Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 645 "Langya List"!
"Oh?"

Li Zhifan smiled wryly, and said casually, "Director Wu, as long as your broadcasting department doesn't edit TV dramas randomly, I'll be happy. You see, "Latent" was cut to pieces, and the audience didn't care about it." For other requirements, I hope that an episode can be watched for 10 or 35 minutes, but you cut an episode of 6 or [-] minutes, which is far from the audience's expectations!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Wu Yibo said again and again, "We have been researching and improving this internally. Now that you watch "Latent", we have returned to two episodes a day, each episode is 10 minutes long. I love watching them all, and the running time is much longer than one CCTV episode!"

"Oh, yes!"

Li Zhifan smiled, and stopped talking about this issue. From the perspective of the interests of the TV station, many aspects cannot allow them to really compromise with netizens and audiences. Moreover, as the party that holds the right to speak and take the initiative, how does Mango Channel broadcast the audience? Look, it's already ingrained, and it's hard to make changes in the short term.

If there is such a day, it must be that the audience's concept has changed and the market structure has changed.

"Director Wu, why don't you buy ready-made TV dramas?"

Li Zhifan added, "How many TV dramas are filmed every month and every week in China, and how many TV dramas have been filmed but can't be sold? I think Mr. Wu knows better than me!"

"The key is quality!"

Wu Yibo emphasized, "Quality has a lot to do with first-line directors, first-line actors, and first-line scripts. Dramas that can achieve these three points are simply not available now, and other satellite TVs are also vying for them, and many of these dramas are filmed. The broadcasting party has already been decided before, and those producers with deep capital are sitting on the ground and starting the price, such as Hu Xiaolong's new film, which has just started shooting, and it is said that the price of one episode has already doubled from what was agreed before the filming. The key is that there are still many satellite TVs vying for it, and they want to broadcast it in the third or fourth quarter!"

"Hu Xiaolong..."

Li Zhifan narrowed his eyes, not to mention that he didn't take it seriously, after Wu Yibo's reminder, he suddenly burst into blood. It was a very primitive sense of impulsiveness, something he hadn't felt for a long time.

Could it be because of Hu Xiaolong's status in the TV circle?

"Director Wu!"

Li Zhifan changed his tone, and asked kindly, "Can I ask, how many episodes of Hu Xiaolong's drama is it now?"

"This one……"

Wu Yibo smiled wryly, "When we contacted five days ago, we had already reached 1000 million episodes. It is said that this is still rising every day, but we gave up here, not because of money, but because their drama is luxurious, But it’s not worth the current price at all, let alone Wu Kele’s salary alone exceeds [-] million, hehe, with all due respect, whoever pays the bill is an idiot!”

"I didn't expect Mr. Wu to be a person who values ​​quality and quality!"

Li Zhifan nodded, "Okay, I'll take it! But I have to think about what to shoot, give me a week, as for the money... I don't want to be lower than Hu Xiaolong and the others, but I can guarantee that the quality is several times higher than theirs !"

"This……"

Wu Yibo thought about it, and finally accepted.

If it is exhausted, Hu Xiaolong's drama will only increase to 1500 million episodes, and it will be impossible to go higher.

If Li Zhifan can really guarantee that the quality is several times higher than Hu Xiaolong's drama, then he can still accept this as the base price.

What's more, the purchase of Mango TV is not only the TV station, but also the online copyright of Mango TV. In terms of advertising share, it can also ask for a direct buyout. After all, Mango TV has a thousand ways to make money. Not bad.

Now that he took over this task, Li Zhifan started to make preparations.

However, his first preparatory work was not to think about what drama he would shoot, but to see what kind of work "Legend of Allure" was filmed by his opponent Hu Xiaolong.

It is actually not difficult to find out some news in the circle, and there are commercial espionage, so it is not a problem to get the script of "Legend of Allure".

On the second day of preparation, Li Zhifan began to close the door at home and read the script of "The Overwhelming Country".

If you want to defeat your opponents, you must know yourself and your enemy. The script is only a small part. In addition, the actors of this show also need to do in-depth research and analyze their strengths and weaknesses.

Three days later, Li Zhifan read all the materials.

And only then did he start preparing for the scenes he was going to film.

Open the backpack and take a look at the scripts accumulated by grabbing red envelopes in previous years.

After the selection, my mind was fixed on a TV series called "Langya Bang".

This drama has been around for some years, but Li Zhifan has never had the idea or plan to shoot it.

But this time, it is about to make its grand debut in this world with the posture of being ordered in danger!

"It's you!"

After Li Zhifan made the final decision, he immediately began to devote himself to the creation of the story outline and script.

……

A week ended quickly. According to the agreement, Mango Terrace was very anxious. This week seemed to have passed a year.

Finally, on this day, early in the morning, Wu Yibo called Li Zhifan himself.

"Hello? Xiao Li, hehe! It's me. Have you decided on any kind of drama?"

"deal!"

Li Zhifan said, "I have already written the script for three episodes, give me another week, and the filming will start next week!"

"Down……"

Wu Yibo almost bit his tongue, "Are you sure next week? This... how many episodes do you plan to shoot in total?"

From his point of view, Li Zhifan produced three episodes of the script in one week, and the speed was simply crazy, but it started broadcasting so soon, could it be a short TV series that will be finished with more than ten or twenty episodes?
"Probably, there are more than 50 episodes!"

Li Zhifan said, "Director Wu, I have lengthened the drama for this time, so let's talk about it first, and you will broadcast it as I film it. Don't cut it for me!"

"sure!"

When Wu Yibo heard that there were more than 50 episodes, he was very happy at the moment. Although this meant that the station had to pay more money, the harvest of advertising fees has also increased correspondingly!

But he quickly reacted...

What? With more than 50 episodes, filming will start in a week?
Is it...

"Xiao Li, you don't intend to write the script while filming, do you?"

If this is the case, the only suitable ones are sitcoms. This kind of drama has one or two episodes and one story, which does not affect the coherence of the big plot, and can also play a role in promoting.

"Correct!"

Li Zhifan said, "I plan to cast the cast first next week, and then go to other places to shoot the scene. At the same time, the main scene will also be built immediately. Of course, I will arrange these. You only need to pay for it!"

"Uh, cough cough! Good, good!"

Wu Yibo was full of suspicion, so it was definitely impossible to just pay casually.

If you haven't seen the finished film, even if you have a script, how can you determine the price with just a few pieces of paper and a cast list?

"Xiao Li, why don't we have a meeting!"

Wu Yibo said, "If you are busy, let's go to the capital, okay!"

"That's fine!" Li Zhifan didn't refuse, he thought of what Wu Yibo might be worried about, but he didn't think about it too seriously, because he had more important things to do.

The next day, the people from Mango Terrace arrived.

Wu Yibo was still leading the team himself, but this time besides Yang Lu, Ye Qiuxin also followed.

"Xiao Li, how many episodes have you written the script?"

As soon as Wu Yibo took his seat, he said casually with a smile.

In his opinion, Li Zhifan shouldn't be able to write much, after all, it's only been a day.

"Five episodes!"

Li Zhifan directly took out the script and the story text, and said, "I plan to shoot ten episodes first, don't worry, we will invest in this part ourselves, and we will negotiate the price after the ten episodes are filmed! If Director Wu is still worried, you can Appropriate funds in batches, according to the set stand-alone price, give us ten episodes and ten episodes!"

One word from Li Zhifan blocked Wu Yibo's most wanted question.

And the method proposed by Li Zhifan is undoubtedly the best.

If the filming is not good, the money will not be given anyway, and the first ten episodes will still be paid out of their own pockets by the timeline, not a loss!

"Then if you have any questions and need our early assistance, you can just say it!"

Wu Yibo laughed, "As long as we can do it, it's absolutely fine."

"Of course it's a question of the filming license!"

Li Zhifan said, "There is also the location selection. I have already selected the shooting location. Except for the parts that need to be built, many scenes are ready-made, but it is a problem to use them quickly. In this regard, you need to come forward. "

"Okay! No problem, we will try our best to talk!"

Wu Yibo picked up the A4 paper on the table and glanced at the scene Li Zhifan had chosen.

"Hengdian Film and Television City Qin Palace Scenic Area, all rented?"

Seeing the first article, Wu Yibo was stunned, "At this time, I'm afraid I'll rent them all..."

Li Zhifan said directly: "Director Wu, don't forget what you just said!"

"Ok, I know!"

Wu Yibo sneered, and looked at the second item: "Wenzhou Yandang Mountain Scenic Area? This should not be difficult, West Zhejiang Grassland? Well, this can also be contacted immediately!"

After reading these scene selection requirements, look at the construction below.

"What? Build all this in a week?"

Wu Yibo was stunned again, but recovered quickly, nodded and said: "It should be no problem, as long as you are willing to spend money, these scenes are easy to get."

"Well!" Li Zhifan continued, "There is nothing else. Many scenes can be completed in front of the green screen, relying on post-production. In addition to leaving me to write the script, the next week is to determine the role. This project is very large. I need Manpower, and I hope Taili can help."

"no problem!"

Wu Yibo readily agreed, saying, "Let's read the script first!"

There was only one set of scripts, and the three of them got together and began to read it.

The name of the drama that first caught my eye - "Langya Bang"!
Then the first page is the synopsis of the play:

Mei Changsu was far away in the rivers and lakes, but his name moved the emperor's chariot.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes: "Jiangzuo Meilang, the talent of the unicorn, can win the world if he gets it."

As the leader of the world's largest gang "Jiang Zuo League", Mei Changsu's reputation as "Mei Lang" is well-known in the world.

However, Mei Changsu, who has the supreme status in the world, is a sick and weak young man, who is burdened with a huge injustice and blood feud more than ten years ago. Even his life experience hides a huge secret.

It turned out that 12 years ago, during the Datong period of the Nanliang Dynasty, when the Northern Wei Dynasty raised troops and went south, Lin Shu, the Marshal of the Red Flame Army, went out with his father and led [-] soldiers to fight against the enemy.

Lin Shu retrieved his remaining life from the gate of hell, experienced the pain of losing all his loved ones, cutting bones and changing faces, and transformed himself into Mei Changsu, the leader of the Jiangzuo League, the largest gang in the world.

Twelve years later, Mei Changsu returned to the imperial capital in white clothes under the guise of recuperating from his illness, and embarked on the road of revenge, revenge, and seizing the heir apparent.In the face of Princess Nihuang who had a marriage contract, his old best friend Jing Wang Xiao Jingyan, and everything he was familiar with in the past, he could only endure everything silently, and seemingly inadvertently, with his sickly body, he set off waves of blood shadows with one hand. , assisted Mingjun King Jing to ascend to the throne, and cleared the stigma of the 12 Chiyan loyal souls.

However, due to the chaotic governance of Emperor Wu of Liang in his later years, chaos arose everywhere in the Southern Dynasty. The Eastern Wei Dynasty, which had been established in place of the Northern Wei Dynasty, took the opportunity to send troops southward, and there was no one in the court to lead the army.

In order to solve the national crisis, Mei Changsu resolutely put on his armour, regardless of his health and weakness, and went out to fight. In just three months, he led Daliang's army to put down the wolf smoke in the northern border at one stroke, and returned Daliang to peace and stability.At this time, Mei Changsu also exhausted his last bit of effort and spent his life on the battlefield.

……

The outline of the story is actually equivalent to a short story. In the actual writing of the script, there may be slight discrepancies with the outline of the story. Therefore, after reading the outline of the story, Wu Yibo and the three of them were not particularly surprised, and they also had a deep impression on the play. Got the first image and probably.

"Costume drama!"

Wu Yibo said, "If this theme is filmed well, it will be very popular in the market, especially those female fans. Haha, our Mango Channel broadcasts about five costume dramas every year, just to win over these female audiences."

"Ok!"

Li Zhifan smiled without saying a word.

This "Langya Bang" is a man's play, it can even be said to be a man's palace fight play.

Although female characters also account for a large proportion in the play, it does not take women as the first perspective, so it is completely different from most ancient costume dramas on the market today.

As for the first-person view of the heroine like "Legend of Allure", it is even different.

"Is there any historical basis for this story?"

After watching the plot of the first episode, Ye Qiuxin found that she fell in love with this drama. Although it was just words, it was very attractive.

"No, this is an alternate history drama!"

Li Zhifan said, "All the countries and sects in it are fictional!"

"Empty?"

Wu Yibo and the three raised their heads at the same time, looking at Li Zhifan in surprise.

It's not that they don't accept superficiality, but that no one has ever filmed superficial scenes.

Although there are many online novels with alternate histories, there is no precedent for them to be adapted to the screen.

There are many reasons for this, but most TV drama directors are more willing to draw materials from actual history when they make period films.

For example, "Legend of the Fallen City" is adapted from the history of the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Even if it is an ancient costume martial arts drama, the background also has historical basis, and it is not fabricated out of thin air!
Oh, fabrications!
Perhaps it is this word that makes the background unreliable, so no director is willing to touch it.

The first costume drama directed by Li Zhifan directly entered the field of alternate history. I don't know if he is ambitious, or...in order to avoid historical mistakes and being entangled by netizens, he did it deliberately?
