Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system

Chapter 718: Marginal People in Farming Literature (20)

The cast and crew of "The Amazing Race"

Sometimes, Shen Yao was also in a dilemma. She repeatedly told everyone not to cause trouble on set. Everyone hoped that the movie would make money, but some people just liked to challenge the bottom line and wanted to test where the bottom line of the crew was.

"Screenwriter Shen, what should we do? Do we need to revise the script?"

The screenwriter in charge, Zheng, was more senior than Shen Yao, but unfortunately, he was at the bottom of the crew and no one dared to offend any of the big stars in the crew.

As a result of trying to back down and give way, you end up losing everything.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao rubbed her chin, speechless. Even though the lines were already set, people still found fault with them, wanted to change them, and even tried to highlight her.

Tut tut

Do they really think they're some kind of spotlight? They're always talking about highlighting themselves, without ever considering whether they even deserve it.

Moreover, a film is an ensemble piece, and the characters in it are all very important. Removing any one of their scenes would make the story less coherent.

Especially this one, it's simply outlandish!

"Adjust what? The director hasn't said anything. If he wants to make adjustments, he should discuss it with the directors. You just need to be responsible for the original content and push everything else to the director." Is it so hard to pass the buck? When I came to ask her, all she could say was that everything was up to the director's arrangement.

As for how Director Zhou You responded to such remarks? He didn't need to answer; the producer and investors were there and would stop them.

Screenwriter Zheng: ...

Okay, but in this kind of situation, it seems like all that's left is to shift the blame to those above.

As a screenwriter working on set, it's best for him not to offer opinions casually. Just a few days ago, a scandal broke online about a production crew ruining a screenwriter's career. He doesn't earn a living easily, and getting involved in such things won't do him any good.

The system was puzzled. 'This kind of thing often happened on other film sets before. Why are there still people like this on this new set?'

Shouldn't famous and successful celebrities be shrewd and calculating? Why do they seem to be using some kind of intelligence-lowering halo, doing things that ordinary people wouldn't do, as if they're afraid of being seen as smart?

why?

"Of course, it's because they're surrounded by people who flatter and fawn over them, people who want something from them."

If people don't tell the truth, it's hard to maintain a relationship for long, no matter how rational they are. Besides, these actors and celebrities in the entertainment industry have too many accolades. They don't even think there's anything wrong with changing their lines. After all, they are professionals, and everything they do is to make the plot more complete.

system:……

'Hiss, isn't this exactly like those ancient monarchs who lost their kingdoms?'

Shen Yao rubbed her chin and hummed in agreement. It was true that they were indeed professional enough, but if they stayed in the midst of praise for too long, their professionalism would become amateurish as they became complacent.

The person in front of us perfectly illustrates the saying "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down." Just wait, with someone like this jumping out to cause trouble and steal the spotlight, the other actors in the crew will probably behave themselves for a while.

What is this called?

Sacrifice the individual for the benefit of the greater good.

Sure enough, upon hearing that the other party wanted to change the lines, Director Zhou You immediately stopped them without saying a word, and also proactively cut several scenes involving the other party that were somewhat dispensable.

The director's reason was that it was unnecessary, since movies need to be concise and have time constraints; being too long would negatively impact the audience's mindset.

As someone who ended up losing more than they gained by trying to steal a chicken, they can only swallow their bitterness.

With that, the turmoil on set subsided, and everyone was able to work peacefully.

"This is"

"This is for you"

Jiang Hanzhou smiled and handed a document to Shen Yao, then casually pulled up a chair and sat down.

Seeing this, Shen Yao raised an eyebrow. When she flipped through the document in her hand, she clearly wrote down the top line of text. It was a list of several variety shows that Jiang Hanzhou had selected. These shows had a very strong national base in the neighboring country and their ratings were consistently high.

"Which category do you want to choose?" It's unrealistic to want all of them, especially since Jiang Hanzhou has limited personal energy. This is also a common-sense cooperation with Hunan TV. If he were to invest all his wealth, any risk or loss would affect his other businesses.

"This is a gap in China. If it can be successfully localized, it will give us more say in the adaptation process."

Jiang Hanzhou's words directly included Shen Yao, clearly indicating that he wanted to drag Shen Yao into this together.

"Is there something else about me?" Shen Yao asked in surprise. She feigned composure for a moment and then said that the investment in the variety show was too large and she couldn't handle it.

Jiang Hanzhou:......

“Let’s go with this show then. It might be more to your liking,” Jiang Hanzhou flipped to a page in the document, which listed a talent show. After all, the neighboring country’s culture prioritizes entertainment, with the goal of having everyone become a star.

As the saying goes, the economic base determines the superstructure. They really can't compare to the ability to perform group dances at various serious events.

Shen Yao:......

“There’s no suitable stage for this kind of event in China. Maybe we could turn them into an actor talent show, where the winners could star in a tailor-made script. That might attract a wider audience,” Shen Yao suddenly thought that having an “Actor 101” format would be a good idea. After all, her main job is writing novels and screenplays, so a few scripts would be a simple matter.

This isn't Shen Yao deliberately boasting; all of her novels are based on reality.

To know that your own stories actually happened, you have to admit that no one could come up with such a hardcore idea.

Shen Yao has now completed three novels, two of which have been adapted into film and television dramas. One of them became a hit online after its release, with countless people watching it repeatedly to revisit and learn new things. The other is about to be released and is also highly anticipated.

Shen Yao doesn't mind using her own name to boost her visibility. If this variety show for actors can be successfully launched, she has already thought of many ways to help the actors gain more attention.

Jiang Hanzhou:......

Jiang Hanzhou's eyes sparkled, thinking to himself how he hadn't thought of this.

Yes!

The national conditions in China and abroad are different. Abroad, idols have the lowest status, and actors who can act in TV dramas are highly sought after by the people. In China, however, regardless of whether you can sing or dance, you are all required to join a film crew to act.

Shen Yao went straight to the point, using ordinary people or obscure celebrities as gimmicks, leveraging her own fame and good script resources. The general public would be very willing to watch, since everyone wants to personally promote the people they discover. It's like a nurturing game, except that nurturing in the entertainment industry requires real money.

"This variety show can definitely be created, and it even has a hit and an audience." You know, audiences have been fed up with ugly actors by capital for too long. Who wouldn't like to watch handsome men and beautiful women acting in TV dramas?

They provide the scripts, video websites provide the platform, and nationwide auditions and other talent agencies provide the participants for the variety shows.

This variety show is open to both men and women, and can even create competition or cooperation based on the differences between the sexes. Jiang Hanzhou became more and more excited. He suddenly didn't want to do his own outdoor variety show anymore. It was obvious that Shen Yao was better at grasping what the audience wanted to watch.

"These kinds of variety shows are hard to get broadcast on satellite TV, but of course, once they are broadcast, they will only become more popular."

I'll prioritize video platforms and optimize this project later.

Of course, the copyright issue still needs to be resolved. Otherwise, if any inappropriate issues are exposed after the broadcast, it will affect the program's reputation and cause them to lose money.

Jiang Hanzhou reassured Shen Yao that all the documents he could produce were for projects that had been resolved and were without any worries. At least he wouldn't leave any ammunition for her to use against him. Reputation is neither important nor unimportant in this circle.

At least Jiang Hanzhou was unwilling to let some avoidable trouble affect his reputation. As for the others in the industry, everyone has their own destiny. They are mortgaging their future reputation to achieve today's success. As long as they don't feel they are at a loss, no one else has the right to say anything.

Shen Yao: ...I always feel that Jiang Hanzhou is subtle, but I can't find any faults in him on the surface. This person is indeed a classic type with extremely polarized opinions in the industry. At least she can't do it.

system:……

Is this something to be proud of? It's normal that the host can't do it, otherwise you'll be facing opponents and enemies everywhere you go, and how can your career even get off the ground?

With both topics concluded, each person then proceeded to address their respective areas for improvement.

By the time the two parties meet, they will have been able to present each other with a complete project process.

Among them, the variety show that Shen Yao has tentatively named "The Birth Diary of an Actor" has a clear plan in terms of personnel configuration, mentor arrangement and script selection. These can even become a point of negotiation with the platform or even the website. After all, as the initiator of the variety show, Shen Yao still has a certain amount of power over who to use and who not to use.

"However, it would be best to reduce the number of people with connections, as that would affect the overall impression and, to some extent, go against our interests."

Shen Yao raised her hand and tapped the table. Then she mentioned that she wanted to collaborate with Hongshi Network again. Back then, she became a sensation on this platform by writing novels. What kind of scripts have built-in traffic? Of course, it's novels that already have a certain fan base.

By partnering with Hongshi Network, they can acquire many different types of novels at a relatively affordable price, and even reduce their investment in filming later. Of course, they will inevitably share some of the profits.

Jiang Hanzhou nodded repeatedly, indicating that Shen Yao's suggestion was indeed excellent.

However, things need to be resolved step by step. To prevent their ideas from being plagiarized, we should arrange for people to contact all parties as soon as possible and get the project implemented.

"Wh-what?" Yang Tiantian was still sitting at her workstation, half-dead and busy as usual. When she saw the chat software avatar flashing, she thought it was a message from a colleague or author, but it turned out to be related to Shen Yao.

This is one of the top authors on their Red Persimmon Network!

Upon seeing Shen Yao's polite greeting, Yang Tiantian immediately replied to the message and rushed to the nearby leader's office to report.

God knows how much she didn't want to do it before, but now she's just glad she didn't leave, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to witness such a grand occasion.

The negotiations with Hongshi Network went very smoothly because it was a great publicity opportunity for them. You see, among so many novel websites in China, although Hongshi Network is getting stronger and stronger, it is still not a leading company in the country and lacks some foundation and accumulation.

If the variety show becomes popular right now, Hongshi Network can use it to promote itself. However, sacrificing the copyrights of a few novels is insignificant compared to the huge profits that can be gained.

While still on set, Shen Yao had already secured deals with various platforms for her variety show. Once this project was finished, she would join the show's preparation and pre-production work as a producer.

"Blueberry TV has shown great sincerity, including the opening host, who is currently being heavily promoted," Shen Yao was on the phone with Jiang Hanzhou, and the two were discussing the variety show that had been renamed "Actor Growth Show".

The project is currently in the approval stage, and the most crucial casting process is underway.

Of course, some actors, directors, screenwriters, and producers are guests invited by variety shows. They need to appear on the show at a certain time to provide assistance to these actors.

Shen Yao is currently considering discussing with Jiang Hanzhou the possibility of selecting a few good performers and deepening their collaboration after the variety show ends.

This variety show is the first to showcase the journey of actors from zero to one, greatly satisfying the audience's understanding of the profession and making it less distant and unapproachable than before.

Ultimately, we still need to promote positive energy; that's what it means to be in line with the overall situation.

Jiang Hanzhou couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle, discovering that Shen Yao did indeed have a side he didn't know about. This side of Shen Yao seemed even more vibrant and radiant, like a shining star, shining brightly in the dark night.

Jiang Hanzhou provided many feasible solutions and even arranged for people to come and help.

Collaborating with television stations and even online platforms is both an opportunity and a challenge for Shen Yao. If she can succeed, her reputation will officially take off.

Blueberry Terrace

Shen Yao appeared in the station director's office dressed in a simple and straightforward work outfit.

Normally, this type of variety show wouldn't be submitted to the station director, but Shen Yao personally handled the novel content of the show, and other people and platforms also helped endorse it.

In recent years, Blueberry TV has been struggling to breathe under the pressure of other channels, so it's only a rare opportunity to find a variety show that's likely to become a hit, so of course they're willing to take a gamble.

To become the station director, one must have the courage to gamble, especially since the probability of winning this variety show is extremely high, and the station director is even less likely to let go of the credit that comes his way.

Blueberry TV ensured the best in both staffing and venue arrangements. They even took the initiative to handle some of the casting work, which could easily offend people, thus shielding Shen Yao from many social obligations.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao sat in her bright and spacious office, next to the director in charge of the variety show. The two were designing the opening arrangements, especially the requirements for the participating actors, whether there was a script and the scope of their speech, which would affect the subsequent direction of the entire variety show.
