The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 8 Dafu Film and Television Company
"I just know about this person. It has been circulated in the circle, and I have met him twice. I am not sure what he thinks."

"But you don't need to be nervous, he is a very talkative person, and he treats people very warmly."

As Zhao Shan spoke, he led Li Shengyao and others to an office building. Soon after, they arrived at the eighth floor and entered an office room of "Dafu Film and Television Company".

The company's office space is not big, a hall, several offices, about [-] square meters.

At this time, there were only three people sitting and working in the lobby. There was a computer on the desk, but none of them were turned on. All three of them were reading books, which were martial arts novels.

One of them saw Zhao Shan, greeted him, and then knocked on the door of an office, "Cousin, there are guests, hurry up and make tea."

He then walked to another room and knocked on the door, "Uncle, here's a guest."

After a while, Li Shengyao saw the coal boss this time - Li Dafu.

This is a real coal boss, in his fifties, about 1.6 meters tall, thin, but in good health, he knew that he used to work under the sun a lot, and his skin was dark.

He was indeed very enthusiastic, greeted Li Shengyao and the others to drink tea, and then asked the girl serving the tea to bring a fruit plate, as well as many various snacks and biscuits.

"Eat everyone, eat quickly, you're welcome, there are still a lot in the room."

Li Shengyao recalled that in his previous life, he went to relatives' houses during festivals, and that was how relatives greeted him.

Zhao Shan was very natural, and took the lead in eating, and then chatted with Li Dafu about homework for 10 minutes, before he revealed their purpose this time.

When Li Dafu heard this, his eyes lit up, "Little classmate, do you have a good script?"

Li Shengyao immediately handed over the script.

"Oh, the writing is so beautiful, it's similar to what our village chief wrote."

Li Dafu watched it for 2 minutes, then returned it to Li Shengyao.

"Our company has been established for three months, and I thought I could make a TV series, but no one wants to do it."

Li Shengyao and others were a little surprised.

As long as you have funds, how come no one is willing to shoot?

Li Dafu went on to say: "I am a rural person. I have liked watching movies since I was a child. When I was a teenager, I watched "Tunnel Warfare" and "Landmine Warfare". It was really good."

"At that time, I thought that I would have money in the future, and I would make my own movies, and I would act in them myself."

"But now movies are hard to get, I want to make TV series first, but TV series are not easy to get, none of them suit me."

Everyone looked at each other, as long as you have money, isn't it easy to be a passerby?

Li Shengyao was the first to react, "Boss Li, are you going to be the leading actor?"

"Yeah, I want to be the leading actor?"

There are indeed very few male protagonists who are in their fifties.

No wonder no one has money to shoot.

Zhao Shan had a strange expression on his face. Li Shengyao's script was an idol drama, so it was naturally impossible for Li Dafu to play the leading role.

Li Shengyao's brain turned sharply. He actually knew that there were a few dramas where the male lead was a filthy little old man.

So should we make such a drama first for the sake of money?

Just in this case, his plan will change.

Country dramas are not very popular at this time, and it is impossible for him to sell Wanwan.

If he only sells the broadcasting rights in the mainland like this, even if he can get 20.00% of the profit as a dividend, he may earn at most [-] to [-] yuan for a drama.

Not enough primitive accumulation at all.

He also thought that he could make millions in one play.

"Little classmate, do you have a TV series that I can act in?"

Li Shengyao thought for a moment, "Yes, yes, but I don't want to shoot right now, I've already written the script, I want to shoot this drama first."

Li Dafu was very excited, "Do you really have a TV series that I can act in?"

"some."

"In this way, you write the script and show it to me. If I think it's good, I will invest in your current TV series. After this one is finished, you will film it for me."

At this time, one of the three martial arts novels raised his head, "Uncle, are you not making martial arts dramas anymore?"

"How can there be a novel about me being the hero in a martial arts drama?"

Li Dafu stared at him with small eyes, looking a little funny.

Li Shengyao was overjoyed when he heard this.

He didn't expect Li Dafu to be willing to invest in "Love Hotel" first, he thought about it, and then said: "Boss Li, the TV series I expected to suit you is a comedy, just like "I Love My Family". You are one of the leading actors, okay?"

Li Dafu clapped his hands and laughed, "Okay, comedy is good, I like to watch "I Love My Family". I was on the construction site a few years ago, and I watched it every day after work."

"Little classmate, please write quickly, I have a pen here, and there are two empty offices, please write quickly."

Zhao Shan and the others looked at Li Shengyao in surprise. From their point of view, it was very rare to be able to write "Love Hotel".

Is it really okay to write comedies now?
Especially Yan Danchen and Liu Xiaoqing, they are more worried. They are professional counterparts and know that comedy is more difficult than ordinary film and television dramas.

After all, you want to make people laugh and mobilize emotions, which is not easy.

Let the screenwriting class of Yanjing Film Academy write it. There are more than [-] people in a class, and I am afraid that they will not be able to write it.

Otherwise, "I Love My Family" was so popular back then, why there is no such film and television drama in the future.

It's just that it's not easy to follow suit, even if you want to get a piece of the pie.

Li Shengyao was not hypocritical, he nodded to Zhao Shan and the others, chatted for a while, and asked them to go back first, while he stayed to write the script.

After all, his rented room was dark, damp, and very noisy. It was quieter and faster to write scripts here.

Yan Danchen thought for a while, "I'll stay with you."

She wasn't sure if Li Shengyao could do it, but anyway, she had nothing to do now, so she might as well stay.

In case Li Shengyao can really write a good comedy book.

Then she might be able to land a role.

Liu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes and immediately understood Yan Danchen's thoughts, "I'm fine, I'll stay with senior sister."

"That's fine, we all stay."

Zhao Shan naturally also stayed.

Li Dafu chuckled, "Xiao Zhao, let's go, let the little classmate write the script, and let's go to the office to play cards."

After a while, Li Shengyao entered a brand new office alone.

Close the door, you can't hear the sound outside at all, the sound insulation here is excellent.

There is a pot of tea, a bottle of Coke, and a fruit plate on the desk.

A scent of apples wafted through the room.

It's much better than a rental.

Li Shengyao then sat down, spread out the manuscript paper, took out the ballpoint pen, and began to write.

When he saw Li Dafu's small eyes staring just now, he thought of a person, and this person was Li Shuncai.

That is, the Shuncai young master from "Funny Family".

Li Shuncai is a doctor in it, and his temperament is slightly different from Li Dafu's, but this is simple, he changed it a little, and just wrote that Master Shuncai went to the countryside to do farm work when he was young.

"Funny Family" should be the funniest Korean drama. Its rating on Douban was as high as [-]. It reached the average ratings when it was broadcast on Peninsula, which can be said to be the best.

When Li Shengyao was writing "Love Hotel", he had the idea of ​​writing the script of "Funny Family".

Take it out now, it should be able to calm Li Dafu.

Let me explain, the reason why I copy Korean dramas is not that I think Korean dramas are better, I just think that Chinese dramas will not make idol dramas before 2015, and there is such a genre missing.

I asked the main character to fill in, lest people from the peninsula would reap the rewards, and I don't think Korean dramas can dominate mainland film and television.

The most popular "Dae Jang Geum" only had an audience rating of [-]%. In the same year, "Moment in Peking", "Bright Sword", "Halfway Couples" and "Hanwu Emperor" all had an audience rating of more than [-]%.

Hollywood films now account for more than [-]% of the box office in most countries.

Only we and the third brother can suppress Hollywood movies. Although the third brother usually looks unreliable, he is an ancient civilization and has his own arrogance.

Like us, it is impossible for foreign film and television dramas to dominate.

I will also copy popular Korean dramas such as "Winter Sonata", "Stairway to Heaven", "Dae Jang Geum", "Full House", "My Name is Kim Sam Soon".

Only for harvesting peninsulas and island countries, as well as Wanwan.

These film and television dramas in this book will never be able to compete with the big CCTV dramas.
