Chapter 722: Made
However, Sun Quan did not want to explain or argue with these people.
These posts on the author's forum are just another reminder to keep a low profile.
This approach seems a bit cowardly.
But it's a smart move.
Because he saw that there were many people who suspected him of showing off his wealth this time, and he couldn't win a group of people alone.
And even if he wins, what will it do to him?
But if he loses the debate, it will still damage his reputation.
So, just think of it as if those people were farting.
......
After this day, Sun Quan was finally able to concentrate on the crew of "The Last Wish of the Dead".
But two weeks later, the filming of the first season of "Dead Wishes" was also completed.
There are not many episodes in the first season, and the drama started filming a few years ago, so it is not very fast to finish now.
After completion, it is time for post-production.
Such as clipping, soundtrack, adding subtitles, and more.
These jobs do not need to stay in the magic capital, Sun Quan and others went to Hengdian, the headquarters of Salted Fish Film and Television is over there, and there are many related companies that can do film and television dramas in the later stage of Hengdian, which are very convenient.
Not only that, Yuan Shuiqing and others also left the magic capital with their children and returned to M City.
For Sun Quan and Yuan Shuiqing, M City is their home.
Although the magic capital also has their villas and branches, they do not have a sense of belonging here.
On the second night after Sun Quan and others came to Hengdian, the serialization of the book "The Last Wish of the Dead" on the Internet ended.
That night, Sun Quan released the last three chapters of the book in one go.
Then I wrote a short testimonial about the end of the book.
The book should have come as a surprise to everyone by finishing so quickly, no, the book review area was boiling after the last chapter of the book was released that night.
Freshly baked book reviews have sprung up one after another.
Such as:
"Grass, that's the end of the book? Isn't it? How many words is that?"
"This book has such a good score, it is only less than 2 million words, and it is finished?
"The alliance leader I just rewarded, this is the end of the book?"
"Is it because we can't afford to pay your manuscript fee at the starting point, or do we have no money to subscribe?
"Isn't it? Isn't this book made into a TV series? Even if it's to accumulate popularity, it shouldn't be finished so quickly, right?"
"Such a classic book, just write it so short? Is there a second one? Don't tell me it's over!"
"The great god is really willful! This book has such a high subscription, it has been the top seller in the last few days, such a good result, not more than a few million words, it is over like this, Niu Bi!
"Alas! Although a little reluctant, but judging from the plot, it is indeed a normal finished book, I don't want to ask anything else now, I just want to ask: When will the new book be opened?"
"The starting point actually allows you to finish this book so quickly with such good grades...... I'm convinced!"
......
Similar posts soon flooded the entire book review section.
Not only that, but at noon the next day, when Sun Quan took the time to log in to QQ, he also found that there were hundreds of private messages asking him why the book was finished so quickly.
Among them, most of them are his book fans.
A small number are peer authors.
There is also his editor-in-charge, and his editor-in-chief.
The editor-in-chief rarely sends him private messages, but this time he also sent him two.
Article 1: "Lao Sun, are you there?"
Article 2: "Why did you finish the book of "Wish of the Dead" so quickly? It can't be that another website is poaching you, you plan to run away, right?"
Not to mention, judging from Sun Quan's sudden and hurried completion of the book, it really looks like a hurried finish, ready to leave the starting point.
Sun Quan didn't explain much.
Just said that this is a normal book, and he has already written everything he wants to write about this book.
As for whether the editor-in-chief and others believe it or not, he doesn't care.
When his new book is published, these people will naturally choose to believe it.
He focused all his energy on the post-production of the show "Dead Wishes".
For the post-production of this show, I found a professional editor.
But about how to cut, Sun Quan participated in the whole process, and he didn't understand the professional editing techniques, but he knew what kind of plot he wanted.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed, and all the work in the post-production of "Dead Wishes" is finally completed.
On the night when the drama was completed, Sun Quan sat in front of the computer and watched the drama from beginning to end, until the next day, when he finished watching it all.
The final cut out of the first season of "The Wish of the Dead" has a total of 14 episodes.
Compared with the current long dramas with more than thirty or forty episodes in China, the length of his online drama can be said to be quite short.
Not only are the episodes short, but the duration of each episode is also short.
Each episode is only thirty minutes long, and including the opening and ending songs, it is no more than forty minutes.
At dawn, Sun Quan, who had watched the whole drama, lit a cigarette, not only to refresh himself, but also to think about problems.
Does this drama 100% restore the original work of "The Last Wish of the Dead"?
The answer, of course, is no.
Which drama can be 100% restored?
First of all, the image of the actor cannot be 100% in line with the character settings in the original book, and this alone determines that it is impossible for any film and television drama to restore 100% of the original work.
But for the quality of this drama, he is generally satisfied.
Because of the plot, the content of these 14 episodes is restored to the original work, and its restoration degree is about 90%.
This is the biggest benefit of him personally serving as the chief director of this drama and participating in the post-editing.
Otherwise, if this drama is completely handed over to others to film, he doesn't believe that the degree of restoration can be so high.
And this is also the main reason why he wanted to be the chief director and participate in the post-editing.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to restore the original plot as much as possible, why would he invest in a film and television company to make this drama? The film and television adaptation rights of his book "The Last Wish of the Dead" are not unsellable.
After smoking a cigarette, he closes his computer, gets up to wash, and goes to bed.
When I woke up, it was already evening.
I'm definitely hungry.
But he didn't plan to go to dinner alone, he called Xue Zihan, Wang Zheng and Tao Yujuan and asked them to drink together.
By the time they got to a hotel, it was already dark.
After meeting, Xue Zihan and the others naturally asked him if there was something wrong with the sudden invitation to dinner today?
"Post-production is over, and the rest of the work of finding a video site to work with is left to you. ”
Sun Quan's voice did not fall.
The three of them were pleasantly surprised.
Tao Yujuan: "Really, all the post-production is finished, what about the finished product, show us the finished product first!"
Xue Zihan's eyes lit up, "How is the quality?" Ah Quan, you participated in the whole post-production, do you think the quality is OK?"
Even Wang Zheng, the oldest and most stable, couldn't help but ask: "Yes! If you rate this drama, how many points would you give?"
No one asked how many episodes the show had in total.
Because the first thing to be done in post-production is the editing work, and they already know how many episodes will be edited in the end.
Sun Quan didn't rush to answer their words, first beckoned them to order the wine and food, and when the waiter left the box, and only the four of them were left in the box, he smiled and said: "The finished product has been copied, as for the quality, you can see it for yourself! I have participated in this drama from beginning to end, and now let me rate this drama, I can't stand in an objective position to score, I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because of the truth of being in this mountain, you should all understand, right? So, the matter of scoring, you should come back!" ”
After a pause, he looked at Xue Zihan, "Sister Xue, looking for a video website to talk about cooperation, I will mainly leave it to you, I will go back to M City tomorrow, I have been out for so long, I should go back to accompany my wife and children, hehe." ”
He was completely relaxed.
From the filming of this drama to today, he has invested half a year before and after, and now, not only is all the work of this drama over, but the original book has long been finished, and the new book has not yet been prepared, let alone published.
Speaking of which, he has never been so idle since he was reborn.
It seems to have been busy, busy.
It wasn't until today that I finally got completely idle.
Naturally, it is very relaxed.
Xue Zihan looked at Wang Zheng and Tao Yujuan at the same table, and smiled, "Okay! Anyway, you don't have much hope for the price of this season, but it's easy to find a website to broadcast this drama." ”
After a pause, he suddenly asked, "By the way, what do you say...... If this drama is to cooperate with a website, will it sell out the copyright to a video website? Or will it be a way to get a share of clicks?"
Tao Yujuan: "Click to share? This is not very reliable, is it?"
Wang Zheng frowned, "Selling out can ensure the profit, but the price is not estimated to be high, if you share it, there is a risk, but there is also a chance to sell for more money......"
He only talked about the pros and cons of selling out and sharing, but did not give an opinion.
Sun Quan picked up the teapot on the table, poured a glass of water to drink, and when he put down the cup, he said with a smile: "Divide it! When talking about cooperation, strive to fight for a good recommendation position with the video website, and the rest...... Before the broadcast of this drama, let's find a way to do publicity ourselves, if we do a good job in publicity, the more audiences we attract will be our income, otherwise, if it is sold out, it will not make much sense for us to do our own publicity.
Moreover, there is nothing to do with selling out, so let's divide it!"
Wang Zheng nodded.
Tao Yujuan hesitated, and nodded slightly, "Okay, then divide it!"
Xue Zihan looked at everyone and smiled, "Okay! The price of the outright is not easy to fight, and it shouldn't be difficult to share, just see if you can get a good recommendation position when you sign a contract with a video site." ”
That night, the four of them drank for more than two hours.
Talked a lot.
During the period, I also talked about the filming date of the second season of "Dead Wishes".
Regarding this issue, the final consensus of the four is that after the word-of-mouth of this drama comes out for a few days, depending on the word-of-mouth of the show, they will decide when the second season will start filming, or whether it will start filming.
This drama was originally planned to be filmed for three seasons.
The total investment is 30 million.
At present, the filming of 14 episodes of the first season, because of Sun Quan's attitude of striving for excellence, he also chose the filming location of this drama in the metropolis of the magic capital.
In fact, the production cost of this season has greatly exceeded the budget.
The content of 14 episodes, the total cost has exceeded 6 million.
You must know that the estimated number of episodes in the second and third seasons is far more than 14 episodes.
Therefore, when the four of them drank that night, they didn't have much hope that the first season of the show would make money.
Several people basically put the hope of making money in the next two seasons.
According to their optimistic estimates, if the first season has a good reputation and popularity, the production cost of the second and third seasons will drop a lot.
For example, the costumes of the actors, some props of the crew, etc., can be used in the production of the next two seasons, and the costumes and props of the first season can be used, which can save a lot of costs.
In addition, if the reputation and popularity of the first season are good, before the filming of the next two seasons, it should be possible to attract some sponsorship.
Find some businesses and insert some ads into this show.
After all, the story of "Dead Wishes" takes place in a modern city, and it is not as difficult to place ads as costume dramas.
......
The next day, Sun Quan, who was relaxed, accompanied by Yu Xinxin, Gao Guang and Tian Youzhi, drove back to M City.
In the afternoon of the same day, I arrived home.
When I entered the door, I saw that the whole family was in the living room.
Yuan Shuiqing was holding a son and was feeding his son with a bottle, and his mother Xu Mei was holding another son and was also feeding with a bottle.
Yes, his two sons have relatively large appetites, and Yuan Shuiqing's breast milk is not enough for the two boys to eat, so he can only match some milk powder every day.
Although Sun Quan has been in Hengdian recently, he has long known about this.
And his daughter Sun Jiexin ...... At this time, she was holding a milk bottle, leaning next to Yuan Shuiqing, her eyes staring at her younger brother who was drinking milk, she was also drinking, but she seemed a little unfocused, obviously she was also drinking milk, but a pair of big eyes kept staring at her brother.
When Sun Quan entered the door, he happened to see Sun Jiexin suddenly snatch the bottle in Yuan Shuiqing's hand and take several sips.
And there is still half a bottle of milk in the bottle in her own hand that she has not finished drinking.
She actually snatched her brother's milk and drank it......
As soon as he entered the door and saw this scene, Sun Quan couldn't help laughing.
And the younger brother who was robbed of the baby bottle...... I don't know if it's Dabao or Xiaobao, a pair of big black eyes looked at my sister Sun Jiexin innocently, her brows furrowed, her mouth was deflated, and she was so aggrieved that she suddenly cried.
"Wow Wow ......"
"Xinxin, who told you to snatch my brother's bottle?
Yuan Shuiqing hadn't seen Sun Quan who had just entered the door, and when he saw his daughter eating from the bowl and dominating the pot, he immediately reprimanded his daughter with a heavy face.
Sun Zhicai, who was changing the diaper of another child on the side, heard this, and turned his head helplessly and asked, "Xinxin grabbed the big treasure bottle again?"
The word "again" in these words let Sun Quan know that this is not the first time his daughter has done this.
He hurriedly walked a few steps, snatched the bottle she had just snatched from his daughter with a smile on his face, and handed it to Yuan Shuiqing.
"Xinxin, you're an older sister, how can you snatch your brother's milk to drink, right?"
He smiled and reasoned with his daughter.
As soon as Sun Jiexin turned his face and saw him, he immediately showed a bright smile, opened his hand and threw himself on his leg, and hugged his leg with two small hands, "Dad...... Daddy......"
She screamed happily twice, but she seemed to forget that she still had a bottle in her hand, and then it fell to the ground with a clang......
