Chapter 318: On the eve of the launch

"It's very hot right now! In the discussions on our platform, various forums, post bars, and even many social media, we have detected a large number of public opinions about "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2"! ”

Ye Jiayi sat in the office, listening to Wu Jingtong's report.

Wu Jingtong's eyes were a little bloodshot, but now that he is a market and a propaganda mouth, in order to keep track of the heat, he can't take any rest or rest.

To be honest, if it weren't for this hard work, he would not have been able to tightly control the company's title of 'marketing director' when Wedo Entertainment was growing.

It is true that he is a veteran of the company, but in the process of rapid development, not every veteran can closely follow the pace of the company. Those who go slowly, who feel that they don't want to leave after becoming famous, will be slowly left behind by the company - not to be fired, but it is almost impossible to get into a high position.

At least, under Ye Jiayi's rule, it can't be.

Wu Jingtong's report is still continuing: "The bundled publicity of "Emperor Ruzi" and "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" has been done, and now our people have been putting a lot of news outside, hoping to guide the popularity of "Taiwu Picture Scroll 2" winning the annual game award to "Emperor Ruzi". ”

Ye Jiayi nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”

Wu Jingtong laughed, but he still couldn't hold back and snorted. In front of the boss, this is a very gaffe action, but he really can't bear it.

Covering his mouth, he blinked twice, forcibly pushed the sleepiness down a little more, and continued: "But...... I really can't guarantee how much the specific conversion rate can be, it depends on the content. ”

"Well, on the conversion rate, I'll let Sun Junyi keep an eye on it." Seeing him like this, Ye Jiayi was also a little unbearable, and said, "I see that you have been tired for a long time, hurry up and go back to rest." If you have enough rest, you can work well. ”

Couldn't help but blast Wu Jingtong away, Ye Jiayi sat alone in the office, and looked at the computer screen, which listed a lot of data.

The popularity of the beginning of "The Emperor of Ruzi" is indeed not very high. Although it is produced by Dimension Entertainment, in terms of casting, the fame of the protagonist Li Ze is a bit far behind Chen Yu in the same period. Chen Yu can now be regarded as a first-line traffic star, and with the precipitation of more and more works, the future is quite bright.

And Li Ze, except for playing the protagonist of "Hell Apartment", has no particularly good role.

In addition to the protagonist, in other roles, although some stars are also invited, most of them are second- and third-tier, or some comrades who are a little outdated.

For example, among the three in the Little Tigers, Chen Zhipeng, who is currently the most unlucky, such as Pan Yueming, who is very angry, but seems to have turned over recently, for example, Ren Quan, who opened a hot pot restaurant and didn't come out to act......

These people have a relatively uniform situation, that is, they are not very expensive, and their popularity is not as good as before, but the level is good.

In addition to a few old drama bones, this is the case with the actors of the entire crew.

The investment in the whole show is not small, but there is not a lot of money spent on post-production and special effects. For Wedo Entertainment, this is equivalent to the investment spent on "The Emperor of the Ruzi", which is all real money.

I didn't spend much money on the actors, and I didn't spend it on the special effects, where did it go?

Smashed to the production.

A lot of money was spent on costumes, scenery, and a lot of plot shooting.

If you can't attract people with special effects, you have to win somewhere else.

The director who directed "The Emperor of Ruzi" was Xie Peihe, who was introduced to Fan Zhe by Du Zhengde. This old comrade Xie is older than Director Du, and he used to make historical dramas and dramas, but after the production of TV dramas became more and more entertaining and feminine, his works slowly became less popular, and even after a few failures, the recent situation has become worse.

But no matter what, he is a very experienced and strong veteran director.

Fan Zhe believes that if he is given a good enough script and sufficient funds, he can make a good drama.

The outside world's perception of Wedo Entertainment is about 'boutique manufacturing machine', 'extreme picture', 'supergod special effects' and so on, but in Fan Zhe's view, Wedo Entertainment has its own unique place in script creation, especially in script adaptation.

Wedo Entertainment established a team of screenwriters very early. This team, after experiencing so many games, games and other works, has accumulated enough experience in this area.

In the adaptation process of many works of Wedo Entertainment, the screenwriters who participated in the adaptation work have also summed up a set of work experience.

When adapting a work, the screenwriters first analyze the original work and grasp the essence and main line. The general principle must be to maintain the spirit of the original work, follow the original work as much as possible, reduce the modification of the original work, and add content to the original plot - this is the so-called 'original part' that is disgusted by many viewers and readers.

And in some necessary revisions, or parts of the original work that cannot be filmed and television (such as policy issues, scale issues, etc.), we should also try to revise them while keeping them in line with the original work.

In this way, the original flavor of the work can be maintained to the greatest extent.

The benefits are bound to be there. In any case, whether it is these or games, if you can get good results to a certain extent, there must be something excellent. Abandon the original book and change it randomly, but it is a matter of picking sesame seeds and losing watermelon. Generally speaking, no matter how good or bad the original work is, after all, this genre is not easy to compare with the audience of film and television dramas. Many companies do adaptations of the original work, focusing on the popularity of the original work, hoping to convert the readers and players of the original book into audiences of film and television dramas, but Wedo Entertainment is the opposite, they believe that the most useful thing about the original book is to provide an excellent story.

Throw away the story and go to be popular? It's stupid.

Of course, when Wedo Entertainment adapts some networks, it often takes millions of words, and due to the length of the article, it is impossible to shoot them all. Generally, in this case, the screenwriting team of Wedo Entertainment will cut off some unnecessary side parts.

The drama "Emperor Ruzi" is a bit special, the original book involves a large number of characters and a large number of story lines, but it is intertwined with the main story line at all times. This brought a certain degree of difficulty to the adaptation work of the screenwriting team, and also brought great challenges to Xie Peihe during filming.

With a large number of characters and story lines, it is obvious that the plot will be complicated.

Complexity itself is not a shortcoming, especially "The Emperor of Ruzi" itself has a certain brain-burning element, and if the struggle for power and conspiracy is simple, it will make it very child's play.

But this is very challenging for creators, if you are not careful, 'complex' will become 'cluttered' and 'unintelligible', which is not good.

But fortunately, Xie Peihe handled it well.

The work has been edited in the later stage, and Ye Jiayi has also seen the original film, at least she thinks that the play is not bad.

It's just that "The Emperor of Ruzi" is indeed different from any of the previous works made by Dimension Entertainment, and in the case of not being attractive with strong visual effects and the cast is not very strong, can "The Emperor of Ruzi" get a good result?

Ye Jiayi didn't know, but there would always be some worries in her heart, especially in front of "Emperor Ruzi", there was a very powerful enemy: "Heavenly Dao Library".
