Chapter 16: Getting Started
"That number eight is so good-looking, she said that she was a southerner, and she was forced to run out of the house, and said that it was the first time she had done this..."
Out of the water and clouds, Chen Liming obviously wanted to exchange experiences with Shen Mengxi, but Mr. Shen was too lazy to deal with him, so he scolded him: "Why are you so greasy?"
"Huh?"
I don't really understand what 'greasy' means, but it's not a good word when you hear it.
"There is no young man at all!"
The more he talked, the more energetic Shen Mengxi said: "You said that you have a girlfriend, and you actually did this kind of thing with me, if you let Sister Nan know, I wouldn't dare to imagine it!"
“... I'm telling you about her being forced to sell herself!"
"You still study literature, bitches are ruthless, and drama is meaningless! Bitches are only suitable for falling in bed, and dramas are only suitable for being righteous on stage. The reason why love touches people's hearts is not because of this carnal desire and transaction, but because it allows you to see a better version of yourself!"
Chen Liming was speechless, I just wanted to talk a few words, how did I get to love?
"Let's go, let's go meet Teacher Hong!"
Shen Mengxi patted him on the shoulder and changed the subject...
The little fat man is very simple, otherwise, he would not say this, the real prostitutes are all taking off their pants in advance and pressing the bed like a dog, and then lighting a cigarette to persuade the good saint to be like a Buddha...
As for what 'forced to be helpless' and 'the first time to do this kind of thing', it's good to listen to it, I'm really embarrassed, so you can just reply 'I'm also the first time'...
......
Hong Fan saw his most proud disciple come to visit, of course he was very happy, he also bought "Rose Red Lotus" and "Exquisite Ancient City" for the first time, after watching it, he liked it very much, especially "Exquisite Ancient City", which is completely a mature suspense adventure type of film and television drama script...
"You wrote "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" for film and television adaptation?"
"Yes... Hollywood has "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "The Mummy", "National Treasure", and we should also produce a few adventure works of the same type..."
"So you're in combination with tomb robbing... It's a great idea, but it requires a lot of investment!"
"Wait a few more years, the market will improve, and there should be investors who are willing to spend a lot of money to adapt!"
Hong Fan nodded: "Alas, the current movie environment is too bad... Liming, aren't you going to take the National Theater exam?"
Chen Liming was quietly staying aside, and nodded when he heard the words: "My ability is really a little lacking, let's go another way!"
"A different way?"
"He has formed a whole company and is ready to do film and television dramas!"
Hong Fan glanced at Chen Liming, and then nodded: "... Is there a project?"
"Isn't this here to find a teacher and show me the way!"
Hong Fan waved his hand: "What clear way can I have as a teacher..."
Without waiting for Chen Liming to ask, Hong Fan continued: "However, I can give you a suggestion, in the initial stage, it is best not to make large-scale projects independently, but to accumulate contacts by participating in investment..."
Chen Liming was about to thank him, but Shen Mengxi was dissatisfied: "No, teacher, you are too general, can you help refer to someone..."
“... Okay, you go find Teacher Zhang Wei, she has had a good relationship with Hai Yan and Hua Yi in recent years, and has served as the screenwriter of several dramas!"
"Teacher Xie's guidance..."
......
"Aren't we going to make movies?"
"What kind of movie do you know, do you know the person who distributed it?"
Now the market is very bad, except for Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, the films of other directors are basically losing money...
Moreover, Chen Liming doesn't know anyone, so if he dares to make a movie, he is likely to lose even the house!
If Shen Mengxi is given 8 million and asked him to make a movie, can he guarantee that the market can accept it?
It is very likely that the filming is over, and no one even wants to take over the release!
Chen Liming nodded: "So, let's do a TV series first?"
"Hmm... The most important thing in making a TV series is to sell the drama, how can you sell the drama?"
Chen Liming: "Do a good job!"
“... Wrong, it's about getting to know people!"
"Huh?"
Shen Mengxi rolled his eyes: "Ah what, this is the reality, TV stations buy dramas, they all look at stars and favors!"
Damn, if Chen Liming wasn't his little brother, Shen Mengxi wouldn't care about him at all, he loved the ground, and it wasn't his money that he lost.
"Then let's go find Mr. Zhang Wei?"
"I must see you, but at this stage, there are only a few companies that can sell dramas, and there is no shortage of funds, so we have to meet a few other people through her!"
"Who?"
"Teacher Tao Kun and Teacher Liu Mingyi..."
Chen Liming: "They... Is it famous?"
"Teacher Huang Lei's producer!"
“... Then let's go directly to Mr. Huang Lei!"
"I've already finished talking to Mr. Huang on the phone, and I've made an appointment to meet tomorrow night, and Mr. Zhang Wei and Mr. Hong Fan will also come over..."
"That's... Let's..."
"I've already chosen the project..."
"What project?"
"Teacher Liuliu's "Double-sided Tape", I have already obtained the adaptation rights, it is best to invite Teacher Liuliu to participate in the creation of the script!"
"Double-sided tape?"
"An episode about the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law..."
"Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflict, who will watch this kind of drama?"
Shen Mengxi didn't bother to explain: "Will I harm you? I paid for the adaptation rights myself!"
Shen Mengxi clearly remembers that from next year, urban dramas have experienced a long-term melee between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and a large number of dramas have emerged that expose the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and parents.
"Double-sided tape", "The beautiful era of the daughter-in-law", "Life in Two Cities", "The Age of Naked Marriage"...
It wasn't until 14 years later that it was alleviated, but there are still many dramas of this genre, all of which are the kind of things where the heroine dies her husband and the pretty widow fights with her mother-in-law while working hard and leads the whole family and the whole village to get rich.
The start-up capital is not enough, so I can only use Shen Mengxi's forward-looking vision to adapt to the times to make a sum of money first, and then play something else...
Shen Mengxi and Chen Liming have the most natural imprint: Nortel.
Just rely on this natural imprint to develop contacts: the entire film and television industry, from film production to film distribution, there are Nortel people in every link, to put it mildly, accounting for half of the film and television industry!
Chen Liming nodded: "Okay, then I'll go back and prepare..."
Shen Mengxi thought for a while and said: "Tomorrow night's meeting, let's test it first, if they are interested in the script, then let's choose to transfer the copyright and account for less than half of the investment!"
"Since you are optimistic about this show, why don't we invest independently?"
“... On the one hand, the money is not enough, and on the other hand, we don't have the face to invite good actors!"
That's right, a new company, reluctant to spend money, and wants to invite good actors, thinking too much!
"By the way, don't you want to make a movie... In this way, I will introduce you to a director named Ning Hao, who should be filming "Crazy Stone" in Chongqing now, his money is definitely not enough, you go to him and contribute half of it..."
"How do you know about Crazy Stone?"
Of course, because I'm a hanger...
“... Teacher Tian Youliang's drama "Diamond" is adapted from "Crazy Stone"... This script is very good, no surprises, it is not difficult to return to the original..."
