Of course, Shen Qiushan has studied the current trend of online dramas, and on major video websites, the mainstream online dramas are urban light comedies, campus idol dramas, and sitcoms, in general, they are light-hearted and humorous dramas.

This market demand is very much in line with the characteristics of online platforms, after all, most people go online just to pass the time and relieve stress.

However, this does not mean that there is no market for other types of online dramas, it's just that there are no high-quality dramas, which is also related to the attitude of most producers towards online dramas, in the eyes of most producers, online dramas are not mainstream after all, so the investment is not large, and most online dramas are still in the stage of shoddy production, and it is naturally very difficult to produce high-quality dramas.

"I don't think the most important thing is the unpopularity or popularity of the subject matter, the important thing is the quality of the work. Shen Qiushan held the dinner plate, refuted Mi Xue, and smiled at the eldest sister who was cooking at the window: "Cauliflower, fungus, shredded potatoes, no meat." ”

"I ate in the cafeteria, I didn't even order meat, and I didn't know that I thought that our spinach video was so abusive to our partners. Michelle on the side joked with a smile.

"Hangover, a little dizzy, it's better to eat lighter. Shen Qiushan pointed to his head.

"Well, then I'll be a vegetarian too, lose weight. ”

Michelle also handed over the plate, and after finishing the meal, the three of them found a table in the corner and sat down.

"Let's continue with the topic just now, no matter what the subject matter, the quality of the work is the first place, that's no problem, but, if it's a work of the same quality, one is placed in the popular category, and the other is placed in the unpopular category, undoubtedly, the work in the popular category is more popular. Michelle said.

"Not necessarily, since it is a popular category, then, the audience's requirements for the quality of the work will be higher, and the unpopular classification is not, the original seven-point work, due to the scarcity of the type of work, the audience may buy it more, as the so-called rare is expensive. Shen Qiushan expounded his opinion.

"There is some truth in what you say, however, under the current online drama market situation, it is indeed difficult for a criminal investigation-themed work to sell well, last month, Leku had a criminal investigation drama over there, but the original twenty episodes of the work, half of the broadcast was hurriedly launched in one go, and the serialization ended early, which can be said to be very thorough. Michelle gave examples.

Shen Qiushan nodded: "I know the drama you said, it's called "Evidence of Crime", I have carefully studied its relevant data, in fact, the data and attention of "Evidence of Crime" were very good at the beginning of the broadcast, which shows that there is still a market for this genre, and what caused "Evidence of Crime" to hit the street was its thin plot and the exaggerated acting skills of the actors, to put it bluntly, the quality was too poor, which was the fundamental reason for hitting the street, not the theme. ”

After "Old Boy" became popular, Shen Qiushan was studying the current trend of online dramas while writing the script, especially after he decided on a new work, and carefully studied the criminal investigation online dramas recently launched by major video websites, and he found that these dramas were not too much attention when they first started broadcasting, but they fluttered when they were broadcast, which shows that it is still a quality problem and there is no way to retain the audience.

"It seems that Shen is always prepared. Mi Xue looked at Shen Qiushan with some consternation, the famous "street director" seemed to be enlightened after filming "Old Boy"?

"The main thing is that you can't afford to lose. Shen Qiushan shrugged.

Michelle smiled: "Since you can't afford to lose, why don't you shoot a safe theme, such as the second part of "Old Boy", with the popularity of "Old Boy", I believe that as long as the name of "Old Boy 2" is guaranteed, there will be fifteen million." ”

"It seems that Mr. Mi wants to broadcast "Old Boy 2". Shen Qiushan smiled and shook his head, if you think about it from the perspective of money, it is of course a good choice to shoot the sequel to "Old Boy" or a big movie, Chang Yutian also mentioned this matter just now, but this is not what Shen Qiushan wants to do.

"If there is, of course I would like to broadcast it. Michelle smiled.

"Unfortunately, I don't have that plan for the time being. Shen Qiushan took a bite of the dish and continued: "Anyway, I have promised Mr. Mi on the phone, spinach has the priority to sign my new work, and when the work comes out, if Mr. Mi is interested, he can give priority to signing it, if he is not interested, then I will contact other broadcast platforms." ”

"Well, I'm looking forward to Mr. Shen's new work. Mi Xue nodded: "By the way, I just asked about finance, and it is no problem to advance a part of the box office account of "Old Boy" to Mr. Shen, but at most I can only advance 17 million first." ”

"Enough. ”

Shen Qiushan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, this number was beyond his expectations, after all, spinach has no obligation to do this, normally, the box office share of a micro-film will be settled after a month.

After eating, the two sides signed a box office settlement contract, and then the spinach side transferred the advance money to Shen Qiushan's account.

After leaving Spinach Video, Shen Qiushan immediately called Wang Yuehua and asked her to contact the bank to settle the loan when Yishan Film and Television filmed "Martial Saint".

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

The bank loan was settled, which also means that the debts of Yishan Film and Television have all been settled.

Back at the company, Zhao Yi was directing two employees to clean up his office.

"Brother Shan, things are going well, the bank's loan has been settled?" As soon as he saw Shen Qiushan, Zhao Yi immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Well, it's settled. Shen Qiushan nodded.

"It's a good thing, now our Yishan Film and Television can be regarded as debt-free and light. Zhao Yi laughed: "I watched the news just now, the box office of "Old Boy" has reached 34 million, it seems that we can break the box office record of micro-movies tonight, and we can also make a lot of money in Yishan Film and Television. ”

Shen Qiushan snorted coldly, didn't answer, but silently took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff: "Lao Zhao, there is something, I have to tell you." ”

"Well, what's the matter? so serious. Zhao Yi frowned, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart.

"Yishan Film and Television, I'm not going to do it. Shen Qiushan said in a flat tone.

"What?!" Zhao Yi was startled, and his face suddenly sank: "Brother Shan, what do you mean by this?"

"What I said didn't understand enough?" Shen Qiushan spit out a cloud of smoke, squinted, stared at Zhao Yi, and said word by word: "Yishan Film and Television, I won't do it!"

"Don't do it???We finally paid off the debts and pulled the company back from the brink of bankruptcy, but you said you wouldn't do it?!!" Zhao Yi's face was cold, a little hysterical.

Shen Qiushan's face remained unchanged, and he nodded indifferently: "Yes, if you don't do it, I'll quit!"
