At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 159 "Dialogue" (34)

"Dialogue" program is a CCTV talk program.

Each episode will feature some famous...

It is a relatively high-end talk show!
Shen Xudong was a little surprised that such a program actually sent him an invitation?
He's not Han Han, and he didn't cause a phenomenal following...

It's not a popular figure, is it?

However, Shen Haobo had already picked it up for him, and Shen Xudong himself agreed.

They sell books anyway!
In the car, Shen Xudong asked suspiciously: "The point is, I don't think there is anything worth discussing about me!"

""Dragon Ba Bu" is on the air, you are one of the screenwriters, and you have taken on the screenplay of "The Legend of Condor Heroes". You are only 20 years old this year, a sophomore in Chinese opera...do you think it is normal?"

"...I'm a bit talented, but there are so many talented people in China, isn't this stuff worth discussing?"

Shen Haobo smiled: "You have to know that martial arts novels were called scourges in the past, but you became famous because of martial arts, and you have a lot of book fans and fans... Everyone is very curious about you!"

"Martial arts novels... okay."

Shen Xudong probably understood...

For a period of time, martial arts novels were really called out by everyone, and they were listed alongside romance novels, and were called poisonous weeds by teachers and parents...

It is true that Jin Yong's novels and Qiong Yao's novels were bombarded by famous writers and literary critics as "opium and prostitutes" in "Guangming Daily", which triggered a great discussion on literature.

At that time, the martial arts novels represented by Jin Yong and the romance novels represented by Qiong Yao became the scourge of orthodox education...

Just like a bunch of people are now heartbroken that 'online games will ruin a generation'!

"I heard that CCTV is very interested in you... It seems that they have intentionally filmed your "Golden Branch Desire"?"

"That's not a system. "Dialogue" is a CCTV 2 program, and the one I want to cooperate with is the CCTV drama company..."

"Anyway, I must know you..."

……

The "Dialogue" program was recorded in the CCTV studio.

In the early years, our programs did not have many live audiences, about fifty or so, and there was no trust, and most of them signed up by themselves...

The same goes for The Conversation...

The host is Lu Yiming.

Shen Xudong is not a representative of rebellion, he doesn't need someone like an education expert, and he doesn't need to find another positive teaching material...

Played directly.

"Friends from the audience, hello everyone, welcome to "Dialogue", I am the host Lu Yiming..."

"As you may have noticed, we have a few books on the podium...

Two volumes of "No. 50 in the World", three volumes of "Zhu Xian", and one called "Supplementary Records"... What about these books? They are all from the same author, Shen Xudong, and each of his books has sold more than 50 copies... "Supplements of Relics" has just been released for a month, so the sales volume has not exceeded 40, but, as far as I know, the first edition has printed [-] copies! "

"The editors of our column group have been to the bookstore for on-the-spot investigation, and most of the people who buy his books are high school students and college students..."

"Shen Xudong is already one of the representative writers born in the 80s. Many people call him the top three writers born in the 80s along with Han Han and Guo Jingming, but he himself said that his main job is screenwriting!"

"Let's get to know him through the VCR first!"

Then the VCR played, Shen Xudong saw this VCR for the first time, and was surprised to find that his high school teacher appeared on the scene.

Probably just chatted about Shen Xudong's high school life, and his experience of applying for the Chinese opera exam, by the way, and the teacher appeared on the scene...

"The purpose of our Chinese opera school is actually to train masters. Xudong is talented and has a keen sense of life. This is a necessary condition for becoming a master. Therefore, I forced him to write a drama script, and he completed it very much. outstanding…"

Then there is the publisher Shen Haobo: "I decided to publish after reading the serial version of "No. "Dragon Babu"..."

At this point, the VCR ended in good time, Lu Yiming smiled and said: "We are honored to invite him to our show, and Shen Xudong is welcome for applause!"

……

"Hi Xudong..."

"Hello host!"

Shen Xudong wore a camel coat, black pants, a turtleneck sweater, and a pair of yellow boots...

Still the same sentence, his aesthetic itself is online, and it is also in public, so of course he needs to dress up carefully.

Lu Yiming looked at him, and was a little surprised: "Your hair has always been short?"

"…Yes."

"Why don't you have long hair? I remember that Han Han and Guo Jingming both have long hair..."

"I don't know, I haven't met them, I think short hair is easy to wash, every morning when I wash my face, I wash it by the way, and it's easy to dry... I live in a school dormitory, and I can't use a hair dryer or other high-power Appliances..."

"...Then are you mentally prepared for the fact that you appear on TV?"

"...A little bit, after all, I'm a student of Chinese opera!"

"How did you think of taking the exam? And it's not an acting class?"

"...I used to think that screenwriters were more prestigious. Look at the famous dramas left over from our history, such as the four famous dramas, Guan Hanqing's "The Injustice of Dou E", Wang Shifu's "The Story of the West Chamber", Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion" and Hong Sheng's " "Palace of Eternal Life", you won't remember who played it, but you do know who wrote it!"

"now what?"

Shen Xudong smiled: "Now... I know a little about the preparation process of film and television dramas, it's not the same as I thought..."

"Different?"

"...No matter what series you make, you need money. Whoever can get the money is the biggest name in the crew..."

"Our film and television production is still in the extensive stage..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "Hollywood is the same. Film and television projects are all about money. This is a universal truth. When Li Lian went to Hollywood to film "Lethal Weapon 4", the entire crew listened to Mel Gibson!"

"how do you know?"

"...I have done a program and investigated a lot of information. I have learned about Hollywood movies, Hong Kong movies, including European movies..."

"really?"

"Of course, you like "Lethal Weapon" was sold by Mel Gibson, and it was filmed until the fifth film... Don't think that Hollywood must be formal, professional, and streamlined...Hollywood production is graded. You are like "Lethal Weapon" It's a B-movie..."

"A B-movie?"

"It's a movie with a very low budget...The scale is usually relatively large, blood, violence...Most of Li Lian's movies in Hollywood are B-movies...So, the box office is not high, but the disc business is booming, for example, "Fatal Romeo" ", the box office is only over 2000 million US dollars, but the DVD rental income is close to 4000 million US dollars...so, his salary has risen to 1000 million US dollars!"

"Is there such a thing?"

"Well...so, in those crews, Li Lianlian is the big name, investors, directors and staff all rely on him to make money..."

Lu Yiming felt that the topic was a bit off topic, he should talk about "Tianlong"...

But in fact, the audience listened with gusto...

"Let's talk about "Tian Long Ba Bu". I heard that Zhang Jizhong called you specifically to invite you to be the screenwriter?"

"Actually, it was introduced by my teacher...Before, I had a column in "BJ Youth" magazine called "Words of the Rivers and Lakes". Recognition, it just so happened that Mr. Zhang Jizhong was looking for a screenwriter, and then he introduced us to each other..." /4/
