Cultivate a male god: After listening to persuasion, I became a top-notch

Chapter 463: What the hell are you kidding about?
Behind the desk in the office of Tongchenshe, with the crackling sound of keyboards, the script of "My Captain, My Group" quickly took shape by stacking paragraphs of text.

Li Youzhi has transferred many scripts from that world in his memory, but the current "Leader" can be said to be the smoothest he has ever transferred.

After all, he is so familiar with this show!

This drama was originally a war drama filmed by director Kang Honglei in 2009, but it was not the director who really injected soul into the drama, but the screenwriter Lan Xiaolong.

Yes, it was the 249 who wrote "Soldier Assault".

The reason why I was deeply impressed by this drama is that during the filming of this drama, first a pyrotechnics accident caused three crew members to be injured, one of whom died. Later, a serious accident occurred and more than 30 people were accidentally injured. Two crew members The accident affected the filming and the crew ran out of funds, resulting in the script not being fully filmed.

Because of this regret, screenwriter Lan Xiaolong later compiled the script into a novel of the same name and published it.

But even so, this war drama, which was not perfect, had a great impact on Li Youzhi, who later accidentally discovered the drama.

The drama "Leader" is a proper group drama. It is not like a certain battle or a certain victory that was the main highlight in previous anti-war dramas. It tells... about each and every person struggling to survive in the war. Struggling people!

Among these people were Meng Fan, an intellectual young man who had lost his ideals at a young age and hid his hopes and devoted himself to ruining his life. There is a mythical dragon who has lost everything under the iron heel of the invaders, but still remains optimistic and innocent.

There is a good old veterinarian who sneaks into the army to find his son who was captured as a young man. He wants to save people but can't save even one person. He wants to avenge his father who was killed by the Japanese soldiers. As a top student major of the officer training corps, he... Ah Yi, who has never fought in a war...

And the evil leader Long Wenwen, who had experienced too many defeats and watched the loss of his home and country, was heartbroken and anxious, and finally relied on deceit and trickery to pull up a cannon fodder group, just to make things turn into the way they should be.

Under Lan Xiaolong's script and Kang Honglei's direction, each of these characters in the play is portrayed extremely vividly, and each character can even make people find their own shadow.

On the surface, this is a war drama, but in Li Youzhi's opinion, this drama is more about how people deal with difficult or even desperate situations!

It talks about conscience, debates right and wrong, and discusses hope and faith!

Before he came to this world, Li Youzhi would read this drama almost every year, and even read the book of the same name when he encountered something unpleasant in his life.

Every time I watch it, I can see something new in the play and gain strength.

It is precisely because of this attribute that the drama "Leader" has a very high audience stickiness in Li Youzhi's memory.

With only one-fifth of the plot filmed, it gained millions of loyal fans in the ten years after its release and became the god of war movies in the eyes of countless viewers!
When he saw the outrageous suggestion put forward by Leziren netizens, the first thing Li Youzhi thought of was "Bright Sword" and this "Leader".

Like this drama, "Bright Sword" is actually an unfinished drama.

But compared to the second half of "Leader", which could not be fully filmed due to financial problems caused by an accident, "Bright Sword" was related to a special era, so the real ending was not easy to pass the review at all.

Now that he has this ability, Li Youzhi decided to do "Leader" after some weighing!
In the office, with Li Youzhi's fingers flying, the script for "Leader" was quickly completed.

After completing the copyright registration, Li Youzhi sent the script to Liu Xiuyi.

Looking at the OK gesture sent by Liu Xiuyi in the WeChat chat interface, Li Youzhi silently opened the phone's address book and dialed Liu Yun's phone number.

Recalling the two accidents that occurred in the original film, Li Youzhi felt a little stressed during this filming.

Regarding his character and strength, although Li Youzhi occasionally swelled, he remained absolutely sober most of the time.

Zhi Ge is good at using the camera and telling stories, but for a drama like "The Leader" with a relatively large crew, in addition to the technical aspects, it is more about coordination and scheduling.

So someone had to come over and help him, and Liu Yun, who had made spy war and anti-war films for 20 years before, was undoubtedly the most suitable assistant director.

Not long after the call was dialed, the call was answered.

"Hey, you finally remembered me? Good guy, I thought you had transcended the Five Elements after becoming Mr. Ten Billion Box Office."

"Dear" and "The Wandering Earth" were two consecutive dramas, which not only made Li Youzhi a lot of money, but as the director of "Dear" and one of the producers and investors of "The Wandering Earth", Liu Yun has also been in a bad mood recently.

Not only did he participate in CCTV's "Directors' Collection" variety show, he also served as the vice chairman of the jury at the Beijing University Student Film Festival that just concluded.

Li Youzhi clicked his tongue when he heard Liu Yun's resentful greeting on the phone;
"Brother Liu, look at what you said. I've been watching you busy recently. I'm participating in a variety show and serving as a judge at the College Student Film Festival. Every time I want to call you to say hello, I think about it. You may be protecting your new friends over there, for fear of delaying your relationship..."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Yun, who was planning to make a few jokes about Li Youzhi, was speechless when he heard Li Youzhi's chatter that smelled like tea.

"Okay, okay, just tell me if you have anything to say!"

"I want to make an anti-war drama here, but I need an assistant director. Brother Liu, do you have time recently?"

"Anti-war drama, you?"

Facing Li Youzhi's invitation, Liu Yun was surprised.

"No, the Anti-Japanese War drama is a very low-income theme in my mind. Your kid has two works that are hits at the box office. Are you going to do this?"

Li Youzhi smacked his lips when he heard Liu Yun's expression of incomprehension, as if a scumbag had seen her 195cm new boyfriend's penis being only 2cm.

"Brother Liu, just tell me if you have time."

"I do have time, but I'm really tired of filming the two themes of the Anti-Japanese War and the Spy War. Have you released the script? Send it to me and I'll take a look at it."

Feeling Liu Yun's resistance, Li Youzhi smiled secretly and hung up the phone.

I casually sent over the script of "The Leader".

Twelve minutes later.

beep!
Received amazing points from Liu Yun, 32 points, 32 points, 32 points!
drop!
[Qiangsheng Film and Television] Liu Yun: If I can’t be an assistant director, at least I have to be given a producer!
Hearing a series of system prompts and seeing the message from Liu Yun, Li Youzhi stood up from behind his desk, stretched out, and opened the door to the president's office.

He said "oi" when he saw Liu Meng and Zhou Yuan, who had obviously graduated almost two years ago and still liked to hang out in the activity room of Tongchen Club to watch movies and fight Landlords when they had nothing to do.

"Brother Zhi, what's going on?"

With a smile, Li Youzhi glanced at the guy carrying playing cards and a face full of notes, and waved his hand.

"Stop playing around, let's get to work. Susu's video platform is under development, and we have to hurry up and produce the first drama on the platform. I have already finished the script. It is co-produced with China Film and directed by Liu Yun. It has been confirmed that we will participate as the producer. Because it is about the expeditionary army, we may have to go to Yunnan and Burma to shoot this time. You guys should inform the company and the classmates of Tongchen Club and prepare for a long trip."

After hearing Li Youzhi's arrangement, Zhou Yuan and others immediately became energetic.

Although the "Nezha" project that we just started is interesting, this kind of animation movie actually does not have a sense of participation. As soon as they heard that they were going to shoot a war-themed TV series, a few guys immediately became interested.

"There is no problem with Heguang Culture. After the filming of "Nezha", these bastards almost had to open the roof of the dormitory every day, and they were complained several times by the unit next door for disturbing the residents."

"Brother Zhi... it may not be easy to say here in Tongchen Club. We are on holiday in February, and all the junior students have to go home during the winter vacation to celebrate the New Year..."

Seeing Zhou Yuan's troubled expression, Li Youzhi shook his head helplessly.

What a traitor,

After following Brother Zhi for so long, I'm afraid you may have called me tens of thousands of times. You haven't learned anything about Brother Zhi!

It’s nothing, Brother Zhi has to do it himself!

Looking away from Zhou Yuan, Li Youzhi silently took out his mobile phone and opened the Agricultural University's school QQ group.

[Wako Culture’s latest work has been approved, and now the staff and extras of the Omen crew are available. You need to go to the Yunnan-Myanmar border to shoot outdoor scenes, and all food, accommodation and travel expenses are included. Important, most important! You can issue an internship certificate with the state-owned enterprise seal of China Film Group. Seats are limited and subject to registration order. Registration location: Activity Room of Yifu Building, Chenshe, Agricultural University. 】

At around six o'clock in the afternoon, as Li Youzhi's announcement was sent out, the QQ group of 5000 people at the Agricultural University... exploded!
rumbling...

Seeing Li Youzhi's mobile phone buzzing with a message notification, and then hearing the sound of footsteps like thousands of troops coming from outside Shaw Building, Liu Meng, Zhou Yuan and others silently raised their thumbs.

"Father, slut...ah no, gao!"

Glancing at the few professional admirers, Li Youzhi waved his hand like a fly.

He handed over the registration and entry matters to the three villains, picked up his laptop, and walked to the dormitory.

……

In the next two weeks, Li Youzhi, who had been working as an animation director for more than three months, became busy again.

Together with Liu Yun who came to Rongdian, they gathered the crew and asked Heguang Culture and Tongchen Society's service team to start preparing the costumes and props needed for the shooting.

After settling matters with the crew, they began to finalize the cast based on the list provided by China Film.

In fact, actors can also be chosen here in Rongdian, but the cast of co-stars on the China Film Studio side is stronger. Basically all of them are from the national team, and they can work in group portraits like "The Leader", although the actors on the China Film Studio side are a bit more expensive. , but Li Youzhi still felt that this money could not be saved.

After some deliberation, the cast was finalized. Seeing that there were less than two weeks left before the Chinese New Year, Li Youzhi and Liu Yun rushed to Yunnan with a large force.

Number two. In Heshun Ancient Town, three kilometers southeast of Tengchong County, there is a local restaurant called "Heshun Renjia".

"Mr. Liu, hello, hello, I've been hoping for the stars and the moon, and finally I've got you here!"

"Hey, hello, Xiaozhi-san, you're welcome, you're welcome!"

At the entrance of the hotel, looking at Liu Xiuyi who personally led the team, and the more than 20 "Leader" actors behind him who had been selected based on the information, Li Youzhi grinned directly from the corners of his mouth to his ears.

Most of the actors that China Film Co., Ltd. is cooperating with are from military arts or Chinese backgrounds, and are full-fledged national team players.

But qualifications are not the most important thing. What is important is that it took Li Youzhi a whole week to select more than 20 professional actors from tons of information.

On what basis were you selected?

What are the character traits in "The Leader" in my memory?

Nodding to the actors behind Liu Xiuyi who were sizing him up, Li Youzhi quickly welcomed everyone into the hotel.

Within the hotel's bag.

"Xiao Zhi, the film and television support fund has been approved?"

Just after sitting down, when he heard Liu Xiuyi ask about this, Li Youzhi motioned to the waiter to serve the food and nodded with a smile.

"More than 800 million yuan has been spent on the venue and scenery, haha."

"Hey, it could be that young people are motivated when doing things."

Taking the local rice wine poured by Li Youzhi with both hands, Liu Xiuyi smiled:
"What do you mean, are you going to officially start filming before the year?"

Faced with Liu Xiuyi's inquiry, Li Youzhi, who was holding a wine bottle, nodded.

"Yes, we plan to have in-depth cooperation with the online video platform for the film "Head", so we want to premiere it on the platform during the Spring Festival holiday to attract traffic to the platform. According to my idea, there are still fifteen days left During the Chinese New Year, we will take advantage of this period to film the first five episodes of the film and hand them over to the platform for promotion and premiere."

"Oh~ so."

After hearing Li Youzhi's shooting plan, Liu Xiuyi nodded deeply.

As TV ratings have shrunk in the past two years, it is not uncommon for movies and TV dramas to go directly to online video platforms instead of TV stations.

In the past, when a movie was produced, local TV stations would charge hundreds of thousands or even millions for an episode, and the TV series would be able to make back its money if the first episode of the TV series was sold for [-] or [-] episodes. But now the paid income of online platforms is higher, and the effect of publicity and traffic is more direct, which can be regarded as the general trend.

"Which platform will it be broadcast on? Do we need China Film to cooperate with the publicity?"

Hearing what Liu Xiuyi said, Li Youzhi showed a little shyness.

"exist……"

beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep

Before Li Youzhi could answer, there was a burst of noise from several mobile phones on the table.

Next to Liu Xiuyi, Yuan Zhongwei, who was born in Mandarin and has created many popular characters in CCTV dramas in the past two years with his high-performance acting skills, picked up his mobile phone.

Seeing the hot searches on Weibo on the screen, he said "Yo".

"Hey, Weibo is so busy today, what's wrong with Aiyi's video? It's on the top of the hot search list."

Across Liu Xiuyi, Li Youzhi grinned shyly as he looked at the middle-aged actor who looked a lot like Duan Yihong in his memory.

Hearing Yuan Zhongwei's muttering, 56-year-old Luo Jinmin, who is affiliated with the Shaanxi Theater Theatre, touched his reading glasses and smiled.

"I saw it when I came here. It was said that the latest version of Aiyi's client was updated last night, which optimized the way of advertising. In the past, the pre-roll advertisement was like 60 seconds. If you switch to other software, these 60 seconds are the travel time. of.

But now that it has been updated, if you don’t finish watching the 60-second ad and switch to another program, it will directly pause it for you and wait for you to come back and continue watching it. This is not all, some advertisements are new, that is, as soon as you move your phone, it will directly open the advertising link for you, what is it called... what is the shake ad. No, are netizens making a fuss? "

"Well, I've heard about this too."

As soon as Luo Jinmin finished speaking, Zhang Guoqiang from the Longjiang Drama Troupe next to him became happy.

"It seems that netizens took an unfinished video software to Aiyi's Weibo and made a fuss. They said that the membership fee of that video platform is low and the developer promised never to include advertisements."

beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep

While everyone was chatting, several mobile phones on the table suddenly rang again.

"Hey, Ai Yi's CEO Gong Yu posted a message on Weibo."

"Look and see."

Watching Luo Jinmin, who was wearing reading glasses, cutting melons, the people on the side urged him a few words.

Urged by everyone, Luo Jinmin clicked on the video that had just become a hot search topic.

"First of all, as the CEO of Aiyi Video, I feel very sorry that the new version of Aiyi's advertising promotion method has caused dissatisfaction among users. As we all know, the development of online video platforms is not easy.

Take our Aiyi as an example; in order to provide the best quality content services to netizen audiences, we have been operating at a loss for more than ten years since its establishment in 10 years. At present, the operation and maintenance costs of online video platforms are high, and content copyright fees are high, so increasing advertising revenue is an inevitable trend.

I have read some of the comments on the Internet. We accept the complaints from users and are looking for more reliable solutions. However, for some online rhythms, we will reserve the right to use legal means to safeguard our own rights and interests.

Especially when a well-known artist incites fans to maliciously hype to gain attention. As a video platform operator, I want to say that a large part of the reason why our operation and maintenance costs are so high is because of the current broadcast copyright of film and television works. The cost is seriously exaggerated.

It's like a work of this artist being played on my platform, with a copyright fee of nearly 6000 million. With these 6000 million in copyright fees, they in turn incite fans to stigmatize the platform. The way they pick up their bowls to eat and then put them down to curse their mothers is chilling.

Then there is the video software developed by the artist in order to gain attention, which is a complete fantasy from a business perspective. I would like to warn this person that if he continues to infringe on the rights and interests of Aiyi Video and promote it, our company will pursue it to the end! "

The dinner table.

Seeing the righteous condemnation of Gong Yuyi, who rarely appeared in the video, the group of actors and Liu Xiuyi at the table couldn't help but smack their lips.

"Tsk, who is Gong Yu talking about? Now that he is building a video platform, he is also competing with Ai Yi, who has [-]% of the market share. Isn't this looking for death?"

"This Aiyi advertisement is really annoying, but at present, when the domestic video platforms are Aiyi and Xunteng, the former leaders like Youku are in decline due to the competition of these two companies. He just said that the artist Founded a video platform, right? Who is it? I haven’t heard of any actor who started the platform..."

Seeing everyone at the table wondering, Liu Xiuyi also agreed and turned to look at Li Youzhi.

"Xiao Zhi, you are young and you play a lot on the Internet. Have you heard anything?"

"what,"

Facing Liu Xiuyi's inquiry, Li Youzhi, who had been pretending to be dead for a long time, twisted his body shyly while holding a bottle of drink and sipping it through a straw.

"I know,"

"Talk, talk!"

"The video platform he was talking about is called Heguang Audio-Visual, the movie that bought nearly 6000 million copyrights is called "The Wandering Earth," and the guy who picked up the bowl to eat and put it down to curse..."

Facing the gradually solidified smiles of everyone, Li Youzhi grinned and pointed to the tip of his nose.

"It's just down here."

()()()()
Seeing the shy expression on his face, the room... fell into silence.

After more than ten seconds, Liu Xiuyi, who had a layer of sweat on his forehead, stiffly moved his neck and coughed lightly.

"Um... don't you just want to put this drama "Leader" on your new platform to attract traffic to this video platform?"

"correct."

Seeing Li Youzhi nodding, Liu Xiuyi took a deep breath.

Inexplicably, I felt aggrieved when my college goddess called me late at night and asked me to go to the hotel. I happily took a taxi and arrived, but was told by the goddess that I had booked a room with someone else and forgot to bring my wallet and asked me to come over to pay for the room. However, life!

For a moment, he felt that his ears and mouth slowly turned into the shape of a donkey.

Is this the so-called premiere on a big platform?
Is this the so-called traffic diversion at the beginning of the new year?
This fucking software has already been targeted by the market leader Aiyi even before it is launched, and it is still a joke!
Looking at the embarrassed Li Youzhi next to him, Liu Xiuyi, who wanted to join in a joint production and take advantage of Li Youzhi's current popularity to boost his political achievements, was furious!
