This star is too fierce

Chapter 367, I give you the pen, you write it!

Yanjing, the fierce general studio building.

Lu Bu and "Legend of Chu and Han" only reached a cooperation intention, and the specific salary and script were not discussed.

This time, the director Gao Xixi, the screenwriter Wang Hailin, and the lead actor Chen Daomin came here to save face.

In Lu Bu's office, after a while of courteous conversation, several people sat around the coffee table, drinking tea and talking about business.

Gao Xixi is barely a famous director, and the ratings of "The Sky of History", "Happiness is Like a Flower", and "Sweet Honey" are pretty good.

Wang Hailin is also barely considered a screenwriter, and his masterpieces include "Iron Teeth Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan 3", "Lu Bu and Diao Chan", and "The Little Master of China".

Chen Daomin is a real bigwig in the entertainment industry, he has won various awards and has various titles on his head.

"As for the salary, we offer Mr. Lu the same as Mr. Chen's, 30 per episode, what do you think?" Gao Xixi didn't say too much.

Low is definitely low.

This drama is expected to shoot 80 episodes. The role of Xiang Yu is calculated based on 40 episodes, which is 1200 million. If this price is offered before the Spring Festival, it is not bad.

However, after Lu Bu appeared in the Spring Festival Gala, whether it is a movie or a TV series, the starting price has reached 2000 million.

The purpose of the other party moving out Chen Daomin is also obvious, it is to block his way to increase the price, no matter how big your wrist is, can you beat Chen Daomin?Giving you the same salary as Chen Daomin is the best.

But when it comes to the ability to handle the ratings, or the ability to handle the box office, Chen Daomin is far behind him. This is an indisputable fact, so the calculation of the salary should not only depend on the size of the wrist.

However, Lu Bu was not in a hurry to discuss the film salary, but said: "In the past few days, I have finished reading the script that Director Gao passed on to me. As far as the current story is concerned, there is a lot of room for improvement. I am quite straightforward, and I hope everyone will forgive me. "

Although his words were tactful, the implication was that "the script is not good", which also made Wang Hailin lose face, and said in a deep voice, "I don't know, what's your opinion?"

Lv Bu said bluntly, "Why does a successful historical drama finally win the audience? Some people say it relies on rethinking the concept of history, while others say it relies on reinterpreting historical figures. I personally think that a For a successful historical drama, the correct view of history is like the backbone, and the shaping of the characters is the icing on the cake."

Chen Daomin squinted his eyes and said, "You mean, the plot has been adapted too much, without respecting history?"

While refilling their tea, Lu Bu said, "Film and TV dramas are made for entertainment and leisure, not documentaries. It's normal to have adaptations. For example, the "Mythology" I played has elements of immortality, but all The adaptations are all around the theme 'myth' and the historical context is correct."

Seeing that Wang Hailin seemed to be losing his temper, Gao Xixi hurriedly interjected and said, "Then, if there are any mistakes in our script, I would like to ask Mr. Lu to correct me."

Lu Bu organized the language and said: "For example, 'Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are in an uprising', when reporting to Emperor Qin II, they actually directly said 'Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are in an uprising', I would like to ask everyone, the word 'uprising' is used in Is it suitable here? It must be something like 'rebellion', right?"

"Another example is the "Three Character Classic". This book was written by Wang Yinglin in the Southern Song Dynasty. After the Republic of China, someone continued to write it, and then formed the current version. In the school at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the teacher led the students to recite the "Three Character Classic" ", isn't it a little too advanced?"

"Another example is 'Fengtian Chengyun, the emperor's edict', the eight characters that often appear in film and television dramas, as long as the emperor promulgates the imperial decree, it will start like this. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. In fact, these eight characters are after the Ming Dynasty. The saying just appeared, and the imperial decree is not only "Zhaoyue", there are three other specifications, namely Zhiyue, Zhaoyue, and Chiyue. In addition, sentence punctuation is also a common problem. The correct one should be "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhaoyue '."

All of this is a common sense error.

Wang Hailin's anger was suppressed abruptly, but the flushed face remained.

Gao Xixi was shocked, not because of these mistakes, but because of Lu Bu's careful reading of the script.

Chen Daomin's squinted eyes widened slightly, and he had a feeling of looking at Lu Bu differently.

"There are still a lot of things that shouldn't appear in the end of Qin Dynasty, such as paper and potatoes, so I won't talk about that." Lu Bu continued to output, saying: "Let me talk about the plot. The first question is that the story of Qin Dynasty is too long. Chang, what is the meaning of the role of Princess Chenxi? I ​​even wrote a soul-stirring love story for her, almost comparable to Yu Ji and Xiang Yu, Lu Zhi and Liu Bang. After Hu Hai came to the throne, he killed all his brothers and sisters. Then, is this Princess Chenxi Hu Hai's niece or sister? I feel that the 'water injection' is too heavy and deviates from the theme of 'Chu Han'."

Gao Xixi opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

The role of Princess Chenxi was actually prepared for the investors.

It's a helpless move for them to add drama like this.

Wang Hailin was even more speechless, and didn't know how to refute.

The script he created was originally called "Liu Bang Biography", and the content and length were less than 80 episodes. After being spotted, he changed its name to "Legend of Chu and Han" and started it in a hurry.

And because Yu Hewei, Yu Bin and other actors in the story of the Qin Dynasty had worked with Gao Xixi many times and got along better, he played a clever trick and magnified the story of the Qin Dynasty in the original script.

Chen Daomin asked with interest: "Is there any more?"

Lu Bu continued: "The second problem is that the reversal of historical facts is too much, especially the plot of the last [-] episodes, which vividly turns the historical drama into a court battle drama. Take the climax part, Liu Bang's three wives The court battle developed to the front line of the Chu-Han War, and the court drama battle at this time completely crushed the Chu-Han War between Liu Bang and Xiang Yu."

"In the script, when Chu and Han were in a stalemate in Guangwu, Liu Bang's concubine, Madam Qi, ran to the front line with Ruyi in her arms to fight for the position of son. But in history, Liu Bang retreated to Guanzhong after the defeat of Pengcheng and established a child born to Empress Lu. Liu Ying is the crown prince, and Mrs. Qi will fight for the position of crown prince with Ruyi after Liu Bangjian Han."

"Besides, the dramatic changes in history and the court battle drama were not exciting enough. Then there was another spy war, and Liu Bang's little Lu Wan pretended to surrender to Xiang Yu as an undercover agent. It was a good time to have fun with Infernal Affairs."

This wave of output was a critical hit, and Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Last year, the news of the remake of the four major masterpieces was flying all over the sky, attracting the attention of countless investors. They also wanted a piece of the big drama market, so there was this hastily completed "Legend of Chu and Han" script.

I never thought that there are so many unreasonable plots in it.

Chen Daomin was amazed at Lv Bu's deep reserve of historical knowledge.

When filming "Mythology", it was reported that Lu Bu was the historical consultant of the film. Many people, including him, thought it was just a means of marketing hype by the crew, but now it seems that it is not.

He waited for Lu Bu to take a sip of tea, and then asked, "No more?"

Lv Bu saw that it was almost done, and finally concluded: "The most exciting things in the history of the Chu-Han War are strategy, wits, Liu Bang's counterattack, Xiang Yu's God of War, and most of the plot is about love and romance. Important events such as darkening Chen Cang, Pengcheng's siege, Xiayi's painting strategy, Han Xin's destruction of the kingdoms, etc. are almost covered in one scene, and the most critical Jingxing's backwater battle is brought over in a single narration, and then all kinds of conspiracy theories made up are logically unreasonable. "

"I think everyone also knows that no matter what type of film it is, since it is based on real history, the audience will definitely take it seriously. How much do you know about this period of history, have you done your homework, have you made any mistakes? No artistic processing is overdone. It is not that the audience is picky on this point. For example, when I went to the school cafeteria to order a fried duck neck noodle, the result was a rat head fried noodle. It's not right."

"Of course, this is just my humble opinion. If you offend me, please don't take it to heart."

Wang Hailin really wanted to say, 'I'll give you the pen, and you write it', but the problem was that Lu Bu couldn't find fault with what he said.

Gao Xixi's eyes are shining at this moment, as if seeing a baby.

Chen Daomin stared at Lu Bu intently, and became very interested in this young man.

He has his own opinion on idol actors who have been criticized for being empty-handed.

What he focuses on is not how much money they can get. Millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions are fine, but whether you have done something of equal value with so much money and whether you are worthy of the audience.

And the problem is not that they are young or their appearance, but that they do not have a correct career outlook.

Every now and then, I get scratched, I got hurt, I was in cold water in winter, and I wore a padded jacket in summer. These insignificant things were all in the news, and even became the credit of an actor.

That's your job, and you're suffering because you took the money.

The reason why Chen Daomin was willing to let go of his appearance and come to meet Lu Bu with Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin was because he heard that Lu Bu was different from other idol stars. Not only was he outstanding in appearance, he also had a correct professional outlook, and the key was his acting skills.

We chatted for a while today, at least when it comes to the script, we are very serious.

In today's showbiz, some actors become famous and immediately drift away. Don't mention reading the script by themselves, when they are on the set, they always ask their agents or assistants to do the acting.

Lu Bu has given him enough favor based on this alone.

Seeing that Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin were silent, Chen Daomin took the lead and said, "Director Gao, Wang Bian, haven't you been looking for a suitable historical consultant? It's so far away and so close."

Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin looked at each other in blank dismay.

Are we looking for the right historical consultant?

How did we not know about this...

This is a step given by Chen Daomin, blaming the mistakes in the script on the failure to find a historical consultant.

Gao Xixi quickly reacted and said, "Yes, yes, I wonder if Mr. Lu is willing to take up this position?"

Lu Bu glanced at Wang Hailin, he said that the script he wrote was worthless, it was impossible not to be angry, and if he intervened in the modification of the script, then the problem would be broken.

But just as he was about to refuse, Wang Hailin said first: "Since there is no such famous novel as "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to describe the story of the struggle for hegemony between Chu and Han at the end of the Qin Dynasty, we can only refer to it such as "Historical Records", "Hanshu", "Zizhitong" Jian" and other historical books, but these three books are recorded in classical Chinese, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and even if they can understand it, it is difficult to continue reading..."

Lu Bu heard the words, and said: "I know some details in this period of history, even those that have not been recorded in official history and unofficial history. Although there are not many, it may help you two find inspiration."

Chen Daomin, Gao Xixi, and Wang Hailin all had question marks on their faces.

There is no record, where did you hear it from?
Wouldn't it be based on imagination?
However, when Lu Bu explained some secrets, the three of them were stunned.

It's not an exaggeration at all, it's more exciting than movies and TV shows.

And it's not random speculation, it's logical.

As Lu Bu just said, these little-known secrets have brought a lot of inspiration to Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin.

Lu Bu's third pot of tea had already been emptied, and he looked out the window, seeing that the sun had set, and he said immediately, "Mr. Chen, Director Gao, Editor Wang, it's getting late, let's find a place to chat while eating? "

When the three of them heard this, they raised their heads together, only to realize that it was so late.

Lu Bu is the host, the old place, the original ecological hot pot restaurant in Shu.

Hot pot is a carnival for a group of people, or it can be a carnival for one person, and you will never get tired of eating it.

Why are Sichuan hot pot and Chongqing hot pot so popular all over the country?Because the taste of hot pot can bring people a sense of enjoyment, it can stimulate your stomach and heart, and you will have a hearty feeling when eating hot pot, which cannot be brought by other foods.

"This 'Country Chicken, Duck, and Goose Platter' in your store, wow... Although the meat is relatively thick and old, it tastes pure and delicious, and there is basically no fishy smell. It is my favorite dish. It is a must every time I come. It’s just a matter of luck, many times it’s not offered, or it’s sold out late.” Gao Xixi ate a piece of delicious foie gras and said with a full face of enjoyment.

"Is this hotpot restaurant yours?" Chen Daomin asked in surprise.

"It was invested by me and a few friends." Lu Bu explained.

"The taste and service are the best among the hot pot restaurants I have been to, bar none." Wang Hailin also frequents.

Today Lu Bu is here, and the country chicken, duck and goose platter is naturally enough.

When they came to the dinner table, they continued the topic of the script.

Lu Bu talked a lot until midnight.

And he saw every bit of stitches and settled some things.

First, the salary has been increased to 60 for a single episode, on the condition that he will serve as a historical consultant and assistant martial arts instructor;
Second, Zhang Jin was given martial arts guidance. The combination of the two has proved their strength more than once, and their reputation in the film and television circles has been resounding. Apart from being expensive, there are no other shortcomings;
Third, Concubine Yu finalizes the role of Gao Yuanyuan;

Fourth, the costumes of the main characters are designed and produced by Splendid Hanfu.

"Mr. Chen, what do you think of this young man?"

"Delicate but not boring, calm but not arrogant, with maturity, talent and experience far beyond her age."

"The future must be a character."

In the car, Chen Daomin, Gao Xixi, and Wang Hailin chatted about Lu Bu again, and the overall evaluation was very high.

however……

Gao Xixi is a bit painful.

Because the script needs to be changed, the total number of episodes will be reduced to 64 episodes, the story of Qin Dynasty will be reduced, and the roles of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu will be increased.

One-tenth of the 2.4 million budget was lost all of a sudden.

Wang Hailin's anger from the beginning has now turned into joy.

After talking with Lu Bu, the revision direction of the script has been determined, and Lu Bu will provide some important events in the form of text later, and the details of the script will also be supplemented.

He has prepared this script for more than three years and put in a lot of hard work. He definitely hopes to have a good harvest of ratings and word-of-mouth.

Chen Daomin also hopes that the script will become better. It has been his long-cherished wish for many years to play the role of Liu Bang, a commoner emperor.

Gao Xixi and Wang Hailin gave him a chance, but Lu Bu gave him a surprise.

The history of Chu and Han is no less exciting than the Three Kingdoms, and it can even be said to be even worse. Of course, he wants this drama to become a classic like the CCTV version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Shichahai, a large courtyard house.

After Lu Bu went around and got rid of the paparazzi, it was already late at night.

"Who? Is it Sister Yu?" Gao Yuanyuan on the bed was dazzled by the light, and couldn't see the person who opened the door clearly.

"It's me." Lu Bu rushed towards her, almost shaking the bed to pieces.

"Oh, what are you doing?" Gao Yuanyuan was startled, and raised his hand to hit him.

"What are you talking about?" Lu Bu kissed him.

"Wait, you smell like hot pot, go take a shower first." Gao Yuanyuan resisted his attack with both hands.

"Okay, I'll clean you up later." Lu Bu got up and went to the bathroom.

The Big Siheyuan is the only secret base he has left in Yanjing. In order not to be exposed, Yu Feihong and the others usually don’t come here, because they don’t have good anti-investigation capabilities, and they can’t get rid of those paparazzi. If they want to come, he will go bring it here.

Gao Yuanyuan has been living here since filming the MV, without even leaving the house.

She has long been used to this kind of house life, where she eats, drinks and plays, and has a yard to bask in the sun, so don't be too comfortable.

"Wait, talk to me first." Lu Bu came back from the shower, Gao Yuanyuan interrupted him again.

"Let's finish it first." Lu Bu raised his eyebrows.

"No, you..." Gao Yuanyuan felt dizzy on his cheeks, and said, "It's almost dawn."

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Lu Bu hugged her into his arms.

"How are you talking with the people from "Legend of Chu and Han"?" Gao Yuanyuan asked.

"It's not too bad, but the script needs to be greatly changed, and the start-up time is estimated to be delayed by a few months." Lu Bu replied.

"You asked me to change it?" Gao Yuanyuan asked curiously.

"I'm familiar with this period of history. If I see something wrong, I must say it." Lu Bu replied.

"That's right, "Mythology" has proved that you are right about the rigor of history." Gao Yuanyuan praised.

"It can be adapted, but it can't be too outrageous." Lu Bu laughed.

"In this way, wouldn't I have to rest for several months again?" Gao Yuanyuan sighed.

"Brother Luo gave me a script a while ago. It's an idol drama. If you want to act, I can accompany you. It is estimated that the filming will be finished in two or three months." Lu Bu is going to spoil his wife to the end. After filming "Full House", idol dramas are not so contradictory anymore.

"Really?" Gao Yuanyuan's beautiful eyes flashed.

"Have I ever lied to you?" Lu Bu pinched her nose.

"Then I want to act." Gao Yuanyuan said without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll call Brother Luo tomorrow." Lu Bu said with a smile.

Gao Yuanyuan was in a good mood, and immediately got into the blanket covering them.

Next comes the blocked content.

But in the end, it didn't reach dawn as Gao Yuanyuan said, after all, she was alone and couldn't bear it.
