At first, I just wanted to make money

"Director choice? What director choice?"

"..."The Thieves"!"

Chen Xi was surprised: "Aren't you the director of "The Thieves"?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I will not direct this kind of purely entertainment blockbuster. I am going to let the newcomers practice it!"

"Newbie?"

"It's not a newcomer either. After Han Yan came back from Hollywood, he always wanted to make a blockbuster film with special effects. I mentioned it to him. He was very interested. I plan to let him be the director, and arrange a few assistant directors... I will supervise the production!"

"How many assistant directors are you looking for? Do you want to make it into a series?"

"It is definitely going to be made into a series... This subject matter is very suitable..."

"As long as you like it..." Chen Xi replied casually, and then remembered something: "Can't the "Ghost Blowing Lantern" series be done?"

"...It's hard to say!"

Shen Xudong sighed, the two quickened their pace, arrived at the office, and called Gao Fenfen along the way.

"Tomb robbery itself is illegal. In terms of criminal law, QJ is 7-10 years, and grave robbery is more than 10 years...together it is adultery and robbery..."

Gao Fenfen hurriedly interrupted: "But, our "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" belongs to the type of treasure hunting adventure..."

"Hear me out!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "The theme of tomb robbery is actually divided into two parts. One is realistic theme, which is criminal investigation theme. Tomb robbery is a criminal activity. This is a realistic theme. Representative works such as "Tomb Road" and "Chang'an Road", and the other is magical suspense theme. , the connotation of this theme has nothing to do with tomb robbing, tomb robbing is just an incision... But no matter what, tomb robbing is always wrong..."

Chen Xi immediately said: "You mean the person who robbed the tomb must be a villain and have no good end, so that the radio and television will agree to the project?"

"Ok!"

"But I don't think that's the case. In today's market, tomb robbing movies have become a trend. As far as I know, there are at least seven or eight tomb robbing related themes.
item…"

"That's what I'm worried about!" Shen Xudong said in a very serious tone: "In the past, there was only "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", and the radio and television turned a blind eye to it and it passed. This is not the case now... it will soon become a mainstream theme!"

Gao Fenfen also realized something: "Mainstream themes..."

"Yes!" Shen Xudong nodded: "It's not that it can't be filmed, but the location is wrong. The best actors and the best companies are all engaged in tomb robbery. Dozens of tomb robbery scenes are filmed a year. What do you think the General Administration will think?"

"Abetting a crime?"

"Well, with a big hat off, the whole theme is completely over!"

……

In fact, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" or "Tomb Raiders Notes" alone are not qualified to "instigate crime". Whether it is "Ghost Blows the Lantern" or "Tomb Raiders Notes", what is written in it is not something that ordinary people can copy!
The real tomb robbery is a very boring and frightening activity. There are very few talented tomb robbers who can smell the soil, distinguish colors, and listen to thunder to locate the innate tomb robbers.

First estimate the location through rough records and rumors, and then talk to the locals, or simply be a local yourself and be able to determine the more accurate mountains and hills, and then go up the mountain to explore when the moon is dark, the wind is high, or there is no one around. , use the so-called "square earth" shovel from Luoyang, and use simple backfill soil to distinguish whether there are underground man-made structures. After determining the answer, use an iron skewer to explore the tomb chamber. Under normal circumstances, if you are lucky, you will be able to explore a few It takes ten attempts to find it, and then it’s time to dig a robbery hole, go down a pit, and get cultural relics.

Will these detailed processes be written about in literary works?No, because no one wants to watch it. What everyone wants to watch is machine weapons, puzzles, zombies, ghost legends... So the whole low-magic plane has to come out at every turn. Sometimes the author is not good at writing, and it is easy to write fantasy. For example, "Tomb Raiders Notes"...

If you really want to instigate crimes, "Water Margin" clearly describes the techniques, steps, and methods of crimes in the plot where Wang Po, Ximen Qing, and Pan Jinlian killed Wu Dalang with arsenic. So does "Water Margin" involve teaching crimes? Method crime?

If people don't care about this, they will ban it for you!
……

"What I mean is, after filming the six main sequels of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", it's almost done. As for the previously set spin-offs, let's stop developing them and spread our resources to other places!"

"How many more main stories are there?"

Chen Xi replied: "Kunlun Temple, Return to the South China Sea, and Wuxia Coffin Mountain..." "Does that mean there are three more?"

""Wuxia Coffin Mountain" is divided into two parts...four works!"

Gao Fenfen thought about it: "One movie a year, and it won't end until 17..."

Shen Xudong said: "Can you guarantee that there will be no accidents in these four years? That the policy will not change?"

"Policy changes again..."

"Sister Gao, I know you have something to do with it, and so do I, but no matter how much we have something to do with it, we can't go against the policy. It won't feel good to be roasted on the fire!"

"what do you mean?"

"Just take it when you see it..."

"What about our film and television city?"

"...Continue to develop web dramas, you can also make web movies..."

Chen Xi interjected: "Dragon TV is preparing to imitate Mango Channel and produce weekly dramas in non-prime time slots..."

"Weekly drama?"

Weekly dramas are an imported product, borrowed from the drama broadcast format of Britain, the United States, Japan and South Korea, which means dramas that are updated every week.

The same is true for Korean dramas. Anyone who is familiar with Korean dramas knows that according to the weekly update time, Korean dramas include moonfire dramas, water and wood dramas, Jinyao dramas, golden earth dramas, and daily dramas.

"I want to open up new markets... After all, it has a good reputation, and it is easier to attract advertising and investment... Moreover, during non-prime time periods, the review is much looser than during prime time periods."

Chen Xi continued: "Some time ago, I contacted them and told them that they were going to make an online drama "Jingjue Ancient City" and they wanted to introduce it to the broadcast..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "Internet-station linkage is not that simple. We are going to release the first six episodes of VIP directly, and then update four episodes every week. What will they do? If it is made into a weekly drama, there will be four episodes a week at most, which will not keep up with ours." efficiency…"

"That…"

"We're done broadcasting, and we can sell it to second-tier satellite TV's prime time or first-tier satellite TV's daytime program..."

"You can't make much money, can you?"

Second-tier satellite TV purchases dramas at a very low price, almost ten times lower than first-tier satellite TV!
No way, after the satellite TV ranks, the advertiser will pay directly according to the ratings. If your ratings are low, why should you charge a high price?

Therefore, many satellite TV advertisements are occupied by fake drugs.

Dial any terrestrial channel, and as long as it's not showing a program, it's definitely broadcasting a Putian hospital advertisement.

These advertisements cover a wide range, ranging from high blood pressure, diabetes, femoral head necrosis, ED, to low back pain and psoriasis, and they will use them to make a big fuss about any chronic disease that cannot be cured immediately in the hospital.

What’s wrong with a lot of infertility ads?

Are we just that many infertile people?

Uh, by the way, there are also Stanley compound fertilizers, Golden Nonghua Sunny Sky, and Four Seasons Muge Solar Energy.

Shen Xudong shrugged: "It doesn't matter. For video platforms, instead of using the same money to buy copyrights at high prices, self-made content obviously has a more proactive return cycle and voice!"

"Then "Nine-story Demon Tower" reduces the promotional efforts?"

"There's no need...just promote as usual." Speaking of this, Shen Xudong suddenly remembered something: ""Nine-Storey Demon Tower" is so powerful, how about the first week of "The Wind Listener" and "The Vanishing Bullet"?"
