189 "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" project

Luo Yu has been doing really well these days, teaching is trivial, many students especially worship him, he is almost not absent from class and is very serious. What's wrong with this, the only bad thing is that there are too many student problems, and there are female students who discharge themselves, and Luo Yu is also drunk.

Luo Yu found that he was now like a real teacher, teaching every day and then assigning some homework. Seriously brag in the open class and introduce some of your own experiences to the students. This is the life of a teacher, and he felt like a pseudo-teacher when he was busy before.

"Zhu Xian" has been written, and all the text has been released in the Singularity backstage, just wait for it to end normally. He didn't plan to write this one anymore after he finished writing it, to be honest, it was very tiring and the pay was low. If you have this time to write, you will simply shoot a movie, and you will be guaranteed to earn dozens of times more than you write.

No matter how bad it is to make a micro-movie, you can make some money casually. I used to write for money, to pave the way for my own films, but now I don't need to. A person's energy is limited, he cannot do everything, and he cannot be proficient in everything. Some people say that people only need to do one thing well in their life.

Luo Yu is not greedy, he can do the two things of teaching and making movies well. Of course, it is necessary to adjust it occasionally, and singing must also be grasped, so that life is meaningful.

Having a lot of time to splurge on lately, he decided to go with the flow and not want to make his life so hard. In the past, there were two works a year, and it was completely desperate to get out, but now there is no need to work so hard. Slow work and meticulous work, good carving and polishing of the work is what you should do.

He has already thought that the next work to shoot is "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and he will shoot the first section first. If the market responds well, then continue to shoot the movie, and as for the later plot, you can leave it to others to shoot. When the time comes, I will take care of it myself, release a TV series and a movie a year, and make the most of it.

The first part, of course, is to write the script first, and then start to arrange the script. The biggest investment in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" should not be the actors, but the props, I should get the script done as soon as possible and then set up the project, and then start making props non-stop. Props are the key to the success of the script, and there can be no sloppiness, let alone cutting corners!

For the script, Luo Yu deliberately read the first section of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and after thinking about it for two days, he felt that the script should be set at twenty episodes, each episode of forty minutes. Of course, the playback platform is the first choice for LETV,When the time comes, one or five cents an episode,It should be able to make a lot of money。

In this world, although Luo Yu has set off a reform in the video industry, he does not dare to let all movies and TV series be watched by members for free. If he does this, he has absolutely no friends, he just lets members free ads some old movies and TV series for free, as a way to provide the popularity of the site. As for some popular TV series and movies, of course, there is a fee, and the website cooperates with others or buys out or shares.

Writing a script is also not an easy task, and responsible screenwriters generally revise it three times, which is the so-called first draft, second draft, and third draft. Luo Yu won't draft the east and the west, all the plots are in his mind, and he has a number of how to write it. The scripts of 20 episodes were all written in two weeks, and Luo Yu was tired enough to choke on an average of 8,000 words a day.

Fortunately, everything is done, and the rest is to communicate with LeTV and Brother Pictures. It is best for two companies to cooperate in such a TV series, so that it is a win-win situation, and for Luo Yu, it is to put the money in the left pocket to the right.

……

Yu Dong put down the script after reading it for a while, he was not very professional in this regard. "You mean that we will shoot a TV series in the second half of the year, and I watched such a TV series too short. There are only 20 episodes of 40 minutes each, so you don't want to stream them directly on the Internet, do you?

Luo Yu nodded: "Mr. Yu is wise." This is based on my book Ghost Blowing the Lamp, and this is just one of the verses. I want to combine Brother Pictures and LeTV, Brother Pictures is responsible for filming, and LeTV is responsible for broadcasting. ”

Yu Dong hesitated for a moment, "I have absolutely no problem here, but will it conflict with the company's film plan this year." ”

"No, it's still based on the company's film plan. I don't need a staff here for the time being, and I'll start shooting my TV series after the company movie is finished. If my TV series is set up, we have to spend a lot of time making props. ”

"How much money are you going to spend on filming this TV series"?

Luo Yu thought for a while, "The minimum of 30 million will be added later, half of LeTV and Brother Pictures, of course, there are other companies willing to cooperate, we welcome it, but the investment must not exceed 20%."

Yu Dong waved his hand, "This kind of investment can be done by the two of us, if it is hundreds of millions, it is necessary to cooperate with others, and tens of millions of dollars are not necessary." ”

"The purpose of my coming here today is to trouble Brother Yu to contact a team that makes props, and the most expensive items for this TV series are those props. What big zongzi, ancient tombs, or something need to be made, and you also need to make a desert prop, in short, it's very troublesome. I estimate that this TV series can't be won without 50 million, and this is still when we don't invite A-list stars. Of course, the advantage of this is that if the film and TV series are successful, we can make another movie. ”

"Many props can be used with a modification, and the TV series has been promoted for free, so filming movies is definitely a loss of money. Therefore, in terms of props, it is up to Mr. Yu to contact. ”

Yu Dong nodded, "You can leave this to me, Brother Pictures and LeTV will each invest 25 million, and if it is not enough, it will be added." Send the script to review first and then set up the project, as for the props, I will contact the props team, and the rest is your business. ”

Luo Yu nodded, "Of course, if the TV series is successful, the company will shoot a movie immediately." ”

β€”β€”

Jiang Wen's office, Luo Yu said, "By the way, how is the production of the show?"

"It's almost time to start production, and the script director stage and everything are ready. Is there anything wrong with Mr. Luo's coming today?"

"That's right, I took the lead in letting LeTV and Brother Pictures cooperate to shoot a TV series, which is the online TV series I told you. An investment of 25 million, if not enough, depending on the situation. Doesn't the company have two directors, let one of them come to the crew when the time comes, and then arrange some staff to participate. ”

Jiang Wen said happily, "The boss is going to shoot "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", there is absolutely no problem. It's just a good time for our director to learn some experience, and then we will shoot some works ourselves. ”

"Well, then it's decided that you can discuss the specific things for a while, and then talk to Brother Pictures about how to cooperate. I'm only responsible for the filming of the script, and this TV series needs a lot of props, and I will pay attention to that part in the future. Just let me know when the time comes,This is another opportunity for LeTV,This time we must grasp it。 ”

Luo Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the general direction was basically grasped. The details are handled by the company's people, and the most important thing now is to design the props and make them right away.

It's very cumbersome and tiring, but thinking that people were surprised and could make a lot of money after the TV series came out, Luo Yu was suddenly full of fighting spirit.
