  Chapter 52 Prepare to go crazy

  Watching Jiang Cheng's leaving back, Lin Zhibai let out a soft breath.

  As the actual boss of Kunpeng Investment, this is an identity that does not need to be disclosed to the public. He has now successfully put on the mask of private equity.

   After more than two months.

  Lin Zhibai's second plan to compete for the family property has now officially taken its first steps. In the future, he can operate both internally and externally, while developing himself, while helping his family overtly and secretly.

  But I have to reduce the frequency of meeting with Jiang Cheng in the future.

  Jiangcheng is now the Kunpeng investment spokesperson promoted by Lin Zhibai, and will definitely attract widespread attention from the Qinzhou entertainment circle in the future. If the two of them get in touch too frequently, people may find some clues.

   It just so happened that there were no classes at school that day.

  Lin Zhibai simply went back home to visit his family.

  It was already afternoon when I arrived at the villa at home. My father saw Lin Zhibai sitting on a chair in the yard reading a book just after get off work. He couldn't help smiling, and sat down next to his youngest son.

   "What are you looking at?"

   "Teaching Composition."

  Lin Zhibai put down the book in his hand, and read books related to composition when he had nothing to do. Now he is no longer the novice who didn’t understand anything.

   "I really grew up."

  Lin Dong smiled and said, "I have my own job in my freshman year, and I'm doing it so successfully. It's much better than me as an old man. I didn't know what I was busy with when I was a freshman."

   "How is dad doing at work now?" Lin Zhibai asked concerned.

   "Waiting for news from the production department." Lin Dong said helplessly.

   "The production department?"

"Our Shinhwa Production Department often receives some scripts, and those producers will select the scripts they think are valuable and contact the appropriate director to shoot. I have read a few scripts this year, but I am not particularly satisfied, so I want to Let’s wait and see if there are any good scripts later.”

  Lin Dong didn't talk about work with his son before.

  But now that Lin Zhibai is getting more and more mature, Lin Dong, a father, is also willing to communicate with his son.

"so…"

  Lin Zhibai pondered: "The screenwriter is equivalent to a composer, and the director is equivalent to a singer?"

   "There is still a difference."

Lin Dong explained: "Composers generally sign long-term contracts with entertainment companies, while screenwriters are more like mercenaries. Maybe this time they cooperate with this company, and next time they will cooperate with another company. Of course, the three And some of their own screenwriters."

   paused.

  Lin Dong said again: "However, your understanding is generally correct. The status of big-name screenwriters is equivalent to that of your music daddy. After all, the film and television industry is centered on screenwriters, so the scripts created by those big-name screenwriters can easily lead to three big snatches.

   "It's like the songs of your music daddies.

   "Aren't the singers rushing to audition?

"It's a pity that even if Shinhwa wins the works of those big-name screenwriters, it won't be my turn to shoot. Erbo Ni is a high-level executive in the company and also serves as the head of production. He usually has the final say on how to allocate the scripts of big-name screenwriters, unless those big-name screenwriters don't agree. agree."

   Finished speaking.

  Lin Dong smiled and said: "These complaints will pass after listening, and I will just chat with you casually."

"Gold will always shine."

  Lin Zhibai comforted his father.

   As a family member, Lin Zhibai has watched some TV series filmed by his father.

  The ratings of these dramas are usually very high, but the performance of the ratings is very mediocre, a bit applauded but not popular, but Lin Zhibai thinks that as a director, his father's ability is not a problem, it's just that a clever woman can't cook without rice—

  The second uncle got his neck stuck.

  As my father said, the blue star film and television industry is a screenwriter-centered system.

  The screenwriter-centered system means that the screenwriter should take the leading position in the process of film and television production.

  In the actual shooting of film and television dramas, the screenwriter teacher is the most afraid of offending the actors in the crew.

  Because I offended the director, I would be scolded at most. If I want to change actors, I have to consider that he has signed a contract in advance.

   But what if he offended the screenwriter?

   That is the rhythm of stealth and even receiving lunch boxes every minute.

  The pen is in the hands of the screenwriter, so it’s not up to the screenwriter how many actors will play?

   Those big-name screenwriters can even decide on their own actors, and even better, they can replace the director arranged by the investor, which shows their high status in the industry!

anyway.

  Don't think that the whole world is a director-centric system.

  There are also restrictions on producers and investors above the director.

  But generally speaking, the status of directors in the mainland is really high, unlike the Xiangjiang TV drama field, the most practiced is the producer center system.

   Europe and America are more complicated.

  There are both director-centered systems, screenwriter-centered systems, and producer-centered systems.

   In addition, many people should have watched Korean dramas.

  In fact, Korean dramas are a typical screenwriter-centered structure.

  Thanks to this content-heavy mode, the Korean wave became popular after the millennium, and even started the cultural invasion mode, until Korean dramas swept the global market.

   Of course this is in the realm of television.

  If it is in the film field of Blue Star, those big-name directors can still have a face-to-face confrontation with the screenwriters. After all, movies are not only the art of scripts, but also the art of light and shadow.

In general.

  Being a director at Bluestar is still very tough, and I often have to watch the screenwriter's face.

"hope so."

  Lin Dong patted Lin Zhibai's arm.

  Lin Zhibai smiled and looked into the distance.

  According to the agreed plan, Jiang Cheng should have already handed over the script of "Hurricane" to a certain producer of Shinhwa, right?

  The scriptwriter-centered system of the Blue Star TV circle.

  This system restricts the rights of directors of TV dramas like his father, but it gives Lin Zhibai more room to operate.

   Get ready to go wild.

  …

   And on the other side of the city.

   Zhao Lei from Shinhwa Entertainment Production Department sat in the driver's car to go home after get off work, when he closed his eyes and rested his mind, he suddenly received a strange call.

"Who are you?"

   "Hello, Mr. Zhao, let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Cheng, the representative of Kunpeng Investment." A voice came from the other end of the phone.

   "Kunpeng investment?"

  Zhao Lei knows many bosses of investment companies, but this is the first time Kunpeng has heard of them.

   "Our company has just been established. It's normal that Mr. Zhao has never heard of it. I have a script in my hand. I wonder if Mr. Zhao is interested?"

   "Which teacher's work?"

  A glimmer of expectation arose in Zhao Lei's heart. He often received similar calls. Since the other party could get his number, it showed that he still had some strength.

   "The screenwriter is Teacher Bu Yehou."

  Jiangcheng followed the boss's instructions and directly signed the script with the vest of Bu Yehou. The attributes of the writer and screenwriter are close, so this arrangement is suitable for both emotion and reason.

   "Mr. Buyehou is a very good..."

   "Sorry, this is the first time I've heard of the writer Bu Yehou."

  Zhao Lei interrupted Jiang Cheng with his words, and had lost interest in the script, so he found an excuse and said:

   "I still have something to do. Representative Jiang can send part of the script to my mailbox. I will read it later when I have time."

   "Okay, hard work, goodbye."

  The other party's voice couldn't hear too many emotional fluctuations, and the phone hung up simply, without even asking for his email address.

   Very tough.

   This surprised Zhao Lei.

  Usually, representatives of such investment companies who want to cooperate with Shinhwa Entertainment will try their best to win a few words, saying how good our script is, and you must read it carefully.

   But the phone had already been hung up, and Zhao Lei didn't take it to heart, and continued to close his eyes and meditate.

   It was Zhao Lei's driver who suddenly raised his mouth in front of a red light:

   "Bu Yehou's novels are pretty good."

   Zhao Lei, the driver, is a relative in his hometown, and he can occasionally talk to him.

   "Is this person famous?"

  Zhao Lei opened his eyes. He knew many famous writers, but he had no impression of Bu Yehou.

   "It seems like a newcomer."

  The driver thought: "It shouldn't be long since I debuted. You know that I usually like to read idle books. I just read his works."

"Um."

  Zhao Lei responded casually, but suddenly received an email notification on his mobile phone.

  The letter was written by 【Kunpeng Investment Company Representative Jiang Cheng】.

   Zhao Lei was delighted.

   This representative of Kunpeng Investment seems to have some energy. He even knows his email address even after getting his phone number.

   Most of these people have backgrounds.

   No wonder you were so stiff when you just hung up the phone.

   Thinking that there was still a long way to go home, Zhao Lei simply accepted the script, intending to read it casually, as a way to pass the time.

Under normal circumstances.

  Zhao Lei would not read scripts written by such newcomers.

   It's not that Zhao Lei looks down on new screenwriters, let alone that he is irresponsible for his work.

   It is not a simple person who can gain a firm foothold in Shinhwa Entertainment, but Zhao Lei’s identity and position are a bit special, and there are too many various scripts that he has to come into contact with every day.

   If anyone reads all the scripts, he will definitely die from overwork!

   Not to mention that it's Zhao Lei's off-duty time, and it's time for a tiring day.

   Yes.

  Zhao Lei usually throws the works of unknown screenwriters to his subordinates for review first, and selects those with certain value to hand them over. Only those works of famous screenwriters will he personally review.

  However, this Jiangcheng is so well prepared and has its own number and mailbox, which arouses Zhao Lei's interest.

  After the file download is complete.

  Zhao Lei saw the basic information displayed on the first page of the script.

  Script: Cyclonus

  Genre: Police/City/Crime

  Number of episodes: 43 episodes

  In addition to the above content, the identity background of the two protagonists is also introduced, and a story outline is attached.

  Zhao Lei did not see anything surprising in the synopsis of the story. Like many gangster dramas, the official anti-crime and evil operations are used as the entry point, and the main goal is to catch a certain gangster boss.

   On the contrary, Zhao Lei was somewhat surprised by the background introduction of the hero An Xin.

   "The background design of the main character is rare."

  The protagonist An Xin is not an ordinary grassroots criminal policeman?

  In the same type of gangster drama, the protagonists are usually grassroots, at most they are the captain of the criminal police team.

  However, An Xin's identity is a bit special, to be precise, she has a very background, and the audience will definitely like this background. Everyone likes the protagonist to have the feeling of being behind the scenes, with a bit of "cool drama" color.

   Next comes the text.

  Time scenes, character dialogues are all in the regular script mode.

  The story of the first episode begins, introducing a place called "Kyokai".

  Jinghai experienced an anti-crime operation some time ago. The evil forces that had been entrenched for many years were eliminated, and the officials also seized a large amount of funds. Unexpectedly, the water in this place is deeper than imagined—

   There are still evil forces in this city.

  After receiving the report, the higher-level unit sent a steering group, asking a leader named Xu Zhong to lead the team, and must thoroughly dig out the underworld forces in Jinghai.

  Before leaving.

  The above specifically reminded Xu Zhong:

   We must use Jinghai Qiangsheng Group as a breakthrough to solve the problem.

  Jinghai Qiangsheng Group is a large enterprise with complex social relations. The president of the company, Gao Qiqiang, is also the head of the local business community in Jinghai, and his influence in the local area is extremely terrifying.

  The steering group arrived at Jinghai.

   Then the protagonist An Xin officially appeared on the stage, and had an intersection with Xu Zhong and others from the steering group.

  The young but white-haired male protagonist An Xin pulls the story back to twenty years ago through a memory.

   That year.

  Qiangsheng Group President Gao Qiqiang is just a fishmonger.

  Because of being reported for a fight, Gao Qiqiang went to the detention center during the Chinese New Year.

  It happened that An Xin was on duty that night.

  The intersection of the two main characters, black and white, begins here.

  Zhao Lei looked at the script. As a qualified producer, he knew that this is the real beginning of the plot.

  The sense of suspense at the beginning is very strong.

  The hero An Xin, who has a good background in the system, why does he have gray hair twenty years later?

on the contrary.

  The male number two, Gao Qiqiang, was only a fish seller, so he couldn't even keep a fish stall at first.

  The farm bully just resorted to a little trick, and sent him to the detention center after the Chinese New Year.

   May I ask, how did such a person at the bottom of society become the leader of the deepest underworld forces in Jinghai City in just about twenty years?

   "Hiss."

  Zhao Lei had a little interest in the follow-up plot, he adjusted his posture, and put away the randomness in his heart.

   "It's interesting..."
