Chapter 151 Return of the Drama to Its Original Owner
Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui, who had been listening to their conversation, breathed a sigh of relief.
They were afraid that Yin Jun would be reserved and conservative, and they were unwilling to cooperate with Li immediately.
Because Jiashi has already offered the same price as Li's at this time, Li's has no advantage.
Although they felt that Yin Jun's three TV series for Jiashi should not be as good as "Chu Liuxiang", but who would know?
If all these TV dramas are rushing towards the ratings of more than 70%, how long will it take to suppress Li?
"Ajun, to tell you the truth, the first thing we came here today was actually about "Chu Liuxiang"." Zhong Jinghui said, "For "Chu Liuxiang", can you write a few more unit stories? The more the better !"
"Mr. Zhong, I understand your unwillingness to end a TV series with high ratings." Yin Jun said in a harmonious voice, "However, the meanings of going too far and unsatisfactory are completely different, are you right?"
"Let me tell you the truth, Ah Jun." Huang Xizhao continued, "November is the time for our next year's advertisement investment, and we Lide also want to have a film that can continue to be a sensation just like Jiashi. "Chu Liuxiang" has only 130 episodes, that is, it will be finished in about 4 months. If we can add another 100 episodes, it will be very beneficial to our advertising negotiations."
"The best thing is that from now on, we can produce another TV series that will also be popular, just like Jiashi's "Bao Qingtian" and "Wulin Biography". This is the greater insurance." Zhong Jinghui said, "The new unit of "Chu Liuxiang" and the new script, including Ah Xiong's script, I have to trouble you, Ah Jun."
"Don't worry about the remuneration, we still say the same thing, Li's is not Jiashi, let alone Wireless, we don't learn from Sixth Brother Shao's tricks, and we don't learn from girls." Huang Xizhao continued: "Three scripts, 10,000 episodes, 12% of the selling price in other places, this is our sincerity, I believe we will all make money! The cooperation will be more long-term!"
Yin Jun was a little dizzy from their left and right sentences.
He raised his hand and said, "You two, please let me stroke it cleanly... What you mean is that Li wants the script, a sequel to "Chu Liuxiang", two new ones, right?"
"yes!"
"I personally think that the script of "Chu Liuxiang" is almost done now." Yin Jun said: "Mr. Zhong, don't rush to talk, listen to me. If you think it is necessary, next year, I can write another 60 for you." The script of "Chu Liuxiang" around the episode. But if there are too many audiences at once, it is really inappropriate, and the living space of "Chu Liuxiang" will be squeezed."
"Why is "Bao Qingtian" okay?" Zhong Jinghui couldn't help but ask.
"Because "Bao Qingtian" is a case-solving story, generally five, six, seven or eight episodes are one case, and each time there are different highlights and plots, everyone will be full of expectations." Yin Jun talked eloquently, ""Chu Liuxiang" is not Similarly, it tells some stories about Chu Liuxiang’s heroism and righteousness. Usually 20 or 30 episodes are a segment, so it will be longer, but it can’t be described well if it is not extended. Watching like this, 130 episodes It is definitely a limit, if there are more, it will be bad, and the ratings will definitely drop.”
The original version of "Chu Liuxiang" has only 65 episodes, which is exactly half of Yin Jun's version of "Chu Liuxiang".
Although Yin Jun has already added three more "Legend of Star and Moon", "Legend of Parrot" and "Legend of Shadow" from the Baodao version of "The New Biography of Chu Liuxiang", but in Yin Jun's view, it is still a little procrastinated.
Of course, this is measured by Yin Jun with his eyes of watching thousands of classic TV dramas. He also knows that the audience in this era lacks entertainment activities on weekdays. Such a long TV series looks comfortable and enjoyable, so In the end, it was finalized in 130 episodes.
If it is longer, he still has several versions of "Chu Liuxiang", which can piece together fifty or sixty episodes, which is not a problem at all, but this is too procrastinating.
What's more, at the beginning of the cooperation with Li, Yin Jun thought that 130 episodes might be a little too much for them. If the writing is too long, maybe they will think about it, so just 130 episodes.
What Yin Jun said to Zhong Jinghui at this time did not mean to shirk, it was a question he really considered.
"Chu Liuxiang" is a very good story. Whether it is a TV series or a movie in the future, there will be broad room for development.
Even Wen Juxia's "Four Famous Catchers" can be filmed repeatedly until 2013. Why can't "Chu Liuxiang", which is much better than it, become a high-quality film and television resource?
Now that Yin Jun is in control of the film and television adaptation rights of "Chu Liuxiang", he will definitely not spoil this classic novel.
Zhong Jinghui still wanted to persuade Yin Jun a few more words, but here Huang Xizhao stepped on him under the table, and said first: "Next year, when can "Chu Liuxiang" be restarted?"
"If Li's really needs it, I can give you another 60 episodes around October next year." Yin Jun said.
"Okay, happy!" Huang Xizhao praised Yin Jun first, and then said: "In that case, let's be more cheeky, please, Jun, give us another new book, just like Jiashi, to shoot for Li's next year Write three plays, okay?"
"I have only two prepared here now." Yin Jun said, "One is a local drama from the Republic of China period, and the other is a martial arts drama. Within half a month, I can sort out the scripts and hand them over to Li. "
After a pause, he looked at McDonald Bear again, "Brother Xiong, I previously conceived a story about the love and hatred of three families and two generations. With your skill, you should be able to capture the deep meaning of it."
"When will you show me the book?" McDonald Bear was straightforward, not agreeing, but wanted to read the book before making a decision.
"Just a week later." Yin Jun said.
"Okay!" McDonald Bear nodded heavily, "I'm just waiting for your script!"
Seeing that Yin Jun agreed to give three notebooks, Huang Xizhao felt relieved.
He is very confident in Yin Jun, even if Yin Jun said that one of them is a local drama from the Republic of China period, which seems very unpopular, but he has no worries at all.
Huang Xizhao believes in her own vision, Yin Jun is definitely a rare genius, at least for the past two years.
If Lidi wants to do a good job in TV dramas, she must trust Yin Jun wholeheartedly, and give Yin Jun the scripts of TV dramas that can be used as trump cards, and the screenwriters in her own station will make supplements and do a good job in the second and third. Streaming TV dramas, such a layered attack in high and middle grades, is the right way for TV stations to operate.
Even Zhong Jinghui, who seemed a little cautious, didn't say anything.
After all, Yin Jun has already proved his strength, and it happened one after another.
Especially "Chu Liuxiang", Zhong Jinghui has been deeply impressed. A genius who can write such a drama, how can the script come out bad?
Everyone knows that Yin Jun will not do those crudely fabricated things, as long as he agrees to the script, it must be good.
Besides, no matter how partial the local dramas of the Republic of China are, can they be as partial as "Wulin Biography"?
Even "Wulin Biography" can set a ratings record and lead a new category, let alone TVB has filmed a lot of local dramas.
Thinking of this, Zhong Jinghui naturally has enough confidence.
The TV series that Yin Jun wants to give them is of course not a bad movie, but a masterpiece of absolute high quality.
This Republic of China local film is a generational drama that was broadcast in Lidi in September 1980 - "The Grace of the Earth"!
This trilogy drama of the Republic of China and the country's local ethics is rustic and full of tragedy and hardship on the surface, but it embodies a spirit of perseverance, perseverance and bravery, which is most suitable for Xiangjiang people to start from scratch and open up Xiangjiang. Bustling experience.
Therefore, "Grace of the Earth" aroused great enthusiasm from the people of Xiangjiang. At that time, "Grace of the Earth" happened to coincide with TVB's annual drama "Turn Around". " was defeated. It was originally expected to be 80 episodes long, but it was cut in half when it reached 22 episodes.
"Where to Turn" is also the first TVB TV series to be cut in half. Zheng Shaoqiu himself deeply regrets this, and feels that this is a rare shame in his acting career.
It is worth mentioning that Zheng Shaoqiu's theme song of the same name "Where to Turn" was also selected as one of the third "Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs".
This shows that it's not that "Turn Around" is too bad, but that "Grace of the Earth" is really too strong!
Its model has influenced the local dramas of the Republic of China in Xiangjiang for the next few decades, and even the local dramas of Baodao in the next 20 years are almost influenced by it.
If such a TV series comes out, if there is no strong opponent, and if it does not get a 70% ratings, it will be a pity for its classics.
The second martial arts film is Lidi's another masterpiece - "The Change of the Silkworm".
When "The Change of Heavenly Silkworms" came out, they were also beaten to the brim. If they hadn't quickly captured Zheng Shaoqiu from the film studio and made the super magical drama "Chu Liuxiang"; If Xu Shaoqiang, the protagonist of "The Change of the Silkworm", is allowed to disappear for a period of time, "The Change of the Silkworm" can cripple wireless.
But Li's is also really tenacious. Under the leadership of McDonald Bear, "The Change of the Silkworm" not only survived the days of Xu Shaoqiang's disappearance, but when "Chu Liuxiang" ended, "The Change of the Silkworm" also released a sequel "Tianlong Jue" , It is still very uncomfortable to play wireless.
No matter from which point of view, "The Change of the Silkworm" is a classic. If it wasn't for Xu Shaoqiang who was greedy for wireless money, took the money and ran away instead of acting, and finally had to modify the plot and find someone to replace it, "Chu Liuxiang" is not necessarily the case. How much can you beat "Celestial Change".
It was said that year, in fact, these are what happened next year.
This is also an important reason why Yin Jun will give them the script of "The Change of the Silkworm" now.
Although Huang Ying was missing, the other script writers of "The Change of the Silkworm" are all in Li's now. If they were allowed to come up with this script in advance, there would be nothing wrong with Yin Jun, and that would be a waste.
Yin Jun also has enough confidence. With his revised script, "The Change of the Silkworm" will definitely look better than his previous life.
Of course, he will also remind Li's, don't choose Xu Shaoqiang, a villain, otherwise wireless's off-the-chart tricks may be used again.
As for the last script for Macdonald Bear, it is also a TV series of the Republic of China, and its name is "A Thousand Rivers and Thousand Mountains Are Always Love".
If it is 2020, younger people may not know this TV series, but they must have heard the phrase "thousands of rivers and mountains are always love". For example, in the idioms of grabbing red envelopes on WeChat. It's love, can I give you a red envelope?" Such words.
In that year, that is, four years later, in 1982, "Thousands of Waters and Thousand Mountains Are Always Love" has been popular since its broadcast, with an average rating of more than 70%, and it almost didn't directly knock out the newly established ATV.
Until 30 years later, TVB selected its top ten TV series with the highest ratings, and "A Thousand Rivers and Mountains Are Always Love" was on the list.
And the theme song of the same name "Thousands of Rivers and Thousand Mountains Are Always Love" has also become the memory of two whole generations.
Among the three TV series, "Thousands of Rivers and Thousand Mountains Are Always Love" is very contradictory. "The Grace of the Earth" focuses on the rural atmosphere and the story of peasant children struggling to make progress, while "Thousands of Rivers and Thousand Mountains Are Always Love" involves the entanglement of grievances , Later generations have a special word to describe this kind of drama-heart abuse.
It is not only sadistic, but also very sadistic, but it makes people want to watch it.
This kind of TV series that tests the acting skills of the characters and the ability of the producer to control is really suitable for a hero like McDonald Bear who wants to create classics.
Three TV series, "The Grace of the Earth" trilogy, Yin Jun plans to write 120 episodes, "The Change of the Silkworm" is 80 episodes, and "A Thousand Rivers and Thousand Mountains Are Always Love" is 60 episodes.
Compared with the original drama, Yin Jun has almost doubled in size.
It's not that Yin Jun wanted to make more money, so he wrote more, but based on Yin Jun's feelings and feelings, he wanted to add more things that should be added to these three TV series.
Because Xiangjiang’s TV dramas are usually produced very hastily, sometimes it takes two or three weeks to prepare for the TV series to start filming, and most of the time it takes one or two months to make all the preparations, and then it will come out to meet people in three months at most, while broadcasting Filming at the same time—you read that right, filming while broadcasting. Korean idol dramas are just like my idol Xiangjiang TV series.
For example, some places that are too hasty, such as some places where the plot changes are inexplicable, and some places where the behavior of characters is really incomprehensible... and so on.
These are when Yin Jun watched these TV dramas in his previous life, he either felt dumbfounded or full of regrets, and now he just checks for omissions and fills in the gaps to make them more perfect.
Only by doing the best TV series can we be the most sincere to the audience and live up to the TV series itself.
(It’s not just that I’ve written so much these days, I’ve saved thousands of manuscripts, and I’ll have a small explosion tomorrow. I was planning to talk about it tomorrow, but I just can’t help but want to tell you in advance! ^_^)
