Ideal Entertainment - Chapter 111
The biscuits must be eaten.
People have brought it to you, whoever doesn’t eat is stupid.
Chu Qiu is not stupid, he still thinks he is quite clever.
But in the end, you still have to get the consent of the person who makes the pie.
Chu Qiu took advantage of a few days before the official auction of the premiere rights of “Wen Hao”, and squatted in the corner whenever he had time to ponder the audition clips and characters.
When director Adams said that there would be an Asian role and gave a rough description of the identity background, Chu Qiu had a bottom line in his heart. Chu Qiu had seen the “A” series. Before he was reborn, this series Has developed to the fourth part.
In the previous life, this series was considered an internationally well-known big IP, and every box office was very popular. The word-of-mouth is also a well-established popcorn film. The audience saw it as a refreshing picture.
But compared to the famous series directed by Adams, “A” is a bit too standard, except for the special effects that won a golden award, there is no other special highlight.
Even so, this work is enough for Chu Qiu who wants to set foot on international movie screens.
Originally, Chu Qiu thought so, but when he really got the role, he found that he still took it for granted.
What does one say?
History is always moving forward.
With Adams’s keen sense of business, after digging out the consumption potential of the domestic film market, how could he not make corresponding changes to it?
At least in the playbook that Chu Qiu got, the character card was completely different from the Asian scene in the second part of the “A” series he remembered.
It should be said that the only thing in common is that the slave escapes and encounters the protagonist.
In the original “A” series, the Asian actor’s role was the Colosseum at the beginning and after encountering the escape and encountering the protagonist, he explained the system and history of the planet and became friends with the protagonist. They experienced two together. After the accident, he was caught back and executed to arouse conflicts between the protagonist and the natives of this planet.
The M country film emphasizes that human rights and freedom are the correct governance. Moreover, the popcorn commercial film is cool enough. Therefore, although this series of films is sometimes criticized in China for infringing on the politics and sovereignty of other countries. A commercial film that is forgotten after watching it, has not been taken too seriously.
But now, the character cards and scripts in Chu Qiu’s hands have completely changed.
Judging from the character cards and scripts that Chu Qiu took in his hands, the characters have been deepened a lot, the background has also been refined, and the subsequent reveals are also full of appeal.
To get rid of his impression of the previous life series, this almost completely changed the main line of the story in his impression, and went straight to another direction.
Although he knows that Hollywood directors are always used to digging a hole for the second film when making the first movie and ready to make a series, but based on the book in his hand, this hole is really a bit big.
Are all directly related to the main line of the series!
Can this be moved at will!
Even if it is clear that this kind of film series without the original work usually begins to prepare for the screenwriter after deciding to make a sequel, Chu Qiu, who has already conceived a character model from the memory of his previous life, still feels a little disturbed.
Rebuilding a character is a consuming task, especially when you overthrow all the characters that have been built and forget to do it again.
Chu Qiu always needs to find a lot of references and materials, and build characters with scripts and character cards as the center.
In the past few days, Chu Qiu has been habitually squatting in a small corner every day, holding his mobile phone and notebook, watching the collected materials, while holding a pen and notebook to record key words.
A small person with a major mission, unwilling to succumb to fate, and constantly struggling to climb forward.
Chu Qiu, a character positioned in this way, has played, but the interpretation method in Asia is still quite different from that in Hollywood, and Chu Qiu has to make a lot of detailed changes.
Mr. Qi discovered that when he stopped the car and ran to the program group or the event venue, he often saw the staff all looking for Chu Qiu.
But Chu Qiu actually squatted behind a certain shelter, sitting or squatting, clumped together, and his sense of existence was almost zero.
Qi Tianrui had to rush out Chu Qiu out of various cramped small corners time and time again, so as not to delay his work.
Fortunately, the requirements for the trial shots were not as high as in the official filming. Before “Wen Hao” officially entered the big publicity, Chu Qiu took the shots and sent them to the director on the other side of the ocean.
For “Wen Hao”, the TV premiere rights were sold to North and South Satellite TV for a price of 4.5 million yuan per episode. The exclusive network broadcast rights were once again bought by the wealthy Lizi platform for a price of 9 million yuan per episode, which ended completely. This is a money fight.
The TV director laughed so hard because of the price. Although the network broadcast was taken down, the exclusive broadcast could not be sold to continue the second round of broadcast rights. The sale of the network exclusive broadcast will also affect the second round of TV broadcasts. The price is high, but it can’t hold up the high price of exclusive broadcast and first broadcast rights!
With a total of 36 episodes, the first broadcast rights of TV alone have already returned to the initial investment!
The money for the sole broadcast rights on the Internet, after eliminating the cost of post-propaganda, the rest is basically pure profit!
Although the price of the subsequent second and third rounds of broadcasting rights will be reduced to a certain extent, no matter how small mosquito legs are, they are still meat!
Director Wei cracked his heart and settled the account, almost smiling a flower on his face.
Compared to Chu Qiu, who doesn’t care much about the outside world, Director Wei, as a director, doesn’t care about eating melons and watching dramas on weekdays, but when he has a drama in his hand, he naturally has to have a clear grasp of the wind direction of the outside world.
He certainly didn’t know that the price this time had something to do with the outside world’s speculation about Chu Qiu’s future direction.
As an actor who has been hotly discussed recently, he won the international film award without saying a word while taking over two TV series.
And he, as the first screen work to appear in front of the audience, is a movie except for the public service advertisement.
In addition, the news of a sequel to the “A” series has recently arrived, and Chu Qiu has clearly stated in the program that there is an oral appointment to audition, so the outside world has reason to believe that after Chu Qiu has enough enthusiasm, Choosing to abandon TV series and completely transform into movie cafes.
The young man’s starting point was too high and he went too fast.
The public expects him to make more and better results, and with their sustenance and ambitions, they will continue to move forward in great strides.
And the media, more eagerly than the public, hope that he will achieve results-it would be great to make some big news if you do not achieve results.
Now that there is no big news, they have chosen to draw a blueprint for Chu Qiu without authorization, such as a complete transformation of a movie cafe, such as participating in the second part of “A”, or blowing the results of “Writing Master”.
If you want to blow it, you will naturally blow it up. These media don’t care if people can achieve this result. Anyway, the heat is up and the performance is reached. Who cares about the life and death of the master?
Regarding this kind of brainless rhythm, the public relations team and the media have a silent tacit understanding, and they will not care. After all, no one will think that they are too hot.
“Wen Hao” took advantage of this shareholder trend and sold a good price.
This price is fortunate, and where it comes from, the guards and directors are naturally clear.
After that, Chu Qiu was still the main force of propaganda.
Those outside speculations about Chu Qiu’s transformation are not unreasonable. TV dramas make less money and time-consuming after all. Although they can brush up their nationality, TV dramas are more important to the world’s film and television circles today. The movie is lower.
Chu Qiu, a person who is already qualified to go to the international stage, is not difficult to guess the direction of only filming in the future.
Although intellectually thinks this is taken for granted, emotionally, the director of the guard still feels more or less a pity.
He simply pulled Chu Qiu backstage at the beginning of the first wave of publicity and asked him, “Xiao Qiu, have you taken the path of movies in the future?”
Chu Qiu was taken aback, shook his head, and said, “Look at the notebook.”
The purpose of his acting is enthusiasm and work on the one hand, and giving back to fans on the other.
For fans who really like him, how can only movies be enough?
There are no TV shows in movies, not to mention that Chu Qiu is not the kind of person who particularly likes shows.
In the past two years, he has produced many shows to enhance and consolidate his popularity. After the filming of “Wen Hao”, Chu Qiu’s program announcements were significantly reduced, and now the large-scale broadcast on TV and the Internet is the inventory that Chu Qiu recorded some time ago.
It is foreseeable that the frequency of Chu Qiu’s appearance in front of the audience will plummet after the end of the promotion and broadcast of “Wen Hao” and before the release of his new work.
As for how to maintain the enthusiasm during this period, it depends on the arrangement of the Chu Qiu team.
When the guard heard that Chu Qiu said that he should not choose the type and only look at the notebook, he was relieved, and at the same time, he felt that it was inappropriate for him to do so.
The young people have a bright future now, so why do you grind their youthful lives on TV dramas?
The director wanted to say something, but he didn’t know where to say it.
Indeed, as some media said, this young man walked too fast, so fast that they, who have been struggling in the industry for more than ten or twenty years, can only see his back.
The Guardian thought about Chu Qiu’s age and his achievements, and compared himself with him, only feeling sad for a while.
He wanted to say something for a while, and wanted to say something as a person who came by, just like when he first met Chu Qiu, but he felt that he didn’t seem to be qualified anymore.
“Make more movies.” He just said in the end, then patted Chu Qiu on the shoulder, stood up and left the dressing room.
When the guard pushed the door, Qi Tianrui happened to push in.
Director Wei was taken aback, watching Qi Tianrui step back and letting the door open, then he sighed suddenly.
“The young people nowadays are really amazing.” He said, walking out the door slowly.
After Qi Tianrui walked in the door and sat beside Chu Qiu, “What’s the matter with the Guardian? The sudden middle-aged crisis?”
“Yes.” Chu Qiu replied, “he asked me to make more movies.”
“Oh…” Qi Tianrui seemed to understand something, but didn’t say much.
The big waves are scouring the sand, and the change of times is an unstoppable wave.
In the few years when the upcoming international door was officially opened to Chinese-language film and television, the naked competition and the fight for strength in the circle were even more cruel.
The audience is willing to pay for a good work. Once someone pays, the crew will become less and less controlled by capital interference. In addition to capital interference, the ability to create the individual is particularly important.
The creators who are not enough to get the support of the audience have to bow their heads to the capital. Even with the support of big investment and market flow, the creators who have interfered with self-creation are constrained. The audience is not blind. Who will go with a good film? Endure bad movies?
Investors are not even stupid. These are the people who are most sensitive to money. Gradually, those teams that were not enough to prompt the audience to pull out their wallets left the circle sadly.
Someone once referred to those years as “the harshest winter before the dawn”, during which countless practitioners who were incapable or just unlucky were eliminated. They are like gravel abandoned by time, and the waves of the times are rough. In the past, it disappeared silently.
If the Guardian did not have the consciousness of fighting hard in the coming winter, he would also become one of those gravels.
“Don’t talk about that.” Qi Tianrui sat opposite Chu Qiu with a smile, with his right hand hidden behind his back, “Good news, guess.”
“Huh?” Chu Qiu was dumbfounded.
Qi Tianrui stretched out his left hand and rubbed Chu Qiu’s head, “Guess what.”
Chu Qiu thought for a while, and asked, “Is the time for “Wen Hao” fixed?”
“Slightly better than this.” Qi Tianrui said.
Chu Qiu thought for two more seconds: “Did the stars win the prize?”
Qi Tianrui shook his head: “He just finished.”
“Uh…” Chu Qiu frowned slightly, somewhat distressed.
“Forget it.” Qi Tianrui sighed, and with his right hand behind his back took out a stack of A4 papers, with some clauses densely written on it, “Qiangqiangqiang! The first draft of the “A2″ contract!”
“Congratulations to our autumn! The audition passed!”
The author has something to say: Zhou Yixing: This milk! I accepted it!
