The program team lost contact, and the desert island live broadcast reversed the character design

Chapter 256 (Speed ​​up the pace) Choose songs and movies, recognize heroes with a keen eye

As he thought about it day and night, inspiration finally struck Su Zhe.

He thought of the theme song——

Tao Zhe's "Just Love You"!

Needless to say, the quality and classicness of this song go without saying, and Tao Zhe is so lazy that neither he nor his works have gained a comparable reputation.

The most important thing is that the lyrics [I have always wanted to say to you, you give me unexpected happiness, like an oasis to the desert], are simply a reflection of Jiang Naoshu's heart.

It's normal for Yuan Xiangqin to like Jiang Zhishu, because Jiang Zhishu is handsome, good at studies, good at sports, and even good at cooking. He is perfect except for being sinister (the original drama also likes cold violence, Zhu Guosong changed it, otherwise he will be scolded ).

This kind of person is a popular lover in any school.

But why does Jiang Zhishu like Yuan Xiangqin?

The play uses a classic idol drama setting - I love the heroine’s innocence and kindness!

But another thing is that I like her silly happiness, which complements Jiang Zhishu's excellent but unhappy heart.

You give me unexpected happiness, like an oasis in the desert!

"That's it!"

Su Zhe was so excited that he finished the recording in one morning. Jia Xin couldn't help but sigh:

"Watching you record songs every day, I thought it was so easy. It wasn't until I saw Liu Heluo before that I realized the difference between people..."

After recording the song and briefly processing it, Su Zhe took it to Zhu Guosong, Yan Xiling, Dong Wenxue and others to listen.

After they heard it, their reaction was completely different from when they heard "Prank":

"As expected of a musical talent! This is amazing!"

"You can even write the theme song so well. It seems that I will be stricter with you in the future."

Su Zhe begged for mercy. Changing the theme song takes too much effort. It is much more difficult than copying the song directly. Next time, try to copy the original theme song.

There is no need to torture yourself like this.

However, Yan Xiling's heart moved and she thought of a way:

"Su Zhe, the quality of this song is so high, it's just the right time to hype it up and make pop music fans call on you to release a love song! Then you can follow the trend and transform."

Get the rhythm right first to avoid being scolded if you just sing a love song.

Su Zhe nodded thoughtfully and said:

"Then this drama is not only related to my film and television career and the future of the company, but also related to my transformation in the music industry."

Zhu Guosong felt the pressure and said quickly:

"I just finished rough editing the first few episodes, how about you guys take a look?"

Su Zhe, Yan Xiling, Dong Wenxue and others looked at it carefully and determined:

"It's done! It will definitely become a classic."

"Director Zhu, letting you direct is really the best choice I have ever made!"

Zhu Guosong showed a little pride on his face and said modestly:

"The main reason is that you wrote the script well."

Everyone was enjoying themselves and complimenting each other, and at this moment, Su Zhe's system displayed——

[Creating a classic character: Academic Master (0.2%)]

[Drawing rewards: Recognize heroes with a keen eye (elementary level), accurately judge film and television talents. 】

Su Zhe was not surprised by the percentage behind the top students. He had already figured out that the key to the character system was public recognition.

"Kiss" has just cut out a few episodes, and no audience has seen it at all. The fact that it is progressing already shows that its quality is very high.

What he cares about is the reward -

Know your heroes!

This is so important for a start-up film and television company!

Without directing talent, how can he restore the classics of his previous life? Without marketing talent, how could he sell the box office of his previous life? Without management talent, how can he contact theaters?

Must rise to the top!

Su Zhe's heart moved:

"Can Jiang Naoshu push the [Academic Master]'s progress to over 90%?"

He was not sure, but it felt difficult. He had performed the best Huo Qubing in his two lives, and [Young General] was still only over 60 years old.

No matter how classic his portrayal of Jiang Naoshu is, it would be difficult to achieve such a high level of progress with just one character.

"So if you choose a movie, it's best to choose a male protagonist who is a master of academics?"

Su Zhe was thoughtful, which eliminated almost all the movies he had previously chosen.

But don't worry, you can shoot it later. Only when you have better talents can you ensure that his script will not be wasted.

"As for movies with male protagonists who learn to dominate..."

Su Zhe couldn't find it for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that top students are all male partners?

For example, the plum blossom in Charlotte's Sorrow...

After thinking for a long time, he remembered that the male protagonist of "To Youth" is a top student. Wait, there seems to be "Sadness Against the River"?

This isn’t classic either!

Su Zhe only felt that he was the river of sadness. If he copied these two dramas, his progress would probably be derailed, right? !

He had no choice but to think more widely and expand his film selection——

There are two films from Taiwan, "Genius Gunman" and "A Little Thing About First Love", and the male protagonists are both top academics.

There is also an Asan film "Three Idiots in Bollywood", in which Aamir Khan plays the protagonist who is also a top student.

Hollywood also has it, such as "Good Will Hunting" and some biopics...

But many details of foreign movies are different from domestic ones, so they are not easy to copy! Certain magical changes must be made.

Su Zhe scratched his head and sighed. He could only find a foreign movie to make magic changes. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of an excellent movie that he had ignored——

Jay Chou's "The Secret That Can't Be Told"!

Although the male protagonist Ye Xianglun is not a top student in our traditional perception, he is clearly a music top student because he won the piano duet at the music school and won the favor of the school beauty (Qingyi) and the heroine (Lu Xiaoyu).

It's just that Jay Chou acted like a bit of a loser, and he wasn't acting. He didn't have the acting skills, it was just his temperament...you understand?

This film has a rating of 8.1 and a good reputation. Although the box office was average, it was obviously made at the wrong time.

If you look at today's era where there are so many bloody youth movies, this youth movie, which has no sex or depravity, only pure emotions and a hint of fantasy, is simply a dimensionality-reducing blow.

In particular, this movie has a hint of suspense. Most viewers can understand it after watching it once, but it takes several times to find all the details. It is the movie that can most arouse the audience's desire to watch more.

In the era of self-media, countless semi-professional film critics like this kind of movie the most. If they continue to interpret the details, they can gain a lot of clicks, which in turn will help the movie increase its popularity.

"Director Jay, your movie was a bit ahead of its time before and didn't get the results it deserved; but now it's just right. I will definitely give you a fair evaluation!"

Su Zhe finally made up his mind.

It's just that he didn't expect that as a big fat sheep that Jay Chou must gather for time travellers, the first time he went to gather, what he gathered was not a song, but a movie?

It's quite humorous when you think about it.

After having the idea, Su Zhe "created" the script in less than two hours in one night.

The crew can just use the original cast of "Kiss", they are all well adapted.

But Zhu Guosong is in post-production and definitely doesn’t have time to direct. Moreover, he is just a TV series director and is not very familiar with movie lenses.

It is not impossible to make movies using the lens of TV series. For example, in "33 Days of Love", director Teng Hua T used the method of shooting TV series to shoot movies and achieved good results.

But this also resulted in the film not having any cinematic quality, and even not being as good as some major internet companies. People inside and outside the film industry attributed the film’s performance to the screenwriter and the two leading actors. Director Teng’s greatest advantage was that he didn’t make blind changes.

But Su Zhe didn't want to make "The Secret That Cannot Be Telled" into a TV series and live up to the wonderful plot.

In fact, he could choose to direct it himself and copy it according to the original play. The reason why Bad Kiss didn't do this before was because the camera language was too old.

But the texture of Secret is considered excellent among youth films, and there is no shame in him replicating it one to one.

But after thinking about it, he still felt that being a director was too tiring. Long Aotian Company couldn't rely on him alone and had to cultivate some talents.

So he decided to interview, just in time to try out the skills of "Recognizing Heroes with a Wisdom of Eyes".

Directors are different from authors. Authors have very low creative costs and can get into the industry with just a pen or a keyboard. Therefore, many talented writers have emerged whether it is traditional or online writing.

But directors are different. Even a small production requires tens or even millions to shoot tightly.

Theater movies are different from small-scale productions. The cost can easily exceed hundreds or tens of millions. If you don’t have a mine at home, it will be difficult to enter the industry on your own.

If a director wants to enter the industry, he can only attract investment, gain qualifications, and meet noble people. Otherwise, he will not even get a chance to prove himself, and it will be difficult for young talents to emerge.

People always believe in age and experience, but in fact, even in the field of science, it is young people who are most likely to produce results. For example, Newton discovered the laws of mechanics at the age of 23, and Einstein proposed the special theory of relativity at the age of 26.

Not to mention the field of popular art, what do a bunch of old men know about young people’s hobbies?Maybe I still despise it in my heart.

Therefore, there must be many outstanding young directors hidden in this industry, but they just cannot get the chance to prove themselves.

But now, Su Zhe has already set up the crew, script and actors. Even if it turns out to be a piece of shit, it can be released based on his reputation. All he needs to do is find a director.

What a rare opportunity!

Young directors in the industry who were waiting for a chance to make their mark were so excited that they signed up one after another.

Su Zhe had to ask Yan Xiling to help with one round of screening before he interviewed them in person, looked at their works and resumes, and discussed ideas with them in person.

<divclass="contentadv">In this process, he also discovered the role of [Knowing Heroes through Eyes of Wisdom].

A keen eye cannot replace professional knowledge. When directors talk about director knowledge that Su Zhe does not understand, he still cannot distinguish the good from the bad.

But he can vaguely see the other person's character. Is it frank or exaggerated? Is it the truth or a lie? Is it humility or bragging?

This is enough.

With the help of his keen eye, Su Zhe conducted extensive interviews and finally discovered a piece of rough jade.

Sun Mei is an unattractive, short and fat female director who has just turned thirty years old.

She is dumb and doesn't know how to brag. She can't even be a director in the advertising industry. She can only be an executive director and be responsible for shooting some scenes.

But she is proficient in painting, her shots are amazing, and she is a genius who can let the pictures speak for themselves.

Su Zhe gave her a script from "The Secret That Cannot Be Told," and she was able to draw out the scene script with a pencil on the spot without thinking.

Su Zhe watched it and found that it was better than the original film, so he made up his mind to use this newcomer.

Not only that, he decided to let Long Aotian sign Sun Mei.

"Teacher Sun, Long Aotian Company is just a start-up. I wonder if you are willing to join..."

"I do!" Sun Mei didn't wait for him to finish, just like a money-worshiping girl who heard a rich second-generation proposal, she desperately agreed.

Su Zhe realized how rare the opportunities in the industry were.

This is true for actors and even more so for directors.

After signing Sun Mei, Su Zhe handed her the script and asked her to leave, but heard Dong Wenxue suggest:

"Su Zhe, why don't you become a director? For publicity, you can write, direct, act, sing, and single-handedly produce the movie. What a great publicity stunt!"

Su Zhe also considered becoming a director himself, but after seeing Sun Mei's storyboard, he realized:

"Let her do it. She is higher than me and can make "Secret" even better."

He still feels guilty for plagiarizing previous classics, but if he can make the classics better, it can be considered a kind of compensation.

Dong Wenxue smiled and said:

"Why are you so stupid? I'm so grateful that Sun Mei can be the assistant director. She is so honest and won't go out and talk nonsense."

Su Zhe was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses:

Dong Wenxue wanted him to be named director, and let Sun Mei, the assistant director, do the actual work.

In fact, this is what some cross-border directors do——

Put your own name on it and find a talented assistant director who has no chance to do the job that a director should do.

Don’t be offended, how many people want to be named but haven’t had the chance yet!When a cross-border person gains fame, he also gets opportunities and rewards, right?

Some circles are even darker, and honest people deserve to be bullied. The results of their hard work are all attributed to the leaders, and they have no fame or fortune, and no chance of advancement.

Su Zhe took a deep look at Dong Wenxue and felt wary of her, but just smiled and said:

"It's not necessary. I don't lack this kind of fame, and "Secret" doesn't need this kind of gimmick."

Dong Wenxue was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to praise:

"Su Zhe, you have such a good character. Sun Mei must have met such a good Chinese boss like you because she was smoking on her ancestral grave!"

Su Zhe smiled and said nothing.

During the preparation period for the crew of "Secret", the rough cut of "Kiss" was completed, and negotiations with major websites and satellite TV began.

Those who don’t know enough will not let it go when they see that the starring roles of this drama are Su Zhe and Liu Heluo, both of whom are big traffic users;

After seeing the finished product, I can see the potential of this drama.

On major platforms and TV stations, "Bad Kiss" immediately received an S+ rating.

Unfortunately, generally speaking, the price of modern dramas is slightly lower than that of costume dramas. The online broadcast price of S+ modern dramas is about 500 million per episode, while the single episode of costume dramas is about 1000 million.

Therefore, many TV series will be filmed for a long time and are crazily filled with water. After all, if you cut out a few more episodes through editing, you can earn tens of millions more.

But in the era of the original drama "Kiss", there was no such trend. TV series with twenty or thirty episodes were the norm, and "Journey to the West" only had 25 episodes.

The same is true for "Evil Kiss". There are 30 episodes in total. Zhu Guosong only modified the details without watering down, and still maintained the length of 30 episodes.

If you calculate it this way, even if each episode costs 5 million, the entire show will only sell 150 million.

But without adding Su Zhe's salary, the cost of "Bad Kiss" is less than 20 million, and it can earn 120 million, which is considered good.

And this is just the right to broadcast on the Internet. Many TV series now have online backends. According to the double-star (two TV stations) policy for one drama, the two TV stations combined can sell another 100 million.

220 million, this is a salary that no company or any enemy could possibly give him.

Not in vain!

Su Zhe settled the accounts and was quite satisfied, but he still asked Dong Wenxue to negotiate hard. In the end, Chengzi offered the highest price, but it required a bet.

Su Zhe: ...

Although he is very confident about bad kisses, Kong Yijiang has learned from the past!

There is no need to gamble so much on sex. No matter how classic Kiss is, it is still an old movie and there is a possibility that it will not adapt to the local environment.

It's better to settle for safety.

In the end, it was Liu Heluo’s employer, Penguin, who offered the highest regular price. After all, they would gain more when Liu Heluo became popular——

A single episode costs 600 million, with a total price of million, and Penguin will bear an additional million marketing expenses for promotion.

At the same time, the variety show "Let's Study" was sold with a total price of 10 million.

Don’t be too little, the cost of this crappy variety show is almost zero——

Tutors, food and accommodation, and plane tickets all add up to tens of thousands of dollars.

Long Aotian's company earned 190 million within a few months of its establishment, which was faster than robbing money.

Su Zhe looked at the money in his account, thought about it, and decided to pay himself a salary of 100 million.

Even if you have to pay more personal income tax if you do this, it is better to put it on the company's account for your own consumption.

But trivial knowledge - using company money to consume shareholders is an inflated cost and is also considered tax evasion.

Usually the boss has no one to care about him, but Su Zhe must have someone keeping an eye on him, no matter how cautious he is, he can't be too cautious.

He is satisfied with his income and even has some regrets:

"It's a pity that such a classic idol drama only sold less than 200 million, and Penguin made a lot of money!"

He also felt that he was at a loss, but everyone in the circle was envious of him.

For example, Liu Heluo earned 6000 million a year at her peak, but Penguin took 7% of it. Adding in other companies that split the money, she only had 600 million left.

An annual income of six million is an exaggeration for most people in China, but it is nothing in the entertainment industry, let alone compared with Su Zhe.

She couldn't help but call Su Zhe and sighed:

"It's great to open your own company... Su Liangyi!"

The sour smell came through the phone.

Su Zhe rolled his eyes:

"Are you jealous? If you are jealous, go out and do it alone."

Liu Heluo is very self-aware:

"No, the contract is too strict. If I break the contract, I'll be in trouble. And I don't have the ability, unlike you who have the confidence to go it alone."

Without Penguin's resources, how could she have appeared in so many variety shows and TV series?

Su Zhe didn't expect Liu Heluo to see things so clearly. This may be her biggest advantage besides her appearance - frankness and authenticity.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I terminated the contract based on my ability." Su Zhe silently thanked Mi Shuqin in his heart and said proudly, "And I made the drama based on my ability."

Liu Heluo snorted:

"Ah! I'm going to die from soreness! You have to treat me to dinner during the promotion period! I'm going to kill you hard!"

Su Zhe shrugged:

"Eat whatever you want."

million, you can’t even finish it even if you eat gold.

After the agreement was made, Liu Heluo asked with a smile:

"Brother Su Zhe, can we cooperate well?"

"It's good. What's wrong?" Su Zhe asked curiously.

Liu Heluo worked hard to find work for himself:

"How about you cast me in your next drama? By the way, I heard you're going to make a movie. What's it called?"

Su Zhe said casually:

""Secret"."

Liu Heluo:......

"Brother, my heart is broken."

Su Zhe:? ? ?
