Chapter 318 On the eve of going online
"The popularity is very high now! The discussions on our platform, various forums, post bars, and even many social media have detected a large amount of public opinion about "Taiwu Painting Scroll 2"!"
Ye Jiayi sat in the office, listening to Wu Jingtong's report.
Wu Jingtong's eyes were bloodshot, but now he is a market and a promotional agent. In order to track the popularity, he doesn't care whether he will take a break or not.
To be honest, if it weren't for this fighting spirit, he wouldn't have been able to tightly control the company's title of "marketing director" when Weidu Entertainment continues to grow.
It is true that he is a veteran of the company, but in the process of rapid development, not every veteran can closely follow the pace of the company. Those who walk slowly and feel successful and do not want to leave will be slowly abandoned by the company - they will not be fired, but it is almost impossible to be in a high position.
At least, under Ye Jiayi's rule, it is impossible.
Wu Jingtong's report continues: "The bundling promotion of "The Emperor of Ruzi" and "Taiwu Painting 2" has been done. Now our people are already spreading a lot of news, hoping to bring the popularity of "The Emperor of Ruzi" to "The Emperor of Ruzi" to "The Emperor of Ruzi" for "The Emperor of Ruzi".
Ye Jiayi nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wu Jingtong smiled, but still couldn't help but beat Hache. In front of the boss, this was a very disobedient move, but he really couldn't help it.
Covering his mouth, he blinked his eyes twice, forced his sleepiness down a little more, and continued, "But... I really don't dare to guarantee the specific conversion rate, it depends on the content."
"Well, I will let Sun Junyi stare at the conversion rate." Seeing him like this, Ye Jiayi was a little embarrassed and said, "Look, you have been tired for a long time, hurry up and go back and rest. Only after you have enough rest can you work well."
Without saying a word, Ye Jiayi was sitting alone in the office and looked at the computer screen again, which included a lot of data.
The popularity of the works at the beginning of "The Emperor of the Ruzi" is indeed not very high. Although it is produced by Weidu Entertainment, the reputation of the protagonist Li Ze is a bit far worse than that of Chen Yu at the same time. Chen Yu is now considered a first-line traffic star, and as more and more works accumulate, the future is quite bright.
And Li Ze, apart from playing the protagonist of "Hell Apartment", has no special role to play.
In addition to the protagonist, although some stars have been invited in other roles, most of them are second- and third-tier, or some comrades who are a little outdated.
For example, among the three Little Tigers, Chen Zhipeng, who is currently the least good at doing this, for example, Pan Yueming, who is so angry that he seems to have some signs of turning around recently, and Ren Quan, who is not very good at acting when he opens a hot pot restaurant...
There is probably a relatively unified situation for these people, that is, they are not very expensive and their popularity is no longer as good as before, but at least they have a good level.
In addition to some old actors, this is the case with the entire crew’s cast.
The investment in the whole drama is quite large, but not much is spent on post-production and special effects. For Didu Entertainment, this is equivalent to the investment spent on "The Emperor of Ruzi", which is all real money.
The money was spent on the actors and the special effects were not spent. Where did it go?
Smashed to make.
A lot of money was spent on clothing, sceneries, and filming of a lot of plots.
If you cannot attract people with special effects, you must win somewhere else.
The director of "The Emperor of the Ruzi" was Xie Peihe, who was introduced to Fan Zhe by Du Zhengde. This old comrade Xie is older than Director Du. He used to film historical dramas and regular dramas. Later, the production of TV series became more and more entertaining. After becoming feminine, his works gradually became less popular. After failing several movies, his recent situation became worse.
But no matter what, he is an old director with rich experience and strong skills.
Fan Zhe believes that giving him a script that is excellent enough and sufficient funds can make a good drama.
The outside world's understanding of Dimension Entertainment is probably about "high-quality manufacturing machines", "extreme pictures", "super god-like special effects", etc., but in Fan Zhe's view, Dimension Entertainment has its own unique features in script creation, especially script adaptation.
Weidu Entertainment established a screenwriter team very early. After so many novels, games and other works, this team has accumulated enough experience in this area after adapting and filming and television works.
During the adaptation of many works by Weidu Entertainment, the screenwriters who participated in the adaptation work also summarized a set of work experience.
When adapting the work, the screenwriters will first analyze the original work and grasp the essence and main line. The general principle is to maintain the spirit of the original work, follow the original work as much as possible, reduce the modification of the original work, and add content to the original plot - this is also the so-called "original part" that is hated by many viewers and readers.
However, in some parts that need to be modified or cannot be filmed and television (such as policy issues, scale issues, etc.), try to make modifications while keeping them in line with the original works.
In this way, the original flavor of the work can be maintained to the greatest extent.
There must be advantages. No matter what, whether it is a good result of these novels or games, they must have their own advantages. Abandoning the original work and making random changes will lead to the fact that they have picked up sesame and lost watermelon. Generally speaking, regardless of the quality of the original novel, the novel genre is not easy to compare with the audience of film and television dramas. Many companies adapt the original work and value the popularity of the original work, hoping to convert the readers and players of the original work into the audience of film and television dramas. However, the opposite of Dimension Entertainment, they believe that the most useful part of the original work is to provide an excellent story.
Throwing the story and asking for popularity? It's so stupid.
Of course, when Weidu Entertainment adapts some online novels, it is often millions of words, and due to space, it is impossible to shoot them all. Generally, in this case, the screenwriter team of Weidu Entertainment will cut off some unnecessary branches.
The drama "The Emperor of Ruzi" is a bit special. The original novel involves a large number of characters and a large number of story lines, but it is always intertwined with the main storyline. This brings certain difficulties to the adaptation work of the screenwriter team and also brings great challenges to Xie Peihe during filming.
A large number of characters and story lines will obviously make the plot complicated.
Complexity itself is not a disadvantage, especially since "The Emperor of Ruzi" itself has certain brain-burning elements. If the struggle for power struggle is simple, it will be very ridiculous.
But this is very challenging for the creators. If you are not careful, "complex" will turn into "chaotic" and "unexplained", which is not good.
But fortunately, Xie Peihe handled it well.
After the work was edited later, Ye Jiayi also watched the original film. At least she thought that the drama was pretty good.
However, "The Emperor of Ruzi" is indeed different from any of the works made by Dimension Entertainment in the past. If it cannot attract people with powerful visual effects and the cast is not very strong, can "The Emperor of Ruzi" achieve a good result?
