Entertainment: I am a star among stars!

A few days later, Lin Xingchen approached his mentor, Mr. Zhang, with the script of"Soul Ferry".

Zhang Xiaomin is a national first-class actor. In 2000, she was transferred to the Acting Department of Shanghai Theater Academy to teach in the acting major. She was the lead teacher and thesis advisor for Lin Xingchen and others in the 06-level acting major.

"Teacher Zhang, I have written a script for a web drama and would like your feedback."

Lin Xingchen got straight to the point.

"Okay, you sit down for a while."

Zhang Xiaomin glanced at Lin Xingchen in surprise, and then took the script handed over by Lin Xingchen with a smile.

Zhang Xiaomin was quite satisfied with Lin Xingchen, a student who was open-minded, studious, hard-working, and had good understanding, and seemed to regard him as his own. A direct disciple.

The only thing that made her feel a little pity was that Lin Xingchen was too ambitious and was not willing to be just an actor.

At first, Zhang Xiaomin would persuade Lin Xingchen from time to time not to aim too high, but Lin Xingchen used practical actions to He told her that he was not shouting slogans in vain, but was actually working towards his goal.

In the past two years, Lin Xingchen asked Zhang Xiaomin to review many scripts he created and short films he shot. Although the details were has many flaws, but Zhang Xiaomin got a glimpse of Lin Xingchen's talent and talent in directing.

Every time Zhang Xiaomin gave advice, Lin Xingchen quickly learned lessons and delivered a better work next time, with a huge improvement. It was shocking.

Zhang Xiaomin occasionally lamented in private that Lin Xingchen was simply being chased by God to feed him. In the future, he would definitely become a glory that the theater would be proud of.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaomin often gave Lin Xingchen a small chance to do his best. Do your best to guide Lin Xingchen and pave the bumpy road.

……

《Xia Dongqing, the male protagonist of"Soul Ferry", grew up in an orphanage. He has an unknown secret in his body, that is, he has a pair of yin and yang eyes and can see and communicate with ghosts.

In order to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, Xia Dongqing looked for work everywhere, and finally was accepted by a convenience store called No. 444 one day and became a night shift salesperson.

However, Xia Dongqing didn't know that this convenience store was at the junction of two different latitude spaces and was actually a"soul station" where dead souls went to the land of hell for reincarnation.

Zhao Li, the manager of convenience store No. 444, his true identity is the"Soul Ferryman", a civil servant in the underworld. He has been stationed here for five hundred years, greeting people every day and guiding souls to the world they should go to..

Xia Dongqing and Wang Xiaoya, a girl with a straightforward personality, witnessed a supernatural incident in a convenience store and helped those souls who were stranded in the world due to unresolved matters to go to the underworld.

"This script is quite interesting. It reminds me of"Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". It uses ghosts to talk about human affairs. It grasps the balance between"thriller" and"positive energy" very well, and makes"thriller" sublime into social significance."

Zhang Xiaomin read the script several times and gave a very high evaluation.

Blindly sensationalizing and preaching can easily bore the audience, but Lin Xingchen set up many clever suspense and twists in the story, combining entertainment attributes with The social significance is well balanced, neither empty and shallow nor too heavy and boring.

"The main line of the story is relatively thin at present, and it is not until the end that the tip of the iceberg of the grand worldview is revealed. There should be a sequel in the future, right?"

Zhang Xiaomin immediately realized that the main plot of the story has not yet been fully unfolded.

"According to my initial conception, these 20 episodes are only the first season, and there will be at least three more seasons to follow." Lin Xingchen nodded.

In his memory, there are only scenes from the three seasons of"Soul Ferry" and a big movie.

As for the subsequent fourth season, he can't even remember a single fragment.

Lin Xingchen is not satisfied with this. I am very concerned that with the rapid development of the Internet, corresponding rectification and regulation are imperative, and the creative freedom of online dramas will inevitably be restricted.

《The quality and reputation of"Soul Ferry" are on the decline, and it is foreseeable that one season will not be as good as the other.

When the filming of the third season is completed, even if the fourth season can continue to be filmed under the prevailing circumstances, the filmed content will most likely not satisfy the audience, completely smashing the"Soul Ferry" brand.

It would be better to leave it at that and leave the audience with a thought.

Ahem, I really can't do it, so I have no choice but to blame my good brother Li Jiahang for taking the blame.

He's a big star, he's worth a lot, he has a busy schedule, so he can't even entertain a small online drama!

Fans don’t want a major change in the starring cast, right? OK, then just wait and shoot again when I have the opportunity in the future.

"How much did it cost to film the show? Do you need the teacher to help you find a way to organize the game?"Zhang Xiaomin asked with concern

"I made a rough estimate and found that the production cost of each episode would not exceed 100,000 yuan. The shooting cost of the first season could be controlled within 2 million yuan, which I could raise by myself."

Lin Xingchen clapped his fingers and said slowly.

When Zhang Xiaomin heard this, he almost lost his grip on the script in his hand. He looked at Lin Xingchen and said in wonder:"I didn't see it before, Lin Xingchen, you are still a hidden rich second generation, so casually. Then you can spend 2 million for investment"

"Wherever I go, my family is just an ordinary family in Shanghai. I was lucky enough to lose a dozen or so apartments in the demolition. I have two properties in my own name. If I take one out and mortgage it with a bank, I should be able to get a loan of several million."

Ordinary family? A suite of ten or so?!!!

Zhang Xiaomin, who is usually a role model, couldn't hold back and rolled her eyes.

Oh, is she worrying blindly? How can a worker deserve to feel sorry for the landlord's son-in-law?

"Teacher Zhang, the investment problem is easy to solve, but setting up the crew is the difficult problem. It would be great if the school could make it easier and provide some support."

Lin Xingchen didn't hide it, put his hands together and asked Zhang Xiaomin.

"This opportunity to join a group is also a valuable practice for students. I mentioned to the dean that there should be many students as volunteers."

Zhang Xiaomin agreed without saying a word.

"Well, they are all our classmates who went to the theater. How can we be embarrassed to let them work for free? Just pay according to the market price."

Lin Xingchen will not waste where he can save, and he will not be stingy where he should not save.

Of course, not everyone would be unhappy with asking his classmates to be volunteers and work for him in vain, but After all, you owe a favor.

The most difficult thing to repay is a debt of favor!

"Okay, you can figure it out yourself! Zhang Xiaomin once again brought the topic back to the script,"Do you have a suitable candidate for the iron triangle of this drama, which is the three main roles of Xia Dongqing, Zhao Li, and Wang Xiaoya?""

"I play Zhao Li, Xia Dongqing and I have booked Li Jiahang. As for Wang Xiaoya, I don’t have a clue yet. Lin Xingchen replied

"Xia Dongqing, the protagonist, was more positioned as a tool man in the script of the first season, but was not as good as Zhao Li, the second male lead, who had more room to perform."

Zhang Xiaomin has a sophisticated eye, and he immediately guessed Lin Xingchen's thoughts.

After Lin Xingchen's slight modification, the character of Zhao Li has a more three-dimensional image, and the depth that can be explored is greatly increased.

Lin Xingchen is confident, and the Zhao Li he performed , the charm is still superior to that of the protagonist Xia Dongqing.
