(Damn, I finally understand how to write the extras - just think of where those are!) ）

"In the Name of the People" continues to be a hit, and the most obvious manifestation is the ratings.

The ratings of the 40th episode soared directly to 7%!

The topic also accounts for 32% of the market share, creating a miracle in recent years.

In mid-March, as the chief distributor and producer of "In the Name of the People", Shen Lin came to China University of Political Science and Law, which can be regarded as a roadshow, on the one hand, communicating with college students, mainly answering questions from the media present.

Since the Oscars, Mr. Shen Lin has not accepted interviews with the media, and the media and reporters have accumulated a stomach full of questions.

"Actually, when we were producing the drama "In the Name of the People", we had already thought that it would have a good impact, but to be honest, I really didn't expect everyone to be so sought after! At the beginning, my "Please Answer" trilogy didn't seem to be so sensational! ”

"Have you noticed that this drama is jointly produced by the Film and Television Center of the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Propaganda Department of the Soviet Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Golden Shield Film and Television Center of the Security Department of the Central Military Commission and other units, that is to say, to produce this kind of large-scale TV series, if there are no these big backers and backgrounds, I will definitely not dare to do this drama!"

"Screenwriter Zhou Mason, the peak of his creation was from 2001 to 2005, and he produced a total of five TV series. After that, there were no works for three years, two were released in 2009, and there were no works for seven years since, until the current "In the Name of the People". You know why? Because he is only good at writing officialdom. And since 2005, China has begun a strict review of the anti-corruption drama. The script he wrote couldn't be broadcast at all! ”

"It turns out that with a little loosening of the constraints on the creative staff, they can come back to life and produce a work that satisfies the audience. Seriously, the first time I saw the original script of the show, my first thought was if I could put the background out of the air – just like when I did "Chinatown Veteran"! ”

"There's really no way, we literary and art workers who are restricted by the censorship system can't fully release our creative ability, there are too many shackles!"

"I filmed Operation Mekong the year before last, and everyone knows that it was with the direct support of the Ministry of Public Security that it broke through the censorship and was able to create it! Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to see Operation Mekong on the big screen! ”

"In fact, in the 80s, when censorship was relatively loose, there were a lot of attractive film and television works. Director Zhou Xiaowen made "The Last Madness" and "The Price of Madness" as soon as he debuted, and he was so popular that if he continued to develop, he would be more popular than Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige, who mainly focused on art films, but later, because of the suppression of police and gangster films, he almost never had the opportunity to play to his strengths, and only made another police film in 93, and since then he has fallen, filmed a bunch of costume films, and also went to shoot TV series. ”

"Famous screenwriter Lu Wei, what have you been doing all these years? From 1982 to 1999, he wrote 12 films in 17 years, and from 2000 to now, he has only written 5 films in the same 17 years. Shouldn't you be able to write more and more? Why is it decreasing? "In the Name of the People" is a very obvious example of how much impact the loosening of restrictions on creative personnel can have on film and television works! ”

"Okay, that's pretty much the end of the whining, what do you want to ask?"

Shen Lin stopped his speech and prepared to answer questions from a bunch of students sitting in the auditorium, including the media.

"Director Shen, first of all, congratulations on winning the Oscar for Best Director."

"Thank you."

"Now many people are discussing "In the Name of the People", and Douban even gave a high score of 0 for a time, from your point of view, what do you think is the reason why the drama "In the Name of the People" can become popular?"

Yo, that's a pretty good question!

Shen Lin took a look at this media and was disgusted with the news.

"In fact, I chose to sign a contract with Mango TV at the beginning, firstly, because of the high price given by Mango Channel, and secondly, if it is sold to CCTV, it cannot exceed 40 episodes. When he signed a contract with Mango Channel, he patted his chest to ensure that the ratings exceeded 3, but the rest of the crew complained that the pressure was too great. So far, the ratings have broken 5 on average, and the highest has broken 7, and now it is one step away from making history. ”

"The platform of Mango Channel is really good, of course, I think I should be more grateful for the fact that other TV series are too bad, to be honest, if every TV series is played normally, "In the Name of the People" will not be popular at all!"

"The current atmosphere in the film and television industry is "shoot casually, shoot badly, too difficult scenes, stars can't act", frantically feeding the audience Yoneda Gong there. To put it bluntly, there is nothing special about our drama, the appearance of the whole TV series may be Teacher Qin Hailu who plays Gao Yaqin, and what is her salary? I'll give you a thorough explanation, 3 million! ”

"You may think 3 million is a lot! Let me tell you again, the current market price is about 2 million for a small fresh meat for a commercial event! In other words, the salary of our Golden Horse movie queen TV series is almost equal to a commercial activity of a small fresh meat! Forget it, don't talk about these, in my opinion, "In the Name of the People" can be popular not at all because of how good the subject matter is, how great the script is, and how outstanding the acting skills are! ”

"It's just serious. Seriously adapted, seriously filmed, and seriously performed. The actor tries to figure out the role, and goes to the prison to study the mentality of the officials before and after. The screenwriter went to the Supervision Yuan to look through the files, one by one, one by one, and slowly gnawed at the verdict one by one. Most of the filming crew uses real-life shooting, scene by scene... What we give to our audience is the best we can be! ”

Before Shen Lin finished speaking, it immediately triggered thunderous applause.

"Director Shen, according to rumors, the total production cost of this drama only cost 600 million, of which the actor's salary only cost 50 million?"

"Well, almost, when it comes to this, I really have to thank many actors for their voluntary contributions, they are filming all night, but the salary they get is only a few hundred yuan for transportation expenses! Thank you so much to these old artists! ”

"Director Shen, many viewers have reported that the two lines of Zheng Shengli and Lin Huahua have lowered the level of the whole "In the Name of the People" by two levels!"

“… I'm going to explain this, it's all my fault! ”

Shen Lin immediately took over the conversation, "At the beginning, screenwriter Zhou and Director Xu asked me if I wanted to add Zheng Shengli and Lin Huahua, but I think there should be no problem, so I asked them to add this young line, who knows that the audience doesn't like it, it's embarrassing!" ”

In fact, the real situation is that Shen Lin has never paid attention to the filming of TV series at all, in his opinion, with excellent screenwriters, excellent directors, and a group of old actors with superb acting skills, he as a producer will have no effect, and he will not appear at all.

And he was so busy last year that he didn't have time to pay attention to anything else.

The TV series and movies produced by Zhao Liying's studio basically have him as the producer and producer, how can he do everything in detail?

"So what do you think the hit of "In the Name of the People" will inspire the market?"

"I don't know what kind of inspiration it will be for the market, but I can clearly say that 'a TV series that is carefully produced will be recognized by the audience!' , many years ago, we knew that the audience liked dramas, and back then, "Soldier Assault", which had no love or even a woman, attracted much attention. In recent years, we thought that young people loved to see fresh meat and love feelings...... It is estimated that the main reason is that the economic power of fans is too strong, in fact, the preferences of the public have not changed, everyone knows what a good show is, and they will vote with the remote control! ”

"Director Shen, there have been a lot of bad reviews about "In the Name of the People" on the Internet recently, saying that it is 'a hypocritical carnival under the cruel reality!' What do you think about this? ”

"Hehe..."

Shen Lin sneered: "Our country is probably a relationship between too many people, and some of the guys who boast that "everyone in the world is drunk and I am sober", they praise South Korea and Japan all day long for daring to needle the disadvantages of filming movies and television, and scold the domestic drama Anti-Japanese Wonder Hero, and now the domestic drama has finally begun to needle the current evil, and they have begun to jump up and spray "hypocritical carnival under the cruel reality" again! ”

"The bones of South Korea's 'Time and Age' are still underwater, isn't it a hypocritical carnival for ordinary people to feel refreshed by Korean movies?"

"You can look at Douban, there is a very famous film review, talking about the movie "The Melting Pot", which mentions 'They have movies that can change countries, and we are free to change the country of movies' What does "Melting Pot Law" I really doubt the IQ of these people, the birth of a law has its inevitability, and movies are only the direct cause on the surface, so don't think that a movie can really make a law come out! What can a movie represent?

"You can have double standards as a person, but don't let double standards expose your IQ."
