I really don't want to be trending with big stars

Chapter 69 I'm an Upright Person

Song Yi got off the plane, chatted with Tang Wanqing for a while in the car, and then arrived at the company.

It's past nine o'clock in the evening.

But the office building is still brightly lit.

It was the first time for Song Yi to see his colleagues working overtime. After all, he used to commute to and from get off work on time before, so he couldn't see it even if he wanted to.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he felt a little emotional.

I used to be a social animal. Although I am still a social animal now, I am a high-level social animal. I work from nine to five, and I don’t have the blessings of 996.

He is not for living, but for experiencing life.

This is a qualitative change.

After Song Yi arrived at the office, he greeted his colleagues, and then generously ordered a midnight snack for everyone on the mobile phone's take-out software.

When he came to Director Li's office, Song Yi skillfully sat on the chair opposite to Director Li, and gave the leader the USB flash drive in his hand.

"Director Li, here are episodes 1-2 of our "Golden Branch Desire"."

Director Li got up and poured a cup of coffee for Song Yi, took the USB flash drive over, and said with a smile, "Is it tiring to call you back in such a hurry? There is no way. The person who declared over there told me that for some reason, The leaders of the relevant departments temporarily changed the time."

"It's okay, it's all for business."

Director Li asked with concern: "You and Director Zhang have also worked for more than a week, how do you feel? Is the filming of this scene going well?"

"It's not bad, it's relatively smooth. He is very demanding and professional, but he has a bit of a temper."

Song Yi smiled and said, "But the effect of the shooting has met my expectations."

"Director Zhang Jianzhong is like this, he is famous for his temper, just get used to it.

He came from a professional background and became famous at a young age. Over the years, he has continuously produced good works in the film and television industry. level character. "

"I understand."

Song Yi nodded and said, "Before looking for him, I had read his profile on the Internet."

"That's good, so in terms of the quality of the TV series, I'm not too worried about you guys."

Director Li hesitated for a while, and then said: "However, I am a little worried about you and Director Zhang adopting this method of filming while broadcasting."

"why?"

"First, because this is the first time you have done this in the whole country, the time required for filming and broadcasting is very high, which means that the fault tolerance rate is very low. It is easy to cause playback accidents and cannot be updated and played normally.”

After hearing this, Song Yi said: "Director Zhang and I have already considered this point, so we gave ourselves a little buffer time.

We are hurrying now, and we will not broadcast until the sixth episode is first filmed, so that we have a buffer period of three weeks to deal with unexpected situations. "

"Then the second point, have you ever considered that your mode of filming while broadcasting will greatly increase the cost of filming the entire show?"

Director Li explained: "Originally, we initially estimated that the cost of your drama will be no more than 20 million, but now that you are doing this, the cost of filming, I will calculate it for you, and it will directly increase by half, that is, It's close to 30 million."

"." Song Yi.

At this point, to be honest, he really didn't think of it at first.

He didn't discover the problem until the entire crew had been filming for a week.

He thought it would be 4 million more at most.

Hearing Director Li's words now, I was really surprised. I didn't expect so much money to come out.

"Hey, Manager Huang has a headache about you."

Director Li said kindly: "The sudden increase in the cost of the script made her feel a little dissatisfied with you in her heart. She probably won't approve the extra money."

"fine."

Song Yi replied: "The company doesn't support it. If there is too much money, I will find a way by myself and find someone to raise money."

"Xiao Song."

Director Li said: "Why don't you listen to my brother's advice, don't shoot and broadcast at the same time, just shoot and then broadcast, okay? If you do this, the risk is really great.

Although your script is good and the director is also good, but the genre of your drama is too unpopular, if it is put on the market, if the audience doesn't pay for it, there is a high chance of losing money.

And about your drama, our company has already revealed some information to the outside world in the early stage, and the feedback we received is not very good. "

Song Yi really hasn't paid much attention to the news in this area recently.

He asked curiously: "Director Li, tell me, what feedback do you have?"

"In the film and television industry, many famous film critics, directors, and Internet celebrities have expressed cryptically that perhaps Director Zhang's unique behavior this time may be due to the fact that he did not use stars with top traffic and did not meet the needs of the market. Taste, leading to dismal ratings."

"Since you talked about it, Director Li, I just happened to tell you about it."

After Song Yi took a sip of coffee, he said, "I've made up my mind about the mode of filming and broadcasting at the same time, and I will shoot like this no matter if I lose money or make money.

I just want Director Li to ask the media to start helping me. Before broadcasting, just taking advantage of the fact that everyone is watching our jokes, I will try my best to stir up this topic again, buy a few hot searches, and try to get as many people as possible. Know. "

"." Director Li.

"I have two hot topics, one is director Zhang Jianzhong himself, who has been in retreat for three years, and the king returns; the other is our film itself."

Director Li can still understand the first one. After all, director Zhang Jianzhong is very famous and he has a sense of topic.

But the second one.
He asked, "Assistant Song, what's the point of the second one?"

"Of course it's some gossip news, the most popular pornography of the people who eat melons."

Song Yi smiled meaningfully and said, "You just let the news out to the outside world that according to insiders, a well-known actress once knocked on the screenwriter's door in the middle of the night for a role in this play."

"."

Director Li was stunned after listening, and looked at Song Yi in surprise.

I didn't expect that he, a newcomer, would use these tricks to create hot topics.

Anyway, this kind of thing is all rumors, and no one can find out whether it is true or not.

"It's a good note. I'll arrange someone to do it tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Director Li suddenly stared at Song Yi, and asked tentatively with a smile: "Xiao Song, could it be that this incident is not fake, but someone really knocked on your door in the middle of the night?"

"no!"

Song Yi shook his head and denied, "I am an upright person."

"Well, I can see it."

The corner of Director Li's mouth twitched, as if the person who wanted to spread rumors and create a topic just now wasn't you.

"By the way, Director Li."

Song Yi suddenly remembered something, and asked, "There shouldn't be any problems with the review of our film, right? I'm afraid that it will be a headache if we get stuck in the review after we shoot it."

Because in his previous life, Song Yi knew that too many TV dramas were filmed, and in the end they got stuck in the review process for no reason and couldn't play them.

As for the reason, I understand everything.

"Generally, no problem."

Director Li explained: "First, yours is an overhead background and does not involve reality. Second, your drama is broadcast on our own platform, not on David TV. It is a self-produced online drama on the platform. In terms of review, it is not so strict, it is all a formality, a routine.

Don't worry about this, we have been dealing with them for so long, and we are very familiar with them, even if there is a bit of violation of the rules in the plot, there is no problem. "

"Okay, with Director Li's words, I feel relieved."

After Song Yi finished his coffee, he got up and said with a smile: "After finishing the matter, I will go back first. Before I came, I used your name to quietly order a little supper for everyone to fill their stomachs.

The things may be delivered later, Director Li has to keep it a secret for me, don't let it slip. "

"Okay, I'll thank Assistant Song for everyone."

"They're all colleagues, as they should be."

Director Li looked at Song Yi who opened the door and left, with a smile on his lips.

This kid is very good at being a man!
