Chapter 72 Where Can I Get a Good Rural-Themed Script? (Additional Chapter for "Ordovician Radiation")
May was the most uncomfortable month for Pu Jie since he wrote "Rural Rogue Doctor".
At the beginning of the month, he was inexplicably paid for "financial problems", which was equivalent to directly taking 10,000 yuan from his coffers.
In the first half of the month, he was recommended in two places, and his average subscription suddenly increased.
In the middle and late part of the month, he was rushed by a gang of book friends called LSP, and his average subscription was like a rocket stuck in his butt, rushing forward!
By the end of the month, he directly reached 1,000 average subscriptions.
Fortunately, Pu Jie found the reason, no longer wrote the minotaur plot, and reduced the ambiguous plot.
Only then did he barely stop the loss and pressed down the high subscription.
A group of LSP readers said that they couldn't find the taste, and some people left the market one after another.
The average subscription of "Rural Rogue Doctor" no longer increased.
"It's a close call. LSP readers are too scary. I can't write this stuff anymore. If I continue to write some minotaur plots, these people will probably give me a masterpiece!"
He is a pure love war god, and he is famous for writing minotaur plots. How shameful!
"Cao Cao is dead, but Cao the thief is still alive!"
"I'm so angry. When can our pure love war god stand up!"
"Fortunately, everything is over and we can get back on track."
Today is June 1st.
"New moon, new atmosphere. This month will definitely turn our luck around. People can't always be unlucky, right?"
Pu Jie got up from the bed again with full energy, ready to welcome a day full of hope.
After Pu Jie's hard work for a month, the word count of "Rural Rogue Divine Doctor" has reached 1.13 million words.
"It's the last month. After finishing these 370,000 words, I can win this round of challenges!"
Pu Jie is very confident.
Even if he was backstabbed by the LSP gang for half a month, it still didn't affect the overall situation.
"Haha~ What's 1,000 average subscriptions? The most I can get in a month is 10,000 yuan in royalties, haha~ haha~ haha."
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
"Fuck! Damn LSP gang, I will never reconcile with you!!!"
"Oppose pornography, gambling and drugs, starting with me, Pu Dingle!"
But it's only 10,000 yuan in royalties.
Pu Jie has already calculated that if he maintains this state this month, when he finishes the book next month, he will get at most 10,000 yuan in royalties for main site subscriptions.
The total royalties added up will never exceed the system's subsidy standard of 600,000 yuan.
"It's okay to lose a little, it's a blessing to suffer a loss. After all, I'm a potential 3 million-level small rich man, and I don't care about the gains and losses of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."
"The royalties will be paid in two days, there won't be any trouble, right?"
Pu Jie shook his head, unlikely.
The situation this time has been under his control.
Through his exquisite operation, it can be said to be foolproof.
"How about going to the 4S store in a couple of days to look at cars? As a small local tyrant of 3 million, what can I drive that matches my status?"
Pu Jie opened the car-knowledge home and started to choose a car with great interest.
Recently, Douyin was brainwashed by a song "Aloha Heja He".
Mr. Zhang's immersive rural life resonated with many people, and the popularity of the video remained high.
The highest number of likes reached 10 million!
He attracts millions of fans every day!
The big Vs of major new media began to analyze why Mr. Zhang, who looks very rustic, is so popular?
Some said that his camera editing skills are great, some said that the content of his videos is real, and some said that the nostalgic addition of the rural atmosphere.
And his videos just cater to the desire of many people to "slow down life" and let everyone have some free time in the "vacuum" time.
This popular video trend has even caused the official media to personally intervene.
People's Daily calls for more "Mr. Zhang" to appear, use professional technology to record the real China, and explore the charm of the countryside.
At the same time, the term "new farmer" became popular, and more rural content was supported by traffic.
From the long-lasting new farmer craze in the short video circle, some producers and directors with a keen sense of smell in the film and television circle also realized that there seemed to be an opportunity.
Fu Weng is a third-rate director.
He is a contracted director of a local TV station in Jilin Province, specializing in shooting some special rustic TV series to broadcast for his own TV station.
He has filmed TV series with Douban scores of no more than 5.0, such as "Lucky Stars", "Double Happiness", "Leftover Matchmaker", and "Little Hairy Boy as an Official".
But he has no psychological burden. He is paid, and the TV station is responsible for the losses and profits.
He lives a pretty good life. He married a beautiful 18th-tier actress and lives a happy life.
What else can a young director from the directing department of a junior college art school in Jilin Province ask for?
Is he going to compete with those proud children of Beijing Art University for the market?
Don't joke!
Yesterday, Fu Weng just celebrated his 40th birthday and suddenly felt that he had come to his senses.
He suddenly wanted to try what it felt like to play a joke with those famous directors.
He saw the prospects of rural-themed TV series from the popularity of Zhang Tongxue on Douyin.
"Everyone is shooting urban, science fiction, ancient costume, and fairy tales. Then I will make a rural drama, at least it will be unique in the market!"
The rustic TV series he shot before were only broadcast on various local TV stations, and were watched by middle-aged and elderly people who were still using TV.
They don't look at Douban ratings, and there's nothing good to choose from. These family stories are simple and fun to watch.
If you shoot something profound, these customer groups won't understand it!
So. Does he want to make a bad movie?
No!
It's the customers who need bad movies!
Is he unable to make a good movie?
No. Well, I can't say for sure, anyway, I haven't made one.
You can try.
Fu Weng is satisfied with his life now, his family is harmonious and happy, and he has some savings. It's time to pursue something else.
When he blew the four candles on the cake just now, he suddenly remembered that when he was in college, several young people who couldn't even get into college held hands and shouted in the playground:
"I want to make a good movie! I want to compete for the Oscars! I want to let Chinese movies go to the world!"
Unfortunately, they only achieved the 7th to 9th words.
One shot after another.
But Fu Weng believes that he still has some talent, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in Jilin TV for so long and directed so many bad movies.
Proves that at least the ratings are not bad among the common people.
"If you want to shoot, you must find a big production company to invest in it. Penguin and dried mango are both good."
After all, after working in this industry for so many years, Fu Weng has some acquaintances in these two big studios, and he can make some connections to introduce them.
Before, it's not that no one has asked him to shoot a web drama, but he never dared to try.
Today, he decided to give it a try.
"Then the question is, where can I get a good rural-themed script?"
He doesn't plan to use the black iron screenwriters who wrote scripts for Jilin Provincial TV Station.
"Bah! Douban's score is not more than 5.0, it's all because of those scriptwriters!"
The rural-themed TV series he is going to shoot this time is called the new farmer TV series by him!
"Look, I keep up with the trends, there will be no problem! All I need is a good script."
"By the way, I remember that Wei Fan seems to be filming a TV series recently. Do you have any good recommendations?"
When Wei Fan just graduated, he worked as his assistant director for a while, and they had a good relationship. He knew that this little brother had great ambitions and was a top student. In the future, he would not be like him and be content to be a contracted director of a provincial TV station.
Fu Weng called Wei Fan.
Secretly added.
