Chapter 468 Everything is left to the audience
There is no upper limit.
These four words are Yu Xiaoshu’s answer.
As I said, he first believed in the strength of the TV series "Drawing Sword". After all, this TV series really set a ratings record in its original time and space.
Secondly, "Drawing Sword" was broadcast on the Imperial Capital TV Station.
It’s quite interesting to say that whether it’s the hit dramas “All Is Well”, “Soldier Assault”, “Sweeping Dark Storm”, “In the Name of People”, or several other dramas, basically all the works of Baiqian Media have not been broadcast on first-tier TV stations.
This time, "Drawing Sword" is scheduled to be broadcast on the Imperial Capital TV Station.
With the added support of a first-tier satellite TV station, Yu Xiaoshu really couldn't guess what the final ratings for "Drawing Sword" would be.
It is even possible that "Drawing Sword" can once again set a new ratings record.
But what is the actual ratings record?
Yu Xiaoshu didn't know.
Because he cannot predict, Yu Xiaoshu said there is no upper limit. Many people outside think that Yu Xiaoshu is a little inflated, but only Yu Xiaoshu himself knows that he is really not inflated.
Because if "Bright Sword" is really broadcast, it might really create a miracle that even you can't imagine.
At this time, there was another trend of discussion on the Internet.
At present, all four mission dramas have been scheduled for New Year's Day, January 1. This can be regarded as the four dramas to be released at the beginning of the year, and they will be broadcast simultaneously by four satellite TV stations.
This can be called a grand event at the beginning of 2023.
You should know that before this, the country neither paid much attention to nor promoted mission dramas. Many screenwriters basically fooled around when they got mission dramas, and did whatever they could to fool people.
Because there was a precedent before, that is, no matter how well you write the script, the higher-ups will not take it seriously. Not only will they not take it seriously, but no one will even help you with the promotion.
But this time it was completely different.
It was said from the beginning that this time, the mission drama would be a benchmark. In fact, the recent trend of film and television dramas is completely unbearable for the higher-ups, so this mission drama came into being.
If one type doesn't work, start with that type.
That's exactly the case. Now it can no longer be said that anti-Japanese dramas are no longer acceptable. They are completely unwatchable. For this reason, everyone decided after discussion, and that's why the task of watching anti-Japanese dramas this time came about.
So, can Bai Susu, Yu Xiaoshu, Fang Xi, and Xiao Liang handle this mission well? ?
We will only know this after the show starts on January 1st.
Of course, Lu Yuan said in an interview: "We did not interfere too much with the works of the four screenwriters this time. We gave the four screenwriters absolute creative freedom, because we do not want to judge a work based on our own preferences, so I hope to leave the work to the audience, because these four screenwriters are currently the top young screenwriters, I believe they will not disappoint the audience..."
Obviously, Lu Yuan's words gave everyone some trust.
After all how to say it???
As for Lu Yuan, everyone trusts him very much. We can even say that everyone believes that what Lu Yuan says is right.
But it is mainly because these four screenwriters, including Yu Xiaoshu, are very strong.
With the arrival of New Year's Day, the discussion on the four major dramas on the Internet has become more and more intense. Many people have expressed that no matter what, they must support and watch Yu Xiaoshu's dramas.
Among them, Bai Susu's anti-Japanese drama was broadcast on Star City Satellite TV.
It is obvious that Bai Suzhen is extremely confident in her work.
Next, she will go to Star City with the director and a group of main creators to promote the film.
Bai Suzhen is extremely confident about her work. She believes that this work will change the current anti-Japanese dramas. No, to be more precise, this work will change history.
During the interview, the reporter asked Bai Susu about the work she wrote.
"I believe this work will really tell everyone how anti-Japanese dramas are made. I am also very dissatisfied with the recent anti-Japanese dramas in China. I think that there is no reflection on the war, and on the contrary, there is no reverence for history."
Bai Susu said in an interview: "For this reason, I hope that this movie "My Grandma" can really give people at home some food for thought."
That's right.
Bai Suzhen's work actually underwent several name changes before finally settling on this name.
In Bai Suzhen's view, in war, everyone is an ant. Sometimes a speck of dust from the times can be like a mountain when it falls on a person. Bai Suzhen is precisely prepared to use individual tragedy to set off the whole.
And her film "My Grandma" is just like that.
Confidence comes from strength.
Bai Suzhen believes that this work will bring about a huge response, and she also feels that this is her comeback work after five years.
In the past five years, Bai Suzhen believes that she has made rapid progress in every aspect. She even thinks that she is the best in the entire screenwriter circle, especially among the younger generation of screenwriters.
It can even be said that Bai Suzhen has always been proud, and her pride is accompanied by arrogance. She believes that she will definitely succeed, and this confidence comes from the recognition of her own abilities.
Think about it, five years ago, before Bai Suzhen went abroad, she was already quite famous in the Chinese screenwriter circle. Then in the past five years, not to mention abroad, Bai Suzhen's influence has really been increasing.
It is precisely because of this that Bai Suzhen can be said to be successful both at home and abroad.
The reason she came back to take on such a mission drama was actually because her best friend and Lu Yuan had been trying hard to invite her. Otherwise, how could she come? ?
kindness.
It can be said that Bai Su Su actually looks down on the screenwriters in the mainland a little bit, because after she went abroad, she felt that all the foreign screenwriters were good, and she felt that the screenwriters in the mainland were not good at all. What about the screenwriters? ?
The pattern is too low.
Yes.
Bai Suzhen just feels that the vision of mainland screenwriters is too low. Even though Yu Xiaoshu really created one miracle after another this time, to be honest, Bai Su still looks down on Yu Xiaoshu.
What’s the point of creating so many miracles in the office?
Isn’t it still a little transparent in foreign countries? ?
Even Bai Suzhen didn't think that Yu Xiaoshu would have any further development, which Bai Suzhen became more convinced of after watching "Love Is Not Blind".
It is true that the script is king, but the era of blockbusters will never be out of date. Even for Bai Suzhen, the era of blockbusters in the future is unstoppable.
Even if a low-budget movie has a high return, it is basically impossible to make much of a sensation.
Take a look at some of Yu Xiaoshu’s movies. None of the movie scripts he wrote are so-called real blockbusters.
Just like that, Bai Susu believes that Yu Xiaoshu does not put any so-called pressure on her.
As for such a mission drama with anti-Japanese themes, Bai Suzhen didn't actually take Yu Xiaoshu seriously. Not to mention Yu Xiaoshu, she didn't even take Fang Xi and Xiao Liang seriously.
Anti-Japanese drama, this so-called mission drama, Bai Suzhen thinks that the other three people are not good enough, not to mention that it is an anti-Japanese drama, the other three people will not be her opponents.
For this reason, Bai Susu laughed at the ratings mentioned by the reporter: "I don't know what the ratings are, but I believe the audience will like it."
A reporter continued to ask: "Teacher Yu said that the ratings of his drama are unlimited, so what do you think?"
"It's good to have confidence, but too much confidence is not good."
Bai Su Su shook her head slightly and said, "I believe that Teacher Yu has the confidence, so I don't have anything to show you. I hope the audience can compare them when the time comes."
This is what Bai Suzhen said.
Yu Xiaoshu said that there is no upper limit to the ratings.
Then Bai Suzhen said about the ratings: let everyone see.
As for Fang Xi, his answer is relatively simple. He said: "Although I am the oldest, I am not competitive in terms of ability or creativity. Therefore, I am more optimistic about Yu Xiaoshu. I think Yu Xiaoshu should be able to bring something different."
Good job.
Fang Xi directly expressed his optimism about Yu Xiaoshu.
Apart from that, as for Xiao Liang, there is no need to mention it. He said that he is just an ordinary screenwriter and just wants to make money. Other aspects do not matter. Precisely because of this, Xiao Liang feels that he is the worst among the four screenwriters.
Therefore, Xiao Liang is optimistic about the other three people.
kindness.
All four screenwriters were interviewed.
In addition to these four screenwriters, there are four directors. You should know that this time both the screenwriters and directors are young people. It is precisely because of this that basically everyone has a lot of expectations for these four mission dramas.
As for why look forward to it?
In fact, it is very simple. Everyone has been patient with the anti-Japanese drama for a long time. This time, of course, everyone is looking forward to something different.
…
At Lu Yuan's home.
"Dad, we have all watched the play written by Bai Susu. Are you so relieved?"
Fang Xi said speechlessly: "I think Bai Su Su has gone astray."
"Of course I know she has gone astray. In the past five years, she has been doing well abroad and has written good scripts, but she has forgotten one thing, that is, what belongs to the nation is what belongs to the world, and it is not the West that defines what is the world."
Lu Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "Of course we can oppose the war, but it does not mean forgetting the sense of right and wrong, or even opposing the war in a saintly manner."
Fang Xi was stunned: "Dad, if you know this, why do you still do this?"
"Sometimes, if I refuse, or even if someone from our Screenwriters Association refuses, and tells Bai Su Su what's wrong and what shouldn't be done, do you think she will listen?"
Lu Yuan shook his head and laughed: "I think she not only won't listen, she will even think that we are old and confused..."
The same thing.
This is the pattern of Luyuan.
Lu Yuan believes that people like Bai Suzhen are not isolated cases. There may even be a lot of people like her. These people's views on right and wrong should be quite abnormal, but they just think they are right.
So, what should we do in such a situation? ?
It's very simple, just put everyone's opinions under the sun and then have a debate.
Many times, the truth becomes clearer the more you argue.
This is why Lu Yuan did not interfere with Bai Suzhen's creation, and even after Bai Suzhen completed her creation, Lu Yuan did not say anything.
Because for young people like Bai Suzhen, it will be of no use even if you say it.
It would be better to let them be educated by the audience slowly.
As I said, the audience is not fools. It can even be said that in many cases, the audience is the one who knows the most.
Fang Xi said nothing more.
He knew that once his father-in-law made a decision, it would be almost impossible to change it.
Of course, Fang Xi also wanted to see what kind of response the drama "Bai Suzhen" would get.
But Fang Xi asked another question: "Dad, what do you think of Yu Xiaoshu's work?"
“It’s hard to say.”
Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I think Yu Xiaoshu's work is a bit too bold, even bold beyond the ordinary. But on the other hand, this has to be left to the audience to judge whether they will be satisfied."
Besides.
The purpose of this mission script was to use young people's ideas to make some changes.
In that case, the same thing applies.
Trust these young people and leave everything to the audience.
Ultimately, it’s up to the audience to judge.
that's all.
Over the next few days, the box office of "Love Is Not Blind" was officially stabilized. At the same time, the several interviews Yu Xiaoshu accepted were all similar.
The questions asked are similar.
This time Yu Xiaoshu was not stingy, because since he was going to use "Drawing Sword" to change some things, he had to do some things first.
Therefore, Yu Xiaoshu and his team conducted various interviews.
Not to mention the Imperial Capital Television.
It has been such a long time, and the Capital Television Station has no chance to cooperate with Yu Xiaoshu.
This time, they have got such an opportunity. The Capital TV Station doesn’t have to worry about whether people are optimistic about "Drawing Sword" or not, because the show will be broadcast here anyway.
Then of course the Imperial Capital Television will do its utmost to promote it.
At the same time, several TV stations in Shanghai and Star City also carried out publicity.
Everyone promotes their own.
Anyway, let's wait until January 1st to decide everything.
And today, it is finally January 1, 2023.
The four mission dramas will finally be aired in the evening.
Not only are the audience looking forward to it, Lu Yuan also wants to see the response.
This time, he changed everything to make a mission drama, how is it? ?
"Drawing Sword" held a simple launch ceremony at the Imperial Capital TV Station, and then everyone interviewed each other for a few words, and that was it.
Then, just wait for the show to start.
