Later, Akina Nakamori began to think about how to sing "Fireworks" by herself. Zhou Yan no longer accompanied her, so she stayed alone in the recording studio.
On the afternoon of March 10th, Zhou Yan took the time to go to the recording studio to see how Akina Nakamori was practicing. As soon as he returned to the office, he heard the phone ring.
Zhou Yan walked over and picked up the phone, "Who is this?"
"Mr. Zhou, it's me, Liu Wenwu." A steady voice came from the other end of the phone.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, is there any progress in the project?"
He was asking about the "Yongzheng Dynasty" project. Zhou Yan was eyeing this project at the end of last year, but there has been no news.
Liu Wenwu sighed slightly, "There is progress, but it is not good progress. After discussion, CCTV decided not to accept this project."
In fact, this project was originally undertaken by Liu Xinwu personally.
From purchasing the film and television adaptation rights of the novel to finding a screenwriter, he not only paid for it himself, but also did everything himself.
After more than two years of preparatory work, he contacted CCTV through Wu Zhaolong in the team and wanted to make this project a CCTV project.
Wu Zhaolong is the editor of CCTV and joined the creation of "Yongzheng Dynasty" in his personal capacity.
Initially, everything went smoothly, but after going through a series of internal processes, CCTV finally decided that the project was a bit risky and decided to give up.
The so-called high risk is mainly because we don’t know whether the drama will be broadcast in the end. If the drama cannot be broadcast in the end, all the money will be wasted.
When Zhou Yan heard what Liu Wenwu said, not only was he not worried, he was actually very happy because it would make it easier for his studio to participate in this project.
"CCTV decided not to cooperate. It seems they have their own plan. So what are your plans now, Mr. Liu?" Zhou Yan asked.
"I plan to follow the original plan and raise money myself to do it." Liu Wenwu said.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Mr. Liu, can't the two of us solve the money issue?"
Liu Wenwu was quite surprised to hear what Zhou Yan said, "Mr. Zhou, are you still willing to cooperate with me?"
"Why not? I said I'm very optimistic about this project."
"But now CCTV no longer accepts this project."
Liu Wenwu believes that the reason why Zhou Yan is interested in this project is because it has something to do with CCTV.
At that time, Zhou Yan contacted him after they discussed cooperation with CCTV.
Now that CCTV has stopped accepting this project, it seems that Zhou Yan has no need to cooperate with him.
"No, no, no, if I take this project, it has nothing to do with CCTV. Now that CCTV doesn't take it, our cooperation with each other will be simpler."
"Mr. Zhou, you must think carefully. CCTV does not accept this project because it may not be broadcast. In other words, even if we film the TV series, there may be no TV station that can broadcast it by then."
CCTV cannot broadcast it, but other TV stations may not be able to broadcast it.
The key is that there are only so many TV stations that can broadcast such a big TV series.
The reason Liu Wenwu sighed just now was also because of this.
Zhou Yan smiled and secretly thought that Liu Wenwu was quite honest and willing to say ugly things first.
If it were anyone else, it would really be possible for him to shrink back because of Liu Wenwu's words, but Zhou Yan would not do that at all.
To take a step back, Zhou Yan doesn't care even if "Yongzheng Dynasty" was not broadcast in this life or was not broadcast on CCTV because of the butterfly effect.
Because what he cares about is the project itself, it is very important for the TV drama department to participate in the project itself.
"Mr. Liu, don't worry about this. Even if no one wants to broadcast the TV series after it is filmed, I will not have any complaints."
Liu Wenwu pondered for a moment and said, "In this case, if I say anything depressing, it will seem petty. Let's do this. After we finalize the script, we will discuss how to cooperate in detail. What do you think, Mr. Zhou?"
"The script hasn't been finalized yet?"
"Well, there are still some unsatisfactory things. Liu Heping and I are correcting them. It shouldn't take long."
"You guys have taken a long time to prepare." Zhou Yan said with emotion.
Nearly three years have passed since Liu Wenwu bought the film and television adaptation rights. At this time, the script has not yet been produced, which is indeed very slow.
Liu Wenwu thought Zhou Yan was worried about the production cycle. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, it's all a minor problem and it will be resolved within ten days. I'm already looking for a suitable director. It will be carried out in two ways and there will be no delays." Production cycle.”
Zhou Yan thought for a while and asked, "Is it convenient for me to go and have a look?"
Hearing this, Liu Wenwu did not hesitate at all, and even said with a little excitement, "Of course, no problem, you are welcome at any time."
"Where are you?"
"We are in a guest house here in Xiaoxitian."
“What’s the specific location and name of the guest house?”
"Ruiqi Guest House is opposite Xinghuo Primary School and south of Wenhuiyuan Road."
Zhou Yan looked at his watch, it was three o'clock, and said, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
The main reason is that this location is not far from the studio, only a few kilometers, so it is very convenient to go there.
"Okay, I happen to be in the guest house right now, and the room number is 202." Liu Wenwu said.
……
Then Zhou Yan didn't waste any time and asked the driver to take him to the place Liu Wenwu mentioned.
The location is easy to find. Turn from Xinjiekou Street to Wenhuiyuan Road, and you will see the Ruiqi Guesthouse that Liu Wenwu mentioned about about three to four hundred meters away.
Zhou Yan asked the driver to go back first and entered the guest house alone.
The conditions of the guest house are average. It looks quite shabby from the outside and very simple inside.
Zhou Yan went straight to the second floor, found room 202, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
As soon as the door knocked, a voice came, "Here we come."
Soon, the door opened from inside.
The person who opened the door was a man about forty years old, not tall and unkempt.
Zhou Yan recognized this person as Liu Heping.
But before he could speak, Liu Heping spoke first, "Teacher Zhou, nice to meet you."
At this time Liu Wenwu also came from behind, "Mr. Zhou, I am Liu Wenwu, and this is Liu Heping."
He was afraid that Zhou Yan wouldn't recognize them, so he took the initiative to introduce himself.
Zhou Yan smiled and shook hands with the two of them respectively, "I have admired you for a long time, I have admired you for a long time, and my sudden visit has caused trouble for you."
"No, no, it's just that the environment here is simple. I hope Mr. Zhou won't dislike it."
The environment is indeed simple, the room is not big, there are two beds one and two meters wide, the whole room is a mess, there are all kinds of books and documents everywhere, and there is not much room to put your feet down. The key is that they smoke, and the room smells like old smokers, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable when I first come in.
Liu Wenwu found a chair for Zhou Yan, and then poured him a cup of tea. "The conditions are simple and there is no good tea."
Zhou Yan took the cup and said with a smile: "I can see that you have been here for a long time."
"Mainly because he has been living here for a few months and almost didn't go back during the Chinese New Year. The rest of us don't usually live here."
After Liu Wenwu finished speaking, he took out a box of cigarettes and gave them to Zhou Yan first. Zhou Yan waved his hand to indicate that he did not smoke, and he threw another one to Liu Heping.
Soon, the two began to smoke and puff.
Liu Heping smiled and said, "Fortunately, the overall situation went very smoothly."
“It’s really going smoothly.”
In fact, twenty-seven episodes of the script had been written before Liu Heping came to Yanjing, but Liu Wenwu felt that the layout of the script needed to be improved.
Therefore, Liu Wenwu specially brought Liu Heping to Yanjing, and then formed a planning team to assist Liu Heping in completing the script creation.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
"Teacher Zhou, would you like to read the script?" Liu Wenwu offered to let Zhou Yan read the script.
Prior to this, Zhou Yan had only seen one version of the planning plan and had not seen the complete script. After all, the script had not been released before.
"Of course." Zhou Yan smiled, this was also the purpose of his trip.
Liu Wenwu had prepared a script in advance and sent it to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan took the script and said with a smile, "Then I'll read the script first."
"Look, Mr. Zhou, don't worry about us."
Zhou Yan nodded and began to read the script seriously.
Here Zhou Yan is reading the script, while Liu Wenwu and Liu Heping are smoking and observing Zhou Yan.
The two of them had seen Zhou Yan on TV before, and when they saw him in person this time, they both marveled at how handsome Zhou Yan was, as if he had just stepped out of TV.
Liu Wenwu is thirty-four years old this year, and there is only a seven-year age difference between him and Zhou Yan, but when the two of them stand together, they feel like they are more than ten years apart.
And such an outrageously handsome young man has become a well-known director, musician, and even a well-known writer at home and abroad.
Although the two of them didn't have time to read Zhou Yan's new book because of the script, they knew how popular "Never Let Me Go" has been recently.
Several other people in the planning team mentioned this book when chatting in the past few days.
Liu Wenwu had read Zhou Yan's "Tree Hole". At that time, he didn't know Zhou Yan, and thought that the author "Zhou Chan" was at least a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a young man in his twenties.
All in all, when Zhou Yan wrote "Tree Hole", he was only twenty-one years old at most, or even younger.
After all, the release of the novel must be later than the time of writing. As for the time difference, I don’t know. Maybe Zhou Yan was not even twenty when he wrote "Tree Hole".
Liu Heping has also watched "Tree Hole". He has not only watched "Tree Hole", but also studied the movie "Tree Hole". He studied it in a real way. He studied the film "Tree Hole" piece by piece, and also studied other movies. script.
Now that Zhou Yan came to see the script, Liu Heping was also curious about how Zhou Yan would evaluate their script.
Zhou Yan read the script so quickly that Liu Heping and Liu Wenwu were surprised.
The two of them are engaged in writing work. Liu Wenwu was an editor before and his reading speed is faster than ordinary people, but Zhou Yan's reading speed still puts him to shame.
When he came across a place with few words, Zhou Yan simply glanced at it and turned the page.
The speed is so fast that one wonders whether he has read clearly what is written in the script.
The reason why Zhou Yan can read so quickly is that, on the one hand, his reading speed is faster than that of ordinary people, and on the other hand, he has watched "Yongzheng Dynasty" and knows the plot. The script he has now is closely related to the final TV series. The film difference is not big.
It's normal to have differences. No TV series script in the world is exactly the same as the final film. There will definitely be modifications during filming.
Zhou Yan looks at the same places faster, but when he encounters different things, Zhou Yan slows down a little.
Some of these different places Zhou Yan thought were better in the previous life, and some places Zhou Yan thought this version was good. While reading, he wrote down the parts that he thought were better in the previous version.
By the time Zhou Yan finished reading the script, it was not yet six o'clock.
After reading it, Zhou Yan let out a long sigh of relief, and Liu Heping and Liu Wenwu next to him both looked over.
Meeting their eyes, Zhou Yan praised, "This script is very good."
Hearing Zhou Yan's praise, the two of them seemed to have taken reassurance and continued to look at Zhou Yan with expectant eyes.
But after Zhou Yan said this, he stopped talking.
Liu Wenwu was stunned for a moment, "No more?"
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "This script has so many advantages that I can't tell you all at the moment. And you two don't want to hear those kind words from me today, right?"
Now Liu Wenwu came to his senses, Zhou Yan had some opinions on the script.
He didn't mind hearing other people's opinions, so he asked again, "I wonder if Mr. Zhou has any suggestions?"
Since Liu Wenwu asked, Zhou Yan stopped going around in circles and said directly, "There are indeed a few places..."
As he spoke, he opened the script, pointed to one place, and said, "Other places are just minor problems, but here it is really a bit long-winded."
The two of them raised their heads and looked at each other, and then they looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
The reason why they were surprised was because the issue they had been discussing these days was right here.
The plot here, as written in the original book, is that Liu Molin has to go through three levels to meet Su Shunqing, and plays the piano to show off his talents. The novel is very detailed and has a sense of pictures, but the script does not work well.
They thought about many ways together, but they all felt that it would not work and were at a loss.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yan could tell there was something wrong with such a long script.
But if you think about it from another perspective, the problem in this place is really serious, so much so that people can see it at a glance.
"I don't know, what's the problem here? Do you have any suggestions, Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I suggest that this paragraph be simplified."
"This..." Liu Wenwu was a little reluctant to give up, because the original work was written very well.
Zhou Yan smiled and said nothing. He didn't necessarily want to convince Liu Wenwu.
He turned to another page, "This place..."
Seeing Zhou Yan skipping the place in front of him, Liu Wenwu became anxious and grabbed Zhou Yan's hand, "Mr. Zhou, can't we really change that place?"
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I don't have any good ideas anyway. The final decision depends on you. I am only responsible for raising questions, not solving them."
After hearing what Zhou Yan said, Liu Wenwu sighed, "Okay." (End of Chapter)
