Chapter 2059: Tianmu Production, Must Be a Boutique

Zhou Andong only gave a rough outline of the plot, but it already made everyone's hearts surge.

Especially Andy and Lan, they are the professionals in film and television, so they could feel that if this TV series were filmed, it would definitely be a huge hit.

The two couldn't help but feel impatient. Tianmu has reached this level now, and in fact, many people are watching Andy's jokes, so what can really make him stand up again is actually a successful play.

"Dongzai!"

Andy asked urgently: "When can this script be written?"

"I'm very busy and don't have time to write it." Zhou Andong took out cigarettes and passed them around, then lit one for himself: "I can only write a detailed outline, and then find a professional screenwriter to fill it in. I will review it at that time."

The play 'Prison Break' has a tight plot and is very brain-burning; it is truly linked ring by ring, interlocking.

Every detail is closely connected, so he must write out the key plot and key nodes.

If he only gives a rough plot framework and lets the screenwriter play freely, they definitely don't have that ability.

Then this play will surely lose its original brilliance and might even be ruined.

Andy hesitated: "Can the screenwriter be left to me to find?"

"No problem!" Zhou Andong agreed without hesitation: "However, Future Culture also needs to send several screenwriters to participate in the cooperation, so as to ensure that both of us can successfully complete this project."

Lan expressed some concern: "Of course there is no problem with our cooperation, but I am worried that there will be obstacles in communication between the two sides, which will affect the quality of the script."

She knows well the importance of good collaboration between screenwriter teams for a successful TV series, but she knows even better the character of some people in Xiangjiang.

They look down on mainlanders, let alone cooperate with mainland screenwriters. Even if they are reluctantly squeezed together, problems will eventually arise.

Zhou Andong naturally heard Lan's worry and smoked leisurely: "No matter who it is, if they cooperate well and write the script well, they will definitely have a generous manuscript fee. If they don't know what's good for them, then let them get out."

"If you can't find a suitable screenwriter in Xiangjiang, then go abroad to find one. As long as there is money, can't we find those famous big screenwriters?"

Hearing Zhou Andong say this, Lan naturally wouldn't say anything. The person in front of her is the richest man in the mainland, and even in Xiangjiang, he definitely ranks in the top four. If he really throws money to write a script, no matter how unruly people are, they would probably be stunned by the money.

If someone really looks for trouble, then it's not that they don't know what's good for them, but that they are fools. If there is money to be made and you don't make it, but have to make trouble, what is that if not a fool?

Ma Xiaotong looked at Zhou Andong and asked: "How much do you plan to invest in this play?"

Zhou Andong pondered and said: "The budget is 50 million. If it's not enough, it can be increased to 80 million."

Andy and Lan gasped. Investing 80 million in a TV series, is this crazy?

With so much money to film a TV series, the investment simply won't be earned back.

Ma Xiaotong blinked: "Boss Zhou, are you not joking?"

"When have I ever joked with you on serious matters?"

Zhou Andong felt a bit thirsty, holding a cigarette in one hand and picking up a wine glass with the other to drink some wine.

"Although it is a TV series, I want to film it according to the standards of a Hollywood blockbuster."

"Who are you looking for as the director?"

Ma Xiaotong saw that Zhou Andong's expression was very serious. The plot of this play is so good, and the investment is 80 million. If a suitable director cannot be found, it is very likely to ruin this play.

Zhou Andong tapped the table with his fingers, pondered for a moment and said: "How about Wu Yusheng?"

This person has a problem with his stance. When filming in cooperation between the mainland and Xiangjiang, he also used mainland funds to suppress mainland actors.

But it cannot be denied that at this time, if you want to film the play 'Prison Break' well, it is really hard to find someone more suitable than him.

Lan said: "Wu Yusheng went to Hollywood and filmed a movie 'Hard Target' last year, which was very successful. It would probably be very difficult to ask him to come back to film a TV series."

Zhou Andong smiled slightly: "In this world, will there be anyone who goes against money?"

Lan was stunned, and then she also laughed: "According to what you said, Chairman Zhou, no matter how good our TV series is, it will probably be difficult to recover the cost."

"Sigh!" Zhou Andong sighed: "You have all entered a misunderstanding. Our first TV series doesn't need to make money, but to build our Tianmu's reputation. Let everyone know that Tianmu production must be a boutique."

When everyone heard this, it made sense, so they agreed with Zhou Andong's words.

"Then let's do it!" Ma Xiaotong said with a smile: "I will arrange for relevant personnel to discuss the details of cooperation with Andy as soon as possible, striving to reach an agreement as soon as possible and achieve a win-win situation."

"Then it's settled!" Andy raised his glass with a smile on his face, "I wish us a happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!" Everyone raised their glasses one after another, clinked them together with a ding, and drank them in one gulp.

After eating and drinking, the serious matters were almost discussed, and Zhou Andong looked at his watch.

"Alright, let's stop here for today."

Ma Xiaotong stood up and went out to pay the bill. Andy said gratefully to Zhou Andong: "Dongzai, thank you. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."

"We are all brothers, don't be so formal. In the future, let's make Tianmu bigger and stronger together!" Zhou Andong patted him on the shoulder, then looked at Lan: "Lan, the matter of inviting Wu Yusheng is left to you. You just need to remember that money is not a problem."

"Okay!" Lan nodded: "I will definitely complete the task. However, to invite Wu Yusheng, we must first write the script, even if it is an outline, so that we can move him."

"I will start writing the outline after I return from Japan." Zhou Andong walked out of the private room: "You should also contact the screenwriter as soon as possible, and make it clear about the cooperation with mainland screenwriters. Those who are willing to make money, cooperate well. Don't make trouble halfway, then don't blame me, Zhou Andong, for turning my face."

Feeling the cold breath on Zhou Andong, Lan suddenly shivered.

"Chairman Zhou, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well."

…………………………

June 20, 1994, the 12th day of the fifth lunar month, Monday!

Today is the last day of the music festival, and because it is Monday, all units are at work, so there are much fewer people at the music festival, but there must still be more than 20,000 people.

At the very back of the crowd, stood two sneaky-looking guys, one of whom, a short and thin one, sighed helplessly.

"Old Six, I thought this was our chance to get rich, but who the hell could have thought that the security would be so tight? The armed police, the police, and the security guards of Jin Dun, added together, there must be more than 3,000 people."

Another tall and thin one also sighed: "It's one thing that the entire venue is divided into several areas, but there are plainclothes police everywhere. Little Pink Head, Old Lai Zi, Cripple Three, they just reached out yesterday and were pressed down, without any chance to escape."

"In this world, there is really no way to mix." The short and thin one was full of sadness: "It makes me lose hope in life. Do you think we still have a future?" ===== CHAPTER 2060 =====
