This Emperor is Only An Actor

"Captain of the Dragon Kingdom" has not been released yet.

However, the box office has already made a lot of money, and Yue Guan no longer cares.

He is still very busy, especially during the Chinese New Year period.

Many things were piled up to the end of the year, and he still couldn't avoid it and had to deal with it himself.

"Actually, I just choose a few for you. You don't need to choose them yourself." Mo Xiangwan suggested.

She felt that Yueguan was too hard.

In addition to propagating the second run of "Fengshen", Yueguan spent the rest of the time in the drama.

And it's with a mission to play the drama.

Because it's time for him to award the best screenplay award again.

Yue Guan should try his best to ensure that the screenwriters who won this year's award are objective and fair, and don't have any legacy.

This puts high demands on his personal reading volume.

When you take a task to do something, you basically don't feel fun.

It's okay to see some interesting scenes.

If you encounter a scene that you are not interested in, but it happens to be good, it is really torture.

However, Yue Guan did not use this job as a fake.

"I'll do it myself. Anyway, I'll spend 50 million. If I don't choose five that I really like, I'm sorry for the money I made with my hard work." Yue Guan said.

Mo Xiangwan: "The previous words are fine. As for your hard work to make money... Why didn't I feel it?"

Yueguan's hardest estimate is filming.

But filming is the least profitable part of Yueguan.

Yueguan basically stocks the big money-making heads.

In this regard, Yue Guan had something to say: "Sister Xiang Wan, you don't understand, my efforts are in places you can't see. You look at me very relaxed, in fact, I am walking forward with a heavy load."

Mo Xiangwan blinked and quickly began to do reading comprehension: "Did you let Li Fuzhen brush the steel ball?"

Yue Guan: "...You are really a little genius doing reading comprehension."

...

After all, Yue Guan chose all the five final places this year.

The annual awards for screenwriters in the industry, at least in the screenwriting circle, the gold content of the Yueguan award exceeds the Golden Dragon Award for the best screenwriter.

After all, Yueguan gave an extra 10 million.

No matter how official the Golden Dragon Award is, it is a reputation, and the increase in value is far less immediate than that of Yueguan.

Besides, it is also a huge honor to be able to win the Yue Guan Screenwriting Award.

This year, Yueguan hadn't started awarding awards, and the circle began to build momentum.

#Which five plays this year's screenwriters can get Yueguan's screenwriting award#

This question not only made it into the hot search on Weibo, but also made it to the hot list.

Many netizens are discussing with great interest, and there is already a taste of national carnival.

In this regard, Yue Guan was still a little surprised.

"Why is it so troublesome? I remember that I have been very low-key for this award, and I haven't publicized it much." Yue Guan said.

The screenwriter award not only means commendation, in fact, it is more about doing charity to help these screenwriters get rich. However, Yue Guan is generally not high-profile when doing charitable things.

It's a bit off-flavored when it's high-profile, it's not necessary.

But this time things are very high-profile.

Mo Xiangwan explained: "It's not our side that created the momentum, or the netizens spontaneously stir up the atmosphere."

"what's the situation?"

"This year is your third year in a row. In three years, 150 million, you have been unremittingly outputting good works for the entertainment industry and outputting good screenwriters. This kind of thing is too rare in the entertainment industry, so the matter itself It is worthy of a big book and special book. Netizens are not unwilling. Coupled with the help of the screenwriters, the popularity will rise."

"Does the screenwriter contribute to the flames?" Yue Guan asked.

Mo Xiangwan nodded: "Yes, many well-known screenwriters have actively participated in the end, including predictions and expectations, and of course, I also praise you. Your current status in the screenwriting circle is simply not comparable to others."

This is quite normal.

The improvement of the status of screenwriters in the industry is said to have been planned by Yue Guan firsthand. In addition, he has spent 100 million yuan in real money to reward those excellent screenwriters for two consecutive years. Yue Guan's reputation is not high.

Even the screenwriters who didn't get the Yue Guan reward were full of praise for Yue Guan, after all, there was hope behind them.

And all screenwriters who have confidence in themselves hope that Yue Guan can stick to this award.

So they are very careful to promote and praise Yueguan. If it weren't for the screenwriter's small size and low popularity, this matter would be even more popular.

After thinking about this, Yue Guan also nodded: "It's not our own promotion. As for the screenwriters to speak for us, it is their freedom, and we don't have to stop it."

After all, he did nothing wrong.

Of course not to deliberately suppress their own heat.

"This is the list of this year's awards. Sister Xiang Wan, please send it for me. The old rule is to invite all these screenwriters to Dragon City. I will treat them to dinner and give them the check on the spot."

Good stories are always scarce resources.

Yueguan needs excellent stories, so it also needs such excellent talents who can create excellent stories.

This is why he insists on holding this award every year.

Yue Guan has never forgotten his roots in the entertainment industry.

Compared with making friends with other entertainment company bosses, in Yue Care, these screenwriters are more useful to him.

Mo Xiangwan took the list that Yue Guan handed him, and looked at it with Li Ruotong.

Yue Guan insisted on holding this screenwriting award for three consecutive years. Not only netizens are looking forward to it, but they are also looking forward to it.

Maybe you can find some fine products.

Seeing the first winning name, Li Ruotong's eyes lit up.

"What movie is "Heart Labyrinth"? I haven't heard of it."

Never heard of it.

The Pearl from the Canghai Sea brings even greater surprises.

Mo Xiangwan had heard of it, but she was not too impressed.

After reminiscing for a while, Mo Xiangwan hesitated and said: "It should be a suspenseful crime movie. I remember that the word-of-mouth was very good, but the box office was very poor. It didn't cause any waves, so I didn't watch it in the end."

After all, Mo Xiangwan's work is still very busy on weekdays, much busier than Yue Guan and Li Ruotong.

"Yueguan, this movie was made particularly well?" Mo Xiangwan was a little surprised.

Yue Guan nodded, and then shook his head again: "The filming is actually average, but the script is well written, and the overall structure is very clever. Nolan's style, Cohen's structure, and local narrative are a combination of the three. Very good, it should be the best film this year."

That's why Yue Guan put this movie first.

Hearing Yue Guan’s high evaluation, Mo Xiangwan was surprised: “How can such a good movie have such a small influence? I remember it should be a poor box office.”

"It's really bad, and it's not surprising. If a movie wants to get a high box office, it's never a good quality." Yue Guan's tone was calm.

In the entertainment industry, relying on strength to beat the world is unrealistic.

Strength is used to increase the upper limit.

But the lower limit cannot be guaranteed at all.

No matter how powerful you are, you will not let the audience see it.

Therefore, Yueguan chose to dormant for three years to accumulate enough capital before coming out.

If the movie "Heart Labyrinth" is made by him, the plot does not need to be changed at all, and the box office will start at least 100 million yuan.

But "Heart Labyrinth" itself now has a box office of less than 10 million.

The capital is miserable.

But this is the fact.

Without celebrities, there will be no filming without announcements.

No matter how good the quality is, it is useless during the screening period.

Of course, it is still possible to accumulate prestige. After the screening, through word-of-mouth fermentation, the influence will eventually gradually expand.

As it is now.

This movie was discovered by Yue Guan.

He is going to reward 50 million screenwriters for this film.

Five times higher than the box office of "Heart Labyrinth".

"The three screenwriters of this film can focus on. The box office of "Heart Labyrinth" does not reflect their talents. They can clearly explain the multi-line narrative structure. The past, the present and the future are mixed, and the multi-person perspectives overlap and overlap. Putting together a perfect connection, few people in the entertainment industry can do it. "Heart Labyrinth" is actually a dazzling work that brings out an originally simple story." Yue Guan said.

Mo Xiangwan frowned: "If you show off your skills, it's actually not friendly to the audience? This can easily increase the difficulty of the audience."

"It's true, but a story that is too simple, there is no star lineup and hot scenes, it is waiting to hit the street. The maximum use of limited resources, for a very poor crew, show off skills In fact, it is the only choice. Newcomers need to show off their skills. They have to show their abilities. When their status is reached, the audience will not feel that they are incapable when playing back to the basics."

After hearing Yue Guan's analysis, Mo Xiangwan nodded and wrote down the three screenwriters of "Heart Labyrinth".

"Xin Yukun, Feng Yuanliang, Lu Nifan, is Xin Yukun still the director of "Heart Labyrinth"?" Mo Xiangwan asked.

Yue Guan nodded: "Yes."

Mo Xiangwan thoughtfully: "It seems to be a rare talent. We can pick one of our company's plays next year to contact him."

Miracle Company has no shortage of scripts. The first choice for screenwriters is Miracle Company.

But Miracle Company did not sign a director or an actor.

This makes Miracle Company actually make a lot less money, after all, the asking price of its own people must be cheap.

But this also makes Miracle Company very popular in the industry.

Because a company that is only responsible for providing content production leaves a lot of benefits to others, it will naturally get the support of many people.

Money can't be earned. With these high-quality content, Miracle Company has actually accumulated a lot of contacts.

And will continue to accumulate.

Yue Guan didn't stop Mo Xiangwan's plan. He generally didn't intervene in the company's operation. Mo Xiangwan was more professional than him in this regard.

Li Ruotong didn't care about the company's operations, so she continued to watch.

"Master, I've seen this movie. Liao Fan and Xiao Song's family played, right?" Li Ruotong was a little surprised.

It seems that the aesthetic visions of myself and Yue Guan still overlap very much.

The industry says that Yue Guan has a good vision.

The same is true, and I have a good vision.

Yue Guan didn't know that Li Ruotong was thinking about this, but he just nodded and said, "Yes, that one. I think it was done well. It should be the best one in this year's martial arts movie."

"Master" actually talks about national martial arts.

It's a bit similar to "The Second Biography of the Palace" ("The Grand Master").

However, Yue Guan prefers "Master".

The levels of the two are similar, which is considered Yue Guan's personal preference. Anyway, it is him who pays the money, and no one else will give any comments.

Moreover, the reputation of "Master" is indeed very good, even Li Ruotong is also applauded.

This also shows from the side that the box office of the movie "Master" is definitely not very good...

really……

Mo Xiangwan said: "The reputation of "Master" is better than that of "Heart Maze", but it hasn't exploded. Yueguan, you are helping the poor."

"Without poverty alleviation, I only choose whether I like it or not. If I like "Master", I will give it a place. There is no other reason."

This version of "Master" is just a change of background. After all, the history of this world is different, but the taste is still the same.

Li Ruotong praised Yue Guan: "I like this movie too, Yue Guan, you still have a good eye."

Mo Xiangwan stabbed silently: "It's a pity, if you don't like it, if you don't like Tong, maybe the box office of the movie "Master" can be higher.

Li Ruotong: "...Mo Xiangwan, our friendship is up to today."

Mo Xiangwan smiled and brought the topic back naturally: "The movie "Scorching Sun" should be the most uncontroversial finalist. I went to the cinema to watch this movie. It was really shocking, especially Deng Chao and Duan Yihong, I feel that they can take this year's actor."

"The actor...this depends on luck. Of course, I also think they have this strength." Yue Guan said.

Deng Chao's dedication in "The Scorching Sun" is absolutely textbook-level acting.

Has basically reached his peak.

It is absolutely qualified to take the actor.

Duan Yihong is even more powerful. He played a supporting role in the drama "The Scorching Sun", and he played a role that is actually flat in the script-a policeman who seeks justice.

For this kind of role to Yue Guan, he will probably not play any flower.

However, Duan Yihong relied on his acting skills to almost crush the protagonist, and acted as one of the main characters of the show.

This is the real strength faction.

Of course, the script of this play is also good, but the most successful part of this play is that the director and actors are too good to improve the quality of the whole play.

Nevertheless, Yue Guan still gave the screenwriter of this play an award-winning place.

In the words of Mo Xiangwan, this drama will definitely not be controversial.

But when they saw the fourth play, Mo Xiangwan and Li Ruotong were both surprised.

""Mourning"? What movie is this? Xiang Wan, do you know?"

Li Ruotong said he hadn't read it.

Mo Xiangwan frowned, "I'm a little bit impressed. It's a movie from Korea, right? It's about their ancestral history?"

Yue Guan nodded: "Yes."

"Yueguan, you read a lot of movies." Mo Xiangwan admired: "I am not interested in the history of the place so much."

So she never saw it.

Just a little bit of impression, this drama has a good reputation.

However, most of the audience in Central Plains, like her, is not much interested in the history of Kimchi ancestors.

Therefore, the box office of this drama is very common in Central Plains, but within the province of Korea, the popularity of this drama is good, and its reputation is also very good.

Yue Guan shook his head: "Actually, I don't have much interest. However, we don't have any historical movies that can be taken in Central Plains this year. After all, family members, they made better shots, so I can't deliberately choose not. they."

The historical film of Central Plains, Yueguan feels dying.

It's been too long.

More than a decade ago, when we mentioned historical blockbusters, everyone thought of big investment and big production stars.

Now, when thinking of historical blockbusters, everyone thinks of "The City is Full of Big Sisters", "Reading as a Night Banquet is Really Thunderstorm", "The Promise that can only be understood after a few years after a **** incident triggered by a steamed bun"...

A group of big directors broke this classification.

It also emptied the audience's expectations in advance.

It takes more than ten years to restore the blood tank.

So even for the box office of "Shadow", Yue Guan is not very optimistic.

It's still possible to pay back, but it's too difficult.

The audience now has lost their expectations for domestic historical blockbusters.

This is also the reason why Yueguan rarely plays the emperor in historical blockbusters, but instead wants to make TV series.

If you really want to make a historical blockbuster, even with his popularity, I am afraid it will be difficult to raise the ceiling of such movies.

Obviously, it is better to sublimate the value of force, making fairy-xia myth movies more promising.

In fact, even filming historical TV dramas is a bit uneconomical now.

Because if you are filming modern urban dramas, you can share a lot of costs just by advertising.

But shooting historical dramas is equivalent to nothing.

From the point of view of interest, this is too uneconomical. It is still the easiest to make money in modern urban dramas.

But who told Yueguan to rely on acting as the emperor to be the emperor.

Even if he knows that the cost of filming historical dramas is higher, he will do more.

Fortunately, Yueguan has not suffered a loss yet, so now Yueguan is qualified to be self-willed and shoot whatever he wants.

""Heart Labyrinth", "Master", "Scorching Sun", "Mourning", the four award-winning films this year." Mo Xiangwan summed up: "There are basically no commercial blockbusters. You are still helping the poor at Yueguan."

"For commercial blockbusters, the importance of scripts should be reduced. It's not that I deliberately refused to give commercial blockbusters. It is true that the plots of commercial blockbusters are somewhat different from these relatively niche subjects. Of course, commercial blockbusters will Make up for it in other ways. If you let me choose to watch, I actually prefer to watch commercial blockbusters."

Yue Guan is essentially a layman, with few literary and artistic cells. Compared with looking at the connotation, he pays more attention to the stimulation.

However, since it is awards, watching movies is not a standard.

It cannot be denied that good commercial blockbusters rarely win by plot.

It is enough that there is no poison in the plot.

Commercial blockbusters have too many other bonus points.

On the contrary, it is this kind of niche subject, the importance of the plot accounts for 80%, so the requirements for the script are often higher.

In terms of script alone, these scripts are indeed clearly better than those of commercial blockbusters.

Li Ruotong saw the only award-winning TV series at this time, and then chuckled: "Yueguan not only helps the poor in movies, but also in TV series. Last year, the TV series was given to "Soul Ferry", and this year the TV series was given to " Wuxin Mage."

""Wuxin Master"? That fantasy web drama?" Mo Xiangwan quickly recalled: "This drama does not seem to be invested by our company."

"Sister Xiang Wan, to be precise, none of the five award-winning plays this year was invested by our company." Yue Guan said indifferently: "But this is not a big problem. There are many good scripts, and our company does not. It may be all occupied."

And to put it bluntly, the performance of these five plays is far from that of Miracle Company. Miracle Company has no need to stop making more profitable movies. Instead, it will shoot movies that do not make money but have a good reputation.

Mo Xiangwan was right to think about it.

Yueguan's preferences do not represent the preferences of the market.

Besides, Yue Guan also said that the five plays he selected do not actually represent his five favorite plays this year.

I really let Yue Guan choose. His favorite play this year is definitely "The Richest Man in Xihong City". After all, he shot it himself, and he must give it his own platform.

But choosing oneself by oneself is no different from turning left and right hands, Yue Guan certainly can't do such a thing.

"I remember the results of "Wuxin Master" is pretty good." Mo Xiangwan said.

Yue Guan smiled: "To be precise, the popularity is not bad, and the results are average. This drama was shown on Sohu Video, and Sohu Video did not fight piracy in order to expand its brand influence... The money made on this show is actually very small."

Many Internet developers think that influence is more important than the money they have, so except for five-star videos ~www.NovelMTL.com~ other video sites have not seriously piracy, and many dramas are also free to play, or use the advertising sharing model .

While they are still exploring this free model, Five-Star Video has turned losses into profits for several years.

However, no video site has imitated five-star video.

It may be that they are not optimistic about the future of the five-star video subscription model.

It may also be because they know in their minds that without enough high-quality content as a supplement, paying users cannot be retained, and instead they have lost their core competitiveness in competition with Five-Star Video.

Yue Guan didn't know which factor was more important.

Anyway, five-star video is getting more profit every year, which is enough for him.

"Sister Xiang Wan, let's announce the winners of these five plays, and then I will wait at home for these screenwriters to come."

He had already prepared the money.

For Yueguan now, money is really just a number. He does nothing every day, but his net worth is still rising rapidly.

It is true that the rich will become richer and richer. Yue Guan experienced this sentence firsthand.

As expected by Yueguan, when Mo Xiangwan announced this year's list of winners, it caused quite a stir in the entertainment industry.

"I only guessed one "Scorching Sun"."

"Your Majesty really has a good eye, "Heart Labyrinth" is really good-looking, I force it."

"It turns out that your Majesty is also chasing "Wuxin Mage". I beg your Majesty to please the two young ladies, Jin Chen and Chen Yao. I like them so much."

Yue Guan brushed this comment, and then replied: "Classmates please respect yourself, I am not a casual person."
