My singer girlfriend is super fierce

Chapter 939 "In the Name of the People" is launched

In fact, while filming "The Condor", Ye Zhiqiu had already had the idea of ​​putting "In the Name of the People" on the screen.

In its previous life, this was a "phenomenal" hit drama that achieved both good results and good reputation. During the broadcast period, it set a real-time peak rating of over 7, and the single-episode ratings set the highest record in the history of domestic TV dramas in the past ten years. A series of records.

The magical thing about this drama is that it is obviously a serious drama with serious themes, but it can "catching up" audiences in multiple age ranges of those born in the 70s, 80s and even the 90s.

The reason for this is not only the brilliance of the plot itself, but also the wonderful performance of a group of "veteran drama actors" in the play.

In fact, there are a total of 80 actors in this drama, of which more than 40 are "veteran actors" alone, a staggering proportion of more than [-]%. Therefore, netizens jokingly called it "a stab at the veteran actors' nest."

During the filming of "The Condor Shooting", the veteran actors who finally got together got along very well and formed a tacit understanding. Naturally, Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to just do this one-time deal.

Except for a few characters who are suitable and can continue to join the cast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", all of them happened to be moved to "In the Name of the People". This is not enough...

As for broadcasting exclusively on Penguin Video, Ye Zhiqiu also thought about it.

The first thing is of course the price. One of the important reasons why the two parties have been able to cooperate for so long is that the conditions given by Penguin Video have always been leading in the industry.

Secondly, and most importantly, is the issue of “passing the review”.

This is not to say that "In the Name of the People" cannot pass the review, but it can be expected that if this drama wants to be broadcast on TV stations like "The Condor", due to the sensitivity of the subject matter and content, the review time will most likely be longer than usual. The drama is much better.

It's okay to follow the normal process, but if something changes in the middle and needs to be reshot or modified, then the time will be lost and Ye Zhiqiu's plan will be greatly disrupted.

Will the censorship standards be loosened when broadcasting on online channels?

No, but it can indeed be broadcast faster.

No matter which channel a drama wants to be broadcast on, the censorship standards are the same. The difference is that online dramas are "self-censored" and TV dramas are "exclusively censored."

To put it simply, if your drama wants to be broadcast on a TV station, it must be submitted to a specialized national administrative agency for review. However, if it is broadcast on an online channel, if the review agency has delegated authority, it can be "self-reviewed and self-broadcast."

The efficiency of asking others to do things is certainly different from doing things yourself.

Nowadays, many young people watch dramas. Even if they can be watched on TV stations, they are accustomed to watching them on computers or mobile phones, so Ye Zhiqiu thinks there is no problem in broadcasting them on online channels first.

At most, after the first broadcast on Penguin Video, it will be a star during the second broadcast, that is also okay...

Here, Ye Zhiqiu's full confidence made Cheng Bo of Penguin Video fall into a huge entanglement.

If someone asked him to collaborate on a drama and said it would surpass "The Condor Heroes" and its sequel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he would most likely feel that the other party was bragging.

But the target was Ye Zhiqiu... He couldn't help but not believe it!

Thinking of a theme like "anti-corruption" that comes with its own hit-and-run buff... Cheng Bo's face changed several times, but he finally calmed down and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay!"

"We Penguins want this show!"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng. The crew is still in the early stages of preparation. If you are interested, you can send someone to review the script before making a decision."

Cheng Bo is also a courageous person. Now that he has made a decision, he no longer worries about gains and losses. He waved his hand and said: "No! I trust you, Zhiqiu."

"You have already taken action personally, brother, I can rest assured!"

That's right, Cheng Bo was betting, and Ye Zhiqiu's seemingly impossible successes made him decide to bet.

If the bet is successful, Penguin Video will take the position of "leader" in the industry, and he will be able to make further progress. Being popular and drinking spicy food is not a problem.

But if you lose the bet... it's not easy to mess up a big project worth [-] to [-] million yuan in your own hands. People from other factions in the company will inevitably use it as an excuse, and you will follow in the footsteps of your predecessor. possible.

Therefore, Cheng Bo decided to add another layer of insurance and said hurriedly: "Hey, Zhiqiu, you still have the online broadcast rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", you must continue to leave it to me."

"Everything is easy to negotiate, I guarantee your satisfaction!"

Cheng Bo has not forgotten the purpose of making this call. There is a question mark as to whether "In the Name of the People" will be a hit, but a project like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" that cannot be lost cannot be let go.

By then I have completed two "S" level projects, so what if I lose one?No one can defeat yourself!

......

In the next few days, Ye Zhiqiu continued to stay in Beijing and did not go to other cities to participate in publicity activities with the "I'm Not the God of Medicine" crew.

In addition to participating in the third screening of the Spring Festival Gala, he organized the scripts of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "In the Name of the People" and sent them to Huahai Entertainment.

He had been writing these two stories intermittently before, and it didn't take much time.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has long been planned, and the preliminary preparations have been carried out before, and the framework of the crew was quickly set up.

The director will continue to be Zhang Kaicheng, who directed "The Condor", and the heroine has long been confirmed to be Long Yuqing.

As for the choice of the male protagonist "Yang Guo", Huahai Entertainment originally thought that Ye Zhiqiu would be the natural choice. After all, according to the description of Yang Guo's appearance in the book as "qing and handsome, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes", Ye Zhiqiu couldn't be more suitable...

However, the show "In the Name of the People" made this plan seem unfeasible.

If the two dramas start shooting at the same time, it is unlikely that Ye Zhiqiu will play the leading role in both.

In fact, it is very common for some stars who have many filming appointments to be "stuck in scenes", that is, they take on multiple filmings at the same time, and after one group is finished filming, they rush to another set...

This "continuous" assembly line model makes actors more efficient, but it also has a fatal flaw. Actors constantly switch between roles with different backgrounds and personalities, making it difficult to get into the role.

Moreover, it also seems disrespectful to the actors in the same crew.

After all, everyone else is putting their heart and soul into it. If you affect your own state and shooting progress because of your involvement in the scene, you are actually harming the interests of others in disguise.

Although Ye Zhiqiu's status means that no one in the drama team would dare to raise an opinion, but he has very high standards for his works, so naturally he would not choose this method.

For this reason, the actor for the role of "Yang Guo" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been put on hold for the time being, and will be slowly selected and decided after the Spring Festival.

On the other hand, the progress of "In the Name of the People" will be slower.

There are several veterans of the National Theater in "The Condor". Out of respect, it would be best for Ye Zhiqiu to call and invite them personally. This is not difficult.

But when it comes to choosing a director, it puts Huahai Entertainment in a bit of a bind.
