Chapter 52 Get ready to go crazy
Watching Jiang Cheng leave, Lin Zhibai let out a breath.
As the actual boss of Kunpeng Investment, this is an identity that does not need to be disclosed to the outside world. He has now successfully put on the mask of private equity.
It’s been more than two months.
Lin Zhibai’s second step plan to fight for the family property has now officially taken the first step. From now on, he can operate both internally and externally simultaneously, growing up on his own while helping his family overtly and covertly.
But I will have to reduce the frequency of meetings with Jiang Cheng in the future.
Jiang Cheng is now the spokesperson for Kunpeng Investment promoted by Lin Zhibai. He will definitely attract widespread attention in the Qinzhou entertainment circle in the future. If the two of them come into contact too frequently, some clues may be discovered.
There happens to be no classes in school that day.
Lin Zhibai simply went back home to visit his family.
It was already afternoon when he arrived at his family's villa. His father had just gotten off work when he saw Lin Zhibai sitting on a chair in the courtyard reading a book. He couldn't help but smile and sat down next to his youngest son.
“What are you looking at?”
“Teaching composition.”
Lin Zhibai put down the book in his hand and read books about composition when he had nothing to do. Now he is no longer the novice who didn't understand anything.
“I’ve really grown up.”
Lin Dong smiled and said: "I already have my own job in my freshman year, and I am so successful at it. It is much better than me, the father. I didn't know what I was busy with when I was a freshman."
“How is dad’s work now?” Lin Zhibai asked with concern.
“I’m waiting for news from the production department.” Lin Dong said helplessly.
“Production department?”
"Our Shinhwa Production Department often receives some scripts, and those producers will select the scripts they think are valuable and contact the appropriate director for filming. I have read several scripts this year, but I am not particularly satisfied with them, so I just want to Let’s wait and see if there are any good scripts later.”
Lin Dong never talked about work with his son before.
But now Lin Zhibai is getting more and more mature, and Lin Dong, a father, is also willing to communicate with his son.
"so…"
Lin Zhibai pondered: "The screenwriter is equivalent to the composer, and the director is equivalent to the singer?"
“There is still a difference.”
Lin Dong explained: "Composers generally sign long-term contracts with entertainment companies, while screenwriters are more like mercenaries. Maybe if they cooperate with this company this time, they will cooperate with another company next time. Of course, the three major There are also some writers of my own.”
There was a pause.
Lin Dong added: "But there is generally no problem with your understanding. The status of big-name screenwriters is equivalent to the music fathers of your music industry. After all, the film and television industry is centered on screenwriters, so the scripts created by those big-name screenwriters can easily trigger the three major competitions.
“Just like the songs of your music idols.
“Aren’t the singers all rushing to audition?
"It's a pity that even if Shinhwa grabs the works of those big-name screenwriters, it won't be my turn to film them. Uncle Qi is a senior executive of the company and also serves as the director of production. He usually has the final say on how to allocate the scripts of big-name screenwriters, unless those big-name screenwriters don't agree."
Finished.
Lin Dong smiled and said: "These complaints will go away after hearing them, and I will just chat with you casually."
"Gold will always shine."
Lin Zhibai opened his mouth to comfort his father.
As a family member, Lin Zhibai has watched some TV series filmed by his father.
The ratings of these dramas are usually very high, but the ratings are mediocre. They are a bit popular but not popular. However, Lin Zhibai feels that as a director, there is no problem with his father's ability, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.
That second uncle got his neck stuck.
As my father said, the Blue Star film and television industry is a screenwriter-centered system.
The screenwriter-centered system means that screenwriters should take the leading position in the film and television production process.
In actual filming of film and television dramas, the one person on the crew who the actors dare not offend the most is the screenwriter teacher.
Because if you offend the director, the most you will get is a scolding. If you want to change actors, you have to consider that they have signed a contract in advance.
But what if the screenwriter is offended?
That is the rhythm of becoming invisible and even receiving a lunch box every minute.
The pen is in the hands of the screenwriter, but it is not the screenwriter who has the final say on how many roles the actors play?
Those big-name screenwriters can even decide on their own actors, and even worse, they can replace the director arranged by the investor. This shows their high status in the industry!
anyway.
Don’t think that the earth is all auteur-centered.
The director also has restrictions on producers and investors.
However, in general, the status of mainland directors is indeed high. Unlike the TV drama field in Hong Kong, the most implemented system is the supervision center system.
Europe and the United States are more complicated.
ˆ There are both director-centered systems, screenwriter-centered systems, and producer-centered systems.
In addition, many people should have watched Korean dramas.
In fact, Korean dramas have a typical writer-centered structure.
Thanks to this content-heavy model, the Korean Wave will become very popular after the millennium, and even start the cultural invasion mode, until later Korean dramas swept the global market.
Of course this is in the realm of television.
If it is in the film field of Blue Star, those big-name directors can still compete head-on with screenwriters. After all, movies are not only the art of scripts, but also the art of light and shadow.
In general.
Being a director at Blue Star is still very hard, and you often have to look at the screenwriter's face.
"hope so."
Lin Dong patted Lin Zhibai's arm.
Lin Zhibai smiled and looked into the distance.
According to the agreed plan, Jiang Cheng should have handed over the script of "Crazy" to a certain producer of Shinhwa, right?
The writer-centered system in the Blue Star TV circle.
This system limits the rights of TV drama directors like his father, but gives Lin Zhibai greater room for maneuver.
Get ready to go wild.
…
At the other end of the city.
Zhao Lei from the Shinhwa Entertainment Production Department was sitting in the driver's car going home after get off work. When he closed his eyes to relax, he suddenly received a strange phone call.
"Who are you?"
“Hello, Mr. Zhao, let me introduce myself. My name is Jiang Cheng, the representative of Kunpeng Investment.” A voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Kunpeng Investment?”
Zhao Lei knows many bosses of investment companies, and this is the first time Kunpeng has heard of it.
“Our company has just been established. It’s normal that Mr. Zhao has never heard of it. I have a script in hand. I wonder if Mr. Zhao is interested?”
“Which teacher’s work is it?”
Zhao Lei felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. He often received similar calls. Since the other party could get his number, it meant that he still had some strength.
“The screenwriter is Teacher Wuyehou.”
"Teacher Bu Yehou is a very good person..." "I'm sorry, this is the first time I've heard of the writer Bu Yehou."
Zhao Lei interrupted Jiang Cheng. He had lost interest in the script and made an excuse:
“I have something else to do now. Representative Jiang can send part of the script to my mailbox. I will read it when I have time.”
“Okay, hard work, bye.”
There was not much emotion in the other party's voice, and the call was hung up simply, without even asking for his email address.
Very tough.
This surprised Zhao Lei.
Normally, representatives of such investment companies who want to cooperate with Shinhwa Entertainment will try their best to say a few words about how good our script is and that you must read it carefully.
However, the call had been hung up, and Zhao Lei didn't take it to heart and continued to close his eyes and rest.
It was Zhao Lei’s driver who suddenly said this in front of a red light:
“The novels written by Bu Yehou are quite good.”
Zhao Lei, the driver, is a relative in his hometown, and he can occasionally talk to him.
“Is this person famous?”
Zhao Lei opened his eyes. He knew many famous writers, but he had no impression of Evernight Hou.
“It seems like a new person.”
The driver thought: "It must have just started not long ago. You know that I usually like to read Xianshu, and I happened to have read his works."
"Um."
Zhao Lei responded casually, but suddenly received an email notification on his phone.
The name of the letter writer is [Jiang Cheng, representative of Kunpeng Investment Company].
Zhao Lei was happy.
This representative of Kunpeng Investment seems to have a lot of energy. Not only did he get his phone number, but he even knew his email address.
Most of these people have a background.
No wonder he was so tough when he hung up the phone just now.
Thinking that there was still a long way to go home, Zhao Lei simply accepted the script and planned to read it casually, just to kill some time.
Under normal circumstances.
Zhao Lei will not read this type of script written by a newbie.
It’s not that Zhao Lei looks down on new screenwriters, nor is it that he is irresponsible for his work.
Those who can gain a foothold in Shinhwa Entertainment are not simple characters. It’s just that Zhao Lei’s identity and position are somewhat special, and he is exposed to too many different scripts every day.
If you read everyone’s scripts, you will definitely die of overwork!
Not to mention that it is Zhao Lei's off-duty time now, after a tiring day.
is.
Zhao Lei usually sends the works of unknown screenwriters to his staff for review first, and then selects the ones with a certain value and submits them. Only those works of famous screenwriters will be reviewed by him in person.
However, Jiangcheng was so well prepared and had its own number and email address, which aroused Zhao Lei's interest.
After the file download is completed.
Zhao Lei saw the basic information displayed on the first page of the script.
Script: Cyclonus
Genre: Police/City/Crime
Number of episodes: 43 episodes
In addition to the above content, it also introduces the identity and background of the two protagonists, and also provides a story summary.
Zhao Lei didn’t see anything surprising in the synopsis of the story. Like many police and gangster dramas, the official anti-crime and anti-crime campaign is used as the starting point, and the main goal is to capture a certain gangster.
Zhao Lei was somewhat surprised by the background introduction of the male protagonist An Xin.
“The design of the protagonist’s background is rare.”
The protagonist An Xin is not an ordinary grassroots detective?
In police dramas of the same type, the protagonists are usually at the grassroots level, at most they are the captain of the criminal police team.
An Xin’s identity is a bit special. To be precise, she has a very special background. Audiences will definitely like this background. Everyone likes the feeling that the protagonist has a backstage, with a bit of a "cool drama" color.
The following is the main text.
The time, scene and character dialogues are all regular script patterns.
The story of the first episode begins with the introduction of a place called "Jinghai".
Jinghai went through an anti-gang operation some time ago. The evil forces that had been entrenched for many years were eliminated, and the officials also seized a large amount of funds. Who knew that the water in this place was deeper than imagined—
There are actually evil forces in this city.
After receiving the report, the superior unit sent a guidance team and asked a leader named Xu Zhong to lead the team to completely dig out the evil forces in Jinghai.
Before leaving.
The above specifically reminds Xu Zhong:
We must use Jinghai Qiangsheng Group as a breakthrough point to solve the problem.
Jinghai Qiangsheng Group is a large enterprise with quite complex social relations. The company’s president, Gao Qiqiang, is also the local business leader in Jinghai, and his influence in the local area is extremely frightening.
The steering group arrived in Jinghai.
Then the protagonist An Xin officially appeared and interacted with the guidance team Xu Zhong and others.
An Xin, the young but white-haired male protagonist, brings the story back twenty years ago through a memory.
That year.
Gao Qiqiang, president of Qiangsheng Group, is just a fishmonger.
Gao Qiqiang was sent to the detention center during the Chinese New Year after being reported for fighting.
An Xin happened to be on duty that night.
The intersection of the two protagonists, black and white, begins here.
Zhao Lei looked at the script. As a qualified producer, he knew that the plot only really started here.
The beginning is very suspenseful.
Why does the male protagonist An Xin, who has a good background in the system, have gray hair twenty years later?
on the contrary.
The second male lead, Gao Qiqiang, was just a fish seller, and he couldn't even hold a fish stall at first.
The market bully just used some tricks and sent him to the detention center.
How could such a person at the bottom of society become the leader of the most lurking evil forces in Jinghai City in just twenty years or so?
.
Zhao Lei became slightly interested in the subsequent plot. He adjusted his posture and put away his carelessness.
“It’s a bit interesting...”
