Chapter 111: Bao Qingtian Series
Bao Qingtian is an enduring series, in his previous life, from the beginning of '74 to Wu Qi's crossing, Bao Qingtian has been filming, broadcasting, and has not been interrupted.
At the beginning, Bao Qingtian was not filmed as a series, but after the broadcast, the ratings were good, so he would shoot again and again, and it was not filmed by a film and television company, or even a region.
Wanwan's film and television company ate the first bite of crab, and then Xiangjiang's film and television company followed, and then the inland was not far behind, and continued to shoot one by one.
Adding up all the TV series that filmed Bao Qingtian in his previous life, there are more than 1,000 episodes in total, this is a super long series, filmed one after another, and the ratings have been good.
Running a TV station, the most important thing is the content of the program, of which the TV series is the most important, much more important than variety shows, even in the golden decade of variety shows, TV dramas still occupy the most important proportion of TV stations, and it is difficult to be shaken.
Wu Qi's point of view has always been to make a series, and a TV series that can be made into a series may not be the most popular, but the ratings must be good, and it can definitely make money, who will continue to shoot if it doesn't make money.
The Bao Gong case is a widely circulated romance in China, with many stories, perhaps different from the official history, adding a lot of interest, but it is precisely because it is interesting that everyone likes to watch it, who will like the official history at a glance.
Sorting out the romance and legend of Bao Zheng and using it to shoot a TV series, a thousand episodes is not enough, you can easily shoot thousands of episodes, and you can even make it up.
decided to shoot Bao Qingtian, the preparation work must be started first, he has watched this drama before, but he watched it intermittently, and he didn't watch it completely, after all, there are more than 1,000 episodes, and there are always omissions.
If you have seen it, Wu Qi can write the script, even if the memory is not clear, you can restore it with a memory stick, but if you haven't read it, he can't do it.
He can write up to half of the script, less than 500 episodes, with a hundred episodes he planned to shoot, 500 episodes can shoot up to five, what to do with the rest.
Bao Qingtian, an IP that is destined to make money in the long run, he will not give it up, and if he manages it with his heart, he will inevitably make countless profits.
Therefore, it is necessary to expand the screenwriting team of Daluo Media Co., Ltd., after the filming of 500 episodes, a large number of screenwriters are needed to write the scripts later.
In addition, it is necessary to set up the scenery, and the Qing palace and streets built during the filming of "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" are different from the Song Dynasty and need to be rebuilt.
Fortunately, Wu Qi is rich, and now he is wealthy, and it is no problem to build a Song Dynasty film and television area, let alone just build a Song Dynasty street.
He has the ambition to build a film and television city, if it is done in one step, it is not enough to do it without billions, he does not have so much money, only step by step, accumulate a lot, and eventually become a big film and television city.
First find a construction company to build a street scene, let Wu Xing keep an eye on it, Wu Qi went to recruit screenwriters, he was not ready to find adult or experienced screenwriters, but took fresh graduates or seniors as the first choice.
The first three TV series, two "Family with Children" and "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview", were all written and directed by Wu Qi, and he didn't use a screenwriter, so he didn't think of recruiting a screenwriter.
It wasn't until the filming of Bao Qingtian that he remembered that screenwriters were still useful, so Wu Qi advertised to recruit screenwriters, he didn't expect to recruit the screenwriter's team at once, he could come step by step, anyway, there was still time.
Bao Qingtian's series, he plans to shoot 100 episodes, broadcast one in half a year, and shoot 500 episodes for three years, which is still enough.
Bao Qingtian is different from "Family with Children" and "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview", those two series belong to unique IP, Wu Qi owns the copyright, and others are not allowed to use it fraudulently, he can shoot when he wants, and there is no need to worry about competition.
Bao Qingtian is different, this is a public IP, anyone can use it, and the interval between the two should not be too long, in case other film and television companies follow suit, it will inevitably have an impact.
To film Bao Qingtian, there are three roles that are the most important, namely Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao and Gongsun Ce, who are known as the iron triangle of Bao Qingtian's drama.
Bao Qingtian series, in addition to watching the stories of solving cases, the next thing to watch is the performance of the Iron Triangle, only if the actors of these three roles perform well, this drama can be brilliant.
According to Wu Qi's plan, Bao Qingtian will shoot at least ten films, and if the ratings are okay, he will even keep filming, and it is possible to shoot dozens of films.
Therefore, if you can play these three roles, the fire will definitely be popular, as for the degree of popularity, it depends on Bao Qingtian's ratings and influence.
Wu Qi will not participate in this play, at most he will make a cameo, anyway, he will definitely not play the three roles of the Iron Triangle.
This series is too long, there is no upper limit to the ten films, he really doesn't have time, he will follow the filming one by one, even if he is a director, he will direct the first three at most, and then he will hand it over and give it to someone else to direct.
It is not easy to find actors in the Iron Triangle, Zhanzhao must be handsome, he must have a certain foundation in martial arts, and he must be in place in performing and fighting; Bao Zheng must be upright, his expression must be solemn, his voice must be in place, and the actors must be able to sing Peking Opera.
As for Gongsun Ce, the requirements are not so high, as long as the performer's acting skills are okay and bookish, he can be fully qualified for this role.
When the construction of the Song Dynasty film and television area began, Wu Qi went to the imperial capital, one was to choose actors, and the other was to find martial arts instructors.
"Hey, Quanzi, where are you, at school, do you have time, I want to find you out for a get-together, yes, I have something to do with you, I have arrived in the imperial capital now." Okay, okay, okay, just meet near your school, I'll be right there. ”
He studied at the Imperial Capital Film Academy for three years, and although he was a good student and focused on learning, he also made some friends, and he had a friend he could talk to at the Imperial Capital Drama Academy.
found a small restaurant near the Imperial Capital Drama Academy, Wu Qi occupied a table and waited, and after about ten minutes, Tang Quan came over.
"Whew...... I'm exhausted. ”
Tang Quan sat down across from him, gasping for breath as he poured a glass of water into his mouth.
After a glass of water and a few more gasps, the soup was like a bellows in the lungs, which gradually subsided and finally eased up.
"Qizi, why did you kid think about coming to me, I heard that you made a lot of noise at school and have run away. ”
Tang Quan said with a smile.
Wu Qi shook his head and smiled helplessly: "What nonsense are you talking about, what are you running away, saying it so ugly, I am going back to inherit the family business." ”
Tang Quan smiled "haha": "I'm joking with you, I know, you kid has become a director, so far, three TV series have been filmed, all of which are very popular, and 'Kangxi Weifu Private Interview' is still serialized, you kid is popular, not only has become a famous director, but also a famous actor." ”
