Is it related to Shang Ke?

Listening to Lu Li's question, Chen Qi shook his head very seriously: "No! It has nothing to do with him!"

"Really?" Lu Li looked at him suspiciously, not knowing whether he believed it or not.

During this period of time, the rumors on the Internet that Shang Ke was going to attack Chen Qi have intensified!

According to some gossip he had heard before, Chen Qi didn't seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp.

He even beat the faces of those big music giants, and now in the face of Shang Ke's provocative behavior, he is indifferent?

This seems a bit illogical.

It's not scientific!

"Director Chen, can I know what type of drama this show is?" Lu Li asked.

"Of course. Chen Qi smiled and briefly introduced the background and main line of this drama to him.

It's really simple.

How simple is it?

In a few words, it barely touches on any of the core plots.

It was so simple that he had already finished speaking, and Lu Li didn't realize it at all.

He still saw that Chen Qi hadn't spoken for a while, and only then did he realize that he had finished speaking.

"Gone?"

"It's gone. ”

“......”

Then, Lu Li nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more.

He can assure you that this is definitely the simplest script he's ever heard!

It was so simple that he didn't hear anything.

He was just a little distracted, and when he reacted, he finished speaking......

If it weren't for Chen Qi's attitude, he might have to wonder if he really invited him.

On the other side, Chen Qi was not in a hurry, patiently waiting for his reply.

This time, he didn't take the lead in boasting about Haikou as he did when he invited guests to the show, and he didn't promise him how many ratings the show would have, let alone tell him how much his popularity would increase after starring in the show.

Didn't say.

He didn't say anything.

This time, he's going to keep a low profile.

He not only wants to give Director Shang Da a big surprise, but he also has to give a big surprise to the national audience and those unreliable netizens.

As for whether Lu Li will take this drama......

He wasn't too worried.

It is true that Lu Li is still on the front line, but because he has filmed too many bad scenes before, not many people come to him to film now.

It's not much to save face for him, intuitively speaking, no one is looking for him to film now!

To put it bluntly, he didn't have to choose.

Well, it's pitiful.

"Director Chen, how sure are you of this drama?" After pondering for a moment, Lu Li asked cautiously.

Chen Qi glanced at him and said happily: "What's the matter, are you worried that I will make a bad drama?"

"Heh......" Lu Li laughed a little embarrassedly.

To be honest, he really had that kind of worry.

He knows that Chen Qi is not famous, and he also knows that he has a high reputation in the hearts of the audience, but after all, he has just come into contact with the field of film and television dramas, and it is false to say that there is no worry.

Belch......

It doesn't seem right.

He remembers that he had previously made a miniseries called "Never Expected".

But it doesn't matter anymore, anyway, he's quite concerned about quality now.

He has no market in the film industry now, and if the TV series continues to make bad movies, then he will not be far from retirement.

"Hmm......" Chen Qi looked silent, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "Let me tell you this, if this drama is filmed, I guess even Shang Ke's new drama will not be its opponent!"

"???" Lu Li, who was waiting for his answer with great anticipation, was directly stupid after hearing this answer.

He stared at Chen Qi with wide eyes in some astonishment, almost thinking that he had misheard.

Even Shang Ke's new drama is not its opponent?

Director Chen, you can really blow!

Why don't you say that your show can still set a new ratings record?

After reacting, Lu Li showed an embarrassed but polite smile.

This answer...... He couldn't take it!

"Really!"

may have seen Lu Li's perfunctory smile, Chen Qi didn't think it was a big deal and added a sentence later.

When he said this, his expression was so serious that it was a mess.

"Hmm. Lu Li nodded, continuing to maintain that awkward but polite smile.

He thinks this Director Chen is quite bold!

If nothing else, the idea alone is great.

On the other side, Chen Qi, who saw all his reactions in his eyes, smiled shamelessly and said, "How is it?"

"......" Lu Li's lips moved, but in the end he didn't say anything.

He's struggling.

On the one hand, Chen Qi's reputation and reputation are here. But on the other hand, he didn't seem to be very reliable......

Chen Qi seemed to see his hesitation, and after thinking about it, he was very enthusiastic to help him analyze it.

"Mr. Lu, in fact, I think even if this is a bad drama, it shouldn't matter much to you. You've already filmed so many bad scenes, are you afraid of this one?"

"???" Lu Li's eyes widened again, and he looked at him in disbelief.

No...... Do current directors speak so directly?

"Besides, you can't get any other plays at the moment anyway, so instead of being idle, it's better to take this play and act first, right?"

Lu Li: "......"

"What's more, your reputation is really almost to the point right now. I should be a good resource for you. Not to mention that you still ......"

"Okay, okay Director Chen, don't say it again, I'll take your show!" Lu Li, who wanted to cry without tears, hurriedly stretched out his hand to signal him not to say any more.

He couldn't take it anymore.

Although this is indeed the truth, but ......

It's really hurtful to be said so directly by you!

He felt that Chen Qi was really a ghost in the lobbyist world!

He has worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen someone persuade people in such a rough way.

He agreed!

Chen Qi is right, in his current situation, it should be impossible to have better resources than him.

Instead of taking on some other small productions, it is better to gamble on him, after all, he can be regarded as a well-known director.

What's more, he also watched "Never Expected" he produced last year......

"Happy cooperation!" Hearing his promise, Chen Qi suddenly smiled and stretched out his right hand.

Lu Li stretched out his hand and shook it with a complicated mood.

I never thought that one day he would cooperate with others in such a sarcastic way.

Then, it is to negotiate the conditions and sign the contract.

When talking about specific conditions, Chen Qi also never forgot to remind Lu Li that his popularity is still declining.

Under Chen Qi's brainwashing negotiation, Lu Li felt a sense of guilt for the first time because he had made too many bad movies.

He felt as if he was inferior now......

In the end, he signed a contract with Chen Qi for this drama with a very low salary.

After signing the contract, Lu Li asked Chen Qi for the script.

Although he doesn't know how this drama is, he really plans to act well.

However, Chen Qi's answer directly made him stunned.

"The script isn't ready yet, I'll talk about it a few days later. Chen Qi simply packed up his things, and then waved his hand directly to him and left.

He's gone......

"???" Lu Li was stupid directly.

Not ready yet?

No...... What does it mean that the script is not ready yet?

Seeing that Chen Qi walked farther and farther away and quickly disappeared from his sight, Lu Li was inexplicably a little panicked.

He touched his body almost subconsciously.

Nothing less.

But why did he suddenly feel deceived?

......

Leaving the café, Chen Qi went directly to Future Film and Television.

Although the protagonist has been decided, there are still many better supporting roles.

He asked Xu Bunian to help him find some people yesterday.

In the past half a day, Xu Bunian has been following Zhou Xiao's crew in "Nobody", and his connections have expanded a lot, and it is not difficult for him to find a few people according to his requirements.

As for the script that Lu Centrifugal had in mind......

He's really not ready either.

Taking a step back, even if it was ready, he wouldn't take it out now.

His project has not been registered yet, and before that, the script or anything will definitely not be exposed.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen got up and went to Future Film and Television.

Xu Bunian has not yet found a good manpower, and Chen Qi also took this opportunity to tell him about this TV series in detail.

This TV series will definitely not be able to be made by him alone.

He needs Xu Bunian's help and needs him to maintain the normal operation of the crew.

Props, costumes, equipment, lunch boxes, all the manpower scheduling, etc.

This TV series is not like a small fight like "Never Expected", and it is not easy to maintain the operation of such a large crew.

There are so many things that you have to have a reliable person to manage them.

Xu Bunian, who tried his hand in "The Nameless", already has enough experience in this area.

"Okay, no problem!"

Regarding some of the preparations proposed by Chen Qi, Xu Bunian responded very directly.

No one knows, and now Xu Bunian's mood is also a little surging.

He has a very clear understanding of Chen Qi's ability.

Not to mention anything else, the two phenomenal programs he tossed out in the first half a year are enough to prove his judgment of Chen Qi.

Not to mention others, even he didn't expect that he just went out to make a movie, and Chen Qi set off a huge wave in the TV circle!

And now, he is finally going to make a TV series, and he is really a little excited in his heart.

What he learned on the crew of "Nobody" came in handy.

Not long after, when it was close to four o'clock, several actors that Chen asked him to find also arrived.

This is the actor he found according to the requirements given by Chen Qi.

After a simple audition, Chen Qi finalized two more supporting roles.

After signing the contract with these two actors, Chen Qi explained some matters to Xu Bunian to pay attention to, and then left in a hurry.

At this point, his TV series finally has a prototype.

A series of preparations have been quietly started, and some other supporting actors are also stepping up their searches.

Everything is moving forward steadily according to Chen Qi's plan.

......

In the evening, Chen Qi, who had done a lot of preparations, returned to the rental house.

After a short break, he began to prepare the script.

More than an hour later, just before seven o'clock, his cell phone rang.

Deputy Director Wang called.

After seeing the name displayed on the screen, Chen Qi's eyes lit up slightly and he hurriedly picked it up.

"Wangtai?"

If nothing else, it should be the result of the news that he asked Deputy Director Wang to inquire.

Really!

"I just came out of the radio and television, guess what the result is?"

"......" Chen Qi was speechless for a moment.

I guess?

I guessed it!

"You're lucky, the leaders of radio and television have just finished a meeting on vigorously promoting the development of domestic film and television dramas, which is the instruction from above. ”

Chen Qi's heart moved, and he asked, "So what?"

"The spirit of this conference is to provide convenience for you film and television creators as much as possible, and provide some necessary help for you to produce some better film and television works. ”

"......" Chen Qi wanted to cry without tears.

That's not what he cares about!

"There's really no precedent for filming and broadcasting at the same time in China, but if you're really sure you want to do it and you're not afraid of trouble, you can try it. It's just that the process is a bit tedious. ”

"What's the cumbersome method?"

"It's basically that you have to send it for approval every time you shoot an episode, and you have to reserve a lot of time for approval, and they don't work on holidays. ”

"That's it?"

"That's all. ”

Hearing Deputy Director Wang's affirmative answer, Chen Qi also breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was just a matter of trouble, he wouldn't have anything to worry about.

"Okay, I see, thank you Wangtai. ”

"Wait a minute!" Hearing that Chen Qi seemed to be about to hang up the phone, Deputy Director Wang hurriedly stopped him.

She was intrigued by Chen Qi's bold idea.

To be precise, he was interested in Chen Qi's next plan.

But what made her a little speechless was that Chen Qi did not disclose any other information except for confirming with her that he wanted to make a TV series.

He didn't answer what type of theme, when filming would start, who would star, who would write the screenplay, and who would invest.

To ask is to keep it confidential.

After asking a few questions in a row to no avail, Deputy Director Wang also gave up with interest.

Forget it, let him toss it.

As for the broadcast, cooperation, or something, let's talk about it later.

In her mind, he had just started to prepare for this, and even if he was fast, it would take at least half a year to hear the relevant news, right?

It's still early!

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qi put all his energy into the preparation of the script.

Before you know it, a week is fleeting.

That night, the third episode of "Dialogue" aired.

Because of the preview of the second episode, Shang Ke's episode of the show unsurprisingly attracted huge attention.

To exaggerate, netizens almost went crazy when they saw this trailer last week!

God knows how shocked and unbelievable they were at the time.

That's fair!

The king of TV dramas!

He participates in The Conversation?

They can't imagine how exciting this episode is.
