Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

Although the first season of Chess Soul is temporarily over, the influence of this work is still fermenting.

First of all, Jing Yu's screenwriting fee is converted according to his performance. Jing Yu received 9% of the screenwriting fee, 4% of the actor's participation fee, and hundreds of thousands of music copyright usage fees.

This part of the tangible income is calculated based on the two additional funds invested in the later period. After deducting the tax, the amount that goes into Jingyu's pocket is about 6 million yuan.

But on the other hand, the copyright income of this work of Qihun is also very objective.

Less than a day after the end of the game, the number of reservations for the first season of the first season of the game on Yunteng TV's official website exceeded 2.5 million, and orders for various peripherals ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions.

Of course, based on the results of the first season of Qihun, Jingyu can get a very small percentage of the income from this. If the results of the second season of Qihun are better, Jingyu's copyright dividend ratio will also increase accordingly. .

These benefits are far greater than Jing Yu's so-called screenwriting fee and participation fee based on the existing order volume, which is at least 20 to 30 million.

After Jing Yu made some calculations, he was also silent for a while.

Although he does not have high requirements for material life, it is still difficult for him to calm down after earning a fortune of tens of millions within a few months.

Of course, Yunteng TV station is the one who earns a lot of money. Considering the current popularity of the TV series "Soul of Chess", the expected income for the station exceeds everyone's expectations.

However, the excitement was limited to the first few days. After the middle of March, Jing Yu was overwhelmed with all kinds of work.

The second season of Chess Soul, stand-in, script creation of the three dramas of Steins;Gate, and shooting progress, quality control, personal shooting of the two dramas, shooting of various promotional videos and trailers

In the crew of Soul of Chess, I want to play Zuo Wei, a calm and cute handsome boy, but in the crew of Steins;Gate, I have to play Zhou Gang, a second-year middle school student.

Of course, although the name of Rintaro Okabe in the original work was changed by Jing Yu to Zhou Gang who is close to the style of the Great Zhou, Jing Yu still retains the nickname he gave himself in the second grade of "Phoenix Court".

All in all, it was a very high school sophomore. Yu Youqing and Xia Yining laughed for a while during filming.

Yu Youqing and Xia Yining have excellent acting skills, and the two roles of Makise and Li Shiina are actually not difficult roles to play.

As long as characters like a rational and calm beautiful girl scientist and a cute and natural girl are good-looking, the audience will generally not have too many other requirements for them.

But the only thing that made the crew members have something to say is that

It has been shooting for almost a week, and no one knows what everyone has shot this week.

The script distributed to the actors is loose and illogical

Compared with Chess Soul, you can feel the boringness of this drama during the filming process.

It is said to be a suspense drama, but I didn't see any suspense. The protagonist spends all day fiddling with microwave ovens, emails, and then interacts with the characters in the drama on a daily basis.

Although everyone temporarily believes that with Jing Yu's strength and level, the drama created will not be so boring forever, but generally speaking, everyone is a little worried about the rhythm of the early stage of the drama, will it be Drive the audience away.

No wonder it needs to be stated in the TV interview in advance that this drama is very slow

This does not mean that the audience's patience is expected to wear out anytime soon.

Then another crew filmed

Jing Yu plays a secondary classmate in it, which can be regarded as a small benefit. In the first few episodes, he will receive lunch, so it will not affect the filming of the other two dramas too much.

Of course, Xia Yining and Yu Youqing also played two extras in this play.

For example, in the original work, Yu Youqing played the girl whose throat was pierced by the tip of her own umbrella because she stumbled and fell down the stairs.

The death of this girl is an important plot for the work of the stand-in to tear away its true colors.

And Xia Yining played the role of the nurse who was involved in the hospital cursed by the protagonists. When the protagonist was talking on the phone, the elevator had an accident and died miserably!

In comparison, everyone in the stand-in crew, holding the scripts of the first two episodes given by Jing Yu, everyone is very itchy. The drama has not yet been filmed, but they are all eager to know what the plot of the third episode will be like. up.

The ratings for this drama will definitely not be low.

Teacher Jing Yu knows the audience of Da Zhou very well, and knows what kind of work they want to see, just this kind of bloody, violent, and inexplicable death.

As for the crew of the Soul of Chess, it is the same. The second season of the crew has invested a lot of money, so the scenes of the professional competition in the drama can be filmed more delicately. Even because they are curious about Jing Yu and the crew is really willing to spend money, the second season It also invited many real professional chess players from Dazhou to play guest roles.

After all, these professional chess players actually have a lot of traffic.

Needless to say, Li Le has made guest appearances in the play many times.

And Li Le's master, Zhou Zhengguang, was also invited by Jing Yu to play a part-time chess player.

Of course, his purpose is to come to Jingyu to play chess in this process to improve his chess skills

late March

There is only one week left in April.

Major TV stations have also begun to promote their own summer dramas.

Xingtong invested hundreds of millions in the big-budget fantasy drama "Black Cat" this quarter, Didu TV invested 90 million in the suspense drama "Manual", and Vision TV invested 116 million in the suspense drama "Under the Cliff". of you!".

Having absorbed the shame of being overtaken by the ratings of Qihun in the later stage last season, Vision TV has spent a lot of money this quarter.

In the top ten list of TV drama stars in Dazhou, its "You Under the Cliff" directly invited three people, and the salary of these three people accounted for nearly the investment of the whole work. This is because they were praised by Vision in the past. It's red, that's why it's a friendly price.

Moreover, the three of them have been deeply involved in the film industry for these years and they don't make TV series very much. After all, Da Zhou and Jing Yu are still the same in their previous lives. The TV series stars of small TV stations ran to big TV stations, and the famous TV series stars wanted to make movies.

But even so, the three were still invited by Vision to film a TV series.

Although the unspoken rule of the film and television drama industry in Dazhou is that the investment of actors should occupy less than one-third of the total investment of the entire drama, but inviting stars of this scale to participate in TV dramas must make an exception

Compared with the spring program, the investment of the three major TV stations in the summer program's main drama is undoubtedly higher than that of the spring program.

The first season of the Soul of Chess posed too great a threat to the three companies, and no one wanted to be overtaken by the second season of the Soul of Chess in terms of ratings in the summer.

This is not only related to face, but also related to interests. Your ratings rank is low, and it is not easy to negotiate with manufacturers about advertising costs, and the stock price will fluctuate, and investor confidence will weaken.

In comparison, the investment level of more than 50 million for Soul of Chess is much lower, but there are still many film critics who think that the ratings of Soul of Chess in the summer show will be at least the top two. The ratings of the file reached the top.

But this is normal. Some people commented that the ratings of the second season of the game will fall out of the top 20, top 30. The plot of the second season of the game collapsed and ended anticlimactically. Film critics and the media basically write whatever articles have traffic.

By the end of March, the promotional pages of the new summer dramas of major TV stations were overwhelming.

Because there are two of the six major TV stations in the Modu area, and Yunteng's spoiler, the competition is particularly fierce.

Walking on the street, there are posters of the second season of the soul of chess, and promotional leaflets of Xingtong's summer drama "Black Cat", subway entrances, bus bodies, commercial areas, and even movie theaters.

Advertising competition is everywhere.

And just as Cheng Lie said, the support of the two dramas, Stand-In and Steins;Gate, is actually a little low. Basically, all the resources in the theater can be given to Chess Soul. Compared with Qihun, the two dramas are indeed favored It was left out a lot, and the trailer was only broadcast during the advertising time of Yunteng TV station.

Off-stage publicity, almost no

But Jing Yu couldn't help it.

Anyway, for the play Steins;Gate, it's useless to promote it in the early stage. This work has to rely on the quality of the work to slowly ferment.

It's a pity that the drama of the stand-in does not have good publicity resources. If it can be given a certain amount of funds to promote it, Jing Yu thinks it must be worth the money, but the station insists on allocating all resources to the promotion of the soul of chess. What do you say, do you object? He is also very helpless, but anyway, the fertilizer and water are left in his own field, so let's let it go

March is ending quietly, and April is coming quietly.

And it just so happens that at 8pm on April 1st, it happens to be the first episode of the stand-in show and the first episode of the main suspense drama "Manual" on the summer show of Imperial TV TV.

However, the focus of everyone's attention is only on whether the ratings of the first broadcast of "Manual" can break 6. There are very few media reporting on "Stand-In".

Basically, no one in the entire film and television drama industry thinks that the work of "Stand-In" will pose a threat to "Manual"

Small cost, no publicity, no big-name movie stars, and even Jing Yu, a screenwriter with his own traffic, didn't play a main role in it

Although it is a suspense drama like "Manual", but in the eyes of many people, the drama "Stand-In" seems to be written with the word "bad street".

Except for the fans of Chess Soul

Although Jing Yu didn't play the leading role in this drama, the actor still escaped!

After three weeks of absence, who can understand how much these Zuowei fans miss Jing Yu?

During the daytime, fans of the Soul of Chess have already been scrambling to tell in the group.

Anyway, if you can support the first episode of Mr. Jing Yu's new drama, please support it, and you must give me some face.

As for whether to chase or not, let’s see if the quality of the first episode is good or not.
