Chapter 106: Screenwriter

In the office of the TV station, An Yifei put the pen in his hand on the table, stood up and walked to the window. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe temperature and rain in the middle of summer made the flowers bloom and lush, calming his mood.

The first part of "Across the Seas" once again set a new box office record for Hong Kong films, reaching more than 28 million Hong Kong dollars, but compared to several films in the United States, it is nothing but a drop in the bucket. He has sent a copy of the film to DreamWorks for English dubbing, using this film to try again the reflection of Chinese films in the European and American markets.

"It's a pity that the mainland film market has not been completely liberalized, so we can only find a way to knock on the European and American sides, and expanding the market is the final way out for Hong Kong films."

An Yifei lit a cigar and looked out the window in the smoke. Even as a traverser and with golden thighs, he can't tie up European and American audiences to watch his Hong Kong movies. The road to success in creating the Hollywood of the East is a very difficult one.

With the release of Michael Jackson's first album and the continued explosion of the carpenter siblings, Phoenix Records has finally opened a gap in the European and American markets, and songs with novel rhythms such as "I, Miss, You" are also very popular in Europe and the United States.

Compared with Europe and the United States, which talk about hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, An Yifei really can't look down on the Hong Kong film market, but he can't discard it, because after continuous improvement, he aims at East Asia and the future mainland, and Hong Kong Island is his foundation, and a large number of people follow him to eat, it is not easy to give up easily, but to overcome obstacles and find a way out.

This kind of thing can't be rushed, An Yifei wants not one or two movie stars who are famous in Europe and the United States, but movies that represent Chinese civilization to explode in the European and American markets, which is like a drop of water through a stone, not something that can be completed in a day or two.

The knock on the door pulled An Yifei's thoughts back, and it was Miao Kexiu who came in, "Ah Fei, is there something wrong with me?" ”

"Yes. What do you think of the newcomer Zeng Huaqian? Can I host the show instead of you? ”

Sitting on the chair in front of the table, Miao Kexiu thought for a while, "Brother Fei, she needs to exercise for at least two years, it's too tender." Also, you know I don't like to manage people, so in the future, the assistance of the TV station will be handed over to Xiaoling, don't look at her age, she is really smart and has a very tough personality"

"Then you work hard and bring these newcomers. Ah Xing, I'm going to pull it out and let him concentrate on making movies."

"Well, I haven't been to my place lately, and I've really got new people who forget the old ones."

Laughing awkwardly, An Yifei looked into her eyes: "Don't be stubborn, let's live in Tamsui Mountain, Stardust Island will be completely completed before winter, we will go to Christmas together, and then I will give you a name"

Walked around the back of the table and sat on An Yifei's lap, Miao Kexiu bit her lower lip, "Ah Fei, you moved me very much like this, but ......, I also like freedom, I don't think my relationship with other women will be very harmonious, so, let's just like this, okay?" ”

An Yifei didn't care, because he understood her heart very well and nodded: "Okay, I respect your choice, it's just, so you don't feel wronged?" ”

Rolling her beautiful big eyes, Miao Kexiu laughed, "I grew up abroad, I think this kind of relationship is the best, don't you always say: Distance produces beauty?" In fact, there is still something in the girl's heart that has not been said: "I don't want to have children, I don't want to be bound, I'm sorry, Afei"

Shrugging his shoulders, An Yifei could only answer helplessly: "Yes, you are all girls with independent personalities, and I don't want to be so selfish", he knew that Miao Kexiu, who seemed to have a somewhat "rushing" character, was indeed not suitable to live in Tamsui Villa, and would be unhappy with other women, and it would be best for her to refuse herself.

"Brother Fei, didn't you notice that Xiao Ling looks like a person?" , Miao Kexiu saw that he didn't look unhappy, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and diverted the topic.

"Who is she like? I didn't find it", An Yifei searched for many stars in her memory, but none of them could match Ruan Xiaoling.

"Na, I specially found a still, see for yourself who it is", Miao Kexiu smiled and got up, took out a black and white photo from the small bag she was carrying and handed it to An Yifei.

"Hey, this is ......", if Miao Kexiu hadn't said it specifically, An Yifei would have thought at first glance that it was an art photo taken by Ruan Xiaoling, but the Japanese text above shows that this is a rather "ancient" movie still.

"It's beautiful, is it?" , An Yifei is not very familiar with the movie actors in the post-war years, so he doesn't know who the beauty in the photo is.

"Her name is Sayuri Yoshinaga, born in 1945, and now she is almost forty years old, this is her early movie stills, very similar, right?"

"It's like, but Xiaoling doesn't like acting in movies, I won't force her", after taking the information in Miao Kexiu's hand again and reading it again, he pouted and threw it aside, thinking: "Is it only more than 150 centimeters tall?" It's not as beautiful as Xiaoling."

"Alas, it's Director Lin Dongling who takes a fancy to Xiaoling and wants her to participate in a TV series, but it's hard to speak, so I asked me to come to you to ask about the possibility, I think it's impossible", Miao Kexiu also pouted, she was very envious of Ruan Xiaoling's character, she knew that the man sitting behind the table especially liked girls who could "quiet" down.

"Let Xiaoling decide for herself, I'll call her over", the left hand side of An Yifei's office is Honggu's, and the office on the other side has been empty before, and now it is used by Ruan Xiaoling. More than a minute after the phone call, she walked over.

"Hey, is this my picture? No, the hairstyle is different, who is this? Ruan Xiaoling glanced at An Yifei curiously, and then at the beautiful Miao Kexiu.

After listening to Miao Kexiu's explanation, she refused without hesitation, "I don't want to show my face, Mrs. Chen said before that it is best for a woman to marry and teach her children at home, I think she is right"

After glancing at An Yifei, Miao Kexiu shrugged his shoulders almost at the same time as him, "Alas, I really envy your character, Xiaoling, I also want to be quiet, but I can't calm down."

……

Waiting for Miao Kexiu to leave, An Yifei handed the written script to Ruan Xiaoling, "This is my newly written TV series script, you go and hand it to Lin Dongling, I have already written the actors who are suitable for this play, and directly explain to him the reasons why he doesn't want to act, don't let him have any misunderstandings"

"Okay, Brother Fei", Ruan Xiaoling, who has already put on professional women's clothes, looks very beautiful, and she has learned to wear light makeup, which compares many actresses, An Yifei is very satisfied with this unexpected "harvest", and smiled at her slender figure and walked out of her office door.

The script just handed over to her was written by An Yifei after a slight modification based on the classic TV series "Palace Scheming" in his previous life, and this drama can be stored on the external hard disk of his mobile phone because when it was on the air at that time, it was the happiest years of his previous life, full of his memories, so he specially bought a set of discs and copied it into the film library.

An Yifei's chosen director is Mei Xiaoqing, who came to Phoenix TV after the collapse of ATV, who is also the producer and director of the original drama, as for the actors, in addition to Tao Huiming and Ah Lian, Zeng Huaqian, Kim Yunxi and others, who joined the TV station, were all selected by him to play relevant roles in this TV series.

An Yifei, who was originally planning to go out to do other things, estimated that Lin Dongling and others would come over to have something, so he stayed patiently in the office and waited, but it was not his surprise, and after a while, Ruan Xiaoling returned to his office with a few people.

"In addition to showing the palace fight with the Tang Dynasty as the background, this drama should also show the humanities at that time, which is still very demanding. Now that the finishing touches of Deep Blue Film and Television City have all ended, it provides the best environment for filming, nothing more than the improvement of costumes and props, I will not be stingy in terms of investment, and strive to make it a classic drama this year"

Lin Dongling was waiting for An Yifei's words, his main concern was investment, and the small investment TV series a few days ago had caused the ratings to decline, so he was under a lot of pressure, glanced at Mei Xiaoqing, and signaled that she could ask questions.

An Yifei also looked at this talented woman with a smile, "Producer Mei, do things under me, don't be restrained, just say what you have to say"

"Well, sir, the script is so well written, I read it as quickly as I could. Now there is only one question, who should play the male protagonist in your mind? ”

"Did you ATV's Wu Dairong come over?"

"Ah......, he's really quite suitable, because he thinks the salary over there is too low, and now he's staying at home to play", Mei Xiaoqing's eyes lit up when she was said, because what An Yifei said was a very handsome old actor.

"This drama should be carefully crafted, don't be so anxious, and Xiaoqing, you are a screenwriter. I now have a plan to integrate all the screenwriters under Phoenix Media, and then recruit some high-ranking people, set up an independent screenwriter studio, and deliver high-quality scripts to TV stations and film companies, what do you think? ”

Mei Xiaoqing was only less than thirty years old, and she was a little excited after hearing this, "Sir, this plan is really good, I have many friends outside who are engaged in screenwriting and creation, if we can give them a place to settle down, we will definitely write a lot of good scripts, then our movies and TV will get an endless stream of resources."

An Yifei glanced at Lin Dongling with a smile, "What do you think?" Lin Supervisor"

Phoenix Media has changed a lot of concepts by An Yifei, and now it attaches importance to original musicians, singers with good sound quality, and acting actors, etc., which has already formed a trend, which is completely different from other companies. An Yifei's respect for originality and art has long become the essence of Phoenix Media's enterprise.
