Chapter 31: All Right (1/4)

In the reception room of the hotel, Zhuang Liqi was chatting with Hu Mei and Cao Ping about "The Desire of the Golden Branch"...

Shen Xudong and Qin Wen were a little confused...

"What's going on?"

Shen Xudong asked Chen Hao in a whisper, and the latter was a little embarrassed: "Director Hu Mei I contacted, Producer Zhuang shared the script with Director Li Peisen..."

"Director Li Peisen?"

"Director of the China TV Drama Production Center, producer of "Laughing Karma"..."

“… How did it have anything to do with Cao Ping? ”

"I don't know about this..."

Well, in fact, the TV drama production center is also interested in "Golden Branches", but after inquiring, this drama is funded by Orange Sky...

Forget it, when did the center co-produce with others?

You're not Zhao Benshan...

——"Liu Laogen" is jointly created by the TV Art Center and Benshan Media!

Then, the script went to the BJ Television Arts Center...

Cao Ping is in charge of the distribution work, but in the past few years, the art center has not had any big hits, and can only watch Zhang Jizhong's Jin Yong drama, Hairun's Haiyan drama, and a bunch of Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas that are popular in the market.

The last work of the Beishi Center that sparked national media discussion was "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin", which was a TV series in 2000, three years from this year!

In the past two years, although there have been two works, "Ten Years of Marriage" and "Never Give Up", neither word-of-mouth nor ratings can be talked about influence...

A change needs to be made.

Cao Ping is very sensitive to the feeling that "The Desire of the Golden Branch" will be a groundbreaking genre film!

So, he decisively contacted Zhuang Liqi and flew directly to Wuxi.

BJ Art Center has not co-funded with others...

In contrast, although Hu Mei is also optimistic about "Golden Branches", but it is not to the extent that it is indispensable, she recently got "Camphor Tree" written by Gu Weili, and she also wants to direct...

After all, director Hu Mei has no shortage of filming!

Another point, Hu Mei has almost been bound to CCTV in recent years, and it is very coincidental that Zhuang Liqi has just rejected CCTV...

So, after talking for a while, it was determined that Hu Mei would quit...

There was no conflict, and it ended in a very good atmosphere.

……

"These two are the screenwriters of "Golden Branches"?"

"Yes, let me introduce..."

Zhuang Liqi smiled and pulled Shen Xudong and Qin Wen over, and introduced: "This is Xudong, the script of "Golden Branches Desire" is his idea, this is..."

Shen Xudong introduced: "Qin Wen, my classmate, the script we created together..."

"Xudong, do I know the author of "The First in the World", Qin Wen... Your classmates are so good? Your class is really talented! ”

"Qin Wen is very powerful, she is the first prize winner of the 3rd New Concept Essay Competition!"

Shen Xudong pulled Qin Wen over and added an introduction...

"Really? No wonder I was able to write "The Desire of the Golden Branch"! ”

Qin Wen hurriedly waved her hand: "No... The background of our story is all collected and sorted out by Xudong, and I don't even know about the rebellion of the Tianli Sect in it..."

Zhuang Liqi interrupted: "Don't be modest, who are Director Hu and Director Cao, and whether they have a level or not, they can see at a glance, since they both praise "Golden Branch Desire" as a good script, it must be written by them!" ”

After chatting for a while, Zhuang Liqi left with Hu Mei, leaving Cao Ping to chat privately...

Cao Ping looked at Shen Xudong, and then asked, "I heard that you prepared this script for Chen Hao?" ”

“… That's right, the role of Yuying was specifically written about her! ”

"But I think Er Chun survived in the end?"

"But she's the worst... Actually, I originally wanted to create a one-man show, but I thought it would be better to write a few more characters, so I added Er Chun, An Qian, including Ruyue..."

"The ending of the four-person reconciliation is also what you thought of?"

"Well, I think that human nature has a true, good, and beautiful side..."

Cao Ping nodded and said approvingly: "It's amazing, no wonder I have a feeling of loss after reading the script!" ”

"This is thanks to Qin Wen, although I have an idea, the refinement of the lines is much worse..."

Shen Xudong hurriedly pulled over Qin Wen...

Cao Ping smiled and chatted with Qin Wen, while Shen Xudong looked at Chen Hao...

Chen Hao shouldn't be very happy, after all, Director Hu Mei was invited by her!

But... There is also a god-level director in the BJ TV drama center!

But Cao Ping never talked about the director, but asked: "Do you have any ideas about actors?" ”

Shen Xudong asked Qin Wen first: "... Do you have one? ”

"I... I really like Huo Yanyan..."

"Zhang Daxue in "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin"?"

"Yes!"

Cao Ping smiled: "No problem, I'll invite you here, what else?" ”

Qin Wen glanced at Shen Xudong, who motioned for her to continue to say - BJ TV Art Center is out, and most of the actors can do it!

"Can the queen's candidate find Teacher Dai Chunrong?"

“… Okay..."

Speaking of this, Cao Ping glanced at Shen Xudong and Chen Hao: "You two also provide advice, we are going to prepare soon!" ”

“… So fast? ”

"It's already slow, the casting is over, and all that's left is the location selection, costume customization, set design, time allocation, and so on. Director Zheng Xiaolong is a paranoid, especially this kind of drama that has something to do with history, he is even more meticulous! ”

"Oh..."

Shen Xudong nodded, and then reacted: "Director Zheng Xiaolong wants to direct "Golden Branch Desire"? ”

"yes... Didn't I say it? ”

Chen Hao was also excited, that was Zheng Xiaolong!

"Look at my memory!" Cao Ping smiled: "Director Zheng Xiaolong liked the book of "Golden Branches" very much and decided to direct it himself!" ”

……

That's right, Zheng Xiaolong is out, "Golden Branch Desire" will not be bad!

The current Bruce Cheng has not been put on the ceiling by later generations, and he has not yet filmed "Turandot: The Origin of the Curse"...

The level is absolutely sufficient!

As for the production, it was handed over to the BJ Television Arts Center, so who is the boss of the team behind the scenes?

Can the Orange Sky side take the lead?

This is not a matter of concern to Shen Xudong.

He only knew that "The Desire of the Golden Branch" would definitely go smoothly...

As for the actors, Shen Xudong boldly said a few: Jiang Qinqin, Wang Yan, Li Lianhua, Yu Feihong, Li Xiaoran and even Zhou Xun!

By the way, by the way, I recommended Chen Xi...

"Chen Xi is me... Friend, also from the acting department, looks very atmospheric..."

Cao Ping smiled: "Don't worry, you recommended it, we will definitely find her to audition!" ”

"Thank you, Director Cao..."

"Gone? What about the candidates for Sun Baiyang and Kong Wu? ”

“… This is still an audition, after all, according to the setting, Sun Baiyang and Kong Wu are both in their thirties, actors in their thirties, and we don't know much..."

"Well, auditions!"

Why don't we know much?

Because the post-70s generation did not come out, almost all the resources were occupied by Hong Kong and Taiwan actors...

After thinking about it, Shen Xudong couldn't help but add: "I know an actor named Yu Hewei, it's pretty good..."

"I know him, Bai Zhan'an in "Mansion Gate 2"! Anything else? ”

“… Zhang Jiayi is also good. ”
