Director Gu Mei is a bit good, although this time, she has a poor record in the historical-themed movies she is good at.
However, she did not act like those mindless directors who would start running around like a headless chicken once she failed.
If you don’t succeed in shooting this subject, you will immediately go to shoot other subjects. Even if you see a popular subject shot by others, you will shoot it yourself immediately.
They don't measure their abilities at all, and they don't see what is suitable for them.
Gu Dao's core is relatively stable. Although there are times when her emotions are violent, generally speaking, she knows where her strengths lie.
This is mainly due to her excellent record over the years. In the field of costume historical dramas, she has an unquestionably impressive record.
Even old Zhang Hai, who had always been at odds with her, had to admit this.
It's just so cowhide.
And this time, it can’t be said that Gu Dao didn’t learn from the mistakes he made.
She summed it up.
The main reason why Master did not achieve the expected success this time was due to two points. One was that he encountered a skin change.
Who makes skin changing more in line with the tastes of young people?
The subject matter I chose was a bit conservative, and there was nothing I could do about it.
Another point lies in the difference between movies and TV series.
Many years later, when she was filming a movie again, Gu Mei had a very profound feeling, that is, the length of the movie was indeed too small.
After all, Gu Mei has been filming TV series for too long, too long. Over the years, the TV series she has shot are often long-form.
Starting at level 30.
Calculated based on the forty minutes of a first-class TV series, the entire length of a forty-episode TV series is approximately 1,600 minutes.
What about converting to hourly format?
About thirty hours!
Thirty hours!
And what about a movie?
Even if you include longer movies, they are only two hours long at best. In other words, the length of a full-length TV series is equivalent to fifteen movies!
One can imagine how smoothly the story unfolds, with each link being able to be told clearly and clearly.
The expression is clear and you can also add many clips from the director's perspective. As a director, you have more room to play.
Over the years, his success in the field of TV dramas has actually proven that Director Gu’s shooting techniques are more suitable for filming TV dramas.
It is precisely because it is suitable for filming TV series that it can produce excellent works frequently.
These have been verified, so why should we break them?
Now Gu Mei has realized that this is completely unnecessary. If you want to make a comeback and shoot an excellent TV series, it is the same.
Why go to a field that you are not familiar with to fight fiercely?
It is better to continue to pick up the old business and make a high-quality historical TV series. As long as we can still produce good works, then the previous small failures will disappear immediately.
Few people will mention it again.
As a director, you have to shoot at least dozens of works in your lifetime. Who can guarantee that all of them will be high-quality?
Not even Lao Zhang can!
Not to mention Brother Hai.
Otherwise, how to explain the steamed buns?
Logically speaking, Brother Hai is the least qualified to laugh at Gu Mei. Gu Mei occasionally makes mistakes, but they are within the acceptable range and exist within the boundaries of people's imagination.
How different is Brother Hai...
That steamed bun is so rotten that it can no longer be expressed in words. It is beyond the scope of human cognition and has become a symbol of a generation of bad movies.
As an internationally renowned director and a great master who has been unanimously recognized and praised by film critics at home and abroad, Hai Ge has not yet reached the age of old and foolish, but he has produced works like Steamed Buns.
It's really unbelievable and a big loss of standards.
It can be seen that making bad movies is a process that every director must go through. Only by going through it can he grow, just like an old director.
In the past, her development was really smooth. In the past few years, she has frequently produced excellent works and won numerous awards. Moreover, her works have also won unanimous praise from the audience.
For a director, this is the most important thing.
As a result, after a slight defeat, she became a little confused and even decided to make a movie.
Although this movie didn't achieve the desired results, it can't be considered a bad movie and it basically maintained its basic reputation.
Gu Daosuan passed the level in a thrilling way.
Next, it’s time to re-plan and give the audience a surprise!
Therefore, Director Gu took aim at Mr. K.
We are both fallen people from the end of the world!
Sisi signed a contract with Wu Di's company and dumped her former employer. As soon as Director Gu saw the news, he immediately thought of Mr. K's situation.
That's definitely not very optimistic either.
And their common enemy is undoubtedly Wu Di.
No matter what the original intention is, the enemy is indeed the same now. So, as two women who were bullied by Wu Di at the same time, shouldn't they join forces?
At this moment, what they are doing is precisely to confront Wu Di. A plan is quietly underway where Boss Wu is completely unaware.
There doesn't seem to be anything to criticize, everyone is playing their cards right.
Since you, Wu Di, signed Sisi, whether you planned it in advance or temporarily took over for Sisi, in short, you, Wu Di, have come into contact with Mr. K's negative side.
Originally, Mr. K had some objections to Wu Di, but this time, he was even more convinced.
And what about K Sum and Gu Dao?
Although there is no external publicity yet, soon the news that the two female producers will collaborate on a TV series will spread like wildfire.
No one would deliberately hide this.
If you can cooperate, we can also cooperate.
"How about I write the script and you cast the actors?" Gu Mei gave the suggestion. Mr. K pondered for a moment, but did not immediately agree. Then, she said calmly: "If I cast the actors, there is no problem."
"However, you have also seen the situation in our company. The most popular idols in our company are young idols, all newcomers. However, your TV series, directed by Gu, are often more serious. I am worried that actors who are too young will
Can’t live.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since we want to cooperate, we need to talk about something realistic.
Don't talk too much, just say good things. When the time comes, if the project doesn't go well, you won't be the one who will be harmed?
Gu Mei nodded slightly, but did not deny it: "I know this situation. I also have my own team. I know that your company's weakness lies in the weak foundation of the actor team. I can help you make up for this."
"I can help you recruit some golden supporting actors, so that the foundation of this TV series can be enhanced."
"As for the protagonist, naturally I will choose it from my side, but you also need to find two or three suitable young actors to play the main supporting roles."
"Since I'm looking for you to cooperate with this TV series, my purpose is very clear. It can't be too formal, and it doesn't have to follow the traditional model. It has to have some youthful flavor. What I want to do is a new history for young people.
Serious drama.”
"do you understand?"
"I understand, what about the hero and heroine?"
"What is the approximate age range?"
"About thirty years old."
"As you said, it's still a bit difficult if you are too young. Even though the script I chose this time is relatively young, what we have to do is still a serious drama. The kind that only has the experience of participating in idol dramas is still not enough.
."
"You still need to worry more about this aspect."
"As for the actress, I do have a suitable one. She is basically around thirty years old. Of course, the age in the TV series is still set at twenty-five. I haven't thought of a male actor who is very suitable."
"Look over there..."
Director Gu looked at Mr. K expectantly, and Mr. K suddenly rolled his eyes: "You really got it right!"
"have!"
"I really have a suitable candidate here!"
"Yeah?"
"That's great!"
"Then let's take action immediately in the next few days!"
Hearing that Mr. K really had a suitable candidate, Gu Mei's eyes lit up and he was gearing up to take action.
Mr. K was a little vague.
"Director Gu, just wait a minute. I have a new TV series that was just filmed and the post-production has not been completed yet. Once it is sold, I will start preparations immediately."
The so-called selling, of course, means selling it to the TV station.
The profit model of a TV series is like this. For actors, as long as the remuneration goes into their pockets, it is considered a profit.
After that, whether the TV series was completed, sold, or aired on time has nothing to do with the big stars.
Anyway, they made money.
And what about the producers?
If you want to make a profit, you must sell the TV series, whether it is sold to a TV platform or an online platform, the most important thing is to sell it.
This price is the benefit that the producer can get.
As for platforms, how do they make money?
Of course it depends on advertising!
Therefore, you can see that in the era when TV stations were booming, viewers often complained that the more popular TV series, the more advertisements were inserted.
Many times, it is not an advertisement in a TV series, but an advertisement in a TV series.
Advertising also has different price points, and this price point is, of course, determined by the way the advertisement appears.
The most expensive thing is naturally the naming advertisement. If an entire TV series or a theater within a period of time is named by one manufacturer, then the naming manufacturer will naturally have the greatest publicity effect.
Correspondingly, naming fees are also the most expensive among all types of advertising.
In addition, there are also mid-roll ads and pre-roll ads. The cost of these two types of ads is about the same, because this part of the ads is generally something that viewers will not intentionally skip.
As long as they follow this TV series, they will see these advertisements, so the publicity effect is also good.
So, which type of advertising is the cheapest?
Of course it’s the commercials at the end and the commercials between the two episodes!
One is that the ending song has to be recorded, so many viewers will not care about what is to be broadcast next, and the commercials between the two episodes are often skipped by the viewers naturally.
Some are distracted to do other things, such as going to the toilet, and some are just operating the remote control to change TV stations to see what other stations are broadcasting at this time.
The ratings during this period are the worst. Correspondingly, the publicity effect of advertising is also the worst, and the price of advertising fees is naturally the lowest.
So, you see, there are so many ways to play with just one advertisement in a TV series. It can be seen that as long as the TV station can recruit enough advertisers, it is easy to make money.
And now, what position is Mr. K in?
Just the spot for a producer!
If she wants to make money, she has to sell TV series.
If she couldn't sell it, she really couldn't do anything.
Gu Mei expressed her understanding, although she seemed to have never encountered such a problem before, and this was completely normal.
In the past, when she was still filming TV series, they were all on Capital TV's prime time slot, and she was unstoppable.
When will she need to worry about sales for her TV series?
This is something that doesn't need to be considered at all.
As for the subsequent filmmaking, it was a huge spectacle at the outset. Although the final box office results were not satisfactory, that was only from the perspective of director Gu.
However, from the perspective of onlookers, although the movie's reputation is not that explosive, it is still passable overall.
There are also highlights in some plots, and the overall filming can be considered to be relatively historical, which is much better than the colorful and colorful films made in recent years that completely disrespect historical facts and claim to be historical.
From this aspect, Master has still received some praise.
The entire film was shot with a certain pre-Qin simplicity, which cannot be faked.
So, it didn't take long for Director Gu to get out of the Master's trap.
Since the new exploration is unsuccessful, wouldn’t it be the end if we continue to follow the old path?
Is it still impossible to get through?
Although we are still following the old path, we still need to make corresponding adjustments. Gu Mei also realizes that the times are different now. Although TV series that are too traditional can receive praise, it is difficult to have a greater impact on the public level.
.
As a well-known director in the prime of life, Gu Mei still wants to attract the attention of some young people.
Therefore, she planned to add new spices to the old story, starting from the storyline to the cast.
The cooperation with Mr. K came into being.
As for Mr. K, this goes without saying.
She is now eager to make a bigger name and get rid of the negative impact of Sisi's departure on the company. The most important thing is to prove that if you leave Sisi, I can do the same.
Then, a work with higher standards is what it should be.
If it wants to explode, it must explode in a big way.
Let Sisi see it, let those who look down on her see it, let everyone witness it with their own eyes, she can still make cakes without eggs!
Mr. K is eager to release a masterpiece of TV series, and with the cooperation of director Gu, she doesn't have to worry.
One, of course, is the team. Director Gu’s team is the most original and pure drama team.
Such an excellent team is simply a dream for Mr. K. In the past, she could not save it even if she risked her life.
Nowadays, a big director comes to your doorstep without any effort and wants to work together. How could you miss such a God-given opportunity?
