Chapter 19: New Play
Bang Bang Bang!
The sound of firecrackers is one year old.
The old year is over completely, and the new year has truly arrived.
New year, new atmosphere.
The sixteenth day of the first month.
Datang finally started work, and Chen Nan came to the company as soon as possible.
"Director Li, Sister K."
"Happy New Year, Wishing you prosperity, Li is funny."
Chen Nan was beaming with joy and gave up his hands with Li Guoli and Cai Yinong.
"Nam Tsai is coming today?"
Li Guoli looked at Cai Yinong.
"Agreed in advance."
Cai Yinong turned around with a smile and picked up two red envelopes from the table: "Na, one is mine and the other is Director Li." β
"Thank you, Sister K."
"Thank you, Director Li."
Chen Nan was also not polite, took the red envelope and said two auspicious words.
Although he has a backbone in the back of his head and wants to be independent before he makes a career, Li Guoli and Cai Yinong currently treat him as a junior, and Chen Nan also treats these two sincerely.
It's good to gather and disperse, and it's just that.
If the contract cannot be terminated smoothly, Chen Nan will also remember the love between the two.
But the best situation is that Li Guoli and Cai Yinong don't admit death too much, they have to insist on holding, if they can give Chen Nan a certain share, he is also happy and relaxed, and is willing to continue to struggle under the wings of the two.
Pity.
Datang, the original time and space, insisted on choosing to sell part of its shares until 2015, and at that time, Hu Ge, Liu Shishi and other ministers of the humerus were able to take shares in Datang.
It is extremely difficult for Chen Nan to say that Cai Yinong and Li Guoli will give up their shares when they are about to jump back in three or two years.
β¦β¦
Don't think about that yet.
Chen Nan sat down.
Cai Yinong said with a smile: "Boss Xia has already read the script of "Baolian Lantern" and agreed to invest. Director Li proposed that you continue to work with the team and serve as the screenwriter and assistant director at the same time, what do you think? β
"I can't ask for it!"
Of course Chen Nan is willing.
On paper, it is shallow.
He read a lot of directing books some time ago, and learned a lot from Li Guoli in the crew of "The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Lang".
But it's still one layer apart.
This time as an assistant to the director, it was a legitimate learning opportunity.
Li Guoli said with a smile on the side: "You didn't talk much in the last group, but every sentence was on point. I see that you are interested in the director's profession, so I will let people take you again. β
"Thank you, Director Li."
Chen Nan was delighted.
The project has just been finalized.
Cai Yinong is thinking about the next project here: "How did you write those three books?" β
Li Guoli also sat down.
From "Fish Beauty" to "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" to "Baolian Lantern", Chen Nan's creative ability has been fully recognized by these two bigwigs, and he has paid more and more attention to Chen Nan's script.
Thereinto.
"Fish Beauty" has good ratings.
"The Wrong Sedan Chair to Marry the Right Lang" is in post-production, but judging from the quality of the rough cut, it will never lose "Fish Beauty", Cai Yinong and Li Guoli held the film before the festival, and they have preliminarily finalized the broadcast intention with four TV stations, and two more are also a little interesting.
It's almost the test of the market.
With these two works in front and the level of "Baolian Lantern" behind, the two are of course full of expectations for Chen Nan's next works.
Chen Nan didn't sell it either, took out the script from his backpack and handed it to the two: "Detective of the Republic of China" has been completed, and "Love Through Time and Space" and "Young Zhang Sanfeng" have only completed the synopsis and episode outline. β
Chen Nan originally determined the two scripts, one is "Baolian Lantern", and the other is "Detective of the Republic of China".
The former accumulates screenwriting qualifications.
The latter wants to play the leading role.
But after Chen Nan completely recalled "Detective of the Republic of China" with the help of points, he felt that there were still differences in the times. Therefore, for the sake of safety, when I came to see Cai Yinong a year ago, I first mentioned "Love Through Time and Space", and then mentioned "Young Zhang Sanfeng".
Keep up with the times.
He is now not qualified to take risks by trial and error.
"Republic of China suspense."
Li Guoli took "Detective of the Republic of China", flipped through it twice at random, and put it aside, not very interested.
At present, it is best for Datang to focus on ancient costumes, and it is more experienced in this area.
"Love through time."
The play tells the story of the cultural relics thief playboy and the policewoman Zhang Chuchu who fought for the cultural relics 'Dream Fairy Pillow' in the Ming Dynasty cultural relics exhibition, and as a result, they traveled to the early Ming Dynasty together and fell in love with Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Di respectively.
The plot is based on comedy.
The overall atmosphere is somewhat similar to "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair", which is a light comedy of costume love, but "Love" adds the element of crossing, which is more fashionable.
The synopsis of the story is also good.
Butβ
"Romance, idol, modern, costume, funny, crossed."
"With so many elements mixed together, is the quality of the script assured?"
Li Guoli looked at Chen Nan.
It's so mixed.
If you don't pay attention to it, it will be messy, and you will lose sight of one or the other, which requires a very high level of ability from the screenwriter.
Chen Nan was not intimidated, "There are scripts for the first two episodes at the bottom, Director Li can take a look." β
During the Spring Festival, Chen Nan almost didn't go out, and stayed at home to write scripts.
Not only "Love Through Time and Space", but also the script of another "Young Zhang Sanfeng" also wrote the first two episodes.
These two -
The former one is known as the originator of the time-traveling drama, which became popular with Zhang Ting and Xu Zheng.
The latter is a martial arts boutique at the beginning of the 21st century, starring Zhang Weijian, Li Bingbing, and Su Youpeng, with beautiful martial arts scenes, exciting and interesting plots, and extremely high quality.
These two dramas may not lose to "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Car".
β¦β¦
"There's no hurry."
"Wait for the broadcast of "The Wrong Sedan to Marry the Right Lang" in March and April, and see the reaction."
Li Guoli hesitated in the last two books, but he didn't make a decision in a hurry.
Chen Nan understands Datang's current difficulties, "Marrying the Right Man in the Wrong Sedan Chair" has not yet been broadcast, and the invested funds have not yet been returned. And Datang's current cash flow must first follow "Baolian Lantern".
I can't afford to start a second drama.
At least for the time being.
However, the situation should improve in March or April.
Chen Nan is not in a hurry.
It's hard to push forward with the TV series.
He had other tricks.
"Director Li."
"Sister K."
Chen Nan took out a few more scripts from his backpack and looked at the two: "Does the company have any plans to make a movie?" β
Cai Yinong picked up the scriptββ
"Skinny Men and Women".
"Marry a Rich Man".
"I See a Ghost in My Left Eye".
"There is a Hollywood in Xiangjiang".
"Musket Walking".
"Beautiful Times".
"Three Watches: Homecoming".
"Double Pupils".
and Infernal Affairs.
β¦β¦
"So much?"
Cai Yinong looked stupid.
"I'm not done." Chen Nan smiled shyly.
This is the 'cast a wide net' in his 'get fame early' plan.
The scripts of these films selected by him, the only one that can be remembered after 20 years is "Infernal Affairs". But in fact, the other eight scripts were either higher at the box office that year or were award-winning works.
And most of them will be filmed and released in the year after tomorrow.
Chen Nan is ready to write it, register the copyright first, and then send it to the original director one by one according to the map.
Of course, it's good to be fancied.
I can't look at it, and the loss is not big.
The central strategy is 'luck'.
Anyway, with the strength of him and Datang, he has not been able to make movies in the past one or two years, so it is better to get involved than to sit and watch these good movies being made one after another in the next two or three years.
Nine books!
And they are all voted for the director of the original time and space, as well as the producer of the original time and space, maybe there will be resonance?
Don't ask for more.
As long as you can make one or two, it's a good thing.
It would be great if these two won the same awards as the original plane.
Now the domestic atmosphere is generally biased towards 'admiring the foreign and flattering the foreign', and the external awards are good, if the movie made by his book can win the award, the qualifications will suddenly increase, which is equivalent to a layer of gold.
Before the complete decline of Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, Chen Nan wanted to rub a wave.
