Many people think that if a TV series is sold to a TV station, it will only be good if the series is good.
But in fact, that's not the case at all.
Most of the time, we only hear how much one episode of a certain drama sold, but we don't understand at all that these are just after market testing.
Even so, for some dramas, it is almost difficult to recover the money smoothly, because for the works of unknown directors, it is really a buyer's market, not a seller's market.
The buyer is a TV station and knows everything. If it is an instant success, it is easy to say, but if it does not meet expectations, then they may not default on the bill, but it is difficult to say about the payment period.
Gambling agreements and the like can only come out of the inside, or in other words, only when you have enough strength can the two sides truly be equal.
Li Yi's original "The Gift of Room No. 7" was based on his father Li Zhenye's personal connections, but even so, it was really difficult to get the movie released.
In the beginning, it was still the pattern of selling dog meat to others.
But this is already a much higher starting point than most people.
Wu Qianjun doesn't have a father like Li Zhenye, so why should he let other TV stations give him face?
Besides, he has never really proven himself.
"Then what?" Li Yi became more and more curious.
"There was a beginning, although it was not a particularly good beginning, but it is a good thing to have a beginning for this kind of thing. After that, he tinkered with several more works. Although they did not sell for high prices or achieve much success, they
But it can be regarded as opening up the situation.”
"But" Lin Yunbin suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
"It stands to reason that as long as he continues to delve into military-themed TV series, and with his connections at the TV station he previously ran and the relationships he has collaborated with many times, as long as he has a good film, he can really get started."
Li Yi nodded. Just like Lin Yunbin said, Wu Qianjun has opened the door to TV stations. So as long as there are good works and no worries about channels, although they may not be top channels, they already have the foundation for success.
"But he may be dedicated, and he may indeed be good at what he does, but how can it be so easy to produce good works? He is not a screenwriter, nor is he a professional director. Although he has rich experience, so many professionals in China have wasted their lives.
There are so many people who can really get ahead, let alone him?"
"He was definitely not willing to give in, so he started making movies on his own and even invested all his wealth in gambling," Lin Yunbin continued.
"So it failed?" Li Yi asked.
"Not only did he fail, but he also owed a lot of debt. The investment in movies was too deep. In fact, the box office of his movie was not bad, but movies are not good." Lin Yunbin shook his head.
"So, it's probably because he was hit hard. His company's capital chain was broken due to this movie and it closed down. Now he works on the set every day to make money to pay off his debts."
After talking about Wu Qianjun, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Many people see the glamor of the entertainment industry and think it is easy to get ahead. Once successful, they will gain both fame and fortune. However, in fact, they cannot see at all that there are so many practitioners in this industry in China, but only the ones who are truly successful
So some.
Although examples like Wu Qianjun are rare, they are definitely not the only ones.
Some people may say that there is no reason why actors who work so hard can't get ahead, but the fact is that although everyone is complaining about how unprofessional those young actors are, in fact, many actors are very dedicated and work hard.
But sometimes, it doesn’t mean that if you work hard, you will definitely get ahead if you work hard.
There are people who are more talented and talented than you and work harder than you. What do you compare them to?
"No, according to this, this Wu Qianjun should be quite young, right?" Li Yi couldn't help but frown.
"He's not that young, but his face is so tender! And what he has done most is military-related film and television works. He doesn't even need training, he can just use it." Chen Wen said with a smile.
Li Yi was noncommittal.
Yes, Wu Qianjun's experience does sound very suitable for a character like Leng Feng. He can train in the army for eighteen months, so he should have some military skills.
Moreover, he has real skills and dares to fight hard.
But without seeing anyone, Li Yi couldn't decide with just one word. Even if it was recommended by Chen Wen and Lin Yunbin, Li Yi still needed to make his own considerations.
Moreover, at this stage, Li Yi feels that it is better to revise the script first and then consider these things.
Of course, he will also go and take a look at Wu Qianjun's work.
Although Chen Wen and Lin Yunbin would not coax him in this regard, it was still too early to say whether it was appropriate at this time.
The script of "Wolf Warrior 2" was criticized by Chen Wen and others as "nitpicking", which did not really make Li Yi give up, but to be honest, is the script of this movie really that bad?
Actually it’s really not!
To put it bluntly, the vast majority of audiences don’t like to use their brains when going to the movies.
And those so-called BUGs are actually problems with details.
Commercial movies, especially heroic movies like this, to put it bluntly, almost exclusively exist in movies.
It's impossible to expect that there won't be any flaws.
Moreover, when viewers watch movies, many of them actually watch the rhythm, the action, and the enjoyment. There are always only a few people who delve into the details.
Of course, it’s okay if you don’t know about it, but now that you know about these problems, you definitely can’t let them go.
However, changing it, and making it big, is really a big project.
Although Li Yi has been "copying" for so many years, practice makes perfect, right?
But even so, this cannot be accomplished in a short time.
Li Yi is not in a hurry and will change it slowly.
Li Yi also took some time to read some of the works of Five Thousand Army recommended by Chen Wen and Lin Yunbin.
I have to say, it can be seen that this Wu Qianjun is indeed as they said. Although he is over forty, he does not look old at all.
Moreover, in the setting of the movie, Leng Feng is not said to be very young. Leng Feng, who has served for many years, is not too young either.
Let’s talk about Wu Qianjun, many of his works are martial arts and military films, oh, there are also some special films that are exclusive to Hong Kong Island.
Wu Qianjun's acting career is also wonderful. Li Yi has seen action-packed clips of Wu Qianjun's various movies specially edited by the UP host.
From young and Dangerous thugs, ruthless killers, vicious gangsters, heroes from martial arts movies, etc., etc.
As for the special forces, Wu Qianjun has also played several roles. Judging from his current works, Wu Qianjun is indeed quite suitable for the role of Leng Feng.
Because of this role, the requirements for literary drama are actually not that high, but the requirements for action drama are straight forward.
