Chapter 385 A Great Victory
There have been a lot of comments about "The Ming Dynasty 2", especially when the two dramas are halfway through.

"In-depth analysis of "The Ming Dynasty 2""

"Super Burning Three-Hour Brain-Burning Explanation Part [-]"

"Pause frame by frame! Take you into "The Ming Dynasty 2""

"A brief talk about "The Ming Dynasty 2", the political genius Emperor Jiajing"

The first "Ming Dynasty 1566" mainly focuses on the story line of Jiajing and Hai Rui, while the second part selects the story of Jiajing and Xu Jie, and also intersperses the branch lines of Wang Yangming and Lu Jiuyuan.

Therefore, in the second part of the sequel, the actual story development has nothing to do with the first part. It can only be said that they are all in the Jiajing year, and they all show the strange court situation. What is more excellent about the second part is that there are also philosophical fragments involving mainland China. Wang Xinxue…

On the other hand, compared to Ming Er in "Nirvana in Fire", there is simply a gap between a high school senior and a junior!

Don't get me wrong, "The Ming Dynasty 2" is the third year of high school, and "Nirvana in Fire" is the third year.

What surprised Tencent Video was that in terms of popularity, regardless of Weibo hot searches, Douyin short video hot spots, or Baidu search index, "Nirvana in Fire" was a crushing victory.

"It's a pity that "The Ming Dynasty 2" is a classic work." Director Kan Tao of Nirvana in Fire sighed, and there was sympathy among his peers. Anyway, he thought that he would not be able to produce a work of such magnitude in another ten years.

"What a pity. Who still watches historical dramas nowadays? The subject matter was wrong from the beginning." Chen Bing said.

Chen is the executive director of "Nirvana in Fire". He shot a short film that won the best feature short film at the Xiamen Short Film Week. He was signed by Daydream Studio and is interested in cultivating it.

"The masterpiece effect, I don't know if it is called this, but I named it this myself. People can pick up their mobile phones and read online novels at any time, whether they are squatting, eating or commuting, they can read them at any time." Chen Bing said , "But in these environments, people don't want to use their spare time to read classics. They probably think that classics must be serious, or that classics should be read calmly to read."

"Similar to historical dramas such as "The Ming Dynasty 2", people will not use it to eat. In this era where watching dramas requires double speed, people will not want to be baptized by historical dramas after a busy day."

Chen Bing's words hit the nail on the head, "If you look at the video explaining the second part, it has millions of views, but no one has watched the original film. This is the biggest proof."

What you said makes sense, but can we not talk about squatting and eating together? Kan Tao is helpless.

""Nirvana in Fire" wins the present, and "The Ming Dynasty 2" wins the future." Kan Tao said that classic film and television dramas are always mentioned by people no matter how many years have passed.

"Then who do you think is to blame?" Kan Tao felt that although the other party's words were sharp, he also had his own thoughts, so he asked a digression.

Chen Bing looked half-smiling, and asked, "Do you know why the former Soviet Union was so powerful in the field of art? Ballet, opera, and music all have their place."

"Tell me something." Kan Tao felt that this guy was about to say something shocking again.

"Because of the eight-hour work system in the former Soviet Union, people could only work 42 hours a week, so people had a lot of time to engage in art," Chen Bingdao said, "Who is to blame? You first let the country control both..."

"Okay, needless to say the rest. Director Chu must have been waiting for a long time. Let's go faster." Kan Tao hurriedly stopped him, and he was about to attract the river crab master.

The two of them arrived hand in hand, the director's office was open, and Chu Yuan's mood was also bright, which could be seen from the happy expression on her face.

It would be strange to be unhappy. "Nirvana in Fire" was a huge success, and costume themes can be exported to Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam. Daydream Pictures has already negotiated an agreement. This drama will bring a profit of at least 2 million to the company.

1000 million is definitely a conservative estimate. Just for the six countries of Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam, the combined introduction costs are about [-] million US dollars. "If Director Kan has any new works, please let me know at any time and don't consider investing. In addition, the company will hold a celebration banquet, and the entire crew will receive big red envelopes." Chu Yuan knew that it was better to give money in real terms than to talk too much.

Feeling happy, he had money, and his next work was guaranteed. Kan Tao said that he liked this kind of boss.

"The success of "Nirvana in Fire" is also inseparable from Director Chen's efforts." Chu Yuan looked at Chen Bing with satisfaction.

Xiamen Short Film Week can be said to be a relatively authoritative short film festival in China. Many outstanding filmmakers will participate, and Chen Bing is one of the contestants she picked up.

"My contribution is small, it all depends on Brother Thirteen to take charge of the overall situation, and then Director Chu Yuan, you are always at the helm. With the efforts of both of you, "Nirvana in Fire" can be successful." Chen Bing opened his mouth.

"..." Where is your sharpness, or your sharp words? Kan Tao next to him was speechless. They had been filming together for so long and still hadn't discovered Chen's hidden side.

"Okay, okay, if a drama is successful, you must have worked harder." Chu Yuan said, "You have been the deputy director of a drama, and you should have accumulated a lot of creative experience, so the company will give you two A choice.”

"Director, tell me." Chen Bing listened meekly.

"The first option is for you to be the assistant director of two more dramas to continue to accumulate experience. After that, we will give you a medium-to-high investment amount as your filming funds."

Chu Yuan said, "The second option is to directly direct the tube in the next step, but the company can only provide a small-cost investment amount."

This choice is really... a bit difficult.

According to the company's filming efficiency, the two works will take at least a year and a half. After all, you will definitely not be able to seamlessly connect the filming.

Now, small cost.

A year and a half later, mid-cost.

Chen Bing struggled for a while and then made up his mind, "Does Director Chu have any suggestions? Let me refer to it. After all, Director Chu has crossed more bridges than I have."

"No, I don't like wandering that much." Chu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "My personal suggestion is to play it safe and practice two more plays."

From the company's point of view, Chu Yuan hopes that Chen Bing will be steady, but from a personal point of view, she wants Chen Bing to be more aggressive. However, sometimes the position conflicts with your views.

"Then I will practice two more films. I also feel that there are still some areas where I am not good enough." Chen Bing said, "But Director Chu, if I want to practice five more films, can you give me a large investment directly?"

"..." Chu Yuan thought for a long time and then said, "You can take a look at a high-cost script. High-cost scripts require cross-examination by multiple departments in the company. Whether the project can be approved or not is not my decision."

"I just said it casually, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously," Chen Bing said.

In fact, Chen Bing had a small-cost script in mind, which was about a person being buried alive. It only required one actor and an extremely narrow space.

The entire face-off shooting has extremely high requirements for actors, so the ideal candidate is Huang Baiyou... But Chen Bing is very aware of his boss's status. He is a big star who is making waves in Hollywood, starring in a low-budget film by an unknown director. , the probability is zero.

Unless there are new goods - Chen Bing made a small calculation in his heart.
