This era is the era of traffic. Many people have no bottom line and choose to do something eye-catching for the sake of popularity.
But Chen Ming is a layman, and he definitely prefers to hear others praise him.
This left him with a huge problem.
Choosing a gray ending would make the audience dissatisfied, but he himself felt very comfortable;
Choosing a happy ending made the audience happy, but Chen Ming felt unhappy.
For this ending,
Chen Ming thought for several days but still couldn't think of a solution.
actually,
Chen Ming came to the studio today because he wanted to discuss this matter with Xu Manke and listen to her opinion.
In Chen Ming’s eyes,
Xu Manke is not a photography tool.
In many aspects, Chen Ming needed to consult Xu Manke.
It is no exaggeration to say that some of Xu Manke's opinions played a very important role in Chen Ming's script conception.
"Sister Manke, I have prepared two endings here."
"The first is that the male protagonist uses a clever layout to prevent the police from finding evidence of his murder, thereby removing suspicion and living the same life as before."
"The second type is when the male protagonist realizes his conscience and takes the initiative to surrender."
"Which ending do you think is better?"
Chen Ming asked softly.
Xu Manke lowered her head and pondered. She didn't expect that Chen Ming actually thought of two endings.
After thinking carefully for a moment, Xu Manke raised his head: "I personally prefer the first option, because the gray ending is also a reflection of "The Tuner", and this kind of open ending is conducive to filming the second part.
"
"There is something I wanted to discuss with you before. The ending of "The Tuner" is very suitable for a second part. It's just that you don't seem to have the idea of continuing to make a second part."
Chen Ming was slightly stunned.
He also wants to make a second part!
But the problem is,
There is no second part of "The Tuner"...
Although Chen Ming can come up with the plot of the second part by himself, there is no guarantee that the second part will be as exciting as the first.
Since ancient times, there has been a law.
The second part is not as good as the first!
In this case, Chen Ming has no interest in the second part of "The Tuner".
He believes that his ability as a screenwriter is limited, and it is better to do less of such thankless tasks.
Chen Ming said perfunctorily: "I have not conceived the second part of "The Tuner". I think this open ending is quite good. Let the audience figure out the second part."
Immediately, Chen Ming brought the topic back to "Manslaughter": "Sister Manke, you also like the first ending, then we will finalize the ending to this."
Hearing the words,
Xu Manke shook his head.
Obviously,
Chen Ming did not fully understand what Xu Manke meant. Xu Manke's words just meant to state his own point of view.
"As I said just now, this is just my personal opinion and cannot represent the public's likes."
"The current entertainment environment in China tends to be harmonious and stable, so the endings of movies and TV series on the market are basically happy endings."
"This shows that the public's preference is different from our personal views."
For a moment, Chen Ming frowned.
this........
If Xu Manke couldn't make up his mind, who else could Chen Ming ask for advice?
Xu Manke looked at Chen Ming's frown and couldn't help but laugh: "I found that sometimes you don't know how to adapt. In fact, there is a very simple way to solve this problem."
Chen Ming's sadness disappeared and he looked at Xu Manke curiously.
Xu Manke picked up his mobile phone and tapped the screen with his delicate hands: "We can hold a large-scale voting on Huabo and let fans choose."
yes!
Chen Ming suddenly realized.
As someone who doesn't visit Huabo very often, he always forgets such important software.
You can hold a voting lottery on Huabo!
In this way,
Not only can it give "Manslaughter" a residual publicity in advance, but it can also clearly understand the public's likes and determine the direction of the ending.
The cost is negligible.
Generally speaking, this kind of voting lottery gives away gifts surrounding movies and TV series, or actors' signatures, clothes, etc.
Small cost, big return!
Chen Ming couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. He did sometimes ignore many things.
It has to be Sister Manke!
"How does voting work specifically?" Chen Ming asked enthusiastically.
In his previous life, when he was on Earth, he often saw some celebrities on Weibo teaming up with some advertising brands to conduct voting linkages, which could quickly increase their popularity.
A hint of wisdom flashed in Xu Manke's eyes.
"Let Huabo post this voting on the official blog account of "Old Nine Gates". There is no big taboo about the specific voting content. The only thing is that the title of the film should not appear. This is a suspense and should be left until the end to be revealed.
"
"The content page of the options should not be too detailed, just briefly mention it. For example, option one: Brother Chen's classic, gray ending; option two: no extravagant work, a perfect ending."
"Of course, if you have a confirmed participant in mind, you can ask them to forward this vote to Huabo. Although their number of fans on Huabo may not be very high, they at least have some popularity."
Currently, Xu Man can only think of so much.
Chen Ming's eyes became brighter and brighter.
It is really easy to leave this matter to Xu Manke.
More importantly,
Who said that the actors and actresses don’t have many fans on Huabo?!
Sun Qingxuan has made it clear that she wants to participate in Chen Ming's next movie, which is a huge traffic representative.
for a time,
Chen Ming began to ask and answer questions in his mind.
Is it too much to ask Sun Qingxuan to repost Huabo?
Not too much!
Well, that's it.
However, Chen Ming has not told Xu Manke about Sun Qingxuan's participation in the film. After all, Chen Ming is not entirely sure whether Sun Qingxuan has time to participate.
The filming of "The Sweet Snow" has reached a deadlock.
One martial arts scene slowed down the overall progress of the drama.
Sun Qingxuan, as the lead actor in this TV series, is also quite helpless.
This kind of stuck recording process is the most irritating thing. It's like you are halfway through writing a song and your inspiration is gone...
However, Chen Ming didn't know much about the situation there. He wouldn't find out the specific arrangements until he contacted Sun Qingxuan later.
After talking about voting,
Xu Manke changed the subject: "How long do you plan to take to film "Manslaughter"?"
"Half a month." Chen Ming replied.
Time is so short?
Xu Manke was a little surprised.
The filming of "The Tuner" only took one week. The main reason was because there was no money, so we had to keep catching up with the schedule, which made everyone very tired.
But Chen Ming should not be short of money now, why is he still in such a hurry?
In fact,
Chen Ming is still short of money.
Because the renovation of the orphanage has started for several days, various construction teams entered the Xingfu Orphanage with great fanfare, and various renovation materials also needed to be purchased.
Plus,
Chen Ming didn't have enough money to pay for the temporary accommodation of the children in the orphanage, the hospitalization expenses of the old director, etc.
What troubles Chen Ming the most is how much should Sun Qingxuan be paid?
If you give too much, you can’t afford it yourself;
I feel bad for not being given enough.
After various considerations,
Chen Ming wants to film "Manslaughter" within half a month and give it half a month of editing time so that it can be released in June.
