The so-called fantasy drama refers to all literature that is out of the realm of reality, and it is also a TV series made of fantasy, and the most important point is that the plot must be created on the basis of a complete world view, most of which are based on oriental elements and are traditional oriental fantasy.

Before the millennium, fantasy dramas were not called "fantasy", they were all classified as mythological dramas, such as "Little Man Dragon Whirlwind", "Legend of Heaven and Earth Baolian Lantern", "Sun and Moon Sword", although there are also various spells of gods and demons, but the foundation is still "martial arts style", "Water Moon Cave Sky" is a typical fantasy martial arts drama.

And there is another branch of martial arts, "Xianxia", which is also an element that belongs exclusively to national dramas, and is also loved by the audience.

However, due to the increasingly fierce market competition in recent years, the production cost and operating cost of TV dramas have been rising, and the production of special effects is very money-burning, everyone is reluctant to touch the category of Xianxia dramas.

However, some people don't think so.

Who?

Lu Bu's old acquaintance Luo Xiong.

He made a little money when he was the producer of "Xiao Li Flying Knife", and after returning to Baodao Province, he invested in TV series such as "Spicy Fresh Master", "Meteor Garden", and "Heaven's Wedding Dress" with a few friends, and when he had more money, he set up a TV series production company called "Longteng Film and Television".

The first TV series produced by the company is Xianxia drama, and his favorite actor is Lu Bu.

No, I came all the way to Yanjing.

"I'm kind of a three-way house, right?" Luo Xiong looked at Lu Bu with a smile, he was really in turmoil forever, and the idea of cooperating with Lu Bu had always been haunting his heart and had never disappeared.

"Brother Luo values me so much, if I push it back, it will be a foreign way, right?" Lu Bu didn't expect that after so many years, Luo Xiong still valued him as much as he did at the beginning, and it would be too unkind to reject others again.

Yu Feihong looked at the two of them with strange eyes, the woman is worried about Lu Bu, why is the man also worried?

But putting aside the sophistication of human feelings, with Lu Bu's current popularity and popularity, there should be no investor, producer, or director who doesn't like it, who will not be able to keep up with the ratings, and the ratings are money.

During the period when Shuiyue exploded, there were ten calls to find Hu Jing, and there were twenty calls to find Lu Bu.

is all looking for him to carry the banner of ratings, and the salary is not low, the minimum is 200,000 episodes.

is that the script is not very good, and because most of the budget is given to Lu Bu, the remaining small part of the budget wants to support the filming of the whole drama, so he can only cut the cast and the production team, and finally it becomes a "bad drama".

Yu Feihong has been pushed away, and now he has finally built up a good reputation, he has to cherish his feathers, and would rather take less plays than take on dramas randomly.

As for Luo Xiong's invitation, Lu Bu agreed before she saw the script, she felt a little hasty.

However, occasionally selling favors, returning favors, and taking on one or two parts is fine, so I let Lu Bu do it.

"Don't be in a hurry to say yes." Luo Xiong took out the script from his briefcase and handed it to him, saying: "Read the script first, if you like it, you can take it, if you don't like it, you won't accept it, looking for you to cooperate is to 'make money happily', and not just do this hammer deal." ”

This attitude of inviting people, there is no one anymore, Lu Bu doesn't know what to say, so he took the script and joked: "Then I can come according to my preference." ”

Luo Xiong smiled and said, "I have confidence in this script." ”

Lu Bu opened the script, and at the same time moved it slightly to the right-hand side, so that Yu Feihong could also see it.

[——"The Legend of Sword and Fairy"]

Looking up and writing the title of the play, it seems that I have seen it somewhere, Lu Bu recalled it and said: "If I remember correctly, this should be a stand-alone game, the male protagonist is called Li Xiaoyao, and the female protagonist is called Zhao Ling'er." ”

Luo Xiong was pleasantly surprised: "Have you played? ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "I've played it once before." ”

Yu Feihong's eyes flashed: "Game adaptation? It's rare. ”

Generally, it is a comic book adaptation of a TV series, and she is still in contact with a game adaptation of a TV series.

Luo Xiong smiled and said, "This is a long story......

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a series of computer games owned by Daewoo Information in Baodao Province, the first part was released in 95, the second and third parts were released in 03 years, and the third part of the biography was released this year.

Last June, after he established the company, he held a meeting to discuss how to choose the company's first drama.

Some people propose idol dramas, but most people think that idol dramas are now popular in the mainland and Baodao Province, accounting for half of the market, and the growth of quantity has not brought about a qualitative leap, but has caused a serious problem of homogenization, resulting in a cold market, and it is no longer as profitable as in the previous two years.

After careful consideration, he decided to find another way, and with the help of a friend, he bought the TV series copyright of Sword and Fairy 1.

Immediately afterwards, eight well-known screenwriters from the three places of Inner Hong Kong and Taiwan were intensively assembled, and after more than a year, the script was adapted.

In the middle of this year, preparations began, and six directors led by Wu Jinyuan, Liang Shengquan, Mai Guanzhi and other directors of Xiangjiang were determined.

Then, he went straight to the best candidate for the actor Li Xiaoyao in his mind.

After listening to his explanation, Lu Bu did not continue to read the script, but asked, "What is the total investment estimate?" ”

Luo Xiong replied: "It is estimated that 20 million, my own company will contribute 10 million, and the rest has not been invited for the time being." ”

"This is a Xianxia drama, I'm afraid this money is not even enough for special effects." Lu Bu once again thought that other people's budgets were too small, and said: "To the level of "Baolian Lantern" I played before, how can it start at 40 million now." ”

When Luo Xiong heard this, he sighed and said: "I had to cut the budget as a last resort, in April this year, the relevant departments in the mainland issued a notice on prohibiting the broadcast of computer network game programs, that is to say, this drama can't be filmed on the stars, and if I invest too much, I'm afraid that I won't be able to recover the cost." ”

Shangxing refers to being on a satellite channel, that is, a provincial television station.

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, there is still such a rule? After thinking for a while, he said, "I'll talk about it after I finish reading the script." ”

[An embarrassing love story, an eternal memory, through time and space, touching the soul.

Li Xiaoyao, the second shopkeeper in a small fishing village, is as his name suggests, and he is at ease.

By chance, she met Zhao Ling'er, the princess of Nanzhao who lived in seclusion on Xianling Island to avoid pursuit, and because of the fate of one side, they were married forever.

Li Xiaoyao escorted Zhao Ling'er back to Miaojiang to find his mother, and by mistake, he killed the unruly daughter Lin Yueru halfway.

Since then, the fates of the three have been closely linked and will never be separated......]

Crossing again?

Lu Bu's "Mythology" also has this element.

It's just that the way it is presented in the two stories is different.

"How's this script?" Seeing that he turned to the last page, Luo Xiong couldn't wait to ask.

"Interesting." Lu Bu was attracted when he watched it.

"It's going to be very popular with young people." Yu Feihong expressed his feelings.

"Huh......" Luo Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and said tentatively: "Then, this matter is so decided?" ”

"I don't have a schedule until February or March next year." Lu Bu doesn't play.

"That's fine." Luo Xiong can wait.

"I still think that the budget is ...... less" 20 million may be able to make this drama well, but it is definitely not the most perfect form, so Lu Bu said his thoughts and said: "You see if this will work, on the basis of 20 million, my studio will invest 7.5 million, and then help pull 7.5 million, and increase the total investment to 35 million." ”

Luo Xiong hesitated: "But, you can't go to the stars." ”

Lu Bu showed a faint smile on his face, and said: "It doesn't have much impact on not being on the stars, and there are also rich local stations, such as Chongqing TV, Modu TV, Tianjin TV, etc., the price gap of a round of broadcast rights will not be very large, plus the markets of Xiangjiang and Baodao Province, as well as DVD discs, it is not a problem to recover costs." ”

Yu Feihong followed: "If the quality is too poor and the viewing experience is affected, it may lead to the collapse of ratings and word-of-mouth. Wasted this good script too. ”

Luo Xiong thought about it for a while, there was a bit of truth, and he thought in his heart, as the saying goes, "support the bold to death, starve to death the cowardly", and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "I'll take out another 5 million, make up 40 million, and play a big game with you this time!" ”

There are a total of thirty-four episodes, and the cost of 40 million is apportioned, and it is enough to sell a single episode to 1.18 million.

It's really not a big problem.

As for Lu Bu's salary, Luo Xiong was as generous as Yang Shoucheng, and he opened it to 280,000 episodes, and the contract was signed on the spot.

Luo Xiong, who got his wish, bleed heavily, and invited Lu Bu and Yu Feihong to the best hotel in Yanjing.

At the dinner table, I was happy to drink a few more glasses, but the amount of wine was not good, so I went directly to the table.

Lu Bu could only send him to the hotel to rest first, and then drove Yu Feihong back to the big courtyard.

"You say, should we bring the female number one Zhao Ling'er over as well?" Yu Feihong asked Lu Bu, she still wanted to fertilize the water and not flow into the fields of outsiders.

"Forget it, let Brother Luo choose it himself, after all, in this drama, he is a combination of copyright owners, producers, investors, and producers, and he has to leave him a sense of experience." Lu Bu was embarrassed to be too harsh on Luo Xiong.

"Okay, listen to you." Yu Feihong terminated this topic, if you can get it, you will definitely make money, and if you can't get it, you won't lose.

"Don't be too tired, haven't you set up an artist department, you can do it for Xiaoli and Xueping." Lu Bu said with concern.

"I know." Yu Feihong nodded.

"You're dressed like this today......" Lu Bu's eyes swept her clothes.

"Don't you like it?" Yu Feihong's own body skeleton is actually relatively small, but because of his strong aura, he can also control professional wear, wearing a black suit, short skirt, black stockings and high heels, capable and neat and sexy and fashionable, showing the charm of working women.

"Huh?"

"Tear ......"

"Huh?!"

After a brief exchange of words, a "hiss" sound sounded in the room.

Outside the North Film Studio.

Tang Jili, who came to start work in a low-key manner as usual, was still blocked by the media reporters who had been squatting for several days.

"Director Tang, can you accept the next interview?"

"Director Tang, can you tell us some about the filming progress of "Mythology"?"

"Director Tang, I heard that Lu Bu and Jin Xishan get along well in the crew and are inseparable, are they filming and procrastinating?"

Tang Jili was surrounded in an instant, facing one question after another, his face was not very good-looking, and he wanted to go crazy if he wanted to dig up the news, but compared to the media reporters on the other side of Xiangjiang, it was good, and then he said: "I'm still waiting for me to start work inside, and there is not much time, so I'll answer two questions about the movie, you can ask." ”

The reporter of "Yanjing Entertainment News" preemptively said: "Director Tang, what kind of story does "Myth" tell? ”

Tang Jili is an old fritter, and he won't answer honestly: "Qin Shi Huang has two wishes that have not been fulfilled, one is immortality, and the other is a 100-day flying star, in the movie, I realized both things." ”

The reporter of "Light and Shadow Weekly" continued: "How is Lu Bu's performance? Why did you choose him as the box office poison as the leading actor? ”

Tang Jili said proudly: "He performed very well, whether it was literary drama or martial arts, he was a top-level performance, he gave me a lot of help in all aspects, and I want to correct a little, he is not box office poison." ”

After answering the two questions, the group of media reporters couldn't continue to block him and didn't let him go, so they got out of the way.

Tang Jili was able to get out, thinking that he would not be able to go to the main gate in the future.

Came to their crew's studio.

Lu Bu, Jin Xishan, Zhang Guirong, and Xia Yu have already arrived, and Chenglong has also rushed over from Xiangjiang.

In the past few days, the dungeon scene in the last part of the plot will be filmed, and the scene between Cheng Cage and Xia Yu will be completed here.

The scenery is built, and more than 70% of the area is green screen.

However, what they didn't expect was that the ten-minute plot would take fifteen days to shoot.

The most bitter are Lu Bu and Kim Hee-sun, because the two of them have the most scenes, hanging tightropes and flying around every day.

Lu Bu is okay,

"Twenty-three, first shot, Action!"

The last scene in this studio begins.

Zhang Guirong pressed a prop stone horse on his body, blood gushed out of his mouth, and shouted at Lu Bu: "Jack, save me!" ”

Lu Bu ran forward and grabbed his hand and said, "William! Hold! ”

Zhang Guirong screamed in pain, spit out another mouthful of blood, and said, "I'm really just for scientific research, I'm not a tomb robber." As he spoke, he took out a black stone from the pocket of his chest and stuffed it into Lu Bu's hand, saying, "You have to go out anyway and help me complete my research." ”

Lu Bu looked at him with tears in his eyes, with an unspeakable pain and deep sorrow.

I saw that Zhang Guirong was slowly covered by a green cloth, which means that he was drowned by mercury in the film.

Kim Hee-sun, who was on the side, had tears in his eyes, and he opened his mouth and called softly: "Jack! ”

Lu Bu looked up at her.

Kim Hee-sun choked up and asked, "Aren't you really Meng Yi?" ”

Lu Bu's expression was complicated, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he finally shook his head and said, "I'm not." As soon as the words came out, he saw two tears crossing Kim Hee-sun's cheeks, and then said eagerly: "It doesn't matter if I'm Meng Yi now, the important thing is that we leave here immediately." ”

Jin Xishan shed tears and said sadly: "You are not Meng Yi, I will not leave, I will wait for Meng Yi to come back." ”

Lu Bu glanced back at the entrance of the cave and said, "Yushu, hurry, it's too late!" ”

"No......" Kim Hee-sun shook his head and walked back in tears, "He's not dead, I'm going to wait for him to come back." ”

Lu Bu was shocked, got up and rushed towards her.

Kim Hee-sun kicked his legs, was hung by a tightrope, and flew backwards, his face full of grief.
