Chapter 11 Discussion (Part 2)
Chen Linfeng didn’t think it was difficult, he expressed his understanding.
“The most popular drama this year is My Fair Princess. I read reports that the price per episode is much higher than other dramas in the past, and the second part will be even higher.
The price If you go up, you can't come down. Mainland production companies will soon follow suit."
He found the newspaper from the house and showed it to his father.
"Under such circumstances, increasing investment in TV dramas and increasing actors' remuneration will be the general trend in the future and inevitable."
Chen Shantong read the newspaper silently and remained silent.
Chen Linfeng continued to encourage, "With more investment, we can expand on a large scale, invite more stars to star, and it is easy to do publicity. It will be easy for everyone to know when the filming of the TV series starts.< br>
Such a large investment, high-profile high-quality drama can also gain higher bargaining power in front of the TV station. "
Chen Shantong opened his mouth, but in the end did not refute.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it."
Chen Linfeng said the last thing.
“With Zhang Lingtong playing the role of Sun Wukong, and other first-line stars joining in, and the production capabilities keeping up, it will be a real hit of the year.”
“It will be broadcast in a year or two. At that time, it’s unlikely that the producers will be able to sell as well as this year’s My Fair Princess.”
Chen Linfeng’s Map of the Kingdom of Yan has finally reached the end.
He is very optimistic about the plot of the sequel to Journey to the West, but the production level of the previous life is indeed a bit rough.
If Zhang Lingtong can join the cast and the production level of this era is top-notch, then the foundation for a top-notch drama will be there.
The most important thing is that Qian Yanqiu praised him and agreed to add his name after the screenwriter.
Of course he hopes that the ratings and reviews of this drama will be as high as possible.
Chen's father thought about it again and again, found a piece of paper, sketched it, wrote down the points mentioned by Chen Linfeng on the paper, and thought about it again and again.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, so he couldn't help but stand up and walk outside.
"You just came back, where are you going?" Mother Chen asked.
"I'm going to buy a train ticket. I'm late and can't catch tomorrow's train. I have to go to Cao Rong to discuss with other investors whether this can be done." Father Chen replied and left in a hurry. .
Shi Xiaolong could not restrain his surprise when he heard this.
My younger brother is so good at talking. He can even express his opinion on such a big matter, and his father agrees.
During the Chinese New Year this year, Chen's father never came back, and he didn't say anything specific on the phone. Just judging from his tone, the situation shouldn't be too bad.
Without the head of the family at home, the three of them did not feel deserted. Mother Chen and her two sons returned to their hometown a few years ago and did not return until after the New Year.
Last year, the provincial TV station broadcast Happy Little Monk several times, and relatives at home must have watched it, so this time Chen Linfeng was specially brought back to her hometown by Chen Linfeng to celebrate the New Year.
A large family gathered together to chat, and Mother Chen specifically named the TV series her second son starred in. The intention is self-explanatory.
Chen Linfeng was a little bit dumbfounded. His relatives at home had never expressed their different attitudes towards the brothers, but they could feel some subtle differences.
After all, Brother Long was indeed better than him at that time, and he was close to someone who had more promise. This was human nature, and he had nothing to care about.
But he had never experienced this kind of scene in his previous life when his son was looked down upon and his mother supported him, and he only felt extremely warm in his heart.
The other juniors in the family were not aware of these subtle emotions.
Chen Linfeng and Shi Xiaolong led the children from relatives and the same village to play horse vaulting, cockfighting, and horseback riding. They were very happy.
During this period, Chen Linfeng "wrote" two more short stories, both of which were movie stories he had seen in his previous life.
Until March 4, Chen's father returned home.
Mother Chen started to ridicule him as soon as she saw him. "Hey, isn't this our Dayu? Has the Yellow River been regulated?"
Father Chen was not annoyed and smiled, "I really have something to do. Look, I still remember that Xiaofeng wants to participate. I rushed back specifically for the rematch. "Huh, I still have some conscience and haven't forgotten all the important things about your son. If you wait a few days, I will take the two children. Then you can come back and see who will give it. You cook.”
Chen Shantong comforted his wife with kind words.
Chen Linfeng waited for the fight between the two bosses to end and asked,
"Dad, you have been out for such a long time, have you made any progress on the TV series?"
Wang Yanping also She looked at her husband with concern. Although she didn't show it on her face during the New Year, she was actually very concerned about the progress of this matter.
“My son is still good.”
Father Chen gave a thumbs up, “It’s just like what you said. After the extra pay, Zhang Lingtong became a little looser verbally. .
Later I came to the door a few more times, and I was really persuaded.
With him joining us, it will be much easier to discuss investment later. "
Chen Linfeng said in surprise, "Is it really settled? Zhang Lingtong plays Sun Wukong? "
This is the first time that Chen Linfeng has taken the initiative to change history, and he is really excited.
"Yes, it's settled. Father Chen said in a strange tone, "It's just that Cao Rong was a bit miserable this time. A good director became a co-director." ”
"Isn't this project organized by him? How could it still get out of control?" Chen Linfeng was puzzled. This had never happened in his previous life.
“Since it was officially confirmed that Zhang Lingtong will participate in the role, the industry has become a bit loud.”
Chen Shan Tonglu didn’t eat well, so he took a steamed bun from the kitchen and ate it with hot sauce. Bian said, "Several new investors entered the scene, including China Television Wuxi Film and Television Company, which is a giant in the industry. The leadership has changed. I don't know how it was negotiated. Cao Rong became responsible for action guidance."< br>
The director has been changed, and I don’t know what the new version of the sequel to Journey to the West will look like.
Chen Linfeng then asked, "Where is the script? Has the script been changed?"
"I heard that the original script was largely unchanged, and a new screenwriter was added to polish it. The specific changes should not be big."
Chen's father said a little embarrassed, "I heard that screenwriter Qian originally wanted to give you a hook As a screenwriter, it seems that there is not much hope now."
Of course Chen Linfeng felt a little unhappy, but he said calmly,
"At my age, there is no chance of being a screenwriter. It’s a bit inappropriate, so I might as well get rid of it.”
“What about the assistant director that Director Cao promised you?”
"Fortunately, I entered the scene early. I also invested money, so the assistant director can continue to work."
Mother Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "People outside here really don't follow the rules. They start from the beginning and still do things." I can pull him off his horse."
"You can't say that. I think Cao Rong looked quite satisfied. There must be some kind of compensation."
Then Chen Shantong thought of something. , said to his two sons.
“This time the opportunity has come for you two. When the new director compiled the script, he made certain adjustments to Nezha’s character.
I changed Nezha into a boy-looking character, and I recommended you two to audition. "
Shi Xiaolong was overjoyed. He finally got a chance. He had been bored at home in the past two years.
"This time it all depends on your own performance. Whoever is suitable will act. "
Then Father Chen warned worriedly, "Don't think that this role is ours. Be prepared and don't be snatched away by other young actors. "
"This is good news," Mother Chen reminded, "Xiaolong ask your brother for advice. He has read the script and knows how to prepare. ”
Father Chen patted the two of them on the shoulders, "You two work hard together. Whether you succeed or not depends on God's will, but you have to do your homework well."
The two brothers nodded in agreement.
Now that Chen Shantong is back, the original plan for Chen's mother to take the two brothers to Shanghai together has come to an end.
Shi Xiaolong felt like he was in mourning and wanted to go to Shanghai for a few days, but now he had to attend school honestly.
