Lin Zixuan is usually quite steady, and this kind of unbridled yelling at the street can only be done after drinking.

In a colloquial sense, this behavior is called drunkenness.

He sang when he wanted to, and roared when he wanted, just like saying "hello" to the world, naturally.

This is because the person next to him is Mu Shanshan, he is very relieved, he doesn't need to hide his feelings, and sometimes, he also needs to be willful and do something out of the ordinary.

On such a night, with the person he loves, facing the empty streets of the capital, singing the love songs of his world, this feeling is very free, like flying in the air.

Of course, it could also be the effect of alcohol, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Mu Shanshan turned her head to look at her husband, a little moved, and a little funny.

The two have been married for a year and a half, and they know each other very well, and this is the first time she has seen Lin Zixuan like this.

It's not strange for a man to be crazy about drinking, but she sensitively noticed that Lin Zixuan at this time was different from usual, and she had an indescribable feeling, like letting go of her burden and becoming more relaxed.

Mu Shanshan smiled dotingly, a man is sometimes a willful child.

Before New Year's Day, a guest from Baodao appeared at the Beijing Television Art Center, a senior producer in the film and television industry of Baodao, named Cao Jingde.

He represented Baodao TV to negotiate cooperation in the filming of TV series.

In Baodao, the competition in the TV industry is particularly fierce, forming a three-point pattern, namely Taiwan TV, China Television and China Television.

The last time the TV station that came to the mainland to shoot "Joking about Qianlong" was China Television, and it was precisely because of this co-produced TV series that it achieved super high ratings on Baodao, which aroused the vigilance of the other two TV stations.

In the past, the TV series filmed by Baodao were mainly based on love themes, and the pattern was not large.

Filming and filming are all scenes of romance and love, and the audience will inevitably get tired of love, "Joke about Qianlong" came to the mainland to film, filming the great mountains and rivers of the mainland, as well as the magnificent style of the Forbidden City and the royal gardens.

The large-scale zuò and big scenes, star effects and novel themes have made the audience of Treasure Island refreshing.

Seeing this situation, the other two TV stations naturally couldn't sit still, the audience has watched this kind of TV series, and their vision has become higher, and it is difficult to watch the previous type of TV series, and they must seek a breakthrough.

The audience represents the ratings, the ratings represent the advertisers, and the advertisers represent whether the TV station can make money.

In the TV industry of Treasure Island, ratings are an extremely important indicator, and various programs do not hesitate to make all kinds of out-of-the-ordinary tricks in order to increase ratings, and TV stations will directly cut off programs with low ratings.

Because of this, the two TV stations, Taiwan Television and China Television, have plans to come to the mainland to shoot TV dramas.

However, this is not something you can come if you want to come, you need to cooperate with the corresponding units in the mainland, and you have to go through a strict approval process before you can be allowed to enter the mainland for filming.

Last time, Baodao's China Television cooperated with Huaguo TV and signed a co-production agreement, which led to the production of "Joke about Qianlong".

Cao Jingde inquired about it before coming to the mainland, Huaguo TV is no longer responsible for the production of TV dramas, but has a new company called Beijing Television Art Center.

His visit this time is an attempt, and the important thing is to find a way to get through the relationship.

Li Hong received Cao Jingde and told him about China's current policy in this regard.

China's policy is open, and Hong Kong and Taiwan compatriots are welcome to invest and start businesses in the hinterland, as well as to engage in literary and artistic exchanges.

As long as you go through the normal procedures to apply for shooting, and if there is no problem with the review, you can come to the mainland to shoot, and the art center will cooperate accordingly to help the shooting be completed smoothly.

"May I ask which subjects are easier to censor?" Cao Jingde asked.

Cao Jingde came over on behalf of Taiwan TV, and his ambitions are not small, they don't want to shoot a follow-up drama similar to "Joke about Qianlong", but to surpass this drama, otherwise they will not be able to recover the lost audience.

Li Hong brought Lin Zixuan over, and Lin Zixuan was in charge of the affairs of the TV drama production.

Lin Zixuan chatted with Cao Jingde and probably understood the other party's intentions.

"Do you want to shoot a TV series that is different from "Jokes about Qianlong" in terms of subject matter, but surpasses that drama in terms of production and scenes, then there are only martial arts dramas and mythological dramas. Lin Zixuan analyzed.

Whether it is a martial arts drama or a mythological drama, it is not difficult to review this kind of subject matter as long as it is not made up.

"Martial arts dramas are better to buy from Xiangjiang, there is little point in remaking, let's shoot mythological dramas. Cao Jingde decided, "Director Lin is a screenwriter, I don't know if there is a good story?"

Cao Jingde just asked casually, wanting to know the mainland's censorship standards.

There are ghosts, gods and monsters in mythological dramas, and the mainland is an atheistic place, so I don't know what restrictions there are in this regard.

"I have a story here, it's about Xu Xian and the White Snake. Lin Zixuan introduced.

He is talking about "The Legend of the New White Lady", this drama cannot be filmed in the art center at present, not only because of investment, but also about martial arts and special effects, and there is no special effects department in the art center.

It is difficult to complete the clip where the white snake changes from a snake to a human alone, not to mention the various fighting methods in the back, as well as the flooding of Jinshan, etc., if you want to shoot, you have to buy expensive special effects equipment from the United States.

This is why there are few martial arts dramas and mythological dramas filmed in the mainland, and they can only be realistic themes.

The cost of producing an episode of a mythological drama is about 100,000 yuan, and ordinary production units can't afford it at all, and only Huaguo TV has a chance to integrate resources.

Since the TV station in Baodao is willing to shoot, Lin Zixuan will sell the script to them, and he can make some extra money.

Besides, only such a TV station can afford to hire big stars, like this kind of large-scale zuò, just a top star in Xiangjiang will be paid more than one million, which is enough to shoot a feature-length TV series in the art center.

Cao Jingde listened to Lin Zixuan's story and felt that it was not bad, especially the singing plot in it, which was very innovative.

However, he can't make a decision on such a big production zuò, and he has to go back to Baodao to discuss with the TV station and the production team.

"Can this kind of subject matter be censored?" Cao Jingde asked.

"It's not a big problem, as long as there is no plot that is exposed and mapped, you don't shoot the White Snake transformation like stripping naked, that won't work, be subtle and aesthetically pleasing. Lin Zixuan reminded.

In fact, at this time, the review of filming themes in China has been relaxed a lot, especially for the co-production of Xiangjiang and Baodao, which is undoubtedly a good phenomenon, indicating that the film and television industry is really gradually opening up. (To be continued.) )
