In the evening, when he returned to the hotel, Liao Yuan opened his notebook and began to write the script.

But before creating a script, you must first understand the current market environment, if a good movie is not released at the right time, it is likely to deal a fatal blow to the entire work, such as "No Man's Land", in addition to the sensitive subject matter, it also coincided with the political events of the year, and it was born at the wrong time, and the result was that it was directly banned by the authorities for four and a half years.

To put it simply, it is necessary to examine the degree, cater to the audience's tastes, and find out the laws of the market, rather than blindly appreciating oneself and pretentiously going to shoot some stories that no one cares about.

Of course, even if there is a good script, if you can't ensure profitability, it is difficult to attract a certain amount of investment.

So, what type of movie is the most popular at the moment?

Liao Yuan opened the TV box office rankings, and it can be seen that most of the movies in recent years are gathering on suspense and science fiction, and big scenes and large-scale CG special effects are smashed into it as if they don't need money, as long as there is a story of poor quality, the average audience will buy it.

But the problem is that although such productions are widely popular, because the domestic CG technology is not up to standard, most of the big sellers are foreign films.

And this kind of movie, although the subject matter is popular, because it is a foreign language translation, the box office is inherently limited, so it is rare to be able to ride the dust.

As a result, domestic films found another way and began to dig deep into the suspense theme.

Ten years have passed, this category has become one of the most popular categories at the moment, coupled with the relatively mature special effects technology, the combination of the two is basically a guarantee of the box office.

But this also makes the cost increase by the hour.

If you don't consider the cost, "Looking for the Dragon", which had a box office of nearly 1.7 billion in the previous life, is definitely Liao Yuan's best choice.

But the problem is that the investment in "Dragon Quest" is as high as 250 million yuan.

Not to mention Liao Yuan, even if Fu Yuntao is here, he doesn't dare to pat his chest to guarantee that he will be able to pull such a high investment.

"What about online dramas?"

Liao Yuan remembered the suspense drama "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", so he clicked on the online drama hit list, and then he found a fact that surprised him.

All online dramas, including the TV series on the stars, rarely have more than 15 episodes, and most of them are within 12 episodes, or even 10 episodes.

This is because, in addition to CCTV, the four major TV stations have their own production companies, and they dig scripts everywhere, produce TV programs and variety shows, and achieve complete self-made self-broadcasting.

In other words, if the ratings are not good and the reputation is poor, it is an inevitable choice for the TV station to break it.

If the response is good, the producers will consider continuing to follow the second season of the series.

In this way, the existence of bad movies will be eliminated, and the entire market environment will be thriving.

Recalling the weight of more than 30 episodes of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", how to compress the plot, just thinking about it made Liao Yuan's scalp tingle, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" is undoubtedly an excellent suspense drama, but inertia is inevitable.

To put it simply, the current market environment for film and television dramas is somewhat similar to that of foreign countries in the previous life.

In addition, the actors' salaries are strictly controlled, so even if the film and television drama is popular, it is not so easy for the actors to break the contract and change jobs, unless it is like "Fast and Furious 8", actor Paul died unexpectedly, and he will get out of the contract.

But in addition to "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", short and concise film and television drama scripts in previous lives are not uncommon.

This kind of investment is low, the return is high, and looking at the quality of the filmed works, it is very much in line with Liao Yuan's taste.

"So, ...... suspense films"

Liao Yuan looked at the blank computer documents, gradually closed his eyes, and carefully recalled the trivial details that still existed in his memory.

He dug hard, clearing the fog.

"Looking for the Dragon" is really a lot of disasters, it was hard to start filming, but the budget of 180 million is completely not enough to spend, and now the filming has been stopped, it is said that the producer is introducing two other investments, and the final budget will exceed 250 million, ha, this has not yet calculated the cost of publicity, and it is really easy to sing these four words in the world. ”

"Ah Yuan, have you watched "Signal" with a Douban score of more than nine points? A horse that is popular in Asian countries, many countries are ready to move, Japan has already bought the remake copyright, our company is in contact with the Korean side, if the copyright is in hand, you are definitely suitable to play the male lead, haha!"

"The final box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" exceeded 3.3 billion, the time and place are favorable, and Chen Sicheng's guy has accounted for it all!"

"Wu Jing has turned over!" The total box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" exceeded 5 billion ......"

"Ah Yuan, the script of "Signal" has been sent to your mailbox, have you read it? The famous screenwriter Chen Nunu personally handled it, there are two director candidates, Hu Feng or Liu Jianguo, which one do you like?"

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" was postponed for a month, and the box office exceeded 2.4 billion in 26 days after its release...... Whew, can anyone tell me what is the difference between this drama and the Shenhao article on the starting point Chinese Internet?"

"Ah Yuan, where are you? ”

The tip of the nose is fishy.

Smack.

Nosebleeds fell on the back of the hand.

Liao Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and felt a little short of breathing.

He stood up, stumbled to the ground, and the white carpet suddenly appeared to be stained with blood, and he struggled to get up, ran to the bathroom and washed his face.

Raise your head and look at the figure in the mirror, strange and familiar.

"What the hell......"

Liao Yuan wiped the nosebleed that came out again, cleaned it, tore a tissue and stuffed it in, and then tilted his head back to the computer, ""Signal?

The plot and information about "Signal" that popped up in his mind made Liao Yuan a little confused.

[Zhao Bin, the psychological profiler of the long-pending case task force, is a police heretic who is dissatisfied and distrustful of the police.

In order to make ends meet, Zhao Bin wasted his talents investigating celebrity privacy and then selling it to the media, until an old radio that was more than 10 years old suddenly sounded......

And Hu Haiquan, a criminal policeman who was active in the police in the 80s, is an upright man who can't be clever and can only rush forward.

When Zhao Bin began to use the wireless machine to contact Hu Haiquan across time and space, the unsolved cases buried in the dust of history were revealed. 】

This Asian fire, the TV series "Signal", which was successively purchased by major copyright owners for remake rights, once scored as high as 9.5 points on Douban in the previous life, and was known as the first Korean drama of the year, and the drama won the Best TV Drama Award and Best Script Award in the TV Drama Department of the 52nd Korean Baeksang Arts Awards.

Liao Yuan, on the recommendation of his agent, tried to watch a few episodes of "Signal".

But because of his busy work, he didn't do it in the end, and it wasn't until the company bought the remake copyright of the show at a high price that Liao Yuan had the opportunity to get in touch with the final script of the show.

To sum up, the suspense of the play is endless, and the plot turns thousands of times, which is indeed a rare masterpiece back then.

The most important thing is that the production cost of this drama is low, there is basically no special effects, and the whole drama is completely supported by the screenwriter's whimsical script story, and the series is about fifteen episodes, which is in line with Liao Yuan's current goal.

It's just that Liao Yuan always felt that something was wrong, and he didn't seem to have the memory of filming "Signal" in his mind at all.
