"What's so good about this novel? There are a lot of historical mistakes, the heroine is completely a Mary Sue, the male protagonist is basically a brain-dead, as a time-traveler, doesn't he know that Germany will be defeated in the end? It was simply ...... to join the war without hesitation" The person who said this frowned vigorously, "Shen Zhenghui was completely carried away by his own fame, right?" is actually ready to invest in filming this kind of TV series, and if it is filmed according to this scene, the cost will not be smaller than "Red Dawn", right? ”

Mr. Li, who is also an industry insider in the film and television industry and is also a small boss, did not gain echo and sympathy from Mr. Zhang, who is the same identity who listened to his complaints. The other party also muttered to himself, "The filming locations are in Germany, Poland and France," he cupped his forehead, "I can't imagine that one day a Chinese TV series can be filmed overseas in such style." ”

"It's not unusual to shoot overseas!" Boss Li was a little annoyed, "How can he earn it back by spending money like this?" He continues to insist on his opinion, "What he is making now is not a movie, nor is it shown on TV, but on the Internet!" On the web! Gratuitous! ”

"Lao Li!" Boss Zhang had a headache, "You should watch the news more," he sighed, "He made money in the last TV series "Red Dawn". ”

"Earned money?" Boss Li looked incredulous, "Can he make money by putting it online for free?" ”

"You just can't keep up with the times," Boss Zhang shook his head, "He shows it to netizens for free on the Internet, but the website has to pay for his copyright." Then the website will place ads, and the higher the click-through rate, the more advertising fees will be earned. ”

Boss Li was a little unconvinced, "I've heard of it, but I don't think the advertising cost can be so high." How much did he spend on his last TV series? This time I have to go to Europe to shoot, how high the cost is! ”

"You don't know." Boss Zhang said, "He took advantage of the opportunity of this TV series to be released on his own website, and successfully made a name for himself as a video website, and then the website began to transform into a live broadcast of online TV, which is equivalent to establishing a TV station." Or a worldwide TV station, and then financing, and then going public, sit down like this, spend hundreds of millions to shoot TV series, and the income from website financing is tens of billions, such a means of making money, you can't use him as an ordinary director to watch it at all! ”

Boss Li was really a little dumbfounded, "Is this true?" ”

"So you don't watch financial news? Analysis by The Economist. Domestic financial news newspapers and magazines have reprinted and commented, "Boss Zhang pouted," as soon as the name of the TV series he wanted to shoot came out, the script was immediately analyzed by experts," Boss Zhang raised his momentum, "Experts analyzed why he chose the theme of World War II and why he chose this script, and it has been said very thoroughly." This guy wants to take advantage of this shareholder wind to amplify the influence of his website to a greater extent. The more famous the website, the more money it will make in the financing and listing circle, so you don't have to look at how much it costs to invest in making a TV series, what is this little money, and people will get it back from the Internet in minutes. ”

Boss Li was still a little uncomfortable with this new way of collecting money, so Boss Zhang continued to talk to him. "Tell me, these domestic video sites, Youku and Tudou, are listed in the United States, and their market value can reach about one billion US dollars. The same foreign website, YouTube, is estimated to have a market value of tens of billions of dollars, and now, Shen Zhenghui uses this way to promote his website," he paused, "When he goes public, isn't it also a market value of tens of billions of dollars?" ”

Boss Li had a terrifying expression, "So, isn't he the only one in the entertainment industry?" ”

"You're not talking about him being a monopoly right now." Boss Zhang analyzed, "But now BAT has also reflected, Penguin has stepped up its efforts to engage in its own penguin videos, Ahri has invested in Youku, and has invested in Tudou, and Baidu is also in contact with several video websites, but it is not as strong as Director Shen's strong capital and inherent advantages." After speaking, he shrugged his shoulders, "You and I can't reach the level at all, you might as well think about how to recommend your own actors, at least in front of others!" ”

"Think about a fart!" Boss Li burst into a foul mouth, "I've read that book, how many Chinese characters are there throughout?" is just a heroine, and the inside information has long been decided. ”

"Oh, who is it?"

"said that she was an actress who played in "Magic Apprentice", Chen Wei."

"There are so many big names in China, how can he use such a little girl," is very impressed by Boss Chen Wei Zhang, although she leaked her face in "Magic Apprentice", but until now she is still a second-tier actress, she is not very active in the domestic film and television industry, but she often brushes her presence in neighboring Japan.

"That girl is a contracted actor of Kasuga Pictures," Boss Li pouted, "and she is twenty-six or seventeen years old." ”

"Sure enough, I still want to praise my own people," Boss Zhang sighed, "How is this girl?" ”

A complicated expression flashed on Boss Li's face, he has been immersed in this industry for a long time, and he still has some well-informed vision, "She takes the route of the acting school," he pouted, and muttered a little, "Didn't Shen Zhenghui think about the ratings?" ”

"The name Shen Zhenghui is ratings." Boss Zhang said.

……

Shen Zhenghui didn't know that there were two insiders discussing him somewhere in China, but even if he knew, what if he did? Choosing "War 1938", which is a bit of a Mary Sue, and at the same time cannot satisfy the idea of changing history in the military house, Shen Zhenghui naturally has his own considerations. In general, no matter how you choose the script, it will not satisfy everyone, so sometimes it is better to let your own temperament come. Shen Zhenghui also had several considerations for choosing such a script: 1, this script does not involve domestic parts; 2. Many details of this script are very touching, and the political correctness is very good, although the overall situation and many historical details still need to be revised, judging from many details, this script is quite vicious and ridicules all countries, and it is really touching to shoot these small details in the name of history; 3. Although this is a time-traveling script, for this kind of Mary Sue script, the historical background is the backdrop for falling in love. Vigorous history produces mellow love, so no matter how readers criticize the novel script itself, Shen Zhenghui is full of confidence in the appeal of this TV series. Since "Red Dawn" unexpectedly captured the attention of Western audiences, there is no reason why this serious World War II love story set in a Western setting should not appeal to Western audiences. By the way, Internet network TV can also take advantage of this shareholder wind. Unleash its power even further.

At present, the online platform invested by Shen Zhenghui, Fukuda Mitsumi and Nick Anderson is trying to improve itself, strengthen capital operation, carry out various mergers and acquisitions, and increase its service content and user viscosity. Although other websites such as YouTube, Tudou, Youku and other similar websites have reacted and started to deal with it themselves, in front of Shen Zhenghui, a humanoid cheater, they are one trick and are hesitant in the face of the risk of investing heavily in self-made TV series. After all, they don't have the world's number one director and Pandora format to cover it up. However, the major companies involved have significantly increased their efforts to pan for gold on the Internet, and BAT has confidently started a new round of burning money in the online literature industry.

"So this time, we are shooting directly in foreign countries such as Poland, Germany, and France?" Miyamoto, who served as Shen Zhenghui's assistant director, couldn't help frowning, "Director." IMHO, haven't you ever thought about the cost? Although I know we can't afford to pay for it, isn't it the director's instinct to save as much as possible? Especially with such a huge cost, I personally think that shooting in the studio is enough, and the background can be completely handed over to post-production, and the actors are summoned into the studio, which is much cheaper than going to the gorgeous location location. ”

Shen Zhenghui cupped his forehead, "Miyamoto." Do you know why you have ups and downs and can't always succeed steadily? ”

"Hi. Please advise. Miyamoto immediately straightened up.

"Sit down," Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "your thinking is too narrow, of course, this is a common problem of you Japanese." Shen Zhenghui sighed, "Sometimes you are the director. The way of thinking has been too limited. ”

"But you have to be careful in everything you do......"

"This common problem is reflected in your work, in addition to the delicacy of the details and the meticulousness of the production, it often gives the impression that the theme is too detailed and the story is not grand enough." Shen Zhenghui interrupted him, "Your work has a sufficient level of production. The right bad taste, sharp complaints, battles, and scenes are excellent, but the disadvantage is that they are not grand enough, lack of vision and vision, and are often confined to a corner. ”

Miyamoto opened his mouth.

"It's enough to be a national director in Japan, but if you want to take it a step further, you need to be more open-minded and think from the perspective of the world."

"Do you think about it from the perspective of the world?" Miyamoto pondered, "But just like that, I have to spend money to shoot the real scene, and I still don't think it's necessary at all?" ”

Shen Zhenghui rolled his eyes, "Miyamoto, this is a step for us to promote to the world," Shen Zhenghui pursed his lips, "We want to shoot a World War II-themed TV series, the scene is the entire World War II countries and regions involved, the protagonist is running around, experiencing the cruelty of war with the people of various countries, and then we finished filming in a small studio, what do you think others will think when this news spreads?" ”

Miyamoto opened his mouth, "...... They will be shocked when they see the TV series that has taken shape. ”

"You're wrong, I'm not trying to shock them," Shen Zhenghui said, "at least not the kind of shock you think, but it should be like this, they dig out memories from the movie, and then overlap these memories with their own reality, I want this kind of shock, as if history and reality really overlap, our audience feels the present, and then they feel the past, and their historical emotions and realistic emotions are mixed together, and there is some kind of resonance." That's what I want. ”

Miyamoto still looked puzzled, "Now technically speaking, it is not difficult to be completely consistent with the real scene!" ”

"Oh, Miyamoto, you can't think of yourself entirely as a director, a technology implementer." Shen Zhenghui covered his head, leaned back, and then sat up straight again, "You have to think of yourself as God," he opened his palm, "We want to bring our audience to history in a real way, so that they can be immersed in World War II with the protagonist." ”

Miyamoto swallowed hard.

"It's not what the director wants to shoot, the second is what history is like, we have to make it recreate it perfectly, which is not mixed with my will, to do this," Shen Zhenghui smiled, "It is necessary to let all kinds of details hint at the audience and make them psychologically acceptable." ”

"Are you talking about methodism?"

"You can understand it this way," Shen Zhenghui licked his lips, "From the very beginning of the preparation for the filming of this TV series, I will take my assistant director - you, my other assistant directors, cinematographers, makeup, lighting and other staff, and our actors, as well as future audiences, through something ritual--in your opinion, it is a live-action shooting that truly travels through history, arrives at the scene told in the script, and witnesses the whole process of the story happening in person." Shen Zhenghui raised his hand, "We have to be calm enough, but our calmness is to stimulate the emotions of the audience later, so that they feel that all this is true, not the superb performance of the actors, it is not a performance at all, but a reproduction of history." The wheel of history turns irresistibly, leaving behind the painful traces of the development of human society, which they feel by this cruelty, because what they see is true. It is not the director's careful arrangement and the reproduction of the director's ideas, but the ideas of human beings are no match for the wheel of history. The right path in the world is the vicissitudes of life, do you understand this feeling? That's ......what we're looking for in this TV series."

Miyamoto's face showed a divine touch, and he nodded vigorously, "I...... Understood, Shen Jun. His tone was rather heavy, "I've been complacent about what I've accomplished, and now it seems that I'm very, very far away from you." He bowed vigorously, "I'll go to work according to your request." ”

When Miyamoto walked out of the office, Shen Zhenghui seemed to come back to his senses, "Damn, this guy really believes it?" (To be continued......)
