Chapter 215 It Is the Beginning of Summer, and Everything Is Flourishing.
Zeng Li, nestled in Yang Lingyue's arms, asked: "Dear, why do you think there are fewer and fewer movies with connotation? Is it true that the ability of practitioners is getting worse and worse?"
"This question is very complicated. Judging from the perspective of capital and market alone, shooting some superficial things can gradually eliminate audiences with connotation, and it is not laborious. In this way, facing the remaining audiences, no matter what is filmed, they will watch it with relish, and this cycle does not need to be too long." Yang Lingyue shook his head and said.
Zeng Li thought for a while, but still said: "I don't understand."
Yang Lingyue's words were very obscure because it involved a sensitive topic.
Starting from a certain Jiang literature website, literature has been divided into male and female frequencies for the first time in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.
The first thing to start was literature, and then slowly TV series, and then movies.
After having a fixed reader group, it is inevitable to extend to film and television dramas, and there is no problem with these.
In the white paper on the film and television drama ratings survey released by Datawin in 2020, there is such a data: female audiences account for 62%, and male audiences account for 38%.
"He who wins the female audience wins the world."
This sentence has long been regarded as the truth by major film and television production companies.
Then "You just lost a leg, but Zi Ling lost her love!" This kind of film and television dramas with this kind of thinking naturally became the mainstream.
"The Ming Dynasty 1566" was withdrawn from the Hunan Satellite TV a few days after it was broadcast. Is it really because the lines are "obscure and difficult to understand"?
Perhaps it is, because the main audience of Hunan Satellite TV is women.
If it were put on CCTV, it would be a different result.
Yang Lingyue once talked about this issue online in his previous life. He said sisters, wake up, stand up and boycott these brainless film and television dramas, sisters also want to see something good.
Then the private message exploded and he was scolded badly.
Although this is the fact, those who scold him can always "put aside the facts".
A very famous topic on Weibo: "If you go back to before you were born, what would you say to your mother?"
The top few comments are without exception: "Don't marry my dad."
The later generations also invented the extremely insulting word "Daddy flavor" to hold high the banner of overthrowing "patriarchy".
Be content with being an ATM!
I originally wanted to gradually feminize your men like Japan and South Korea, and you dared to stop it!
Then change the way, how should you deal with it?
"You don't need to understand, as long as the things we shoot are of good quality and can make money, we have to say that we can make money if we don't make money." Yang Lingyue smiled.
"You are going to engage in financial fraud, which is illegal." Zeng Li rubbed and said.
"The idea is clear." Yang Lingyue praised.
"But I believe in your vision." Zeng Li turned over and faced her boyfriend.
"Then I will try my best not to disappoint your trust." Yang Lingyue smiled.
Zeng Li smiled, kissed her boyfriend and said, "Okay, lie down."
"Let's go back to the bedroom."
"Stop talking nonsense, it's been a few days." Zeng Li said dissatisfiedly.
"It's not my fault." Yang Lingyue put his hands behind his head and said calmly.
It's the beginning of summer, and everything is flourishing.
As the saying goes: "The green trees are thick and the summer is long, and the reflections of the buildings are reflected in the pond."
"Dear."
Hair hung down, Zeng Li bowed her head and murmured.
.....
The next day, classes started, and work started.
Zeng Li, whose face was red, was still a little obsessed with her boyfriend before he went out.
"Why don't you rest in the morning?" Yang Lingyue chuckled.
"Annoying." Zeng Li said angrily.
Yang Lingyue went out first with a refreshed spirit, and wanted to talk to Jiang Wei about "The Hidden" before the class started.
When he arrived at Jiang Wei's office, the other party was reading a spy novel.
After a brief greeting, Yang Lingyue said straight to the point: "Teacher Jiang, I have invested in "The Hidden", but I have an idea. It would be best to cooperate with the TV station. Do you have any familiar channels?"
"The budget has not come out yet, but it must be more than 10 million. Are you sure?" Jiang Wei pulled the corner of his mouth.
"Sure, sure, definitely, it doesn't matter if there is no TV channel, we can invest alone." Yang Lingyue smiled.
"There is a channel. I have an old classmate in the production department of Southern Television. With them, there will be no problem in trial broadcasting on local stations later."
"Southern Television."
Yang Lingyue repeated, not very satisfied, after all, this drama is mainly set in Tianjin.
By the way, Southern Television is the Guangdong Provincial Television Station, which is a school of its own.
Yang Lingyue has no subsequent plans for Cantonese-themed TV series and movies, which cannot achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone.
"There are also two satellite TV stations in Shandong Province and the capital, but we don't have much dealings with them." Jiang Wei said this calmly.
"Teacher Jiang, is this okay? You make a budget first. I can transfer the preparatory expenses first, so as not to delay the progress." Yang Lingyue thought for a while and said so.
"Do you mean I will set up my own team?" Jiang Wei was still surprised even though he had experienced Cao Baoping's incident.
"Yes, but I also have two requirements. Please follow your own script for the filming content. Please let me know before you decide on the actors you are looking for. Of course, I won't force people in, and I don't have many people to force in." Yang Lingyue smiled.
Jiang Wei heard that this was not a request, and sighed again. Are investors' requirements so low?
It's said to be two requirements, but in fact there is only one, that is, the right to appoint and dismiss actors.
"Thank you, Yang Lingyue, thank you for your trust, I will give you the budget and the list of main creators as soon as possible." Jiang Wei said very touched.
"Okay, then goodbye, Teacher Jiang, I have to go to class." Yang Lingyue stood up and said goodbye.
"Okay, okay." Jiang Wei stood up, and the more he looked at Yang Lingyue, the more he liked her.
In fact, there was still half an hour before class, and the reason why Yang Lingyue came out was because the name of the novel Jiang Wei just read was "The Sound of the Wind".
"Li Zi, arrange someone to contact a writer named Mai Jia from the Lin'an Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Ask him if the film and television adaptation rights of "The Sound of the Wind" have been sold?"
"Mai Zi Mai, family home."
"Tsk, arrange it now."
"Okay, wait for your letter."
Yang Lingyue hung up the phone and couldn't help but smile. It's fun to pick up a bargain, and it's fun to keep picking up bargains.
The copyright should still be in the hands of the author. At a discussion meeting at the end of this year, the deputy director of the Film Bureau proposed that a tribute film for the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China should be shot, namely "The Founding of a Republic". This task was of course undertaken by China Film, the largest film and television company in the country.
It is not enough for state-owned enterprises to participate, so Huayi, as the leader of private film and television companies, naturally received the relevant tasks.
This is how Gao Jianqun and Chen Guofu took a different approach to make "The Sound of the Wind".
