"A new project? Or a TV series project?"

After answering the call from Han Sanping and listening to his words, Chen Fei couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

What kind of TV drama project is this that could actually alarm "Zuoshandiao" to come out and call him in person?

Thinking of this, the conversation between him and He Junyi that night emerged in his mind again.

"At the radio and television symposium last year, Director Wang said that realism is not naturalism." At that time, he directly pointed out the scene in the script where Zhang Dongsheng pushed his parents-in-law off the cliff, and made it clear: "After this scene is filmed, it will definitely be the second A Touch of Sin!"

“But realism requires pain!” He Junyi was also very firm: “Just like the dismemberment scene in “Black Coal, Thin Ice” and the revenge scene of the male protagonist in “The Accidental Murderer”…”

When these words were spoken, Han Sanping knew that she had to help.

It was rare for his former subordinates to come to him for help, and if he refused them sternly, he would inevitably seem a little inhumane.

Although he can stay at home and not see guests, his daughter still has to work in the film and television industry, and she will inevitably have to deal with all kinds of people in the future.

And all the things he is doing now and the people he is helping are paving the way for Han Jianu.

However, he felt that he still couldn't handle this project. In addition, as the head of the review department, being listed as the producer of such a "taboo" subject matter did not seem to have a good impact.

So, after thinking it over, he decided to give Chen Fei a call.

Wannian Pictures does not have enough experience to handle such a taboo subject matter, but Feiyue Pictures is a large company with a great influence and can definitely withstand the pressure.

At this time, Han Sanping was talking incessantly on the phone.

Chen Fei also keenly captured the words "bad boy" and "hidden corner".

He couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "It turns out that the copyright of this part is acquired by Wannian Films?! No wonder when Su Guohai asked, Zijin Chen said it had been sold."

Chen Fei still has a deep impression of the TV series "The Hidden Corner".

Mainly because the words "Let's go hiking together" and "Do I still have a chance" are so awesome that they once became "phenomenal" hot search terms in 2020. Finally, they even extended outside the play and became synonymous with "terrifying when you think about it"!

After his rebirth, Chen Fei naturally wanted to film this drama.

Unfortunately, when I went to buy the copyright from the original novel's author Zijin Chen, I only got the part about "The Undocumented Crime", while someone else had already got the part about "The Hidden Corner".

He felt quite regretful at the time.

But he never expected that after going around in circles, the project would finally come back to him!

"So, Mr. Han, what you mean is that you want Feiyue Film and Television to cooperate with Wannian Film and Television?"

"Yes." Han Sanping said bluntly: "I can't use this title, but I can help with the review. He Junyi's qualifications are obviously not enough, but if Feiyue Film and Television supports it, the higher-ups will definitely not have too many objections."

A person’s reputation is like a tree’s shadow. Feiyue Films is not comparable to a small company like Wannian Pictures.

However, Chen Fei did not agree directly after hearing this, but asked: "Can I take a look at the project book and script first?"

Of course he was willing to help, but he was a little worried now. Would Wannian Pictures change the script completely?

It would be boring if all those classic scenes were removed.

"Of course." Han Sanping thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you go ahead and do your work. I'll tell He Junyi to come and meet you and bring you the project book and the script."

"Yeah, okay."

Chen Fei nodded in agreement immediately.

Hang up the phone.

Han Sanping did not hesitate. He immediately found He Junyi's contact information and called him directly.

The latter quickly answered the call: "Hello? Director Han?"

"I have already talked to Fade Chen about your project. He is very interested in it, but he wants to take a look at the project book and the script first. If you have time, you can go and meet with him."

"Yes! Of course!" He Junyi responded quickly.

In fact, up to now, "The Hidden Corner" has not only not passed the review, but there is still a big gap in investment.

He Junyi originally wanted to seek investment from iQiyi, and then directly release the film on the iQiyi platform after it was finished.

He had already talked to iQiyi some time ago.

However, there is still a stalemate between the two sides.

Because he wants to get a share of the profits and make money together.

Keai iQiyi, however, wanted to buy the whole thing and take over the entire project.

He Junyi naturally didn't want to agree. After all, this project had great potential, and getting a share of the profits was the best option.

Keai iQiyi was unwilling to give in.

He has been having a headache about this matter recently, plus the pressure from the review, he has lost his appetite and has even lost several pounds due to hunger.

But now it’s different!

His old boss actually helped him contact Feiyue Film and Television, this "big Buddha". If he could reach a cooperation with the other party, the road ahead would be much smoother.

When he thought of this, he could not hide his excitement! He immediately started to plan his actions...

~

After a night, it was March 9th.

The news that Marvel's Hollywood imported blockbuster "Captain Marvel" grossed 246 million yuan on the first day directly topped the hot search list!

Following closely was the news that the premiere of the romantic film "More Sad Than Sadness", which was invested and produced by Taiwan Province, was held.

This movie will be released on March 14th and is currently very popular, with the main marketing topics being "full of tear-jerking moments" and "excellent crying scenes".

In Chen Fei's memory, the word of mouth and box office performance of this movie after its release were quite good, at least much better than "Fall in Love at First Kiss".

As for TV dramas, the recently popular "All Is Well" is so popular that related topics directly occupied the third to sixth place on the hot search list!

Although Chen Fei doesn't like Yao Dazui, he cannot deny that "All Is Well" is a TV series with great depth and charm.

It profoundly presents the theme of family. Through the story of the Su family, it presents unreservedly real family problems such as preference for boys over girls, living off parents, and supporting the elderly.

The fierce collision between traditional family concepts and modern values ​​forces the audience to reflect on the hidden inequalities and injustices in family relationships.

At the same time, the play's interpretation of family affection is also very complex. Although there are many conflicts and constant quarrels among family members, the blood-thicker-than-water bond of family affection remains strong, making people understand that although family affection may bring harm and conflicts, it is ultimately difficult to give up.

In addition, character creation is also a highlight of the show.

Su Mingyu appears strong on the outside but is weak on the inside, Su Daqiang is selfish and pitiful, and Su Mingcheng depends on his parents for support but has a warm side. Each character has both strengths and weaknesses and is extremely close to reality, making it easy for the audience to resonate with the characters.

Moreover, the characters continue to transform and grow in the play. This design is very ingenious!

And the plot design is equally ingenious.

Starting with a series of conflicts triggered by the death of Su's mother, Su Daqiang's various "devilish" behaviors, the fierce conflicts between brothers and sisters, and the ups and downs of the plot, it firmly caught the audience's attention.

At the same time, the rhythm is well-paced, and light-hearted and humorous plots such as Su Daqiang dancing in the square are interspersed among the tense conflicts, enriching the plot.

Coupled with the superb acting skills of a group of powerful actors, the characters are interpreted vividly through subtle expressions and behaviors.

There is also the real-life scene arrangement, from the Su family's old house to the office space, all of which are meticulously crafted, and the strong breath of life is overwhelming, making this drama a rare masterpiece.

Chen Fei himself is also following this drama, and he is watching it with great interest.

Especially the scene where Guo Jingfei confronts Su Daqiang, which he never gets tired of watching.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

For example, the phrase "Is it because you are old? Or is it because you don't take a shower?" has been on the hot search topic list for several days.

"Director Chen, there's someone outside the crew, saying they have an appointment with you to discuss the project."

The assistant's call from behind immediately drew Fade Chen's attention away from his phone.

"You have an appointment with me to discuss the project?"

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately!

If my guess is correct, it should be He Junyi, the president of Wannian Pictures.

"Please ask him to come over. I'll be waiting for him in the lounge."

"OK."

The assistant turned around and walked out quickly.

A few minutes later, Fade Chen and He Junyi officially completed their meeting in the crew lounge.

"Mr. Chen, I've long heard of your name." He Junyi greeted politely.

"Haha, Mr. He, we have met before. You won't forget it, right?"

Hearing Chen Fei's words, He Junyi was stunned at first, and his mind was racing.

"The Founding of a Republic." Chen Fei reminded him.

"Oh, look at my brain. I'm really old and confused."

He Junyi patted his head, feeling inexplicably surprised.

That was 10 years ago. At that time, he was working as an assistant to Han Sanping on the set of "The Founding of a Republic".

He had almost forgotten about it, but he didn't expect Chen Fei to still remember it!

The two chatted for a while, and then He Junyi took out the project book and script of "The Hidden Corner" on his own initiative.

After Chen Fei took it, he examined it carefully.

Half an hour passed in a flash.

After reading the project book and the script, Fade Chen nodded with satisfaction.

The story didn't change much, and all the necessary plots were there, without the deletion of a large number of classic scenes that he was worried about.

“Feiyue Film and Television can invest in this project.”

He Junyi didn't expect that Chen Fei didn't ask anything and made the decision directly, which made all the arguments he prepared in advance go down the drain.

But he was only slightly stunned for a moment, and then he quickly responded: "Okay! That's great!"

With the endorsement of Feiyue Films and the support of Han Sanping, this project is definitely a success!

But the next second, Chen Fei's words stunned him again.

"No matter how much investment is lacking, I can make up for it, but I have one condition."

He Junyi's heart tightened, "What are the conditions?"

Chen Fei said frankly: "After this drama is produced, I want it to be released on the Youku platform."

"sure."

He Junyi smiled immediately, and the tension in his heart disappeared at this moment.

It just so happened that his talks with iQiyi were not going well.

As one of the leading video playback channels in the industry, Youku is naturally not inferior to iQiyi.

If it can be launched on the Youku platform, with the support of Feiyue Films, the success rate of the project will definitely be greatly improved!

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

Chen Fei took the initiative to extend his hand.

He Junyi smiled and shook his hand, unable to hide his excitement: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

This is the first collaboration between Wannian Pictures and Feiyue Pictures. If it goes smoothly enough, there may be opportunities for a second or third collaboration.

When he thought of this, He Junyi couldn't hide his excitement, and the smile on his face became brighter.

Afterwards, he visited the filming of "Where the Wind Is".

That evening, after having dinner with Chen Fei, Liu Yifei and others, he rushed back to the capital overnight and officially launched the project work of "The Hidden Corner".

At the same time, Chen Fei also contacted Jiang Xuerou and asked her to be responsible for coordinating this new project with He Junyi.

Both parties are people who attach great importance to efficiency, and all the details of the cooperation were finalized in just a few days.

At the same time, the script was also sent to the review department.

Han Sanping personally stepped forward and found the person in charge of reviewing TV drama scripts.

In less than a week, the script was successfully reviewed and made public:

"This morning, the General Administration announced the latest list of film and television scripts that have passed the review. The suspense-themed script "The Hidden Corner", jointly submitted by Feiyue Film and Television and Wannian Film, adapted from Zijin Chen's mystery novel "Bad Kids", has officially passed the review!

The play is set in a small coastal town in the south in midsummer. It tells the story of three teenagers, Zhu Chaoyang, Yan Liang, and Pu Pu, who have special growth backgrounds. They accidentally recorded a murder scene while visiting a scenic spot, and then blackmailed the murderer Zhang Dongsheng, which triggered a suspenseful story of a series of murders.
