This kind of plot interpretation method is completely different from the mainstream creative ideas of cold dramas that are currently popular in the country of coldness. In the winter of 2006, a groundbreaking new genre was launched.
More importantly, no other show can make you laugh and cry as many times as it does.
It is a cry that comes from the heart, just like the cry of seeing the tired figure of my mother when I was a child, the cry of my grandma missing my grandpa, the cry of separation from my best friend in childhood, the cry of the failure of my first love.
The audience will cry and laugh at the same time, as if they have had such a wonderful adolescence, and they seem to have lived a wonderful life in an instant.
The person who opened his mouth first said again: "While I was reading the script, I didn't think of any director from our country who could fully narrate this new form of drama. I wonder if Liu Qingshan has any suggestions?"
Liu Qingshan and Jin Xishan made a temporary decision that he would direct it personally and she would star. However, the two of them had not yet really implemented this matter. They originally planned to wait for the script to be released before making a decision. ap.
Therefore, Park Hye Jin was not aware of this form of cooperation during her previous negotiations with MCC.
So Jin Xishan couldn't wait for Liu Qingshan to say it, and couldn't help but reveal it first: "Shan Zi plans to direct it himself, and I will play Cheng Deshan in it, and I will play from young to middle age!"
As soon as she said what she said, everyone present was stunned, and the disbelief was clearly evident in their eyes.
But they didn't question it because of this, but were immediately stimulated by the ecstasy in their hearts.
Putting aside Liu Qingshan's directing ability, Jin Xishan's agreement to star in the drama has almost destined the market appeal of this series to become a big hit.
Moreover, her cross-age acting ability has actually been fully demonstrated in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which only aired six episodes.
The reason why Hanguo had a strong desire to introduce the drama on the day it was aired was because they attached great importance to Jin Xishan's role-playing gimmick. It was not just anyone who dared to take on this role from a young girl to an old man.
Moreover, Jin Xishan is currently the only one in the entire Hanguo market, with one hit film and television series and one album selling well in Europe and the United States.
It can be said that she is the most popular international star in the cold country market, and she is the kind without any added moisture.
Although her current main career development focus is on mainland China, not many people will make irresponsible remarks about this matter. After all, being a celebrity has been a luxury dream of Han people for many years.
Therefore, the nature of her existence has become more or less a kind of national pride. This is tolerance and preferential treatment that has never appeared in other industries in the Han Kingdom.
If she were to be associated with Liu Qingshan, the upcoming market craze could almost be predicted now.
It was this mentality that prompted Lee Yeon-hyun, who originally planned not to participate in the script until it was implemented, to finally speak out.
"Mr. Liu, is everything Xishan said true?"
There was inevitably a hint of nervousness in her tone, which caused a tremor in her tone.
Because she knew in her heart that if two people could appear together in this new drama, it was destined that the investment would no longer be a question of whether it could be recovered, but an absolutely wonderful market prospect with multiple profits.
Moreover, this drama does not need to worry about the issue of overseas introduction in the later stage. The golden sign of the two people joining forces has actually already destined to maximize the unlimited benefits.
In fact, she knew better how she got the script. She originally wanted to use this private relationship to promote the successful introduction of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to MCC. However, for some reason, Liu Qingshan's attitude was very strange. It seemed that they were more in love with "The Legend of Zhen Huan". SSB Company, the competitor who introduced this drama.
Of course she didn't know that Liu Qingshan knew that the original introduction party of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was originally SSB, and with the careful operation of this company, this first-ever Chinese drama introduction project was well received in the entire Hanguo market. Unprecedented popularity.
It's like he has been trying his best to ensure that in the original drama
While the actors retain their original taste, they also don’t want to have any bigger changes in other aspects.
Therefore, in order to express his apology to MCC, who has always been a happy partner, he decided to come up with a script to compensate.
But what even he didn't expect was that due to Jin Xishan's suggestion, the project would evolve to the current state and form.
However, due to her understanding of her own woman and her understanding of the market that cultivates her, it is still necessary to make a major change in the original plan of Xueyu Entertainment.
What's more, he has already gained an understanding of the practical feasibility of doing so from the reactions of these Hanguo guests.
So he smiled and said, "Sister Xishan's point of view is our common attitude, but there is a necessary premise that our future creations need the greatest say!"
Li Yunxian nodded in agreement without hesitation: "This is also my idea, and I think it will be approved smoothly within the board of directors!"
The only old man among the screenwriters who had not expressed his opinion suddenly asked an unexpected question.
"Mr. Liu, are you interested in playing the role of Cui Ze yourself?"
As soon as this person said his words, everyone was shocked, including Liu Qingshan and Jin Xishan.
Liu Qingshan was especially surprised because he knew the origin of the character Cui Ze in "Reply 1988".
In the original version, his prototype was Stone Buddha Lee Chang-ho, a great figure in the Go world who is currently very popular. Moreover, the screenwriter at the time may have loved this character so much that he gave him many other spiritual clues.
Therefore, the character in the play became the youngest world Go champion in 1988 at the age of 13.
The young Cui Ze in the original version was an actor who had a very bad attitude towards China in later generations. Liu Qingshan was extremely disgusted with him. This person will never be used in this version of the role.
It has to be said that the middle-aged image of this character is quite popular in the market, and he has won numerous awards for it. The other party suggested that he play the role, which really moved his heart.
But after second thoughts, he ruled out this setting: "What I want to create is the authentic real life of the Han generation, or restore the beautiful memories of that era. I, a foreigner, will not participate in it." ! If you think the script is feasible, I will free up the schedule in advance!"
But he expressed his position in the end: "But my script is not allowed to change a single word. This is the prerequisite for cooperation, otherwise there will be no discussion!"
Several senior screenwriters may have more prominent positions in the industry than famous directors in the cold country, but they cannot be said to be worthless in front of Liu Qingshan. That would be rude, but at least they have no scruples.
Sure enough, what he said caused the expressions of one or two of them to freeze instantly.
But in this regard, Jin Xishan has always provided unconditional support, so her subsequent explanation was equally unceremonious: "Shanzi's script is not allowed to be modified privately even in Hollywood. This is always the first priority in the cooperation contract." !」
There is no bluff in these remarks, but any individual or unit that has ever cooperated with him knows this very well.
Even if he is cooperating with Martin Scorsese, even if this clause does not appear in the relevant terms, Martin, who understands his temperament, will call him personally to discuss the matter.
You must know that the industry rules in Hollywood are different from those in Han and Hua. Their director class is the party with absolute power in every film and television project. Big-name directors sometimes do not even listen to the opinions of the capital side.
Will someone take advantage of him later? Sorry, behind them stands the Directors Guild. The only duty of the thousands of legal staff they usually have is to fight for the legal rights and interests of their directors.
Now that Jin Xishan has explained it like this, even if the screenwriters are uncomfortable with it, they will never dare to show it, because the entire Hanguo entertainment industry knows her character traits, which is to always be diligent and never hearsay.
As Li Yunxian, who considered himself an ally of Liu Qingshan's family, learned about Liu Qingshan's attitude and immediately expressed his opinion.
own point of view.
"I think that's it. Mr. Liu is also serious about striving for artistic excellence. This clause can be added to the contract!"
In fact, she does have a certain advantage of knowing everything. After all, she is the only one who knows her husband's secret background beyond his apparent identity, which is another blood relationship with Quark's father-in-law's family that is unknown to outsiders.
Of course, she would keep this secret buried deep in her subconscious forever. Even if she separated from her current husband one day, she would never have the courage to reveal it to the public.
Negotiating the remaining contract conditions is no longer something Liu Qingshan needs to worry about. Wang Jinghua and Park Hye-jin will come forward to help him strive for the best interests.
Three days later, the specific cooperation agreement was finally finalized after several rounds of negotiations. The biggest disagreement was of course the specific selection of actors.
Obviously, once this project is confirmed, it will create a huge wave of enthusiasm in the entertainment circle of the cold country, and the project itself is a veritable major production of the era, and it will inevitably be targeted by many capitals other than MCC. .
If Liu Qingshan is willing to give up more, MCC can use this to bargain with many capital tycoons, obtain more benefits from other cooperation projects, and capture the desire of many well-known actors.
But Liu Qingshan doesn't have many selfish thoughts in this regard. He just wants to copy the original drama as authentically as possible, so he bites the bullet and refuses to compromise.
As for remuneration, he was not as open as the lion, leaving a big hole for bargaining.
Under this premise, those professional negotiators who arrived later gradually realized that Liu Qingshan really did not take his personal interests into consideration, and only then the final contract was signed.
According to the agreement, this drama must be released before the Spring Festival, which means that preparations for the crew are imperative, and filming must start in late October.
Therefore, Jin Xishan, who was responsible for the preliminary preparations, returned to Han Country with Li Yunxian and his party.
Liu Qingshan had to rush over later because he had many things at hand.
