Chapter 214 "Celebrating More Than Years" Trilogy and Noon Sunshine

Wei Yang has been clamoring for a big fight since last year, but due to manpower, he has never used his fists.

But now, Tang Ren's "Scary Step By Step" is about to be finished, and some manpower can be freed up. Blue Whale has also cultivated some new forces, so it doesn't need to be stretched.

So Blue Whale operated four projects at the same time.

"Chef Fang, Carrying the Pot", "Soul Ferry" and "Carat Lover", as well as Wei Yang's most valued new drama "Celebrating More Than Years" starring him.

"Chef Fang Carrying the Pot among the Flowers" is just to support Xiao Zhao.

This novel was just published last year, so it's not very popular, but it has a good subject matter, and it was copyrighted by Wei Yang's Orange Shell.

The heroine of this show is smart, cute, smart and lively, in line with the sweet girl route that Blue Whale made for Xiao Zhao, and the personality is pleasing and easy to become a fan.

In fact, Wei Yang thought about making Xiao Zhao's masterpiece "A Thousand Bone Flowers", but the time is not yet ripe.

It’s okay to invest in special effects. The key Red Shark’s game production capabilities have not kept up, and the game has not been developed. It’s not worth the candle to start this project rashly.

The left and right copyrights have always been in his hands, so Wei Yang is not in a hurry. First, he will shoot two sweet girl dramas or play other roles to improve Xiao Zhao's popularity, and then it will not be too late to shoot "A Thousand Bone of Flowers".

The original time and space of "Fang Chef Lifting the Pot" was two seasons, mainly because I was afraid that the effect would not be good, so I made a small one season to test the waters.

Now the Blue Whale definitely doesn't have this consideration. It directly combines two into one, and the script is full, with a total of 36 episodes.

This drama is directed by Lin Yufen after the hit of "East Palace", and a considerable part of the staff is also the "East Palace" team, and the configuration is quite good.

"Soul Ferry" is a project that Wei Yang and several high-level executives discussed and finally decided on.

Well, the first pure web drama should be more eye-catching. "Soul Ferry" has elements such as suspense, supernatural, myth and reality.

After all, it is difficult to see this kind of subject matter on TV stations. It can only be broadcast as an online drama, and a large number of viewers will come to "seek excitement".

If you switch to other themes, it's not that you can't shoot, but the lineup must be relatively improved, otherwise the results and the price of the drama will not be guaranteed.

Even in "Soul Ferry", in addition to Li Jiahang, the pre-determined male lead, Wei Yang also considered letting Nazha join him. Later, Lei Chun refused to let him go, so he considered other candidates.

Since it is the first season, and the online drama market is still unclear, Blue Whale is more cautious. The first season only has 20 episodes.

However, there is a difficulty at present that the role of Zhao Li, who is relatively outstanding, has not been determined for a long time, and the director does not have any suitable candidates for the time being.

"Carat Lover" is relatively simple. It is a typical urban idol drama, and it is also the specialty of Blue Whale. This drama is for admiring people + making money.

As I said before, the show was originally set for Hu Ge, the Tang man, and I wanted him to bring an artist with a blue whale.

But Hu Ge himself is not very interested in this kind of modern idol drama. If Blue Whale and Tangren ask, he can also act, but the key is that now there is Qiao Zhenyu who participated in "Scary Step by Step".

If "Scary Step by Step" can reach the original time and space, the effect of letting him act is better than inviting Hu Ge, and he is still his own artist.

But now this show is a collaboration between Blue Whale and Tang Ren. If the female lead, male lead, and second female lead are all Blue Whale, Lao Cai may have objections, so we need to discuss it.

The original version of "Carat Lovers" is actually not bad, it can't be called a masterpiece, but it is definitely an idol drama above the standard.

The disadvantage is that the plot is too watery. In order to expand the number of episodes and make more money, I played my life toss, and even delayed the schedule of the male lead, so that the male and female leads broke up. In the end, the second male lead ended abruptly. It is really a coquettish operation .

Although Blue Whale also loves to make money, he still cares about his reputation. After all, the signboard is valuable.

So Wei Yang asked the screenwriter to refine the plot, removing nearly 20 episodes of the original version, and the final product is 50 episodes.

At the same time, the ending cannot be changed. The male and female protagonists love each other for dozens of episodes, and they end up with the other one. Isn't this just walking people?

The director of "Carat Lovers" is Blue Whale's director Liu Junjie. With his level and the quality of the team that Blue Whale has honed over the years, Wei Yang basically doesn't need to worry about this drama.

In contrast, Wei Yang himself will focus on "Celebrating More Than Years" later on.

Wei Yang went to the starting point before, wandered around and won the film and television copyrights of several dramas, one of which was "Celebrating More Than Years".

The influence of this book itself is not bad. At the current starting point, the historical classification belongs to the existence of the ceiling.

From 2008 to 2009, during the serialization of the novel "Celebrating More Than Years", it was once the third place in the monthly ticket list of the starting point, and it was ranked above it by "The Law of Demons" dancing at its peak and "Coiling Dragon" by Tomato.

However, the difficulty of adapting these two novels is much more difficult than "Celebrating More Than Years", so Wei Yang chose the latter.

The adaptation of male-frequency online novels has always been a problem. There are too many scenes of fantasy and fairy tales, and there are too many minefields for urban themes. History is a relatively easy subject.

Mao Ni doesn’t discuss it himself, but the style advantage of his works lies in the plot layout and character creation, and the world view is relatively less exaggerated, which are very suitable for film and television adaptation.

Therefore, compared to other male video masters, his works have been adapted the most times by film and television, and his results are also the best.

Wei Yang attaches great importance to "Celebrating More Than Years". The TV series he acted in before are basically idol dramas, and many of them are from a female perspective.

Even if "Eastern Palace" later increased the role of conspiracy, the emotional line still has a large proportion.

That's why Wei Yang is very good at praising actresses, because the core tone of many dramas is romance, and some of them can even be called heroine dramas.

"Celebrating More Than Years" is different. It takes the male protagonist Fan Xian as the core perspective, and it is an out-and-out male protagonist drama.

To some extent, it can be regarded as Wei Yang's semi-transformation, no longer obsessed with romance, but started to start a career.

The original novel of "Celebrating More Than Years" is nearly 400 million words, and it is definitely impossible to finish filming a drama, so it is planned to be divided into three parts.

The first season is similar to the original version, Fan Xian was born + Fengyun in Kyoto + envoy to Northern Qi.

The plot of the second season is to go to the south of the Yangtze River to open a bank + the prince rebelled, the battle of Dadongshan, the eldest princess and the four great masters all died.

The third season is the conquest of Dongyi City, the death of Chen Pingping, the confrontation with Emperor Qing and his son, visits to the temple, finding out the truth, and killing Emperor Qing.

The script was created by Wei Yang with two apprentices and La Lai to reinforce Wang Juan.

Of course, only the first season has been written so far, and the next two seasons are just plans and preparations. Whether or not to shoot depends on the feedback of the first season.

But if the plan goes well, these three dramas plus movies will be enough for Wei Yang to be busy in the next 2-3 years.

After the filming of "Shanshan Is Coming", the project preparations for "Celebrating More Than Years" have already begun. The script of the first season is 45 episodes, and the estimated investment is only a lot more than that of "Eastern Palace".

Now it is more difficult to decide on the director and casting, especially the director. The reason for the delay in casting "Celebrating More Than Years" to a certain extent is that Wei Yang has never made a decision on the director.

Blue Whale Lin and Liu, the two leading directors, are not available, and they are not very good at this subject.

To be honest, most of the plot scenes in "East Palace" were shot by Wei Yang's director Li Muge (formerly the director of "East Palace") and other executive directors. Lin Yufen was not too sensitive about this aspect.

The director Li Muge is a talented person, and Wei Yang also signed him to Blue Whale after filming "East Palace".

However, this buddy is first-class in photography, lighting, modeling, and location. He is good at taking beautiful pictures of beautiful men and beautiful women, but plot laying and rhythm control are not his strong points.

To put it bluntly, Li Muge is a technically assisted director. When filming "East Palace", it was Wei Yang who asked for it, and then handed it over to him to make the best of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

For the filming of "Celebrating More Than Years" this time, Wei Yang intends to still lead Li Muge, but his strengths and weaknesses are too obvious, and it is impossible for Wei Yang to be the director every day.

"East Palace" Wei Yang is only responsible for controlling the filming and plot, technology and execution Li Muge is in charge, and Lin Yufen will give him the bottom line.

If it was all directed at Wei Yang alone, he would be able to hold on, and he didn't want to be so tired.

Therefore, Wei Yang planned to find another director to co-direct with Li Muge, so he pulled Zhang Yongxin out in advance.

This buddy is the director of "The Great Military Division: The Military Division Alliance" and "Awakening Age". He is still in Shanying, and he can be regarded as one of Kong Sheng's deputy.

Zhang Yongxin is good at plot and character creation, and he is also a director that Wei Yang admires more. This time, he plans to recruit him and form a partner with Li Muge, one inside and one outside, a perfect match.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yongxin is also a fellow of Wei Yang's Zaoshi, and he is a little more sure of digging Wei Yang's foot.

In addition, Wei Yang also brought Sun Hao, the original director of "Celebrating More Than Years", to the director team.

This buddy is the most qualified of the three directors at the moment. He has already independently directed several star TV dramas, but they are basically small-budget family dramas. "Celebrating More Than Years" is a big trilogy production that is expected to invest hundreds of millions , was a great temptation to him.

Even if there is hope to gather three "famous directors", Boss Wei, who has always been steady, is still a little worried.

After all, these three famous directors are still in the growth stage, and the investment of hundreds of millions can't just be used for training them.

So Wei Yang is currently in contact with the newly established Noon Sunshine, hoping to borrow Kong Sheng for a few months to help film the first season of "Celebrating More Than Years", and train several of his own directors by the way.

When the filming of the first season is finished and several directors have grown up, Kong Sheng will be able to "retire to the second line".

However, Noon Sunshine had just been established, pointing to Kong Sheng as a pillar, it was impossible to let go easily, Wei Yang promised a lot of conditions.

For example, you can take out a part of "Celebrating More Than Years" to invest in Noon Sunshine. The project at Noon Sunshine is short of money and the conditions are right. Wei Yang can also bring blue whales or emerald shrimps to participate in the investment, and even Wei Yang himself can play a part. A play in the midday sun.

This is what the midday sun is waiting for!
Wei Yang basically doesn't accept external projects now, but his popularity is so hot that everyone is greedy and tries his best to reach a cooperation with him.

Kong Sheng is very important to Noon Sunshine, but if Wei Yang can be exchanged to participate in the performance, it will be of great significance to Noon Sunshine, which has just been established and intends to increase its commercial attributes.

Therefore, after consultation, Kong Sheng is expected to become the chief director of "Celebrating More Than Years", with Li Muge, Zhang Yongxin and Sun Hao as directors.

Wei Yang himself owes Noon Sunshine a big favor, but he doesn't care.

Noon Sunshine likes his popularity, and he also likes Noon Sunshine's team and high-quality projects. As long as he can make money, Wei Yang will not only pay people but also pay.

Noon Sunshine: You are so weird!
