Chapter two hundred and six protest(1/2)
"Not good, Teacher Jing Yu, come to the crew quickly!"
At six o'clock in the morning, as soon as the automatic turn-on time set by Jing Yu's mobile phone was up, Jing Yu was woken up by a call from his assistant Zhong Xiang.
“What’s the situation?”
Jing Yu looked out the window with sleepy eyes...
It wasn't dawn.
"The fans of Chess Soul are crazy... Our TV station's official website has been broken by Chess Soul fans! And outside our Modu Film and Television Base, there are also a large number of Chess Soul fans protesting outside."
"Ha?" Jing Yu suddenly fell asleep.
Half an hour later, he rode his little motorcycle to outside the film and television base...
"It's him, it's him..."
"He is Zuo Wei!"
"Yes, Teacher Jing Yu is here."
...........
There, a team of passers-by with hundreds of people suddenly surrounded Jing Yu when they saw Jing Yu.
Jing Yu was surrounded by crazy chess soul fans. Zhong Xiang, who was prepared, quickly called a group of people to help, and then pulled Jing Yu into the crew.
"That's too...so what...why are these people...so enthusiastic?" Jing Yu was still scared.
"There's no way. The 10th episode of Chess Soul last night brought too much stimulation to the audience. They know some industry trends, so they went outside the crew to block Teacher Jing Yu. In fact, there are more people waiting for you to catch Teacher Jing Yu at Yunteng TV's headquarters," said Zhong Xiang.
"Is this situation very common?" Jing Yu asked with a puzzled expression.
The ratings of Chess Soul are only 6%7%. It can be said that every quarter, there are dramas with such ratings in the big week. It is impossible for every drama to be a little unsatisfactory. Let’s do it like this, fans!
"That's definitely not!" Zhong Xiang looked at Jing Yu.
"The key point depends on the audience's attention to the plot!"
"The six major dramas have high ratings, and are more cultivated in the past. The audience is determined by the viewing habits of viewing TV stations, the popularity of the stars in the film and television dramas, and the excellence of the scripts. So even if their dramas have a splash in the later stages, this situation rarely happens... because many viewers actually don't have too much expectations for the plot at all. As long as you don't feed Xiang, he will just accept it if you lose your end. After all, you can still watch celebrity idols when the plot is ugly."
"Although the ratings and the top three dramas are at the same level, basically all fans are attracted by their excellent plots, or most fans of Chess Soul are attracted by the character Zuo Wei... The expectations for the character Zuo Wei are too high, so naturally Zuo Weiyi disappears in the plot... fans are unable to accept it."
"Teacher Jing Yu..." Zhong Xiang hesitated for a moment and then said.
"The collapsed official website was repaired by the staff before. All tens of thousands of posts were asked to return to Zuo Wei..."
When Jing Yu heard this... people fell into thinking.
Not long after, Cheng Lie also arrived at the film and television base.
"It's over, a lot of chess soul fans outside our TV station were all joking there... they were all protesting that Zuo Wei's character could not disappear."
Cheng Lie looked at Jing Yu...what he wanted to say, but he still didn't say it because he knew that he didn't need to talk about this topic.
Sure enough, at 7:30 in the morning, Minister Meng Yu called Yunteng TV.
When Jing Yu saw it, hesitated for a moment, but answered the phone.
"Little Scene!"
"Minister Meng Yu's voice is full of energy. It seems that he is in good health recently!"
"Oh, it's old man, why are you in good health? Don't talk nonsense anymore... I'll call you this time... I guess you have guessed it, I want to ask you... Can the plot of Zuo Wei in Chess Soul be changed?"
"Minister, needless to say." Jing Yu paused for a moment and then said.
"Zuo Wei's ending has been decided...it's impossible to get it back!"
"But... we are still a commercial TV station after all, so we have to consider the audience's demands!"
"Look, now the official website of the TV station is directly collapsed by fans of Chess Soul dramas. Although the fans of Chess Soul dramas from the TV station are likely to be popular for three minutes, they will leave on their own after staying calm for an hour or two... But having so many people impulsively come to the TV station to protest live, it is enough to show what the audience thinks... We cannot turn a blind eye." Meng Yu said on the phone.
Isn't it just a change of the ending... Let Jing Yu add a little more plot, such as going to a temple or Taoist temple to pray to the gods and worship Buddhas, such as the gods beat those... It's not difficult to summon Zuo Wei's character at the end to make the audience happy... It takes at most a day to shoot it.
After all, Jing Yu is the screenwriter of this drama, and everything in the contract is written very clearly. Only Jing Yu is qualified to modify the script, and Yun Teng has the right to decide that the script will not be reviewed.
"Minister Meng...do you think... a classic work can be born by pleasing the audience, or maximizing its commercial value...?" Jing Yu thought for a while and then organized the language and said.
"It's obvious, it's not right! The plots of many classic works are difficult for the audience to accept at first, but after repeated reminiscing, they can feel the touching."
"And Zuo Wei's disappearance is such a plot...it is the most important and finishing touch of the work of Chess Soul. So...I reject this request!"
On the other end of the phone... Meng Yu was stunned...
Jing Yu remembered a work from his previous life.
Slam Dunk...
The protagonists had the belief of winning the championship, but they only made it to the quarterfinals and failed regretfully, and finally finished it all, but this work has lasted for a long time in the hearts of fans.
Didn’t the slam dunk fans at that time want the protagonists to win the championship and then play the second national competition and the third national competition?
But Jing Yu believes that if the Slam Dunk plot really develops like this and has hundreds of episodes serialized, its evaluation will not be much higher than that of the tennis prince.
In fact, which slam dunk powder has been sprayed with Xiangbei and is in the quarterfinals, so this work is garbage?
Everyone just couldn't calm down... But the touching thing that should be had is a lot in their hearts and will not fade.
Similarly, the work of Chess Soul is the same.
Zuo Wei...of course he can never die, but the problem is...what does this role disappear or not disappear, what will have an impact on the show?
The protagonist of the drama "Chess Soul" is Jing Guang, not Zuo Wei!
Zuo Wei has never disappeared, so how can Jing Guang grow? He always relies on Zuo Wei to teach him chess behind his back? He will start a cheat when he has a disagreement?
He found his hand of God who had been pursuing thousands of years, which was his only obsession with existence in the world, but at the same time, he also understood at that moment... Xiaoguang, more important to him than the hand of God.
But... there is no other way! The only reason why the gods allowed him to survive was to show Xiaoguang the game of the game against Yu Xiaoyang, and then let Jingguang find the god's hand through this game.
Even though he realized that Xiaoguang was more important and being with Xiaoguang was more important than anything else, he still couldn't decide whether he would stay or not...
Among them, Zuo Wei and Xiaoguang's growth and struggle in their hearts are an important part of the later chess soul plot.
Changes...that will only change the taste of the show.
In the right place, letting this character leave casually may cause sadness, but this character can be engraved in the hearts of the audience. In order to take into account the audience's temporary emotions, the plot will eventually only make the work of Chess Soul lose its color.
"Minister Meng...the audience may find it difficult to accept this plot for a while, but please believe... only such a chess soul can make them remember this work twenty years later." Jing Yu said.
On the other end of the phone, Meng Yu was silent for a while after hearing this...
"Oh, Xiao Jing, you can do it anyway! The ratings of Chess Soul have far exceeded our imagination. In terms of results, it has completely met Taiwan's expectations for this drama... But after all, in addition to the ratings indicators, the drama "Chess Soul has various peripheral sales after the completion..."
"Those things are closely related to your future income. It is foreseeable that the soul of the chess has made a lot of money in Taiwan, so I can use this to convince the senior executives of the Taiwan area to respect your decision... But is it to change the plot and earn more by pleasing the audience, or to stick to your original idea and take a risk that may greatly reduce the subsequent commercial interests of the show... I will give this decision to you."
Meng Yu and Jing Yu have been together for so many months and understand very well, what kind of personality Jing Yu is.
Forcibly asking Jing Yu to change the plot here may make the subsequent chess souls more popular and bring greater benefits to the Taiwan, but definitely... it will also make Jing Yu feel dissatisfied and dissatisfied with Yun Teng.
The subsequent copyright value of Chess Soul and Jing Yu's future potential...
He chose the latter.
Otherwise, if you change to other screenwriters, Meng Yu is not so easy to talk to. If you ask you to change the plot, you say you won’t change it? Why are you so arrogant here? In the future, you still want to get resources to shoot a new drama in Taiwan? Just be fucked.
Jing Yu hung up the phone.
The crowd in the crew next to him looked at Jing Yu, and his expression became very strange.
That's Meng Yu, the director of Yunteng Production Department!
I reject your request!
Jing Yu said this sentence in a decisive way, too disrespectful way.
Cheng Lie was also frightened when he heard this, for fear that Jing Yu and Meng Yu would quarrel on the phone.
Fortunately, Lao Meng also understands the truth that talents always have a little arrogant personality. In exchange for other directors of the production department of the TV stations Cheng Lie knew, nine out of ten of them would be able to hold a grudge after this phone call, but Lao Meng would not...
So he is Yunteng’s director of production department!
Cheng Lie breathed a long sigh.
"Okay...Producer Cheng." Jing Yu looked at Cheng Lie.
"Let's not delay shooting!"
"Otherwise, this week... the goal of filming the second season of Chess Soul will not be completed."
"But for the fans of Chess Souls who are protesting on the Internet now... they have to calm them down... You can ask the Taiwan to announce it in the official name... As a screenwriter, will I never let Chess Souls fail?"
"I think many fans protested as disappearing because they were arranged in this way by the plot of the chess soul, which was equivalent to the unfinished view... so they had to dispel their doubts." Jing Yu said.
“This…is no problem.”
......
The next day...
Yunteng’s official website released a video shot by Jing Yu in real life.
The content is Jing Yu thanks fans for their support for the work of Chess Soul and as this character, and then...
To be continued...
