62: Bargaining
Not only has the major media on the Internet praised it, but "People's Daily" even opened a special feature for the finale of "Star You", and appeared on both the domestic and overseas editions: What does the popularity of "You from the Star" tell us?
The domestic boutique idol drama "You from the Stars", written and directed by Wang Jun and joined by Gao Yuanyuan, ushered in the finale on July 6 last night, how popular is "Star You" at this time? A boss of a company in Xiamen said that in order to stay up late to watch the finale of "You from the Star", the company's human resources department received 213 fake employee notes.
On the other hand, in order to please the employees, a boss celebrated the finale of "Star You" and invited all employees to eat fried chicken and beer, which made his employees grateful and called "China's good boss".
Of course, how popular "Star You" is is not our main topic of discussion, we have to find out the secret from the success of "Star You", so that we can shoot the second, third or even countless "Star You", so that domestic idol dramas can become an existence that competes with Korean dramas, rather than infighting in the domestic house, and will never be able to go abroad!
We have to see that the script of "Star You" is undoubtedly a model for refined work, in addition to the lines, we can find that screenwriter Wang Jun basically adopts the mode of 1 big climax + N small climax + suspense ending in every episode, and the plot is gripping, leaving a lot of suspense at just the right time.
In addition, the show also invited Korean SBS TV to participate in the production, so that "Star You" has a mature routine and production team. In addition, screenwriter Wang Jun's three views are correct, and he has abandoned the traditional plot ideas of some bad streets in idol dramas.
For example, in "Star You", the show does not resent the brain-dead heroine who was born in him and the male protagonist who pounces on the beautiful heroine when he sees it.
At the same time, Wang Jun, who directed for the first time, impressed everyone, Wang Jun did a good job of details, and paid tribute to Steven Spielberg's classic alien movie ET many times.
The setting of the heroine is "queen control", which is also in line with the self-perception of modern women, coupled with Gao Yuanyuan's beauty and prosperity, it is indeed the best choice for 2,000.
In addition, the hero and heroine Wang Jun are handsome and handsome, and they are definitely the best example of oriental male beauty, coupled with good acting skills, rich and handsome with white rich beauty, it is a rare idol drama in the history of idol dramas that matches the male and female protagonists.
At the same time, the picture of the play is beautiful, and Wang Jun uses a lot of filming methods, which shows that Wang Jun's shooting techniques are very skilled, and the post-production team is also very strong.
Of course, people's curiosity about the unknown and the pursuit of beautiful things are also one of the reasons for the instant fire of the stars!
In addition, the crowd following the trend brought about by the herd effect is also an important reason why "Star You" quickly became popular!
Overall, "Star You" has a good direction, good publicity, good selling points, good actors, good directors, and good details, which are the only magic weapons for the success of a work.
........
And Wang Jun ended Smecta's gold-making journey and returned to the imperial capital after the ending of "Star You" and with national praise!
As soon as Wang Jun and Wang Xiaoxue returned to Huayi, Wang Jun was invited to the office of the board of directors of Huayi alone.
As soon as Wang Jun walked into the office, Mr. Wang stood up with laughter and held Wang Jun's right hand with both hands: "Oh, welcome our Asian idol Wang Jun back to China, the sensation you caused during your trip to Smecta has really won glory for me Huayi and my Chinese!"
Wang Jun sneered in his heart, I think it's for you to make money, you took 4 layers of 10 billion won!
Of course, who wouldn't know how to work on the surface, Wang Jun also dealt with the boss hypocritically: "Mr. Wang has won the award, if it weren't for Huayi, how could there be "Star You", and how could there be my current scenery, this is all supported by the company!"
Hearing Wang Jun's words, the king always smiled even more happily.
After greeting everyone, everyone sat down, Wang Jun raised his eyes and looked at himself, in addition to himself, there were only two brothers of the Wang family and several heads of TV departments and public relations departments.
Although this is the first time Wang Jun has participated in a meeting of this level, seeing several bigwigs in the TV department appear, and avoiding Sister Xue, Wang Jun has more or less guessed something in his heart!
After thinking about it for a while, Wang Zhongjun looked at Wang Jun and said: "That Wang Jun, you see that now that "Star You" is finished, do you have any plans for the next drama?"
Wang Jun heard that the main drama was coming, and after taking a sip of tea, he said quietly: "I am preparing a movie, and I hope Wang Dong and the company can support it!"
Hearing that Wang Jun was preparing for a movie, the Wang brothers frowned without a trace, and after Mr. Wang and Mr. Xiao Wang looked at each other, they smiled and said to Wang Jun: "Actually, "Star You" has just ended now, and the summer vacation has just begun, we hope you can make another TV series, don't be in a hurry in terms of movies!"
Hearing Mr. Wang's words, Wang Jun raised his eyebrows, and his previous guess with Sister Xue was indeed correct.
Wang Jun had already guessed what the Wang brothers were planning to call themselves in such a hurry at this time, they were just dazzled by the profits created by "Star You", and wanted to take advantage of the current popularity of "Star You" and Wang Jun's popularity at this time, and wanted Wang Jun to make a TV series again to make money!
Of course, the most important thing is that the unpredictable risk in the movie is too great, and Wang Jun has not yet proved himself in the movie, and the Wang brothers are of course reluctant to let Wang Jun prepare any bullshit movies because of his ability to attract money on TV.
In fact, to put it bluntly, Huayi doesn't believe that Wang Jun can make a good movie!
Huayi kneels to add a big director, ignoring the new director, which is a well-known existence in the industry, and "33 Days of Broken Love" and "Thai Embarrassment" in the year after tomorrow are the most famous examples!
Wang Jun believes that if Feng Gangpao said that he wanted to make a movie, Huayi would definitely support it without saying a word, and before "1942" hit the street, Feng Gangpao was definitely the pillar of Huayi and the No. 1 commercial director in China!
As for Wang Jun, although he proved his ability to direct TV series through "Star You", which TV series director have you ever seen successfully directing a movie?
In fact, Wang Jun is already a little eyebrow about the next TV series, but directing a movie is Wang Jun's ultimate goal!
Although Wang Jun knows that he has to compromise for Huayi to make money now, compromise is also a bargain!
Wang Jun thought about it and deliberately frowned: "But Mr. Wang, I just want to shoot movies in the future, I don't need to shoot TV series anymore after "Star You", and I don't want to make TV series anymore!"
Mr. Wang smiled when he heard this, and slightly accentuated his tone: "Our board of directors all feel that although you are very popular with "Star You" at this moment, Wang Jun, your popularity is actually very limited to the box office, and after all, you have only debuted for less than a year, and both the background and the national degree are far from enough. What's more, your popularity at this time is actually very foamy, and the box office appeal is still very limited, so you should make another TV series to stabilize your "Star You" to get the best popularity!"
Wang Jun secretly complained in his heart: Ma De, if you want to make money, just say it, why bother to belittle labor and capital!
Well, in fact, the king is not a fool, although Wang Jun is popular with "Star You" at the moment, but when it comes to the box office appeal of the movie...
I really can only hehe!
In his previous life, Xiao Xianrou Xiaohuadan's popularity was not much worse than Wang Jun's at this time, but he was more ruthless than anyone else when he should pounce on the movie!
And popularity really doesn't represent box office appeal, otherwise now the movies are all about Hu, and Brother Hu is already a movie café!
Of course, Wang Jun knew that he couldn't twist his arms and thighs, and he would eventually make a TV series, but on the surface, he said with a broken momentum: "What I am preparing is just a small-budget movie, and it can be completed in less than 10 million, if the company is afraid that I will mess up, all the investment will be my own investment, and Mr. Wang only needs to give me people and resources!"
Hearing that Wang Jun still didn't listen to persuasion, the king was a little impatient, and raised his gold-rimmed glasses and slightly accentuated his tone: "It's not a matter of money or not, 10 million is nothing to my Huayi, but your next TV series is the decision of the entire Huayi board of directors, your movie should be put aside!"
After speaking, the king always saw that Wang Jun's expression was not good, and he paused and compromised: "That's it, you finish filming another TV series, and then your film plan company will consider it carefully!"
Hearing Mr. Wang's words, Wang Jun quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, labor and management have been acting with you for so long, just waiting for your words!
After listening to Mr. Wang's words, Wang Jun nodded with a reluctant expression: "Okay, then I'll shoot another TV series, but this is definitely the last TV series I directed, and if it's not a movie after that, I'd rather give up!"
Seeing that Wang Jun finally nodded, Mr. Wang was also relieved in his heart: Damn, this cash cow is really hard to coax!
As for what Wang Jun said, the king doesn't care very much, the big deal is that the next time Wang Jun insists on directing a movie, he should just throw 10 million for him to play, and the king always believes that Wang Jun will obediently turn back to make money for Huayi to direct TV after hitting the street!
Just when the king was relieved, Wang Jun paused and stretched out three fingers and said: "I can make a TV series again, but I still have to convert the salary of the leading actor and director into an investment, and I want to take 3 layers of profit!"
Hearing Wang Jun's words, Xiao Wang, who had been silent, had a sharp look in his eyes, and couldn't help but say slightly angrily: "Wang Jun, which TV drama director in China has such an exaggerated price, and you only account for 1.5 layers of "Star You", and now you have raised it twice as much as you open your mouth, isn't it a bit too much!"
Wang Jun shook his finger: "Mr. Wang, this is different, my works are all written, directed and acted by me, it can be said that I am the soul of the entire TV series, and with "Star You" in front, I believe that as long as the next work is above the level line, with my Wang Jun's current signboard on TV, the ability to attract money will definitely exceed that of "Star You", which is a sure deal." ”
After a pause, Wang Jun smiled: "And as far as I know, the copyright of "Star You" alone has made a net profit of more than 200 million, and I believe that the second round of broadcast rights will be added together, and "Star You" will be able to net 300 million soft girl coins for the company before and after, and I can't exaggerate it to drink some soup when the company eats meat!"
Hearing Wang Jun's words, Xiao Wang couldn't help but stand up, but was pressed down by the big Wang, thought for a moment and nodded at Wang Jun and smiled: "No problem, 3 floors are 3 floors, our Huayi has always been a democratic company, and our Wang family is willing to make a fortune with any friends who join Huayi!"
Hearing Mr. Wang's words, Wang Jun couldn't help but be a little impressed, he is indeed worthy of being the person who can bring Huayi to the first giant in the Chinese entertainment industry, this courage is indeed not comparable to ordinary people!
In fact, the bottom limit of the king is only 25%...
