At 9 a.m. on August 2, 2000, Jinling "Funny Family" on the set.

Lee Shengyao and the assistant director, set designer, and prop master are making final preparations.

The actors have long been conducting script workshops.

Once you're ready on set, you're ready to shoot.

Hucheng Satellite TV and Gusu Satellite TV have reached a PY deal, and the two satellite TV stations will buy the show together and broadcast it next year.

Before the filming of this TV series started, there were reporters from two TV stations who tracked and reported in an all-round way.

This time they will have half a year of publicity.

Li Shengyao held the house design draft paper in his hand, repeatedly compared, and strived to create an urban small building with Chinese characteristics.

"Director, someone is looking for you, and she said her name is Cai Yinong."

The assistant ran over and whispered.

Hearing this, Li Shengyao nodded, and then walked out.

Cai Yinong was only thirty years old at this time, which was the age of maturity but not old.

She has very good facial features, exercises regularly, and maintains a good figure.

is better looking than most of the post-90s female artists later.

"Hello, Miss Cai."

"Hello, Director Li."

The two sides exchanged a few words, and then sat down, Cai Yinong began to praise Li Shengyao for his talent, and Li Shengyao listened quietly.

Cai Yinong praised for nearly ten minutes, and when he saw that Li Shengyao still had a flat face, he secretly sighed in his heart that this young man's mental determination was really good.

She then said softly: "Director Li, I like your "Love Hotel" very much, you are so young and talented, you should not be buried in the mainland." ”

When Li Shengyao heard this, he looked over in surprise.

What do you mean, do you want to go to Hollywood?

"Director Li, I came here this time for one purpose, which is to invite you to our Tang Film and Television."

Tang Film and Television was established in 98.

Cai Yinong was only twenty-eight years old at that time, and she came out after graduating from high school, I have to say that this woman is very capable.

Of course, Li Shengyao will definitely not be able to watch Tang Film and Television now, and Cai Yinong may not be richer than him now.

In fact, even if he is penniless, he will not join Tang Film and Television.

The Tang people can rise because about 2,000 years, the coal bosses have not really entered the market.

The Tang people have some connections in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and they can attract investment and take advantage of the mature screenwriters in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Later, when the coal boss entered, Hong Kong and Taiwan capital became small, and the Tang people gradually declined.

In the Internet era, the Tang people were even more completely defeated, and they did not have the funds to produce high-quality dramas.

Without waiting for Li Shengyao to speak, Cai Yinong continued: "Although our company has just been established, we have strong funds in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and we signed a contract with Guan Zhiling and Li Yapeng, as long as you are willing to come to Tangren, you can find them to act." ”

If you want to say that the first student in the mainland is now, it is Li Yapeng.

Lu Yi is not enough for Li Yapeng to have a card now.

"Carry on Love to the End", "Beijing-Hong Kong Love Line", "Stars, Moon and Sun", "Love Letter" and a series of TV series, Li Yapeng is the most popular male star among female audiences in the mainland today.

Not to mention Guan Zhiling, the goddess of Hong Kong Island movies.

Being able to direct these two people should be the dream of many directors.

Especially Goddess Guan, who is Chinese New Year's Eve eight years old today, is the last peak of her appearance and figure.

Li Shengyao glanced at Cai Yinong and shook his head, "I don't like to work with big names. ”

He is very self-aware, and in the eyes of big-name stars, he is a small director.

And his drama, he wants everyone to listen to him.

At this stage, even if he has money, let him invite Liang Chaowei and Liu Dehua, he is too lazy to go.

If you don't listen to me, even if you're a superstar, then I won't hold you.

Cai Yinong was stunned, "The two of them are very talkative." ”

Li Shengyao still shook his head.

"Then you don't want to go to Hong Kong Island to make a movie? Our company has relationships with major film companies on Hong Kong Island, and your talent is definitely not limited to TV dramas, you can go to a bigger stage. ”

At this time, Hong Kong Island films have begun to decline, but for filmmakers, Hong Kong Island is still the best film market in China.

Wang Zhiwen, Xu Jinglei made a cameo appearance in "Fengyun", and Zhang Ziyi made a cameo appearance in "The Legend of Shushan".

Top mainland stars are nothing more than a small role in Hong Kong Island films.

But......

Lee Shengyao naturally knows how xenophobic the Hong Kong Island film industry is.

Moreover, Cai Yinong, this is simply bragging.

Where does she have any film resources, she is just a film columnist on Hong Kong Island, who cares about her in the Hong Kong Island film industry.

Li Shengyao suspected that Li Yapeng was fooled by Cai Yinong in this way.

He couldn't help laughing, "Miss Cai, it's okay for you to fool yourself, don't fool me, you really have something to do with the Hong Kong Island film industry?" ”

Cai Yinong's old face was red, but she was thick-skinned, so she naturally didn't care about this little thing, "When my company first started, there was nothing, and now I have filmed three dramas and am preparing more TV series." ”

"I appreciate your talent very much, come and communicate with you sincerely, I hope you will think about it."

Li Shengyao shook his head, "No need, I have already created my own film and television company in Yanjing, and I will not go to other companies." ”

"Do you want to make romantic dramas for the rest of your life?"

Li Shengyao smiled, "Of course not, just watch it, I will make other dramas." ”

Cai Yinong shook her head, she didn't believe that Li Shengyao could find a big investment and shoot a big drama.

"Young people, don't be too proud, you'll regret it later."

Li Shengyao was not angry, he looked Cai Yinong up and down, "Miss Cai, I am very optimistic about the Hong Kong Island film market, I think the Chinese Film Center will be in the mainland in the future." ”

Cai Yinong pursed his lips and did not answer.

In the past, Hong Kong Island movies in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia could get tens of millions of box office.

Now it can't be sold anymore, and the box office on the island is up to 40 million, which makes their investment smaller and smaller.

But in the past, Hong Kong Island films were so brilliant that many Hong Kong Island filmmakers are still full of confidence, believing that Hong Kong Island films can be rebuilt in the future.

Cai Yinong is one of them.

"In two years at the latest, there will be super blockbusters with a box office of more than 200 million in the mainland."

The current highest box office record in the mainland is "Titanic" in 98, which won 360 million, and the highest local box office is "Life and Death Choice" at the beginning of this year, 117 million.

Cai Yinong doesn't believe that the mainland can have more than 200 million blockbusters in the past two years.

"Impossible."

Li Shengyao smiled, "You just wait, if you can't get along in two years, you can find me, and I will leave you a position as the executive president." ”

Cai Yinong works conscientiously and responsibly, and has a good relationship with his artists.

It's just that the vision is not good, there are limitations of the times, such people are suitable to be executors, not decision-makers.

If Cai Yinong works for Li Shengyao, he will take her in.

When Cai Yinong heard this, he glanced at Li Shengyao curiously, thanked him, and then left.

Li Shengyao returned to the set and clapped his hands and said, "Check it one last time, there is no problem, we will start filming tomorrow." ”
