Chapter 301 Liu Laogen
Although Yang Ming had not experienced big storms in his previous life, nor had he had any experience in running an entertainment company; but he had never eaten pork, and had he never seen a pig run away?
Yang Ming had not only seen some of the conflicts that occurred among the entertainment giants in the past life, as well as the methods used to suppress small companies, but also heard people in the industry talk about them in detail.
Therefore, Yang Ming now has to make some plans for the future of Oriental DreamWorks. Now Oriental DreamWorks is growing vigorously and developing smoothly, because it has not yet involved the core interests of those entertainment companies.
However, as long as Oriental DreamWorks affects the core interests of those entertainment giants, it will definitely face a storm of blows from them.
The current Oriental DreamWorks is still a small ship with few people and cannot withstand strong winds and waves. As long as Yang Ming is given a certain amount of time to develop, he is confident to build an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the entertainment industry.
Star Studio is the first measure Yang Ming has taken.
"Do you already have a script now?" Zhao Laoyan saw Yang Ming's confident look. He knew Yang Ming's talent well, and his heart couldn't help but asked eagerly.
"Yes! I already have a rough outline of the script in my mind, but I still need to perfect it before I can give it to you." Yang Ming nodded.
He has already found a star template for Zhao Laoyan in his future development. In his previous life, he was a sketch king in the Northeast. After his sketch career reached its peak, he also moved to the film and television industry and made many movies with good ratings and reputation.
It also has a considerable impact on TV dramas.
"Do you already have a rough idea of the plot?" Zhao Laoyan originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Yang Ming actually had a rough idea of the plot. His heart was tickled by Yang Ming's words.
So, he couldn't help but pull Yang Ming's arm, and couldn't wait to ask Yang Ming to tell him the general plot.
Seeing this, Yang Ming could only think about it for a while, then he chose a TV series by the sketch king in his previous life and told Zhao Laoyan the general plot.
After a well-respected old party secretary was overthrown by his son, he went to the city to live for a while and gained experience. He returned to his hometown to engage in the tourism and catering industry, and used folk art to attract audiences on the streets. At the age of 50, he realized that he had made the villagers rich.
The story of a long-cherished wish.
Liu Laogen, a man from the Changbai Mountain area in Northeast China, returned to his hometown from the provincial capital with the simple intention of "still wanting to do something even though he is still young" and used natural tourism resources to open a farmer's resort. During the process of starting a business, Liu Laogen constantly encountered challenges from life, concepts, emotions and inner feelings.
The impact made this person who has experienced life calmly and calmly have to re-examine himself again and again...
How to promote things, how to deal with emotions, how to maintain inner balance, it seems that Liu Laogen will never finish the task...
Yes, this is the general plot of "Liu Lao Gen". Yang Ming briefly talked about the general plot of this TV series, and briefly talked about the meaning of this TV series and the main points of filming.
If Zhao Laoyan is not satisfied with this "Liu Laogen", then there is "Ma Dashuai". If "Ma Dashuai" doesn't work, there is also "Country Love Story". There is always one that suits Zhao Laoyan.
However, when Yang Ming saw Zhao Laoyan's expression, he knew that it was not necessary. Zhao Laoyan, who was sitting opposite, was fascinated by what he was listening to.
Although this was just a brief introduction and some shooting points, Zhao Laoyan listened with great concentration. He seemed to feel that the Liu Laogen mentioned by Yang Ming was himself.
An ordinary farmer's son who was born and raised in the countryside, a pure farmer's life. At the same time, the various plot conflicts and contradictions in it can also maximize Zhao Laoyan's comedy talent.
.
The more Zhao Laoyan thought about it in his mind, the more he fell in love with this story. He wished that Yang Ming could give him the complete story now.
But he didn't know that this was impossible.
"I want to open your head and see how your head is different from ours. Your ability to make up stories is too strong." Zhao Laoyan said with a sigh, "You kid has won, and now I am yours."
When can you give me this script?"
After hearing this, Yang Ming thought about his time recently and said: "Before the Spring Festival, I am really too busy during this period. I have worked overtime in the past few nights to finish the script of your TV series, Brother Zhao."
.”
"I can start filming after that year." Zhao Laoyan lowered his head and thought deeply before saying slowly. Now that he has a script, it is a test of his ability as a director. To be honest, he is still a little uneasy.
"Yeah." Yang Ming saw the worried look on Zhao Laoyan's face, and immediately understood what the other person was worried about. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "Brother, let's do this. I will ask an assistant director of our company to assist me when the time comes.
Your level as an assistant director is definitely no worse than that of ordinary big-name directors, and even those so-called big-name directors are not as good as this assistant director of our company."
"At that time, you will be like me. You will still focus on acting in this TV series. During the acting process, you will make practical reference to the assistant director of our company. With the experience of this TV series, I will wait for you in the future.
If you take the shot alone, you can express yourself."
Yang Ming planned to ask Lao Chai to help Zhao Laoyan. After all, Lao Chai not only has rich experience, but also has a gentle personality. Therefore, he was going to assist Zhao Laoyan in the filming of "Liu Laogen".
Zhao Laoyan is the kind of actor with very distinctive personal performance characteristics. It can be said that in the TV series "Liu Laogen", he is the core character. The success of his performance directly determines the success of the TV series.
.
Moreover, every TV series that Yang Ming prepares for Zhao Laoyan in the future will be TV series with Zhao Laoyan as the core of his soul. Therefore, a star with such distinctive characteristics is not something that ordinary directors can grasp well as the king of sketches.
He uses his own inherent characteristics to create a TV series with distinctive personal characteristics.
Only Zhao Laoyan understands himself, and only Zhao Laoyan himself can be the director of his own TV series, so that he can maximize his abilities and drive the success of the TV series.
Zhao Laoyan left full of longing. After Yang Ming saw Zhao Laoyan off, he also drove back to the college by himself.
Two days ago, Yang Ming had already sent some of the scripts for "The Unexpected Little Soldier's Chinese New Year" to Wang and them, which he had stayed up late to process, and now they have started filming.
However, because this Lunar New Year drama "Unexpectedly" is set in the Three Kingdoms, it requires the use of costumes and locations. Wang Fa and others also took several leading actors and rushed to the filming location to start filming.
Nowadays, "Never Expected" is the number one drama on the Internet. When the popcorn website revealed that Wang Fa and the others had started filming the Lunar New Year episode of "Never Expected", it immediately attracted countless netizens to pursue it crazily. This phenomenon also caused
They came to other video websites with red eyes, but they never expected that a video short drama that was too short and poorly shot could have such a huge influence.
The highest number of on-demand views for a single episode has exceeded 50 million, and the total number of on-demand views has reached an astronomical figure of 300 million.
With such a terrifying number of clicks, advertising manufacturers naturally flocked to it and offered sky-high prices. During this period, Popcorn.com’s revenue from advertising was like counting the money until my hands cramped, leaving nothing else behind.
The video website that still adheres to the traditional rules after the revision is very jealous.
However, Yang Ming also heard that some video websites are also preparing to revamp their websites and launch them after the year. This will have a certain impact on the traffic of Popcorn.com.
The biggest feature of the popcorn website now is that it uses its free reputation to attract countless netizens to watch TV series and movies and increase the traffic of the website.
However, other websites are now also launching this free model, which will definitely have a certain impact on popcorn traffic, and the impact is certain.
To be honest, when Yang Ming learned the news from Ma Yun, he didn't feel nervous at all. For some reason, the reason why he believed so much in the strength of Popcorn.com might as well be that he believed more in his own revision of Popcorn these days.
And re-planning cannot be learned by just learning a video website for a few days.
Moreover, Yang Ming had already predicted that other video websites would follow suit, so he responded early by developing his own brand columns and video clips.
"Unexpectedly" has also successfully become the first name for Popcorn website, stabilizing Popcorn's crazy increase and somewhat unstable traffic. The website will continue to undergo in-depth reform next year, coupled with the filming of "Ling Xing" by then
Once completed, the traffic of Popcorn website will be more stable.
Yang Ming came to the Popcorn website now to discuss cooperation in advertising placement for "Wonderful Unexpected".
The way "Wonder Unexpectedly" implants advertisements for advertisers is definitely an alternative to the entire entertainment industry. Just like in its previous life, it uses self-exposed shortcomings and a ridiculing method to easily insert advertisements into it.
Moreover, it also used a reminder to tell the audience that this was product placement, with the personalized language of "If you don't advertise, you will die", the entire netizens laughed.
They never thought that advertising could be done in this way, and advertisers never thought that advertising in this way of exposing one's own ugliness would have such a good effect.
Not only is the advertising effect good, but it also directly reflects the product sales, which is also very good.
However, what makes advertisers a little dissatisfied is that Popcorn.com is very strict and stipulates that advertisers must follow their rules!

This part is not about money. Let me tell you the background of "Liu Laogen".
In this TV series, Zhao Benshan himself is both the leading actor and the director. On the shooting scene, he was busy working alone. Although he felt better after changing from an actor to a "manager", after filming the TV series, "it also felt like he was out of touch."
"It's like a layer of skin." The play mainly tells the story of farmer Liu Laogen investing in a company in his hometown to develop tourism. The style is humorous and humorous, and it is still the old drama that Zhao Benshan is best at. Zhao Benshan emphasized to reporters:
"It is said that my works are very limited and only suitable for rural areas. In fact, after watching this TV series, you will be able to realize that although it is still a rural theme, urban audiences also understand the plight of the protagonist in the TV series." Zhao Benshan also specially thanked the actors in the TV series.
The other two leading actors Fan Wei and Gao Xiumin said: "Thanks to them, they are old partners who have worked together for so many years. How can I say, without their help and understanding on the set, my debut film would have been aborted."
Chapter completed!
