What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 251 The Grinding Cannot Be Unloaded
The "I'm an Art Candidate" audition in various places is coming to an end. Sister Tao, Liu Man, and Jiang Shiyu have collected materials from all over the country and started working on the copywriting of the show.

In order to increase entertainment, variety shows will arrange some activities, which require planning and scripts. Yang Shu is not good at this aspect, so he hired experts in the industry to make arrangements.

The popularization of TV in mainland China is 20 years later than that of the United States, South Korea, Japan and Europe, so many program formats are learned from outsiders. Variety shows mainly learn from Japan and South Korea, especially South Korea.

When it was the most extreme in the past few years, almost all well-known programs were copied by buying other people's copyrights, including Brother Chao's "Run, Brother".

This is a market behavior, buy more of what sells well, but after all, Bangziguo is too small, and the show was sold out within two years.

This is the case in the post-development areas. Buy first, then learn, and then make it yourself. It is not difficult to figure out the way of these things. Not only variety shows, but idol dramas are also played in this way.

As for the so-called creativity that has been criticized all the time, in the early days it was not important in the eyes of businessmen. Programs are just commodities. It is not difficult to come up with novel ideas. The difficult thing is that you are not sure whether you can make money.

South Korean programs have been produced for 30 to [-] years, and have experienced many failures. Of course, if you have ready-made successful experience, you must first buy and learn first, and you have to start from scratch, unless money burns your brain out.

This can be regarded as path dependence, but the mainland has a market advantage and dares to invest more funds. Once the trick is mastered, the stick supplier's stuff is not enough, and naturally they will be eliminated by the market.

In fact, this is similar to the fate of Samsung's mobile phones in the mainland market. It didn't take long for it to go from thriving to disappearing.

The X-restriction order circulated in the public opinion circle is actually a bit superfluous. It is always just rumors in the world that cannot be substantiated. It is a bit self-serving to insist on saying that market choices are restricted.

The behind-the-scenes team hired by "I Am an Art Candidate" has also gone through this path. At the beginning, they bought South Korean programs and asked Korean teams to do them, then participated in the cooperation, and finally produced independently. Now the level is quite good.

By mid-May, the preparations for "I Am an Art Candidate" have been basically completed, and the program production is planned to start in early June, when the first season of "Three-Body Problem" will also be finished.

At 5:11 on May 7, the last episode of the first season of "Three-Body Problem" aired, with a total of more than 38 billion hits at [-]:[-] p.m. that day.

Because they were busy working separately, everyone seldom got together for dinner during this time. Today, Liu Man specially cooked a few dishes, and each poured a glass of red wine to celebrate the broadcast of the last episode.

"The playback period is 45 days, and it's only halfway through. According to the model's estimation, the number of clicks can probably increase by about 15 billion, and it should reach 53 billion in the end."

Although Jiang Shiyu is busy with variety shows, and there are people in the company who are in charge of statistics, he still habitually calculates by himself every day, and then reports it to Yang Shu.

"As long as the number of clicks reaches 45 billion, our average number of clicks per episode will exceed 3 million, and we will finally enter the first echelon of "Legend of Miyue", "A Thousand Bone Flowers" and "Ode to Joy" for several years, and we are currently ranked fourth , it is possible to hit the first place."

Although the results of "The Beginning" and "The Devil's End Is Coming" were both good and entered the top three of the year, but the average number of hits per episode is less than 2 million, which is a long way from the first echelon.

Yang Shu is still relatively modest: "This is just the average number of views per episode. After all, we have a small number of episodes, and the total number of views is not comparable to others' more than 200 billion."

"That's because these dramas have dozens of episodes." Liu Man came over and sat down with the last dish: "So the film and television company has to plan to do big projects in the future, and we can't keep doing online dramas, and eventually we have to enter TV dramas." The market is good, but more than a dozen episodes of dramas and TV stations don’t like it.”

However, although the data seem to have a large gap, the profit is not directly proportional. In fact, "Three-Body" is also very profitable.

The first season of "The Three-Body Problem" only had more than 50 billion hits, while "The Legend of Miyue" had 239 billion hits, and "A Thousand Bone Flowers" and "Ode to Joy" both had around 200 billion hits.

Also as an S-level big production, the price is 14 yuan, so the 15-episode "Three-Body Problem" is 0.93 yuan per click, while the 81-episode "Legend of Miyue" is 0.17 yuan, and the 58-episode "Flower Thousand Bone" is 0.24 yuan , 42 episodes of "Ode to Joy" is 0.33 yuan.

In this way, the corresponding click revenues are 47 billion, 41 billion, 50 billion, and 59 billion. "Three-Body" is several hundred million more than "Miyue Biography".

However, apart from "The Three-Body Problem", other works are still broadcast on TV stations, and there is another income. "The Legend of Miyue" must exceed the first season of "Three-Body Problem".

The status of an actor depends on the profits she creates. If only TV station income is counted, Niangniang is the highest. However, the rapid development of online business later made her stats not as good as before.

Online on-demand broadcasting has indeed developed too fast, and the data has begun to hang upside down. If you look at the current data, you will come to the conclusion that sister Tao is more valuable than empress, but this is not the case in reality.

Liu Man came to a conclusion. In the case of equally excellent works, after combining TV and online, big works will make more money in the future.

So after she took over the wonderful film and television company, she always suggested to start shooting big works and release them online and offline simultaneously.

The filming of the next two seasons of "Three-Body Problem" is more than halfway done, and it will be finished by this time next year as planned. It is indeed time to consider the follow-up works.

"I checked the data of TV dramas over the years, and the top ten most popular and most profitable ones are one by the empress, two by my sister, two by Tang Yan, two by Zhao Liying, and one by Sister Bingbing's "Wu Meiniang" "Legend", as well as Shishi's "The Beginning" and "The Devil's End", the appeal of the broadcast all comes from female stars."

Yang Shu reminded: "My Lady's "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was a few years earlier, and there was no webcast data at that time, otherwise it must be counted as one."

Yang Mi's "Gong Suo Xin Yu" and Liu Shishi's "Bu Bu Jing Xin" also performed well, but it was too early and there was no webcast data.

"What I mean is that these actors, except for us Shishi, are all over 35 years old. Even the younger Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and Liu Yifei are all over [-]."

Mentioning Tianxian Yangshu felt a bit guilty: "I've been talking for a long time, what exactly do you want to say?"

"I mean it's a bit of an underage right now, and there's not a whole new generation of actresses who are capable of challenging these guys with major titles."

Yang Shu understood: "And most of these people have a good cooperative relationship with us, so we have to use them as soon as possible, otherwise they will be useless after a few years."

Jiang Shiyu hummed and laughed out loud: "How dare you say it, if sister Tao hears this, she will definitely call you a shithead."

Liu Man supported Yang Shu's statement: "From the point of view of investors and directors, this is the case. After a female star is over 35, her appearance will collapse, which is very cruel.

These days I have had a lot of contact with Zhou Xun. She is 45 and still doing well, but she was ridiculed by the crowd when she was filming "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" the year before last. People who liked her back then showed no mercy. "

Emperor Chen Jianbin's new film has started, and Zhou Xun will become the counselor of "I am an art candidate" with him. The preparation team has been in touch during this time.

Liu Man raised his red wine glass: "Today we would like to congratulate Shushu on the great success of "Three-Body Problem", and the wealth is overwhelming."

After the three clinked glasses, she went on to say: "But we can't let go of the grind, we have to keep playing. Everyone is looking forward to new works."

Yang Shu took a sip of his wine and asked with a smile, "Why do you compare me to a donkey? How do you think I look like a donkey?"

Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu looked at each other, pretending not to understand, and drank their wine as if nothing had happened.

"Anyway, you have to think about what to shoot for the next long drama, don't be silly!"

Yang Shu is currently in the film and television industry, he is indeed a super existence like a donkey, and his achievements are as good as fake.

The investment in "Three-Body Problem" is very large, totaling nearly 10 billion, Fantastic Film and Television Group accounted for 70%, China Film, Junqi Feiyang and Chengzi Yinghua each invested 1 million, that is, each accounted for 10%, so after the first season, they will each It can share a gross profit of about 4.7 million.

Yang Shu has always believed that things in the world can only last for a long time if there is a win-win situation. Everyone is happy, so he naturally began to look forward to the follow-up. Liu Man was right, and he would not be allowed to let go of this grind.

Everyone expects it, and it is best to live up to expectations. Yang Shu has this self-consciousness, so he began to think about this issue while filming "Three-Body Problem" during this period.

"The Three-Body Problem" was too hard, and it was difficult for movies and TV dramas to pass the review. Of course, I will not do similar projects in the future.

Therefore, the main direction of consideration is who to play and what kind of play to make easy money and ensure word-of-mouth.
