Song Yuanchao is actually half a layman for antique calligraphy and painting, and he didn't know anything in his previous life, and he only slowly learned some knowledge by contacting these things in this life.

Song Yuanchao's current collection is indeed a lot, and it only accounts for a part of him on Yanjing's side, and being able to do this step is also a convenience for taking up more money and starting early.

Hearing Ma Dudu say this, Song Yuanchao smiled and waved his hand, and roughly talked about how he started this yard back then, how he found someone to repair it, and how he collected these things because of his interest.

After listening to Song Yuanchao's story, Ma Dudu's eyes were filled with great envy, especially when Luo Yang interjected and told Ma Dudu that when Song Yuanchao also bought a large number of calligraphy and paintings at a large price, Ma Dudu's interest was even greater.

If it weren't for the inconvenience of today, coupled with the first time they met, Ma Dudu would even want to directly propose to visit Song Yuanchao's collection. Where could his mind escape Song Yuanchao's eyes? Song Yuanchao took the initiative to invite Ma Dudu to come over to see the collection if he was free, and he also wanted to ask Ma Dudu for advice in this regard.

This sentence is in the heart of Ma Dudu, and he blurted out if it is convenient to succeed tomorrow? Looking at his eager appearance, Song Yuanchao smiled and agreed, anyway, he is the plane the day after tomorrow, and it will be fine tomorrow, he can come if he wants to see it.

Wang Shuo was also interested when he heard it, and said that he would come to take a look together tomorrow, of course Song Yuanchao raised his hands to welcome, and even Luo Yang said that he would come over tomorrow to shop, and then asked Chen Xiaoer if he wanted to go together, Chen Xiaoer shook his head and said that he was not interested in this, and the crew still had something to do, so he would not come tomorrow.

The meal didn't end until midnight, and Chen Xiaoer drank rice wine for the first time, although he was reminded by Song Yuanchao, he still drank more in the end.

finally stuffed the drunk Chen Xiaoer into the car, asked Xiao Qiao to help drive him home, and then sent away Wang Shuo, Ma Dudu and the soldiers, Luo Yang didn't go back, and stayed directly on Song Yuanchao's side today.

"What are you thinking?" After washing his face, Song Yuanchao returned to the house, and at a glance saw Luo Yang lying on the bed with his eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking.

"I'm done with cigarettes, give me a cigarette." Luo Yang got up and said.

Song Yuanchao took out a cigarette in his pocket and handed it over, Luo Yang took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff and said to Song Yuanchao: "I was thinking just now that many literary works are very good sources of scripts, such as today's Wang Shuo." You say, how about I get a few people to find out about these? ”

"You mean to find some suitable works to buy the rights to? And then adapt these works into scripts? ”

"That's right! That's it! Luo Yang said seriously: "I still had a bit of an idea in my head before, but after chatting with Wang Shuo today, I suddenly had this idea." In recent years, there have been a lot of good literary works, there are many famous writers, and some works are very popular, isn't this the best source of scripts? If you can win it, there will be no shortage of scripts in the future, even if you can't use it for the time being, it's good to keep it in your hands, and you can use it one day. ”

"That's a good idea, but it's a bit difficult." Song Yuanchao frowned.

"How?"

"Do you know how many works are produced each year? How many of them are short? How many novellas are there? How many are there in the long form? Which ones are suitable for adapting the script? How much work will this be? In addition, everyone's views and opinions on the work are different, isn't there a saying that there are a hundred Hamlets in the eyes of a hundred people, and what others think is appropriate, you may not think it is appropriate, and vice versa. ”

"And many works are not problematic to read, but it is debatable whether they are suitable for adaptation into screenplays. Coupled with the scar literature that has been popular in the past few years and the satirical works that have emerged in the past two years on some social issues, most of these are not suitable for adaptation. ”

"The reason is very simple, if you are faithful to the original, many things are not easy to shoot. But if the adaptation is too much, it will lose the original flavor of the work. In addition, film and television dramas are art, but they also need to be commercialized, you should know very well that you have stayed in Xiangjiang for so long, there are art films in Xiangjiang and the Taiwan Strait, but often these art films are not popular, and the ones that really make money are some commercial films. ”

"I think that many domestic film and television dramas have also fallen into this strange circle, any film, whether it is a movie or a TV series, usually requires connotation, meaning, artistry, etc., and there are both these requirements and commercialization, but where in the world is such a good thing as the best of both worlds?"

"There is a good saying, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, this kind of thinking and requirements are too ideal and unrealistic." Song Yuanchao shook his head and said to Luo Yang very seriously: "There may be works that take care of both, but this kind of work is hard to find." Take Chen Xiaoer's sketches and movies as an example, why are they popular with the audience? Isn't it because I like to hear it? If you blindly preach, who likes to watch it? I definitely won't like it anyway. ”

Luo Yang listened carefully to Song Yuanchao's words, and couldn't help nodding: "That's right, you can't take care of the best of both worlds, you have to make some trade-offs." ”

"That's right! That's it! Song Yuanchao said: "Among the two choices that can only pursue art and commerce, if it were a substitute, I would never choose the former, and the latter would be the first thing to consider." Because starting a company is not charity, the cost of investment must be rewarded, if you give up business for the so-called ideal pursuit, then this road will never go long. ”

"Of course, at a certain stage in the future, after accumulating enough strength, we should properly pursue it artistically, for example, we should do what we can every once in a while to shoot one or two artistic and creative film and television works, which can be used for competitions, awards, and so on, so as to get honors or something, which is okay, but the key problem is not to put the cart before the horse!"

"These are a bit far away, but your idea just now is still good, you can appropriately select some suitable works as reserves, which I support. But I warn you, it's a lot of work, and you have to have someone quite professional to deal with it, so you'll have to think about it! ”

Luo Yang agreed, and he smiled: "Let's try it first, it's okay to try anyway." As for the issue of personnel, I would like to recruit a few from the mainland, and then find a few from the Xiangjiang side. By the way, won't Ma Du come tomorrow, he will be the editor of "Youth Literature", let him also help recommend and recommend, put a wind in the industry or something, pay attention to it, it's better than me fooling around here. ”

"It's done, you don't have to rush this matter, think about it slowly." Song Yuanchao reminded him, and then suddenly remembered an incident he had explained to Luo Yang before, and asked about the progress of this matter.

Song Yuanchao asked about the documentary, re-experienced this era, and once again looked at the changes of the times, and had the idea of preserving this era in the form of a documentary.

This idea was discussed with Luo Yang last year and was approved by Luo Yang. And at that time, Luo Yang also happened to train his team, in addition to the cooperation with Huhai Studio, many jobs on the advertising company's side were also prepared for this, so the two hit it off and established the project.

In a blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and Song Yuanchao has been busy for most of the year, and he hasn't cared too much about this matter. Today, when talking about film and television dramas, Song Yuanchao suddenly remembered this and asked about the progress of Luoyang's documentary.

Luo Yang told Song Yuanchao that after the project was determined, the preparation and shooting of the documentary began, because the documentary needs to be selected in various places, and Song Yuanchao's requirements are relatively high, not only in a few representative cities, but also in rural towns and villages.

It also includes the difference between the south and the north, so the documentary will take longer. In addition, the director in charge is Mr. Li from Huhai Studio, who is a very experienced and capable veteran director, and he is very good at documentary shooting. He proposed to Luo Yang that in addition to the ordinary documentary mode, the filming can be carried out through the mode of gradually radiating to the enterprise, society and the whole city with family members as a unit, and use a vivid storyline to make the documentary better.

This idea was recognized by Luo Yang, and it was also because of this that it also lengthened the difficulty and time of documentary shooting.

Some time ago, Luo Yang was in Shanghai, listened to the filming progress of the documentary, at present, most of the documentary has been completed, and the follow-up will be completed in a month at most, and then editing and production, if everything goes well, it will probably be completed after the National Day.

"Mr. Li suggested that when this documentary is completed, it can be sent to foreign exhibitions to try, and if we can win international awards, it will be very beneficial to us."

"That's okay! In this way, you can find time to ask Mr. Li when the wool film will come out, and I'll take a look at it first. Song Yuanchao suddenly became interested, most of the documentaries about this era were made by foreigners, although the shooting was good, and there were many merits, but the ideas of foreigners are different from those of Chinese people, and what he pays attention to and likes may not be suitable for Chinese people.

If the documentary can be successfully filmed and has enough quality, it is a good way to send it to the exhibition. After all, documentaries are different from film and television dramas, unlike film and television dramas, which can recover their costs through film or TV broadcasting, and the investment in documentaries is often doomed to loss.

Luo Yang agreed, saying that after he went back, he would ask about the current progress and give Song Yuanchao an approximate time to watch the film.

Then, Luo Yang and Song Yuanchao discussed the previous topic again, chatted and chatted until late at night before falling asleep, the next morning, they just got up and were still having breakfast, Ma Dudu and Wang Shuo arrived together, look at this Ma Du look impatient, Song Yuanchao smiled and beckoned them to eat together, and it was not too late to look at the collection after eating.
