Chapter 288 The Hoe Dances Well, and Even the Midday Sun Can Dig It Down

Revenge dramas like "The Temptation to Go Home" are very popular if they are well made.

The plot is satisfying, but the most important thing is that other dramas are too bad.

It's always about the evil mother-in-law and the virgin daughter-in-law. The male and female protagonists are good people who are framed and made difficult by various means. They suffer countless hardships. In the end, they rely on the virgin halo to survive to the end, and then the bad guys get good rewards and everyone has a happy reunion.

It doesn't matter whether this kind of plot is correct or not. The key is that there are too many of them, and everyone is tired of this routine.

At this time, it feels particularly good to have a revenge for revenge and fight violence with violence.

It's like the anti-routine text of online literature. When everyone is tired of the conventional routine, an anti-routine or a spit-out text comes to relieve everyone's grievances, and it will naturally be sought after.

However, this drama is not without its flaws.

The original version of this drama is even called a thunder drama because some plots are too shocking to the three views, and some plots are too outrageous and seriously watered.

This is also normal. After all, the original version was adapted by Jian Yuanxin, the godfather of thunder dramas. Thunder + water + dog blood are his three magic weapons.

However, Blue Whale still needs word of mouth, so there will be some rectification and refinement in the plot.

It is hard to say whether the ratings will be affected. After all, the ratings of the original version are nearly 3.5, and some middle-aged and elderly women who like bloody eight o'clock dramas have made great contributions.

However, the selling points are similar after all, and the core revenge of the plot will be firmly grasped, and even optimized to a certain extent, which can further harvest other audiences.

So even if it can't reach the results of the original version, it won't be too bad, and the reputation will also be improved.

Wei Yang doesn't really attach much importance to this project, and the main price may not be too high.

After all, compared with other Blue Whale projects, Wei Yang's name and signboard are the same conditions, and although "The Temptation of Going Home" has a good prospect, the lineup and cost cannot be pulled up, and the platform will not offer a particularly high price.

As I said before, no one has the eyes of God. The platform buys the drama to evaluate the comprehensive external performance, and the actual prospects can only be roughly estimated, and it is often not accurate.

So sometimes buying a drama is like gambling on stones. According to the various details on the surface, gambling on stones is flowers, windows, windows, etc., and TV dramas are the main creative lineup, scripts, themes, etc.

Finally, a price that both parties agree on is selected, a deal is reached, and broadcasting is like cutting stones.

After a cut, if the TV series becomes popular and the profit exceeds the cost, it means that the bet has increased. If it is a low-cost purchase of the drama, and then it is broadcast and becomes a big hit, it is equivalent to spending a small amount of money to open the imperial green.

There are gains and losses in gambling on stones, and the same is true for buying dramas.

Blue Whale claims that its products must be high-quality, and it has not yet smashed its brand, so the lower limit price is extremely high, but not every drama of Blue Whale is a big hit. Some dramas may make money, but the profit margin is limited.

So Blue Whale and the platform are partners, but also gamers.

Blue Whale can basically guarantee no loss, but making money depends on fate, so the platform wants to make as much money as possible, and Blue Whale also has to strive for its own interests, for fear of selling at a loss.

Projects like "Celebrating Yu Nian" are expensive, but the returns are rich, and everyone is rushing to buy them.

Some even want to lose money for other purposes!

But for projects like "The Temptation of Going Home", there is definitely a chance to succeed with the endorsement of Blue Whale, but no one knows the results before it is broadcast, so they are more cautious.

It is impossible for the platform to offer a high price for no reason. If the profit is limited, even if there is no loss, it is unbearable to work in vain.

So he would think about Tang Yan, after all, she is more famous and can raise the price. The original Qiu Xiuyan is also good, but her fame and commercial value are much inferior.

In fact, Wei Yang also thought that for such a "dark horse" project, he could try a gambling agreement and ask for a price according to the performance standard line.

But then he thought about it and let it go, because he did not believe in the integrity of the platform. Maybe these people changed the data to pay less money. There are such operations in the industry.

And he was worried that if this gambling agreement was played too much, the platform would bind this agreement to all Blue Whale projects.

Wei Yang did not deny that this gambling agreement is sometimes a win-win situation, but the platform has more benefits.

Blue Whale has no shortage of buyers, and most of them are satisfied with the price. It is obvious that they directly exchange money and goods, which is more worry-free and straightforward to make money. They are too bored to set KPIs for themselves.

After all, dark horse projects are few in number. As a mature businessman, Wei Yang looks at the overall situation and long-term development.

There is no need to worry about making less money from one or two projects. Besides, the platform has tasted the sweetness and has the advertising effect, and is more fond of Blue Whale's projects. It is not impossible to make money from other projects.

Wei Yang pondered for a while and had a general idea about "The Temptation to Go Home".

Ask Tang Yan later. If she is interested, she will be on the show. If she is not interested, Qiu Cixuan or other actors will be used.

The second female role is simple. There are still many mainland actresses who can perform coquettish and vicious roles. There is no need to find another Hong Kong actor, otherwise he will fail in Mandarin and cannot communicate during filming. He is afraid that Li Jiahang will be autistic...

...

The project of "The Temptation to Go Home" has been approved, and the official filming will not be until after "Celebrating Yu Nian". It is not ruled out that it will start during this period.

"Celebrating More Than Years" filmed two seasons in one go, totaling 80 episodes, and the cumulative filming time is at least half a year, and seven or eight months is not impossible.

With such a long period, it is impossible for all the actors to stay in the crew.

Especially for those supporting roles, who have limited roles and are not paid much, it is impossible for them to spend half a year with you in one go.

It is not realistic to shoot in a centralized way. Except for a few big names, other people have to follow the shooting schedule of the leading actors, and it is impossible to accommodate the schedule of the supporting actors blindly.

Therefore, "Celebrating More Than Years" is likely to have a collective "overlapping" situation.

That is, they will first join the group to shoot for a month, and then there will be no more scenes, so they will leave the group for two months, busy with other scenes or work, and then join the group to shoot for a month, repeating the cycle, dividing the scenes into 2~3 times, and coordinating the shooting.

In this way, the schedule of "Celebrating More Than Years" is better coordinated, and some actors and artists with fewer scenes do not have to waste time on the crew.

Of course, doing so is definitely unprofessional, but there is no way. After all, everyone has to consider reality, one person has to support the family, and the crew must also be managed humanely.

Li Jiahang has limited scenes and is relatively loose, so he will definitely follow this path.

So, if the early preparations go smoothly, "Celebrating More Than Years" may still be shooting, and "Temptation to Go Home" has already started.

In addition to "Temptation to Go Home", Blue Whale has also started several dramas this year.

Zhao has finished filming "The Imperial Coroner" and has filmed three sweet girls. The company intends to let her expand to a certain extent, and she cannot be completely tied to the sweet girl route.

As the future number one sister of the company, Blue Whale has invested a lot in her. It invested tens of millions to shoot a 56-episode large-scale costume drama "The Stars and the Canlan", in which she played the heroine Cheng Shaoshang.

The original time and space of the drama "The Stars and the Canlan" was starred by Zhao Lusi. Although it cannot be said to be a big hit, it can be regarded as a hot drama of the year, with good reputation and influence.

Zhao and Zhao Lusi are on the same path. They are both sweet girls, but one is a cute and cute girl, and the other is a silly and funny girl.

"The Stars and the Canlan" has good results, the character setting is likable, and the performance is not difficult. Zhao Lusi can take this youth version, not to mention Zhao herself.

And judging from Zhao's development in her previous life, she has been a sweet girl in the early stage, and she is more motivated in the middle exploration period. In the later period, she is a sweet girl who becomes a queen, and she prefers the kind of heroine who is decisive, smart and capable.

Wei Yang, who is familiar with Zhao's personality, can easily understand why she would shoot such a drama.

The heroine of "The Stars Are Brilliant" is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, which is also an attempt by Zhao. The sweet girl style is just to gather popularity and become famous, but she still needs to transform later.

In addition to Zhao, Na Zha and Rou Ba also have a female lead drama, both of which are modern idol dramas.

The former has a higher cost and is adapted from the IP of a well-known author. The male lead is Qiao Zhenyu, who became popular after "Startling by Each Step".

The latter has a lower cost and is considered an original script of the Blue Whale Screenwriter Studio. The cast is not particularly good, but it is Rou Ba's first female lead drama.

In addition to company resources, she has also strived for a lot of film contracts outside, such as Na Zha to participate in "The Desert Ballad", Rou Ba also won a second female role in a movie, and also has a considerable role in "Celebrating More Than Years".

Zhao did not take any dramas outside, but she served as the executive producer of "The Imperial Coroner" and "The Stars Are Brilliant", and participated in a lot of behind-the-scenes work.

In addition to the above dramas, Blue Whale also won the adaptation rights of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and is preparing to develop it after "Joy of Life".

At the same time, Blue Whale is about to announce a strategic cooperation with Noon Sunshine, and the two sides will jointly launch a number of works.

These include "Parents' Love", "No War in Peking", "War in Changsha" and many other mainstream film and television works.

These projects are said to be projects of Noon Sunshine, but in fact they are still the foundation of Shanying.

At present, Kong Sheng and his team have not officially become independent. This batch of projects is also the last wave of efforts. After these dramas are finished, they will be Noon Sunshine's own signature.

Several projects are serious dramas. They look inconspicuous, but the investment is not low at all.

Period dramas like "Parents' Love" are okay, but war dramas like "War in Changsha" cost tens of millions of yuan.

Shanying has money, and CCTV, one of its partners, is also a big player, but it can't support such a project.

Not to mention that this kind of serious drama makes little money and has an uncertain future. Normal people will not bet all their funds on it.

So in the previous life, Shanying found several private companies to share the pressure. For example, one of the producers of "Parents' Love" was New Classics Media, and "No War in Peking" was jointly participated by several Beijing companies.

Wei Yang knew the strength of these dramas, but one company could not take on so many, so he only occupied a certain share.

The reason for the high degree of cooperation with Noon Sunshine is that making money and inviting names are only one aspect, and actively participating in the development of main theme themes is also a good amulet.

Before "Celebrating Yu Nian" was in danger, Wei Yang thought about it, but later felt that the effect of his own shooting might not be good, so it is better to cooperate directly with Noon Sunshine.

In addition, Wei Yang's cooperation this time is also "hidden evil intentions".

He actually proposed to acquire or invest in Noon Sunshine many times, but the founders of the company were determined to start their own businesses and only wanted to cooperate, and did not want to bring him in.

But looking at such a big piece of fat, it is too cruel to ask Wei Yang to bear it.

So this time, he rarely proposed to send the Blue Whale production team to participate in the cooperation between the two parties.

On the one hand, it is for learning and training. After all, the people of Noon Sunshine are the ceiling of TV drama production in the industry. On the other hand, there is also the intention of poaching people secretly.

At present, Noon Sunshine mainly focuses on serious dramas, which are not commercial in nature and make limited money. The treatment is definitely not as good as that of Blue Whale, which makes a lot of money and has a generous boss.

The treatment of the staff of the two teams is not to say that it is heaven and earth, but there is a big gap.

They do the same work, and some of the backbones and core members are even better than Blue Whale employees, but their salaries are far lower than theirs. They are all workers, but Boss Wei doesn't believe that the people of Noon Sunshine have no ideas.

In Wei Yang's view, many commercial dramas of Noon Sunshine are adapted, so the most valuable is not the creative team, but the core and backbone of the production team.

Blue Whale is not short of creativity, and it can be adapted if it doesn't work, so he values ​​the production team of Noon Sunshine the most.

If a large number of backbones of Noon Sunshine can be poached, combined with Blue Whale's own good production team, Wei Yang just wants to shout.

"Who else!!!"

Of course, it is a bit unethical to do so, but poaching in the entertainment industry is too common. Blue Whale has poached many people before, and many people have poached people from Blue Whale.

Except for Tangren, because Lao Cai has done a favor to Wei Yang, he has not been ruthless, but he has no such concerns for other companies.

People go to higher places, good birds choose trees to rest, but good babies can't make big money.

If Noon Sunshine is willing to sacrifice Daben, Wei Yang supports the other party to dig back...
