Chapter 257: The Beginning
Zhou Yan's "I have a TV series book" certainly does not mean that he wants to shoot a TV series in person.
In the film and television industry, there is an obvious chain of contempt, and those who make movies look down on those who make TV series, which is the iron law of the first industry.
Even people like Zhou Yan who have just come into contact with the film industry are not exempt from vulgarity.
After eating in the cafeteria, Han Sanping took Ning Hao and the others back to his office, where he followed Ning Hao to arrange the next publicity and roadshow of "Crazy Stone", and the scheduling of the movie theater, Ning Hao left China Film directly, and Zhou Yan stayed there alone.
"Take it out, I'll take a look."
Han Sanping was very busy, and in normal times, it was impossible to keep someone in his office for such a long time.
However, in the face of Zhou Yan, he seemed to see his daughter and even his future son-in-law, and he directly wanted to help this kid up and help him support him, and when he could gain a foothold in this industry safely, he planned to give up completely and not help him pave the way.
Before that, he planned to pave the way for him.
"Han Dong, give."
Zhou Yan respectfully gave the script in his hand to Han Sanping.
Just now, he followed Chen Jie to his office.
There, he printed out the script for his first TV series.
"The Beginning? It's an interesting name. ”
When he saw the name of the TV series on the script outline page, Han Sanping smiled and said, "What is this drama about?" ”
"It's about time loops."
Zhou Yan sat in front of Han Sanping with his whole body respectfully and said to him: "This is a story about a car explosion, but I have adopted the theme of time loop, so that each protagonist can repeat the story of this film and their own story from his field of vision." ”
"Oh, in other words, it's a group drama."
Han Sanping felt quite interesting after hearing Zhou Yan finish the general outline of the story.
He asked, "Is this TV series going to be made into a movie?" ”
Zhou Yan shook his head: "If it is made into a movie, then the whole plot will be too protracted, only a dozen episodes, or even only ten episodes of TV series, in this way, the whole plot will be concentrated and compact, and it can also make the audience more focused after watching it." ”
"Well, interesting."
Han Sanping listened and nodded.
When he finished watching the entire plot outline of "The Beginning", he couldn't stop wanting to make it into a movie.
However, as Zhou Yan said, such a TV series was made into a movie, and the plot in it was indeed too dragged on, which did not meet the requirements of being too intense, concentrated, and fast on the big screen.
"Why do you want to throw this film to the Tang people?"
Han Sanping asked again.
In today's TV circle, Rong Xinda, Tang Ren, and Shonan Satellite TV, which specializes in costume dramas, all have the ability to make it a hit drama.
The kid in front of him has to find someone from the Tang people to shoot, isn't it the idea of this kid to beat the little flower on the Tang side?
As soon as he thought of this, Han Sanping rolled his eyes a few times and said: "Boy, it doesn't matter if you mix in film and television dramas, you are romantic or something."
However, you have to know what can be romantic and what can be indecent. ”
Zhou Yan: "。。。。。。 ”
His careful thoughts were directly exposed by Lao Han like this, and Zhou Yan felt that he was still a little embarrassed.
"Han Dong, I just want to take a TV series to practice my skills first, and when they start filming, I'll go to the side to watch and be an assistant director or something.
When the filming of this TV series is finished, I can basically start my new script. ”
Zhou Yan explained.
However, the more he explained, the more he felt that this explanation was too reluctant.
Lao Han has been in the film and television industry for so many years, where would he not know what he was thinking.
What's more, this "The Beginning" was actually made by the gang at noon after Lao Han retired from the position of chairman of China Film for several years.
At that time, Lao Han, who had retired, still played the role of a consultant in this drama.
Otherwise, how could he have come up with the script of "The Beginning"?
Whether "The Beginning" can succeed or not, Zhou Yan is not very clear.
However, seeing that Lao Han has been the chairman of China Film for so many years, and after retiring, he only played the role of a consultant in an occasional few plays, Zhou Yan knows that this "The Beginning" should also be an excellent play.
"Okay, I'll help you call Lao Cai of the Tang Dynasty and ask her to contact you over there."
After watching for a long time, Han Sanping finally put the outline together, and then said to Zhou Yan: "You are not a few years older than my daughter, when you see me again in the future, call uncle directly." ”
"Hey, Uncle Han."
Zhou Yan knew a little bit about Han Sanping's little abacus in his heart, but unfortunately, he is a film and television boss, let him call Uncle now, and let him call Dad in the future, it is purely to look at him.
How?
Not on the road?
How is that possible?
After Zhou Yan quickly shouted Uncle Han, he slipped out of Han Sanping's office directly.
The big guy is too dangerous, so let's go back to my little base.
In the afternoon, the phone call from Tang Film and Television had already reached Zhou Yan's side.
"Hey, hello, is it Teacher Zhou Yanzhou?"
"Hello, I am."
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, hello, I'm the assistant general manager of Tang Film and Television, my surname is Ma, you can call me Pony."
"Oh, Assistant Ma, hello, hello, what's the matter?"
"That's right, at noon, Han Dong of China Film called Mr. Cai and said that you have a good TV series here, and Han Dong thinks that if the two of us can cooperate, we will definitely push us and Mr. Zhou to a higher platform together in the future.
So, we always want me to ask you, when are you free? We would like to visit you. ”
"Oh, it's okay for me here, you can just look at the arrangement."
"Oh, that's okay, I wonder if Mr. Zhou has time at night? We always want to treat you to dinner in the evening? ”
"At night, you can."
"Okay, then let's say so, we'll see you in the evening, Mr. Zhou."
"Well, okay, trouble."
After Zhou Yan finally hung up the phone, the other party politely sent the other party's contact information, name, and time and place to attend in the evening.
Obviously, Han Sanping's call directly suppressed Cai Yinong.
The bigwig in the film and television industry directly recommends a TV series book to the boss of a company in the TV industry, which is something that has never been heard of?
After Cai Yinong finished answering the phone, his whole body was numb.
After she arranged for her assistant to inquire about who this Zhou Yan was, she finally knew the truth.
The Zhou Yan on the phone is the screenwriter of the recent popular movie "People in Embarrassment", and in addition, Ning Hao, who is a bad monkey, also made his movie "Crazy Stone".
Holding two movies in his hand, one is still a hit that has been very popular recently, such a screenwriter can be described as a golden screenwriter in the film industry.
And when he heard that these two movies were produced by China Film, and when he learned that "People in Embarrassment" was originally going to be hung, but because of China Film's shot, the box office was hard-barred to nearly 70 million, Cai Yinong's face was also full of envy.
The box office of 70 million movies, after deducting various taxes and the share of the theater, the investors of this film can earn at least more than half.
With more than 30 million achievements, Cai Yinong, who has always wanted to transform into the film industry, really has supreme charm.
Therefore, this is the assistant's appointment session.
In the evening, in a secret kitchen somewhere in the Second Ring Road, Zhou Yan and Tang Yinong of Tang Film and Television, Liu Shishi, the leading actress, Hu Ge, and Cai Yinong's assistant Xiaoma, a group of five people were eating in the box.
"Screenwriter Zhou, I'll tell you the truth, we all went to the cinema to watch your "People in Embarrassment", it's really good-looking."
During the banquet, Cai Yinong said politely: "We are very concerned about your cooperation with Director Xu, this time, Han Dong also specially called me, saying that you have a book that is very suitable for us, so, I want to take a look, I don't know if it is convenient for you?" ”
"Of course it's convenient."
Since they are planning to work together, Zhou Yan immediately took out the plot outline of "The Beginning": "This is a story about a time loop, the main line is the car bombing case, Mr. Cai, Mr. Liu, Mr. Hu, you can take a look first." ”
"Okay."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Cai Yinong took over the script with Liu Shishi and Hu Ge, and began to watch it carefully.
In fact, since the release of "Step by Step" last year, Tang people have been planning to bring Liu Shishi and Hu Ge to the stage of the big screen.
The circle of TV dramas is too small and too weak.
Only the big screen is the place that real actors are looking for.
However, after reading the entire plot outline of "The Beginning", not only Liu Shishi and Hu Ge, but even Cai Yinong were wide-eyed.
Time loop, or infinite loop.
This can be regarded as a real beginning in terms of the plot of previous TV series.
In the past, only the classic foreign time-loop movies "Groundhog Day" and "Source Code" had such characteristics.
However, compared with the above two movies, although "The Beginning" is less surprising, the audience is very happy to see the TV series that combines the time loop genre and local narrative.
The more Cai Yinong watched this "The Beginning", the more he liked it.
"Mr. Zhou, we can cooperate with your "The Beginning", I don't know what kind of cooperation you want to use?"
According to the previous Tang people's urine nature, if you want Tang people to cooperate with the screenwriter, it is nothing more than that the Tang people directly buy out the copyright and film and television adaptation rights of a certain story, and then, the next thing has little to do with the screenwriter.
The director, actors, etc., all of which are not up to the screenwriter.
However, Zhou Yan was recommended by Han Sanping.
This "The Beginning", Han Dong has obviously also seen it.
Cai Yinong even heard Han Sanping's admiration for this TV series on the phone, obviously from his heart.
Originally, she also wanted to buy the copyright of this show.
However, seeing Zhou Yan's appearance of looking at Liu Shishi now, Cai Yinong smiled in his heart.
If you are just a screenwriter of a TV series, then if you want to soak her Tang sister, that's something you don't even think about.
However, now this guy is obviously going to make a movie.
The first sister under her can have a good relationship with a screenwriter who has a good relationship with China Film, or even a future director, so doesn't it mean that her Tang Film and Television can also go to the film industry to develop in the future?
Thinking of this, Cai Yinong felt that bringing Liu Shishi over tonight could be regarded as his most proud work.
