"Oh?"

Li Zhifan smiled bitterly and said seemingly casually, "Director Wu, as long as your broadcast department doesn't edit the TV series randomly, I'm so happy, you see that "Latent" has been cut in pieces, and the audience has no other requirements, so they hope that an episode can be watched for 50 minutes, but you cut out an episode of 35 or 6 minutes, which is too different from the audience's expectations!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Wu Yibo said again and again, "We have been studying and improving this internally, and now you watch "Latent", we have recovered to two episodes a day, each episode is fifty minutes long, and the original characteristics of the film remain unchanged, because the audience loves to watch it, and the duration is many miles longer than one episode of CCTV!"

"Hehe, too!"

Li Zhifan smiled, no longer talking about this issue, from the perspective of the interests of the TV station, in many aspects, it is impossible for them to really compromise with netizens and the audience, and as the party that has the right to speak and the initiative, how Mango TV broadcasts and how the audience sees it is already deep-rooted, and it is very changeable in the short term.

If there is a day, it must be that the audience's concept has changed and the market pattern has changed.

"Director Wu, why don't you buy ready-made TV series?"

Li Zhifan also said, "How many TV dramas do you have to start filming every month and every week in China, and how many TV dramas have been filmed but can't be sold? I think Director Wu, you know better than I do!"

"It's all about quality!"

Wu Yibo emphasized, "The quality of this thing has a lot to do with the first-line directors, first-line actors, and first-line scripts, and the dramas that can do these three points can't be bought at all now, and other satellite TV stations are also grabbing, and many of these dramas have been set before filming, and those producers with deep capital are even more expensive, such as Hu Xiaolong's new film, which has just started filming, and it is said that the price of an episode has doubled compared to the original filming before the filming, the key is that there are still many satellite TV stations grabbing it, and they want to broadcast it in the third or fourth quarter!" ”

"Hu Xiaolong ......"

Li Zhifan's eyes narrowed, not to mention that he didn't go to his heart, after Wu Yibo's reminder, he suddenly burst into a wave of enthusiasm, which was a very primitive sense of impulse, which he hadn't felt for a long time.

Could it be because of Hu Xiaolong's status in the TV circle?

"Taichang Wu!"

Li Zhifan changed his tone and asked kindly, "Can I inquire, how many episodes of Bruce Hu's drama are there now?"

"This ......"

Wu Yibo smiled bitterly, "When we contacted five days ago, it had already reached 10 million episodes, and it is said that this is still rising every day, but we have given up here, not because of money, but because although their drama is luxurious, it is not worth the current price at all, let's just say that Wu Kele's salary alone is more than 100 million, hehe, with all due respect, whoever pays is stupid!"

"I didn't expect that Director Wu is also a person who values quality and quality!"

Li Zhifan nodded, "Okay, I'll take it!" But I have to think about what to shoot, give me a week, as for the money...... I don't want to be lower than Hu Xiaolong, but I can guarantee that the quality is several times higher than theirs!"

"This ......"

Wu Yibo thought about it and finally accepted it.

is dead, and Hu Xiaolong's drama will rise to a maximum of 15 million per episode, and it is impossible to go higher.

If Li Zhifan can really guarantee that the quality is several times higher than Hu Xiaolong's drama, then he can still accept this as the base price.

What's more, Mango TV bought not only the TV station, but also the network copyright of Mango TV, and you can also ask for a direct buyout in terms of advertising shares, counting up, Mango TV has a thousand ways to make money, and it is not a loss.

Now that he has taken over this task, Li Zhifan began to prepare.

However, his first preparation was not to think about what drama he would make, but to see what kind of work his opponent Hu Xiaolong's "Legend of a Fallen City" was filming.

It is not difficult to find out some news in the circle, and there is such a thing as commercial espionage, and it is not a problem to get the script of "Legend of a Fallen City".

On the second day of preparation, Li Zhifan began to read the script of "Alluring the Country and the City" behind closed doors at home, reading roughly in some places and in detail in others.

If you want to defeat your opponent, you have to know yourself and your opponent, the script is only a small part, in addition to the actors of this show, you must also do in-depth research and analyze their strengths and weaknesses.

Three days later, Li Zhifan read all the information.

And he just began to prepare for the scene he was going to film.

Open the backpack and take a look at the scripts accumulated by grabbing red envelopes in previous years.

"That's you!"

After some searching, Li Zhifan directly selected one of them, and then immediately began to devote himself to the creation of the story outline and the creation of the script.

……

A week ended quickly, and according to the agreement, Mango Terrace was in a hurry, and this week seemed to have passed a year.

Finally waited for this day, early in the morning, Wu Yibo personally called Li Zhifan.

"Hey, Xiao Li, hehe! It's me, have you decided what type of drama to shoot?"

"It's set!"

Li Zhifan said, "I have already written three episodes of the script in front of me, give me another week, and filming will start next week!"

"Next ......"

Wu Yibo almost bit his tongue, "Are you sure next week......?" How many episodes are you going to shoot in total?"

To his ears, Li Zhifan came up with a script for three episodes this week, and the speed is simply crazy, but if it starts broadcasting so quickly, is it a short TV series that will be filmed in more than a dozen or twenty episodes?

"Probably, there are more than fifty episodes!"

Li Zhifan said, "Director Wu, this drama, I have lengthened the length, let's talk about it first, how do I shoot how you broadcast, don't cut it for me again!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

Wu Yibo heard that there were more than 50 episodes, and he was overjoyed at the moment, although this means that the station has more money to pay, but the harvest of advertising fees has also increased!

But he reacted quickly......

What? More than 50 episodes, filming will start in a week?

Don't......

"Xiao Li, you don't plan to write the script and shoot at the same time, right?"

If this is the case, the only thing that meets the requirements is the sitcom, which has one or two episodes and a story, which does not affect the coherence of the big plot, and can also play a role in promoting.

"Yes!"

Li Zhifan said, "I plan to cast first next week, and then go to the field to shoot, and at the same time, the main scene will start to be built immediately, of course, I will arrange these, you just need to pay for it!"

"Uh, ahem! Okay, okay!"

Wu Yibo is full of suspicions, and it is definitely impossible to pay money casually.

If you haven't seen the finished film, even if you have a script, how can you determine the price with just a few pieces of paper and a cast list?

"Xiao Li, why don't we have a meeting!"

Wu Yibo said, "If you're busy, let's go to the capital, okay!"

"It's okay!" Li Zhifan didn't refuse, he thought of the questions that Wu Yibo might be worried about, but he didn't think about it so seriously, because he had more important things.

The next day, the people from Mango Terrace arrived.

It was still Wu Yibo who personally led the team, but this time, in addition to taking Yang Lu, Ye Qiuxin also followed.

"Xiao Li, how many episodes have the script been written?"

As soon as Wu Yibo sat down, he said casually with a smile.

In his opinion, Li Zhifan shouldn't be able to write much, after all, it's only been a day.

"It's been five episodes!"

Li Zhifan directly took out the script and story text, and said, "I plan to shoot ten episodes first, don't worry, we will invest in this part of the timeline ourselves, and then negotiate the price after these ten episodes are filmed!

Li Zhifan's words blocked the question that Wu Yibo wanted to ask the most.

And the method proposed by Li Zhifan is undoubtedly the best.

If the shooting is not good, the money is not given anyway, and the first ten episodes are still paid out of pocket by the timeline, no loss!

"Then if you have any questions that need our assistance in the early stage, you can just say!"

Wu Yibo smiled, "As long as we can do it, it's absolutely fine." ”

"Of course, it's a matter of filming licenses!"

Li Zhifan said, "There is also the selection of scenes, I have already selected the shooting location, except for the part that needs to be built, many scenes are ready-made, but it is a problem to be able to use them quickly, and you need to come forward in this regard." ”

"Okay, no problem, we'll do our best to talk!"

Wu Yibo picked up the A4 paper on the table and glanced at the scene selected by Li Zhifan.

"Hengdian Film and Television City Qinwang Palace Scenic Area, all rented?"

Seeing the first one, Wu Yibo was stunned, "At this time, I'm afraid it's ...... to rent it all."

Li Zhifan said directly: "Director Wu, don't forget what you just said!"

"Yes!

Wu Yibo sneered, and then looked at the second one: "Wenzhou Yandang Mountain Scenic Area? This should not be difficult, Zhejiang West Grassland? Well, this can also be contacted immediately!"

After reading these location selection requirements, let's look at the construction below.

"What? It's going to take a week to build it all?"

Wu Yibo was stunned again, but quickly recovered, nodded and said, "It should be no problem, as long as you are willing to spend money, these scenes are easy to get." ”

"Well!" Li Zhifan continued, "The rest is nothing, many scenes can be completed in front of the green screen, relying on post-production, in addition to leaving me to write the script next week, it is to set the role, this project is very large, I need manpower, and I hope the station can help." ”

"No problem!"

Wu Yibo agreed and said, "Let's take a look at the script first!"

There was only one set of scripts, and the three of them put their heads together and began to read them.

The first thing that catches your eye is the name of this drama - "Langya Bang"!

Then on the first page, there is a synopsis of the story:

Mei Changsu was far away in the rivers and lakes, but he was famous.

It is rumored in the rivers and lakes: "Jiang Zuo Meilang, the talent of the unicorn, can win the world." ”

As the leader of the world's largest gang "Jiangzuo League", Mei Changsu is famous as "Mei Lang".

However, Mei Changsu, who has the supreme status of the rivers and lakes, is a sick and weak young man, who is burdened with a huge unjust case and a sea of blood feud more than ten years ago, and even there are huge secrets hidden behind his life experience.

It turned out that twelve years ago, during the Southern Liang Datong period, the Northern Wei Dynasty Xing troops went south, and Lin Shu, the young marshal of the Red Flame Army, went out with his father and led 70,000 soldiers to fight against the enemy.

Lin Shu recovered his remnant life from the gate of hell, experienced the pain of losing his loved ones, cutting his bones and changing his face, and became Mei Changsu, the leader of the Jiangzuo League, the number one gang in the world.

Twelve years later, Mei Changsu took the opportunity of recuperating from illness and returned to the imperial capital with a white-clothed body, and since then he has embarked on the road of revenge, revenge and succession. In the face of the Nihuang County Lord, who had a marriage contract, his old best friend King Jing Xiao Jingyan and all the familiar ones in the past, he could only silently endure everything, and seemingly inadvertently, with his sick and weak body, he set off a wave of blood shadow with one hand, assisted King Jing of Ming to ascend the throne, and washed away the stigma of 70,000 Red Flame loyal souls.

However, due to the chaotic governance of Emperor Wu of Liang in his later years, chaos broke out in the territory of the Southern Dynasties, and the Eastern Wei, which had been established on behalf of the Northern Wei Dynasty, took the opportunity to raise troops to the south, and no one in the court was able to lead the troops for a while.

In order to solve the national crisis, Mei Changsu resolutely set out in armor despite his physical illness and weakness, and in only three months, he led the Liang army to pacify the northern border in one fell swoop, and returned the Liang to peace and stability. At this time, Mei Changsu also exhausted his last bit of hard work and finished his life on the battlefield.

……

The synopsis of the story is actually equivalent to a short story, and in the actual writing of the script, there may be slight discrepancies with the synopsis of the story, so Wu Yibo and the three of them were not particularly surprised after reading the synopsis of the story, and they also had the first image and approximate of the play.

"Costume drama!"

Wu Yibo said, "If this theme is filmed well, it will be very popular in the market, especially those female fans, haha, our Mango Channel will broadcast about five costume dramas every year, just to attract these female audiences." ”

"Hmm!"

Li Zhifan smiled and said nothing, this "Langya Bang" is strictly speaking, it is a man's play.

Although female characters also account for a large proportion in the play, they are not from the first perspective of women, so they are completely different from most of the costume palace fighting dramas on the market now.

This can be said to be a man's palace fighting drama.
