139【Love Apartment】
The scripts of film and television works can be divided into three types: scripts, storyboard scripts and completed scripts.
The script is the basis of film and television dramas, establishing the framework of film and television works, clarifying basic elements such as theme, characters, plot, and structure; a storyboard script is also called a director script, which is the basis for directors, photographers, lighting crews and other film crews to carry out their work; while the finished script is written in the scene, recording all the contents of the finalized film, and even detailing it to the length of each shot.
What Ye Cheng wants to create now is scripts, that is, scripts in the usual sense. Ye Cheng only listened to a few classes in the director class. He is an absolute rookie in the screenwriter. Fortunately, he only needs to tell the story clearly.
The first season of "Love Apartment" has only 20 episodes, and the size of each episode of the standard definition version is more than 100m. Ye Cheng used up all the 2g traffic that month and has downloaded 14 episodes of content.
"Ka!"
When Ye Cheng heard the sound of the door handle turning, he immediately turned off the video playback software and typed randomly in a pretentious manner.
Gao Yuanyuan came in with a plate of fruit, sat next to him and asked, "What are you writing? I've been sneaky these two days."
Ye Cheng picked up a cut pear and ate it, and replied, "Write the script."
"Are you going to write the script yourself?" Gao Yuanyuan asked in surprise.
Ye Cheng nodded and said, "Yes. Isn't this going to invest in a TV series? I'm not at ease with what others wrote."
…Gao Yuanyuan has read "The Legend of Wukong" and is particularly fond of it. At this time, she was very interested in Ye Cheng's script and said, "How much have you written? Show me it quickly!"
Ye Cheng said: "Just finished the third episode, I will pass it on your phone, you can watch it slowly."
Gao Yuanyuan was afraid of disturbing Ye Cheng's creation, so after getting the scripts for the first three episodes, she ran to the sofa in the living room to look like:
"Love Apartment"
The story takes place in an ordinary rental apartment, with a group of urban men and women of different personalities. They embark on the road to love with their ideals.
Episode 1: The Wedding Fight
An international flight crossed the blue sky and slowly landed on the runway.
Zhan Bo was dragging a suitcase with both hands, a big bag slung across his shoulder, and a small bag in his mouth. He ran to an airport bus parked on the side of the road with breathlessness..."
Gao Yuanyuan wore white cropped pants today. The close-fitting fabric stretched her hips and thighs tightly, forming a perfectly tempting curve. She suddenly turned over as she looked at the script, lay on the sofa and raised her buttocks, and her smooth and white calves kicked around in the air from time to time.
"Gee!" Gao Yuanyuan only smiled slightly at the beginning. When she saw the tractor racing, she finally couldn't help laughing out loud.
It took about an hour and a half before Gao Yuanyuan carefully read the script of the first three episodes. Then she rushed into Ye Cheng's room, lay on Ye Cheng's shoulder and said coquettishly: "Brother Ye. Is the script still there? I want to read the story behind it."
Ye Cheng said with a slight silence: "You are not sincere enough in your tone of asking for help."
"My mother," Gao Yuanyuan kissed Ye Cheng several times on his face and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother Ye, good baby, good husband, I want to see what's behind."
Ye Cheng was so heartbroken by the sound that he shivered, and said, "Episode 4 is done soon. You can wait outside, don't affect my creative ideas."
"Then hurry up." Gao Yuanyuan suddenly waved his fist and instantly changed from a cute girl to a tomboy. "If I can't see the fourth episode, I will punish you for not having enough food tonight!"
Ye Cheng saluted seriously: "yes,madam!"
"Hmph, you know what you know! Lalala..." Gao Yuanyuan finished his fierce sentence and hummed a little and ran to the living room with brisk steps.
Ye Cheng finished the script of the fourth episode according to the video, and suddenly he thought of something. He picked up Huawei's mobile phone and searched for "Love Apartment Season 1 script" and immediately came out a long list of search results.
Damn, there is actually a ready-made script on the Internet. Then I have worked hard to make up a joke!
Ye Cheng sent the script for the fourth episode to Gao Yuanyuan, and then downloaded the remaining script with amusement and silence.
After the script is downloaded, Ye Cheng has nothing to do, he still needs to be carefully modified. For example, there are "The Matrix", "Transformers", and Stefanie Sun in different time and space. These contents cannot be copied. Ye Cheng has to change it to film and television works and characters in this world according to the plot.
Five days later, Ye Cheng happened to have a commercial performance at Magic, so he brought the script of "Love Apartment" to Ke Liang's studio.
No matter how handsome Ke Liang was in the past, his face was a little bitter, but now he was completely proud and radiant. He personally made a cup of coffee for Ye Cheng and said, "Xiao Ye, long time no see. Is your guitar business okay?"
"It's okay, sales have stabilized." Ye Cheng replied.
When the saying "I endorse myself" was the most popular, Yezi guitar's monthly sales reached 18,000. Although most of the sales were low-end guitars worth hundreds of yuan, the profit was still amazing. Sales this month have declined, but judging from the current sales situation, there should be no problem selling tens of thousands of units.
On the contrary, the clothing stores and snack shops under Ye Cheng’s name are selling daily consumables, and the turnover is constantly increasing.
After chatting about the recent situation, Ke Liang said, "Xiao Ye, I have discussed with Lao Yang and decided to win you a male lead in the TV series this year. Your acting skills need to be tempered."
Since Ke Liang mentioned the TV series, Ye Cheng took the opportunity to hand over the script of the first 10 episodes of "Love Apartment": "Brother Liang, look at this!"
When Ke Liang saw the signature of the script, he asked in surprise: "Did you write it?"
Ye Cheng nodded and said, "I want to cooperate with Dreams and Absolute Company to shoot this "Love Apartment" in the name of Ye Cheng Studio."
Ke Liang smiled and said, "You really dare to think about it. Of course, the company is not confident in producing TV series independently."
Ye Cheng said: "I have learned about the current situation of domestic TV series. The cost of a single episode of a large production can reach 2 million. But "Love Apartment" is equivalent to a sitcom. If you don't invite stars, the budget for each episode should be reduced to less than 300,000 yuan, and the total cost of 20 episodes is only 6 million yuan. As long as it is not too bad, you can get millions of income by selling it to a TV station. With DVD and online copyrights, you will definitely make a profit."
Ke Liang did not speak after hearing this, but smoked and pondered for a moment before speaking: "Leave the script, I'll take a look first."
Ye Cheng stood up and said, "Okay, Brother Liang, think slowly, I'll wait for your news."
Why did Ye Cheng look for a dream company to cooperate with?
Because his studio does not have the qualifications to produce TV series independently!
After Ye Cheng left, Ke Liang opened the script of "Love Apartment" and looked like it. Unexpectedly, it was half an afternoon when he actually finished reading all 10 episodes of the script with relish.
"It's interesting." Ke Liang closed the script with a smile, picked up the phone and said, "Xiao Tao, please come to my place."
Manager Hu is the manager of the film and television production department of Dreams of course, with his full name, Hu Bingzhang. This person has worked in two provincial TV stations before and has also been responsible for producing several movies and TV series. He has a good understanding of the production, sales and publicity of TV series.
"Mr. Ke, are you looking for me?" Hu Bingzhang's current job is very leisurely. Since the establishment of the Dream Company, he has participated in investing in two TV series, and he has been following the Starlight Group, and he has no chance to show his abilities.
Ke Liang handed the script of "Love Apartment" to Hu Bingzhang and said, "Old Hu, look at this."
Hu Bingzhang said happily: "Mr. Ke, is the company going to do its own TV series?"
Ke Liang said: "You will talk about it after reading the script."
Hu Bingzhang put down after reading the script for two episodes and had a clear understanding of "Love Apartment".
Ke Liang asked: "How do you feel?"
Hu Bingzhang said: "The story is trendy, the characters are distinctive, and the lines are humorous. From the perspective of the script alone, it is definitely very excellent. However, if you get the TV station to play, the ratings will probably not be too high."
Ke Liang said: "To be more detailed."
Hu Bingzhang explained: "Currently, the audience of TV programs is mainly middle-aged and elderly viewers. However, the audience positioning of this "Love Apartment" is young people under 30 years old, which conflicts with the traditional viewership subject."
Ke Liang smoked a cigarette and asked, "Do you think this drama has investment value?"
Hu Bingzhang thought for a moment and said, "You can shoot, but the TV station cannot have too much hope. You can try it on the Internet."
Chapter completed!
