Chapter 25 Discuss Cooperation

said that it was a party, but in fact, it was a large-scale meeting attended by all the drama parties who had signed contracts with Dousheng.

The meeting was held in an auditorium on the 3rd floor of the Shake Sound Headquarters Building.

In front of the auditorium is a row of microphones and seats, above which sit the upper echelons of the shaking sound and watermelons, and below are rows of seats where the staff of the show sit down.

A name is attached to each seat, and after the crew arrives, they are seated in order under the guidance of the Shaking Sound staff.

Zhang Yang came to see such a scene.

This time, he took Wang Fei and Lin Xiaohan to participate together, and he knew that the main thing in this discussion was to arrange the broadcast order of each play before attending the meeting.

After all, hundreds of dramas can't be released all at once, to achieve the best effect, it is best to play one after another, so that after one drama is played, there will be new dramas to take over immediately, so that the broadcast method can better continue to suppress other platforms, and it is also more conducive to the development of watermelon video.

Under the guidance of the staff, the three of them were led by the staff to the first row of seats with their names on them.

"It's Director Zhang, right?"

As soon as he sat down, a middle-aged man next to his seat came up to talk very familiarly.

"You are ......"

Many of the participants this time are industry seniors, and Zhang Yang feels that he is a newcomer in the industry, so it is better to be respectful.

"Don't be so polite, I'm Hu Kaitian, I just made a "Zhang Sanfeng", just call me Lao Hu." Hu Kaitian smiled kindly and pointed to the name tag on his seat.

"Hello Director Hu."

Taking advantage of the handshake and greeting, Zhang Yang glanced in the direction of his finger from the corner of his eye, and there was indeed a name card on the table, with Hu Kaitian three big characters written on it, and a line below that read "Zhang Sanfeng".

He knew that the Dragon Snake Martial Arts pointed out that the Chen Zihao he was going to find was called over by the other party to be a martial arts instructor, and he was looking for Chen Zihao's apprentice Peng Zulong later.

The movie "Zhang Sanfeng" directed by the other party has sold very well at the box office recently, and several movie websites expect that the final box office may be 8-10 billion.

Hearing Zhang Yang or you like this, Hu Kaitian said helplessly: "I said that you don't need to be so polite, I heard Master Chen say it, you like to watch martial arts dramas?" ”

"Yes, I like to watch it." Zhang Yang nodded modestly.

When filming the dragon snake, he often discussed action with Peng Zulong, and also talked about some of his thoughts, Peng Zulong should have told his master some interesting stories that happened between the two.

Hu Kaitian heard his confirmation and laughed happily: "I like it too, but in recent years, the audience's sense of expectation for martial arts dramas has become worse and worse, and the market is not as good as before." ”

"I don't think so." Zhang Yang retorted: "I don't think it's the audience's problem, it's the drama's problem." ”

"Over the years, martial arts dramas have become worse and worse, many plots are messy, screenwriters tamper with the original work, investors install cronies, actors are not good at acting, action special effects have been complained about by countless people, scripts are scarce, after filming for so many years, what often appears in front of the audience is those familiar TVs, everyone in the industry is yearning to make quick money, no one is willing to cultivate a new drama at all, these factors are combined, how can you make a martial arts drama that makes the audience's eyes shine?"

"I've seen Zhang Sanfeng directed by you, and I feel very good. The whole movie is well-made, the plot is well-organized, the style of play is self-contained, and the special effects are obvious to all, and the shooting is very good. ”

"Its box office results can also prove my point of view, after all, the audience's eyes are always bright, not what your director thinks is good, but that the audience thinks you are really good."

Hu Kaitian listened thoughtfully, picked up the mineral water in front of him with his hand, unscrewed it and tightened it: "Your point of view is very reasonable. But now the industry generally thinks that martial arts dramas are outdated, what do you think? ”

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's still a little reasonable." ”

"Zhang Sanfeng's quality is so high, but the box office can't break through 1 billion, and many other types of movies with far worse quality can easily break 1 billion, which speaks for itself."

"After all, martial arts have been filmed for decades, and people are used to all innovations, and there is no new martial arts IP in China, and the decline of martial arts is inevitable."

"However, the decline of martial arts does not mean that the spirit of martial arts is gone, and there are countless popular fantasy and fairy tale IPs on the Internet, as long as there are screenwriters who are willing to adapt them into a good script, I think the spirit of martial arts is enough to continue in them."

"Fantasy? Xianxia? Hu Kaitian frowned: "There is no shortage of fantasy Xianxia type dramas, but I have watched many dramas with low ratings, and the audience is also very dissatisfied." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yang was a little angry: "What is it called fantasy now?" What is Xianxia called? ”

"The most important thing in this type of drama is the special effects, and doing special effects requires money, so what about the money? The cost of filming a drama accounts for the majority of the entire cost, how can there be money for special effects, and how can the special effects be good? 5 Mao special effects still want to be recognized by the audience? ”

"Secondly, the actors' acting skills are ridiculously bad, these new young actors have high fees, poor acting skills, 12345 lines, and their expressions will only stare and sell cute mouths, who will watch this filmed thing?"

"Again, the screenwriter wants to adapt the IP but does not respect the original work, changes and makes it up randomly, the director does not have a deep understanding of the original work, and he shoots a bunch of four dissimilarities, the plot is only about love, and there is no deeper discussion and understanding, how can such a drama not attract scolding?"

"Fighting Qi and Turning Horses, Eternal Dust is the most typical example!"

The more Zhang Yang talked, the more angry he became, and when he remembered that he got the "Eternal Dust" that the system would release, the feeling of being played came to his heart again.

"Eliminate gas." Hu Kaitian hurriedly appeased, and handed over the water at hand: "Hearing you say this, I feel a little enlightened." Most of the viewers who watch the drama now belong to your generation, and the views you say are more representative of most people's ideas, but I, a middle-aged person, can't see through the mystery. ”

Zhang Yang took a sip of water and felt a lot calmer, "You are humble." ”

"It's not that I'm humble, but I really think you have a point." Hu Kaitian waved his hand and said sincerely: "Your views are very interesting, I will think about it again when I go back, and there is a chance that the two of us will co-direct a drama to try the effect." ”

"Okay, if you have the opportunity, you will definitely cooperate."

Just when the two were chatting, another group of people came to a few seats not far from Zhang Yang.

The first one is actually a young man about the same age as Zhang Yang!
