Chapter 328: A Different Way
Isn't this kid a little too shrewd?
Before Ruan Ruolin's words were finished, Gu Bei actually guessed it again.
Before Gu Bei came, Hong Minsheng did tell Ruan Ruolin that he had this idea.
This year, CCTV's performance in TV dramas is too poor, and several new works have received mediocre responses, even director Yang Jie, who has just become popular all over the country with "Journey to the West", her new work "Spring Ashi" has not done well.
The rest are all films imported from local stations, as well as translated films.
Therefore, the pressure in the station is not small.
Hong Minsheng came up with this idea after watching the sample film of "Do You Know", since the first 35 episodes have been produced, why not broadcast it a year ago?
"Deputy Director Hong does have this idea, Xiao Gu, you are the director of "Know", do you think it is feasible?"
"Are you asking me?"
Gu Bei smiled, although it was said that Hong Minsheng had this idea, Ruan Ruolin also came to ask him for the director's opinion.
But he is a subordinate, can he refute the leader?
Therefore, Gu Bei's first reaction was not "whether it is feasible" at all, but how to operate.
Thirty-five episodes have been produced now, and the final plot is exactly a climax of the whole show.
King Yan rebelled.
The previous plot, from the very beginning, has done a lot of foreshadowing for the battle for the court's succession.
The emperor is getting older, the princes in the palace are dying one after another, and there is no candidate to inherit the great unification of the huge country, and the officials are worried that the emperor's sudden accident will cause a rebellion in the court.
When Sheng Hong first went to the court, the ministers asked the emperor to select a suitable person from the side branch clan as the prince, and the emperor, who had lost his son one after another, did not want to discuss the matter of establishing a prince, and there was a tug-of-war with the courtiers.
Because of the matter of establishing the prince, Bianjing City discussed the matter of the prince everywhere, and Sheng Changfeng was also known by the emperor because of his wit outside, and the Sheng family almost suffered a catastrophe.
and later, Mrs. Sheng and Minglan went back to their hometown in Youyang to visit relatives, and they encountered thieves one after another, all implying that there was no prince in the country and the court was unstable.
Later, Concubine Rong's sister Rong Feiyan was humiliated and committed suicide, and then King Yong forced Qi Heng to marry, these things seem to be the daughter's family fighting for marriage, but in fact, they are all secret contests of imperial power.
King Yong and King Yan are both candidates for the prince, King Yong needs to win over the family of Duke Qi and let the lord of Pingning beside the queen become his own side, and Concubine Rong chose to side with King Yan because of her sister Rong Feiyan.
And it was precisely the lord of Pingning who agreed to marry King Yong, so that the ministers of the court mistakenly thought that the emperor chose King Yong, this political battle, it seemed that King Yong won, but in fact he lost in the end.
For the sake of a Qi family with no real power, offended the most favored Concubine Rong, such a practice is simply to kill a thousand people and destroy eight hundred.
King Yong did not get the throne for a day, and Concubine Rong had the opportunity to avenge her sister.
In the end, King Yan and Concubine Rong conspired to rebel, and Concubine Rong took advantage of the great changes in the palace to trick Princess Yong and the county lord of Jiacheng into the inner palace, so that the mother and daughter were humiliated to death, and King Yong's line was completely destroyed.
The thirty-fifth episode happened to talk about the emperor being forced to pass on the throne by King Yan, and in desperation, he sent the little palace maid to Yuzhou to find Zhao Zongquan to return to Beijing to save the driver.
Before the little palace maid died, she handed over the blood edict and the talisman to Minglan who had just escaped from the palace.
Minglan went to Yuzhou alone to find Zhao Zongquan, was chased and killed by the rebels along the way, and was rescued by Gu Tingye, who arrived in time at a critical moment......
That's where the story goes.
It can be said that it left countless suspense for the audience.
The emperor and queen have been held hostage by King Yan, and the forbidden army has also rebelled with them, and although Zhao Zongquan rushed outside Bianjing City, he only brought more than ten followers, how to fight with King Yan?
And can Sheng Hong's father and son, who are trapped in the palace, escape and ascend to heaven?
This large number of buttons is enough to make the audience remember this year.
"I think it's doable!"
After a long time, Gu Bei finally spoke.
When Ruan Ruolin heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The final decision, of course, will not be Gu Beilai, but as a director, he knows this TV series best and has the most right to speak.
Since even Gu Bei agreed, Ruan Ruolin's heart was also steady.
"Leader, Deputy Director Hong didn't say anything, if the trial broadcast effect is good, when does the station plan to broadcast the first 35 episodes?"
"The details will be discussed again, but Lao Hong's opinion is to put it at the end of October."
End of October?
That is, less than a month to go.
And most importantly......
happened to collide with Jingtai's "Wanjun".
This is to artificially create a PK war!
Very good!
It had been an hour since Gu Bei came out of Mrs. Ruan's office.
"Wake up!"
Feng's pants, who were sleeping soundly, were awakened, and he looked at Gu Bei with sleepy eyes.
"Finished?"
Gu Bei answered, opened the door and got into the car.
"I'll leave it to you."
Feng rubbed his pants his face twice, and he felt a lot more energetic.
"You command!"
"Later, when you come to the crew, you and Zhang Li will go to the music copyright together."
Feng Pants was stunned, he had heard of this matter before, and he thought that Gu Bei would hand it over to him, but Gu Bei explained it to Zhang Li.
"Didn't you say before that you would wait until the next year, after our drama was broadcast?"
Gu Bei started the car: "The leader changed his mind just now, and he is going to try to broadcast three episodes in the next few days." ”
Pilot?
"That's settled?"
"Director Ruan and Deputy Director Hong decided together, there can still be fake, as soon as the trial episode is broadcast, the matter of music copyright will be able to operate."
This is easier said than done.
The easy thing is that good works don't have to worry about selling at all, but the difficult thing is that it's not easy to make money from them.
At present, the awareness of copyright in the field of audio-visual products in China is too weak, and basically new works are produced.
The interests of originality are not taken into account at all.
Therefore, I can only find that kind of big publishing house to work with.
If you sell out the copyright at one time, the profit is too small, and if you want to get a share, it's basically useless.
Why should I give you food in my bowl?
You can give money to buy food, but after it's cooked, no one wants to take a bite.
The status quo is such a fucked virtue.
Therefore, from the beginning, Gu Bei never thought that he could profit from it.
He is an employee of CCTV, and the works he creates are naturally owned by CCTV.
Look, CCTV is also the same "unreasonable".
"Okay, I'll go to Ye Jing to try this."
Gu Bei knew who Ye Jing was talking about, the last time he was on Gui Street, he met Wang Shuo and his party, and Ye Jing was among them.
Later, when people mentioned the Beijing circle, the first thing that came to mind was often Wang Shuo, as well as Wang Wang and others.
But the real bigwigs in the Beijing circle are not them at all.
The only ones who can afford the big guys are Ye Daying, Ye Jing, and then Zheng Xiaolong.
Wang Shuo's fame is great because the big guys are willing to praise him.
As for the big and small Wang brothers, they are not enough to see in this circle at all.
Feng's pants were also officially accepted after they became popular.
Ye Jing's background is deep and her path is wide.
Audiences who have watched the pioneering work of Feng Pants' New Year movie "Party A and Party B" should be deeply impressed by the part of the movie in which the military fans of the British Da actor ride in jeeps and encounter tank training on the road.
Being able to shoot this scene is Ye Jing's credit.
Otherwise, how can the film crew easily approach the training of people's tank troops.
From this, it cannot be seen that Ye Jing's energy is huge.
What's more, Ye Jing later personally filmed a TV series "Days Related to Youth", and most of the characters in it can find prototypes in the Beijing circle.
For example, the goods played by Tong Lei are the prototype of Feng pants.
Among them, he was extremely sarcastic, but Feng Pants didn't even dare to put a fart, and when the TV series was promoted, he even helped the platform.
"How it works is your business, as long as you can earn the money that the crew needs in the future."
Gu Bei didn't expect to make millions at once.
That's!
According to his expectations, there can be hundreds of thousands, which is enough for him to finish filming "Do You Know".
It's a different way.
After all, if you want to reach out to the table in the future, I'm afraid it will be very difficult.
Before and after, he has already thrown 5 million into the drama "Do You Know", although Gu Bei has been in the crew for a long time and rarely returns to Taiwan, he also knows that because of the money, many colleagues in the unit are red.
"Complete mission guaranteed!"
Feng Pants said with an extremely serious expression.
Back to the crew, the work has already started here, and Gu Bei went to find Ren General Assembly first.
I told the other party about the money.
"2 million? It's really fake! ”
After hearing this, Ren Dajun's first reaction was disbelief.
It's not that he arranges the leader of the unit, but he has been with so many crews before, and every time he is short of two pounds and two pounds when the station disburses money, how can there be any reason to give.
"Otherwise, we still have to try to make the center have more autonomy!"
Ren General Assembly didn't understand what Gu Bei meant: "What do you mean?" ”
"The money was approved by Director Ruan, and it is estimated that all the money at the bottom of the box has been taken out, if the station is really responsible, do you think it can be so happy."
Ren General Assembly reacted now, thinking about what Gu Bei said just now, it was really the truth.
Only when the production center has greater autonomy will it not be easy to be constrained in the future.
It's always a good thing to have a few mothers-in-law on your head.
"When will the money arrive?"
Gu Bei's face was full of helplessness: "Do you think Director Ruan can rest assured to give me the money?" ”
Seeing Gu Bei's appearance, Ren Dahui smiled: "In my opinion, Director Ruan did the right thing and gave you the money, who knows where you spent it!" ”
Hey!
This old man.
"Okay, I won't have anything to do with you, take the time to go to the unit quickly, and put the money in our own special account, so that we can rest assured!"
The embezzlement of special funds for other purposes has not appeared in CCTV before.
For example, the original crew of "Journey to the West" was supposed to be a good 3 million, but it turned out to be 1 million, and Director Yang Jie asked the station for money several times, but the above could be delayed, and in the end, it couldn't be delayed, only two or three hundred thousand, three hundred thousand yuan, and three hundred and forty thousand loans.
Later, I learned that the money left for the crew of "Journey to the West" was taken to the preparation team for the Spring Festival Gala.
What is this called?
was woken up by Gu Bei, how dare Ren General Assembly delay, call the driver of the crew, and rush back to the city.
Gu Bei sent Ren Huihui away, and then he went to the set.
"Zhang Li!"
Zhang Li was talking to Feng Pants when she heard Gu Bei calling her and trotted over.
"Teacher Gu, are you looking for me?"
Gu Beichao glanced at Feng's pants not far away, and said, "Let Lao Feng help you, no opinion, right?" ”
Zhang Li was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning of Gu Bei's words, and hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No...... No! ”
Since Gu Bei handed over the matter of music copyright to herself, Zhang Li has been preparing for this matter, and she has also contacted several publishing houses during this period.
Even in order to arouse the interest of the other party, Gu Bei was also revealed, the new works of the author of "My Motherland and Me" and "Unforgettable Tonight".
Well!
This girl is still very smart and knows how to take advantage of the situation.
So far, there are two interested parties, but the conditions proposed are very harsh.
The key is to give less money.
"It's good if you don't have it, Lao Feng knows a lot of people and has a wide range of channels."
It's all slippery whiskers!
"This matter is still up to you, and he assists you in making this thing happen."
Sister Bao is motivated, Gu Bei can't fight it.
What's more, in Gu Bei's future plan, Zhang Li is his own person, and he should take advantage of the past two years to cultivate more.
"I understand, just now Mr. Feng told me that he would take me to meet someone in the afternoon, but the crew ...... here"
Gu Bei smiled: "Don't worry, with me, what else are you worried about!" ”
When filming "Journey to the West", the conditions were so poor, Gu Bei was able to manage the entire crew in an orderly manner, Zhang Li and Feng Pants only left for half a day, could he still support it?
"Go ahead!"
After sending Zhang Li away, Gu Bei looked at today's work arrangement, and called Zhu Xiaofeng to explain again.
Then he took out a piece of manuscript paper and copied down the familiar melody according to the memories of his previous life.
Since it is going to be piloted, many of the actors in "Do You Know" will appear before the year.
With such a good publicity opportunity, Gu Bei naturally will not let it go.
He is also the consultant of this year's Spring Festival Gala!
I gave Huang Yihe a sketch book before, and I thought that this errand would be dealt with.
But now, Gu Bei decided that he should do more.
The crew of "Wanjun" used Jin Ming to build momentum before, and also diss Gu Bei, this careful eye has been thinking about how to repay.
Now the opportunity is here!
Let's see who has the last laugh.
At the same time, on CCTV's side, at the temporary meeting of the Ministry of Literature and Art, the broadcast time of "Do You Know" was also officially set.
On October 25, it was 5 days earlier than the broadcast time set by the drama "Wanjun" on Beijing and Taiwan.
If Gu Bei knew, he would definitely raise his hands in agreement.
Can't let poor romance dramas take the lead, as a reborn person, Gu Bei knows too well how terrifying the old lady will be once she hangs up.
When "Huanzhu Gege" was broadcast, all local stations were already on the stars, but in that environment, it got 47% of the national ratings.
Scary, isn't it?
Gu Bei doesn't want "Know" to become a stepping stone for "Wanjun".
Broadcast 5 days early, at least it can circle a wave of audiences.
Some people died, but not completely......
