Chapter 68 Choice

After finishing the hospitalization procedures, Wei Xiaofan ran back to the crew without even having a meal.

"Bao Qingtian" now shoots at least two episodes a day. He can't have any slack. If he doesn't act well, the salary will definitely not be paid. What about Aunt Zhang's illness?

He took out his savings and salary, and now there are dozens of dollars left in his pocket, but Wei Xiaofan doesn't care at all.

This northern man naturally has a bright and generous nature that southerners do not have, and also has the ability to withstand pressure.

He knows that no matter how anxious he is, the first and most important thing is to do his own job - filming well. Only in this way can he get a red envelope with a salary increase and have more money to help Aunt Zhang.

Although Yin Jun will bear most of the expenses, as Yin Jun's eldest brother, it is definitely impossible for him to stop working hard because of Yin Jun's efforts. He has to do as much as possible.

Not for anything else, just as Yin Jun thought, this Mr. Bao, who regarded Aunt Zhang as a relative, didn't think of anything else, as long as Aunt Zhang could be rescued, all the hard work would be worth it.

Aunt Zhang is cared for by her fourth daughter, fifth son and Ayu. Anyway, Marian Hospital has arranged a separate ward with sofas and simple couchs, and can be escorted by family members, and there is no need to pay for the escort separately. .

Yin Jun left with Cai Yongchang.

Cai Yongchang is a very smart person, and he is very knowledgeable about the world. After leaving the Marian Hospital, he immediately said goodbye to Yin Jun, without saying a word about the script he asked for.

That's the genius.

If he asks Yin Jun for the script now, it is obviously a reward.

Yin Jun should have agreed to give him a script, but after giving it, it became a strange relationship again, and he had to start over.

So it's better to leave the favor and leave, and wait until the next time you have the opportunity to talk, then it will be easier.

Of course, it's all a gamble.

I bet Yin Jun is someone who values ​​favors over money.

If Yin Jun is such a person, then he will definitely give Cai Yongchang more in return.

If Yin Jun is not, then Cai Yongchang won't get more, and Quan Dang's emotional investment this time has just failed, and he can't lose anything.

But seeing that Yin Jun can give so much to this Aunt Zhang, who is not a relative, Cai Yongchang has long understood that his help this time will definitely bring him more returns.

In his own heart, Yin Jun naturally accepted this favor, but this did not mean that he was willing to give Jiahe his script at a low price.

Humanity is human, business is business.

Cai Yongchang was helping himself, and Yin Jun was very appreciative, but because hundreds of thousands or even millions of businesses were involved, Yin Jun felt that he should be cautious.

It would be too utilitarian if all the help had to be converted into a measure of money.

On the basis of having a choice, Yin Jun can prefer Jiahe, or even help them more, in order to repay this favor, but Yin Jun can't sell these precious scripts at a low price.

Yes.

For those classic scripts in memory, Yin Jun's psychological price is at least a few hundred thousand. For example, those scripts that made Cheng Long popular all over Asia are one million less, so don't talk about them at all.

But now, would Jiahe be willing to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions to buy Yin Jun's script?

Even if Yin Jun patted his chest and promised that my script would definitely get a box office of more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars in Asia, but would they believe it?

Obviously, they would only think that Yin Jun lion opened his mouth and was arrogant.

Such business will not only fail, but will cause conflicts.

Therefore, what Yin Jun wants to do most now is to make his title of gold medal screenwriter more worthy of his name.

Only in this way can he justifiably sell the high-priced script, and get the funds he most wants as soon as possible, so as to catch up with the stock acquisition at the best time next month.

There is no way to get so much money just by writing the script. What Yin Jun can rely on most is his fame.

In this era of Xiangjiang, there is a special environment, and sometimes fame can be very useful.

And now, it's clear that Yin Jun's reputation isn't big enough.

Even with "The Mistaken Seven Days of Love", which has the second-highest box office record, and "Bao Qingtian", which has the highest ratings of TV dramas in recent years, it still doesn't seem solid enough.

back home.

Yin Jun began to think carefully.

It gave 170,000 yuan to the hospital, and 5,000 yuan to Aunt Zhang and her husband. Now Yin Jun has more than 2,000 yuan in his hands.

The most important thing for Yin Jun now is to get enough funds, so that whether it is to pay for the treatment and rehabilitation after Aunt Zhang, or to do some other money-making business, he will have enough confidence. .

This money is not difficult to obtain. With his current status in the hearts of Jiashi's senior management, even if the follow-up script of "Bao Qingtian" has not been written for a single episode, there is no problem in prepaying the script fee for 100 episodes.

Then comes the crux of the matter.

Yin Jun wants the best of both worlds.

How can I guarantee Aunt Zhang's treatment costs and make sure that I can earn enough money and fame?

It is obviously impossible to speculate in stocks and real estate. It is not so fast, and it has nothing to do with the career that Yin Jun wants to do, so it will not help at all.

Gambling can raise money, but the problem is that Yin Jun has never gambled before, taking money to the casino just to deliver food to others.

The most reliable and practical thing is to return to the film and television industry that Yin Jun is familiar with.

In the film industry, the least investment, the fastest and the most profitable, are not available in the Mainland and Hong Kong, but there are two in North America, namely "Blair the Witch" and "Ghost Records".

Among them, "Blair Witch" is the originator of Xiaoboda, a horror film with a pseudo-documentary as its selling point. The investment amount is only tens of thousands of US dollars, but the total global box office has reached about 300 million US dollars, and the input-output ratio is almost It's 1 to 10,000.

But unfortunately, this is only a superficial illusion, and the truth is not so simple and easy at all.

Yes.

The cost of filming the entire film was indeed only more than 30,000 US dollars, because the actors were all unknown actors who were deliberately selected, and the scene settings were very simple, and even the shooting cycle was only one or two weeks.

However, if you want to promote the whole story to ferment on the Internet in the United States, ferment in the news media, and guide so many people to pay attention to this matter, how can it be simple?

Even if a small Internet celebrity wants to become famous, wouldn't it have to spend hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands to find an online promotion company and come up with a series of hype?

If you want more people to know, it costs more.

Like "Blair Witch", which almost alarmed the situation in the entire United States, the production company and distribution company's publicity costs are already as high as 20 to 30 million US dollars, which is 200 to 300 times the cost!

Such intensive publicity and guidance is the most important reason that eventually caused "Blair Witch" to become popular all over the United States, and the super hot US market made the foreign copyright of "Blair Witch" sell so well, so many people went to Watch, and finally reached a global box office of 300 million US dollars.

"Ghost Shadow Records" is similar, so Yin Jun does not have the ability to play this kind of announcement game that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, so he can only filter it temporarily.

Apart from these two, there are movies with very short production cycles and good box office results.

For example, one of the episodes of "Ancient Dangerous Boys" was filmed in just over ten days, and the score was more than 10 million, which was very good.

But that was only when the first few films of "Ancient, Dangerous, Boy" went well and everyone was familiar with the leading actors. If you don't have the accumulation of the previous films, why don't you try it?

For example, Wu Zhenyu invested in a bad film that was released in 11 days. What was the result? Come home!

Therefore, in terms of this movie, it is not reliable at all, and Yin Jun does not like to do it in a few days or ten days. Son, not for him.

If the movie doesn't work, can the TV show work?

In Yin Jun's mind, some classic TV series flashed.

If you want the TV series to be filmed quickly and well enough, then those with long narratives, multiple main lines, and many foreshadowings will definitely not work. This will take too much of the actors' brains, and it is absolutely impossible to enter the film in a day or two, and then ten or so. The sky is brilliant.

Unless Uncle Daoming, Uncle Ge, Wei Zai, and Fa Zai were brought to Yin Jun, it would be impossible.

So, change to some short series, less mainline, multi-unit series, such as "Bao Qingtian", will it work?

Row!

No matter in the history of TV dramas in the United States or in the history of TV dramas in China, there are such very successful examples.

Hua Guo usually calls this kind of TV series "situation comedy".

The most famous American is naturally "Six Men", "Everybody Loves Raymond", "Two and a Half Men" and so on.

These TV series are popular not only in the United States, but all over the world.

Yin Jun also specially read a report that among the favorite foreign TV dramas of young people in Xiangjiang, these American sitcoms occupy 6 of the top ten.

It's just that this happened around 2010. At that time, the tastes and angles of young people in Xiangjiang watching TV series were different from those of the mainstream people now.

Then there is the issue of cultural generation difference. Xiangjiang's atmosphere at this time is still a bit conservative. Whether it can accept such a trendy American-style TV series is another matter.

Now American TV dramas, and even variety shows, are all exaggerated and absurd.

And what Xiangjiang just learned is this form of performance-Wang Jing said in an interview program that their group of directors born in the 1950s watched the most variety shows and TV movies in the United States on weekdays. , so many shooting techniques and forms of expression are similar to those in the United States at that time.

But the problem is that the United States has made continuous progress since then and abandoned this outdated form of performance, but Xiangjiang still feels good about himself, and keeps launching such old-fashioned outdated programs and movies, with a "You can't watch it." I understand because you are very low-level.” Do you think mainland audiences will like such shows and movies, and like such directors and actors?

Compared with the United States, Yin Jun thinks that China's sitcoms are not bad.

"The Story of the Editorial Department", "The Story of the Cooking Class", "I Love My Home", "Sister Idle Horse", "Family with Children", "Love Apartment" and so on are all fascinating. In the past, Yin Jun If I have nothing to do, I will watch a few episodes and laugh happily.

These are one story per episode, one joke per episode, very short and powerful, and can best meet the above requirements that Yin Jun wants to make.

However……

These are still not good, they can not fit the current Xiangjiang.

Can you imagine the trivial things happening in the laid-back editorial department that resonate in Hong Kong, a place where the pace of work is accelerating? Can you imagine that a sloppy and scary-looking star like Uncle Ge, who is serious about telling jokes that only mainlanders of that era liked, is popular here in Hong Kong?

Can you make people in Hong Kong understand the jokes like "The Story of the Cooking Class" with the feelings of the military, brigade and soldiers of China? Xiangjiang has no such feelings at all! The story of their police school, I believe everyone has seen it, it is not that kind of down-to-earth at all, there is no concept of children, brothers, soldiers!

"Love Apartment" is full of Internet words that fit the situation at the time. Getting to the current Xiangjiang will only make them look inexplicable, and feel that this group of people is acting in a mess, and they are absolutely on the street. ——Simply said a joke, the hilarious scene of Lin Wanyu pretending to be cute and making a phone call to order KFC, can you make the current people in Hong Kong understand? Now Hong Kong doesn't even have McDonald's, where can KFC come from?

Even in the two TV series "I Love My Family" and "Family with Children", one has the flavor of Shanghai and the other is full of Beijing flavor, and there is no way for the Cantonese-speaking people in Hong Kong to like it.

Therefore, not all classics can be suitable for every place. Differences in time and space may trigger different reactions.

This is also the reason why Feng Buckya's first few New Year films such as "Party A and Party B" sold quite well in the north, but they went all the way in the south.

A large part of the reason why a classic becomes a classic is that it is close to people's lives at that time and the social environment at that time.

However, Yin Jun thought about it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Such a simple, clear and good-looking sitcom that can adapt to the viewing habits of the current Xiangjiang audience, there really is such a movie.
