It is true that he is wealthy and has no shortage of money, but what he lacks is someone in the industry to guide him. When Cao Shaoyi came to him, he and the coal boss hit it off right away.
Mr. Cao is not as rich as the coal boss, but he understands the twists and turns of the industry!
The first thing Cao Shao did was to replace the makeshift team that originally wanted to cheat the coal boss's money, and introduced them to a more reliable team. Only the original female lead was retained. The entire project was completely changed from top to bottom!
Cao Shao had only one condition, which was to find someone to write a new script and increase Xu Mei's role.
"Nominally, you're still the second female lead, but in reality, we have two female leads. This time, unlike 'Emerald Forest,' we have two true female leads. I personally hired someone to write the script, and the actress they're promoting is a complete newcomer. You've got her way in terms of experience and popularity!"
This is using the coal boss's money to support Xu Mei. Cao Shao's heart is even darker than the replaced makeshift team. At least they want to make money, and will focus on the "female lead" according to the wishes of the financial backer.
Young Master Cao is different. He wants to replace one thing with another!
This approach really moved Xu Mei.
Xu Mei asked Cao Shao who he wanted to ask to write the script.
Cao Shao smiled and said, "As for the screenwriter of 'The Princess's New Clothes', Mr. Yuan was able to bring Li Mengjiao to prominence and sell the rights to the drama for a sky-high price. It must not only be due to Li Mengjiao's popularity."
Li Mengjiao and Xu Mei are both newcomers. Both are singers who have transformed into actors, so their acting skills are definitely not that good.
Of course, it is a fact that Li Mengjiao is more popular than Xu Mei.
But no matter how powerful you are, you can't rely solely on popularity to sell copyrights at such high fees!
What impressed the TV station must be the quality of the drama!
A good screenwriter is one who can write a story, and a god-level screenwriter is one who can tailor a good story for a certain actor - there is no problem with Cao Shao's logic!
The problem is that Cao Shao, Xu Mei, and others all regard Zhang Guangzhen as the god-level screenwriter who made the copyright fee of "The Princess' New Clothes" sky-high.
With the premiere of "The Princess' New Clothes" imminent, Zhang Guangzhen, a teacher in Taiwan, received a job offer from Hunan Province:
"One million to write a book?"
Zhang Guangzhen silently lit a cigarette.
Is the funding for film and television production in mainland China so abundant?
—Is it time for him to follow Yuan Fenghui’s example and live in the mainland permanently?
…………
Small Theater:
Zhang Guangzhen: You may not believe this, but the price of my scripts has suddenly increased! They say I'm a god-level screenwriter, which makes me feel embarrassed.
