Chapter 183 Top Secret


Chapter 183 Top Secret

Xu Kun still misjudged Jia Yueting's current mentality.

He didn't pay attention to Wang Wei's Tudou.com at all. The main reason why he approached Xu Kun was because Cai Yinong proposed to co-produce "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" with LeTV.

"This drama should actually start filming at the end of September."

Jia Yueting took out the box specially for Zhongnanhai and threw it to Xu Kun across the table: "But Cai Yinong invested a lot of resources in order to pull off the eight-province simulcast, so the drama was postponed. As a result, in October she was All the money in the account was used to invest in our LeTV network, so we had to postpone this drama until later in the year.

With this push and push, the original cast will have to be changed. Hong Kong and Taiwan are easy to adjust, but there are some troubles on the mainland, so the woman has her mind set on you and Tianjian, and is ready to use it again.' Two swords combined' gimmick. "

"Why, she also wants to sell washing powder?"

Xu Kun told a cold joke and asked curiously: "Who was originally scheduled?"

"Huang Xiaoming."

"Oh, that's normal."

Huang Xiaoming and Nie Yuan were almost at odds throughout 2004 for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Nie Yuan even had his bones shaved off to play Yang Guo, but in the end it was Huang Xiaoming who had the last laugh.

Compared with Zhang's bearded 'Yang Guo', the leading actor in the unit drama "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is not worth mentioning at all.

"Which unit does Tangren want me to play?"

At first I thought it was a bad idea that Hu Ge came up with, but unexpectedly Cai Yinong actually adopted it.

"Except for "Xiao Qian", you can choose whatever you want."

Jia Yueting said calmly: "Originally, I didn't plan to be a lobbyist for the Tang Dynasty, but Cai Yinong promised to give Gan Min a female lead in the unit, so..."

Xu Kun raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what good can I do?"

"Of course I also recommend heroines. In unit dramas, there are a lot of heroines."

Doesn't that mean Jiang Yiyan is being advantaged again?

After all, Huo Siyan has already accepted the role of "Eight Heroes" and will join the cast with Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing next month.

[In the original time and space, Huo Siyan and Zeng Wei each starred in a unit of "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", but due to Xu Kun's influence, Huo Siyan is now more famous than in the original time and space.

In addition, she got the news from Xu Kun in advance, so Huo Siyan squeezed into the crew of "Eight Heroes" and replaced Dong Xuan to play the role of the jade goddess doctor 'Bian Suwen'.

Zeng Lai, on the other hand, is currently on the set of "The Legendary Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang" due to a schedule change, so naturally he will not be able to participate in "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". 】

Xu Kun thought about it, LeTV is so popular now, Cai Yinong would definitely not dare to fall out with him at this time, so it is not impossible to accept this drama.

"Let me read the script first."

Xu Kun said, and casually said to Jia Yueting: "If you want to praise Gan Min, you might as well make a self-made online drama."

"Homemade web drama?"

Jia Yueting suddenly became interested: "I can understand the literal meaning. Please explain it."

"Is this..."

Xu Kun just mentioned it casually. If he really wanted to explain it in detail, he really didn't know where to start.

After thinking about it carefully for a long time, he said: "You have also seen the data of these two months. A drama with a high number of views online may not be popular in reality, and the reverse is also true."

Seeing Jia Yueting nod, Xu Kun continued: "So can we specifically target the tastes of netizens and create some TV series or variety shows that are only broadcast on video networks? Think about it, online public opinion is now more relaxed than offline There are more, and there are not so many rules and regulations..."

"Let me just say you are a genius!"

Jia Yueting slapped the table in excitement, walked around the table and walked back and forth in the office a few times, but suddenly shook his head and said: "No, not yet."

"Why?"

"Our actual total investment is only 15 million. This amount of money is not enough to run the website. If you want to make your own online drama, you have to go elsewhere to raise funds. And since it is broadcast on the website, you basically can't expect to get back the money. " Jia Yueting said, raising two fingers: "This involves two questions. Is this money considered an investment in the website? If not, how can you persuade others to use money to buy traffic for the website?

"Don't you Shanxi coal bosses just throw money at you just to flatter your mistress?"

"People are after fame. If you say it can only be played on the website, even if the coal boss is willing, the mistresses won't be happy."

"Then we'll make a small-budget online drama with big gimmicks, like Underworld."

"The underworld story is a good subject, and the TV station won't let it be broadcast, so we just use it as a gimmick!" Jia Yueting first affirmed Xu Kun's proposal, and then said: "But since it is to build a reputation, it is best to produce a high-quality drama. ”

He circled around twice more and said seriously to Xu Kun: "Kun'er, this homemade web drama is the top secret of our LeTV network. You must not tell the outside world - I plan to wait until the first financing. If we throw out this gimmick again and use the company's own money to promote the company, it will be easier for us. "

"Okay."

Xu Kun didn't expect that his casual remarks would become LeTV's top secret.

This is actually not surprising. After all, Yuan Kong’s first real self-made online drama appeared in 2010. Now it was proposed by Xu Kun 6 years in advance. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a killer weapon that transcends the times.

In addition, the control over the Internet has become more relaxed these days. In addition, radio and television have just banned the broadcast of crime films during prime time this year. If a large-scale underworld drama is produced in the past two years, it will definitely become an Internet hit.

Of course, it is also likely to become out of print.

However, what Jia Yueting wants is to enhance the reputation of LeTV without making money. Being banned is not necessarily a bad thing, and maybe it can also generate publicity in the opposite direction.

Although Jia Yueting forbade Xu Kun to disclose it to the outside world, he was very upset about the gimmick of this self-produced drama. He even wrote a simple plan himself and planned to find someone to search for scripts in this area or real people. Son.

He has even chosen the director. When it comes to crime films in the past two years, it must be Gao Qunshu.

As for the starring role...

Who else could be there besides Xu?
"I'm afraid Director Gao is not suitable."

However, Xu Kun raised objections to the two candidates: "He is still being watched by the superiors. If we really want him to be the director, I am afraid that we will have to call in people from the radio and television as soon as the project is approved."

As he spoke, he spread his hands again: "I was also on the list at that time. Although it is not as serious as Director Gao, it is best to avoid this pit - but don't wait till the end. Give me a ban on acting."

"this……"

Jia Yueting began to circle around the office again. It wasn't until there was a knock on the door outside that he stopped impatiently: "Come in."

Gan Min walked in and looked at their faces first, and then asked cautiously: "My dear, are you in any trouble?"

Seeing that it was his girlfriend, Jia Yueting's attitude softened a little: "It's not a problem, it's Kun'er who gave me another good idea. I was just worried about how to implement it."

Gan Min breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said: "The performance is about to start. Look..."

"Push back ten minutes."

Jia Yueting gave the order without any doubt. After Gan Min left, he circled around a few times like a donkey, and suddenly he seemed to have a good idea. His eyes lit up and he said: "Why don't you just become the director! "

"this……"

Xu Kun was left speechless by him: "You can be a director and anyone can do it? If I had this ability, I would have directed and acted myself when filming "Heroes of Sword"!"

Jia Yueting waved his hands excitedly and said: "You can't shoot Heavenly Sword, but you are familiar with the underworld. How should you play the role of a clear figure! Then you don't have to worry about the specific shooting, just make sure the story looks the same!"

Xu Kun was speechless: "What kind of director is this? Isn't this still the job of the producer?"

"A producer is a producer. Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you, the boss. I'll just give you enough money to make the web series!"

"That's okay."

Xu Kun has already been a producer for a long time. Although he was a hands-off boss before, he wants to be a real producer this time. Fortunately, he is very familiar with the things on the road. It should be okay to always grasp the general direction. .
