Chapter 134: Finalizing the Type
"Time is pressing!"
Seeing Chen Fengxiao board the plane leaving Yanjing, the bright smile on Chu Shi's face instantly dissipated, and was replaced by a dignified look. \.\
Three hours ago, Chen Fengxiao agreed and handed over the golden file of Mango Terrace to Chu Shi, and then the two discussed specific matters over and over again while eating.
Regarding the situation of Mango Terrace, Chen Fengxiao already understood it clearly, and he didn't need to call to inquire at all, and he could give Chu Shi an exact answer.
At present, the high-quality TV dramas that have signed the agreement will continue to be broadcast, and it will not affect the ratings of Mango Channel in a short period of time -- this is the characteristic of Huaxia's 'separation of production and broadcasting'.
In order to avoid investment failure, a TV series will only shoot two or three episodes of the finished product, and whether to shoot 1o episodes or 1oo episodes depends entirely on the ratings.
With high ratings and making money, it is natural to shoot a few more episodes, and vice versa, although it can better avoid risks, it is easy to be affected by the market, which makes the quality of the work deteriorate, and it is more likely to have accidents due to some other factors.
Such as the birth, old age, sickness and death of actors, weather changes, etc.
However, the separation of production and broadcasting, which is prevalent in China, basically does not invest in TV dramas and variety shows, but chooses to hand over all the production work to entertainment companies, and a few buyouts and most of them sign advertising sharing contracts.
Before the official broadcast, the entertainment company has already produced all the episodes, and the higher the ratings after the broadcast, the higher the share of advertising fees, but if the results are not good. The TV station directly cut the work in half, and the follow-up episodes that have not yet been broadcast. It was all smashed in the hands of entertainment companies.
There is no increased risk, and the danger of interrupting an episode of a production due to an accident is avoided. For TV stations, there is no harm in benefiting and harmless, which is also a manifestation of the fact that private individuals cannot host TV stations and bully customers, but in a violent industry like TV drama production, even if the entertainment company is hugely risky, there are countless people rushing in one after another, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the dead, and all of them are linked to interests.
It is precisely this kind of system that allows Mango Station to have a not long respite and Chu Shi has such an opportunity.
"Time ......"
Flip through the calendar on your phone. Chu Shi calculated the time in his heart, "After the first month of 2oo9, the popular prime-time TV series on Mango Channel will end, and the next prime-time TV series will be vacant......"
According to Chen Fengxiao, although I am not completely sure, in the next half a year, Mango Channel will fall into the embarrassment of having no TV series to broadcast, and it will probably take three high-quality works to fill the gap in prime time. Chen Fengxiao also gave Chu Shi quite a huge degree of freedom.
Three vacant prime times, Chu Shi deliberately chose any time period to broadcast the TV series made by himself, and Chu Shi almost did not hesitate. The first vacant position was chosen on March 8.
The time gap is not long, but if the first vacancy is arranged for a bad movie. The basic ratings of Mango Channel have declined, and it is in the area of 'broadcast platform'. Chu Shi will go from the original advantage to a disadvantage in an instant!
Chen Fengxiao also supported Chu Shi's choice.
Chu Shi occupied the first vacancy. also won Chen Fengxiao half a year's time, maybe during this time, he will be able to contact the second and third excellent works!
"In terms of time, there are only more than three months left, and the preliminary preparations will take two months, it seems that I am busy for the next period of time!"
On the way home, Chu Shi ignored the driver's accosting, closed his eyes and recuperated, and carefully planned every step in his heart.
In three months, even if there is divine help, it is impossible to complete all the work of a TV series from preparation to completion, fortunately, Chen Fengxiao also understands Chu Shi, and believes that he has gambled on the future and all his net worth, and has also given himself considerable support.
Chen Fengxiao promised to give Chu Shi the right to 'broadcast while filming', as long as two episodes of the TV show were produced in advance for review and editing, which also made Chu Shi much easier, two months of preparation, one month of shooting, it is not difficult to make and edit two or three episodes, which is also the main reason why Chu Shi chose to take over the prime time of Mango TV on March 8.
"I have more than 60 million cash on hand, at least enough in the early stage, and when the movie "Where Are You Going, Dad" and "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" are divided, even if it is a huge investment, I am not afraid at all! In terms of the broadcast platform, with Chen Fengxiao's help, there is no need to worry too much, Sun Jiande said that he was sick, today's Mango Channel, Chen Fengxiao's words, it still works, even if someone has a greater voice than him, he will never come out at this time, there are still a few people with such courage! ”
"Secondly, the problems of actors and teams, with the resources at hand, it is not difficult to do, and there are even many options, there is no need to rush, the most important thing now is to determine the type and script of the TV series!"
Constantly thinking in his heart, Chu Shi also had a general direction.
"After deciding on the type of TV series and the script, I can improve the script while looking for actors and production teams...... Don't be in a hurry! ”
It seems that he is closing his eyes to recuperate, but Chu Shi's heart is constantly searching for the deepest memories in his mind, and he has turned over the countless works he has seen in his previous life.
There are countless excellent works, but 99% of the works cannot be perfectly restored with modern shooting techniques, and even if they are shot, they cannot reach the most perfect state in Chu Shi's heart.
It's like a 3D movie, under the premise of no technology, pretending to be some clumsy puppet props, maybe with an excellent story, attract people to watch, but you, who have seen the original, are you willing to spoil such an excellent work?
A masterpiece "Avatar", the protagonist has become a little blue man covered in paint, such a ruin of the original work, Chu Shi will not do it anyway.
As much as possible, I will select some of today's techniques and techniques to shoot TV series.
"There are not many types of Chinese TV dramas, there are many anti-Japanese dramas, costume dramas, and modern dramas, so naturally you have to choose from them!"
"Most of the investment in costume dramas is not small. The requirements for professional abilities are also relatively high, whether it is costumes, props, or shooting locations. It's a bit difficult for me, and the anti-Japanese drama is booming. But the question is...... In the previous life, Huaxia defeated the island country, and the anti-Japanese resistance has long become history, even I haven't seen a few films, so how can I write such a script? Therefore, it is still the most reliable urban drama! ”
Even if his heart is full of confidence, it is by no means the same as arrogance, Chu Shi can very clearly understand his strengths and weaknesses and analyze them.
Back home. Chu Shi locked himself in the room, wrote one name after another on a blank piece of paper, and made a tangled choice.
In Chu Shi's mind, there will only be three or five excellent variety shows in the next five years, and he is very easy to choose, and he makes a decision after weighing the pros and cons, but the number of excellent TV dramas is obviously far greater than variety shows. Rao is a decisive Chu Shi, and he also hesitated.
"First of all, I plan to star in this work myself, in the choice of the age of the actor. It's best not to be too big, not over 3o years old, like a family drama, a TV series about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fighting wits and courage. None of them work for me, you can pass! ”
Thought to myself. With a stroke of his pen, Chu Shi removed all the names on the white paper.
"I'm good-looking. It should be a good choice to shoot a youth idol drama, but the problem is ...... Other handsome and handsome young actors will like it, but I am not just an idol, I am also a powerful person with outstanding acting skills, and rewarding the label of 'idol faction' in advance is not conducive to the exhibition of my actor's career, the same pass! ”
With another stroke of the pen, a string of names was crossed out.
"Workplace stories, without mentioning him, requires the screenwriter to have specific professional knowledge in the script, which is not difficult for me, but whether it is writing the script or letting the actors find the feeling, it is a troublesome thing, not suitable for too much hurry, the same pass!"
"A drama with a female theme? Not to mention, you can't let me dress up as a man, right? ”
"A cop movie? That requires the actor to have a certain amount of experience in action scenes, and the actor's acting skills are also required, so I'm afraid it's difficult for me to get it together in a short period of time, and I can't do it......"
Urban drama is just a general term, which can be described as all-encompassing.
From the characters in the main character drama alone, countless types can be derived, such as policemen, journalists, celebrities, undercover agents, office clerks, housewives, and so on.
The main direction of the story is family, love, and the workplace, which are also very varied.
There are even many urban dramas in today's entertainment industry that have not been excavated, but they have also been listed by Chu Shi, with a wide variety of types, which makes people feel dizzy.
Finally, after more than three hours of busyness, the five pages of white paper were full of large and small crosses, and only the central position was left, a few names.
"Smack!"
Suddenly, the tired look in Chu Shi's eyes dissipated, and he slapped the table violently, shaking a piece of waste paper on the table and not realizing it, completely immersed in his own joy, "It's decided!" Just shoot a wealthy fashion drama! ”
The three words fashion drama can attract countless young men and women, and if you add a prefix of 'wealthy' in front of the fashion drama, it is full of luxury and gorgeous flavor.
This is definitely the best choice for Chu Shi, who has 'nothing, just money' at this moment!
In other TV dramas, blindly throwing money may not be able to attract the audience's attention, but as long as you are willing to spend money, even if the story is poor, it can attract a large number of audiences.
If he has a huge investment and an extremely excellent story, Chu Shi believes that he will definitely be able to drive the boom of 'wealthy fashion dramas'.
"The fire is very hot, just around the corner!"

Although it's past zero o'clock, for Xiaoxiao, as long as you don't sleep, it's not a day, hehe. (To be continued!)
