A lovely little sister was added to Professor Yoon's family. Three-year-old Joon-hee and his father went to the nursery to see his sister Eun-hee. When the nurse was not paying attention, the naughty Joon-hee swapped the sign of Eun-hee and the neighboring child born on the same day. In this way, the children of the two families were swapped by accident.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed, and Joon-hee had grown into a handsome boy. His excellent painting skills had made him an influential figure in school. The 14-year-old Eun-hee was smart and cute, and was deeply loved by her family.
Brother Joon-hee dotes on his sister Eun-hee, and the two siblings have a deep relationship.
Mother Kyung-ho's care and care for her only daughter is even more obvious. A generous family environment, a gentle and careful mother, and an excellent brother, all these make Eun-hee the object of envy of her friends at school.

The paper is ordinary A4 paper, and the normal price is 5 cents. The Song typeface printed by the laser is very high DPI, and every stroke is very clear. The typesetting is also very regular and rigorous, making people feel comfortable looking at it.
The outline of the script was about five thousand words long, and it filled five sheets of paper. Compared to the story itself, the cost of paper and printing was negligible.
As the business manager of Qiande Brothers Pictures Company, there are many scripts that have passed through Lu Yi's hands.
He deeply understands the value of a good script.
Lu Yi was one of the founding members of the Qiande Brothers Pictures Company. He had followed Zhang Qian and Zhang De to conquer the world together. He had gone through hardships to the present in the capital city, a place of dragons and tigers. His experience and vision were not lacking.
The name of the script given to him by Lu Chen is "Autumn in My Heart". From the name, one can tell that it is an urban romance drama. Since Lu Chen is going to play the male lead, he must take the route of a youth idol.
The beginning of the story is very interesting. The two girls were swapped at birth, and their fate will inevitably arouse the strong interest of the audience.
As a business manager, Lu Yi naturally knows the company's business like the palm of his hand. Out of the needs of his work, he has seen at least thousands of movies and TV plays, and he has no impression that the same plot has been filmed.
As a weekend play, the beginning has an attractive selling point.
At present, the domestic film and television industry was developing rapidly, and the fever of IP was not subsiding. The great prosperity of the market also brought many problems, such as repetitive themes, imitation, plagiarism, and so on.
If a TV series was a hit, imitators would definitely flock to it until a similar story pattern was completely ruined. The country's intellectual property laws did not have strict regulations on imitators, and there was no way to restrict them. They could only let the market mediate itself.
Therefore, with a good story idea, it was equivalent to winning half the battle.
Lu Yi was quite optimistic about Lu Chen's story.
But as he continued to read, he soon understood why Zhu Minghe was not interested in the script.
What a sadistic love!
Such a style could be said to go against the trend and challenge the audience's taste.
Generally speaking, if the quality of this kind of countercurrent work was guaranteed, it would either be a huge hit or a huge failure!
The probability of the latter was much higher than the former.
It wasn't that there weren't any film companies and directors who courted death, but they basically failed miserably.
After so many years of development, the positioning of the TV series market was already very clear.
The current youth idol dramas took the route of comedy, farce, and thunder.
If you want to shoot a sadistic love story, then shoot a middle-aged drama!
If you want to cross the line, you must have the awareness of failure and losing everything.
After reading the outline seriously, Lu Yi felt a toothache.
The risk was too great. Shooting this show was like gambling. If he won the gamble, he could make a lot of money. If he lost the gamble …
The reason why Lu Yi didn't give up immediately was that, first of all, this was a weekend show, and the cost was easy to control. The method of shooting and broadcasting at the same time would not result in a situation where no one would care about it after shooting dozens of episodes.
It was like writing an online novel. If the subscription was too low, it could be finished in advance – of course, it definitely couldn't be left unfinished.
In addition, the male lead, Lu Chen, was still very selling.
Manager Lu's entanglement, Lu Chen clearly saw it and said with a wry smile, "I know, this theme is not easy to shoot."
He also regretted that he didn't have a deep understanding of the domestic film and TV market before writing the script.
If he had known that such a situation would happen, it would have been better to write "You from the Star". The production cost might be much higher, but at least it would be easy to find collaborators.
However, the thought of regret only flashed in Lu Chen's mind. If no one was willing to invest in it, it was not a big deal for him to fully invest himself – of course, this approach would lead to a Big increase in cost and risk, and it was the last choice as a last resort.
Lu Yi said with a smile, "The theme is a bit different, and the story is really good. I think girls should like it."
After a pause, he asked, "Mr. Lu Chen, if our company cooperates with you, what requirements do you have?"
Lu Yi had just heard some of the dialogue between Lu Chen and Zhu Minghe, but he didn't hear it very clearly.
Lu Chen thought about it and replied, "The requirement is joint investment. I can convert the script and remuneration into shares, and I don't ask for extra payment. In addition, the female lead has been determined, and I hope to recommend a director. Of course, the choice of director can be discussed again."
It was the most common way to invest in films and TV series with multiple parties. Of course, Lu Yi would not have any objection, and Lu Chen converting the script and remuneration into investment was also beneficial to the film and television production company, reducing the investment risk.
It was just that Lu Chen not only wanted the male lead, but also the female lead and the director …
He couldn't help frowning like Zhu Minghe and asked, "Mr. Lu Chen, which director do you want to recommend?"
Lu Chen said frankly, "Do you know Director Fang Hui? I want to recommend her. "
Fang Hui was a well-known director in China. She was famous in the circle for shooting films and dramas that expressed women's delicate emotions. She had also shot many music videos and had extremely rich experience.
Compared with the real big stars, she didn't have big sales and popular works, but her reputation had always been very good.
The last time Lu Chen and MSN shot the music video of "Not Yet Lovers", the director was Fang Hui.
The final effect of this music video was excellent, and it was played by Flying Stone Records in major media. Therefore, the album sold so well on QQ Music. At present, the crowdfunding for the CD and peripherals was also in full swing.
It was through this cooperation that Lu Chen had a very good impression of Fang Hui, and the two had a lot of communication. He believed that the latter could fully control the story and produce the effect he wanted.
Otherwise, why would Lu Chen insist on this condition?
"Director Fang Hui!"
Lu Yi suddenly said, "I know her. Although I haven't worked together before, I've watched the TV series she made."
Lu Yi thought about it carefully. Lu Chen's recommendation was not unreasonable and reliable.
Because Fang Hui's shooting style was very suitable for this "Autumn in My Heart".
Lu Chen explained, "In fact, I haven't mentioned this to Director Fang yet, and I don't know if she has time, so it's just a recommendation. If you have a better candidate, it can also be discussed."
He originally wanted to discuss it with Zhu Minghe of Baolong Pictures, but the other party didn't give him a chance at all.
Lu Yi looked more sincere.
Lu Yi said with a smile, "Well, let's put this problem aside first. Who are you going to choose as the female lead?"
There was a rule in the film and television circle, that was, the investment was the biggest, and the one who paid the most money was the master. Whoever paid the most money was the master and would inevitably have the greatest right to speak.
Lu Chen wanted both the male lead and the female lead. First of all, he had to invest. Otherwise, who would pay attention to the script alone?
Lu Yi was very curious about the choice of the female lead.
Who was Lu Chen trying to support?
He had finished reading the outline. The female lead in the play was undoubtedly the most brilliant and core character.
An artist like Lu Chen, who became famous at a young age, also had money. If he wanted to please a girl, what could be more romantic and touching than letting her be the female lead in a TV series?
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Chen Fei 'er."
"Chen Fei 'er …"
Lu Yi subconsciously read the name.
The next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his face showed a look of disbelief: "Which Chen Fei 'er is it?"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "The one you can think of."
Lu Yi was directly stunned.
He was also a shrewd and shrewd person, and rarely lost his composure like this.
The news revealed by Lu Chen was really too shocking.
Who was Chen Fei 'er? She was a big star in the circle with tens of millions of fans, the Heavenly Queen of the music industry who had debuted for more than ten years!
But Lu Yi quickly came to his senses and was so happy that his face turned into a chrysanthemum.
If he had only two or three points of confidence in this TV series before, then now it had soared to seven or eight points.
A TV series or a movie, whether or not there was a big star in it was a completely different thing. Although Chen Fei 'er was not an actor, she had also made cameo appearances in several blockbusters.
If what Lu Chen said was true, then this show would be Chen Fei 'er's first time as the female lead. There would be a gimmick for hype. At least there would be no problem in selling it. It was nothing more than a matter of price.
With the addition of Chen Fei 'er, the biggest problem of "Autumn in My Heart" was weakened. As long as her fans could watch it, the ratings would be basically guaranteed.
She was equivalent to a heavy weight, enough to be the key to victory.
If Qian De Brothers Pictures could take over the production of this show, there would be too many benefits.
Even if they lost money, it was not impossible to consider!
How could Zhu Minghe of Baolong Pictures miss this opportunity?
The only answer could only be that the other party didn't talk to Lu Chen about this issue and gave up.
Then Qian De Brothers must not miss it!
He really wanted to laugh, and was undoubtedly glad that he had enough patience and sincerity.
Lu Yi restrained his inner excitement and couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Lu Chen, on behalf of Qian De Brothers Pictures, I hope to have a formal discussion with you about the cooperation of" Autumn in My Heart "!"
Lu Chen pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay."
He found that he really underestimated the influence of Chen Fei 'er. If he had said it when talking to Baolong Pictures, it was estimated that Zhu Minghe's attitude would have been different.
Of course, Lu Chen was just thinking about it.
Qian De Brothers Pictures might be a good choice.
