The quality of the series with a total budget of more than 30 million is indeed different. Although this edition of the men's gang is very different from the original edition of the men's Gang, it is remarkable in terms of video image quality, plot content and even the performance of the actors. Not only does Lu Yang laugh from time to time, but Wang Lin and Wu Yongjun also laugh from time to time.
This is the charm of urban comedy. It doesn't need too twists and turns and too profound plot. It's enough to make the audience feel relaxed and happy.
This is very similar to the nature of webwen!
Traditional novels always like to write about human nature and depth. It seems that works that can not analyze human nature and have no profound connotation are rubbish.
Online writing doesn't take so much into account. Many experts who write online articles have a criterion - write as much as they can make readers feel good, and never write plots that make readers feel cruel.
This is the essential difference between webwriting and traditional novels.
Lu Yang looks at this edition of the men's gang , I can't help thinking of these. In my memory, in 2013, many traditional writers couldn't figure out the essential difference between online novels and traditional novels. It seems correct to generally define all works published on the Internet as online texts. In fact, they don't know anything at all, but such a ignorant definition makes many people who don't know the core of online texts believe it 。
If this is the only difference between online writing and traditional novels, why are many traditional writers jealous when they see online writers making a lot of money, but they are always unable to enter the line of online writing? They can't even catch up with a small spray?
Lu Yang read a lot about the comments of traditional writers. Those people tried to write online articles. After they failed all the time, they always blamed the reason on the readers, saying that the readers didn't know how to appreciate them.
As everyone knows, they didn't find out what the online text is. With the emotion of resistance and contempt, they turned over one or two online texts and thought they had understood the online text, which was simply ridiculous and generous.
Why can online text rise rapidly? Why can it make hundreds of millions of people like and obsessed?
The analysis of the reasons seems to be many, but there is only one real reason - the author of the online article has caught the reader's heart!
To put it more bluntly, the purpose of all plots written by online writers is to make readers feel good! Many authors say that in real life, everyone has been very tired. Reading novels is to relax and find happiness, not bad!
Readers want to see cool plots. Online writers are trying to meet the needs of readers in this regard, but what human nature and bullshit connotation do traditional writers want? Are readers tired?
This is reflected in the film and television works. It is not remaking the classic works in everyone's impression again and again, that is, Gong Dou drama, soap operas with short family history, or the gratitude and resentment of several families and three generations for decades because they hold the wrong child. They have to make everyone unhappy before they feel deep!
In the final analysis, it is traditional writers who have the right to speak in words in this era. What these guys are best at is those things.
Lu Yang's mobile phone suddenly rang. The sound of the mobile phone called him back from a moment's distraction. Only then did he find that he was a little far from what he thought, and he couldn't help laughing.
Perhaps his position in the online literary circle is getting higher and higher, but the mainstream literary world always belittles online literature. Lu Yang finds that he is more and more disgusted with traditional novels and traditional film and television dramas, and will always have some dissatisfaction.
Is this what the ancients said that scholars despise each other?
Lu Yang smiled at Wang Lin and Wu Yongjun. While taking out his mobile phone, he was still slightly distracted. The sound of the mobile phone just now attracted the eyes of Wang Lin and Wu Yongjun.
Taking out his mobile phone, Lu Yang found that the information was sent by Dao Xinyi.
"Lu Yang! Are you free today? I'd like to invite you to dinner after work. Last time you helped me take my father home, I haven't thanked you yet!"
Dao Xinyi's message to invite him to dinner.
Lu Yang doesn't have to think about it. He just arrived at the crew today. He can't have time to have dinner with her at all. He must have dinner with Wang Lin and them tonight. In the evening, he is likely to go to see the post production of dragon and snake strike. The first trailer of dragon and snake strike is waiting for him to see it first!
Therefore, Lu Yang smiled and replied to Dao Xinyi, "I'm afraid there's no time today. Tomorrow! I'll invite you tomorrow!"
After the text message was sent, Lu Yang set his mobile phone to vibrate and didn't want to affect Wang Lin and Wu Yongjun's watching the sample film of men's gang.
Dao Xinyi replied soon.
"OK! Then tomorrow! Just two days after tomorrow, I don't have my part for the time being."
"Well, good."
This is Lu Yang's reply.
After Lu Yang's reply, Dao Xinyi didn't send another message. Lu Yang also cleaned up his mood and continued to watch the samples of the four episodes of men's gang. The exquisite picture quality, relaxed and funny plot and the bright beauties from time to time. If Lu Yang was asked to score, he should give 8 points.
Well, if it's a 10 point scale.
After watching all the samples of the four episodes, it was dark outside and Wang Wei's shooting task today had been completed. When playing the second half of the third episode, he gently opened the door and walked in to watch with Lu Yang and them.
After all the four episodes were finished, Wang Lin, Wang Wei and Wu Yongjun all looked at Lu Yang. Wang Lin smiled and asked, "Wenda! How? Have you photographed the feeling you want in your heart?"
This question is also what Wang Wei and Wu Yongjun want to ask. In particular, Wang Wei, who directed a TV play for the first time, seems a little nervous. People in their thirties are still like primary school students waiting for the teacher's evaluation. They subconsciously sit upright and put their hands on their knees, spread them out and clenched them into fists.
Lu Yang glanced at his restless hands with a smile and didn't want to arouse his appetite. He reached out and patted his palm, smiled and praised: "good! Sell the first round broadcasting right as soon as possible! I'll wait for your good news! The crew here, continue to work hard and keep improving! At least keep the level of the previous four episodes! No problem?"
The latter sentence was asked by Wang Wei and Wu Yongjun.
With Lu Yang's affirmation, the two directors and deputy directors were relieved. Hearing Lu Yang's final request, they both smiled and promised to work harder.
That night, Wang Lin invited Wang Wei and Wu Yongjun, the directors and deputy directors of the men's Gang, Yuan Yu, the director of the dragon and snake attack, and Wu Gang, the editor, to accompany Lu Yang for dinner.
At the banquet, the main topics were "men's Gang" and "dragon and snake attack". Wang Wei and Yuan Yu both told Lu Yang good news.
Wang Wei said that the shooting progress of the men's gang is getting faster and faster. In another two months or so, it should be able to complete the production.
At the same time, there should be no problem in recovering the cost of the play, because according to the national documents, the first round broadcasting right of a play can be sold to four provincial satellite TV stations at most. At present, seven satellite TV stations have expressed interest in watching the sample film of the play. As long as it can be successfully sold to four provincial satellite TV stations, according to the current market of urban drama, the quotation of a single episode is generally about 200000-300000, About 30 episodes of "men's Gang" can sell about 30 million in the first round of broadcasting rights alone.
The total budget of the men's gang is about 30 million, and the first round broadcasting right can be sold for about 30 million. It seems that it can only protect the principal, but it's not! As mentioned earlier, the man gang has nearly 20 million sponsorship fees and naming rights alone, and the actual investment of Lu Yang and Wang Lin is only about 10 million.
In this way, it makes a lot of money. Moreover, in addition to the first round of broadcasting rights, it can also sell the second round of broadcasting rights and even permanent copyright.
Well, and Internet copyright.
Although the network copyright management of TV dramas is very chaotic and the stolen version is flying all over the world, some regular large websites still dare not easily steal the version. TV dramas are not online text, and the online text is stolen. It is difficult for individual online writers to sue for infringement one by one, but TV drama production companies do not lack legal personnel. As long as large websites dare to steal the version, they will almost sue one.
The good news brought by Yuan Yu to Lu Yang is that the post production of dragon and snake attack should be completed in early September.
In this way, "dragon and snake strike" can be scheduled to be released in October to avoid the new year file with strong films.
The last time "the gate of rebirth" mistakenly entered the new year's file, Lu Yang was haunted by the experience of large-scale productions such as "007 vs. Casino Royale", "disciples" and "wonderful night of the museum". Where dare you let "dragon and snake strike" also squeeze into the new year's file?
A single film, IP man, has left him in a state of confusion. If the dragon and snake strike together and IP man hit the same schedule, there will certainly be no good consequences.
After dinner, Wang Wei and Wu Yongjun, who will continue shooting tomorrow, left and went back to the hotel. Lu Yang and Wang Lin followed Yuan Yu and editor Wu Gang to the editing room of dragon and snake attack. Accompanied by several people, Lu Yang watched the first cut of dragon and snake attack. After reading it, Lu Yang didn't immediately express his opinions, but asked to continue playing the first trailer.
After watching all of them, Lu Yangxin was filled with emotion. Yuan Ying is worthy of being the top martial arts director and veteran director in Hong Kong. The action design in the film is very tense! Combined with the special effects of post production, the style is fierce and different. Each expert has his own unique style of Kung Fu.
The special effect is not exaggerated. The action design has a practical style, but it is slightly higher than the practical style!
This is the kind of high martial arts film Lu Yang wants!
After reading it all, the editing room was quiet. Wang Lin scattered his cigarettes one by one, and several old cigarette guns were smoking there, waiting for Lu Yang's evaluation.
Wang Lin wanted to light Lu Yang's cigarette. Lu Yang waved his hand and narrowed his eyes slightly. While playing with the cigarette in his hand, he recalled the first cut of dragon and snake attack and the trailer he had just seen. At the same time, he was also organizing his own words.
Wang Lin and Yuan Chen waited patiently without urging. When they finished smoking half of a cigarette, Lu Yang smiled and said, "that's good! That's the trailer! You can send it out! The first cut version will speed up the progress of the plot! Don't cut any more at the beginning! If you cut too much at the beginning, the story is not explained clearly, which will affect the audience's sense of substitution..."
Lu Yang said one by one, saying his feeling from the perspective of the audience. He doesn't need any profound theme of the film, just a wonderful story!
As always, the online style!
