Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 113 Selling the script for million
Teng Huatao is the son of the fourth-generation director Teng Wenji.

It doesn’t matter if you have no idea about the number of generations of directors, just remember that Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige are the fifth generation.

Old Ling's grandfather, Mr. Ling, under whom both Chen and Zhang had worked, is a third-generation director.

Teng Huatao's mother is the screenwriter Weng Luming. The science fiction film "霹雳贝贝" that is remembered by the post-80s generation is her work.

Teng Wenji also has a neighbor, Feng Xiaogang, and the two often interact with each other.

As a result, Teng Huatao also frequently interacted with Feng Xiaogang.

Teng Huatao's agency, like Feng Xiaogang's, is naturally within Huayi Brothers.

But just like Feng Xiaogang, the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, not affiliated.

There is still some difference between him and ordinary artists.

Like Qi Hui, Teng Huatao also graduated from Beijing Film Academy. The difference is that one is in the Department of Literature and the other is in the Department of Performance.

When he was still in college, Teng Huatao interned in his father's crew.

With practice + theory + his father's teachings, he directly transformed from the literature department to a TV drama director after graduating in the 90s.

And those students majoring in directing are still struggling as assistants.

Later, the TV series "An Apartment" made him completely famous and gained both fame and fortune.

Not only that, taking advantage of the expansion of the film market and the increased investment in film directors, Teng Huatao also received a 200 million investment from the "China Film Young Director Program" to make a movie.

Later, it was the 40 million for "The Devil in My Heart".

Later, there was the 400 million yuan for "Shanghai Fortress".

It’s true... Without some background, you can’t make it in the entertainment industry!

Qi Hui recalled Teng Huatao's background in his mind and drank his coffee silently.

In fact, the dramas shot by Teng Huatao are not very good, most of them are long passages of narration.

The plot is advanced entirely by the narration.

This is understandable in TV dramas, but it is a taboo on the big screen like movies.

The former is free, just change the channel if you don’t want to listen.

But the latter requires spending real money to go to the cinema.

The narration is read at every turn, and the audience does not start with your mother, but uses blood relationship as a bond to greet everyone. This is considered good quality.

Qi Hui had some doubts about his ability, but in the movie "Love Is Not Blind", Qi Hui could not fail.

Playing it safe is undoubtedly the best option.

At this moment, the glass door opened and a fat man with a round face walked in... Actually, it wasn't a round face.

But he has too much fat on his face, which makes it round.

Teng Huatao and Qi Hui met at the Magnolia Awards Ceremony.

He won the Best Director Award at that time.

In comparison, Qi Hui's Most Promising Actor Award is not worth mentioning at all.

"Hello, Director Teng!" Qi Hui quickly stood up to greet him, with a bright smile on his face and full of enthusiasm.

"Hello, Qi Hui." Teng Huatao smiled reservedly, without showing his teeth.

Qi Hui's warm welcome made him feel like he was in spring breeze. This kid is good and knows how to deal with things.

He looked at Qi Hui. Although he was half a head shorter than him, it did not prevent him from examining Qi Hui.

He had seen many good-looking actors, and although Qi Hui was good-looking, he was not that surprised.

"The last time I saw Director Teng was at the Magnolia Awards ceremony." Qi Hui smiled and started chatting, "Director Teng's demeanor is truly unforgettable."

"To win the Best Director award amidst so many excellent TV series like 'Lush' and 'My Captain, My Regiment' is truly a remarkable comeback in the face of adversity."

“It’s fascinating!”

"Hehehe...you're too kind!" Teng Huatao was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He felt more and more that this kid was good at talking and handling things.

But he doesn't know how to deal with things... Qi Hui had no idea how to socialize with so many people before. He had learned these skills at the dinner table. He could easily come up with all kinds of flattering words and it was easy to tickle the other person's sore spot.

"Please sit down." Qi Hui took him to a seat by the window and snapped his fingers at the waiter.

The waiter came over quickly and waited for Teng Tenghua's instructions.

Teng Huatao didn't hesitate and ordered a cup of coffee according to his preference.

Only after the waiter turned and left did he turn his gaze to Qi Hui.

"I wonder what Director Teng wants to talk to me about?" Qi Hui laughed and said, "Could it be that Director Teng wants me to act in a movie?" He could probably guess that it was because of "Love is Not Blind".

But he couldn't speak first about this matter, otherwise it would be like asking for help from others, so he had to let Teng Huatao speak first.

Hearing this, Teng Huatao did not directly state his purpose. He stirred the spoon in his hand and said slowly:

"I recently read a novel called 33 Days of Broken Love"

"I originally wanted to adapt it into a movie, but after contacting the original author, I found out that the copyright is in your hands."

Qi Hui smiled and nodded. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

In fact, the so-called promotion of film shooting was not what he really wanted.

What he actually wanted was to take a ride, become the protagonist, and preferably get some investment and make some money.

As for the plan and adapted script made a few days ago...that was a contingency plan.

If Teng Huatao fails, it will not be too late to launch another attack.

Hey~
At this moment, the system prompt sounded in my ear.

[The host has contacted director Teng Huatao and received a chance to participate in a lucky draw. Would you like to participate now?]

Qi Hui's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately started the lottery.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Movie Shooting]

Qi Hui: “…”

I don’t want Teng Huatao’s film shooting skills… No, it seems like they can be used?!
Qi Hui's heart skipped a beat. This thing was just right for "Love Is Not Blind"... But that's not right. It can't be filmed without money!
He can't do anything with the few million in savings.

Qi Hui's original idea was to wait for Teng Huatao to attract investment, and he would just be responsible for reaping the benefits.

"Haha... I do have the copyright to Love Is Not Blind." Qi Hui smiled and said, "If Director Teng wants to film it, then of course he can."

"I'm willing to cooperate."

Teng Huatao stirred the coffee in the cup and naturally knew what Qi Hui meant.

But he slowly shook his head and smiled, "I only want the copyright. As for the lead actor, I already have a suitable candidate."

"You're not suitable."

The right person is naturally the herald.

He had worked with the heraldry many times and was very comfortable with it.

Moreover... Wen Zhang's fame and conditions in all aspects are much better than those of the newcomer in front of him.

In fact, it was not just because of these reasons. Teng Huatao first got to know heraldry because of Feng Xiaogang.

He and Feng Xiaogang are neighbors, while Zhao Baogang and Feng Xiaogang are good friends.

The reason why Wen Zhang got to know him was not only because of Ma Yili, but also because Tong Dawei got in touch with Zhao Baogang.

The coat of arms was recommended by Tong Dawei
We are all family members, so it is easy to use.

As for Qi Hui... let him suffer a little, he has a good relationship with the old Ling family anyway, so he has no shortage of roles to play.

Hearing Teng Huatao's words, Qi Hui's face suddenly froze.

To be honest, even though he had a contingency plan, he still felt a little surprised when faced with this situation.

"I see." Qi Hui laughed and said, "Then Director Teng is looking for me because..."

"Copyright." Teng Huatao leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, raised his hand and snapped his fingers:

"Make a price."

Hearing this, Qi Hui touched his chin and thought that if the price was right, it would not be impossible to buy it.

"Hmm..." Qi Hui tapped the table with his fingertips, thinking in his mind.

Looking at Qi Hui's appearance, Teng Huatao felt satisfied. Yes, he was very good at judging people.

This guy is a man who knows what's going on.

If I feel better in the future, it wouldn't be impossible to give him a role.

"Then... one hundred million." Qi Hui said slowly: "What do you think?"

The box office of this movie is over 4 million, which is rounded up to million.

I'll sell it for 100 million, that's not too much, right?
Upon hearing Qi Hui's offer, Teng Huatao's face suddenly froze.
