Chapter 1098

When it comes to crime dramas, most of them are modern dramas. In terms of ancient dramas, there are very few that have really become popular.

In other words, under normal circumstances, fewer such episodes are produced.

Because ancient costume dramas are naturally much more expensive than modern dramas in terms of cost, because ancient costume dramas need to involve some ancient costume props, if you spend [-] cents to do it, of course it is difficult to produce high-quality goods.

Secondly, the difference between serious dramas and absurd dramas is that it is more difficult to produce serious dramas. Although absurd dramas are relatively simple, in the same way, the combination of absurd dramas and suspenseful crimes often appears nondescript.

"Working with the Hong Kong Island TV team?" Chen Dao was a little surprised.

"Yes, we can even reach a long-term cooperation. Crime dramas cannot be broadcast in prime time on our domestic TV stations, but there are no such restrictions on Hong Kong Island and Taiwan."

"Although the market is a little smaller, the Hong Kong Island TV team is known for their high efficiency. They have many years of filming experience."

"We can co-invest with them to produce some crime dramas with a background in Hong Kong Island. We only need the online copyright. This can greatly reduce the cost. Moreover, the TV drama actors on Hong Kong Island are quite famous, but their salary is not considered. high."

"Of course, we can't walk on one leg, and we need to cultivate our own team." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"What about genre?" Chen Dao asked.

"What do you think?" Lin Xiao asked back.

"I'm a clever woman, but if you can provide ideas or scripts, Mr. Lin, I don't think it will be a problem." Chen Dao said with a smirk.

"The script, as you know, I'm busy with filming a new film now, so I don't have time to write it at all, but I can provide a few script outlines and ideas." Lin Xiao said after pondering for a moment.

After that, Lin Xiao gave Chen Dao the script outlines for several projects.

As for the filling of the story content, this is not a problem.

But when he saw the script outlines given by Lin Xiao and the types of content above, Chen Dao was also a little confused.

Time-travel drama?This isn't new, but is it a time-travel drama?Do you want to do this?

However, web dramas are acceptable. The key point is that Lin Xiao's remarks on the script outline made Chen Dao look confused.

Most of the time, although it is said that in order to save costs, the costumes and other props in the play have to be simplified to a certain extent, but they are not as bad as Lin Xiao said.

Look at the follow-up, the costume detective drama?
Is there a market for this type of theme?

Moreover, the key point is that they are all dramas, which are not so easy to shoot.

Lin Xiao could see Chen Dao's doubts, but he smiled and said, "Look at Huaxun, Tianyu, and Storm.com. Each of these video sites has its own characteristics. Our Sweet Potato Video Network also has its own characteristics. We also need to create a brand.”

"So, the former is to create Internet celebrities, create topics, and hype online dramas with topics, and the latter is to build our brand of Digua Video Network. In the future, this will be the signature of Digua Video Network for a long time."

"The former does not require too much cost, but the latter needs to be refined. As for modern crime dramas, we can discuss with Hong Kong Island."

"But costume crime dramas, as far as I know, there are no outstanding dramas in the domestic market at all." Chen Dao said.

Now it was Lin Xiao's turn to be a little dazed.

"No?" Lin Xiao asked.

"No, it's not that no one shoots this kind of drama, but it can be traced back almost ten years ago, and even ten years ago, crime dramas were mainly modern dramas, suspense and detective dramas in ancient costumes, There are, but there are hardly any outstanding ones." Chen Dao did some research on this aspect.

"Then what do you think caused this result?" Lin Xiao asked.

"There are many aspects. On the one hand, crime dramas are not allowed to be broadcast in prime time, which makes it hard for dramas with this theme to sell at a good price. Naturally, powerful TV drama production companies will switch to other themes. "

"Later, online dramas began to show their prominence, but after all, online dramas have limitations, and their revenue capacity is definitely not as good as those TV dramas broadcast on stars. And costume dramas, especially costume detective dramas, can only be speculative, but There are some ancient anti-corruption historical dramas that punish corrupt officials, but such dramas require a lot of production costs, so few self-produced dramas will be involved."

"Once it comes to reasoning, the requirements for the script and the case need to be very high. Therefore, fewer and fewer people get involved. If they get involved, but fail, they will be complained about instead, which is thankless. Modern crime dramas It’s different, most of them are based on bizarre unsolved cases, and most of the time the process of solving a case is not focused on reasoning, but on technical investigation.”

Lin Xiao thought about it carefully, and it was true.

Shooting TV dramas, especially dramas with reasoning themes, has really high requirements for stories in this regard.

And this kind of drama series cannot be broadcast on the stars, or in other words, few TV stations are willing to spend a lot of money to buy a drama series that can only be broadcast in some free time.

Therefore, as a result, it is naturally impossible for many TV drama production companies to invest too much in dramas of this kind of theme, and even directly abandon scripts of this kind of theme.

This has formed a vicious circle. From the beginning to the gradual maturity of any series of themes, it needs to be tested by the market. If there are too many films, what the audience likes to watch and what they don't like to watch can form experience.

And this kind of subject matter cannot be sold at a good price, so naturally, it is gradually abandoned.

Similarly, fewer and fewer people will begin to write scripts on such subjects.

"I have seen an ancient costume detective drama adapted from an online novel by Huaxun, but the original rigorous style of the novel was adapted into a joyful comedy detective drama. The final result is naturally not very good. Even if people scold them, ordinary audiences will not buy it, and as a result, there are fewer and fewer scripts with this type of theme."

On the contrary, in terms of modern crime dramas, due to the mass production of self-produced dramas, they have instead brought forth new ones, with various themes such as technical detectives, high-tech, and mysterious.

This is determined by the market. You can't test DNA in costume detectives, right?Fingerprints cannot be taken and compared, there is no monitoring, right?

This has led to less routines for you to use in ancient costume detective dramas, and the requirements for scripts, stories, and cases have become more brilliant.

This can be said to be the reason of the market, not because the theme is not good, but because the market restricts people's development of this theme.
