Chapter 65: Don't do things that make a loss
At 11 o'clock in the morning of February 11, 2001, the weather in Yanjing was acceptable, and a round of not very bright sun hung in the sky.
In a conference room of the CCTV building, the main creators of the "Funny Family" crew came over.
Li Dafu, Li Mingqi, as well as Guo Xiaodong, Zhang Zhijian, Chen Hao, and Xue Zhiqian and others.
Except for the 100-day baby, the people from the Li family in the TV series all came over.
Li Shengyao naturally came over, he didn't have anything to do this time, the main thing was to accompany Chen Hao and come over to see his old friends by the way.
The reason why the crew of "Funny Family" came to Yanjing and gathered in the CCTV building is because after the broadcast of this drama, the feedback was very good.
Zhang Xiaoyan, the chief director of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, planned to invite them to come over to perform, the Spring Festival Gala has passed, but there will be a small Spring Festival Gala soon-Lantern Festival Gala.
When Li Shengyao and Chen Hao got the news, they said goodbye to their relatives in their hometown and quickly rushed to Yanjing.
stayed in his hometown for less than 12 days, and Li Shengyao spent the rest of his time in his room writing scripts, except for meeting relatives.
Chen Hao was much busy, Li Shengyao gave her the bank card and asked her to take the original owner's parents to buy a house.
In just a few days, I bought three sets of commercial houses in the middle of the building, as well as a villa, and five shops.
The house price in the small county town is 501 square meters, and the total cost is less than 600,000.
When leaving, Li Shengyao left 400,000 yuan to give them decoration and living expenses.
The two of them flew at nine o'clock last night and arrived in Yanjing in the early morning, and then Li Shengyao took Chen Hao to the big yard he bought in the DC area.
He also gave Chen Hao the key to the yard so that she could have time to come and clean up, or simply move in.
Chen Hao was excited, Li Shengyao was tired from the plane, and she had to come up and toss.
When I woke up this morning, I was still radiant, but Li Shengyao was a little tired.
He just chatted with Li Mingqi and Guo Xiaodong for a few words, and then found a place to sit down, close his eyes, and rest quietly.
After a while, the conference room was much quieter, Li Shengyao opened his eyes and saw a middle-aged man, this person looked very ordinary, but his aura was extremely strong, and his voice was calm and powerful.
This person is Zhang Xiaoyan, the chief director of this year's Spring Festival Gala.
Li Shengyao sat quietly, did not lean over, and did not speak.
Zhang Xiaoyan saw Li Shengyao, and after knowing his identity, he immediately stretched out his right hand enthusiastically, "Director Li, long admiration, long admiration." ”
"Director Zhang is polite."
Zhang Xiaoyan then said: "Director Li, I like to watch your "Funny Family" very much, you are really talented, this time let them come over in a hurry, I am actually very nervous here."
"I hope they can have a very good performance, but the time is too rushed, our screenwriting ability is not good, Director Li, can you help, help them write a sketch, everyone knows your ability, it must be no problem."
When Li Shengyao heard this, he smiled and shook his head, "Director Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm writing a movie script recently, and it's not funny at all, so I can't turn my mind around, and I can't write a sketch." ”
When Zhang Xiaoyan heard this, he was not angry, he just asked casually.
It's best to have a story, it doesn't matter if you don't, before he decided to invite "Funny Family" to Yanjing, he had already asked people to write stories.
He just wants to see if he can be cheap, after all, he is absolutely talented to write a script like "Funny Family".
Zhang Xiaoyan then left.
Immediately afterwards, a screenwriter came over and sent the actors of "Funny Family" the script they wrote.
Chen Hao quickly glanced at it, came to Li Shengyao and sat down, "It's so embarrassing, it's much worse than what you wrote." ”
In the past few days, Chen Hao has been with Li Shengyao every night, she watched Li Shengyao write the script of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series with her own eyes, and she knew this man's talent, and she admired it even more.
Li Shengyao smiled and did not answer.
He won't help write the script, not to mention CCTV's strict review, whether it can pass is a question.
Even if it passes, it's just some false name.
It's not interesting.
Isn't it fragrant that he wrote "Pirates of the Caribbean" well? Then go to the beautiful country to register the copyright, and when Disney sets up the project, he will either buy the script at a high price, or let him participate in a share, and then get dividends.
The "Pirates of the Caribbean" series has at least a billion dollars in profits, which is the big head.
Chen Hao understood what Li Shengyao meant, so he stopped talking and got up to talk to the script with others.
Li Shengyao watched for a while, agreed with Chen Hao to pick her up from work at night, and then left.
……
The employees of Fenghua Film and Television Company have not yet started, and Li Shengyao asked them to take a leave of absence until the sixteenth of the first month.
At this time, there was no one in the company, and he had nowhere to go, so he returned to the big courtyard in the DC area and continued to write the script.
Movie scripts are naturally more difficult to write than TV drama scripts, there will be more details, and he doesn't write them every day these days, sometimes he has to meet relatives, sometimes he has to go out to exercise.
There are also times when you have to take Chen Hao to hang out.
Now he has only written the screenplay for the first three parts of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Originally, he wanted to write several movie scripts, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and he didn't have that much time.
I can only wait for the time to pick up the wool later, in fact, if I think about it carefully, there are really not many things that can be written.
Most of those Hollywood movies have original novels, or comics.
After writing the script of the five-part series of "Pirates of the Caribbean", he went to a beautiful country, became a member of the Screenwriters Association of Beautiful Countries, and registered the copyright.
Maybe he should go get a visa now.
After finishing his work in Hollywood, he returned to China and prepared for "Winter Sonata" with all his might.
He had about a month, and when he was ready, he went to the Northeast to start filming.
The ideal location for filming is Harbin City, where the snow is heavy and the architecture is quite exotic, and the picture is easy to have a sense of story.
However, it is said that there are more rules over there, and Li Shengyao is not sure if he can shoot in Harbin City, whether it can become Shencheng, anyway, it is one of the two major cities in Northeast China.
He wrote until half past eight in the evening, when Li Shengyao received a call from Chen Hao, saying that he would get off work in half an hour, and he got up and left.
He naturally knows how to drive, but the original owner has not yet taken the driver's license.
He plans to shoot "Winter Love Song" and then go back to his hometown to get a driver's license.
In my hometown, the requirements are not so strict, and I should be able to get a driver's license within a month, and I can buy a car at that time, which is much more convenient for pick-up.
When Li Shengyao came to the CCTV building, he saw Chen Hao with a tired face.
Others aren't in great shape either.
The preparation time is too short, and the big guys are in a hurry.
Guo Xiaodong was young, and couldn't help but step forward and ask: "Director, do you have a new story, this story is awkwardly acted, not the style in the play, if it is the style in the play, give me one hour enough to perform."
Li Shengyao said with a smile: "If you can go to the Lantern Festival party, you can steal the fun, perform well, don't think about what you don't have."
He then picked up Chen Hao, got in the car and left.
What is not good and laborious, Li will not do.
