Chapter 182: Pretentious
Li Tianer has been very unhappy recently, because a suspenseful martial arts drama he wrote, directed and acted in was beaten back by several TV stations. bq.e
Li Tianer is the second generation of stars, his parents are both in the entertainment industry, his father is a veteran actor, and his mother is a folk singer. There are also some connections in the circle.
It is easier for the second generation of stars to enter the entertainment industry than others, after all, they have been exposed to it since childhood.
Originally, according to what his father Li Jiang meant, since he wanted to enter the entertainment industry, he would first go to some crews to help and learn some things, but it was okay at first, Li Tianer really went to the crew for a while according to his father's wishes.
It didn't take long for Li Tianer to feel that he had learned enough, enough to go out and work alone.
asked his parents for a sum of money and planned to make a TV series, Li Jiang refused at first, but under the repeated persuasion of Li Tianer and his mother, Li Jiang finally agreed.
Filming a TV series requires a script, and with Li Jiang's connections, Li Tianer quickly received several scripts, but he was not satisfied, and finally planned to write the script himself.
With money, Li Tianer's heart also grew up, thinking of becoming an instant hit, not only writing the script himself, becoming the director himself, but even playing the actor himself, not listening to his father's advice at all, and finally Li Jiang had no choice but to help him contact the crew and so on.
The TV series was filmed bumpily, and Li Tianer felt very good after watching it, so he put aside his father's relationship and went to the TV station to promote his TV series, but he was a newcomer, and the TV station naturally didn't pay too much attention to it.
In desperation, Li Tianer had no choice but to find his father to talk about it, but although Li Jiang had some connections in the circle, he was in business, and finally a TV station was willing to buy the TV series filmed by Li Tianer at a low price, but the price was extremely low. The price of buying a TV station for broadcasting is too high, and although Li Jiang and his wife have some savings, they cannot afford such expenses. And after watching Li Tianer's film, even Li Jiang and his wife have no confidence, so this road is also blocked!
At this moment, Li Jiang had no choice. So Li Tianer put the idea on the online platform!
Compared with TV stations, the threshold for online video websites is naturally much lower, because video stations and production companies generally sign ordinary sharing contracts. Unless the work has been verified by the TV station and has good ratings, otherwise, under normal circumstances, the video station will not choose to buy out the network copyright, but choose the ordinary sales sharing agreement and advertising sharing agreement.
And Li Tianer's TV series is purely written, directed and acted by him, he is just a newcomer without any fame in the entertainment industry, at most he is just carrying the name of a second-generation star, so the video website signed the most basic sharing contract with him.
Advocacy. Li Tianer needs to pay for it himself. It is naturally impossible to be directly hung on the homepage and promoted by Youdou Video like Tang Feng's online short dramas.
Looking at the eye-catching banner advertisement of "Sling Man" on the homepage of Youdou Video, and then looking at the advertisement of the small grid he bought with money, Li Tianer felt jealous for a while.
Tang Feng, a big celebrity in the entertainment industry who has been in the limelight recently, although Li Tianer doesn't know much, he also knows some.
What made him jealous was that Tang Feng's "Sling Man" was also his debut novel, and it was only an online short film, but it was treated so favorably by Youdou, and his Li Tianer's debut novel. is still a drama, I want to advertise, but I have to pay out of my own pocket, and the difference in treatment is so huge. Make him very unwilling!
Looking at Tang Feng's "Sling Man" promotional video, the click rate has reached millions of people, and the number of audience comments has also exceeded 10,000.
Looking at the promotional video of his TV series, there are only a few thousand clicks, and the number of audience comments is even few.
In his opinion, all this is not because his film is not good, but because of the gap in publicity. In his opinion, Tang Feng is younger than him, and it is also his debut, but the treatment gap is so big, which makes him very unhappy and jealous.
In his opinion, if Youdou Video can give him the same treatment as Tang Feng, his results will definitely not lose to Tang Feng's online short drama.
Looking at those media reports on Tang Feng, although many are not very optimistic about whether Tang Feng's online short drama can be successful, they still express their expectations.
In the same way, Li Tianer's first work was only reported by a few tabloids, and it was through his parents' connections and money that they were able to report it.
For the sake of Li Tianer's son, Li Jiang and Yang Meng also spared no effort and took Li Tianer on several programs for publicity.
Today is the last time, and what they want to be on is a self-made talk show of Youdou Video Network!
"Mr. Li, Mr. Yang, Director Li, welcome to Youdou Entertainment for an interview!" The host said with a smile.
"Director Li is only twenty-three years old this year, right?" The moderator asked.
"Yes! Twenty-three! Li Tianer nodded and said.
"At the age of twenty-three, I wrote, directed and acted in a TV series, I think it is rare in the entire entertainment industry, Director Li is really young and promising!" The host complimented.
"Where, where!" Li Tianer said with a smile.
"Can you tell us about your TV series?" The moderator asked.
"Well, at first, I didn't really think about writing my own script, but after reading a few books, I was not satisfied, and finally I thought, why not write my own script? In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer martial arts-themed TV series, and many people feel that the current theme of martial arts is no longer in line with the taste of the current audience, and it has declined, but I don't see it that way, I like to read martial arts novels since I was a child, so I had the idea of writing martial arts by myself, so I have the current "Eagle Man"! Li Tianer said confidently.
"Martial arts-themed TV series and movies, there have been no eye-catching works in recent years, and none of them have achieved too good results, this is a fact, it can be seen that you have a lot of confidence in this martial arts drama, so is there any difference between this "Eagle Man" and traditional martial arts dramas?" The host asked along the topic of Li Tianer.
"Of course, this "Eagleman" is very different from previous martial arts dramas, I position it as suspenseful martial arts, that is, to integrate suspense, reasoning and other elements into martial arts, I think the reason why those previous martial arts dramas did not succeed is because they were too conformist and never thought about innovation, and "Eagleman" is different, I think this drama will reopen the martial arts boom" Li Tianer talked eloquently.
didn't notice the expressions of Li Jiang and Yang Meng on the side, and the host was actually happy in his heart, listening to the other party's bold words and unashamedly criticizing the martial arts dramas of his predecessors, the host was very tired in his heart, calling you Director Li, you really regard yourself as a big director, and you don't pee to take pictures of yourself, and even the first work has not yet come out and you are boastful, it is really a little too good for yourself.
