Let's talk about the production process of American dramas.

First get a script out and put it on a special bidding platform, the object is a TV station or website. If you like your script, I'll shoot a trial episode first.

The pilot response was good, and the contract for another season was signed.

There are bad dramas in the United States, but the average level is higher, and it is because of this system. Korean dramas are even more awesome, and the screenwriter has the most power in the world.

What is the domestic system?

Compared with movies, the policy of TV dramas is very relaxed. For example, if you set up a project, you don't need a complete script, you can get a 2,000-word outline and pass it.

So a situation was created: I made a synopsis, finished the project, talked about a few celebrities, and then went directly to the TV station or website.

As soon as the platform looks at it, there is no problem with the general direction of the story, and the star is also popular, so it is possible to sign a pre-purchase contract. In other words, I don't even have a script, and the play has already been sold.

Then take the pre-purchase contract to talk about investment, and the money is there.

Then I made money and the drama was sold, why bother polishing the script?

From the 90s to the early 2000s, it was the golden age of domestic TV dramas. In the future, the film and television industry will be entertained, and there will be more and more local money, and it is this kind of loophole that is exploited.

So much so that bad dramas flew together.

It wasn't until 2020 that radio and television issued regulations for online dramas, online movies, and online cartoons: the project must be approved with a complete script.

WHY？

If you don't understand this, why don't you include all the works?

Let's talk about the domestic film and television company model, taking Huayi as an example.

Zhang Jinglin and Wang Jinghua were classmates at the China Academy of Drama and introduced her to Suyue Company. Wang Jinghua started with Su Yue and worked as a singer agent in the early days.

Later, he became an actor agent and opened a company.

In 2000, Huayi signed a "Five-Five Contract" with her, that is, Wang Jinghua was in Huayi for five years, fully responsible for artist brokerage affairs, and the income was divided into 55 percent.

Hu Jun, Shuangbing, they are all red during this period.

After the expiration of the period, Wang Jinghua led more than a dozen of its stars to join Orange Sky Entertainment, becoming a major earthquake in the entertainment industry. Huayi learned a lesson, began internal reform, and implemented a large-scale organization system.

Divided into four groups, each group is led by a big agent, a number of stars. Each group is responsible for its own profits and losses, and at the same time is responsible for the company's earnings.

In the same year that Wang Jinghua jumped ship, Yang Siwei entered the internship of Orange Sky Entertainment, and did marketing and publicity for Zuo Xiaoqing, Kong Wei, Tong Dawei, etc.

Once, Fan Xiaopang and Kong Wei participated in an event, and Yang Siwei sent a press release, allowing Kong Weiyan to suppress Fan Xiaopang.

After that, Xiaopang threw an olive branch, but people didn't agree.

In 2008, Xiaopang opened his own studio, and Yang Siwei cooperated with him and became the famous Yang Tianzhen, known as the "head coach of 800 marketing"!

Fan Ye's character is her handwriting.

Later, Huayi went public. Zhou Yanxi founded Xitian, Du Hua founded Lehua, and there is also a veteran Hairun ...... The northern system has divided its territory and set up its own hills.

What does that mean?

Wang Jinghua and Yang Tianzhen are all agents or promoters.

From the classical era when they relied on works to the Internet era when they relied on traffic, several generations of agents have laid down their own entertainment in different ways.

Before Xu Fei, he mainly established scripts, but now, he emphasizes the existing brokerage system.

He will never hand over power to an agent, and the artist contract is all in Xiao Xu's hands. The media has a special department, which is responsible for the positioning and promotion of artists and work negotiations.

The agent just took it to work.

Of course, there is no way to do personal emotions, people think that Sister Hua is good, so there is no problem.

............

"Is there any other play in the actor's hands?"

"Mr. Zhiwen has two film appointments, "Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West" and "No Regrets Tracking", both of which are produced by the Art Center. Lin Leyi said.

"Well, I am the director of "Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West", and Lao Zheng personally approached me, so it's hard to refuse. Zhao Baogang touched his nose.

"You make two dramas a year?"

"I'll shoot the company first, and I'm not in a hurry over there. ”

"Anyway, you can coordinate it yourself, is there anything else?"

"Book of Swords and Enmity" is looking for Xiaoying to play Li Yuanzhi. ”

"Tsk, why did you hit a piece......"

Xu Fei frowned, and then asked, Zhang Guoli, Zhang Jiayi, Liang Tian, etc. all have film appointments, but they have never heard of it.

"That's right, next year we will make five dramas, and the movies will be counted separately.

First of all, "Gan Nineteen Sisters", in cooperation with Qilutai, don't say much.

"A Stormy Affair", adapted by Hai Yan himself, I want Guan Hu to direct. Guan Hu is a graduate of Nortel's directing department and has made a movie "Hair is Messy", with little experience, but I think it is very suitable for this drama.

"That Summer", I personally wrote this outline as the boss, and there was a director named Zhang Yang in Beijing Film Studio, who was responsible for filming and perfecting the script with several graduates. ”

“......”

Everyone rolled their eyes, anyway, you have the final say.

Anyway, you can always get someone out of the corner.

We don't know where you found it, anyway.

"The First Half of My Life", which was also adapted by several graduates, was directed by Lao Zhao. ”

"Hey, isn't it "Tsing Yi"?" Zhao Baogang was surprised.

"I think about it, it's better for you to make this one, and this one is a little more commercial. ”

"No, I can also play art, pure art! I'm running for "Tsing Yi" ......"

Da Gangzi couldn't understand, and said angrily: "Who do you give "Tsing Yi" to? You say one, say one!"

"Huang Shuqin. ”

Ga!

Da Gangzi stopped talking, bullying people!

Huang Shuqin, a representative of the fourth generation of directors. works include "Siege", "Long Live Youth", "Human Ghost Love", etc., as well as a TV series "Debt", which should be familiar to the audience in the magic capital.

"Beautiful Xishuangbanna, can't keep my father, Shanghai is so big, is there a ...... for my home"

It's still a word written by Li Chunbo.

Huang Shuqin has a unique perspective and delicacy of women, and is very good at emotional drama and creating the atmosphere of the times.

"That's probably it, this should be the last TV series I followed, let a few producers try their hand, and other than that, according to the new rules.

This is followed by the casting work, and strive to be finalized before the Spring Festival. ”

“......”

Everyone calculated the time, and during the Spring Festival in February, the casting of five dramas was completed in more than a month.

Anyway, you have the final say.

Anyway, you can always get someone out of the corner.

We don't know where you found it, anyway.

"By the way, two more things. ”

Xu Fei finally added, "One recruits, more college students." Today's college students are not like the iron rice bowl in the past, young people are active and like new things.

Check with the school to see if you can hold a job fair.

In addition, we will continue to increase our production volume in the future, and I plan to contact various provincial stations to form a theater alliance. We supply the works, they provide the platform, the unified simulcast.

Just know it in your heart, don't talk about it.

Don't dare to talk about monopolizing good dramas, set a small goal first, a quarter. ”

"Adjournment!"
