Chapter 779: Movies and TV Series
Movies and TV series?
Li Zhuo and Xin Changkong's eyes flashed in unison.
Obviously, this concept proposed by Shen Huan is very exciting for the two excellent filmmakers!
Treating a TV series as a movie has never been mentioned before, let alone action.
But when you think about it, it's a bit whimsical.
Because if a TV series is filmed in the form of a movie, it is purely an extremely wasteful act.
Filming an episode of a TV series, which is about 50 minutes long, and the average cost can reach 2 million per episode, which is already very remarkable.
The previously popular "Huanzhu Gege", 28 episodes cost 80 million, that is because the little diva Bu Yiyi was invited to be the heroine, and a group of famous actors such as Emperor Kong Xiangjun also participated, so the production cost is so high.
The first season of "Yue Prison" is such a popular TV series, and only 30 million yuan was spent on 30 episodes, and the reason is another factor - Teacher Chu Liuxiang's TV series, the stars are willing to star even if the price is reduced.
However, according to the normal situation, no matter how many episodes of a TV series are, it is not as good as a movie, which is an investment of tens of millions, or even tens of millions.
Although the movie is also only 90 minutes long, and at most 120 minutes, can the cost of two TV episodes be comparable to a movie?
Definitely not.
Even if it is just a small-cost literary film of 6 million, it is too expensive to make a TV series.
The cost is equivalent to you having to put all three or five of them in this TV series, which is a pure waste of resources.
Not to mention the amount of energy required to shoot a movie, which is simply not comparable to a TV series.
If the TV series is filmed familiarly, it is not strange to shoot a TV series with thirty or forty episodes in twenty or thirty days.
The filming process of fifty or sixty episodes of the TV series took three months, which can be regarded as a conscience.
If you don't shoot a movie for two or three months, even if it's a commercial film, you're embarrassed to meet people.
If you shoot the second season of "Yue Prison", and each episode is filmed according to the movie, how long will it have to be filmed? one year, two years, or three years?
It's not realistic at all!
Looking at the disapproval look that gradually appeared in the eyes of the two, Shen Huan smiled.
"You have to think clearly, I'm definitely not talking about movies, I'm talking about movies and TV series. Shen Huan said, "It's still broadcast on TV, but its production is a little stricter, and the time can be extended to 70 minutes or 90 minutes with the ideas and production methods of the movie."
As for the specific time and plot control, it all depends on the director's skills and plans. I believe that Director Li is capable of doing a good job, right?"
"Hmm...... This is actually a work that is more beautiful than the TV series and a little more relaxed than the movie, so I can try this rhythm. Li Zhuo slowly bowed his head, "But in this way, the requirements for actors are still very high." ”
"Li Yingzhi, Yan Yu and Zhou Lexiang, the three of them, have already exercised a lot in the first season, and then I will hand them over to you, as you can arrange and torture as you like. Xin Changkong said directly, "What we want is an excellent TV series, filming well is the first step, and don't worry about the rest." ”
"That's what I like about a production company like yours. Li Zhuo smiled with satisfaction, "Mr. Lu, is it true that the funds, personnel, and filming are all controlled by me?"
"That's right. Shen Huan pondered for a moment, "Including the final edit, you have the final say." ”
"Oh, aren't you afraid that I'm going to shoot too darkly, and the audience won't like it?" asked Li Zhuo.
"This TV series is to be purchased by Shanhai.com, and we are facing the audience on the Internet, most of them are young people, and their acceptance will be much higher, so you don't have to worry about this. Shen Huan smiled, "Even if they don't like it, as long as you shoot well, one day, it will shine!"
"Good!"
Li Zhuo nodded, "There are not many people who can meet you who are so sincere in film and television, then I'll give it a try!"
"Lao Li, you're good!" Xin Changkong was overjoyed when he heard this, "I thought you would have to think about it for a long time before agreeing!"
"I've always been a fan of 'Yue Prison', don't you know yet?" Li Zhuo responded.
"Huh!?"
Xin Changkong was surprised and delighted.
"But I'm a fan of the plot, and you didn't shoot it in line with the flavor of this show. Li Zhuo continued unceremoniously, "So when I heard you say that Teacher Chu wanted to find me to shoot, I came." ”
Xin Changkong couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking to himself that you are really a typical person who can't speak.
That is, labor and management have been reborn from the ashes, otherwise this will have to hold a grudge against you.
Shen Huan also nodded.
It turns out that Li Zhuo likes it himself, so it makes sense.
But then Li Zhuo said, "Actually, I also have realistic considerations when I shoot this TV series...... My scripts and movies have reached an extreme, and now no one comes to me to shoot them. If I don't make new works, I'm afraid that my ability will decline. ”
"No one is looking for you?" Xin Changkong said in surprise, "Every movie you make money!"
"But I didn't make enough money, and the foreign copyright and video repatriation were an extremely long-term process. They might as well find some people to make simple movies and TV series, and they can make money in the blink of an eye. Li Zhuo said indifferently, "I also need some success to prove myself!
"Now with the Internet as a platform, your audience will increase a lot. Shen Huan said in a harmonious voice, "When you get tired of filming "Yue Prison" in the future, we will make another movie to ensure that you are satisfied." ”
"Oh?"
Li Zhuo raised his eyebrows, "Can I see it as a promise given to me by Teacher Chu Liuxiang?"
Shen Huan smiled dumbly, "Okay, that's what he said! Even if he doesn't want to write, I will ask him to write it!"
"Thank you very much!"
Li Zhuo laughed happily.
This was the first time he was laughing since Shen Huan came in.
It can also be seen from here that Li Zhuo is a very pure person.
Xin Changkong also nodded secretly.
Listening to the boss, Li Zhuo will occupy a very important position in the company in the future.
However, according to Li Zhuo's temper, he is definitely unwilling to compete for the boss, and he will not pose a threat to himself.
But now that "Yue Prison" has been handed over, he only has "Huanzhu Gege 2" in his hands, and it's time to propose the next development plan to the boss.
In your own hands, you have to have a movie to prove yourself!
Li Zhuo is a little better, he is just gradually ignored.
And Xin Changkong himself is a man who has returned from hell, and he urgently needs a movie to tell people all over the world that I am back seriously!
At the same time, he also wants the best opportunity to announce to the whole country that he wants to find his ex-girlfriend again, and then spend his life to atone for his sins.
This is Xin Changkong's original intention to struggle again, and he has never forgotten it.
