The current TV drama market is mainly dominated by modern dramas!

Because costume dramas are very expensive.

To say the least, it will cost tens of millions...

Once they can't win the favor of the audience, the film and television production agency will be miserable.

Therefore, in recent years, production institutions have been cautious about costume dramas, carefully selecting themes and scripts, and "big production + big investment = big return" has become the basic idea of costume dramas.

This kind of risk control orientation has also led to a conservative situation in costume dramas - they dare not use new actors.

There is also a flop drama-based, Jin Yong, Gu Long, Liang Yusheng, filming round after round...

I heard that the Tang people bought the copyright of "Shooting the Condor" and began to prepare for the remake.

But there are exceptions, such as the costume drama blessed by Shen Xudong!

"The Best Family" still has Xu Zheng, and "Wulin Gaiden" is simply a newcomer!

But the TV station is willing to gamble.

Even "Soldier Assault" has a bunch of TV station quotations - Dragon TV, Hunan Satellite TV double simulcast...

You must know that "Soldier Assault" has not finished filming yet...

What kind of treatment is this?

"Snow Leopard", no matter how you look at it, is a big hit...

So, it's normal to rush to invest!

Zhang Guoli's Taihe people, the Huang brothers' Huayi brothers, and even the China Television media industry came to the door!

To be honest, it's not that TiMi Media can't afford to produce a TV series.

If you want to say that making a movie, more than 10 million, Gao Fenfen may have to think about it, make a TV series, Shen Xudong recognized, less than 30 million, she didn't blink her eyes, and just voted for it!

Because Shen Xudong has formed a brand effect...

Therefore, "The Indelible Number" naturally has no problem...

As for trying to write American dramas.

"I watched "Prison Break" two days ago, and I watched a lot of similar American dramas, and I summarized the style of American suspense dramas. secondly, the pace is fast, which makes the audience dizzy; At last... Characters, good guys don't have to be pure and perfect, flawless, and bad guys don't have to be outright heinous.

I think this is worth learning, how to make this kind of suspense in domestic dramas, I thought of spy war movies..."

"Before Dawn, the three major forces, the Eighth Bureau of the Kuomintang, the sailors of the underground organization, and a dormant who has been undercover for many years in the Eighth Bureau.

These three form three story lines, with the Eighth Bureau detecting the Sailors and tracking down the dormants within, who have their own mission to sabotage the Eighth Bureau's Trojan Horse plan.

Three groups of characters and three lines form a fairly stable triangle, which supports the framework of the whole play at once. ”

"To get the audience into the play for 5 minutes, you first have to set up a sleeper..."

Shen Xudong probably talked about the idea of "Before Li Ming", and all of you here are professional... Even if he is not professional, he is willing to invest in "Before Li Ming", after all, Shen Xudong said: "I plan to find Uncle Zhang and Teacher Chen Daoming to play a role..."

"They're both coming?"

"If the script is written, I don't think they will refuse!"

Deng Jie and Kei: "Neither of them is the absolute protagonist?" ”

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Male number one... Let's find a younger actor! ”

Deng Jie was surprised: "... Male number one, who are you going to use? ”

"There's an actor named Jin Dong... It's pretty good..."

……

"Snow Leopard", "The Indelible Number" including "Before Dawn"...

The supporting cast must look for the company's actors.

The gang of "Wulin Gaiden" are booked first, and a bunch of actors in "Soldier Assault" can also be used...

took advantage of the fact that they were all cabbage prices, and signed an actor contract first.

Shen Xudong thinks so!

As for the investment ratio of several companies...

It's easy to say, there is no exchange!

Zhang Guoli's "The New Biography of Jigong", several dramas of Huayi, the company has also invested.

China Television Media is backed by CCTV platform...

In addition, there is Wang Jinghua's Shijiu culture.

That's how the circle is consolidated.

……

In the screenwriting studio, Shen Xudong took his new work "Life Events" and sent it to a few brothers to take a look at it, so that they could provide some reference opinions...

Seeing Qin Wen flipping through a book, he asked.

"Our Youth with Nowhere to Place"... Led by Mr. Chen Daoming? ”

"Hmm..."

"That's... TV stations must be rushing to buy it! ”

Liao Gaoxiang interjected while flipping through "Life Events": "... Why don't you say Mr. Chen took advantage of the trend to move to the film industry? ”

“… Perhaps, he prefers TV series? ”

In fact, Chen Daoming, Chen Baoguo, including Li Xuejian, when they debuted, the Chinese film market was still in its infancy with economic development, and to put it bluntly, it was still very barren.

If you want to act in a movie, you can't act!

"I've heard that he turned down a lot of invitations to film scripts?"

Shen Xudong nodded: "... I'm quite strict with myself..."

was chatting, Zhao Linhai raised his head: "This script you wrote?" ”

"..."Life Events"?"

"Yes!"

"Well, I wrote two scripts for a week of retreat..."

"How did you come up with some scripts like this?"

"Birth, old age, sickness and death, life events... Well, I've wanted to write a story about funerals since last year... But I don't like the heavy stuff that I don't really like, I like the warmer ones... How about the script? ”

Zhao Linhai nodded: "Very good!" ”

Zhao Xin also finished reading the script and interjected: "Confucius said: "I don't know life, I don't know death?" "Chinese have always been taboo about talking about death. It's always been vague in our culture... This script confronts this head-on and fills in the genre gap... In the end, I set off fireworks on my father's ashes and pursued romance too much..."

"I wrote before, the old man's request, either to sprinkle the ashes in the water, or to make fireworks..."

“… But I still feel a little bit of a frustration! ”

"I think it's good!" Zhao Linhai was very unhappy: "The old man has been buried all his life, and he has already seen through it." If you don't wear linen and filial piety, you will make fireworks for yourself after you burn it, you will go crazy again after you die! ”

Shen Xudong explained: "... I watched "Goodbye Lenin" and I especially liked that paragraph... There is also the sentence of "Zhuangzi": 'Death and life, life, and life, which have the same night, and the sky also.' ’”

There is an allusion to this sentence, Zhuangzi sat on his knees and sang at his wife's funeral when he died, this behavior is ridiculous, right?

But he believes that he is well-versed in the truth of life: "Death and life, life and life, it has the same night, and the sky is also." ”

Once life begins, it is a process waiting for the end, and there is no need to be sad.

"This script is so well written, you can see from the relationship between the characters that it is a masterpiece..."

Liao Gaoxiang was the last to read the script, and said by the way: "Who are you going to find to direct?" ”

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and then asked them, "Do you have any recommendations?" ”

“… Chen Kexin? ”

"Xu Anhua or Yang Yaya?"

"Director Huo Jianqi is also good..."

The three of them have various recommendations, and some even say that they are looking for Ah Mou to direct...

They are all directors who have been famous for a long time!

It's understandable that they don't want to find a bad director, otherwise, they will delay this good script...

Shen Xudong was speechless: "You recommend such a good director, will they shoot according to the script?" ”
