A few days later, a piece of news in the press and magazine struck a chord.

That is, CCTV is going to shoot a TV series adapted from Jiang Yulou's novel "Secret Calculation".

TV series, this year is still quite noble.

And CCTV is a TV station that can cover the whole country, and the TV that can be broadcast on CCTV is definitely not ordinary.

As a result, the public's curiosity about Jiang Yulou and the novel "Secret Calculation" was aroused.

Immediately afterwards, the newspaper began to report on Jiang Yulou, mainly focusing on his identity as a Yan student and his works, focusing on the novel "Secret Calculation".

Yenching Daily commented: "Secret Calculation is another highly successful novel written by genius writer Jiang Yulou, which constructs a complex and fascinating narrative world.

On the surface, it is a novel full of suspense and mystery, but upon in-depth analysis, it is revealed that it explores the complex emotions and themes that lie deep within the human heart.

As of press time, the novel has sold more than 300,000 copies, and this year's hit novel has been booked. I believe that after CCTV wins the adaptation rights of this novel, it can make a TV series that satisfies the audience. ”

The Reader: "Secret Calculations is composed of three seemingly independent but interrelated stories, each with the titles of "Listening to the Wind", "Watching the Wind" and "Chasing the Wind", each with its own plot line and character relationships, but they are intertwined and influenced by each other to form a complete story.

Any story in this novel will be very exciting when made into a TV series, and the three stories are filmed together, and readers can already look forward to the performance of the TV series after its release. ”

"Film World": "According to reliable sources, CCTV spent more than 10,000 yuan in order to win the copyright of "Secret Calculation", and in order to shoot this novel into a benchmark for domestic TV series, the director of CCTV even shouted out a sky-high investment of 1 million. It's just that there is no experience in filming TV series in China, and the final film has yet to be tested by the audience. ”

Under the intensive bombardment of such news, the public's expectations for TV dramas are getting higher and higher, and at the same time, the sales of "Dark Calculation" have also increased significantly under the stimulation of these news.

Dai Linfeng is worthy of leading the rise of CCTV, under his leadership, CCTV reacted quickly, and when the focus of public opinion was still focused on Jiang Yulou and his novel "Secret Calculation", he had already determined the project director, Wang Fulin.

Director Wang Fulin is 50 years old and CCTV's own director. He began his career as a director in his twenties and has a wealth of experience, and later he directed the filming of "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

After Dai Linfeng asked him if he was willing to direct "Secret Calculation", he agreed without hesitation. And at this time, he had just finished filming the TV series "The Young Man Who Didn't Catch the Car".

The reason why he was willing to accept this task was simple.

One is a big investment. An investment of one million, when he first heard this figure, he once suspected that the director was joking. It wasn't until the director said his grand plan that he believed it was true and strongly demanded that it be directed by him.

Another reason is that "Dark Calculation" will be made into the first domestic TV series. What is a TV series, he, a director who has been to the UK, is naturally no stranger. Being able to personally direct the filming of the first domestic TV series, as long as the shooting is successful, whether it is qualifications or experience, there are so many benefits that I can tremble with excitement when I think about it.

The last reason is to gain experience in filming "Dream of Red Mansions". The filming plan of "Dream of Red Mansions" is no secret in CCTV, although the station wants him to direct, but the project with millions of investments must be cautious and cautious. If the filming of "Secret Calculation" is successful, it will undoubtedly be a plus for him.

After Dai Linfeng finalized the director, with the influence of CCTV, Wang Fulin's fame, millions of investments and the hot sales of his novels, he began to invite popular domestic stars.

I thought it would be a smooth invitation, but it didn't go well.

In this era, popular stars are all making movies.

As for the TV series?

That's what it is.

You can't blame the actors, the TV dramas of this era are very different from the TV series that later generations of viewers are used to, plus the influence is not the same, so they are not popular with well-known actors.

Dai Linfeng and Wang Fulin studied for a long time, but they didn't think of a good way.

Just when the two of them were at a loss, Dai Linfeng thought of Jiang Yulou: "Maybe this kid has a way!" ”

"Director, who are you talking about?" Wang Fulin wondered.

"It's the author of "Secret Calculation"." Thinking of Jiang Yulou, Dai Linfeng's expression was still a little complicated, "Originally, this TV series would only invest a maximum of 100,000 yuan, but after drinking his ecstasy soup, I have the current investment of 1 million." ”

Afterwards, Dai Linfeng felt that he was a little overly talked about by Jiang Yulou's painting of the pie at that time, but if he was given another choice, he would probably still agree.

This also made him realize that this young man was unusual.

"I really want to meet this great writer Jiang." Wang Fulin looked moved and said.

Dai Linfeng smiled: "There will be a chance." ”

After making a decision, he called Jiang Yulou again.

Jiang Yulou went to CCTV and complained after seeing Dai Linfeng: "Director Dai, I'm very busy now, why don't you call if you have something?" ”

"It's a good thing to come to you this time." Dai Linfeng said with a smile.

Jiang Yulou's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Oh, is it that Director Dai is ready to give me the copyright fee now?" ”

"Ahem. The money will have to wait a little longer. Dai Linfeng saw that he didn't believe it, and said angrily: "Don't worry, we are such a big CCTV, can we still owe you that little money?" ”

Jiang Yulou said: "It's not money, what good things can it be." ”

"The director of "Secret Calculation" has been determined, it is Wang Fulin of our CCTV, Director Wang. Now that the poor actors have not been determined, Director Wang said that we should respect your opinion as the original author, let me ask you which actors are suitable for the roles in the script, and we can also choose them with a goal. Dai Linfeng said with a smile.

Jiang Yulou raised his eyebrows, then looked at him suspiciously and said, "Director Dai, don't lie to me, do you want to ask my opinion, or can't you CCTV invite actors?" ”

"Yes, of course...... It's not that I can't invite actors, but I want to hear your opinions and brainstorm ideas. Dai Linfeng looked embarrassed.

Jiang Yulou looked at Director Dai thoughtfully, combined with the status of film and television stars in this era, he already had some guesses in his heart. It seems that even if it is a TV series with a million investment led by CCTV, it is not easy to hire suitable actors.
