    "Xiao Zhu, Mom wants to ask you something. Has your company's film and television department received a script from a person signed by Qin Ya?"

    In the living room, Ling Yawen asked in a soft voice to Qin Tianzhu who was happily sitting on the sofa watching "Li Wei is an Official". This was very different from her usual image of a majestic and strict mother in front of Qin Tianzhu.

    "Qin Ya? What the hell, I didn't know that. Our company receives thousands of scripts from all over the country every day. The editors in our film and television department don't have time to read them one by one, let alone me, the boss. We are now  But the big shot is busy!¡±

    Qin Tianzhu didn¡¯t think about it carefully and replied casually, still staring at the TV screen.  Although he has watched "Li Wei Becomes an Official" before, after all, it is a new version produced by the company. The script has been processed and modified by the company's screenwriting department, and it is full of laughs. It is really an ideal choice for entertaining at home during the Spring Festival.

    He clicked his tongue while watching: "Well, Cheng Hao is a good actor. She is still at Shui Lingling's age and is very beautiful. If you have the opportunity, you can consider letting her play a role in Swordsman."

    Ling Yawen felt extremely annoyed when she saw him looking indifferent. Qin Tianzhu, who was watching with great interest, clearly heard some tiny grinding sounds in his ears.

    He turned his head and looked around, shouting in his heart that his mother was going to get angry.  Qin Tianzhu slapped his forehead, feeling annoyed in his heart, look at my understanding, my mother came to ask me in such a low voice, Qin Ya, Qin Ya, isn't she and his father each a pen name with one character.

    Qin Tianzhu smiled apologetically and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I was quite absorbed in watching TV just now. You just said that you submitted a script to our company, right?"

    "A person named Qin Ya submitted the script. I just asked her for it." But after thinking about it carefully, this brat was so clever that he probably guessed that he wanted to ask. In the end, he simply admitted: "Yes.  Yes, it¡¯s your mother and I who voted for the script, what¡¯s going on with your company, why do you have to say back whether it¡¯s successful or not?¡±

    As expected, it must be that my mother enthusiastically submitted a script that she thought was very good, but was ignored by the film and television department. Now she wants to take it out on her son.

    He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "You submit the script and write your own name, isn't that all? If you write Qin Ya, who knows who you are? If it doesn't work, you can sign it as Qin Tianzhu's mother. The film and television department was dubious, so why not  I¡¯ll forward it to me for a look! Hahaha!¡±

    "What are you talking about? Do I look like someone who relies on my son to open the back door? I am a Chinese teacher with more than ten years of working experience, so I rely on my own ability."

    Ling Yawen looked disdainful. She originally wanted to rely on her own ability to write a successful script and make him admire her as a mother, but now it seems that she is asking for humiliation.  Qin Tianzhu's mother, your company employees thought they were scolding their boss after seeing this.

    Qin Tianzhu smiled and said: "Mom, you'd better show it to me directly! If you submit a manuscript to the film and television department, the chance is really slim. Our company really doesn't have time to read it."

    Don¡¯t say you don¡¯t have time to review. I receive so many scripts every day that I don¡¯t even have time to reply to them with rejection letters.

    Plum Blossom Company¡¯s drama series mainly uses scripts from its own writing department, but it does not exclude foreign scripts.  But most of these foreign scripts are the work of well-known writers or editors in society, or they are recommended by others.

    Of course, this does not mean that it is meaningless for ordinary people to send scripts to Plum Blossom Company. The Film and Television Department will still screen some works that look good for review. Although most of the results of the review are the fate of being shot, the authors of excellent scripts will receive  Go to Plum Blossom Company to sign a contract with the screenwriter to join the franchise.  Among the more than 150 screenwriters at Meihua Media, about 30% are selected this way.

    After Qin Tianzhu looked at his boss's script, he could only shake his head mercilessly. Compared with the company's requirements, it was too different.  The script written by Lao** is a romance genre, with delicate emotions, and a kind of feeling can be reflected between the lines, but the plot is too scattered and will never catch the eye of the film and television department.

    "Is it that bad? I haven't co-written the script of "Cha Classmate Boy" with you before. I compared it and it's not much different?" Naturally, I always have a special preference for the works I write.  In fact, even if Qin Tianzhu now creates a script by himself or even plagiarizes a later script, such as "Cha Classmate Boy", it will probably not pass the review of the Film and Television Department.  The script standard that requires explosive points and breakthroughs every so often is indeed extremely strict. It is impossible for a single person to achieve such a demanding goal.

    At present, there seems to be a wave of entrepreneurial enthusiasm in the entire Lingquan City.  At the end of last year, Lingquan City's cultural and creative industrial park was officially approved as a national-level development zone. Throughout Lingquan City, people who have some ideas about the cultural, film and television industry have become more eager to take action.  Especially the entrepreneurial method of writing a blockbuster script is even more popular.?Introduction is the fastest and easiest path to success.  In Lingquan City, script writing has become a national movement in this small town.  Qin Tianzhu felt that maybe his mother was also chasing this enthusiasm.

    Seeing that his mother was a little disappointed, Qin Tianzhu asked her for some gossip, deliberately attracting her attention.  "Mom, why doesn't Uncle Lang come to our house during the Spring Festival this year?"

    Ling Yawen asked curiously: "What are you here for?"

    "Of course I'm meeting my parents. If his performance doesn't satisfy me, how can I let him easily marry my beautiful and gentle mother back? Hahaha!"

    Thinking of Uncle Lang¡¯s expression of wanting to cry without tears after marrying his gentle mother back, and finally finding out that he was marrying a big female insect, Qin Tianzhu couldn¡¯t help but laugh out loud, feeling extremely happy.

    Just after the Lantern Festival, Meihua Media ushered in the company¡¯s relocation.  After one year of construction, the construction of the company's headquarters building has been largely completed, leaving only some greening work around it unfinished.  However, everyone in the company can't wait. In the past two years, the number of employees in the company has increased sharply. The Weixing Building where the company used to work has been overcrowded. Everyone has long been looking forward to moving to the new building.

    The new office building consists of five eight-story diamond-shaped fiberglass buildings, distributed in a five-point plum blossom formation.  There are corridors connecting each other.  The address of the company's headquarters is No. 001, Avenue of Stars. The name of the road is domineering, and the house number is equally domineering.

    On this completed Avenue of Stars, No. 002 is a 27-story entrepreneurial building built by the government. It is an office building specially used for leasing to entrepreneurial companies.  No. 003 is Wangjiang Hotel, a property owned by Zeng Ze's group company. It is the only five-star hotel in the city.  No. 004 is the headquarters building of Global Village Technology. It is a 30-story cube building. This height has also reached the current height limit of Lingquan City. Otherwise, with the wealth of Global Village, the building height will continue to rise.  add.

    These are the main buildings that have been completed. Along the main road of Avenue of Stars, there are still rows of buildings under intensive construction.  Lingquan City is thriving and full of vitality for construction and entrepreneurship.

    In the new year, Meihua Media has successively established Meihua Entertainment Company based on the original film and television department, Meihua Agency Company based on the artist management department, and Meihua Music Company based on the music department.

    When allocating office buildings, the Meihua Group headquarters occupied the middle building. In addition to some headquarters management personnel, the current headquarters also has the film and television city business and film and television equipment departments that are temporarily under the direct management of the headquarters.

    The east building belongs to Amethyst Digital Technology, and all entertainment technology businesses will be located here in the future; the south building belongs to New Thinking Advertising Company, and the "Hurun" magazine under preparation will also work here; the west building belongs to Meihua  The entertainment company is the main business of the group, and its staff is also expanding rapidly. It occupies a separate office building; the north building is shared by Meihua Brokerage Company and Meihua Music Company.  Naturally, such a large office area will definitely be full, but with the development speed of Meihua Media, these office buildings will not be idle for long.

    With the new building and new atmosphere, everyone in the company is happy and full of confidence in the company's development prospects.

    A few days after moving into the new building, Qin Tianzhu got into busy work.  He summoned several main creators from the "Swordsman" crew to discuss the style of martial arts dramas.  Qin Tianzhu filmed "Swordsman" not just for this one drama, he wanted to define the style of all martial arts dramas of Meihua Company and form a martial arts drama style with Meihua Company characteristics.

    Currently, Zhang Zhong is still making intense preparations for "Swordsman", and the creative staff has only identified a few main behind-the-scenes personnel.

    Action director Cheng Xiaodong is a well-known martial arts director in Hong Kong. In his early years, he became a popular martial arts film director in the Chinese film industry for directing "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Swordsman". Together with the famous director Xu Ke, he created a new era of Hong Kong martial arts. He is also the director of this film.  Assistant director of the play.

    Producer Zhang Zhong; Music Director Yu Quan; Art Director Song Honglai, an associate professor from the China Academy of Art, specializing in the study of Chinese classical ink painting; Special Effects Director Zhu Shaobing, the backbone of Amethyst Visual Effects, specializing in CG special effects.

    As the director, Qin Tianzhu spoke first.

    "There have been many versions of the Kim Yong drama, especially the dramas filmed by Hong Kong TVB, and the quality is quite good. So if we go to film it again, what can be new or improved?"

    Qin Tianzhu asked everyone this question at the beginning, and he also asked himself this question.  "Today we are not going to talk about the actors in each drama or the plot of each Jin Yongbu adaptation. That would be too specific. Today we are just going to discuss some common things in martial arts dramas to establish our style."

    ¡°Our martial arts drama must be shot in a grand and realistic way!¡±This is Zhang Zhong¡¯s answer, and this is what he is good at.  Qin Tianzhu nodded after hearing this: "Our current market environment is very good. There is no need to worry about investment. It is not difficult to make a martial arts drama grand."

    Seeing that everyone didn¡¯t have any specific ideas, Qin Tianzhu simply presented his own ideas first.  "I think our first step is to inherit the success of Hong Kong martial arts dramas. Where their success lies, I think the most important thing is their positioning. Hong Kong martial arts dramas are positioned in a fast food culture. I think  It makes sense, we need to inherit!¡±

    By comparison, the version of "Swordsman" filmed by Chaotingdai did not have a good reputation.  Qin Tianzhu felt that the reason for this was wrong positioning.

    You can never say that version of "The Swordsman" is a bad drama. In fact, it is extremely well-produced.  But he just didn't like the audience because it was shot too elegantly, too quietly and restrained.  The director who filmed this drama is a middle-aged man, and his style of filming is more suitable for the tastes of middle-aged and elderly people. Mr. Jin Yong himself said that he liked the "Swordsman" very much. Qin Tianzhu felt that he did not mean it as a compliment.  talk.  That version of "The Swordsman" was shot very elegantly and elegantly, just like a taste of fragrant tea, worthy of being savored by these older and more elegant people.

    However, the main audience for watching martial arts dramas are young people, especially young students. Their hope for martial arts dramas is a cup of iced black tea or a cup of Coca-Cola. They have absolutely no patience to sit down and enjoy tea slowly.  And it is impossible for young people to taste the connotation.

    Therefore, Qin Tianzhu's positioning of his version of "Swordsman" is also fast food culture.  As a businessman, he will never go against the main target audience of a drama.

    Zhang Ji had some opinions: "The same positioning as Hong Kong dramas? Then why are we putting so much effort into it?"

    "Of course it will be different!" Qin Tianzhu explained: "What I mean is that we can add a little more connotation, more elegance, and some art to the positioning of fast food culture, but the steps must not be too big.  Deviating from the basic positioning of fast food!¡±

    Cheng Xiaodong asked: "You are talking about inheritance, so how should we carry forward, innovate and find new breakthroughs?"

    Although he is a Hong Kong martial arts master, he feels that it would not be a good thing if he simply repeats previous Hong Kong dramas and martial arts films.

    Qin Tianzhu stood up, paced back and forth in the office, pondered for a long time, seemed to have sorted out his thoughts, and said: "Why do you think audiences like to watch martial arts dramas? Because the audience finds another world in martial arts dramas.  In this fairy tale-like world for adults, the audience can enjoy grudges, indulge in landscapes, and even fly into the sky and walk on walls, so they can feel free and at ease, which is much more interesting than the real world!"

    "Our martial arts drama will start with how to create this adult fairy tale world."

    "In the world of martial arts, we can start with some iconic props. For example, Qinggong, flute, flute, harp, martial arts, misty mountains, dynamic water, bamboo forests, rivers and lakes feelings, etc.!" (To be continued.
