Everyday film and television world

If Liu Hao were to rank a sitcom, "Growing Pains" would definitely be in the top three.

First, because it is the first sitcom to enter China, and it is full of firepower and very representative.

Second, although this is based on a family unit and three children as the theme, this TV series can be said to be suitable for audiences of all ages to enjoy... Children can see funny things, young people can laugh knowingly, Young people can also understand some truths hidden in life from it.

Of course, this TV series is not just a concentration camp. The reason why Liu Hao chose it and dared to take it to the Hong Kong government for censorship is that this TV series is truly entertaining and educational.

Adults have adult problems, children have children's problems, these are the real life.And education does not lie in whitewashing, nor does it lie in long and cumbersome teachings, but in explaining according to the situation... Maybe this word is not quite accurate, but after watching this TV series, many parents should feel ashamed.

Xiangjiang's social form and lifestyle are the product of a combination of Chinese and Western. Compared with the mainland during this period, they are more likely to accept this TV series.

Of course, Liu Hao also needs to revise the script when writing the script. Things that are too advanced should be deleted, but some interesting and novel things should be kept, and some jokes that fit the life of Xiangjiang people in this era should be added. Then such a good film , will definitely arouse the resonance of Xiangjiang children.

The reason why "Growing Troubles" is popular is definitely not only because of its laughing points, but also because it actually contains many things that people will remember and think about after laughing.

To put it simply, "Growing Troubles" discusses the work of men and women, the discussion of education methods, and the discussion of children's growth and learning, how to deal with issues such as academic performance, conflicts among classmates, and puppy love. These two children are aimed at three groups of people respectively. These are all done with great care. As long as you savor them carefully, you can feel the deep meaning that the screenwriter wants to express.

Liu Hao has always believed that everything should be serious, serious, and truth-seeking. As long as these three points are done properly, the final result will definitely not be too bad.

90, 2000, and 90s were the golden age of Xiangjiang film, TV and music, but later, Xiangjiang’s film and television production became more and more perfunctory, so it finally suffered a later decline—since [-], Xiangjiang’s film and television production was almost the same It's gone downhill, and it can no longer reach the situation of [-]s, when everyone is empty.

It's not that Xiangjiang people are not talented because they don't have alliances, but that they are too eager for quick success, and don't care about polishing every aspect of the show... Whether it's scripts, costumes and props, actors' emotional investment, shooting skills, budget preparations, etc., they are all capable. How can you make good things out of the attitude of just getting by?

They just envy the glory of Hollywood directors breaking box office records again and again, but they don't see the painstaking efforts and decisive decisions that people spend years or even ten years in polishing a movie!

So, any greatness has to pay a price, there is absolutely no success without a reason!

Just like Cameron, it is his seriousness and hard work for his work that made classics such as "Titanic", "True Lies", "Terminator" and "Avatar" come out.

Liu Hao does not have the ambition of a great director like Cameron. After all, he is a porter, but this does not prevent him from being an enterprising porter.

"Bao Qingtian" and "Wulin Biography" are both experimental products. He wrote the script, asked others to produce it, and then summed up experience to make improvements.Although Taoli Entertainment is a major shareholder of Jiashi, it is nothing more than that. His script will eventually be filmed by Taoli Entertainment. As the first launch of Jiashi's educational program reform.

The three major TV stations in Hong Kong currently have the same chronic problem-there is no separation of production and broadcasting in the later generations. Almost all major TV stations shoot various TV programs to meet the needs of broadcasting, and occasionally invest in foreign cities. TV series or programs to play.

This way sounds like self-sufficiency, but in fact it is putting shackles on yourself and carrying a heavy burden.If it adopts the operation method of separating production and broadcasting, then the TV station can completely save huge production costs and choose better TV dramas. In order to make their programs recognized by the TV station, the producer will shoot more seriously and carefully. Excellent TV series... This reminded Liu Hao of the reform of the state-run system. It seemed that he was promoting the reform of TV program production and broadcasting methods.

In Liu Hao's plan, the cost of "Growing Pains" is controlled at about 3000 yuan for a single episode. Now the TV series produced by the three major TV stations are generally around 8000-10000 yuan. They will not buy external TV series at low prices. Buy cheap, good works they all like.

The cost of a single episode of "Bao Qingtian II" even reached 20000 yuan... Of course, for Jiashi, this kind of TV series with an audience rating of over 40% is acceptable even if the cost is higher.

Tao Li Entertainment has officially entered the field of TV dramas. The TV dramas produced are not only sold to Jiashi, but also to other TV stations, such as TV stations in Japan, other Southeast Asian countries, and even Europe and the United States. The show can also be sold after filming.

Achievement is the driving force. Liu Hao took out the work of "Growing Pains" and started writing the script... Unlike some previous film and television dramas that were directly transferred, the script of this TV series involved a lot of changes.

I don't know if it's because of the increasing reserves of knowledge and experience, but in just one hour, the script of the first episode has been completed.

Taking advantage of his good condition, Liu Hao lay down on the table throughout the afternoon and night except for going to the toilet and eating a takeaway box lunch, and quickly wrote out the plot that popped up in his mind.

Of course, it is impossible for him to complete more than 100 episodes at once, unless he enters the space and uses the space ability of "controlling time" to complete this work in a very short time.However, Liu Hao is becoming less and less willing to use the ability of 'controlling time'. For some reason, there is a will in the dark reminding him not to use this ability lightly... He has followed his heart.

Except for the cancellation of some obvious era elements and European and American elements, the description of other details has not been changed much.

Another example is the speech actions of each character, the occasional acrimony shown by the head of the family as a psychologist, the hostess’s consideration of gains and losses when re-entering the workplace, the mature disguise of the eldest son, the cuteness of the daughter, and the weird elf of the younger son... … Liu Hao has his own understanding of these expressions. While respecting the originality, he also wrote out the expressions of these characters in his own mind, which may not be completely original.

This is not to say that it is ok, after the first draft is finished, he will slowly revise it, and write some more appropriate plots according to some habits of Xiangjiang people.

Fortunately, although the cultures are different, children still have many similarities in the process of growing up, and most of the bridges are common.Unknowingly, when Liu Hao raised his head again, he realized that it was dawn.

Look at the time again, it is already six o'clock in the morning!

Except for Liu Hao taking a nap for more than two hours at eleven o'clock in the evening, he actually wrote the script for 13 hours, and wrote a total of 15 episodes.

Although only the first draft, it is also a remarkable achievement.

It was impossible for him to be tired, but he was indeed a little hungry.

Coming out of the study, before I could see clearly, a surprise call sounded in my ears: "Brother! You finally came out!"

Liu Yang, a girl who has grown into a slim figure, suddenly rushed over.

"It's only been a while, is there any need to be so excited?"

As Liu Hao said, he looked completely indifferent, but his arms were already open, and he gently embraced the girl in his arms.

"elder brother."

He Xiao and He Yu also ran over, Liu Hao let go of Liu Yang, and hugged the siblings too.

"Brother, you were busy in the study when you came back yesterday, did you not eat?" The girl was still careful, Liu Yang observed very carefully.

"I'm starving to death."

Liu Hao made an exaggerated expression, and all three of them laughed, "Where's godfather and godmother? Are you not at home?"

"My parents have turned into workaholics now. They went out early in the morning and told us not to disturb you." He Xiao looked resentful.

"Godfather and the others are planning to go back to the mainland to develop after the small restaurant on the Xiangjiang side is on the right track." Liu Yang said from the side.

"Brother, I heard from Dad that we are going back to the capital to go to school. Can you tell Dad not to go back?" He Yu said.

"Don't bother brother with this matter. Brother, let's eat first." Liu Yang gently pinched He Yu's baby-fat face to prevent the little girl from continuing to play tricks on her.

Aunt Zhang made the breakfast. Although Liu Yang and the others had already eaten, they still stayed with Liu Hao and talked to him.

"Godfather really decided to let you go back to the capital to study?" Liu Hao asked.

"No final decision yet."

Liu Yang said: "There is still a certain gap between the education level in the mainland and Xiangjiang. But this is not the key issue. The main reason is that we have become accustomed to the education method of Xiangjiang. It may not be a good thing after we go back. And godfathers and godmothers are not giving up here. , we usually live in school, and when we go home on weekends, they can come to Xiangjiang to accompany us, and we can also go to grandpa or uncle’s house.”

Liu Hao supports them to stay in Xiangjiang, not to say that the inland is not good, but that the education system in the inland has been greatly damaged and is now being restored.In a short period of time, the education level in the Mainland cannot match that of the education system outside.

However, parents always have their own considerations for their children's education, and Liu Hao is not prepared to interfere with the decisions of He Yuzhu and Lou Xiaoe.

……

Just when Liu Hao started to prepare a new TV drama script, Jiashi was also studying a brand-new operation concept-separation of production and broadcasting.

"Tao Li Entertainment produces a TV show, and then we pay for it?"

Ye Jiexin was a little puzzled: "Will this make us under the control of others?"

"The problem doesn't exist."

Liu Tianci said with certainty: "It is true that Lou Dong is the founder of Taoli Entertainment, but he is also a major shareholder of Jiashi. There may be a difference in sequence, but in the final analysis, Taoli Entertainment and Jiashi are two in one. , he won’t cheat us. And I think this way of operating still makes sense.”

"A Sheng, what do you think?" Zhou Liang Shuyi looked at Xiao Sheng who had not expressed any opinion.

Xiao Sheng smiled: "I think this kind of operating concept is very good. It's a kind of reform. Fortunately, Taoli Entertainment has a constant relationship with Jiashi."

He raised his palm: "Have you ever imagined what it would be like if five fingers were the same length? This is like the current Jiashi, who wants to do everything and can do anything, but this discovery of Jiashi does not matter. There is no benefit ... or, in the beginning, there may be some use, but today, "

Xiao Sheng smiled again: "If Jiashi wants to develop, it needs to carry out a big slimming and cut off those bloated fat. We can save a lot of cost by entrusting the production of TV dramas to outsiders. To give another example, We filmed a TV series ourselves. If the filming is not good or the ratings are too low, in order not to throw the funds into the water, we have to grit our teeth and show the series. After spending a lot of money, we still pull the TV series. The ratings are low. But if we adopt the operation method of separating production and broadcasting, we have the right to review when purchasing. If the other party does not meet our requirements, we can completely refuse to buy and refuse to pay. This is a brand new operation way, we can cross the river by feeling the stones and improving it bit by bit.”

The news passed by Liu Hao through Lou Xiaowei caused an uproar among the top management of Jiashi. The reason why Lou Xiaowei directly threw out this concept was to let Zhou Liangshuyi and other front-line personnel with rich practical work experience discuss its feasibility first. After the results are obtained, they will be discussed at the general meeting of shareholders.

After discussing what kind of troubles and benefits this operating concept would bring to the TV station, the executives fell into a cycle of questions... Should they agree to it?

"I think this matter can be considered initially, and it should be done in a cooperative manner first. I will publicize the results of our meeting." Zhou Liangshuyi said calmly.
