Chapter Seventy-Four: Everyone Rejoices

On the second day of the exhibition of the works of the graduating students of the Suncheon Film Academy, the 360-minute edited version of "The Legend of the New White Lady" was played by Li Qian's directorial work. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because this "special cut version" is six hours long, so it has to be divided into three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon.

In the past half a year, this TV series has become popular all over Asia, even if it is broadcast in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries, it has achieved dominating ratings at the same time, so that after a TV series is broadcast, Zhu Qiang and Bai Yujing have even been praised by many foreign media as the top superstars in Asia - although it is just a TV series!

With a strong popularity base, in recent times, Zhu Qiang, especially Bai Yujing, has even begun to frequently receive invitations from advertisers from Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and other countries, and there have been as many as seven or eight film invitations, and these film invitations are all movies!

And not long ago in April, this TV series was even sold to India, a big country in South Asia, and several countries in Africa, such as Egypt and South Africa, and the United States has even sent people to negotiate the right to broadcast it. Of course, unlike Asia and Southeast Asia, which are deeply influenced by traditional Chinese culture, these countries affected by this wave are not optimistic about the ratings of this TV series, they came to buy the broadcast rights, just out of the psychology of trying something new, and want to tap the ratings of some viewers with a strong hunting psychology, so the price they can give is purely the price of cabbage.

But no matter what, after all, this TV series has been sold all over the world in the name of righteousness, this forced style, but there are not many domestic TV dramas in history, to say that there is only one "Journey to the West" that can sell so many national copyrights before, and has achieved results that are not inferior to this TV series. Sun Dasheng's story was also very hot in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and it was also regarded as a boutique of oriental culture, which was bought by some Western TV stations and film companies and broadcast to some curious audiences.

That is to say, simply discussing the status in the history of domestic TV dramas, this TV series is enough to keep pace with "Journey to the West"!

Of course, it is in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and it is currently the hottest time, but in China, the heat has subsided a lot after all, and even for many viewers, when they watched it with relish, and rewatched it again with interest, and then inertly didn't know which episode to start watching, and unconsciously completed the three brushes, when they turned on the TV, they found that many TV stations were still broadcasting it, changing the channel, it was it, and then changing the station, it was it again...... I'm starting to get a little tired of it, even from the bottom of my heart.

Therefore, if you want to say how hot everyone is about this fine-cut version of "The Legend of the New White Lady", in fact, it is impossible to talk about it at all, plus when the square picture of the TV series is put on the wide screen, it will make people subconsciously feel a little awkward, so when the broadcast starts in the morning, the people who come seem a little sparse.

On the contrary, Li Qian himself, who honestly sat in his seat, seriously read this version that was re-edited by several senior brothers from beginning to end.

While watching, I wondered in my heart why the other party would edit like this, and why the other party would screen this 39-hour story like this.

At the same time, he subconsciously compared this version again with the incomparably classic version in his mind - in his opinion, his hard work was not in vain, and this version was not inferior to the one in his mind if it was purely about the quality of shooting.

That's it.

It's just that I didn't waste and waste it.

When I put down half of the film in the afternoon, the large screening room was suddenly crowded. Because it was foretold in advance, Bai Yujing, who was in Shuntian Mansion, would appear.

Bai Yujing really came, and the welcome she received was far more enthusiastic than those leaders and successful senior brothers.

Sitting side by side with Li Qian and watching the second half, Bai Yujing watched it very seriously from beginning to end, and after watching it, he felt infinite emotion, and bit his ear with Li Qian, "Looking back now, I acted okay." Li Qian smiled.

When the movie ended, it was already five o'clock, and Li Qian and Bai Yujing took the stage as directors and leading actors, but Li Qian simply talked about his creative feelings for a few minutes, and thanked him from beginning to end, saying that he was official and low-key compared to when he won the best director, and then transferred the microphone to Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing answered a lot of questions very kindly, but she knew the sense of proportion in her heart, in this highest university for domestic films, not only did she not have the slightest star shelf, but also like Li Qian, she was very low-key, and after answering some questions, she quickly let go of the microphone.

The focus of this interview is on the 14 new graduates who were responsible for reorganizing the storyline and editing it—especially Chao Xiaogai, the 1997 graduate student in editing, who took the lead in this editing.

The graduate class at Suncheon Film Academy is not fixed how many students are recruited every year, and in many years, when teachers find that there are no suitable seedlings, they will even not recruit students at all.

In the past ten years from '90 to '99, there were only three graduate classes in editing, and there were only five graduate students in total!

Therefore, to a certain extent, Chao Xiaogai, a master's student majoring in editing, is much more expensive than a graduate student majoring in directing who recruits a small class of three or five people almost every other year.

It is also natural that Chao Xiaogai and Zheng Minghui, another graduate student majoring in editing, have been targeted by many TV stations and film and television companies not long after they entered the graduate class, and the employment contract has been signed before the graduate student graduates, Li Qian also put a lot of effort, and even took out "The Legend of the New White Lady" for them to toss, but still couldn't move even one of them, so they could only helplessly watch one of them enter Huaxia TV and the other enter another film and television company.

But even so, Li Qian still tried his best to help them get more.

When the interview was about to end, he took the microphone and suddenly announced that after negotiation, the 360-minute version of "The Legend of the New White Lady" had been ordered by two TV stations, Hunan Satellite TV and Liaoning Satellite TV, and after obtaining the broadcast permission from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, it would be broadcast on the two TV stations.

The total purchase fee of 2 million yuan paid by the two of them will be donated to Suncheon Film Academy in the name of Minghu Culture Company and a total of 14 members of the editing team, and a batch of new shooting and editing equipment will be added to the film school.

In addition, Minghu Culture also deliberately took out 140,000 yuan to subsidize the 14 members of the editing team who participated in this editing as their personal remuneration.

Li Qian had never disclosed this news before, and it suddenly broke out at this time, shocking the entire screening hall.

The leaders and old professors of the film academy are of course very happy, two million is enough to buy a lot of good things, but even happier are the fourteen editing graduates and master's students who participated in the editing.

The re-cut version can still be sold, which means that their names will appear at the beginning and end of the broadcast, which can be regarded as their first official work, which must be a great surprise.

And theoretically speaking, no matter how this TV series is edited, the copyright belongs to Minghu Culture, and it belongs to Li Qian, after the coordination of the school, Li Qian is willing to give them his famous works to toss around, it is already a favor, and how much money is sold has nothing to do with them, and it is impossible to even get paid. But now, the money received after the sale is donated to the school, and they can still participate in the signature, and in addition, there will be a salary of 10,000 yuan per person to get - this is really a surprise, wave after wave, I can't say!

So, Chao Xiaogai and Zheng Minghui, who were shocked, opened their mouths to thank them again and again, and Dean Kong also specially took the microphone to officially express the hospital's gratitude to Minghu culture.

Everyone was happy.

After participating in the screening of "The Legend of the New White Lady" for a whole day, Li Qian completely escaped, and he will not participate in the next few days.

It was already mid-May, and according to the pre-planned plan, "Meteor Garden" should have ended filming in early July because it started filming ten days ahead of schedule, and his first film would officially start filming after a short break for the crew members.

But now, the crew members in his mind, including executive producer Huang Wenjuan, assistant director Han Shunzhang, director of photography Jin Han, etc., are still filming "Meteor Garden".

Another assistant director, Lu Lingxi, chatted a few words that day and promised to have dinner together another day, but he never called.

Even Sun Yuting, the production assistant who has been scheduled for now, is still busy helping the acting department work overtime to rehearse the graduation drama at the end, and she didn't even participate in any other activities except for her own "Deep Space" screening - in short, she can't count on it.

Therefore, Li Qian had no choice but to run around to survey the filming site by himself.

And so far in this play, not to mention the heroine, even if it is temporarily assumed that He Yingyu will accept the invitation to audition for herself in Minghu Culture, and she can indeed be qualified and selected, but the more important actor has not yet landed at all!

But fortunately, the invitation was sent out, and they didn't make Li Qian wait too long.

On June 16, Li Qian was looking for the camera in a small playground on the outskirts of Shuntianfu with a viewfinder, and within an hour, he received calls from Lu Lingxi and He Yingyu.

The former wanted to meet Li Qian, and the latter directly expressed his willingness to audition.
