Chapter 203 Introducing you to someone
Some things are just like that. Don’t touch them unless you buy them. Once you get started, you won’t be able to explain them clearly unless you stay away from this industry in the future.
Zhang Huanchun knows all too well that in the future, if any of the film and television dramas he participates in have any overlap with the content in the script, some people will question him for plagiarism, even if Sun Tao himself comes out to refute the rumors.
Zhang Huanchun put his hand on the script but did not pick it up immediately, "Hey, look at my memory. By the way, I will introduce you to someone after the New Year."
He immediately changed the topic to somewhere else.
Sun Tao asked doubtfully: "Who is he? Hahaha, I have to wait until the New Year is over before introducing him."
Zhang Huanchun hesitated for a moment and said, "Zhao Benshan."
Sun Tao was very confused. This was the first time in his past life that he had interacted with such a big shot.
……
Everyone in the Northeast knows that when you leave Shanhaiguan, you should come to me if you have anything to do.
But there is no such sentence now. This sentence was only spoken in 2008 or 2009. At that time, Mr. Zhao not only owned Benshan Media, but also Liu Laogen Stage all over the country. Sun Tao saw it when he passed by the foot of Mount Tai on the train.
"Country Love" has become a childhood memory for countless people.
But it's only 2003, Benshan Media has not yet been established, and there is no big stage for Liu Laogen. "Country Love" doesn't even have a movie.
Sun Tao thought about it carefully, and there was no such thing as "Ma Dashuai". Zhao Benshan had already filmed a movie "Men and Women Directors" and a TV series "Liu Laogen".
Not long ago, his label changed from a duo actor to a sketch king...
……
"Oh" Sun Tao nodded blankly, "I'm going all out to prepare for the Spring Festival Gala."
Zhang Huanchun nodded, "Yes, I won't take the initiative to call him unless there is something special. Today is different from the past. We knew each other more than ten years ago when he was still performing "Three Strings". At that time, I helped He contacted many shows.
Hey, hehehe, why am I saying this..."
Sun Tao also laughed and said to himself, "A good man is not brave in his past. Even if you become the deputy director of Jichun TV now, you can't compare with the peak Zhao Benshan."
Zhang Huanchun, "I'm never a bad person when it comes to worldly relations. He will definitely say hello to me when he comes to Jichun. He also remembers to send me messages during the holidays, but this time he did take the time to mention you to me."< br>
Sun Tao said lightly: "Oh?"
"Old Zhao has heard of the songs you wrote, haha, he admires both "Winter in the Northeast" and "Folk Songs of the Northeast" very much."
"Teacher Zhao wants me to write a song for him?" Sun Tao was a little confused.
"He is going to open a media company named after himself in Fengtian this year and is planning to shoot a TV series. What about "Ma Dashuai"? He said that your songs are very down-to-earth and your songs may appear frequently in the TV series, so he wants to follow You know me.”
Old-school artists are not used to signing contracts and going through the process. They still feel that there is a sense of loyalty and friends are easy to deal with. Now that they have opened a company, they will probably sign contracts, but generally they still rely on verbal promises and a gentlemen's agreement.
Sun Tao nodded, "Well, of course it's no problem. It's all trivial. It's an honor for me to have my song appear in Mr. Zhao's TV series. Our whole family loves to watch "Liu Laogen"."
Sun Tao thought about it in his mind and decided that he would definitely not become Teacher Zhao's apprentice, but he could still consider making a guest appearance in "Country Love". Well, it would be even better if he could have a scene with Wang Xiaomeng...
"Okay, I'll give him a call after the Chinese New Year. If he comes to Jichun anytime, I'll ask you to come over and have a meal with him." After Zhang Huanchun finished speaking, he picked up the script written by Sun Tao.
This is pay first and see later!
Zhao Benshan may have mentioned it to him, but it may not be as serious as he said, or it may just be a casual chat. As for taking Sun Tao and Zhao Benshan to eat together, it will definitely consume his friendship with them.
Sun Tao thinks it's quite profitable. The class is invisible and intangible. If you can't enter that circle, you can only be recognized as an Internet celebrity or a folk artist.
When did you often appear on CCTV or be often mentioned by a certain big shot, did everyone admit that there was a person like you in the world!
If he and Zhao Benshan had dinner together and Sun Tao's song appeared again in "Ma Dashuai", then Sun Tao's fame would follow Zhao Benshan out of the Northeast.
Sun Tao was wandering in his thoughts, while Zhang Huanchun looked at the script in his hand with mixed emotions.
The more Zhang Huanchun read it, the more he regretted it. The lines in it made him like it more and more, but what followed was a heart-piercing pain.
[MD, if I had received such a script in 1994, I could have gone to Beijing Film Academy to choose the most beautiful actor to play Qiu Ya, and Zhang Ziyi would have been a perfect fit. Alas~~~】
[Even if I saw this script in 2000, I would show it to a few old comrades who took the lead in blocking the door and asking for wages. They would definitely believe me. At that time, when I made such a movie and came out with a long shadow, I didn’t need to mention Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, and Chen Kaige, they were nothing! 】
[The year before last, if I had this, there would always be a few friends who would be willing to invest in me. No matter what, it would not be a problem to make this film, and I would definitely make money after it is made...]
……
[Now, I want money but no money, no one, no one. It’s all my fault that I was too impulsive at the time, too eager to prove that I could stand up with a long shadow...
In fact, in that situation, you should be patient, accumulate strength, and then turn around with one blow.
What am I saying? Isn’t that just a fueling tactic? It consumes everyone’s trust bit by bit. By the time I finally had a script that worked, no one trusted me. 】
When Sun Tao looked up, the script had turned to the last page.
Zhang Huanchun murmured, "Returning to nature, although it is a traditional happy ending, but Charlotte's soul has been tempered. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is reborn from the ashes, alas!"
Zhang Huanchun had a warm smile on his face and his posture was very upright, but every time he spoke, he inevitably said "Alas~", maybe he didn't even notice it.
Zhang Huanchun put down the script and shook his head, "Okay, it's really well written. By the way, have you really never written a script?"
Sun Tao, "Huh? I've never written anything. I've only written a few novels."
"Hahaha, novels are all based on the essence. Are you sure you are not pretending?"
Sun Tao smiled awkwardly and said, "To be honest, I have only written three books. Two of them were published before they were finished. The publisher is also talking about one, but they haven't been finished yet."
Zhang Huanchun typed the script, "Look at what you wrote. The expressions, movements, dialogues, and psychological activities of the characters are all comprehensive. In some places, the environment is even touched upon. With slight changes, there is no need to change at all. In some places, you can see It looks like a split shot. Ma Dongmei looked up and saw Charlotte and Qiu Ya sitting on the steps... Isn't this clearly instructing the cameraman on how to shoot..."
Sun Tao smiled slightly, he was describing it based on the movie scene.
"Alas~" Zhang Huanchun ended with a long sigh.
Sun Tao looked at him with a smile, "Brother Zhang, can you give me an accurate answer? What exactly are you lacking? Is it a lack of money, a lack of venues, or a lack of actors?"
