Chapter 726: Science Fiction TV Series (Second Update)
"Collaborative TV series?"
Lin Han asked rhetorically, he really didn't think about filming a TV series, now that the movie project can't be completed, where is there still time to shoot a TV series!
Han Feiguang explained: "Mr. Lin, you also know that science fiction themes are the weakness of our domestic dramas, and among the hundreds of TV series a year, it is estimated that only one or two are science fiction. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes, I'm afraid these two sci-fi TV series can't meet the audience yet, right? Anyway, I haven't watched a few domestic sci-fi TV series over the years, but American dramas have a lot of classics in this genre!"
It has been three years since Lin Han came to this world, but he found some science fiction movies and saw some science fiction novels, but he didn't see any traces of science fiction TV series on TV.
Most of the current TVs are ancient romance idol dramas, short tearing dramas in parents, anti-Japanese spy wars, and those things before and after marriage!
There are very few science fiction TV series that can be named, and most of them are from previous years, and in recent years, science fiction has also begun to exert force, but there is no feedback in the field of TV dramas.
In this world, there is "Young King Wesley", and there is also the idol dog blood "The Ultimate Class", but there is no TV series like "Happy Planet" with science fiction for children and teenagers, and even "Magic Mobile" like Silly Girl!
The only sci-fi TV series that has really triggered a ratings frenzy should be the Wesley series, which was once the annual ratings champion in 2003 and made countless viewers crazy.
But it was a TV series more than ten years ago, and more than ten years have passed, but there is no science fiction TV series that can leave a deep impact on the hearts of the audience!
Many people say that the current science fiction films are all supported by special effects, and the investment is too large, the risk of loss is very high, and if you only rely on the Chinese market, you will lose money, not to mention whether domestic audiences or TV stations will buy it or not.
As ridiculed by netizens, the biggest sci-fi TV series in China is probably the "Approaching Science" column of CCTV-Science and Education Channel.
"In the past, there were more science fiction TV series, but now there are fewer and fewer of them. Do you know "Yuan Zhenxia"?" Han Feiguang reminded.
Lin Han searched in his mind for a while, and suddenly said: "You mean the TV series that TVB came out in the past? I remember that there are many big names starring, it feels very good!"
"That's right, that's it. It is based on Mr. Ni Kuang's novel of the same name, starring Liming, Li Jiaxin, Zhu Yin, Faye Wong and others, and it was quite popular in our time!"
Wesley and Yuan Zhenxia are both novels by Ni Kuang, and Ni Kuang, as one of the four great talents of Hong Kong, has made an indelible contribution to the development of China's science fiction TV dramas.
There are not only "Young King", but also "Blue Blood Wesley", "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley", etc., the eighth generation Wesley has dominated the film and television industry for 20 years!
In the nineties of the last century and the beginning of this century, there were science fiction TV series with good quality, but they disappeared in the last ten years, which is not to stop developing, but to regress!
"So which of my novels do you fancy for copyright? If I could, I'd like to license it to you. ”
Lin Han's tone has been loosened, and now the mainstream audience of TV dramas doesn't know what their appetite is, if they are tired of watching costume dramas, period dramas and family ethics dramas, will they like science fiction TV series?
Compared with novels, science fiction TV series are more attractive to the general public, after all, watching TV is simpler and more intuitive than reading books, and at the same time much more relaxed.
To develop this kind of sci-fi atmosphere, it is not enough to publish a few books and movies, the movie is only two hours long, and the TV series is longer!
After all, it is an indisputable fact that the broad masses of the people regard watching television as entertainment in their daily lives, and they spend more time watching television than watching movies and novels.
If the sci-fi TV series can be broadcast on those TV stations with relatively high ratings, the effect must be very good, which can fill the gap in this aspect of Galaxy Pictures and make Lin Han's sci-fi empire more complete.
"If we have time, we can find a time to talk about it in detail, it may not be convenient right now!" Han Feiguang took out his business card and prepared to exchange it with Lin Han.
However, Lin Han never carried his business card with him, he was not used to using this thing at all, he was a writer and filmmaker, and he was not a business tycoon!
So at this time, he also took out his mobile phone directly, "I'll call you directly, and you can save it when the time comes." My WeChat ID is also a mobile phone number, so you can add a friend. ”
Han Feiguang felt the huge generation gap between himself and Lin Han at this moment, but after he heard his mobile phone ringing, he saw Lin Han cut off the phone.
"Goodbye then!"
……
After Han Feiguang turned around and left, Chen Jiaxuan walked over slowly with high heels, and she also heard about Mr. Han, who is known as the conscience of national dramas.
"What is Han Feiguang looking for you to do, isn't it to talk about how much he likes your novels?"
Obviously, Chen Jiaxuan also remembered that it was Han Feiguang who took a picture of Lin Han's 10 euro check just now, and more than 2 million yuan came to buy this check, and his courage was still quite large!
Lin Han's hand naturally wrapped around her thin waist and explained: "Han always comes to me to cooperate, and wants to develop a sci-fi TV series with us. ”
Now it was Chen Jiaxuan's turn to be surprised, "Science fiction TV series?
In today's TV drama market, there is hardly any place left for domestic sci-fi TV series, and if young people want to watch sci-fi TV series, they will shift their attention to American dramas and British dramas.
What's more, how many young people nowadays watch TV series?
Most of them watch all kinds of videos on the computer, and rarely sit on the couch and watch TV series!
Most of the people who squat in front of the TV on time and watch TV are still housewives, so all kinds of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas are in full swing.
Of course, this is not to say that no one will watch fashion dramas and the like, idol dramas and fashion dramas also have a fixed audience, but if you want to attract wandering audiences, you need high quality and high reputation!
Maybe filming a sci-fi TV series is a bottomless pit, and a lot of money has been spent to shoot TV series, and it is estimated that there are definitely not many TV stations willing to spend money to buy them.
In an era when ratings are king, who would spend money on this kind of TV series that is destined to not have many viewers?
If the filmed TV series can't be sold, the cost will not be recovered, and the investor will naturally lose money, and over time, no one will want to touch the script of this theme again, and even some actors are unwilling to spend time and energy to star in such a TV series!
"That's why they found me and wanted to work with me. ”
Lin Han said unashamedly that he is no longer the hottest science fiction writer at the moment, but the hottest writer at the moment.
As long as you live in the information age, whether the audience likes him or not, you already know that there is such a person!
Therefore, Han Feiguang's calculation was very exquisite, dragging Lin Han to the ship, borrowing his fame and his good reputation in Central Plains Film and Television, most of which could attract widespread attention.
If there is attention, there will naturally be heat, and if there is heat, it will inevitably be converted into ratings!
Now the themes of the TV drama market are too similar, and they are all those themes over and over again, the audience is tired of watching them, the actors are tired of acting, and even the producers want to open up new themes.
Central Plains Film and Television just wants to be the first person to eat crabs, they themselves are strong, plus Lin Han's words are a strong combination, if this combination can't sell TV series, it is estimated that the rest of the people can't do it!
It just so happened that Lin Han had a similar idea, and the influence of writing ten novels was not as high as making a high-rated TV series, but he was trapped by his ignorance of the film and television industry, so he just crossed the river by feeling the stones first.
The filming of "Immortality" was a tentative move, who knew that it would be an instant hit, coupled with the current "Matrix" series, Galaxy Pictures, which has not yet figured out the rules of the film industry, suddenly stood at the peak of film production!
Both of them had the idea of working together, so they hit it off just now.
Otherwise, how could Lin Han rashly exchange mobile phone numbers with others, and he also wanted to promote this cooperation!
"Which of your novels did he fancy the copyright of the TV series?" Chen Jiaxuan silently calculated in her heart, as if most of Lin Han's works were sold for movie copyrights, and none of the TV series copyrights were sold!
Lin Han shook his head, "There are really few novels in my hands that are suitable for adaptation into TV series." But I'm not in a hurry now, I'll talk to him in two days. If the cooperation can be reached, our company will definitely participate in the investment. ”
Chen Jiaxuan nodded: "It's really not in a hurry, it's the Spring Festival in a few days, let's take a look at the other party's needs first." ”
In fact, the novel in Lin Han's hands is indeed not very suitable for adapting TV series.
"I, Robot" is a collection of short stories;"The Martian" is certainly a big IP, but there is only one protagonist for a long time, and the audience can't watch it;"Jurassic Park" is estimated to be slightly better, but with the pearl of the movie in front, the investment in the TV series version must be very large, and Paramount may not agree to move the story content to the screen in advance.
So now Lin Han can't help but worry, assuming that the cooperation is reached, what script should he find that can make Chinese audiences interested and insist on watching the sci-fi TV series script!
"Happy Planet" seems to be good, but it is aimed at teenagers, and "Magic Mobile" is definitely not in the scope of consideration, so he can only look at American dramas and British dramas!
As a science fiction lover in his previous life, if he hadn't watched a few science fiction American dramas, he wouldn't have been able to say anything, and he had watched almost all the more popular and unpopular science fiction dramas.
Even the more off-the-beaten-path American dramas he found didn't even have subtitles, so he was stunned and gnawed on raw meat to watch it!
