What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 16 The Ideal State

Liu Man was a little surprised. Jiang Shiyu's family environment is superior, and there were many beautiful girls in school. Both of them were admired by the stars because of their outstanding performance.
"You want to play tricks?"

Jiang Shiyu shrugged: "Why not, you can go and play tricks as babysitters, am I Gege from the Forbidden City?"

Everyone has vanity, and Liu Man is no exception. He specially reminded: "I can be said to be helping my sister by being an assistant. If you play tricks and be seen by your classmates, you will lose face."

There is a chain of discrimination in every industry, and comparisons among classmates are unavoidable.

Jiang Shiyu obviously didn't consider it mature enough, so after thinking for a while, he said: "Or ask your sister if she needs an assistant, and I'll go with you to serve her. Anyway, I don't want to stay at home alone."

It's understandable that I can't stay at home. My parents are away from home, and I'm guarding a large empty house like a ghost. It's hard to work and rest without a job. It's really unbearable after a long time.

Assistants are indispensable around celebrities. Assistants sound like secretaries, and are even easily confused with agents. In fact, assistants are babysitters for celebrities.

There are also different types of assistants. Some are purely life assistants. They help artists with laundry, bedding, and even close-fitting clothing.

The most famous one who uses assistants to the extreme is Yang Liping, a dancer. Because she needs to keep nails more than an inch long on all ten fingers because of dancing, she costs tens of thousands of dollars a month for maintenance, but it also makes her unable to take care of herself.

Another dancer, Jin Xing, who didn't get along with her very well, once publicly asked on the show: "You have such long nails, how do you usually take a shower and go to the toilet?"

There is really no need to worry about this, Yang Liping specially hired an assistant who is only responsible for taking a shower and going to the toilet.

Some assistants are of a higher rank, assisting in handling more affairs, and even intervening in celebrity brokerage work, but such assistants are usually held by relatives of celebrities, such as Li Lianjie let his brother Li Liansheng be an assistant, with an annual salary of one million.

Liu Man has the potential to develop in this area, but she is too young and lacks contacts, and she has no ambitions to do so.

The income of general assistants is not high, and the salary is basically around [-] to [-] yuan. However, working with celebrities includes food and lodging, and they are basically in good hotels. The daily expenses are much less, and the quality of life is no worse than that of white-collar workers with a monthly income of [-] yuan in the capital. .

In addition to assistants, first-line stars usually have other service personnel. For example, Liu Tao has his own makeup artist, with a monthly salary of [-] to [-] yuan. In contrast, assistants are low-skilled and low-paying jobs.

But Liu Man got more. After all, she was a sister. Liu Tao privately gave her [-] a month. That's why she had the money to buy a laptop and pay for the two months' living expenses without getting the director's fee.

Jiang Shiyu said that he didn't care about the amount of income, anyway, he didn't intend to work for the rest of his life, just for three months.

Many people have illusions about the assistant job, thinking that it is easy to transfer to the film and television entertainment industry after contacting a celebrity. In fact, this possibility is extremely low. Some assistants have even served multiple celebrities, trying to find opportunities to enter the industry again and again, so this is also a flow It is a highly sensitive job that requires relatively high quality, resulting in a frequent shortage of people in the industry.

Liu Man agreed straight away: "If you really can't stay at home and want to play with me, then come with me. My sister's two babies will always be in need of someone to take care of them. The most assured thing is that my family can help."

"That's great," Jiang Shiyu happily fed the rolled duck meat to Liu Man: "I don't hate children, I can do anything."

Talking about Yang Shu, I couldn't help sighing: "Our team is also amazing. I just finished my own work, and then I will collectively join other crews to do odd jobs."

During this period of time, the three must be called a team. In fact, Yang Shu also understands in his heart that the enthusiasm of people around the age of 20 comes and goes quickly. Today, they are talking about how to develop together in the future. Maybe one day, something will not be happy. , parted ways immediately.

It's like Jiang Shiyu who got tired of staying at home and went to work as an assistant on the set, and ran back one day when things didn't go her way.

It is too much to say that everyone is acting on the occasion, young people are like this, the future has infinite possibilities, pure and enthusiastic.

Liu Man is quite open-minded: "When people have ebb and flow, go to work together and wait for the results of "Lovers at the Table" to be broadcast together. At the same time, we can also prepare for our "Wonderful Events in the World" series."

In fact, Yang Shu is very rational. Even if "Lovers at the Table" becomes popular after it is broadcast, it is just a micro-movie, and it is impossible to bring much sensational effect, let alone expect to get a huge sum of money.

Although Yang Shu gambled on the B lottery, he was just betting more with [-] or [-] yuan. Even if the clicks were really tens of millions, it was impossible to get rich overnight.

Referring to last year's Baike's "Never Expected", he optimistically estimated the possible benefits of "Table Lovers".

"Unexpectedly" is a spoof mini-comedy with only four or five minutes per episode. The first season has a total of fifteen episodes. During the three-month broadcast period, the highest number of hits was more than 5 million, and the worst was 2000 million. The average hits exceeded 600 million.

Follow-up with the broadcast of the second and third seasons, the number of hits will definitely continue to rise, but this data is already enviable enough, and it is the current benchmark for online dramas.

"Fun Table Lovers" is a micro -movie, which is several times larger than the episode "I Unexpectedly", and the production is also better. If you can reach the average click volume of "Unexpectedly", there will be 800 million yuan Click income, poplar can be divided into 80.

However, this is a very optimistic estimate. In fact, it is very difficult for heartwarming romantic dramas to compete with funny jokes for hits. Nie Wen estimates that the best case scenario is 50 to [-] effective hits. The company will not lose money or even have a slight profit. This is the reason The normality of such works.

In the best case, is Yang Shu's 80 yuan enough to start filming the first season of "World's Wonderful Events"?

During this period of time, the three of them had already made up their minds when they were free. If there were three episodes and three stories in one season, it would be enough. No amount of it would be enough.

Many viewers watch the drama, and the episodes have a certain capacity. The fifteen episodes of the first season of "Unexpectedly" added up to almost eight and 10 minutes, which is slightly shorter than a standard movie.

"Wonderful World Events" has a story of more than 20 minutes, three episodes and a season of six or seven 10 minutes are not enough, four episodes are just right.

In fact, all three of them knew in their hearts that the average 800 million hits of "Unexpectedly" is the result of the popularity of the [-] episodes. [-] million at the box office.

The popularity of the work is affirmed, and it is good to gain a firm foothold in the industry. It will be relatively easy to attract investment and financing in the future, and there will be opportunities to continue creating. This is the more realistic goal of "Lovers at the Table".

They also have more specific plans. If there is an opportunity to create the first season of "Wonderful Events in the World", no matter how much money Yang Shu can get, everyone will try their best to find a way to raise funds. When they have enough funds, they will set up their own company and start filming, and will never give it to others. work to earn a living.

Liu Man said that she could borrow some from her sister, Jiang Shiyu said that she could borrow from her parents, but Yang Shu had nowhere to borrow it and could only say: "Let's look forward to this first, it won't be too late to plan after the September broadcast and see the results. "

It is good for young people to be enthusiastic and motivated, but they cannot encourage each other to become some kind of irrational impulse. It is not a good idea for everyone to be in debt before their career is done.

Moreover, Yang Shu has always believed that such things as partnership investment are unreliable. The reason why everyone has a harmonious relationship now is largely due to the stage of joint struggle, and there is no problem of profit distribution, and they are in a certain ideal state.
