Chapter 398: A Chinese Ghost Story

Why is this happening?

Wan Xiaoquan took a sip of tea and said in a deep voice: "Because the current audience is tired of the kind of genre dramas that follow the trend and imitate, the audience's appreciation level is improving, and the requirements for movies and TV series are also improving. ”

"So film and television production companies that are not enterprising and only want to pick up cheap will not be able to mix in sooner or later, they can't always rely on clumsy plagiarism and shoddy plots to confuse the audience, there are no novel ideas, there are no original ideas, and it is inevitable to be abandoned by the audience!"

"In my opinion, "Boundless Love" is a TV series with beautiful packaging and strong advertising, but the content is terrible, and there is no essential difference between it and the previous self-made dramas of Shonan Satellite TV, but they ignore a very important point, that is, the TV audience has matured. ”

"To be honest, "The Vast Sea of Love" didn't show a drop in ratings until the fifth or sixth episode, I'm already surprised, in my opinion, I don't need to watch this TV series anymore after watching the first two episodes, it's enough to watch "Blue Life and Death Love", why bother to chew cold rice just once?"

Listening to his complaints, everyone present smiled knowingly.

July is the hottest time in Beijing, but in the leafy Yuming Tea Garden, there is no need to turn on the air conditioner, and the cool breeze blows into the room through the open windows, making people feel natural and relaxed.

A pot of good tea, a few plates of snacks, and three or five friends sitting and talking to each other are enough to easily pass the time in the afternoon.

Wan Xiaoquan's expression was a little excited, he put down the teacup and stared at Lu Chen, who was sitting opposite him, with a look of admiration in his eyes: "In contrast, the story of "Full House of Romance" is much more interesting, warm, romantic and humorous, full of freshness to the audience, this drama is good because the screenwriter can tell the story, and it is inevitable that the ratings will surpass "The Vast Sea of Love", and it will be higher!"

A middle-aged man present smiled and said, "Lao Wan, I didn't expect you to have studied TV dramas now." ”

Although it was a joke, there was no malice in going, because he was an old friend of Wan Xiaoquan who had known him for many years.

Today's party was initiated by Wan Xiaoquan, and he invited a few friends in the circle, as well as Lu Chen.

It just so happened that Lu Chen could take time out and happily participated in this tea party in the small circle.

Wan Xiaoquan is a student of the great director Zhang Wentian, and one of the well-known representatives of the fifth generation of directors in the industry.

As the saying goes, character determines fate, Wan Xiaoquan's temper is very short-tempered, he was imprisoned for beating others in a conflict two years ago, and just came out of prison a few months ago.

Today's Wan Xiaoquan is basically in a state of seclusion, because the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has relevant regulations, so no film and television companies or investors have asked him to film, and his life is very depressed.

And his friends are only a few in front of him.

After this change, Wan Xiaoquan's temper has changed significantly, he is no longer violent and manic, he has become tolerant and calm, if his friends used to make such a joke with him, he would definitely be annoyed, but now he is laughing.

"I'm so idle, so I watch TV at home every day. ”

Wan Xiaoquan laughed at himself: "Thinking that I can't make movies in the future, it's not bad to try to make TV." ”

Several of my friends were silent.

Although Wan Xiaoquan had a bad temper in the past, he was full of self-confidence and pride, as well as the desire to create.

Now he always has a lingering decadence.

In the past, Wan Xiaoquan was dismissive of TV series, and in his opinion, movies can be regarded as real art.

Now he sits at home watching TV.

The change in contrast is too stark to make people feel gloomy.

Lu Chen keenly felt the change in the atmosphere in the elegant room, he quietly opened the briefcase he brought with him, took out a thick stack of manuscript paper and handed it to Wan Xiaoquan.

Wan Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment: "This is?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "This is a movie script I wrote, and I would like to ask Mr. Wan for your advice." ”

Wan Xiaoquan was surprised: "Then I have to take a good look"

He solemnly took the script with both hands, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on the first page of this script.

The title of the script is very eye-catching - A Chinese Ghost Story!

Wan Xiaoquan's heart couldn't help jumping, and he couldn't help but turn the first page and read the synopsis of the script carefully.

The introduction on the second page was three or four hundred words, and it took him five minutes to read it.

After reading the synopsis of the story, Wan Xiaoquan took a long breath: "This is "Nie Xiaoqian" by Liao Zhaizhi!"

Lu Chen smiled: "Yes, my script is adapted from "Nie Xiaoqian". ”

Wan Xiaoquan felt that his brain was a little overwhelmed: "You want to make a movie?"

Lu Chen nodded: "Yes!"

There is nothing to shy away from this, the life route he has set for himself is to take the road of film and television songs.

In the entertainment industry, movie actors are the highest among all artists, and Lu Chen's idea of making movies is not a day or two, it can be said that he has been in this circle since he stepped in, and he has already begun to lay out.

The script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was written and sorted out by him in five days, with a total of about 40,000 words and hundreds of pages printed.

Since returning to Beijing after returning to Beijing after the national tour of "Full House of Romance", Lu Chen has spent most of his time squatting at home and tapping on the keyboard behind closed doors, in addition to writing "Smiling Proud Jianghu", it is "A Chinese Ghost Story".

He is ready to use this film as his debut on the silver screen!

It's just that there are only a handful of film directors Lu Chen knows, and the biggest name Zhang Wentian is retired again, so he thought of Wan Xiaoquan, and it happened that Wan Xiaoquan invited him to tea, so he printed the script and brought it over.

Wan Xiaoquan is good at costume films, and has filmed "The Legend of the White Snake", Lu Chen believes that with his directing skills, there should be no problem directing "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Wan Xiaoquan is not a fool, although Lu Chen didn't say it explicitly, how could he not understand what Lu Chen meant?

"You don't want me to direct this movie, do you?"

Lu Chen said with a smile: "If you can help, Teacher Wan, it will naturally be the best!"

Wan Xiaoquan smiled bitterly: "It's not that you don't know my situation. ”

He has been in prison for more than a year, but he has not paid enough for his impulsiveness back then, and he will be banned in the industry for at least two years.

Although he was very excited.

Although Lu Chen is young, he is modest, knows how to respect his predecessors, and is a well-known artist himself, and has opened his own studio, which is very popular in the circle and has a strong market appeal.

In other words, Lu Chen is a good partner to work with.

pity

Wan Xiaoquan sighed low in his heart-

The second one is sent.

PS: A friend asked how long this book will be written, and the author is expected to finish the book in 2 million + words, and the results have been good, so there is no need to worry about the unfinished or eunuch or anything (to be continued.) )
