Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 457 Let’s just shoot it ourselves!
Fang Mingli is getting married.

I met Liu Jianjun in my freshman year, and after I entered graduate school, we officially started a romantic relationship. After another four years, we finally got married.

The new house was a collective housing unit of Fang Minghua's unit. Although it was not large with three bedrooms, two living rooms and 80 square meters, it was envied by many young men and women in the city who were about to get married in that era.

Like the No. 618 dormitory where Fang Mingli is located, it is common for young people to live in single dormitories after getting married.

Many of them are young people who live in a dormitory. When they see their roommates getting married, they take the initiative to move out and find another place to stay for their friends to get married.

Of course Liu Jianjun was very grateful to his brother-in-law.

His family was poor and couldn't afford many electrical appliances and furniture. His parents gritted their teeth, sold the two fat pigs in the trough, and then borrowed some money from here and there. In addition to buying a set of clothes for their daughter-in-law for the wedding, they also bought a 14-inch Ruyi color TV, which was the most valuable asset for the man.

In fact, as Fang Minghua, the man doesn't have to pay for these things. He can take care of the household appliances and furniture by himself.

Unfortunately, my mother doesn’t agree. I don’t want the betrothal gift, but I have to buy some decent electrical appliances, right?

There were some twists and turns in the marriage process, but now in winter, the marriage is finally completed.

The wedding banquets were held separately. The groom's wedding was held in Liu Jianjun's village, while the bride's wedding was held at Xijing Restaurant.

In addition to Fang Minghua, Zhao Hongjun volunteered to help.

Since Shengshi Book Publishing Company opened a branch in Haikou at the beginning of the year, Zhao Hongjun has spent almost half of his time in Hainan.

It was called a management company, but Fang Minghua felt that he was escaping from his wife's control and living a happy life outside.

The wedding banquet will be held tomorrow. Tonight, the helpers arranged tomorrow's division of labor at Fang Minghua's parents' house. After everyone else left, Zhao Hongjun did not leave. Instead, he sat on the sofa, eating melon seeds and chatting with Fang Minghua.

"Minghua, I heard from Tangtang that you wrote a very good TV script for our provincial TV station, but they didn't want it?"

"They think my story is too long and they don't have money to shoot it." Fang Minghua told the truth.

"Really? Isn't this a waste of your feelings?" Zhao Hongjun stood up for Fang Minghua and said, "If they come to you next time, write them a hammer!"

"To be honest, I didn't want to talk about this matter for Wu Tianmin's sake." Fang Minghua didn't want to talk about this topic anymore.

"Minghua, why don't we just shoot it ourselves?" Zhao Hongjun suddenly said.

"Your own photos?"

"Yes, let's set up a film and television company! Find some directors and actors and shoot it ourselves!" Zhao Hongjun became more and more excited as he spoke.

So ambitious
However, Fang Minghua poured cold water on him.

"Red Army, do you know that the year before last, in 1986, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television issued a document?"

"what document?"

"The Interim Provisions on the Implementation of the Television Drama Production License System require that from June 1986, 6 onwards, production units providing (selling, exchanging, donating) television dramas to the Central Television Station and local television stations at all levels must hold production licenses." Song Tangtang, who was watching TV with her daughter in her arms, interrupted and said.

"Hey, Tangtang, you actually knew this in advance? Are you also thinking of making a TV series?" Zhao Hongjun said immediately.

"As for the production license, isn't it just the publisher's book number? It can still be bought and sold! As long as you want to shoot, there is no problem that cannot be solved!"

Zhao Hongjun seemed confident.

These days, any policy can be flexed and anything can be bought and sold!

After hearing what Zhao Hongjun said, Song Tangtang didn't say anything but looked at her husband.

In fact, Song Tangtang had this idea when the provincial TV station decided not to shoot this script.

It’s such a waste to keep such a good script locked in a drawer!
No, you can take the photo yourself.

Filming TV series is also interesting.

Anyway, the company is not short of money now, and there are still several million in cash in the company account.

When Fang Minghua saw Song Tangtang's gaze, he understood instantly.

My wife also wants to take a photo.

However, he did not rush to express his opinion, but asked: "Hongjun, do you know about the business of making TV series?" "I don't know, but I can understand it now."

shit
"Okay, go and find out."

In the evening, the couple returned home, washed up and lay on the bed, and Song Tangtang talked about this matter again.

"Tangtang, you seem to be very enthusiastic about making movies and TV shows?" Fang Minghua asked.

"I think that making TV series is a very good industry. You see, more and more ordinary people have TV sets at home, and the demand for TV series is increasing. Our country can't always attract TV series from Hong Kong, Taiwan or even foreign countries, right? The country will definitely support the development of film and television dramas in the future!"

Hmm, good vision!

Fang Minghua nodded.

"There's more."

"Anything else?" Fang Minghua asked.

"You write novels, adapt them into film and television scripts, and then we make them ourselves, forming a closed loop of the industrial chain. How great is that."

Oops
His own wife has actually begun planning the future layout of his business empire!

After thinking for a while, Fang Minghua expressed his opinion: "It's good, but filming a TV series is not like publishing a book. There are many links involved. The relationship between the director, actors, venues and TV stations is not just a matter of funding. I still say that you have to think it through."

"Don't worry, we will seriously consider it."

"Okay, let's stop talking and go to bed. We have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Fang Minghua said and slipped into bed.

After her sister got married in such a grand ceremony, Fang Minghua's life became free.

That night, there was a cold wind outside. Fang Minghua and Song Tangtang returned to their home. As soon as they took off their coats, they heard someone knocking on the door.

"I'll go open the door." Fang Minghua opened the door and saw that it was Zhao Hongjun, whom he hadn't seen for several days.

But today Zhao Hongjun seemed to be in a bad mood and sat on the sofa with a depressed look.

"What's wrong?"

"I have a buddy whose cousin works at Qin Province TV Station. I asked him about filming a TV series. Do you know how my buddy answered?"

"how to answer?"

"You said you want to make a TV series? You have money but don't know where to spend it, right? Look at which TV series doesn't lose money?!"

Fang Minghua said nothing and was busy making tea for herself.

Even though it is night, I have developed the habit of drinking tea.

Song Tangtang on the side took over the conversation.

"Loss of money? If no one watches the TV shows produced by our provincial TV station, of course it will lose money. But those good TV shows, such as Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Chamber broadcast by CCTV, won't lose money, right?"

"It's a loss, of course it's a loss. It's just a matter of how much you lose. Besides, CCTV is rich and powerful, they don't care about this!"

"Why?" Song Tangtang asked.

"The price given for the film is low because the TV station airs it mainly to increase the ratings of the program. They don't make any money either, so how high a price can they give you?!"

this.
Song Tangtang stopped talking.

The TV station does not consider profit and loss. They are state-owned enterprises and do not care about these things, but the same cannot be said for their Shengshi Book Company.

Fang Minghua knew all this long ago. The advertising industry was not well developed at that time, and the profit model for making TV dramas in the future had not yet been established.

Take the hit movie "Desire" for example. I heard that it lost hundreds of thousands of dollars that year.

But sometimes, that can’t be said.

Fang Minghua made some tea and called Zhao Hongjun. Seeing Zhao Hongjun's dejected look, he suddenly smiled and said, "Hongjun, do you really want to take a photo?"
