Chapter 18: It's embarrassing
Penguin Video Content Department Meeting Room!
As the general manager of the content department, Zhang Yi is having a meeting with the heads of his departments!
"This quarter, we signed a total of 40 movies and 30 TV series, but these are all broadcast together with their respective video sites, and we only have 2 exclusive TV series and 3 movies!"
Zhang Yi looked at the data in his hand and said: "Everyone knows that online dramas are gradually breaking out, just yesterday, Xiaolu Video signed two big-budget online dramas, and Panda Video also followed, but what about us?"
"Two, we only signed two online dramas with results this quarter!"
Zhang Yi's expression was a little angry, there were only two people in charge of the online drama, one was Zhao Kai, because there was no excellent performance in this quarter, so he was directly fired, and the other person was Liu Dan!
But Liu Dan only has two achievements this quarter, and she hasn't signed any of them this month!
Liu Dan, who was sitting in the position, lowered her head, she couldn't explain that it was because there was no good drama!
If so, I'm afraid she will be fired on the spot!
"Liu Dan, this week I hope you can work hard. β
Zhang Yi didn't say it too seriously, but he believed that Liu Dan understood.
After the meeting, Liu Dan also returned to his office with a sad face.
In the past two years, online scripts have only just emerged, and the production is also varied and uneven!
How easy is it to find a good script?
And it was not easy to find a good drama, but they often missed the opportunity and were preempted by several other major video websites.
I was sick yesterday, and Liu Dan didn't have time to look at the mailbox, but today I was told in the conference room again, Zhang Yi's attitude Liu Dan understood.
If she doesn't produce any more results, she should get out of the way like Zhang Kai!
Alas!
sighed, Liu Dan is ready to watch the film and television dramas that everyone has submitted!
Some of the samples that were submitted, Liu Dan only opened them and watched them for a few minutes before turning them off, which is so fucking spicy!
Liu Dan who watched this online drama of "Ocean Adventure" couldn't smile bitterly, and if he didn't know how to use special effects, he didn't use it, but it was obviously filmed in an indoor swimming pool, so he had to cut out the picture to synthesize the ocean, so Liu Dan was dizzy when he turned around and watched it!
In the samples of more than a dozen film and television dramas in a row, Liu Dan watched them as if the sky was thundering!
She even felt that she was lacking luck in the five elements?
Other video sites can pick out good works, but there have never been good works on her side, not once!
The two who have made achievements are also related to Nima!
You can't blame the society for your back!
Besides, the old lady is not ugly!
Liu Dan could only comfort himself like this, stood up a little and recovered a little irritable mentality, and said fiercely towards the air: "Dandan, come on, you are the best, the luck of a beautiful girl will not be bad!"
Fortunately, Liu Dan has her own office, otherwise she will be shocked when her colleagues see this scene!
The contrast is cute!
Sitting back in front of the computer, Liu Dan saw the sixth work that was submitted todayββββ
Soul Ferry!
This made Liu Dan's eyes light up, it turned out to be a ghost movie?
You must know that ghost movies in China are the most difficult to film, because most people can guess what the routine is, just imagine if the ghost movie is not scary and shocking, how can it still be called a ghost movie?
Liu Dan, who was a little curious, opened the first episode!
"It is recorded in the Buddhist scriptures that there are five kinds of eye ...... in this world"
To Liu Dan's surprise, the narrator came directly at the beginning, and the narrator saw a boy holding flowers waiting for his girlfriend, and his girlfriend patted her naughtily behind her!
"What you see, what you believe, does it really exist?"
Upstairs, Xia Dongqing looked at the couple, and the girl who suddenly turned her head violently, but her face was defeated, and her eyes were dripping blood, as if she was a ghost!
"Ahh
Liu Dan was also taken aback, and then she found that the beginning of "Soul Ferry" had just begun!
I have to say that although I was intimidated just now, Liu Dan still felt a little interesting!
So Liu Dan continued to watch!
"My name is Xia Dongqing, 24 years old, graduated from college, preparing for graduate school entrance examination, I grew up in an orphanage, characterized by poverty, specialty is daze, hobby is sleeping, but I have a secret, my eyes can see ghosts!"
With the protagonist's self-statement, the first episode officially begins!
The eerie tension of the soundtrack made Liu Dan involuntarily fall into it, especially when she saw the clerk played by Kong Hai saying that she was joking, she was really startled!
Next, Doudou and Wang Xiaoya appeared one after another!
When Wang Xiaoya used the computer of the convenience store to check the 'small house with an archway', he suddenly froze, pointed to the computer and stopped talking!
It turned out that the news said that a five-year-old boy was hit in a car accident!
Liu Dan was also stunned when she saw this, she said, it's wrong to create such an atmosphere in the movie just now, this Doudou must be a ghost!
Sure enough, the next thing seemed to confirm Liu Dan's conjecture, looking at Doudou's weird appearance with a lollipop and Wang Xiaoya's explanation of Holly!
Everything seems to show that this is the first seven, and Doudou can't find his way home!
"Could it be that Doudou is going to become a demon next?"
Liu Dan remembered the routines of other film and television dramas, and muttered to himself.
Bang!
Suddenly, the door of the supermarket was pushed open, and a woman anxiously shouted, "Doudou!"
"Mom!!"
Doudou happily threw herself into her mother's arms!
"Why are you disobedient, child? Didn't your mother tell you to stand there if you couldn't find your mother?"
Doudou's mother said complainingly.
Doudou said happily: "My sister brought me here, and invited me to eat oden!"
"You're so naughty!"
Doudou's mother pulled up Doudou and thanked Xia Dongqing, ignoring Wang Xiaoya throughout the whole process, as if she couldn't see this person!
When he was leaving, Doudou said: "Brother goodbye, sister goodbye!"
Doudou's mother said: "Where is there a sister, isn't it just a brother?"
β¦β¦
"I rely on !!"
Liu Dan suddenly couldn't help screaming, it turned out that the ghost was not Doudou, it was Wang Xiaoya!
She was hit by a car in order to save Doudou, and she was not out of danger!
Next, Xia Dongqing fantasized about the N scenes where a ghost appeared, which was a simple relief of the tense atmosphere!
Zhao Yi also made a shining debut, and then Zhao Yan told Xia Dongqing that the girl was not dead, she was in a vegetative state, and finally Xia Dongqing took Wang Xiaoya back to the hospital together, and at the same time she also understood her mother!
"Interesting!"
Seeing that it was almost over, Liu Dan couldn't help laughing: "I was shocked, I was moved, and I almost deceived me, not bad!"
Continuing to watch the samples, when Xia Dongqing returned to the supermarket store to apologize and hoped that Zhao Yan would not tell the boss, Zhao Yan suddenly said, "That girl woke up just now??"
"Ah, wake up!"
After reflexively speaking, Xia Dongqing's face became extremely weird: "How do you know that there is a girl?"
"I also know that she is not going to live her life, because she will meet you. β
"Who the hell are you!"
"You eyes, I gave them to you!"
Zhao Yan looked at Xia Dongqing and said, "I gave it to you!"
Rumble!
Xia Dongqing looked at the employee card again, and found that there was no such person as Zhao Yan at all, and the entire supermarket was empty at this time!
β¦β¦
Just this episode made Liu Dan already feel a little numb, reversed, reversed, reversed!
Xia Dongqing's eyes can see ghosts, but these eyes turned out to be given to him by Zhao Yan!
So who is Zhao Yan?
After the first episode, Liu Dan continued to watch the second episode of "Ghost Detective"!
After watching it, Liu Dan didn't know what to say, who said that ghost movies can't be positive?
After all, it is a sample film, and Liu Dan has a rough idea in his heart after watching the first three episodes!
This is a supernatural drama with a novel theme, and maybe it may become popular!
Thinking of this, I watched the introduction and actors of the drama "Soul Ferry" again!
Director/screenwriter: Lin Chen
Starring: Tong Qing, Yan Feng, Zhao Ze!
β¦β¦
This is a unit drama, which means that the cost of this drama will not be too high, and it seems that this Lin Chen should be quite talented, she suddenly remembered something, and then hurriedly dialed the phone: "Wu Zhen, I, Liu Dan, last time you had dinner, you said that your group once watched a good film and television drama, is it called "Soul Ferry"?"
Wu Zhen, who was reviewing the manuscript at the Imperial Capital Film and Television Company, was a little puzzled: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Liu Dan asked: "You said that this Lin Chen is a top student of Jinghua Film Academy?"
"Not only a high-achieving student, my company's colleague has a Jinghua Film Academy, and he is a talented screenwriter. β
Wu Zhen said with some regret: "To be honest, at that time, our company actually wanted to buy his book, but he insisted on directing himself, so it didn't work out!"
"Hehe, okay, then I know. β
After chatting with Wu Zhen for a few more words, Liu Dan also hung up the phone!
"Stubborn, confident, talented!"
Liu Dan roughly knows how to negotiate!
β¦β¦
Fawn Video Content Department!
Lin Chen suddenly understood that Zhang Yang in front of him was teasing himself!
He was the first to receive a call from Zhang Yang for the sample film of "Soul Ferry", and in Lin Chen's opinion, the first three episodes of the sample plus one episode of "One Night in Beijing" are enough to impress these video network giants!
But now it doesn't seem to be like that!
Can Zhang Yang understand that the production cost of "Soul Ferry" is more than 500,000?
But Zhang Yang in front of him did this, is this stupid?
No, or stupid, you can't be the head of the content department!
But Lin Chen is too lazy to dig into why, this is like a big health care, if you can't talk about it, you will change the next one!
"In that case, alas, it would be a pity. β
Zhang Yang stood up with a smile and said, "Actually, I really want to cooperate with you, I hope we have the possibility of cooperating in the next drama." β
"Okay, we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future. β
Lin Chen also shook hands with Zhang Yang, and then left!
As soon as he left Xiaolu Video, Lin Chen received a call from the person claiming to be the head of the Penguin Video Content Department!
"Okay, yes, at 3 p.m., it's in the cafΓ© opposite the Jinghua Film Academy. β
Lin Chen nodded lightly and said!
At present, the three major video websites have all feedback!
The fawn video doesn't know what crazy it is smoking, it can be regarded as a direct PASS!
Next up are the penguins and pandas!
After coming to Panda Video, Lin Chen was received by a bald middle-aged man, and when he saw Lin Chen, he also said straight to the point: "We are willing to buy the exclusive broadcast rights of this film, 1.2 million buyout!"
Lin Chen frowned slightly: "This price is a little too low!"
"Not low!"
The bald middle-aged man shook his head slightly and said: "The price of 60,000 yuan for a single episode is okay in the online drama, your online drama is a typical small-cost and small-scale production, except for Tong Qing, everyone else is a newcomer." β
Speaking of this, the bald middle-aged man paused for a moment and said: "If last month, with Tong Qing's fame, I could take this drama for 2 million, but now it doesn't work, Tong Qing is a poison, we don't dare to take this drama too seriously!"
That's embarrassing!
Originally, Lin Chen wanted Tong Qing to join and take advantage of the situation to raise the price, but he didn't expect to directly take advantage of the situation to reduce the price!
No way, the panda video is also talking about jumping!
If Penguin Video talks about jumping again, Lin Chen is ready to stop playing routines and take the traditional advertising sharing route!
