Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

On the other side of the phone, Qin Lei put down the phone, folded his hands behind his head, leaned back on the chair, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally he let out a sigh of relief, so cool!

Oh, that movie must be a big hit.

It would be best if it is re-screened every year and popular every year!

I don’t know what movie Director Chen will shoot next, it would be best if he comes to their island again.

Like underwater combat, he can come!

If he comes a few more times, he might get promoted.

…

“The next part will not be fictional, I plan to shoot something realistic.”

In a conference room on the top floor of Oriental Media, Chen Xiao said to Fang Rong.

"Realistic?"

"Yes, very realistic."

Fang Rong sighed, "Hey, it seems you are going to sin again."

"Not really, realistic despair, realistic hope."

Seeing that Chen Xiao didn't intend to elaborate, Fang Rong didn't ask about the content of the movie, and changed the topic.

"So you plan to make another movie in the second half of the year? Don't you want to change your taste? Too regular, right? Look at me, although I'm over 50, I'm still willing to take challenges. I used to shoot historical dramas, and in the past two years, I not only changed the subject matter, but also shifted my focus from TV dramas to the big screen. You should also change occasionally, just as a way to adjust your mood."

Chen Xiao nodded.

Yes, I'll let you change your mood in a while.

"It's indeed too regular. So I also plan to write a novel."

"Write a novel?"

"Yes."

Fang Rong nodded thoughtfully, "Are you going to shift your focus to the screenwriting industry?"

Chen Xiao shook his head and took out a folder from a pile of documents beside him, which contained a simplified version of the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

"No, my focus has always been on making money. I occasionally make art films to earn a reputation."

"Oh, you shouldn't care too much about money at a young age. If you have so much money and don't spend it, it's not your money. Do you understand? So give me the money, I'll help you spend it, and you can earn it slowly."

Chen Xiao joked: "No, are you so short of money?"

Fang Rong was not embarrassed, after all, he has been crying poor for a long time.

"I'm the same as your father. I don't have the card in my hand. Your sister-in-law gives me 120,000 yuan for living expenses every month. I go to a few dinner parties, and my pocket is basically empty. I still have to choose the dinner parties to go to, oh."

Chen Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

120,000 yuan?

He spends most of his time on the crew, and he doesn't need to treat most of the dinner parties, right?

Isn't 120,000 yuan a month enough? !

He really deserves to be the head of the Intelligence Department.

What kind of social phobia is this?

From this point of view, the sister-in-law has her reasons. Limit the amount to save you from going to every dinner party.

As if seeing Chen Xiao's surprise, Fang Rong sighed and said, "Young Master, you have never suffered from the bottom. How do you think I climbed up? If you don't know your interpersonal relationships, you will easily offend people by arranging your mortal enemies and ex-boyfriends and girlfriends together."

Chen Xiao nodded.

"Then I'll give you a rich and famous script."

As he said this, Chen Xiao took out a small stack of bound papers from a folder.

Fang Rong signed a contract with the company.

It doesn't have to be as troublesome to talk to him as it was to talk to Chazelle. Just show him a simplified version of the script under surveillance.

It doesn't matter if there is no surveillance, because you can't fill out the full version anyway.

Looking at his actions, Fang Rong was a little excited.

Here it comes! His script is finally here!

What is it?

Chen Xiao always likes to use a small perspective to show the big background of the times.

The protagonist should not be the emperor.

Is it the imperial physician? A ninth-rank official? A court minister? A royal chef? Or someone else?

Thinking of this, the script was pushed to him.

Fang Rong looked down with great interest, and was stunned for a moment. He looked up and said in surprise: "The Legend of Zhen Huan? A female?"

Chen Xiao nodded.

Fang Rong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, dramas with strong female protagonists are popular recently. Although I have never filmed it, it's okay, the challenge is interesting."

Fang Rong glanced at the script again.

Dramas with strong female protagonists are good.

Nowadays girls focus on their careers and self-awareness.

But although dramas with strong female protagonists are popular, there are not many good films.

Some even use the banner of dramas with strong female protagonists to shoot dramas with sweet wives, or even dramas with strong male protagonists.

There are few dramas on the market where the protagonists are excellent and rely on their own wisdom, connections, and abilities to rise all the way. Most of them rely solely on connections, or more accurately, love, to rise.

Overall, the market for dramas with strong female protagonists is indeed huge at present.

Fang Rong picked up the script, "Female champion? Female doctor? Assisted the emperor in the end?"

"No, she became the empress dowager."

Fang Rong paused as he was about to open the cover

, his brain quickly turned, and two seconds later, he looked up in disbelief and said: "Wait a minute, becoming the queen mother? A cool novel? A palace drama?"

Chen Xiao nodded.

Fang Rong blinked and fell silent.

He had no problem with palace dramas, but... the novels his daughter loved to read quickly emerged in his mind.

He took a look, oh my god.

He paused while flipping the cover, and asked tentatively:

"Director Chen. You just said you want to write a novel, you won't regret it too, right? The hero is indifferent to the heroine, betrays her in every way, and even falls in love with someone else. The heroine is about to leave, and the hero suddenly realizes, throws a tantrum, hurts himself, and begs her to come back. This thing does have a market, but... isn't it a bit too down-to-earth, and the span of the field is too large?"

Chen Xiao was really speechless by him, and smiled and said: "Can you take a look first?"

This is a big heroine drama that has been popular for more than ten years! Sweeping the female frequency market, some boys also like to watch it.

What is he guessing about?

Seeing Fang Rong nod and open the script, Chen Xiao took out his phone and checked the message.

Five minutes later, he heard Fang Rong sigh: "Your heroine is really good. She is well-read and knowledgeable. Knowledge is her best support."

"Yes."

"The emperor is a good character! The emperor is majestic, his emotions are not revealed, he is deep and suspicious, and his emotions are always secondary to government affairs."

"That's right. This is not a serious drama, but I tell you that it has a serious drama color, largely because of the emperor."

A serious drama generally refers to a historical drama, pure history, with real historical events and historical figures as creative materials.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a costume drama.

But the emperor can make the plot close to historical events and historical figures, and show the majesty of the emperor. So compared with most costume dramas, there is a touch of serious drama color.

Chen Xiao continued: "We must choose the cast well."

Fang Rong nodded, "Well, don't worry."

As he said, he continued to flip down.

Another five minutes later, Fang Rong put down the script, and his face was no longer smiling.

He did like serious dramas, that was his personal hobby.

But there was no high or low grade in TV dramas, only good or bad quality.

This TV series in his hand was definitely a ceiling-level existence in costume dramas, especially those targeting the female market.

No wonder Chen Xiao said at the time that after the filming, many girls would definitely know his name.

Fang Rong sighed: "I'll film it! Oh, I didn't expect that at such an old age, I could still be famous among thousands of girls. It's really embarrassing, your sister-in-law will be jealous. Otherwise... you can give me some more money?"

"A thousand gold can't buy a harmonious husband and wife. Forget it, I'll find Director Sun."

"Don't." Fang Rong quickly pulled the file back, "She won't be jealous, I'll film it!"
