Chapter 520: The Wind Rises in Texas

The book continues from the above:

It is said that when Gao Fei accompanied Liu Yifei to watch "Get Out~ Tumor", although he was ready for protection, he also brought any scarves, masks, sunglasses and the like.

But the eyes of the masses are always bright.

So as soon as the two of them got in the car, a suspected candid photo appeared on the Internet.

Seeing this situation, Liu Yifei had no choice but to cancel the follow-up plan sullenly.

Gao Fei saw that she was not very happy, and his heart moved, so he deliberately changed the topic and said:

"Now many netizens on the Internet are scolding me for being a scumbag, aren't you ready to be responsible as a producer?"

Hearing this, Liu Yifei immediately looked at him with an inexplicable expression and said:

"You're a scumbag, what's the matter with me?"

“(⊙o⊙)… Well, no, I'm talking about the role I played this time. ”

Gao Fei was stunned at first when he heard this, and then explained helplessly:

"Hasn't Han Li been paying attention to the public opinion of the movie, it is said that many netizens felt that the Dr. Liang I played was too cold-blooded after watching it, and in the end she was not with Xiong Dun, so she died with "regret", not to mention, and she didn't even attend Xiong Dun's funeral, which seemed too indifferent and heartless. ”

It's a coincidence, when "Fireworks in the Day" was released a while ago, because he sent a woman who loved him to prison, many netizens scolded him for being cold-blooded and ruthless.

I didn't expect to wait for the influence of "Fireworks in the Day" to pass, and "Get Out~ Tumor" was released again.

As a result, Gao Fei was scolded by the audience on the hot search again.

Thinking of this, Goofy couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

"I was scolded miserably this time, but this film is from the early script planning, to the post-production, editing, but you follow it again."

"It's always your responsibility, right, and you still say it's okay with you?"

Seeing Gao Fei say this, Liu Yifei was also a little speechless.

forgot his previous depression for a while, and instead defended himself with a look of grievance:

"Then I can't help it, doctors are not allowed to have feelings with patients in the first place!"

Speaking of this, Liu Yifei couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, before the filming of the movie started, she never wanted Xiong Dun to leave without regrets in the movie.

Even she felt that this rule was very impersonal.

After all, doctors are human beings and have human feelings, so why should we limit their emotions?

In the end, it was the medical consultant of the crew who had a heart-to-heart long conversation that convinced everyone.

In the words of the expert, it is precisely because doctors are ordinary people that this kind of rule is more necessary to restrain them – both a constraint and a protection.

In fact, in the medical field, all doctors, including psychologists, are not allowed to have feelings with their patients.

Because this is a weak psychological dependence, it is not necessarily love, once it is trapped, it will harm others and yourself.

After all, once mixed with personal feelings, doctors may not be able to objectively judge the condition.

This is not pure speculation, but there are many precedents.

And this is the reason why the vast majority of doctors habitually do not participate in the surgery of relatives.

So if Dr. Liang falls in love with Xiong Don in the movie, it can only show that he is unprofessional.

Made a mistake that no intern would ever make.

In this way, it is obviously unconvincing to let such a doctor be Xiongton's attending doctor, and there will be loopholes in the logic of the plot.

Therefore, among all kinds of workplace dramas, in fact, medical-related TV series are the most difficult to film.

Often insiders are full of loopholes at a glance, and even some plots will feel false even by laymen.

But then again, the audience's scolding is actually not entirely unreasonable.

At least when it comes to being "cold-blooded," most doctors have this trait.

Although doctors are also normal people, when they are used to seeing death, most doctors will gradually become rational and calm from being afraid, shocked, sad, and helpless at the beginning.

Even to some extent, this is a must-have requirement for a good doctor.

Otherwise, no matter how good his medical skills are, it won't take long to affect the psychological causes, and he has to leave the front-line work.

So Gao Fei was scolded this time, which can be regarded as sharing a little pressure for the majority of doctors.

……

……

The next day, when Goofy got off the plane again, he was already on the other side of the ocean.

It's just that after taking a deep breath, Gao Fei couldn't help but pouted and complained:

"I don't feel sweet, what kind of smell ~ is it sick?"

Hearing this, Han Li on the side couldn't help but laugh and said:

"Boss, rich air is sweet everywhere."

"It's not worth wasting time for that kind of goods, let's think about the next arrangement!"

In other words, Han Li didn't need to accompany Gao Fei to come to the United States.

But before leaving, Netflix suddenly took the initiative to find Zhou Yi Film and Television.

And when he learned that Gao Fei was about to come to the United States to film, he warmly invited them to come over to discuss cooperation.

This aroused Han Li's interest.

Looking at the exotic scenery outside the car window, Gao Fei was silent for a long time, and suddenly shook his head with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked:

"I won't be involved in this communication, you can go."

"But there is one thing, you can't invest money, I don't believe in Netflix's discipline."

"Although they have a stalemate with Hollywood, they are essentially the same."

Hearing this, Han Li immediately bowed slightly.

In fact, when Netflix proposed that plan at the beginning, Han Li didn't agree with it in her heart.

On the surface, Zhou Yi Film and Television + Penguin Pictures + Ahri Pictures + Wanda Pictures + Netflix = Netflix China.

But in fact, the logic of [content + platform + Internet = internationalization] is a big pie.

Netflix obviously wants to use this gimmick of film and television internationalization to tempt Zhou Yi's four film and television companies to pay.

It seems that each of them only needs to contribute 2.5 billion, and Netflix is very sincere in investing 5 billion.

But in fact, Netflix is taking 5 billion to get the investment amount of 10 billion from Huaxia Film and Television Company.

I have to say that Netflix's abacus is quite slippery.

At least Penguin, Ahri, and Wanda are really tempted.

It's just that Zhou Yi Film and Television, which is a key link, did not eat the bait of Netflix.

So in order to supplement the link of film and television content, Netflix contacted Huayi.

As far as Gao Fei knows, the Wang brothers really like these big guys to play together.

Even Mr. Wang, who felt that he was doing it again yesterday, still made a lot of nonsense at private gatherings.

What do you say, Huayi never cares about the gains and losses in front of them, and their brother's vision is an international vision.

Any drama is a drama, there is no pattern, you can't get on the stage, it's a set.

Anyway, to put it mildly, it is to forcibly save dignity.

I have to say that Xiao Wang is always professional in terms of funny, which really makes Gao Fei happy all day.

It's just that although Zhou Yi didn't eat the pie drawn by Netflix, the communication between the two sides was not interrupted.

In the nanny car, I saw Han Li chuckle with a confident face:

"Homemade dramas are not so easy to do, and Netflix obviously knows that.

"This year's actions show that they are not ready to go dark on the road of self-made dramas."

"So, it's not hard to guess their choice next, I don't think we should come in vain this time."

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but laugh:

"It's better to buy than to build, I know, the old craftsmanship of ancient and modern China and foreign countries."

That's what the Manchu compradors thought a hundred years ago, and it will still be the case a hundred years later.

I have to say that the vitality of some things is really as strong as a cockroach in a stinky gutter.

Of course, compared with those comprador families who are "full of loyalty", Netflix still has some real skills.

At least the "House of Cards" was filmed really well the year before last.

Although the political ecology and code of conduct of China and foreign countries are different, some points are common.

In particular, the show's producer, Bauer Willimon, is politically savvy in his own right.

You must know that before entering the film and television industry, he used to be an assistant to Charles Schumer, Howard Dean and Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton.

It can be said that no one knows the real life of politicians better than him.

Although there are some things that involve secrecy as well as the reasons for the small life can not be said,

But some of the ways in the political arena of the United States, he put them into "House of Cards" in a different way.

This is also why when "House of Cards" was broadcast the year before last, certain politicians were also attracted.

even lamented that some of the hero's countermeasures are really feasible!

It is precisely these special features that made "House of Cards" explode around the world not long after it was launched.

It can be said that it was the victory of this "House of Cards" that made Netflix full of confidence in the future of self-made dramas, so it entered the original content market in an extremely high-profile way.

Last year alone, it was enough to burn billions of dollars on self-made dramas.

Of course, this is also chosen by Netflix itself.

After all, the average production cost per episode of the first season of "House of Cards" was as high as $4.5 million.

It can be said that Netflix has been bloodied by Hollywood for many years, and this time it would rather burn money to make a drama than burn money to buy a drama.

But a large part of the success of "House of Cards" is actually due to the extremely high quality of the original book.

So it's not that as long as you are willing to burn money, there will definitely be a good drama.

In this regard, Netflix actually made the same mistakes as Ahri and Penguin.

If nothing else, let's just say that at the beginning of last year, Netflix's self-made drama "Marco Polo", which was titled "the most expensive online drama in history", sparked heated discussions at home and abroad as soon as it was broadcast.

This American drama, which is full of slots in the eyes of Chinese netizens, has also suffered Waterloo in Europe and the United States.

You must know that the production cost of the first season of "Marco Polo" is more expensive than "House of Cards".

The average cost of filming an episode is around $9 million.

It can be said that on the project "Marco Polo" alone, Netflix lost 200 million US dollars.

But if you lose, you can pay for it, with Netflix's wealth, you can pay the tuition.

But the point is that there are several more money-losing goods like this Netflix in their hands.

For example, the first web drama "Super Sense Hunting" by the Wachowski sisters cost about $9 million to produce a single episode;

As for "The Rhythm of Youth", although it is neither popular nor popular, the cost is not less at all.

The 12 episodes of the first season cost $120 million.

So you can't blame Netflix for cutting the original drama this year.

After all, no matter how big the family is, it can't afford to lose so much money and burn money!

This is also the reason why Netflix, which was still in high spirits the year before last to implement the strategy of self-made dramas, suddenly made a strategic U-turn this year.

Of course, even if the self-made drama is unreliable, Netflix is unlikely to go back.

After all, they have seen the group of vampires in Hollywood, so it is better to burn money to make dramas.

So after several measurements, Netflix turned its attention to global film and television companies.

As the world's second largest film market, Huaxia has naturally become the focus.

At least when Han Li was tempting before, she found that Netflix was quite interested in several of Zhou Yi's dramas.

In particular, Zhouyi's stable output ability with quality and quantity has made Netflix pay more attention.

And then things are development, and sure enough, it doesn't happen.

……

When the crew of "Burst Drummer" was filming in Houston, there was good news from Han Li's side.

"Haha~ Boss, it's done."

"Several of the company's online dramas have all been sold, and a follow-up purchase agreement has also been signed."

Hearing this, Gao Fei, who was resting in the nanny car, suddenly couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

He thought it would be good to sell a few copies, but he didn't expect Han Li to clear the inventory.

Thinking of this, Gao Fei couldn't help but ask a few curious questions.

And after listening to Han Li's explanation, Gao Fei couldn't help but laugh and said:

"You really follow the local customs, and you can learn the Hollywood routine."

However, it is a traditional Hollywood craft to sell good movies with bad movies.

So Han Li did this, although Netflix was a little helpless, but it accepted it quite quickly.

At most, it is to lament that Huaxia's film and television companies are as black-hearted as Hollywood.

It's just that what really made Netflix agree to Han Li's cooperation conditions was actually because Zhou Yi's content production ability was strong enough.

Han Li is also very clear about this.

So after a few words of conversation and laughter, Han Li on the other end of the phone said seriously, "

"Because of the problem of Chinese and foreign film viewing habits, we decided to cooperate on specific themes first."

"For example, suspense, reasoning, war and other fields that do not have much threshold for watching films will focus on projects."

"Netflix will participate in the investment of these projects, and the overseas copyright belongs to them, and the domestic copyright belongs to the company."

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but smash his mouth a few times, and said with emotion:

"Alas! It's a bit of a covetous, but it's also a waste utility. ”

"Not to mention an extra income, it can be regarded as an increase in the overseas popularity of the actor!"

Seeing that Gao Fei also recognized her idea, Han Li immediately smiled and said:

"Well, that's what I thought too!"

"And with Netflix's investment, we can also start some big-production web dramas."

"At least the pressure to return to the cost is not as great as it used to be!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but bow slightly.

Yes, that's true!

You must know that to a certain extent, the essence drama is to use high cost and high investment.

Therefore, once Zhou Yi once again improves the sophistication of the drama, then the industry threshold formed invisibly is enough to make the latecomers despair.

Because even if their production level is as strong as Zhou Yi, they may not dare to play so big.

After all, Zhou Yi has Netflix on his side, but other domestic film and television companies only have the domestic market to make a profit.

Therefore, "excellence" is about to become the nirvana of Zhou Yi Film and Television.

Now many film and television peers in the circle are already complaining that Zhou Yi is "playing hooligan".

Because of this kind of upright conspiracy, there is no solution at all except for this side of the response.

So in this way, Zhou Yi's cooperation with Netflix this time can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone. (End of chapter)
