Perfect Superstar

why?

Wan Xiaoquan took a sip of his fragrant tea, and said in a deep voice, "Because the current audience is tired of the kind of imitation dramas, the audience's appreciation level is improving, and their requirements for movies and TV dramas are also increasing."

"So the film and television production companies that are not aggressive and only want to get cheap will fail sooner or later. They can't always rely on clumsy plagiarism and shoddy plots to fool the audience. They have no novel ideas and uniquely conceived works. Being abandoned by the audience is inevitable!"

"In my opinion, "The Boundless Sea of ​​Love" is a beautifully packaged TV series with powerful advertisements, but poor content. It is not fundamentally different from those self-produced dramas of Shonan Satellite TV before. However, they ignored a very important point, that It’s just that TV viewers have matured.”

"To be honest, I was surprised that the ratings of "The Boundless Sea of ​​Love" did not drop until the fifth and sixth episodes. In my opinion, after watching the first two episodes of this TV series, there is no need to watch it again. After watching " "Blue Life and Death" is enough, why bother to chew cold rice?"

Listening to his complaints, everyone present smiled knowingly.

July is the hottest season in Beijing, but in the tree-lined elegant room of Yuming Tea Garden, there is no need to turn on the air conditioner, and the cool breeze blows into the room from the open windows, making people feel naturally relaxed and happy.

A pot of good tea, a few plates of snacks, sitting and talking with three or five friends are enough to easily pass the afternoon.

Wan Xiaoquan looked a little excited. He put down his teacup and stared at Lu Chen who was sitting opposite him, with a look of admiration in his eyes: "In comparison, the story of "Full House" is much more interesting, warm, It’s romantic yet humorous, and it’s full of freshness for the audience. The good thing about this show is that the scriptwriter can tell stories. It’s inevitable that the ratings will surpass "The Boundless Sea of ​​Love", and it will be even higher!"

A middle-aged man present said with a smile: "Old Wan, I never thought that you have researched TV dramas now."

Although it was a joke, there was no malice in going there, because he was an old friend of Wan Xiaoquan's for many years.

Today's party was initiated by Wan Xiaoquan. He invited several friends in the circle, as well as Lu Chen.

It happened that Lu Chen was able to find time to come, so he happily participated in the tea party in this small circle.

Wan Xiaoquan is a student of the great director Zhang Wentian, and one of the well-known representatives of the fifth generation of directors in the industry. He is a very talented person and has won the appreciation of Zhang Wentian.

As the saying goes, character determines fate, Wan Xiaoquan has a very violent temper, and two years ago he was imprisoned for beating others in a conflict.

Just got out of jail a few months ago.

Today's Wan Xiaoquan is basically living in seclusion. Because of the relevant regulations of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, no film and television companies or investors are looking for him to make movies, and his life is very desolate.

And his friends, there are only a few left in front of him.

After experiencing this change, Wan Xiaoquan's temper has changed significantly. He is no longer violent and manic, but has become tolerant and calm. If his friends made such a joke with him before, he would definitely be annoyed, but now he just laughs it off. .

"I'm in a hurry, so I just watch TV at home every day."

Wan Xiaoquan laughed at himself: "I think I won't be able to make movies in the future, so it's not bad to try making TV."

Several friends were silent.

Although Wan Xiaoquan had a bad temper in the past, he was full of confidence and pride, as well as the desire to create.

There is always a kind of lingering decadence in him now.

Wan Xiaoquan used to be dismissive of TV dramas. In his opinion, movies are the real art.

Now he is sitting at home watching TV.

The change in contrast is too sharp, which makes people feel sad.

Lu Chen keenly sensed the change in the atmosphere in the elegant room. He calmly opened the briefcase he brought with him, took out a stack of thick manuscript paper and handed it to Wan Xiaoquan.

Wan Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment: "This is?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "This is a movie script I wrote. I would like to ask Mr. Wan for your opinion."

Wan Xiaoquan was surprised: "Then I have to take a good look..."

He solemnly took the script with both hands, and his gaze fell on the first page of the script involuntarily.

The title of the script is very eye-catching - A Chinese Ghost Story!

Wan Xiaoquan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but turn to the first page and read the script introduction carefully.

The introduction on the second page was three to four hundred words, and it took him a full five minutes to read it.

After reading the outline of the story, Wan Xiaoquan let out a long breath: "This is "Nie Xiaoqian" by Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio!"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, my script is based on "Nie Xiaoqian"."

Wan Xiaoquan felt that his brain was a bit overwhelmed: "Do you want to make a movie?"

Lu Chen nodded: "Yes!"

There is nothing to shy away from. The life route he has set for himself is to follow the path of film, television and music.

In the entertainment circle, movie actors are the most qualified among all the entertainers. Lu Chen's idea of ​​making a movie didn't come up in a day or two. It can be said that he has been in this circle since he stepped into this circle, and he has already started planning.

This "A Chinese Ghost Story" script was compiled and sorted out in five days by him, with a total of about 40,000 words and hundreds of pages printed.

Since returning to Beijing after the national tour of "Full House" was over, Lu Chen spent most of his time squatting at home behind closed doors and typing on his keyboard. Apart from writing "Swordsman", he was writing "A Chinese Ghost Story".

He is going to use this movie as his first screen debut!

It's just that Lu Chen knows only a handful of film directors, and Zhang Wentian, the biggest one, has retired again, so he thought of Wan Xiaoquan, who happened to invite him to drink tea, so he printed out the script and brought it with him.

Wan Xiaoquan is good at period films and has filmed "The Legend of the White Snake". Lu Chen believes that with his directing skills, he should have no problem directing "A Chinese Ghost Story".

Wan Xiaoquan is not a fool. Although Lu Chen didn't say it clearly, how could he not understand what Lu Chen meant?

"You don't want me to direct the movie, do you?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "If you can help, Mr. Wan, that would be the best!"

Wan Xiaoquan smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that you don't know my situation."

He has been in prison for more than a year, but he has not paid the full price for his impulse back then, and he will be banned in the industry for at least two years. How can he come out and become a director now.

Although he is very excited.

Although Lu Chen is young, he is humble and knows how to respect his predecessors. He is also a well-known artist and has opened his own studio. He has flourished in the industry and has a strong market appeal.

In other words, Lu Chen is a very good partner.

pity...

Wan Xiaoquan sighed inwardly.

The second one is delivered.

PS: A friend asked how long it will take to write this book. The author expects to finish the book at 2 million+ words. The results have been good, so there is no need to worry about unfinished or eunuch problems (to be continued.)
