I'm just a system porter

Chapter 357 Intense Competition

After all, iPartment is a comedy, and the male characters in it need to bear more jokes. Super popular male stars often fail to achieve the expected results because they cannot let go of the burden of idols.

In addition, Yang Yu plans to shoot many sequels, and the contract renewal of the super popular idol is also a problem.

The original version of Love Apartment lasted 11 years, but only filmed five seasons. The reason for this is the contract renewal of the protagonist.

The actors who played the No. [-] protagonist Lu Zhan and Bo Lin Wanyu in the first season were unwilling to film the second season. The director was forced to use newcomers, and at the same time helped the No. [-] protagonists Hu Yifei and Zeng Xiaoxian.

The third season faced the same problem. The actors of Chen Meijia and Zhang Wei had no schedule. Fortunately, the actor of Zeng Xiaoxian persuaded the actors of Lu Zhan and Bo Lin Wanyu to return to continue the life of the love apartment.

In the fourth season, Lu Zhan, Bo Lin Wanyu was absent again, and the main line of iPartment returned to Xianfeilian.

Afterwards, several leading actors expressed their unwillingness to continue acting in iPartment, and the fifth season was stillborn.

It was not until five years later that I reluctantly shot the movie version of Love Apartment. However, due to the restraint of various forces, the movie version was also nondescript.

As for the final season of iPartment, there are more absent leading actors.

Lu Zhan, Bo Lin, Wan Yu, Guan Gu and Tang Youyou were all absent, and even Zeng Xiaoxian only appeared in friendship.

Therefore, when the director was forced to recruit newcomers, he had to hastily end Xianfei's love, and instead developed the plot around Zhang Wei and Zhuge Dali.

In Yang Yu's remake of Love Apartment, in addition to reshaping the classics, he also hopes to continue the classics and avoid the ending of five seasons.

Yang Yu plays Lu Zhanbo, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about contract renewal, and the three heroines also don't need to worry about it.

The biggest problem is the remaining three leading men.

Explaining the strong relationship, the girls agreed with Yang Yu's point of view.

However, how to choose actors is also very troublesome.

In traditional film and television works, the time spent on selecting actors is often several times that of filming.

Yang Yu is also the director, screenwriter and starring role, so it is basically impossible to complete it in a short time.

Fortunately, Yang Yu is assisted by the entertainment superstar system.

The entertainment superstar system reaches the second stage, and the team mode will be unlocked.

The previous host, Su Miaoyun, had completed the initial team operation, and selected many talented young people through the entertainment superstar system.

In the copyright incident in January, in order to complete the task as soon as possible, Su Miaoyun gave Yang Yu the studio under her name, including 22 talented young people.

After some screening, Yang Yu quickly found an actor suitable to star in Love Apartment, Luo Zhikang, Songping Xiaolong.

Luo Zhi plays Lu Ziqiao, Kang Songping plays Guan Gu Miracle, and Xiao Long plays Zeng Xiaoxian.

There is no need for Yang Yu to worry about the contract issue. Su Miaoyun has already signed a 17-year long contract with them.

None of the three actors selected by Yang Yu completed the first year of their contracts, which means they still need to work for Yang Yu for 16 years.

As for the degree of professionalism, there is no need to worry at all, with a 17-year long-term contract as a guarantee, if Yang Yu does not perform well, Yang Yu can just freeze it.

What's more, they also cherish the rare opportunity very much. After all, the entertainment industry is under great competition pressure. To stand out, in addition to their own efforts, they also need the support of noble people, and Yang Yu is their noble person.

After simply trying a few scenes, the performance of these three people is remarkable.

After half a month of preparation, the new version of Love Apartment was officially launched.

It took only fifteen days to record and then another week to edit.

As for the propaganda work, Yang Yu didn't take it to heart at all, but it saved a lot of money.

However, when choosing a playback platform, there was a problem.

The three Middle-earth TVs also stated that the broadcast plan for the last half year has been formulated, and if they want to broadcast, it will take half a year at the earliest.

Yang Yu was naturally unwilling to accept this result.

It's just that he didn't know that such a reply was not to belittle, but to value.

According to normal circumstances, it takes at least a year and a half for a TV series from planning to filming to final release.

The preparatory work includes writing the script, selecting actors, and passing the approval of relevant departments. It is impossible to complete without more than half a year.

In addition, lighting, sound, camera, and styling are all indispensable. Any problem in any link may ruin a TV series.

For the mid-term shooting, it is necessary to coordinate the schedule of the leading actors, and it will take more than half a year to rent the shooting location.

It will take at least half a year for post-editing and promotion and contacting the TV station.

Relying on the connections of twelve actresses in the entertainment industry and almost unlimited funds, Yang Yu was able to gather the top lighting, sound, camera and modeling in the country in a short period of time.

As for writing the script, Yang Yu was able to complete it overnight by relying on his familiarity with the classic version of Love Apartment and his own skills as a literary artist.

In addition, relying on the operation of twelve top brokerage companies, all approvals can be passed in a short period of time.

As for choosing actors and coordinating schedules, the three actresses naturally fully supported Yang Yu and gave up many announcements.

As for the three new actors, their schedules are relatively loose.

There is no need to worry about renting the venue. Love Apartment is a sitcom, and most of the plots are completed indoors, so the requirements for the venue are not high.

The only thing that gave Yang Yu a headache was the TV station.

"In the past six months, I have also had a lot of programs on the three major TV stations, so I should have a good relationship. Why haven't they agreed to my request?" Yang Yu asked puzzled.

"These three David TVs have already taken good care of you!" Yang Jinmi said helplessly, "Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a new director's work to be on the three David TVs, let alone broadcast in prime time."

"Is the competition so fierce?" Yang Yu asked back.

Yang Jinmi felt dizzy when she heard this.

Yang Yu didn't understand at all, the entertainment industry in Middle-earth World, in desperation, could only popularize science with Yang Yu.

"Do you know how many TV series Middle-earth shoots every year?" Yang Jinmi asked.

"[-] episodes? [-] episodes? [-] episodes?" Yang Yu guessed three times in a row, but never got it right.

"30 episodes!" Yang Jinmi uttered a terrifying number, and then added, "This is the data calculated two years ago! Two years ago, it reached 30 episodes per year, and now it is only a lot more."

"Can all these TV series be broadcast on the TV station?" Yang Yu asked again.

"Of course it's impossible. All the TV stations in Middle-earth combined can only broadcast 15000 episodes of TV series every year!" Yang Jinmi replied, and then added, "This is also the data from two years ago, and now it will only be higher than this number." Less, not more!"

"Why?" Yang Yu asked puzzled.

There are more and more TV dramas, but the broadcast volume of TV stations is getting less and less.

"Take Mango TV as an example. Ten years ago, Mango TV only broadcast variety shows on Saturdays and Sundays in prime time. Later, they also started to broadcast variety shows on Fridays. Today, they start to broadcast variety shows on Thursdays. A large number of variety shows, squeezing The broadcasting time of the TV series." Yang Jinmi explained.
