At 4 p.m. on September 30, 2001, the sun was shining in the Yanjing area, and the autumn breeze was blowing.

Liangmahe Building Fenghua Film and Television Company, Li Shengyao met a Peninsula man he knew, who was Shen Dongyue, who came to buy a drama last year.

This time, in addition to Shen Dongyue, there was also a middle-aged man wearing glasses who came over, this person could not speak Mandarin, after Shen Dongyue introduced, Li Shengyao learned that this person was the director of "Blue Life and Death Love" - Yixi Lake.

Lao Yi is still very talented, directing "Blue Life and Death Love", "Winter Love Song", and "Summer Aroma".

If nothing else, Yixi Lake will prepare for "Winter Love Song" this year and wait for filming to start next year.

But he didn't expect Li Shengyao to shoot first, he came here, he should have doubts about this matter.

Shen Dongyue was very polite and greeted Li Shengyao for a while, which showed that the purpose of coming to Yanjing was to buy the broadcast copyright of "Winter Love Song".

The last time "Love Hotel" was broadcast on the peninsula, the response was not bad, and the ratings were 30%.

KBS has made a lot of money, and they have been paying attention to Lee Shengyao's works.

"Funny Family" has too many episodes, and it is still a sitcom in the mainland, and they don't dare to try it, but "Winter Love Song" is different.

This is a very bloody drama, and after reading the plot synopsis, KBS felt that it was very interesting and appetizing.

Isn't this what they are after?

Fake brother and sister, car accident, amnesia, terminal illness, blindness.

It's exciting to think about.

So Shin Dongyue came over again.

Li Shengyao was naturally happy that someone came to send money, but there were still some things to say.

"Mr. Shen, we spent 10 million on the filming of "Winter Love Song", compared with "Love Hotel", the production cost has increased by six times, and in terms of the price of a single episode, we will increase it a little."

Shen Dongyue expressed understanding, "Director Li, can you give a definite price?" ”

"Ninety thousand episodes."

Peninsula people are stingy, the price is high, they won't buy it.

But the price remains the same, and people will think you are stupid.

Shen Dongyue had inquired about the purchase price of the island country earlier, and he could accept this increase, "Yes, Director Li, happy cooperation." ”

The two then prepared to sign the contract, and an hour later, the two parties completed the signing.

The 90,000 episodes of "Winter Sonata" were sold to KBS, and the Peninsula sent money within three days.

Shen Dongyue was very happy, "Director Li, you are a cheerful person, and it is very pleasant to talk about things with you." ”

"Mr. Shen is polite, let's go, I'll have a treat, let's have a meal."

Next to the company is the famous Liangma River Hotel, and the three of them then went to eat together.

Li Shengyao ordered a table of specialties.

Yi Xihu drank four glasses of wine in a row, his face was slightly red, and then he mustered up his courage and asked cautiously: "Director Li, when did you have the idea to write the script of "Winter Love Song"? ”

"When I was filming "Funny Family" last year, I was in Jinling, and after a day's work, I went back to the hotel to write the script, and many actors and field workers knew about it."

When Yi Xihu heard this, he stared at Li Shengyao again.

Seeing that his face was calm and his eyes were sincere, not like lying, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After filming "Blue Life and Death Love", he took a break for more than half a year, and then prepared his second romantic drama.

That is, since March this year, he sat and chatted with several screenwriters, and they expressed their opinions and slowly conceived a drama full of all kinds of blood.

By September, they had already conceived seventy-seven-eighty-eight, but they never expected that at this time, some screenwriters said that they had seen a Chinese drama, and the plot was seventy or eighty percent similar to what they thought.

This frightened Yixihu, on the one hand, he was worried that there were ghosts on his side, and on the other hand, he was worried that his drama was too similar to a Chinese drama and would be scolded by the audience for plagiarism.

When he heard that Shen Dongyue was coming to Yanjing, he immediately followed, and he wanted to verify it in person and ask Li Shengyao when he would start preparing "Winter Love Song".

At this time, he heard Li Shengyao's answer, and he was sure that it was a coincidence.

It's hard to believe, but it's a coincidence.

After all, they were ready to write the script last year.

It's just that the script prepared by the group of them before is about to be overturned.

Fortunately, the project has not really started filming yet, otherwise the loss will be even greater.

Thinking of this, Yi Xihu cautiously asked, "Director Li, can you reveal what the theme of your next drama is?" ”

This "Winter Love Song" almost crashed, and the next drama can't crash.

Li Shengyao understood Yi Xihu's mentality, he was in a good mood, and chuckled: "My next drama is a criminal investigation drama." ”

When Yi Xihu heard this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his tense nerves were completely relaxed.

He still plans to prepare a romantic drama, or a drama like "Blue Life and Death Love".

Li Shengyao doesn't make romantic dramas, so he is much more at ease.

He hurriedly raised his glass, then got up and bent down to toast a glass of wine.

"Criminal investigation dramas are good, and criminal investigation dramas have social significance."

Li Shengyao nodded, "Yes, I won't shoot romantic dramas in the future, I will shoot more vigilant, urging, and thought-provoking dramas." ”

"Director Li, you are a person with noble pursuits, and you deserve the respect of all our peers."

When Yixihu heard this, he was even happier, and the sycophant was immediately delivered.

Li Shengyao held back a smile and raised his teacup to touch Yixi Lake.

The reason why he didn't copy it was because the dramas behind Yixi Lake were not very good.

Yixi Lake also filmed "Summer Aroma", "Spring Waltz", and "Love Rain".

Among them, the male protagonist of "Summer Aroma" is Song Seung-heon, and the heroine is Son Ye-jin, this big cast is obviously ambitious, but the effect is not good.

Compared with "Blue Life and Death Love" and "Winter Love Song", "Summer Aroma" does not have a 30% rating on the peninsula, only in the mainland, Hong Kong Island has a little splash, and the island countries have not introduced it.

The peninsula entertainment industry is much more realistic than that of the mainland, and a once-brilliant director like Yixihu is no longer good for two dramas, and the resources behind him have dropped a lot all of a sudden.

Later, he raised money to make a movie by himself, and the box office hit the streets, so he completely withdrew from the circle.

Shen Dongyue drank a few glasses of wine and ate a lot of meat in a big gulp, and he didn't dare to let go of eating like this on the peninsula.

"Director Li, do you want to shoot with us Al Jazeera?"

Shen Dongyue also knew that "Love Hotel" and "Funny Family" were sold in Southeast Asia, and he felt that on the one hand, the drama was good, and on the other hand, there were many Chinese.

Chinese dramas have this advantage, and they are better for export.

Korean dramas are now thinking about going out.

Shen Dongyue thought that maybe he could use Chinese dramas to spread out in Southeast Asia first.

Lee Sung-yao thought of Son Ye-jin and Lee Young-ae, and smiled, "Of course you can have a chance, and now I have always hoped that we can unite together, resist Hollywood, resist Western culture, and carry forward our own culture." ”

When Shen Dongyue and Yi Xihu heard this, they were in awe.

"Director Li, you are a person with great ambition and spirit, come, have a drink."
