"Soldier Assault" is a pure men's drama, but the difficulty of casting is much more difficult than that of youth idol dramas.

This requires each actor to have their own style, and to show the personality tension of each character, which can make the film look good.

"Mr. Lan, "Erna. Assault is really good, I think it shouldn't be limited to a stage play, I hope to make it into a TV series, so that more audiences can enjoy Mr. Lan's work. Wu Tian said with a smile.

Seriously, the novel of "Soldier Assault" was actually published after the TV series was broadcast, and originally this novel was based on the author's original creation of "Erna. Assault" and "Soldier" are adapted, which means that the "excuse" that Wu Tian found at the beginning was not suitable, and he had never seen the original work at all.

However, this can also be explained by the fact that Wu Tian saw the drama and the novel "Soldier", anyway, no one could have imagined that Wu Tian knew the real reason for the existence of the original work.

Anyway, after some exploration, the authors of these two works were finally found, and they invited people to the Tianzheng Film and Television Headquarters, and in Liu Xinyu's reception room, Wu Tian finally met the author himself.

"Mr. Wu has a good reputation, hehe," Mr. Lan said with a smile, "Thank you very much for watching this work, if Mr. Wu really plans to shoot it into a TV series, of course I welcome it." But I don't know what Mr. Wu's shooting plan is? ”

"Hehe, Mr. Lan is worried about the production level, right?" Wu Tian smiled, "Hmm." First of all, I would like to apologize to Mr. Lan. Although today I invite you to come to Tianzheng Film and Television. However, it was not Tianzheng who invested in the filming of this film, but Rakuten.com under my name. ”

"Is that the online film and television site?" Teacher Lan asked.

Wu Tian's head, now that the name of Rakuten has gone through a copyright lawsuit, it is even louder, even many people who don't usually surf the Internet also know the existence of Rakuten.

"Rakuten doesn't seem to have much experience in film and television drama production, right?" Teacher Lan frowned and said, "However, for the protection of copyright by Rakuten.com, I can agree to give you the adaptation right." But you have to make sure that the quality of the shots is made. ”

"Teacher Lan rest assured," Wu Tian said with a smile, "Director, I am going to ask Director Kang to direct, the screenwriter is naturally best written by Mr. Lan, in addition, the actors, crew members, all by Director Kang, we will not intervene in any way, as for the funding, our initial plan is to invest 20 million." If that's not enough, you can add more! ”

As soon as this sentence came out. Teacher Lan's eyes lit up suddenly, and he was a little overjoyed......

Although large-scale movies have become popular in China in recent years, the scale of investment in TV dramas has not increased too much, and most of the TV drama production funds are still at the level of several million, and the scale of dozens of episodes is really not much money after one episode.

Not to mention military-themed TV dramas, except for CCTV's major war dramas, the investment in most military-themed film and television dramas is not very high. What's more, Soldier Assault doesn't have a commercial element and has almost no selling points!

According to the situation in the previous life, the total investment of "Soldier Assault" is 12 million, which is considered a low-to-medium scale investment in military-themed film and television dramas, which is destined to make the show unable to afford first-line stars from the beginning, and without star lineups, bizarre stories, love between men and women, grand scenes, palace grievances, etc., it is difficult to sell to TV stations at a high price after filming, and if it can't be sold at a high price, it will naturally be difficult to attract investors.

And the final broadcast result was as predicted at the beginning, and the ratings of the TV station were quite low.

It is not enough to pay attention to the fact that China's TV ratings statistical standards are very extensive, and under normal circumstances, 300 ordinary families are selected for sample statistics, which is difficult to achieve comprehensive results and cannot be regarded as typical. The main viewers of most ordinary families are those housewives or the elderly, which means that if it is a family ethics drama, what mother-in-law and daughter-in-law war, love stories are easier to count high ratings.

"Soldier Assault" has to say that this is a down-to-earth work, which is easier to attract those with high education, high income, and high social status. In addition, these people are more accustomed to watching film and television dramas on the Internet, so this work first became popular on the Internet, and then triggered a chain reaction, and major TV stations began to rebroadcast it repeatedly, which led to a complete popularity.

But it's a pity that the investors Bayi and Huayi didn't make much money from it, because when they sold it to the TV station at the beginning, the price was quite low, even as little as 2,000 yuan a cabbage per episode, and when people went back to rebroadcast it, they earned enough advertising fees, but they had nothing to do......

And this is also the reason why Wu Tian decided to broadcast this TV series from the Internet first, and then go back to the TV station to rebroadcast it!

"With an investment of 20 million, Mr. Wu is very sincere." Teacher Lan cupped his eyes and said with some excitement.

"Hehe, the key is that I see the potential of Mr. Lan's work, I believe that we can not only bring an excellent TV series to the audience, but also make a lot of money, and lay a material foundation for Mr. Lan's future creation." Wu Tian smiled, "So." The cost aspect of the adaptation right. According to the market price outside. I will also take one percent of the final income of the TV series as Mr. Lan's copyright remuneration, I don't know what Mr. Lan thinks? ”

"Uh, this, Mr. Wu is too polite......" Teacher Lan couldn't hide his excitement anymore.

You must know that the current survival status of domestic screenwriters is very worrying, except for some well-known screenwriters, most screenwriters are actually struggling purely on the food and clothing line.

The domestic film and television industry is in a stage of explosive growth, which has led to the fact that screenwriters cannot keep up with the market demand, and even film and television companies have no time to pay attention to the quality of their works. Even in order to start shooting a new film, he had to make a designated creation.

Generally, before a film and television company starts filming a film, it will first delineate a theme, and then hand it over to some slightly famous screenwriters or related people, who will pull out a big framework, and then recruit some newly graduated young people to start making up a script, ignoring all kinds of logical errors and even common sense errors in it, and just start filming.

The most direct consequences of such an approach are nothing more than two. One is that the quality of the script is rubbish, and the works filmed are purely poisonous to teenagers. The second is that the price of such a script is so low that it seriously lowers the value of the entire industry, even if those serious real screenwriters write good books, they either can't buy them at a high price, or they simply can't sell them!

Therefore, the price code offered by Wu Tian is not only the actual price of the average market price, which is very good - you must know that there are still some high-priced scripts in the market, and those well-known screenwriters can start at 100,000 yuan per episode. Even if the number of these high-priced scripts is not much, not to mention the average price, you have to give 18,000 yuan, right? Not to mention the commission according to the income, which is a preferential condition that ordinary screenwriters can't even think of!

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************

Seeing off the excited Teacher Lan, Wu Tian sighed secretly.

The reason why Mr. Lan was offered such a price code was not because Wu Tian was generous, but because he was worried about the entire industry.

In order to achieve success in the film and television industry, first of all, the status of screenwriters must be greatly improved. In Hollywood, in addition to the producer, the highest status in a film and television team is the screenwriter, and in the production team of the United States TV series, most of the producers are served by screenwriters - of course, the specific writing work is actually completed by a team, and the title holder is only the person in charge.

And the Chinese screenwriter's work, although team work has also become popular in recent years, is often a more famous screenwriter, responsible for grasping the outline and framework of the story, and other people are responsible for the specific details of the lines, but unfortunately in order to reduce the salary, except for the person in charge, the screenwriting team is all some young people who have just graduated, and the level is really limited, and it can't be compared with the screenwriting team of the United States - especially in terms of professionalism, the screenwriting team of other people in order to prove a term involved in the play, I have to go to the university to ask the professor, and I have never had such a spirit in China.

Another point, the screenwriter's voice in the crew is seriously insufficient, which is the key reason for the poor quality of the work. Often the director or producer, or even the main actor, thinks that a certain plot is not good, and has the right to ask the screenwriter to modify it according to their ideas, and even the work is often changed beyond recognition, and even the logic is confused, and the blame is all on the head of the script garbage.

For example, if the audience dislikes a character very much, the screenwriter will "write him to death" in the next episode, and the audience likes a supporting role very much, and the screenwriter will increase his role, which ensures that the script will always be very satisfactory to the audience. But Zhonghua thinks that the reason for the review is that the script must be reviewed first after it is written, and then reviewed after it is filmed in one go, which can naturally only cater to the aesthetics of the reviewer, but it may not be popular with the audience.

Therefore, in recent years, domestic TV dramas have become more and more monolithic, more and more detached from the local atmosphere, and more and more unpopular with the audience - especially the "three high" people, most of whom have refused to accept the poison of domestic dramas and began to watch American dramas instead.

And this result is far-reaching, the influx of American dramas will inevitably make Chinese people understand more about the Chinese society, and yearn for its social form, especially some dung youth, all kinds of complaints about the domestic situation will be fully flooded on the Internet, and even more netizens will be "brainwashed", and the people's base of the entire country will gradually be lost......

Although Wu Tian is also dissatisfied with this system, Wu Tian does not want to overthrow this system, but to gradually transform it, so if there is a chance to change, Wu Tian will naturally not be stingy to contribute.

Getting back to the point, going back to the roots, Wu Tian believes that improving the strength of screenwriters is the foundation of the rise of Chinese film and television, and can improve social contradictions to a certain extent. Therefore, Wu Tian will not be stingy with a little money at all, if his approach can become an example and affect the increase in the salary of the entire screenwriter, then why not?

Wu Tian decided that if this film is successful, he must hype up Mr. Lan's income afterwards, so that people in the industry know that screenwriters can also get high remuneration and have a high voice in the crew!

In addition, at that time, it can be announced at the same time that Rakuten will acquire the copyright of excellent scripts at a high price, and as long as the works that are favored by Rakuten, the screenwriters can enjoy the same high treatment as Mr. Lan!

Only by setting an example can more screenwriters realize that the quality of their works is fundamental, and as long as the quality of their works is guaranteed, they can make a lot of money. Once this plan is successful, it will greatly increase the attention of the entire industry to the script, and it will also make the screenwriter take his work more seriously.

The improvement of the quality of scripts will be the foundation for the rise of the entire film and television industry...... (To be continued.) )
