The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 6 Planning Book

It is not difficult to draw sub-shots, basically every director can draw.

In the eyes of professionals, different directors have different storyboard styles.

After all, everyone has a different perspective on issues.

For example, when a mother sees it raining, she may wonder if her child has brought an umbrella to school

When it rains, an office worker may wonder if the boss will fall and don't have to work overtime tonight.

This is a different perspective on the problem.

In fact, whether it is a movie, a TV series, or a novel, the themes expressed are often the same.

Praise love, praise family, miss friendship, and praise patriotism.

After all, it is these emotions. The director, or the writer, is not concerned with what is expressed, but with how they express and tell the story.

Lee Shing Yew is not a dead-head, and he doesn't feel that he needs to do more adaptations. The original work is already very successful, and he doesn't need to add other ideas.

In the small rental room, while recalling the plot, he drew the sub-shots exactly.

Although he is not original, he still has a sense of accomplishment when he sees the manuscripts one by one.

Chinese directors in this era don't know how to make idol dramas, or they don't bother to make idol dramas.

Regardless of whether it is a director from the mainland, Hong Kong or Taiwan, the idol dramas produced are actually not aesthetically pleasing.

Even "Meteor Garden", which is about to become a big hit, actually relies on the good looks of the male lead and the male lead, and it can be said that there is no merit in other places.

Randomly capture a piece of screen, you will feel cheap and impetuous.

There is no soil for the development of idol dramas in the Mainland, while those directors in Hong Kong and Taiwan want to save money, keep everything simple, and are in a hurry.

This is why Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas can be popular in the mainland, Annan, and Malay Chinese, but no one watches them in other places.

So ugly.

Who would want to see a fake set that would kill you, and a cheap roadside service similar to a roadside stall.

Korean dramas as a whole have borrowed from the filming system of the beautiful country. Although many of their costume dramas look awkward and simple, the fashion dramas are basically subdued, and the pictures and music are very good.

This is why Korean dramas are popular but Chinese dramas are not.

"Love Hotel" will be the first TV series filmed by Lee Sheng Yew. He hopes to make it good-looking and beautiful. At this time, he is very serious about drawing the sub-camera.

"Drink, brothers."

"If there is wine today, if you are drunk today, the flowers will be broken."

"I just touched that girl's ass, it's really cool."

In the corridor outside the rental house, a group of people were drinking mad again.

Li Shengyao frowned slightly, then blocked all outside interference, and concentrated on doing his own thing.

He drew very fast, and by the time he went to sleep, he had already drawn two episodes of the script.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Li Shengyao got up early, washed up, and then went outside for morning exercises.

After all, Yanjing is the capital, and there are still many parks. He ran and practiced boxing in the Lianhuachi Park next to the West Railway Station. After practicing for an hour, he was sweating all over, and then walked back satisfied.

Passing by a small stall, he bought three cages of meat buns.

Li Shengyao likes to eat meat, and he doesn't like meat.

He doesn't like vegetarian food very much.

He feels that eating meat every day makes him more energetic and less prone to sleepiness. Of course, for the sake of nutrition, he still eats a lot of vegetarian food.

Back in the rental room, Li Shengyao continued to draw the sub-camera.

As the name suggests, the drama "Love Hotel" mainly tells the story in a big hotel.

This "big hotel" is actually a five-star hotel, which has catering, accommodation, fitness, and other entertainment facilities.

Overall, there are fewer places that need sets.

Just need to find a stylish and modern five-star hotel.

Under such circumstances, Li Shengyao drew the sub-shots very quickly.

He drew the sub-cameras of two more episodes in one morning, and Li Shengyao estimated that he would be able to draw the sub-cameras of the ninth episode before going to bed tonight.

That should be sincere enough.

but……

Li Shengyao tore open the instant noodles in his hand, put the noodles into an iron basin, then poured the hot water he had just filled into it, took out a book, and covered the iron basin.

He is still too young to look like a director, but more like a handyman on a set.

Although the coal boss is jokingly called an upstart, he is not really a fool.

If Li Shengyao was the coal boss, he would not invest his money in a young man.

Unless he doesn't care, he doesn't expect to get his money back at all, he just wants to play with it.

It's just that such a generous coal boss, I don't know if he can meet.

Li Shengyao thought for a while, and looked at the storyboard manuscript in his hand. There are already four episodes of manuscripts, which should be enough.

He might as well make more preparations.

For example, make a plan and show it to the coal boss. His drama has a great hope of making money.

Li Shengyao thought for a while, and felt that this idea was correct, and he had to be more comprehensive.

He then put down the storyboard manuscript and began to write the planning book for "Emotional Hotel", starting from the very first script, talking about the benefits of this script and its development prospects.

Then he analyzed the investment in the play, from the salary of the actors, to the wages of the field workers, as well as the props, as well as the food, accommodation and other expenses, he wrote them down one by one.

It stated that the drama will be filmed in Shanghai.

The reason why I went to Shanghai City is naturally because Shanghai City is the most fashionable city in the Mainland.

Idol dramas must be beautiful, with beautiful characters, beautiful scenery, and all kinds of pictures must be fashionable and beautiful, so that people can yearn for it.

Next is the prospect of this drama.

At this time, it seems that some big and good dramas can sell for 20 episodes, and the more ordinary ones can usually sell for [-] to [-] episodes.

"Love Hotel" has a total of 28 episodes. If it is based on 200 episodes, it can sell nearly [-] million.

If the cost is 150 million, excluding nearly 20.00% of the tax, then there is no profit, and it barely pays off.

However, this is only the first round of broadcast rights. If the ratings are good, there will inevitably be a second and third round of broadcasting, and there will be some profits at that time.

In addition, this drama was later remade in several regions and countries, and the copyright fee is not low.

Of course Lee Shing Yew wouldn't write it, he just wrote about broadcasting rights, not copyright.

The copyright of the script he wrote naturally belongs to him, and the coal boss only has the right to broadcast the first three rounds of dividends.

Just thinking and writing like this, until the early morning, Li Shengyao completed the proposal for "Love Hotel", then he set the alarm clock and went to bed.

Closing his eyes, he couldn't help but think about tomorrow. If the coal boss can agree to invest, he can complete the primitive accumulation.

In the previous life, this drama was a big hit in Wanwan, the annual ratings No. 2, at least one episode of [-], and it can make up for it in just one place.

Thinking of this, Li Shengyao immediately sat up, and the distribution of broadcasting rights dividends to the coal boss should only be in the inland area, excluding Wanwan.

He then started to revise the plan, and the part about broadcasting rights dividends was only limited to the mainland.

After revising the plan, he closed his eyes, but he still couldn't help thinking wildly, and he fell asleep after a long time.
