Chapter 195 Youth Film Benchmark, Confidence Divide
"The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" is finally released!

Total box office: 2.21 million!
Although this statistic is not comparable to the previous movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", but... it is already very scary. In some respects, the box office of this movie is even higher than that of "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

As I said before, youth films are a forbidden area. For so many years, everyone has filmed them as literary films. Generally, youth films are shot to win awards!

It is precisely because of this that the box office of most youth films is not good, and because they are filming children's stories, they are easy to be hit by thunder.

Looking at youth films, it is not uncommon to see a box office of over [-] million, but one can count over [-] million on one hand!
And "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" has a total box office of 2.21 million, which is already ranked in the top three of youth genre films. The most important thing is that it is only a few hundred box office away from No.1!

Therefore, when "The Girl We Chased Together" was released, many people felt a little regretful. If there is another day or two, "The Girl We Chased Together" will become the top box office of domestic youth films. !

But even so, the box office of this film still shocked everyone in the circle!

But there are two points of eye-catching!

One is that the Preacher is not a youth film director at all, he came out with a fantasy film such as "A Chinese Ghost Story", which is completely different from a youth film such as "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years"!
To put it bluntly, as long as the genre is changed, it is even like a mountain away!
However, the Preacher's "A Chinese Ghost Story" came strong, and just when everyone thought he was going to continue shooting this kind of fantasy film, he suddenly made a 180-degree turn and changed to a youth film.

To be honest, before "Those Years" was released, no one would have thought that this film would have such a high box office!

Just like Jiarong Group!
When they knew that Zhou You was going to shoot a second film, they even asked Zheng Lan to discuss cooperation and investment, but... After knowing that Zhou You was going to shoot a new movie that was a youth movie, they stopped talking about the investment!
Because in the minds of many people in the industry, youth films belong to the category of literary and artistic films. This kind of film is generally thankless. If it is for dreams or awards, you may still be able to support it, but... for investment to make money, literary and artistic films are direct. out!
but……

Now when seeing this data, the people on Jiarong's side are completely speechless!
Of course, it's not now, but when "Those Years" surpassed [-] million yuan, everyone on Jiarong's side already knew that this movie was unstoppable!
Then it started arguing half a month ago, until now!

"If I knew it earlier, I should have insisted on voting!"

"Hey, who knew that this guy could even shoot youth movies?"

"Two hundred million, if this is mixed up, it will be at least tens of millions!"

Not earning this money is as distressing as losing it. The most important thing is that this money is almost earned!
"Okay, so many advantages, it's not bad to eat the same!"

Mr. Xu, who had been silent all the time, spoke, and then said: "If we use our people, even if we ask to invest at that time, it's still the same thing whether they agree or not!"

He didn't dare to tell these guys that the movie "Those Years" heard that the investment was only 500 million!
When other people hear the words, they can only give up!

After all, the heroine Lin Jiaxin is from their Jiarong Group!
And this film has finally made the preacher a top group of people in the director world, because this is a master who can play with two types, and one is more than 3 million, and the other is more than 2 million!

"Yes, the top director has added another person!"

"Haha, that's right, there will be one more director to watch movies in the future!"

"To be honest, movies are different from TV dramas. When watching TV dramas, everyone likes to follow the actors, but when watching movies, I believe many people like me, like to follow the director!"

"That's for sure. You've seen a TV series about a certain star, but how many times have you heard a movie about a certain actor? Usually it's from the director!"

"The Preacher is a real bull. The two films directly cost [-] million. Those old directors who have been filming for decades, I don't know if they will be pissed off!"

"This is genius, nothing compares!"

……

Lin'an, a temporary studio!

It is said to be a studio, but it is actually a factory building. In the factory building, seven or eight buses seem to be randomly placed. Inside the carriages, the layout is exactly the same, but there are still some changes in details!

At this time, everyone is resting, those who eat watermelon eat watermelon, those who eat ice cream eat ice cream!

Lin'an in early October is really hot, let alone in the factory building, so Zhou You found several big fans, but they can only be used during rest, after all, the noise is too loud.

"Two hundred million taels, throwing out an investment of 200 million... Well, there is no investment at all, that is to say, this drama can earn almost 8000 to [-] million!"

Ding Xiang watched Zhou Youshu, the corner of her mouth twitched uncontrollably!

Seventy-eight million?

It took seven or eight days to shoot, 1000 million a day?Darling, it's worse than robbing a bank!

Here they are traveling around to calculate profits, and over there a group of people surround Lin Jiaxin!
Although "Those Years" has been released, Lin Jiaxin's fame has really reached its peak. Nowadays, first love Shen Jiayi can be seen everywhere on the Internet. The few promotional videos that have been sent out alone have all exceeded 10,000 million clicks. The comments under each promotional video It is as high as tens of thousands, and some even reach [-]+!

It can be said that Lin Jiaxin at this stage, in terms of short-term popularity, must avoid it!
"Director Zhou is too good!"

"Yeah, good vision, and strength!"

"Jiaxin is also awesome. With Shen Jiayi beside me, I will have a halo in the future!"

The aura of a star is usually given by fans, but...the aura of a truly powerful star is usually based on his works, such as singers rely on songs, and actors rely on roles!

Shen Jiayi is a positive character, and generally belongs to the memories of Bai Yueguang in the hearts of boys. This good memory is pressed on Shen Jiayi, so if something happens to her in the entertainment industry in the future, this halo will play a role, and at least there will be a lot of boys. Fans stand up and defend!

Lin Jiaxin was embarrassed by being said, she became popular too fast, so she hasn't adapted to this change yet!

As a certain star said, if you are really popular, people around you will become amiable, even sunny days will turn blue, and rainy days will become refreshing!
Lin Jiaxin felt this way at this time!

Of course, she mainly admired these teachers!

Especially Teacher Wang Dan, she played Tao Yinghong, one of the murderers of the bombing!
Don't look at Teacher Wang as an ordinary woman in her forties now, but... once she started filming, her temperament immediately changed!
Especially that look, when Lin Jiaxin faced it for the first time, she was so frightened that the filming was stopped.

"Teacher Wang, drink water!"

Lin Jiaxin served Wang Dan a cup of cool water for nothing!

Because it is too hot, everyone needs to replenish energy from time to time!

"Thank you!"

Wang Dan smiled slightly!
Chatting here, wandering around calling people over there!

Soon, everyone dropped their things in a hurry, the scenes in the car were not easy to shoot, because there were too many people, and because the car was in motion, everyone was almost complete in every scene!
Of course, what is being filmed now is only the scenes in the car, after the filming is over, there will be police scenes and road scenes!
The combination of these three roles is "The Beginning"!
"The focus of this scene is on Gu Ke. After a while, Gu Ke will come up. Lin Jiaxin and Bai Zhou will come forward!"

"You are going to ask Gu Ke for help, and then you have to say the secret signal!"

Zhou Youbalabala said a lot, and Gu Ke, who played the role of Lu Di, was also the person who was inserted by Peng Chunlai. It is estimated that he has something to do with Peng Chunlai!
But Gu Ke still looks pretty good, with a bit of astrology, and she is quite humble!
Hearing the tour arrangement, everyone nodded. After all, they are all veterans of the drama troupe. The other teachers, Mr. Lan, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, etc., have already taken their seats on the bus. With an order, they immediately entered the state!

Gu Ke was ready, and the moment she heard the power on, she had already entered the door with her bag in her arms, and then staggered!
At this time, Li Shiqing, played by Lin Jiaxin, also stepped forward and supported her.

Li Shiqing: "Hey, be careful!"

Lu Di looked at Li Shiqing with a little surprise in his eyes. After all, in his opinion, the girl in front of him seemed to know that he was going to stumble here!
Lu Di: "Thank you!"

"Crack!"

Zhou You stopped shouting, and then waved at Li Shiqing: "Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes should be filled with anticipation, even if it's another cycle, you still want to see if the only person who believes in you will remember you !"

"Oh well!"

Lin Jiaxin took a deep breath, and then Gu Ke got into the car again!
Then the picture was repeated!

After Lu Di thanked him, he went straight to the back seat, and at this moment, Xiao Heyun, who was standing at the back door, looked at Lu Di expectantly!

There was doubt in Lu Di's eyes: "I'm sorry to give way!"

The reason why both of them are looking forward to it is because they want to see if Lu Di has entered the cycle!
But at this moment, Gu Ke shook, and Zhou You yelled "click", only to realize that the cat in his arms scratched him!
The little guy said that maybe it was too hot, so he got out of the small opening of the backpack and ran away!
"Hey, the cat ran away!"

Here, Gu Ke hastily shouted.

It's just that things like cats can't be caught even if there are many people. Seeing this, Zhou You could only bark!
Da Huang, who was about to run to rest, suddenly stopped, and then turned his head curiously, with humanized doubts in his eyes.

Zhou You yelled again, and then made a big move towards Rhubarb as if teasing a cat, and the orange cat came over suspiciously!

Just halfway there, my hair exploded all over my body, and I started screaming crazily.

Others could only hear the cry, but what Zhou You heard was different!

"Monster, this two-legged guy has become a spirit, and he can speak cat language!"

Crazy screaming, this is going to run away.

Zhou You meowed a few more times!
"You run, you run, I'll cut your balls, so that you can never play with Da Huaer again!"

Da Huang, who ran two steps away, paused, then looked back at Zhou You, and meowed, "Can you catch me?"

"As soon as I give an order, all the cats in the city will listen to me. Tell me if you can be caught!" Seeing that Rhubarb was a little scared, Zhou You said again: "Complete this task obediently. I'll help you find some good-looking cats. Little cat!"

"You said it!"

"I said!"

Rhubarb meowed, then turned his head, walked towards Gu Ke, and under the shocked eyes of everyone, jumped onto Gu Ke's body and climbed into the backpack!
Everyone, look at me and I look at you, their expressions are getting weirder and weirder!
"Fuck, what's the matter with this rhubarb?"

"Why did you get into the backpack by yourself?"

"Hey, why do I feel that Director Zhou is talking to Da Huang!"

"Haha, how is it possible!"

"Ha, yes, how is it possible!"

"But this rhubarb is quite weird, jumping out by itself, and then jumping in by itself!"

Here, Shen Bo has already asked Gu Ke to tighten the zipper of the backpack directly.

I opened it a little bit before because I was afraid that the rhubarb would be too hot. After all, although the backpack is also breathable, but because it is held in my arms, if all the zippers are zipped up, this little guy might have to toss.

I didn't expect that this little guy would be dishonest even if he opened it a little bit, but he didn't expect it to run back by itself.

The little guy is back, this time he is obedient, maybe because he is afraid that his balls will be lost!

After all, Zhou You said that the whole of Lin'an is my cat, where can you go!

Soon, another shot!

Because it is a loop, so many people's shots have to be shot again and again!

Just like Lu Di!
For the scene of getting in the car, he took more than a dozen shots!
Another shot of Lu Di.

He came up with the bag in his arms, then staggered, and was stopped by Xiao Heyun.

Xiao Heyun: "Lu · Cat's Apostle · Asthma Conqueror · The One Chosen by Light · Flute!"

Lu Di: "What are you doing?"

Xiao Heyun: "I'm a policeman, I need your help!"

Xiao Heyun took Lu Di to the back and sat down, then took out his mobile phone, and the memo on the mobile phone explained the purpose of his visit.

Lu Di: "Who are you, what are you doing?"

Xiao Heyun: "I'm a policeman, I need your help!"

Lu Di: "Do you have a police certificate?"

Xiao Heyun: "Do you have a cat in your bag? You have asthma and can't keep cats, but you still have five cats. You rented a house in the animation city without telling your parents. The password is six six. We have already mastered it." All your information, I am the police!"

Lu Di: "You are definitely not a policeman!"

Xiao Heyun was in a hurry: "Apostle of the cat, conqueror of asthma, the person chosen by the backlight, this name is correct, why don't you believe it!"

Lu Di: "But I don't care anymore, because you announced my name and know all my hidden secrets. I am willing to cooperate with you. Tell me, what should we do!"

once again!

Zhou You beckons, Lu Di's role is considered to be 90.00% complete, as for the rest, it only needs to fill in some scenes.

Of course, the most important point of this drama lies in the veteran actors.

Especially Teacher Wang Dan!

Among them, Teacher Wang Dan stabbed Xiao Heyun with a knife, and directly inserted the knife into Li Shiqing's neck. This required the testing of Lin Jiaxin and Bai Zhou's acting skills.

These few shots were taken from morning to evening!

Although Lin Jiaxin gained fame and acting skills through "Those Years", but in terms of superb, it is really far behind, especially people are afraid of comparison. Before "Those Years", there were basically no old dramas in "Those Years", and the opponents were also all He is the same age as Bai Zhou, so it is easier to act!

But it's different now. After all, Mr. Wang Dan is a national second-class drama actor, and he has been in the drama troupe for more than [-] years!
Acting skills have already been perfected, Zhou You said it twice, and Wang Dan can do it to the fullest!Playing with this kind of actor, Lin Jiaxin and Bai Zhou are under a lot of pressure, especially when they see Teacher Wang Dan's expression, they will subconsciously be timid.

The scenes in the car are almost done, and only the most difficult scenes are left!
Lin Jiaxin and Bai Zhou have changed a lot, at least under the influence of these teachers, their acting skills are growing steadily!
at last……

"Okay, it's over!"

"yeah!"

Everyone here breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Jiaxin even sat down on the floor of the carriage. She never expected that filming would be so tiring, and this kind of tiredness was from the heart, not from the body!

"It's okay!"

Bai Zhou reached out and pulled Lin Jiaxin up.

"fine!"

Lin Jiaxin got up, took a deep breath, and then looked at Teacher Wang Dan, thinking that the old drama bone is indeed an old drama bone!

"When Teacher Wang came up to press me with a knife, I really felt like I was going to die!"

Lin Jiaxin said in a low voice.

Bai Zhou nodded and said, "Don't talk about you, I'm a little scared!"

Tao Yinghong gave Xiao Heyun a knife, and then Li Shiqing was directly stabbed in the neck, not to mention the cycle, even if he was dreaming, he would wake up with fright, especially the eyes of Teacher Wang Dan, which seemed to be eating people!

"Good job!"

Teacher Wang Dan has recovered, she is smiling, and she can't see the way she murdered with a knife just now!

"Thank you teacher for the compliment!"

Here, Zhou You is still looking through the material to see if there is anything missing. After all, the next thing to shoot is the road scene and the police station scene!

"Act separately, each of these actors has their own stories, especially Wang Xingde and his wife, Ma Guoqiang, Jiao Xiangrong...Shen Bo, you come to film the stories of these people!"

"Row!"

The scene in the car was over, and it was in the afternoon when Zhou You announced: "I invite everyone to have a big meal today, and we will have another day off tomorrow, and we will continue filming the day after tomorrow!"

The scenes in the car have been filmed for almost ten days, and the National Day in October has already passed, and during the National Day period, the movie theaters are really busy!
In ten days alone, there were four movies that broke [-] million yuan. Among them, the box office of the leading sci-fi movie "Racing in Time and Space" has already exceeded [-] million yuan!

According to this trend, this film should have the hope of breaking [-] million!
"Everyone has worked hard recently, but the progress of this filming has exceeded my expectations!"

Zhou You was holding a wine glass, and the whole crew was there, after all, who wouldn't want to have a big meal!

"Director Zhou is really generous!"

"Nonsense, "Those Years" has a box office of more than 2 million yuan. If it were me, I would be generous!"

"Speaking of which, this drama only has fifteen episodes, so the TV station probably won't accept it!"

"This is not clear!"

Fifteen episodes is indeed a bit too short. Basically, it can be finished in seven or eight days, and the schedule of the TV station is not easy to adjust. However, some people are definitely willing to want the new film of the Preacher, but the ratings may not be too high!
The crew has cooperated with Zhou You many times. Although Ding Xiang found it, in fact, almost all of these people listen to Zhou You now.

Firstly, the cooperation is pleasant, and secondly, it is not ambiguous at all to give money here!
From board and lodging to remuneration, they are much higher than other crews. Who wouldn't want to cooperate with this kind of boss!
After eating, it was already dark, and I didn’t want to leave anyone when I was traveling. I just said that I will cook in Qingshui Lake tomorrow when the show is over, so come if you want to!

……

Everyone else left, but Zhou You and Ding Xiang went to the top floor cafe to watch the night view.

The night view of Lin'an is very beautiful, especially the current West Lake, where a fire dragon winds like stars on the ground, embellishing the night!

After a while, Ding Xiang's cell phone rang.

She said a few words, then hung up the phone and said, "Here we come!"

He said again: "Speaking of which, isn't it a bit too wasteful for you to go to video sites for this drama!"

Zhou You is very famous now, especially the title of Preacher, so even if this drama only has fifteen episodes, as long as the news is released, many TV stations will definitely rush to grab it!
In fact, someone from Zhejiang TV Station and Huating TV Station had already called to ask, but Zhou You refused.

At first, Ding Xiang explained to Zhou You, hoping that even if he refused, he would not be so straightforward. After thinking about it, Zhou You refused so clearly, maybe he was setting rules for others, or for himself!

After all, I am such a person, I will give you what I should give, and I will not give you a chance if I shouldn't. In this way, it will be much easier to deal with other people in the future.

After all, people in the circle will know Zhou You's temper by then, and know that he says what he says, so it's easy to communicate with him!

"There is nothing to waste, don't look down on video websites, I think everyone will become more accustomed to video websites when watching TV in the future!"

The development of video sites in this world has not been so fast, and this has nothing to do with the content of video sites!
Take movies as an example. When a movie is released, it must first be released on the big screen. It will last until half a year before the digital version will be released. After half a year, the day lily is cold. Who is still watching on the video website? The most important thing Yes, half a year later, who will still promote a film that has already been released?
There are also TV dramas. Generally, TV dramas will only appear on video websites after half a year to a year, and some movies will not even appear on video websites!
Of course, the main problem is because of the contempt chain!

Although the actors are just marionettes, the problem is that they also have conditions. For example, the film they shoot must be a star, or it must be on the big screen!
Actors with a certain status will never let their plays appear on the online video platform before the TV station!
"Then how do you sell it? Buy it out directly or take a share?"

"Of course it's divided, buyout... I'm afraid they won't pay the price I want!"

While talking, Ding Xiang's phone vibrated, Ding Xiang turned her head and saw a big wave wearing glasses walking over.

"Miss Ding, we meet again!"

"Hello, Mr. Qin!"

The two definitely knew each other, but they probably didn't know each other very well from the conversation.

"This is Zhou You, Preacher!"

A strange look flashed in Qin Qin's eyes, she stretched out her fair and slender hands, and said with a smile: "I have heard about my name for a long time, and seeing a hundred things is worth seeing once. I never thought that the preacher is such a handsome young man!"

A brief introduction, three people sat around the table!

Qin Qin, one of the founders of the iTV video website, as a relatively new video website in China, iTV has been eating up market share in just five years, from a rookie to a tycoon now occupying 30.00% of the market , Its development speed is so fast that some established websites are caught off guard!

But the market is so cruel, especially for video sites, where content is king. When other video sites rely on buying copyrights to eat customers, iTV has formed its own team and started producing self-made dramas!

However, the self-produced drama team of Aiyingying has only been working for two years, and they only produced four works. The effect does not seem to be very great. After all, Aiyingying’s investment is not very large, and they obviously do not dare to invest directly in a big way. I can only fumble a little bit!
Qin Qin's chatting is inseparable from Zhou You's three sentences, and he praises Zhou You almost endlessly!
And it looks, not a compliment either!
It is also understandable that Qin Qin's palm loves audiovisual content, so he naturally respects directors like Zhou You more!

"It's like this. I believe you have heard of my new drama "The Beginning". Because the episodes of this drama are too short, I am planning to broadcast it on TV. I want to ask if you are interested. Take over!"

Qin Qin didn't mention the real business all the time, just to seize the opportunity and lower the price, but Zhou You didn't care at all, he really didn't care how much money this movie could make!

Qin Qin put down her coffee cup, sat up straight, and said, "I've read the book of "The Beginning", and I have to say, this book is really wonderful, I like it very much, but as Teacher Zhou said, this play It's too short, only fifteen episodes!"

Although it is a video website with messy content, the price of TV series is usually calculated according to the number of episodes!
These fifteen episodes...

To be honest, Qin Qin really didn't know how to speak!
But the name of the preacher was too loud, and she had to come again!

short?
Short is short!
But wonderful!
Zhou You knocked on the table and said, "Actually, this kind of story is not the only one. I have several dramas with about ten episodes like this!"

Zhou You pointed to his head!

Qin Qin frowned, how many?
"How does it compare to The Beginning?"

"Each has its own merits, but it's definitely not worse than "The Beginning". In terms of excitement, it may even be better!"

This kind of wonderful TV series with more than ten episodes, Zhou You can really find several of them!

Such as "Undocumented Crime", "The Hidden Corner", "The Silent Truth", "Who Is the Murderer", and shorter ones such as "Outside the Court Blind Spot"!
It can be said that it is enough to open up a suspense theater specially!
Qin Qin was silent, if it was true what Zhou You said, it would be different!

But just when she was silent, Zhou You said with a smile: "But these follow-up things have nothing to do with today's matter!" Zhou You pointed to his head, and then said: "Don't be embarrassed, I don't engage in guaranteed payment and other things. , start to take the V point share directly!"

Qin Qin was taken aback, and asked incredulously, "Are you sure? Pure share?"

Movies and TV dramas are nothing else, even if it is a small investment, it is worth a million or more, and their website is currently using such a share, but... no one agrees to the pure share, and it is usually a guaranteed share.

But now that Zhou You actually said that he would only get a share, this must have how much confidence he has in his own work!

"Yes, it's a pure share, but this figure needs to be discussed carefully!"

Seeing Zhou You's insistence, Qin Qin became even more silent. She suddenly thought whether she should buy it out directly, but then thought that if it was bought out, the price might be difficult to negotiate. It is not clear whether the audience on the video platform will eat or not!

You know, TV stations, movie theaters, and video sites are actually three platforms. Although they all play videos, they all have their own characteristics!
"it is good!"

Qin Qin finally chose to listen to Zhou You, and took the pure share!
On the surface, AiTV is taking advantage of it, because AiTV hardly pays any money, even if they share it later, it is only when they make money that they will give Zhou You money!

When the contract was signed, Qin Qin was still a little confused. After all, she had already made psychological expectations before coming here, and even said hello to the financial side!
But now, he got the broadcasting rights of "The Beginning" without spending a penny. Although it's only one year, it's enough!
"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation!"

　Hit, only one update!Excuse me!
