Chapter 168: Script Selection
Chapter 168
Soon.
Wang Youwei came to Jiang Shu's house.
Wang Youwei was holding a sack in his hand.
That's right.
It's just a sack.
And in the sack are stacks and stacks of scripts.
Whoa~~!
Under Jiang Shu's bewildered expression.
Wang Youwei directly poured a sack of scripts on the coffee table in Jiang Shu's living room.
"So much?"
Jiang Shu's small eyes were full of great confusion.
"That's right, that's it. Wang Youwei clapped his hands and sat opposite Jiang Shu, "Moreover, this is only part of it, if you didn't ask me to push down all the crew invitations that have not been scripted for the time being, it is estimated that there will be more." ”
Jiang Shu looked at the scripts piled up all over the coffee table, and his head was big for a while, "How many scripts are these?"
"Forty-six. Wang Youwei replied, "Up to now, I have received a total of forty-six scripts. There are low-cost small productions with only a few million investments, as well as several large productions with an investment of more than 100 million. ”
Because Jiang Shu had instructed Wang Youwei before.
Let Wang Youwei not need to help with screening, just send all the scripts over.
Wang Youwei is also in accordance with what Jiang Shu said.
Put all the scripts in front of Jiang Shu and let Jiang Shu choose at will.
"Is there an online drama here?" Jiang Shu said.
"Yes, and quite a few. Wang Youwei opened his mouth with a smile, "Among the forty-six scripts, more than 20 scripts are online dramas, nearly half. Moreover, among the more than 20 online dramas, the online drama with the highest investment has more than 50 million. ”
"More than 50 million ......," Jiang Shu was surprised.
If Jiang Shu is not mistaken.
All online dramas released in the online drama industry.
The highest investment is only more than 10 million, less than 20 million.
Wang Youwei flipped through the script pile, and handed a script to Jiang Shu, "Yao, it's this drama, "Dark Corner", with an investment of more than 50 million yuan, directed by a senior director in the industry, it is said that the heroine of this drama is still a second-tier star. ”
Jiang Shu took the script from Wang Youwei and flipped through it roughly.
While flipping, he opened his mouth in confusion.
"How can the investment in an online drama be so high?"
"And that's not because of your 'Dead Men Can Talk'. ”
Wang Youwei said this, and Jiang Shu understood.
Before.
Why is the investment in online dramas generally low?
That's because the market is sluggish, and investors are afraid of losing money and are reluctant to invest too much.
But now it's different.
"Dead People Can Talk" will completely open up the online drama market.
Investors have seen the possibility of making money from online dramas.
So one by one, they looked like wolves that smelled fishy.
Invest more money in the filming of online dramas.
Although there are pros and cons to this.
But overall.
This is a good thing for the online drama industry.
"How about it, are you interested in this drama? The director of this drama said that if you are willing to take on this drama, you don't need to audition, you can directly sign a contract and play the male lead of this drama. And, in terms of salary, it starts at least five million. Wang Youwei asked Jiang Shu.
The conditions are very good.
Can......
Jiang Shu didn't have a cold.
The main reason is that this "Dark Corner" is similar to "Dead People Can Talk", which is also a short and concise suspense type web drama.
The difference is that the protagonist of "Dark Corner" is a police officer.
The success of "Dead People Can Talk" proves that this type of online drama is very marketable in China.
Jiang Shu flipped through the script a little just now.
The quality of the script is not bad.
Coupled with such a large investment, the probability of shooting out is extremely high.
So......
Jiang Shu slowly closed the script in his hand, shook his head and smiled faintly, "Forget it, the homogenization of this drama and "Dead People Can Talk" is too serious, I plan to change the type of film to shoot." ”
Jiang Shu casually found a reason to prevaricate Wang Youwei.
But Jiang Shu's explanation.
In Wang Youwei's eyes, it is another meaning.
is reluctant to make a script that is seriously homogeneous with "Dead People Can Talk".
Doesn't that mean......
Jiang Shu doesn't want to be stuck in one or two types of films, but wants to try to constantly break through and challenge himself.
This realization......
For a newcomer who has just entered the showbiz and has just finished filming a drama, it is rare and valuable.
Sure enough, Jiang Shu is worthy of being a man who wants to become a superstar.
Wang Youwei was extremely gratified.
"Jiang Shu, I support you!" Wang Youwei's eyes were full of approval when he looked at Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu: "???"
What, Brother Wang.
I didn't say anything, why did you suddenly support me?!
"Ahem. Jiang Shu coughed lightly and waved his hand, "Brother Wang, you should continue to introduce me to the script." As for films of the same genre as "Dead People Can Talk", you don't need to introduce them to me. ”
Wang Youwei made an O**K gesture.
"I'll tell you about ...... in turn."
Forty-six scripts, in addition to the same type as "Dead Men Can Talk", there are forty copies.
Even for each script, Wang Youwei only introduced it slightly.
But by the time all the forty scripts were introduced, it was already 12 o'clock at noon.
And after Jiang Shu listened, he was also dizzy.
Ay!
It's really too many choices, and there are also the troubles of too many choices.
Especially for Jiang Shu, who has a little difficulty in choosing, this is especially true.
"Jiang Shu, are you hungry?"
"Sort of, Brother Wang, do you know how to cook. ”
"Yes. ”
"What will be?"
"Below. ”
“......”
Jiang Shu thought that Wang Youwei was a hidden family cook.
Unexpectedly.
Like yourself, cooking will only be below.
"Then let's order takeout. Jiang Shuge You was lying on the sofa.
Wang Youwei opened the ugly group, "I called a chicken." ”
Jiang Shu: "Where did you fill in your address?"
Wang Youwei was puzzled, "Of course it's your home." ”
Jiang Shu's eyes widened, "Brother Wang, this ...... You can call it, why do you still call the chickens to my house? ”
Wang Youwei: "What do you want, I'm talking about chickens, the kind of chickens that can crow." ”
Jiang Shu: "What kind of chicken can't crow?"
Wang Youwei: "......"
......
Half an hour later.
"Hello sir, you called two chickens, please give a five-star review. ”
The takeaway brother handed the two chickens to Wang Youwei, who opened the door.
in the living room.
Jiang Shu, who had just come out of the bathroom, put on the condom and stretched out his claws to the smooth - crispy fried chicken.
"Well, it smells so good!"
"I mean, this chicken tastes good. ”
"I can order this more often in the future. ”
Two hungry people began to feast.
Soon.
Jiang Shu and Wang Youwei both leaned comfortably on the sofa, touching their stomachs and burping at the same time.
"You are an idol, you can't eat big fish and meat every day, you must pay attention to diet management and maintain your figure. ”
"Brother Wang, I understand, I understand, I'll eat this 100 million times, it's refreshing!"
There was no wine, but there was already enough to eat.
The two continued to get down to business.
"I've probably finished introducing you to forty scripts, how about it, have you chosen the target?" asked Wang Youwei.
"Not yet. Jiang Shu shook his head.
"There's no hurry about this, most of the forty crews started work after New Year's Day, and you still have a long time to think about it. Wang Youwei said with a light smile.
It's early December.
And these forty crews.
Basically, it will be officially launched next year.
There is still some time left for Jiang Shu.
"Leave the script here and let me think about it again. ”
This is the second play that Jiang Shu wants to take.
In a sense.
This is even more crucial than the first play.
He must be serious and serious, cautious and cautious.
Of course......
The reason why Jiang Shu is cautious is not to choose a good film.
is among them, pick out a bad movie that will definitely hit the street.
It's not easy to pick out a good movie from a bunch of scripts, but it's also not easy to find a bad movie from a bunch of scripts that will hit the street!
"Jiang Shu, there is a sentence that I think I still have to say. At this time, Wang Youwei opened his mouth with a serious face.
"Brother Wang, you say. Jiang Shu sat up straight for a moment and gestured.
"With your current value and coffee position, it is a little inappropriate to take on a low-cost small production, so I suggest that you try to take on a script with a higher cost this time. Wang Youwei said slowly.
"Brother Wang, I will. Jiang Shu nodded and agreed.
Wang Youwei is right.
According to his current coffee position, it is no longer suitable to take on some low-cost films.
Don't mention anything else.
His salary alone is a big problem for those low-cost small production crews.
Jiang Shu's salary is low.
Rafting Entertainment will definitely not agree.
And according to the regular price to give the words.
It is estimated that more than half of all the investment brought by their crew will be given to Jiang Shu as a salary.
This is clearly unrealistic.
Thereupon......
There is no need for Wang Youwei to say more.
Jiang Shu is also going to find a big production to shoot this time.
Although.
The probability that a big production is a bad movie is much lower than the probability that a low-budget small production is a bad movie.
But, that doesn't mean there isn't.
There are still a lot of big-budget bad movies every year.
For example, the second half of "Scorching Youth".
Although I'm sorry to whip the corpse with "Scorching Youth" again.
But that's just the way it is.
Moreover.
If a big production is a bad movie, it must receive more scolding than a small production.
In small productions, there are fewer people who pay attention to it, and fewer people scold.
And large-scale productions are not short of publicity funds.
In the case of publicity and distribution in place, there will be a lot of people who pay attention before the broadcast.
And after the broadcast, once the audience found out that it was a bad movie.
There will also be a lot of scolding.
in this world.
But there are many well-known actors who have lost a lot of fans because they have filmed a big-budget bad movie.
Jiang Shu's goal.
It's about being one of them.
"The key to the problem now is to find a big-budget bad movie. ”
Jiang Shu quickly found the crux of the problem.
"Then Jiang Shu, this time are you going to continue to shoot an online drama, or a star drama?" Wang Youwei asked such a question.
And Jiang Shu's answer was, "Star drama!"
These three words.
Jiang Shu said with great certainty.
On the side of the online drama, because of "Dead People Can Talk", Jiang Shu has accumulated some audiences.
If you make an online drama again, this is equivalent to a BUFF blessing.
So......
Next, it's better to shoot a star drama.
"It's okay, although the online drama industry as a whole is developing in a good direction, most of the big productions that have been approved are still star dramas. If you go to shoot a star drama, you will have a lot more choices. Wang Youwei respects Jiang Shu's choice very much.
Then, Wang Youwei stood up.
"Then that's it for today, I'll go back first, and then you will think about it seriously, just tell me when you think about it. Also, I will receive some scripts one after another in the past few days, and I will send them to you when the scripts are there, so you can pick them. ”
After speaking.
Wang Youwei left.
Only Jiang Shu was left sitting alone in the living room, looking at the one-person-tall script stacked next to him and frowning.
