Chapter 421: Bet

Regarding the sitcom, Wu Menglong and Xiao Ziqiao are not optimistic, thinking that it is the sunset type in film and television, and it is going a sharp downward spiral, theoretically speaking, Ye Zheng agrees with their point of view. But Ye Zheng, who is pregnant with several excellent sitcoms, can express different opinions on this.

"Oh, what do you think?" Xiao Ziqiao and Wu Menglong looked at Ye Zheng, but it was time for the award of Best Director, with four nominations, including Cangshuiyue, Wu Menglong, and Long Peiqi. "Let's take a look at the awards first, maybe it's Mr. Wu. Ye Zheng said with a smile.

When reading Wu Menglong's nomination, the director switched the camera to the location of the crew of "No Soldiers in the World", and was surprised to find that Wu Menglong was not there. There was a small commotion in the director room, and seeing that a program called "Where Did Wu Menglong Go" could be born, someone finally found Wu Menglong sitting on Ye Zheng's side. Whew, the director breathed a sigh of relief while switching the camera, and said in his heart that you have nothing to do, don't stay with the people in your crew, go to Ye Zheng to do something. Do you want to go to Cangshuiyue PK? Your old man can't wait until he won't win the prize, but let Cangshuiyue win the prize, and you two will fight again......

The director's worries didn't happen, because Cangshuiyue and Wu Menglong didn't win the award, and it was Long Peiqi who won the award. Ye Zheng nodded slightly, Long Peiqi won the best director, and he was indeed the best candidate in his heart. The martial arts spirit shown in the movie "Dragon Gate Inn" and the culture that appears faintly behind it are well expressed by Long Peiqi. During the filming of this movie, Ye Zheng didn't participate too much, but just took out the script and left it alone, and Long Peiqi only came to seek Ye Zheng's opinion when she encountered some difficult problems. Overall, the film was done by Peggy Long.

And he did what Ye Zheng wanted very well! Long Peiqi came to the stage to accept the award, Ye Zheng applauded, and then continued to whisper, I don't know if there will be media reporters tomorrow who criticize them for not looking good at the awards party, and deduct them from a disrespectful hat. "Sitcoms, in my opinion, there are still a lot to write about. Ye Zheng said: "The so-called low level of attention, low ratings, and no good fresh stories to write are, in the final analysis, the quality of the sitcom itself is declining." If a sitcom has a good quality in itself, then the ratings will not be too low anyway. For example, youth love idol dramas, in fact, they are those bloody episodes, handsome men and beautiful queens and Cinderella, ugly ducklings turning into white swans or something, but the audience likes to watch this, and they never get tired of watching it......"

"The ugly duckling becomes a white swan? Wu Menglong smiled, but frowned again and wondered: "But, what is Cinderella?" Ye Zheng sweated, and after thinking about it, he remembered that Cinderella was from the 17th century "Grimm's Fairy Tales" in his previous life, and the ugly duckling was from the 19th century "Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales". These two masterpieces do not exist in this world. If you have time another day, pick out the famous ones and write a collection of fairy tales, Ye Zheng thought in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Eh, these things come from my works, mistakes, mistakes......"

"Oh, it seems that Ye Dong's attitude towards creation is really high, this is the integration of creation into life. Xiao Ziqiao sighed, but he didn't know that Ye Zheng was empty-hearted, and at the same time, he was also planning to really sort out the good fairy tales and publish a fairy tale collection.

His works up to now are aimed at teenagers, middle-aged and elderly, but not for children. Well, cultivating fans should start with the doll...... "Ahem, mistake, sorry, let's continue." Ye Zheng said embarrassedly: "That's what I mean about sitcoms, in my opinion, as long as there is my story, and there are good actors and production teams, I can still shoot high-quality TV series and strive for high ratings and profits." ”

"What does Ye Dong mean by this, that is, the key lies in the script?" Xiao Ziqiao smiled: "Isn't this what you are best at?" Ye Zheng smiled faintly, with undoubted confidence in his smile: "Of course, sitcom, I am still sure." Xiao Ziqiao shook his head lightly: "I'm still not very optimistic about sitcoms...... Unless, unless you can actually prove it to me. Make a successful sitcom, and I will agree with you. After all, in the past few years, many people have been trying to make sitcoms, but none of the works can be considered successful, Ye Dong is talented, but if you want to save the whole trend, it is still difficult. ”

"In the decade before 2014, almost everyone thought that Chinese rock was in decline. For more than a decade before 2015, almost everyone thought that Chinese folk songs were dead. Ye Zheng smiled lightly and said, "But, I did it." "Yes, what seemed impossible to you, I did, and more than one. What's more, whether it is to save Chinese rock music or folk songs, it is more difficult than doing sitcoms, the first two are really in decline, sitcoms now, there is still a certain market, and the so-called decline is just beginning. If Ye Zheng really wants to do this, he is absolutely confident that he will ignite another fire to the genre of sitcoms. Ye Zheng's words made Xiao Ziqiao and Wu Menglong stunned, Ye Zheng usually looks like a very modest and respectful person, and in front of many people, he has always regarded himself as a junior. But when it comes to creation, when it comes to his strengths, he exudes unparalleled self-confidence. This kind of attitude and momentum is irresistible, as if as long as he says it, he can really do it. What's more, Ye Zheng has also proved his strong strength more than once in the past two or three years.

Xiao Ziqiao couldn't help but sigh: "That's right, many things that seem impossible to all of us, you have done it." Then sitcom, maybe you can really do it...... Although I still don't quite believe it. Ye Zheng smiled slightly: "Mr. Xiao, why don't we make a bet?" "Oh?" Xiao Ziqiao was a little surprised, and asked with a smile: "How to bet? What to bet on?" "Bet on whether I can make a sitcom with a good reputation, if I can make it, then does Mr. Xiao dare to reimburse me for all the expenses of filming this drama?" Ye Zheng smiled: "It's reimbursement, it's a bet without any benefits, it's not an investment." ”

"This ......" Xiao Ziqiao was stunned, the stakes are inevitably too big, although the filming of the sitcom requires few scene props and other items, and the production cost is relatively low, but if it is a sitcom with dozens of episodes, how can it cost tens of millions of funds. This cost budget still doesn't consider inviting celebrities, otherwise even if you invite a few second-tier stars, this cost will increase a lot.

"The stakes are a little bigger!" Ye Zheng smiled: "Otherwise, just use the gambling money directly, if I can shoot it, you give me money, if I can't shoot it, I will give you money, how about it?" Xiao Ziqiao frowned and said: "This reputation is good and the results are good, how can you judge it? What is the name of the gambling money?"

"Simple, bet on ratings. In your heart, if I make a sitcom, what is the maximum rating?" Ye Zheng asked. Xiao Ziqiao thought for a moment and said cautiously: "3%." Ye Zheng laughed: "Is Mr. Xiao scared?3%, this is not like your skeptical attitude just now."
