In August 87, Humen Film and Television Base ushered in another great director - Wang Fulin!

Now the domestic film and television industry has just started, and it is not as rich as it was a few decades later. Although CCTV wants to shoot a TV series that consumes a lot of cost, it is also hesitant about the expensive cost.

can be supported by local tyrants and is willing to invest in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". As long as CCTV has its own broadcasting rights, it is not impossible to negotiate the transfer of other copyright interests to investors.

Therefore, Huang Xizhao called the leaders of CCTV and told him to invest in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". CCTV leaders responded quickly and sent Wang Fulin here to talk.

Of course, Wang Fulin also attaches great importance to getting investment in a new start-up film and television company.

You must know that CCTV did not have enough funds before, so Wang Fulin filmed a "Dream of Red Mansions" from 84 to 87. Although the classical architecture and props and costumes required for "Dream of Red Mansions" can be provided in China, the photographic equipment and consumables are all imported from overseas, which requires foreign exchange. It is precisely for this reason that "Dream of Red Mansions" had a lot of time to audition for actors at the beginning, and after that, it took a year to train actors. Because, basically, it took more than a year for the equipment to be in place. This process can be regarded as a mistake and a mistake, and the longer the run-in allows the actors to join the play more.

Of course, if an actor plays well, at least half of the credit must be due to the director's training.

Wang Fulin is indeed a genius in traditional historical dramas, and the filmed "Dream of Red Mansions" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are not the same as those later bewitching sluts, but really read the original work seriously, and after that, he made works that are loyal to the original work and higher than the original work.

A classic work has been filmed for a few years, which is basically unimaginable in the entertainment industry of later generations. After all, later actors basically rely on brushing their faces to eat, and if there are no new works for several years, their popularity will drop a lot, and their salaries and advertising endorsement income will shrink greatly.

It is precisely for this reason that with the later development of the domestic film and television drama market, it is becoming more and more rare to have a crew similar to the early filming of the four famous novels that sharpen their swords for several years.

Not only are the actors impetuous, but the directors are also able to make money, making a few more films a year, who wants to spend several years polishing a play?

"Director Wang, congratulations on the hit of your "Red Mansion", and it has become an unsurpassed classic in the film and television drama of "Red Mansion"!" Lin Qi said with a smile to this middle-aged director who is not amazing.

Wang Fulin smiled and said: "I'm ashamed, compared with our counterparts in Hong Kong, our experience is too little, and our funds are limited. Therefore, we can only take a stupid way, audition actors, and then cultivate the temperament of the actors according to the role, and wait until we are fully integrated into the role, we are willing to start the film. Otherwise, expensive imported film really can't afford to waste!"

"Domestic film photosensitive films, are all imported?" Lin Qi asked.

"It's not all imported, and most of it is domestic. The black and white ones basically do not need to be imported, and the color films, which are produced domestically, are only used in the production of ordinary programs by local stations. The film used in CCTV's big drama has very high requirements, so it needs to be imported. Wang Fulin said.

"Which manufacturers in China produce film-grade films?" Lin Qi asked curiously.

"Shanghai Photosensitive Film Factory No. 1, Baoding Film Manufacturing Factory, etc., are OK, which can be regarded as old brands. Wang Fulin said.

"Baoding Film Factory......" Lin Qi thought about it and seemed to remember, this film seemed to be the predecessor of the later Lekai film.

In fact, back in the 60s, the country was already able to produce motion picture films independently. It's just that domestic films are currently dominated by black and white. Color film began to tackle problems in the late 70s, and by the early 80s, the technology had been mastered. There are only a dozen countries in the world that can produce their own film films. However, in the mid-80s, there was still a big gap between domestic color film and international imported film. Therefore, the film used in a key TV series like "Dream of Red Mansions" is imported from overseas.

Of course, since the 90s, domestic color film basically does not need to be imported. However, it didn't take long...... Film shooting has entered the high-definition digital era again, not only the domestic film giants are dumbfounded, even Kodak, the boss of the traditional film industry, has declared bankruptcy under the popularity of digital cameras and digital video cameras!

Of course, before Kodak went bankrupt, it had been prosperous for nearly a hundred years, and the shareholders behind it earned far more profits than the losses caused by Kodak's bankruptcy.

The domestic film manufacturer Lekai is miserable. Finally, it became the pride of the national brand, and after more than ten years, the business was not good, and it was merged by Kodak. After that, it was abandoned by Kodak. After that, Kodak himself died......

As a result, Lekai missed the best transition period. If it is not acquired, it may be that Lekai will transform into digital cameras and cameras, and it may also be able to eat the dividends that cameras have almost become standard parts of many electronic devices.

You must know that traditional photography and film manufacturers have been hit by digital technology and have suffered heavy casualties. But many manufacturers who survived later have relied on the accumulation of technology to become fragrant buns. For example, the Leica camera, it stands to reason that when a new era arrives, it should hit the streets. However, Laicra's optical lens does have a hand, and it also needs optical lenses in the digital age, so many mobile phone manufacturers even used Laicra lenses as one of the selling points of mobile phones.

In addition, the technology of film manufacturers has a certain relationship with the semiconductor industry. In addition to digital cameras and cameras, it can even play a complementary role in many fields of semiconductors. For example, after the rebirth of Lekai Nirvana, it began to use the technology and team accumulated in the past photosensitive film to become a supplier to the semiconductor industry.

After that, I talked to Wang Fulin about the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which was also very smooth. Lin Qi waved his hand for 100 million yuan, let him make a classic.

This investment not only broke the investment record of domestic TV dramas, but even in later generations, TV dramas with hundreds of millions of investments will not begin to appear until at least after 2010. Moreover, this kind of large-scale production with a budget of hundreds of millions is not a common situation. Even later, the industry was still dominated by small-cost TV dramas of one or two million yuan.

However, "Three Kingdoms" is a war drama, and if you want to shoot that kind of scene, whether it is through special effects technology or real people to shoot, the cost will not be too low!

After that, Wang Fulin also issued a military order, and he will definitely make "Three Kingdoms" a classic TV series that will be difficult to be surpassed in the next 30 years!

And the length of the TV series is also more than 80 episodes!

This is not the kind of TV series in later generations that in order to make more money, the trick of irrigation is extended. It's because the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" itself is very heavy. To finish filming the plot of the original book, it takes such a long time.
