Golden Age 1990

Chapter 164 Draft!The splendor of the Tang Dynasty!The girl Xiaoran’s surname is Li (5000 words)
Bai Feng still has a clear understanding of himself. The drama "Daming Palace Ci" is really not something he can handle.

Marketing is marketing, and there are many things involved in making a drama.

Of course, if you just put your name on it and then hire professionals to do everything...then that's not taking off your pants and farting.

That was his original plan.

Anyway, you have to find professionals, and Bai Feng's main job is here.

One is financial support, and the other is marketing of the play.

He is very good at these two aspects. This fund... don't rush to invest in it yourself. Don't rush.

As for marketing...the movie hasn't been filmed yet, so I'm not in a hurry.

What is really urgent, of course, is to find a professional.

There are people around Bai Feng now, of course Sister Hong and Zhou Xun.

The two of them...according to the original time and space, they are the adult Princess Taiping and the teenage Princess Taiping.

There is a heroine, and since this drama is about a heroine, it can almost be said that the cast already has a very good foundation.

Of course, you have to find someone else.

It’s like, who is Wu Zetian looking for?

There are also many characters in it, like Princess Anle.

Bai Feng remembered that it seemed that Princess Anle was Li Bingbing.

The influence of this drama on Li Bingbing is not small, but it cannot be said too absolutely. After all, the role of Princess Anle is not particularly important in this drama.

But there is no way.

But now, when is this?
It seems that Li Bingbing and her sister are still in school.

Then there is Webster... It seems that someone close to Bai Feng can be used to play this role.

From this point of view, the role should be okay.

But Bai Feng already had a plan in mind that could play to his strengths.

The character aspect is just okay, and Bai Feng has a lot to work with.

What about the others?

What about directors, screenwriters, etc.?

The director before Bai Feng was just a mediocre person. As for the screenwriter, he definitely didn't have the ability to write the script for such a large-scale TV series.

Although Bai Feng is considered an outsider, he is an advertising person and has a lot of contact with the film and television industry, so he is definitely knowledgeable.

As far as the scripts of film and television dramas are concerned, movies are actually relatively simple, while TV dramas are a big project.

Let's put it this way, almost all TV series are not written by a screenwriter.

Screenwriters are a team, and there are usually at least three people in the team.

One is the 'teacher', who is a very famous screenwriter in the industry.

One is the 'screenwriter', who is responsible for following the team. During the filming of the TV series, he follows the director and immediately changes whatever the director asks and how to change it.

One is the 'Gunner'. In fact, they wrote the script, but they were not famous, so they had no choice but to sell the script and change their name to 'Teacher', and the Gunner took the money.

However, this money is a 'buyout' money, which means that any other income generated from the script of this drama in the future will have nothing to do with the shooter.

Gunfighters are actually quite miserable, but this is how the profession is. Not to mention our country, it is also like this in Hollywood abroad. It is even an explicit rule. The profession of gunman has a special English vocabulary and complete relevant laws. Even if a well-known screenwriter recruited a gunman to do this, it is not a scandal. Even if he did not change a word, or it was not hired by the famous screenwriter in the first place, but by the film company, and then handed over to the famous screenwriter to name or Revise.

All in all, this system is very complete.

Of course, not all 'teachers' don't write scripts. There are quite a few 'teachers' who are indeed very powerful and can be called teachers. They have always maintained their enthusiasm for creation.

But... many times later, the employer simply laid off the 'teacher', just using the teacher's name, and then found a gunman to replace him.

There are many reasons for doing this, the most important of which is to flatter someone. For example, the second female lead steals the heroine's scene... there are many sexy tricks.

Therefore, these 'three people' can't be three people. A screenwriter team probably has at least 6 people, which must be multiplied by 2. Some people even like to mess with the script.

What Bai Feng heard was that Director Chen liked to do this very much. "Farewell My Concubine" was a success, and the main screenwriter was Lu Wei. After that, Director Chen also approached him for the movie "Assassination of the Qin". ,But……

There are 8 screenwriters behind it.

In the end, there were two names that were actually signed in the movie.

One of them is Director Chen, and the other is the well-known screenwriter Wang Peigong.

This is the normal situation in the screenwriting industry. Even a 'teacher' may not be able to leave his name.

If Bai Feng knew this, of course he wouldn't write the script himself.

Of course, he can write a rough script, but then he still needs a lot of people.

The script has to be changed, it almost has to be changed, and it won’t work without changing it.

Sometimes, the script is okay as written, but what if it can’t be shot during filming?
Therefore, if Bai Feng writes his own script, he will feel like he is taking off his pants and farting.

It's better to go find a professional.

So, what about direction?

Where you look is really important.

Just like in China, 'take off your pants' is followed by 'fart'.

But what about India?

Obviously, taking off your pants should be followed by 'drink water from the Ganges'.

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Feng felt that... he should still go find the two women named Li.

Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan, these two women are really powerful.

Fortunately, in this day and age, the two of them are not very powerful.

However, in terms of resources in the film and television industry, Bai Feng felt that he was not as good as these two.

The two of them are good partners and have a very close relationship.

Li Shaohong is better at creating and likes to be a director. She is very professional.

To be honest, Li Shaohong has had a certain influence on the development of our Chinese TV dramas.

Li Xiaowan, on the other hand, is better at handling some business matters. She is best at being a producer, finding money and arranging resources, which are all good.

In addition, as for Young Master Lin, Li Xiaowan actually really wanted to support her son, so she gave him enough resources.

Bai Feng remembered that there was a period of time later when Rong Xin's TV series was basically filmed around Young Master Lin.

Yang DaMi, Li Xin... In short, it is best for the leading actresses in the company to cooperate with their sons, and even Hai Qing. In "The Beautiful Era of Wifes", Young Master Lin had a lot of roles, and the opposite role was Zhang Jianing. At that time, the drama had the highest ratings of the year.

As a result, he, Young Master Lin, has always been lukewarm.

This thing is really strange. In fact, Young Master Lin's acting skills are not bad, and he is not an embroidered pillow. Of course, it cannot be said that his acting is incredible, but his resources are also fully utilized.

But it just didn’t catch on.

It wasn't until he got older and starred in Yang Xiao in "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" that he attracted a wave of traffic.

But after this, it is estimated that Mr. Lin has no ambition anymore, and he may just be too lazy to market this wave of traffic.

It's also possible that he doesn't want to be in the 'uncle circle' anymore.

Thinking of this, Bai Feng came to the door of Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan's company.

He...thinking about these things is actually because Bai Feng wants to find a breakthrough.

After all, I was really unfamiliar with him originally.

And for now... there is probably a point.

I heard something before, that is, these two women were filming "Thunderstorm".

The team of Leiyu is actually very similar to that of "Da Ming Palace Ci". Teacher Gui Yalei and Zhao Wenxuan are both there.

But Bai Feng also has an acquaintance, and that is Wang Ji.

Ms. Wang is really good at acting. Since "Beijing in New York" became popular, she has been getting numerous film appointments.

In the past, she was just an actress within a system.

Later, I couldn't hold it any longer and simply went abroad, because I just didn't want to come back.

But after this TV series became popular, everything changed.

It seems that Bai Feng can use Ms. Wang's relationship to have a good chat with the two Ms. Li.

And then the topic comes to... Mr. Lin?

I, Bai Feng, come to praise Young Master Hong Lin?
Is this a condition?

Otherwise, what would Bai Feng say?

If you have low emotional intelligence: I, Bai Feng, am here to poach you.

That's right, I'm going to take over and shoot your "Da Ming Palace Ci" written by Shuang Li.

This matter... Bai Feng, a guy who can talk so well, is now in a very difficult position.

As the saying goes, no coincidence can ever be written, but just when Bai Feng was hesitating, a man wearing a denim jacket came up to talk to him.

"Dude, is there a fire?"

"Have."

After Bai Feng was reborn, he actually didn't smoke much. He really tried to exercise restraint. After all, he should avoid doing this kind of behavior that is harmful to health.

But he also understands very well that smoking actually has a social attribute, and he doesn't have to smoke.

But you must have a flower and a lighter in your pocket.

The man who is borrowing fire in front of me has long hair. We men usually have shoulder-length hair, which is considered long hair.

As for the face, it's just okay, not too abrupt.

What does this suddenness refer to?

Short and tight, you know.

His long hair and face...needless to say.

The one in front of me looks much more comfortable than the shorter one.

After lighting the cigarette, this person took a comfortable puff.

Then he asked, "Brother, are you here to submit the script too?"

"what?"

Bai Feng was very surprised when he heard this.

But he immediately understood the other person's profession, and yes, he looked like a scholar.

Men with long hair are either artists or writers. This is probably an inherent impression.

But... maybe they just don't have time to take care of their hair.

Therefore, later on, when the hair volume of all mankind declined as a whole, many artists and writers began to keep their heads bald.

After all, long, sparse hair really doesn’t look good, and it’s more convenient to go bald.

Seeing that Bai Feng didn't speak for a while, the writer continued talking on his own, "It's okay, look at me, manuscripts are often rejected, don't worry, this is common. If this company is not good, let's find another one." alright."

He said and handed over a cigarette.

Hearing what he said, he was not a bad person, so Bai Feng took the cigarette and lit it.

"Brother, you write articles?"

"Well, I plan to be a screenwriter."

"How is the life of a screenwriter?" "That's about it."

"it means……"

"Hey, at most I won't starve to death."

"That means you're not famous yet?"

"I'm not saying that, buddy, are you going too far?"

"Haha...Have you passed? If you are not famous, then I can help you."

Good guy!
Is Bai Feng going to start marketing again?
The long-haired screenwriter smoothed his hair with his hand and looked at Bai Feng with a strange look.

"Brother, what do you do?"

It was obvious that he had previously regarded Bai Feng as an unsuccessful writer like himself.

This is normal. After all, Bai Feng's hesitant look is similar to that of the screenwriter who submitted the manuscript. At most, he is better dressed.

At this time, Bai Feng stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "My name is Bai Feng, and I am actually an advertiser."

advertise?

The other party took it and said, "I seem to have heard of this name... Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wang Yao, and I am a screenwriter."

screenwriter?

When Bai Feng heard this name, he couldn't help but take a good look at the person in front of him.

He had heard of this name, really heard it, and might even have collaborated with it later in the original time and space, but in the end he missed it.

Is it great?
If I remember correctly, the screenwriter Wang in front of me later wrote a movie called "Crazy Traffic Jam."

And right now...

"Can I see Brother Wang's works?"

He looks older than Bai Feng, but to be honest, he's only a few years older.

We should call each other brothers and sisters when we are away from home.

Screenwriter Wang hesitated, but still came up with his work.

There was a title written on it, "Brave New World."

Bai Feng took one look and was sure that the person in front of him was the one who came later.

Many people have probably forgotten this movie. "Brave New World" was a really popular movie back then, and this movie...

The later meme about someone’s concert…yes, that’s it.

Tickets are 750, 500 for no singing, and 250 for one night of singing.

Didn't 500 have such a song, "Brave New World", which was actually written specifically for this movie, and he also played a role in it.

Not just him, but also Xiao Qi.

One thing you must understand very well is how popular Xiao Qi was in 1999.

In the movie "Chu Liuxiang", at first glance, they are all beautiful women, and then when I look at Chu Liuxiang...

Why do you look so ugly? !

Who cast the role?
However, these beautiful celebrities are actually all taking advantage of Xiao Qi's popularity.

The movie is obviously still a few years away from being made, and right now...

Screenwriter Wang felt that Bai Feng's eyes were weird.

"If I say I can help you make this script into a movie, then you..."

Hearing this, screenwriter Wang did not hesitate at all.

"Then I will follow you from now on!"

Bai Feng wanted to laugh when he heard this, but then he said: "But I can't shoot this right now. I have a project and I'm looking for a screenwriter..."

Before he could finish speaking, screenwriter Wang immediately said, "I have a buddy who is also a screenwriter. If you come to us, we can work together."

Bai Feng was very satisfied after hearing this. The person screenwriter Wang mentioned seemed to be his partner, named Zheng Zheng.

Not to mention, Bai Feng really found the right direction.

Now that the screenwriter is confirmed, all that's left is the director.

Bai Feng really didn't have a director on hand, but he believed that this wouldn't trouble him at all.

After all, he now knows a lot of people, otherwise he would just post hero posts to the world.

Without Li Shaohong, couldn't I find someone else?

But right away... someone was more concerned about the role.

……

"Say, Lao Bai, what on earth do you think?"

"Isn't it confirmed? You and Sister Hong will both star."

"Of course that's no problem, but what about the others?"

"This is something else..."

Zhou Xun really cares about character issues.

Well, she and Sister Hong have actually been settled by Bai Feng. You two are both Princess Taiping.

When Bai Feng said this, Sister Hong and Zhou Xun couldn't help but look down.

This action...

Anyway, after that, Bai Feng was grabbed by the ears one by one by the two of them.

Princess Taiping, this is really a good name.

Bai Feng was very wronged, but could he just settle on this?
"A Feng, you have always been very creative. This time... my sister really wants to see your new ideas."

Sister Hong's words were quite gentle, but her hands were quite strong.

Bai Feng originally found a team of screenwriters, which was a pretty good achievement. Now...

Forget it, who calls me the king of ideas!
"Let go first, I'm going to tell you something you didn't expect!"

ah?Still unexpected?
But no matter what, Sister Hong and Zhou Xun still let go.

Bai Feng didn't need to think about it, he had already thought about it.

"This time I plan to shoot a large-scale historical TV series, and I will use the Wuxi Film and Television City. After the filming of "Three Kingdoms", this film and television city will probably go through a period of vacancy, so it is better to use it for us.

This is a foundation, but of course it also requires a strong team and...

Okay, let me be blunt, before I start shooting, I want to hold a large-scale talent show. "

Big draft?

In an era like 1994, the word draft was still unfamiliar.

However, they are from the film and television industry after all, so Sister Hong and Zhou Xun reacted immediately.

"Choose actors? Do you have to go through the audience?"

"In the past, it seemed that professional teachers were the ones to choose."

Yes, that's it.

For example, "Three Kingdoms" all had professional teachers. They held constant meetings at CCTV and found actors from various theater troupes and film studios.

To put it simply, what Bai Feng is saying now is to make a show and let the audience vote.

He doesn't need to explain too much. It's easy to understand. There are often such audience voting activities on TV stations now.

However, this is absolutely deviant for today, at least in terms of casting.

Sister Hong and Zhou Xun, they...

Bai Feng smiled and said: "This program itself will have ratings, and it is also the best advertisement for "Da Ming Palace Ci"!"

Good guy, this guy is really the king of ideas.

Although Sister Hong and Zhou Xun had never experienced this kind of draft, they found it very fresh.

So……

"The two of us..."

"Don't worry, you two are definitely Princess Taiping."

Bai Feng was so straightforward that he directly revealed that there was a secret operation!

This made Sister Hong and Zhou Xun laugh.

No matter, this guy really has a fresh approach.

……

1994, spring.

The capital is already a little hot.

A tall girl was walking on campus, looking a little worried.

She is about to graduate, but her future doesn't seem to be very good.

She studied dance, and a teacher commented that she was too tall, and her frame was too big, so she could hardly develop any better.

What should I do?
What does the future hold?

At this time, she was suddenly photographed.

"Xiaoran, what are you thinking about?"

"No, I didn't think of anything."

"You, you look like you have something on your mind."

"that……"

"I know, I'm about to graduate, but..."

"what happened?"

"Did you hear that news?"

"what news?"

"We have graduated. If we can't continue dancing, many senior sisters are going to take the exam for Beijing Film Academy. Have you passed the exam?"

"I……"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Go buy a newspaper and read it quickly. I heard that there is a TV series called "Daming Palace Ci" that is going to have a talent show.

The theme is called The Elegance of the Tang Dynasty, and both actors and actresses can try it. "

"Huh? Really?"

The tall girl was tempted, but she couldn't help it because she didn't even get into the Beijing Film Academy.

I am also facing graduation, and I can’t dance anymore.

Go try it, if it works!
The Elegance of the Tang Dynasty... Recently there have been many dances from that period.

Yes!You are destined to me!

My classmates call this girl Xiaoran. She is destined because her surname is Li...
