In the Beginning, I Just Wanted to Make Money

Chapter 528 New Project

For film and television companies, what is the most worrying thing about making a drama?

In fact, there are two points. First, if it cannot pass the review, the hard-working things cannot be broadcast; second, the ratings are low, no one watches it, the audience does not buy it, and the business is not good.

The anti-Japanese drama perfectly solves two major problems!

No matter how great the anti-Japanese drama is, it is anti-Japanese. It reflects the indomitable and heroic spirit of the Chinese military and civilians in killing the enemy. There is no problem with the political stance...

After the policy was tightened, relevant departments have made it more difficult to review TV dramas with certain themes. The threshold for passing the review of ancient costume martial arts dramas has been raised, and many dramas cannot be broadcast during prime time...

Given the situation, the producers certainly chose the safe route.

Especially after the explosion of "Anti-Japanese Heroes" - "Anti-Japanese Heroes" became popular all over the country. On Taiyuan Film and Television Channel, the highest ratings reached 10.52%, surpassing all TV channels including CCTV Comprehensive Channel; in Jiangsu Film and Television, "Anti-Japanese Heroes" The ratings of "Qi Xia" were as high as 16.8%...

There is a market!

Is there a market for "Snow Leopard"?

Let’s put it this way, after Mango Channel’s solo broadcast achieved a ratings miracle, Sichuan Satellite TV’s second round of rebroadcasts pushed the provincial satellite TV rankings forward by 3 places, second only to the “leading” Mango Channel.

The ratings in 25 central cities are also extremely eye-catching. Just relying on the fierceness of this drama, Sichuan Satellite TV quickly climbed to second place. In the past few months, Sichuan Satellite TV's most common ranking was 8-10.

Then, Heilongjiang Satellite TV, Jiangxi Satellite TV, including Hubei Satellite TV, not only prime time rebroadcasts, but also arranged rebroadcasts during the day...

There’s even a big broadcast on the weekends – eight episodes in one day!

How are the ratings?

The stretching effect is still obvious!

And... on Youku, Tudou, and Sohu video viewing platforms, the performance of "Snow Leopard" is also almost heroic: it has dominated the daily click-through rate rankings for one month in a row. In the weekly click-through rankings, the show has more than 27 million views. Smiling Proud Group Drama…

It's strange that the media doesn't pay much attention to "Snow Leopard". There are very few relevant reports. At most, they criticize it...

No matter what, within one year, three hit dramas, produced by Tianmei, became more and more famous as must-have products...

"Wulin Gaiden" and "Soldier Assault" - the two giants of carousel...

After all, "Snow Leopard" will be aired at the end of the year, and even if it is counted as a rerun, it will have to be counted next year...

Oh, and add "The Conspiracy", that's the Big Three...

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" ranked second with 46 replays...

The drama "Snow Leopard" directly brought Zhu Awen to the level of public awareness, so much so that when he reported to the company, a bunch of people took the initiative to say hello...

Zhu Awen has been filming "Crossing Guandong". Although he knows the situation of "Snow Leopard", after all, he is on the crew and does not know how popular it is...

When I arrived at the company, I probably felt something!

I said hello all the way, my face almost stiff, and I walked into Chen Xi's office. The latter was having a heated discussion with two men. When he saw Zhu Awen coming in, he quickly introduced: "Teacher Li, Director Zhang, this is Zhu Awen." Wen...look at his spirit!"

The person called Director Zhang looked at Zhu Awen and nodded: "It does look similar..."

"Then...the starring role has been decided?"

After a pause, Chen Xi continued: "Otherwise, let him put on makeup and change his clothes, and we can see it again?"

"also…"

Then the costume designer came in and took Zhu Awen out and into the dressing room. Zhu Awen looked confused and asked the makeup artist: "Who should I audition for?"

"...Don't worry, wait until I finish the makeup and you can see it again!"

Although Zhu Awen was very curious, he waited patiently. Twenty minutes later, the makeup artist asked him to open his eyes and looked at his new image in the mirror. He suddenly realized something: "I...I want to play Zhou..."

"...Haha, let the director and producer take a look first before talking!"

In the office, screenwriter Li Weiqiang and director Zhang Yongxin are still discussing actors with Chen Xi: "...we also need to audition other actors..."

Then they saw Zhu Awen walking in, and both of them stopped talking.

so similar!

Pulling Zhu Awen to ask various questions...

After chatting for half an hour, the two of them were satisfied: "Mr. Chen, we are leaving first..."

"Hey, then I won't disturb the two teachers!"

The two left, and Zhu Awen sat down: "Sister? What project is it?"

""Our French Years"... we jointly produced it with the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and China Central Television, playing the role of the Prime Minister!"

“…how did this project come about?”

"Your boss admires the Prime Minister... He asked the deputy director of the Propaganda Department to make a big drama with weight. It happened that he also had the idea, and we hit it off immediately, so we made a drama reflecting the work-study movement of early proletarian revolutionaries studying in France..."

The main plot of "Our French Years" is that Zhou Xiangyu, Deng Xixian and others went to France one after another. They sought survival and truth, witnessed the French Communist Party and the bottom labor revolutionary movement, and successively organized "Anti-Hunger Conference", "Donation Conference", A series of patriotic movements such as the "University of Lyon Incident"...

Finally, they consciously gathered under the banner of communism and established the European branch of the Chinese Communist Youth League...

Zhu Awen was quite surprised: "Sister Gao is actually a fan of the Prime Minister?"

"It's you, Director Shen..."

"Director Shen?"

"What's wrong? You, Director Shen, are a party member and your heart is pointing towards the sun. What's the problem?"

Mr. Shen, with a red heart facing the sun, is playing golf...

Serious golf!

The golfers are Director Chen, Uncle Ge, Feng Xiaogang...

Feng Xiaogang was very interested in golf, and Uncle Ge was brought here to talk about "Famous".

After two swings, Shen Xudong completely lost interest in golf and sat next to Uncle Ge: "...I think indoor sports are more reliable. I can't accept this kind of wind and sun!"

"Where is the wind and sun?"

"...This is December, and the ultraviolet rays are not strong. Try summer!"

"Where can't it be dried into coal?"

"…Um…"

Shen Xudong hummed, and then Uncle Ge said: "Your script for "Famous" is pretty good... I'll play Guan Jingnian..."

"Master, you like it? That's no problem..."

"The director will play Li Jiahui, Zheng Qianli should just let Xiaogang play..."

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Director Feng...Of course Director Feng's acting skills are fine, but my role is used to satirize bad film directors...and Director Feng also wants to film "Mobile Phone 2", right?"

Feng Xiaogang, who had just sat down, said casually: "It's okay. I read the script. It's good. It can be filmed in one room in twenty days!"

Shen Xudong nodded and continued: "Wu Xiaojing must be Wu Jing, Yu Mengdie is looking for teacher Yu Feihong... then... Sir, who are Lu Ziye, Qi Leshan and Hai Zhaofeng looking for?"

Uncle Ge thought about it: "Lu Ziye...how is Jiang Wen?"

"I heard that Teacher Jiang Wen likes to change scripts when filming. What do you think, Director Feng?"

"It's okay, we are all here, he won't get sick!"

"Now the only ones left are Qi Leshan and Hai Zhaofeng... Hai Zhaofeng, I found a comedian named Shen Teng. You guys can take a look..."

"We can trust your judgment... Now only Qile Mountain is left."

Uncle Ge was stumped: "Qile Mountain..."

Feng Xiaogang suggested: "Let Guo Li try it?"

Shen Xudong scratched his head: "Uncle Zhang...Uncle Zhang...could he be too kind?"

Qi Leshan is a murderer...

"Who are you looking for?"

"Hu Jun?"

"Hu Jun...you can try..."

Uncle Ge interjected: "Hey, who will be the director of your play?"

Shen Xudong slapped his chest: "Me!"

Hearing this, Director Chen stopped swinging: "Are you going to be a director?"

"Well," Shen Xudong nodded: "With so many top celebrities starring at the same time, it would be a pity if I don't become a director..."

"Then do you know how to do it?"

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "It's okay, I asked Teacher Zhang Li for photography... I asked Teacher Xiao Haihang for art design, I also asked Teacher Li Zhou for styling design, I contacted Wu Baoling for costume design, and Cai Lixiong for lighting..."

Feng Xiaogang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Are you filming a movie or forming a team?"

"Then I don't know much, so I'll find some professionals!"

"Then you're not afraid that they won't listen to you?"

"What am I afraid of? You are here!"
