This entertainment industry is a bit strange

Chapter 315 Xiao Yang's Worries

After resting for a whole morning, Yang Rui joined the joint practice of martial arts performance.

As a laggard in the entire team, Yang Rui received "key care" from Mr. Yu.

After being severely beaten all afternoon, few parts of his body were intact, and he grimaced in pain even when he was touched.

This old man is really ruthless!

However, this beating was not in vain. After an afternoon of practice, he was basically able to keep up with the rhythm of the team, and the number of mistakes was greatly reduced.

Looking at the recording playback in the camera, he nodded in satisfaction.

Lao Zhang's stage arrangement is really trustworthy!
The only thing missing is the song!

This time, Lao Zhang was not around, and Yu Chenghui was the one to urge the song.

The old man's way of urging singers was also much more violent, beating Yang Rui to run around the room.

Finally, under the threat of the old man's sandbag fist, Yang Rui promised to release the song within three days!

After returning to the office, he took a shower and changed his clothes. Yang Rui was about to go home and write a song, but Xiao Yang suddenly came to him.

"Director Yang, are you free? Can I treat you to a meal?"

Yang Rui froze for a moment, "It's fine to eat, going out is like engaging in underground intelligence activities, it's too tiring, so let's talk about it."

Xiao Yang smiled coyly, "That's right, with your current popularity, it's really easy to suffer when you go out."

This is not yin and yang, but the truth full of envy.

Yang Rui's popularity is already good, and with the recent launch of "Sword of Heaven", his popularity and popularity have naturally increased to a higher level.

Even if the company didn't spend money on trending searches, he and Liu Yiqian have almost become regulars on the trending lists of major social platforms in the past two days.

Although it has not yet formed a large-scale circle-breaking effect, but fans of the original book, Xiao Yangshu and Xiao Baozi's fans are so solid that they can send topics to hot searches if they are not careful.

This kind of popularity and enthusiasm has made many traffic stars' eyes glow with jealousy!
After the two sat down, Yan Danchen fulfilled his duties as an assistant very dutifully, personally delivered two glasses of lemonade, and then went out to read and study while waiting for Yang Rui to get off work.

Xiao Yang didn't know the inside story yet, so he raised his eyebrows in surprise, with a question mark on his face.

"I plan to go behind the scenes, so I want to learn from me for a few days." Yang Rui simply replied,

"Damn it." Xiao Yang said directly, "Is there such a good thing? Director Yang, do you still accept male apprentices?"

"Don't play tricks." Yang Rui said angrily: "You have taken so many works with me, just have fun without asking for tuition fees!"

Xiao Yang chuckled, took a sip of lemonade and turned to the main topic: "Director Yang, I was wondering...can you expand the script of "Undocumented Crime"?"

Yang Rui's eyelids twitched, "What did you say?"

Xiao Yang didn't panic, and replied seriously: "I think the number of episodes in this drama is really too small. I thought about the script carefully, and I think there is actually a lot of content that can be expanded."

"For example, Yan Liang's past experience, his history of failed marriages, the story of him being exiled to become a police officer, the detailed experience of forensic doctor Luo Wen, and the secrets of Li Fengtian's life experience... These plots are all high-pressure situations, and a little water injection and fermentation are not enough. It will affect the quality of the play."

Yang Rui narrowed his eyes and looked directly at Xiao Yang, "Why?"

"Ah?" Xiao Yang was taken aback.

"I'll ask you why!" Yang Rui said coldly, "I didn't just give you the script yesterday. You didn't have any objections before, but now you suddenly come here to ask me to inject water. There must be a reason, right?"

Xiao Yang scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in embarrassment: "I really can't hide it from you... Then I'll say it straight, because this drama is too short, and it may affect the price of the film and the quotation for advertising placement."

"Recently, I asked a few friends to inquire about the general market situation. There are almost no TV dramas with less than 20 episodes on the market. Mini-series like ours with 12 episodes are the only ones in the Chinese entertainment industry. One copy, it is very likely that it will not be sold at that time."

"You are a director, why do you care about this?" Yang Rui was a little dissatisfied, "The director should concentrate on polishing the work, and worry about the commercial business all day long. What good things can be shot?"

After Xiao Yang hesitated to speak for a while, he boldly said: "Director Yang, you are famous now, and your angle of thinking about problems is somewhat different from ours."

"You can ignore the success or failure prospects of this show, but we are different."

"For me, this is my first directorial work; for Zhang Wei and Wang Zhi, this is their hope to reverse their acting career; I hope that I can get a wave of bonuses through this drama..."

"We can't afford to lose!"

Realizing that his emotions were a little out of control, Xiao Yang took a sip of water before continuing: "And this is not my unfounded worry. From the perspective of industry common sense, the commercial value of this kind of short play is indeed limited."

"The length of the drama is not enough, the value of advertising investment will be greatly reduced, and the small investment of advertisers will further affect the purchase price of TV stations and streaming media platforms... The worst result may even be to lose money and make money!"

Yang Rui didn't say anything for a while, because he knew Xiao Yang was telling the truth.

But on the other hand, Xiao Yang obviously didn't see the quotation in Ding Lan's hand. He can only say that he still has a little understanding of the money-absorbing ability of "Yang Rui" and "Xingqing Culture".

As long as he had seen that list, he would never risk offending his boss by saying this today.

However, these words also gave Yang Rui some extra thoughts.

After thinking for a long time, he said: "My attitude is still the same, you are not allowed to fill in the script, how to shoot or how to sell the film, you don't need to worry about commercial matters, if you really lose money in the end, I will give you red envelopes out of my own pocket. "

Xiao Yang's face changed, "Director Yang, I didn't mean that..."

"I heard that it's over." Yang Rui interrupted: "But your opinion is also very valuable. It gave me an idea - the drama is too short and lacks the value of advertising investment. We can play it in another way!"

Xiao Yang was startled when he heard this, "What method?"

"We don't use the drama as the investment promotion brand, but our producer as the investment promotion brand!" Yang Rui said with a smile: "We can guarantee to produce one or two high-quality TV dramas a year, and then use the 'Xingqing Theater' as the investment promotion brand!" Signboards receive advertising investment."

Xiao Yang was in a daze for a long time, then his eyes lighted up quietly.

"This way is good, this way is good!"

"You don't need to compromise with the market, and you don't have to worry about advertisers not taking over. It's perfect!"

Excited, Xiao Yang slapped his thigh and said, "Director Yang, you are the best, I never thought of it!"

Yang Rui chuckled, you don't know anything about cheating!
On Earth, this style of play is already common.

Familiar ones such as the continuous noon sunshine in the drama, the master of the web drama "Mist Theater"...

Once these golden signs are thrown out, there is no need to watch the quality of the drama, and the advertisers are crying and calling for investment.

This is the power of brand image!

"Okay, so I know what I'm doing." Xiao Yang stood up with a smile, "Then I'll go back to work!"

"Go." Yang Rui nodded with a smile, "This "Undocumented Crime" can be regarded as the pioneering work of our "Xingqing Theater", you have to make this first shot!"

Xiao Yang stood at attention strangely and saluted, and said loudly:

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
