After resting for a week, Meng Chao received a call from the crew of "Whampoa" and rushed to Huaxia Film and Television City.

And in the week of the break, Meng Chao has already earned more than 500,000 tips just by being an online anchor, but even so, he has no intention of taking root in Yaya Live from now on, satisfied with being an online anchor, but continuing his acting career.

After filming the day's scenes, Meng Chao came to a crew called "Forcing Liangshan".

From the title of the play, it can be seen that this is a TV series that jokes about the heroes of Liangshan Water Margin, which belongs to the annual self-made drama of Nanyue TV, because the TV station's production funds are limited, and the people invited are some unknown actors, and the only biggest star Meng Chao knows in the whole TV series is actually the Xiangjiang actor Wu Mengda who plays the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi......

However, Meng Chao came to this crew not simply to meet Wu Mengda, but also to the screenwriter of this movie.

Today he is looking for a friend he met when he was an actor, and he learned from his devouring memories that he was a very good commercial screenwriter in a parallel world.

This person is Huang Baiming, in the parallel world memory obtained by Meng Chao, this person is good at writing comedy and tragedy works, and has won the box office championship in the Chinese New Year film industry in Xiangjiang, and has become one of the shareholders of Xinyicheng, one of the three major film giants in the parallel world of Xiangjiang, with his screenwriting talent, which is the best screenwriter.

In the world where Meng Chao lives, Huang Baiming entered the industry in 1971, four years later than the parallel world, and "Forcing Liangshan", which should have been created as early as 1976, was not created until 1985, when the adaptation of famous novels was popular.

And the movie script "Vortex", which was originally supposed to be created in 1978, was also stranded by Huang Baiming because of the downturn in the film industry, and because of this, Huang Baiming has not entered the film industry, but nested in the film and television city and became the screenwriter of the TV series.

But because he is not suitable for the long length of the TV series, the TV series written by Huang Baiming are not very popular, and naturally he is also a poor screenwriter who eats a hungry meal, which is also the reason why Meng Chao has a good relationship with him.

"Brother Baiming, why do you look sad?"

Meng Chao walked over and sat next to Huang Baiming and said hello, Huang Baiming saw him with a kind smile on his face: "Change the script, my script director said that it was too nonsense, and asked me to be serious, isn't it now that I'm looking through "Water Margin" and thinking about how to write it seriously......"

Meng Chao knows that most of the Xiangjiang filmmakers have a characteristic that they don't like to follow the steps step by step, for example, in the screenplay, Huang Baiming likes to add some of his own ideas, just like the "Water Margin Laughter" he will shoot in the future will completely subvert the Water Margin, Wu Song's killing of the tiger is just a confused account, Ximen Qing has become a stunned young man, Wang Po has a crush on Ximen Qing, Wu Dalang is a very strong person physically and mentally, and Pan Jinlian is also more funny than in the novel......

But in the mainland, where the thinking is still relatively traditional, the screenwriting work of TV dramas is still required to be closer to reality, which is why Huang Baiming feels that many of his ideas cannot be implemented.

For Meng Chao's little brother, Huang Baiming still attaches great importance to and appreciates, he thinks that Meng Chao's singing skills are solid, and his acting skills have been honed to the point of perfection, all he lacks is an opportunity, and Huang Baiming has also said many times that if he can one day sit as a director or even an investor, he must ask Meng Chao to be the leading actor!

After Meng Chao came to visit, Huang Baiming quickly revised the script in his hand, and after the director received the goods, the screenwriter did not need to stay on the set all the time, so the two came to a café in the film and television city.

During the conversation between the two, Meng Chao began to reveal the news that he had recently made a big splash in the online live broadcast industry and made a lot of reward money to Huang Baiming.

And Huang Baiming knew Meng Chao's character very well, and naturally understood that he was not showing off to himself, but providing himself with one more idea, so he said enthusiastically: "Congratulations, Meng Chao!" Why didn't I ever think about using the Internet? In fact, Meng Chao, I am optimistic about your strength, what you lack is only opportunities, but if you want to mix well in the entertainment industry, opportunities come from connections, but the threshold on the Internet is relatively low, I am glad that you can achieve such results. ”

Meng Chao also smiled and said, "Brother Baiming, do you remember that we once talked about what to do if you have money?" ”

"You say making movies?"

Huang Baiming showed a frightened expression, in the past he had chatted with Meng Chao about the current situation in the film industry, Huang Baiming believes that the enthusiasm of the audience to enter the cinema is not too high, one reason is that it is easy to find a free version on the Internet, few people are willing to spend this kind of unjust money, and the other reason is that although today's Huaxia is ahead of other countries in science and technology, due to its large population, the average income is still lower than that of some Western countries, and economic problems are also the second reason for reluctance to buy tickets to enter.

This has formed a vicious circle, the more no one is willing to spend money to watch a movie, the less investors are willing to invest money in the movie, so the cost of a movie is compressed to the point of millions, or even hundreds of thousands.

Naturally, there are no big stars, no big scenes, and I know that even the lighting and photography technology are very sloppy, and sometimes the audience is even dispelled from the idea of watching the free version on the Internet.

After all, viewers who like to watch the free version don't mean that they don't have a certain level of appreciation, and if a movie is too bad, they don't even bother to take the time to watch the free version.

"Yes, I still remember that you analyzed the domestic film market for me, saying that if there is no large-cost investment, the best way is to rely on jokes and jokes to attract audiences, so if you have the capital to make a movie, you will definitely make a comedy first, am I not mistaken?"

Hearing Meng Chao's words, Huang Baiming nodded: "That's right, but your money is not blowing in the wind, the current film market is so poor, even the films of Li Hanxiang, Zhang Ce and Hu Jinquan are difficult to guarantee that they will have a box office of more than 10 million after they are released nationwide, you have to think clearly!" ”

Meng Chao said indifferently: "Anyway, it's not that I can't make money from online anchors anymore after I lose, not to mention that if I don't fight while I'm young, I'm afraid I'll regret it when I get old in the future......."
