The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 380 "The Voice", "If You Are the One", "Where Are We Going, Dad"

There are two main filming locations for "Assembly", one is Wuyuan and the other is Dongdong.

The filming of the scene in Wuyuan has already been finished, and the production team is in Judong at this time.

Li Shengyao got the script of "Assembly Number" that night, and he read it overnight, and then he and Chen Xun took a plane the next day and went to Dongdong, Liao Province together.

In the afternoon of the same day, they took the commercial vehicle dedicated to the crew and arrived at the hotel next to the studio.

It is said that Xiao Gang Pao came over last night. Li Shengyao was very interested in the shooting of war scenes. He did not rest, and immediately took Chen Xun to the set of "Assembly".

"Hi Director Li, you look younger and younger."

"Director Li, congratulations, "Taken" is a big hit."

"Sister Chen Xun, you and Director Li are really a match made in heaven."

The two came to the set and met Zhang Hanyu, Deng Chao, and Ren Quan. Everyone looked very tired, but when they saw Li Shengyao and Chen Xun, they all had a very good attitude, with a smile on their faces, sincere and kind.

Li Shengyao smiled and nodded, greeting the actors.

Soon after, Liu Heng, the screenwriter of "Assembly Number", came over. He looked about 50 years old, with thin hair on his head, and looked kindly, like an uncle next door.

Seeing Li Shengyao, Liu Heng had a smile on his face, but he was somewhat embarrassed.

Li Shengyao actually understood Liu Heng's mentality.

After all, he is less than half of Liu Heng's age. He is a famous screenwriter and writer, so naturally he doesn't want to point out a young man with a script he wrote.

But understanding is understanding. Since Li Shengyao agreed to do this job, he will naturally do it seriously.

"Assembly" sewed up some of the plots of "Saving Private Ryan" and "Soldiers Under the Citadel", but what fans criticized the most was a lot of military common sense in the movie, and they all got it wrong.

Many netizens commented that Liu Heng is a military blind.

Li Shengyao wasn't sure if Liu Heng was military blind, but he probably didn't know much.

He can make correct changes in this regard, and he can make the assembly number more perfect.

In addition, the prototype of "Assembly Number" is to reflect the will of the soldiers. If they don't hear the clarion call to retreat, they would rather die than retreat.

But the movie is more entangled in finding the truth in Guzi, as if the regiment department deceived the male protagonist and a group of people.

This is also a point that has been criticized by the majority of netizens.

In these two aspects, Li Shengyao will seriously discuss with Feng Xiaogang.

Then he came to the shooting place, quietly sat on the side, watching Feng Xiaogang's shooting quietly.

At night, Feng Xiaogang held a reception banquet for Li Shengyao.

After drinking and eating, Feng Xiaogang couldn't wait to ask Li Shengyao about the script. What Li Shengyao said was a common-sense mistake.

A group of actors were also there, and they were all very surprised when they heard this.

They didn't expect that the play they acted had so many loopholes.

Feng Xiaogang was very excited. He invited Li Shengyao to come, isn't it just to check and make up for the omissions?
But I didn't expect Director Li to have such strength in war movies, which is really admirable.

"Director Li, you're amazing. Let me offer you a toast."

"Should be."

Feng Xiaogang raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. What he drank was baijiu. After drinking, his face, which was sickly pale before, became more rosy.

He looked at Li Shengyao, and the more he watched, the more satisfied he was, "Director Li, this time it's up to you."

"Where, the most important role in the movie is you, and then the screenwriters and actors. I just do some small things to patch up."

Feng Xiaogang sighed, "If you don't come, I really have no idea. Once you come and sit next to me, my confidence has increased several times."

……

January 2007 passed quickly, and February came quietly.

The weather in Yanjing was still very cold, and it snowed a little the night before yesterday.

But the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and despite the cold, there are still many people on the streets outside.

Li Shengyao had already returned to Yanjing from Dongdong.

He pointed out all the points he knew about the mistakes of "Assembly".

Some can be corrected, and some cannot be modified.

Li Shengyao also talked with Feng Xiaogang about the theme of the film, Feng Xiaogang listened to it, and said that he would seriously revise it.

When Li Shengyao returned to Yanjing, he once again led a busy life like before.

There were dinners of all kinds, and there were a lot of movie premieres, and a lot of human contact.

Some are new friends, some are old friends.

At 2007 o'clock in the morning on February 2, 4, in the box on the third floor of Landmark Hotel, Li Shengyao met three old friends.

These three people are Zhou Yu, Jiang Chunming, and Zhong Dahui.

Among them, Jiang Chunming was an old acquaintance he had known for six years.

As he became more and more busy and stopped filming TV series, the communication with the three of them gradually decreased.

But during the holidays, they still greet each other.

In addition, Fenghua has been cooperating with the three David TVs represented by the three of them.

Not only co-produced dramas, but many self-produced dramas of Shonan Satellite TV will also be handed over to Fenghua for promotion. Their cooperation has not become alienated, but has become closer.

Now Shonan Satellite TV is undoubtedly the number one local satellite TV, leaving Yanjing Satellite TV far behind.

Shanghai Satellite TV and Suzhou Satellite TV have also risen.

However, these three people came to visit together, and Li Shengyao was somewhat surprised.

"Director Li, you are really the best young man I have ever seen. I have never seen a talent like you."

Looking at Li Shengyao, Jiang Chunming was filled with emotion when he thought of the unknown little director six years ago.

Zhong Dahui and Zhou Xuan were also deeply moved.

Not long after, everyone was full of wine and food, and Zhou Xuan gave Jiang Chunming a wink.

Only then did Jiang Chunming say: "Director Li, the three of us are here this time. Apart from meeting you as an old friend, we also want to talk to you about something."

"You said."

"It's like this. You are a genius. The ideas you came up with are very popular. Can you help us dumb-headed people to come up with some ideas for variety shows? Of course, if Fenghua has related variety shows, we will pay for them. "

Li Shengyao smiled lightly upon hearing this.

Fenghua now has a variety show, "Run, Brother", whose members are Hu Ge, Yuan Hong, Wang Kai, Shen Teng, and Wan Qian.

There is one season every year, and it is played at the beginning of each year. From the first season to the present, three seasons have passed.

Zhejiang Satellite TV is very face-saving. It didn't make money in the early stage, and it spent 1000 million to buy the broadcasting rights.

At the beginning, ordinary people were not used to outdoor variety shows, but as three years passed, "Run, Brother" became more and more popular.

The average ratings of the third season have reached three points, which is even higher than that of "Happy Camp".

In Fenghua Video's "Run, Brother", each episode has tens of millions of broadcasts and a lot of comments.

In the fourth season of "Run, Brother" in 2007, it is said that Zhejiang Satellite TV's naming fee has been sold to 2000 million.

It can be said that this variety show has finally risen.

Nowadays, many movies, TV series, and promotions for newcomers, singers will look for "Run, Brother" when releasing a new album.

Like Hu Ge, Wang Kai is especially popular among young people because of this variety show, which is a bit like a national niche.

Hu Ge didn't play Immortal Sword, but he was more popular than Li Shengyao in his previous life.

Under such circumstances, it is normal for Shonan Satellite TV and Shanghai City Satellite TV to have ideas.

Li Shengyao happened to have some ideas that could be promoted.

Anyway, they all copied "Run, Brother", so there is no reason to let the other variety shows go.

Especially several variety shows whose copyrights can be harvested all over the world.

Just like "The Voice of China", the copyright of this program is "The Voice of Helan". The first season only started in 2010, and it has been sold in more than [-] countries around the world.

Just relying on this copyright fee is a huge income.

There is also "If You Are the One". The original copyright of this program was Australia's "Take Out", and it was also sold in more than [-] countries.

If such a variety show is not copied, it is really unreasonable.

Li Shengyao then nodded, "Fenghua happened to have some ideas. I will establish a new department called the Variety Department. After the Lunar New Year, I will shoot related variety shows. At the latest in July, I can let you watch it as a movie." , When the time comes, you can see if there is anyone who can sleep a wink, if so, we can cooperate."

He plans to let the company's newly established Variety Department produce "Run, Brother", and prepare to produce "The Voice of China", "If You Are the One", "Where Are We Going, Dad", and "Longing for Life" .

Among them, "The Voice of China", "Longing for Life", and "Where Are We Going, Dad" are all seasons.

And "If You Are the One" can be played every week for a whole year.

In his previous life, "If You Are the One" was the number one variety show in ratings for a long time.

Get it out now, and you should be able to make money.

The three of Zhong Dahui were very happy when they heard this.

Zhou Xuan was the first to raise his wine glass and touched Li Shengyao, "Director Li, let me tell you that there is nothing in this world that is difficult for you. Don't worry, the three of us will definitely buy it."

All three admired Lee Sheng Yew's creativity and market acumen.

The film and television dramas and variety shows produced by Li Shengyao did not lose money.

Zhong Dahui and Jiang Chunming followed suit.

"Director Li, the strengths of the three of us are all there. If Fenghua's variety show comes over, it will be a strong alliance, and it will definitely shine."

"Yes, Director Li, Fenghua will definitely be better, and so will we."

Li Shengyao listened with a smile, but he was thinking about other variety shows in his mind.

In his previous life, Peninsula had many variety shows, but many of them were not necessarily suitable for mainland China.

"Big Detective" and "Chinese Restaurant" are good, but other than that, everything else is average.

He actually likes "Extreme Challenge" very much, but this show has a lot of topics, but the ratings are not very good. It can't compare with "Run, Brother".

In addition, "Extreme Challenge" has a lot of intrigues, which is not in line with the Harmonious Society/Society, and he has rectified many times in his previous life.

It doesn't seem to work...no...it's necessary to push it out.

Even if the ratings are mediocre, don't leave it to the peninsula.

Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it is launched, and the copyright is determined first.
