The boss is not tired of pampering his wife

Chapter 1033
With the popularity of the movie "Detective", the box office and word-of-mouth continued to rise. Xia Zhixing received a lot of congratulatory text messages every day, and several investors invited her to work on the script adaptation, which made Xia Zhixing flattered. It's easy for people to refuse, but it's really hard for her to refuse when Sister Sheng Lan calls her personally.

To be precise, the only adaptation of the script that she participated in was the "Rescue Operation" that Qian Shengyu directed and acted in, and she borrowed the aura of Golden Finger.

As for this "Detective God", at most she provided a general direction, which also benefited from the aura of Goldfinger.

Cough... I am ashamed of myself!

Qian Shenglan only regarded her as being modest, "I won't brag about your talent in script adaptation, my brother has praised you more than once in front of me, if his script hadn't been adapted by you, it would have been a blast to shoot. There is also the drama "Detective God", I have also read the original script, although it is good, but compared with your revised script, I think it is a class behind, the original script is at best considered quite satisfactory, after your adaptation It has become more innovative, and it is eye-catching..."

Xia Zhixing felt even more ashamed, "Sister Shenglan, it's okay for me to help, but the success of the two films "Rescue Operation" and "Testing God" really has nothing to do with me. The script is of course important. The crew of the entire crew is also very important, and this kind of joint effort cannot be separated from the success."

Her humble attitude made Qian Shenglan more convinced that she had found the right person, "You say you! You are the boss of the company and you are so humble. No wonder you can succeed in everything."

After a pause, "I don't want to hide it from you. I bought this ancient CEO drama at a low price a few years ago. I started developing this project the year before last, and I put a lot of effort into it. Although it's just a web drama configuration , but I wanted to meet the standards of star dramas, and I even persuaded a director friend to direct, but he and I were still dissatisfied with the adaptation of the script, and the original start time was delayed again and again. Every day of delay is equivalent to burning money , I... really feel so anxious that I'm going bald."

She trusts Xia Zhixing very much. Her younger brother's play shows that she is very capable in controlling the script. Coupled with the success of the movie "Testing God", she has more confidence in Xia Zhixing's ability in screenwriting. .

Apart from her, I really couldn't think of any other suitable candidate.

Although it didn't cost much to buy this IP at the beginning, a lot of money has been spent in the later development until the director and actors are finalized. It can be shot like this, but the effect will definitely be poor.

She wants to be strong all her life, and since she wants to do it, she wants to do it well, and she doesn't want to make a drama out of it to confuse her reputation.

Although outsiders said that Xia Zhixing's success was due to her husband Bo Yechen, she knew very well that most of Xia Zhixing's success was due to herself.

Otherwise, even if Bo Yechen opened a company for her and invested in a movie for her, it would be impossible to help her think of every detail in every aspect.

The business circle is the business circle, and the entertainment circle is the entertainment circle, and they are still different in terms of content.

So she admired Xia Zhixing very much, and she was the first thing she thought of when encountering difficulties.

Xia Zhixing blushed a little after being praised, "Sister Sheng Lan, send me the script, and I'll read it tonight."

Qian Shenglan quickly and happily agreed, and with Xia Zhixing's joining, she suddenly felt that the project was stable.

"Okay. In addition to participating in the adaptation of the script, if you are free or interested, I would like to invite you to be the producer of this web drama. You also know that this is my first web drama and I have little experience, so I want to ask you for it. Learn from the scriptures."

What she said was true. Now that major companies have started to get involved in online dramas, the cost is low and the production cycle is short. If there is an unexpected explosion, it can bring benefits no less than star dramas.

Who is not excited?

"Okay!"

Xia Zhixing responded with a smile. As a friend, she is very willing to help.

……

A week later, Xia Zhixing went to the production team for a meeting, and put forward his own opinions, "I have read both the original book and the script, and I personally think that this kind of old CEO drama is very bloody and routine. Features, there is no need to change beyond recognition, and there is no need to write hard and down-to-earth. On the contrary, I think it is necessary to shoot the exaggerated family background of the hero in the original book."

Hu Ling, one of the screenwriters, put forward a different opinion, "If it is too exaggerated, it will be criticized by netizens as untrue, and some people will even attack that we are teaching teenagers to show off their wealth."

Xia Zhixing smiled, "Some things can be circumvented. Exaggeration does not mean untrue. For example: the hero in the original book is the president, lives in a manor-style villa, and there are more than 100 luxury cars parked in the garage. We can There are dozens of luxury cars in the garage. In terms of the male lead, we can be as close to the original as possible, which satisfies the imagination of most fans of the original; The character of the main character is too wobbly. The heroine in the comments section of the original book was scolded miserably. I personally suggest that the heroine’s character can be changed to a self-reliant and self-improving type. The relationship between the characters can also be appropriately simplified, but the contradictions between the characters must be To be enough, to increase the point of view..."

Director Gu Shaoqi said: "In this case, the production cost will be very high, and if the time comes..." Wouldn't it be more of a loss?

He didn't say anything after that.

Xia Zhixing played with the pen in his hand, "The production cost of any drama can never be saved. Since you are going to shoot a president's drama, then the configuration of the male lead must be at the president's level, otherwise the male lead you shoot will not be able to save money." It’s neither fish nor fowl, not only fans of the original novel are not satisfied, but audiences are also not satisfied with watching it, and the effect of the filming will only be painless.”

Qian Shenglan, who has been silent all this time, said: "I think Mr. Xia is right. You can't save production costs by saving anything. Leave the villas and luxury cars to me."

Xia Zhixing: "If there are not enough cars, I can provide a few."

The more Qian Shenglan thought about it, the more he felt that what Xia Zhixing said was very reasonable. It is not appropriate to set any standards for what kind of drama to shoot, and to forcefully adapt a president's drama into a drama about life.

That's why she didn't think the script was appropriate. It turned out that the root cause was here.

The screenwriters headed by Hu Ling are still a little worried, "But if the president's drama is too exaggerated, it will look artificial. There have been this type of president's online drama before, and the effect after it was broadcast was not very good."

Therefore, the few screenwriters of them wanted to adapt the original work in a more down-to-earth way, so that they might not be scolded too badly.

Xia Zhixing pointed out sharply, "This is the importance of finding the right actor. When playing any role, you have to believe that you are the character. We need to find an actor who really fits the role."
