Yanjing, the building of the Mengjiang Studio.

Lu Bu and "The Legend of Chu and Han" only reached a cooperation intention, and the specific salary and script were not discussed.

This time, it was the director Gao Xixi, the screenwriter Wang Hailin, and the starring Chen Daomin, who gave enough face.

In Lu Bu's office, after a period of polite words, several people sat around the coffee table, drinking tea and talking about business.

Gao Xixi is barely a famous director, and the ratings of the dramas "The Sky of History", "Happiness Like Flowers", and "Sweet Honey" are quite good.

Wang Hailin is also barely a famous screenwriter, and his representative works include "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan 3", "Lu Bu and Diao Chan", and "Little Master of China".

Chen Daomin is a real showbiz bigwig, who has won various awards and titles.

"In terms of salary, we will give Mr. Lu the same as Mr. Chen's, 300,000 yuan for a single episode, what do you think?" The high rarity is not too verbose.

Low is definitely low.

This drama is expected to shoot 80 episodes, and the role of Xiang Yu is calculated according to the appearance of 40 episodes, which is 12 million, if this price is opened before the Spring Festival, it will be okay.

However, after Lu Bu went to the Spring Festival Gala, whether it was a movie or a TV series, the starting price has come to 20 million.

The other party moved out of Chen Daomin, the purpose is also obvious, that is, to block his way to increase the price, no matter how powerful your wrist is than Chen Daomin? gives you the same salary as Chen Daomin, and it's the top.

But when it comes to the ability to carry the ratings, or the ability to carry the box office, Chen Daomin is far inferior to him, which is an indisputable fact, so the calculation of remuneration cannot only depend on how big the wrist is.

However, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to discuss the salary, but said: "I have finished reading the script passed to me by Director Gao in the past few days, and there is a lot of room for improvement in the current story, I speak more straightforwardly, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Although he said this euphemistically, the implication was that "the script is not good", which also made Wang Hailin's face a little unbearable, and he said in a deep voice: "I don't know, what do you think?" ”

Lu Bu said bluntly, "Why will a successful historical drama win the audience in the end? Some people say that it depends on the re-reflection of the historical view, and some people say that it relies on the reinterpretation of historical figures, I personally believe that a successful historical drama, the correct historical view is like the backbone, and the shaping of the characters is the icing on the cake. ”

Chen Daomin squinted his eyes and said, "You mean, the plot has been adapted too much and there is no respect for history?" ”

Lu Bu refilled the tea for them, and said: "Film and television dramas are born for entertainment and leisure, not documentaries, it is normal to have adaptations, such as my "Myth", which has elements of immortality, but all adaptations are carried out around the theme of 'mythology', and the historical background is correct." ”

Gao Xixi saw that Wang Hailin seemed to be unable to hold back, so he hurriedly interjected and said, "Then, what are the mistakes in our script, please also ask Mr. Lu to correct one or two." ”

Lu Bu organized the language and said: "For example, 'Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have revolted', when reporting to Emperor Qin II, he actually directly said 'Chen Sheng and Wu Guang have revolted', I want to ask everyone, is it appropriate to use the word 'uprising' here?" It has to be a 'rebellion' or something, right? ”

"Another example is the "Three Character Classic", this book was written by Wang Yinglin of the Southern Song Dynasty, and someone continued to write it after the Republic of China, and then formed the current popular version, but in the school at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Mr. Teaching took the students to recite the "Three Character Classic", is it too advanced?"

"Another example is 'Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict' This is the eight words that often appear in film and television dramas, as long as the emperor promulgates the holy decree as soon as it begins, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it, in fact, these eight words appeared after the Ming Dynasty, and the holy decree is not only 'edict', there are three other specifications, namely the system, the summoning, and the edict, in addition, the sentence break is also a common problem, and the correct one should be 'Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says'."

In general, this is a mistake of common sense.

Wang Hailin's anger was forcibly suppressed, but his red face and red ears were retained.

Gao Xixi was surprised, not because of these mistakes, but because Lu Bu read the script carefully.

Chen Daomin's squinted eyes widened slightly, and he had a feeling of looking at Lu Bu differently.

"There are still a lot of things like paper and potatoes that shouldn't appear in the late Qin Dynasty, so I won't talk about this." Lu Bu continued to output and said: "Now I'll talk about the plot, the first question is that the story of the Qin Dynasty is too long, what is the meaning of the existence of the role of Princess Chenxi?" even wrote a heart-wrenching love for her, almost comparable to Yu Ji and Xiang Yu, Lu Pheasant and Liu Bang, you must know that Hu Hai killed all his brothers and sisters after he ascended the throne, so is this Princess Chenxi Hu Hai's niece or sister? I feel that the 'water injection' is too heavy and deviates from the theme of 'Chu Han'. ”

Gao Xi opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word.

The role of Princess Dawn is actually for the people on the investor side.

They are also helpless to add drama like this.

Wang Hailin was even more speechless, and he didn't know how to refute it.

The original name of the script he created was "The Biography of Liu Bang", the content and length were less than 80 episodes at all, and it was hurriedly launched after being renamed "The Legend of Chu and Han", and he had to hurry up and write it.

And because Yu Hewei, Yu Bin and other actors of the Qin Dynasty story have cooperated with Gao Xixi many times and are better at dealing with each other, he played a clever trick and amplified the story of the Qin Dynasty in the original script.

Chen Daomin asked with interest, "Is there anything else?" ”

Lu Bu continued: "The second problem is that it is too much to reverse the historical facts, especially the plot of the last twenty episodes, which vividly turns the historical drama into a palace battle drama, taking the climax part, Liu Bang's three wives developed the palace dispute to the front line of the Chu-Han War, and the court drama battle at this time completely crushed the Chu-Han dispute between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu. ”

"In the script, it is written that when Chu and Han were holding each other in Guangwu, Liu Bang's beloved concubine Mrs. Qi ran to the frontline position with Ruyi to compete for the position of the prince, but in history, Liu Bang retreated to Guanzhong after the defeat of Pengcheng and set up Liu Ying, the child born by Empress Lu and herself, as the prince, and Mrs. Qi took Ruyi to compete for the position of the prince It was a matter after Liu Bang Jianhan."

"And the historical upheaval of the palace battle drama is not exciting enough, and then there was another spy war, so that Liu Bang's little Lu Juan pretended to surrender to Xiang Yu as an undercover agent, and had a good time in Infernal Affairs."

This wave of output has hit critically, and Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin can't wait to find a crack to get into.

Last year, the news of the remake of the four famous novels was flying all over the sky, attracting the attention of countless investors, and they also wanted to get a share of the big drama market, so there was this hastily completed script of "The Legend of Chu and Han".

I never thought that there were so many unreasonable plots in it.

Chen Daomin was greatly surprised by the depth of Lu Bu's historical knowledge.

When filming "Myth", it was reported that Lu Bu was the film's historical consultant, and many people, including him, thought it was just a means of marketing hype for the crew, but now it seems that it is not.

He waited for Lu Bu to take a sip of tea, and then asked, "No?" ”

Lu Bu looked at it almost, and finally concluded: "The most exciting in the history of the Chu-Han dispute is strategy, fighting wits, Liu Bang's counterattack, and Xiang Yu's god of war, and most of the plot is about love, and important events such as dark Chen Cang, Pengcheng relief, Xiayi painting strategy, and Han Xin's destruction of the kingdoms...... and so on are almost a scene, and the most critical battle of Jing Cheng is brought over with a narration, and then all kinds of brain-made conspiracy theories are logically unreasonable. ”

"I think you also know that no matter what type of film it is, since it is based on real history, the audience will definitely be more serious, how much do you know about this history, have you done your homework, have you made mistakes, have you overdone artistic processing, and it is not the audience who is picky at this point, for example, I went to the school cafeteria to order a duck neck fried noodles, and the result was rat head fried noodles, even if it is delicious, I will have an opinion, because the goods are not right."

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion, if there is any offense, please don't take it to heart."

Wang Hailin wanted to say, 'The pen is for you, you will write', but the problem is that Lu Bu can't find fault with what he said.

Gao Xixi's eyes lit up at the moment, as if he had seen a baby.

Chen Daomin looked at Lu Bu intently, and became interested in this young man.

He has his own views on idol actors who have been criticized for having empty skins.

What he focuses on is not how much money they can get, millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, but whether you have done something of the same value and whether you are worthy of the audience after taking so much money.

And the problem is not that they are young, nor is it because they look, but because they do not have a correct outlook on their careers.

Where to scratch at every turn, where to fall, in cold water in winter, wearing a padded jacket in summer, these inconsequential things have been in the news, and even become the credit of an actor.

That's what your profession is, and that's what you suffer, because you took this money.

And the reason why Chen Daomin is willing to put down his body and come to see Lu Bu with Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin is that he heard that Lu Bu is different from other idol stars, not only his appearance is outstanding, his professional outlook is also correct, and the key is his acting skills.

I chatted for a while today, at least in the matter of treating the script, very seriously.

In today's entertainment industry, after some actors become famous, they immediately float, not to mention reading the script themselves, when they play on the set, they all ask their agents or assistants to play against each other.

Lu Bu gave him enough favor based on this alone.

Seeing that Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin didn't speak, Chen Daomin took the lead and said: "Gao Dao, Wang Bian, haven't you been looking for a suitable historical consultant, far away in the sky." ”

Gao Xi Xi and Wang Hailin looked at each other.

Are we looking for the right historical consultant?

How did we not know about this......

This is a step given by Chen Daomin, blaming the mistakes in the script on not finding a historical consultant.

Gao Xixi quickly reacted and said, "Yes, yes, I don't know if Mr. Lu is willing to take this position?" ”

Lu Bu glanced at Wang Hailin, he said that the script he wrote was worthless, it was impossible not to be angry, and if he interfered in the change of the script again, then this beam would be over.

However, as soon as he was about to open his mouth to refuse, Wang Hailin preemptively said: "Since the story of the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han at the end of the Qin Dynasty is not as famous as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we can only refer to historical books such as "Historical Records", "Han Shu", and "Zizhi Tongjian", but these three books are recorded in the form of classical Chinese, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and even if they can be understood, it is difficult to continue to read them......

When Lu Bu heard this, he said: "I know some details in this history, even those that are not recorded in the official history and the wild history, although there are not many of them, but they may be able to help the two of you find inspiration." ”

Chen Daomin, Gao Xixi, and Wang Hailin all have question marks on their faces.

There is no record, where did you hear it from?

It can't be imagined, right?

However, when Lu Bu told some secrets, the three of them were stunned when they heard it.

It's not an exaggeration at all, it's more exciting than movies and TV series.

And it's not speculation, it's logical.

As Lu Bu just said, these unknown secrets have brought a lot of inspiration to Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin.

Lu Bu's third pot of tea had already been emptied, and when he looked out the window, the sun had set, and then he said: "Teacher Chen, Director Gao, Wang Bian, it's not too early, let's find a place to eat and chat?" ”

When the three of them heard this, they all looked up together, only to realize that it was so late.

Lu Bu is the east, the old place, the original ecological hot pot restaurant in Shudi.

Hot pot is a carnival of a group of people, or it can be a carnival of one person, and you can't get tired of eating it.

Why are Sichuan hot pot and Chongqing hot pot so popular across the country? Because the taste of hot pot can bring people taste enjoyment, it can stimulate your stomach, stimulate your heart, and eat hot pot will have a hearty feeling, which other foods can't bring.

"This 'country chicken, duck and goose platter' in your shop, wow...... Although the meat is relatively coarse and old, the taste is pure, delicious, and the fishy smell is basically absent, it is my favorite dish, every time I come to order, I just have to try my luck, many times it is not provided, or it is robbed late. Gao Xi Xi ate a delicious slice of foie gras, and said with a face full of enjoyment.

"This hot pot restaurant is yours?" Chen Daomin was surprised.

"I invested in it in partnership with a few friends." Lu Bu explained.

"The taste and service is the best I've ever been to a hot pot restaurant, not one of them." Wang Hailin also frequented.

Today, Lu Bu is here, and the country chicken, duck and goose platter is naturally enough.

And when it came to the dinner table, they continued the topic of the script.

Lu Bu talked a lot, until midnight.

And he saw the stitches and negotiated something.

First, the salary was increased to 600,000 yuan for a single episode, on the condition that he would serve as a historical consultant and deputy martial arts instructor;

second, the martial arts instructor was given to Zhang Jin, the combination of the two has proved their strength more than once, and their reputation in the film and television industry is well-known, except for being expensive, there are no other shortcomings;

third, Yu Ji finalized Gao Yuanyuan's role;

Fourth, the costumes of the main characters are designed and produced in Splendid Hanfu.

"Teacher Chen, what do you think of this young man?"

"Delicate but not dry, deep but not arrogant, with maturity, talent and experience far beyond age."

"The future must be a character."

In the car, Chen Daomin, Gao Xixi, and Wang Hailin talked about Lu Bu again, and the overall evaluation was very high.

However......

High thinning is a bit painful.

Because the script has to be changed, the total number of episodes has been reduced to 64 episodes, the story of the Qin Dynasty has been reduced, and the roles of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu have been increased, that is to say, if Lu Bu can still maintain 40 episodes, then he will take away 24 million.

The budget of 240 million was lost by one-tenth all of a sudden.

Wang Hailin has changed from being angry at the beginning to being happy now.

After talking with Lu Bu, the direction of revision of the script was determined, and Lu Bu will also give some important events in the form of text in the future, and the details of the script have also been supplemented.

He has been preparing this script for more than three years and has spent a lot of effort, and he must be hoping to achieve a bumper harvest in ratings and word-of-mouth.

I hope that the script will become better and Chen Daomin, who has been his long-cherished wish for many years to play Liu Bang, a civilian emperor.

Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin gave him a chance, and Lu Bu surprised him.

The excitement of Chu Han's history is no less than that of the Three Kingdoms, and it can even be said that it is even more than that, of course he wants this drama to become a classic like the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

——————

Shichahai, large quadrangle.

After Lu Bu went around and shook off the paparazzi, it was already late at night.

"Who? Is it Sister Yu? Gao Yuanyuan on the bed was dazzled by the light and didn't see the person who opened the door.

"It's me." Lu Bu threw himself at her directly, almost knocking the bed apart.

"Ouch, what are you doing?" Gao Yuanyuan was startled and raised his hand to hit him.

"What do you say?" Lu Bu kissed it.

"Wait, you smell of hot pot, go take a shower first." Gao Yuanyuan resisted his attack with both hands.

"Okay, I'll clean you up later." Lu Bu got up and went to the bathroom.

The big courtyard is the only secret base he has left in Yanjing, in order not to be exposed, Yu Feihong usually can't come, because a few people don't have good anti-reconnaissance capabilities, and they can't get rid of those paparazzi, and he will bring them over if they want to come.

Gao Yuanyuan is here, and he has been living since the MV was filmed, and he didn't even go out.

She has long been accustomed to this kind of house life, eating, drinking, playing, and basking in the sun in the yard, not too comfortable.

"Wait, let's talk to me first." When Lu Bu came back from the bath, Gao Yuanyuan interrupted him again.

"Let's finish it first." Lu Bu raised his eyebrows.

"No, you ......" Gao Yuanyuan's cheeks were dizzy, and he said, "It's almost dawn." ”

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Lu Bu took her into his arms.

"How did you talk to the people from "The Legend of Chu and Han"?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"It's not bad, but the script needs to be overhauled, and the start-up time is estimated to be delayed for a few months." Lu Bu replied.

"You let me change it?" Gao Yuanyuan said curiously.

"I'm familiar with this history, and I must tell it if I see something wrong." Lu Bu replied.

"Also, Mythology has proven that you are right about historical rigor." Gao Yuanyuan praised.

"There can be adaptations, but they can't be too outrageous." Lu Bu said with a smile.

"Wouldn't I have to rest for months again?" Gao Yuanyuan sighed.

"A while ago, Brother Luo gave me a script, it's an idol drama, if you want to act, I can accompany you, it is estimated that it will be filmed in two or three months." Lu Bu is going to spoil his wife to the end, and after filming "Full House of Romance", idol dramas are not so resistant.

"Really?" Gao Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes flashed.

"Did I tell you a lie?" Lu Bu pinched her nose.

"Then I want to act." Gao Yuanyuan said without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll call Brother Luo tomorrow to talk about it." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Gao Yuanyuan was in a good mood, and immediately took the initiative to get into the blanket covering them.

Then there's the blocked content.

But in the end, it didn't reach dawn as Gao Yuanyuan said, after all, she was alone and couldn't bear it.
