Chapter 722: The Importance of Choice

"I heard Director Yu say that Mr. Qiao is going to buy Liao Zhai to be broadcast on TVB?" Wang Fulin lifted his glasses and asked with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Yes." Qiao Feng nodded with a smile and said: "I think we should take it to Hong Kong and let Hong Kong people see the outstanding works made by mainland TV people.

"Let's learn from each other." Wang Fulin waved his hand modestly, and then said with emotion: "But it's really hard for us to shoot TV in the mainland.

Wang Fulin said that Yang Jie, another director who made four famous novels, was very respectful in his words.

However, it is also normal, director Yang Jie can be said to have explored the first road of special effects for mainland TV filmmakers.

As a mythological drama, the special effects of Journey to the West are naturally indispensable, but for the mainland in previous years, the special effects are simply a blank.

Using the crew's camera, makeup, props, lighting, smoke, martial arts and other almost all types of work together, one shot from all angles countless times.

You must know that at that time, the Journey to the West crew had no funds, no equipment, and only one camera.

The shooting of all angles of that lens is not like a few decades later, when several or a dozen cameras were shot at the same time, and as long as the actors performed, the pictures from different angles could be captured at the same time.

Journey to the West shoots all angles of a shot, that is, the actor repeats the performance over and over again, and then the camera repeatedly changes the angle to shoot, and finally combines it into different angles on the film to show the same shot.

It can be said that Journey to the West, directed by Yang Jie, is the originator of all subsequent movies and TV series that require special effects, and is also a guide.

When filming Liaozhai, many special effects were made on the basis of director Yang Jie's summary and exploration of Journey to the West.

As a latecomer, Wang Fulin is of course quite admired.

And when it comes to hardship, technically it is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is naturally funding, Journey to the West was filmed for six years before and after, and there was less chat, two years and more than three years before and after, but the investment was only a few million.

Like Journey to the West, because of lack of funds, he was once stopped and beheaded, and the actors all worked for nothing without being paid at the beginning, which is why the actors at the beginning of Journey to the West changed frequently, and Tang Seng had three reasons.

In order to save money and safety, the facilities of Crane Weiya are reused, and a rope that is finely ground is still in use.

The 170-pound Sha monk fell directly on the cameraman's head in a coercive scene, causing the cameraman to be in a coma for two days.

Senior Brother and Bajie will high-five each time they finish filming, but they are not injured this time, and they will continue to work hard next time. Everyone is filming with their lives.

Later, I got a salary, but it was only 90 yuan a month, but the actors took one salary but worked two jobs, in addition to filming as actors, they also did field work.

There are no starring and supporting roles in the crew, and everyone is treated the same. There is no assistant, no nanny car, and no preferential treatment. After the filming, I had to work with the crew to carry several wagons of equipment and tools.

When there is a lack of actors, you have to make up with the crew to save the scene. Li Hongchang is the deputy director of the production of "Journey to the West", and he plays 7 roles in "Journey to the West".

Yan Huaili, who played the sand monk, in addition to his own role, also made a cameo appearance in nine other roles.

In addition to these two, almost all of the leading actors and field staff in the play have played cameo roles in "Journey to the West".

I have to say that Director Yang Jie's ability to use resources is simply first-class.

And then it was filmed in such a difficult environment that Journey to the West has become an eternal classic, and when it was fully broadcast on CCTV last year, the ratings were as high as 89.4%, even if there were not many TV stations at this time, and the TV programs were boring, but such ratings were still an absolute myth.

"I heard her say." Qiao Feng pointed to Chen Hong on the side: "It's also very hard to pat Liaozhai."

"yes." Wang Fulin nodded with a sigh: "Fortunately, our hard work has paid off, not only is it a sensation after the TV broadcast, but it can also be bought by Mr. Qiao to broadcast in Hong Kong, and it has not been in vain."

"Director Wang's Dream of Red Mansions was unfortunately preempted by ATV, and I have been regretting for a long time that I failed to broadcast such a good drama on TV, but fortunately, I finally don't have to regret this chat." Qiao Feng said with a smile.

was also speechless, and Qiao Feng didn't know what Wang Fulin was looking for him, so he could only continue to fake compliments.

The compliment is fake, because Qiao Feng, the classic of Dream of Red Mansions, has also heard people say it, he hasn't seen it much himself, and he doesn't like to watch it.

If it is placed on the TVB broadcast that has always been overwhelmed by the ratings of ATV, the ratings will definitely be higher, and the natural wireless will be able to earn more advertising fees, and it will also be able to get closer to its counterparts in the mainland, TV stations, and cultural departments.

Hearing Qiao Feng say this, Wang Fulin also smacked his mouth, which he also regretted.

But after Dream of Red Mansions was promoted on a large scale on ATV and then broadcast, Wang Fulin was not so happy.

Because, the ratings are far lower than his expectations, not to mention that he can get the fabulous eighty like the domestic broadcast, but at least there must be no sixty or seventy.

But the fact is that the highest ratings of Dream of Red Mansions when it was broadcast on ATV did not exceed fifty.

That's why it's important to choose a channel.

If it is placed on TVB, if the quality of the TV series broadcast in prime time is better, the ratings will rarely be lower than 30.

Naturally, if you put it on TVB, the ratings of Dream of Red Mansions can reach sixty or seventy, and if you put it on ATV, you can't pass the threshold of fifty.

"This chat is a good start for us to cooperate with Mr. Qiao and Wireless, and I hope to have more opportunities for cooperation in the future." Wang Fulin said very sincerely.

"Definitely, we will definitely cooperate more in the future." Qiao Feng smiled and nodded.

Cooperation, whether it is buying films or filming, will be a general trend in the future.

Even if wireless self-made dramas are enough to broadcast at home, cooperation with the mainland will still become a trend, but it is just a matter of how much.

Just like ATV, because it is not good to make its own dramas, it often seeks to buy good TV series made by others to play.

And TVB buys very little because of the strength of the Hong Kong TV industry and the good enough self-made dramas.

"Miss Chen's ancient costume is really amazing." Wang Fulin suddenly changed the topic and praised Chen Hong.

"Uh..."
