Chapter 392 There is a reason why you should be expensive(1/2)
"Mr. Jiang, this "Langya Bang" has announced a lineup of 10 first-line actors and 20 second- and third-tier actors. Is the budget of 350 million enough?" asked a reporter who got the opportunity to ask a question.
"It's enough at the moment. If it's not enough, you can invest more." Django replied.
There is no need to worry about money. There are a lot of investors outside waiting for opportunities. They are not afraid of not enough, but they are afraid of not wanting it.
"This is the first time you have used so many powerful actors in TV series. Can you tell us, is this different from the previous TV series?" the reporter asked again.
"First of all, it is a historical power plot that has never been encountered before, and secondly, it is an episode, which is 54 episodes long." Django replied.
The answers are all official and there are no spoilers involved.
"In recent years, too long episodes seem to have become an important problem facing TV dramas. Modern urban dramas are generally over 40 episodes, and fantasy costume dramas often have 6 or 70 episodes, and even longer even break the 100 episode mark. This will not only bring quality to the work itself, but will also have an impact on the audience's interest in watching dramas, and create a psychological state of "will not have the courage to watch dramas when you see the length of the drama". Will you have any worries about this?" the reporter continued.
"Injecting water will inevitably affect the overall quality of a drama, but a TV series with a long episode may not be a bad drama. It only requires the quality of the picture, story, rhythm, and characters to be comprehensive, and to achieve the 'content first'. Even if it lasts hundreds or thousands of episodes, it will not bring burden to the audience." Django said.
The reason why long dramas have low ratings and audiences abandon their pitfalls is ultimately a matter of money. To ensure the maximization of interests, lengthening dramas has become a key measure to attract money, such as injecting water in rhythm, injecting water in lines, and injecting water in characters.
If a TV series is made with a high-quality product before filming, and content first, and uses the right number of episodes to complete the story, without using the previous plot, flashback to the plot, irrelevant branches, etc. to lengthen the episode, and the audience will not complain after watching it.
Seeing this reporter, the host hurriedly controlled the scene and said, "Thank you, this reporter friend, are there anyone else you want to ask?"
Before he finished speaking, all the media reporters raised their hands, and even those who had asked questions raised their hands.
Django picked one of them casually.
"Mr. Jiang, what is the purpose of you spending 65 million to resolve the lawsuit between Hu Jingtian and the former company?" asked the reporter.
"Purpose?" Django smiled and said, "It's already obvious, isn't it?"
Just to let Hu Jingtian play the leading role in this movie "Langya Bang"?
This reason is not convincing.
"Then, why is Hu Jingtian? Hua Feng and Xu Chenyi, Zhang Jun, Song Ge, etc., actors with better appearance, acting skills and popularity." The reporter continued to ask.
When they heard that it was a very tricky question, other reporters immediately became energetic and obviously wanted to know.
Hu Jingtian, who was on the stage, raised his heart. While wanting to know the reason, he was afraid that the answer was not what he wanted to hear.
"Well..." Django glanced at Hu Jingtian and said, "In fact, no matter how old or how good you look, whether you are, whether you are popular or not, the key to choosing an actor is the key to choosing an actor. Perhaps in the eyes of others, Chen Yi, as the Golden Eagle Awards Award winner and his natural 'high appearance', wouldn't he be able to act like anything? In fact, acting is one thing, appearance is one thing, and role setting is another."
Another seamless answer, I thought I could dig up some materials to make a fuss.
However, Hu Jingtian fell into deep thought because of these words. It turned out that he was really lucky and not his personal charm.
Other artists with Huafeng don’t think there is anything strange about them. They all know that Django has always been a role-playing actor, and he doesn’t necessarily perform for artists in his company.
An artist who is not Huafeng can see from these words that Django's plays can have a reputation, and it is not accidental that the market is double harvest.
The questioning session continued, and the actors, Hu Jingtian, Yu Qingqing, Gu Yao, Liu Ya, Guan Yansi, Su Qin, Ling Xue and others, all spoke. Due to the large number of people, it took longer than the usual opening ceremony.
However, articles with pictures and texts have been published in major news platforms and entertainment sections.
"I feel that 350 million is really not enough. I heard from a friend who is engaged in fashion design that Huafeng has customized a lot of ancient costumes, and a set of them costs several thousand yuan."
"Not only that, I've also built a new landscape in the east, west, south, Suiyuan (east, east, west, Jin, south, and Sui Dynasty) of Hengdian Film and Television City. I've seen 500 million yuan to build it."
"This little money is a trivial matter for Hua Feng and Django. What I care about is the number of episodes, and it is finally no longer more than 30 episodes."
"I just want to be broadcasting weekly, otherwise it will be too difficult to wait. It will take three months to watch the 54 episodes."
"Who said no? Having said that, I was worried that using Hu Jingtian as the male lead would affect the quality of the show, but after hearing Django's explanation, I felt completely relieved."
"There are many talents in the film and television industry, but they are also mixed with good and bad people. There are pioneers who strive for excellence and shallow people who blindly pursue traffic. However, if you really want to be an evergreen in this industry, you can only go long with your heart and brain."
...
"Langya Bang" is a big drama, the annual drama, which has caused more discussion than before.
At the same time, Yu Li, the head of the "League of Legends" event, received the Chinese theme song created by Django for this World Championship.
Conference room.
"After listening, everyone will give their own opinions." Yu Li was anxious to know what kind of song it was, worth 25 million.
On the other hand, music director Ma Zhong was quick to connect the speaker in the conference room with his laptop.
On the other hand, Yu Li's assistant distributed the printed lyrics to everyone's hands.
Soon, the music started.
The prelude is electronic music, which is very modern and fashionable.
“It’s all brave.
The wound on your forehead
Your difference
Your mistake…”
As Xu Chenyi's singing, everyone unconsciously moved their butts to change to a more comfortable position.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Yu Li's face was expressionless, and she couldn't tell whether she liked this song or not. In fact, when the first paragraph was finished, her mood was already slightly rippling.
“No need to hide it
Your shabby doll
Your mask
Your self
They said they would tame every monster with light…”
Hearing this, everyone's brows stretched out.
The lyrics they got were a song story before, which talked about [the conflict between the upper and lower levels of civilizations, the tempering and transformation of hero growth]. However, the first lyrics did not show any key to heroes. It was not until the second lyrics came out that I realized that the heroes created by this song were actually completely different from the glorious image in the public's mind.
Perhaps because of the influence of film and television works, it is generally believed that heroes are perfect, shining, have strong will and extraordinary skills that ordinary people do not have. They can punch monsters and stroll around the world. However, the fact is that heroes are alive, flesh and blood, and will be injured, so they will make mistakes and be afraid.
"They said they would sew your wounds
No one loves clowns
Why is loneliness not glorious
Only imperfection is worthy of praise
Who said that a person who is covered in sludge is not a hero…”
As soon as this song came out, everyone started to get goosebumps.
The lyrics go further, and are still expressing the cognitive gap between the public's understanding and the real hero, thus giving a question: loneliness, imperfection, and mud are all over the mud, aren't they heroes?
The so-called glory is actually recognized by the public, and it is difficult for the lonely to be recognized. The scarred one is a clown, not a hero.
Yu Li subconsciously licked her lower lips and began to associate the hero she sang in this song with the background story of "League of Legends".
like……
It can all reflect on every hero such as Galen, Yasuo, Akali, etc.
Chaos, dirty, disorderly, crazy, imperfect, Django uses words and notes, combined with Xu Chenyi's mid-bass to lead the entire conference room to step into reality step by step, listening to them telling the lonely ambition of a humble little person at the bottom.
"Love you and walk alone in the dark alley
I love you but don't kneel
Love you forever confronting you and refuse to cry
Love your ragged clothes
But dare to block the gun of fate
I love you and I are just like a gap..."
Finally, a positive answer was given in this paragraph. Heroes also have an unbearable side. People are not sages, and those who are imperfect are the kings who dare to fight against fate in the mud.
From questions to affirmation, giving attitude, expressing love, and connecting with oneself, thus further recognizing the hero's "extraordinary in ordinary".
Everyone sighed that this is a true portrayal of those lonely heroes, even every ordinary person. During the process of growing up, the little people did not hoarsely in despair, but only persisted in suffering all the torture but still refused to bow their heads and kneel down.
Before he knew it, Yu Li fell in love with this song, and the calmness on her face had already been swallowed by excitement.
"Do you go?
This ragged cloak
Fight?
With the humblest dream
To the sob and roar in the dark night
Who says that those who stand in the light are considered heroes…”
The main song ends and then enters the chorus immediately. The melody becomes passionate and generous, as if to inspire the lonely hero to fight.
I have to say that these short lyrics are full of power and hit the tears at the same time. Every little person initially has a big dream, but under the burden of life, their dreams have always become distant dreams, and the trivial matters day after day, year after year have exhausted their efforts, and in the end everyone's ordinary life almost becomes humble.
but……
All this cannot defeat every ordinary struggler. The fire of stars can also illuminate the darkness. As long as you have dreams, even the humblest dreams can be your own hero.
