This director is very reliable

Chapter 79 Mentality

Don't talk about money, it's too vulgar!
In fact, after "Latent" became popular, Jiang Wei immediately asked Zhang Jiayi to shoot "Borrowing a Gun"...

It is also a spy war drama, "Borrowing a Gun" is the same as "Latent", the original author is Long Yi, the screenwriter is also Lin Lisheng, and the production team basically continues "Latent".

This drama was sold at a sky-high price - the first round of four satellite TVs sold a single episode at a price of 260 million. That was last year, and the general purchase price of a TV series was only about 100 million per episode...

"A Thousand Mountains and Evening Snow" sells the exclusive broadcasting rights, and the price is only 180 million per episode...

However, the word-of-mouth influence of "Borrowing a Gun" is far less than that of "Latent"...

It is not even comparable to another spy war drama "The Cliff" starring Zhang Jiayi.

The reason is that Jiang Wei paid too much attention to the sense of reality and life, and filmed the spy war scenes too much, without any seriousness or tension...

Spy war drama, I am very nervous when I hear the name, and it is too life-like, so it is called anti-genre.

Anti-genre dramas are usually not recognized by the audience.

Unless it is logically smooth, for example, "My Leader, My Regiment"...

Yuan Shikong, the failure of "Borrowing a Gun" made Jiang Wei very frustrated, he was silent for several years, and then tinkered with "The Hunting Ground"...

This time it's different, the original "Shen Fu" is very famous...

By the way, speaking of "Ups and Downs", there was a little accident, the screenwriter changed!

Bao Jingjing, who was originally looking for, also took over the screenwriting task with great joy, and wrote a version and handed it over to Jiang Wei, who was forced to resign as a screenwriter by Jiang Wei's series of questions...

It's normal, she has no work experience at all.

She doesn't understand even a little bit about professional issues in the workplace!
I still found Lin Lisheng to adapt it.

Bao Jingjing is suitable for creating light comedies. It is difficult for her works to be particularly deep and deep, but it doesn’t matter. Serious and calm works can be written by other screenwriters. Her language habits make it difficult for her characters to say those things. Philosophical lines, but she has her own characteristics, that is, the kind of humor that hurts others but not herself, the unique humor in the text, and the language art that is unique to Chinese...

"Actually, it's more correct that you don't let Jingjing be a screenwriter. Jingjing has never experienced working life..."

"...Do you have any thoughts on "Sink and Float"?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "I read the original novel several years ago, and I almost forgot the plot, but I know that in the years when "Survey" was published, workplace novels, especially IT sales novels, were the hottest time. There really aren’t too many novels like this. Teacher Cui Manli’s original novel can stand out from so many competitors, there must be some reason for its uniqueness, but where this uniqueness lies, it’s up to you to control it yourself!”

Jiang Wei said: "I think it's a state-owned enterprise restructuring!"

"Then pay attention to the size..."

"Don't worry, I've been on the battlefield with you, Mr. Xue..."

Shen Changlin really wanted to say, 'I have nothing to worry about, this drama has nothing to do with me'...

"Then I wish "Shen Fu" a success!"

……

After the dinner was over, Xue Xiaolu stood at the door of the hotel as the proprietor and sent people to the car one by one. She stopped Shen Changlin because she had something to talk about.

"I discussed it with Mr. Jiang Wei and decided to add an undercover character to "Things in the Hand". Otherwise, it will be very difficult to pass the trial!"

"Will that affect the plot?"

"It will definitely have an impact... But creators definitely don't want to write something that will be banned and then fired. The work must first have the opportunity to communicate with the public, and the communication will truly form the work!"

"I understand... you have worked hard!"

"No," Xue Xiaolu smiled, and then said, "I have never thanked you for asking me to be the director of "33 Days of Broken Relationship"..."

Shen Changlin couldn't stand this kind of...

To be honest, director Xue Xiaolu only received 33 yuan as director's salary for "20 Days of Broken Relationship". Although the company made up 200 million yuan in red envelopes, compared to the company's income, this amount is not worth mentioning.

He always felt that he was sorry for Director Xue.

"No, I have to thank Teacher Xue more..."

Xue Xiaolu smiled: "Do you feel sorry for me? Want to give me some compensation?"

"...No, the drama version of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" was originally developed after the success of the movie. As the director of the movie version, of course it should be handed over to you to take the lead."

"You are talented and capable, but you don't look like a capitalist at all."

"Am I not a capitalist?"

What is a capitalist?
According to Lao Ma, depriving employees of surplus value...

"33 Days of Broken Relationship", the company's net profit exceeded 8000 million. Xue Xiaolu, as the biggest contributor behind the scenes, plus the production fee of the TV series, only got 300 million less...

Even including Mr. Xue's BJ Jiawen movie, the profit will not exceed 500 million...

Isn't this called exploitation?

"33 Days of Broken Relationship, can't you make it?"

Without waiting for Shen Changlin to explain the "female director's delicate mentality" Barabara, Xue Xiaolu asked herself: "This film is a very pure script with superior text, without any technical content. If you can make "Embroidered Spring Knife", I don't believe you can't." "33 Days of Broken Relationship"."

You have said that, how else can I answer?

"Remember, I owe you, you don't owe me!"

"No, Teacher Xue, I think we are mutually beneficial..."

Xue Xiaolu sighed: "...If you weren't my student, I wouldn't bother to care about you! You have so many adaptation rights in your hands, do you have to cooperate with everyone like me?"

"...That's not true. Although the company has a lot of adaptation rights, most of them are TV dramas, and there are still very few suitable for movies."

Shen Changlin continued: "There are many copyrights that we are not planning to develop, and we will cooperate with other companies in the form of copyright owners."

"As long as you have a plan..."

……

Xue Xiaolu is Shen Changlin's teacher, the Department of Literature of Beidian, Shen Changlin used to attend school a lot.

Because of this relationship, Xue Xiaolu would say a few words.

If it was another boss, Mr. Xue wouldn't care about it at all, and he might even feel that he was getting less.

It's still easy to talk to yourself, so joining Nortel at the beginning was really the greatest wealth that the original body left him.

Nortel really straddles the performing arts circle in the mainland. The actors may not be as good as the Chinese opera next door, but the behind-the-scenes staff, director, and photography must be Nortel's best.

In Chinese opera, only Jiang Wen can play a little bit.

However, Shen Changlin does lack the feeling of a capitalist.

He is just an ordinary person. Although after nearly a year of experience, his character is still closer to a normal person than a businessman.

The businessman's idea is to make more money, the normal person's idea is to make the movie better.

From a business point of view, this mentality is very bad, but the domestic business environment is not very normal.

Especially in the film and television drama market...

There are too many strange things!
Pulling it back, the environment is like this, one second the fire is cooking oil, the flowers are blooming, and the next second it becomes a sinner!

This mentality is quite good, there is no need to change...
