This director is very reliable

Chapter 72
In the company, in the office, Shen Changlin was looking through the script of "Left Ear" written by Su Lun.

In fact, the plot of "The Left Ear" is very simple: Li Er falls in love with the beautiful young Xu Yi, Xu Yi falls in love with the bad girl Li Bala, Li Bala falls in love with the hardcore avenger Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang takes advantage of the rich girl while taking care of her Li Bala Destroy Xu Yi...

Because Zhang Yang and Xu Yi have half-brothers, their mother fell in love with Xu Yi's father, but was rejected by the wicked mother-in-law and returned the goods, so they found Zhang Yang's father as a backup.

Because Zhang Yang's father was Xu Yi's father's backup, Zhang Yang planned to let Xu Yi be his backup.

But during the product iteration process of the two generations of spare tires, Zhang Yang fell in love with Li Bala, and Xu Yi suddenly accepted Li Bala's long sexual harassment. Even the good girl Li Er became good friends with Li Bala.

Since ancient times, the protagonist has been so miserable. Because of a misunderstanding, Li Bala was hit and killed by a car when he was heartbroken.

Zhang Yang, Xu Yi, and Li Er were also admitted to college, living their own lives with shadows.

After going to college, Li Er, who had the halo of the Virgin Mary, rescued Xu Yi who was on the verge of slipping, and left in dismay because he ran into him having an affair.

While Zhang Yang is deeply in the pain of indirectly killing Li Bala, he has to deal with the rich girl who sometimes throws money, sometimes jumps off a building, and sometimes throws money before jumping off a building.When he learned that Li Bara loved him deeply and had forgiven him, he resolutely let go of his psychological burden and fell in love with Li Er.

end of story...

Well, choppy youth and love.

Right love is love, wrong love is youth!

To some extent, this is exactly the law of youth films in domestic films.

The selling point of youth films has always been based on the nostalgic crowd's dissatisfaction with the mediocrity of the past.

Therefore, the more perverse and bizarre, the more touching people's hearts.

Even if it is hypocritical enough to moan without illness, it can still make the audience laugh.

Shen Changlin suppressed his nausea, looked at it roughly, and nodded: "Let's shoot like this!"

"...you agree?"

Shen Changlin replied honestly: "Anyway, if I do it, it will be like this at most..."

Su Lun smiled: "Is it a little embarrassing to see my immature self?"

"What do you say?"

Youth Pain Literature…

I want to smoke myself, why did I remember to copy "Left Ear"?

Don't you feel ashamed?

Black history!

The two chatted about the shooting location.

At first Li Xiaoping suggested filming in Luzhou, because she knew that Shen Changlin was from Luzhou, and the story of "Left Ear" probably happened in Luzhou...

Thinking too much, this is what he copied!

And "Left Ear" is quite templated, pain literature, the girls are pure virgins, and the boys are pure handsome guys who can always be whitewashed.

These people seem to have nothing else in their lives, only caring about each other's feelings.

By the way, they have lived for less than 20 years, and they keep talking about forever. As long as they stand on the rooftop, they will pretend to be wise men in an instant.

Also add a few "forced" sentences, such as: 'It takes courage to like someone, but you have to be brave if you say you like it;', 'We exchanged the most ruthless secret in our youth, and then became the most intimate friend…'

The production team went to Luzhou for a tour and came to the conclusion: it is not suitable!
Su Lun prefers Dongshan Island in Fujian, a small fishing village, low-key and simple...

"There are no high-rise buildings, but every house is brightly lit and very warm, and it feels like the 90s of the last century!"

"Then go!"

"Will it affect the shooting cost?"

"This is not something you should consider!"

After a pause, Shen Changlin added: "There are a lot of advertisements in this drama, you just recreate Tianyi Middle School, we all have money!"

Uh, Shen Changlin's words are a bit embarrassing, but it's the truth.

It is completely different from the cold reception of "33 Days of Broken Relationship". For the "Left Ear" project, a bunch of brands and merchants want to implant it, especially the plot content was shown to Chen Ou from Jumei, who directly spent 3000 million. I want to change the name of Zhang Yang's e-commerce business to Jumei Youpin!

Those who engage in e-commerce are really willing to spend money.

Of course, Liu Yifei + Yang Xiaomi + Liu Shishi, plus Shen Changlin's "Left Ear", the brand side has its own judgment criteria: this is the top implant template...

Then, the production team rejected Chen Ou's implantation, and still followed the previous idea, Zhang Yang's business was a Taobao clothing store.

It’s not that Taobao gave a lot, they “only” gave 1500 million implantation fees, but people said that when “Left Ear” is released, Taobao will promote it on the homepage...

With hundreds of millions of users, even if the conversion rate is only in the single digits, that is still millions of viewers!
Jumei Youpin still cannot be compared with Taobao...

In addition, mobile phones, sports brands, snacks, digital products, cars, beer...

As many as ten items!
The income from placing advertisements alone is close to 6000 million, which is enough to cover the cost + publicity, and there is still a surplus...

……

Most of the production costs of youth films are concentrated on the cost of actors, and "The Left Ear" is no exception. In order to gather three actors, the crew gave a price that was 30% higher than the market price!
Even so, the pay for all the actors, including the cast and crew, was less than 1800 million.

After all, it's really cheap - the salary of "Painted Skin 2" announced this year, Mr. Zhou is 420 million, which is already considered the first echelon of Chinese actresses!
How much is the salary for playing in the movie "Three Beauty of Sword and Sword"?

Even with production costs and publicity, the total cost is only 4000 million!
Of course, if you include the copyright fee of "Left Ear" of 500 million, Shen Changlin's production fee of 500 million, and Xue Xiaolu's production fee of 100 million, the cost can reach 5100 million!
It is true that the cost of doing it according to this...

Well, the formal preparations for the project have not yet started, Shen Changlin has already collected 1000 million in advance!
It doesn't seem reasonable...

But if you take a closer look, the project "Left Ear" itself belongs to Shen Changlin, who proposed the development, and who advocated the role of the Three Beauties of Sword and Sword...

He is the heart of the project!

And "33 Days of Broken Relationship", he only collected 5% of the box office profit...

At present, "33 Days of Broken Relationship" has been released for 25 days, and the box office is 2.87 million. There is no suspense if it exceeds 5 million. That is to say, Shen Changlin can personally get 500% of the box office share, which is close to [-] million...

This number is definitely not much.

"Left Ear" gave him so much at once, in a sense, it was a kind of compensation!
Therefore, during this period of time, Shen Changlin was quite a nouveau riche, and he didn't care about the petty profits of millions.

Successively rejected several project proposals within the company.

It’s not that there is no prospect, but these projects are hard to get stars——“The Lonely Empty Court Spring Desire Evening” and “Unique World” have both clear elements and palace elements...

It's filming now, and when the drama is sold, the policy will almost come!

Moreover, he is not only thinking about how much money he can make when making a drama, but also the preservation rate, which is also called the replay value.

I don't want to do the kind of huge momentum during the release period. Various hot searches, Zhihu, and Douban discussions seem to be very popular. However, the 3-month warranty period expired, and the popularity disappeared instantly.

What's the point?

How many people are still discussing "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", "You Fei", "Swinging", and "A Lonely Beauty Doesn't Admire Itself"?

But there are more and more discussions about "Bright Sword" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy"...

It's not that the shot must be a classic, but at least it must be a boutique.
