Chapter 613: Web Drama
In mid-March, "One Servant and Two Masters" was broadcast on four TV stations led by Modu TV.
As soon as it was broadcast, it immediately aroused enthusiastic responses, and Zhang Jiayi, who was originally the image of the uncle in "Kyoto Meets Seattle", became even more popular because of this TV series.
In his own words, he never dreamed that he could be so popular, as if this year was his natal year, and the whole world was booming.
In the play, he plays a middle-aged poplar who works as a personal driver for a single female boss, Tang Hong.
Xiaohong in the play is rich and beautiful, and she has never been married, although there is a rich man who has been pursuing her, but she likes her personal driver Xiaoshu.
Xiaoshu knew his female boss's feelings for him, and remembered his eighteen-year-old little sapling, so he kept pretending not to know and did not accept the love of the female boss Xiaohong.
Later, under the design of his daughter Xiao Sapling, he met Xiao Gu, who was quite like his ex-wife, and because he was like his ex-wife, the two had a good impression of each other in contact.
In this way, a middle-aged uncle is sandwiched between the two beauties Xiaohong and Xiaogu, and the scenes are warm. The comedy of life unfolds in the trio.
After a series of things, in the relationship with Yang Hong, he saw his feelings for Xiaohong clearly, bravely faced love, and finally the two came together.
And Xiao Gu and the rich man who pursued Xiaohong also had a sense of sincerity because of their sympathy, and finally the four of them returned to their belongings.
Since the start of this drama, it has suddenly occupied the first place in the ratings of satellite TV dramas, and has become the most popular TV series after this year.
On the Internet, it is exclusively played simultaneously on Youku Video, and as of that day, the total number of views on the network has exceeded 300 million.
This gave everyone a glimpse of the power of the Internet at once, and also made everyone realize that TV stations will not be the only broadcast platform for dramas.
Xiaoshu played by Zhang Jiayi, Xiaohong played by Yan Ni, and Xiao Gu played by Jiang Ying, even if they don't appear much, Zhao Xiaodao who plays Xiaohong's best friend.
With the broadcast of the TV series, they have gained good popularity.
Meantime......
Under the leadership of Wang Ye's company, Gu Yongjiang of Youku Video announced that the two sides would cooperate to shoot a real consciousness web drama.
As soon as this news came out, it shocked everyone in the circle, of course, Gu Yongjiang's decision is not optimistic, now the network is developed, and the number of netizens is increasing year by year, but some relevant experts believe that this is not enough to support a TV series.
If you just play it on the Internet, you may not even be able to recover the cost.
Everyone was waiting to see Gu Yongjiang's joke.
Gu Yongjiang held a convicted belief and announced to the public that they would cooperate with Wang Ye to shoot without seeing the script.
"Mao Liar?" When Gu Yongjiang saw the name of the script, a smile full of meaning appeared on his face, and this name had to make people reverie.
Wang Ye smiled: "Don't think about it, the "Mao" in "Mao Liar" means "small", this drama tells the story of five little liars in the rivers and lakes, who deceive the bad guys through strict serial scams on the street. ”
"Oh, that's what it means, but the name inevitably makes people think about it. Gu Yongjiang said with a 'hehe' smile.
Of course he knew what this meant, otherwise it would seem that he was so uneducated.
Recently, I heard some rumors that a large family in Kyoto was uprooted from the bottom up because of Wang Ye in an instant, which sounds quite shocking.
At first, he didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Wang Ye had such a strong background, but after listening to it too much, he had to believe that it was true.
The key is that the rumor has a nose and eyes, and then reminiscent of the time when Wang Ye was on the seven-point news, if there is no deep background, how can he be on the seven-point news.
So Wang Ye was draped in a mysterious veil.
"Mr. Wang, how much do you plan to invest in this drama, and what about the cast?" Gu Yongjiang asked: "Our company has no experience in this area, so please bother more." ”
Wang Ye smiled and glanced at Gu Yongjiang, this old fox really knows how to be a man, although it is cooperation, but it does not compete for dominance.
"Mr. Gu, don't be modest, I still know the strength of your company. Wang Ye said: "Our company only invests in this drama, and you still need to come to the real dominance, you are not afraid if you have no experience, who has experience from the beginning." ”
It's not that Wang Ye doesn't want to interfere, it's not that he doesn't like it, it's that he really doesn't have the energy, and he really can't do without people to manage this matter.
Give this stall to Gu Yongjiang, sell him a face, and give him some advice when necessary, and make money again, why not.
"Haha......" Hearing that Wang Ye let his company take the lead, Gu Yongjiang suddenly laughed, and Wang Ye's words made him very comfortable to listen to.
Although this is a web drama with small resources, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.
"Mr. Wang, you can't favor one over the other, no matter how small this drama is, your company has also invested, if you really can't spread out the manpower, I suggest you have to give a few no. ”
Wang Ye said: "Okay, then I'll give you a few suggestions, you listen to it first, whether you adopt it depends on your meaning." ”
Gu Yongjiang immediately put on a serious listening appearance, and even took out a notebook to take notes, which was presentable.
"First, the drama is divided into three parts to start filming, first shoot the first part to try the market reaction, and then see the market reaction.
Therefore, the investment should not be too large, I think the first set at 5 million, the 5 million we add 21 to 5, half of the family. ”
In his memory, this drama has a high rating, but the production is really bad, since he has the name of their company and is a screenwriter himself, he doesn't want to be criticized in terms of production.
I thought that five million should be about the same, although five million can't make as many star dramas as possible, but it's okay.
"Second, in terms of actors, because it is an online drama, I want to find actors who have become famous to act, and they will not come back, even if they can come, we can't afford this salary, so we go to major film schools to find actors who have acting skills, but are not popular. ”
"Third, it is the profit point, if this drama is only broadcast on the Internet, the profit point is relatively single, except for the membership income of the video site, I think there is no other.
So we can cleverly add a little advertising to the episode, but the first part should not be too much, nor too blunt, in short, it should be reasonable. ”
"We can't just see the immediate benefits, we have to look at this matter with a long-term vision, as long as this drama is successful, are we afraid that we won't be able to make money in the future?"
Gu Yongjiang kept nodding his head, and he really wrote and drew in his notebook.
