Chapter 469: Digging People
For Lin Chen, digging Ai Qingbin's feet is far more important than fighting with "The Breeze Blows".
A Park Gujun Lin Chen is naturally not at ease, and as for the post-production of "Full House of Romance", Lin Chen also made a detailed process.
The editing was handed over to Ah Hua, and it is natural that Ah Hua is naturally powerful to be nominated for the Golden Bear Award.
The propaganda was naturally handed over to Huang Xiaoqiang, and Huang Xiaoqiang's propaganda ability is beyond doubt.
As for the music, Lin Chen naturally has to handle it himself, and Lin Chen is ready to let Li Xiaonan sing the song "Destiny".
The most important thing is, of course, the premiere right, although the popularity of "Full House of Romance" has risen, but the current attention is naturally not comparable to "Yitian", everything has to wait for the release to prove the charm of this idol drama.
Lin Chen didn't expect this drama to be able to shoot the high price of "Yitian".
Tiaozi said: "Lao Lin, now Mango Satellite TV has announced that it has withdrawn from the competition for "Full House of Romance", and the most interested ones are still Yanjing Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV.
Their various buying directors are talking to me, hoping to get the premiere rights of the show.
"Where's the offer?"
Lin Chen asked, "Which of these two satellite TVs has a higher offer?"
Tiaozi said: "At present, it has come out to five million. “
In terms of editing, Lin Chen explained to Ah Hua that he was going to prepare scissors for the first issue of "Full House of Romance" into 16 episodes according to the standards of another time and space. However, this drama is naturally longer than the average single episode.
According to the quotation of five million per episode, the sixteen-episode TV series of this drama is equivalent to paying off. This is estimated to be the plot with the lowest return on premiere rights in recent years.
Tiaozi suggested: "Lao Lin, if you want this "Full House of Romance", we will also have a bargaining meeting like "Yitian", and the one with the highest price will win." “
Huang Xiaoqiang said: "Without the competition of Mango Satellite TV, it is estimated that it will be difficult to negotiate the premiere rights." “
Indeed, if it weren't for the competition of Mango Satellite TV, this "Yitian" would not have been able to sell a single episode at a sky-high price of more than 9 million.
Lin Chen also felt that there was no point in bargaining again, and now that Yanjing Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV were bidding similarly, Lin Chen was ready to choose it directly.
Although Yanjing Satellite TV and Zhejiang Satellite TV have cooperated with Lin Chen, compared with Zhejiang Satellite TV, Lin Chen and Yanjing are more chatty.
For the drama "Full House of Romance", the TV drama industry also believes that it is difficult to replicate the myth of the "Condor Shooting" trilogy, and the industry feels that its ratings should be between 3 and 4.
In the end, Yanjing Satellite TV won the premiere rights of "Full House of Romance" for 5.1 million after weighing and discussing.
Lin Chen was also discussing with Zhang Hao about digging Ai Qingbin's friendship.
In fact, as Zhang Hao expected, Dajiang Entertainment also gradually snubbed Ai Qingbin in the filming of TV dramas.
For any entertainment company, the ratings of three TV series with an investment of more than 100 million yuan in a row are mediocre, and there is no return for the company, and no one can bear it.
Ai Qingbin did not get a lifetime contract from Dajiang Entertainment, and Ai Qingbin's contract will officially expire at the end of April today, with Ai Qingbin's contribution to Dajiang Entertainment, Dajiang Entertainment naturally does not mind giving Ai Qingbin a pension contract, in fact, relying on his previous popularity, Ai Qingbin sells and sells characters, attends some activities, and even takes on some commercial performances, so pension is naturally not a problem.
The most important thing is Ai Qingbin's attitude, if Ai Qingbin decides to leave, Dajiang Entertainment will naturally release him.
As for whether Ai Qingbin can join Chopsticks Brothers Media, Lin Chen knows that this naturally cannot be settled by money. Ai Qingbin, who has been a director all his life, has no problem with his retirement, the key is to make Ai Qingbin excited.
This is like a blind date, you have to first have a point to attract the other party, for Ai Qingbin, what can attract Ai Qingbin is a good script, a script that can make his heart move.
Before inviting Ai Qingbin to dinner, Lin Chen decided to restore some of the scripts of "Mansion Gate" first.
Yanjing's time-honored roast duck restaurant, Lin Chen met Ai Qingbin here.
In addition to understanding Ai Qingbin's works, Lin Chen also asked Zhang Hao to check Ai Qingbin's details, it turned out that Ai Qingbin was an authentic Yanjing person, and he especially liked the unique culture of Yanjing.
This time-honored roast duck restaurant is a unique banner with a Beijing flavor, so Lin Chen asked Ai Qingbin to meet here.
For Ai Qingbin, he simply thought that Lin Chen was asking himself to reminisce about the past.
Soon Ai Qingbin arrived as promised.
After greeting each other, Lin Chen said, "Ai Dao, what are your plans for the future?"
Since "Tang Xuanzong" hit the street, Ai Qingbin has also roughly figured out that it is better to retreat freely than this, he has the fame and fortune he wants, what is he fighting for with young people?
Ai Qingbin laughed at himself: "I can't compete with you young people, I really want to take a good rest." ”
Lin Chen persuaded: "Director Ai, you are only in your fifties, this age is the golden age of the director industry, it is a pity to retire like this!"
Lin Chen's words are about Ai Qingbin's sadness, if there is a good script that can attract investment, Ai Qingbin is naturally reluctant to quit like this, but now that the successive works are hitting the street, the company will naturally not lean towards Ai Qingbin anymore in terms of resources.
Seeing that Ai Qingbin didn't speak, Lin Chen took out a small part of the work of "The Gate of the Mansion".
"Director Ai, you can help me read this script. ”
Saying that, Lin Chen handed the script to Ai Qingbin.
Although Ai Qingbin has relatively little personal work in the script, as a well-known director, Ai Qingbin can naturally distinguish the quality of a script.
"Mansion Gate!"
Just looking at the name of the script, Ai Qingbin was stunned.
Then Ai Qingbin looked at it.
In the spring of the sixth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, in the gate of the mansion of the Baicao Hall, the most famous pharmacy in the city, Bai Wenshi, the second young grandmother, gave birth to a boy.
The strange thing is that this child will not cry when he is born, and the more he fights, the more he laughs, and his grandfather Bai Mengtang named him Bai Jingqi.
His father, Bai Yingxuan, offended King Zhan's Mansion because of his illness for Da Gege, the carriage he was riding in was smashed, the horses were killed, and the two families had a grudge.
Bai Mengtang's youngest daughter Bai Yaping was frightened and fell to death of her son who was less than one year old, and her aunt Guan Shaoyi took her back to her parents' house, and the Bai family has been grudges ever since.
Five years later, the uncle of the Bai family and the imperial doctor Bai Yingyuan accidentally killed the second daughter of Zhan Wangye, the concubine of Emperor Tongzhi of the first dynasty, Zhan Wangye fell into the well, Baicao Hall was seized, Bai Yingyuan was asked to be a capital crime, fortunately met the head of Xingbu Prison Yan Ye and Zhu Shun rescued, replaced by a Han surname death row prisoner, Bai Yingyuan went away to the end of the world.
Bai Mengtang died of illness, and when he was dying, he handed over the family power to his second daughter-in-law, Bai Wenshi, and Bai Yingyuan's wife, Bai Yinshi, heard that her husband was executed and hanged herself. In the blink of an eye, Chang Jingqi grew to the age of seven and reached the age of going to school......
Although it's just a rough script, Ai Qingbin can't stop watching it.
In addition to being fascinated by the grievances in the play, Ai Qingbin also has a deep understanding of the family stories inside.
Ai Qingbin is also considered to be born in the mansion, and his ancestors are also big families in the capital, mainly dealing in tea, when he was a child, Ai Qingbin also heard his parents talk about the past of the mansion.
The more complex history of modern times has also made the Ai family decline from prosperity, so Ai Qingbin has a deep understanding and sensitivity to this kind of theme.
Although this script is only a beginning, Ai Qingbin can also think of a series of changes that this mansion will undergo with the changes in social history.
After closing the script, Ai Qingbin asked, "Lin Chen, did you write this script?"
Lin Chen knew Ai Qingbin's doubts, at Lin Chen's age, he had not experienced that complex historical environment, and he had nothing to do with the mansion gate, how could he write such a script? Such a script could naturally be written not only with a brain.
Looking at Ai Qingbin's doubts, Lin Chen said: "Director Ai, the script was indeed written by me, I am more interested in modern history, and there are relatively few film and television dramas in modern history, so I wrote this script by checking the information and some historical facts." ”
Listening to Lin Chen's words, Ai Qingbin said: "I'm quite interested in this script, if you finish this script, can you let me read it?"
Seeing that the script successfully attracted Ai Qingbin's attention, Lin Chen knew that digging Ai Qingbin was definitely interesting.
"Director Ai, don't worry, in addition to the script, I will also write one, and when it is finished, I will be the first to show you. ”
As he spoke, Lin Chen glanced at Ai Qingbin, and then asked, "Director Ai, I heard that your contract with Dajiang Entertainment is about to expire, what are your plans?"
"Retreat!"
Ai Qingbin said: "The Lifetime Achievement Award has been given to me, it must be an affirmation of my achievements, since this is the case, I will retire!"
Lin Chen stopped Ai Qingbin and said: "Director Ai, I definitely want to shoot this script, if you don't mind, you join Chopsticks Brothers Media to help me! Or this TV series, let's direct it together." ”
Lin Chen directly said what he thought in his heart, although he was interested in the script, but Ai Qingbin had never thought about changing jobs.
Lin Chen naturally knew that he was not so comfortable wanting to dig Ai Qingbin, and Lin Chen was not in a hurry at this time.
After going back, Lin Chen began to restore the book and script of "Mansion Gate" with the help of the Almighty Star System.
At the same time, "Full House" officially confirmed the broadcast time.
This TV series will officially land on Yanjing Satellite TV on May 1.
When Yanjing Satellite TV announced the finalization, Mango Satellite TV also officially announced that "Breeze Blowing 2" will be released on the 29th.
The meaning of "The Breeze Blowing 2" for "Full House of Romance" is not obvious, and the industry and the people are also thinking about who will lose and who will win in the showdown of this idol drama.
Although "Full House of Romance" was not directed by Lin Chen himself, it was Lin Chen himself who came to fight Park Gujun, so in terms of ratings, everyone also began to discuss.
"I think Park Gujun is better at idol dramas, not to mention that this time it was not directed by Lin Chen. ”
"After all, the TV series "A Chinese Ghost Story" lost to "The Breeze Blows", so I think this "Full House of Romance" should also be inferior to "The Breeze Blows". ”
"The TV series "A Chinese Ghost Story" has nothing to do with Lin Chen, I think that since Lin Chen should fight, he will definitely be able to pick Park Gujun off the horse. ”
""The Breeze Blows" is just like that, I look forward to Lin Chen's own works. ”
……
At the same time as the heated discussion on the Internet, on April 29th, "Breeze Blowing" officially landed on Mango Satellite TV, before landing, the artist lineup of "Breeze Blowing 2" began to appear frequently on Mango Satellite TV, and the publicity of "Breeze Blowing" can be said to have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Mango Satellite TV made its official debut.
On the basis of 1, the lineup of "Breeze Blowing 2" has been greatly improved, and many new Korean idols have joined in, which can be described as a gathering of big names, and the industry has already predicted that the ratings of this drama will exceed 1 depending on fan traffic, which has made many people lower their predictions for "Full House of Romance".
Liu Min is an office worker who is obsessed with idol dramas, and today is the premiere day of "The Breeze Blows 2", Liu Min is originally a fan of "The Breeze Blows", so he is looking forward to 2 even more.
To this end, Liu Min also built a group of "The Breeze Blows" to explore the plot of 2.
At eight o'clock in the evening, with the beginning of the plot, Liu Min was a little excited, and the group of "The Breeze Blows" also began to discuss.
"Park Jung-ki is on the scene, he's so handsome. ”
"Haha, my goddess Han Yunjiao has also joined, and she is still so beautiful. ”
"There are so many big names that my little heart flutters a little when I see it. ”
……
Idol traffic is indeed irresistibly attractive to some fans in China, and "The Breeze Blows" can be said to have achieved the ultimate in this regard.
Although he worships idols, Liu Min does not claim to be a brainless fan, compared with idols, Liu Min cares more about the plot of the TV series, Liu Min is looking forward to "The Breeze Blowing 2" to have some new ideas in the plot.
After watching the whole two episodes, Liu Min felt a little confused, the plot of the entire first two episodes, except for some idols playing cool, Liu Min really couldn't remember any plot, and Liu Min was also very speechless when he could drag the plot of the two episodes on playing cool.
Although the plot of the first day of "The Breeze Blows" was a little dragged, the first look of this drama still reached 5.
broadcast on both sides one after another, the ratings of "The Breeze Blows 2" broke 4. This naturally continues the strength of "The Breeze Blows" in terms of ratings.
As for word-of-mouth, "The Breeze Blows" presents a two-level model.
On the one hand, they think that the plot is dragging on and is more brain-dead, and on the other hand, they think that this drama is unprecedented.
Liu Min, who is "The Breeze Blows", is a little disappointed, and "The Breeze Blows 2" has no new ideas at all in the plot, and even continues the routine of 1.
Compared with the plot of the first car accident, the second part directly became incurable, the male protagonist was not feeling well, and as a result, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness of one in a million, and Liu Min of the later plot can also think of it, it must be this terminal illness that accompanies the whole drama, and then how the female protagonist encourages the male protagonist, how the male protagonist bravely fights against the disease, and finally the male protagonist still hangs up.
Liu Min felt inexplicably tired, and after watching too much of this routine, Liu Min couldn't stand it.
On May 1st, "Full House of Romance" was also officially launched, although Korean dramas are slotted, but domestic idol dramas are basically based on the Korean routine, Liu Min naturally does not have much hope for this kind of plot.
But thinking of the overly routine plot of "The Breeze Blows", Liu Min still transferred the station to Yanjing Satellite TV.
