Chapter 329: The Great Female Lead’s Revenge is a Refreshing Drama (Ch 329)

Qi Jia came out of the conference room and when he passed the office area, he heard someone calling him from behind.

Turning around, I found that it was Zhang Pan, the copyright director newly recruited by Chen Yuwen.

She is 30 years old this year and has ten years of experience in the industry. Many well-known screenwriters in the circle have worked with her.

“What’s the matter?” Qi Jia asked doubtfully.

“Regarding the purchase of the copyright of the script.” Zhang Pan said, “I found three very good scripts and I want you to take a look.”

When Qi Jia heard that it was about the script, he immediately became interested.

In meeting room 2,

Zhang Pan held three notebooks in his hand, but he did not hand them to Qi Jia immediately. Instead, he said as if to give a shot in advance,

“Boss, these three books may be different from the ones you have read before.

So please, when you watch it, even if you don’t like it at first glance, don’t deny it and watch it to the end.”

Seeing her serious look, Qi Jia couldn’t help but become curious about what kind of script it was that could make Zhang Pan, who had read countless scripts, take it so seriously.

For a moment, Qi Jia was not in a hurry to read the script. He leaned back in his chair and said,

“First, tell me why you chose these three scripts.”

“Because it’s fun,” Zhang Pan gave his answer, saying, “Most of the costume dramas on the market are from the perspective of the male protagonist, but these three scripts are about the revenge of the heroine. Just reading the scripts, I feel so happy that I want to fly. The more I read, the more I like it…”

“Similar to ‘Temptation to Go Home’?”

Speaking of revenge dramas with heroines, this is the first TV series that comes to Qi Jia’s mind.

When the drama was first aired in 2011, it immediately won the domestic TV ratings championship that year.

The female lead Qiu Cixuan won many awards for this drama and became the most familiar Chinese actress to Chinese audiences. She was dubbed the “Goddess of Vengeance”.

Until now, various emoticons and memes derived from this drama are still popular on Tik Tok. You can imagine how popular it is.

Uh, Zhang Pan was stuck for a moment. He frowned and thought seriously for a while before nodding.

“Almost the same, but more exciting than the plot line of Temptation to Go Home!”

This sentence immediately aroused Qi Jia’s interest. He picked up one of the scripts and the title was written on it.

Ink Rain and Clouds

The title of the play reveals the protagonist’s strong feeling of comfort when standing on the top of the mountain after his great revenge.

With great curiosity, Qi Jia opened the script and read it carefully.

This drama tells the story of Xue Fangfei, the wife of the newly crowned number one scholar, who was first framed by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law and had her reputation tarnished.

Then she was taken into the mountains by her beloved husband, Shen Yurong, who was the champion scholar, and was about to bury her alive.

Before he died, he learned from Shen Yurong the sad news that his brother and father had been framed by villains and were dead.

Xue Fangfei, who was buried alive, survived the ordeal. After coming out of the tomb, she met Jiang Li, the daughter of the prime minister, who was also slandered and sent to the Chaste Hall.

Later, Jiang Li was murdered. In order to avenge Jiang Li and herself, Xue Fangfei borrowed Jiang Li’s identity and returned to the capital. With the help of the male lead, Xiao Heng, the Duke of Su,

Gradually, he found out the truth of everything, sought justice for Jiang Li and himself, and made all the evil people who framed himself and Jiang Li receive the punishment they deserved…

It took Qi Jia more than forty minutes to finish reading the script.

Just as Zhang Pan said, the whole script has a compact plot, a brisk pace, and is full of suspense, rebirth, love, revenge and other elements.

After watching it, I only have one feeling in my heart, that is cool!

If this script were to be filmed, it would be a blast in today’s TV drama market!

“Take it, contact the copyright holder as soon as possible, we must get it.”

Without much consideration, Qi Jia directly said to Zhang Pan,

He had decided that the important roles in the script must be played by people from his own studio, and he would consider looking for people from outside for the rest.

“Okay, Brother Qi,” Zhang Pan nodded excitedly and agreed, then went out to make a phone call. Qi Jia was the only one left in the conference room.

He then looked at the other two scripts, namely “Dream of Splendor” and “For the Secret Fragrance”.

The main plot of “Dream of Hualu” is similar to that of “Mo Yu Yun Jian”. Both are about a heroine who, after experiencing a huge change in her life, takes revenge and punishes the evil and the unfaithful man, and ends with a happy ending.

The difference is that while “Dream of Splendor” is exciting, it also has a strong flavor of life in the Song Dynasty.

The screenwriter incorporated a large number of Song Dynasty cultural elements and life scenes, such as food, tea ceremony, clothing, music, occupations, and trade, into the plot.

Qi Jia feels that compared to “Ink Rain and Clouds”, “Dream of Hualu” will be more favored by the government because it is more conducive to spreading China’s excellent historical culture to foreigners.

However, both are good scripts and will definitely be the hit drama of the year when filmed.

The only thing that made him a little undecided was “Because of the Secret Fragrance”.

The story of this script is that the heroine Hua Qian was obsessed with the second male Zhong Yelan before her rebirth. In order to win the second male Zhong Yelan’s heart,

He designed a plan to frame the second male lead’s sweetheart, Mu Yao, but ended up causing his own family to be destroyed.

After her rebirth, she retained the memories of her previous life, gave up her obsession with the second male lead, changed the fate of her family being broken up, and also found her true love.

This ending looks beautiful, but when Qi Jia saw it to the end, he was petrified.

Because, all of this was just a dream of the heroine, and nothing has changed in reality.

The entire family was destroyed because of her wrong choice.

This setting immediately brought Qi Jia’s expectations back to hell, making him want to curse loudly.

As the saying goes, if this drama were to be filmed, it would probably be criticized by the audience.

However, he was reluctant to give up because the first half of the play was so well written.

Especially the sense of brokenness of the heroine. Qi Jia’s first reaction after reading it was that this heroine must be Zhou Ye.

Unable to make up his mind, he decided to call Zhou Ye over and let her make the decision.

By the way, call Zhang Ruonan and let her watch “In the Clouds” and “Dream of Splendor”.

The two came over quickly.

After entering the room, Qi Jia briefly explained the situation to the two of them, then stood up and left the meeting room, leaving them to read the script quietly.

When I went out, I saw the assistant squatting next to the trash can, gnawing on chicken feet, so I walked over.

“What’s your habit? Does it taste better when you eat next to a trash can?” Qi Jia asked curiously.

The assistant rolled her eyes, waved the boneless chicken feet in her hand at him, and threw them into the trash can.

After taking a sip of milk tea, he said, “Do you understand?”

Qi Jia didn’t bother to pay attention to her and asked, “Has the contract been signed?”

The assistant nodded vigorously and pointed in the direction of Chen Yuwen’s office.

“Sister Yuwen is waiting for you in the office.”

“You came just in time.”

Seeing Qi Jia coming in, Chen Yuwen handed him a contract.

“This is the contract we have signed with Dior. Time is tight. You and Ruonan will fly to Chengdu tomorrow to shoot next year’s advertising materials.

It’s expected to be three days, and you’ll be attending the Hundred Flowers Awards on the 25th.”

Qi Jia took the contract and flipped through it. The package price for two people was 30 million per year.

However, this is just the endorsement price. When Dior has an event that requires Qi Jia and Zhang Ruonan to attend, the appearance fee will be negotiated separately.

“Also, the overseas release plan for “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time” that you mentioned to me last time is currently only easier to implement in Japan.

NHK has already responded to me, confirming its intention to purchase the copyright, and will send a representative over in a few days. “

“Can’t it be shown in other regions?” Qi Jia asked curiously.

Chen Yuwen took a sip of water and explained,

“It’s not that we can’t, but we don’t have any familiar local publishers to work with.”

“What should we do then?” Qi Jia frowned and said, “We can’t just release it in Japan when we go overseas, right?”

“I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t be in a hurry.”

As Chen Yuwen spoke, she turned her laptop around, tapped the screen with her diamond-studded nails, and said,

“Participating in the Busan International Film Festival”
