Chapter 772: Web Series
"Yes. Âąďź.â
Benjamin nodded appreciatively, "Zhang Ning, you are really smart." These film and television dramas may not be able to be broadcast in reality, but on the Internet, the current review is relatively relaxed, and you can help us broadcast these film and television dramas. As for cooperation, hehe, it's completely up to you. Whether it's a buyout of the copyright, or a share, you can ...... I don't care. â
"That's a good idea."
Zhang Ning nodded secretly.
This Benjamin is very business-minded.
In reality, you can't go public, so change your way of thinking and put him on the Internet, isn't it?
Although the price of online broadcasting cannot be higher than in reality, or even relatively low, it is good to recover some of the costs more or less. Besides, so many unplayable film and television dramas are rotten in my hands every year, and it hurts to watch it.
"By the way, Benjamin, can I see what kind of film and television works you have?"
Zhang Ning didn't agree so quickly, although, he thought the idea was good.
"You also know that on the Internet platform, not all types of film and television dramas are suitable for netizens to watch."
"Of course, I have a copy of the film and television drama here, you can take a look."
Benjamin had already prepared and handed Zhang Ning a piece of information.
Zhang Ning flipped it, but there was some frowning.
Some of the film and television works in the materials have no bright spots.
If such a work is broadcast on the Internet, will anyone watch it?
Probably feeling Zhang Ning's dissatisfaction, Benjamin said, "Heh, Zhang Ning, although for some film and television works currently on the market, these works are not particularly perfect. However, there are also a few that are quite good, but they are not reviewed because of the genre. It's a try anyway, don't you think? â
However, Zhang Ning does not think so.
In later generations, businesses such as the premiere of film and television dramas on video websites have also been launched.
Moreover, this will become a business that video websites strive to fight for in the future.
Zhang Ning has always done it, that is, if you don't do it, you won't do it, and if you want to do it, you have to be the first.
If this attempt doesn't hit the ground running, I believe some other video sites will follow suit.
When the time comes, I will not have any advantage in creating the first one.
This is not the result that Zhang Ning wants.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ning said, "Benjamin, I suddenly have a better idea. â
"Oh, yes, Zhang Ning, let's talk, let's talk."
"As I just said, Internet platforms have the characteristics of Internet platforms, and users of Internet platforms also have special needs for some video programs. Ordinary film and television dramas may not be of interest to these users. I have a few scripts in my hand, and I want your Jenedi Film and Television Company to help us shoot them, what do you think? â
"Of course, as for the release, you don't need to think about it, we can give you a satisfactory shooting fee."
"Zhang Ning, your idea is very groundbreaking."
As soon as he heard the idea, Benjamin became intrigued.
It's just made for them.
You must know that now there are actors leaving in his Jenidi Film and Television Company, which is nothing more than the company's business has shrunk significantly recently, and many actors do not have enough scenes to start filming. At this time, Zhang Ning actually said that they would let them make film and television dramas for him. Moreover, a certain amount of remuneration will be given, which is simply a charcoal in the snow.
However, Benjamin said directly, "Zhang Ning, of course I'm very satisfied with your plan. You have to know, though. The cost of filming a film and television drama is very high, and if you just want to put such a work on a video website and not on a TV station, you may not be able to recover the cost. â
"Don't worry, I have faith in my scripts. Perhaps, after the broadcast of our video website is popular, these traditional TV stations, they will also come to buy our copyright. â
"Forehead ......"
Benjamin couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that Zhang Ning doesn't understand film and television.
TV stations have always been in a strong position, and they lack everything, that is, there is no shortage of film and television dramas.
I don't know how many film and television companies want these TV stations to buy their copyrights.
It's your turn to start shooting some of the works on the Internet.
"All I can say is that the probability of your idea coming true is very low."
"Well, no matter what, I'm looking forward to this business. By the way, I'll send you the scripts of a few works when I get back. â
"In that case, we have a good time working together."
Seeing that Zhang Ning didn't care, Benjamin didn't say anything more.
Anyway, this time to eat, it's worth it.
Although it didn't solve the works that were stored in the zĂ i warehouse, those were not worth much in the first place.
However, Zhang Ning's cooperation with them to customize film and television works has solved the current crisis of their company.
At the very least, with Zhang Ning's cooperation, some of the stars they signed up with are not afraid of not working.
âŚâŚ
After returning from Benjamin's, Zhang Ning began to prepare the script.
This idea comes from the web drama of the video website of later generations.
The so-called online dramas are the film and television dramas made by these video websites that are suitable for broadcasting on the Internet.
Generally speaking, the investment cost of such online dramas is relatively low, and the quality is not high, and the content of each episode is mostly about 20 minutes. But because it is more creative, and because the national review is relatively weak, you can start filming works of various genres. His appearance immediately won the love of the market and became a market for video websites to compete in later generations.
However, Zhang Ning's idea is that he doesn't want to learn what kind of rough and rotten online drama.
Although the name is still an online drama, Zhang Ning also wants to create a classic, even, film and television drama that surpasses the reality broadcast.
Jailbreak.
This is the script of the first web series written by Zhang Ning.
I believe that many people are no strangers to this work, this TV series that has created a myth of ratings at home and abroad.
Every renewal he made in later generations was the focus of attention.
And, in later generations, for a long time, prison escape has become synonymous with American dramas.
This can also be seen from this, how classic the work of prison break should be.
Speaking of which, though, jailbreak is a classic.
In addition to the prison escape script itself, there is also the protagonist of the prison break, Miller, an extras who has been running for more than ten years, he perfectly brings out the calmness, perseverance, and expression of the protagonist to the fullest. This also makes Miller, although an American actor, have countless fan appeal around the world after his prison break.
For this reason, while Zhang Ning was writing the script, he also specially hooked out the protagonist Miller.
There are also some directors with memories, and if he can, Zhang Ning wants them to reappear in the prison break system.
Keeping the original flavor is the best look.
Of course, Zhang Ning wants to shoot more than just one prison break.
In addition to escaping from prison, Zhang Ning also chose a "The Walking Dead." â
This work has the apocalyptic genre of later online novels, and his appearance also fascinated thousands of fans.
As the synopsis of the play says, you can imagine that when you wake up, you will not be faced with your friends, your relatives, but hordes of zombies.
In addition, the Big Bang Theory is also in Zhang Ning's plan.
A few days later, Zhang Ning sent these scripts to Benjamin.
Seeing these scripts, Benjamin opened his mouth wide and said in surprise, "Oh my God, Zhang Ning, where did you get these scripts." God, even if it hasn't been filmed yet, I feel that these works are probably going to be popular. â
"Oh, I have some regrets now, I shouldn't have just shot you."
Benjamin jokingly said, "If only I had some of the copyright." â
"Haha, okay, or you can join in."
Zhang Ning also replied with a smile.
"Hehe, forget it, I, Benjamin, have always been trustworthy in business, and I won't change my mind when I said it before. However, in the future, the two of us can cooperate in all aspects. â
"Of course, no problem, but let's finish filming these works first."
"Okay."
"By the way, I have specially selected a few actors for these scripts, and I hope that they can participate in them."
"Okay, I'll see, I'll try to pull them together. Of course, Zhang, if they are really not available, or, if they don't want to, I can't do it. â
"Of course, I know."
"Okay, let's do it first, it's a $1 million deposit."
Zhang Ning took out a check and put it on the table.
"No work, no other problems, I'll go back first."
"Of course no problem, let's go, I'll send you off."
Benjamin happily accepted Zhang Ning's deposit of $1 million and sent Zhang Ning to the door with a smile.
"By the way, I almost forgot, I haven't asked you yet, who is the screenwriter of these works, it's very good."
The American film and television industry has always attached great importance to screenwriters.
They have always felt that the most important thing for a good movie is to have a good screenwriter.
Because movies are created by screenwriters, screenwriters have almost the same status as directors in the United States.
Even, in many cases, the status of the screenwriter is higher than that of the director.
It can almost be said that if a certain film and television company has a screenwriter with a bull fork, he can mix it up.
It's just a pity that there are a lot of people in the American film and television industry who want to act and sing, but there are very few screenwriters.
Not to mention, those well-known screenwriters.
At this moment, seeing Zhang Ning come up with three such genius scripts, Benjamin was very excited.
If you can get through Zhang Ning's hand and win over this screenwriter, it doesn't take too much, as long as they write two or three works of this level for their company every year, why should they be in trouble with Jedini Film and Television Company.
"Oh, the screenwriter you asked."
Zhang Ning smiled, "Benjamin, didn't you see that the screenwriter's name on it is written about Zhang Ning?" â
"No, it won't."
Benjamin really didn't look at this in detail.
Isn't this guy a producer?
He's a screenwriter?
However, when the name of the screenwriter on it was indeed written Zhang Ning, Benjamin was surprised and couldn't close his mouth.
"Oh my God, Zhang Ning, you mean, you wrote the script."
"yes."
"No, no, Zhang Ning, I want to confirm again, these three scripts were really completed by you alone."
"Of course I did it alone, do you think, it's a teamwork?"
"But...... You're not in the Internet business. â
"Who told you that if you are engaged in the Internet, you can't write scripts?"
"That's right."
Benjamin rubbed his head, but still felt shocked.
It's just that when he turned around again, Zhang Ning had already got into the car.
"Hey, Zhang Ning, I haven't finished my words yet, do you have time to help us write a script one day."
"Well, we'll talk about it then."
Zhang Ning waved his hand outside the car and left.
