Chapter 354: Cui Yu Difficulty(1/4)
With this little episode, in today's high-level meeting (which can also be called the collective meeting of Xianyu bosses), the topic of variety shows was brought up as a matter of course.
Ding Wei herself doesn't need to do anything. She just needs to get started, and then her own company's internal staff will complete it.
At the same time, there is one more thing.
That is, from the establishment of the company to the present, it can be said that there has been no idle day, and the current results are gratifying.
"From the Deep" has just finished its hit run, and it's a sure bet that it will be the drama of the year.
The protagonist Chen Tianhai made a mistake and caused a public discussion on social phenomena, and successfully got his name on it.
Although "The Guardian Calls" is a children's drama, the profits from the various peripheral and clothing stores linked to it have made people not only focus on this drama.
What's more, this drama itself is so successful. High investment means high returns. Among today's popular dramas, it has already ranked among the top five. Industry predictions suggest that this year's most outstanding children's drama will probably be this one.
Department.
But in this respect, their company is also the undoubted winner.
The company has even started working on the second part in full swing.
…
This is also the current situation in the domestic entertainment industry.
Regardless of whether it is good or bad, as long as there is a little profit, everyone will want to make a second or third part. I wish I could continue filming forever.
But in the end, not many became classics, and instead they were called dog-tailed minks.
Of course, children may not feel much about this, but they think it would be great as long as it is photographed.
What's more, the original cast, the original team, the original costumes and props, what else is there to find fault with?
Even though Li Mingyi is now not only satisfied with providing costumes for children's dramas, she also has a group of designers under her.
You know, Hong Kong CEO Li Mingyi is very wealthy and knows how to motivate employees.
Whoever designs the best-selling clothes will get a share of the sales.
Is there anything in this world that can be more inspiring than real money?
The design team's inspirations burst out like sparks every day, and their pens are constantly brushing.
In this state, who would even think about engaging in intrigues?
Make money!
With such a big market, isn’t it easy to make money?
…
Of course, Ding Wei, the screenwriter of this second drama, is no longer involved.
After all, she really doesn't have the energy now.
Besides, she only wrote an initial version of the original script, and later relied on the company's in-house screenwriter team for later adjustments and modifications.
Professional things are done by professionals.
She couldn't get involved in everything.
…
The focus of today's meeting, in addition to the temporarily added ideas about variety shows, is that the planning department is still thinking about whether it can be done in parallel.
Currently, the company has three dramas, one has just been completed, one is currently being aired, and one is about to be aired.
One part after another, the connection is quite good.
But such a large company has sufficient personnel, whether it is the screenwriter team or the cooperating director team, etc., and it is completely possible to carry out two or three different projects at the same time. Why do we have to do this one after another?
Moreover, the market is now booming, with hundreds of themes blooming, and golden opportunities everywhere. But the more this happens, the more we need to be wary of the future.
Their company has connections and connections, so they can do everything one step faster than others, but there is no guarantee that this will always be the case in the future.
If a certain drama dies due to some force majeure reasons, you can't just watch this period and miss it.
…
"I think this is good."
Ding Wei pondered: "The original works of the screenwriters in our company are quite good, but since the establishment of the company, none of their works has been published. They only check for my omissions and fill in the gaps - to be honest, my level is really not good."
Come this far.”
In the past, Ding Wei might have been a little arrogant, but since she accepted Lao Wang's training, the more she learned, the more inadequate she felt.
"...If things go on like this in the long run, it is actually not conducive to improving everyone's confidence. Over time, I am afraid that real talents will not be retained."
Song Cheng smiled instead, his eyes full of tolerance.
"It doesn't matter. The market determines everything. The script you write sells well. This is strength."
His words sounded cruel, but his expression was so natural.
Ding Wei was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized.
——Oh, China has never paid much attention to screenwriters.
In a market where capital flows everywhere, screenwriters are being marginalized step by step as the times progress.
This kind of marginalization is a quiet but naked pursuit of profit. It has gradually developed to the point where they can best reflect their abilities. I am afraid that when the actors ask for additional scenes and changes to the script, they write flying pages on the spot.
.
It sounds cruel, but this is reality.
Many screenwriters write good scripts, but in the end they end up being messy and nondescript.
From this, it is enough to see that they actually have no say in this aspect.
Therefore, Song Cheng's attitude probably represents the collective view of the entire circle.
…
All in all, Song Cheng's smile made Ding Wei understand the living conditions of screenwriters today.
After all, not everyone has two big boss sisters like her. Now she can directly count her film and television rights as investment and invest them directly in the drama.
Even though the first part was a test of the waters, the next two parts were obviously profitable, but they still followed the same pattern.
This kind of behavior of forcibly dividing meat from other people's bowls, if she didn't have a good sister, even if the novel sells well, what if the copyright is expensive?
Looking at the entire entertainment market, almost no one has such an opportunity.
…
After much tossing and tossing, after the belated lunch was settled in the company cafeteria, the matter finally came to a decision.
When Ding Wei and Bai Shanshan went downstairs, they met an unexpected person as soon as they got out of the elevator——
"Both?"
Lin Shuangshuang was also very happy.
After not seeing her for a while, her appearance seems to have improved a lot.
But this is understandable, after all, she has not been filming frequently recently, and she is also constantly improving herself and taking care of herself.
The traces on my body caused by hard work are gradually receding, and my little face has become smooth and white.
If she was like a famous flower in the world before, now she is gradually beginning to have an ethereal fairy aura.
"Sister Weiwei."
Lin Shuangshuang came over quickly.
As usual, she was accompanied by her assistant, who took good care of her. Now, Lin Shuangshuang is very accustomed to living with her.
"Are you here to take a class at the company?"
Counting her mental age, when Ding Wei looks at the seventeen-year-old Lin Shuangshuang now, she always feels like she is still a child. But once Lin Shuangshuang starts talking, this child immediately turns into a mature adult.
Generally speaking, artists don't have to be in the company around the clock, but thinking about Lin Shuangshuang's difficult training period before, Ding Wei made this guess.
Lin Shuangshuang shook her head.
She looked a little guilty: "When I went out for a walk with Sister Xiaoyu, I met someone she knew. That person seemed to recognize me. I was afraid of having any impact on the company, so I stopped by to communicate with the agent.
"
Someone you know?
The wording is very interesting.
Ding Wei frowned.
If it was just a general recognition, Lin Shuangshuang wouldn't make such a fuss.
"what happened?"
Lin Shuangshuang sighed.
