The quality of the dramas with a total budget of more than 30 million is indeed not ordinary, although this version of "Gang of Men" is very different from the original "Gang of Men", but whether it is the video quality, the content of the plot, or even the performance of the actors, it is remarkable, not only Lu Yang will smile from time to time when he watches it, but Wang Lin and Wu Yongjun next to him also let out a chuckle from time to time.

This is the charm of urban comedy, it does not need to be too twisty and too deep in the plot, it is enough to make the audience feel relaxed and happy.

This is very similar to the nature of online articles!

Traditional novels always like to write about human nature and profundity, as if works that can't analyze human nature and have no profound connotation are rubbish.

Online articles are not considered so much, and many masters of writing online articles have a criterion - that is, how to make readers feel comfortable to write, and never write plots that make readers feel sadistic.

This is the essential difference between online texts and traditional novels.

Lu Yang looked at this version of "Gang of Men" and couldn't help but think of these, in his memory, in 2013, there were still many traditional writers who couldn't figure out the essential difference between online novels and traditional novels. It seems correct to define all works published on the Internet as online articles, but in fact, they don't understand anything at all, but such a vague definition makes many people who are not clear about the core of online articles believe that it is true.

If the difference between online writing and traditional novels is only like this, then why do many traditional writers devote themselves to writing online literature when they see that online writers make a lot of money, but they are always denied entry?

Lu Yang read too much of the remarks of those traditional writers, and those people tried to write online articles. After failing all the time, I always blame the reader for the reason, saying that the reader doesn't know how to appreciate it.

I don't know what their online article is. didn't figure it out, and flipped through one or two online articles with resistance and contempt, and thought that he had already understood the online text, which was simply ridiculous and generous.

Why can online articles rise rapidly, and why can hundreds of millions of people like and obsess?

When analyzed, it seems that there are many reasons, but in fact, there is only one real reason - the author of the online article has captured the hearts of readers!

To put it more bluntly, it is something written by the author of the online article. The purpose of a qiē plot is to make the reader feel good! Many authors say that everyone is in real life. I'm already tired of living, and I read novels in order to relax myself and find happiness, not bad feelings!

Readers want to see cool plots. Online writers are trying to meet the needs of readers in this regard. What kind of humanity and bullshit connotation do traditional authors want to make, and readers are tired of reading it?

This point is reflected in film and television works, which are either remakes of the classic works in everyone's impression again and again, or palace fighting dramas, short soap operas in parents, or because of holding the wrong child, several families and three generations have decades of grievances and hatreds, and everyone has to make everyone unhappy. It feels deep!

The reason why film and television works appear this strange appearance is, in the final analysis. Or in this era, it is the traditional writers who have the right to speak in words, and these guys are best at those things.

Lu Yang's mobile phone rang suddenly, and the ringing of the mobile phone called him back from a moment of distraction, only then did he realize that he was thinking a little far, and he couldn't help but smile.

may be because his status in the online literary circle is getting higher and higher, but the mainstream literary world always belittles online literature, Lu Yang finds that he has become more and more disgusted with traditional novels and traditional film and television dramas recently, and there will always be some dissatisfaction.

Is this what the ancients said about the contemptibility of literati?

Lu Yang smiled at Wang Lin and Wu Yongjun who came over, and while taking out his mobile phone, he was still slightly distracted, and the ringing of the mobile phone just now attracted the attention of Wang Lin and Wu Yongjun.

took out his mobile phone, and Lu Yang found that the message was sent by Dao Xinyi.

"Lu Yang, are you free today? I want to treat you to a meal after work, last time you helped me send my dad home, I haven't thanked you yet!"

Dao Xinyi's text message to invite him to dinner.

Lu Yang didn't have to think about it to know that he had just arrived at the crew today, and it was impossible for him to have time to eat with her, he would definitely have dinner with Wang Lin and them tonight, and he would probably have to go to see the post-production of "Dragon and Snake Strike" in the evening, and the first trailer of "Dragon and Snake Strike" was still waiting for him to see it first!

Therefore, Lu Yang replied to Dao Xinyi with a smile: "I'm afraid I don't have time today, let's do it tomorrow! I'll invite you tomorrow!"

After the text message was sent, Lu Yang turned his mobile phone to vibrate, not wanting to affect Wang Lin and Wu Yongjun watching the sample film of "Gang of Men".

Dao Xinyi replied quickly.

"Okay, then tomorrow! There will be no role for me for the next two days. ”

"Well, good. ”

This is Lu Yang's reply.

After Lu Yang's reply, Dao Xinyi didn't send another message, and Lu Yang also packed up his feelings and continued to watch the four episodes of "Gang of Men", with exquisite picture quality, relaxed and funny plots, and dazzling beauties that appear from time to time, if Lu Yang is asked to score, he should be able to give 8 points.

Well, if it's a 10-point scale.

After watching all four episodes of sample films, it was already dark outside, and Wang Wei's shooting task today had been completed, and when he was playing the second half of the third episode, he gently opened the door and walked in, and accompanied Lu Yang and them to watch it together.

After all four episodes were played, Wang Lin, Wang Wei, and Wu Yongjun all looked at Lu Yang, and Wang Lin asked with a smile: "Wenda!

This question is also what Wang Wei and Wu Yongjun want to ask, especially Wang Wei, who is directing a TV series for the first time, seems a little nervous at this time, a person in his thirties, at this time he is still like a primary school student waiting for a teacher's evaluation, subconsciously sitting upright, putting his hands on his knees, spreading them out for a while, and clenching them into fists for a while.

Lu Yang glanced at his restless hands amusedly, and didn't want to whet his appetite, he reached out and clapped his palms, and praised with a smile: "That's right! Let's sell the first round of broadcast rights! I'm waiting for your good news! The crew will continue to work hard and keep improving! At least maintain the current level of these four episodes! No problem, right?"

The latter sentence was asked by looking at Wang Wei and Wu Yongjun.

was affirmed by Lu Yang, and the two directors and assistant directors were relieved. Hearing Lu Yang's final request, both of them smiled and promised to work harder.

That night, Wang Lin had a treat. Wang Wei and Wu Yongjun, the directors and assistants of "Gang of Men", as well as Yuan Xuan, the director of "Dragon and Snake Strike", and Wu Gang, the editor of "Dragon and Snake Attack", accompanied and invited Lu Yang to dinner.

At the banquet, everyone's main topic was the two works "Gang of Men" and "Dragon and Snake Strike", Wang Wei and Yuan Xuan both told Lu Yang good news.

Wang Wei said that the filming progress of "Gang of Men" is getting faster and faster, and in about two months, it should be possible to complete the production.

Meantime. There should be no problem with this drama recovering its costs, because according to the national regulations, a drama has the right to broadcast the first round. It can be sold to up to four provincial satellite TVs, and at present, seven satellite TVs have expressed interest in watching samples of this drama, as long as they can be successfully sold to four provincial satellite TVs, according to the current market of urban dramas. The price of a single episode is generally around 200,000-300,000. About 30 episodes of "Gang of Men", the first round of broadcast rights alone can sell about 30 million.

The total budget of "Gang of Men" is about 30 million, and the first round of broadcast rights can be sold for about 30 million, which seems to be only able to protect the capital, but in fact, it is not! As mentioned earlier, this "Gang of Men" has nearly 20 million in various sponsorship fees and naming rights. In fact, Lu Yang and Wang Lin's investment is only about 10 million.

Count it this way. It doesn't make a lot of money, and, in addition to the first round of broadcast rights, you can also sell the second round of broadcast rights later, and even sell permanent copyrights.

Well, there's also web copyright.

In recent years, although the management of the network copyright of TV dramas is very chaotic, and piracy is flying all over the sky, some regular large-scale websites still dare not take the pirated version lightly, the TV series is not an online article, and the online text is stolen.

The good news that Yuan Xuan brought to Lu Yang is that the post-production zuò of "Dragon and Snake Strike" should be completed in early September.

In this way, "Dragon and Snake Strike" can be scheduled to be released in October, avoiding the Chinese New Year file where strong films gather.

The last time "The Gate of Rebirth" strayed into the Chinese New Year file and bumped into "007 vs. Casino Royale", "Disciple", "Wonderful Night at the Museum" and other big-name productions, Lu Yang's heart has been apprehensive. Where do you dare to let "Dragon and Snake Strike" also be crowded in the New Year file?

Just one "Ip Man" made him feel bottomless, if "Dragon and Snake Strike" and "Ip Man" collided in the same schedule, there would definitely be no good consequences.

After dinner, Wang Wei and Wu Yongjun, who will continue filming tomorrow, said goodbye and returned to the hotel, Lu Yang and Wang Lin followed Yuan Xuan and editor Wu Gang to the editing room of "Dragon and Snake Strike", accompanied by several people, Lu Yang watched the first cut version of "Dragon and Snake Strike", after watching it, Lu Yang did not immediately express his opinion, but asked to continue to play the first trailer.

After reading it all, Lu Yang sighed in his heart, Yuan Xuan is worthy of being Hong Kong's top martial arts instructor and veteran director, and the action design in the film is very tense! Combined with the special effects of the previous and later production zuò, the style is sharp and each has its own school, and the kung fu of each master who appears has its own unique style.

The special effects are not exaggerated, and the action design has a combat style, but it is slightly higher than the actual combat style!

This is the kind of high-martial arts kung fu movie that Lu Yang wants!

After watching it all, there was silence in the editing room, Wang Lin scattered cigarettes one by one, and a few old smoking guns were there to swallow clouds and smoke, waiting for Lu Yang's evaluation.

Wang Lin wanted to light a cigarette for Lu Yang, Lu Yang waved his hand, squinted his eyes slightly, and while playing with the cigarette in his hand, he recalled the first cut version of "Dragon and Snake Strike" and the trailer he had just watched, and at the same time, he was also organizing his own words.

Wang Lin and Yuan Xuan didn't urge, they waited patiently, and when they finished smoking a cigarette, Lu Yang showed a little smile and said: "Not bad! The trailer is like this! It can be sent out! The first cut version will speed up the plot advancement! Don't cut it at the beginning! There are too many cuts at the beginning, and the story is not clear, which will affect the audience's sense of substitution......"

Lu Yang said sentence by sentence, all he said was his feeling from the audience's point of view, he didn't need any profound themes in this movie, just a wonderful story!
