Chapter 91 Pull the banner as tiger skin
Lin Zixuan received a call and said hello to Li Hong, went to the General Administration for a meeting to discuss the matter of "The People in Beijing in New York".
He used to only write scripts and rarely attended such meetings. Li Hong was usually responsible for it.
Now that he is the producer of this TV series, he has to coordinate all aspects, from the review of the script and the in-place investment to the frictions in the crew, he has to participate in it.
This is a very training job and can also expand his connections.
Especially for big productions like "The People of Beijing in New York", Lin Zixuan had the opportunity to contact the leaders of the General Administration, the heads of the TV station, investors and various figures in the entertainment industry.
This is the ecosystem of the entire film and television industry.
After Lin Zixuan made this TV series, he straightened out the relationships in all aspects and basically gained a foothold in this circle.
This is Li Hong's training for him.
Otherwise, in this era of seniority, Lin Zixuan, who is less than 25 years old, would never have been able to get such an opportunity.
Being hairless and not doing things well is the society’s view of young people. In the unit, young people are engaged in errands and errands, and it is difficult to be entrusted with important tasks.
In addition to Li Hong's factor, this opportunity was also achieved by Lin Zixuan through continuous success.
If he is not capable, Li Hong would not do this. It is to encourage growth and irresponsibility to Lin Zixuan. Once it is screwed up, the consequences will be very serious.
Lin Zixuan came to the General Administration and found that there were many people coming to this meeting, which looked quite grand.
This is the first discussion meeting of "The Capital People in New York".
Wu Zhenhui convened Chinese TV station and some sociologists, including experts who have studied the international situation, to discuss and evaluate the operability and value of this script.
Lin Zixuan is no stranger to this kind of meeting, and habits become natural.
He took out a notebook and a pen, answered questions from all parties with a positive attitude, humbly accepted opinions from all parties, and then recorded the opinions and went back to modify the script.
This is the norm in film and television creation in this era. It is not realistic to say that you can shoot whatever you want.
Even big directors and big names must abide by the rules, but their freedom will be relatively higher and they can bargain appropriately, and the above will turn a blind eye.
Unless you don’t follow this path within the system, you can only make underground movies without any scruples, but that path is very difficult.
Lin Zixuan knew very well that the young people who made underground movies now seemed very rebellious and had personality, but many years later they still tried hard to squeeze into the mainstream movie circle.
Mainstream circles are the general trend, and non-mainstream will only be marginalized by society.
Experts raised many questions, including the setting of characters in the play and their consideration of the plot.
For example, Wang Qiming is an artist playing cello in China. He has profound cultural cultivation. When he arrived in the United States, he became a businessman who was stinking and profit-oriented. This not only shows that the concept of money supremacy in capitalist society has corroded people's hearts, but does it also show that our country's lack of ideological education?
Would it be better to set this character as a businessman in China?
There is also the daughter of Wang Qiming and Guo Yan. She did not study in the United States, but she was fooled around. This involves the education of China for the next generation. Is this the next generation of our country like?
Lin Zixuan can understand these questions, but some suggestions made him laugh and cry.
For example, there is a plot in the script that says that Wang Qiming made money in the United States and became a rich man. He lived a luxury but his mind became empty. So he spent money to call a white man Yingzhao girl and spread the money on Yingzhao girl.
Some experts asked how large the scale you are going to film this plot, and whether Wang Qiming and Yingzhao Girl had any relationship.
They believe that this plot will have a negative impact on domestic audiences and are prone to imitation. It cannot be said that you can mess with relationships between men and women with money. It is recommended to delete it.
Lin Zixuan was subjected to a group of inquiries.
He will naturally argue that filming films that live in the United States cannot be characterized by domestic standards, otherwise he can only shoot a TV series that is fair and can not truly reflect the life of Chinese people in the United States.
The reason why this TV series was filmed in the United States was to film the authentic American life.
Even if this goal is not achieved, we must show the daily life of the United States as much as possible, so that the audience will feel that this is the United States and the life of Chinese people in the United States.
As for the part between Wang Qiming and Yingzhao Girl, Lin Zixuan does not intend to delete it, and the scale is smaller at most when shooting.
The discussion lasted for several hours, and Lin Zixuan had lunch at the General Administration and continued in the afternoon.
After the script discussion ended, Wu Zhenhui talked about the topic of shooting funds.
At this time, experts and scholars had left, leaving only Lin Zixuan, the representative of China Television Station and the Art Center.
Wu Zhenhui first praised the achievements made by the Beijing TV Art Center in the past, and also talked about the current problems in TV series creation, put forward the concept of innovation and change, and improve the cultural life of the people in the new era.
"Kobayashi, I know your difficulties, but if you have difficulties, you cannot retreat. You must take the initiative to solve them. Now the country advocates that you should give full play to your subjective initiative. Things cannot be solved by the country. You must dare to break through and find a new path." Wu Zhenhui said earnestly, "Don't worry, the General Administration will serve as your backing."
After a set of official words, there is only one meaning, that is, the General Administration has no money.
"The TV station will also try its best to support you. We are also a unit. Even if there is anything, there is no problem as long as the TV can do it." The Chinese TV station's people expressed their opinion.
The meaning is very obvious. Don’t mention what the station cannot do, as the TV station cannot pay.
Lin Zixuan smiled bitterly in his heart. These people are all old fryers, and it is too difficult to ask for money from them.
"Thank you for your concern, we will solve the difficulties ourselves." Lin Zixuan said in a deep voice, "But there are a few points that require cooperation between the bureau and the station so that we can carry out our work."
"Xiaolin, tell me, the bureau will try to help you solve the problem." Wu Zhenhui said cheerfully.
Lin Zixuan put forward three points: one is that the bureau issued a document to prove that "The People of Beijing in New York" has received key attention from the bureau and is an excellent project that is strongly supported by the bureau.
There is also an Art Center and China Television signed a repurchase contract, and the TV series was filmed. If there is no problem with the review, China Television must ensure that it will be broadcast on the prime time.
Finally, China Television will introduce its advertisers to the Art Center.
These days, those who can advertise on Chinese TV stations are rich companies, which is the first choice for attracting sponsorship.
Lin Zixuan’s purpose is very simple. He wants to raise the banner to make tiger skins and raise money everywhere.
