Chapter 77: Turmoil

The solicitation order for the "King of Short Films" of Yiku Video Screen Network was issued a few months ago, and the slogan aims to go out of Chinese characteristics - obviously the success of "Never Expected" has made some domestic vested interests red.

A miniseries earns up to 4 online. 500 million, which is not common in general film and television serialization, such as the popular Korean TV series "Blue Life and Death Love" last year, in the serialization of Yiku.com, the VIP fee can only exceed 100 million.

There is a gap between comparisons, the popularity of "Never Expected" and the huge benefits it brings have made Huang Xiangqian, president of Yiku.com, excited, coupled with the trend of public opinion, Mr. Huang resolutely issued a solicitation order for the "King of Short Films", sponsored by two multinational companies, Nokoya and Meilai.

"The King of Short Films" is broadcast weekly on the Yiku Chinese network exclusively at 8 p.m. every Sunday, each episode is about 120 minutes, for three months, and the championship prize is as high as 80 million yuan!

In addition to Zhang Heng, who is known as the "godfather of miniseries", there are also famous film and television director Feng Xiaogang, famous film and television actor Zhang Kaili, and well-known Xiangjiang actor Huang Baiming participated in the recording, and were listed as the four major judges.

After Zhang Heng filmed "Never Expected" and achieved great success, he received an invitation from Yiku.com.

The labor fee of 100,000 issues is already very high in the outside world, but for Zhang Heng today, it is not very much, but no matter how small the mosquito meat is, it is also meat, and Zhang Heng is still looking forward to being able to publicize "People in the Rivers and Lakes" in this show.

Of course, Zhang Heng has another expectation.

Maybe you can also use this competition to get talent in directing?

As soon as "People in the Rivers and Lakes" was completed, Zhang Heng received repeated urging from Yiku.com, and rushed to the rehearsal non-stop.

When Zhang Heng came to Haidian District of Yanjing with a backpack and disguise, there were already several staff members waiting, and after following the staff into the Sinosteel Building of Yiku headquarters, Zhang Heng went straight to the studio on the 12th floor.

Huang Xiangqian is a middle-aged man with slightly dark skin and full of energy, as the president of Yiku.com, his experience is not very harsh, and like KK Group, he is a generation that took risks in the Internet bubble in the nineties and rose rapidly.

Today, the registered users of Yiku.com have reached 200 million, and the average number of online users is about 8 million.

Seeing Zhang Heng's appearance of sunglasses, a mask, and a cap, Huang Xiangqian couldn't help but smile and shook hands with Zhang Heng, "I'm sorry for you, I rushed to record at this moment on the cusp of public opinion!" ”

Zhang Heng took off his glasses and mouth, and smiled wryly, knowing that what Mr. Huang was talking about was the online public opinion brought about by the fierce propaganda offensive of "People in Jianghu", and many people forced the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television to restrict the broadcast of "People in Jianghu", but fortunately, Zhang Heng had already received the final notice before he came.

Huaxia's support for the entertainment industry is not trivial, and it seems that no matter how bad a movie is, as long as it is not ******, it can be broadcast.

But as Zhang Heng expected, "People in Jianghu" was designated as an R-rated movie because of a lot of swear words and inappropriate content for children, and it was designated as a person under 17 years old, and it could only be watched with the company of his parents.

The negative remarks on the Internet are still ongoing, and Zhang Heng was somewhat affected, laughing at himself: "This is called professionalism." ”

Huang Xiangqian was stunned, then laughed, and walked into the studio with Zhang Heng.

The studio is a 100-meter open space, and in addition to the auditorium that can accommodate 500 people, there are also large widescreen monitors embedded in the walls of the studio to broadcast the contestants' works.

Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Kaili, and Huang Baiming were already waiting here early, and when they saw Huang Xiangqian leading a young man in, several people stepped forward and greeted them politely.

"I have admired the daimyo for a long time!" Zhang Kaili looked Zhang Heng up and down with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and said in a slurp: "Zhang Ailing has a saying, you should become famous as soon as possible!" I used to think that this was a harmful sentence, but now that I see you, I know the correctness of this sentence, Director Zhang, I am looking forward to cooperating with you! ”

Zhang Heng heard that there was something in the other party's words, now Zhang Kaili is nearly forty years old, but she is well maintained, and she still looks like she is about thirty years old, thinking of Zhang Kaili's resume, Zhang Heng smiled: "I really want to cooperate with Sister Kaili, there is a script that has been sold to Yinggu Film and Television, I can recommend Sister Kaili to you for casting." ”

"Female number one?" Zhang Kaili is happy, Yinggu Film and Television is a large company, and most of the films and television produced are high-quality.

Since becoming an instant hit with the TV series "Desire" in the 90s, Zhang Kaili has really enjoyed the privilege of being a popular star for several years, but now ten years have passed, but there is no work that can really be done.

And Zhang Heng is one of the most popular insiders in the recent period, although he has been sung down in the past two days, but if "People in the Rivers and Lakes" is a great success, Zhang Heng's road to directing will inevitably be smoother.

"Female number two!"

Zhang Heng thought for a while, and said, "The scene is quite sufficient!" ”

Zhang Kaili nodded, her face showing joy.

"Teacher Kaili is really sick and indiscriminately admitted to the doctor, and now Zhang Heng's new drama has been bombarded by the outside world, and he is already a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself. You dare to go to him to film, it's really ......" On the side, Feng Xiaogang glanced at Zhang Heng, revealing a mouthful of smoky teeth, and said: "Of course, I am a person who loves things and does not treat people." ”

Zhang Kaili pursed her lips, a little dissatisfied with Feng Xiaogang's remarks.

Zhang Heng smiled indifferently, but the atmosphere on the scene changed significantly.

Huang Baiming on the side didn't speak, he is a native of Xiangjiang, although he is famous in the mainland, but in terms of influence, he is obviously not as good as the five major directors, and the emerging director Zhang Heng has a strong momentum in the mainland Internet industry, even if he himself controls a film and television company, and the scale is not small, but he is a dragon after all, and he can't overpower Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Heng, the two local snakes.

When the principal Huang Xiangqian saw this scene, he smiled on the side and did not speak.

Only by judging the internal bars can the drama of the whole show be increased and the observability sublimated.

This is an excellent selling point, and Mr. Huang is naturally happy to do it.

Next, the choreographer and director team of the "King of Short Films" began to explain the rules of the competition to the four judges.

Since he is known as the king of short films, he is naturally the king of short films.

The rules of the competition are very simple, after watching the short films shot by each contestant, the judges will give them "tong guò" or "not tong guò" according to their respective professional vision!

In front of the four judges, there will be a review table, on which there are two buttons in addition to the microphone necessary for the judges, one red and one green, green for the pass, and red for the non-pass.

The whole program implements an elimination system, and a commissioner will first select the works that are worth watching or controversial from the audition, and then the judges will judge.

If three judges press the green light, it means that the contestant has successfully advanced, and if two judges press the red light, it means that the promotion has failed.

The reason is very simple, after listening to the director's narration, Zhang Heng squinted his eyes slightly, thoughtful.

Today's development of the Chinese entertainment industry is gradually rising, but in my impression, the popular "Super Girl", "Happy Boy" and "Avenue of Stars" and other civilian reality show selections in the previous life did not appear, and even the more popular programs such as "The Voice of China" and "I Am a Singer" did not appear.

Although Zhang Hengzhi is not in music, he is still happy to do things that can promote the development of the music world, and can also make a huge amount of profits.

I remember that in my previous life, the advertising naming fee of "The Voice of China" was as high as hundreds of millions of yuan, which set off a wave of viewing across the country, and its influence was unprecedentedly huge.

Although Nirvana Film and Television aims to be in the film industry, the preparation of the periphery is also progressing step by step, and there is an independent department in terms of music production.

Since he had moved his mind, Zhang Heng kept the appearance of the talent show in mind and put it on the company's agenda.

After listening carefully to the rules of the program recording and conducting several rehearsals, everyone said goodbye.

Zhang Heng returned to the hotel arranged by Yiku.com, opened his notebook, and made all kinds of ideas such as "The Voice of Huaxia" that he had thought of before, and sent them to Ye Hui, the general manager.

Soon after, Ye Hui, who was in Yanhai Company, urgently convened a company meeting to have a heated discussion on the ideas in the "Voice of China" email sent by Zhang Heng.

And Zhang Heng, who was in Yanjing, after dealing with official business, opened the singularity Chinese network and began to struggle to code words.

Today's "Breaking the Sky" has been serialized for more than 3 million words, during which in order to compete for the ranking of the monthly ticket list, "Breaking the Sky" has violently erupted dozens of chapters during the serialization period, beating the "Good Death" with sugar and three spoons.

Today, three months have passed since "Breaking the Sky" was uploaded in October last year and put on the shelves in mid-November, and Zhang Heng has also achieved three consecutive championships on the monthly ticket list!

April is approaching, and the number of monthly votes at the end of March is more than 1,000 votes ahead of the second place!

For a while, the story of Dick Si's turnaround spread, and all kinds of divorces were withdrawn
