Chapter 178 TV series and themes
"Uncle Wang, you seem to have started out in fashion dramas?" Century Film and Television has been established before Zhang Qiuxi has crossed over, and it has developed very well.
In addition to "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and "Xiao Shiyi Lang", Century Film and Television has actually been doing other types of TV series in the past three years, but the investment is not so large, and some are jointly produced with other companies, which is not a major event.
Wang Liqun nodded and said: "We have indeed filmed a lot of excellent fashion dramas before, but now we have a feeling that we don't know where to start, in fact, it is not only our company, but other companies are similar." ”
"There is no good theme for fashion dramas, and the audience of anti-Japanese war dramas does not buy it, and the type of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law competition that has been very popular in recent years has been tired of watching, in fact, the entire TV drama industry is a little sluggish now, and it can even be said that it is confused." Wang Liqun shook his head.
The people of the Celestial Empire are good at forgetting, and filming the theme of the Anti-Japanese War reminds people to remember that even if there is nothing wrong with remembering the lesson, the United States does not have war-themed movies and TV series. The trick is that the domestic anti-Japanese war drama is too outrageous, and the plots of tearing devils and AK to AK are all kinds of thunderous and heartbreaking.
This not only does not achieve the desired effect, but will make people disgusted, anyway, Zhang Qiuxi has never seen any anti-Japanese war films. I've seen some movies, and I thought it was good when I was young and ignorant, but then I thought about it was completely nonsense.
As for family ethics dramas such as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fights, it is not Zhang Qiuxi's dish, and it is impossible to copy one to Wang Liqun, so he can only say: "Domestic TV series are the same as domestic movies." It's a lot worse than American dramas, and it's even worse than Korean soap operas, but I can't help it. ”
"Lao Wang. I also think that it is not feasible for you to shoot Detective Di Renjie now, it is better to find a way in other aspects. Li Changhua also said: "Although movies and TV series are not the same, at least they are not in a hurry." ”
Wang Liqun said: "I also know that it is difficult to be strong, but there is really no way, we collected a lot of scripts and finally rejected them." If you really can't do it, you can only shoot the ruthless sword of the amorous swordsman, and we'll talk about it later. ”
Zhang Qiuxi wrote while filming Century Film and Television is not difficult for a strong man. Manga adaptations take this form. If the manga also has to wait until the end to start making zuò animation, then it is certain that many people will not have the opportunity to see it in their lifetime.
It's just that there is still little content in "Detective Di Renjie" now. Zhang Qiuxi's update can't guarantee such a demand, she doesn't want to put all her energy on this side, it's too tiring and boring.
"Didn't you say that you want to shoot a military theme, then you can just set this theme." Li Changhua said again.
"The script doesn't work. In the end, it was rejected, and this kind of subject matter was not easy to shoot. Wang Liqun shook his head again, this bad shot refers to various senses.
"Our family Ah Qiu is not only a writer, but also a screenwriter." Li Changhua said leisurely.
After getting the prompt, Wang Liqun's eyes lit up and said: "My wife and daughter also like to watch the troubles of growing up, and it would be better if Mr. Xiqiu could write a script directly for our company." ”
Zhang Qiuxi once again felt that he was a cat, and said helplessly: "Uncle Wang, I want to write a novel now, and I will also write the third part of the troubles of growing up." I really didn't have that many experiences. ”
"And I haven't been a soldier, and I've never been exposed to military-themed works, so I don't know anything about this genre. I don't know how to write even if I have time. ”
Speaking of military themes, the only thing Zhang Qiuxi can think of is "Soldier Assault", this TV series was very popular at that time, but unfortunately Zhang Qiuxi has not watched an episode except for hearing about it.
"Bright Sword" should also be regarded as a military theme, and it is also a type of anti-Japanese war, which is also very popular and widely acclaimed. Many colleagues who traveled to other time and space copied it, but Zhang Qiuxi didn't see it. Because she really wasn't interested in the genre.
Zhang Qiuxi has watched a few episodes of the American drama "Band of Brothers", but this can't be moved anyway, right?
"Military dramas are not the same, how profound they are, it's okay to describe military life, and there are a lot of relevant materials at night, and I think it's not a problem to write about your ability with Aqiu." Li Changhua said this, in fact, what he meant was that if he could, he still hoped that Zhang Qiuxi would help Wang Liqun.
Zhang Qiuxi is not too concerned about Century Film and Television, the copyright of the novel is an exception, because she needs to sell and Century Film and Television is also very sincere, and the cooperation under Li Changhua's mediation will come naturally.
But writing a script directly is not the same as selling the adaptation rights of a novel, the latter can sign a contract, but the former needs to be written again. Her current focus is not on TV dramas, even if she wants to write, she can give it to Han Xue, just like "Growing Pains".
It's just that Wang Liqun's words can be prevaricated, Li Changhua really can't refuse, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll try." But I've really had limited energy lately, and it's more difficult to create things that I haven't been exposed to, so I can probably only give Uncle Wang an outline, and you still have to create the specific plot. ”
Thinking about it, Zhang Qiuxi also has a plan, just giving an outline is not a lack of work, but he really doesn't have the energy to write another script, and it will be almost the same when "Growing Pains" is finished.
"We are very satisfied to get an outline from Teacher Xiqiu, I hope it doesn't bother you." Wang Liqun was overjoyed, and then said: "But I still ask Mr. Xiqiu to grant us the copyright of Detective Di Renjie." ”
"Lao Wang, they all said that it is not appropriate to start filming now, you still don't give up?" Li Changhua couldn't understand why he turned back to "Detective Di Renjie".
Wang Liqun said: "It's not, it's just that Mr. Xiqiu's works are so popular now, of course, you have to pinch it in your hand first, otherwise what if someone else takes the lead?" ”
His concern is reasonable, even Warner Bros. did this before, and he didn't dare to start filming immediately, in short, he would first grab the copyright in his hands, so that he could rest assured.
"Uncle Wang, we have been cooperating for so long, and if I want to sell the copyright, of course I will consider you first." There is no difficulty at all in adapting the rights, and it is the same if you sell early and late, so it is not a problem to sign a contract now.
got the outline promised by Zhang Qiuxi, and also won the copyright of the TV series "Detective Di Renjie", Wang Liqun's trip was not in vain. After the matter was settled, he didn't rush back, stayed at Li's house and had a drink with Li Changhua, and stayed at Li's house directly. (To be continued)
