Chapter 059: TV series preparations
On Friday, Lou promised to sit in front of the office desk, review the official documents of the TV station and enjoy the fun of stamping.
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded.
"Come in." Lou Zheng said to the outside of the door.
"Master, the drama department manager Ma Sheng has something to report to you!" Chen Feng pushed the door and said, hearing Lou Chengnuo's voice.
"Okay, let him come in." Lou Chengnuo said.
After a moment, Ma Sheng knocked on the door and walked in.
"What's the matter? Is it about the TV series?" Lou Chengnuo asked.
"Yes," said Ma Sheng, "Master, the drama department has prepared for filming. I would like to ask Master, your arrangements for the script..."
Ma Sheng's implication was naturally to urge Lou to promise to hand over the script to him as soon as possible.
Lou promised to take out two documents bound in hard-clad folders from the file cabinet next to it and handed them to Ma Sheng, then said, "The script was written a few days ago. Take a look and give me some advice."
The two scripts written by Lou Chengun are called "Temptation to Go Home" and "Dae Jang Geum".
Let’s talk about the former first, which tells the story of a gentle and virtuous young woman growing into an independent and strong urban woman.
When this TV series was broadcast on Mango TV, although it was not tepid in the early stage, as the plot progressed, its ratings gradually soared, reaching 5.2% at the highest, and its ratings share once reached 26.7%.
It can be said that the streets and alleys were talking about "The Temptation of Going Home", and every household was playing "The Temptation of Going Home". During that time, this TV series dominated the TV sets of every household.
The ratings created by this TV series were once beyond the reach, and it continued to dominate the highest ratings of the TV series for seven years. It was not until "In the Name of People" was born.
No matter how the world and the times change, the story of family matters is always gripping, so although this drama is very bloody, the TV series with a very dense conflict between appearance and story was taken out by Lou Promise as soon as possible.
In addition to "The Temptation of Going Home", "Dae Jang Geum" from South Korea also has a very complex character relationship, and the dramatic conflicts are very strong, making people feel urge to continue watching, and is full of freshness.
Based on this core feature, when this TV series entered my country through the hands of Mango, the broadcast ratings were also very high. If "Temptation Home" was the highest rating king of the second generation of TV series in the new millennium, then "Dae Jang Geum" was the highest rating king of the first generation of TV series.
Of course, the original "Dae Jang Geum" tells a story of Korean court struggles, with the humanistic history of South Korea as the background.
For "Dae Jang Geum", which belongs to the original in this world, based on his own identity, it is definitely not easy to use the humanities and history of other countries as the story background.
So he made adjustments on the background of the TV series story.
The main thing is to fine-tune the environment and background of the struggle, and replace its scenes and stories with ancient Chinese palaces.
I have to say that this kind of thing is quite simple, because the ancient human history of South Korea has been introduced from China, so in many things, replaced by domestic backgrounds, it does not seem disharmonious or inconsistent at all.
However, after such a replacement, Lou Chenggong dared not make any promises to the ratings of this TV series.
Because "Dae Jang Geum" is popular in China, in addition to its exciting plot, it is also inseparable from the reason why Korean waves had just been introduced to China and Chinese people were very new to Korean things.
Now, the story background has been replaced to become an ancient cultural environment familiar to the Chinese people. Even though the dynasty is virtual, it is really unknown whether the plot can make a big hit by the popularity of the ratings.
However, despite this, Lou promised to make "Dae Jang Geum" and "Temptation Home" produced and broadcast together.
Anyway, the TV station is still rich now, so trial and error are allowed.
However, Lou Chenggong still has some doubts about the broadcast time of these two programs.
Both TV series in their previous life were broadcast at 10 o'clock in the evening, and Lou promised not to know whether the broadcast time period will have an impact on the TV series.
There are also ten o'clock stalls in the parallel world, and the ten o'clock stalls have also been tapped into the TV industry's approximate potential. Knowing that TV series can be popular even if it is broadcast here.
So now Lou promises that even if these two TV series are scheduled to be broadcast at 10 o'clock according to history, he will also face competition.
So Lou Chenggong quickly removed his doubts and decided to broadcast "The Temptation of Going Home" on the prime time and "Dae Jang Geum" on the 10 o'clock evening.
As for who will broadcast first, it depends on which drama will be produced first.
As time flies, Ma Sheng reads the script summary of two TV series in a blink of an eye.
After reading the script written by Lou Chenggong, Ma Sheng had to admit that Lou Chenggong, who was still quite young, was indeed a rare genius in the film and television industry.
There are many people who can write scripts, even he can do it himself.
However, he can write variety show planning and TV scripts, and it is rare for those who are less than 25 years old. In particular, Ma Sheng also knows that "If You Are the One" was recorded in the early stage by him!
It can write and shoot, and it can also make a TV station with the lowest performance exciting. What is this a genius?
"How is the script?" Seeing Ma Sheng staring at him stupidly, Lou Chengnuo asked in a daze.
"Oh..." Awakened by Lou Chengnuo's words, Ma Sheng came to his senses and said: "These two scripts are quite good, the plot is compact, the character relationship structure is perfect, and the various plots are full of suspense. The conflicting design is very exciting. I dare to assert that these two dramas are good dramas!"
The development of the film and television industry in parallel worlds is basically in 2010. In addition to not having the same cultural products as in previous lives, various settings are also quite complete.
So Ma Sheng was not shocked by the bloody plot.
"That's good, then you can arrange the shooting later. You can calculate the shooting cost and submit the approval and approval project." Lou Chengnuo said.
"I understand." Ma Sheng said.
"By the way, who are you going to contact for the directors of these two dramas?" Lou Chengnuo asked.
Long before, Lou Chenguo told Ma Sheng that the newly produced TV series on TV will be an urban drama and a costume drama.
So in terms of director selection, Ma Sheng had already finalized the director's candidate in advance, so he said without hesitation: "For "The Temptation of Going Home", I think director Chen Zhunjun is more suitable."
"As for "Dae Jang Geum", I recommend director Lee Mu, who started out filming costume dramas and has worked harder in costume dramas. He has a good understanding of costume dramas and filming art."
Lou Chenggong didn't know these two directors. Seeing that Ma Sheng thought it was good, he had no objection to Ma Sheng, so he naturally did not intend to reject his recommendation, so he said, "Okay, then you can contact them both!"
"In terms of the protagonist, does the director have any requirements for actor fame?" Ma Sheng asked.
Hearing Ma Sheng's words, Lou Chengnuo thought for a while and said, "It's enough to have good acting skills. The male and female protagonists are moderately selected for second- and third-tier stars. However, although these two dramas are not idol dramas and do not need to contact big names, they still need to be handsome and beautiful in terms of the appearance of the male and female protagonists!"
