Chapter 142: It's Your Matter!(Two in one, thanks to Aaron Alliance Leader)
The two drank and chatted, and Zhou Xing talked about the sitcom and the idea of "Wulin Gaiden", which made Guo Chao a little interested, but he still had concerns. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Guo Chao has no opinion on investing in TV series, but if he is a sole proprietor, Guo Chao is worried that the risk is too great, he doesn't care if he loses his money, there is a laughing star factory, and he can earn it again if he is gone, he is worried that he is afraid of losing money, and finally the laughing star factory will be brought down.
After all, sitcoms are a new thing, Zhou Xing knows that before the finished film comes out, basically no one will be optimistic, even Zhou Xing himself never dared to write a sitcom script at will before, it was too difficult and too brain-consuming.
It is a long story with dozens of episodes and hundreds of episodes, which requires a combination of a lot of jokes and burdens, and the rhythm is bright, and it can't be delayed like a TV series, because TV dramas can constantly switch scenes, while sitcoms only have three or two scenes, relying on the skill of the script's lines.
If the rhythm plot slows down a little, the audience will get bored and switch to the channel.
Such a high-quality long article, no team can't play it at all, and only a madman like Ning Caishen can do it, write and shoot at the same time, and finally become like that.
The reason why Qi Jianxun supports Zhou Xing is because he has accumulated enough in this industry, and he no longer needs to rely on his works to prove himself, and he is now in a bottleneck period, wanting to take a new path, but he doesn't know where to start.
At this time, Zhou Xing proposed a sitcom, and the two hit it off!
When a person reaches a realm and height, he is no longer satisfied with repeating the previous things, but will try new things by all means, and the sitcom that Zhou Xing said greatly aroused Qi Jianxun's interest.
What Qi Jianxun pursues is the process of trying this new thing. He feels that this is a combination of TV drama and drama, and it is a creative model that can inspire him countless times.
As for whether anyone will buy this sitcom when it is filmed, whether it can make money, and whether it will be accepted, Qi Jianxun doesn't care.
Of course, Zhou Xing himself knows how popular every wonderful sitcom in his previous life is!
Since the first sitcom, almost every few years, a popular sitcom has come out, which is not only a reflection of real society, but also a reflection of real phenomena, which makes people think deeply after laughing.
Even a costume drama like "Wulin Gaiden" also incorporated a large number of social elements at that time, such as the draft, such as Mo Xiaobei's crossing.
Of course, Zhou Xing also recognized some of Guo Chao's words, especially in terms of the cost of sitcoms, he really thought too simply.
Zhou Xing remembered that when CCTV bought the copyright of "Wulin Gaiden", it was 500,000 yuan per episode, and the production cost was 200,000 yuan per episode.
Eighty episodes add up, and you need eight million!
This is indeed not a small number, and if you invest exclusively in production, it is not something that the current laughter factory can afford.
In fact, if he hadn't known and been familiar with Qi Jianxun, Zhou Xing would not have moved the idea of filming a TV series so quickly.
In addition, if he hadn't drawn memory beads before, Zhou Xing wouldn't dare to shoot film and television dramas at will, because many lines are classic and expressive, and he can't remember so much, so if he rashly tries to write a screenplay, he can only destroy the classics.
However, even if the cost of "Wulin Gaiden" in the previous life was 100,000 per episode, if Zhou Xing wanted to shoot it, he would definitely not spend so much.
First of all, in terms of actors, they can provide a few, and in the later stage, they can find some celebrity cameos like "Wulin Gaiden", and the salary will be low.
In addition, because Zhou Xing has a reference, it avoids the loss of shooting waste films, although the camera is not a film but a digital storage, and the film will not be lost, but one more day of delay, one more day of rent, as well as props, costumes rental fees, as well as staff salaries and accommodation costs.
Although these are not seen much individually, the crew adds up, multiplied by the number of days filmed, and it is a lot of money!
In terms of music and sound effects, Zhou Xing can now do it himself and restore those tunes, saving the cost of arranging and sound effects, don't underestimate this part, it's not a small amount.
There are a lot of other aspects, in the case of the original reference, Zhou Xing can save that money, but even if it is reduced by half, their money is still not enough.
"Could it be...... Are you really looking for an investor?" Zhou Xing pondered while lying on the bed at home.
After thinking for a while, Zhou Xing, who was a little irritable, put on the quilt.
"Forget it, let's write the script first, what to do when the time comes, it will take a while, it's time to earn some extra money!"
Closing his eyes, Zhou Xing's even breathing sound sounded on the kung fu bed after a while.
Early the next morning, Zhou Xing still got up early to practice.
In fact, every day when he came over, Zhou Xing looked forward to seeing the strange old man, even if his father warned him.
It's not that Zhou Xing wanted to stammer after he learned from his father that he was a general, but Zhou Xing wanted to ask him if he had a way to investigate what happened to him back then.
Because Zhou Xing really can't think of who he has offended or what big people he has had a holiday with, but the attitude of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is a little extraordinary, and the handling of himself is extremely strange, which cannot but make people suspicious.
Among the people that Zhou Xing can rely on and have some energy, there are only Teacher Cui and Master Guo Mingshun.
But if Mr. Cui had a way, he would definitely be able to figure it out for himself back then, without Zhou Xing saying it. As for the master, although he has a lot of energy in the circle, Guangdian is the big boss in the circle, and he still can't reach it.
And the other party has such a great ability, don't master figure it out, and if he gets into it again, it will be even more than worth the loss.
Now that it's hard to know a general, of course Zhou Xing wants to know him.
It's just that it's been more than a month, and the other party hasn't appeared again, which makes Zhou Xing extremely disappointed.
After returning home and having breakfast, Zhou Xing went out.
Yesterday he made an appointment with Guo Chao, and today he will take him to contact a processing factory specializing in making props.
Now that the rematch of the cross talk sketch contest has ended, it is time to prepare for the rematch of "Super Comedian".
Although he already knew that he would not be able to make it to the finals, Zhou Xing would not be stupid enough to retire rashly.
Their theme song and promotional video have been used by them for so long, and if they don't charge some interest back, wouldn't it be a loss!
Such a good opportunity to show his face, of course Zhou Xing will not miss it, not only will he not retreat, but he will also make a big work that slaps them in the face!
Just like on the stage of the finals of the second season of "Super Comedian" that year, although Happy Twist's "The Return of the Great Sage" lost to Xiao Yueyue's cross talk and stopped as runner-up, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and the audience's eyes are bright.
In fact, Zhou Xing participated in the comedian, it doesn't matter whether he wins the award or not, the gold content of that award is far worse than CCTV's, the important thing is the opportunity to show his face and perform!
One more performance, one more chance to increase your fame and reputation!
Like this, it is not easy to show your face for ten minutes in the prime time of David TV, which ranks among the top five in the national ratings. Others want to advertise for 10 seconds in prime time, at least seventy or eighty thousand at a time, and the duration of "The Return of the Great Sage" is dozens of times that of them, which is worth millions!
But Zhou Xing still feels that he has lost, not to mention the popularity that he brought to the show by fighting fires and the exposure of surveillance videos, the theme song alone has been used for more than a month, and it is also a lot of copyright fees.
Originally, with Zhou Xing's level and wonderful works, it would not be a problem for him to enter the finals and win the championship, but he was blocked from the finals by this kind of backstage manipulation, and the opportunity to perform was lost, which was naturally a big loss.
The choreography of "The Return of the Great Sage" is very exquisite, and today Zhou Xing not only has to customize props, but also go to the advertising company to make background LED pictures.
However, Guo Chao, who is familiar with all of these, took him to run, which saved a lot of effort.
The props are easy, Zhou Xing compares and describes, the factory is clear, and the cow lice big balloon is no problem.
However, when the advertising agency described the style of the background image to the designer, it encountered a problem, after all, a complex background picture must not be described by description alone.
In the end, Zhou Xing had no choice but to use the other party's colored pencils to draw the background according to the appearance in his memory.
Although Zhou Xing has never studied painting, he has helped a lot by drawing "Comic Techniques" before, although it is a comic, but the comic is similar to the sketch in painting, which especially tests the skills of lines.
Relying on such technology, Zhou Xing sketched out the original background picture in his memory, and the rest of the coloring was simple.
"You've also studied art?" the designer was amazed.
Zhou Xing smiled: "I'm more interested in comics." ”
"No wonder, looking at the smooth outline of your lines, you must have met an expert!"
With diagrams, design is easy.
In the end, Zhou Xing asked them to make a dynamic picture, the kind of misty clouds, and then left.
In addition to the choreography, there is also the last song "Wukong" and Qiu Jirong's dance.
The design of this link is not simply to set off the atmosphere and attract the high tide when the Great Sage is exposed at the end, but the Great Sage that Zhou Xing wants to play is coarse cloth clothes at the beginning, and he needs this time to change his clothes.
After Zhou Xing, the score of "Wukong", was written, he registered the copyright on the Internet, and then asked Guo Chao's wife Jiang Li to help him find a professional to record it.
If you want to sing this song well, it takes a certain amount of strength to sing that kind of taste, of course Zhou Xing can't control it as a layman, otherwise the atmosphere will not be set off by then, but the audience will sing and laugh, then he will cry without a place to cry!
As for dancing, Zhou Xing wanted Jura to try it.
It's been a few years since she graduated, and Jura is still hanging among the fourth-tier stars, and with such an opportunity, of course Zhou Xing has to take her.
In terms of dance skills, Zhou Xing is not worried about Zhu La, she has been learning dance since she was a child, and she has never broken it now, Qiu Jirong's dance was not difficult at the beginning, Zhou Xing planned to teach Zhu La by memorizing one movement after another, and then let her string it herself.
Regarding actors, Zhou Xing played the big sage played by Wang Ning at the beginning, and Guo Chao played the stupid big guy played by Allen in "Today's Happiness" this time, and the big horse monkey in "The Return of the Great Sage" was played by Allen, and Guo Chao played it just right.
And the other main character is the Bull Demon King, Zhou Xing prefers Liu Wei's big pie face, and he is arrogant like a demon king in the world, and his arrogance is needed in the sketch to stimulate the audience's hatred, just like the abuser in the novel, when the bullying of the protagonist is enough to bully, the great sage should fight back!
And a key figure is Tai Baixing, who came to send the hoop spell, and the original version was a cameo by Shen Teng.
In the second season of "Happy Comedian", Happy Twist has always been at the bottom in the first few issues, and was almost eliminated several times, but in the final final, Shen Teng came back, Wang Ning and Allen were like having the backbone, they simply let go of the acting, and they had the heroism when the final emotional outburst came!
Shen Teng's popularity is the highest among several actors, and as soon as he came out, he drove a wave of highs, and in this way, among the people Zhou Xing knows, only his master Guo Mingshun can play this role.
Of course, there is another meaning to ask Master to go out of the mountain.
Because Zhou Xing only learned in the past two days that among the players who entered the semi-finals, several of them were either second-generation stars or apprentices of stars, and all of them moved the people above them this time.
Not only them, but even when Pan Zhiqiang performs, Lin Xiantang will also come on the field to help.
Why, if you have a backstage, I can't have a backstage?
My master is still a second-tier star, which of you masters and elders is as famous as my master? Lin Xiantang, the only one who is a first-line star and surpasses my master, has to respectfully call my master uncle!
Not only these, but for the means he will know now, Zhou Xing is also ready to add a high-profile link at the end of the sketch, and he doesn't believe that the audience is not excited!
November 1st.
Early in the morning, Zhou Xing and a group of them came to Beijing Satellite TV.
Seeing that Guo Mingshun was also coming, there were people who greeted him along the way.
As a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala for many years, as long as you watch TV, there are few people in the country who don't know him.
If purely according to fame, Guo Mingshun is bigger than many first-line stars, but he is only a second-tier star in star rating.
It's just that the star rating is not simply based on the popularity of the calculation of popularity, but also includes quantifiable data such as its own value and development potential.
As a result, there are occasional people on the road who want to take pictures with Guo Mingshun, and some ask him to sign autographs, and they are very busy.
Because the time for reviewing the show was approaching, Zhou Xing and the others went over to sign in first, leaving Guo Mingshun to come over after a while.
When he arrived at the door of the studio, Zhou Xing met the tall Deng Weikui and his partner Wu Xian again.
Standing beside them was a fat man who looked a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, Zhou Xing remembered that the other party often played roles in Northeast local TV dramas, called Deng Zhifa!
At this moment, Zhou Xing realized that the second generation of stars who brought their elders over before turned out to have Deng Weikui!
When Deng Weikui saw Zhou Xing, his eyes immediately narrowed, and he swept a few people around him, and said with some sarcasm:
"What's the use of bringing so many people, I'm just one more person on my side than in the preliminary round!"
That tone, that speech, for fear that others would not know about his father's show.
Zhou Xing shrugged his shoulders speechlessly: "Who do I bring, how many people do I bring...... It's your business!"
After speaking, Zhou Xing walked over to sign in and register, so angry that Deng Weikui rolled his eyes in the back! )
