Inside the Shaw Brothers Studios filming base.

Director Zhuang Weijian is frowning, it turned out that the screenwriter Brother Hua was beaten by Eleven Shao and was admitted to the hospital last night, and this "Knife of the Wind" is broadcast while filming, which is extremely demanding for the screenwriter, and now the response to the three episodes of this drama is very good, Zhuang Weijian really doesn't want to delay the speed of shooting, not to mention that he is not allowed to delay the filming task casually.

After thinking about it, Zhuang Weijian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly thought of Chen Xuanting. Not to mention that Chen Xuanting's ruthless skills last night gave him an incomparable impression, and even a little faintly worried in his heart, and said that Chen Xuanting's proposal to revise the script is enough to make Zhuang Weijian believe that it is absolutely no problem to let him be the screenwriter of this play!

When Zhuang Weijian proposed that he should correct Chen Xuanting as a screenwriter, Chen Xuanting was not polite at all, nor did he have the slightest modesty, but simply thanked Zhuang Weijian. Then he said: "I'm a screenwriter, what should Brother Hua do?" ”

Zhuang Weijian thought for a while, "This is easy to do, buy a basket of fruits, you go to the hospital with me!" ”

Aryan Hospital, Hong Kong.

Chen Xuanting followed director Zhuang Weijian to carry a basket of cheap fruits bought from a street fruit stall to the hospital room of the unlucky screenwriter Xue Jiahua.

At this moment, I saw Brother Hua, who was originally in the crew, lying on the bed like a mummy, and one leg was hung on it with a plaster.

"Brother Hua, are you okay?" Zhuang Weijian put the cheap fruit on the table, there was no way, the wireless was so slammed, and the staff refused to bleed when he was sick, so he could only buy a fruit basket of this grade.

Brother Hua opened his mouth and said with difficulty: "It's okay..."

"That's good, that's good!" Zhuang Weijian sat on the head of Brother Hua's bed, "I came today because I want to discuss something with you...... As soon as you are so sick, the filming of the crew has to be stopped, this is not good, the above is urgent, if something really goes wrong, you and I can't afford it! ”

Zhuang Weijian pressed Brother Hua with his head first, lest he have too much opinion, "So I want Ah Ting to take your place, and you can recuperate!" ”

"What? Replace me? Brother Hua's eyes widened.

"Hehe," Chen Xuanting lost no time in holding Brother Hua's hand that was trembling because of emotion, and said: "Don't worry, Brother Hua, I will definitely inherit your ideas, shoot this drama well, and become a classic!" ”

"You, you!" Brother Hua suddenly raised his middle finger, "You are so good!" ”

Chen Xuanting shook his finger back fiercely, "I know this without you saying it-----" patted Brother Hua's mummified body, "Have a good rest!" After speaking, he left with director Zhuang Weijian.

Brother Hua struggled in the back, yelling in his heart, lose, why am I so unlucky?!

……………………

The filming of the costume drama "The Knife of the Wind" went very smoothly, and with the deepening and development of the plot, its ratings gradually climbed, reaching a maximum rating of 21 points, although compared with the fashion drama filmed by the "Huashan School" led by Fang Yihua, the ratings of this drama are still much worse, but to some extent, it has also regained some face for the "Taishan School". This made Li Zhaotai, the creative director who was concerned about the filming process behind him, very happy, and when he heard that the content of these episodes was written by Chen Xuanting, he gave a four-word comment-----Keep working hard!

Chen Xuanting is of course working hard, and now he basically spends one minute as two minutes, in addition to continuing to write the finale of this "Knife of the Wind", he also has to take care of the filming story of the next play.

In his opinion, since there is still a market for costume dramas, and fashion dramas belong to the sword of the "Huashan School", he doesn't want to get a piece of the pie at all, so he will continue to take the road of costume dramas.

But ordinary martial arts dramas will not attract the attention of the audience, at most they will win a good reputation, which is nothing more than well-made, the actors work hard, and there is no subsidy for the ratings.

So you have to be a surprise to win.

Chen Xuanting began to look through some of TVB's shooting records last year and this year, and suddenly his eyes lit up, because there was a costume drama that attracted him, which not only won a 32-point rating record in the downturn of fashion dramas, but also had a very good reputation, which made the "Huashan School" start filming "Big Family" to resist the power of this drama.

This drama is nothing else, it is the costume fantasy martial arts drama "Shushan Wonder" filmed last year, that is, in 1990!

What makes Chen Xuanting strange is that the ratings and word-of-mouth of this drama are win-win, but he has no plans to shoot a sequel. In Chen Xuanting's previous life, this drama had a very good sequel "The Legend of the Immortals", Chen Xuanting watched this film infatuated, especially the love between Ekin Cheng and Chen Songling.

With doubts, Chen Xuanting asked director Zhuang Weijian, Zhuang Weijian was not stupid, he understood what he meant as soon as he heard him, and said: "Ah Ting, you still have to face reality, the filming of "Shushan Wonderman" is very good, but it takes too much manpower and material resources, do you think, what this kind of fantasy drama pursues is that kind of fantasy artistic conception, if you want to create this kind of artistic conception, you have to spend money, who will spend money?" It's not a company yet! And who is the financial director of wireless, Fang Yihua of Huashan faction! Will she pay for us to make a sequel? Dream on! ”

Zhuang Weijian shook his head and said: "What's more, compared with this kind of fantasy drama with a huge scale and huge investment, fashion dramas not only don't cost much, but the audience still likes to watch them." You say, if you were the boss, how would you choose?! ”

Zhuang Weijian directly said the current situation, filming this kind of fantasy drama that costs a lot of money is more than worth the loss, and wireless will not invest in production.

So why is there a sequel in the past life? Chen Xuanting couldn't figure it out. In fact, in the previous life, the birth of this drama "Immortals" was inseparable from the gold medal producer Xiao Sheng. Xiao Sheng had a huge disagreement with Fang Yihua in order to shoot this drama, and then Xiao Sheng directly found his sixth uncle Run Run Shaw and used his more than 40 years of achievements to guarantee that filming this drama will definitely become a classic. Run Run Shaw saw the face of this old hero, so he reluctantly agreed to shoot.

But now, thanks to the appearance of Chen Xuanting's butterfly, everything has changed wonderfully.

However, Chen Xuanting at this moment of course didn't know the reason, but had a belief that this drama would definitely be launched, so he said: "Director, I think we should strive to shoot a sequel to this drama, after all, this has become a brand, if we can make good use of this brand effect, maybe a high investment will get a high return!" ”

Zhuang Weijian smiled, "Don't be stupid, what kind of high investment and high return, you ask the Huashan faction those people with this, and the answer is --- do your dreams!" ”

Chen Xuanting habitually scratched his eyebrows with his tail finger, and said: "If you don't try, how will you know if you can succeed, so let's do it, why don't I write the script of this play first, and then you can see how it goes?" ”

"That's okay, you write slowly, if it's really a classic, I'll definitely support you when the time comes!" In fact, Zhuang Weijian didn't have any confidence in this at all, in his opinion, Chen Xuanting was just young and impulsive, and he would say this when his brain was hot, and he would be fine when he calmed down.

It's just that he doesn't understand enough that Chen Xuanting is not the kind of person who talks casually.
