Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 137

The filming of the scene in New York was finished in a few days, and the crew moved to Hengdian to continue filming, and continued filming throughout the summer.

On the second day of wrapping up, Yuan Huadu was still in a trance, deeply dominated by bitterness and tiredness. It's really hard to get money for actors these days, and he missed Shuangzi again.

Throwing coercion, rushing to bombing spots, and martial arts scenes, he was almost exhausted after filming one after another.

Fortunately, stick to it.

I can't wait to go back to Shanghai, and I want to have an in-depth exchange of performance experience with Jing Tian. There is only a note at home. Jing Tian said that she has joined the group and won't be back for a short time. Don't read it.

"Ah!" Lying on the sofa, Yuan Hua felt that the world was getting darker, and he was so bored that he could only pick up his mobile phone to read the information of the second part of Notes on Tomb Raiders.

Notes on Tomb Raiders started broadcasting last week, with 35 episodes, one episode a day, Tencent Video has a conscience this time.

Nine episodes have been aired so far, with a total of 800 million views. Based on this momentum, Notes on Tomb Raiders may become the first online drama in China with over [-] million views.

Yuan Hua, who was idle and bored, started watching the first episode, and opened the comment section from time to time to interact with netizens.

"I love the picture quality, I love it, it's completely indistinguishable from TV dramas."

"The plot is compact and not watery, and the plot is fascinating, but the actor's acting skills are a little bit weak. Overall, I give it an [-]. After all, it is unprecedented for a web drama to do this."

"I'm Zhuo! Play the four together and give Tencent a thumbs up!"

"The Zhang family's ancient building is amazing, it cost a lot of money to see the situation."

"Online dramas are on the rise!"

"After finishing the nine episodes, let me tell you some thoughts. The only fly in the ointment is that the advertisement placement is a bit of a drama, and the nine-nine-nine-nine-nine cold spirit keeps appearing."

Yuan Hua saw this comment, and many people liked it, but he didn't reply.

There is no way to insert advertisements. He has tried his best to weaken the existence of advertisements, and sometimes it is just a flash of a shot.

He's not Jiang Wen. When he was filming Let the Bullets Fly, the Three Best Actors' Hongmen Banquet scene, he didn't want the advertisement for the wine bottle even if it cost tens of millions. In the end, he chose to tear off the label on the bottle.

Yuan Hua thinks he can't do this. The purpose of making notes on tomb robbers is to make money. It is understandable to place advertisements without affecting the quality of the drama. Everyone does it like this.

Urban drama, which one doesn't order advertisements?
In a few years, Yang Mi's commercials for Gu Jian Qi Tan will be even more frenzied. The names of food stalls and inns are all advertisements.

After watching the drama until it got dark, the assistant brought the food. Yuan Hua sat in front of the computer and ate while watching Weibo, wanting to hear the comments of the industry insiders on the Tomb Raider Notes.

It's a pity that there are not many reviews, and the hottest topic of discussion is the fact that a web drama sold 4000 million yuan.

The focus is off.

Countless people are jealous.

"A drama that breaks the Internet can sell 4000 million yuan, and I can do it myself."

"It's sad, it's a pity, this kind of tomb-robbing drama with unrighteous three views can be so popular. I spent three years checking the data and five years polishing the script. The historical drama can't pass the review."

"4000 million, have you paid the tax?"

"Brother upstairs, wake up, the show is not over yet, and the money hasn't come down yet."

"Ma De, 4000 million, I also want to make an online drama, give it a go, and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle."

"How did Tomb Raider's Notes succeed: first of all, we analyzed the content of the story. This is a popular novel IP, which has a large number of readers, and it has its own popularity."

"Second, the investment is large, and the production is excellent. I have to admit that the investment of 2000 million is indeed a big deal. The pictures are exquisite, and the props are nothing to say."

"Third, the acting skills of the actors are online (skip the male lead). I don't know if you have noticed. There are many old characters in this drama. The script is good, and the costumes, props and make-up are all first-class. The young man added Old drama bone, you can't do it if you don't want to be popular..."

"Finally, if you want to make money, buy an IP adaptation of a novel. The higher the popularity, the better. Find a few popular niches and add the old drama style. Earning tens of millions is like picking up money."

Why did the Tomb Raider Notes succeed? Yuan Hua read this post four or five times. The more he read it, the more he felt that it was posted by a novel website. The purpose was to let people go to them to buy the copyright.

It is too easy to find a popular novel these days. Open the app and search the rankings. The top ten may not be the best, but they must be the hottest.

In the next few days, the online novel industry was booming, and there were constant rumors that the copyright of the novel was being sold.

Some popular novels have even fetched sky-high prices. For example, the most popular novel of the moment, Fights Break the Sky, the film and television rights were sold for 800 million yuan. Yuan Hua didn't know who was taken advantage of to buy it, but he could only admire his courage.

Fantasy novels are the most popular on major novel websites, but in fact, when you think about it carefully, they are also the most difficult to adapt.

Flying in the sky at every turn, a big move can be smashed down for hundreds of miles without a blade of grass growing, and it is nothing to worry about if the protagonist breaks the sky with a punch.

If you want to adapt it into a film and television drama, you are destined to spend a lot of money. Those special effects are all supported by money.

Focusing on film and television, Yuan Hua, who took a week off, came to work.

"Why are you here?" Yang Siwei was a little surprised to see him.

If an actor wants to play a role well, he must enter the play. It is easy to enter the play and difficult to get out of the play. For most actors, it takes a long time to get out of the role after filming a play.

Yuan Hua had just finished filming Ghost Blowing Lantern, she thought she would rest for at least a month or two, but she came here in a week.

"I'm bored at home, so I came here to find something to kill time." After speaking, Yuan Hua heard a voice from an office, the door was not closed, he stretched his head to look, and found that Li Yifeng was studying opera in it.

The teacher who taught him was a middle-aged woman whom Yuan Hua had never met before.

"The teacher of the show." Yang Siwei said: "After filming Notes on Tomb Raiders, he asked me to help him find a teacher to learn acting. He has been studying for a while, and he is very hardworking. The teacher said that he has made great progress."

Pulling his head back, Yuan Hua stopped looking at Li Yifeng: "There's nothing to praise about this. It's not long to be a professional, but improving performance is a job. What plans do you have for him next?"

He is not the manager, Yang Siwei is, and the artists are under her management.

"Take commercial performances, appear in variety shows, film endorsements, and start commercializing to make money. During this period, we will prepare the third part of Notes on Tomb Raiders and let him continue to act. After he becomes famous, he will start to contact TV dramas and get on the right track."

Web dramas are always web dramas, which are recognized by the audience but not by the mainstream. Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, Golden Horse, Golden Statue, Magnolia, Golden Eagle Award, Feitian Award, and even Huading Award, which one is awarded to web dramas?
Web dramas are just a springboard for Li Yifeng, and Yang Siwei always wants to lead him to the road of film and television dramas.

"It's right to become famous and act in a TV series, but there is no rush for the third part of Notes on Tomb Raiders. He is too young and his acting skills are immature. He can't control the middle-aged Wu Xie. Wait a little longer."

The Ultimate Notes of Tomb Raider Notes Yuan Hua combined the four parts together, and Wu Xie would be older later on. Li Yifeng's performance in these two parts is not enough, let alone the middle-aged Wu Xie.

And he didn't have so much effort to play Zhang Qiling.

The main reason for supporting Zhang Qiling in two films in a row is to praise Li Yifeng. If he continues to praise Li Yifeng in the third and fourth films, then he doesn't have to do anything for a day, and he can just focus on playing the younger brother.

Those who didn't know thought Li Yifeng was the boss of the company.

"In the future, the company's publicity will focus on taking care of Li Yifeng. I'm not in a hurry here, so I can let it go."

When the popularity reaches a certain level, it can no longer be hyped, and netizens who are frequently searched on the Internet are annoying. Next, there will be two dramas of Notes on Tomb Raiders and Ghost Blowing the Lantern to help him maintain his popularity. This year is about the same.

"Okay, let's make arrangements for him next week." Yang Siwei lamented that Li Yifeng's life was good.

I have to say that Yuan Hua is a good boss, he never treats his employees and artists badly, and has nothing to say.

Back then in Orange Blossom, if Sister Hua had treated him like this, what would happen now.

Speaking of which, the two management methods have something in common, that is, they don't need to bind people with contracts, and Orange Blossom plays the money card and uses benefits to retain people.

The advantage is that as long as there is money to be made, artists will generally not run away, but there is a lot of capital in the market, and there are many richer than Orange Blossom. When encountering greater benefits, artists will still leave.

For example, Yuan Hua, he is an ambitious actor. His ambition is not only in career, but also in business. It can be seen from the time when he secretly invested in investors, he is not an actor who is willing to stay under others for a long time.

Drawing lessons from Orange Blossom, he pays more attention to character when accepting artists. He can take care of Li Yifeng, who is not even an [-]-tier actor, like his own son. No one in the entertainment industry can do this.

After officially signing Yixin, he came up as the number one male. He acted as a supporting role for Li Yifeng twice, and invited Huang Lei to follow him as a supporting role.

No one is treated this way.

It is favor and benefit, two sticks knocked down, but anyone with a bit of conscience will not do anything wrong to him in the future.

Yang Siwei thought differently, if she were Li Yifeng, she would definitely follow Yuan Hua with all her heart.

"Is there any work I can do?"

Yuan Hua looked around, trying to find some work.

"Yes, can I take out the office trash?"

"Are you entertaining me?"

"Then it'll be fine."

Yuan Hua is an actor by profession and often filming outside. On the first day of the company's establishment, Yang Siwei never thought of setting up a job for him.

If you really let him do things, where do you go when you want to find someone?
It takes several months to shoot a movie, and when he finishes filming, the ashes here will be cold.

Yuan Hua was depressed, looked around, but there was really nothing to do, so he went outside to buy a coffee machine, and bought a few boxes of Laotan sauerkraut, and put Shuanghui ham in the company.

I thought that when everyone worked hard overtime, they could refresh themselves and eat something nutritious to pad their stomachs.

……

At the end of September, Tomb Raider Notes: The Ultimate Note ended, with a total of 4000 million views, making it the most played online drama ever.

35 episodes, with an average of 1000 million people watching each episode.

With this drama, Li Yifeng became very popular, and his popularity soared under the company's vigorous publicity. In just a few days, twelve endorsements were added.

Looking for Yixin to cooperate and invest in the third Tomb Raider Notes line up, Tencent has tasted the sweetness twice in a row, and is also urging them. Xun video expressed regret.

At this time, the promotion of Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Finding the Dragon began, with an investment of more than [-] million yuan, starring Yuan Hua, Huang Bo, Shu Qi, Liu Xiaoqing, Xia Yu. This string of names immediately attracted the attention of netizens.

The big IP has increased the production and added many powerful actors, even if you want to keep a low profile.

On September 29th, three days before the release of Ghost Blowing Lantern, the premiere ceremony was held in Yanjing. The big names gathered at the scene, and the president of Huayi came to support him in person. Not only did he come, he also brought several leading figures.

Li Binbin, Tong Dawei, Fan Binbin, Deng Chao, even Huang Xiaoming who has left the company also came, together with Xia Yu, Liu Xiaoqing, Shu Qi, Huang Bo, Yuan Hua, one of the fathers of Ghost Blowing the Lantern, Xia Luo, is simply an all-star line-up.
