Chapter 459: The Advantages of the Old Seniors [Two in One] [Asking for a Monthly Pass]
"Do anti-Japanese dramas?"
When he heard Jiang Hong actually make such a suggestion, Gao Fei on the other side of the phone couldn't help but be stunned.
To be honest, if it hadn't been talked about for so long, Goofy would have wondered if she had been kidnapped.
It's just that Jiang Hong's next words suddenly made Gao Fei dumbfounded.
……
For the anti-Japanese drama, Gao Fei was originally 10,000 people who couldn't watch it.
After all, some anti-Japanese dramas are really getting more and more filmed now, some female soldiers are even dressed up more glamorous than prostitutes, and the male actors are even wearing hairspray that does not move at all, and flies can't stand steadily.
Those who know understand that this is on the battlefield, and those who don't know think that they are going to the ball.
As for the speechless plots such as "hand-torn devils", "bun grenades", "bullet turns", "smoking cigars", "wearing short skirts", "living in a villa", etc., there are too many to mention.
By the way, the most outrageous thing Gao Fei remembers is an anti-Japanese war drama called "Anti-Japanese Heroes".
The bicycles ridden by the guerrillas were not only able to take off directly and fly to the top of the train, but also successfully intercepted the train by pulling the train barrier and dodging the incoming bullets.
(⊙o⊙)… To be honest, when Newton came to this plot, he had to give the screenwriter a knock.
Gao Fei doesn't know if the screenwriter and director have ever thought that if our guerrillas were really so good at the beginning, then why did they fight against Japan for so many years?
Could it be that we are still preserving our strength?
It's just that no matter how Gao Fei complains in his heart, this can't stop Hengdian from killing "1 billion devils" a year.
It is precisely for this reason that in the past, when Gao Fei took over the film, he rarely encountered some anti-Japanese war films.
After all, even if there are no gods in his character script, who can guarantee that the director will not add them later?
So for the sake of his own reputation, and in order to be a few years late, Gao Fei still stays away from this kind of subject.
However, after listening to Gao Fei's words, Jiang Hong did not refute it, but talked about the so-called "anti-Japanese drama" from another angle.
……
There are some exaggerated techniques in film and television dramas, but in fact, they are normal operations in the circle at the beginning.
At that time, neither the industry nor the audience felt that there was anything wrong.
Therefore, there is no such thing as "anti-Japanese drama" and "anti-Japanese thunder drama".
For example, in the Anti-Japanese War movie "Raise Your Hands" filmed by Guo Da and Pan Changjiang, many of the scenes are very exaggerated.
If it is put in the present, it will definitely not escape the label of "divine drama".
But then again, the reason why the original filmmakers filmed like this was that their ideas were different from the current crew.
At the end of the day, they just want to create a comedic effect through exaggeration.
Therefore, over the years, classic anti-Japanese TV series such as "Bright Sword", "Wolf Smoke Beiping", "My Regiment Leader, My Regiment", "The Sky of History", "The Right Way in the World is the Vicissitudes of Life", "My Brother is Shunxi" and other anti-Japanese classic TV series are still emerging in endlessly.
But since the anti-Japanese drama has appeared, there is naturally a reason for it.
Therefore, Jiang Hong did not argue with Gao Fei about the rights and wrongs of the anti-Japanese drama in terms of content, but analyzed Gao Fei from the perspective of the market.
For some well-known reasons, many themes of domestic dramas cannot be filmed.
In this way, the subject matter that can be chosen is naturally nothing more than that.
But after a long time, I couldn't shoot any flowers over and over again.
Under such circumstances, the emergence of the "anti-Japanese drama" was born.
Why?
Because if the major film and television companies can shoot it, the types that the older generation of audiences love to watch are those.
And among these options, the risk of review of anti-Japanese dramas is undoubtedly the smallest.
So this is the great popularity of spy war dramas and anti-Japanese war dramas in recent years.
It can be said that it was precisely because of the market demand that there was the later "anti-Japanese drama"
Of course, at the beginning, the anti-Japanese drama was actually not badly filmed.
Even because the early batch of people who made anti-Japanese dramas were all old teams from state-owned studios in various places.
Therefore, both the level of the shot and the content of the script are above the horizontal line.
However, with the increasing market demand, the old team of state-owned factories is gradually in short supply.
It just so happened that at that time, Xiangjiang and the director of Wanwan began to go north for the second time to seek a living.
Therefore, Lang had a concubine on his mind, and the two soon hooked up.
A small and medium-sized film and television company immediately cooperated with a Hong Kong and Taiwan director who went north.
As a result, some Hong Kong and Taiwan director teams who were originally accustomed to filming "idol dramas", "romance dramas" and "martial arts dramas" began to take the lead in filming anti-Japanese war dramas with bullets and bullets.
Because these people are the kind who only ask for money and not fame, and they just leave with one vote.
Therefore, I naturally don't think about it so much when filming, and I still habitually put the old routine in the anti-Japanese war drama.
In this way, the "anti-Japanese drama" was born.
is like the "Anti-Japanese Heroes" mentioned by Gao Fei earlier, its director Liu Shiyu is TVB's gold medal producer and director.
As for "Arrow on the String" that "after the second female was wheeled*, the small universe suddenly exploded, and she automatically put on her pants and shot the Japanese soldiers", its director Yu Mingsheng is also a big director from Xiangjiang.
As for Lin Jianzhong, the bent director who is known as the first person in the "anti-Japanese drama", he is not inferior to his colleagues in Xiangjiang.
The scene in "Hero's Mission" where he "stood on the top of the mountain and smashed down the Japanese plane with a stone" was the one he came up with.
It can be said that it is such a group of directors who have made great contributions to the reputation of the "anti-Japanese drama".
Of course, you can't blame all the pot on the Hong Kong and Taiwan teams.
Because when this limelight rose, many film and television teams in the mainland with average ability, average connections, and average pursuits also went to shoot "anti-Japanese dramas" in order to survive.
Not to mention, although the anti-Japanese war drama filmed in this way is shoddy, it has a short cycle and fast money.
It can be said that both the crew and the producer are very satisfied.
Even the TV station is 10,000 satisfied with this.
Don't look at these "anti-Japanese dramas", whether in the paper media or on the Internet, the word of mouth is rotten.
But in fact, the ratings of these dramas are not bad.
For example, "Anti-Japanese Heroes" of "Tearing Devils" was the ratings champion of many TV stations back then.
Although this situation may seem absurd, if you look closely, it is not surprising.
Because the mainstream audience of "Anti-Japanese Drama" is mainly the older generation of viewers in the age group of 40 to 60 years old.
And this age group is actually the main candidate for mastering the remote control in families across the country at the moment.
So no matter how badly the young people scolded at night, it was insignificant to them.
Because their target audience was not young people and those film and television critics from the beginning.
When it comes to this, Jiang Hong speaks directly with data.
"Although in the procurement of major TV stations, the head TV series are still produced by major film and television companies, but the anti-Japanese drama is the largest number of purchases."
"This kind of purchase intention is enough to explain a lot of problems, if nothing else, the backlog risk of TV dramas alone will be greatly reduced, because this kind of drama is not worried about selling at all!"
As soon as these words came out, Goofy was suddenly silent.
And Jiang Hong on the other end of the phone didn't stop, and immediately continued:
"By the way, boss, according to my preliminary investigation, the current price of this kind of drama in the first round is basically 3-5 million per episode, and the second round of broadcast episodes can sell for 2 million."
The profit margin of many popular "anti-Japanese dramas" is as high as 200%. ”
"That's a lot of money."
……
I have to say that Gao Fei was a little moved by Jiang Hong's words.
So when he hung up the phone, Goofy immediately sat down in his chair and muttered.
From the CFO's point of view, she was not wrong in this advice.
As far as she said, almost all of the people who are filming anti-Japanese dramas now are making a lot of money in silence.
So it's no wonder that she suggested that the company should also get involved in this business.
But Gao Fei is different from her, and the two consider the problem from different angles after all.
She can only see profit in her eyes, but Goofy cannot.
As the enterprise with the highest market value of domestic film and television companies, although it has not yet reached the point of executing the industry.
But Zhou Yi Film and Television's every move has a great influence in the circle.
Otherwise, after Gao Fei became Dream Valley Pictures, it would not have attracted so many companies to become interested in animated films.
Therefore, Gao Fei had to consider the impact of the industry and the impact of society.
After all, if Zhou Yi's reputation is damaged, then the profit of the anti-Japanese drama is really not enough to make up for the stock price loss.
Of course, Jiang Hong's suggestion is not completely without merit.
At least she pointed out a blind spot for Goofy, which he had been ignoring all along.
This made Gao Fei can't help but have some thoughts about watching war dramas.
Just like before Goofy was going to fill Zhou Yi's film genre with animated films and sci-fi films.
Gao Fei is also preparing to expand the category of Zhouyi TV series at present.
At least in addition to online dramas, Zhou Yi can no longer blindly rely on Xianxia dramas and costume dramas to win the world.
After all, although these two types of dramas seem to be beautiful at the moment, who can guarantee that there will be no problems in the future!
It's always good to have more cards in your hand anyway.
Thinking like this, Gao Fei couldn't help but bow slightly, and immediately had a plan in his heart.
……
……
At the same time, just as Goofy made up his mind, he found that his surroundings had quieted down for some time.
Wan Qian and Chen Daoming, who were originally discussing the drama, didn't know why they were looking at him at the moment.
By the way, there is also a Yang Mi who also looks confused.
However, before he could speak, he saw Chen Daoming suddenly frown slightly and said:
"If you believe me...... I advise you not to touch that thing! ”
Gao Fei couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then realized what Chen Daoming's "that thing" was referring to, and immediately couldn't help but smile.
It seems that he spoke a little loud just now, and even Chen Daoming heard it.
However, his reaction made Chen Daoming misunderstand, thinking that he didn't take it seriously, so he immediately turned a little more serious.
"I'm not kidding you."
"Recently, a few proposals have been going through the process, if nothing else, the General Administration will soon have relevant policies for this area."
"If you believe me, don't wade into this troubled water!"
Hearing this, Gao Fei hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"Teacher Chen, I didn't mean that, you misunderstood."
"I was just thinking about how to make an anti-Japanese war drama in a formal manner."
Seeing Gao Fei say this, Chen Daoming understood, so he immediately shook his head with a smile and said:
"Hey~ blame me, it's me who thinks too much."
Gao Fei naturally didn't take it seriously when he heard this, after all, Lao Chen's reminder was a real golden and good word.
Therefore, even if Chen Daoming misunderstood, Gao Fei still understood his kindness.
However, because of this stubble, Gao Fei knew that Chen Daoming had an opinion on those "anti-Japanese dramas" early on.
Even several times when interviewed by reporters, he publicly stated that he would never act in this kind of TV series in his life.
Even now, Chen Daoming is still quite indignant when he talks about this matter.
"When I used to film, I knew that 'you can't act like this, it's very inconsistent with the facts', but now it's better, the more nonsense, the better."
After saying that, Chen Daoming couldn't help but shake his head slightly, and said helplessly:
"In the past, an actor was like a play, but now, an actor is a play!"
can make a person like Chen Daoming who is so high to the bone say such a thing, which shows how angry he is at this matter.
……
In fact, even without Chen Daoming's reminder, Gao Fei was not ready to do an "anti-Japanese drama".
However, after his words, he did become more and more determined in Goofy's idea.
So Gao Fei held a small-scale conference call that night, and finally decided to try to expand the genre of film and television dramas first.
It's okay to be slow, but it must be steady!
In short, it is a sentence: it is better to have word of mouth than a gold cup.
After all, Zhou Yi can have today's reputation, which is really hard to come by.
Coincidentally, just after Zhou Yi formed a consensus internally, within a few days, the General Administration issued a "22 military order" to ban the broadcast of anti-Japanese thunder dramas.
So suddenly, I don't know how many small and medium-sized film and television companies in the circle have closed down overnight.
As for the crew that disbanded halfway through filming, there are too many to mention.
This turmoil has even affected TV stations, and many TV station directors have been implicated.
It can be said that the stick of the General Administration has come down, and I don't know how many people's dreams of getting rich have been shattered.
