it's not, it's such a company that I met this time." Boss, originally I came here this time to cooperate with you and strive to get this big online movie done, but now it seems that it may not be possible. ”

Li Tianyi smiled slightly: "Not necessarily." ”

Ling Yongzhi's eyes immediately lit up: "Boss, what do you mean?

Li Tianyi smiled and nodded: "Ling Yongzhi, isn't the historical era of your costume drama online movie from the Ming Dynasty? ”

Ling Yongzhi said: "Boss, are you kidding? Do you think that the creativity of film and television dramas is to come up with it when you think of it." ”

Li Tianyi smiled: "If you are yourself, it will definitely take time, but it may not take so long for the two of us to be together." Inspired by you, I have a great idea here!"

"Oh, what kind of idea?" Ling Yongzhi immediately stared at Li Tianyi. He knows very well that although Li Tianyi is best at creativity and planning, he can always think about problems from perspectives that others don't expect. This is also why he specifically found Liu Zhuang and asked him to tell Li Tianyi that he wanted to cooperate with Li Tianyi.

Li Tianyi's fingers tapped lightly on the table and said, "Ling Yongzhi, let me first tell you what I want to achieve by cooperating with you. ”

"Needless to say, Liu Zhuang has already told me, don't you want to push out your tourism project in Daheishan Town, Ningkang County through our cooperation? Ling Yongzhi said first.

"Okay, now that you know, then I won't say more, I'm thinking, our big black mountain town has a very deep historical heritage, in this big black mountain town there has been a champion, two banyan, three jinshi, and there is also a prince's mansion here, therefore, judging from the preparation of the scene, there is no problem. If it's just a big online movie, I'm afraid it's a bit wasteful. Then we might as well think about it, among the costume dramas, although there are many TV dramas in the Qing Dynasty, they are often emperors and generals, and there are few TV dramas that truly reflect the lives of the people in the Qing Dynasty, especially TV dramas that reflect traditional Chinese medicine in the Qing Dynasty.

So let's diverge our thinking in this direction, can we make a sitcom that reflects traditional Chinese medicine during the Qing Dynasty, just like "Wulin Gaiden", according to my observation, "Wulin Gaiden" belongs to a phenomenal sitcom, since the appearance of Wulin Gaiden, there have been few costume dramas with this kind of theme in the future, especially costume dramas that reflect the theme of traditional Chinese medicine are even rarer. So why can't we make a sitcom like this?"

After Ling Yongzhi listened, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted Li Tianyi's shoulder vigorously and said, "I'm grass, boss, you are simply a god, your idea is absolutely okay." Although it is quite difficult to shoot a sitcom with a TCM theme, it is not without a market. Isn't there a very popular doctor-themed TV series "Dr. House" in the United States now, Dr. House tells the story of Western medicine, and although we also shoot this type of TV series in China, but to be honest, I am not optimistic about those dramas, I feel that the level is not good!

If we can really shoot a sitcom set in the life of traditional Chinese medicine in the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time integrate some of our various concepts of traditional Chinese medicine and even some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine into the TV series, then we can not only gain a certain market, but also promote our traditional Chinese culture, and at the same time be able to promote the tourism projects of your Daheishan Town. ”

Li Tianyi smiled: "You're right, we can shoot a costume Chinese medicine version of "Doctor House", carry forward our traditional Chinese medicine culture through the form of TV series, and combine the ancient Qing Dynasty buildings and beautiful scenery in our Daheishan Town to create a phenomenal TV series." ”

Ling Yongzhi said with a wry smile: "Boss, although this idea is very good, I now have the idea of a screenwriter in my mind, but the most difficult thing now is the problem of funds and traditional Chinese medicine, the problem of funds is the key and difficult, after all, if you want to shoot such a TV series, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete without tens of millions of funds." ”

Li Tianyi shook his head: "Ling Yongzhi, you are wrong, with our current conditions, it is very difficult to make this TV series into a TV series that can be broadcast directly on various David TV channels, because I really can't solve the problem of funding, but we can shoot an online TV series first, and let this TV series be broadcast on the Internet first." If the effect is very good after playing on the Internet, then there will definitely be investors who will come in to talk to us about cooperation in the later stage. And the popular online dramas are developed by season, a season is 12 episodes, and if you shoot 12 episodes of online dramas, the cost of about 5 million should be no problem. As for the actors, we definitely won't invite those little fresh meats, as for their acting skills, we won't talk about them, their salaries alone are beyond our reach, we can invite some new actors to join our sitcom, "Wulin Gaiden" can make a group of people popular, can't we?"

Ling Yongzhi was teased by Li Tianyi's words, nodded vigorously and said: "That's right, yes, if you only shoot 12 episodes, then there is absolutely no problem." And if I shoot seasonally, it's more appropriate when writing the script, and I can set up the conflicts more focused to make sure that every episode is exciting!"

"Okay, I'll rest assured that the script will be handed over to you, I think when we were in college, you were the most pretending to be the one every time we played football!" Li Tianyi said with a smile.

"Hehe, boss, you don't need to mention my glorious history, I want to create a super popular phenomenal online TV series now, let my dad and everyone watch it, I want to prove that I am a person suitable for development in the film and television industry. Ling Yongzhi said with high ambitions.

Li Tianyi smiled: "Didn't you just say that there are few good people in the film and television industry?

Ling Yongzhi said: "Because I want to inject a clear stream into the film and television industry through my own efforts, I want to drive the culturalization, civilization and regularization of the film and television industry!"

For the next two weeks or so, Ling Yongzhi simply stayed directly in Li Tianyi's house, locking himself in his room every day to retreat and prepare for the script! At the same time, he also took the time to go to Daheishan Town twice, and went around every street and even every household in Daheishan Town, thus gaining a relatively detailed understanding of the situation in the entire Daheishan Town.

And in the past two weeks, Li Tianyi has been so busy that he has no time to care about Ling Yongzhi.

Because on the one hand, he has to implement the "Ningkang County Economic Development Plan for the Next Ten Years" formulated by him, and on the other hand, he has to deal with the advertising companies recommended from all sides, these people are very jealous of the 5 million in Li Tianyi's hands, and Li Tianyi has received fifteen or sixteen advertising plans, although Li Tianyi has long told these people that he already has partners here, but these people still persevered to come to him to talk, hoping that Li Tianyi can change his mind.

The only thing that makes Li Tianyi more comfortable is that at this time, Wu Junhao has never made any small moves with him, whether it is Li Tianyi to implement the planning plan, or the use of the 5 million funds in his hand, Wu Junhao has not reached out.

However, Li Tianyi didn't know that the crisis was quietly approaching.
