At ten o'clock in the evening, the three of them finished their dinner and chatted on the side of the road, Shen Mengxi asked, "You say, how about doing the Three Kingdoms theme?"

"What, listen to you, interested in the Three Kingdoms theme?"

"With this idea, I am now working in a film and television company with my friends, and I have a sum of money in my hands..."

Zhang Xiaobei asked casually: "How many?"

"Millions can be pulled out!"

The dragon soldier was speechless: "... What are millions enough for? Now they are all making blockbusters, and if they don't have 100 million, don't even think about it!"

Well, thinking a little too much ...

Now, a better costume blockbuster is at least tens of millions of dollars...

I heard that "Night Banquet" cost $15 million!

It's the blockbuster era!

The development of the economy and the prosperity of the film market have made the market bigger and bigger, and the original weak country and the small micro market were small, and the film atmosphere at that time was biased towards art, and now, the wave of marketization is coming step by step...

It's already a consensus that art films don't make money...

This is the inevitable law of market development, and no one can stop it.

Only those who conform to it can survive and progress.

Chinese directors have experienced that the original film was made, and now it has to be sold...

How can I sell it?

Gotta keep the audience interested!

How can you keep your audience interested?

Blockbuster!

It is generally recognized that it is not a blockbuster, and there is no need to go to theaters to watch movies...

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "I'll think about it again!"

He still thinks that the 'Three Kingdoms' has a head, the IP characters are all ready-made, just take a screenshot of a story and shoot one, the force value is slightly strengthened, and there is no need to make it a 'mythical version of the Three Kingdoms', it should be very good-looking!

There is mainly a ready-made "Red Cliff" that can hype a wave...

By the way, what year is "Red Cliff" movie?

......

After staying in Weifang for two months, Shen Mengxi spent most of his time thinking about the future in addition to writing...

I've been in the circle all my life, and I'm really not familiar with the outside world!

Let him go into business, and he won't!

Therefore, he had to be active in the circle, originally he wanted to mix the name of a best-selling author first, and point the reputation value to more than 500, so that he could mix it up to the 'martial arts rookie' stage first, and then he could do something else.

You are a newcomer, you are not famous, and you sell scripts that people ignore!

Who would have thought that Chen Liming was actually a rich second generation, waving the banknote in his hand, ready to enter the entertainment industry.

It's a shame not to have such a good opportunity!

Shen Mengxi may have a bit of a hard time doing something else, but if you want to say which drama can be popular, he who has read the answer sheet in advance, it will not be a problem to get a full score in the exam!

Make a TV series first, and lay out the movie by the way...

If you come up and make a movie, the probability of failure is too great!

So which is the hottest drama next year?

Of course, "Breaking through the Guandong", "Soldier Assault", "Struggle"...

The problem is that these three don't have room for Shen Mengxi to play...

"Breaking through the Guandong" Shandong Satellite TV and Dalian TV spent 30 million to create a period drama, "Struggle", Zhao Baogang's Xin Baoyuan sole proprietorship, "Soldier Assault", Bayi Studio and Huayi Production...

Shen Mengxi can't reach these families!

There are actually not many choices left, either the whole anti-Japanese drama, or the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama...

Anti-Japanese drama, after "Bright Sword", there are not a few hits, "Snow Leopard" is not bad, but it is a project of Great Aim and Shen Mengxi is not enough...

Just choose the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law drama!

Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, the ratings are stable, the cost is not high, as long as you find a good big brother, you can make money properly!

The meaning of a good big brother is that there is a relationship with the industry master...

Shen Mengxi and Tao Kun and Liu Mingyi, whom Chen Liming went to see tonight, were really Huang Lei's royal producers in the early stage, and they served as producers, producers, and producers of the first "Years Like Water" and "Singing in the Middle of the Night"...

Later, Huang Lei got close to Hua Yi, and during this period, he filmed "Seven Days", "Heaven and Life", and "Home", which were very embarrassing and sold very poorly...

Leaving Huayi, he was very close to Hualu Baina.

Tao Kun and Liu Mingyi are also now working at Warner Bailu - and later they went to Gongfu Pictures...

In the original time and space, "Double-sided Tape" was taken by Huang Lei, and then recommended to Hualu Baina, the producer himself...

Therefore, when Shen Mengxi took out "Double-sided Tape", Huang Lei was surprised: "You got this adaptation right?"

"Well, I bought it last month, teacher, you also know that Liming and I are both newcomers... So, I thought I could work with you and the teachers..."

"Stop!" Huang Lei didn't believe this at all: "Liming is a newcomer, I know, isn't your father from Shaanxi Satellite TV?"

“... He's a movie channel's... He can't get involved in the affairs of satellite TV!"

Huang Lei nodded, and then handed over "Double-sided Tape": "Kun, Mingyi, this drama is good, there are not only contradictions between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but also cultural differences between the north and the south, if I don't start late..."

Tao Kun took the book and opened it: "You are very optimistic?"

"Well, there are a lot of contradictions in the drama and characters!"

"Okay, I'll take a good look..."

Liu Mingyi was more interested in Shen Mengxi: "I heard that you are the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?"

“... Yes, Mr. Liu is really well-informed, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" has just been listed, you..."

"Sold 30,000 copies in three days, I'm afraid there aren't many people who don't know you!"

Zhang Wei interjected: "What "Ghost Blows the Lamp"?"

"It is a novel that tells the story of tomb robbery, with a first printing of 30,000 copies, sold out in three days, and immediately reprinted 200,000 copies!"

Chen Liming looked at Shen Mengxi who was sitting next to him in surprise...

He knew that Shen Mengxi had the ability, but he printed 200,000 copies for the second time, which was too tiger!

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "That's because I wasn't famous before, so the pirates didn't react..."

Huang Lei: "Too modest!"

Shen Mengxi took the initiative to pull the topic back: "Let's talk about "Double-sided Tape"!"

"Cheng," Tao Kun over there roughly flipped through "Double-sided Tape" and asked, "How much do you estimate how much this play will cost?"

Let's get down to business...

People are testing whether Shen Mengxi and Chen Liming understand it...

Chen Liming replied: "It depends on the actor's salary, this script can be made into a TV series of 20 episodes at most, if you add something to it, you should be able to produce two or three more episodes..."

Don't underestimate Chen Liming, the company has been established for more than a month, and he has done nothing, as much as he has done to study the cost, the salary and the cost of the TV station's film purchase...

"Can't do thirty episodes?"

"It's up to Mr. Zhang Wei..."

The latter shook his head: "Twenty-five episodes!"

Chen Liming continued: "The cost of general urban dramas is about 6 million to 8 million..."

Huang Lei interrupted him, and then asked, "Tell me which actors you want to invite!"

"I studied with Mengxi, if I can invite Mr. Pan Hong and Mr. Li Mingqi, these two old drama bones are in charge, the play will be half successful..."

"Pan Hong, Li Mingqi..."

"What about the two protagonists?"

Chen Liming looked at Shen Mengxi, and the latter continued: "I think Senior Sister Huang Yi is quite suitable for Lijuan, Yaping had better find a honest young actor, what does Mr. Huang think of Senior Brother Haibo?"
