The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

"I just went out to order a meal, and you took two big orders? Fatty, why did you sell two scripts for only 1.2 million so cheaply?" Zhao Yishen asked curiously.

"Is 1.2 million still too little? It's a lot." Xia Haoyang was stunned.

"Your previous "Squid Game" script sold for a whopping 2.4 million, but this time the two films only sold for 2.4 million. Isn't that a loss?"

"It's different. At least these two films cannot be turned into variety shows, and there won't be many peripheral products as added value. 1.2 million is very high." Xia Haoyang explained.

"Then why don't we make it ourselves or invest in it?"

"These two scripts will also be a bit over the top, and it will be difficult to pass the review. At least the satellite TV will not be able to broadcast them. Forget it, leave it to them. I will write some warm love dramas, scripts that are suitable for satellite TV to broadcast and can ensure ratings."

"Like 'Reply 1988' or 'Drunken City Women'?"

"Absolutely. Anyway, it's a work of warmth."

"Okay, you are sure about the script and we won't interfere. Let's go and eat! I'll satisfy you, Sheep and Scorpion!" Zhao Yishen patted Xia Haoyang's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Cheers, drink till you die!" Han Xiyu shouted, imitating Qin Jiali.

There were quite a few people gathering around to eat sheep and scorpion hot pot at noon. Although Tara and her manager Xiao Liu were not there, there were still about ten people.

"Fat man, I heard that you sold two more scripts. Why didn't our company pay for the production?" Juzi also asked the same question.

Lao Xie, Yi Hongling, Brother Hong, Tianci and others also looked at Xia Haoyang and clearly wanted to know the answer.

Xia Haoyang could only explain again to appease everyone.

"Actually, the "Reply 1988" series has two companion chapters in my mind, namely "Reply 1997" and "Reply 1994" about high school life and college. I will write these two scripts when the time comes. Come out and invest your own money. This can be broadcast on satellite TV, either Xinan Satellite TV or CCTV."

"I'm just saying that Brother Haoyang has a backup plan and won't be satisfied with just selling a script." Li Tianci shouted.

"Fat man, you just said that high school life is "1997"; college life is "1994" instead?" Brother Hong heard the details.

"Brother Hong, it's obvious that you got it wrong. The chronological order is that he went to high school in 1994, then went to college in 1997, and Hong Kong returned in 97. Fatty plans to imitate "Business World" and continue writing period dramas." Han Xiyu thought confidently.

"So Xiao Yuzi, you should listen carefully before you chirp again. Brother Hong is right. My script "1997" is about high school life, and "1994" is a story about college. Moreover, period dramas are not imitating "Prosperity". "The World", period dramas were popular many years ago."

"What kind of story is it roughly?" Brother Hong asked.

"Actually, "1997" was the first script when I was imagining the "Reply" series. The main content was about: at the heroine's high school reunion a long time later, the 10-year-old heroine, who has been a TV writer for 33 years, and the former The friends recalled their high school years full of youthful restlessness. Surrounding the heroine’s family and her friends, the curtain of memory was gradually opened in the intertwined narratives.”

"Back in 1997, the heroine was 18 years old. She was passionately in love with Xiangjiang idols such as Liu Tianwang. She had a pair of parents who quarreled endlessly but loved each other deeply. She was silently guarded by the childhood sweetheart without knowing it. People gathered around them. It has friends with different personalities such as Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Wu, and Zhang Mazi, and the mentor is Tai Yong, the hero’s outstanding brother.”

"At that age when they could risk their lives for a trivial matter, the six friends experienced the growth and transformation of friendship, family, and love together, and gradually chose different life trajectories. Fifteen years later, they met again at the class reunion table , their respective life directions and emotional destinations will be slowly revealed." Xia Haoyang said softly with a smile on his face.

"Six friends? Fatty, aren't you writing about us? Our life direction and emotional destination fifteen years from now? It's indeed worth studying." Han Xiyu said carelessly.

"Looking at your size, Brother Hong, Fatty, Shenzi and myself have very obvious feelings. As for your relationship with Tianci, it's still nonsense. You should reflect on it. As for the direction of life? It must continue to revolve around Fatty as the core. Let’s make our studio bigger and stronger!” Lao Xie said enthusiastically. "

"Let's make the studio bigger and stronger, let's have a drink!" Han Xiyu shouted.

"Do it!" Li Tianci, who was called out for his emotional problems and was fooling around, quickly changed the subject.

Under the instigation of the two people, everyone picked up their drinks and had a drink, forgetting that they were being lectured about not being serious about their relationship.

"It sounds like "Reply 1997" is also a warm and touching story." Yi Hongling put down her teacup.

"Well, it is in the same vein as "Reply 1988". The style is similar, mainly to reflect resonance, and this kind of warm story can touch people's hearts more and is suitable for broadcast on satellite TV." Xia Haoyang took a sip of the drink and then explained to Yi Hongling.

"Okay, we will film this drama ourselves, and we will invite a bigger star than "1988" to star in it." Juzi is confident.

"This script can be produced without a glittering cast of big names, and even the iconic line of beauties and beauties can be abandoned. The plot of the growth and love history of six ordinary high school students can also be not exciting enough, not bloody enough, and can even be a bit family drama. Nagging." Xia Haoyang smiled.

"Then how will this film make money?" Han Xiyu scratched his head.

The others did not speak, but turned to look at Xia Haoyang to listen to his further explanation.

After a pause, Xia Haoyang continued: "The feeling I want is a youthful nostalgia like the Wanwan film "The Girl We Chased Together". The most important thing is to boil it down to one thing, that is resonance. This is the 6th chapter in the film. It’s 1997 for a high school student, but it’s also 1997, 1998, and 1999 for every viewer. I want everyone to be able to find their own reflections in those years in the film.”

"What Fatty means is that this drama will take a low-cost route, but the script will be well-made, including props, costumes, and makeup? Instead of using it on the actors' remuneration?" Lao Xie listened very seriously.

"Yes, it is a small-budget drama, but I will use "Reply 1997" to prove a truth to everyone: a good story will have strong vitality. It can have no star actors, no big production, and no overwhelming publicity. , but it also has the power to shake people's hearts, can make you cry, make you laugh, make you cherish the present, and also cherish the growing years that created the present."

Xia Haoyang was a little excited.
