The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 211 Zheng Xiaolong's Olive Branch

Still at the Jinjiang Hotel, other directors went to be interviewed and talked about their views on the China TV Drama Directors Association and their development plans.

On the other floor of the hotel, Li Shengyao and Zheng Xiaolong sat facing each other. On the table between them, there were tea and three stacks of small snacks.

Zheng Xiaolong's skin is quite fair, his hair is straight and meticulous, his face is clean, and his clothes are of ordinary style, also clean and new, with almost no wrinkles.

This is a person who is very focused on life and work and pays attention to details.

Li Shengyao had seen a lot of Zheng Xiaolong's plays in his previous life, and he still respects this big guy.

"Director Li, thank you for saving face. Try this tea. I heard it's very good."

When Li Shengyao was observing Zheng Xiaolong, he was also observing Li Shengyao. Sitting between Zhang Guoli and Chen Jialin just now, Li Shengyao was very calm.

But at this time, sitting alone face to face with him, she was still very calm.

He doesn't look like the most profitable TV drama director in the Mainland, but rather an ordinary young man.

Peace of mind, calm.

For a well-developed young man, it is too rare.

"Director Li, why don't you want to follow Zhang Guoli and Chen Jialin to Yanjing?"

Zheng Xiaolong was the first to talk.

Li Shengyao smiled, he felt that Lao Zheng understood the important relationship.

There is nothing to hide about this matter, but naturally he would not say it directly, but instead asked: "Director Zheng was not very interested just now, why?"

Little Fox.

Zheng Xiaolong chuckled, "I think the same as you."

In order to express his closeness, he went on to say: "There is no problem with the establishment of the TV Drama Directors Association, but the subsequent commendation meeting will not work."

"Almost all the best TV drama directors from the mainland have come here today. The actors will definitely show face. This commendation conference is held grandly. Isn't it the Golden Eagle Award or the Magnolia?"

"Where does the mainland need so many TV drama awards?"

The Golden Eagle Award is located in southern Hunan, while the Magnolia is located in Shanghai.

The broadcasting and television aspects of these two awards have the right to participate and make decisions.

The distribution of benefits is naturally very large. Now that directors want to avoid radio and television, they will definitely not get support.

In fact, even if they get the support of Radio and Television, Shonan and Shanghai City will not agree. Whether they can succeed or not is another matter.

Li Shengyao smiled, raised his teacup, and nodded, "I agree."

Zheng Xiaolong breathed a sigh of relief. So far, Li Shengyao's attitude is not bad. Although the three words just now are short, it means that the two people have the same idea and can continue to talk.

"Director Li, I invite you here this time because I want to ask you a question."

"You said."

"Do you really hate Hua Yi?"

Zheng Xiaolong is from the Beijing circle, and Huayi and Wang are also from the Beijing circle. The relationship between the two parties is completely understandable.

Hearing this, Li Shengyao chuckled and shook his head, "I can't say I hate it, and I can't say I like it either."

Zheng Xiaolong was still puzzled.

Li Shengyao secretly laughed in his heart, this is the arrogance of the Beijing circle.

They think that if they offer an olive branch, others will definitely follow it. If they don't, they will either be friends or enemies.

Such a concept is too narrow.

"Director Zheng, there are a lot of cooperation projects with Fenghua Film and Television Company. In addition to TVB, in addition to Three David TV, there is also Pocun TV Station, and "Pink Girl", other film and television companies, have I taken a second look?"

"It's not that I hate Huayi. Huayi is very successful in the film industry, but in my eyes, it's similar to ordinary film and television companies. They don't have anything I'm interested in. Naturally, I won't cooperate with them."

"Think about it, is that the truth?"

"I never targeted them, I never disparaged them, I just declined their invitation to collaborate."

"I can't have a woman stalking me, so I have to agree to associate with her. If I don't agree, then I discriminate against her and be hostile to her?"

"If you want to cooperate, then come up with the content, or the resources I want. This is the attitude of cooperation."

Zheng Xiaolong paused upon hearing this.

Regarding the matter of Huayi and Fenghua, he only listened to Huayi's side, and thought that Li Shengyao didn't like Huayi. Now it seems that Li Shengyao was right.

If you don't have anything that others are interested in, why should they cooperate with you?
"So that's the case, I misunderstood before, sorry, sorry."

"It's okay, just talk about it."

Li Shengyao smiled, his eyes were open and his expression was natural.

Zheng Xiaolong felt that Li Shengyao's attitude towards him was not bad, and he was also a little happy in his heart.

This young director Li is not interested in Xiao Wang, but he is like this director. It seems that his reputation is much better than Xiao Wang.

"Director Li, why did you invest in "Pink Girl"?"

He planned to learn more about Li Shengyao's preferences, maybe the two of them could cooperate in the future.

"I prefer TV dramas that can be exported and earn foreign exchange. I think "Pink Girl" has this potential."

"Pink Girl" has two handsome guys, Chen Kun and Hu Bing. The plot is light and humorous, and Lee Sing Yew thinks there is hope for it.

Zheng Xiaolong nodded upon hearing this.

This is in line with the style of Fenghua Film and Television's TV series.

"Can "Youth Bao Qingtian" be exported?"

"It's more difficult. Bao Qingtian is our historical figure, and foreigners don't know much about it."

"Youth Bao Qingtian 12" is a TV series supervised by Zheng Xiaolong, he nodded, and then said: "It's okay, I understand, how can foreigners understand our costume dramas."

More than ten years later, fairy puppet shows in the mainland became popular in Southeast Asia.

There are two main reasons. One is that China was strong enough at that time, and people took the initiative to learn and accept our culture.

The second is that Xian Puppet is actually an idol drama dressed as a fairy, with a simple plot and relatively easy to understand.

At this stage, it is very difficult to export costume dramas.

"Huan Zhu Ge Ge 12" was really an accident, and the third part will not work.

Zheng Xiaolong thought for a while, and then said, "I'm preparing a criminal investigation drama recently, are you interested in investing?"

It is impossible for Zheng Xiaolong, a big player in the industry, to be short of investment. He said this just to give Li Shengyao face.

However, in Li Shengyao's memory, apart from "Youth Bao Qingtian 12", none of the dramas produced by Zheng Xiaolong is very famous.

There is a high probability that this show will not make money.

Although Li Shengyao wanted to give him face, he would not let himself lose money.

"Director Zheng, let's talk about it later, I don't like criminal investigation dramas very much."

Criminal investigation dramas are on the rise now, needless to say Lee Sheng Yew's "Signal", the previous "Serious Cases Group Six" is very popular.

Zheng Xiaolong felt that the drama that would definitely make money flew with Li Shengyao, but he did not expect Li Shengyao to reject it.

"Director Li..."

He was puzzled, why did Li Shengyao refuse?
Li Shengyao said with a smile: "Director Zheng, I really don't like criminal investigation dramas now, let's cooperate in the future."

This is a matter of principle, do not invest in dramas that lose money.

When Zheng Xiaolong was filming "The Legend of Zhen Huan", if he wanted someone to invest in, he would be the first one to go there.
