It is a good habit to strike while the iron is hot.

Zhou Yiyang understands this eternal truth. Seeing the audience's increasing interest in the story behind "A Thousand Years of Waiting", Zhou Yiyang's TV series that has been undecided finally has a plan.

The script of "The Origin of the White Snake" comes from the animation of the same name redeemed in the system.

However, what Zhou Yiyang wants to shoot is a live-action version, and it is a high-quality miniseries with only 8 episodes. The fastest update on the computer::/

Even on Earth, the concept of mini-series has only appeared in recent years. In this world, it is unprecedented.

Nowadays, every company is working hard to make TV series longer.

Someone like Zhou Yiyang who plans to only shoot 8 episodes would probably look like a fool in the eyes of outsiders.

Bai Yangyu and others in the company showed hesitation after hearing Zhou Yiyang's plan.

Although Yiyang Entertainment is Zhou Yiyang's boss, he is the absolute boss and can make decisions independently.

However, Zhou Yiyang has always respected other people's opinions. At this moment, Bai Yangyu also mustered up the courage to put forward an objection:

"Mr. Zhou, I have no objection to the script. Costume dramas are indeed a hot topic, and I believe the audience would like to see them film in costumes. But the number of episodes is really too small, and there is no way to get stars.

"

"I didn't originally think about becoming a star." Zhou Yiyang explained: "I asked Ning Mang. Nowadays, the review of costume dramas is very strict. After a drama is completed, it may be suppressed by the TV station until one or two years later.

It has just been released. Instead of waiting in vain, it is better to go directly to the online broadcast. You also know that as long as there is quality, even the online broadcast can become a hit."

Bai Yangyu had to admit that Zhou Yiyang was right. The previous "Yin Yang Chronicle" is the best example.

"But eight episodes are really too short. The audience can't get enough of it, right?" Bai Yangyu scratched his head and asked stubbornly.

At this time, Zhou Yiyang raised the corners of his mouth, as if he had been waiting for Bai Yangyu to ask about this matter.

"The average length of a movie is only 90 minutes to two hours. This is enough to tell a story clearly. How can the audience not get enough? Why don't we take a look at this professional drama that was broadcast on Xiangjiang Satellite TV some time ago."

Zhou Yiyang casually opened the screen and found the drama with a very low rating.

"The main plot is that the heroine relies on her own abilities to grow from scratch to become a great designer. As a result, the first twenty episodes are all about the heroine's past, trivial things with her neighbors, and messy things with her best friend.

, Oh, and there are also traditional plots that repeatedly jump between the male protagonist and the second male protagonist. To be honest, do these plots have any significance to the main plot? Not at all? They are purely to make up the length.”

Bai Yangyu finally couldn't find a reason to refute this time? The drama Zhou Yiyang mentioned just now had such a low rating. A large part of the reason was that it was too lengthy.

"But Mr. Zhou?" Guan Fei said at this time. She was the only one here who had read the script: "As far as I know, there are a lot of fighting scenes in the script. Does that require special effects? We haven't done it yet."

?”

"Currently special effects can only be outsourced?" Zhou Yiyang said, "But as long as you have money, good special effects are not a problem."

"Can I get my money back?" Guan Fei was concerned about this.

"I don't think there's any problem."

Everyone finally reached a consensus? The project of "The Origin of the White Snake" was successfully approved.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, the official blog announced this news.

Many marketing accounts didn't react. They didn't expect Yiyang Entertainment to break the news so suddenly.

Even Moonlight Girl and the four of them saw this news from the Internet.

"No wonder I heard that Brother Bai went abroad recently and said that he was looking for a top special effects team in Hollywood. I thought Brother Yang was planning to make a science fiction film!" Tang Yue raised his eyebrows. His eyes fell on "The Origin of the White Snake"

"is positioned as a classical fairy tale drama.

There are a lot of fairy tale dramas in China, but almost none of them pay much attention to special effects. After all, everyone just wears a fairy skin and falls in love.

What kind of fairy king is he? In fact, he is just a domineering president.

"Brother Yang has always been willing to spend money," Lin Xuan'er thought for a while: "The official blog said that this drama is about the story behind "A Thousand Years of Waiting"? Will we be filming it?"

"It should be, right?" Su Yin looked forward to it. After all, the pictures on the official blog are all costume photos of them that were out of the industry some time ago. I heard that this photo drove a large number of people to buy their same style: "But aren't you curious about the name?

Why is it called "The Origin of the White Snake"? Is the heroine a snake spirit?"

"It must be a snake spirit!" Wang Xingrui's mind has already shown the countless novels he has read in which the female protagonist is a monster: "I bet the male protagonist should be some kind of demon king? He is the female protagonist's boss. Or he is the one who captures the female protagonist.

Immortal Lord, then let’s have forced love or something…”

The other three people all looked at Wang Xingrui and exclaimed that she really understood.

It's a pity that they didn't receive the script. They can only guess what the plot is like the netizens who saw this Weibo post.

Zhou Yiyang has not told Yue Shao about this for a long time, simply because he has not yet decided what roles these people will play.

At one moment he thought Tang Yue could play a vixen, and at another moment he thought she should play the role of Xu Xian.

As for the White Snake, it was decided long ago. The white-haired Su Yin is the White Snake, so I can’t comment on it anymore.

Guan Fei has never been as nervous as she is now. She believed in all the projects that Zhou Yiyang approved before, and they would definitely make money.

But she was not sure about "The Origin of the White Snake" in front of her. It was an eight-episode masterpiece. She always felt that it would overturn.

Moreover, it is a representative fairy tale drama that is both smelly and long. Their audience may just like to watch Foot Wrapping!

She glanced at the comments below and could only say that fortunately Zhou Yiyang didn't mention the number of episodes. The audience was discussing more about the plot.

"Isn't the project for this drama a bit hasty? It's just a song, not an IP."

"Upstairs, why don't you think about it? Maybe you have planned to film this drama for a long time. This song was released by Zhou Yiyang in advance to promote it. This is in line with his marketing style."

"It makes sense. Yiyang Entertainment has never filmed a costume-themed movie for so long. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Yes, Yue Shao is so good-looking. It would be a pity not to shoot costumes. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou is enlightened and wants to see the fairy sister fall in love!"

"Do all four have to act? Is there no one else in Yiyang Entertainment? We are all tired of aesthetics!"

"To be honest, costume dramas don't just depend on whether you look good in static. For the four of them, I don't think the costumes are necessarily good-looking. I'll put the flag here first. "The Origin of the White Snake" will definitely hit the streets."

"Well, my uncle is from Yiyang Entertainment. He said that "The Origin of the White Snake" will definitely have less than ten episodes..."

"Are all the materials written by my uncle and Party members so fake now? It's not even ten episodes yet! Why didn't you say that "The Origin of the White Snake" does not have a male protagonist and is about the love of two women!"

"Hahaha, it should be said that it is the love of four women. As long as Mr. Zhou dares to shoot like this, we fans will dare to brush up the data!"

It wasn't until the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala that the script was delivered to Yue Shao and the other four people.

"I play the role of White Snake," Su Yin's tone became cheerful, which surprised everyone around her. After all, not only did she have white hair, but her skin was also white. She was as white as a white snake. "Thank you, Brother Yang, for trusting me!"

"Don't thank me in a hurry," Zhou Yiyang always felt that he had lost a lot of hair in the past few days. The animated version was changed to live-action, and the script was modified. If he hadn't been studying after time travel, I'm afraid he would have lost a lot of hair.

The script modification is nonsense. "Your role is not easy to play. In other words, whether our drama will be well-received depends on whether you can act well enough to make the audience like it."

When Su Yin heard this, her expression was suffocated at first, and then she laughed. She likes this kind of complex and challenging roles.

She feels that the biggest improvement in her acting skills came from Zhang Yingyuan's short film.

The more difficult the interpretation, the more you can hone your acting skills.

Lin Xuan'er was a little surprised when she saw her script, then she put her hand on Su Yin's shoulder with a smile: "I am Green Snake, so Xiao Su, you will play my sister this time!"

"Really?" Su Yin chuckled: "Captain, then we sisters should work hard together!"

Wang Xingrui on the sofa looked at the script, but her face gradually turned red: "I, I play the vixen? Brother Yang, did you get the wrong script?"

"No." Zhou Yiyang was very serious.

Speaking of Wang Xingrui as a "loli", she is indeed the one who most closely matches the appearance of the original vixen.

Although it doesn't quite fit her character.

"I know that this time is a big challenge for you. But you don't have to film recently, and the announcements are just for commercials. You have a lot of time to figure out the role. Believe me, as long as you can play her well, we will

This drama can definitely be more exciting!"

Su Yin secretly said in Lin Xuan'er's ear: "I understand, for this drama to be successful, all four of us have to contribute."

Lin Xuan'er burst into laughter: "Then my role is definitely not easy to play. I have to read the book carefully later. By the way, why is Tangtang silent?"

The three of them turned their heads. Tang Yue, who was usually the most active and passionate about acting, was lying on the yoga mat at this moment, losing his energy.

She stared at the script in her hand with her beautiful, empty eyes wide open, and finally let it hit her face.

"Brother Yang, are you kidding me? Are you asking me to play the male lead?"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Xingrui suddenly gained confidence. Looking at it this way, her role seemed not that difficult.

Su Yin smiled rudely, raised her eyebrows, walked to Tang Yue, raised her chin with her hand, and said delicately: "Does this young master not like me as the heroine?"

Although they haven't watched the plot yet, since they are the male and female protagonists and the name is "The Origin of the White Snake", there should be some romance between them.

"Why don't I like it?" Tang Yue suddenly hugged Su Yin into his arms, as oily as a domineering president: "I'm just afraid that I won't perform well! And Brother Yang, are you sure the audience can accept my performance as a woman?"
Chapter completed!
