Chapter 244 Director Su is online: filming a TV series for fun
“This is a TV show.”
After watching for a while, Tang Qing raised her head and looked at Su Yang with wide eyes.
"Well, how do you feel?"
Su Yang smiled faintly, appearing quite indifferent. Tang Qing swallowed her saliva. Although she had already witnessed Su Yang's talent, she still couldn't help but be surprised every time Su Yang showed off something new.
Although he didn't understand TV dramas, he could still understand the lines in the script. Moreover, Su Yang's script was written in great detail, so even a layman could have a picture in his mind when reading it.
“Is the investment large?”
Tang Qing asked directly.
"Not much. It's just a sitcom. To put it bluntly, it's similar to shooting an internet meme. You can think of it as a longer internet meme."
Su Yang smiled and said, after all, technology has advanced now. Mobile phones can shoot 4K video. If Su Yang is willing, he can shoot this TV series with a makeshift team and a mobile phone.
"Then shoot..."
Tang Qing made the decision immediately. What's there to be afraid of if the investment is not big? Even if they lose money, so what? Anyway, "Su Yang Show" is making Qingyao Media a lot of money, so there is still money.
"Okay, I'll go through the script carefully over the next few days. As for the actors, I think Mengmeng will also play the female lead, and the second male lead will go to Shumo, but the male lead still needs to be screened. Gu Kai can play this role, and the second female lead Tianyi can..."
Su Yang smiled and said, "Try to use your own people. When good things happen, think of your own people first."
"Okay, you decide on the production. If there's an artist in the industry you're interested in, tell me and I'll invite him..."
Tang Qing patted her chest and said that she was only responsible for the management of the company. Su Yang was responsible for the company's production. The two of them had a clear division of labor and each performed their duties.
"OK……"
After saying that, Su Yang stood up, and the two of them left the company directly to have lunch.
"Husband, you're back"
In the afternoon, Su Yang returned home at around five o'clock. Qin Shuyao, who was watching TV series in the house, stood up and smiled when she saw Su Yang coming back.
"Brother-in-law..."
Qin Shumo also greeted Su Yang. Now Qin Shumo is also very busy every day. Qin Shuyao hired a teacher for Qin Shumo, and he needs to go to class every day to learn acting-related courses.
Qin Shumo didn't attend a proper arts university, but he currently enjoys more extensive and superior educational resources than students at the Beijing Film Academy or the Central Academy of Drama. The teachers Qin Shuyao hired for him were all highly regarded in the industry. The annual tuition for these teachers' classes was hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of yuan, making it unaffordable for children from ordinary families.
Of course, what these teachers teach is also very useful knowledge. As long as you study hard, you can still learn a lot.
"Oh, by the way, Shumo, here's a script. Take a look at it. Remember to memorize your lines."
Su Yang took out the printed script from his handbag and handed it to Qin Shumo. Looking at the scripts, Qin Shumo and Qin Shuyao were both curious.
"Script husband, is the company going to shoot a TV series?"
Qin Shuyao couldn't help but ask.
"Well, I had nothing to do these past two days, so I wrote a script. It's a small investment anyway, so I'll just test the waters. We at Qingyao Media can't just rely on variety shows."
Su Yang said with a smile.
"Let me take a look at the script you wrote..."
Qin Shuyao was very curious and took the script and started to read it. Although Qin Shumo was also curious, he did not dare to snatch the script from Qin Shuyao.
Qin Shuyao was no stranger to reading scripts. After all, she had participated in a serious TV series. The ratings of "Ru Meng Ling" when it was first broadcast on Yanjing TV were quite good.
Since becoming pregnant, Qin Shuyao has also been learning about acting. She also has her own plans for the future. When her child is born and grows up, she might become an actor herself.
Su Yang smiled slightly and didn't ask any more questions. Qin Shuyao returned to the sofa and began to read the script seriously.
Soon, Qin Shuyao showed a surprised expression on her face. This script was really too funny. Some scenes appeared in Qin Shuyao's mind, and she had finished reading the script of the first episode unknowingly.
After reading it, Qin Shuyao did not continue reading, but turned her head to look at Qin Shumo who was playing with his mobile phone next to her.
"Shumo, here's the script. Remember to study it carefully."
Qin Shuyao was very happy. Her husband wrote the script and let her brother play the second male lead. This was a kind of family happiness for Qin Shuyao. Although Qin Shuyao sometimes felt disappointed with Qin Shumo, she still cared about and loved her brother the most.
"oh……"
Qin Shumo nodded, picked up the script and walked towards his room.
"Husband, who are you going to ask to film this TV series?"
Qin Shuyao came to the kitchen and couldn't help asking when she saw Su Yang busy.
"As for me, hehe, how about your husband becoming Director Su in the future..."
Su Yang teased, which made Qin Shuyao laugh.
"Director Su, please reserve a role for me someday."
Qin Shuyao looked at Su Yang and said.
"Ahem, okay, then how about we go to the room tonight and discuss the script?"
Qin Shuyao rolled her eyes at Su Yang. But remembering how hard Su Yang had been working, she came over to him and whispered a few words in his ear. Su Yang's eyes lit up, and he looked at her expectantly, a look that made her blush.
"This is a reward for you, husband. Thank you."
Qin Shuyao said softly.
"Oh, what do you say thank you to a husband and wife?"
Su Yang reached out and pinched Qin Shuyao's nose, and Qin Shuyao frowned playfully.
"Okay, you can go out first. Dinner will be ready soon..."
Su Yang's words made Qin Shuyao nod. The happiness in life is the occasional little warmth.
After the family had a happy dinner, Su Yang and Qin Shuyao returned to their bedroom to rest. After returning to the bedroom, Su Yang excitedly went to take a shower.
After washing, Su Yang returned to the bedroom. Looking at Su Yang's appearance, Qin Shuyao blushed.
"Wife, let's forget it. You've worked too hard..."
Su Yang couldn't help but say.
"No, I'll keep my word. Besides, you've been here for so long, I'm afraid you can't hold it in anymore and are hooking up with other girls out there..."
Qin Shuyao whispered in Su Yang's ear, then pushed Su Yang down on the bed, while she backed away little by little.
"hiss……"
Su Yang took a quick breath of cool air, and the room was soon filled with the beauty of spring.
After an unknown amount of time, the different kind of battle ended. Qin Shuyao covered her mouth and quickly ran to the bathroom. She came out of the bathroom after a while.
Su Yang looked at Qin Shuyao's silly smile, which made Qin Shuyao blush. She came to lie down beside Su Yang and stretched out her hand to twist Su Yang's waist.
“It hurts, it hurts…”
Su Yang shouted quickly.
"Hmph, be good from now on. Otherwise I'll bite you to death..."
Qin Shuyao said directly. Qingyao Media has many beautiful female employees. Although Qin Shuyao is very confident in Su Yang, she is also a little worried after a long time. After all, her husband is too charming.
"Should we bite them together or separately?"
Su Yang said this in a mischievous tone, which made Qin Shuyao confused. She didn't know what Su Yang meant.
"Hey, it's just solving a word puzzle."
Su Yang looked at Qin Shuyao with lustful eyes. After hearing Su Yang's explanation, Qin Shuyao was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted. Then she reached out and twisted the flesh around Su Yang's waist again.
"What do you think? Should we keep it together or keep it apart? Honey, you're getting more and more capable. Tell me, who did you learn this from?"
Qin Shuyao said in a pretended vicious tone.
"Is it not possible to be self-taught?"
Su Yang quickly retorted.
The two people in the room started playing and joking around. Such playfulness brought the two people closer together. After playing for a while, Qin Shuyao lay in Su Yang's arms, enjoying the sense of security that Su Yang brought to her.
Tonight, Qin Shuyao made a breakthrough attempt.
The reason for this is that, on the one hand, Qin Shuyao felt that Su Yang was having a hard time. After all, since she became pregnant, Su Yang had returned to single life for the sake of the baby. At this age, especially after experiencing it, it is very uncomfortable to hold it in.
On the other hand, Qin Shuyao actually felt a little uneasy. After all, Su Yang was becoming more and more outstanding, while she was getting older.
There are too many examples of people getting tired of the old and loving the new. Marriages in the entertainment industry are fragile. Seeing this kind of thing too often often makes people lose their longing for love.
This mentality also made Qin Shuyao want to make herself better, after all, there was such a big age gap between her and Su Yang.
Looking at Qin Shuyao in his arms, Su Yang knew what Qin Shuyao was thinking. So he hugged Qin Shuyao gently, wanting to give her all his tenderness.
The days became busy again. In the next few days, Su Yang was busy with "Su Yang Show" while also busy organizing the script for the TV series.
It only took Su Yang a few days to completely organize the script for the entire TV series.
After everything was sorted out, the project was officially launched. Su Yang was appointed as the screenwriter and director. Tang Qing had originally wanted him to play the male lead, but Su Yang felt he was not suitable for the role.
This TV series is the first TV series of Qingyao Media and also the first TV series of Su Yang. Although it is just a sitcom, it is also a new attempt for Su Yang.
However, Su Yang is not too anxious about this TV series. For Su Yang, he still needs to keep "Su Yang Show" stable, after all, "Su Yang Show" is related to his big plan to gain popularity.
While "Suyang Show" is a hit, other TV stations and streaming media are also busy producing talk shows. Meanwhile, their programs are being promoted vigorously during this period.
With so many talk shows, the audience is also looking forward to it. After all, "Su Yang Show" is so fun, and everyone is looking forward to more excellent programs coming out, so that everyone will have more good-looking programs coming out.
Penguin Video, one of the three largest video platforms in China, boasts significant financial resources and capabilities. Following the success of the first episode of "Su Yang Show," Penguin Video's independent production department immediately launched its own talk show project.
When it comes to imitation, Penguin is a professional. Its imitation capabilities are undeniably top-tier. The title of "copycat empire" isn't earned for nothing, but Penguin isn't at all ashamed of it.
Why innovate when copycats can make money?
Copying other people's paths and leaving them with no way to go is the philosophy that Penguin has always adhered to.
So even when it comes to "Su Yang Show," Penguin boldly imitates it. Others are afraid of Su Yang, but Penguin isn't too afraid. It's not that Penguin doesn't have negative news, but rather that it has too much. Too many lice don't itch, and too many debts don't worry. When there's too much negative news, people stop taking it seriously.
"Lu Fei Show" is a new program created by Penguin Video. Lu Fei is a well-known Chinese host. His hosting style is sharp and funny, and he is quite popular. He was previously the main host of a certain TV station, but his show's ratings have declined in the past two years, and his fame is not as good as before.
This time the penguin found him and they hit it off immediately.
The Lu Fei Show was launched directly. The entire format of the Lu Fei Show was almost the same as that of the Su Yang Show. It was nothing more than a change of host and a few guests.
Even the style was modeled after Su Yangxiu. After a busy period, the first episode of "Lu Feixiu" was finally completed. The corporate video also began a large-scale promotion.
"The Lu Fei Show premieres Thursday. Lu Fei takes you into the world of talk shows..."
"Famous host Lu Fei has joined Penguin Video, and 'The Lu Fei Show' is ambitious..."
"Lu Fei Show" is bursting with laughter..."
"See you on 'Lu Fei Show' at 8pm on Thursday..."
Penguin's promotional efforts were very strong. Coupled with Lu Fei's already high profile, many viewers were looking forward to the show after it was revealed. However, "The Lu Fei Show" didn't boldly air on Fridays.
Instead, it is held at 8 o'clock on Thursday night to avoid competition with "Su Yang Show" and maximize profits.
Seeing such a large publicity, Su Yang and Tang Qing were also paying attention to this program. Although it was not broadcast in the same time slot, if "Lu Fei Show" was good, it would definitely steal a lot of the limelight from "Su Yang Show".
The most important thing is that if Lu Fei Show is successful, there will be more talk shows on other TV stations and platforms. By then, the entire market will definitely become more complex.
But this is the market, this is the entertainment market. A good idea often gets quickly stymied, because variety show copyrights are the most difficult to secure.
Especially talk shows like "Su Yang Show." Talk shows are a large genre, and you can't patent talk shows. The most you can do is apply for patents related to "Su Yang Show."
But these patents are useless. If someone changes the name or stage design, the patent is useless. As for the similarity in style, there is no way to determine the patent. What? They are all talking. Two people speaking in a similar style can also be considered a patent. Don't be ridiculous. So in the variety show industry, many times this kind of shameless imitation is simply unavoidable. In the face of such imitation, the only thing you can do is to make your own program better and let the copycat programs slowly be abandoned by the audience.
