What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 221 A little bit not enough

In the past, the promotion was all about celebrity skewers, but this time it has to be done, otherwise the audience thinks that it is not enough attention.

This can be regarded as riding a tiger, and you have to repeat the same old tricks, but there seems to be nothing better if you want to do new tricks.

What can be done is that the selection of stars is slightly different from the past, adding many new faces such as Liu Yifei, Tang Yanyan, Gao Yuanyuan, Yang Mimi, and most of them will participate in "Three-Body Problem".

Liu Yifei played the role of Zhuang Yan, Gao Yuanyuan was Cheng Xin, and the director made a new play, so it was a favor to help out.

Yang Shu once planned to invite Tang Yanyan to play Cheng Xin. Like Gao Yuanyuan, she is also in her thirties, and she is a little younger, which basically matches Cheng Xin's age and image.

However, she looks sweeter than Gao Yuanyuan, and the corners of her mouth often have a smile that is not a smile, so it is not so suitable to play the role of the end of the world.

Cheng Xin is the second sword-bearer of mankind, who controls the life and death of the people on Earth. Apart from being extremely knowledgeable, at least she looks resolute, otherwise she won't be trusted by most people.

However, Tang Yanyan finally agreed to play Dongfang Yanxu, the captain of the battleship Natural Selection of the Asian Fleet, and she and Zhang Beihai have the same father and daughter.

There are not many roles for this role. Tang Yanyan's new drama is in trouble because of Wu Xiubo's scandal. She has invested a lot of money in this drama, and the loss may be huge.

Last month, she suddenly announced her marriage, showing an attitude of fading away from acting and returning to the family, and said to Yang Shu: "Director Yang's new play must be hurry up, if one day I get pregnant, I may not be able to participate in the show."

This is the start of the all-out man-making mode, and "Three-Body Problem" has to race horses with her husband.

Although the promotion was hard-working, Yang Shu reminded Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu during breakfast on the day of the broadcast on December 12: "Let's not have too high expectations for "The Last Days of Devils". I'm afraid it's not as good as "The Beginning", if you can reach half of the score, you will be considered a success."

According to him, "The Last Day of the Devil" would be considered a success if its broadcast revenue exceeds 10 billion, which has already greatly broken the highest record for an anti-Japanese-themed web drama.

It is good to be reminded that Fantastic Film and Television has been going uphill since its establishment, and once it encounters a downturn, it may be difficult to accept.

With this reminder, you can easily shrug your shoulders when the time comes, everything is expected, and there is nothing embarrassing about slipping and falling.

What he said is the truth. In recent years, the anti-Japanese dramas with the best reputation and ratings, such as "Bright Sword", "Battle in Changsha", "My Commander, My Team" and so on, are all TV dramas aimed at TV audiences. Few young people watch it, but the main audience is middle-aged and elderly people.

Although there are also anti-Japanese dramas in online dramas, they are relatively few, and the results are not very good. There have been no blockbusters in these years.

Liu Man could understand what he meant, but disagreed: "I know that anti-Japanese dramas are mainly TV dramas, and the main audience is middle-aged and elderly people, and the acceptance of online dramas is relatively low.

However, our drama is not an anti-Japanese drama in the traditional sense. There are almost no battle scenes, but stories before and after the surrender of the Japanese army. There are not many works in this area in China, or even none. "

Jiang Shiyu is as confident as Liu Man: "Moreover, the story of our drama is related to "Warrior", and the starring role is similar. The main audience of the movie is young people, which overlaps a lot with the online drama."

What she said also makes sense. Those who are willing to spend money to watch dramas are often the same group of people, whether it is movies or online dramas.

But Yang Shu didn't just consider these specific factors, this time his thoughts were more consistent with Luo Xue's.

The most widely used application of psychology, besides psychological counseling, is market research. Luo Xue's judgment is still based on the combination of the big environment and big market factors.

The environment has changed a lot in the past two years. Japan's position in the grievances and grievances of the world has plummeted, and it has been relegated to a secondary and secondary position.

Most of Doubanjiang's top ten anti-Japanese dramas started filming before 2010, "Bright Sword" was in 2005, and "My Leader, My Team" was in 2009.

In 2010, the national power of China and Japan changed positions, and the mainland surpassed Japan to become the second largest economy, ending nearly 100 years of backwardness.

By 2018, it has been nearly three times the size of the other party. This speed of development is amazing. At the same time, people's evaluation of Japan is also changing at an alarming speed.

I have to admit that the mainland paid too much attention to Japan before, and the longevity of anti-Japanese dramas is a manifestation of this attention. This is not only the result of propaganda and guidance, but is actually a deep psychological problem, which is very worthy of study. In 2010, It's a watershed moment, and things are changing.

At the beginning, Luo Xue judged that the plot of Resisting America and Aiding Korea in Yang Shu's "Warrior" was out of date. It was because he did not anticipate the huge changes in the United States, and the relationship between China and Japan has not been good for decades, and there is no black swan phenomenon. Therefore, the anti-Japanese drama Malaise may be a long-term trend.

"Now everyone's eyes are on the other side of the ocean, and this neighbor with a strip of water is not enough to see."

Since there are not enough people to watch, there will naturally be fewer people who watch it.

Yang Shu had expected this. At that time, he was not very enthusiastic about the filming of "The Last Days of Devils", mainly because Liu Man liked it.

Since the beauty likes it, let's shoot it. Money is not just to buy happiness, not to mention that he took it down while sorting out the information, so he can do whatever he wants.

"The Beginning" is directed by Liu Man, starring Yang Shu and Jiang Shiyu, and "The Last Days of Devils" is similar. Although there are many Japanese actors in the scenes, Yang Shu and Jiang Shiyu did not lead all the plots, but from the context they are still the same Leading actor throughout the plot.

This is a major pillar of Jiang Shiyu's confidence, but she doesn't analyze so much, anyway, she is confident: "We can bet that the score of "The Last Days of Devils" will not be worse than that of "The Beginning", do you dare to bet? "

Starting from "Wonderful Events in the World", whenever a new work is broadcast, she likes to bet on the results, winning or losing basically doesn't matter.

Even when she bought a house for the elderly together, she also proposed to gamble.

There is nothing you dare not bet on, but all women's bets are romantic and ambiguous, and foolish men don't bet.

Yang Shu agreed immediately: "You can gamble how you want, and be serious if you want to gamble, don't take it easy if you lose."

"Two days ago I saw Gao Yuanyuan come to sign the contract for "Three-Body Problem". Let's imitate the bet in "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji". Whoever loses has to agree to three conditions, as long as it does not violate the morals of the world."

This Yang Shu really didn't dare to gamble rashly: "Did you make a mistake? It was Zhao Min who bet with Zhang Wuji, and Gao Yuanyuan played Zhou Zhiruo."

"Have you read this novel? Later Zhou Zhiruo also made three promises with Zhang Wuji."

Of course Yang Shu had seen it, but he just wanted to get away with it.

"Can you bet something realistic?"

"That's quite practical, but three may be too complicated, so let's bet on one first."

Yang Shu thought for a while: "No, if you want to bet, you can bet three."

Since you have to gamble, play to your heart's content.

Jiang Shiyu was very involved: "Okay, then I bet that "The Last Days of Devils" will be at least equal to "The Beginning". If you lose, I will promise you three conditions."

Liu Man rolled his eyes, and immediately agreed: "I also bet, the bet is the same as Shishi."

Yang Shu thought about it, why bother, betting that his works would make less money?
It seems that I talk too much today, and it is superficial.

"Okay, I made a bet, and I told you that I am willing to admit defeat, and anyone who wants to play tricks will have to be at my disposal for 50 years."
