Chapter 925: The premiere is unfavorable

Not only Yin Jun, but even Le Yiling, who heard Yin Jun talk about it, thought that he had met a fool.

Sister Le decided to sell the land to this fool at the dinner table.

Although I don't know why Chen Qixian is crazy, it is definitely a good thing for Kirin Group to be able to realize the real estate that does not make much sense.

Then after quickly completing the contract, Le Yiling received the money into the Kirin Group, which was called a reserve for the loyalty award, but Yin Jun understood that this was because Sister Le was unwilling to invest money in the United States again.

Even though Hong Kong is very profitable, the value of the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar is about 1:5, which is equivalent to earning five times the amount of money before it can be used by the United States.

Le Yiling believes in Yin Jun's vision, but at present, she does not want Yin Jun to invest too much at once, which will lead to a tight liquidity chain of Kirin Group.

Yin Jun wanted to remind Sister Le that even if he didn't add the 500 million, the liquidity of the Kirin Group would be more than 3 billion, and this money was used by himself to deal with the difficulties and had never been used.

It's just that for Sister Le, the CEO of the Kirin Group, the Kirin Group is now under tremendous pressure in the United States and Xiangjiang, especially on the American side.

If the US company really can't hold on, it is undoubtedly very important to use this money to offset the loan or as capital for a comeback.

In fact, the United States is not exactly posting money, and the "Red Fan Zone" and ".", which were helped to publish, have made some money, although compared to the purchase price, it is far away, but it is also income, right?

Moreover, the day after the business with Hang Lung Group was completed, it was yesterday that the Disney TV channel suddenly launched a TV series called "Happy Hotel" at 8 o'clock in the evening, which made Yin Jun startled.

The script of "Happy Hotel", Yin Jun gave it to Tang Shuxuan in April, and now it's only July 3, and the Disney TV channel has aired the first episode?

What kind of speed is this!?

When has the work efficiency of the Americans been so high?

Yin Jun hurriedly called to inquire, and only then did he know about the bends in it.

Thinking that Tang Shuxuan, the president of a company, actually returned to his old business and took on the role of filming a sitcom, Yin Jun was a little angry and a little curious.

Originally, Yin Jun pondered that after the release of "Speed of Life and Death" on the 17th, he would be able to calm the hearts of the company personnel in the United States.

Then the three TV series and a variety show of "American Idol" will gradually win the championship of ratings, making them more stable for the second time.

But I didn't expect that the six giants were unwilling to give Yin Jun the opportunity to slowly integrate, so they chose to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, so Tang Shuxuan could only work hard to shoot a TV series by himself.

Yin Jun wrote down this matter.

When the time comes, the boy will definitely know how to "repay" them.

At the same time, Yin Jun is still very curious about what kind of situation and how Tang Shuxuan's "Happy Hotel" was filmed.

It's a pity that there is no such convenient means of transmission now, and it is even more impossible for Yin Jun to ask Tang Shuxuan to send the master tape back for himself to see.

So the teenager can only ask about the ratings and the reaction of the audience.

"Because it's a new TV series or a sitcom, the audience isn't too big, and the first episode was watched by 4.6 million people. Tang Shuxuan replied, "However, when our investigators called to interview, more than 40% of the audience felt that this TV series was quite interesting and should look forward to the second episode." ”

"What about the age distribution of the viewers?" Yin Jun asked.

"45% are young people aged 12-18, 25% are young people aged 18-24, 15% are people over 25 and the remaining 15% are viewers under 12 and over 50. Tang Shuxuan said.

She is so familiar with the data, it is conceivable that Tang Shuxuan's heart is still under a lot of pressure.

With Yin Jun's self-confidence in "Happy Hotel" and the original viewership of Disney TV channels, this number is really unsatisfactory.

"Do you want us to buy some newspaper reviews, or do something else?" asked Tang Shuxuan.

With Tang Shuxuan's pride, it is really surprising that there is such a proposal.

Yin Jun was not worried, "Don't be anxious, Sister Xuan, good wine is tasted slowly, or it won't be long before it surprises us." ”

"Hopefully!"

Tang Shuxuan sighed and continued to talk to Yin Jun about "Happy Hotel": "There are a lot of sitcoms in the United States, but the script you wrote for "Happy Hotel" is a bit complicated, and a lot of foreshadowing is about to be buried now, so we can only shoot one episode in three days, and now we only have about 10 episodes in stock. Fortunately, the United States and China are broadcasting weekly, otherwise it would have been too late. I'm going to shoot the first 25 episodes, which is half a year, and then stop and do other planning. ”

Weekly broadcast, that is, once a week, one episode.

This is what the United States has done since there were TV dramas, and under normal circumstances, a TV series is only broadcast for 3-5 months a year, and there are fewer than 6 months.

Then they will look at the influence and ratings of the whole TV series, and if it is good, then continue to shoot the second season, and if it is not good, it will be stopped.

Although this system is a bit cruel, it has also prompted American TV drama writers and directors to show their best, otherwise they will not be able to make money, and then they can only lose their jobs.

In fact, it is relatively loose now compared to 30 years later.

Thirty years later, Hollywood has achieved the ultimate in entertainment, including the TV circle.

Don't say that you have a season to prove yourself, it's just 4 episodes a month, and sometimes it's not given to you.

As long as the ratings continue to be lower than expected, and there is no growth, then the TV station will immediately cut the TV series and replace it with a new one.

This is a very tragic thing for the production company, and the loss is huge.

Nowadays, first, there is no complete implementation of the separation of production and broadcasting, and some TV dramas are still made by the TV stations themselves; second, the competition is not so fierce, and the future of computers, the Internet, games, and other entertainment will not grab the TV viewers, and everyone has a lot of leeway.

"Sister Xuan, you can train some deputies first, and when this season is finished, you can hand them over. Yin Jun said, "As for the talents in screenwriting, as long as they are allowed to follow my style and not be unconventional, they should be written according to the character's temperament and performance habits, and there should be no problem." But it should be noted that they must not be allowed to write season by season, at least three or five seasons, so that it will be more coherent, rather than sometimes confusing. ”

"I understand. Tang Shuxuan said with a smile.

Regarding the production mode of the TV series, Xiangjiang and the United States, their respective advantages and disadvantages, when she was in Xiangjiang, Yin Jun had already talked to her a lot.

In the 21st century, many people feel that Hong Kong dramas, mainland dramas, and treasure island dramas are outdated, and American dramas and British dramas represent the trend of society and are the best.

But many people ignore that both American dramas and British dramas have a big, big flaw.

That is the coherence of the plot and the characters.

Because of the separation of production and broadcasting, many TV drama production companies write season by season, and they never have the habit of writing two or three seasons in one breath before saying that, because this is a great waste for them.

Why is it waste?

What if the first season is cut?

So what's the use of you writing a second season? Isn't it a waste of cost and effort?

All right.

If the ratings for the first season are good and it can be continued next year, then we will write the script for the new season.

How do you write this?

Only according to the plot development of the first season, according to the preferences of the audience, various characters are chosen to live, or die.

Season 3 repeats the same approach as Season 2.

……

What do you say about coherence in writing scripts and producing TV dramas? In the most basic place of the plot, it is not worth scrutinizing at all!

And only what will not be affected?

It's very simple, it's those sitcoms that don't need a coherent plot, and one episode is a story.

For example, the popular "Two and a Half Heroes", "Bankrupt Sisters", "The Big Bang Theory", and "Sherlock Holmes" are so popular.

Or "Grey's Anatomy", "Dr. House", "Beach Rescue", "24 Hours" and so on, a few episodes of a small story, and the same story that each story doesn't have much to do.

So you will find that those who can shoot seven or eight seasons or more than ten seasons in American dramas are all like this.

There are very few in the drama category.

There are many negative examples.

For example, Yin Jun has watched a first season of "Hero", which is a story about people with special functions produced by NBC, the first season can be described as good-looking, the plot, characters, and compactness are all first-class.

But the second season is all kinds of unknowns, not only so that Yin Jun can't understand it, but also the North American audience can't understand it, and the third season not only did not get better, but collapsed even more, and it was reluctantly reimbursed in the fourth season.

"Game of Thrones" is actually not extra, because it has a very complete book as a reference, and it is not a season-by-season script.

A lot of the character development is already written in the book, and you can do it step by step, or change it a little, but the skeleton is always there, so you look coherent and comfortable.

It's just that "Game of Thrones" also has a drawback, and that is how cruel they treat the characters.

After receiving the original "Six Walking", that is, the last season of "Friends", the six leading actors raised their salaries together, and finally got a sky-high salary of $1 million per person for each episode, Hollywood American actors have learned this trick.

If the American drama you starred in is not popular or average, then forget it, but if it is very popular and makes a lot of money, then I'm sorry, if you want me to star in the second or third season, you have to add money to me, and every season in the future.

The later "The Big Bang Theory" is a typical example of this, and the salary is so high that it can be compared with that of movie stars.

But there are more unsuccessful, and the most "cruel" of them is naturally the popular "Game of Thrones".

What the?

Do you want a raise? Or don't act?

OK!

I'll write your character to death right away, anyway, there are so many characters, you can get out!

So at least one-third of the characters in "Game of Thrones" are because of this salary problem.

Do you say they are cows or not?

Of course, there are very few tough ones like "Game of Thrones", and basically many American dramas are in the process of being in the game, constantly struggling to move forward.

Speaking of which, don't you think that the TV series in Xiangjiang, the mainland and Baodao are at least filmed at one time, so it seems much more sincere?
