Chapter 281: The aggrieved Yu Ma, a new film is about to be released
The TV series of the bright era sold a high price of 850,000 episodes, which made the company smile, and the TV drama production department was even more proud, 80% of the profits of the bright era last year were created by the film production department, and this year's TV drama production department can be regarded as a small beautiful turnaround.
This matter has also spread rapidly in the industry, most of the TV dramas produced before the bright era are small-scale urban emotional dramas, and the first time a historical drama can have such good results, it is really envious of others.
However, compared to other peers, they were only slightly unhappy in their hearts, and the people in Yu Zheng's studio and Yu Zheng were almost vomiting three liters of blood.
Gu Cancan's opinion of Mr. Yu Zhengyu, he is an unqualified screenwriter, a perfect producer, and a profiteer who keeps learning......
The reason why the bright era held a viewing meeting in such a hurry was to snipe Yu Zheng's "Palace", fortunately, the final result was very satisfactory, Beijing Satellite TV released a satellite, and the price of a single episode exceeded the expectations of the bright era, otherwise Gu Cancan was actually mentally prepared for a single episode of less than 500,000 yuan, even if the price was low, he would have to put "Step by Step" on the screen of satellite TV before Yu Zheng's "Palace".
Speaking of which, Yu Zheng had a learning experience in the drama in his early years, followed Hong Kong director Li Huimin to learn screenwriting in 99, and established "Yu Zheng Studio" as an independent screenwriter in 02, and most of the "Yu Zheng productions" we saw later began here.
It can be said that Yu is the first batch of professional screenwriters and turned-producers in Chinese mainland who imitate the routines of Hong Kong dramas, and the TV series he produced were very different from the mainland dramas at that time, and they were also different from many Hong Kong and Taiwan co-productions.
I have to praise here that Yu Zheng has led many costume drama trends by himself.
However, after Yu Zheng, who has a keen sense of smell, launched a few works, he slowly noticed the huge group of netizens, and Yu's official commotion began.
06's "The Harem of the Qing Dynasty" basically plagiarized "Golden Branches", and the limelight was borrowed from "Da Changjin".
The characters in this drama are strangely shaped, but the appearance is generally online, and it is this drama that has laid the general characteristics of Yu Ma's play, beauty, bad words, and bright colors.
"The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" in 07 is the earliest test of Yu Zheng's official production of martial arts dramas.
How to say it, martial arts is not bound by history, but it highlights Yu Zheng's imaginative advantages.
Of course, the shape is still sparse, and the tragic death of the male protagonist seems to have given Yu Zheng a strong blow.
So later, on the basis of attracting investors, most of his plays were handsome men and beautiful women, and there were no more bizarre starring actors, and appearance became the primary requirement of Yu Zheng's actors.
The bright era version of "Step by Step" Gu Cancan personally cut the first three episodes, and the rhythm is indeed learned from Yu Zheng.
Yu Zheng's script places a strong emphasis on pacing, and sometimes even sacrifices characters and plot.
So sometimes when you watch his dramas, you feel that some things are illogical, and the characters' behaviors are a bit inexplicable, but generally there will be no state of wanting to sleep when you feel procrastinated and lengthy watching his dramas.
Most of his dramas, the part of romance and love are for junior high school students, and the part of intrigue is for housewives, and they are psychologically compatible with the "brain-dead fans" audience of Hu Nan Satellite TV, which is probably the secret of Yu Zheng and Hu Nan Satellite TV being able to cooperate for so many years?
Although Yu Zheng is sprayed on the Internet, it is undeniable that the TV series produced by Yu Zheng does have a huge market and strong ratings.
In Gu Cancan's original time and space, there are even so-called Yu Zhengse and Yu Zheng aesthetics, which are ...... most intuitive visual impact.
To be honest, Gu Cancan still learned a little thing from Yu Zheng, such as casting, the configuration of newcomers and old actors, at least to avoid embarrassing scenes of acting skills in the whole play......
Speaking of Yu Zheng's drama is really bad, rotten in plagiarism, rotten in Mary Sue, some lines and narrative logic are also problematic, but there are still many people hiding under the covers and watching Yu Zheng's drama and can't stop, some of his advantages are still worth learning from Gu Cancan.
However, at this time, Yu Zheng seemed a little angry.
Now Yu Zheng has been honed in the production of TV dramas in the past few years, and he has seventy percent of the skills of later generations, before he also fell in love with the concept of "Step by Step", and went to Tonghua to plan to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Step by Step", but learned that the film and television adaptation rights of "Step by Step" had already been bought by the bright times, and even the other party should start planning to make a TV series.
Yu Zheng keenly felt the outlet of the traversal drama, but at this time, there are not many online articles on the market that are suitable for adaptation, "Step by Step Shocking" is already a leader in coaxing, but it has been taken by others, and there are already relevant reports on the Internet that "Step by Step" is about to be filmed into a TV series.
He weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and decisively decided to write a similar Qingchuang script, and Yu Zheng's studio's next production is this one, and he wants to strive to come out before "Step by Step" and win the first place in the Qingchuan heroine drama.
Originally, Yu Zheng thought that he would be sure, because he knew that Hu Mei's filming of TV series had always been slow, and if he caught up with the schedule, he would finish filming in two or three months, and he would be able to get "Palace" released before the bright era.
I didn't expect the Bright Times to move so fast, the drama directed by Hu Mei was filmed in less than half a year, and the time for the Bright Times to hold a viewing meeting was shorter, a week after the filming ended, the viewing meeting was held, two days earlier than them.
The most important thing is that Yu Zhengchao wants to win the title of the first Qing Piercing Drama, but it is likely to become empty.
"How so?" Yu Zheng felt that things were out of his control.
However, the time of Yu Zheng's studio's viewing meeting has already been notified to the leaders of various TV stations, and it is too late to revise it.
Yu Zheng could only pray that the quality of the drama in the bright era was worrying, but the price of 850,000 episodes shattered his expectations.
I always feel that something is leaving me, Yu Zheng thought unhappily in his heart.
Yu Zheng's studio's film viewing party also came to many TV station buyers, after all, as early as the previous publicity, Yu Zheng shamelessly put forward the gimmick of wearing the first drama.
Many TV stations have not been able to grasp the "Step by Step Shocking" in the bright era, so they have a strong interest in this "Palace", which is known as the first drama of Qing Piercing, and they are also quite looking forward to the lineup of this drama.
As a result, after watching the film, the scene of public praise imagined by Yu Zheng did not become a reality, and "Palace" was cut out a little rough because of the hurry.
With "Step by Step" Zhuyu in front, there are several illogical plots in the first three episodes of "Palace", such a TV series, it is difficult for these buyers who have already cultivated their tastes to be interested enough.
Of course, there are a lot of interests, after all, this drama is also well-made, and the heaviness of "Step by Step" is different, "Palace" jumps out a lot, young people may prefer this style?
In the end, Mango Satellite TV, which has cooperated with Yu Zheng many times, bought the premiere rights of "Palace" at a price of 550,000, which is not low, and it can be regarded as meeting Yu Zheng's expectations.
But being pressed by the bright times everywhere, Yu Zheng always felt that he was not angry, and he felt very aggrieved.
Knowing that "Palace" also held a viewing party and sold it to Mango Satellite TV for 550,000 yuan, Gu Cancan contacted Li Liqiang and suggested that Li Liqiang had better release "Step by Step" as soon as possible, otherwise if "Palace" was broadcast first, the name of the first drama would be cleared, and some of them would be torn up.
Li Liqiang listened to the suggestion and persuaded the leaders with great difficulty in the station to adjust a rural TV series to the back and arrange for "Step by Step Shocking" to be broadcast next week.
At the same time, Mango Satellite TV also announced the plan for the broadcast of the TV series, and in the TV series to be broadcast next week, "Palace" is impressive.
……
"Can an episode of a TV series sell for 850,000?" Wang Xiaoxiao's cherry mouth was half open, and the whole person was stunned.
Gu Cancan hurriedly went to Beijing University to find Wang Xiaoxiao, and proudly shared the good news with his dear, which really made Wang Xiaoxiao amazed.
"That's right, it must be a high-quality product produced in the bright era. I finalized this project single-handedly, from the purchase of the copyright to the establishment of the TV series, I only participated in this day, of course, it will be a blockbuster. Gu Cancan shamelessly boasted about herself, as if she was not standing on the shoulders of giants.
But Wang Xiaoxiao didn't know, she looked at Gu Cancan with starry eyes, and she was a cute mess with her honorable appearance.
"I make money, I make money, I don't know how to spend it, Motorola on the left hand and Nokia on the right." Gu Cancan hummed a cheerful tone, and he was in a very happy mood.
Wang Xiaoxiao leaned over and slapped her, and said angrily: "Look at you, your movies were not more profitable before, and I haven't seen you so happy." ”
Gu Cancan smiled: "The main TV series has made someone add a blockage, and I feel comfortable thinking of this." ”
Wang Xiaoxiao was speechless.
After a while, Wang Xiaoxiao said faintly: "Cancan, I expect to be able to take enough credits in my junior year, and I plan to graduate a year early." ”
Hearing this, Gu Cancan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed: "My family's smile is really amazing, by the way, your teacher is willing to let you go?" ”
Wang Xiaoxiao has been working with her teacher on projects since the second semester of her freshman year, and she has been almost able to take charge of herself from the beginning of her chores to now, how can the teacher be willing to let go of such a talented student.
Sure enough, hearing Gu Cancan say this, Wang Xiaoxiao sighed: "Hey, Mr. Huang still asked me to study for his graduate school, last time I said that I wanted to graduate early, and scolded me." ”
"Why do you want to graduate early, smile?"
Wang Xiaoxiao held her cheek with one hand, her eyes fell on Gu Cancan's face, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, and she said with a smile: "I think I have mastered enough knowledge in reading, and I have followed my mentor to do projects for a year and a half, and I have a little experience in enterprise management and operation." Cancan, I want to help you. ”
Gu Cancan's heart beat half a beat less, it was because he wanted to help him, Xiaoxiao planned to graduate a year early, Gu Cancan's heart was full of emotion.
She couldn't say anything more to persuade her, she was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the bright future bright era, including the bright video and bright cinema line, urgently needs to laugh at talents like you, well, as long as you are willing, the door of the bright group has always been open for you." ”
Wang Xiaoxiao smiled contentedly.
"By the way, Cancan, are you going to shoot "Heartbreaker" next?" After a while, Wang Xiaoxiao led to a new topic.
Gu Cancan nodded: "Well, but in the past two days, I will go to the platform for "Hot Pot Hero" and participate in two activities, and then I will go to shoot "Heartbreaker". ”
"Oh? "Hot Pot Hero" is finally going to be released? Wang Xiaoxiao became interested, "Hehe, I have long wanted to see what the villain you play in it looks like, and I finally waited." ”
"It's going to blow your mind." Speaking of acting, Gu Cancan was full of confidence and full of energy.
Wang Xiaoxiao felt that Gu Cancan was simply glowing at this time, and after taking a second look, she jumped violently, breathed a few times, looked away, and said in order to divert her attention: "Cancan, I remember you said that generally after a movie is filmed, it will take a long time before it will be released, why is "Hot Pot Hero" released so quickly?" ”
"It's not a question of schedule." Gu Cancan patiently explained to Wang Xiaoxiao: "The filming of "Hot Pot Hero" went very smoothly, it was filmed in two and a half months, and then it took a month to do the post-production, which was originally planned to be released in October. However, we learned about the films to be released this year, Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" in August, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei's "Painted Skin" in September, Zhou Xun's "Li Mi's Conjecture" in October, and two imported films "Wanted" and "007-Quantum of Solace", and Ge You's "Peach Blossom Luck" and "Love Call Transfer 2" in November. ”
"So, Cancan, do you have confidence in this movie?" Wang Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
Gu Cancan thought about it and said uncertainly: "It's really not good to say this, but the quality of the movie itself is fine, starring Chen Kun, plus me, hehe, it shouldn't be a loss." ”
"With Cancan participating, I don't think I will lose money." Wang Xiaoxiao has blind confidence in Gu Cancan.
"Haha, I hope so, by the auspicious words of a smile."
……
On Friday, June 21, the first stop of "Hot Pot Heroes" will of course be in Beijing, which will kick off at the Shangri-La Hotel.
Generally speaking, "Hot Pot Hero" is not a big production, and it can also be classified as a small-budget movie, but among the leading actors, there are first-line powerful acting schools like Chen Kun, comedy stars like Yu Entai, who are popular all over the country, and popular star idols like Gu Cancan as the villains, so whether it is the director or the investor, they actually attach great importance to this movie, and they also have a good psychological expectation for the box office results.
The lineup of the film is not luxurious, but with Gu Cancan alone, it is enough to attract countless reporters, not to mention that Chen Kunyu Entai and other main actors are all available, the reporters have bright eyes, and they have finished their drafts early, and the cameramen and photographers are even more click-and-shoot.
Gu Cancan took the company's special car and drove until the door of Shangri-La before getting off the car, and someone immediately greeted her and sent her in.
Even so, Gu Cancan was almost clubbed in the face by the reporter.
"Gu Cancan, I have a question."
"Look here."
