At 9 a.m. on August 7, 2001, it was a little overcast in the Yanjing area, and it looked like it was going to rain.

In the general manager's office of Fenghua Film and Television Company in Liangmahe Building, Li Shengyao and Guo Xiaodong sat opposite each other, and he pushed the script of "Signal" to Guo Xiaodong, "Take a good look at this time, at the latest three months, we will shoot this drama, that is, the criminal investigation drama I told you." ”

When Guo Xiaodong heard this, he was a little excited to take over the script.

After the end of "Funny Family", he took over a TV series from another company and played an infatuated male number two, and then waited for Li Shengyao's script.

He saw the idol drama written by Li Shengyao, a sitcom, and he believed that this criminal investigation drama must be very good.

"Think about it carefully, I hope this drama can win awards, not only for excellent TV series, but also for actors."

"Signal" is set up with two male protagonists, and the old policeman fifteen years ago has a better character and is easier to impress.

In the play, it is set that this old policeman should be in his early thirties at the beginning.

However, Elder Guo Xiaodong, there is no problem in this regard.

The only question is whether he can act well.

For this drama, Li Shengyao likes it very much, in his heart, this is the first criminal investigation drama on the peninsula.

The only domestic criminal investigation dramas that can surpass this drama are "Evidence of Innocence", "The Silent Truth", and "The Long Season".

Others may be good, but not as good as "Signal".

"Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" is super god in front, but there are a lot of praises in the back, and the part of the plot of the male protagonist's undercover is like a child playing at home.

If you don't have this part of the plot, you can fight with "Signal".

As for why not copy "Proof of Innocence", or "The Long Season".

Because these two dramas are not easy to sell, these two are online dramas, and there is no specific ratings data for TV broadcasts.

But if you think about it carefully, those aunts and uncles with remote controls, housewives, will they stop for these two dramas?

He didn't make this drama to make money, but to win awards and improve his qualifications.

But there's no need to lose money.

"Signal" is very well completed, the plot is ups and downs, the pace is very fast, and it was a hot seller in Southeast Asia that year.

Locally, "Signal" was broadcast not on the three major television stations, but on pay television, and as a result, it achieved a maximum rating of 15 percent.

That was in the era of smartphones.

Before 2010, the Peninsula's ratings were 30 or 40 percent, but they dropped a lot, and the annual ratings of the three major television stations were only 178 percent.

In addition, the island country has always been very proud of its own mystery dramas, but the island country introduced "Signal" and bought the rights to remake it.

This shows the charm of "Signal".

"Signal" tells the story of two generations of police officers working together to solve the case, and there is no problem with the general direction, and the details can be changed and moved to the mainland.

Guo Xiaodong took the script, flipped through it, and after reading it for a while, he couldn't help but turn to the last page.

"Your character didn't die in the end, don't worry."

The Korean version of "Signal" has finally ended, the bad guys have not all been punished, the life and death of the old policeman is an open-ended ending, and they are going to shoot a second season.

Of course, this is not good, Li Shengyao changed those big people into businessmen, and the old policemen were both wise and brave, and captured all the bad guys in one fell swoop.

Guo Xiaodong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then he left excitedly with the script.

Li Shengyao stood in front of the glass window, looking into the distance.

It was very dark in the north, and it should have rained heavily over there, and it would rain in Yanjing soon.

But Haiyan can soar high in a rainstorm, and he can.

At this time, the various awards of internal entertainment are still very authoritative, and there is no so-called water queen.

It is more difficult to win awards than to make money, and if he wants to win awards, he must shoot this drama well.

He wrote the script as early as when he was filming "Funny Family", but it was not a simple matter to move the mainland, and it was revised for a long time before he showed it to Guo Xiaodong.

But Li Shengyao still has no bottom, because if you calculate it in 2,000 years, 15 years ago was 1987, and he has no impression of that era.

In order not to make mistakes, he will also take the script to visit several old police officers in Shanghai and ask for their help.

……

In a rental room next to the Yenching Film Academy, Guo Xiaodong was reading the script given by Li Shengyao.

In the setting of "Signal", the two male protagonists can be connected through walkie-talkies across time and space.

Guo Xiaodong looked a little confused, he was a little confused.

Of course, he can see that this is a good drama.

At this moment, a boy wearing pants and showing a big white belly walked by.

This boy is not good-looking, his eyes are slippery, and he looks a little happy, this person is a student of the ninety-seventh grade of Yanjing Film Academy, called Huang Haibo.

He had just graduated and was living in such a cramped rental house when he had no money.

Guo Xiaodong has filmed several films, all of them are the main actors, and naturally made some money.

It is said that they will be moving out soon.

This made Huang Haibo envious, and even more envious was that it is said that in the next drama of Fenghua Film and Television Company, Guo Xiaodong has been determined to be the male number one.

Many students from the acting department of the film academy are talking, and everyone says that Guo Xiaodong's first drama stole the limelight from Zhao Yang, and this time it should be popular.

Signing a company is different.

Huang Haibo pestered Guo Xiaodong before and asked him to help introduce him, but Guo Xiaodong refused, saying that Li Shengda's vision was difficult to figure out.

He Lin in their class before, Li Shengyao didn't ask for it.

At this time, seeing Guo Xiaodong sitting at the desk reading the script, Huang Haibo was envious.

He walked over, "Lao Guo, what are you looking at?" ”

"New script."

"Can I take a look?"

"Of course not."

Although he did not sign a confidentiality contract, Guo Xiaodong still had this idea.

Huang Haibo pouted, "It can't be a bad script." ”

"What nonsense, this is a good book, the director said that he wanted to win the award."

If you want to win the prize, it must be a good book.

I want to see it.

Huang Haibo scratched his head, "Look at Ling's appearance, it's like a monkey in a zoo, don't you understand, I'll help you take a look." ”

Guo Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, and then thought that although Huang Haibo was gorgeous, he was quite reliable, and he should not leak the script.

"Okay, help me see."

The setting of "Signal" does sound a bit mysterious in this era, but if you don't think about why it is the way it is and accept it easily, then it is easy to understand the script.

Huang Hai thought about the melon seeds, and he saw it faster than Guo Xiaodong, and he immediately understood what it meant.

When it gets dark, my eyes hurt.

Huang Hai turned on the light with a bang, and then realized that he had been watching for most of the day.

This script is really good, no wonder it is said that it is going to win the award.

He looked at Guo Xiaodong enviously, "Old Guo, you must help me, let me play fifteen years later, just a member of the unsolved case team." ”

"I'm not a director, how can I help you?"

"You can help me introduce, help me say good things, and let Director Li know me."

He really likes "Signal", thinking that if he can act in such a drama, even if he doesn't make money, it will be a kind of enjoyment.

"Help me, I'll give you all the phone numbers of all the girls in our class."
