Zhu Xufang was well versed in reading the script, and he frowned: “This script…”
“It’s good, but the results are difficult to say.” Zhu Xufang hesitated to give his own evaluation.
This script had quite a lot of short stories, and connected these short stories one by one, each of them meaningful, or was it like a fable story? Zhu Xufang had difficulty finding the exact adjectives.
Lin Meng nodded, and said as if she was righteous Ling Ran: “To be honest, Director Zhu also know that our company, has made a lot of money in a web drama and a movie produced so far, I thought for myself I also hope to shoot some more word-of-mouth and more artistic themes, which can also be regarded as a contribution to the film and television industry.”
Zhu Xufang heard this pleasingly. Isn’t this just a bit of his artistic pursuit as a director? However, sometimes it was difficult to achieve a balance between art and commerce, and more and more people were equating small costs with art films.
But in fact, this was the case, and some art films required a lot of investment, but too many people felt that they were losing too much and couldn’t bear it.
He turned it over a bit: “This show has special effects and many scenes. It can’t be a full-scene interior, and there are big scenes like explosions.” Zhu Xufang shook his head, “It is estimated to cost a lot of money.”
Lin Meng smiled: “Director Zhu, do you think I’m inferior?” With a calm expression, she looked like a spread of hands, and almost gave 10,000 people a critical hit.
Zhu Xufang couldn’t help but help: “Yes, you’re right.” He had known for a long time that their boss was a master of wealth.
To lose money and earn word of mouth, in the eyes of people with enough money, it was really a good deal.
“But Zhu Dao, I didn’t plan to let you shoot this movie.” Lin Meng said this and poked straight into Zhu Dao’s heart.
Zhu Xufang was unwilling: “Then you still show me this script, aren’t you stinging me?” Seeing the good script, he began to simulate the narrative rhythm in his mind. Whether to shoot the scene or start the conversation first, one frame at a time. Frames were even beginning to pass in his head.
“I wanted to ask you to be a joint producer, or an art director, to help you check. I have supplemented each of your works during this time. You may not be able to shoot such films.”
She did take the time to research. Zhu Xufang’s style was detail-oriented, and the rhythm was not slow. If she really wanted him to make such a one-two-episode drama. Lin Meng didn’t think it was appropriate.
After looking at Lin Meng for a while, Zhu Xufang nodded and admitted: “Ms. Lin, you are slowly becoming a mature producer now.”
Lin Meng just smiled: “He Dao, like Zhu Dao, the style is not suitable, so I would like to ask Zhu Dao and He Dao to help me see if there is any suitable person in the circle to recommend this project. It will start soon.”
He Fangming also nodded as he was not interested in the script.
Zhu Xufang stroked his chin thoughtfully: “I will think if there is any suitable director in the director I know.”
Sitting next to them was Chen Aiming, who touched the script and stared at Zhu Dao, but he did not attract Zhu Xufang’s attention at all.
…
Zhu Xufang stayed in the editing room for a long time. Recently, Zhuang Sisi and Gu Dong, who had released various variety shows, were called back to sing the theme song and ending song, so they left. As soon as the latter period ended, Lin Meng began to contact the directors of various film distributors.
The first one she found was Lemon TV.
Lemon TV had been the leader of domestic TV stations since more than a decade ago. Their ratings were always among the top of domestic TV stations, especially several TV drama theatres. As long as they could be used, the basic ratings would still be higher than the peak ratings of many other TV stations.
Dream Entertainment was now in front of the TV station, and it was still just a little ant. Lin Meng waited for a long time at the entrance of the Lemon TV office but couldn’t wait to meet the production director. Finally, a member of the other department came out to entertain her, and she was quite polite.
“Ms. Lin, you put the materials here first, and when our director comes back, I will give him the material.”
Lin Meng looked at the time and immediately got off work. It was estimated that she could not wait until she left the materials and contact information. For her late ticket, she had to fly to S city to contact the local production director of Dajiangtai. Dajiangtai in the country was called the third child but this third child was a lot worse than the boss and second child on the head. It broadcasted hookups with other families all the year round and rarely had the right of solo broadcast.
As for the second station, Lin Meng called and asked in advance. The other party’s share of film purchases this year was full. Only the position of the Anti-Japanese War drama could not be arranged in the urban drama, and Lin Meng regretfully declined.
On the one hand, this work was very hard, and on the other hand, it was easy to eat behind closed doors. Ning Qi was worried that Lin Meng couldn’t handle it. So, he intended to sneak over but was directly rejected by Lin Meng.
Due to the delay in time on the Lemon TV, Lin Meng landed in the evening, so she called in advance to make an appointment for the next afternoon. But the next afternoon, she was about to go out and received a letter from the production director of Lemon TV, Fang Jun.
“Hello, Ms. Lin, I’m really sorry, yesterday our colleagues didn’t tell you clearly. I just talked about a drama, and the next stage will be scheduled after the National Day next year. After all, the same type of drama cannot be gathered together. I wonder if you can wait till then?”
Lin Meng thought about it, she could still accept this statement, but this time was indeed too long. In addition, their drama was slated for the summer season. The promotion plan had been arranged, and it had started to warm up. She just talked with the company people, hung up the phone, and entered the gate of Dajiangtai.
“Director, we are not full this year, how can we talk about next year?” The clerk next to him was a little puzzled. “And there are no other companies to visit in the past two days.” How did he not know that the director talked about another drama?
Fang Jun laughed and said nothing.
Of course, he did not need to explain so much to a small clerk, how to measure the benefits, he did not have to teach.
Compared with the benefits promised by the other party, it was just that they did not allow Dream Entertainment’s TV series to be shown on this station. How difficult was this?
