Chapter 411 Then Make Three Movies!
A bunch of analysis posts, similar to 'Our TV dramas here only need to be popular and make money, and don't take our history seriously; "Dae Jang Geum" is written based on historical facts, and the costumes are relatively orthodox and follow tradition.' ;
'Chinese film and television dramas just like to talk about some big principles and break away from the masses...'
Or 'Chinese costume dramas tend to go in the dark direction of human nature, and are not bright at all. ’
In short, if you reflect on it, you must step on your own country...
In fact, during the broadcast of "Dae Jang Geum", the ratings were not the first in the country, but the first in the same time period...
The number one in ratings is "Bright Sword"!
"Bright Sword" is so fierce that its ratings averaged 11.42% in the first week of broadcasting and peaked at 13.7%, easily breaking the ratings miracle created by "The Criminal of the Song Dynasty" this year...
Moreover, after the success of "Bright Sword", CCTV and local satellite TVs took the trouble to rebroadcast it, causing "Bright Sword" to be rebroadcast more than ten times in just two months. The frequency of use set a record for the highest rebroadcast of a domestic TV series.
But "Dae Jang Geum" has 70 episodes!
The main focus is just one long…
"Bright Sword" has finished airing, and "Dae Jang Geum" is just halfway through...
Why do everyone praise "Dae Jang Geum" but not many people praise "Bright Sword"?
Probably because 'Dae Jang Geum' is a popular drama in East Asia, and it has the meaning of promoting culture. "Bright Sword" can only be shown to Chinese people...'
Shen Xudong also followed these discussions.
But he cares more about "The Great Butler"...
"Housekeeper" takes over from "Dae Jang Geum" and competes with... "Beijing Smoke"...
Although it is not the same time period - at the same time period, Hunan Satellite TV produced Zhao Yazhi's version of "Beijing Smoke and Clouds"...
…
"Is this "Dae Jang Geum" so good? Why do I feel like I'm praising it?"
"It cost 8 million to buy and earned 60 million from advertising fees... Hunan TV made a lot of money this time. It will definitely introduce Korean dramas in the future. It is not only bragging, but also a way to build a brand!"
"They want to introduce... I'm afraid it will be difficult. I heard that the higher authorities have introduced policies to restrict the broadcast of Korean dramas..."
"Isolate the country?"
"You're talking about shutting down the country... you're talking about normal cultural restrictions. Then South Korea is not allowed to broadcast Chinese TV dramas!"
In Tianmei Screenwriter Studio, a group of people are chatting...
The discussion must be about the latest popular drama!
Zhao Linhai said: "I have watched more than a dozen episodes with Xiaoxiang, and "Dae Jang Geum" is quite good. The protagonist is flesh and blood, and he is not a holy mother. He wants to take revenge and repay injustice. He does not want to be a holy mother and forgive his enemies, but It is expressed in an appropriate way...and the theme is clear, God rewards hard work, it is normal for such a drama to be popular!"
"..."Bright Sword" is also very powerful!"
"Li Yunlong is indeed different from previous anti-war films!"
"I thought of "The Burning Years"!"
"Passion is different. "Passion" is a period drama that tells the story of family, the changes brought about by the changes of the times, the growth of each child and the changes of parents, and understanding the era from the details. "Bright Sword" is a pure war film... Li Yunlong uses military skills such as god!"
The topic turned to "Bright Sword"...
"Bright Sword" is a speed bump for men!
Turn on the TV, no matter what you want to watch, you will stop when you see "Bright Sword", even when you watch short videos...
During the discussion, Qin Wen came in with a book in her hand...
Liao Gaoxiang immediately asked: "What's wrong?"
"...Mr. Gao gave me a script to adapt..."Our Youth Has No Place to Place"...written by Lu Wan!"
"Lu Wan?"
"A writer living in the United States, I heard that Mr. Chen Daoming bought the adaptation rights..."
"Our Youth Has Nowhere to Place" was published in 2002. It did not sell very well, with an initial printing of 10,000 copies. Fortunately, it was picked up by Director Chen after two or three months of publication. Last year, he filmed "Chinese Style Divorce" 》, I recommended the novel to director Shen Yan...
"Teacher Chen Daoming is going to star?"
"Well... I want to change the original mother-daughter relationship into a father-daughter relationship! -"
"...Is the amount of work large?"
Qin Wen thought for a while, then shook her head: "It's okay, this thing can only last 25 episodes at most!"
Liao Gaoxiang nodded: "That's okay..."
"Where's Xudong?"
Qin Wen said casually: "...Several investors came to the door to invest in "Snow Leopard"... Mr. Gao is negotiating..."
"What about him?"
"He has to accompany me!"
…
Where did they find out about this show?
An anti-war drama written by Shen Xudong himself...
And the synopsis of the plot is very clear, ‘It tells the legendary story of Zhou Weiguo, a son of a wealthy family who embarked on the anti-Japanese road, formed the Snow Leopard Special Forces, and finally grew into an outstanding commander...'
Special Forces + Anti-Japanese!
Originally, there might not have been so many people paying attention. Isn't this because "Bright Sword" has become a hit, and "Snow Leopard" has benefited from it...
They are both Anti-Japanese War dramas, and the protagonists all use soldiers like gods...
And... 40 episodes of "Snow Leopard"!
Shen Xudong originally didn't want to get involved in raising funds for the project - Boss Chen just gave him the money after a phone call, so there was no need to participate...
Isn't this... wanting to give too much money?
Even people from the TV station came - on their own initiative.
Shen Xudong had never seen such a battle before - rushing to give away money.
Gao Fenfen talked with them for a long time, but they were still a little bit behind...
Everyone is not short of money, and they all want to get more investment. The problem now is that one movie "Snow Leopard" is obviously not enough!
Hearing what she said, Shen Xudong suddenly caught something: "...What did you just say?"
"...No one is short of money..."
"No, the last sentence..."
"The back?" Gao Fenfen scratched his head and asked tentatively: "...A "Snow Leopard" is obviously not enough..."
"Yep!"
Shen Xudong clapped his hands: "One movie is too much, so let's do another one, or two!"
"…What ideas do you have?"
"It's a trilogy. Since I have written an anti-war drama, I will definitely make three parts. I have a complete creative plan. "Snow Leopard" is the first part, and then "Eternal Number". The last part has not been decided yet. …”
"…Is there a script?"
Shen Xudong rolled his eyes at her: "There's something wrong... I'm very busy every day, and it's not like you don't know..."
"Then you said all three of them together!"
"...I recently wanted to use the writing method of American dramas to make a drama, a spy drama. I have estimated the cost, and it will cost at least 25 million!"
"You mean to take it out and let them invest in your show?"
"Yes!" Shen Xudong nodded: "And "Eternal Number"..."
Gao Fenfen thought about it...it's not impossible!
But there’s a big question: “Who is the director going to use?”
"...I had a chat with teacher Yu Rongguang two days ago. He was very interested in anti-war dramas..."
"Yu Rongguang has his own company..."
"Then let's make it together..."
Gao Fenfen hesitated for a moment...then nodded: "I'll talk to them later!"
Chen Xi interjected: "The directors of "Snow Leopard" are Liu Huining and Xu Jizhou?"
"Their execution ability is very good..."
"Then... why don't you continue to use "Never Sell the Erasable Number"?"
Shen Xudong explained: "The script has not been written yet... Teacher Yu Rongguang just had the idea of collaboration..."
"Sure," Gao Fenfen took out his notes and said, ""Snow Leopard", "Eternal Number", and a spy drama based on the logic of American drama creation...what's it called?"
""Before Dawn"…"
