    "Hello, is this Director Xiao Qin?" The voice on the other end of the phone was old but dignified.

    Qin Tianzhu felt a little nervous when he received the call from the top leader.  "Hello, General Secretary, I am Qin Tianzhu!"

    "I have heard about your reputation as Qin Tianzhu for a long time. I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but I never had the chance.

    "The movie "Prison Break" you shot this time is very good. It not only created an amazing commercial success, but also made an outstanding contribution to the export of our country's cultural products.  Moreover, the play itself also has very profound social significance and plays a positive guiding role in the current increasingly severe anti-Japanese struggle in our country.  Here, on behalf of the Party Central Committee, I would like to express my congratulations to you, Meihua Media, for your outstanding achievements, and my sincere gratitude for your contribution to the construction of national spiritual civilization.  "

    "Thank you, General Secretary, for your concern!"

    When Qin Tianzhu made this drama, he only considered the company¡¯s commercial interests, and the anti-corruption content in the drama was also based on commercial considerations.  At first, it was just a temporary idea to combine the content of the finale with the plot of "Infernal Affairs III". I thought it would be a cool thing.  He expected a good reaction from the audience.  The enthusiastic response from the official level was beyond his expectation, and he did not expect that it would attract the attention of the top leadership.

    Next, the general secretary asked him about the development of Meihua Company, and encouraged Qin Tianzhu to take big steps in the development of the cultural industry, move forward courageously, and play a leading role in the industry.  Let them not be intimidated by some resistance and difficulties around them. If they encounter difficulties, they should seek help from local governments and even the central government.

    The general secretary¡¯s words were meaningful and were a response to some of the troubles Meihua Media encountered in the past few months.

    "Xiao Qin, I heard from Director Liang that you, Plum Blossom, have accepted a drama to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the founding of our party?"

    "Well, that's what happened. Our company must not only consider economic benefits, but also consider making its due contribution to the construction of socialist spiritual civilization!"

    Naturally, Qin Tianzhu¡¯s words were too high-sounding. He took on the gift drama purely out of flattery considerations, and on the other hand, he also wanted to repay Director Liang¡¯s favor.

    "Haha, what you said is very good, and your consciousness is very high! Let me tell you the news, your "Prison Break" has been watched by several comrades of our Standing Committee. I hope you can make it in the future.  More good works that are praised and praised for promoting social righteousness will come out. We will strive to develop all our comrades in the Standing Committee to become fans of your plum blossom drama, hahaha!"

    The general secretary spoke in a relaxed and cheerful manner, and a hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone.

    "Yes, General Secretary, we at Meihua Media will definitely work hard and live up to the expectations of our leaders!"

    After Qin Tianzhu hung up the phone, a group of company executives in the office all looked at Qin Tianzhu.

    "What did the General Secretary say?" Everyone here could only hear Qin Tianzhu's response of yes, yes, yes, thank you, but they really didn't know what they talked about on the phone.

    Qin Tianzhu smiled slyly: "It's nothing, the general secretary just said that I, Qin Tianzhu, am so handsome that I have alarmed the Party Central Committee, and told me to continue to work hard and keep it up."

    "Damn!" Everyone looked down upon him.

    After Qin Tianzhu conveyed the general secretary's words to everyone, he said: "It seems that we need to pay more attention to "The Decision of Destiny" and make it the first focus this year. The company's resources must be tilted towards this drama and strive for it.  This drama must maintain quality and quantity, and be completed on time.¡±

    Everyone nodded in agreement after hearing this. Originally, the TV series directed by Qin Tianzhu must be the company's top priority, and all resources would be concentrated on him.  But now, this gift drama has attracted the attention of senior leaders, which has forced Meihua Company to adjust its policy appropriately.

    As the manager of the film and television department, Jin Guanghua said: "The drama "Decision of Destiny" is mainly based on the processing of historical facts. It is not difficult to write the script. The key is to write it brilliantly. I think, the above face  Our hope for this tribute drama is that it can attract the interest of as many viewers as possible, especially young viewers, in order to achieve the purpose of publicity. Since this is the case, we will invest more screenwriting efforts and strive to write the conflicts in the script as well as possible.  Sharper and tighter paced!¡±

    The company¡¯s screenwriter strength is not a problem. At present, the total number of senior screenwriters, assistant screenwriters, and intern screenwriters of various levels has a team of nearly 150 screenwriters.  After several years of adapting the collective creation model, although it cannot be said to be perfect, at least it has achieved the effect of one plus one being greater than two, and it can also meet the company's requirements in terms of construction period.

    Next year, "The Decision of Destiny" will be one, the film "The Swordsman" will be one, and the other one will be"Looking for Qin" co-produced by TVB.  At present, "Looking for Qin" has been completed and is in intense post-production.  This drama, with a total investment of more than 50 million yuan from both parties and took more than a year to produce, can be regarded as a costume drama.  Meihua Media has won the domestic broadcasting rights. With the influence of the urban and rural TV network platform, the income exceeds Meihua's investment of more than 20 million yuan, which is more than enough.

    Jin Guanghua continued to introduce the filming plans of the film and television department: "In addition to the above three films, this year, the company will also invest in an idol drama "Full House." The script of this drama was written by He Ran (head of the screenwriting team) last year  It has been completed, the script has been revised several times, and it is very mature.¡±

    The project "Full House" is not the result of Qin Tianzhu's golden finger, but He Ran's own project.  He Ran is an assistant screenwriter recruited by the company. After completing the screenwriting task handed down by the company, he adapted the script "Full House" based on the popular Asian comic "Full House". After being spotted by the company, he went through several rounds of work from the screenwriting department.  After months of refinement and revision, the script is now complete.

    (In the original history, He Ran basically completed the script in 2003, with a total of 18 episodes. At that time, He Ran's company thought that He Ran's plot was too exciting and hoped that he would change the plot to be more consistent with Chinese life. But in He Ran's view,  The script of a youth idol should be full of dreams and beautiful romance, so he spent a long time with the company and finally dropped it. It was not until 2004 when the drama came to China to shoot that he knew that the company had already written him  The script was sold to a Korean company.)

    Qin Tianzhu suggested: ¡°Let¡¯s choose Korean actor Song Hye Kyo as the heroine of this drama, right?¡±

    The memory of another person in his mind seems to be quite fascinated by Song Huiqiao. On the other hand, this is also considered a masterpiece of Song Huiqiao, and Qin Tianzhu does not want to always deprive others of opportunities.

    "Is she the actress who played "Blue Life and Death"?" "Blue Life and Death" is a TV series released in South Korea last year. It is very popular. Many people in China have watched it through the Internet.  Jin Guanghua is an industry insider, and Korean dramas are Qin Tianzhu's key competitor. He is very aware of the ups and downs of Korean dramas.

    Seeing Qin Tianzhu nod, he also replied: "Okay, she is a good actress, then use her!" Of course, if people are not interested in the heroine, Meihua Media will not force her.

    ??The actress of this drama can choose the original cast, but the male lead is embarrassed.  Qin Tianzhu's Meihua Media has always focused on the discovery and cultivation of domestic male stars. "Full House" is a good project, which is very conducive to the fame of male stars.

    Qin Tianzhu¡¯s choice for the male lead is Huang Xiaomin. Although his acting skills are more controversial, he is handsome enough and hardworking enough.  As for idol dramas, the key is to have good-looking men and beautiful women, and the requirements for acting skills are not too high, which is convenient for Huang Xiaomin, who has little acting experience, to train.  What's more, Meihua Media stole the male lead in "New Shanghai Beach", so there has to be a supplement, right?

    The last drama is Xu Zheng's "Li Wei Becomes an Official". This drama started filming last year. The script was submitted to Meihua by a screenwriter outside the company, and Meihua Media was responsible for the investment and filming.  At present, "Li Wei Becomes an Official" has been finalized and will be scheduled to be broadcast on urban and rural TV networks during this year's Spring Festival.

    "Li Wei Becomes an Official", "Full House", "Swordsman", "Decision of Destiny", "Looking for Qin" are the dramas prepared by Meihua Media for 2001.

    In fact, there are many scripts being prepared by Meihua Media. There is no doubt about the creative ability of the entire company¡¯s screenwriting team of about 150 people.  It's just that most of these screenwriters were recruited as new recruits, and they cannot be said to be fully qualified screenwriters of Meihua Media.  In addition, Plum Blossom Company has to brush off a large number of immature scripts at various stages such as script creative generation, TV station review, drama fan review, and film and television department review.  When the script is finally perfected, it usually has to go through five stages and six generals, and it takes about a year to complete each stage of the process.

    Jin Guanghua estimates that Meihua Media will usher in a quantitative peak in 2002.

    At the meeting, Qin Tianzhu also assigned some tasks to Zhou Jiapeng to acquire domestic Internet companies.  After the Internet investment bubble burst last year, Internet companies are now in a trough. Companies everywhere are selling themselves for business, which is perfect for companies with abundant cash flow like Meihua Media to take advantage of.

    After the meeting and a year of hard work, Qin Tianzhu finally had time to enjoy his Spring Festival holiday.

    During the entire Spring Festival, except for a few days with Zhang Xiaobei in the countryside, he was mostly at home.

    During this year¡¯s Spring Festival, the ratings battle for the Spring Festival stalls on TV screens is particularly fierce.  Qin Tianzhu flipped through his TV set, and there were all kinds of dramas including idol dramas, military dramas, period dramas, comedies, anti-corruption dramas, historical dramas, etc.  He found that there were many episodes that he had no impression of at all.?, the quality of the series is also good, and the visual effect of these series has been greatly improved.  Judging from Qin Tianzhu's own memory, the current production level of domestic TV series is almost the same as the level in his mind in 2012.

    ¡°I have been in this industry for nearly four or five years, and after all, I have had a positive role in promoting the domestic TV drama industry.  Nowadays, the powerful TV drama producers can already share advertising with TV stations. The environment for selling dramas is much more relaxed than that in China in 2012.  The improvement of the market environment has naturally led to an increase in the investment scale of producers. As the investment scale increases, the quality of drama series will also increase.

    The development of the domestic TV drama industry has embarked on a healthy development track.

    Of course, although there are many dramas during the Spring Festival, the really powerful ones are "Li Wei Becomes an Official" from Chengrong Network and "Kangxi Dynasty" from Chaoting TV Station.  The two dramas were aired almost at the same time, and there is a strong sense that they are different from each other.

    By the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, the two dramas were still in full swing.  Qin Tianzhu learned that the average viewership of "Li Wei's Official" was 200 million, and that of "Kangxi Dynasty" was 160 million. Urban and Rural Networks steadily surpassed the Imperial TV station.  This must be quite depressing for the imperial court who wants to make a comeback.

    In fact, the 160 million viewers of "Kangxi Dynasty" is already very impressive, which translates into a ratings of around 12, which is slightly better than in history.  More than 40 million yuan was invested in this "Kangxi Dynasty". With increased investment, the ratings have also improved.  Although "Li Wei's Official" has a viewership of 200 million, it is not as good as "New Shanghai", but this is not due to the quality of the series. After all, the competitors during the Spring Festival period are too strong, diverting "Li Wei"  Many viewers of "Being an Official".

    Qin Tianzhu looked at Xu Zheng's lazy performance on the TV screen and couldn't help but laugh.  During the Spring Festival, comedies are still more popular. "Li Wei's Official" can be better than "Kangxi Dynasty". The type of drama should be a big advantage.

    This "Li Wei is an Official", like "The Brilliant Pig Bajie", also uses very cartoon cutscenes.  Every time during the cutscene, Xu Zheng's cackling laughter of "Gurgling!" would always come from the TV, and the comedy effect was very strong.

    "Li Wei Becomes an Official" gave Meihua Media a good start in 2001.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
