What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 23 Enthusiasm is instantly ignited

400 million in the film and television industry is a small amount, which is only enough to make a low-cost movie for amateurs, or pay a second-tier star for a TV series.

But for the current Yang Shu, it is a huge sum of money. If "Lovers at the Table" really makes so much money, it will be the initial success of his personal and Liu Man's career.

If there is no accident in this drama, he can divide it into 40 yuan.

This is far from the 80 expected at the beginning, but it was an expectation and a dream at the beginning. The reality should be more rational. It would be good to get 40 for the debut, which is already similar to that of a gold medal screenwriter.

Liu Tao's salary in "Legend of Miyue" happened to be 40 per episode. Since he only appeared in 81 episodes of the 800-episode TV series, he could finally get [-] million.

When Sun Li filmed "The Legend of Zhen Huan", it was 30 yuan per episode. After the fire, it has increased a lot. Now it is 85 yuan per episode, so the whole number of "Legend of Miyue" is 7000 million yuan.

However, Liu Tao made rapid progress later on. When filming "Ode to Joy", one film could also earn 7000 million yuan.

In comparison, Yang Shu’s share of 40 is insignificant, but the income has to be compared with peers, and it cannot be forced to line up with industry stars. Besides, the low starting point also means that there is a lot of room for improvement. If one day Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu can be cultivated into a The 8000 million superstar of Drama Seven, as the godfather himself...

Yang Shu felt that his imagination was too far ahead, and now he should quickly plan what to do next.

Such a good start, of course, has marketing value. If Ruhe can immediately place advertisements on the homepages of each platform, and at the same time invite people to write soft articles to promote, the number of hits on "Lovers at the Table" should be even higher.

For the B lottery signed by Yang Shu, in this case, he has the right to remind Ruhe to make further investment, after all, the interests are related.

On the contrary, as the director, Liu Man has already finished filming and received the director's fee, which is equivalent to completing the employment relationship, so there is no reason to urge the promotion.

However, the three of them always emphasized to Ruhe that it was a creative team, and anyone who came forward had a reason. It was more appropriate for Liu Man to continue doing this, and she had been doing it all along.

The restaurant is already open, and Yang Shu left a message in the group: "See you at the entrance of the restaurant at 45:[-]!"

While brushing his teeth, he inevitably thought about a question: "So will there be any accidents in this drama? What if the [-] hits in six hours are just a flash in the pan? Or is it a special case because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday?"

He thinks it is unlikely, just like studying stocks, there are many related studies on box office fluctuations, which have a fairly high regularity.

Of course, there are cases of highs and lows, but usually the publicity in the early stage is too high, the word of mouth collapses after the release, or the main creators have a scandal during the release, otherwise it is unlikely to collapse for no reason.

"Lovers at the Table" has no excessive publicity to raise appetite in the early stage. The current evaluation is mostly positive, and the possibility of a sudden sudden collapse of word-of-mouth is not high.

As for the main creative staff, only Guo Minkai is famous, but he is no longer a popular fried chicken. The others are all unknown, and they are not qualified to collapse the house, so there is basically no need to consider this aspect.

In addition, although the festival data will be enlarged, it will not subvert the law.

Regardless of the fact that it is the second half of the night, there is actually a complete word-of-mouth communication chain.

The number of hits in the early stage of a work quickly leads, usually benefiting from the advertising words and the attractive image of the male and female protagonists, which has gained initial attention.

As the number of clicks increases and ranks among the best, the effect of self-recommendation will come out, and more attention will be gained, and the strong will become stronger.

This is how "The Lover at the Table" should stand out, which shows that both Guo Minkai and Liu Man used it correctly.

It is very important to use the right actors. This is both superficial and metaphysical. There are countless young and beautiful actors in China, but major companies like to use Liu Tao, Sun Li, Zhao Liying, Yang Mu, Liu Shishi and other children's mothers to dominate the screen.

It's hard to explain this clearly, and in fact no one can explain it. As the old saying goes, these people may have grown sympathetic, and some people like to watch acting.

The audience's aesthetic tendencies, so "Little Gongli" and "Little Zhang Ziyi" were introduced by the industry to successfully copy and cater to the tendency. Now it seems that "Little Liu Tao" is also popular.

And some people are useless no matter how beautiful they are, and no matter how much money they spend, they can only be popular or not. They have no box office or ratings appeal.

Therefore, grassroots works such as "The Lover at the Table" are not prone to accidents, but there is no need to worry too much.

In the elevator going down to the restaurant on the second floor, Yang Shu had a flash of inspiration and thought of another question: "If the final income is only a few hundred thousand, why do we have to make a series next?"

Maybe it was just a burst of heat that broke through the cerebral thrombus, and he felt that his brain was much more flexible now.

"The Lover at the Table" comes from "Wonderful Stories of the World". After that, Yang Shu wrote ten more scripts. From the beginning, he made up his mind to make a similar short play series, and even named it "Wonderful Events in the World".

In order to be able to make a series of word-of-mouth in the future, he considered shooting only three episodes in the first season, and trying to make up money if he didn't have enough money.

I also planned to contract out the series projects planned by Ruhe, and continue to work part-time to accumulate more funds before developing independently.

In fact, these are probably obsessions.

It is easy for people to look far away, just like people who open their mouths and shut up and like to discuss the international situation are often farts.

Previously, the success of "Lovers at the Table" was just a longing. Now that there are realistic data, although [-] hits is still in its infancy, the solid foundation quickly brought Yang Shu's attention back, and he began to truly face the gradually clear reality. .

"It's better not to think about creating a super IP, and don't care whether 2015 is the year of standardization of online dramas, these things have not yet come."

If "Lovers at the Table" is successful, the most sensible and realistic development path in the future is probably to continue to copy according to its own conditions, just like launching "Xiao Gongli" and "Xiao Zhang Ziyi" are copies, and then make persistent efforts to copy a similar " The micro-movie "Small Table Lovers" continues to be successful.

Under the condition of hundreds of thousands of funds, this idea is the most practical. If you can earn several million from your own investment, then you will have a foundation for doing anything in the future, and it will not be too late to create a super IP.

If a 10-minute drama is too short, then combine two stories, if it is still not enough, then three stories, anyway, do things according to financial resources, and make as many movies as you have, this is the right way to start an independent business.

There are two or three stories in a movie, and there are many such works, and even each story is directed by a different director. The advantage of the collection is that the resources are concentrated to facilitate publicity and reduce the chance of failure.

As the elevator opened with a "ding" sound, Yang Shu took a deep breath and felt that his mind had been completely opened up.

Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu arrived one step earlier. Everyone restrained their excitement, but they still couldn't hold back when they met at the elevator entrance. The two rushed over in three steps at a time.

Yang Shu's enthusiasm was instantly ignited, and he wanted to have a brazen hug, but in the end it didn't happen, and the three of them just clapped their hands together to congratulate.

"You don't seem to have slept well," Liu Man handed him a bag of soy milk and a bag of meat buns: "I brought you some breakfast."

Yang Shu is not very good at staying up late, and he starts to lose weight when he can't sleep well, which belongs to the physique that actors are envious of and hate.

The two girls had to cooperate with Liu Tao's makeup work, so they only slept for more than two hours, and woke up at 04:30. They looked a little dark circles, like smoky makeup, and like they had done too much bad things, but they were actually quite sexy.

Jiang Shiyu was so excited that his body kept shaking: "I'm so happy. Although I always believed that we would succeed, the numbers this morning still surprised me."

She is wearing a white silk shirt and a pair of light blue pencil jeans today. Her thighs are straight and slender, and she looks fresh and capable.

Good girlfriends live together, the aesthetics will converge, and the dress will also be in step.

Liu Man likes loose-fitting clothing, but the color scheme is the same, a white T-shirt with a collar and half-sleeves, with an abstract pattern of unknown meaning printed on the back, and the same light blue jeans, but retro harem styles with a whiter color: "Why? So, what do we do next?"

The three of them avoided the people coming and going from various crews, and walked into the corridor next to them.

The two girls had eaten, and Yang Shu said while eating: "Look for Nie Wen and Director Ke. They may not pay attention to the data in time when they are at home during the holidays. Ask if this situation should be promoted in time."

Liu Man immediately agreed: "Yes, I'll find them at eight o'clock, try not to disturb their rest."

"Of course this kind of situation should be promoted in time," Jiang Shiyu took advantage of this time to swipe the app again, his cheeks gradually flushed: "It's already more than [-]!"
