238. Wulin Gaiden
PS: Thank you for the reward that the leader came to see, and the second one was delivered.
Ye Sumang's agreed meeting place is very interesting, officially the teahouse where he and Cai Yinong and Yao Zhuangxian discussed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
This teahouse gave Ye Sumang a very good impression at the beginning, so Ye Sumang, who was not often patronized, and over time, it became a good place for Ye Sumang to meet in private.
He came here today to meet the screenwriter and director of the script of "Wulin Gaiden" in his hand.
Speaking of these two, Ye Sumang also felt very curious, the director Shang Jing is a national first-class choreographer and director, belonging to the Kongzheng Repertory Troupe, and the most famous work he has ever had before is "The Story of the Cooking Class".
The screenwriter Ning Caishen is an online writer, and he has written a lot of TV scripts before, and his writing is witty and humorous, but these are nothing, Ye Sumang is very curious that the other party turned out to be a monk halfway, and he originally worked in the financial industry, but he really didn't expect that the results achieved after abandoning reason and following the text would be even better.
The reason why the two people jointly found themselves is also very simple, that is, to seek investment.
Looking at the two people sitting in front of him, director Shang Jing's appearance is very kind, with a very elegant temperament, and he looks kind, but the screenwriter Ning Caishen sitting on the side gives people a hideous feeling, especially looking at the golden earrings on his earlobes, which looks like a social idler.
And the two people sitting opposite were also looking at Ye Sumang at this time.
The first impression is that the other party is really too young, and the second impression is that he is amazed by the appearance and temperament of the other party.
However, I have to admit that Ye Sumang is really doing a good job in the director's business.
At this time, Ye Sumang had already retracted his gaze, and the look just now was just out of politeness. After roughly recognizing the person sitting across from him, he took out the script and went straight to the point.
"I've already read the script." Ye Sumang said with a smile.
"What does Director Ye think?" The God of Wealth is also a straight character, so he asked bluntly at the moment.
"Very good." Ye Sumang's words made the God of Wealth involuntarily happy, but he didn't expect Ye Sumang's words to suddenly change and provoke the problem: "But there are still a few shortcomings that must be considered." According to your script, dialects and buzzwords are key, but such a design has undoubtedly weakened a lot of viewership. ”
As soon as Ye Sumang's words came out, Shang Jing and Ning Caishen also looked solemn and listened carefully to Ye Sumang's opinion.
"First of all, the problem of dialects is fine in the mainland, but if it is placed in Hong Kong and Taiwan, it will undoubtedly cause hearing impairment when watching TV dramas, after all, Hong Kong and Taiwan have always rejected dialects. I also feel this very much. Ye Sumang smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
At the beginning, "There Are No Thieves in the World" encountered a lot of resistance in HK and TW, if it weren't for the strong support of Liu Tianwang, I am afraid that zuihou would not even be able to keep that fig leaf, since then, Ye Sumang is also cautious about the use of dialects.
Obviously, Shang Jing and the God of Wealth also knew what happened to Ye Sumang at the beginning, and they were amused by Ye Sumang's self-deprecating statement, and their originally serious faces couldn't help but smile, and the atmosphere in the box was also relaxed for a while.
"Director Ye. In addition to the dialects, there are also the buzzwords you speak. I don't see anything wrong with that? The God of Wealth pointed to the script at this time and asked with a smile.
If it was just now, he wouldn't have asked about Ye Sumang's momentum, but at this time, the atmosphere eased, and he generously opened his mouth to talk about the doubts in his heart.
Ye Sumang smiled slightly, for this question of the God of Wealth. He had the answer in his mind.
"Buzzwords are indeed the key to a TV series, but many of the buzzwords in your script are designed in English and have some computer operations, such as this 'paste', 'copy', and this 'Kangsang Amida' music, etc., these terms are easy for young people to understand today. It's also very easy to become a laughing point, but for people over forty years old, these are likely to become heavenly books, which is why weishenme I would say that a part of the audience has been lost invisibly. ”
Ye Sumang's analysis was well-founded, even if Shang Jing and the God of Wealth had the heart to refute, they couldn't find it, so they had to nod resignedly.
"Then Director Ye is still ready to cast this play?" This is actually the key to Shang Jing's question, at this time he was full of apprehension in his heart, after all, Ye Sumang clearly pointed out the problem of the script just now, this is an existence that cannot be ignored.
As soon as Shang Jing's words came out, the God of Wealth couldn't help but focus on Ye Sumang's face, waiting for his answer.
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't be in this teahouse." Ye Sumang said with a smile, although he just said a lot of shortcomings, but it is not the advantage of the flash of this TV series, and it is just the cause of his occupational disease when he says it, and he wants to find fault when he sees the script.
But at the end of the day, which script is truly perfect?
And this kind of costume martial arts sitcom is also a precedent in China, Ye Sumang felt very interesting just by reading the script, and he also thought that this TV series would have a great development.
At this time, the two people opposite heard that there was a play, and they were immediately happy.
"Director Ye, at present, we have also pulled in a few investments, but they are not much, and there is still about eight million short of the most basic production fee......" When Shang Jing said this, he kept looking at Ye Sumang, wanting to see the reaction of his face, after all, as a sitcom, investing eight million is not a small amount, if the other party frowns slightly, then the production fee will be reduced again.
However, to Shang Jing's surprise, Ye Sumang's face on the opposite side was very indifferent, and until Shang Jing finished speaking, there were no big fluctuations in his eyes.
"How much worse, the gap can be fully invested by me." The first sentence Ye Sumang said made the hearts of the two people on the opposite side couldn't help jumping.
"Since I'm optimistic about this TV series, I won't let it face financial difficulties, of course, in terms of investment and zuihou's revenue sharing, it still needs to be decided after consultation with the company's finance department and the lawyer team, I came here today to reach a preliminary agreement, and I will also meet you and get to know each other, after all, we will soon be also a person who eats in a pot."
"Director Ye is refreshing, I replaced wine with tea, and I did it." The eyes of the God of Wealth lit up, I didn't expect it to be negotiated so quickly, and I raised the teacup in a refreshing mood and drank the tea in one gulp, but it was a waste of a good cup of Biluochun in vain.
Shang Jing is also very happy, the investment is completed at once, how can he not make him happy, and at the same time, his gaze at Ye Sumang is also full of deep meaning, this boy who looks at him is only twenty-one years old, he still has great courage, and he has invested nearly 10 million without blinking his eyes, no wonder he can take out 80 million to make a movie.
The matter has been preliminarily negotiated, and Ye Sumang's company's second TV series this year has also been confirmed, which is this "Wulin Gaiden", which only participates in the investment and production, but this is still not the script that Ye Sumang is looking for.
The verbal agreement reached with Ouyang Changqing made Ye Sumang very cautious about the selection of TV series, but fortunately, with "The Legend of Sword and Fairy II", the time is still very loose, which also makes Ye Sumang have a lot of time to choose better TV scripts that can have greater ratings and development.
After the production of "Wulin Gaiden" was confirmed, Huang Bo's first single "Long Time No See" was officially put on the agenda.
Just between study and work, time passed imperceptibly, and one night, when Ye Sumang was writing a script about national arts, the phone in his hand suddenly rang.
When she picked it up, the corners of Ye Sumang's mouth hooked up a smile, it turned out to be Liu Yifei's little girl.
Because she is far away in the crew of "The Condor Heroes", the two of them have been in contact by phone for a while now, and the little girl will always take the trouble to tell Ye Sumang about the interesting things she encountered in the crew, and Ye Sumang will also spare a period of time every day to listen carefully to Liu Yifei's chat, but it is the first time that she has called so late today.
"Sissi, why are you still filming so late." After picking up the phone, Ye Sumang asked with a smile.
However, what was waiting for him was no longer the girl's cheerful voice in the past, but a weak sob, although it was almost inaudible, Ye Sumang still heard it from the microphone, and his face sank involuntarily. (To be continued......)
