Chapter 675: Look at the Problem From a Different Angle, a Hilarious Military Drama
The approval of "Soldier Assault" was completely within Xu Ye's expectations.
This script is the TV series that has been selected by CCTV's "Flag Flying" column, and it has received support from relevant departments during the filming process.
If it can't pass the review, then there will be a big problem.
"Soldier Assault" has received rave reviews, and the actor Wang Baoqiang, who plays the protagonist Xu Sanduo, has also entered the eyes of more audiences with this role.
This drama has also made a large number of actors famous.
When selecting these actors, Du Chonglin took a lot of effort, and in the end, the leading role was still decided by Xu Ye.
The solution is very simple, that is, to directly use the actor search card.
The actor found in the end is also very consistent with Xu Sanduo's temperament.
Xu Ye also gave Du Chonglin a suggestion, just throw these actors into the army for training for a period of time, and Du Chonglin also thinks this method is feasible.
Then Director Du was privately complained by these actors and helped Xu Ye take the blame.
The final effect is naturally good.
Now that military dramas have fallen out of favor, Xu Ye believes that this drama will definitely be loved by the audience.
Xu Ye said to Du Chonglin: "Send me the film, and I will help you promote it."
Du Chonglin agreed without hesitation, and then arranged for someone to send the film to Xu Ye.
But after sending it, Du Chonglin suddenly remembered something.
"Oh no, Xu Ye has bad intentions!"
Xu Ye said he would help with publicity, and he also asked for the original film, which clearly showed that he was going to make trouble.
But now the documents have been sent, and it's too late to regret.
Besides, Xu Ye is an investor and a screenwriter, and he can do whatever he wants.
Du Chonglin could only sigh silently in his heart.
With the approval of "Soldier Assault", this is a big studio that released the relevant news of the TV series.
The shooting process of "Soldier Assault" this time was very low-key, and the control over the selection of actors was also quite strict.
In addition, they were basically not in the film and television city when filming, so many people didn't know that this was the fourth TV series of the five-year plan of a large studio.
After the announcement of the release date of "Soldier Assault" by a large studio, it immediately attracted the attention of netizens.
In the Weibo, in addition to the announcement of the release date, there was also the cover of "Soldier Assault".
The content of the cover is also very simple, which is the image of Xu Sanduo and other characters.
After seeing this news, netizens were a little magical for a while.
"No, buddy, what kind of TV series is this?"
"Everyone is now filming ancient idols, urban domineering, suspense, and reality-oriented TV series. Why did you shoot a military drama?"
"This theme is not interesting at first glance."
This is exactly the unanimous opinion of the majority of the audience.
You filmed "Bright Sword" and everyone accepted it because this theme is enduring.
But what is there to watch in modern military dramas?
This kind of drama is the main theme at first glance.
As we all know, once it touches the main theme, it must be accompanied by two words, that is, boring.
It's not that there are no such TV series in this world, but there are no such dramas that are big hits.
Especially in recent years, with the rise of mobile Internet and the advent of the traffic era, domestic entertainment has been shooting whatever can make money, and this theme has been abandoned by the market.
This time, Xu Ye dared to do what others did not do and challenged himself.
"I believe in the cooperation between Xu Ye and Du Chonglin, and the Huoshaolin combination has not missed it!"
"Yes, the popularity of anti-black dramas before Kuang Biao came out was over, and now there are a lot of anti-black dramas, all brought up by Kuang Biao."
"Brother upstairs, what's the matter with Huoshaolin? Is it the CP name of the dean and Director Du? Is this CP you are eating a bit weird?"
In this discussion, a weird CP appeared, Xu Ye and Du Chonglin's Huoshaolin fans.
Mainly because the TV series they cooperated to shoot are of good quality.
In the discussion of netizens, Song Zhengqi, the general manager of Qingniao Entertainment, was shocked again.
The new drama of Qingniao Entertainment seems to have collided with the schedule of "Soldier Assault" again.
Since the incident of "Bright Sword" was over, Song Zhengqi has been a little nervous when encountering this situation.
Xu Ye's various operations in the entertainment industry have a very obvious impact on Qingniao Entertainment.
In the past, Mr. Song had several secretaries, but now there is only one secretary left.
In the past, Mr. Song's secretary wore stockings from foreign brands, and a pair of stockings cost at least several hundred yuan, so Mr. Song didn't feel bad when they tore them.
But now the stockings on the secretary's legs have been changed to domestic brands, the kind that cost only a few dozen yuan, and Mr. Song still feels a little distressed when they tore them.
Song Zhengqi doesn't know whether others have downgraded their consumption or not, but he has already downgraded his consumption.
However, Song Zhengqi also understands that this time the release date is definitely not Xu Ye targeting him.
"Soldier Assault" will be broadcast on CCTV, and the release date is set by CCTV, not decided casually.
The two dramas will not be launched on the same day, and there is a gap of several days in between.
If Xu Ye really targeted him, he would definitely release it on the same day as him.
"I can only take it one step at a time."
This also confirmed an idea in Song Zhengqi's mind.
Last year, the most popular variety show was "The Voice of China" on Chang'an Satellite TV.
Song Zhengqi has also started a similar program in his company, but he has not yet decided whether to do it.
Now he can make a decision.
In the field of TV series, Qingniao Entertainment is afraid that it will not be able to survive.
Moreover, the company is very short of money now. The payment cycle of TV series is not as fast as that of variety shows. It may not make money as well as variety shows.
"The market demand for programs like China Voice is not saturated yet. Changan TV wants to organize the next season of the program, at least until the second half of this year, and I am ready here."
"To organize this kind of variety show, you have to earn money not only from advertisers, but also from contestants."
Song Zhengqi has already planned it in his mind.
He is not doing this variety show to select talents for the music industry, he wants to make money, and make a lot of money!
It is funny and unreliable to really find pure amateurs to be contestants like Changan TV did!
It is completely possible to contact some entertainment companies and let them insert artists in. They just need to package them as amateurs. Anyway, the audience does not know. They can just wait until later to say that the contestants have been signed by this company.
These entertainment companies will also be tied to this program, and they will pay for both money and people.
It is easy for contestants without background to advance. Just pay money. You can advance if you pay money.
As for the mentors, it is even simpler. Just find a famous mentor, write a good script for them to perform. If the money is in place, there will always be people willing to do so. Qingniao can also provide other resource exchanges.
The audience can also make money, bring goods, hold offline events, sell limited products, etc.
Song Zhengqi has already planned several ways to make money in his mind.
He called the person in charge of the project and gave instructions on this matter.
After the arrangement, Song Zhengqi's attention returned to "Soldier Assault".
"Let's watch it after it starts." Song Zhengqi said in his heart.
With the release of the news that "Soldier Assault" was scheduled, the official Weibo of "Soldier Assault" also released a trailer.
It is worth mentioning that on Earth, the actor who played the squad leader Shi Jin was Zhang Yi. At that time, Zhang Yi was still very young. An Xin in "Kuangbi" was also played by Zhang Yi.
In this world, it is the opposite.
Shi Jin is still casted by An Xin, but he played in "Kuang Biao" first and then "Soldier Assault".
The trailer released by the official Weibo says "The growth history of a soldier king", "Passionate blood attack" and so on.
The pictures in the trailer are also selected from some high-burning scenes in the drama, and the classic lines in the TV series are interspersed in the middle.
"Don't abandon, don't give up!"
"To live well is to do meaningful things, and to do meaningful things is to live well."
The whole trailer is quite interesting.
However, netizens started to complain after watching the trailer.
"What's wrong with this lead actor? He's a bit ugly, isn't he?"
"You call him a soldier king? How can he be a soldier king with this face? A supporting actor is more handsome than the lead actor."
"Soldier king shouldn't be the kind of person who has a lot of equipment on his body, is tall and mighty, and looks only one-tenth as handsome as Xu Ye. That's what a soldier king is."
"The choice of the lead actor is a bit of a failure."
"Did the lead actor bring money into the group?"
"The Huoshaolin group is going to fail!"
The netizens are right. In any case, Xu Sanduo's face can't be associated with the soldier king.
But this is exactly the charm of this drama.
Use a TV series to tell you how this kind of person can become a soldier king.
Du Chonglin was a little worried after seeing the comments online.
This is the first time in the past few years that his TV series has been criticized before it even aired.
In distress, he called Xu Ye again.
"Xu Ye, our drama is not going to fail, right?" Du Chonglin's tone was a little worried.
He still had the script of "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" in his hand. If "Soldier Assault" failed, he would not have the face to make a movie.
Xu Ye comforted him: "I have read the discussion on the Internet. Don't worry, it's okay. Some things can be seen differently if you look at them from a different angle. You can convey my words to the actor of Xu Sanduo. Not everyone can be as handsome as me."
After hanging up the phone, Du Chonglin was a little confused.
What do you mean you can see different scenery from a different angle?
Why did you bring up chicken soup for the soul? And you are too narcissistic!
However, at 8 o'clock in the evening, Xu Ye posted a Weibo with a video.
"A large-scale hilarious military drama, shocking!"
On the other hand, Zhang Yongyi, the actor who played Xu Sanduo, was also paying attention to the news on the Internet.
Zhang Yongyi was selected by Xu Ye himself. Before joining the crew of "Soldier Assault", he had not played the leading role.
Xu Ye was very kind to Zhang Yongyi, and Zhang Yongyi was very grateful. He also followed Xu Ye on Weibo.
The netizens' comments were a bit hurtful, but Zhang Yongyi was used to it.
He had suffered too many grievances because of this face, and the comments from netizens were not too severe.
After he saw Xu Ye's Weibo, he was still a little confused.
"This drama is not a hilarious military drama."
Zhang Yongyi still clicked into the video to watch it.
Once he clicked in, he knew what was inside.
This was a trailer edited by Xu Ye himself.
At the beginning of the scene, Xu Sanduo's father Xu Baishun held his clothes as a gun with both hands and stabbed Shi Jin.
Xu Baishun shouted: "Prepare the gun, stab!"
A fist directly stabbed Shi Jin's chest.
The scene changed, and Xu Sanduo's comrade Bai Tiejun of the 7th Company arrogantly shouted with a gun: "Enemy, listen to me, I am here, and the position is here. If you come with one, I will hit one, if you come with two, I will hit two!"
Bai Tiejun spoke with a Tangshan accent and was very humorous.
As soon as he finished speaking, gunshots rang out.
Bai Tiejun was shot in the chest and white smoke came out.
Seeing this, Zhang Yongyi laughed out loud.
He laughed every time he watched this segment.
It's just funny, but it's a scam!
You want to trick the audience into coming in!
