Rebirth of the Great Entertainment Empire

…

Beijing.

Haidian District.

Zaojun Temple.

Fuxiang Building opposite the headquarters building of DreamWorks Film and Television Company.

At this moment, the main members of the Haima Film and Television Creation Center Wang Shuo, Liu Yiran, Wu Bin, Wei Ren, Su Lei, Ma Weidu, Ge Xiaogang, Mo Yan, Zhu Xiaoping, Liu Heng, Liu Zhenyun, and the artist Feng Xiaogang of the Beijing TV Art Center are talking nonsense, While waiting for Xu Cun.

In 1988, Liu Yiran, Wu Bin, and Wang Shuo were revising the script in the guest house of the Beijing Film Studio. After dinner, they got together to talk about the mountains. After talking, they decided to set up a literary salon composed of like-minded young writers. The film and television creation group named "Hippocampus Film and Television Creation Center".

Subsequently, Wang Shuo, Wei Ren, Su Lei, Ge Xiaogang, Zhu Xiaoping, Ma Weidu, Liu Zhenyun, Mo Yan, Liu Heng, Hai Yan, etc. initiated the establishment of China's first non-governmental film and television creation organization, and raised the banner of "negotiating prices" to "according to quality". "Price" sells literary and artistic products, and its member list includes almost all important writers in the Chinese mainland literary world in the 1980s. It can be called the earliest screenwriters' union in China.

This group of people is indeed capable, and successively produced the two magical dramas "Desire" and "The Story of the Editorial Department", and left behind, "The whole country mourns Liu Huifang, the whole country scolds Wang Husheng, and everyone sighs Song Dacheng!" , and the pioneering work of Chinese sitcoms!

However--

It is true that these literati are talented, but they also have to face a very real problem - money!

Nowadays, the treatment of screenwriters in the mainland is really bad. The scripts they write are paid only after the scripts are broadcast, and they are only paid 300 yuan per episode.

As a result, the script of "The Story of the Editorial Department" has been written for more than two years, and these people have not yet raised production funds, and the earlier "Desire" has just shot the beginning, because there is no money And stopped.

Today, there are two themes of this meal - one is to talk about cooperation (in fact, it is to make friends with Xu Cun), and the other is that they want to meet the great god Xu Cun.

In China, literati have been a very special group since ancient times. They "establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations." They have no dignitaries in their eyes, at least on the surface.

Therefore, even though Xu Cun is rich and powerful, these people still talk about Xu Cun without hesitation:

"Xu Cun's level of directing movies is indeed good, but his literary skills are too mediocre. The ideas and creativity of the few novels he wrote are good, just to express... tsk tsk!"

"However, we have to obey Xu Cun's head. The "Jurassic Park" and "Harry Potter" he conceived are really unconstrained, which opened my eyes. I don't have his brain!"

"It's because we people don't know much. Xu Cun flies around the world. He sees a lot of novel things and contacts with many people, so he naturally has more inspiration. Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people. "

"..."

After a short time, Xu Cun worked with Gan Guoliang, the general manager of DreamWorks Film and Television Company, Zhao Baogang, Xu Cun's student, Zheng Xiaolong, the producer of "Desire" and "The Story of the Editorial Department", as well as Gong Li, Chen Hong, and Yang Gangli. , accompanied by Ma Yanli, came in from the door.

Gan Guoliang is the first student of the wireless training class. Before graduation, he has already started to work behind the scenes of the TV station. He can be regarded as the founder of TVB. TV and variety shows.

Until Fang Yihua took over TVB, because Gan Guoliang was too powerful and powerful in TVB, he naturally became a thorn in Fang Yihua's side. Later, Gan Guoliang simply jumped to Phoenix TV with Zhou Liangshuyi.

At the beginning of the year, Xu Cun founded DreamWorks Film and Television Company in the Mainland, and appointed Gan Guoliang as the general manager.

Speaking of it, Gan Guoliang is indeed very talented in management. In his last life, shortly after leaving TVB, Gan Guoliang was invited by Li Jiacheng to serve as the director of the Chinese TV station of Satellite TV, making the Chinese TV station of Satellite TV the number one channel covering many countries around the world. An international Chinese media. After making Satellite TV's Chinese channel bigger, Gan Guoliang became the president of the group and developed the TV business to non-Chinese-speaking countries in Asia. The programs of Satellite TV's Chinese channel once had high ratings in South Korea. Gan Guoliang still served as the manager of Satellite TV Chinese Channel until it was renamed Phoenix Satellite TV. It can be said that the origin of the Phoenix Satellite TV in the last life is the country laid down by Gan Guoliang.

In this life, before Li Jiacheng invited Gan Guoliang, Xu Cun promoted Gan Guoliang to the mainland to prepare for the establishment of DreamWorks Film and Television Company.

Zhao Baogang was the middleman for this meal, and the reason why Xu Cun agreed to have dinner with Wang Shuo and others was all for his sake.

Zheng Xiaolong, the producer of "Desire" and "The Story of the Editorial Department", was the promoter of this meal. He was about to be driven crazy by money, and he suggested that the director of "Desire" and "The Story of the Editorial Department" Cun made an appointment to go out for dinner, in fact, he wanted Xu Cun to invest in them, so that they could shoot "Longing" and "Story of the Editorial Department".

Gong Li, Chen Hong, Yang Gangli, and Ma Yanli came out to play with Xu Cun today.

Hearing Wang Shuo and others talking about him, Xu Cun took the initiative to laugh and said, "If you don't talk about people behind your back, you're being out of touch."

Seeing Xu Cun coming in, Wang Shuo and others laughed and said:

"Who doesn't tell people behind their backs, who doesn't talk behind their backs?"

"That's right, that's... yo, there are beauties, or four big beauties..."

"Don't look around, you kid. From the positions and eyes of these four beauties, I'm sure they are all Mr. Xu's confidante!"

"..."

After talking and laughing, the host and guest sat down.

In just a few words, Wang Shuo and others could tell that Xu Cun was a man of no pretensions, and he was much cuter than those Hong Kong businessmen whose eyes grew to the top of their heads they had met before!

And Xu Cun is also willing to get acquainted with famous writers such as Wang Shuo and screenwriters, Ma Weidu, a famous collector, Mo Yan, a Nobel Prize winner in literature, and Feng Xiaogang, a famous director, and other celebrities from the previous life.

In addition, Zhao Baogang, Xu Cun's student and the head director of the Haima Film and Television Creation Center, went through the needle.

The two sides had a very good start, and soon became hot...

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zheng Xiaolong gave Zhao Baogang a wink, indicating that Zhao Baogang should get down to business.

Zhao Baogang knew that Xu Cun was very willing to support others in film and television, and he was very nostalgic.

And this two opportunities to direct "Desire" and "Story of the Editorial Department" are extremely rare for Zhao Baogang!

So, upon seeing the wink from Zheng Xiaolong, Zhao Baogang said: "Mr. Xu, we have two notebooks in Haima, please show me, okay..."
