In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 148 New Program (44)

Too…

Tianmei Studio mainly focuses on screenwriters, and its main business is to receive projects and then write them...

Doing the show itself is a side hustle—although the benefits of the show far exceed those of scriptwriting.

But the previous "Screening Room" and "In-depth Analysis" include "Three Kingdoms", the format of the program is simple, only three or five people are enough.

The company has no idea of ​​expanding its operations...

There are less than twenty people if you add one yuan!

So many people want to do a treasure appraisal show?

Dreaming?

However, Shen Xudong had other ideas: "Your sister asked us to give advice, so let's give it. We are the capital of the Five Dynasties. As the old saying goes, treasures are hidden in the prosperous times and gold is bought in troubled times. Now is the prosperous age. Everyone is interested in antiques... Then What’s wrong with taking advantage of the trend and making a treasure appraisal show?”

Last year, after the new version of the Cultural Relics Protection Law allowed personal collection and trading of cultural relics under certain circumstances, the country immediately ushered in a wave of antique collecting boom.

By the end of 2003, there were 40 million domestic art and cultural relic collectors, mainly working-class people.

What is this called?

This is called a market!

"...We can't do it!"

"It doesn't matter whether it can be done or not, at least it's an idea, right? You guys don't even have an idea!"

Zhao Linhai chuckled: "...We are not as clever as you..."

Liao Gaoxiang was a little unhappy: "I told you to play games live, but you guys said no..."

“It’s not like you don’t know the attitude towards games from above!”

"...Lao San, do you have any ideas?"

"…How about a debate?"

"No one even watched the international college debate competition..."

“It’s boring to judge the winner or loser of a debate,” Zhao Linhai interjected: “In the 1994 Changhong Cup National College Debate Competition, Fudan University defeated BJ University. Afterwards, the Peking University debate team angrily accused CCTV of being behind the scenes and manipulating the results of the competition, and refused to accept the award. Runner-up trophy.”

This incident had a huge impact. Peking University announced the disbandment of the debate team. Since then, BJ University has disappeared from the Chinese debate scene...

Zhao Xin shrugged: "Then I have no idea!"

Shen Xudong was speechless...

There's no way to count on it!

How can we run a good company with a bunch of insects like you?

Okay, that last sentence was a joke.

Zhao Linhai recently received a project, "Lotus Lantern"...

To be precise, it is a script revision. The script of "Lotus Lantern" is adapted from the mythical story of Agarwood splitting the mountain to save her mother. In fact, screenwriter Wang Biao has already finished writing it. However, Wang Biao has no experience in writing scripts before, so he wrote "Lotus Lantern". Although there is nothing wrong with the plot of "Lotus Lantern", this is just that there is nothing wrong with the plot...

The lines, characters, and plot points all have to be refined by a professional screenwriter!

Producer Mr. Li Jian found these people and wanted them to change it.

Good year, actually it was Zhao Linhai’s father who made some efforts...

"Lotus Lantern" is a CCTV drama. Normally, a drama with this configuration should find a national-level screenwriter.

According to Zhao Linhai - "The series must be close to the tastes of young people, so come to us!"

This is pure nonsense. There are so many young people, why do they only look for you?

There aren’t even any aired works!

To bring it back, in short, their task is to adapt the already written story into a script, 40 episodes...

Originally, Zhao Linhai's idea was to have ten episodes for each person, but Shen Xudong... really couldn't spare the time. He is now busy with the script of "Sword and Sword" and the drama "Outstanding Citizen"...

Then only Liao Gaoxiang and Zhao Xin can help!

Shen Xudong took a look at the script of "Lotus Lantern" and found that it was indeed written by Wang Biao...

Screenwriter Wang is a strange person. He has written "Lotus Lantern", "Lotus Lantern Prequel", "Magic Cell Phone", and also wrote "The Arrow on the String" - the anti-Japanese heroine Xu Erhang was pushed by the Japanese. Halfway through the push, she suddenly broke out. He jumped into the air, put on his pants automatically, and shot all twenty or thirty Japanese and puppet soldiers to death in a few dozen seconds, composing a magnificent heroic chapter.

Just for lunch...

After all, there were anti-Japanese hero squads everywhere in those years, and there was always someone to write about, so why not him?

The wind and rain in this world can't beat others, so why can't he, Wang Biao, be beaten?

Shen Xudong also has the idea of ​​writing an anti-Japanese drama. "Eternal Number" is very suitable, but he has to wait for "Bright Sword" to be released...

Several people in the dormitory are quite talented, at least in terms of screenwriting, and they all have their own opinions.

At noon the next day, at the restaurant at the school gate, Gao Fenfen listened to Shen Xudong’s proposal of ‘treasure appraisal’ and shook his head decisively: “We can’t do it!”

"...Then I have no idea..."

"You just thought of a treasure appraisal show?"

"Last year, after the new version of the "Cultural Relics Protection Law" allowed personal collection and trading of cultural relics under certain circumstances, the country immediately ushered in a round of antique collection craze... This is the premise, and the market is definitely there! When I talk about treasure appraisal, plus Without the part where fakes are smashed, this thing will definitely attract the audience..."

"Then have you calculated how much it will cost to make this show?"

"Aren't we cooperating with the TV station? We come up with ideas and leave the specific execution to the TV station..."

Gao Fenfen didn't even think about it and shook his head directly: "...No, the TV station is too domineering. Once the effect is good, they will kick us out at any time!"

I only cooperated with the TV station once, and I already had a psychological shadow...

"...I have no choice, you can think of it yourself!"

After Shen Xudong said this, he simply lowered his head and started eating...

"Actually, I think history is quite interesting. The Three Kingdoms Fever..."

Gao Fenfen put forward his own ideas and continued to talk about history...

There was no need for Shen Xudong to speak this time. Zhao Linhai retorted directly: "...Forget it, there is no dynasty like the Three Kingdoms..."

"That's right, I've basically read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Even if I haven't read the book, I've also watched the TV series!"

"Do we really want to make "Treasure Appraisal"... But I don't want to cooperate with the TV station... But if we do it ourselves, we don't have enough money and people..."

Shen Xudong said casually: "Then let's find another investor..."

"Find another funder?"

"That's right!" Shen Xudong stopped eating: "I have connections with Guangguang and Chengtian..."

"...No need," Gao Fenfen waved his hand: "I can also contact people!"

Also, given Gao Fenfen’s family background, and with the endorsement of the TV station, it’s not difficult to find a sponsor!

Shen Xudong nodded: "Then it's settled..."

"That's it for now...you haven't said anything about the program planning, format, script, or who the guests and judges should be!"

"…Forbidden City…"

Mentioning the Forbidden City, Shen Xudong suddenly thought of "National Treasure", so he changed his mind: "Actually, we can find another way to introduce national treasures specifically in the form of a reality show to museums in various provinces and cities..."

"...This is a matter of CCTV... We are cooperating with BJ station..." Gao Fenfen refused without thinking, "However, what you just said is right, we can invite experts from the Forbidden City to specially watch... where is the host?"

"Teacher Wang Gang!"

"Wang Gang? He..."

"Teacher Wang is a fan himself. He has also been a host...and he is also famous."

"...Teacher Wang Gang," Gao Fenfen wrote down, and then asked: "What about the form?"

"What kind of form can this thing have? It's just to invite private treasure holders to come over for appraisal. Before the appraisal, they sign a contract. If it's a fake, then it will be smashed. If it's real, congratulations... By the way, you can invite people from a few auction houses to come and bid high prices on the spot. Acquire real treasures!”
