Chapter 30: Premiere
Everything that happened in the neon was far away, and Meng Lang didn't know.
If he knew that Pengda had become the evil P Society in the mouths of the children, he would definitely be depressed.
P Company?
In the future, will it have to be called "Consortium P of All Evils"?
Pengda's English abbreviation is "PD", and the "D" is narrowed down and merged into the bottom of the "P...... emmm really has its own "B" meaning in the dark!
Thankfully, he didn't know all about it yet.
The premiere of Little Demon Fairy has attracted a lot of attention.
is not only the small audience attracted by "Fire Boy King", but also many insiders are also paying attention to the drama "Balala Little Demon Fairy".
Everyone still remembers the turmoil when the little demon fairy was casting. The director who asserted that "Balala Little Demon Fairy" would not be popular is now also paying attention to the premiere.
Industry insiders watched the excitement.
If the director is right, Pengda Film and Television is really lucky to produce a hit "Fire Boy King", then everyone will immediately withdraw the plan to follow the trend and shoot a special effects drama.
After all, a hit may be an accident, and two consecutive special effects dramas of the same quality have become popular one after another, which really means that this theme has a head.
"Balala Little Demon Fairy" is on fire, Pengda Film and Television revitalizes the special effects theme, they follow the trend and make money together, and by the way, they can watch a well-known director's live broadcast and eat together.
This is the best-case scenario.
The worst may be that the premiere of "Balala Little Demon Fairy" was cold, and the ratings did not increase significantly.
There are convention-breaking hits such as "Firepower Boy King" in front, if "Balala Little Demon Fairy" performs very poorly, it can only show one problem, "Firepower Boy King" really took shit luck to become popular......
CCTV Children's Channel also attaches great importance to the first broadcast of "Balala Little Demon Fairy" on the New Year.
Since a week ago, they have begun to free up precious advertising time on their own platforms to warm up for the premiere of Little Demon Fairy.
Although the time is only one week, the CCTV Children's Channel covers a fixed audience across the country and crushes many provincial TV stations.
A week of warm-up, that's enough!
This week's time is enough for loyal viewers of CCTV Children's Channel to know that there is a drama to premiere on their channel on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
6 p.m., Animation Theater.
With the melodious opening bell, a new opening animation began to appear in front of the audience's eyes.
The opening and ending credits of "Balala Little Demon Fairy" use some animations, mainly to better show the characteristics of the toy, such as a 360° display of the magic fairy crystal chain at the beginning!
This is followed by the opening and closing credits.
The opening song "Balala Little Demon Fairy" is the theme song that Meng Lang spent a little money to invite a well-known music team to create and has complete copyright.
The ending song is very casual, Meng Lang doesn't have so much money to even make the ending song original, so he bought the authorization of a tune to refill the lyrics and invite a girl singer to sing it.
The interlude is the same as the ending song.
Buying tunes/buying licenses + re-filling lyrics/changing singers is not only Meng Lang playing, basically the producers in the circle are playing like this.
There is no other reason, and it saves costs.
It's too expensive to do high-quality songs.
It's okay to use the original theme song/opening song, but if you do it even for the interlude and ending song, the cost will go up directly.
Of course, this is the survival method of the general director of the divine drama thunder drama. For big productions, even if the soundtrack burns money, it is not as good as Xiao Xianrou's salary and money, and it is naturally original.
In fact, unless there is really no shortage of money, a drama can basically achieve the original opening song, which is the theme song, which is very sincere.
If it is a certain drama, the opening song is directly a certain song bought, then the producer is either short of money or lack of morality.
If it's still a big production that promotes heaven......
Then you can scold.
Don't doubt that if a big production is reluctant to have an original opening song, then the production budget must be spent elsewhere.
Like what...... The salary of a small fresh meat?
Meng Lang knew that there was a Qing palace drama recently, known as a 50 million production, and invited a popular domestic traffic student to play the starring role, with a certain national traffic actress Xiao Tiantian, and the ratings of the announcement explosion were not bad......
It's the opening song, I bought an ancient song and used it. Later, a commotion was also made, allowing the singer to remove the song from the shelves, and then add (xx theme song) to the song title to re-launch the music software.
This can be regarded as a status quo in the circle.
The actors are the most popular, so that the ratings are guaranteed. But the salaries of popular actors are very high, and the production budget can't support it.
So what to do?
It is only possible to cut corners elsewhere.
It is common for props to wear goofs and special effects textures in some popular film and television dramas.
Anyway, the audience won't care about the shrinkage of these small details.
At this point, Meng Lang still did a relatively good job. Even if the production budget of the little demon fairy is not much, the places that should be given are given. Costumes, props, and soundtracks cost a penny.
It's just that the actor is not famous.
But this is also a norm in tokusatsu dramas, it doesn't matter if the actors are not famous, as long as the production is completed, the children will buy it.
This is completely different from the attitude of adults chasing dramas.
"Balala Little Demon Fairy" is a special effects drama above the passing line, which is the conclusion that many people have come to after watching the first episode.
The dreamlike Demon Fairy Castle, the special effects of black magic used when the Demon Fairy Satsuki stole the Demon Fairy Color Stone, the outstanding appearance of the protagonists and sisters, and the laughter of the Demon Fairy Treasure Box to scare off the boss lady who stole potato chips at night......
The first episode is only halfway through, and many children are gradually fascinated by the world of magic fairies.
And then the appearance of Yan Lili and Demon Fairy Xiaolan completely drew out the camp of good and evil.
Both good and evil are beautiful women with excellent appearance, and this alone has earned enough attention from the audience, not to mention the special effects element of "magic".
Meng Lang has a friend of the person in charge of the film purchase department of the major children's channels across the country on WeChat, and almost at the moment when the first episode was shown and the advertisement was inserted, Meng Lang sent a WeChat message to the person in charge of CCTV Children.
"It's still being counted...... Don't worry. ”
CCTV Children's Channel and Jiangchuan Children's Channel are completely different from one day and one place.
Jiangchuan children's statistical ratings, only need to count the city's TV network data. After all, out of Jiangchuan, few viewers will watch them.
However, CCTV Children's Channel is the top children's channel covering the whole country, if it is more serious, I am afraid that it is a comprehensive channel of many provincial satellite TVs, and the ratings are not as high as CCTV Children's.
Based on this, the statistics of ratings have become a very difficult task.
It wasn't until the second episode was played that Meng Lang got a rough statistics of the ratings of the first episode.
The person in charge told Meng Lang that there was a deviation from the real ratings of this data, after all, they only counted all third-tier and above cities in China.
Viewership in remote areas and rural suburbs is not included in the scope of statistics.
