Looking at the TV industry bigwigs in the group flattering each other in various ways, Lu Hao felt nothing inside and even wanted to laugh.
However, to be honest, this Spring Festival Gala of Qiongdao TV was indeed like a tornado, expanding its influence from the film industry to the television industry.
As a director, it is ultimately his works that speak for him.
Your work is your best business card.
Thinking about this, Lu Hao sent a big red envelope to the group, and also included a message: "Hey everyone, DreamWorks should be releasing several TV series this year. If anyone is interested in the series, could you please add me?"
What's there to talk about?
Instead of just hanging out in the group, it is better to take the opportunity to develop business cooperation.
Currently, DreamWorks’ TV drama department has been established, but it is still an empty shell and various resources have not yet been injected. It is also good to contact channels in advance.
"@Lu Hao, boss, boss, someone here has raised their hand, look at me, look at me, look at me."
Zhao Lanzhi was the first to speak.
A woman in her forties was trying so hard to be cute that Lu Hao was also drunk.
However, this might be the future Party A's father, so Lu Hao immediately replied with a smile: "Please ask Sister Zhao to take me flying, I really don't want to work hard anymore!"
After seeing Lu Hao's message, the atmosphere in the group suddenly became more lively, and everyone formed a formation.
No one would think that Lu Hao really wanted to live off his wife. Instead, they admired him for being humble, young, promising and down-to-earth.
A few minutes later.
Lu Hao’s friend list now includes contacts from more than ten TV stations.
Although they may not be the ones who can make the final decisions, they at least have a certain say.
After adding everyone one by one and saying hello, Lu Hao created another small group.
Large groups are just posting nonsense, while small groups are discussing serious matters.
Knowing that this was the time to discuss serious matters, after joining the group, everyone began to change their group name cards to the format of "TV station plus their own name".
Lu Hao and his DreamWorks are now definitely a shining golden signboard. Every film they produce is a masterpiece, and even the organization of a Spring Festival Gala is breathtaking.
Now that DreamWorks is interested in entering the TV drama field, everyone’s willingness to cooperate is still very strong.
"Director Lu, does DreamWorks have any new TV series coming out recently?"
A message was sent by someone with the nickname [Wang Yi of Dragon TV].
[Xu Jiaqiao from Pengcheng TV]: "If you have a brief introduction to your work, please send it."
Mango TV's Zhao Lanzhi: "Our station specializes in period romances and urban idol dramas. I wonder what kind of new dramas will be?"
[CCTV Zhang Ye]: "You guys chat about yourselves, I'm just here to make some friends and see if there are any red envelopes to grab. @Lu Hao, if you send a big red envelope, I'll get you some nice pictures to liven things up."
Lu Hao: ...
"Brother Zhang, please be a human being and stop making trouble!"
This guy seems shameless, but from the large group just now, it can be seen that he is very popular in the circle. He should be the kind of person who is humorous and likes to make jokes.
There was not much time for him to meet again, and Lu Hao was editing the message.
"We are currently preparing to launch three TV series. The first one is an urban romance drama, "Imperial Capital Love Story," which is an urban love ensemble drama. The second one is about the Anti-Japanese War, "Bright Sword," which tells the legend of a generation of veteran soldiers. The third one is a historical parody, "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan." The scripts are all being released."
With DreamWorks' current level, it is fully capable of filming three TV series simultaneously in terms of both funding and manpower.
These three themes were also carefully selected by Lu Hao. They are all very representative works in their respective fields and are very classic IPs on the earth.
The love story of the imperial capital, after the TV series is released, it can be adapted into a movie.
"Bright Sword", a national masterpiece, has topped the annual TV drama rankings for several consecutive years.
The Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan has been a hit since the first part, and the subsequent sequels are also very popular.
When they saw the message sent by Lu Hao, group messages suddenly popped up one after another.
…
"Anti-Japanese drama?"
"Many viewers are now tired of anti-Japanese dramas. The ratings for anti-Japanese dramas released this year are terrible."
"It has never been Director Lu's style to follow the trend of popular themes. He is a pioneer, and others have always followed his lead."
"There's still a huge market for TV dramas about the war of resistance, but many directors these days aren't very talented, and there are all sorts of shocking scenes. As long as the script is good, the ratings won't be bad."
"'Bright Sword'? I like this name."
…
…
"A parody of historical themes? This is interesting. This is the first time I've heard of it, but I immediately thought of the exciting part."
"Please give me some scientific advice."
"History parody is unofficial history, after all. Gossip about ancient celebrities has always had a broad mass audience base. Ji Xiaolan, Heshen, and Qianlong all lived in the same era. As the three golden male protagonists, I feel like there's a lot of room for them to flourish."
After seeing this news, Lu Hao was also surprised at this person's professionalism. He could think of so much just from a subject and a title. It was really amazing.
I silently remembered this person's name, Wang Yi from Dragon TV.
There are slight differences in the styles between different TV stations.
For example, CCTV has always been the world of traditional dramas, coastal areas mostly produce business wars and urban romance films, the Northeast region is rich in comedies, and the Northwest Film and Television Production Center has produced many large-scale dramas with strong historical elements.
The right subject matter should be broadcast on the right TV station.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the money is in place.
…
…
"'Imperial Capital Love Story', a portrait of an urban love ensemble? A love drama with an ensemble is difficult to shoot. Can you tell me more about it?"
"Director Lu has never filmed an urban romance drama before, right?"
"Is it a drama or a unit drama? The title feels like a unit drama. If it is a unit drama, group portrait would be very appropriate."
"We have booked this drama on Mango TV. Boss, please give me some face."
…
A group of people were chatting.
The three TV series have different themes, which shows DreamWorks' ambition. It is not just a small-scale venture, but a formal entry.
Releasing three TV series at the same time, this kind of achievement can definitely be called a first-tier giant.
Watching everyone chatting, Lu Hao picked out important questions to answer, and solved doubts for Party A, creating a harmonious atmosphere in the group.
In fact, in a sense, the requirements for film and television companies for TV series are much higher than those for movies.
Movies are director-centered. First, you have an inspiration, a story, and write a script. Then you start looking for money, finding people, and shooting the film.
For TV dramas, most of the time the TV station has the demand first, announces the demand, the producer looks for the director, customizes the script, finds actors, and then shoots.
In the former case, there is still room for grassroots directors to rise.
The latter has long been the preserve of in-game players, and ordinary people simply cannot afford to play it. Even if they take a photo of it, they may not be able to sell it.
