Chapter 521: Doubting Chen Ping's ability
After half a month of intense creation, the whole script was finally freshly released.
After completing this script, the entire screenwriting team was almost so tired that everyone was out of shape, not only them, but even Chen Ping had a little haggard on his face. In order to create this script, Chen Ping and the entire screenwriting team have almost exhausted their efforts.
After all, if you want to create a complete script, it is normally the main screenwriter who creates the overall framework of the script. The screenwriting team is just polishing the overall framework to a certain extent.
However, in the process of writing the script of the movie Crazy Stone, Chen Ping's role is completely incomparable to that of a real screenwriter. Strictly speaking, Chen Ping and the entire screenwriting team can combine to achieve the role of the main screenwriter alone. The most important screenwriting team not only needs to play the role of editor-in-chief, but they also need to complete the work that their own screenwriting team normally needs to complete throughout the creative process of the script.
In other words, the entire screenwriting team is shouldering the two most important tasks at the same time, and the workload has increased several times at once. As for Chen Ping, although he has a complete memory of this movie in his mind. It's just that through such memories, the movie script can be deduced backwards and put on paper, which is not a simple matter.
What's more, Chen Ping himself has no professional screenwriting knowledge at all, and there are many times when 1+1 is not equal to 2, and it is even likely to be less than one. In the process of writing the script of this film, this aspect is reflected. Chen Ping and a whole team of screenwriters may not be as effective as a real screenwriter.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Ping, who plays a leading role, consumes even more time and energy than the members of the screenwriting team. It's just that Chen Ping is young, and his physical and psychological qualities are far beyond ordinary people. It is precisely because of this that Chen Ping was able to persist in the intense creative process of half a month. Otherwise, if an ordinary person is replaced to do Chen Ping's work, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold on for such a long time.
After completing the creation of this script, the whole team of screenwriters was like a dream, although everyone was tired, but every screenwriter began to carefully review the script from beginning to end. As members of the screenwriting team, although their level is not comparable to the top domestic screenwriters, they can be regarded as professional talents.
From their professional point of view, although the script of this movie still has many flaws, the plot and details of this movie are handled extremely perfectly, and if it is filmed, it is likely to be a huge success.
The most important thing is that if you look at it purely from the perspective of the script, the script of this movie can definitely be regarded as the best script.
It's just that they have some doubts in their hearts that with the strength of Tianyu Entertainment Company, or the financial strength of the entire Pingyu Group, investing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to make a big production is not a problem at all.
In the prediction of most people, the first film and television work launched by Tianyu Entertainment Company should be a big production, and only in this way can it truly reflect the strength of Tianyu Entertainment Company.
But they participated in the complete creation of the script and understood the various intentions involved in the whole script. But it is precisely because of this that as practitioners in this industry, they can clearly judge the script, and in the process of filming, if the influence of the actors is removed, it is normal. I am afraid that the investment funds required as a whole will not even reach 5 million.
Of course, if all the big-name stars are invited during the filming of the movie, then the cost of inviting actors alone is likely to be as high as several million, and the production cost of the entire movie will also exceed the level of tens of millions. But even so, there is still a huge gap between this and the big production that everyone speculated.
All of a sudden, many people in the screenwriting team began to look at each other.
Chen Ping sat on the chair, stretched his waist, looked at the people in front of him with a smile, and then asked calmly and casually, "What are you thinking?"
In the past half a month of getting along, these people in the screenwriting team have also discovered that Chen Ping is definitely an extremely easy-going person. In the whole process of making the movie script, Chen Ping has never been overly demanding, but extremely patiently explained to them the scenes after the filming of this movie. Then the production of the entire film script was completely handed over to the screenwriter team, and Chen Ping was only responsible for the final review and pointing out some flaws in the details. This is a great trust for them.
And the most important thing is that from the beginning to the end, Chen Ping never showed the slightest hint of impatience. There is also a great deal of tolerance for some of the mistakes they made throughout the production process of the film script.
It is such an easy-going person who also makes everyone gradually lose the fear of Chen Ping's identity in their hearts. When talking to Chen Ping, he didn't have too many worries.
The captain of the screenwriting team, after hesitating for a moment, suddenly asked softly: "Mr. Chen, we guessed before that the strength of Tianyu Entertainment Company, or the strength of Pingyu Group. The first film and television work launched should at least be an investment of more than 50 million, and in the domestic film industry, it can be regarded as an absolute large-scale production. Only in this way can we reflect the strength of Tianyu Entertainment Company in the entertainment industry. ”
"Because we all know very well that the reason why Tianyu Entertainment Company wants to launch film and television works is to establish its position in the entertainment industry, which is also the strategic development direction of Tianyu Entertainment Company. Although we are not the top management of Tianyu Entertainment Company, as employees of Tianyu Entertainment Company, if we can't even understand the strategic development direction of Tianyu Entertainment Company, we are not qualified to continue to work in Tianyu Entertainment Company. ”
"So now we are a little puzzled, the script of this movie, no matter how you look at it, I am afraid that the investment will not reach the level of 50 million. Even if it is extremely extravagant in all aspects, I am afraid that the final investment is only twenty or thirty million. This is very different from our previous speculation. So several of us have some doubts in our hearts, and we don't understand why Mr. Chen chose such a script. ”
Hearing the captain of the screenwriting team say this to himself, Chen Ping was also surprised and looked at him deeply.
Then he gave a thumbs up with a smile, and said with a chuckle: "Yes, although you are only employees of Tianyu Entertainment Company, you can accurately grasp the strategic development direction of the entire Tianyu Entertainment Company, which is extremely rare for ordinary employees." However, I think you may have misunderstood the intention of the strategic development direction of Tianyu Entertainment. ”
"For Tianyu Entertainment Company, proving its strength is indeed the strategic development direction of Tianyu Entertainment Company in the next period of time, and only Tianyu Entertainment Company, which has truly proved its strength, can completely gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry. It's just that you probably don't really realize that Tianyu Entertainment needs to prove its strength, and it doesn't need to go all out every time. ”
"If you follow your assumptions, it can indeed prove the strength of Tianyu Entertainment Company, but there are some conflicts with the strategic development process of Tianyu Entertainment Company for a period of time. Think about it carefully, some time ago, Tianyu Entertainment Company invested as much as 300 million yuan to produce the music talent variety show The Voice of China, and the last 3 large-scale live broadcasts, what is the purpose of?"
Hearing Chen Ping's question, many people present looked at each other.
After thinking carefully for a moment, everyone discussed it in a low voice.
Then, the captain of the screenwriting team turned his head again, looked at Chen Ping in front of him, and said solemnly and softly: "Mr. Chen, we think that the most important purpose of producing this large-scale live broadcast program is to reflect the strong financial strength of our Tianyu Entertainment Company. ”
Chen Ping also nodded with a chuckle, and then asked again: "So in your opinion, if you invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to make a real big production, then what kind of ability does this part of the investment reflect in terms of the amount of funds?"
Hearing Chen Ping say this, the captain of the screenwriting team, including everyone else in the screenwriting team, was slightly stunned, and then everyone reacted.
According to their assumptions, what is proved by investing so much money is just the financial strength of Tianyu Entertainment Company, and there is no other significance.
Thinking of this, the captain of the screenwriting team suddenly turned slightly red, and he didn't know what to say.
However, Chen Ping didn't care too much, just smiled and waved his hand, and then continued to say in a deep voice: "What you said is indeed not wrong, the most important strategic development direction of Tianyu Entertainment Company now is to prove its strength. It's just that for an entertainment company, there are many aspects of its own strength, and financial strength is only one of them. There are also resources and the ability to create value in the entertainment industry, which is simply called profitability. ”
"Tianyu Entertainment Company has perfectly demonstrated its financial strength and creative ability, and the reason why we chose the script of the movie Crazy Stone for the next film and television work is because we need to show our profitability. As you said, the overall amount of money invested in the movie Crazy Stone is probably only a few million. But it is precisely because of this that if this movie can achieve great success, it will receive more than tens of millions of box office. That means that the profitability of this movie is more than 10 times. ”
"Do you think that if you really invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to produce a real big production, can the profit ratio reach such a high level?"
Hearing Chen Ping's words, everyone present completely fell into a state of contemplation. But then they all really understood Chen Ping's words, indeed, as Chen Ping said, once the script of the movie Crazy Stone is a huge success, then the profit ratio generated by it will far exceed those so-called big productions in the film industry.
Although the profit figure is likely to be less than those so-called big productions, even so, this can better show the profitability of Tianyu Entertainment Company. And with such a foundation, Tianyu Entertainment Company will also have a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
