Chapter 106 Script
After finalizing the cooperation intention, Jia Yueting took Xu Kun and Chen Xuebin to the dinner table, where they inevitably talked about the video website.
In fact, Xu Kun also heard it from others, but that was hearsay from the future after all. For Jia Yueting now, it was first-class insight.
Originally, Jia Yueting's statement that he would invest in the TV series because of Xu Kun was just a polite remark, but after drinking together, it seemed like they had met too late.
He even wanted to bring Xu Kun into the game to make it bigger and stronger together.
However, Xu Kun knows his own business. Even though he can fool Jia Yueting with just a few words, those are just second-hand information. If he is really allowed to participate in the company's management, he will be at a loss.
So he firmly expressed his love for acting.
While feeling regretful, Jia Yueting felt that he needed to place a chess piece in the entertainment industry in advance. After all, a person's energy is limited. If he wanted to make his company bigger and stronger, it would be impossible for him to pay attention to the news in the entertainment industry all the time.
So, while he was still a little drunk, Jia Yueting specifically asked Xu Kun and Chen Xuebin: "Which of the two, the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy, is more strictly managed and has less contact with the outside world?"
Chen Xuebin was stunned by the question, thinking that the coal bosses in the past always asked: Which one has more beautiful girls and is easier to approach, the Central Academy of Drama or the Beijing Film Academy? But this Boss Jia actually did the opposite.
But since the big money sponsor asked, Chen Xuebin still answered honestly: "The Central Academy of Drama originally had strict management, but in recent years... I heard that there are teachers who directly go out to seduce female students."
Seeing Jia Yueting frowning, he hurriedly said: "In fact, there is another military art academy in the capital, and the management there should be stricter."
"Military Art?"
Jia Yueting repeated the word, then smiled and said, "Come on, drink, drink."
The three of them were all good at drinking, and they drank from noon until the evening before leaving.
Xu Kun scratched his throat and vomited a lot, then forced himself to call Du Liang.
As a result, when Du Liang heard that the start-up capital had been prepared and the investment was at least 10 million, he immediately became silent and said awkwardly that he actually had average connections in the circle. If he was in a hurry, he would probably have to ask Chairman Liu to do it personally.
Isn't this just a waste of time?
No wonder Hairun dared to cheat him!
Helplessly, Xu Kun had to visit Liu Heng in person the next day and told him about his and Chen Xuebin's plans, Du Liang's promise, Jia Yueting's requirements, and the current situation.
Liu Heng didn't expect that Xu Kun had gotten an investment of 10 million without any clue - although it has not been implemented yet, since the other party has some plan, it should not be empty talk.
"This old Yang."
Liu Heng shook his head helplessly, and then said to Xu Kun: "It happens that we have a meeting in the next two days. It is not easy to find a crew, but our Writers Association is not short of good scripts. You wait, I will spread the word later and I will definitely find a suitable good script for you."
"Director Liu, this is really..."
"Don't be polite."
Liu Heng interrupted Xu Kun and said sincerely, "If it weren't for your help, I would have lost face. Why should I thank you for such a small favor? Besides, many people are worried about not being able to sell their good books. I have found a way for them to sell them."
Xu Kun naturally trusted Liu Heng's promise.
So after leaving Liu's house, he took a bus directly back to his hometown. He contacted Zhang Yong on the way, and went directly to the county government after getting off the bus.
Zhang Yong acted as a guarantor and Xu Kun signed a letter of commitment. The county would naturally not refuse this deal that was sure to make a profit. It was unanimously approved at the Standing Committee meeting and the investment was increased to two million.
The total amount here is 12 million, which is enough to make a medium-budget TV series.
When Xu Kun returned to the capital from his hometown, Liu Heng had also got some results. He said that there was a script that was very suitable for Xu Kun, and the writing style and story were also quite good.
So he planned to let Xu Kun personally contact the screenwriter to see if he was satisfied with the script - but because the Writers Association election was about to be held, he was afraid that he would not be able to spare the time and could not personally act as a matchmaker between the two parties.
The fact that Liu Heng was still thinking of finding a script for himself despite his busy schedule was enough to move Xu Kun. Why would he still demand that Liu Heng be there in person?
He thanked him repeatedly and asked for the screenwriter's contact information.
Actually, there are two screenwriters, one is Chen Luoping and the other is Xu Yiling.
Because of Liu Heng's relationship, after meeting in the teahouse, the two of them readily took out the script for Xu Kun to review. Xu Kun only glanced at it and was stunned.
"Swordsman?"
He raised his head and looked at the two people opposite him with some suspicion.
The two of them looked at Xu Kun in confusion. When their eyes met, Xu Kun couldn't hold back his excitement and asked, "Have you heard of The Legend of Sword and Fairy?"
The two shook their heads at the same time, and then Chen Luoping asked back: "Is it because our script collided with someone else's name?"
Xu Yiling asked suspiciously, "I haven't heard of a TV series with this name?"
"It's not a TV show, it's a computer game."
Seeing the expressions of the two people, Xu Kun knew that it was probably just a coincidence, so he opened the script and began to read its contents.
The content of the story really has nothing to do with The Legend of Sword and Fairy. The reason why it is named "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is because it is a fairy tale story that revolves around a fairy sword.
The general content of the story is: After Qin Shihuang unified the world, he summoned the world's five greatest swordsmiths, spent ten years to forge a magic sword, and wanted to use it to rule the world forever.
As a result, the day when the magic sword was completed happened to be the day when Qin Shi Huang passed away.
The immortal sword that lost its owner stirred up a monstrous sword energy in the Qin Palace and disappeared since then.
For hundreds of years thereafter, rumors about the magic sword continued to circulate in the martial arts world, causing countless disputes.
One day, King Abila, the leader of the Blood Moon Cult, learned that one of the 'Five Immortal Swords' related to the Immortal Sword was hidden in the Tang family, so he sent Hei Qiling, one of the four guardians, to seize it.
The entire Tang family was killed, and only the heroine Tang Ruoxuan escaped by chance. She was rescued by the hero Xiao Ting who arrived in time. For revenge and justice, the two decided to stop the Blood Moon Cult from obtaining the magic sword.
Xiao Ting was originally a blind swordsman. Later, with the help of Tang Ruoxuan, his eyes were healed, and the two gradually became each other's lovers.
But in fact, Xiao Ting is King Abila, the leader of the Blood Moon Cult. He stays with Tang Ruoxuan just to take the opportunity to get the magic sword.
In order to achieve his goal, he acted upright and righteous, and was not afraid to kill his own men. He behaved more like a knight than a real knight.
So much so that even Master Pingjing, who was hostile to him and hoped that Tang Ruoxuan would obey her parents' wishes and marry the second male lead Gu Hanyang, felt that 'Xiao Ting' was the best choice to lead the martial arts world and fight against the Blood Moon Cult.
Finally, Xiao Ting got the magic sword as he wished, and then he revealed his identity as King Abila in public.
In response to Tang Ruoxuan's questioning, he simply blinded himself again, saying that no one could stop him from dominating the world, not even the woman he loved most.
In the end, in order to save the second male lead Gu Hanyang and the second female lead Huang Xiang, Tang Ruoxuan took the initiative to face the magic sword in the hands of King Abila [Xiao Ting].
When she was dying, she told King Abila [Xiao Ting] that she was actually pregnant with King Abila's child, so King Abila's sword killed not only her, but also his own flesh and blood.
Taking advantage of King Abila's confusion, Tang Ruoxuan used up her last bit of strength, hugged the murderer of her father and the love of her life, and jumped off the cliff together, fulfilling the promise they made when they first fell in love: live and die together.
Seeing this, Xu Kun finally understood why Liu Heng said that the male lead of this drama was very suitable for him.
The male protagonist of this drama is actually the villain of the whole drama, and he is the kind of villain who is completely evil and will never be redeemed.
Unlike many stupid dramas, the hero of this drama can abandon the woman he loves most in order to dominate the world, and he has no intention of repenting at all.
In order to seek revenge and justice, the heroine was willing to die together with her own child and the man she loved most.
This kind of character with a split personality, who is both good and evil, is perfect for Xu Kun to play!
As for the blind setting...
It just so happened that the "determination" look in his eyes was not practiced well enough, and after a while he looked like a blind person with astigmatism.
This is simply a script tailor-made for him!
