superstar director

Chapter 204 Invitation

Ning Cheng was sitting on the boss chair in the Xingtong film and television studio, looking at the newly released "Chu Liuxiang" on the computer, a black mole on the upper lip of a big pancake face, his eyes were big, but they were empty. God, the hairstyle is like an aunt who does laundry, and the clothes, Ning Cheng thinks maybe the identity of the beggar gang is more suitable for him.

The image of such a male protagonist turned out to be the romantic and unrestrained Chu Xiangshuai?Ning Cheng raised his head to look at his manager, Sister Lin, and asked, "Is this really a spoof?"

Lin Ling also looked disappointed, she shook her head and said, "No, this is a makeup photo announced by the director himself! This protagonist is also a very popular idol star last year, and he looked handsome at first, why did he change it into a costume How awkward is that?"

Ning Cheng looked at this picture on the computer, and the Zhu Xiaotian version of Chu Liuxiang from the previous life appeared in his mind, it was even more wonderful than that version!I really don't understand how the director chooses people!
But this is all other people's business, he can't control it, not to mention, from his point of view, the worse the role the other party chooses, the better, so that it will be even worse after it is filmed and released.

Since Jiang Quan participated in this TV series, and Ning Sheng had released his news about Jiang Quan through Mr. Zheng, of course, the effect was obvious, and people didn't take his words seriously at all.Therefore, he should now use actual actions to prove that his words are not just words.

Speaking of which, his Xingtong studio has not had any works since its establishment. Most of the people in the company are idle, and some of the screenwriters helped to revise some of the novels of "The Legend of Condor Heroes". Ren also completed the task some time ago, and now it can be published after waiting for Ning Sheng's review.

When Ning Sheng came to the company this time, one was to put 3000 million into the company's account, which was used as the production cost of his next new drama, and then he asked the screenwriter team to write the script for the new drama together with him.

This time because the time was too tight, Ning Sheng had the same idea as the other party, to remake the old work, "Little Li Flying Knife". This novel has been made into a movie and TV series before, but it is not as famous as the Chu Liuxiang series.

In Ning Cheng's last life, "Xiao Li Feidao" is also called "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword". Flying Knife".

Ning Cheng is going to remake this classic work this time, so that the audience in this world can feel his heart, Xiao Li Feidao's peerless demeanor!
The copyright fee is a total of 100 million. This is because more of Mr. Gu's novels have been made into movies, and there are fewer TV dramas, especially good TV dramas.

With the original work, it is much easier to rewrite the script. With the help of three young people from the screenwriting team, Ning Sheng only needs to tell them his requirements and what needs to be changed, and then he can leave it to them to do it. Ning Cheng Sheng just needs to review it later.

After explaining these things, Ning Cheng went out to meet director Xu Weiye. Ning Cheng was busy with his studies this year, but he didn't have time to watch the crew every day, so the director still had to find someone else. Therefore, director Xu Weiye, who had worked with Ning Sheng twice, became the first choice.

Although director Xu has never made a costume martial arts drama before, there are not many action scenes in the two parts of "I Have a Date with a Zombie", but this time "Little Li Fei Dao" not only has more action scenes, but also It needs to be more beautiful and chic. Although Ning Sheng is not an action director, he can provide some suggestions to the director and action director through the original TV series.

That is to say, in order to ensure that the TV series can be produced as Ning Sheng wants, he will give instructions to the crew, so no matter from which aspect, Director Xu, who has worked with him before, is more suitable.

In the afternoon, a corner of the cafe.

Ning Cheng shook hands with Director Xu and sat down, "What would you like to drink?" Director Xu asked, and Ning Sheng said, "Whatever, I don't know much about coffee."

Director Xu smiled and said to the waiter at the side, "Then have a glass of Blue Mountain."

After the waiter delivered the coffee and left, Ning Che said directly, "I told you on the phone, this time it's a remake of Mr. Gu's "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword", which is also "Xiao Li Feidao". The name of the TV series is also this. More directly, directly point out the protagonist and the protagonist's logo flying knife. The investment is 3000 million. I'm ready. As long as the crew is set up, I will let the agent Lin Jie temporarily hang up as a producer and be responsible for providing you with funds, and then It’s just the way of cooperation, it’s still the same as before, during the filming process, I may have some suggestions, I hope Director Xu can adopt them, and finally there is the remuneration, one-time payment, 400 per episode, a total of [-] million!”

Xu Weiye was also taken aback when he heard it. Although his status has increased a lot because of the popularity of the two TV series "I Have a Date with a Zombie", in their circle, who doesn't know the reason why those two TV series are so popular? Sheng, a screenwriter, is closely related to a good script, so his net worth is much higher than that of ordinary TV directors, but there is still a gap between the price of [-] yuan for an episode of domestic first-line TV directors.

He was invited by several companies some time ago, and the price was between [-] and [-]. Now that Ning Cheng suddenly offered such a high price, it really surprised him, but when he thought about the other party's demands, he felt a little nervous. I understand, this is buying the right to speak in my own hands at a high price. It is conceivable that if I agree, in the subsequent filming process, the crew will have the final say, and I am afraid it will be the other party.

As a director, who doesn't want to be a big director who is arbitrary and not restrained by anyone? Now, the few invitations from other companies, although the investment is a small drama of [-] million yuan, but he said it himself on the set Calculated.

Looking at Director Xu's hesitation, Ning Sheng could also guess the reason for his hesitation, so he continued, "Director Xu, you also know that I never beat around the bush when I speak, so I'll just say it straight. It's not far away. If "Xiao Li Fei Dao" becomes popular again this time, you will no longer be called by the media that you can only shoot urban ghost dramas. Moreover, martial arts dramas have always been a popular genre in China. You In the success of this martial arts drama, not only the reputation, but also more invitations to direct, isn't it better than the current state of being in the same place?"

Seeing the other party's agitated look, Ning Cheng continued, "Besides, I'm not the kind of person who meddles indiscriminately. We have worked together before. Director Xu should know that I respect you very much. Unless necessary, I will I won't interfere with your shooting, and I can guarantee that as long as you shoot according to the script, except for some martial arts shooting, I will never say anything, how about it?"

"Director Xu, just do me a favor for this junior, okay?" Perhaps it was because of Ning Cheng's sincerity, or perhaps because Ning Cheng's offer was really good, Director Xu finally nodded in agreement.

So, the next step is to recruit actors!
