"It's good, I know about it."

Lin Youlun changed the microphone from his left hand to his right hand, and the corner of his eye passed over Qiong Yao, who was sitting on the sofa opposite the desk drinking tea.

"I have a guest here now, can we meet in the evening?"

Putting down the microphone, Lin Youlun leaned over, pinched his chin with one hand, and beat the index finger of the other hand rhythmically on the armrest of the seat.

Qiong Ying put down the teacup and looked over her eyes.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think of my proposal just now?"

Lin Youlun sat up straight and put his hands on the desk. With the popularity of TV sets in ordinary families in the mainland, the demand for all kinds of TV dramas from the mainland audience is indeed great, and TV stations in various places are the idea of introducing TV dramas, but there is a problem that these TV stations generally lack funds in their hands, to take the simplest example, TVB's martial arts dramas that have been introduced to the mainland in recent years are actually half sold and half given away...... It is easy for Ms. Chen to break into the mainland market with her own TV series, but it is very difficult to make money. ”

"That's why I came to Mr. Lin for help. I can't make money in the mainland market, but the Taiwan market should be okay, and the three TV stations of China Television, China Television, and Taiwan Television are unwilling to invest in me due to some political concerns, and the only thing left to cooperate with is TVBS. ”

Qiong Xuan's tone was not hurried, as if she was sure that Lin Youlun would not refuse her.

Lin Youlun hugged it with both hands, looked at Qiong Ying and asked, "Ms. Chen believes in me like that?" ”

Since the 70s, Qiong Ying's works have been remade into film works in large numbers. directly became popular with representative Taiwanese actors such as Qin Han, Qin Xianglin, Lin Qingxia, and Lin Fengjiao. Even a generation of singer Teresa Teng. have sung a lot of theme songs from Qiong Ying's movies.

In the 80s, Taiwanese literary films fell step by step under the impact of increasingly powerful Hong Kong-made commercial films, and Qiong Jin's films were no longer as popular as they were back then. With the popularity of dramas such as "Misty and Rainy" and "Deep Courtyard", Qiong Ying decided to start her own TV drama production company, originally China Television, China Television, and Taiwan Television were willing to cooperate with her, but no one expected Qiong Zhuo, who seemed soft on the outside. is very domineering in the production of TV series.

The dramas created by Qiong Ying do not allow the choreographer and actors to tamper with even a single word, and the actors must be decided by her, this impersonal approach does ensure the quality of Qiong Ying's dramas, but at the same time, it also offends many people.

"Mr. Lin also writes books himself, so he must be more able to understand my suffering, I hate that my works have become unrecognizable in other people's pen, this is like my own child being taken away by others, and finally I don't even know my biological mother, I think it's cruel."

At this moment, Lin Youlun really wanted to tell Qiong Jin. All her TV drama styles have never known that Lu Dao should change a little, and every time it is after changing the story background and a group of actors. The repetition is no less cruel to the audience in front of the TV.

After the worst, Lin Youlun still held back. He knows very well in his heart that Qiong Xuan's TV drama style of "handsome men and beautiful women, snot and tears and yelling" is still very marketable among the current audience.

Qiong Ying took the initiative to seek cooperation, but Lin Youlun had no reason to refuse.

"Can Ms. Chen tell me about your plan?"

Lin Youlun said this, which means that he has agreed to cooperate with Qiong Ying.

Qiong Ying took a sip of tea first, and then asked, "I wonder if Mr. Lu Daolin has read my novel?" ”

Lin Youlun shook his head, he has watched a lot of Qiong Zhen's TV series, but he really hasn't turned the novel yet.

"I have a trilogy of novels called "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms", and this time I plan to shoot them all...... I don't think Mr. Lin will be very interested in the script, so this time I only brought the cast list. ”

Lin Youlun glanced at the list of actors in front of him, and all the roles on it had already been decided.

Qiong Yao's meaning couldn't be more obvious, she deliberately didn't bring the script over, ostensibly because Lin Youlun would not be too interested in the content of this kind of romance drama, but in fact, she made it clear to Lin Youlun that the script she wrote would never allow others to make any deletions, and she also had the final say on the selection of actors.

On the list of actors provided by Qiong Yao, Lin Youlun saw two very familiar names, and then he had a plan in his heart.

"I don't have any worries about Ms. Chen's script, but this list has to be changed."

"Mr. Lin, you should know my style, if you can accept the advice of changing actors, I won't come to you to cooperate." Qiong Yao's attitude on this issue is very resolute.

"Ms. Chen, you can listen to me finish talking first......" Lin Youlun leaned back in his chair, put his hands together, looked at Qiong Yao and said: "I don't doubt Ms. Chen's vision for selecting actors, but I doubt that the TV series will be filmed according to Ms. Chen's list, and the name of cooperation with the mainland will become a joke in the end." ”

Qiong Yu was very unimpressed with Lin Youlun's statement, if it weren't for Lin Youlun, she would have walked away a long time ago.

"I want to ask Ms. Chen, since these three TV series are co-produced with the mainland, where is the cooperation embodied?"

"Mr. Lin, all the Taiwanese actors on my list are marked in front of their names, these people only account for the average part of the list, and then those who have not been marked are all mainland actors, is this considered a cooperation?"

Lin Youlun picked up the list and looked at it again, and said: "The number of actors is quite large, but the roles of these people combined, will there be one-tenth of Taiwanese actors?" ”

How could Qiong Ying not hear that Lin Youlun was satirizing her with this, and tried her best to find some mainland actors to play supporting roles.

Although this arrangement is indeed a bit inauthentic, Qiong Jin does not think that she has done something wrong.

"Mr. Lin won't forget what you just said, right? These three TV series are filmed, even if they can be broadcast on the mainland, they can't make any money, what can really be counted on is the Taiwan market, if you find mainland actors to star, how to ensure the ratings? Besides, I also learned this arrangement from Mr. Lin, how many of the co-productions between Hong Kong and the mainland over the years have been starring mainland actors? ”

"Ms. Chen is wrong to say this, I don't know about the co-productions invested by others, but in the co-productions I invest, mainland actors must account for one of the male and female protagonists, this is my principle."

Lin Youlun's attitude turned tough, and Qiong Ying had to make a little concession.

"Even if I misunderstand Mr. Lin, how to solve the problem of ratings in Taiwan?"

Doesn't Ms. Chen herself have an answer to this question? Need I point it out in particular? ”

Qiong Ying flatly denied this.

Lin Youlun took out a pen, circled a few names on the list, and then handed it to Qiong Yao.

Qiong Ying looked at the names circled by Lin Youlun, and her face suddenly changed, these actors are all newcomers who have newly signed with Qiong Ying's company, and she is ready to praise them in "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", including Chen Derong, who she is most optimistic about.

"These actors don't seem to be very famous in Taiwan, or they are simply newcomers, and when they play these roles, do they have more ratings than mainland actors?"

Lin Youlun's words fell in Qiong Jin's heart, which can be described as a word for word, but she couldn't refute it.

"My request is simple, just the two people."

Lin Youlun stood up, pulled the list back from Qiong Yao's hand, and then selected an actor on "Water and Clouds" and "Plum Blossom Branding".

"I don't know how Ms. Chen persuaded Chen Hong, but with her status and status, it is already very incomprehensible to play a TV series, and it is okay to find her to play this TV series, but her role must be changed with Chen Derong!"

Qiong Yu hesitated, of course she could hear that the tone of Lin Youlun's words was not discussing with her, but directly asking her to do so.

Although there was some psychological resistance, Lin Youlun's request was not excessive, Qiong Yao thought about it for a while, and finally gave in.

"Then there is Wang Yun in "Plum Blossom Branding", I hope she can play the second female lead in the film." Lin Youlun then made another request.

Lin Youlun asked Chen Hong to play the heroine, and Qiong Ying could barely convince herself to accept it, after all, Chen Hong's identity and fame were there, but let this Wang Yun play the second female lead, Qiong Ying couldn't figure it out.

Wang Yun, an actor, is just Qiong Ying listened to the recommendation of a friend in the mainland, and after seeing the photos, he made a decision.

Qiong Yu herself has never seen this actor, she only knows that she is working in the Railway Art Troupe, how did Lin Youlun know about the other party?

This question stumped Lin Youlun, he couldn't tell Qiong Yu that this Wang Yun would be a very famous actor in the future, right?

couldn't find a suitable reason for a while, Lin Youlun simply didn't make any sense, and told Qiong Ying directly: "I don't know this actor either, I choose it casually, I think since it can be regarded by Ms. Chen, the actor should not be bad." ”

Qiong Yu couldn't help but feel a little angry, this is also a reason? In a hurry, she became a little emotional.

"I disagree!"

Lin Youlun spread his hands, "I'm not reluctant!" ”

Qiong Ying really wanted to slam the door and leave, but after calming down, she didn't do so, she knew that as long as she really left Lin Youlun's office, there would be no possibility of cooperation between the two sides in the future.

"Does Mr. Lin really want to show his presence in such a boring way?"

"Ms. Chen must think so, I can't help it, of course I'm willing to make a bet with you. If you use this Wang Yun, and her performance is unsatisfactory in the end, then I will apologize to you; On the contrary, if Wang Yun's performance is very good, I don't need Ms. Chen to apologize, I will provide an outline in the future, and you can help me write a script. ”

Qiong Yu glanced at Lin Youlun suspiciously, "Mr. Lin seems to be very sure that he will win?" ”

Lin Youlun shrugged, "Fifty percent probability, my luck has always been good." (To be continued......)
