Chapter 895: Drama Competition
After a busy day at work, Ye Wen drove home. The drama competition arranged by the department seemed to weigh on her heart like a big stone.
Ye Wen, who has long been accustomed to traffic jams, couldn't help but feel a little irritated when she looked at the slow-moving traffic in front of her.
Whether she can make a good anti-gang criminal investigation drama is her biggest concern during this drama competition.
The Ministry wants to respond to the call through film and television works to convey its achievements in policy. This requires that the TV series need to reach a high level in terms of ratings and online discussion after it is broadcast.
If the TV series itself is not attractive enough to attract the audience and arouse discussion, even if the General Administration of Culture promotes it later, it will not have much repercussions. It is still difficult to shoot this type of TV series, with so many restrictions, and it is not like Xianxia or Wuxia. , costume dramas are so imaginative and unrestrained, alas.
Ye Wen sighed helplessly, thinking about organizing a meeting in a few days to have the heads of major entertainment companies come over to study the matter of recruiting dramas, and leave professional matters to professionals.
Following the traffic, Ye Wen finally returned to the community. When she got home, she heard the sound of her husband cooking in the kitchen.
She would work overtime for meetings from time to time, and Chen Jian would usually prepare dinner.
Ye Wen casually threw her bag on the cabinet at the door, put on her slippers and saw Chen Ye lying on the sofa in the living room watching a drama.
"Mom, you're back!"
Ye Wen responded with a soft "hmm".
At this time, Chen Jian came out of the kitchen with a plate of scrambled eggs: "It's time to get off work. There are only two dishes left before dinner can be started."
Ye Wen still nodded slightly and responded: "I will go to the study to rest for a while. Call me when the meal is ready."
"Go ahead."
Chen Ye watched his mother enter the study, quickly put down the tablet in her hand, put on her slippers and went to the kitchen.
"Dad, my mother seems to be worried today. Do you know what happened?"
Chen Jian was busy putting food in the pot and said, "If I guessed correctly, something happened at work. Your mother went to the ministry for a meeting this morning."
Chen Ye nodded thoughtfully: "What's the matter?"
Pour the chopped vegetables into the oil pan, and bursts of fragrance will come out.
Chen Ye was choked by the smell of oil smoke and sneezed.
"You should go out quickly." Chen Jian shook his head and said, "I don't know what happened to your mother. I'll ask her during dinner at the party."
"Ah - sneeze" Chen Ye hurriedly came out of the kitchen, took a breath of fresh air outside, looked up at the study, and wondered what happened to his mother?
Chen Ye hasn't seen his mother in such a heavy mood for a while.
More than ten minutes later, Chen Jian came out of the kitchen with the last plate of food: "Xiao Ye, call your mother out for dinner."
"Okay." Chen Ye put the tablet aside and knocked on the study door: "Mom, it's time to eat."
"Coming."
Ye Wen came out of the study with a solemn look on her face. She received some information related to the anti-gang criminal investigation drama that she asked her secretary to sort out. The situation was worse than expected.
None of the film and television works with this theme that have been released in recent years can arouse everyone's discussion, and the ratings are even more appalling.
After Ye Wen washed her hands in the bathroom, she came to the living room. Chen Ye had already served her rice.
"Look at how delicious today's food is. Eat more." After finishing his words, Chen Jian glanced at Chen Ye.
"Scrambled eggs are dad's specialty. Try it quickly." Chen Ye put a piece of egg in Chen Ye's bowl and asked tentatively: "Mom, what happened? The wrinkles on my forehead are all wrinkled. ”
Ye Wen looked at the worried expressions of her daughter and her husband, and said, "I went to the ministry for a meeting this morning. Our bureau received a task to hold a drama competition."
"Don't there often be drama competitions?"
Chen Jian said: "Xiaoye, don't interrupt, listen to your mother continue."
I saw Ye Wen sighing: "The drama competition is very simple. The difficulty is that the theme of this TV series is an anti-gang criminal investigation drama. Anti-gang criminal investigation dramas are also a relatively unpopular category. There has not been such a big hit yet. TV series."
"Haven't there been drama recruitment activities in the past? As long as the news is announced, even if it is not popular, the entertainment companies should respond, and it will not be difficult, right?"
With the support of the General Administration of Culture, entertainment companies are still happy to do it.
"Xiao Ye, you think of this matter too simply." Chen Jian explained: "This drama competition is announced by the Ministry, and there will definitely be requirements for ratings."
Ye Wen nodded and said, "Your dad is right. If the ratings are not high, there is no point in having ten or twenty TV series of this type. What is important is quality, not quantity."
Chen Ye nodded thoughtfully. He didn't think too much about it. He took a mouthful of food and talked about an anti-gang criminal investigation drama. He suddenly patted his thigh and thought: Isn't Mr. Tan's TV series an anti-gang criminal investigation drama? ? !
"What's wrong with you?" Chen Jian and Ye Wen looked at their daughter in confusion.
"Uh." Chen Ye thought for a moment. The copyright of "Cyclonus" has been registered and can be disclosed to the outside world. Besides, this is his own mother. After looking at the melancholy on Ye Wen's eyebrows, he said: "Recently, Tan I have always written a new script, the subject of which is an anti-gang criminal investigation drama.”
For a moment, the whole room fell silent.
Chen Ye looked at his parents who were staring at each other, and said with a smile: "What I said is true. After registering the copyright of the script today, I read a little bit. It's the anti-criminal investigation drama that my mother said."
The surprise came so suddenly that Ye Wen didn't even react. The expression on her face was a bit complicated, including solemnity, confusion, and of course a bit of surprise.
After a long time, Ye Wen suddenly laughed: "What a coincidence."
Ever since she received the mission, she felt like a big stone was weighing on her heart. Now she suddenly felt much relieved when she heard that Tan Yue was preparing an anti-criminal investigation drama.
She believes in Tan Yue's ability in film and television. She has never disappointed anyone and always brings surprises.
Think about how many unpopular film and television themes have been popularized by Tan Yue over the years and have returned to the public's vision.
For others, anti-gang criminal investigation dramas may be a bit difficult, but this person has no problem.
The anti-gang criminal investigation drama that gave Ye Wen a headache for a whole day seemed to have completed most of her task with Tan Yue.
Chen Ye smiled and said: "Mom, how are you? This is good news!"
She also didn't expect that Tan Yue had just written a TV drama script that directly helped her mother. It was simply 'justice' sent from heaven.
Chen Jian on the side also took advantage of the situation and comforted him: "Don't worry. With Tan Yue's participation in the anti-gang criminal investigation drama, you will definitely be able to complete this mission perfectly."
Ye Wen was in a good mood, smiled and nodded: "Indeed, I believe him, and I'm just waiting for this TV series to be released."
"Hurry up and try today's dish. It's very delicious." Chen Jian picked up a piece of meat and ate it with relish.
"Do you think it looks good?"
Chen Ye smiled and said: "Mom, you have to stop being such a gossip. You will know after we go online."
"The little girl is quite strict."
The family happily ate dinner.
The next day.
Ye Wen came to the General Administration of Culture, and the secretary came in to deliver documents.
Ye Wen arranged: "Let me inform everyone and go to the conference room for a meeting in half an hour."
"Yes, Bureau Ye."
After the secretary left, Ye Wen began to sort out what needed to be said at today's meeting. The leaders' words needed to be conveyed during the meeting in the department. The most important thing was the drama competition.
Half an hour flies by.
Senior officials from the General Administration of Culture arrived at the conference room a few minutes early and sat there, chatting among them.
"I wonder what today's meeting is about?"
"I don't know. Yesterday Director Ye went to the ministry for a meeting. We should be given a new task from above."
"Call us all over. It should be a big deal."
"Let's check it out later, Bureau Ye is here."
The conference room fell silent instantly.
Ye Wen came to the conference room with her notebook. Seeing that everyone had arrived, she sat in her seat, opened her notebook, and said, "Everyone is here, let's start our meeting."
Several people opened their notebooks and took out pens to take notes.
Ye Wen first said some things that were neither trivial nor serious, and then started to get down to business after more than ten minutes.
"Based on relevant policies, the ministry decided to let us launch an anti-criminal investigation type drama competition."
As soon as the words fell, discussions began in the conference room.
"It turned out to be a drama competition."
"An anti-gang criminal investigation drama is really difficult."
"If I remember correctly, the ratings of TV series with this type of theme are not high, and there are no typical representatives."
"For a TV series that has no ratings, I don't know if those entertainment companies are willing to contribute."
"It's a bit difficult."
Ye Wen coughed slightly, and the conference room became quiet. She looked at everyone and said, "What do you think?"
One of the leaders in charge of film and television said: "Bureau Ye, there shouldn't be many entertainment companies that want to deal with anti-criminal investigation dramas. This task is not easy."
Anyone who can sit in the conference room for a meeting understands that any task assigned by the department not only requires them to try their best to complete it, but also to complete it with excellence.
All the senior officials nodded.
Ye Wen said: "Film and television works with this type of subject matter easily involve sensitive topics. If the bottom line is not touched, the review system can be relaxed appropriately."
The task has been assigned and they must complete it. All they can do is try to relax the review within their own responsibilities.
"About this drama competition, information can be posted on the official website. If you have any questions, please contact me directly." Ye Wen said seriously: "Our task is very heavy this time, so please make more preparations."
Ye Wen looked at everyone and said, "If there is no problem, let's end the meeting here."
Seeing everyone leaving with solemn faces, Ye Wen remembered that she was just like them yesterday.
Everything requires a process. After all, anti-gang criminal investigation dramas are difficult to film. Even if the policy is relaxed, it will take some time for it to take off.
But because Tan Yue wrote a script on this theme, Ye Wen's worries were much less.
She believes that Tan Yue will be able to produce an anti-gang criminal investigation drama of extremely high quality.
The reason why Ye Wen did not announce the news at the meeting was because the drama had not been officially announced yet.
Revealing the news directly now may affect Tan Yue's publicity plan.
Of course there is another reason.
As the director of the General Administration of Culture, she cannot place all her hopes on one person. Maybe through this opportunity, there will be some good quality anti-gang criminal investigation dramas.
Bright Entertainment Company, President's Office.
Qin Tao wanted to discuss something with Chen Ziyu.
"Is Mr. Chen in the office?"
The secretary sitting next to Chen Ziyu's office replied: "Mr. Chen went to the General Administration of Culture for a meeting."
Qin Tao nodded and left.
She wanted to ask Chen Ziyu to report some problems in the department, but she didn't expect that she happened to be out of the office.
The matter isn't particularly important, and it won't be too late to talk about it when we get back.
It was not until eleven o'clock in the morning that Chen Ziyu returned to the company and went directly to Tan Yue's office.
Tan Yue poured a glass of water, handed it to Chen Ziyu, and asked, "What did you say after such a long meeting?"
Chen Ziyu stretched out a finger. Said: "One thing, a drama competition."
"Drama competition? What type?"
"Anti-gang criminal investigation drama" Chen Ziyu took a sip of water and continued: "It is not easy to film a TV series with this theme. Privately, many entertainment companies have expressed their reluctance to touch it." Although the review system is a little looser, there is no guarantee that it will be put on the shelves normally. The risk factor is relatively high, and it is estimated that it will still be difficult to produce a good drama. "
"Is it such a coincidence?" Tan Yue was very surprised.
"What's wrong?"
Tan Yue explained: "I am preparing to ask Director Lin to film an anti-gang criminal investigation drama. The script was handed over to him two days ago and they are polishing it."
"Ah!?" Now it was Chen Ziyu's turn to be surprised, her eyes widened and she said, "Did you get inside information?"
Tan Yue then recounted how Lin Qingye came to him to read the script and then wrote "Hurry".
Chen Ziyu shook his head and sighed: "It seems that this TV series is destined to be a hit!"
Such a coincidence can happen, and other people may be shocked when they hear it.
Tan Yue had a hunch that "Cyclonus" might be more popular in this world than on Earth.
"If this is the case, our company should stop looking for people to write scripts."
Entertainment companies still have to actively respond to the drama solicitation activities of the General Administration of Culture, and it is also for their own convenience.
Since the subject matter is relatively unpopular, after the meeting, Chen Ziyu had a plan. She wanted to find someone to buy a past script of good quality as a work for this drama competition. Even if there are no ratings, losing money from a TV series will have almost no impact on the current Bright Entertainment Company, and it can still be said to be acceptable in terms of face.
But now that Tan Yue has written an anti-criminal investigation drama, everything is different.
Tan Yue's influence in film and television works is second to none in China. Both outsiders and insiders know his strength. He has written a TV series himself. Now even Chen Ziyu has begun to look forward to this TV series.
She has never doubted Tan Yue's ability. She believes that this anti-criminal investigation drama will become a hit after it is aired.
As for other issues about the script, Chen Ziyu didn't interfere.
