What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 118 Senior Brother Is Very Steady
Teacher Tan also had an event today. The National Symphony Orchestra finished work earlier, so Yang Shu was also the first to arrive. Sister Qin and her husband Wang Xinjun arrived earlier.

It was Sister Tao who opened the door. She was still wearing the dress she wore during the day, a black skirt with silver shadows, a tight-fitting black suit, and two black satin roses on the lapels.

Sister Tao embraced the guests warmly like a hostess, and said softly, "I haven't seen you for half a month."

Yang Shu patted Sister Tao on the back to express his comfort, but he saw someone approaching through the frosted glass of the entrance, so he raised his voice: "Brother-in-law still hasn't come back this year?"

"What do you mean?" Sister Tao looked at him in surprise: "What's wrong with you?"

My brother-in-law has lived in the United States all the year round. He is a very straightforward person. He has admitted more than once on Weibo that he has become addicted to drugs in order to treat diseases and is trying to quit.

Sister Tao is also very virtuous, and she expressed more than once in the show that she would help to quit.

Later, when she filmed "The Beginning", a line "preparing for a drug test" inexplicably became popular, and it was not without reason.

"Shushu," just as the words finished, Sister Qin came over with a smile on her face: "We haven't seen each other for three months, it seems that we have matured a lot."

Yang Shu let go of Sister Tao, and called out respectfully, "Sister Qin."

I have been busy with "Love Letters from Heaven" during this time, and I haven't seen Sister Qin for a while. Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu have more business contacts with her.

Compared with last year, her complexion is much better, and she is more energetic. She should have come out of the shadow of postpartum depression.

After meeting the two older sisters, Yang Shu entered the living room and shook hands warmly with the anti-Japanese hero Wang Xinjun: "Brother-in-law, I grew up watching your works."

This is not a casual flattery, Wang Xinjun is the second married Qin Hailu, seven years older than her, and 22 years older than Yang Shu, if it is not because of Qin sister, he can call him uncle.

Wang Xinjun graduated from Nortel in his early years, and then entered the National Theater. Qin Hailu also entered the National Theater after graduating from Chinese opera. The two were colleagues.

In addition, Brother Deng Chao was also admitted to Chinese opera at the end of the 90s. After graduation, he was also assigned to the National Theater, and the three of them worked together.

And Jin Dong and Wang Kai also graduated from Chinese opera, Jin Dong is a class later than Chao Ge, so the four of them are alumni with Sister Qin.

Sister Qin is a big sister, and Brother Chao is a big brother. In addition, Brother Chao and Wang Kai have one thing in common. Back then, they were admitted by both China Opera and Nortel in the art test, but they both chose China Opera in the end.

The life trajectories of Sister Tao and Sun Li are basically similar. They both joined the army at the age of fifteen or sixteen and became art soldiers. domestic line.

People with the same life trajectory are easier to become friends.

Sister Bingbing and Xiaoyanzi have similar life trajectories. They both went to Beijing to develop after graduating from Xie Jin Art School.

Wang Xinjun became famous relatively early. In the late 90s, he participated in the movie "The Yellow River" and won the Best Feature Film of the Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award and the Outstanding Feature Film of the Huabiao Award. After that, he starred in a series of anti-Japanese dramas. Everyone is familiar with the screen image.

Speaking of which, he was also Yang Shu's senior brother in his previous life, and the two studied at Nortel successively.

Brother-in-law Wang is no longer just acting, acting like Brother Chao and being excellent as director. This year, after "Love in the Yellow River" in the early years, he once again cooperated with Tranquility in the legendary anti-Japanese drama "Legend of Landmine Heroes", which is currently being broadcast. Watch it It looks awesome.

However, his most well-known work is "Anti-Japanese Heroes", which exists like a textbook. It is said that many people in Japan like to watch it, and some people write books to introduce this kind of drama in China.

Wang Xinjun graduated from a prestigious school and worked for the National Theater of Drama, which is the highest level of the country's performing arts troupe of the same nature as the National Symphony Orchestra. He can put down his figure and endure criticism to specialize in anti-Japanese dramas, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Experts are here, of course they have to ask for advice. I heard that Yang Shu is also interested in war dramas, and the two chatted happily.

Generally, mature studios arrange their work two or three years later, and the same is true for celebrities. For example, Sister Tao has just finished filming "Ode to Joy", which is scheduled to be broadcast in April next year, but "Ode to Joy 4" has already planned to start filming in March. At the same time, the filming of "The Great Military Advisor Sima Yi: The Military Advisor Alliance" will start, followed by the filming of the urban emotional drama "Long Live Love".

Hei Niuchen is invited to Christmas Eve today. Firstly, Yang Shu is familiar with him. The two have just collaborated in "Yesterday Park", and secondly, they also signed a contract together in "The Military Division Alliance of Sima Yi", in which Brother Hei Niu played the role of the second male Cao Pi. .

Yang Shu's work is also full of overlapping arrangements. The second season of "World's Wonderful Events" is currently on the air, and preparations for the third season have already begun, and "Love Letters from Heaven" is also being finalized.

However, the production of the third season will be completed by the end of February, and there will be no work arrangements for the next six months. Yang Shu has been considering the feasibility of the "Grandpa's War" project.

After listening to the synopsis of "Grandpa's War", Wang Xinjun shook his head: "Brother, this is not an anti-Japanese drama, but an epic blockbuster. You can't make it without investing a few hundred million."

Anti-Japanese dramas follow the short-term, low-investment, and fast-paced route of production. The plot and romance elements are relatively large, and it is not a serious narrative of history. It has a specific audience and a large number.

If you want to make a military drama like "Bright Sword", there are actually only a handful of dramas that have been successful in the past few decades. The risk is indeed huge if the investment is large.

Of course, Yang Shu has been thinking about it during this time. From an investment point of view, whether it is wise for the studio to shoot a TV series with dozens of episodes.

This decision cannot be made blindly. There is no successful model for original works. If it fails, two years of hard work will be reset.

Sister Qin also said at the same time: "The title of "Grandpa's War" is not loud enough. It has a literary and youthful flavor. It is too different from the style of anti-Japanese dramas, and it is easy to be ignored by the audience."

Yang Shu also admitted: "This is a name I came up with temporarily, and it hasn't been finalized yet."

The title of the war drama is straightforward, and the railway guerrillas and railway heroes know what they are talking about as soon as they hear it.

The Railway Guerrilla is also known as the Flying Tigers, so Jackie Chan’s movie is called the Railway Flying Tigers. There are many literary fans in the film and television circles, but the names are very straightforward and there is no tricks.

"An epic drama must be full of stars. Your brother-in-law is right. It will be a big investment and the risk is high. You are good at short dramas. It is easier to hire popular stars to shine, but an epic drama requires a few old dramas to support it." Otherwise, it is easy to collapse, you have to be mentally prepared for this."

Yang Shu was mentally prepared, so he took it out to chat with experts. So far, he has been filming the scenes with Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu as the backbone, so the cost is relatively low. This advantage will be used in "Grandpa's War". no longer exists.

For example, before he considered reciprocating and asking Jin Dong to play an important role in the play. According to his current salary market, even if he only participates in half of the plot, he can't get it without 3000 to [-] million.

Since the establishment of Wonderful Studio, the cost of all the works invested is only 3000 million.

So after getting acquainted with Luo Xue, considering various conditions, he gradually gave up the risky decision to start filming TV dramas and movies at the same time. Perhaps it would be safer to shoot a movie first to test the temperature.

The plot capacity is large, and it can be divided into two films. Even if the investment is [-] million, it is much less risky than a TV series.

If the movie is successful, then market research will be used to decide whether to start filming TV dramas with richer plots. The audiences of the two do not overlap much, so there is no need to worry too much.

Sister Tao has been busy making table settings, and at this moment she came over with a cup and asked Yang Shu, "Coffee, tea or fruit juice?"

Yang Shu nodded politely: "I have to work overtime at night, let's have a cup of coffee, thank you sister Tao."

Sister Tao smiled and handed him the glass, which was a glass of fruit juice.

"you guessed wrong."

What does it mean?Don't you mean multiple choice?
It seems that the cover-up at the door was overdone, and the lines were wrong, so she was a little concerned.

Yang Shu took a sip of the fruit juice and continued to discuss creation with the big brother, and at the same time reminded himself to pay more attention, and he must follow Sister Tao at the dinner table later, and don't make her unhappy again.
