The Golden Age of China Entertainment

If you want to come to Beijing and Taiwan, you are willing to get rid of their burden. Among other things, at least you don't have to spend another sum of money every month to pay them wages.

"This matter can be studied carefully, but we still don't have the start-up capital? The hope is that Taili invested. Even if Taili is willing to give us the profits from external sales, how long will it take?"

Yi Qing clicked on the piece of paper: "The money will come from here. Didn't Taili want us to make another film, and also ask for speed and economy? We don't want Taili's investment, let's borrow money from Taili. Not much, just 50. I will make a TV series with at least 30 episodes for you. After the filming is finished, Beijing TV has the right of first refusal, that is, the first broadcast, and the remaining sales rights to other local TV stations. It’s up to us, we sell the money and return the money to Taili, and the rest is ours.”

Li Hong was a little confused: "You mean, after our movie is finished, if Jingtai wants to buy it, they will have to pay for it?"

"That's necessary, otherwise how can we call it independent, but as our superior unit, we can give them the right of first refusal, if they think it's good, buy it, if they don't think it's good, we'll consider other local stations."

The approach proposed by Yi Qing is almost the operation method of many film and television production companies in the future. Those companies are almost all under the name of a certain TV station, and the new works are first selected by the mother's family.

It's just that the country now implements a unified purchase and sales system for film and television drama works. All film and television drama works are calculated according to the length, and the price is fixed every minute. It's no longer a problem.

"Well, I'll do as you said. I'll go to Taiwan this afternoon and talk to them about it."

Li Hong's style of doing things is to act swiftly and vigorously, and she will definitely not procrastinate when it is decided. As for the script of "Crossing the Guandong", don't say that Yi Qing is anxious, even she can't see the foresight of the old leaders on stage.

Although Yi Qing only proposed a general direction, after Li Hong thought about it carefully, he felt that this matter was completely feasible. When the production center was established, Jingtai also hoped that the production center would produce miracles and make more excellent TV dramas. In [-], Mao didn't see him, and he had to pay to support a group of people.

If it weren't for the fact that the people in the center are full-time employees, Taili would have cut off the center unit long ago. Now that the production center has to operate independently, I'm afraid Jingtai would still be happy to see it succeed, and pay some benefits. From now on, let the Center do its own thing.

"What do you plan to write for our good start script, 50? Are you sure you can make a 30-episode TV series?"

Although "Four Generations Under One Roof" only invested 80 yuan in Beijing and Taiwan, a lot was added in the follow-up, and the remuneration of the actors and staff borrowed from the crew were all paid by Beijing. After the filming of the play, it cost almost more than 130 million.

Yi Qing now said that 50 yuan would be enough to film a TV series with at least 30 episodes, why did Li Hong suddenly feel like a satellite broadcast when he heard it.

This kid is not bragging, is he?

"50, don't ask for a cent, I'll give you the script of three episodes tomorrow!"

When Yi Qing said this, Li Hong became a little curious: "Okay, I'll see what kind of script you submit tomorrow."

After coming out of Li Hong's office, Yi Qing rode directly home. He had free work and didn't have to work from [-] to [-] every day. Now he was going to start creating again. There were too many people in the work unit, so he couldn't write at all. It's still quiet at home.

As for what to write, Yi Qing has already figured it out. If he really wants to meet the requirements of "as fast as possible and save money" and keep the investment within 50, then there is only one theme.

Chapter 81 Sitcoms

The next day, still in Li Hong's office, Yi Qing handed in the three-episode scripts that she had written all night, probably because there were Zhuyu from "Longing" and "Crossing the Guandong" in front of her, and Li Hong immediately turned to the work at hand. Throwing it aside, he read Yi Qing's new work with great interest, looking forward to new surprises.

But~~~~~~~~

"Xiao Yi! You wrote this script~~~~~~~~~~~"

Rao is Li Hong, a talented student who graduated from the Chinese Department of Peking University. For a while, he couldn't think of a word that was more suitable to summarize this script.

"It's a bit unorthodox!"

In the end, Yi Qing came up with a very striking adjective, which was just right.

Li Hong put down the script, and said angrily: "You are so embarrassed to say it, what are you writing about, a drama is not like a drama, and a comedy is not like a comedy, but it looks a bit like a sketch."

This year's Spring Festival Gala, Chen Xiaoer and Zhu Laomao brought the performance of sketches to the stage for the first time. Dominate language programs on stage.

"You're right, it's really based on the sketches. Although these three episodes of scripts all take place in the same family, each episode has a story, and there is only a connection between the characters. It's a long sketch. Not wrong."

Yi Qing spoke seriously about her seemingly unserious script, and she really couldn't say anything: "But this kind of TV series, you think the audience will like it."

From Li Hong's point of view, Yi Qing's script is not only unorthodox, but deviant. The story unfolds in a family, but this family can't find a real positive character with a tall image.

The general character structure of today's film and television dramas is good guys and bad guys. At best, they are full of ignorant and blind people. Good is good, bad is bad, and the boundaries are clear.

As for the main characters in Yi Qing's story, they are said to be good people, but everyone has a bunch of small problems. They are said to be bad people, but they have never done any bad things. obvious.

Will the audience like such a TV series?

Yi Qing asked rhetorically: "Comedy TV series can make people enjoy watching. Why don't the audience like them, Director Li, in fact, this type of TV series has long existed abroad, such as "I'm a TV Show" broadcast by American CBS TV station in 1951. "Love Lucy" is like this, absurd, humorous, each episode has a small story, since this type of TV series is very popular in the United States, why not in China?"

In fact, according to Yi Qing’s previous life, sitcoms not only have the soil to survive in China, but are also very popular. Starting from "The Story of the Editorial Department", "I Love My Family", "A Family in the Northeast", "The Cooking Class" Story", as well as the popular "Wulin Biography", each sitcom has had a great impact on society.

Those classic characters and classic lines are even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than many dramas, and some of them can still laugh along with "hehe" after watching it more than ten years later.

When Li Hong was asked by Yi Qing, she really didn't know how to refute, so she could only correct the characters: "But the characters you wrote are liked by the audience. Being the father-in-law is rigid and dogmatic, and being a daughter-in-law is behind the scenes." Talking about the old man, the son not only does not stop it but also echoes it, and this little daughter said, "Learning English all day long, but seeing Chinese characters gives me a headache". Stubborn, I really can't find a positive character in this."

That's right, the current film and television dramas are full of Gao Daquan, Wei Guangzheng, Yi Qing is not opposed to portraying heroes, and agrees with the educational significance brought by those heroes, but film and television dramas cannot be full of such characters. No matter how others feel sorry for him, he never complains, he forgives all his life, helps those in need all his life, and at the last moment of his life, he still has to think about those who need help around him.

There are indeed such people, such as those who left 8 years ago, decades, even hundreds of years later, people still miss them, but how many such great men can there be?

What people see in their lives are more ordinary people, who do no great good, do no great evil, live their lives in a down-to-earth manner, live their lives according to their duties, have some small problems on their bodies, and also have shining points of human nature. The characters are real.

What Yi Qing wants to write is just such a story, a story about a family of ordinary people in the capital.

"Director, this story I wrote is for ordinary people. After watching this play, the audience will laugh and have a little inspiration. I don't even dare to say that it is educational. I am also an ordinary person. What educates others."

After hearing this, Li Hong felt that Yi Qing was deviant, but he had to admit that what Yi Qing said made sense. The common people in China have already received a lot of education. They were educated by teachers at school, educated by their parents at home, and led by their leaders at work. Education, watching a TV series is to relax after studying and working, it is better to make them happy.

"Then let's try it."

Li Hong finally made up her mind. Even though she felt that the structure of this story was different from the current popular film and television dramas, she couldn't deny that she really found this story very interesting.

"By the way, why doesn't this play have a name?"

"Yes, I have!"

As Yi Qing said, she got up, went to Li Hong's desk, picked up a pen, and wrote four large characters on the top of the first page of the script—I love my family!

That's right, this drama is what Yi Qing wants to shoot. Although in his previous life, this drama was not the first sitcom in China, but in terms of influence, "I Love My Family" definitely surpasses "The Story of the Editorial Department" ".

The two dramas also reflect current social phenomena, but "Story from the Editorial Department" is limited by the shooting environment and background, and there is no way for the characters to conflict with each other. "My Home" is different.

In human social activities, the most conflict is not the workplace, but the family, the concept conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the conflict between sisters-in-law, the conflict of interests between brothers, and the things between neighbors. Together, is there anything more lively than this?

This drama has actually been in Yi Qing's plan for a long time, but he didn't expect to come out so soon, because when this drama was broadcast in the previous life, it was already in the middle of the 90s, and there were many backgrounds of the story, and it is simply impossible to act now. not suitable.

However, in order to transfer Fu Yiwei's work as soon as possible, Yi Qing didn't care too much, and took out what could be filmed, and released what couldn't be filmed first. Anyway, Yi Qing didn't intend to make this film like the original version. It will end at 200 episodes, and what he wants to do is to make this theme into a series, shoot one season every year, with [-] episodes per season, and it is best to make it the longest-running sitcom in China.

"I love my family. This name is good. No matter what problems the family has, no matter what shortcomings the family has, the family is the place where a person is most worthy of love. This name is good, so I will use this."

"Director Li, we have the script, and our funding matters~~~~~~~"

Li Hong smiled: "I have already borrowed 50 yuan, and Taili also agreed to my proposal. From now on, our production center will be self-reliant and develop independently."

"What about my girlfriend's job?"
