Chapter 137 This is not over yet (1700 monthly tickets plus more rewards)
Yu Xiaoshu had no idea about the online drama "The Visitors from Out of the Blue", and he hadn't read the script either. This was handled by Wang Bao himself, and the screenwriter was Qiduo. It was said that this person didn't like others to interfere, so Wang Bao gave full authority over the script to Qiduo.
Yu Xiaoshu didn't ask about this.
Since it was Wang Bao's decision, he also expressed his support, just as Wang Bao supported him.
But for Yu Xiaoshu, what he believes in most is "Hard Candy".
Although he did not go to the crew of "Hard Candy" during this period, he still kept an eye on the filming situation. If Chen Fang was unsure about something, she would ask Yu Xiaoshu at any time.
Very high level of understanding.
Yu Xiaoshu believes that Chen Fang's understanding is much stronger than Zhang Yi and Jiang Bo, and Yu Xiaoshu and Chen Fang are quite suitable for filming web movies.
Online movies and online dramas are different. I remember someone asked why we couldn't make TV dramas the same way we make movies. At the time, someone said a proverb, saying that it was like "making dumplings to feed pigs."
The difference between online movies and online dramas is similar.
Zhang Yi and Jiang Bo are passable in making web dramas, but they are definitely not good enough for making web movies.
Originally, Yu Xiaoshu just wanted to let Chen Fang try out "Hard Candy". After all, he had a grasp of the general direction, and professional photographers were watching over other aspects.
As a result, Chen Fang really gave him a surprise.
If Chen Fang can continue to improve, then she will be able to act not only in online movies but also in movies.
But there's no rush.
First practice with a few online movies.
"Xiao Shu, you should pay more attention to "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" next. Also, how is your "Hard Candy" going?"
Wang Bao had not forgotten Yu Xiaoshu's online drama. He asked Yu Xiaoshu, "The script is actually OK, but you shouldn't have let Chen Fang practice. I always feel it's a bit of a waste. What if..."
"Uncle Wang, I was just about to tell you."
Yu Xiaoshu laughed and said, "Chen Fang has made great progress. I think she can be trained as a priority."
"Okay, if you think it's suitable, then focus on training him."
Wang Bao laughed: "This time, "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" can make our Baiqian Media's funds a little richer."
Now, Baiqian Media has become wealthy for the first time thanks to the funds raised from the two online dramas "The Undocumented Crime" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
For this reason, there is no need to worry about blind investment.
At first, Wang Bao thought that "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" would lose money, but who could have imagined that "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" not only did not lose money, but on the contrary made huge profits.
Well, as the first hero, Yu Xiaoshu can do whatever he wants.
"Okay, Uncle Wang, I'll leave first. I have an appointment."
Yu Xiaoshu stood up and said.
"Well, go ahead and get busy."
Wang Bao nodded slightly.
The person Yu Xiaoshu made an appointment with was Gu Tianqi.
The previous manuscript written by Gu Tianqi did not receive much response. This was because the promotion of "Female Official" was too concentrated, and this manuscript by Gu Tianqi was really drowned out by it.
"Why?? A little discouraged??"
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Gu Tianqi and said with some amusement.
"No, I haven't."
Gu Tianqi said a little embarrassedly: "Each of my previous articles had over 100,000 views, but this time, the number of views was not even 10,000. I was a little shocked for a while."
“How many times did you get a manuscript read when you were an intern editor?”
Yu Xiaoshu asked Gu Tianqi.
Gu Tianqi was even more embarrassed now: "Less than 1,000."
"Look, when your readership was less than 1,000, you didn't lose confidence and were even full of fighting spirit. But because you wrote a few articles with over 100,000 readers, you now don't even care about 10,000 readers?"
Yu Xiaoshu smiled at Gu Tianqi and said, "Is this floating???"
Gu Tianqi said hurriedly: "Teacher Yu, I am not floating, I just..."
"Let me ask you a question first."
Yu Xiaoshu asked Gu Tianqi: "Are you data-oriented or output-oriented when writing articles?"
"this…"
Gu Tianqi pondered for a moment and said, "Teacher Yu, I have always been data-oriented. What I want to write most is articles with over 100,000 views. Every time I see an article with over 100,000 views, I get very excited. I think this is success. But deep down, I still want to be a responsible entertainment reporter. If I only write gossip, I don't think it's good. Isn't this a bit hypocritical? What else can a gossip reporter write if not gossip? Don't you think so?"
"Very honest."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "But you can't say that. Who says gossip reporters have no social responsibility? The pen in your hand can destroy a person, but it can also save a person. Take the two online dramas "Female Official" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" for example. Your report may give the market a thought later, that is, the unscrupulous use of traffic and the unscrupulous use of acting talent are equally undesirable..."
People who can chat are different.
If it were someone with more social experience, what Yu Xiaoshu said to Gu Tianqi would be nonsense.
These days, apart from money, everything else is empty.
When you reach middle age, you can live without poetry and distant places, but you must not live without money.
But for Gu Tianqi, she is still a young person with a bit of passion, so what Yu Xiaoshu said is just right.
dream.
Yu Xiaoshu then talked to Gu Tianqi about his dreams.
"A dream is something that makes you happy when you persist. You can't be self-satisfied when writing articles, but there is no need to doubt yourself because of temporary data. You just need to ask yourself, what do you want?"
Yu Xiaoshu said to Gu Tianqi: "I believe that after you finish writing this series, you will have a place in the entertainment journalist market."
The hat is worn quite high.
Gu Tianqi wrote down everything Yu Xiaoshu wrote, and she even said, "Teacher Yu, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."
“No, you don’t need to prove it to me;
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "I guess there will be more doubts about the drama "Female Officials" in the future. So what you need to do is to systematically gather these doubts together, and at the same time use this to discuss what is wrong with this market. Remember, when writing the manuscript, you must do more research to see how many actors and actresses have failed, and why they failed..."
The outside world thinks that "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" and "The Female Official" are both very satisfying, especially Kunlang's video, which basically made people laugh so hard that they did splits.
They had originally hoped that the market for costume dramas could be developed. Kunlang Video's self-produced dramas this year were mainly costume dramas. The huge success of "Female Officials" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" almost made them the biggest winner in costume dramas.
After all, the self-produced dramas of Xingyao and Mili are one urban and one criminal investigation.
Now the huge hits of "The Female Official" and "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" may bring about a full revival of costume dramas.
These days, it seems like the New Year is approaching over at Kunlang Video.
As for Baiqian Media, apart from Yu Xiaoshu, no one else actually had any dissatisfaction.
The first five episodes of a film were shot in 16 days and became an instant hit.
What else are you dissatisfied with?
Li Yang and Cao Xiao were even more impressed by Yu Xiaoshu.
Li Yang thinks that Mr. Yu is too high-profile. He used the method of riding on the popularity of others to gain popularity similar to that of "The Rumored Chen Xingqian". Then he didn't broadcast the trailer or do any publicity. On the one hand, it whetted everyone's appetite, and on the other hand, made those who thought this web drama was bound to fail feel embarrassed and come to recommend it after watching it.
Killing several birds with one stone.
Teacher Yu is really tall and strong.
But what Li Yang didn't know was that Teacher Yu was not only tall and strong, but also stood farther away.
Of course he couldn't just let it go like that.
If so, what did Yu Xiaoshu target with "The Rumored Chen Qianqian"? ?
The ratings for the first broadcast of "The Lady Official" exceeded 4, and yesterday's ratings exceeded 3. It can be said to be very stable. The number of clicks has now exceeded 300 million, and the word-of-mouth rating is still steadily above 8.6 points.
Tell me, what did "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" attack on "The Female Official"?
Yu Xiaoshu will never be satisfied as long as others are satisfied.
For this reason, he came to Gu Tianqi today to do this.
Although "The Female Official" has a good reputation now, Yu Xiaoshu believes that this is definitely an impression score. It is also due to the expectations for the script and the high expectations for the rest of the whole drama.
Yu Xiaoshu has seen the current plot development, and it is a bit like the story of Mulan disguising herself as a man to join the army.
It depends on how it plays out next.
But no matter how it is performed, if "The Female Official" continues to be so discordant, Yu Xiaoshu doesn't care whether the reputation of this drama will collapse. He only cares about one person.
Mu Lefeng.
The person Yu Xiaoshu wanted to snipe was Mu Lefeng.
The 16-year-old girl she played had stiff acting and forced innocence, and most importantly, Mu Lefeng's movements were a bit stiff. Such acting skills currently received high reputation ratings, obviously because of the plot.
So, as long as the plot goes a little bit wrong, the reputation will definitely decline.
Yu Xiaoshu couldn’t control this, after all, the screenwriter was also Platinum. But there was one thing Yu Xiaoshu could control, and that was Mu Lefeng.
Let’s go back to the issue we are discussing.
Can actors act younger?
Can actors act younger?
Does it add points or detract points if actors play younger roles?
After telling Gu Tianqi the general idea, Gu Tianqi left.
Next, all the artillery fire will be directed at Mu Lefeng.
It's time to let her taste Yu's cannon.
At 3 pm, Zhang Ling returned from the crew of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian".
"Teacher Yu, Director Zhang asked me to tell you that the filming went smoothly and you don't have to worry."
Zhang Ling said excitedly: "Everyone is full of energy now after the success of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian"."
"good."
Yu Xiaoshu chuckled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's go and have a meeting together."
Currently, there are five screenwriters at Baiqian Media, namely Yu Xiaoshu, Xiao Xue, Zhang Cheng, Zhang Ling, and Jiang Ji.
"Xiaoxue, how is your script going?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked Xiao Xue.
Xiao Xue said a little embarrassedly: "Teacher Yu, I wrote several versions but I'm not satisfied with them, so I have to wait a little longer."
"Okay, no rush."
Yu Xiaoshu did not rush him. He knew that writing a script was like this. When you thought you had a good idea, you would be at a loss when you started writing.
In this respect, scripts and online novels are similar in that before they start writing, they think they can become gods, but once they start writing, they find out that they are just a fool.
"Zhang Cheng, Zhang Ling, your next task is still to focus on "The Rumored Chen Qianqian". You don't need to go to the crew anymore. Just break down and complete the outlines of the remaining episodes."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Zhang Cheng and Zhang Ling.
The two of them hurriedly said, "Teacher Yu, I understand."
"Jiang Ji, since you are good at urban dramas, then you can try writing it first. If you need my approval, come back to me."
Yu Xiaoshu finally said to Jiang Ji: "You just came to the company, and there are some things you don't understand yet, so don't be anxious."
After the meeting, Yu Xiaoshu kept Xiao Xue.
"Xiaoxue, what stage of campus drama are you good at writing?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked Xiao Xue.
“I still want to write about my college years.”
Xiao Xue said: "After all, college is not that far away from me. Junior high school and high school are too difficult for me now."
Yu Xiaoshu said, "Then, there are two stories. One is about two boys and one girl who are childhood sweethearts. They are admitted to the university together and then meet familiar classmates. The story unfolds for nine young men and women. The other is mainly about a girl next door who goes to the university for her neighbor's brother, but finds out that the neighbor's brother is not in school. She meets her roommates and several girlfriends, and finally experiences the so-called pessimistic story of separation and reunion. Which one do you like?"
Xiao Xue was a little confused: "Teacher Yu, I can't say for sure. After all, it's just an outline. But if I really want to say it, I still want to write a real campus story. The second one sounds a bit melodramatic."
"Okay, I understand."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "Go and get busy."
"ah?"
Xiao Xue said quickly: "Okay."
Although Yu Xiaoshu is very capable, Xiao Xue does not think that Yu Xiaoshu can write two scripts in a short period of time.
How is that possible? ?
But if Xiao Xue knew that Yu Xiaoshu had a cheat, then nothing is impossible.
"This Xiao Xue is really good."
Little did he know that Yu Xiaoshu was quite satisfied with Xiao Xue.
Yu Xiaoshu only told a little bit of these two stories, but Xiao Xue could tell that the second story was ridiculous.
Come to think of it, it makes sense.
Youth dramas and campus dramas will definitely be melodramatic if they contain pessimism and separation.
My best friend died while I was abroad after having an abortion.
You say it.
Any melodramatic youth campus drama will definitely have one thing in common, and some will have three.
This second story actually has all three.
But sometimes melodrama is not scary, because people will watch it, and more importantly, if there are one or two scumbags in it, then the popularity will increase.
That's why Yu Xiaoshu asked Xiao Xue whether she would choose the second story.
One is a pure campus drama, the other is a melodramatic but somewhat nostalgic drama about youth.
How does that sentence go?
There is no distinction between elegance and vulgarity.
You can eat garlic while drinking coffee, but it might seem a bit weird to eat garlic with coffee, but as long as you are happy, it's fine.
After finishing his busy work these past two days, Yu Xiaoshu prepared to help Xiao Xue write the script for the first three episodes.
In the future, if Baiqian Media gets on the right track, Yu Xiaoshu will definitely not be able to write scripts all the time. So he will write an outline, everyone will work together, and Yu Xiaoshu will be the final check.
This is normal.
I remember that a certain apologetic teacher trained his screenwriters in this way.
"Come in."
Yu Xiaoshu, who was about to start writing, said when he heard a knock on the door.
"Teacher Yu, the Imperial Capital TV station just called."
Zhang Ling said to Yu Xiaoshu.
"Imperial Capital Television?"
Yu Xiaoshu was stunned: "Why did they call you?"
Zhang Ling smiled and said, "Teacher Yu, have you forgotten? In addition to being a screenwriter, I am also your assistant."
"Hi."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand: "Forget about this, what did the Imperial Capital TV station say?"
"Their interview program 'Role Models' wants to invite you to participate."
Zhang Ling asked: "What do you think?"
"Reject it. I just participated in an interview program before."
Yu Xiaoshu was ready to refuse without a second thought, but then he said, "Ask them when this interview will be broadcast. If it's the latest one that can be broadcast, I'll record it."
"this…"
Zhang Ling shook her head and said, "Teacher Yu, I think it's a bit difficult. After all, the variety show recordings on TV stations are different from those on video websites."
"It's no different, and I'm sure they'll agree."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, “We should try our best to ride on the popularity. Right now, The Rumored Chen Qianqian is a big hit, it would be strange if the Imperial Capital TV station didn’t take advantage of the situation.”
Zhang Ling said: "Then I'll call them."
"kindness."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded slightly.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Ling came back and said, "Teacher Yu, Imperial Capital TV agreed, but we definitely won't be able to make it this time. We can air it next time."
"good."
Yu Xiaoshu said: "You discuss with them when to participate in the recording."
After Zhang Ling left, Yu Xiaoshu suddenly felt that he needed an assistant.
There are some things he can't do alone.
Zhang Ling is about to be trained as a screenwriter, so she definitely can't continue to be Yu Xiaoshu's assistant.
I turned my attention back to the Internet.
Yu Xiaoshu looked up the program "Role Models", which is basically the same as "Discovery". To be honest, these interviews are actually the same, but the extent to which the program can achieve sometimes tests the host's ability.
Why do some interview programs fail to continue?
It's simple, the host is not good enough.
The host of "Role Models" is Rong Weixin, the capital's leading young actress. Her hosting style is more cheerful and straightforward, but not the kind of straightforwardness that causes low EQ.
I did a quick check.
This "Role Models" starts at 8pm every Saturday night. No wonder I couldn't keep up with this episode. After all, today is Friday.
Later, Zhang Ling communicated back and told Yu Xiaoshu that he would participate in the recording next Wednesday.
"Good."
Yu Xiaoshu laughed: "Wednesday is the day when "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" is updated."
"Then Mr. Yu, if there is nothing else, I will get busy."
Zhang Ling said to Yu Xiaoshu.
"Go ahead."
Yu Xiaoshu waved his hand.
When it was almost time to get off work, Yu Xiaoshu received a call from Zhang Yi: "Teacher Yu, when are you going to come to the crew?"
"I'll be there at 9 o'clock tomorrow."
Yu Xiaoshu glanced at the time and asked, "Is there a problem with the crew?"
Zhang Yi said quickly: "Ah, no problem, everything is normal."
"Everything is fine. Why are you calling me?"
Yu Xiaoshu said: "Work hard."
Pop.
After saying that, Yu Xiaoshu hung up the phone.
This Zhang Yi.
I still don’t know how to be a good tool.
"Teacher Yu..."
Just as Yu Xiaoshu was about to pack up and leave, Zhang Ling knocked on the door again and asked, "Are you ready to leave?"
"Yes, I'm leaving. Also, I'm going to the crew of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian" tomorrow, but you and Zhang Cheng don't have to go. Just break down the script for me in the company."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Zhang Ling: "I will hire an assistant in a few days, then... Hey, why are you crying?"
"Teacher Yu, don't you want me anymore?"
Zhang Ling burst into tears.
“How is it possible??”
Yu Xiaoshu was a little amused: "You have talent as a screenwriter, so I hope you can do a good job in this area, but the work of an assistant is quite tedious, which will affect you."
“Oh, I see.”
Zhang Ling suddenly realized.
"What else do you think?"
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head and said, "Okay, wipe your tears quickly. If Uncle Wang sees this, he'll think I did something to you."
"What's going on??"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Bao pushed the door open and his face changed when he saw the scene.
MMP.
Yu Xiaoshu thought that this mouth had been blessed?
Otherwise, how can we mention who will come?
"Xiaoshu, you..."
Wang Bao said hesitantly.
This is my sister-in-law’s daughter.
How can you start?
"Uncle Wang, don't misunderstand me."
Seeing Wang Bao's look, Yu Xiaoshu understood instantly: "I just want Zhang Ling to stop being my assistant. She misunderstood that I think she is not capable."
"Uncle, don't get me wrong, Teacher Yu is very nice, it's me..."
Zhang Ling also hurriedly explained.
“What’s going on??”
Wang Bao was a little confused: "Isn't it appropriate for Lingling to be your assistant?"
"Uncle Wang, it's like this..."
Yu Xiaoshu briefly explained the matter: "Zhang Ling's talent as a screenwriter is not unheard of. I plan to focus on training her next."
"Hey, this is good news, Lingling, go back first and tell your mother."
Wang Bao felt relieved when he heard this.
He said so.
Yu Xiaoshu can't attack his sister-in-law's daughter.
"What's up? Uncle Wang, is there something wrong?"
Yu Xiaoshu asked after Zhang Ling left.
"It's okay, it's okay. I just wanted to ask you about Zhang Ling, but her mother forced me to do it."
Wang Bao smiled and said, "Okay, you should go back early too. When I'm done with my work, I'll call your teacher and we can celebrate together."
"no problem."
Yu Xiaoshu said.
As a result, on the way home, Yu Xiaoshu received another call from Zhang Ling.
"What's wrong??"
Yu Xiaoshu asked in some surprise.
"Teacher Yu, please take a look at Douhu."
Zhang Ling said: "I think this situation seems a little bit wrong."
“Something’s not right???”
Yu Xiaoshu frowned: "What's going on?"
…
