Chapter 5 It's a big deal, let's change the director

After five months, "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" was completed!

Liu Shishi was very happy.

This is her fourth female lead drama!

——She is also the heroine in "Xuanyuan Sword".

But several other dramas didn’t bother with this one!

After all, she is also one of the investors in this drama.

By the way, the script was slightly modified, and the glutinous rice dumpling became a little girl. It was difficult to find a male child actor, so there were a lot of female child actors, and I found Zhang Zimu.

Liu Shishi liked her very much. When the filming was completed, he even gave her a giant panda doll...

After filming was completed, she went back to Tang Ren Company. Lao Cai had always wanted to make a sequel to "Step by Step", so he wanted to strike while the iron was hot. The problem was, there was no original work...

Is this a problem?

Find someone to write a sequel!

Shi Shi probably read the script for the sequel, but she didn’t really want to act in it—the script was too stinky!

I have completely turned into a domineering CEO and they all fall in love with me...

But there is no way, Lao Cai is kind to her, and Tang Ren's "The Ballad of the Desert" has been blocked. The company has financial problems and urgently needs to replenish blood. At this time, making a sequel is the wisest choice!

Moreover, Lao Cai was hemorrhaging money and offered an episode price of 200,000 yuan!

Didn't she know that Liu Shishi's price had already risen to 40 after "Bu Bu Jing Xin"?

It would be nice to give you 200,000...

I held you in my arms!

Shi Shi signed the actor's contract directly, and then asked Lao Cai: "When will we film?"

"I want to make good use of the original cast, so I need to coordinate the actors' schedules, which is estimated to be in the second half of the year..."

"In the second half of the year... okay, then I'll take on a movie first!"

"What movie? Is it directed by Chang Lin? Are there any actors missing?"

After three consecutive questions, Shi Shi answered the second one: "Chang Lin is responsible for the production, but he is not the director... As for the project, it is still under confidentiality. It is a police film, and I still need to meet with the director to discuss it in detail!"

Lao Cai quickly asked: "Who is the director?"

"Director Cao Baoping!"



Rejecting Lao Cai's request to accompany him to the meeting, Shi Shi took his assistant to BJ, and then went directly to Changlin Company.

Director Cao will come over later.

Guo Songjiang chatted with her, mainly talking about the booking status of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom".

"At present, Dragon TV is the most active. They want the first-round exclusive broadcast rights, and we are also interested..."

"Why not Mango Terrace?"

Guo Songjiang explained: "The price of buying dramas on Mango Channel is a bit low, and they have their own production company and cooperative company... Dragon TV is more sincere..."

The so-called sincerity means being willing to pay a higher price!

"That's great!"

"...TV is very popular, but the price of online copyrights has suddenly dropped!"

Last year, in order to pursue scale, major video websites competed fiercely for territory, and crazy buying pushed up copyright prices. The average price of a TV series was around 700,000-800,000 yuan, and at most, one episode could sell for 100,000 yuan.

More than 10,000 yuan.

The huge investment of video websites in purchasing copyrights has made copyright owners and channel dealers make a lot of money. On the other end of the scale, video websites have suffered huge losses: Youku lost 172 million yuan in 2011, and Tudou lost 511 million yuan.

iQiyi lost about 500 million yuan, and Ku6, once known as a major copyright holder, completely withdrew from the long video market.

This year, after the merger of Youku and Tudou, the copyright market has been cooling down. Video websites have tended to favor self-produced dramas. The copyright price of film and television dramas has plummeted, and the price of a single episode of drama copyright has dropped to around 300,000 yuan.

This is so painful!

Don't worry, "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" won't be completed until at least October.

While we were chatting, director Cao Baoping came.

Liu Shishi quickly stood up: "Director, I am Shi Shi!"

"...Well, I know you." Director Cao said with a serious expression: "I have seen your play, and your explosive power is too weak, and your lines are not good. When I am filming, the most important thing is the actor. Lu Xiaoshi is still the heroine. If

According to my temper, it's impossible to give you a chance...but Chang Lin said, 'This script is just for you,' so I'll give it a try!"

"...Then which section should we try?"

"Let's take this," Director Cao took out the prepared script...

During the official audition, Guo Songjiang was leaning on the sofa watching the fun.

Then, he stopped talking.



Let’s be honest, Shi Shi’s acting skills are indeed not good!

Otherwise, there will be no marketing of character or a character that is as light as a chrysanthemum...

She has poor camera sense, and it is difficult for her to get distracted when acting. She has not received professional training, and her performance lacks standardized skills. She is okay in external roles, but her reserved role performance method is single, and her emotional fluctuations are not obvious, which often makes it difficult to impress the audience.

The small screen is okay, the big screen is a disaster...

As a result, Director Cao was very dissatisfied and told her in front of her that he was going to try it with Mr. Zhou!

The call Shen Changlin received was from Liu Shishi crying. She was not complaining, but she suspected that she...may not be suitable to be an actor!

"...Who said you are not suitable? Let me tell you, I wrote the play "Witness" based on your characteristics. You will be the heroine, I am determined!"

Shi Shi cried: "But... but Director Cao wants to find Mr. Zhou..."

"It's no use looking for anyone, I'm telling you!"

"...Is there any way you can make him change his mind?"

"Why do you want her to change her mind? Just replace him. There are many directors, and he is not the only one who can direct. Don't be sad. Go home and have something to eat, eat hot pot, and be happy."

"Um…"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Changlin smiled awkwardly at Amou and Nini: "I'll make another call!"

The two of them did not speak and looked at him with a smile. Shen Changlin dialed Guo Songjiang's phone and said: "Tell Director Cao that the heroine cannot be replaced. It is Shi Shi. He is willing to direct. We welcome him."

If you don’t want to, we’ll replace you!”

"Replacement... But the project "Witness" has already spread in the circle, and Director Cao is still very famous in the field of police and criminal films..."

"...I don't want to repeat it a second time."

Who cares whether you are famous or not?

Shen Changlin made "The Witness" just to make his girlfriend happy. Now you tell him that you want to replace Shi Shi?

Isn’t this putting the cart before the horse?

Moreover, "The Witness" was produced by Chang Lin Film and Television, supervised by Shen Changlin, and starred by Shi Shi. It directly brought in 35 million yuan in advertising funds, making it a must-make project.

If Director Cao is willing to direct, of course that’s fine. If he’s not willing, forget it and just have your own fun!

After hanging up the phone again, Shen Changlin sat down and Ah Mou asked him, "What's wrong?"

"fine…"

"I want to hear you mention Director Cao Baoping for my own good?"

Shen Changlin explained with a smile: "There was a project that I originally wanted to collaborate with Director Cao, but he was not satisfied with the actors we provided... the cooperation fell through..."

Hearing this, Ah Mou's expression changed slightly: "Are you trying to flatter someone?"

"No, I wrote this play. When I wrote it, I based the character on her. Now that the director says no, it means that he has differences with my aesthetics, so I definitely can't follow him!"

"Is this how you always work as a producer?"

"No, it depends on the situation." Shen Changlin hurriedly said: "I don't care about general projects. It's mainly left to the director. I wrote the script for this play, so I have the right to say it!"

"...That's it, I understand. Then you should explain it to Director Cao. After all, he is your senior, teacher."

"OK…"
Chapter completed!
