"Fu Shan, I've read your script. It's really well-written. The character designs are vivid and lifelike. The plot is also very exciting. If we let Yifei star in this drama, it will definitely bring her career back to its former glory. Maybe, she can even reach a higher level!"
In the dining room, seeing Fu Shan eating heartily, Xu Yifei, who was by his side, occasionally picked up food for him. Jiang Jinsong, who was sitting on the other side, was also not idle, but took the initiative to speak, mentioning the "Legend of the Sword and Fairy" written by Fu Shan.
Hearing Jiang Jinsong's words, Fu Shan just slightly curled his lips and smiled faintly.
Of course.
This was an SSS-grade TV drama script, after all.
If it wasn't good or suitable for Yifei, he wouldn't have brought it out.
"So, Fu Shan, what are your thoughts on this script, or what are your plans?"
Seeing that Fu Shan didn't speak, Jiang Jinsong couldn't help but ask again.
After saying that, he looked at Fu Shan with burning eyes, waiting for his next words.
Fu Shan was the creator of this script, so naturally, he wanted to consult Fu Shan's thoughts and opinions first before discussing anything else.
Unexpectedly, Fu Shan didn't answer directly but asked: "Uncle Jiang, what are your plans?"
Hearing this, Jiang Jinsong smiled and no longer held back. Instead, he told Fu Shan all his plans:
"I plan to take the script and talk to some familiar directors and investors. I believe they'll be interested in our show. What do you think, Fu Shan?"
Fu Shan shrugged his shoulders and smiled indifferently, hearing this:
"Well, you can take care of these things, Uncle Jiang."
He wrote this script originally to help Xu Yifei make a successful comeback. Fu Shan genuinely didn't care about anything else.
Since Jiang Jinsong was willing to step in, why not let him handle it?
Fu Shan might as well be a hands-off manager!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinsong was overjoyed: "Haha, Fu Shan, don't worry! I will definitely find a good director and investor for Yifei, and for our Legend of the Sword and Fairy."
After discussing everything, Jiang Jinsong couldn't sit still any longer.
He immediately bid farewell to the Xu family and went to contact familiar directors and investors.
As he left, Jiang Jinsong was full of confidence and high spirits, looking like he was ready to make a big splash.
However, a week passed.
When Jiang Jinsong visited the Xu family again, his expression was extremely poor.
At that moment, the Xu family was filled with joy.
In the spacious and bright living room, Fu Shan was playing with Yun Duo, Tian Yi, and Tian Yu, the three adorable little ones, along with Xu Yifei. Not far away, Xu's Mother, Li Liling, was sitting on the sofa, casually flipping through a novel while occasionally glancing at the loving interaction of the five family members with a smile. A smile played on her lips.
Jiang Jinsong arrived, looking travel-worn, and Xu Yifei saw him immediately.
At the same time, she also noticed Jiang Jinsong's less-than-pleasant expression, and she already had a vague idea of what was going on. She took the initiative to go forward and greet Jiang Jinsong:
"Uncle Jiang, you're here. Is the preparation for Legend of the Sword and Fairy... not going smoothly?"
It would have been better not to mention it. As soon as Xu Yifei brought it up, Jiang Jinsong's expression became even more unpleasant, even somewhat indignant:
"Don't even mention it! This industry has been messed up by these unscrupulous capitalists. No wonder the TV dramas in recent years have become worse and worse, and harder and harder to watch!"
At this moment, Fu Shan also walked over. Upon hearing Jiang Jinsong's words, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow:
"Uncle Jiang, what makes you say that?"
Seeing Jiang Jinsong's face flush with anger, Fu Shan waved his hand at him and led him toward a sofa: "Uncle Jiang, don't be angry! Let's sit down and talk slowly."
Hearing this, Jiang Jinsong's anger subsided slightly. He followed Fu Shan to the sofa and sat down, then recounted his experiences of the past few days.
It turned out that after hastily leaving the Xu family that day, Jiang Jinsong had successively visited several directors and investors he knew.
He had originally thought that upon seeing the excellent script of Legend of the Sword and Fairy, these directors and investors would be overjoyed.
After all, it was truly a rare and excellent script.
In recent years, it was even a rare sight.
Who knew, those directors and investors weren't very receptive.
When they heard he wanted Xu Yifei to play the female lead, Mo Ling'er, the directors and investors scoffed even more.
Some of them told him directly that this was a world of capital, and Xu Yifei wasn't within the scope of capital's support. Capital only supports those they want to support. If they want to promote someone, they can become popular. If they don't, even if you have talent, looks, and ability, you won't become popular.
Some investors expressed that they could invest in Legend of the Sword and Fairy, and allow Xu Yifei to play Mo Ling'er. However, they would have to add their own artists, and add scenes and change the script.
And, they wanted to drastically change the script.
They wanted to make the original absolute female lead, Mo Ling'er, become a background character with no presence, to set off the artists from the capital side, and then have the capital's artist become the main lead.
In short, they wanted to promote the artists capital wanted to promote, at any cost, with no bottom line.
They even had the attitude of "I am capital, I make the rules."
Whenever he thought about the investors' expressions back then, Jiang Jinsong's face would turn gloomy.
"Uncle Jiang, you've worked hard. Don't take those investors' words to heart."
Hearing Jiang Jinsong's words, Xu Yifei was silent for a moment before gently comforting him.
In recent years, the unhealthy trends in the domestic film and television industry have become increasingly rampant.
Capital dictates the creation of film and television dramas, meddling in the process. They insist on inserting their own people, vying for billing and exposure. In order to increase the screen time of these resource-backed actors who lack talent, acting skills, and even beauty, they drastically alter the plot, showing no respect for the scriptwriters and the entire creative team. This is a common occurrence.
One can only say that in recent years, the atmosphere in the domestic entertainment industry has become increasingly restless and chaotic.
Everyone is not focused on creating good dramas, but rather on how to make money.
To put it bluntly, it's about slacking off and taking easy money.
Thinking of this, Xu Yifei couldn't help but feel disheartened again.
If she were to go with the flow, to become corrupted along with these people and the current state of the industry, she would rather not make a comeback.
Thinking of this, Xu Yifei sighed softly: "If it doesn't work out, I won't make a comeback."
Hearing this, Jiang Jinsong immediately objected:
"How can that be? Yifei, haven't you always loved acting, loved being an actor?"
As he spoke, he began to fidget, suddenly standing up and preparing to rush out the door: "Yifei, don't rush to make a decision, and don't be discouraged. I'll go contact a few more investors. I don't believe it, with such a good script and with you, Yifei, being such an excellent actor, that there won't be someone with a discerning eye to invest in our show."
At this moment, Fu Shan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke:
"Otherwise, let's invest in and film Legend of the Sword and Fairy ourselves."
