Chapter 78 Mentality

Let’s not talk about money, that’s too vulgar!

In fact, after "Latent" became popular, Jiang Wei immediately asked Zhang Jiayi to film "Borrowing a Gun"...

It is also a spy drama, and "Borrowed Gun" is the same as "Insidious". The original author is Long Yi, the screenwriter is also Lin Lisheng, and the production team basically continues from "Insidious".

This drama sold for a sky-high price - in the first round, the four satellite TV stations sold a single episode for 2.6 million yuan. But last year, the average purchase price for a TV series was only about 1 million yuan per episode...

The exclusive broadcast rights of "Thousands of Mountains Snow" were sold for only 1.8 million per episode...

However, the reputation and influence of "Borrowed Gun" are far inferior to that of "Insidious"...

It's not even as good as another spy drama "Cliff" starring Zhang Jiayi.

The reason is that Jiang Wei pays too much attention to realism and life, and the spy scenes are too short-lived, not serious at all, and have no sense of tension...

It's a spy drama. The name makes me nervous. It's too life-like, so it's called anti-genre.

Anti-genre dramas are usually not recognized by the audience.

Unless the logic is smooth, such as "My Leader, My Team"...

In the original time and space, the failure of "Borrowing a Gun" made Jiang Wei very frustrated. He stayed quiet for several years, and then tinkered with "The Hunting Ground"...

It's different this time. The original work of "Ups and Downs" is very famous...

By the way, speaking of "Ups and Downs", there was a slight accident and the screenwriter was replaced!

Bao Jingjing was originally looking for her, but she happily took over the task of screenwriting. She wrote a version and gave it to Jiang Wei. However, Jiang Wei asked a series of questions and forced her to resign as screenwriter...

It's normal, she has no workplace experience at all.

She doesn’t understand even the slightest bit of professional issues in the workplace!

I still found Lin Lisheng to adapt it.

Bao Jingjing is suitable for creating light comedies. It is difficult for her works to be particularly profound and profound, but it does not matter. Serious and calm works can be left to screenwriters of other styles. Her language habits make it difficult for her characters to say those things.

Philosophical lines, but she has her own characteristics, the kind of harming others but not herself, the unique humor in the words, and the language art that belongs to Chinese...

"Actually, you are right not to let Jingjing be a screenwriter. Jingjing has never experienced working life..."

"...Do you have any thoughts on "Floating"?"

Shen Changlin shook his head: "I read the original work several years ago, and I have almost forgotten the plot, but I know that in the years after "Ups and Downs" was published, workplace novels, especially IT sales novels, were at their hottest time.

You really don’t need too many novels like this. Teacher Cui Manli’s original work can stand out among so many competitors. There must be a reason for its uniqueness, but where this uniqueness lies, you have to control it yourself!”

Jiang Weidao: "I think it's the restructuring of state-owned enterprises!"

"Then you have to pay attention to the size..."

"Don't worry, Teacher Xue and I have been on the battlefield for a long time..."

Shen Changlin really wanted to say, "What should I worry about? This drama has nothing to do with me"...

"Then I wish "Ups and Downs" a success!"



After the meal, Xue Xiaolu, as the host, stood at the door of the hotel to see people off one by one. When Shen Changlin arrived, she stopped him, saying she had something to talk about.

"I discussed with Teacher Jiang Wei and decided to add an undercover character to "The Thing in the Palm". Otherwise, it will be difficult to pass the trial!"

"Will that affect the plot?"

"It will definitely have an impact...but the creator definitely doesn't want to write something that will be banned and then fired. The work must first have the opportunity to communicate with the public, and only when communication is achieved can it truly become a work!"

"I understand...you have worked hard!"

"No," Xue Xiaolu smiled, and then said: "I never thanked you for asking me to be the director of "33 Days After Love"..."

Shen Changlin couldn't stand this kind of...

To be honest, director Xue Xiaolu only received a director's salary of 200,000 yuan for "33 Days of Love". Although the company provided a red envelope of 2 million yuan, this amount of money is nothing compared to the company's income.

He always felt that he could not stand up to Director Xue.

"No, I would like to thank Teacher Xue even more..."

Xue Xiaolu smiled: "Do you feel sorry for me? Do you want to make some compensation?"

"...No, the drama version of "Love Is Not Blind" was developed after the success of the movie. As the director of the movie version, of course you should take the lead."

"You are talented and capable, but you don't look like a capitalist at all."

"Am I not considered a capitalist?"

What is a capitalist?

According to Lao Ma, depriving employees of their residual value...

The company's net profit for "33 Days Out of Love" exceeded 80 million. Xue Xiaolu, as the biggest contributor behind the scenes, only received 3 million yuan including the TV series production fee...

Even if you include Mr. Xue’s BJ Jiawen movie, the profit will not exceed 5 million...

Isn’t this called exploitation?

"Can't you film "33 Days After Love"?"

Before Shen Changlin could explain the "delicate mentality of female directors", Xue Xiaolu asked and answered: "This play is a very purely text-based script without any technical content. I don't believe you if you can make "Xiu Chun Knife" I can’t film "33 Days of Love"."

You said that, how else can I answer?

"Remember, I owe you, you don't owe me!"

"No, Teacher Xue, I think we are mutually beneficial..."

Xue Xiaolu sighed: "...If you weren't my student, I wouldn't bother to care about you! You have so many adaptation rights in your hands, do you have to cooperate with each one like me?"

"...That's not true. Although the company has many adaptation rights, most of them are TV series, and there are still very few that are suitable for movies."

Shen Changlin continued: "There are many copyrights that we are not prepared to develop, and we will cooperate with other companies in the way of copyright owners."

"As long as you have a plan..."



Xue Xiaolu is Shen Changlin's teacher in the Nortel Literature Department. Shen Changlin often audited when he was in school.

Because of this relationship, Xue Xiaolu could only say a few words.

If it were another boss, Teacher Xue wouldn't care about this at all, and might even feel that he gets less.

It is easier to talk to his own people, so joining Nortel was really the greatest asset left to him by his original self.

Nortel really spans the Mainland entertainment industry. The actors may not be as good as those of the Chinese drama next door, but the behind-the-scenes staff, directors, and cinematographers are definitely top notch.

In Chinese dramas, Jiang Wen is the only one who can do a little bit.

However, Shen Changlin does lack the feeling of a capitalist.

He is just an ordinary person. Even after nearly a year of experience, his character is still closer to a normal person than a businessman.

The businessman's idea is to make more money, the normal person's idea is to make the movie better.

From a business perspective, this mentality is very bad, but the domestic business environment is not very normal.

Especially the film and television drama market...

Under normal circumstances, because an artist commits a crime, all the dramas she has participated in will be removed from the shelves?

Bringing it back, the environment is like this. One second, the fire is cooking, the flowers are blooming, and the next second, you become a sinner!
