"Actor, please take your seat?"

"Acting?"

Li Xiaoping pondered Wu Yuan's proposal, and her eyes immediately lit up.

This is indeed a very gimmicky variety show idea.

If you cooperate with new media such as Weibo and do online and offline linkage, it is very likely to become a variety show that the whole people pay attention to.

It's like a sensation like "Super Girl" back then!

Among the variety shows in the mainland, only "Super Girl" that year caused a sensational effect like a heated discussion among the whole people, and Li Yuchun won the championship with 3.52 million SMS votes that year.

The runner-up Zhou Bi-chang also received 3.2 million votes, and the third runner-up Zhang Liangying also received 1.3 million votes.

These are all SMS voting, which will be in 2005, which is equivalent to real money voting.

In total, nearly 8 million SMS votes were cast, which equates to at least 80 million people watching the live broadcast of the Grand Finals, and possibly more than 100 million.

Since then, there has never been a talent show that has received such attention.

And Li Yuchun, the champion of the first "Super Girl" that year, also had a high gold content.

Two years ago, when Sina Weibo first started trial operation, Li Yuchun was the first batch of artists to settle in, and with the support of fans, Li Yuchun directly dominated the hot search list on the screen and became the first batch of artists with the largest number of fans.

Her Baidu post bar "Li Yuchun Bar" has also ranked first in the entertainment category of Tieba for many years, and even "Corn Bar (her fans)" can also enter the top ten.

This kind of phenomenal, star selected through variety talent shows has been just one for decades, and it is difficult to replicate it.

But if the era of light and shadow finds another way and engages in a variety show that is not a singer, but an actor, with its novelty of the same "first" as "Super Girl", it may be possible to reproduce this miracle and create a myth that is not inferior to Li Yuchun!

And the actors selected through variety shows and national voting in this way may be the style of superstars, and if they can maintain it in the future, they will become the actors and actresses cultivated by themselves in the era of light and shadow!

The cost will not be very high, but once it is successful, the benefits are very high!

It's a good deal!

"I see." Li Xiaoping's eyes lit up and nodded: "I will implement the production plan of this variety show as soon as possible." ”

"Hmm." Wu Yuan said with satisfaction: "Pull on the light and shadow fast broadcast, find another TV station, and do the network station synchronous broadcast." ”

"The company can set up a variety show department, and in the next few years, variety shows will be a blue ocean."

Doing variety shows, at least in the first few years of the blue ocean, is definitely a good business with less investment and more money, and it makes no sense not to mix it in the era of light and shadow.

Wu Yuan doesn't like to be on variety shows, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't like to make money, these are two different things.

"Actors, Please Be in Place" is just the first step, and you can also do some well-known and wonderful variety shows such as "National Treasure" in the future.

"There is also the company's young director support plan, which must be implemented and launched this year, and it can't be delayed any longer." Wu Yuan added.

"Just these two things, the other daily operations of the company, you can just watch and do it yourself."

"By the way, how is my crew?"

"Don't worry, they're all veterans who made movies for you before." Li Xiaoping gestured OK, "I've notified you all of them, you don't need any special effects for your new movie this time, you can gather everyone as soon as you say hello." ”

"It's a matter of scenery, you have to go and see it yourself, the assistant director is afraid that the selected scenery will not match your mind."

"Kanjing, don't be so troublesome." Wu Yuan shrugged his shoulders: "This time I went to the magic capital to shoot." ”

"I'll go to the magic capital to find a well-preserved old bungalow, and then shoot on the street of the magic capital film and television base."

The background of this "Love Letter" is half of the modern city, and half of it is the Republic of China period eighty or ninety years ago.

If you want to say which place in the country has the most feeling of the Republic of China, it is, of course, the ten-mile house in the magic capital.

Since the time of "Deep Love and Rain", the magic capital has become the only designated filming location for domestic filming of Republic of China dramas, and Hengdian has to rank second.

For this reason, the magic capital has specially built a film and television base of the Republic of China to serve the major crews across the country.

As long as the crew is pulled over, you can directly shoot "Love Letter", and you don't need to work hard to see the scenery everywhere in the country.

"And the boot date?" Li Xiaoping asked again.

Wu Yuan had already informed the company of the project "Love Letter".

This movie is very simple, there are only three people in the leading role, a Wu Yuan male protagonist, a Liu Yifei female protagonist, plus half of the heroine's maid and half of the male protagonist's mother.

The remaining roles only appear in a few scenes, such as the heroine's parents, the heroine's blind date, etc., and there is no need for special casting, Wu Yuan just needs to find a few actors who have worked with him before to make cameos.

He said hello to Song Dandan and Fan Wei, and asked them to come and make a cameo appearance for three or five days.

It can be said that as long as Wu Yuan is willing, this movie can be started at any time.

"It's time to boot up, let's start it after Sissi finishes it." Wu Yuan thought for a while and said, "Qianqian won't finish until the end of April, so "Love Letter" will be launched in early May. ”

"This movie is easy to make, and it is estimated that it will be completed in more than a month, and it will not take more than two months at most."

"Think of it as a relaxing work, just like director Yimou filmed "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" and "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" at that time."

Li Xiaoping was secretly amused, for Zhang Yimou, "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" is not a casual and relaxing work, but a professional Waterloo, the kind that will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

It's not good, Director Wu won't make a bad movie that lets himself go, right?

From entering the industry to the present, Wu Yuan has not made a bad movie for ten years, it seems that he should miss it once, right?

"That." Li Xiaoping was a little worried, and just as she wanted to speak, she was interrupted by Wu Yuan: "Don't worry, I'm just making an analogy, I won't really make a movie like "Three Guns Shooting Surprise". ”

"It's not a comedy, it's just a romantic drama, and although it may not be as good as "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", I believe it won't be bad."

"I don't want to be as popular in Asia as the Japanese version of "Love Letter", but it should achieve a good result in China."

Although "Love Letter" is a script written by Wu Yuan himself, he is a person who understands and knows the development of mainland films in the next ten years.

Nowadays, people in the industry are generally not optimistic about romance films, believing that romance films cannot be sold well, and the general environment does not accept romance dramas.

But Wu Yuan knows that small-budget commercial romance films have always had a market, and in addition to comedies, they are the most likely to be a dark horse.

Otherwise, "Those Years" would not have exploded.

It's just that the audience's acceptance of romance films is different from what industry insiders think.

Everyone just doesn't like the so-called love art films that are common now, with young people's diseases, love-hate entanglements, and constant sadomasochism.

Your little fresh romance film that is simple and straightforward and touches people's hearts is bought by a lot of people!
