Chapter 389(1/2)
This is not a joke by Peng Hui. A director who can accurately grasp the audience's preferences is the basis for the script to become a popular drama.
But if you want to achieve hit hits and phenomenal works, it really depends on luck.
Even Peng Hui can't say that every one of his dramas can be a hit.
Otherwise, the box office of "Cohabitation in Time and Space" would have exploded long ago.
However, it is not easy to be able to face the hard work of "Avengers 3" and still achieve a good box office.
The early preparations for this drama were very slow.
There is no way, the director is said to be a new director Wanwan.
What's his name? Li Qingrong.
It was Li Shanshan who originally found him.
He once served as the assistant director of "I May Not Love You".
There were also a few works after that, which were of a less famous kind.
The other one is Xiang Xujing.
Also a newcomer.
It's probably Li Qingrong's team.
Peng Hui didn't pay too much attention.
Let the crew do it themselves.
Anyway, he just gave me a script and praised his own person.
As long as everything else can be done completely.
But something happened anyway.
What happened was a month later, when the crew was ready and filming started.
That day, Peng Hui was looking at recent files from the game department when Li Shanshan ran in in a panic.
"What's going on? Are you so excited?" Peng Hui asked with a smile.
"Boss... it's not good." Li Shanshan said with a pale face: "We have been cheated."
"Tricked?" Peng Hui was stunned and asked strangely: "What happened?"
"The director...is not Li Qingrong, but...is Zhai Youning!"
"Zhai Youning?" Peng Hui was stunned and a little strange: "What's wrong with him?"
"He's TD!"
Peng Hui's face suddenly darkened.
"what's the situation?"
"Didn't the crew start shooting today? I thought I had never seen him before, so I went to take a look today, and the result... I saw Zhai Youning standing in the director's seat filming a movie!"
"But I didn't remember that I invited Zhai Youning." Peng Hui was puzzled.
"Xiang Xujing is Zhai Youning!" Li Shanshan said with a wry smile.
Peng Hui's expression darkened.
A TD, acting as director.
This is absolutely no accident!
Someone is trying to kill him!
Peng Hui thought for a while and pressed his hand. After making sure that Li Shanshan was relaxed, he said directly: "How much have we invested?"
"We invested 60% of this drama, Juku, that is, the producer invested 30%, and Yang Zi himself invested 10%."
"Is there anything about Yang Zi involved?" Peng Hui was speechless.
You said you are an actor, why are you causing trouble?
“What if we divest?”
"Withdrawal will require a liquidated damages of 200 million yuan!" Li Shanshan almost burst into tears.
Although two hundred million is not much, but...
Who wants to spend 200 million for nothing?
"Don't worry." Peng Hui said and fell into deep thought.
Li Shanshan waited anxiously.
"The show cannot be withdrawn. This is not a matter of money. We have to push Li Xian. If he withdraws, it will be over." Peng Hui said with a serious face.
"But Zhai Youning..."
"After the series is produced, doesn't it have to be shown to us when it is sent for review?" Peng Hui said: "Put it down, change the name, and kick him out of the director's ranks. I remember it was originally about e-sports, right? Change it to
CTF, the relevant content has been completely changed and turned into another drama. It is said to deal with the censorship, and the blame is thrown to the radio and television. They will not say anything. They will kick the director out. He is a TD. If he is dissatisfied, he will be crushed to death. Anyway, in the mainland
, don’t pay attention to him.”
"Can influence..."
"Self-destruction." Peng Hui said directly: "I will post on Weibo soon and announce to the public that Zhai Youning will be kicked out of the crew, find a lawyer, and file a lawsuit with Juku. He wants to play, and I don't have much money to play with him.
It can also increase the popularity of the crew."
"Then Zhai Youning..."
"If he refuses to leave, how can we get rid of him? We are not a producer. If he is willing to stay and film, we will continue filming. The director will be replaced by Li Qingrong. Zhai Youning insists on staying on the crew and will not leave, so there is nothing we can do.
.”
"The boss is saying..." Li Shanshan suddenly understood.
"If Zhai Youning is willing, just give him money and get out after filming. Don't think about his reputation. If he is not willing, then wait for him to make trouble. A TD will not make a big difference in the mainland. Even if the quality of the drama is slightly worse, the audience's favorability will be lower."
high."
"Awesome!" Li Shanshan exclaimed.
"Awesome." Peng Hui said angrily: "That's because we are not afraid of paying liquidated damages.
Otherwise, how many of us can afford the liquidated damages of 200 million? More importantly, the male protagonist is still ours."
"Huh... Boss, let's do it now, I'm afraid of long nights and lots of dreams."
"Okay." Peng Hui didn't refuse, just thought about it and sent it.
The Internet exploded.
It really exploded.
Explosive explosion.
Weibo is down.
No one expected that just after Peng Hui announced the filming of a new drama, he revealed that the director was TD, and directly canceled his directorship and replaced it with deputy director Li Qingrong. The new drama was renamed and the content changed.
This series of operations is simply magical!
Later, someone broke the news that someone was hacking Peng Hui.
The reason is that Peng Hui took the lead in rebelling against the Golden Horse.
Someone took advantage of this time that Peng Hui outsourced the drama to Juku and paid to change the director to Zhai Youning.
Because I used a pseudonym, Juku did not check it in detail.
Later, on the day of start-up, Zhai Youning came.
Everyone was confused.
A person who is against TD uses TD as a director.
How big of a commotion will this cause?
What's more, Minghui invested 60% of this drama, and the liquidated damages are as high as 200 million, and the leading actor Li Xian has just signed a contract with Minghui Entertainment.
In this case, everyone thought that Peng Hui would hide it.
However, no one expected that Peng Hui could be so strong.
Trying to get 200 million yuan, the director was kicked out of the crew directly.
It was replaced by Li Qingrong, the former assistant director.
But what's interesting is that someone broke the news that Zhai Youning did not leave the crew because of this, but continued filming.
The target of the attack turned to Juku again.
Ju Ku is completely pissed off.
While dealing with the funeral affairs, he also dealt with the reporters who came one after another.
To be continued...
