Chapter 169: Can \\"Magic Phone\\" Become The Next Cctv Hit? Bet With Huang Zhenqi (3, Ple
As a post-1995 generation, I am certainly no stranger to this science fiction-themed TV series that was broadcast on CCTV when I was a child.
The plot of this film and television drama is also quite interesting, with some fantasy colors and several characters from Journey to the West.
It tells the story of "Sha Niu", a smartphone invented by humans in 2060 that can travel through multi-dimensional space, and traveled back to the Tang Dynasty during experiments.
Help Sun Wukong subdue the Yellow Eyebrow King. When he ran out of energy and was urgently recalled by scientists, he was attacked by the Yellow Eyebrow King.
Scientists mistakenly typed "2060" as "2006", causing Sha Niu to have an accident in the space-time tunnel.
Eventually it fell into the hands of urban young man Lu Xiaoqian, which triggered a story of time and space wars between the future and ancient times, the present and the future, and justice and evil.
In this story, the big IP of Journey to the West is introduced into modern times for the first time.
Some familiar characters from Journey to the West enter the modern era and collide with modern characters.
This ideological structure was still very advanced for the time, and for many viewers.
The first time I saw this drama, I was deeply attracted by the setting of this drama.
It felt very fresh, the ratings reached a new high, and it was named the hit of the year.
And the most outstanding thing about "Magic Phone" is of course the "silly girl" setting of the heroine.
As a mobile phone from the 2060s, this is a multifunctional and anthropomorphic mobile phone.
It was also at that time that there was a wave of ideological frenzy, and many people were thinking about it.
What will mobile phones look like in the next few decades?
Will it really be a mobile phone that can be humanized as imagined in this drama?
Sha Niu’s personality can also be switched between different personalities.
Her emotional entanglement with the protagonist Lu Xiaoqian is also a highlight of this drama.
Especially in the end, Sha Niu sacrificed herself in order to save Lu Xiaoqian, this tragic love story.
The ending of this BE also made many people cry.
When Wang Cong saw the finale, he was a little upset. He felt that Sha Niu's departure was too sad.
I heard that the director later had the idea of making a second part, which was to resurrect the silly girl.
I want to make another round of money based on the popularity of the first film.
But to be honest, the second part is much worse than the first part in terms of plot and other aspects.
In other words, the first part of "Magic Phone" has become the pinnacle in a sense.
Any subsequent creation will undoubtedly be a continuation of the past, and the audience will not buy it.
The first part of this kind of series is a big hit, but each subsequent creation is worse than the last. There are many examples in the entire film and television industry.
For example, the most classic example is a comedy film and television drama that everyone is familiar with, "Country Love".
This film and television drama series features the king of comedy, Zhao Benshan, Uncle Zhao.
With his professional team, he created a humorous life drama about rural themes.
When the first part of "Country Love" came out, it really attracted a lot of people's attention.
After all, with Zhao Benshan's popularity and the support of his apprentices, this drama once became a national hit.
The ratings of the first part also reached a relatively high peak, and then the IP was constantly being explored.
The second and third parts are actually okay. Although they are not as eye-catching as the first part, they are still remarkable.
In terms of ratings, it is still a relatively passable data.
Then the fourth part, the fifth part, and the following six or seventy-eight parts.
It's really a bit like the old lady's foot-binding cloth. The smellier and longer it gets. It's a waste of money.
Many of the plots in the subsequent films are quite involved and have little logic.
To put it bluntly, it disgusts the audience and forces this big IP to continue.
However, the framework and characters have deviated from the original intention of this IP.
So for Wang Cong, just one "Magic Phone" is enough.
It does not mean that it must be a happy ending to be perfect. On the contrary, tragedy is more resonant and is the true meaning of life.
Huang Zhenqi was stunned again when he saw Wang Cong's huge reaction.
This is different from Wang Cong's previous low-key and reserved personality. Those who didn't know thought Wang Cong was possessed by something.
After a while, Wang Cong may have realized his gaffe and calmed down again.
"Ahem, it's okay. I just feel that the script and theme of "Magic Phone" are brilliant, so I decided to invest."
When I heard that Wang Cong actually wanted to invest in this "Magic Phone" again, I spoke again.
"Chairman, the theme of this "Magic Phone" is even more niche. The science fiction theme seems to be a desert in domestic film and television dramas."
"Chairman, although we have plenty of money, we still have to be cautious."
Wang Cong shook his head and did not directly respond to Huang Zhenqi's words. Instead, he took a sip of tea and then spoke.
"By the way, Lao Huang, "Latent" should be over soon, right?"
"Yes, Chairman, the finale will be next weekend, and the ratings are still stable above 2.8%.
"A few days ago, some leaders at CCTV communicated with me to see if our Yuanda Film and Television has any excellent script copyrights."
"I want to buy another movie and TV series from us that may be a hit, and then take over the class of "Insidious".'
"And the bid won't be low, at least 800,000 for 067 episodes, if the quality is better than latent.
It is estimated that the price will even reach more than one million. It can be said that the sincerity towards us is quite sufficient now.
But now, it seems that we don’t have any film and television drama scripts that can compete with "Insidious". "
Wang Cong nodded silently, knowing that CCTV had tasted the benefits of "Latent" and wanted to continue to cooperate with him.
"Old Huang, what you said earlier is good, but the last sentence is wrong. Who told you that we don't have a script comparable to "Latent" now?"
Huang Zhenqi looked shocked, touched his head, and thought for a long time.
I don’t know which script Wang Cong said is comparable to "Latent".
"Chairman, I don't know, so stop being so secretive and just tell me."
Huang Zhenqi was also very curious. His curiosity reached its peak at this moment, and he wanted Wang Cong to tell him quickly and reveal the answer.
"That film and television drama is "Magic Phone" in my hands, the next CCTV hit.
Huang Zhenqi: "???"
Confused, Huang Zhenqi was completely confused.
Will this niche film and television drama, which he himself despises and failed to pass the review by the review department, rival "Insidious" and become a hit for CCTV?!
Wang Cong seemed to have seen through Huang Zhenqi's mind and knew that forcing explanations was useless.
"Okay, Lao Huang, I'll make a bet with you."
