Chen Kun smiled bitterly.

The price is more than just a little low.

The price offered by Station A is lower than its market price.

In fact, even if it was equal to his market price, he didn't want to take it.

Because… “It’s common for female-oriented novel adaptations to become huge hits, but it’s rare for male-oriented novel adaptations to become huge hits, especially when it comes to martial arts dramas.”

Chen Kun said sincerely, "Director Wei, please don't be offended by what I have to say. I think the project 'Snow Swordsman' probably won't be a big hit. Martial arts dramas are already a thing of the past."

Director Wei thought to himself that you are absolutely right.

I also feel there is no hope for a big fire.

That's why the price I offered you is so low.

Reduce costs.

But there are still martial arts fans.

The male frequency market also exists.

So dramas in this field also need to be filmed.

Station A has reached its current stage. It needs blockbuster products, but it also needs niche areas.

Try to reach all audiences.

In this way, Station A will have greater influence and higher valuation.

It can also expand the diversity of the Chinese-language film industry.

Director Wei no longer considers only whether a project will be a success.

Besides, he wasn't the one acting in the film, nor was he the one directing it.

It’s none of his business if the business fails.

For Chen Kun, isn't failure a common thing?

Wei Jun complained in his heart, but said: "Brother Kun, martial arts has indeed declined. But it is precisely because of this that if we can shoot a martial arts masterpiece now, it will surprise the audience.

Besides, Station A will have many projects in the future to adapt male-oriented novels.

Brother Kun, if you are interested, then "Snow Sword" is a good start for cooperation.

"For Director Wei's sake, what else can I say?"

Chen Kun chuckled and said, "As long as Station A is willing to wait, I will include that project in my future work plan after I finish filming the one with Ni Ni."

Director Wei nodded.

Director Wei then spoke naturally, "Speaking of the drama you and Ni Ni are filming now, it seems to be adapted from an online novel as well?"

Chen Kun was a little surprised: "Director Wei, you even know this?"

Director Wei said calmly: "Ni Ni told me."

Ni Ni looked innocent while eating.

I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense.

When did I tell you?

How come I don’t know?

But Ni Ni soon understood.

Director Wei actually investigated me.

He also understands my current situation so clearly.

Does he have a crush on me?

As soon as this thought appeared in Ni Ni's mind, she strangled it.

After all, Ni Ni does not have dementia.

Chen Kun didn't think much about it. He nodded and said, "What we are filming now is indeed a drama adapted from a female-oriented novel."

"But it seems like you brought a screenwriter with you and changed a drama that was supposed to be about a female lead into one that was supposed to be about a male lead."

Wei Jun said casually.

Ni Ni's eating stopped instantly.

Chen Kun's hand holding the food trembled instantly.

They didn't expect that as they ate the meal, they would actually taste like they were going to call for an explanation.

Moreover, it seems that Director Wei is standing up for Ni Ni?

Chen Kun looked at Ni Ni, very confused.

Sisters, what's going on?

Aren’t we good sisters?

I thought we had a good relationship.

You didn't object to my changing the script on the set.

What's the point of asking Director Wei to come out and cause trouble for me now?

Ni Ni understood Chen Kun's doubts.

She is even more confused than Chen Kun.

Ni Ni quickly said, "Brother Kun, I didn't complain to Director Wei.

Director Wei, why do you care about this?"

Director Wei smiled and said, "I'm speaking up for you."

Ni Ni was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Chen Kun's hand that was picking up the food trembled again.

Speaking of this matter, it is true that what he did was not fair.

"Director Wei, I... there might be a misunderstanding."

Director Wei complained, "What's the misunderstanding? Isn't it just that you accepted a role with a female lead, but didn't want to play the role of a tool to support the female lead, so you brought a screenwriter into the crew and changed it into a role with a male lead? This kind of thing is very common in the industry. It's not surprising that famous actors like to bring screenwriters into the crew to change the script at will."

Chen Kun couldn't refute it.

That's indeed what happened.

Why is it said that the Chinese film industry lacks good scripts?

Because once a screenwriter has written a script, anyone can change it beyond recognition.

The director has his own ideas.

Investors have people they want to support.

That’s all.

If a big-name actor is involved, he or she will bring his or her own screenwriter into the crew. If he or she encounters a scene he or she doesn't like or feels he or she has too few scenes, he or she will ask the screenwriter to add more scenes on the spot.

Song Dandan did this kind of thing and was complained about by Song Fangjin all her life.

Chen Daoming has done this, so there has been a rumor in the circle that he is a drama tyrant. This is not a legend, it is a fact.

Chen Kun has also done it.

And it's working.

It's in the drama he and Ni Ni are currently filming.

The TV series adapted from the novel "Phoenix Power" is "Phoenix Power: The Game of Thrones". Of course, this is under normal circumstances.

When Chen Kun joined the crew, he brought his own screenwriter and with a stroke of his pen, he changed all the original author's original work and script.

From "The Legend of Hao Lan", it became "The Rise of Phoenixes"!

In the end, the ratings of "The Rise of Phoenixes" on Mango TV were so low that they broke the lowest record of Mango TV.

Chen Kun has been mocked by the mango spirit for many years.

Of course, this is not what Director Wei is concerned about.

Director Wei knew about this because Chen Kun repeatedly failed and was mocked to the point of becoming a trending topic, which then brought up the incident of the script change for "The Rise of Phoenixes".

Chen Kun has his own screenwriter and threw the original author aside.

Later, because "The Rise of Phoenixes" performed so poorly, Chen Kun's fans blamed the original author.

That’s all.

Chen Kun’s fans also reported the original author.

It is worth mentioning that the original author is a female police officer in real life.

Or the kind that has made contributions and won medals.

As a result, because Chen Kun's fans reported her to her original unit, the system was annoyed and believed that it had a bad impact, so they transferred the female author to another position.

Every popular star has fans who are loyal to him, and so do all unpopular stars.

This kind of thing is normal.

But since Director Wei knew about it, he wanted to take care of it.

Besides, what's the point of going through so much trouble to make a male-led drama that was a complete flop and almost completely blocked the path of male-led dramas on the small screen?

"Brother Kun, I have no problem with you.

But in my experience, whenever actors bring their own screenwriters along and arbitrarily add their own scenes, the final film never turns out to be good.”

Wei Jun didn't hide it and said bluntly: "If you don't want to play the heroine role, you shouldn't have accepted it in the first place.

You took the role and then brought in the screenwriter to rewrite the script. If it flopped, will you compensate Ni Ni? Ni Ni originally took the role because she wanted to play the leading female role.

Ni Ni: "I..."

Director Wei said domineeringly: “Shut up, if you are too embarrassed to tell Brother Kun directly, I will say it for you.

Brother Kun, Ni Ni doesn't have your status in the industry, but I treat her as a friend, and I can't bear to see my friend being bullied like this."

What can Chen Kun say?

No wonder it seemed to have given me so many benefits before.

It turns out they were all waiting for me here.

He glanced at Ni Ni again.

Ni Ni's beautiful appearance did not arouse any thoughts in him, but only made him see four words: Beauty is a disaster!

He got it.

There's nothing wrong with being a big shot.

The mistake was that he acted like a big shot and bullied the girl that Director Wei wanted to pick up.

Even so, Director Wei gave him benefits first and then bullied him.

This matter is handled with great care.

Chen Kun is not a masochist, but he knows that he is no match for Director Wei, so he can only comfort himself in this way.

Then… Chen Kun took the initiative to toast and apologize: "Director Wei, I was wrong about this matter.

After I got back, I changed the script and filmed it as it was originally.

I will bear all the losses of the crew."

Ni Ni looked at Chen Kun in shock.

Director Wei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Brother Kun, I'm not targeting you, but this phenomenon.

There are already enough chaos in the entertainment industry. We practitioners should make the entertainment industry more standardized instead of always dragging it down.

I will vigorously put an end to this kind of behavior of arbitrarily changing the script in the circle in the future.

If anyone dares to do this on my set, I will ban him immediately."
