Chapter 1093 Actress Strategy

Chapter 1093 Actress Strategy

Nanyi stood outside the restaurant for a while, sorted out the clues in his mind, and then returned to the restaurant, and continued the previous topic about the media with Priyanka.

In the past few days, he was not only worrying about the candidate for the president of Labor Media, but also studying the history of the development of the TV industry in India.

In the past few decades, the television industry in India has developed very slowly. Since the first state-owned public television station DD1 was born in New Delhi with the aid of West Germany in 1959, it was not until 1972 that the television signal was expanded to the other two major television stations. The city of Mumbai and Amritsar, in 1975, the scope of cities that provide television services was expanded to 7.

Generally speaking, at that time, the TV penetration rate in India was very low, and there was only one TV station, and the TV programs broadcast were mainly news information and agricultural program reports.

In 1982, color TV entered the Indian market, especially when the TV station broadcast Gandhi's Independence Day speech live, which stimulated a rapid increase in color TV sales.

Of course, the most important reason is that some Indians finally have a little money in their pockets.

Also in that year, India's then Minister of Information and Broadcasting went to Mexico and inspected their most prestigious TV drama business by the way. After watching a local TV drama "Follow Me" filmed in 1975, inspiration When he returned home, he pulled people to create TV dramas in his own country.

[In the early days, the television industry in Mexico was very developed, and it was the big brother of developing countries in the field of television dramas. ]

In 1984, "We the People", which was inspired by this, was broadcast on DD1. This is also India's first Hindi TV series, which tells the daily life of a middle-class family.

However, it is a mythological drama of the same name adapted from "Ramayana" that really promotes the vigorous development of Indian TV dramas.

As we all know, India has two world-famous epic works, "Ramayana" and "Mahabharata", which not only record part of India's historical development, but are also masters of Indian mythology.

In India, where almost everyone has religious beliefs, even illiterate people are familiar with these myths and stories, and these stories naturally provide inexhaustible materials for all kinds of literary and artistic creators.

For example, the first movie "King Harishchandra" in Indian history was based on Indian mythology, and a movie based on "Ramayana" was also released in the 1920s.

Similarly, if you want to quickly start the trump card of TV dramas, adapting epics is also a shortcut. This will not only make it easier for everyone to watch, but also ensure the largest audience base.

In 1985, DDl aired a myth drama "Vikram O Betar", which started a wave of adaptations of mythological stories; but it was "Ramayana" that really caused a sensation two years later, and its pilot episode It was aired on Sunday morning, and it was unexpectedly popular.

In 1988, another TV series of the same name based on the epic work "Mahabharata" was also very successful. From 1988 to 1990, a total of 94 episodes were broadcast.

It is also these two mythological dramas adapted from epics that have driven the Indian TV drama industry a big step forward, and at the same time established the Indian mythological dramas, and even a certain style of Indian dramas after that.

First of all, no matter what the scene is, the setting of the whole drama must be gorgeous, such as "Ramayana", the production cost of an episode is about 100,000 rupees, which was considered a high price in the past few years. As for mythological dramas, because of the fictional background of the times, most of them are shot indoors in studios, so whether they are gorgeous or not depends on the budget.

Secondly, the plot is full of twists and turns, and the brain hole is extremely big, but there are always some plots that are too procrastinated. In the words of later generations, the plot is very watery.

This is intentionally done by the production company to take care of the mainstream audience of TV drama "housewives". In order to allow them to watch while doing housework, the director will slow down the pace of the story, thus forming a habit, especially like to use slow Shots and close-ups to convey character emotions.

Especially when major events happen in the performance, the director will definitely close up every face, including the people who eat melons, and then the camera will cut back and forth quickly, over and over again, never tired of it.

All in all, Indian TV dramas are only suitable for chasing dramas, not for renting video tapes and watching them quickly. If you watch too many at one time, you will only get one evaluation—garbage.

Another point is that the length of Indian TV dramas will be very long, especially the mythological dramas with a large volume. At least 50 episodes will come, and 100 episodes is normal operation. There is no need to make a fuss if there are thousands of episodes in the future.

Nanyi already has the idea to create a family soap opera in India, adopting the core of "Forrest Gump", starting from the 1960s or 1970s, looking at the historical development of India through generations of a family, by the way, Nanyi All the product advertisements sold in India are implanted, and repeated again and again, so that each brand is catchy. The first word that Milkman said was not "Mom", but a certain brand of Nan's.

This show started with 150 episodes, and as long as the number of viewers is decent, it will continue to be filmed, and it will continue to be broadcast year after year, and it doesn't matter if we send away a generation of viewers.

"Priyanka, go back to the office tomorrow, you have a chat with Kochhar, I hope you can contact Ekta Kapoor from Balaji Television and Film Company."

Ekta Kapoor, born in 1975, is a member of the Kapoor family. Her father is Gitanjo Kapoor (also translated as Jitendra), the star of "Caravan". Last year, with the support of Gitanjo , Ekta established the Balaji TV and Film Company. The second generation is not afraid of tigers. At the beginning, Ekta was full of confidence and produced two TV series as a producer, but the pilot episode was rejected.

But again and again, after two blows, Ekta became more pragmatic and made a small-budget thriller "Believe It or Not", which was a success, which gave her the motivation to continue. This year, she worked as a producer on "Our Five Sisters", which received a good response and is now being broadcast on ZeeTV.

"What's the purpose?" Priyanka asked.

"First invest in Balaji, and when the time is right in the future, turn it into a subsidiary of Labor Media."

Nanyi didn't want to have a president with too deep a background when Labor Media was first established, so he excluded people from the Kapoor family when screening candidates for president. In the end, he was worried about the subtle identity of the Nan family in India , and also worried that the labor media would fall into internal friction before it developed.

Of course, even without considering the background, his first choice is still Mansur Khan.

Priyanka heard the words and said: "The Kapoor family has great influence in the film and television industry, and it is not easy to annex their industry."

"It should not be said to be an annexation, but more precisely a strong alliance. Labor Media only focuses on the development of the TV field. In terms of movies, we only need to try a little bit, and when we encounter films with investment value, we don't need to get involved too deeply."

Priyanka nodded and said, "Would it be better to contact Ji Tanzhuo directly?"

"No, in the eyes of outsiders, the current Ekta is just a member of the Kapoor family and the daughter of Gitanjo. She should really want to prove her ability, change outsiders' perception of her, and make herself no longer Jitanjo. daughter, while Gitanjo is Erta's father."

As Nanyi said, he reached out and stroked Priyanka's face, "You were called Priyanka Sharma before, but now you are Priyanka Smith. I believe that you also want to prove that you are Priyanka. Card, no surname blessing is required."

"Yes, you are right." Priyanka gave Nanyi an affirmative answer.

"So..." Nanyi smiled, and withdrew his hand, "Come on, please, Labor Group can add a separate shareholder named Priyanka on the basis of the Sharma family."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome, this is what I should do." Nanyi shrugged.

After this chat, Priyanka temporarily shifted the focus of her work to the establishment of Labor Media, while Nanyi continued to nest in the Peacock Villa, looking at the Bollywood brought by Acha, the head of the intelligence team bat in India. Actor profile.

The main reason is to look at the photos. In his previous life, there were very few Bollywood actors who knew the names of Nanyi. A few well-known male actors could name them, but very few beautiful actresses knew their names. Can't figure out who is who.

Shah Rukh Khan, I am familiar with this one. He starred in "Winning the Heart" is currently in theaters. If you don't see the information from a family of performers, you can consider signing with Labor Media.

Kajol Deugan, the leading actress in "Wonderful Heart", looks prettier in the photos than in the movie, and already has a certain reputation, so she might consider poaching her, um...

Nanyi looked at the series of names of relatives in Kazhuoer's information, counting up three generations, the male producer and director, the female actress, three cousins ​​and one younger sister are also actors, this is another acting family ah.

Draw a circle on Kazhuoer's name, and write a question mark next to it, Nanyi then flipped through the information.

After reading all the information, Nanyi preliminarily screened out the list of actresses who are good-looking and good-looking, and have signing value: Madhuri Dixit, Jiuxi Chawla, Aishwarya Ray, Tinko Kanner, Manisha Koirala, Shilpa Shetty, Preity Zeta.

Nanyi liked watching Indian movies in his previous life, but he was not a fan of Indian movies, and he didn’t have a deep understanding of the Indian showbiz. The movies he could watch were selected by others (mainly subtitles). As long as he looked at the familiar actresses, he usually wouldn't be too bad.

It's just that he really can't compare the photos with the names of the movies. He can't do it. I don't know which grandson came up with the translation style. The names of Indian movies he can think of are Bollywood Killer and Three Idiots. Bollywood, Bollywood life and death, etc., Chinese translation back to Hindi, Indian industry insiders must be confused after watching it-forgive my lack of knowledge, I have never heard of this film.

After Priyanka came back from get off work, Nanyi handed over the list she had screened out to the other party for review, and asked her to do a screening from the perspective of an Indian TV viewer.

After all, Labor Media does not need to pay too much attention to the international influence of its artists. It only needs to focus on satisfying the preferences of Indian audiences. Maybe it will focus on training an actor to win international awards in the future, but the ultimate goal is still to please Indian audiences.

This is Nan Yi's idea from the Nan's standpoint, and it is out of the consideration of the heroine's plan. As for how the individual labor media should develop, that is something that the person in charge should consider. He will only pay attention to what will happen at the end of the year. He will not ask about the financial statements and future development space, and the specific affairs after the track.

Even during the current formation period, he will not participate in specific work. He only needs to sit in Mumbai and watch Kochhar and Priyanka carry out the work.

When Priyanka was reading the materials, Nan Yi went to his study on the second floor, called up the materials in Nepal on the computer, and read them.

Among the actresses he selected, the profile of Manisha Koirala is very interesting. She is a Nepalese, from the Koirala family in Kathmandu, her grandfather Bishweshwar, two uncles Girija , Matrica have served as Prime Minister of Nepal. Girija, in particular, was forced to resign as prime minister just last year.
