Chapter 118 Be the director of a dog-blood drama to write the script
"Ah? The ratings are over 10? I'm delighted that you two are also assistant directors. Besides, I mainly focus on acting. The results of today's results are all thanks to you two personally doing the filming~~~"
After they finished complimenting each other, Zhang Hong hung up on Sun Zheng and planned to continue discussing the script with Li Hua, Linchuan and the others.
But the others were obviously not as calm as him.
"What's going on, Brother Hong?! The ratings have exceeded 10?! It's only been two episodes! I only remember the ratings for last year's Spring Festival Gala"
As participants, Wang Ye and the others were naturally very excited.
As a latecomer, Li Hua also has more enthusiasm and longing in his eyes.
Even Lin Muqing, who had always been calm, had a smile on his face.
As long as Zhang Hong is still so indifferent.
No, he even had a dark face: "Is that true? That's true! What's there to say about past achievements? Are you just going to rest on your laurels and wait to die? Forget about that, let's hurry up and study the script of the next drama!
"
It's okay if I don't mention it, but he gets angry when "Flags of Our Fathers" is mentioned.
Are you going to shout if the ratings exceed ten?
Of course it’s very loud!
But the crux of the matter is, Zhang Hongte didn’t make any money!
Not only did he not make any money, he also lost all the money he earned!
Only a few hundred thousand were left to feed these gang of copycat leaders who were living on empty wages.
It is said that TV drama directors are pursuing ratings, but in the final analysis, aren’t they still doing it for money?
Because the ratings are high, TV stations can rely on this high ratings and high market share during the same time period to raise advertising bids.
Of course, this is not a big problem for CCTV.
Then what?
Because the TV series you as a director can produce have high ratings, more capital will be willing to invest in your movies in the future, and more TV stations will be willing to pay high prices to buy your TV series.
I didn’t know it a few decades ago, but isn’t this the purpose of everyone’s pursuit of ratings now?
According to the theory of "no profit equals loss", how much money did Zhang Hong lose here?
Besides, he really lost millions.
And you guys.
I pay you a salary because you are here to shock me and praise me?
Then I don’t even need to look for you. There are so many guys praising me, Zhang, for free online!
No need to pay yet!
As for the headlines and hot searches in the past two days, eight out of ten are related to Zhang, me! Did I stuff money?
Tsk.
Use my popularity to increase traffic, you really have it! Weibo! Headlines!
Patting the table, Zhang Hong urged: "Don't say that there is some, but hurry up and take a look at the script of the second case! This is written by Brother Li, let everyone experience it."
With that said, he passed a copy of the script to everyone.
The plot is about a family ethics murder case and a secret room murder case.
It tells the story of a wealthy family of three, the housekeeper, a maid, and her mother who were all wiped out.
But the truth behind this is...
The lady said that the maid seduced the master and the young master, and then she beat the maid.
When I was about to hit him again, the maid stood up.
As a result, during the quarrel, the master appeared and found out that the maid mother was his first love.
And the maid is the master's biological daughter.
But the maid is also the secret lover of the frail and sick young master.
Unable to bear the blow, the maid tripped when she ran out and hit her head on the corner of the table.
dead.
The wife made a fuss, and the master slapped her.
In the end, the key came out and it turned out that he was having an affair with his wife.
The young master wanted to get angry and hit the housekeeper, but his wife revealed that the housekeeper was the real father of the young master.
The old man couldn't bear the blow and had a heart attack.
dead.
The wife went to persuade her son, but when the son shook his hand, the wife hit her head on the corner of the cabinet.
dead.
The young master accidentally lost his parents and suffered a heart attack according to his ancestors.
dead.
The key was unable to bear the shock that his lover and biological son were both dead, so he banged his head on the corner of the cabinet.
committed suicide.
The maid mother wanted to see how the master was doing, but she tripped and hit her head on the corner of the table.
dead...
Then, it became a serial secret room murder case, and the two protagonists played by Lin Chuan and Luo Jun came to investigate the case.
After reading it, Zhang Hong felt no fluctuation in his heart and even wanted to laugh.
He raised his head and looked at Li Hua expressionlessly.
Li Hua scratched the back of his head, proud and proud, "Ashamed, I just combined my previous ability to write urban bloody dramas with suspense reasoning to write this secret room murder case."
Zhang Hong: "..."
Ah? You're quite proud, aren't you?
Zhang Hong glanced around and motioned for others to speak.
Seeing the hint in Zhang Hong's eyes, Wang Ye looked back to express his understanding.
He rubbed his chin and spoke first: "I think...it's pretty good."
Zhang Hong's eyes widened.
What are you talking about?
Seeing that Brother Hong expressed his acquiescence with a calm expression, Wang Ye continued, "Isn't this very good? Brother Hong also said that our main style is light-hearted and humorous, and we also want to subvert the traditional model of criminal investigation mystery dramas.
.
This case is ridiculous and funny enough, and it fits our needs perfectly. So, why not?"
Zhang Hong calmed down, thought carefully, savored, and then...
He felt like there was nothing wrong with him!
"Then the question comes." Zhang Hong asked the last question, "How to solve this case?"
This is indeed a problem.
You can't just present the case but not solve it.
I spoke to Ms. Wu Ning, a former wedding makeup artist, former funeral home undertaker, current makeup artist on the production team, and one of the leaders of the copycat.
Her voice was as cold as ice: "Brother Hong, what is the purpose of solving the case?"
"In the TV series or in reality?" He opened his mouth and asked, but Zhang Hong didn't dwell on it. "In reality, it must be to maintain social security and stability, give the prisoners the punishment they deserve, and give the victims the justice they deserve. Is this in the TV series?
..."
He paused and said, "For fun."
"Cool?"
"Yeah, to be polite is to show off to others, but to be blunt, it's just to show off." Zhang Hong shrugged, "Why is the protagonist the protagonist? Because he is better than others. Put it in criminal investigation.
In mystery films, of course, the two protagonists can solve the case that cannot be solved."
"But it's actually to give the audience an acceptable reason, and to advance the plot."
As expected, Miss Wu Ning is also a deviant. She said lightly: "Then why do you need a murderer?"
"For example..." She tilted her head slightly, "There were prisoners who escaped in previous cases, but the protagonists couldn't arrest them because they had no evidence, so why not frame them? For example, they have discovered that it was an accident.
Several people died, but in order to find some conspiracy behind the murderer of the previous case, they simply alerted the snake and tainted this case on him.
Then I have an excuse to arrest the person. Once I catch the person, I will use these 48 hours to use various 'torture instruments' on him to extract a confession. No one has ever written a protagonist like this before."
Geng Xin, who had pigtails, spoke weakly: "Those are just ordinary inventions, not instruments of torture..."
But no one paid attention to him.
Just those things, such as "Friendship breaks down and brain breaks down", "Twenty-four hours non-stop running cage", "Goose feathers tickling the soles of the feet and the tiger bench"...
And you said it’s not a torture instrument?
"Okay, then just do what Wu Ning said!"
Zhang Hong made the final decision.
After a few weeks, the script was completely polished.
The total score of "Flags of Our Fathers" on Douya.com has been rising, and the ratings are also rising steadily.
Today, we finally reached the turning point in the play from relaxed to tragic - Huang Sancheng's sacrifice.
ps: My brain is trembling and my hangover is not over yet.
Go to bed, good night, be a healthy brother(|3[▓▓]
