Chapter 450: Not favored

The scripts of popular TV dramas are about 15,000 to 20,000 words per episode, but sitcoms need at least 50,000 words per episode.

Because the shooting method of sitcoms is relatively simple, it is very different from the scenes of dozens and hundreds of people in motion, and many small details require special attention.

For the screenwriter, this is indeed a huge test, the whole script must not only be consistent, but also more distinctly highlight the characteristics of the characters, and even the emotions must be written into the script.

This is also the reason why sitcoms are so rare in this world. Compared with TV dramas, the story framework of sitcoms is too small, and if the plot arrangement is slightly unreasonable, it will affect the ratings.

In the past, various companies have tested the waters, but the effect has never been ideal, so they basically gave up this path and turned to specializing in pop dramas.

"Are you sure you want to do a sitcom?" Sitting in front of Chen Yongren's computer, Gao Fan looked at the script in the document that had not yet had time to print, and said in surprise.

"Well, with the company's current financial resources, the only thing that can be done is a sitcom. Chen Yongren sat on the sofa, drinking the freshly brewed tea, and said casually.

When he saw Gao Fan last night, Chen Yongren wanted to pull him in to take a look at the script, but considering that Gao Fan had been running outside for a day and had written the script for a whole day, he didn't have the experience to discuss this matter at all, so he put it on the next day.

"I understand your feelings, and I know what you mean. It's not that I'm here to hit you, I'm really not optimistic about this show. Gao Fan closed the file, stood up and shook his head at Chen Yongren.

"I know that. Chen Yongren smiled naturally, he had long expected that this would be the result, but in fact, not only Gao Fan, but no one would be optimistic about this script after seeing it.

The reason is very simple, this script is so simple, so simple that even if the script is given to a big-name director, they may not know what kind of effect this drama should be?

The whole script only explains the filming location and the character dialogue, and even the emotions that the most basic character dialogue in a sitcom should have are not described.

For example, in the play, there is a dialogue between Kuroto and the fruit seller, and when Kuroteji abuses idioms, what kind of tone should Kuroto Kizo use?

And this also caused the number of words in Chen Yongren's script to drop sharply, and one episode was not even 10,000 words, and the whole article was full of blunt dialogue, which made people very clueless when they watched it.

"We don't have any professional talent on the website side, but I've already asked people to recruit them, and it won't be long before the website will be officially put into use. You don't have to be in a hurry, after all, this is not something that can be done in a hurry.

When the time comes, let's think of more ideas and do more self-created small programs to attract audiences. Gao Fan continued to persuade.

"Mr. Gao, I am ready to create my own small program, what is lacking now is only people, as long as there are people, you can start at any time. Let's not worry about this matter for now, let's talk about the script first. Chen Yongren smiled slightly, but persuaded Gao Fandao.

To be honest, Chen Yongren, a self-made program on the Internet, is not worried, and there is nothing to worry about. Although some self-made programs have appeared on major websites now, in addition to the production level is not bad, the content is a bit boring.

There are all kinds of self-made programs, but there are very few of them. In this world, online video companies are still competing with each other for the right to broadcast a high-rated program on the TV station, rather than slowly challenging major TV stations like in that world, and even sending some self-made programs into TV programs.

For example, "Easy Moment", "Never Expected" and other types of programs just need to be taken out. However, Chen Yongren's real purpose is not to dominate the field of online video, but to use it as a springboard to jump higher and farther.

"Okay, let's talk about your script. Overall, I'm not optimistic. In addition to the scenes and character dialogues in the script, there is nothing left, and such a script cannot be filmed at all. Gao Fan was a little depressed, but Chen Yongren was the boss, and he still expressed his opinion.

"Why can't I shoot it? The whole story framework is in my head, and I know how to shoot every scene and what kind of effect I want.

The reason why the script is not written is to avoid the actors watching too much, which will affect their performance. Chen Yongren explained with a serious face.

As for the latter reason, it is completely nonsense, only when the description is clear, the actor will play better, and integrate his own characteristics. Chen Yongren did this not so much because he was worried about the actors, but because he wanted to be lazy.

Thinking about it, if it is written according to the original play, even everyone's facial expressions and movements are written, then when will the script be written? Besides, Chen Yongren can be lazy by doing this, and secondly, he can direct on the spot, and the whole drama can be performed exactly according to his requirements.

"Okay, you're the boss, and you're justified in what you say, but I'm still the same opinion. Gao Fan said helplessly.

There is power in the hands, but that is for other people. If Chen Yongren insisted that he had to make this drama, Gao Fan would have no way to stop it. After all, the company belongs to Chen Yongren, and even if he loses money, it is Chen Yongren's own money. As the external vice president, the only thing Gao Fan can do is to express his views, put forward some warnings to Chen Yongren, and try to avoid losing a lot of money due to some wrong decisions.

"Mr. Gao, don't worry, it's my own company, I can't take it to death, right? Seeing that Gao Fan was a little emotional, Chen Yongren replied.

Although he has made some achievements in music, no one will refute the songs he has written. But on the road of film and television, he is a complete rookie in the eyes of everyone, and it is normal for Gao Fan not to be optimistic about himself. Therefore, if you want to solve this problem completely, you still have to use results to speak.

Therefore, even if Gao Fan is not optimistic about himself, this drama must be filmed. Not only to shoot, but also to shoot the best. There will always be a first time, as long as this time can be successful, there will not be so much resistance next time.

"Well, you have the say. Gao Fan sighed, quite unwilling to read the latest chapter of "China Entertainment's Legendary Director Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
