Chapter 67: I'm an upright man

Song Yi got off the plane, chatted with Tang Wanqing in the car for a while, and then arrived at the company.

It's past nine o'clock in the evening.

But the inside of the office building is still brightly lit.

It was the first time Song Yi had seen the scene of his company's colleagues working overtime, after all, he had hinted at commuting to work before, and he couldn't see it if he wanted to.

He looked at the scene in front of him and sighed with emotion.

used to be a social animal, although he is still a social animal, but he is a senior social animal, 9 to 5, and there is no 996 blessing.

He is not in it to live, but to experience it.

This is a qualitative change.

After Song Yi arrived at the office, he said hello to his colleagues, and then on the delivery software of his mobile phone, he lavished a supper for everyone.

When he came to Director Li's office, Song Yi skillfully sat on the chair opposite Director Li and gave the USB flash drive in his hand to the leader.

"Director Li, this is the 1-2 episodes of our "Golden Branch Desire"."

Director Li got up and poured Song Yi a cup of coffee, took the USB flash drive over easily, and said with a smile: "I'm tired of calling you back in such a hurry, right?" There was no way, and the person who declared there told me that for some reasons, the leaders of the relevant departments temporarily changed the time. ”

"It's okay, it's all for business."

Director Li asked with concern: "You and Director Zhang have also worked for more than a week, how do you feel?" Did this scene go well? ”

"It's okay, it's relatively smooth, his requirements are very high, and his professionalism is also very strong, but his temper is a little rushed."

Song Yi smiled: "But the effect of the shooting has met my expectations." ”

"Director Zhang Jianzhong is like this, his temper is famous, just get used to it.

He was born in a professional class, became famous as a teenager, and has continuously made good works in the film and television industry over the years, repeatedly achieved good results, and his reputation is getting better and better. ”

"I understand."

Song Yi nodded and said, "Before looking for him, I had already read his information on the Internet. ”

"That's good, so in terms of the quality of the TV series, I'm not too worried about you."

Director Li hesitated, and then said: "However, I am a little worried about you and Director Zhang using this method of broadcasting and filming this time. ”

"Why?"

"First, because this is the first time in the country, the time for filming while filming is very demanding, that is, the fault tolerance rate is very low, during the middle filming, if there is a slight problem with your crew, it will easily lead to a broadcast accident and cannot be updated normally."

After hearing this, Song Yi said: "This point has been taken into account by Director Zhang and I, so we have left a little buffer time for ourselves.

We're in a hurry now, and we're not going to play until the sixth episode at the beginning, so we have a three-week buffer period to deal with the unexpected. ”

"Then the second point, have you ever considered that your mode of broadcasting and filming will greatly increase the filming cost of the whole show?"

Director Li explained: "Originally, our initial estimate of the cost of your drama was no more than 20 million, but now that you are doing this, I will probably calculate the cost of filming for you, and it will be directly increased by one-half, that is, close to 30 million." ”

"......" Song Yi.

At this point, to be honest, he really didn't think of it at first.

It wasn't until the entire crew found out about the problem after a week of filming.

He thought it would be three or four million at most.

Now when I hear Director Li's words, I am indeed a little surprised, I didn't expect that there would be so much extra money.

"Hey, you have a headache about this, Manager Huang."

Director Li said kindly: "The sudden increase in the cost of the script made her a little dissatisfied with you in her heart, and it is estimated that she will not be able to approve the extra money." ”

"It's fine."

Song Yi replied: "The company doesn't support it, I will find a way to finance it myself, and then find someone to raise it." ”

"Xiao Song...."

Director Li said: "Why don't you listen to my brother's advice, don't do anything while filming and broadcasting, just finish filming and then broadcast it at one time, okay?" If you do this, the risk is really big.

Although your script is good and the director is good, the style and type of your drama are too unpopular, and if you put it on the market, if the audience doesn't pay for it, there is a great chance of losing money.

And about your drama, our company has already revealed some news to the outside in the early stage, and it is not good to receive feedback. ”

Song Yi hasn't really paid much attention to this news recently.

He asked curiously, "Director Song, tell me, what is the feedback?" ”

"In the film and television industry, many famous film critics, directors, and Internet celebrities have vaguely said that maybe this time Director Zhang's peculiar solo trip is likely to lead to dismal ratings because he does not use stars with top traffic and does not meet the taste of the market."

"Since Director Li, you are talking about this, I just happened to tell you."

After Song Yi took a sip of coffee, he said: "I have made up my mind about the mode of filming and broadcasting, no matter whether I lose or earn, I will shoot like this, I just want Director Li to ask the media to start helping me before broadcasting, just take advantage of the fact that everyone is watching our jokes, stir up this topic again, buy a few hot searches, and try to make it known to everyone." ”

"......" Director Li.

"I have two breaking points in the topic, one is Director Zhang Jianzhong himself, who has been in retreat for three years and the king has returned; The other is the play itself. ”

The first Director Li can understand, after all, Director Zhang Jianzhong is very famous, and he has a great sense of topicality.

But the second .....

He asked, "Assistant Song, what's the breaking point of the second one?" ”

"Of course, it's some lace news, and the favorite thing of the people who eat melons."

Song Yi said with a meaningful smile: "You just quietly released the news to the outside world that according to insiders, for the role of this play, a well-known actress once knocked on the screenwriter's door in the middle of the night. ”

“......”

After listening to this, Director Li was stunned and looked at Song Yi with some surprise.

I didn't expect him to be a newcomer, and he would use these tricks to create hot spots and topics.

Anyway, this kind of thing is all rumors, and no one can find out whether it is true or false.

"It's a good note, I'll arrange someone to operate this matter tomorrow."

After speaking, Director Li suddenly stared at Song Yi, and asked tentatively with a smile: "Xiao Song, could it be that this matter is not fake, but someone really knocked on your door in the middle of the night, right?" ”

"Nope!"

Song Yi shook his head and denied: "I am an upright person. ”

"Well... I can see it. ”

The corners of Director Li's mouth twitched, as if the person who wanted to spread rumors and create a topic by himself just now was not you.

"That's right, Director Li."

Song Yi suddenly remembered something and asked, "There should be no problem with the review of our film, right?" I'm afraid that in the end, if we shoot it and get stuck on the review, it will be a headache. ”

Because in his previous life, Song Yi knew that too many TV series were filmed, but in the end, they were all inexplicably stuck on the review and could not be played.

As for the reason, I understand it all.

"In general, there are no problems."

Director Li explained: "First, your background is an empty background, which does not involve reality, and second, your drama is broadcast on our own platform, not on various David TV, it belongs to the platform's self-made online drama, in terms of review, it is not so strict, it is all a formality and routine."

At this point, don't worry, we have been dealing with them for so long, and they are very familiar with each other, even if there are a bit of violations in the plot, there is no problem. ”

"Okay, with Director Li's words, I'm relieved."

Song Yi finished drinking coffee, got up and said with a smile: "After the matter is finished, I will go back first, before coming, I will quietly order a little supper for everyone in your name by the way to fill your stomach."

The things may be delivered later, but Director Li will help me keep it secret, don't say anything. ”

"Okay, I'll thank Assistant Song for everyone."

"It's all colleagues, as it should be."

Director Li looked at Song Yi who opened the door and left, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This kid is a very good person!
