Chapter 21: Choosing a Script

In the hot pot restaurant, Ren Shuai and Mu Xiaoqing sat in the lobby.

Mu Xiaoqing called to call Su Yu, but unfortunately the other party had fallen asleep and did not answer the phone at all.

She and Ren Shuai can only eat together.

Accompanied by the rising steam of the hot pot, Mu Xiaoqing secretly observed Uncle Li.

She still thinks in private that Uncle Li is an undercover agent in the concierge team, and she doesn't have the temperament of a janitor at all, but her acting skills are unexpectedly powerful.

Especially the appearance, whether it is figure or appearance, it meets the requirements of an actor, but it is far from the porter.

Mu Xiaoqing put vegetables in the pot and tried to test Uncle Li.

"I recently received a few scripts recommended by the company, but the schedule is a bit bumpy, and I don't know how to choose, can you help me make suggestions?"

"Hmm."

Ren Shuai picked up a slice of beef that was tumbling in the pot and responded vaguely.

He was so engrossed in his food that he didn't have time to worry about anything else.

Mu Xiaoqing saw that the uncle looked like he was concentrating on eating, as if he was just perfunctory, so he dragged the stool to his side, trying to attract his attention.

"Mr. Li, the themes of these scripts are not the same, two urban idol dramas, a fairy tale drama, and a costume palace fighting drama."

Mu Xiaoqing said, helping Ren Shuai get a cup of tea.

Ren Shuai continued to stare intently at the beef that was constantly tumbling and looming in the boiling soup.

Mu Xiaoqing retreated in defeat and decided to continue the topic after eating.

But Ren Shuai swallowed a piece of meat and said, "Palace fighting drama." ”

"Huh?"

Mu Xiaoqing was surprised and puzzled at the same time.

Unexpectedly, Teacher Li heard her speak, and was puzzled that Uncle Li recommended her to act in the palace fighting drama.

Within the scope of Yezhou, the most common and popular TV dramas are basically idol dramas, Xianxia dramas, spy war dramas and the like, and the most stable TV drama types are bubble dramas and criminal investigation dramas.

These mainstream TV dramas do not include palace fighting dramas at all, and few people invest in filming.

Of course, Ren Shuai knows the market situation, and Uncle Li has done special research before to analyze which type of TV series will become a new hot spot.

But he has the memories of his previous life and knows how vast the market for palace fighting dramas is.

Mu Xiaoqing saw that Mr. Li began to concentrate on eating meat again, so she said: "The idol dramas and Xianxia dramas in these scripts are produced by big platforms, and the quality is guaranteed, as a newcomer, I should play a role such as female No. 6, and that palace fighting drama is the team of a small platform, the reason why the company recommends it is because they can let me play female No. 2." ”

Ren Shuai listened silently and did not make a sound.

Looking at Uncle Li's appearance, do you still recommend palace fighting dramas?

She said tentatively: "The works on the big platform have high ratings, and the quality of the works is guaranteed, and there are opportunities to cooperate with the seniors in the circle, the level of the works on the small platform is uneven, and the production team is also unstable, do you think I should be safe to start as a newcomer?" ”

Ren Shuai, who put a piece of chopsticks meat into the seasoning bowl, nodded, opened his mouth, and sent the beef covered in soup into his mouth.

Then, nodding again in satisfaction.

Mu Xiaoqing's expression stiffened slightly, and she didn't understand whether the uncle nodded to agree with his opinion or recognize the taste of beef.

Facing Mu Xiaoqing's curious gaze, Ren Shuai picked up the plate and said, "Eat, don't always watch me eat alone." ”

"Oh, good."

She took it and mechanically added vegetables to the hot pot.

Let's wait for Uncle Li to finish eating before discussing it......

"Palace fighting drama."

Ren Shuai spoke again without warning.

Mu Xiaoqing couldn't help it, and asked directly, "Why?" ”

Looking at the beef that was still a little reddish in the pot, Ren Shuai put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "It can be said that it is experience." ”

Experience?

But Yezhou's film and television market has developed for many years, and it is rare to see palace fighting dramas, where does Uncle Li come from, and what is his experience?

Mu Xiaoqing took advantage of the fact that the beef was not cooked, and hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me more specifically?" ”

Ren Shuai is helpless, and he can't say that it is the experience of his previous life.

He could only give full play to the strengths of science and engineering men, and began to quantify the indicators, enumerating them one by one: "Judging from the market analysis in the past 5 years, idol dramas account for 50%, Xianxia dramas account for 20%, spy war dramas account for 8%, and other types of TV account for 22% in total, among which palace fighting dramas rarely appear." This does not prove that there is no market for palace fighting dramas, on the contrary, it proves that the market for such TV dramas has not been developed. ”

He picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, and continued to look at it: "Let's compare and analyze the number of scripts you have received, the market for idol dramas and Xianxia dramas is saturated, and it is difficult to fight your way out of the encirclement in many works, besides, if you play the female No. 6, the proportion of the lens will not exceed 3% of the entire length of the film, and the palace fight drama is a fresh attempt, or the female No. 2, the proportion of the lens is at least 30%, as a newcomer, the first priority is to make people remember you, remember your role, the more shots you appear, the better, even if the overall ratings are low, But still be able to make the audience remember you. ”

Mu Xiaoqing was stunned when she heard this, her mouth was half open, and she didn't react a little.

Ren Shuai saw that she didn't understand very well, and explained: "If you don't believe my experience, we can build a model and speak with data, assuming that the ratings of works on large platforms are alpha, and small platforms are beta, and your lens proportion multiplied by ratings is the overall exposure. ”

Mu Xiaoqing gradually swallowed her saliva, blinking her big eyes, her ears understood, but her brain didn't understand.

Unclear.

She secretly guessed that Uncle Li spoke loudly and confidently, this is because it involves his real professional field, right?

Uncle Li is really not a real porter.

Ren Shuai still needs to be introduced in depth, but Yu Guang caught a glimpse that the meat in the pot had turned white, and it would be old if he cooked it again, so he quickly withdrew his words, picked up his chopsticks and continued to concentrate on eating meat.

Mu Xiaoqing slowly recalled Ren Shuai's words, and felt that the more she thought about it, the more reasonable it became, especially the pile of model theories in the back, which felt that she could write a graduation thesis.

Uncle Li was really hidden, but I still found out.

Mu Xiaoqing had a hint of joy in her heart to see through Uncle Li's true identity, secretly cheered for her fiery eyes, picked up chopsticks and unconsciously picked up a piece of meat in Ren Shuai's bowl and put it in her mouth.

"Well, it's delicious."

She nodded, only to feel that something was wrong.

She seemed to have sandwiched a piece of meat from Uncle Li's bowl, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

It's rude.

Ren Shuai pretended not to see it, and still ate by himself.

Mu Xiaoqing hurriedly took a sip of tea to hide her embarrassment, and felt that the air was too quiet, so she quickly changed the topic and said, "That, Mr. Li, I'm going to see the group, I don't have much experience, can you go with me if you are free?" ”
