Chapter 74 How can it be called "Forensic Qin Ming" without Qin Ming?
The next two days were still busy with script reading. In addition to communication during the day, the evenings were also busy. However, there was no "booking" situation like Li Yitong before.
Zhu Xudan also wanted to find Meng Bai the next night, and she washed her hair and put on makeup in advance. However, when she changed her clothes and went to Meng Bai's room, she found that this place had basically become a public discussion area, which made the little girl depressed for a long time.
A few days passed in a flash. On May 15th, the crew of "Psychological Crime" officially started filming.
Meng Bai stayed in the crew for a week, and when he saw that everyone was almost getting along, he left Blue Island.
However, he did not return to Beijing North, but turned around and headed southwest.
Anhui Province, Provincial Public Security Department Physical Evidence Identification Center.
In the quiet and cold forensic identification room, a middle-aged man of medium height and round figure was wearing an isolation suit, carefully observing several reagent tubes on the table.
After a long while, after seeing the expected reaction in the reagent tube, he relaxed his frown and stood up to stretch his neck.
It was also a coincidence that just as he finished, there was a knock on the door outside the examination room. Then, a young assistant walked in: "Qin Ke, there is a person outside who said he was from a film and television company. He said he had an appointment with you."
"Film and television company?" "Qin Ke" was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that a company called Arc Light Film and Television contacted him a few days ago and wanted to discuss cooperation.
"Xiao Wang, take him to my office to sit down first, and tell him that I will come over after I change my clothes."
After quickly changing his clothes and washing his hands carefully, "Qin Ke" walked out of the examination room. Pushing open the door of the office, he saw a young man standing in the room, looking at the materials and books on his bookshelf with curiosity.
Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, Meng Bai turned around and saw "Qin Ke" standing at the door. He smiled and walked forward and stretched out his hand, saying, "Hello, Section Chief Qin Ming. I am Meng Bai from Arc Light Films. I have contacted you before."
Qin Ming was stunned when he saw Meng Bai's hand, but he quickly reacted and shook hands with the other party, and then couldn't help laughing.
Seeing Meng Bai looking at him in confusion, he hurriedly explained, "Sorry, some professional habits, we don't usually shake hands with others."
Meng Bai suddenly realized that indeed, the group of forensic doctors often carries some "mystery" and "death" in the minds of ordinary people, and it is inevitable that many people will unconsciously want to stay away from them.
"I like your personal signature on Weibo, Qin Ke, 'Speak for the dead, for the rights of the living'. They are all protectors of the lives and safety of the masses. I don't think there are any 'taboos' for forensic doctors." Meng Bai said with a smile.
"That's no wonder. I was wondering before, what kind of person would want to make a film and television drama with forensic doctors as the protagonist." Qin Ming said.
When Meng Bai talked about the planning of the "Green Ivy Series" on Heleshi.com, he proposed five protagonist settings in different criminal investigation directions. Among these five types, except for "detective" and "traditional criminal investigation", the remaining three settings are not very common in previous domestic dramas.
And these three uncommon types include the "forensic doctor" that is the most common but also the most unfamiliar to many criminal investigation audiences.
In fact, to be honest, the profession of "forensic doctor" should be considered a popular theme in criminal investigation dramas. "Bones", "Blood Forensic Doctor", "Forensic Files", "Forensic Pioneer"... Many of these familiar drama titles are everyone's initial enlightenment to the profession of "forensic doctor".
However, these are basically American dramas, Japanese dramas or old TVB dramas. The only drama in the mainland film and television industry that seriously uses forensic doctors as the protagonists is "The Great Song Dynasty Judge".
The reason why no one filmed it is very simple. The most common "work objects" of forensic doctors are various corpses, body parts, and skeletons. It doesn't matter if they are just mentioned in ordinary criminal investigation dramas, but if these scenes appear in large parts as the protagonists, the censorship hat of "excessive bloodiness" will definitely not be shaken off.
"So when you first contacted me, I was very surprised. Can a forensic doctor as the protagonist really pass the review?" Qin Ming asked doubtfully.
Meng Bai said: "Teacher Qin, have you watched the web drama?"
"I have heard of it, but I haven't paid much attention to it."
"Actually, web series are the same as TV series, except that they are broadcast on video websites, so the censorship is much less stringent. For example, our first series Soul Ferry is a horror-themed work." Meng Bai emphasized, "It's a real ghost-themed work."
Qin Ming understood immediately after hearing this. If you can even have a "ghost", what else do you need from a forensic doctor's "bloodiness"?
"Then can I ask, how do you want to cooperate with me?" Qin Ming said: "If you just want to find a career guide, there should be many forensic doctors who are more convenient, right?"
"There are indeed many convenient forensic doctors, but there are not many forensic doctors who can tell stories." Meng Bai took out his mobile phone, opened Weibo and followed it, and showed it to Qin Ming: "Teacher Qin, I am also your old reader."
"Ah, this." Qin Ming pushed his glasses awkwardly: "It's just some case records, which can be regarded as a popular science for the public about the forensic profession. It can't be called a story."
"The truth is the most powerful. This is the creative concept my screenwriter teacher told us in class." Meng Bai said: "Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. In addition to being a producer of a film and television company, I am also a screenwriter. My main direction is criminal investigation and crime reasoning."
"Then we are half colleagues." Qin Ming smiled.
Meng Bai told him about his ideas. First of all, he wanted to invite him to be a guide for future script creation and filming to help the crew avoid some professional mistakes.
In addition, because the project of this forensic drama will not be launched until next year at the earliest, he wants to invite Qin Ming to work with him. One of them will come up with the main plot and characters, and the other will be responsible for the professional content. The two will jointly create a forensic novel.
There are several advantages to doing this. First, the novel and the drama have the same name, which can be regarded as a preheating; second, it can be regarded as cultivating the audience group and doing a publicity and popular science.
As for whether the novel can be sold...
How to say it, strictly speaking, this is actually a promotion of a new project. Leshi.com and its cooperating publishers will definitely promote it.
And taking a step back, it can be seen from Qin Ming's Weibo account with more than 200,000 fans that there are actually quite a few readers who are interested in forensic themes. As long as the content is well written, people will naturally accept it.
"Novels..." When the topic was brought up, Qin Ming pushed his glasses again: "I have also considered before, integrating those individual stories posted on Weibo into a complete series, so I have actually sorted some of them before."
Qin Ming took out a USB flash drive from the drawer and plugged it into the computer, then opened a document and said: "Teacher Meng, you can take a look."
Meng Bai came to the computer and first glanced at the title, "The Eleventh Finger".
"This is a sentence that my professional tutor said to us when I was in school." Qin Ming explained: "The anatomical scalpel used by forensic doctors is equivalent to our extra finger, and we also use it to find the truth."
Meng Bai nodded and took a rough look at the specific content. Compared with the small paragraphs on Weibo before, although it is still a unit story, each paragraph has added a lot of details and plots, and there are also specific characters.
It should be said that this is actually a very complete novel.
"Has Teacher Qin ever thought about publishing it?" Meng Bai asked.
"Several publishing companies have contacted me, but firstly, the first book has not been completed yet, and secondly, I am a little worried about the opinions of the leaders of the unit. After all, the subject of forensics is still somewhat sensitive, and many of my works are based on real cases. I don't know if there will be any controversy." Qin Ming said.
Meng Bai pondered and said, "It's actually okay to use real cases as the material. We can just make some major adaptations later. As for the opinions of the department, I can communicate with the publicity and cultural tourism departments of our province. This is actually also a promotion of our work. As long as no specific names of people or places appear, they are generally happy to see it happen."
"If it's possible, that would be the best." Qin Ming was also very excited about this. After all, it is the wish of every creator to have a larger platform to showcase their works.
