Chapter 205 The screenwriter's question
This is the first time Zhou Yiyang has missed the rehearsal of such a major party. When the artists were rehearsing, Zhou Yiyang was already sitting in a high-end restaurant in Seoul.
The two people sitting opposite him were one the director of this collaboration and the other a well-known Korean screenwriter who had created many hit dramas.
Zhou Yiyang was still very surprised when he saw the latter. After all, he had not invited him.
Instead, the translator beside him whispered in Zhou Yiyang's ear: "Mr. Zhou, they have been friends for many years and have worked together many times."
Zhou Yiyang said oh, indicating that he understood.
The director spoke first:
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am a fan of yours. I am very happy to be able to cooperate with you this time."
"Well," Zhou Yiyang nodded: "I have seen the works you shot. They are very interesting and have good commercial results."
From Zhou Yiyang's point of view, if you want to best promote your own platform, what you need may not be a high-reputation work that is regarded as a masterpiece in the industry, but a real blockbuster work that can appeal to the public.
Therefore, business performance is the most important criterion that Zhou Yiyang considers.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for trusting me," the man scratched his head and said a little shyly: "But I heard that the script this time was provided by you, Mr. Zhou?"
"That's right," Zhou Yiyang didn't look at the people around the director. He had already guessed what the other person wanted to say: "The script I gave is a framework. Of course you can make appropriate modifications. Just put the final
Just give me the finished product to see. I think my requirements are quite loose."
"Yes," the director has great respect for people like Zhou Yiyang who are famous, rich and have works. However, his old friend is a little unconvinced: "It's just that he and I are old partners. He,
He is also a very famous screenwriter... In fact, he just wrote a script..."
Zhou Yiyang turned his head without surprise and looked at the screenwriter: "Actually, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly without having to relay it to others."
The other party took a deep breath, and finally mustered up the courage to speak: "Mr. Zhou, I know that your standards are very high, and you are the boss and have the final decision-making power. But I still have to say that for our country,
As far as the TV drama market is concerned, a good script does not mean high commercial value. I am also thinking about you, Mr. Zhou, and don’t want you to lose money. I think I have a keen grasp of the market. If necessary, Mr. Zhou,
You can look at my notebook."
Zhou Yiyang was not angry, after all, what the other party said actually made sense.
It's a pity that the book he found from the system must be in line with the taste of the local audience. Zhou Yiyang is not worried about this.
"Perhaps you can read my story first," Zhou Yiyang snapped his fingers, and someone handed over a thin script behind him. "It's still an outline at the moment. More details will be given after we sign the contract."
you."
The screenwriter caught it immediately and read it carefully.
Gradually, his originally frowning frown relaxed, and finally turned into an indescribable ecstasy.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhou!"
The other party's attitude changed so much that it even shocked his friends.
The screenwriter bowed deeply to Zhou Yiyang and expressed his apology.
Seeing his positive attitude of apologizing, Zhou Yiyang felt that this person was quite good. And what he said was right. He did have good control over the market.
"It's okay." Zhou Yiyang lay on the chair and took a sip of the soda water at hand: "You may not know that most of the things I shot before were very commercial. "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" is just a special case.
.”
After all, he also filmed "Ode to Joy" in the first place, which brought Yue Shao and the four of them to the public.
The director picked up the script curiously, "Is it really that exaggerated? Mr. Zhou, I either don't believe you or I'm a little surprised."
He looked at it for a while, and finally his expression was also one of surprise.
"It's so interesting!" He stood up directly: "Mr. Zhou, can we start filming right away! I can't wait for it to meet all the audiences!"
"That's right!" The screenwriter suddenly turned into a fan of Zhou Yiyang: "After I read it, I had an idea, it will be a big hit! Who would have thought that Mr. Zhou could actually put a modern element like zombies in
Ancient times! Moreover, it is also interspersed with the elements of intrigue and palace fighting that our people love very much. It’s so fresh!”
"Then do you think that my own drama "Onlight" can be the first hit in Korea?"
At this time, Zhou Yiyang was sitting on the recliner, with his hands on his chest, and his eyes were full of confidence. Now he looks like the godfather in the movie.
"Of course." The two said in unison: "From now on, Moonlight's homemade drama will also be a symbol of quality and topicality in Goryeo!"
As for whether touching onlight would lead to the invasion of Goryeo by Chinese culture, or even assimilation into the local area, they didn't care. Who asked Zhou Yiyang to give enough money?
"As for the actors, it's up to you to decide." Zhou Yiyang said with a smile: "Come on you two!"
The rehearsal work on the other side is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
The happiest people these days are the students of Shuangdan University.
Because the rehearsals and live broadcasts were held at their school, they could bump into big-name celebrities who could only be seen on TV while walking around the campus.
"Hey," several girls chirped and started running: "Let's run quickly, there's Moonlight Girl over there!"
"Could it be false again? I said before that there were Ling Hu and Luo Chen in the library. But when I went there, there was nothing there, and I was even scolded by the library aunt!"
"Really, they are sitting in the auditorium of the playground!"
When they arrived at the playground, they could see nothing.
The students blocked the entire playground, and there were even many fans among them who were trying to fish in troubled waters.
So much so that the next day, Shuangdan University made a rule that only students from the school were allowed to enter and leave before the live broadcast of the graduation party.
However, because of the various Weibo posts taken by the students, Moonlight’s graduation party did not require official predictions, and the popularity remained quite stable.
On the day of the live broadcast, almost all students across the country sat in front of the TV or computer after 7:30, turned on their mobile phones, found the official Moonlight software and website, and watched the live broadcast of the party.
At Shuangdan University, all the students were very excited because they were the only live audience at the party.
Zhou Yiyang walked into the backstage and waved calmly facing the cameras in all directions.
