""No Man's Land", "Witnessed by All", "Horror Live", "Quiba's Battle of Yuanyang Realm", three realist-themed movies and one animation movie. Yue Guan, do you like realist-themed movies so much? "Li Ruotong was a little confused.
As far as she knew, Yue Guan didn't seem to be particularly interested in these movies.
Yue Guan shook his head: "It's not that I like it, but from a screenwriter's point of view, it is indeed easier to succeed in writing scripts of this kind. The selling point of commercial blockbusters is not the script. Relatively speaking, screenwriters are not that important. I don't think so. You can’t force it.”
"Actually, you should add yourself. This year's Golden Dragon Award for Best Screenplay was written by you." Mo Xiangwan felt it was a pity.
Yue Guan smiled: "I don't need these false reputations anymore, and since I want to spread the money, I should spread it generously."
"That's very generous of you. Will it hurt Teacher Liu Heping?" Mo Xiangwan suddenly laughed.
Because she saw the last spot for Yue Guan.
Yue Guan has said to the outside world that of his five screenwriting awards, four are for movies and one is for TV series.
The most popular and highest-quality TV series this year is undoubtedly "Game of Thrones". No matter from any aspect, this show is the most deserving of the award.
However, the script of "Game of Thrones" was written by Yue Guan and Liu Heping. In order to avoid suspicion, Yue Guan did not let "Game of Thrones" be shortlisted.
Regarding Mo Xiangwan's question, Yue Guan was very calm: "I have already been angry with Teacher Liu before, and he said it doesn't matter, as long as I invest an additional five million in his new drama."
Even if the screenwriter of "Game of Thrones" received a bonus of 10 million, he and Yue Guan would still be 50/50 at 5 million.
Liu Heping already has no shortage of five million.
He would rather spend the five million on his new play.
Yue Guan had no objection.
It's only five million, which is just drizzle to him now.
Speaking of this, Mo Xiangwan became interested: "When will Teacher Liu's new play be released? It has been said that it will be released, but there is no news yet."
"Wait a minute, he was dragged by me to do "Game of Thrones" before, and now he is roped in by me to do plot dramas for the "Feng Shen" series and "Xian Qin Empire". When these two tasks are completed, with him I guess I’ll have to wait another two years for that temperament of striving for perfection.”
So Yue Guan gave Liu Heping a blank check without any pressure.
Anyway, even if he made a promise, Liu Heping would not be perfunctory. If he did not polish the script to the point where he was completely satisfied, he would definitely not start filming.
In two years' time, Yue Guan's money will be more than five million even if it is left in the bank to earn interest.
""The Qin Empire" is actually the same type of TV series as "Game of Thrones", but it is not as popular as "Game of Thrones". Yue Guan, you gave the only spot in the TV series to the screenwriter of "The Qin Empire" Zhang Jianwei , is it a bit of a slap in the face? After all, he was crushed for the same subject, and he won the award." Li Ruotong asked.
Yue Guan asked, "Sister Ruotong, if I give you 10 million, do you think it's a slap in your face?"
Li Ruotong was speechless.
If this is called a slap in the face, please make it harder.
"The "Great Qin Empire" series, what a pity." Yue Guan shook his head.
In fact, every part of the "Qin Empire" series was shot very well.
But the results are not very good...
All of them are well-received but not popular.
Everyone admits that this is a TV series of excellent quality, but there are not many viewers willing to watch it.
This is the dilemma the drama is facing now.
At the beginning, many people suggested that Yue Guan take over the "Qin Empire" series, but this series is really good enough, and it really can't become popular...
"Mao Liar" is such a niche subject, and Douban has more than 50,000 people rating it.
"The Qin Empire" seems to be much more famous than "Mao Liar", but it turns out that there are only more than 30,000 people who rated it...
Not as many as "Mao Liar", can you believe it
Many people listen to others bragging about how good this show is, and they just follow the praise. In fact, not many viewers have watched it.
Many people just think that boasting about this TV series shows that they have good taste.
If they really let them watch it, they would find it boring after just one episode.
So Yue Guan did not take on "The Qin Empire", but made his own "Game of Thrones".
No matter how good the quality of a drama is, it doesn’t mean much if the audience can’t watch it.
Yue Guan needs to find a balance between quality and universality, so that most viewers can enjoy the drama and feel that the drama is interesting, rather than raising the threshold for viewers to watch.
At this point, "Game of Thrones" is far more successful than the "Qin Empire" series. The latter is standing, but it doesn't make much money...
Even so, Yue Guan still reserved the last spot for "The Qin Empire".
Quality wise it's really worth it.
Yue Guan himself posted a post on Weibo, tagging all five award-winning dramas and related screenwriters.
Then, it immediately aroused heated discussion.
"His Majesty and I have quite the same taste. I like all these five dramas."
"Oh my God, I'm crying. Will the crew of "Quiba" have money to do promotions from now on?"
"'Empire of Qin' is really a good drama. It's a pity that it's not popular. Your Majesty has a keen eye for recognizing talents."
""No Man's Land" was filmed by Ning Hao. It's already quite popular. Your Majesty, please show your favor to other screenwriters."
"I envy the screenwriters of these five dramas. They will be millionaires from now on."
"I'm crying with envy. I really want to attend His Majesty's banquet."
I can only think about it.
Yueguan's family banquet will definitely not invite too many people.
In fact, there are already a lot now.
The main reason is that there are really too many screenwriters in "No Man's Land".
The atmosphere of this meal was pretty good.
The screenwriter is here to get money, and of course he is happy to get it.
There is no doubt about the talent of these people. Yue Guan chatted with them and gained a lot of inspiration.
Xing Aina, Ning Hao's wife, one of the screenwriters of "No Man's Land" and the woman behind Ning Hao, said to Yue Guan: "Your Majesty, our old Ning has always wanted to get a script from you. Is there any chance?"
Yue Guan waved his hand: "You're welcome, you're welcome, but scripts like "Crazy Stone" are too difficult to write, and I don't have any in stock right now."
"Lao Ning is undergoing a transformation now, and he wants to make movies that are suitable for the general public. If you give him the script of "Crazy Stone", he may not be willing to make it." Xing Aina said.
Yue Guan said something from his heart: "I don't think Director Ning actually needs to transform. His personal style has already been formed, and movie fans have expectations of him. There is no need to force himself to do things that he is not good at."
"I have tried to persuade him, but as a director, everyone wants to make blockbusters. I can't persuade him anymore, so I can only go through the trouble with him."
Yue Guan did not persuade him.
Xing Aina is telling the truth.
As a director, everyone wants to make a big-budget, big-budget movie. Xiaogangpao, who was making comedies, even produced a show called "The Night Banquet" back then.
This thing can't be persuaded.
Yue Guan didn't intend to persuade him.
Among these screenwriters, the one that Yue Guan is most interested in is actually Zhang Jianwei, the screenwriter of "The Great Qin Empire".
Yue Guan took the initiative to toast him with a glass of wine, and then started poaching: "Teacher Zhang, after the filming of "Feng Shen" is completed, I will be working on the Xian Qin project. There is a shortage of screenwriters. Are you interested in participating?"
