Chapter 405: Dilemma

We've found a good script and we're ready to shoot it, so I'll give you a brief overview of the project. Yu Xiaowan, who has entered the working state, has amazing energy, and after straightening out several TV drama studios in the hands of Aurora Culture, she began to make plans for the development of new dramas.

"This is a military-themed TV series, describing the magnificent life of a soldier during the Anti-Japanese War, Liberation and Anti-American Resistance, the script is very good, the melodrama is heartstrings, and the characters are vivid and full,......"

Listening to Yu Xiaowan's unhurried introduction, Liu Ruoyi opened the introduction of the script and couldn't help laughing when she opened the title.

"Bright Sword"!

This is one of the best TV dramas in the future Anti-Japanese War, dominating the ratings and replaying thousands of times.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaowan actually took a fancy to it, and she didn't know how to find this script.

Needless to say, in Liu Ruoyi's heart, this drama Aurora Culture is decided!

's thoughts transcended reality, and he returned to the era when Liu Ruoyi had seen this play, the version in his previous life was well-made, both the picture and the actors were all the pinnacle of that era.

Such a classic, Liu Ruoyi is now thinking about how not to be destroyed by Aurora culture. Now that I have got this script in advance, it shows that the world is starting to be more and more different, and the director and cast will naturally be different.

However, for Li Yunlong, the soul character, Liu Ruoyi still hopes that it is the original one!

What's his name?

Although I recalled the pictures of the classic scenes of "Bright Sword" in my mind, the protagonist also appeared very clearly in Liu Ruoyi's memory, but Liu Ruoyi couldn't remember the actor's name for a while.

......

"To sum up, I think this drama not only carries forward the fine revolutionary tradition, but also has excellent story elements to attract the audience, and I think it is worth our investment. ”

When Liu Ruoyi was wandering outside the world, Yu Xiaowan ended her introduction.

Although Yu Xiaowan is now in charge of the TV drama business, she does not dare and will not be good at the establishment of major theme projects, so the establishment of each important TV series will be reviewed by the company's senior management.

"I think there is no problem with this theme, and it is a responsibility of our TV people to do a good job in the theme of revolutionary history, but the budget for the filming of this TV series is a bit high, have you evaluated the return on investment of this drama?"

Senior Sister Liu Yang saw the budget table, her eyelids jumped, and Yu Xiaowan, who planned to shoot 45 episodes of "Bright Sword", listed a budget of more than 30 million.

"No way, there are a lot of big scenes in this play, and if you want to reproduce these big scenes, the cost is indeed a bit high. Yu Xiaowan explained with some embarrassment. "In addition, we have little contact with the army now, and it is more expensive to replace some big war scenes with extras. ”

"In terms of cost, don't think too much about saving money, but focus on restoring the effect of the scene in the original work," Liu Ruoyi saw that Senior Sister Liu Yang seemed to have a lot of complaints on the budget, and hurriedly came out to express her opinion, such a classic masterpiece fell into the hands of Aurora Culture, and this classic could not be destroyed because of financial problems.

"Considering the authenticity of the restoration of the battle scenes, it is difficult to guarantee the effect of using extras to play the battle scenes, we will see through various channels whether we can contact the troops, and strive to cooperate through joint recording, the effect should be more realistic and shocking. ”

Why Liu Ruoyi watched a lot of anti-Japanese "thunder dramas" in his previous life, the fundamental reason is that in addition to the screenwriter's nonsense and the director's distraction, most of the people who participated in the performance of the thunder drama battle scenes were made of horizontal drifting migrant workers, and no one cared about the rationality of the battle, anyway, they could do whatever they wanted.

With the participation of troops, it is very different, at least many low-level mistakes or whimsical things will be corrected by the officers and men participating in the exercise.

"Our company has not yet had any contact with the troops, and the number of people participating in this kind of large-scale performance is not small, and I am afraid that it will take a very high-level leadership to make a decision. It's hard for us to move this forward. Yu Xiaowan was very happy to hear Liu Ruoyi's support, but when she heard that she was going to find a real army to create this TV series, her face immediately switched to a wry smile and retreated.

This is a bit beyond her ability, like some scenes in this TV series that need to create tens of thousands of people to fight and kill, no matter how much you save people to simulate this scene, you have to use hundreds of people, and the dispatch of troops of this scale will probably have to be approved at the level of the military region.

"There is no rush to conclude this, and we will discuss it to see if there is a good way to solve this problem. Liu Ruoyi just proposed, not asking for an immediate solution.

"But in terms of actors, what do we think about, is it just considering the actors under our Aurora Culture now, or is it a nationwide screening?" Liu Ruoyi then asked.

"The cast hasn't been thought out yet, and it stands to reason that we will choose our artists as the mainstay, so that our own artists will have more opportunities to appear on the camera and grow faster. But this drama is a big drama, and the investment is so high, I am still worried that if only the artists of our company are considered, they may not fully meet the conditions of the protagonist in the play. Yu Xiaowan replied with some hesitation.

"I personally suggest that the main actors should not be limited in scope, and should be selected from a national scale, since it is a big drama, each link still considers the principle of taking the filming of this drama as the highest consideration. When Liu Ruoyi heard this, if she continues like this, there is a high probability that she will not be able to shoot the effect in her memory, which is not good.

It's just that Liu Ruoyi is a last resort, and has never interfered in the operation of the people below, and now if this drama is rashly interfered, it will not only break her own rules, but also make it very difficult for Yu Xiaowan to do.

But if you don't participate in the selection of the protagonist, can this play still choose the familiar actor in your previous life?

Liu Ruoyi began to feel a little distressed for her prophetic foresight for the first time, this is really a little unlikely, since this drama accidentally fell into the hands of Aurora Culture, from the producer to the director and producer, there is a high probability that the actor will become a stranger.

What to do?

Liu Ruoyi couldn't think of any good way to solve this contradictory problem even if she had time.

"Okay," Yu Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that Liu Ruoyi's brain would be hot and she would criticize her work. On the work of TV dramas, Yu Xiaowan is still relatively confident in herself, although Liu Ruoyi has always been known for her unique vision, Yu Xiaowan still doesn't believe that Liu Ruoyi can be so omniscient and omnipotent in specific implementation, which is completely unscientific.

There is still a lot of work to be done in the filming of "Bright Sword", and it is only through the project review of the senior management of Aurora Culture, after all, the investment in this drama is no less than that of a big movie and a big production, and a lot of preliminary work needs to be done before it can enter the substantive filming preparation stage, so Liu Ruoyi still has time to find a way to solve the problem of confirming the starring characters she is familiar with.

"Super Girl", which is gradually coming to an end in the audition, is constantly criticized by critics, as if it is specially slapping experts in the face, and the ratings are getting higher and higher episode by episode, breaking 2, 3, and 4.......

It seems that there is no limit at all along the way, and he directly entered the top three ranks of the variety show!

You must know that the platform of this show is only the little-known Qionghai Satellite TV variety show, just like "Meteor Garden" made the ratings of Qionghai Satellite TV's TV drama column come out like a comet and took the top spot to shock the industry, "Super Girl" has also begun to become the new trump card of Qionghai Satellite TV to fight for the hegemony of variety shows!

Those satellite TV that refused to cooperate with "Super Girl" in the audition and preliminary round in the early days are now almost repentant, and no one thought that "Super Girl" would become a god-like variety show so quickly.

If you agreed to cooperate at the beginning, although it is only the audition and preliminary stage, but this is a long process of one episode a week that lasts for several months, even if the content broadcast is only in this area, it is a little different from Qionghai Satellite TV's editing of the auditions in the five major regions, but looking at the current situation, it is at least a popular variety show that can break 2.

The person in charge who chose to refuse at the beginning, at this time, felt like someone was poking his backbone at any time in the TV station, and he felt very uncomfortable.

However, the rare skill of vision is obviously not possessed by everyone, and in the face of the sudden rise of Qionghai Satellite TV, local satellite TV stations only have envy, jealousy and hatred. Of course, people with fast brains began to contact Jinhai Aurora to discuss whether they could introduce the programs under Jinhai Aurora Culture.

Whether it's "Meteor Garden" or "Super Girl", all of them are the fat they are targeting.

For these requests, Liu Ruoyi after careful consideration, and finally gave the conditions for exchanging the broadcast of ace dramas, and reached an agreement with the two satellite TVs to broadcast the "Meteor Garden" at the wrong time, so that when Qionghai Satellite TV rebroadcasts "Meteor Garden", there are three different satellite TV stations across the country to broadcast "Meteor Garden" with different progress.

Although this will undoubtedly divert Qionghai Satellite TV's customers and cause a certain decline in ratings, the popular TV series of other satellite TV stations exchanged will effectively fill the vacancy left after the broadcast of "Meteor Garden" and support the field of Qionghai Satellite TV's TV drama column.

After all, a column can't be sustained by a TV series. The popular new dramas of the two satellite TV channels exchanged back have begun to contribute to the reputation of Qionghai Satellite TV as a high-quality TV drama channel.

At the same time, because it is the second round of rebroadcast, Liu Ruoyi's strategy of controlling this drama not to go too far is still very effective, and releasing more partners will not affect the implementation of this strategy, but can maximize the benefits of this drama.

From the perspective of return on investment, although the first round of advertising investment did not start smoothly, but after it came out with jaw-dropping ratings, the first round of advertising time of "Meteor Garden" still sold at a good price to recover the cost.

Now the second round of broadcast is basically a net profit, and on this basis, two good popular dramas can be exchanged back, although it is also the second round of broadcasting, which will also earn back a lot of advertising money for Qionghai Satellite TV.

In the early development process of Qionghai Satellite TV's TV drama channel, there was such a portal-like start, which was enough to be recorded in the history of TV dramas in the development of satellite TV.

This is just the TV series, transferred to the "Meteor Garden" movie, Li Shaohong got her wish and won the director of "Meteor Garden", and began to audition the male and female protagonists nationwide according to Liu Ruoyi's plan.

For a while, director Li Shaohong became the most eye-catching director in the country, and everyone knows what the result will be once selected with this popularity. Even if he was unknown before, he will become popular instantly after being selected for the role of F4 in this play!

For most actors, such an opportunity may only be encountered once in a lifetime!

"I can't stand it, Mr. Liu, I think the decision of this protagonist is still decided collectively by the company. After being bombarded by an overwhelming number of related households, Director Li Shaohong ran to Liu Yang's office to complain.

In terms of personality, Director Li is not too tough, so in her movies or TV series, there have always been more related households, after all, she and Yu Xiaowan's company can develop, and there are many times when they get help from all aspects.

Now that he has changed to a new owner, Director Li knows that it is not appropriate to do this again, although it is said that in this movie, whether it is Liu Yang or Liu Ruoyi, she is fully authorized, in fact, Director Li has the final decision.

But now that the news of the audition for the protagonist has been released, so many related households have been introduced, and it is still difficult for Director Li to refuse every one of them, so Director Li decided to decide rather than this!

I can't afford to offend so many people!

"Director Li, we have discussed this matter in advance, will it be inappropriate to do this?" Liu Yang was a little crying and laughing, and there was such a director who would rather not have the right to decide, she had also lived to see her for a long time.

"It's suitable, it's really suitable!Mr. Liu, don't you know, I don't even have much free time at night these days, and there are seven or eight old relationships that invite guests every night, who can stand it, this day is really unbearable!" Director Li said with a bitter face.

"Okay, but we don't look at these things as Annie's vision, so you can sort out the information, take out the protagonist candidates that you think have hope or some potential, and send them to Annie, so that Annie can make the final decision. Liu Yang heard Director Li say such an exaggerated, and he didn't want to provoke him, so he quickly threw the pot out and threw it to Liu Ruoyi to make decisions.

"Okay, I think Mr. Liu's method can also be used, I'll sort it out when I go back, and then inform everyone that this matter is decided by the company's collective discussion. Director Li Shaohong is still very kind-hearted and did not lead all the troubles to Liu Ruoyi alone.

In this way, Liu Ruoyi will not bear the pressure of intercession in all aspects alone, although it is said that Liu Ruoyi has no iron connections to use now.
