Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

"Director Chen, are you looking for me?"

Chen Yunteng was a little surprised when he arrived at Chen Mubai's office. He didn't know why Chen Mubai was looking for him.

"Could it be that there is a new work to be handed over to me!?" Chen Yunteng thought boldly in his heart.

Apart from this matter, what else can you find him?

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Yunteng couldn't help feeling a little excited.

The quality of Chen Mubai's script is recognized as strong!

No matter who gets the script, as long as they shoot according to it, the quality will not be bad!

The script is written in great detail, and changes are avoided. For the director, this kind of script is the easiest to shoot. Unlike many scripts, it is a simple process, and many scenes and things still need to be brainstormed by the director.

It can be said that the market price for this script alone is the top screenwriter's price!

Calculated according to the TV series, the content of an episode is at least three to four hundred thousand!

Chen Mubai has already had too many works to prove his ability as a screenwriter, and his current screenwriting worth is enough to rank among the top screenwriters!

In fact, many directors are not serious professional backgrounds, and many well-known directors have changed from the identity of screenwriters. It is a consensus that they must have a good script before they can shoot high-quality works.

If a bad script is made into a good-quality drama, then the director must have a high level and can turn decay into magic!

Seeing Chen Yunteng's agitated expression, Chen Mubai knew what he was thinking.

"Sit down and speak slowly."

According to Chen Mubai's intention, Chen Yunteng sat on the sofa at the side, anxiously waiting for Chen Mubai's next words, he was looking forward to this matter, but he was also afraid that he would guess wrong, so he felt uneasy.

"I have a new work to shoot, this time I'm going to give it to you to shoot, what do you think?"

"Here we come!" Chen Yunteng's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Mubai's words, he guessed right.

"Okay!" Chen Yunteng nodded decisively in agreement.

"I happen to have nothing to do recently. My previous work has just been shown on TV, so I have plenty of time!" Chen Yunteng said hurriedly, afraid that Chen Mubai would change his mind.

"I'll leave this drama to you." Chen Mubai nodded.

"I promise to complete the task!" Chen Yunteng said excitedly.

"What kind of work is this time?"

Now that the matter of this drama has been decided, Chen Yunteng needs to have a good understanding of this work, and then think about it carefully, and then try to make this drama as good as possible.

"Costume sitcom."

"Comedy, or ancient costume?" Chen Yunteng was a little confused, what is this?

Costume dramas are generally historical dramas, either palace fights, wars, or love affairs, just like the previous "Xia Ke Zhuan".

Costume comedy, never heard of it!

Will there be a market for this?

Chen Yunteng was confused. There is still a difference between costume dramas and urban dramas. Behaviors like "The Man with a Cock" are fine in urban dramas, but they are out of line in costume dramas, and the audience will definitely not accept it.

However, thinking of Chen Mubai's record, Chen Yunteng still resisted his inner doubts, and continued to ask: "This... can it be done?"

Thinking that there is indeed no precedent for costume comedy here, at most it is just a little bit funny, there is no serious comedy as the line, it is normal for Chen Yunteng to be a little suspicious.

Chen Mubai explained: "No problem, there is definitely a market for this drama."

"Okay, when can I get the script, I'll take a look when I go back." Chen Yunteng could only nod.

I still have great trust in Chen Mubai's ability. Since Chen Mubai is so confident, it should be fine.

Why make a comedy?

Chen Yunteng thinks that it may be because of the popularity of "Crazy Stone" and the fact that the industry now believes that comedy is more popular with the public. He learned that many companies in the industry are preparing to make comedy-type film and television dramas. Follow the trend and drink soup to catch the heat.

It may be because of the popularity of this style of works recently,

That's why Chen Mubai wrote another comedy script?

In addition, the people who follow the trend are all urban comedies, so open a new path, create a costume comedy, and be the first to eat crabs?

Chen Yunteng didn't doubt Chen Mubai's talent at all, but he thought so about why Chen Mubai wanted to make costume comedies.

"I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

"Okay, speaking of actors..."

"I've talked to Mr. Lu about this matter, and it's fine for you to add up when the time comes."

"Oh, by the way, although this drama is a costume drama, you can recruit more sponsors and advertise for them on the show, remember to ask them to add money!" Chen Mubai added, and finally opened a small joke.

"Ah?" Chen Yunteng was confused again.

Costume drama plus modern advertising... What is this game?

"You will know when the time comes. There are similar spoof scenes in the script. After the sponsors are finalized, their product names can be replaced."

"Go back and make preparations. I'll give you the script tomorrow. When you have selected the actors, you can start the project."

Chen Yunteng received a lot of information for a while, and his mind has not turned around yet: "Okay..."

Got up, walked out of Chen Mubai's office, Chen Yunteng was still thinking about costume comedy, and adding sponsors' advertisements, isn't this the standard for bad movies?

It's a common method for bad movies, to get a wave of bad money.

Won't this be scolded to death by the audience?

But thinking that it is impossible for Chen Mubai to do such a thing, isn't this self-destructing his reputation, and he can't do such a thing with his character, Chen Yunteng fell into a contradiction.

"Maybe it can really be a blockbuster?"

Even if he didn't read the script, Chen Yunteng still had this thought in his mind, which was his recognition of Chen Mubai's talent.

A genius and a lunatic are just a thought away, Chen Mubai is not a lunatic, and Chen Yunteng is looking forward to the script of this drama even more.

the next day.

Chen Mubai came to the company, and he handed over the script to Chen Yunteng.

"You go back and take a good look. Try to find actors according to the above prototype, try to find newcomers, and give them more opportunities. I really like this drama."

Lu Fang also received a role sheet handed over by Chen Mubai, which marked the name, personality, and identity of each character.

"Bai Zhantang, the sage of robbers in the Jianghu, is actually a cowardly thief. He did nothing, and his name was planted and framed..."

"Tong Xiangyu, the shopkeeper of Tongfu Inn, married and died of her husband, and then lived and worked in Qixia Town..."

Chen Yunteng and Lu Fang are both looking at this role list. After all, this is a character closely related to the plot, and it is also the actor role they need to look for.

That's right, this costume sitcom is "Wulin Biography"!

When this drama first came out, it quickly became popular, and it is still a legend to this day!

This drama seems to be a comedy, but many funny plots in it satirize the real social state, which is very similar to "Crazy Stone".

Just like Bai Zhantang's status as a thief saint, everyone in the world praised him for his greatness, but in fact he never did it. It was just that the general smashed the cup bestowed by the emperor and declared that he was stolen by the thief saint.

He also exaggeratedly described Bai Zhantang's martial arts and identity, making Bai Zhantang a well-known figure in the world!

In fact, in the final analysis, it is a blame, and there are many such people in reality.

There is also Tong Xiangyu's status as a widow, which is also a kind of irony of her loyalty to traditional customs. There are also good and bad inheritance, and there is no need to persist in bad ones. This is a kind of irony to the backward customs of ancient times.

There are also various complaints about the realistic and unreasonable system, including the forced addition of advertisements in TV dramas by TV stations, the unspoken rules of talent shows, and the fact that the champion has already been determined by default, all of which are satirical.

There is also the plastic sisterhood between Tong Xiangyu and his only friend and best friend when he was a child. Comparisons between the two are common, and they spend a lot of money to compare, mocking each other for not being as good as themselves, and slapping their faces to pretend to be fat.

In the end, neither of them ended well, and then they regretted it.

The plots of these scenes are all reflections and satires on social phenomena, which are very educational.

The relationship between women seems to be beautiful, but in fact there are many small-minded and thieves. This is also a true portrayal of the relationship between most girls. It may be a best friend in a previous life, but it is normal for her to say bad things about you in the future.

"interesting."

Lu Fang and Chen Yunteng took a brief look at the personalities and lives of the characters described on the character sheet.

Generally speaking, the identity of the protagonist is very good, or else it is very inspirational or has a great background.

But it's different in this drama. The identities of the characters seem to be awesome, but in fact they are very watery, more like a kind of irony, with a sense of comedy.

Just like Bai Zhantang, who is a thief, but in fact he didn't do anything, it was blown out, and he was a scapegoat. The key point is that he still can't explain it!

Lu Xiucai, a hero in Guanzhong, a great chivalrous man must be a person with high martial arts skills, but he has no martial arts at all.

The only achievement is to fool people to death with one mouth, which can be regarded as getting rid of the saying that he is a scholar who is useless.

He is the character with the highest IQ in this play, very smart, but he is very well-behaved, he abides by the red tape and etiquette, he looks like a poor scholar, not at all in line with a hero.

The contrast between these identities and roles is very large. Just relying on the personalities of these characters, Lu Fang and Chen Yunteng can feel the difference from traditional martial arts dramas.

From the character setting, it is already very characteristic, and it has a desire for people to follow and understand.

They are professional, and they still have a certain level of appreciation, so they are still very optimistic about the quality of this drama.

"Sure enough, Mr. Chen's scripts are always ingenious and surprising."

Chen Yunteng was ecstatic in his heart, he really wanted to go back now, read the script right away, wanted to understand the plot, and see what interesting stories would happen to these people.

With such a large group of people mixed together, and with such identities and backgrounds, the contrast is so great, it will definitely be very funny, this is Chen Yunteng's sense of smell.

"We spend a little time to understand the role, and then we will find a suitable actor." Lu Fang said.

"En." Chen Yunteng nodded.

"I'll leave this matter to you. I'm going out at that time. If you have any questions, try to find me in these two days. I can answer them for you." Chen Mubai said.

"No problem, two days is enough."

"There's something else to do next."

Lu Fang and Chen Yunteng began to prepare for "Wulin Biography". This is Mubai Entertainment's next TV series, and it is a script written by Chen Mubai. This will definitely attract a lot of attention.
