Chapter 467 Interested? (44)

"The Adventures of Xing'an Mountains" wasn't a particularly outstanding program...

"The Annual Comedy Competition" and "The Night of Delight" have produced many outstanding programs. Just from the first season alone, there are programs like "Father's Funeral," "The Last Lesson," "Where Has the Time Gone," and "The Winning Strike"...

"The Adventures of Xinganling" is the second season, so it doesn't really count.

But Shen Yan actually quite liked it…

It has a childlike charm!
Comedy shows at this stage are actually not very valuable.

It seems that the trend of comedic shows ending with a morally charged conclusion originated with Happy Twist...

Shen Teng's performance wasn't as intense yet; he still had songs like "Bounty Hunter" and "My Road," especially "My Road," which involved singing with a circular breathing technique...

As an aside, many people think that sketches, being comedies, just need to be funny...

However, there are certain requirements for the programs broadcast by television stations!

There are too many burdens we can't reveal!
Before "Happy Comedians 3", there was a large-scale comedy program called "Comedy General Mobilization", in which many sketches were severely criticized and characterized as "shallow laughter and low taste".

The first episode of the third season, titled "Hello! Robbery," features two robbers. This kind of plot is not conducive to a harmonious society, so the ending of the skit must show the robbers being subdued to promote correct social values.

Then, right after the first episode was recorded, the State Administration of Radio and Television called for "no cheap laughter and no falsification of historical classics."

This call to action was met with widespread lamentation; all the adapted scripts prepared in advance by the five comedy groups had become useless…

Of course, you could also say they're not very good!

Oh, in the first episode, "The Adventures of Xing'an Mountains" came in third place...

Shen Yan was quite annoyed, but he didn't say anything.

After all, this show... doesn't really have any behind-the-scenes manipulation yet!

It all depends on the audience vote.

Happy Twist's "Tropical Thunder" came in second place, while the first place, of course, went to Liaoning Folk Art Troupe's "I Am an Actor: Idol Group"...

Oh, and lastly, it's Bai Mei Studio. Their shows... they're so embarrassing to watch!

A man dressed as a woman to make a fool of himself and gain laughter!

Their performances conveyed the message, "Look how hard I'm working; look how I'm humiliating myself!"

Then, during the interview, he acted like he knew everything about comedy, and that people didn't like it because they didn't understand it...

Oh, in the backstage interview, Shen Yan directly said, "I was drawn by lot and ended up with Qiao Shan and the others... getting third place, to be honest, I'm quite dissatisfied!"

"I think 'The Legend of Xing'an Mountains' is the most interesting... I wrote the script myself!"

'But this is a viewer vote, so third place is fine!'

"The goal of 'Comedy General Mobilization' is to recommend a group of comedians...whether it's making movies, TV series, or even just skits, we need new comedians...we originally planned to call it 'I Am a Comedian,' but we felt that name was a bit too grandiose..."

'We hope the audience likes it... and we also hope the team that rejected us before will seriously consider filling in... We're serious about being funny!'

After reciting the slogan of "Comedy General Mobilization", Shen Yan's recording session was over!

……

Given Shen Yan's popularity and status, it's best for him not to participate in variety shows like "Comedy General Mobilization".

He's not a professional comedian.

But this is the sponsor's requirement...

Oh, "Comedy General Mobilization," the company founded by Shen Yan and Xia Chen'an, directly participated in the investment and production...

It accounted for 40% of the investment!

For the sake of company performance, Shen Yan should also participate…

Moreover, the title sponsor also made demands…

After Shen Yan, each episode will invite heavyweight guests to join in…

This can be considered a way to attract viewers. After this episode is filmed, "Go! Boys!" will be released online…

By the way, "With You" has already aired, with an average rating of 1.2, which isn't particularly high, but it's already Zhejiang TV's second highest-rated drama this year, second only to "My Love from the Star".

However, the online viewership of "With You" reached a staggering 18 billion!
Currently, its online viewership is second only to "My Love from the Star" and "Swordsman"...

Ranked third for the year!

Even "Legend of Lu Zhen" didn't have as high online viewership as "With You"...

Then, for the second installment of the Zhenhua Trilogy, "Hello, Old Times," iQiyi directly offered 220 million yuan per episode for exclusive rights.

Yes, 25 episodes, not even filmed yet, and they've already made half the profit from the online rights!
……

Since he was in Hangzhou, Shen Yan naturally had to have a meal with his sister…

My younger sister is 24 this year, which is the age for her to start dating!

A while ago, my second aunt asked Shen Yan to urge his younger sister...

So Shen Yan said, "You can find whoever you want, I only have one request: don't hire male actors, male actors are generally dumber..."

"Huh? Is it stupid?"

"Think about the college entrance exam scores of art students... they generally score less than 300 points. How smart can they be?"

Shen Li said, "...A young actor showed interest in me!"

Shen Yan immediately felt annoyed: "Are you trying to take a shortcut...who is it?"

“Then I can’t tell you…” Shen Li shook her head decisively: “You can’t ruin someone’s life just because they’re being nice to you!”

"…Fine."

Shen Yan changed the subject: "Have you bought a house yet?"

"Okay, I've bought it... Do you want to go take a look?"

"I don't have time, I have to go to Xiangshan later..."

Shen Li asked curiously, "Aren't you going on tour?"

"...I'm just going to check on the set setup...it'll probably be another three months before filming officially starts!"

"So, the preparation period will be at least one year?"

Shen Yan calculated the time: "More than that, at least a year and a half..."

"...Hey, bro, can I ask you a question?"

"Say it!"

Why do you make science fiction films?

"I'm interested... I'm not short of money. I'll try things that no one else dares to do. That's called a challenge!"

"Is it really a cost of 500 million?"

"Not that much... about 4 million will be enough!"

"so tall?"

"Sci-fi movies... are quite expensive, with set construction, equipment rental, and special effects costs... We're considered cheap. The main expenses are set construction and equipment... The special effects cost only $1000 million... less than $1 million!"

"Is the equipment very expensive?"

"What do you think? The collaboration between the visual effects department and the cinematography department includes the installation and use of virtual and real shooting equipment, shooting visual effects-related materials and references. At the same time, it involves coordinating with the editing, DIT, and 3D scanning departments... These things are only available in Hollywood. We rented them for six months, and 20 million was gone!"

Will I be able to break even?

"I think we should be able to tie... The most important thing is to gain experience and train the team!"
