"Eighteen-year-old Sky", this is a TV series that impresses Wu Yuan.

This TV series can be said to be the first campus youth idol drama in China.

is different from the story of the domineering president who falls in love with Cinderella in "Meteor Garden".

Although the actors in "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" are handsome men and beauties in Qingyishui, even the teachers are handsome guys and beauties, changing the image of middle-aged people in the stereotype.

But the values shown in this drama, as well as the views on the suppression of students' creativity in exam-oriented education, are still very good.

Although there are traces of imitation of the Japanese "GTO Spicy Teacher", in 2002, this TV series was really ahead of its time.

It's just that, like "Fairy Sword", this TV series is also difficult to sell after filming.

Half a step ahead is a genius, and one step ahead is a madman.

No domestic TV station is optimistic about such a "deviant" TV series.

After filming in 2002, it was not until January 2004 that this TV series was broadcast on a local channel in Jiangxi, and there was almost no response.

In July next year, Mango Channel, which boldly carried out a younger and more entertaining reform, dared to brave the world's condemnation, bought this drama, and broadcast it on the stars.

After that, this drama began to become famous, and it was regarded by many young people as the best campus youth TV series in China.

Wu Yuan is still very interested in the director and producer of this TV series, and if he can, he hopes to poach this person to the era of light and shadow to be in charge of the company's TV drama department.

Without him, Wu Yuan wanted to make a few low-cost but easy-to-sell idol dramas to supplement the company's cash flow and prepare for making domestic blockbusters after 2010.

What "Princess Little Sister", "The Star of the Sheep", "Smiling Pepsi", and "Fate I Love You" can all be filmed on Taiwan Island first.

From 2005 to 2010, these Taiwanese dramas dominated the idol drama market in the mainland.

Of course, Wu Yuan has no face to sign his own screenplay, and he can't afford to lose this person.

But how do you contact the director and producer of "Seventeen Years Old Sky"?

Wu Yuan put away the books and planned to go back and call to check the situation of the show.

He really doesn't remember who paid for the filming of this drama.

Just as he got up to walk out, two young girls who had just come in from the door of the library met him.

"Senior brother, are you going back to school too?" Liu Yifei held Zhou Yang's hand and shouted Wu Yuan with a look of surprise.

He was looking down in contemplation, raised his head and glanced at the girl, revealing a faint smile: "Well, come back to class." ”

Liu Yifei's eyebrows bent, and her smile became even brighter.

Doesn't this mean that Senior Brother will often appear in school in the future, and she will have more opportunities to meet Senior Brother.

"That's right." Wu Yuan's voice interrupted her reverie.

"The first round of broadcasts of "Fairy Sword" has been sold, and it will be broadcast on Mango Channel this summer, and you should run publicity with Hu Ge at that time."

"Good work."

As one of the producers of "Fairy Sword", Wu Yuan is still quite grateful to Liu Yifei for starring in "Fairy Sword".

Although from the perspective of later generations, it was the TV series "Fairy Sword" that made Liu Yifei successful.

But standing at the moment, almost no one is optimistic about this TV series, including the actors.

And Liu Yifei, who took over the drama at that time, already had the heroine of the movie "Ling's Name" to play.

Originally, she had every reason to refuse this TV series, but Liu Xiaoli was also a little hesitant about the invitation to "Fairy Sword" after confirming that she was selected for "Your Name".

But after Liu Yifei heard Cai Yinong say that Wu Yuan also invested half of this drama, he agreed to play the heroine without hesitation, and persuaded his mother.

Wu Yuan knew that the reason why Liu Yifei decisively took over this drama was because of him.

It's a happy worry to be loved by a beautiful woman.

Wu Yuan couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of Liu Yifei's head again: "I still have something, let's not talk about it yet." ”

"In the summer, I want to make an award-winning movie, which has a small supporting role, the little granddaughter of the hero and heroine."

"If you don't dislike it, come and make a cameo appearance in this role when the time comes."

"There aren't many scenes, and you can get it done in three or five days of filming."

The movie "Love", the original version is a French film directed by Michael Haneke, and there is no role in it as a little granddaughter.

But Wu Yuan added such a role, and there were not many scenes, adding up to only five or six minutes.

It's not that it was added specifically for Liu Yifei, but Wu Yuan felt that in the original plot, there was a missing part of the third generation, and such a character was needed to make the story more complete, or more tragic

There is no doubt that this role is very suitable for Liu Yifei, her age and temperament are suitable, and the role itself is not difficult to play, as long as she plays in her true colors.

Of course, Wu Yuan would not deliberately not let the little girl play because she liked herself.

In his heart, cinema is above all else.

"Uh-huh!" Liu Yifei's eyes were shining, and she hurriedly nodded positively in agreement.

Zhou Yang on the side also looked at Liu Yifei with some envy: "Qianqian, Director Wu is really good to you." ”

She may have sighed unintentionally, but when she heard these words in the ears of those who had a heart, the effect was different.

Liu Yifei's earlobes immediately flushed with the naked eye, and her cheeks also climbed red, "What are you talking about." ”

Well, Wu Yuan couldn't go on with this topic, he waved his hand and left the library quickly.

Looking at the back of Wu Yuan's departure, Liu Yifei angrily hammered Zhou Yang's shoulder: "It's all your fault, before I said a word, my senior brother was scared away by you." ”

"Okay, it's all my fault, so that our princess Sissi can't talk to her sweetheart for a while." Zhou Yang nodded Liu Yifei's little nose helplessly.

Wu Yuan is gone, she is not ashamed, she grinned, and stuck her waist: "That's it!" ”

The two girls laughed and started fighting again.

Under the influence of Wu Yuan, Zhou Yang and Liu Yifei, who participated in the rehearsal of the drama together and starred in "Your Name" together, became very close and became close friends.

Well, this is a good thing, at least Zhou Yang's character is much stronger than Jiang Yan.

On the other side, Wu Yuan, who returned home, made a phone call to Han Dong as soon as possible.

In China, if you want to ask about things in the circle, it's right to find Han Dongbao, whether it is in the film industry or the TV drama circle, Han Dong is familiar with it, and there is nothing he doesn't know.

Then, Wu Yuan got a piece of news that surprised him.

Han Dong himself is one of the producers of "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky".

"Isn't it, Han Dong, you are the vice chairman of China Film Group, and you are still going to be a producer for TV dramas?" Wu Yuan said in surprise on the phone.

Han Dong explained helplessly: "No way, in the cold winter of movies in those years, the TV drama industry is thriving again, how many people who are engaged in movies do TV series, not one more than me." ”

"What are you asking for?" Han Dong also asked curiously.

"Harm." There is nothing to hide, Wu Yuan replied generously: "It's not to see that the domestic TV drama industry is booming, I also want to intervene." ”

"Since you want to be a film and television company, you can't just make movies, great people have said that you can walk steadily when you walk on two legs!"

"You're going to make a TV series?" This time it was Han Dong's turn to be surprised.

"yes, can't you?" Wu Yuan didn't bother to explain too much, "Han Dong, since you are the producer of "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky", you should know the director of this TV series, right?" ”

"Can you help me tell him, I want to invite him to come to our company to do a TV series."

"Of course......

The two communicated again, and Wu Yuan learned that Li Jichang, the director of "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky", was originally a producer and a director.

Even his main job is to be a producer, but the director is doing it for the first time.

It's no wonder that after the broadcast of "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky" was good, the director never made other works.

"It's better if it's a producer."

Wu Yuan immediately said goodbye to Han Dong and invited this Mr. Li Jichang to meet in the era of light and shadow next week.

A lonely and unknown little director who has made a TV series and has not been able to broadcast it, in the face of a person of Wu Yuan's level, there is naturally no possibility of refusing the invitation.

Soon, Wu Yuan met Li Jichang in the general manager's office of the Light and Shadow Era.

Li Jichang is not very old, he looks like he is in his thirties, but his temperament is a little weak, he is also very thin, he wears a pair of glasses, and he is more like a scholar than a director.

"Director Lee Jichang, right?" Wu Yuan took the initiative to shake his hand and beckoned him to sit down.

No way, Li Jichang was too nervous.

When Han Dong told him that Wu Yuan wanted to see him and wanted to invite him to join the Light and Shadow Era, Li Jichang's first reaction was that Han Dong was talking nonsense.

But the person who said this was Han Dong, and he had to believe it.

After believing it, Li Jichang's first thought was not joy, but fear.

Wu Yuan, a big director like Wu Yuan, whose movie sells more than 100 million yuan in Asia, and a movie in Hollywood has a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, how can he know that he is at the bottom of the circle?

He also personally invited him to join the [Age of Light and Shadow]?

With this incomprehension, apprehension, and panic, Li Jichang came to the era of light and shadow an hour ahead of schedule as agreed.

It wasn't until he really saw Wu Yuan that he believed that Wu Yuan really knew him.

"Director Wu, hello!" Li Jichang shook Wu Yuan's hand excitedly: "I'm you, oh no, you're my idol." ”

"I've seen every movie you've made, including Juno, and I love every movie I have!"

"You are a model for our Chinese directors, I didn't expect me to actually meet you."

"Alright." Wu Yuan interrupted his incoherent boasting with a smile, "There is no need to say more about these words. ”

"Director Li, I know you too." Although Wu Yuan only knew about Li Jichang's situation from Han Dong's mouth, he opened his mouth and came: "The "Eighteen-year-old Sky" you filmed was very good. ”

"There has never been such a youth campus idol drama in China before, and you have done a very bold thing."

"I especially admire you."

"I asked you to come to the company today, and I also want to invite you to join our company's TV drama department, and then our company has several idol dramas that we want to produce and produce, and we need a director in charge of TV drama production."

"I think you're up to the task."

"Come on, take a look, this is an idol drama I prepared for the company."

Saying that, Wu Yuan took out a script from the drawer, there was not much content, only the first six episodes, which he had written in a hurry in the past few days.

On the cover of the script, seven big words are written: "Fate I love you!" ”

There are some things today, and the update is a little less, so let's see if I add one or two thousand words to make up for it tomorrow.
