――――――――――――――――――――――――
When the Propaganda Department of the East China Military Region came forward, things became simpler, and of course Oriental Television and Fine Arts Film Studio had no reason to refuse, especially Oriental Television, which immediately decided to cooperate after watching the finished film.
The representative of Oriental TV who communicated with Chen Geng was their film purchasing director, named Guo Jinhao, a middle-aged man in his 40s, who held Chen Geng's hand and refused to let go: "Manager Chen, when will you finish filming?" I have a hunch that if it can be released around the Spring Festival, this sitcom will definitely be able to get quite good ratings. ”
"But our plan is to shoot 60 to 80 episodes," Chen Geng was a little embarrassed: "There will definitely be no way to finish filming a year ago." ”
"60 to 80 episodes? So much? In this era when there are only about 20 episodes of TV series, 60 to 80 episodes of TV series insist on exceeding everyone's imagination, such as Guo Jinhao at this moment, his eyes are about to pop out: "And it's so long, will there be people who like to watch it?" ”
"Is seventy or eighty episodes a lot?" Chen Geng asked rhetorically.
Isn't the seventy or eighty episodes of "......" long enough? Guo Jinhao was directly speechless.
After thinking about it, Chen Geng asked: "Director Guo, let's not talk about how long this TV series is, let's just say a little bit, do you like to watch this TV series?" ”
"Like! Very much! Guo Jinhao said without hesitation: "Let's not talk about the connotation and educational significance of this TV series, at least I feel very relaxed after watching it." ”
You said that this person is like this now, watching a TV series should pay attention to what shock and education you have received from it, and watching a novel should pay attention to what life inspiration and understanding you have received...... How can there be so much shock and education, how can there be so much life inspiration and insight, Chen Geng's view is completely different: "Director Guo, my opinion is slightly different from yours, the educational significance and enlightenment of the TV series must be there, but I think that for the people, they don't watch TV series to be educated and inspired, everyone has worked hard all day, they have to study in the factory, in the trade union, and when they come home, they have to study?"
In my opinion, ordinary people watch TV series just to relax a little after a tiring day and enjoy the joy and happiness of family together. That one is more educational. ”
Chen Geng's words are simply subversive for Guo Jinhao!
From childhood to adulthood, everyone has an indispensable lesson is to feel after reading, you have seen a certain movie, you have to talk about what you have learned in this movie; After watching a certain TV series, you have to talk about what inspiration you have received in this TV series; After reading a certain novel, you want to tell me what life insights this novel has given you......
Although many times these so-called perceptions and enlightenments are made up casually, no one thinks that there is anything wrong with this, and even after a long period of exposure to it, everyone is even accustomed to this way, especially practitioners in the media industry, who will always consciously or unconsciously think that they are very noble, if their works cannot make readers and audiences have some understanding, improvement and even moral sublimation, it is not a successful work.
Chen Geng's statement is simply deviant in the eyes of many people, Guo Jinhao subconsciously wanted to refute it, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to say: Chen Geng is not an ordinary person, and the most important thing is that in fact, many times, such as when watching "Journey to the West", he didn't think about what life insights he had gotten......
In his heart, Guo Jinhao really agreed with Chen Geng's words, he really wanted to be educated and realize life, so he just went to watch "News Network". But after all, he couldn't say it directly, so he had to say: "I can't say that, I think this "I Love My Home" is still very meaningful......"
"Okay," Chen Geng didn't argue with him, but continued with his words: "Since this TV series also has a positive significance, reflecting many changes after China's reform and opening up, the people probably think it's good, in this case, as long as we can maintain this level, what does it matter if "I Love My Home" is a 20-episode or an 80-episode series?" What's more, as long as "And let's not say how many episodes there are, how do people know how long this TV series is?" ”
Seem...... That's the reason.
Guo Jinhao has to admit that Chen Geng's words do have some truth: as long as the people like to watch TV series, what does it matter if this TV series is 20 episodes or 80 episodes?
The most important thing is that Guo Jinhao has read the script of "I Love My Home", unlike the current TV series that tell a complete ancient tree from beginning to end, "I Love My Home" is a collection of a series of small stories, just like life, today's things are dealt with, and new things will be encountered tomorrow, as long as the stories provided by Chen Geng can maintain this level in the future, it seems that there is really not much difference whether this TV series is 20 episodes or 80 episodes.
However, in this way, Chen Geng's words also made Guo Jinhao a little difficult: "If you wait until the 80 episodes are filmed before it is released, it is estimated that it may not be released until next summer, right?" ”
Chen Geng frowned and asked, "What does Dongfang TV mean, do you hope to release it around the Spring Festival?" ”
Guo Jinhao nodded: "The leaders are very optimistic about "I Love My Family", after speaking, he sighed again: "But now it seems to be difficult." ”
After pondering for a moment, Chen Geng shook his head: "Actually, it's not difficult to do. ”
"Isn't it difficult?" Guo Jinhao was stunned: "What do you say?" ”
"It's simple, we don't have to wait until all the episodes are filmed before they are released, we can release them while filming, and this production method is more popular in Europe and the United States......"
"No, no, no," without waiting for Chen Gengshu to press me, Guo Jinhao hurriedly shook his head: "I know what you said, but the TV series produced by Americans will release two episodes a week, and we will release at least 2 episodes a day, isn't this comparable at all?" What if there is a interruption in the filming process? ”
"2 episodes a day? That's not a problem," this little problem is not a problem at all, Chen Geng immediately said: "If you think it's not okay to release it while filming, we can shoot a part of it first, such as 20 episodes, and then start filming and releasing it at the same time, with a buffer of 20 episodes, even if something is delayed during filming, it will not affect the release, what do you think?" ”
"That's it......" Guo Jinhao frowned and thought for a while, and finally nodded: "It seems to be okay?" ”
The filming of a sitcom is not so complicated, the word "scene" limits most of the time, the story takes place in this "scene", and this scene is still an indoor scene, no need to go out to pick up the scene, no need to go back and forth, and no need to worry about the weather, as long as the actors play normally, many times they can even pass through one shot, if they are fast, they can complete the filming of two or three or even three or four episodes in one day, if you hold the "inventory" of 20 episodes in your hand, that is, 10 days of playback, It's really not too risky to be released while filming.
Using this mode of operation, not only greatly reduces the risk, but the most important thing is that it can realize the requirements of the station to be released during the Spring Festival, Guo Jinhao was moved, hesitated, and finally nodded: "That...... I'll talk to the leader, if the leader agrees, let's do it! ”
………………………………
Chen Geng's proposal to shoot 20 episodes first and then release them while filming has caused great controversy within Oriental TV.
On the one hand, everyone is used to the whole TV series being released after all the filming is completed, and there is no precedent for Chen Geng's operation method - the current Spring Festival Gala is recorded and broadcast - and the risk is too great, not to mention that the actor suddenly can't find the state, just one point: What if the story made up by Chen Geng is not ideal? ;
On the other hand, many leaders have also shown great interest in Chen Geng's idea of filming 80 episodes, and now major TV stations are worried about how to fill TV programs, but how can good programs be so easy to find? If this TV series can really shoot 80 episodes or more, it means that at least for a long time, Oriental TV will not have to worry about the content of this time period. The most important thing is that with 20 episodes as a buffer, although there are still risks, the risks are actually acceptable......
In the end, after some debate, Oriental TV finally reached an agreement: shoot 30 episodes first, if the content of these 30 episodes can satisfy the audience, then broadcast while filming, if the audience does not like this new way of expressing the TV series, then cancel the production plan later.
Chen Geng felt that this condition was acceptable, and since Chen Geng felt that it was acceptable, of course, the Fine Arts Film Studio and the Propaganda Department of the East China Military Region had no opinion, and the matter was decided.
The next step is the process of preparing for the crew, which should not be detailed.
Chen Geng's patience is very good, Chen Geng, who is immersed in the script writing of "I Love My Home", seems to have completely forgotten that there is such a thing as a German, but the Germans are in a hurry!
Regarding the conditions proposed by Chen Geng before, of course, the Wolf Castle side sternly refused: What do you Chen Geng think of our Wolf Castle? But when Chen Geng didn't move for several days, Grayhead became anxious, and he was very worried that Chen Geng would poke this matter out, so he had to convey the whole thing to the Wolfsburg headquarters in an alarmist way.
After several days of discussion, the resolution of the Wolfsburg headquarters reached Chen Geng's ears through Grehead: "Wolfsburg can send an advisory team to help Runhua Industrial build in production, sales, procurement, finance and other systems in the name of technical support, but the number of the entire advisory team does not exceed 8 people, and the time is only ...... a month."
"That's not right," before Grahider finished speaking, Chen Geng was unhappy: "Old Ge, this is different from what we said. ”
Grayhead's expression was embarrassed: "This...... Chen, I tried my best, but that's what Wolfsburg HQ meant......"
"No, no, Lao Ge, you misunderstood," Chen Geng interrupted Grayhead again: "I want you to understand something, I am not asking you to 'do your best', but 'must do it', Runhua Industrial's condition is the final clause, and no form of bargaining is accepted, if Wolfsburg does not agree to my conditions, you might as well wait and see-I think you should know whose attitude I represent, right?" ”
"You mean...... Your country's military? Grayhead's eyes widened sharply, and his face turned white!
It is no secret that one of the shareholders of Runhua Industrial is the East China Military Region of the Republic, but Gray Head did not realize this before, but now, he suddenly realized a serious fact: Could it be that Chen Geng is from the Chinese military, at least a large military region?
For Wolfsburg, there is nothing worse than offending a country's military forces, yes, Wolfsburg is the first automobile company to enter China, and now it is developing well, but no one dares to guarantee what the consequences will be if they offend the military...... There is still a war going on in southern Xinjiang, and the military's right to speak is not weak at all.
At this moment, Greyhead was really frightened.
Wolf Castle was also frightened, they never thought that behind such an ordinary thing, there was a hidden figure of the military.
Now, it's too late to say anything, the most important thing is to solve this matter as soon as possible, how to solve it? Promise their terms!
――――――――――――――――――――
"Hahahaha......"
There was a burst of laughter in Chen Geng's office, no one had seen things go so smoothly. Wolf Castle agreed to Chen Geng's conditions so happily. In the words of Mr. Xie: "I see, the Germans were frightened this time." ”
"It's not just that I'm frightened, I guess I'm scared to pee my pants," Jia Tingliang smiled very happily: "I really didn't expect to be able to knock so many good things from the Germans this time, and now we make a lot of money." ”
Chen Geng was a little embarrassed: "Old man, I didn't help with the @hai car......"
According to the "agreement" reached with Wolfsburg, Runhua Industry gets what it wants, and Wolfsburg also gets what it wants, so that "Shang@Hai Car" will inevitably become a victim of this transaction, Chen Geng feels quite sorry for Old Man Xie.
Speaking of this, Old Man Xie's face was a little gloomy, and he was still a little disappointed in his heart, the contact with the leaders of SAIC in the magic capital in the past few days made him completely disappointed in the current leaders of SAIC: "Forget it, the children are not angry, they love to toss and toss...... It's their business that they don't fight, let's just do our job. ”
SAIC was willing to fall, which made the old man really sad. (To be continued.) )
