After exchanging contact information with Li Hansheng, Han Zhou said hello to Xie Fu and then rushed to the Central Bank Building.
Director Ren was waiting for Han Zhou at the door in person.
After Han Zhou got off the car, he saw Director Ren waiting for him and smiled: "Brother Ren!"
Director Ren: “Here you are, brother.”
Han Zhou: “…”
These four words are poisonous.
Han Zhou was embarrassed for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Oh, Brother Ren is waiting for me in person."
Director Ren: "After lunch, go out for a walk to help digest the food."
Han Zhou: "I just came out of the premiere of "Charge" and haven't eaten yet."
Director Ren raised his eyebrows: "Haven't you eaten yet? How can young people not eat? They will be hungry if they don't eat."
"You wait."
After a while, Han Zhou had the central bank lunch with two chicken legs in Director Ren's office.
After dinner, Director Ren was carrying two cups of tea and preparing to go to the meeting room. Han Zhou said, "How can this be possible? How can I trouble Brother Ren to serve me tea? I can serve it myself."
Director Ren smiled awkwardly: "It's no problem."
Han Zhou: "No, no, I can do it myself."
After handing over the tea, Director Ren said, "Oh, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to take my notebook. I'll go back."
After a while, Han Zhou was in Office No. 2 and saw Director Ren coming in with two cups of tea.
One of the cups was placed on the main seat.
After waiting for about three minutes, a middle-aged man in his fifties who looked a little fat and had slightly gray hair walked in.
Director Ren stood up hurriedly.
The middle-aged man walked towards Han Zhou with a smile, and Han Zhou also stood up: "Director Shen!"
The person in front of me is the director of CCTV, Shen Xixiong.
Shen Xixiong extended his hand and shook hands with Han Zhou: "Welcome, welcome."
How could Han Zhou dare to boast about this? The man in front of him was the top propaganda figure in China!
Han Zhou hurriedly said: "It is an honor to be able to attend the internal meeting of the Central Bank!"
Shen Xixiong smiled and said, "Please take a seat and let's start the meeting."
Soon someone stood up and reported the revenue and profits of the children's program in the prime time of CCTV-1 and several afternoon programs in the past three quarters of this year.
Han Zhou also heard the internal data for the first time and sighed.
This data is different from the one that has been announced. The main reason is that at some evening parties, it would not sound good to say that the business was at a loss, so the accounts were settled internally.
Therefore, the profits during these periods are higher than expected.
After that, Director Ren talked about the fourth quarter report.
Among them, the focus is on "Young Justice Bao".
"The play Young Justice Bao is a rare detective drama, and it is a costume detective drama. In addition, it is a new martial arts drama that just appeared this year."
"There is a lot of room for operation. The profits in the fourth quarter will mainly depend on this drama."
"Today, Han Zhou, the director, screenwriter and lead actor of Young Justice Bao, has come to the meeting. Please welcome him."
Everyone applauded.
Han Zhou also stood up and gestured before taking a seat.
I listened to this stuff for more than half an hour.
Director Ren then continued: "Regarding plans for next year, the two series we can confirm are New World's animation Boonie Bears and next year's annual drama Prince of Lanling."
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment. He knew very well what the content of "Lanling King" could be filmed.
The content involved was able to be broadcast on CCTV-1, and it is also the big drama of the year. The censorship system in this world is indeed very relaxed. This is a great contribution of Han Sisheng.
Director Ren looked at the report and said: "At present, Boonie Bears may still create better ratings. We will focus on this aspect."
Shen Xixiong nodded: "In addition to your own arrangements, let me tell you about the arrangements for next year."
"Next year, we are still at least one war drama away."
"It's best to fight against the war."
"Director Ren, can you contact me for a high-quality anti-Japanese war drama?"
Han Zhou looked around and raised his right hand high.
When Shen Xixiong saw Han Zhou raising his hand, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Han Zhou, it's a meeting, just speak up, it's not like going to school, you don't need to raise your hand."
"What do you want to say?"
Han Zhou: "New World has plans to shoot an anti-Japanese war drama."
Shen Xixiong frowned, then relaxed his brows: "New World's costume dramas are amazing, especially the martial arts dramas. The data for The World's Number One is very good. Although the data for Young Justice Bao has not come out yet, the level of excitement in a single round is still higher than The World's Number One, and it is far superior. The quality is much higher than The World's Number One."
"New World could have used this trump card to its advantage and become the top costume martial arts drama company in China. Why would it suddenly want to make an anti-Japanese war film?"
Han Zhou: "Director Shen, the main reason is that many resources in the New World have not been used yet, and there is still a long window of opportunity for a large amount of manpower."
"And ancient costume martial arts dramas will cause some types of employees to have nothing to do."
"We will still shoot martial arts dramas next year, but we will also shoot other types of dramas."
“I am very optimistic about the theme of the War of Resistance.”
Shen Xixiong smiled: "Generally speaking, anti-Japanese war dramas must rely on the platform of CCTV-1 to have high ratings and break 2."
"For the new world, this is a bit of a waste of your resource allocation."
"Although you have just been born, who says that being a hero depends on age? I am optimistic that you will become a leading company in domestic TV dramas."
"It's a waste to film an anti-Japanese war drama."
Han Zhou heard this and it seemed that Director Shen was very concerned about the development of the New World?
But this opportunity must be seized!
If it is broadcast on CCTV-1 after filming, it is something you cannot ask for!
In the past, what channel did "Drawing Sword" air on? What were the ratings?
If it’s broadcast on CCTV, the ratings will explode!
Han Zhou didn't dare to say anything about how much he wanted to break ten, after all, he hadn't even started filming yet. Han Zhou: "New World, this anti-Japanese war drama, is guaranteed to have a viewership rating of over five!"
Listening to Han Zhou's words, Director Shen picked up the cup of tea that Director Ren brought over and took a sip.
I heard that the ratings broke 5...
“Poof~”
A mouthful of tea sprayed onto the face of Director Ren, who was closest to him.
Director Ren looked resentful.
Director Shen hurriedly said, "Hey, you, get some tissues, tissues."
"Cough, cough, cough."
"Director Ren, this cup of tea is too hot. Sorry!"
Director Ren laughed awkwardly: "Director Shen, it's all my fault for brewing the tea too hot..."
Director Shen saw someone bring paper to Director Ren and reminded him that there was a piece of tea on the left side of his face. Then he turned to look at Han Zhou and said, "Han Zhou, breaking five... You should know that there has been no TV series breaking five in nearly ten years. Of course, "Number One Under Heaven" breaking five is impressive, but it does not mean that every drama in New World will have such an exaggerated ratings."
"If every drama has this rating, then you are not a director, you are a director god."
"Except for CCTV-1, no anti-Japanese war drama has had a viewership rating of over 2% in seven years."
"Even CCTV-1 hasn't had a ratings above 2.2 for four years."
"Breaking five, this goes without saying."
Han Zhou: "It's going to be five. I guarantee it will be five."
Director Shen had heard about Han Zhou's suspected mental illness, so he didn't insist on arguing with him. Instead, he asked, "Why did you suddenly want to film an anti-Japanese war drama?"
Han Zhou: "It's mainly because I've been paying attention to "Charge" recently, and I've also met some people in this field. If there are resources... then... um."
The main thing is, you can't catch a sheep and pull its wool, the sheep will get angry.
But if you are plucking the wool of two sheep at the same time, you won’t be so angry if you have a companion.
Another thing is that Han Zhou’s own main team cannot keep shooting martial arts dramas.
After the market for martial arts dramas was developed, New World cultivated a lot of talents in making martial arts dramas, and these talents were enough to support new martial arts drama crews.
After these people left, where did Zhang Jiuquan, Chen Xiaoyong and others go?
Of course it was Han Zhou who led them to explore new areas.
"Bright Sword" is very suitable.
Han Zhou knew that in order to fight against the Beijing circle, he had to seize the privileges of main-theme movies from the Beijing circle.
but!
How to pull it over?
In addition to the Beijing circle, there is another circle that can shoot main-theme movies, and that is the military circle!
Therefore, Han Zhou needs to give the New World a representative military work.
However, Han Zhou's New World is not qualified to shoot military works.
How to save the country in a roundabout way?
Of course, it is to shoot military works that do not require military assistance, and the War of Resistance is the only choice.
Therefore, Han Zhou has a three-step strategy.
Anti-Japanese War dramas, special forces dramas, and military movies.
Now that the Anti-Japanese War drama has been a huge success, we can look for people from the military to make a modern military drama.
With the cooperation foundation of military dramas, we can make movies.
After completing the three steps, Han Zhou could walk around Yanjing City with his head held high, and it didn't matter if he looked down on people in the Beijing circle.
Director Shen smiled and said, "Since New World has plans in this regard and is not forcing us to do anything, after the filming is successful, you can send the drama to me and Director Ren for review. If it meets the standards, then we can go ahead with it."
In fact, Master Shen’s meaning is very clear.
After the filming of this drama was completed, no professionals were allowed to review it to see if it was acceptable.
Let Director Ren and I take a look at it. If we think it’s not too bad, we’ll give it to you.
Having said that, it shows that Director Shen is really optimistic about Han Zhou.
Han Zhou patted his chest and said, "If it doesn't look good, I will quit the TV industry."
After hearing what Han Zhou said, Director Shen hesitated for a moment before he realized: This kid is serious and is not trying to please me?
It would be great if we had a company of young people like him!
Director Shen: "Okay, let's just leave this as it is for now and move on to the next thing."
"Our station needs an animated film to be broadcast on international channels. And given the special circumstances this time, we may cooperate with a TV station in the Land of Sakura to broadcast a dubbed film."
"It means translating our animation into Japanese and broadcasting it there."
"We can't be embarrassed about this matter, so we have to find the best animation. Ren is the director of this matter."
Han Zhou raised his right hand high.
Director Shen: “Emm…”
"you say."
Han Zhou: "As for animation, our New World says that its ratings are second, so who dares to say that they are first?"
How fresh! The ratings of "Boonie Bears" are here.
Director Shen smiled and said, "Xiao Han, I wonder if you know anything about the Sakura Country."
"I understand!" Han Zhou: "I learned a few words of Japanese in Hengdian."
Director Shen: “Oh?”
Han Zhou: "I want a sack from Siguo, Yoshi, Yame..."
Director Shen: “Okay.”
"Let me tell you, in Sakura Country, the anime is more adult and darker than ours."
“Our animations tend to be more childish.”
"For example, Boonie Bears has a huge market in China, but it has relatively little market in the Land of Sakura."
"They are an aging society with not many children. Generally speaking, animation must be compatible with the five to twenty-five or even thirty-five years old group to have a good return, and their animation industry itself is very strong, so the competition is huge."
Han Zhou: "I know this. Our New World Animation Department is currently working on anime movies. We have accumulated a lot of talent, but some of them are not suitable for 3D animation, so there are many more talents for 2D animation. So we are planning to make an animation for teenagers."
Han Zhou: "To ensure the ratings..."
Director Shen interrupted: "Alright, alright, stop swearing. This matter requires open competition, and the right to choose is not ours, but Kyoto TV's."
Han Zhou: "Master Shen, don't worry, no one can compete with New World."
The anime Han Zhou wants to make is "Naruto".
It would be so cool to copy Naruto in another world and then make money from the Japanese people.
Is Naruto good? Yes!
But "Naruto" is the ultimate patchwork, madly plagiarizing Chinese things and then making money from the Chinese.
Now that there is a chance to earn it back, I must do it.
The character designs in the early stage of "Naruto" were almost completely copied from "Wind and Cloud", and the skills were almost completely modified based on "Wind and Cloud".
As for items, they just follow the example of "Journey to the West" to get the free stuff.
The character designs and moves of the later period of "Naruto" were completely copied from "The Mystical Ninja 2".
In terms of basic settings, the content of "Naruto" completely copied the Taoist theory of Qimen Dunjia and Five Elements.
Ultimate stitching is more than that.
Even the theme song of Naruto, "Blue Bird", was plagiarized from "Blue Bird" released by Xu Shao Nian in 1997.
Some people defended the songs, saying that it was normal to have a little overlap, it was just a coincidence.
The song titles are the same, is that a coincidence?
In order to divert public attention, some people even picked a few notes from Beethoven's "Pathetique", which were very similar to a certain sentence in the main melody of the two songs, and then said that Xu Shaonian's "The Blue Bird" was also plagiarized.
In fact, Xu Shaonian didn't care about this matter at all. A popular Sakura Country band copied a song, but he couldn't even afford to pay the compensation, so he didn't bother to care.
The weird thing is that Naruto fans jumped out and said that "The Blue Bird" released by Xu Shao Nian in 1997 was a plagiarism of "The Blue Bird" released by Sakura Country in 2008.
After being beaten up badly, he realized that he had made a mistake, so he deleted the post and changed his account, and then said that it was a tribute and reference.
Do people like Xu Shaonian know your lousy Sakura Country group? Do they want you to pay tribute to them?
The melodies and rhythms of those two songs are almost identical, so it can only be said that they are piracy, tributes or references?
In the entertainment circle, whenever a song in China has a line similar to one from abroad, someone will come out and accuse you of plagiarism.
Foreign countries plagiarized China, copying almost the entire song, and some people even came out to wash it away, saying that it sounded better after they remade it. How could they plagiarize the Chinese national anthem when they don’t even understand Chinese? Is it a coincidence?
Han Zhou had watched all the episodes and theatrical versions of "Naruto" in his previous life.
I can only say that it is indeed good-looking, it is indeed plagiarized, and the stitching is really good.
It is precisely because of this that it is more suitable for New World to do it.
Because these things are originally Chinese products, Chinese people are more adept at making them.
Moreover, when "Naruto" was stitched together, it was already Japanese-style, so there was no need for New World to study how to revise it for the market.
This way, you can save trouble and make money.
This is really suitable for doing!
Han Zhou said very seriously: "We in New World have studied Sakura Country animation, we can definitely do this well."
Director Shen looked at Han Zhou and said, "There is a third thing. We need a food documentary to be broadcasted at the French Braised Chicken White Teeth."
"If you mention this again, New World will do the same thing, and I will be furious."
Han Zhou wanted to raise his hand.
After hearing what Director Shen said, I accepted it immediately.
I will do it after you guys are defeated...
But then again, how could New World have the time to enter so many new subject areas?
Next up is "Drawing Sword" which is a new plan, and then we have to save our energy for planning new movies.
However, for the new movie, we have to wait until "Kung Fu" is released and see its box office performance before making a decision.
Han Zhou spent the afternoon in a meeting at CCTV.
In the evening, because it was National Day, the special news broadcast was extended by seventeen minutes.
So, after the weather forecast, there were no advertisements and the premiere of "Young Justice Bao" started directly.
Now Han Zhou can't afford the box office.
But it deserves the ratings!
Many people watched the trailer and saw that Han Zhou was playing the protagonist, so they waited in front of the TV.
With An Lan, Zhang Ceyong and Lu Jin as the second male lead, this lineup is quite attractive.
Moreover, because there are no advertisements, the ratings are based on the ratings of the weather forecast. When the ratings were released at the beginning of the show, many people couldn't believe it.
The opening ratings were 3.6!!
Director Ren: "Brother Han, if the second episode can maintain a three-point rating, it will be a great success."
"If we can maintain 2.5, it's a success. If we break 2, it's not a failure."
Han Zhou smiled.
Yeah?
The first episode of Shao Bao is actually a very famous case in the history of China in the past.
Lard and copper coins case.
This happened during the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Bowen encountered this incident.
However, there is no Ming Dynasty, no Liu Bowen, and no such case in this world.
So, when the case was broadcast on TV, no audience knew what was going on.
The process was very simple. Bao Zheng encountered a case on his way to the yamen to perform an autopsy.
The old man who sells meat had his money stolen.
The thief could not be caught for a while.
At the same time, Captain Lu has brought a group of people to investigate the cause of death of the official's wife. Daotou Shen went to the Bamboo Forest to fight a tiger. There is no one in the yamen, so it is Bao Zheng's turn to show off... No, it is Bao Zheng's turn to appear on the stage.
Bao Zheng thought about it and came up with a plan, so he seriously interrogated a breeding pig next to him.
Of course, the breeding pig cannot talk, and it is impossible for it to steal money, so Bao Zheng told the onlookers that the breeding pig said it has elderly parents and young children to take care of, and asked everyone to donate a penny so that its family's life will be guaranteed after it goes to prison.
As a result, one of them threw out a penny and was caught by Bao Zheng on the spot!
Because when he threw the copper coin into the bowl of water prepared by Bao Zheng, oil splashed out!
The principle is very simple. It is difficult for the people at the scene and the money on them to be stained with oil, except for the old man selling meat, who sells pork and his coins are easily stained with oil.
The case process was not long, but just this one case was enough to fascinate the audience.
Change the channel? That's impossible!
What channel are you changing?
All the ones transferred from other channels must be left to me!
Later, when the autopsy began, there were many jokes, and the case was solved seriously, and the case was handled very well.
Just talking about the plot of the first episode, it can be said to be a perfect debut.
Soon, the ratings were also sent to the prime-time office of CCTV-1.
