For domestic entertainment, in February 2004, the biggest thing was the large-scale release of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in the mainland.

China Film is particularly active, and it is said that it has spent one million on publicity.

This movie is indeed very interesting, on the day of the mainland premiere, Li Shengyao brought a ticket of Fenghua actors to the scene to support and said some good things.

The box office momentum of the follow-up movie is very good, and there should be no problem in getting 30 million in the end.

For Zhejiang Satellite TV, the biggest gain in February is that they introduced a variety show produced by Fenghua, which includes popular students Hu Ge and Wang Kai, this variety show is called "Run, Brother".

At that time, Xiangnan Satellite TV, Gusu Satellite TV, and Hucheng Satellite TV all went to watch the finished film, but these three were a little hesitant after watching it.

Such outdoor variety shows are not very popular at this time.

Gu Huaiqiu took out his courage at this time and bought the twelve episodes of this season's variety show for 15 million.

Fenghua Film and Television then announced that it would produce a second season.

"Run, Brother" was broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV on Friday night.

The ratings are okay, the broadcast started at 0.9, and the highest rose to 1.7, with an average of 1.4.

It is better than the general TV drama ratings of Zhejiang Satellite TV.

However, the price of fifteen million is actually a little higher.

Gu Huaiqiu called Li Shengyao and told about it, he didn't want to regret it, he just wanted to express that Zhejiang Satellite TV was very righteous this time, and if there will be a good drama in Fenghua in the future, he should consider Zhejiang Satellite TV.

Li Shengyao said with a smile: "Director Gu, outdoor variety shows are not very popular now, but as long as we persist and cultivate the market, the audience is used to it, at most three or four years, there will be gains, I believe that Zhijiang Satellite TV will gain great benefits at that time, and the current efforts will be rewarded." ”

……

Fenghua Film and Television Company is fully preparing for "My Uncle", and the male and female protagonists have been decided, and then there will be some supporting roles.

Naturally, all of them need to be powerful.

In addition to the male and female protagonists of this drama, there are many characters in the plot of the male protagonist's two brothers, as well as his boss, and his wife.

His eldest brother is an old man who is a little timid and has achieved nothing, and Li Shengyao plans to use Zhang Zhijian.

His younger brother is in his thirties, has long hair, and is a cleaner, and Li Shengyao plans to use He Zhengjun.

As for the male protagonist's wife, she chose Tao Huiming.

And the hero's boss, the biggest villain in this play, is to choose Liu Yijun.

Liu Yijun is still relatively young at this time, and he happens to play such a role with a little white face.

These actors mainly play supporting roles at this time, and their acting skills are online, so they naturally have invitations from other TV series, but when they heard Fenghua's invitation, they immediately rushed over.

Li Shengyao was also very happy to see these people.

Ten days later, he led a group of actors south to Shanghai, and two days later, Liang Jiahui came to Shanghai.

The actors met and found that except for the heroine who was a young girl, everyone else could say that their acting skills were online, and they couldn't help but look forward to this drama even more.

As a result, the actors sat together to study the script, while Lee Shengyao took the assistant directors to make the final preparations for filming.

The day is high and the day is warm, and spring has arrived.

Li Shengyao met Wang Jing.

"Director Li, I really didn't expect you to have the ability to write movie scripts, admire, admire."

Although the story of "Pirates of the Caribbean" has not been reported by the media, it has gradually spread in the industry.

This movie should be able to get 30 million box office in the mainland, and 10 million after the account is divided.

"Mobile Phone", which was popular at the end of last year, did not make a profit of 10 million in the end.

This makes Li Shengyao a favorite in the eyes of many people, and many film and television companies hope that Li Shengyao will write scripts for them.

Li Shengyao naturally rejected them all.

Wang Jing came over at this time, and he probably wanted to express similar thoughts.

Li Shengyao met with him, not to write a movie script for Wang Jing, he mainly thought of another way.

That is to copy American dramas.

Now that I have copied Korean dramas and Thai dramas, there is no reason to let go of American dramas.

However, American dramas are well-made and fast-paced, and they have high requirements for directors.

The directors of the three David TV and TVB, Li Shengyao can't believe it, these people are okay to shoot idol dramas, but they are only afraid of making American dramas.

Although Wang Fatzi has a lot of bad movies, after all, he is the one who filmed "God of Gamblers", "Gambler" and "Chasing the Dragon".

With Wang Jing's ability, there is no problem in filming an American drama.

"Director Li, how about we work together, you write me a story, I'll shoot it, and we invest together."

Wang Fatzi then said his plan.

Li Shengyao chuckled and shook his head when he heard this.

"Director Li, you are talented, but there is only one person, and a play is several months, why don't you cooperate with me, you can make more money."

"It's not that I don't cooperate, I don't have a movie story now, I finish filming this drama, and I'm going to make a movie soon, but I don't have any good inspiration now, and I don't know what to shoot."

Li Shengyao said frankly and directly.

Wang Jing looked at Li Shengyao with some suspicion, not sure if what he said was true or not.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Director Wang, I don't have a movie story here, I have a TV series story, are you interested?" ”

Hearing this, Wang Jing frowned.

He is a film director in the end, and it is somewhat awkward to shoot a TV series.

Li Shengyao smiled secretly, "Now that the film market is sluggish, let's shoot a TV series first and practice my skills." ”

In fact, Wang Jing has already filmed TV series, and he is helping TVB to make dramas.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, Wang Jing didn't have any movies in the future, and he will soon enter the mainland TV drama market, and he has filmed several TV series in a row.

Wang Jing reacted very quickly, nodded when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's okay to shoot a TV series." ”

His smile was a little perfunctory, thinking that the story given by Li Shengyao was a co-production drama of TVB, that is, a vulgar idol drama.

Wang Fatzi is like this, bad stories and bad books, he will follow the rotten.

Li Shengyao saw it in his eyes, and then said: "This time my story is not the previous co-production dramas, but similar to American dramas, compact and bright, dark style, curious, to put it mildly, ninety percent of Hong Kong Island movies are not as exciting and tense as this story, although it is a TV series, it can be seen as a movie with dozens of episodes." ”

He raised his voice slightly, "Ordinary directors, I'm afraid they can't control it, even if it's you, it's still unknown whether it will work or not." ”

Saying this to a junior, Wang Jing was naturally angry in his heart, but he was thick-skinned and smiling mantis.

I thought I'd read the script later, and if it didn't work, I had to read it back.

"Director Li, can I read the script?"

The drama Li Shengyao said was the "Yue, Prison" that later swept the world, and this drama can be said to be the enlightenment American drama for many people.

"Yue, Prison" does not have an original work, it is a drama created by the screenwriters inspired by "The Redemption of Xiao Shengke", and Li Shengyao can copy it.

This drama is not suitable for filming in the mainland, but is suitable for capable Hong Kong Island directors.

Li Shengyao knocked on the table, "I can only watch two episodes, if you can't do it, tell me as soon as possible, and I'll find someone else." ”
