My singer girlfriend is super fierce

In fact, when filming The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Ye Zhiqiu had already thought of bringing the drama In the Name of People to the screen.

In the previous life, this was a "phenomenal" hit drama with both good performance and good reputation. During the broadcast, it once set a series of records, such as the real-time peak ratings of over 7, and the single-episode ratings set the highest record in the history of domestic TV dramas in the past decade.

The magic of this drama is that it is obviously a serious drama, but it can "catch all" audiences of multiple age groups of 70s, 80s and even 90s.

In addition to the brilliant plot itself, the reason is inseparable from the wonderful performance of a group of "old drama bone" actors in the drama.

In fact, there are a total of 80 actors in this drama, and "old drama bones" alone account for more than 40, which is an astonishing proportion of more than 50%, so it is also jokingly called "poking the nest of old drama bones" by netizens.

During the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the old actors who finally got together worked very well and formed a tacit understanding. Ye Zhiqiu naturally did not want to do just this one-time deal.

Except for a few roles that were suitable and could continue to join the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", all of them were moved to "In the Name of the People", which was far from enough...

As for the exclusive broadcast on Penguin Video, Ye Zhiqiu also considered it.

First of all, it is naturally the price. One of the important reasons why the two parties have been able to cooperate for so long is that the conditions given by Penguin Video have always been leading in the industry.

Secondly, and most importantly, it is the issue of "approval".

It is not to say that "In the Name of the People" cannot be approved, but it is foreseeable that if this drama wants to be broadcast on TV like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", due to the sensitivity of the subject matter and content, the review time will most likely be much higher than that of ordinary dramas.

It is okay to follow the normal process. Once there are some variables in the middle and it needs to be reshot or modified, then the time is uncertain, which will greatly disrupt Ye Zhiqiu's plan.

Will the censorship standards be looser when broadcasting on online channels?

Not really, but it can be broadcast faster.

No matter which channel a drama is broadcast on, the censorship standards are the same. The difference is that online dramas are "self-censored" and TV dramas are "specially censored".

Simply put, if you want your drama to be broadcast on TV, you have to submit it to the country's special administrative agency for review, but if it is broadcast on online channels, if there is authority delegated by the review agency, it can be "self-censored and self-broadcasted".

Of course, the efficiency of asking others to do things is different from doing things yourself.

Nowadays, many young people watch dramas, even if they can watch them on TV, they will be used to watching them on computers or mobile phones, so Ye Zhiqiu thinks it is okay to broadcast it on online channels first.

At most, it can be broadcast on satellite TV after the first broadcast on Penguin Video, and it can also be broadcast on the second broadcast...

On this side, Ye Zhiqiu is full of confidence, which makes Cheng Bo of Penguin Video fall into a huge dilemma.

If someone asks him to cooperate with a drama and says that it will surpass "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and its sequel "The Return of the Condor Heroes", he will probably think that the other party is bragging.

But the target is Ye Zhiqiu... he can't help but believe it!

But thinking of the theme of "anti-corruption" which comes with a street buff... Cheng Bo's face changed several times, and finally he made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

"We want this drama at Penguin!"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, don't worry. The crew is still in the early preparation stage. If you are interested, you can send someone to take a look at the script and make a decision."

Cheng Bo is also a man of courage. Since he has made a decision, he will no longer worry about gains and losses. He waved his hand and said, "No! I believe in you, Zhiqiu."

"You have come out in person, brother, I am 100% assured!"

That's right, Cheng Bo is gambling. Ye Zhiqiu's seemingly impossible success again and again made him decide to bet on it.

If the bet wins, Penguin Video will take the position of the "leader" in the industry, and he can also go a step further, and it will not be a problem to eat and drink spicy food.

But if the bet is lost... It is not so easy to mess up a big project worth 300 or 400 million yuan in your hands. People from other factions in the company will inevitably use it as an excuse, and it is possible that he will follow in the footsteps of his predecessor.

Therefore, Cheng Bo decided to take another layer of insurance and hurriedly said: "Hey, Zhiqiu, you have to keep the online broadcasting rights of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" to me, your brother."

"All conditions are negotiable, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Cheng Bo did not forget the purpose of his call. It is still unclear whether "In the Name of People" can be popular, but a project like "The Return of the Condor Heroes" that is sure to not lose money cannot be let slip away.

By then, I have completed two "S"-level projects, so what if I lose one? No one can bring me down!......

In the following days, Ye Zhiqiu continued to stay in Shangjing and did not go to other cities with the crew of "Dying to Survive" to participate in publicity activities.

In addition to participating in the third rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, he sorted out the scripts of "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "In the Name of People" and sent them to Huahai Entertainment.

He had been writing these two stories intermittently before, so it didn't take much time.

"The Return of the Condor Heroes" was already in the plan, and the preliminary preparations had been carried out before, and the framework of the crew was quickly built.

The director continued to be Zhang Kaicheng, who directed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the female lead had long been determined to be Long Yuqing.

As for the selection of the male lead "Yang Guo", Huahai Entertainment originally thought that Ye Zhiqiu would naturally take the role. After all, according to the description of Yang Guo's appearance in the book as "thin and handsome, with sword eyebrows and star eyes", Ye Zhiqiu was the most suitable...

However, the drama "In the Name of People" made this plan seem unfeasible.

If the two dramas were filmed at the same time, it would be unlikely for Ye Zhiqiu to play the leading role in both.

In fact, the situation of "overlapping" is very common among some stars who have many drama appointments, that is, taking on multiple dramas at the same time, and rushing to another set after finishing one set...

This "non-stop" assembly line mode is efficient for actors, but it also has a fatal disadvantage. It is difficult for actors to get into the role if they keep switching between roles with different backgrounds and personalities.

Moreover, it does not seem to respect the actors in the same crew.

After all, others are fully committed, and you affect your state and shooting progress because of overlapping dramas, which is actually a disguised damage to the interests of others.

Although with Ye Zhiqiu's status, no one would dare to raise opinions even if he was in the overlapping drama group, but he has very high standards for his own works, so naturally he would not choose this method.

For this reason, the actor for the role of "Yang Guo" in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" will be put on hold for the time being, and will be selected slowly and decided after the Spring Festival.

On the other hand, the progress of "In the Name of the People" will be slower.

There are several veteran actors from the National Theatre in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Out of respect, it would be best for Ye Zhiqiu to personally call and invite them. This is not a difficult task.

However, Huahai Entertainment was a bit troubled about the selection of the director.
