Chapter 301: Liu Laogen

Although Yang Ming had not experienced strong winds and waves in his previous life, and had no experience in running an entertainment company, he had never eaten pork and had never seen a pig run?

Yang Ming has not only seen some of the filthy things that happened between the entertainment giants in his previous life, as well as the means of suppressing small companies, but also heard from industry insiders in detail.

Therefore, Yang Ming now has to make some plans for the future of Oriental DreamWorks, and now Oriental DreamWorks is thriving and developing smoothly, because it has not yet involved the core interests of those entertainment companies.

However, as long as Oriental DreamWorks affects the core interests of those entertainment giants, it will definitely face a storm of blows from the other party.

Now the Oriental DreamWorks is still a small ship with few people, and it can't withstand the wind and waves, as long as Yang Ming is given a certain amount of time to develop, he is confident that he will build an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the entertainment industry.

The star studio is the first measure that Yang Ming is using now.

"Do you already have a script now?" Zhao Laoyan saw Yang Ming's confident appearance, he knew Yang Ming's talent, and his heart couldn't help but move, and he immediately asked a little heartily.

"Well, I already have a rough idea of the script in my mind, but I still need to refine it before I can give it to you. Yang Ming nodded.

In his heart, he has already found a star template for Zhao Laoyan to develop in the future, a sketch king in the Northeast in his previous life, after his sketch career reached its peak, he also moved to the film and television industry, and filmed many TV series with good ratings and word-of-mouth influence.

"You already have a plot outline?" Zhao Laoyan originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect Yang Ming to really have a rough plot, and his heart was tickled by Yang Ming's words.

So, he couldn't help but pull Yang Ming's arm, and couldn't wait to let Yang Ming tell him the general plot.

Seeing this, Yang Ming had to think about it for a while, and then chose a TV series of the sketch king in his previous life, and told Zhao Laoyan about the general plot.

After a respected old branch secretary was taken down by his son, he went to live in the city for a period of time and gained a long experience, returned to his hometown to engage in tourism and catering, used folk art on the street to attract audiences, and realized his long-cherished wish to make the villagers rich at the age of 50.

Liu Laogen in Changbai Mountain in Northeast China with a simple will of "not old and want to do something", returned to his hometown from the provincial capital to use natural tourism resources, and set up a farmer's resort......

How to promote things, how to deal with emotions, and how to grasp the inner balance, it seems that Liu Laogen will never be able to finish the project......

That's right, this is the general plot of "Liu Laogen", Yang Ming roughly talked about the general plot of this TV series, and briefly talked about the significance and shooting points of this drama.

If Zhao Laoyan is not satisfied with this "Liu Laogen", then there is "Ma Dashuai", "Ma Dashuai" is not good, and "Country Love Story", there is always one suitable for Zhao Laoyan.

However, when Yang Ming saw Zhao Laoyan's demeanor, he knew that there was no need for that, and Zhao Laoyan, who was sitting opposite, was fascinated by what he heard at this time.

Although this is just a brief introduction to the content and some shooting points, Zhao Laoyan listened very attentively, and he seemed to feel that this Liu Laogen in Yang Ming's mouth was talking about himself.

An ordinary peasant child who was born and grew up in the countryside, a pure peasant life that can no longer be pure, and at the same time, the various plot conflicts and contradictions in it can also maximize Zhao Laoyan's comedy talent.

The more Zhao Laoyan pondered in his mind, the more he liked this story in his heart, and he couldn't wait for Yang Ming to be able to give him this story in its right place.

But he didn't know that it was impossible.

"I want to peel off your head and see how your head is different from us, and your ability to make up stories is too strong. Zhao Laoyan sighed and said, "You kid won, now I'm your person, when can you give me this script?"

Yang Ming thought about his time recently when he heard this, and said: "Before the Spring Festival, I have been really busy during this time, and I have been working overtime in the past few nights to get out the script of your TV series Brother Zhao first." โ€

"I was able to shoot after that year. After Zhao Laoyan lowered his head and thought about it carefully, he said slowly, now that he has a script, it is a test of his ability to be a director, to be honest, he is still a little apprehensive in his heart.

"Hmm. Yang Ming saw the worried look on Zhao Laoyan's face, and immediately understood what the other party was worried about, thought for a while, and said: "Brother, let's do it, when the time comes, I will let an assistant director of our company assist you, this assistant director is definitely not worse than the average big-name director, and even those so-called big-name directors are not as good as this assistant director of our company." โ€

"When the time comes, you will be the same as me, you will still focus on acting in this TV series, in the process of acting, please refer to the assistant director of our company in practice, with the experience of this TV series, in the future, when you are alone in charge, you can play by yourself. โ€

Yang Ming was going to let Lao Chai help Zhao Laoyan, after all, Lao Chai was not only experienced, but what was even more commendable was that Lao Chai's personality was relatively gentle, so he was going to assist Zhao Laoyan in filming "Liu Laogen".

Zhao Laoyan is the kind of actor with very distinctive personal performance characteristics, so to speak, in the TV series "Liu Laogen", he is the core character of the soul, and the success of his performance directly determines the success of this TV series.

Moreover, every TV series that Yang Ming prepared for Zhao Laoyan in the future is a TV series with Zhao Laoyan as the core of his soul, so a star with distinctive characteristics like him is not an ordinary director who can grasp the inherent characteristics of him, the king of sketches, and shoot a TV series with distinctive personal characteristics.

Only Zhao Laoyan understands himself, and only Zhao Laoyan is the director of his own TV series, can he maximize his ability, thereby driving the success of the TV series.

Zhao Laoyan left with great anticipation, and after Yang Ming sent Zhao Laoyan away, he also drove back to the academy by himself.

Two days ago, Yang Ming had already sent a few of the scripts of "Unexpectedly Little Soldiers' New Year" that he had worked up all night to process, and now they have started filming.

However, because this Chinese New Year drama of "Never Expected" is the background of the Three Kingdoms, it needs to use costumes and exterior locations, and Wang Fa and the others also took a few leading actors to the filming venue to start filming.

Now "Never Expected" is the first drama on the Internet, when the popcorn website revealed that Wang Fa had started filming the New Year chapter of "Never Expected", it immediately attracted countless netizens to chase frantically, and this phenomenon also attracted the side red eyes of other video websites, how did they not expect that a short video short drama, shooting a simple video short drama that cannot be simple, would attract such a great influence.

The highest number of on-demand episodes for a single episode has exceeded 50 million, and the total number of on-demand views has reached an astronomical figure of 300 million.

There is such a terrible number of clicks, this advertising system is naturally rushing, have offered a lot of sky-high prices, during this time, popcorn network in the advertising income, is simply counting the money to hand cramps, so that other video sites that have not been revised, still adhere to the traditional rules, is a red eye.

However, Yang Ming also heard that there are individual video websites, and they are also preparing to plan a website revision and launch it after the year, which will have a certain impact on the traffic of popcorn network.

The biggest feature of popcorn websites now is that they use their free names to attract countless netizens to watch TV series and movies and increase the traffic of the website.

However, now other websites have also launched this free model, which will definitely have a certain impact on the traffic of popcorn, and the impact is certain.

To be honest, when Yang Ming learned the news from Ma Yun, he didn't feel a little nervous in his heart, not why, the reason why he believes so much in the strength of popcorn is that he believes more in his revision and re-planning of popcorn these days, not a video website that can be learned by casually learning for a few days.

Moreover, Yang Ming also predicted this kind of thing of other video websites following the trend and learning, so he also reacted early in advance, that is, to develop his own brand columns and video clips.

"Never Expected" also successfully played the first brand for the popcorn website, stabilizing the crazy increase in popcorn and a little unstable traffic to wรจn, and wait until next year the website continues to deepen the reform, plus when the filming of "Couples" is completed, the traffic of the popcorn website will be more stable.

Yang Ming is now coming to the popcorn website to discuss the cooperation of "Never Expected" advertising placement.

"Never Expected" implants advertisements to advertisers, which is definitely an alternative to the entire entertainment industry, just like the previous life, using self-exposure and a ridiculous way to easily implant advertisements into it.

And also used a reminder to tell the audience, this is product placement, accompanied by the personality language of 'if you don't advertise, you will die', which made the entire netizens laugh.

They never thought that advertising could still do this, and advertisers never thought that this kind of self-exposure of ugliness would have such a good effect.

Not only is the advertising effect good, but it also directly reflects the situation of product sales, which is also very good.

However, to the advertisers' dissatisfaction, the popcorn network is very strict, stipulating that all the rules of advertisers must follow theirs!

This part is not money, let me tell you about the background of "Liu Laogen".

In this TV series, Zhao Benshan himself is both the starring and the director. At the filming site, he was busy by himself, although he felt better from an actor to a "manager", but after filming the TV series, "it was like taking off a layer of skin". The play mainly tells the story of farmer Liu Laogen investing in his hometown to set up a company and develop the tourism industry, with a humorous and witty style, which is still Zhao Benshan's best old drama road. Zhao Benshan emphasized to reporters: "It is said that my works are limited and only adapt to the countryside, in fact, after watching this TV series, everyone can realize that although it is still a rural theme, urban audiences also understand the plight of the protagonist in the play." Zhao Benshan also specially thanked the other two leading actors in the play, Fan Wei and Gao Xiumin: "Thanks to them, they are old partners who have worked together for so many years, how to say, without their help and understanding on the set, my debut film would have been miscarried." โ€
