Chapter 5: Not Coming (5/5)

"I just got off the plane and heard that you were promoting in Shanghai, so I rushed over. ”

Shen Mengxi explained.

Ning Hao was surprised: "Why did you come to Shanghai?"

"The company decided to develop a variety project, and it is negotiating with SMG, so I'll go over and take a look..."

"Variety?"

"Talent show, singing..."

"Is the draft promising?"

"There should be, I did the planning, it's quite novel... It's called "The Voice of China", and the mentor blindly selects the contestants according to their voices, and then puts them together for PK..."

Shen Mengxi said casually, and then shifted the topic to "The Monitors": "I read the comments, and they all said that the scene is very big, the logic is online, and the popcorn movie is high-quality!"

"But there are also a lot of things that say that there is no human touch and no human nature!"

A group of self-righteous people still think that they have more humanity and depth, and movies are meant to entertain the public, and the commercial film market has not been done, so they go to art and high-end, who will raise your art and your high-end? These people just don't understand, how can there be non-mainstream without mainstream, and where can art come from art? Do a good job in mainstream and business, and then talk about non-mainstream and art. ”

Shen Mengxi suddenly scolded...

The people in the car were stunned, what's wrong?

Ning Hao asked cautiously, "Did you step on your tail?"

"It's okay, I just feel speechless, I received the news that by next year at the latest, the Sino-US film agreement will have to be signed, and at least more than ten more accounts will be added, and the already precarious market..."

"Is the message accurate?"

"Well, Tong Ju told me, he is also very helpless!"

Immediately, Shen Mengxi continued: "... It's all this kind of premise, what do you still say about human nature, how can there be no humanity, justice defeats evil, not called humanity?"

Brother Xiao Ming interjected: "They think that the victory of evil over justice is called humanity!"

“... Don't talk about it, you still have to go to the Golden Harvest Cinema Line, get to the place, I'll get off first!"

"You're not with us?"

“... I'll go see Xu Zheng and take a look at Tao Hong on the way..."

"By the way?"

"There's a TV series that wants to find her..."

......

"The Watchers", the plot is very simple, and the plot is probably copied from "Tracking".

With the little-known police monitoring team hidden in the city as the lead, the gangsters robbed the gold store to open the plot, and the tracking and anti-tracking of the high-IQ duel showed tension, but the battlefield was moved to Shenzhen!

The whole process is a high-light shot, and the plot unfolds the perspective of the novice tracking team played by Wan Qian...

Shoot her so well!

Fully commercialized.

Many film critics questioned: Wan Qian is so good-looking, suitable for tracking codes?

Nonsense, if she is not good-looking, who wants to come to the cinema to watch a movie?

Original

"Tracking" is You Naihai's directorial debut, and it has the basic interpretation of Galaxy Image, such as high-modeling action, such as high-saturation colors, and the film's own unique grammar, such as the rapid push-pull-pan on the camera - this is not only cool, but also constructs a meaningful "eye in the sky" viewpoint.

In the movie, Ren Dahua, the senior dog head of the tracking team, told the pig girl Xu Zishan that the original meaning of surveillance was Tianyan.

Therefore, on the surface, "Tracking" unfolds from the perspective of the tracking team, but behind it there is also a hidden perspective of the heavenly eye, overlooking all beings in the world.

But when it comes to "The Monitors", it only talks about officers and soldiers catching robbers, not about people doing it, and the sky is watching.

The impression of the galaxy is deeply influenced by Du Qifeng,

The film emphasizes the Buddhist view of the reincarnation of cause and effect.

In "Tracking", when the villain Liang Jiahui and the master said "How can the Buddha bless people like us", it indicated that Liang Jiahui would not end well, and sure enough, he was accidentally hooked to death by a hook in the end.

And the joke telling jokes in a pool of blood after the dog head Ren Dahua was stabbed is the most sensational point of "Tracking"...

Because he's dead!

"The Watchers" changed this and changed the ending to the sheriff enduring severe pain and killing the shadow at the subway exit, full of personal heroism!

It's a commercial adaptation!

Good triumphs over evil.

You killed the male lead?

Then tell me, it's called humanity!

Will the audience buy it?

"The Watchers" has been positioned as a high-quality entertainment blockbuster from the beginning of its establishment, combining crime, action, suspense, and thriller!

Shen Mengxi read several pages of movie reviews, and then felt that it should be successful...

......

"You want to make an online drama?"

"It's not about making an online drama, it's about making an online drama!"

Shen Mengxi corrected Xu Zheng's statement...

"Why?"

“... Because the marketing cost of TV series is too expensive!"

Shen Mengxi sighed: "For a TV series, the production agency has to spend 30~500,000 yuan per episode to find a data company to do high ratings, otherwise it may be cut in half or reduced by the TV station because the ratings are not high, I can't afford it!"

“... Aren't all our TV dramas cooperating with TV stations?"

"It's not all, let's make more than a dozen TV series every year, and after it goes public, I'm going to double the output, what about the extra 500 episodes? You don't know, many TV stations are too awesome now, if the producer can't promise the ratings, the TV station will refuse to buy the film, and if you don't buy the ratings, the ratings of the dramas you make won't come up!"

Xu Zheng finally understood: "That's why you said you want to be a video platform!"

"Yes, the state does not allow private capital to live in TV stations, so I will make online videos, spend money to do it, and make it the scale of TV stations!"

"So how do you make a profit?"

"Exclusive broadcasting, selling advertisements and VIP fees, I have calculated it, five years of losses, and then almost flat, and then listed, directly is a net profit! The most important thing, if the video platform is done, our influence can go to the next level, and I even think that we can rely on the video platform to present awards by ourselves!"

"VIP charges?"

"It's just that you spend 15 yuan a month, you can watch dramas without ads, and you can also exclusively watch the exclusive dramas provided by our video site!"

Tao Hong on the side finished the script outline: "This "Red" is the online drama you want to make?"

"That's right, the opening piece!"

"This investment should cost tens of millions..."

Shen Mengxi nodded: "Yes, we have calculated, it will be about 50 million... Otherwise, it won't work!"

"Fifty million..."

"Mengxi, wouldn't it be too risky to do an online drama now?"

"That is, I read Youku's report, and the annual advertising revenue is only 1.1 billion, and the expenditure is more than 2 billion..."

Shen Mengxi waved his hand: "... That's because they're stupid and don't know how to play, what I want to do is a high-quality drama, which will be broadcast on the Internet for one round, and can be sold to TV stations for two or three rounds!"

"Then you are not an exclusive broadcast, the VIP members you said will definitely not be satisfied!"

“...”

Shen Mengxi was stunned...

it...

How did you forget this?

Xu Zheng proposed: "I think video websites can do it, and solo dramas can also be done, but it won't be a repertoire with an investment of more than 10 million now... Let's make some solo dramas with less investment first..."
