On Wednesday, while the crew of Jing Yuzhao was filming Zuo Wei's plot, they finally received news from the station from Cheng Lie.

"The production of the second season of Chess Soul has been confirmed. Taiwan's preliminary budget is to invest 55 million in Chess Soul."

As soon as Cheng Lie came to the set, he told Jing Yu who was doing makeup the news.

"Are you sure?" Jing Yu showed a hint of happiness on his face.

Although it goes without saying that Yunteng TV Station would definitely agree to such a thing as long as it didn't have the brains to show off, but after confirming Hou Jingyu, he was relieved.

As for the investment of 55 million, compared with the ratings of Chess Spirit and the number of performers, it is a little less, but it is more than enough. The TV station is not stupid. The higher your ratings, the second season will be useless.

Increase investment wisely.

There are no heavyweight movie stars in the drama "Chess Soul", and there are no big scenes. In terms of conformity, except for Jing Yu, everyone else only needs to be in formal clothes or casual clothes. The filming locations are mostly schools or indoors.

Commonly used props for photography are chessboards and chess pieces that cost a few hundred yuan per set.

The investment of 55 million for the second season of such a drama is already very exaggerated...

Jing Yu is now a high-output, low-investment screenwriter among the top management of Yunteng TV. Compared with those crews who hire thousands of extras for a drama and charter flights to fly thousands of miles for one shot,

The cost of Jing Yu's drama is indeed very cost-effective.

"So Teacher Jingyu, you also need to think about where the first season of the show "Chess Soul" will end."

Cheng Lie only knew that Jing Yu wanted to make the work Soul of Chess into at least two seasons, but he didn't know much about the specific follow-up plot, so he also reminded Jing Yu.

When Jing Yu heard this, he thought for a while.

Strictly speaking, the original comic of "Chess Soul" did not end normally, because the comic contained a plot in which a chess player from the Kimchi Kingdom of Peninsula was defeated by the protagonist, and was frantically reported and complained by the people of the Kimchi Country. In addition, the author designed Zuo Wei to disappear.

The plot of the game has caused the popularity of this work to drop a lot. Considering all things considered, Chess Soul was asked by the comic serial company to end it quickly.

In comparison, the animation has seventy-five episodes, and the ending is handled very well. When Hikaru has grown enough to compete with Ryo, the story ends abruptly, without telling the outcome of the two, but leaving an open-ended

ending.

So Jing Yu, who was initially attracted by the Chess Soul animation, was forced to make up for the ending of the comic because of the unsatisfactory ending of the animation. It was only after he was even more upset that he discovered that it was the animation production team that was more gentle...

But no matter what, Jing Yu still plans to streamline the work of Qi Soul to about two seasons, that is, to complete it within twenty-six episodes.

Because some plots in the later period have no effect on promoting the main plot, those plots should be streamlined appropriately, focusing on making the plot of Jing Guang and Yu Liang's professional Go journey more coherent. Of course, the number of episodes is limited, but each episode is only as long as Jing Yu

You can adjust it by yourself. In fact, it can be anything from forty minutes to an hour or more. Although it is streamlined, it is not too much. Judging from the popularity of Chess Soul, the TV station hopes that the evening episode of Chess Soul will be broadcast longer and more.

Sell ​​some advertising space.

"I understand." Jing Yu nodded.

"And...after today's scene is finished, there will be no scenes for you, Mr. Jing Yu, in this week's filming of the series. In the next two days, Mr. Jing Yu can enjoy playing in the Magic City.

, wait until Friday night, someone will go to your residence to help you put on makeup, and then on Saturday, the exchange meeting organized by Qimu Sports will officially start at 8 a.m., and Teacher Jing Yu must be prepared." Cheng Lie said.

"I understand." Jing Yu took a long breath.

"I can't help but waste two days going to the event to be the mascot. I understand, there is no need to remind me again and again."

"Mascot? That's not just that." Cheng Lie looked at Jing Yu and smiled.

"Although the organizer of the event wants to rely on the popularity of Teacher Jingyu and Zuo Wei to increase the popularity of the event... Teacher Jingyu, you must also consider the situation of our Chess Soul crew."

"What do you mean?" Jing Yu asked.

"Although you are only an actor, Mr. Jing Yu, you are now the invincible Zuo Wei in the hearts of the audience, and you still go to the scene dressed as Zuo Wei... If you lose easily, the fans will be sad."

"Uh..." Jing Yu was stunned when he heard this.

Indeed, he is not in y Fujiwara Sawei, the work Soul of the Game, from the first episode to the present, and even in the next five, ten, twenty years, as long as all fans think of this character, they will be the first to

It just showed his face, Jing Yu.

In the minds of Dazhou audiences, he is Zuo Wei.

He could imagine the blow to chess fans if a person who always thought he was Zuo Wei was ruthlessly tortured by various people at a Go exchange meeting.

"But if I remember correctly... this event seems to involve inviting a bunch of people and having a two-day game. You will always lose!" Jing Yu had a weird expression.

Instead, he redeemed a large experience package for Go playing skills from the panel. He basically understood that his current level of Go was very strong, but how strong, who knew?

Anyway, the organizer invited dozens of people to go, one or two of them were definitely the top players in the chess community around the world, and they also invited official media to conduct a live broadcast. Jing Yu didn't think that the exchange panel was a god, as long as the things exchanged were

You can make yourself number one in the world.

When you meet a top chess player, you will most likely lose... I haven't played against those people, so Jing Yu doesn't know for sure, but in short, I must be mentally prepared for this.

"Losing is definitely inevitable. Two 9th-dan Go players and four professional Go players from 5th-dan to 8th-dan are among the 64 invited participants. The outcome of the game is binary. There are six games in two days.

By the time of the third game, there are only eight people left. There is a high probability that there will be six professional players and two members of the passerby exchange meeting. By the time of the fourth game, there should be only four professional players left.

.....so basically

As long as I can win two out of six games and squeeze into the top sixteen, I believe that Qihun fans will be satisfied. If I can win three games and squeeze into the top eight... then Teacher Jingyu, fans

I absolutely adore you and cheer for you, and the official media will definitely report this matter. Our Yunteng TV station will also specially set aside a time to broadcast your game live to increase the popularity of the drama Soul of Chess...

." Cheng Lie said with a smile.

The point is to be stylish!

The Go dramas of our TV station are very sophisticated. They are not just playing chess blindly in the dramas. The screenwriters of our station are all professional chess players. Yunteng asked Jing Yu to participate in this event because he wanted to convey this concept to the audience.

Chess Soul fans, improve the quality of this drama.

"You said it very lightly. What if I don't win a game of chess?" Jing Yu rolled his eyes.

"How is that possible? Teacher Jing Yu, didn't you win fourteen games of chess in a row with our crew's consultant Li Le? Li Le is a professional fifth-dan player. Teacher Jing Yu, if you can win so many times in a row, you must be at least one level better than him."

.....Then how could it be possible to lose miserably in the first game?" Cheng Lie said.

"What if we meet those six professional chess players at the beginning? For example, one of the two ninth-dan players?" Jing Yu said.

"Teacher Jingyu, try your best to play as many moves as possible with them. It is best to play more than two hundred moves. I will arrange it then!"

"Shocking!!! Jing Yu, the gold medal screenwriter of Yunteng TV, fought fiercely with a professional nine-dan chess player for more than 200 moves, and once forced the opponent into a desperate situation. However, due to his experience in playing chess, he was not as good as the professional chess player, so he lost..."

"I have already thought of the title. If it is true as you said, this press release will be broadcast on the Yunteng TV news program." Cheng Lie read out a long paragraph seriously.

Jing Yu was silent after hearing this...

"What a pity." After a long while, Jing Yucai said in a strange tone.

"What's the pity?"

"It's a pity that Dazhou doesn't have a mobile browser software called uc."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"There is no future as a film and television drama producer! Producer Cheng, you can go to the UC Shock Department to apply for a job as an editor!"

"???", Cheng Lie.
