Chapter 563 This time I come (ask for monthly ticket)
Judy is the artist director after all, and he has the ability to judge the quality of a script, but sometimes a good script does not necessarily mean a hit.
After all, even if the script is good, the fame it brings out may not necessarily be good.
After all, the success of a film or TV series is multifaceted. The same script directed by different directors will be completely different, not to mention that some film or TV series are edited so well that even the screenwriter may not know that it is his own script.
Editing is also key to the success of film and television dramas.
This is why a good editor can even make the difference between the success or failure of a show.
This is why Yu Xiaoshu can shock so many people.
Because he is not only a platinum screenwriter, he is also a great editor.
When Yu Xiaoshu was editing a film, there was never a rough cut; he just went straight to the final cut.
Many people certainly cannot do this.
No, it's not that it can't be done, because it is absolutely impossible.
Why do many directors shoot several takes when making a film? This is because when editing, they sometimes choose a few takes from among them. Some directors will keep only one take, even if the actor’s performance in that take is already quite good.
Of course, the most brutally edited film was "The Grandmaster", where many actors were simply cut out of the show.
In short, when a TV series or film is not finally released, you have no idea whether it will be a success or a failure.
So Judy was embarrassed.
It's really embarrassing.
All the dramas he selected for his artists in recent years have failed.
It's one of those shows where the script is obviously good, the writer is a good screenwriter, and the cast is also good, and the investment is huge, but it ends up being a flop.
Can you blame him, Judy?
In the past two years, Xiaoma Entertainment has suffered a serious loss of artists. Judy spent a lot of effort to sign Yan Ming. Of course, he couldn't sign only Yan Ming because Yan Ming would not come. Judy signed Yan Ming and his agent Jia Tao together.
Among them, Judy would also like to thank Yu Xiaoshu.
Because when Judy signed Yan Ming, Yan Ming had not yet started filming "Detective Chinatown". At that time, Yan Ming was only slightly famous, but still lacked some talent. Unfortunately, the agency Yan Ming was in was not good enough.
Therefore, Judy personally talked to Jia Tao first, saying that he could make Yan Ming famous.
At that time, Xiaoma Entertainment needed a benchmark, that is, an artist who could inspire people.
As for the other popular ones, Xiaoma Entertainment cannot sign them, and the average ones don’t have much potential.
Judy finally chose Yan Ming.
His biggest advantage is his relationship with Yu Xiaoshu. Judy even personally asked Yu Xiaoshu for help, hoping to give Yan Ming a chance in the future.
Yu Xiaoshu naturally agreed to this.
For Yu Xiaoshu, because he rose too quickly, several of the eight major companies had already begun to encircle and suppress Baiqian Media, not to mention Kunlang Film and Television, which was already a rival.
In addition, Dongyi Film and Television also put some pressure on Baiqian Media.
Baiqian Media is ultimately in decline, so naturally what it needs to do is to make more friends. Xiaoma Entertainment has quite strong capital anyway, and the ties between Baiqian Media and Xiaoma Entertainment have been pretty good over the years.
Not to mention that Xiaoma Video has developed quite well in recent years. Before, Xiaoma Video missed several dramas of Baiqian Media, but later it invested a lot of money to establish long-term cooperation with Baiqian Media.
This is how the commercial society works. Originally, Baiqian Media had the opportunity to cooperate with Mili Video for a long time. "Go Go Squid!" brought a boom to Mili Video. Later, at the celebration party of "All Is Well", Yu Xiaoshu announced three more web dramas with Mili Video, namely "The Silent Truth", "Go Go Squid 2" and "Sito".
How to say it?
In this regard, it can perhaps be said that Yu Xiaoshu is a bit blindly confident.
"The Silent Truth" was indeed a big hit and became a phenomenal work. This web drama also brought good traffic to Mili Video, but later, "Go Go Squid!" was a flop.
Well, I can’t say it was a flop, but I can only say it was just average.
This was also one of the times that Yu Xiaoshu was criticized the most harshly, because everyone felt that the so-called myth of Yu Xiaoshu was no longer there, and that Yu Xiaoshu could not guarantee that he would be successful in everything.
As for the web drama "Sito" that followed, it was also quite satisfactory. After that, many people felt that Yu Xiaoshu was no longer as good as before in the field of web dramas.
This is also the reason why many people think that "The Wandering Earth" is not good.
Everyone thinks that Yu Xiaoshu's undefeated myth has almost been shattered, so it wouldn't be surprising if this movie really flopped.
As a result, no one expected that "The Wandering Earth" would directly reach the ceiling.
In addition, this is also the reason why Wu Jian, Wang Zhong, and Ma Ting were not very willing to take on the web drama at the celebration banquet.
Reality is always cruel.
This is why if a director fails with one film after another, it would be extremely difficult for him to attract investment again, and he might even have to be humble to do so.
This is true for directors and actors alike.
Think about it, Luo Yuan was once a platinum screenwriter, but what about now? ?
Isn't it still the case that no one is interested?
He was even fired by Tiger Star Films.
Capital is like this, they always only look at naked interests. After the cooperation between the three web dramas and MiLi Video expired, MiLi Video not only placed its bets on Yu Xiaoshu, but also began to select some young screenwriters and directors because of Chen Mi's emphasis on web dramas. Eventually, the traffic gradually returned.
After that, there was still cooperation, but it was far from the previous one.
Yu Xiaoshu didn't care much about this.
Among the three major video websites, not to mention Kunlang Video, Xingyao Video also has its pros and cons. As for Mili Video, its honeymoon period has also passed, so the current cooperation is naturally a two-way thing.
The only difference is that Baiqian Media still has a small share in Mili Video, which was obtained by taking advantage of the situation.
But this little bit of shares doesn't really mean much.
Originally, Yu Xiaoshu thought he could smoothly handle the MiLi Video side, but he didn't expect that Dongyi Film and Television would interfere.
One is a small company that is rising, and the other is one of the eight major entertainment companies. If you were Chen Mi, who would you choose? ?
What's more, Dongyi Film and Television has no intention of acquiring MiLi Video. Dongyi Film and Television wants a win-win situation.
Under such circumstances, MiLi Video naturally entered a honeymoon period with Dongyi Film and Television.
This is normal.
Although Baiqian Media and Dongyi Film and Television do not have much in common, they can still get along well in terms of face.
So, that's how it happened.
Baiqian Media's development is still steady and some dramas are still broadcast on MiLi Video, but that's all.
The honeymoon period is long gone.
Later, several more were shown on Star and Pony Video.
At present, the cooperation between Baiqian Media and Xiaoma Video is also going well.
After so many years, Xiaoma Video has finally come from behind.
In fact, Yu Xiaoshu plans to broadcast "The Beginning" on Xiaoma Video. Of course, it's hard to say at the moment. We'll talk about it after the filming is completed.
"Teacher Yu, let's give the role of Xiao Heyun to Yan Ming."
Judy said with a little excitement.
Although she has only watched two episodes, Judy believes that this script will definitely be a hit.
He felt that those who were pessimistic about Yu Xiaoshu were simply talking nonsense. Not only that, the Mi Li video in particular was completely opportunistic, and even Chen Mi was simply short-sighted.
Think about it, Chen Mi was holding his breath after his divorce from Liu Li. He was thinking about making Mi Li Video bigger and stronger as soon as possible, and even making the online drama bigger. To this end, Chen Mi had hugged Yu Xiaoshu's thigh tightly, and the effect was gratifying.
But that's how people are.
When you are unsuccessful, you will be able to listen to various opinions, and basically any decision you make will be considered correct. Many times, even if you make the wrong decision, you will still listen to other people's suggestions.
But after success, things will naturally be different.
Chen Mi cannot be said to be arrogant, after all, his choice was not wrong. Under the cooperation with Dongyi Film and Television, he continued to increase the traffic of Mili Video.
This is also considered a successful person.
But Judy still felt that Chen Liao’s chess play was not good.
Yu Xiaoshu’s "Go Go Squid!" 2 and "Sito" are indeed not very good, but they can’t be considered flops, they can only be considered average.
But that was Yu Xiaoshu.
Judy believes that Yu Xiaoshu will not continue to live such a dull life. Just look at the huge success of "The Wandering Earth".
That’s Yu Xiaoshu.
Judy once talked to Yu Xiaoshu as the representative of Xiaoma Entertainment. She wanted to sign Yu Xiaoshu, but in the end, Yu Xiaoshu asked for too much, or the freedom he wanted was too high, so Judy had to give up.
But to be honest, that was the thing Judy regretted most.
It is precisely because of this that Judy will not do anything that she will regret a second time.
He believed, and was extremely sure, that Yu Xiaoshu would not fail again, or that Yu Xiaoshu would rise again.
This time, after Judy watched two episodes of the online drama "The Beginning", he was absolutely certain.
This drama is going to be a blast.
But there is one thing, that is, the script is out, who is the director? ?
But that’s a story for later, let’s get the actors first.
For this, the role of Xiao Heyun must be obtained.
This is the male lead.
Judy doesn't think that Yu Xiaoshu's web drama is inferior to other movies.
Because this is Yu Xiaoshu’s work.
Yan Ming has gradually become famous for his role as Qin Feng.
But that's not enough.
What's more, Judy looks further ahead.
As long as Yan Ming and Yu Xiaoshu collaborate a few more times, Yan Ming's popularity would be even higher.
Of course, there is a more important point, that is, Yan Ming and Yu Xiaoshu have collaborated a lot, so in the future, when Yu Xiaoshu makes a movie, won’t he think of Yan Ming first?
Judy deeply regrets missing out on the movie "The Wandering Earth".
Although "Detective Chinatown" is also very strong, what if we add "The Wandering Earth"?
That will be completely different.
For this reason, Judy was ready to hold Yu Xiaoshu's thighs tightly first.
"Haha, that's no problem."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to give the role of Xiao Heyun to Yan Ming, and the female lead, Li Shiqing, but I actually wanted to give it to Zou Feng. Zou Feng and Xiao Heyun worked well together in Detective Chinatown, and I'm thinking about pairing them up again."
"Teacher Yu, you have the final say. These are some of the artists from Xiaoma Entertainment. Please take a look first."
Judy is still very sensible.
Although Yu Xiaoshu said that he would choose the roles, no one knows the script better than Yu Xiaoshu. In this case, let Yu Xiaoshu choose.
At this time, Yu Xiaoshu started to look at the artists provided by Xiaoma Entertainment.
"Well, this Li Feng is fine."
Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "Li Feng, this person can play Zhang Cheng."
Zhang Cheng, who can be regarded as the key figure of the entire "Beginning", is a very capable, clear-headed, and experienced criminal policeman with strong analytical and reasoning abilities. He found the survivors Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing in a cycle and investigated the truth at the same time.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhang Cheng is responsible for several climaxes of the whole play.
kindness.
Li Feng is just right.
In addition to Li Feng, this guy named Hu Kang can play Zhang Cheng's apprentice, Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng: A police officer of Jialin City Public Security Bureau, a young and good policeman. He is an apprentice of Zhang Cheng and has a good relationship with Zhang Cheng. He is impulsive and passionate, but in fact he is also a meticulous and thoughtful policeman. He was quite irritable when questioning Xiao Heyun and Li Shiqing, saying "he always repeats the same thing in a circle".
But to be honest, Jiang Feng is not a likable character in the play. After all, he is irritable and impulsive, and most importantly, he does not have the professionalism of a police officer.
Of course, when he goes back to shoot, Yu Xiaoshu plans to make some changes.
In addition to these two, there are Wang Xingde and Tao Yinghong.
These two people are the real elements of "The Beginning".
Or rather, they are the initiators.
They are murderers, but they are also pitiful people.
Wang Xingde was once praised for his good deeds and was published in the newspaper. Because Li Shiqing often took this bus, the two gradually became familiar with each other. After Li Shiqing found herself trapped in a cycle, she wanted to get off the bus every time for various reasons. Except for the time when she "falsely accused Xiao Heyun of being a pervert", Wang Xingde never opened the door.
What’s more important is that this was done because of Wang Xingde’s daughter.
As for Tao Yinghong, she is Wang Xingde's wife, and she is still brooding over the death of her daughter.
In short, Yu Xiaoshu plans to wait and see what happens to these two people.
Wang Xingde, Tao Yinghong, Zhang Cheng, Jiang Feng, these four characters Yu Xiaoshu plans to play will all be played by artists from Xiaoma Entertainment Company.
That’s settled.
Then, Judy asked who the director was this time.
Yu Xiaoshu pointed at himself and said, "This time, I'll come in person."
