China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 91: Ming’s Contract, China’s Supporting Role (Sixth update!! Please order first!!)
"What kind of drama can test people's IQ? Your news is so nonsense. I have been watching TV for 20 years and there is no TV drama that I have not understood."

Netizens on the Internet were outraged by the news and commented. They were not convinced. What happened to the Oscar-winning director?
How come the TV series is not acted by human beings?
"It's hard to say. Don't forget about "Suspect". We were kicked out of a movie by Guan Ling."

There are also people who suspect that Guan Ling has a criminal record when it comes to deceiving the audience.

In this way, "Ming Dynasty 1566" only took a short time to become popular on the Internet through several major Internet events such as Oscar director Guan Ling winning the award, bombarding Huayi, and project casting.

The publicity effect came out, and Liu Heping's face was filled with smiles.

Zhang Li was also happy, "My junior brother is so awesome. With just a few words, the whole internet is talking about our drama!"

"I'm happy that this drama will not be buried." Liu Heping said, "As a screenwriter, I know exactly what the problems are with this drama, but I don't want to change it. If I change it to something like "Kangxi Dynasty", the drama will The soul of the characters in it is gone.”

Lingyun Media's promotion is very direct, but very effective. Relying on the popularity of the whole network against Huayi, the popularity of this drama has been directly promoted to the highest peak!

"Director Guan is too busy, and subsequent publicity cannot be frequent. We still follow his request and take a few steps, mainly analyzing and explaining the TV in academia, professional forums, and the most popular forums on the Internet. Let the whole people participate in the analysis of the script." Liu Heping believed that Guan Ling's previous method was completely correct.

He is a screenwriter, but the reading comprehension of each line has to be done and tested by netizens.

"Okay, anyway, our crew will cooperate with all kinds of publicity."

The popularity of "The Ming Dynasty" caused CCTV to react quickly and start charging advertising fees. The advertising fees doubled between two episodes, and investors continued to flock to it.

However, Fang Ping represented Ling Yun, and the cooperation with CCTV was different from other TV series. Guan Ling's asking price was too high and CCTV did not want to pay it. However, the current TV station still buys out the copyright, so it went through many rounds of negotiations.

The two parties signed a short-term contract, which was considered a bet, but the bet was not on the rate of return, but on the copyright cycle. The contract stated that the single episode copyright was sold for 20+20, and the copyright was for three years.

But if the ratings exceed 2.5%, CCTV will only have one round of premiere rights and one round of rebroadcast rights. After the TV broadcast is completed, the copyright will belong to Lingyun Media, and it can re-select partners.

The money is equivalent to only charging 20 for a single episode, and the total sales are less than 1000 million.

However, the copyright was held by CCTV for three years.

This method is very novel, and CCTV also understands that it is preparing to lay eggs by borrowing chickens.

But for them, there is no harm at all. If the ratings really exceed 2.5%, CCTV's advertising revenue will be hundreds of millions. The cost of less than 1000 million is almost equivalent to pure prostitution.

Moreover, the director, producer, and screenwriter of this TV show were all previous partners of CCTV, and Guan Ling also had a good relationship with CCTV.The cooperation was finally finalized.

If it really becomes popular by then, the profits it can bring to CCTV will be huge!

But now that the Internet is so popular, CCTV is a little panicked, feeling pain and happiness, crying while making money, because it is so popular, they seem to have become the hen that was borrowed to lay eggs!

If the TV series really requires watching it many times before it can be understood as stated online, then the broadcasting rights for the later rounds seem to be the most profitable.

As for CCTV, the contract has been signed!Now I can only watch.

CCTV is already discussing internally, wanting to intercept Hu, re-sign the contract, and pay a high price.However, Lingyun Media's response was that they could negotiate with CCTV to re-sign the contract after the broadcast, which made it clear that they were waiting for a price.

Lingyun Media is not very afraid. Currently, CCTV still has a certain bottom line and will not resort to falsifying ratings to block copyrights. Moreover, the popularity on the Internet does not exceed 2.5%, and no one can believe it.

........."Guanzi, Sister Hua asked me to give you a message. She wants Xia Yu and Li Xiaolu to try to participate in your new Hollywood drama. Just show their faces. Let's see if that's okay?"

At the wine table, Guan Ling and a few friends were eating. At the table were Zhu Yawen, Liu Yifei, Zhang Songwen, Zhou Wei, and Luo Jin. Most of them were actors among the uninvited guests, and they were also classmates from Nortel.

Guan Ling was used to being conceited and submissive to others in the circle, and Guan Ling didn't bother to participate in too many social activities. It was good to hang out with his classmates.

Zhu Yawen's words are actually quite normal. They are all in the circle, so they must inevitably be immersed in these things. He really can't completely ignore the tasks Wang Jinghua gave him.

"Xia Yu can do it, Li Xiaolu, let's forget it." Guan Ling didn't give up, "But there won't be many scenes, and this drama is still based on the United States."

Guan Ling is responsible for the investment.

Xia Yu's character, the People's Liberation Army soldier at the beginning, was pretty good.

But the line is just one line, "The party and the government will definitely help everyone rebuild their homes." But the background changed from earthquake to flood.

Xia Yu can act if she likes it, and forget it if she doesn't.There are many people with the right image.

Guan Ling made some adjustments to the parts of the script involving China, mainly from the perspective of ship builders, giving some Chinese people a chance to show up.

In the previous life, it was the Americans who proposed building the Ark. People who wanted to board the ship used Euros, but there were very few Asian faces on the ship.

Even when the ship's gears were stuck, it was still Americans who repaired the ship.

Guan Ling's main adjustment was to slightly add a few minutes of the engineer's role. This role was assigned to Zhu Yawen, and in order to let Jingtian come in, Zhu Yawen was given the role of a younger sister.

When the People's Liberation Army at the border did not allow the protagonist to enter the country, they needed two Asian faces. These two roles have not yet been decided. Guan Ling is planning to give points to Guang Guang and Bona. If they want the role of an old lady, it is okay.

That’s just a few dozen seconds of footage.

In fact, Guan Ling has thought carefully about this aspect. He wants to include China's attitude towards disasters, just like the Wandering Earth, to show the completely different values ​​​​of the Chinese and the United States.

For the protagonist Cheng Long, he flew to XZ from the United States for his family.

But China itself has countless families. What should we do when faced with disasters?
The best way is to have a Chinese face on the big ship to have a spiritual collision with the United States. In this section, Guan Ling added a role to distinguish the wealthy European and American people on the ship from the Chinese.

Guan Ling's final choice was that the Chinese were the big ships drawn by lot. One in hundreds of thousands, Zhu Yawen won the lottery, but he wanted to keep his family alive, so he took the risk.

The Chinese representatives on the ship had to argue with the European and American leaders when they were not prepared to let outsiders board the ship, and said that those Chinese people who did not win the lottery never gave up with the full support of the national leaders. Hope of survival, and who are you to judge the life and death of those outside?Even if those people come here with money!
Dr. Adrian echoed.

In this way, the plot will be smooth.

And Guan Ling needs this role as a representative of China.

This supporting role must be heroic, able to suppress people, definitely older, and have leadership qualities.
