Chapter 357: Two Unit Sitcoms
When "The Legend of the New White Lady" was officially broadcast on the Internet, the effect caused was no less than that of the TV broadcast.
Many netizens who only saw the back and didn't see the front couldn't wait to flock to the online platform to watch the episodes in front.
With the support of online platform broadcasting, netizens have increased a lot of popularity in discussing "The Legend of the New White Lady" with the media.
But in this wave of discussions, there are very few bad reviews, and most of them have given good reviews.
[Sun Zhengxin understands Oriental Xianxia, this is the Oriental Xianxia style! ] 】
[Xianxia style special effects are awesome, I'm tired of saying this sentence]
[I deliberately went to look at the cast list, and only then did I know that Xu Xian was actually played by an actress, but there was no sense of disobedience throughout the whole process, I can only say that the role of Xu Xian is too weak]
[The adaptation of this version is unexpectedly very close to the version in myths and legends]
[Fortunately, I didn't chase the TV station to watch, I was afraid that I would only see the back, not the front, and my heart would be very itchy, so I kept waiting, and finally waited for the broadcast on the online platform, and it was broadcast on the three major platforms together.
I have a member of one of the platforms, and I don't need to open another member to see, this time the three platforms have done a very conscientious thing! 】
The three major platforms jointly launched "The Legend of the New White Lady", which made netizens' perception a lot better.
Everyone has more or less members of one of the platforms, so there is no need to open another membership in order to chase this drama, which saves a sum of expenses.
At the same time, as more and more people watch "The Legend of the New White Lady", their feelings and understanding of this TV series are getting deeper and deeper.
And the reputation of "The Legend of the New White Lady" has gradually soared, and by the time the TV station aired the tenth episode, the show had already secured its position.
can survive the tenth episode, and also survive the previous time period when it is very likely to slander bad reviews, and now Gu Che finally dares to let go of his courage to promote "The Legend of the New White Lady".
He didn't dare to publicize it before, because he was afraid that netizens would feel very resistant to Xu Xian's actor being an actress, thinking that he was changing myths and legends and reporting it.
But now that word of mouth has accumulated, even if such remarks will still appear, this drama is no longer as unbearable as before.
At this time, everything will only become more and more stable, and these bad reviews will no longer hit this TV series.
It was only at this time that Gu Che was sure that "The Legend of the New White Lady" had completely stabilized, and he could also start publicity without any scruples.
At the beginning, "The Legend of the New White Lady" accumulated popularity through word of mouth, and it was only now that Gu Che dared to really start publicity and promotion.
As soon as Gu Che made a move, the publicity of this drama was even more pervasive.
All of a sudden, it was even stronger than the publicity momentum of "A Bite of Xia Guo", which has been officially promoted by state agencies as a documentary for external promotion.
This month, the two strongest dramas are the documentary "Xia Guo on the Tip of the Tongue", and the other is the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady".
When these two dramas dominated the list, Gu Che kept going and started the preparation plan for another drama.
He plans to create a local Cantonese drama.
This was a decision made to promote the Cantonese language.
In recent years, there are fewer and fewer people who know how to use Cantonese as a dialect, so Gu Che thought about making a few TV series, so that children and adults could follow along.
If the number of episodes produced is longer, it is not a dream to chase it every day.
Thinking like this, Gu Che immediately had a thought in his mind-
"Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" and "Seventy-two Tenants"!
These two dramas belong to the next dinner drama, which is suitable for people to watch while eating, and they are classics among classics.
Gu Che was on the earth in his dreams, and when he was a child, he often watched "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", and later changed to "Seventy-two Tenants".
This is more heavily imprinted in Cantonese.
It is not with the Cantonese imprint, but with the Chinese imprint, and can be filmed relatively long, suitable for unit dramas, and also suitable for family dinner dramas, and there are also goals that can be selected -
"Family with Children", "Love Apartment" and "Happy Planet", which is very popular with children.
These TV series are different from traditional TV dramas, they are not mainly romance films, but like unit sitcoms and comedies.
It is also because of its special nature that they can shoot many episodes.
So Gu Che quickly decided and aimed the next step at these unit sitcoms.
He listed all the unit sitcoms he knew, and he didn't hide it, the dramas he listed, one shot a year is enough to shoot for several years, and each one can be turned into a trump card when taken out alone.
Gu Che even thought about whether to open a department to shoot this kind of drama, but after thinking about it, he gave up again, because he didn't know if there were any other dramas that could be filmed after filming the dramas he listed.
If there is no guarantee of continuous output, Gu Che is not very fond of opening another department.
But he was unwilling, and Ye Ming, who received the news, was very willing.
Whoever is smashed by Gu Che will have the same attitude as Ye Ming in the two scripts of "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" and "Family with Children".
It's tough.
Not only is it tough, but it's also too fucking long!
"A Bite of Xia Guo" and "The Legend of the New White Lady" are still on the air, Ye Ming thought that Gu Che would prepare the colorful black album with peace of mind first, but he didn't expect him to prepare the album while preparing a new TV series.
And the types of TV series to watch, this span is not ordinarily large!
Ye Ming immediately went to Gu Che, and the first question he asked was: "You don't have a problem with your brain, you tell me, are you the legendary genius, different from our ordinary people's heads?" ”
Gu Che: ......
He glanced at Ye Ming, and his expression revealed a great speechlessness.
Ye Ming snorted, "Don't think I'm talking nonsense, I'm asking very serious questions." The two scripts you gave me were so shocking. ”
"In the past, you adapted TV series, movies, and several stage plays based on mythological stories, but they were all not separated from the existing information, but the "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" and "Family with Children" you gave me are completely fictional from you."
"I've been with you for almost two years, and I know everything about your life. You don't have the foundation to create these scripts at all, but you still create them, and you're very full of life. I don't know where you got your information, but I can only think that you have a different mind than anyone else. ”
Ye Ming said the point, licked his face and said: "So Gu Che God, when will you create a romance film again, I want to break the record." If there is no inspiration in the TV series, then it can be in the movie, and it is still the kind that can break the box office record in film history. ”
"You're going to create a TV series, and I suggest romance. After all, the audience of TV dramas is still more romantic films, even if it is a fantasy fairy tale film, it is mainly based on love. ”
"But if you're creating a movie, then we can talk about the subject matter well. Youth films are not very popular in movies, and movies are only popular when they are big-budget films. Sci-fi and realistic films are no problem. ”
Ye Ming looked at Gu Che sincerely: "So, when will you get me another TV series or movie?" ”
Gu Che: ......
He said expressionlessly, "It's more practical to dream. ”
But in fact, Gu Che can really take it out, but he won't take it out now.
No matter how you say it, you have to make these scripts, and let's talk about it later.
There are two excellent sitcoms, "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" and "Family with Children", Ye Ming immediately called Liu Xun and Sun Zhengxin to come to the meeting.
There is no way, there are only two directors who have joined Gu Che's studio, so whenever there is a film, it is filmed closely by these two directors.
Scripts are good scripts.
Even if Ye Ming only glanced at it a few times, he could tell that the quality of the script was good.
But what worries him is that the director is not necessarily a good director, and it is very likely that the director will not be able to make such a sitcom.
There is a saying that there is a specialization in the art industry, and there is a special director for filming films like this, and once the path is fixed, it will take root all the way to the end.
Ye Ming is also not sure if these two people can transform, and he wants to shoot.
On this day, as soon as Liu Xun and Sun Zhengxin came to the conference room, they saw two scripts on the table.
Sun Zhengxin and Liu Xun are not natives of Nanzhou, so they don't know much Cantonese.
took a cursory look at these two scripts, and both of them coincidentally chose "Family with Children" to read it in depth.
Fortunately, Ye Ming prepared in duplicate, and these two people didn't have to quarrel because they grabbed the script.
As soon as the two directors watched, they watched it for an hour.
Seeing their movements, Ye Ming couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, are you interested?" ”
Liu Xun was the first to shake his head: "I can't understand a script, and I'm too tired to read a script, but I still prefer to shoot documentaries." You also know that the style of documentaries is relatively simple and fixed, and it is very realistic, and I am not very suitable for shooting this kind of unit sitcom. ”
So he just looked at it, thinking about how powerful the script Gu Che came up with.
But maybe I really don't like unit sitcoms, so Liu Xun doesn't think these two scripts are excellent at all.
Sun Zhengxin knows a little, but he also doesn't like these two scripts very much.
"The drama "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" is about the broken family dog, which is more suitable for local directors to shoot, so as to shoot the charm of the local living family in Nanzhou.
For this script, I don't know much about the lives of people in Nanzhou, and I don't know the local dialect of Nanzhou, so I don't feel anything after reading it a few times. If I had to say anything, it felt pretty mediocre. ”
Sun Zhengxin added: "Of course, it is also related to how I shoot this kind of unit sitcom, I can't get the charm of it, instead of questioning the decisions made by the boss, I suggest that I still find a professional director to shoot this kind of director in this regard." ”
"And "Family with Children" I think is a little better than "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", but this is quite limited, compared with the blockbusters released by Gu Che in the past, it is too mediocre."
Sun Zhengxin asked curiously: "Is the boss sure he wants to shoot these two unit sitcoms?" ”
Before coming back, Ye Ming had already told the two of them the reason for coming.
There's a new job to do!
Originally, Sun Zhengxin thought that he was going to shoot a movie or TV series, but he never expected that it was actually a sitcom for the shooting unit, well, to be precise, it was quite related to comedy.
Xia Guo is not popular with such dramas at present, some people have filmed it, but they have never been able to get up, so Sun Zhengxin is not optimistic about Gu Che entering the industry.
He felt that with the time to write such a long and smelly script, it would be better to think about a few more movies or TV series.
Liu Xun heard Sun Zhengxin say this, and also said thoughtfully: "There are too few TV series like this on the market, if the boss really wants to do it, it is a proper pioneer, if it is popular, the share of the entire market is his, but if it is not popular, it is ...... it."
Liu Xun shrugged: "It doesn't matter if it's not popular, it's not popular anyway, it doesn't matter, netizens won't scold, they will only think that Gu Che wants to play a play." ”
Liu Xun thinks that the reason why netizens won't scold is very simple, this doesn't even seem to be a cross-border struggle, this is clearly playing tickets, and there is more money and panic.
If you can succeed, you will succeed, and if you can't succeed, you will not succeed.
Sun Zhengxin said directly: "But I don't think it will be hot." ”
The only two directors in the studio have given an ultimatum to these two sitcoms, and if they are not popular, they are not popular.
This made Ye Ming a little heart attack, is it so difficult?
It seems to be really difficult.
Ye Ming thought for a while and said, "That's it, do you have any familiar directors who recommend to me who are good at shooting like this." ”
Sun Zhengxin smiled: "This is really there, I have old classmates who like to shoot such sitcoms, I think it is novel, and it feels very convenient to shoot, there are not so many twists and turns." ”
Liu Xun also has a friend over there who can recommend.
This friend still works at the Penguin Film and Television headquarters.
Penguin film and television artists have a big career, and all types of directors are raised, and popular directors can make money, and if they don't shoot popular directors, they will take a dead salary and quietly make some extra money.
Ye Ming contacted these two people one by one and signed a confidentiality agreement before reading the script.
Although the person recommended by Liu Xun works in Zhongzhou, he is a native of Nanzhou, so the first thing Ye Ming showed him was "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang".
is different from the conclusion made by Liu Xun and Sun Zhengxin, this person highly admires this sitcom and thinks it is a classic.
"It's too powerful, it's too strong!"
"How can anyone be so strong!"
"Can you shoot this drama for me, I really want to shoot this drama, it doesn't matter if I resign from Penguin Films, do you still need a director in your studio?"
Liu Xun's former colleagues gave high recognition to "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang".
Not only Liu Xun's colleagues, but Sun Zhengxin's friends were also very interested in "Family with Children", and also raised the question of whether they could join Gu Che's studio.
Like such a good script, they all think that the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and outsiders may not be able to get it.
The attitudes of several directors were too different, and Ye Ming couldn't get his idea, so he reported it to Gu Che.
