Chapter 216 "Charlotte" is finished
In mid-April, all the scenes about high school in "Charlotte" have been completed, and "Wanwan" did not expect the second season to officially start.
The production standard of 2,000 yuan per episode strictly restricts the crew's shooting style to continue to be "grassroots", and the release of a new episode immediately attracted praise from fans.
Zhang Huijun came to Lin Yi to confess and apologize, and Lin Yi didn't care whether he was sincere or not, but gave him a choice, whether to continue filming "Ten Thousand Thousand" for two thousand yuan per episode, or be willing to try new works, and guarantee that the investment in new works is more than ten times higher.
Zhang Huijun finally chose to continue filming "Wan Wan", but Lin Yi had a headache about the director of "Hanging Man and Hanging Woman".
"Lao Kang, why don't you try it?" Lin Yi set his sights on Kang Weijun.
"Don't be, I can't play with your young people's films, my head is aging." Kang Weijun pointed to his head and said.
"How old are you?" Lin Yi rolled his eyes.
Kang Weijun is actually only in his forties, and this age is the time for directors to release their works. But compared with a spoof-themed online short film like "Wan Wan", forty years old is indeed old.
However, "Hanging Man and Hanging Woman" is not "Wan Wan", although it is also a spoof, but it is a little more subtle in comparison, and the brain hole is not so big, this style Kang Weijun can completely control.
"Na, this is the script of the first episode, you try it first, if it doesn't work, I'll find someone else." Lin Yi said.
"This ...... How long is an episode? Kang Weijun flipped through the thin script and said.
"Fifteen minutes or so." Lin Yi said.
"Or is it a web series?" Kang Wei Jun said.
"Yes, the goal is to break 100 million clicks in a single episode." Lin Yi smiled.
"You're a madman!" Kang Weijun said, but suddenly burst out laughing.
Lin Yi knew that there was a play.
"This book is a bit interesting, more interesting than "Wan Wan"...... Okay, I'll try to shoot an episode, if it doesn't work, you can find someone else. Kang Weijun said, "But what about "Charlotte"? ”
""Charlotte" will be filmed first, and strive to finish it before the end of the month, and you will start preparing "Men and Women" next month." Lin Yi said.
At present, 70% of the scenes of "Charlotte" have been completed, and the rest are all adult scenes, except for the protagonist Lin Yi, and Yu Xiaomei and others, who do not appear much, they are basically adult professional actors, so the difficulty of filming is much reduced, and it is basically not difficult to finish in half a month.
According to Zhang Hanhan's report, the entertainment production department has been set up, and the personnel are in place, ready to start program preparation.
However, Cao Xiaoxue has not yet found a cooperative TV station, Mango TV is now wealthy, and does not take the newly established Tianyi Entertainment Variety Show Department in his eyes at all, although Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV are not willing to be the second, but they also have a few good programs in their hands, and they don't believe that the new programs of Tianyi Entertainment, which has no experience, will help them surpass Mango Channel, as for Sujiang Station, people are already quite content with guarding "Insincerity......
Looks like I'm going to have to do it myself...... Lin Yi simply explained to Cao Xiaoxue and asked her not to run away, and wait until she finished filming the movie to talk about finding a TV station.
Lin Yi thought about it again, should he stop focusing on online dramas? Should I shoot a regular TV series that can be broadcast on a TV station? After all, the share of the TV drama market is not small, and it can still deal well with TV stations......
It's just a waste of time to shoot a TV series, so you can only find someone else's director, but even if you find another director, you have to write the script yourself......
At least now he doesn't have time to engage in these things, Lin Yi just continued to shoot quickly, and finally on April 25th, "Charlotte" was completed.
There are not many special effects in this film, and the post-editing is also entrusted to the editors of Tianyi Film and Television and Kang Weijun, and Lin Yi hurriedly ran back to the capital.
"Lao Liu, "Charlotte" has been completed, are you ready for the release plan?" Lin Yi sat in the conference room of the headquarters of Tianyi Group and held an interim high-level meeting to summarize the recent work.
"It's ready, Mr. Lin, please take a look." Liu Weixi hurriedly handed over a folder.
Lin Yi motioned to the assistant to put away the folder, but he didn't look at it, and asked again: "What is the box office of "Shorty"?" ”
"Twenty-six million," Liu Weixi said, "after all, this is last year's old film, and it is not a big production, and it is all new actors......
"Okay, it's not bad to be able to pass 20 million." Lin Yi nodded, and said, "Lao Zhang, how is the progress on the theater line?" ”
"At present, we have acquired two cinema companies, a total of 12 cinemas, 28 screens, and three cinema chains are in negotiation, two of which will enter the substantive acquisition stage in the near future." Zhang Haojie, the CEO of the cinema company, reported, "In addition, we have six self-built cinemas under construction, which are expected to be put into use within two months......
Lin Yi nodded, there can be such progress in just a few months, and the theater chain is still doing well, at least in terms of results, it is much better than the distribution company.
Lin Yi turned to Zhang Hanhan again and asked: "Now I am most concerned about our TV entertainment programs, and in the next few months, I will focus on the content of this part." ”
"It's so stressful," Zhang Hanhan said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, the TV entertainment department has been formed, do you want me to report to you about the specific situation?" ”
"No, the focus now is to find a TV station to cooperate with......," Lin Yi said.
"It's my job that is not in place, please punish Mr. Lin." Cao Xiaoxue said.
"This can't be blamed on you, we don't have connections in this area, and we don't have the qualifications to produce entertainment programs, it's normal for others to disagree with us, after all, entertainment programs are different from TV dramas, TV stations can buy back to ashes with face, once entertainment programs are released, it means that the image of TV stations, viewing habits and other aspects of the impact, they can't be blamed for being not careful." Lin Yi said, "At least your contact during this period of time has a relationship with the TV station, and then we work hard to reach a cooperation." ”
Is it so easy to reach a cooperation with a TV station?
Of course it's easy—as long as Lin Yi uses a little relationship.
In order to reach a deal with the TV station, it is not enough to use the relationship between the Qian family and Fang Lao, it is enough to have Director Liu of Radio and Television come forward, and he is also professional......
