When "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was completed, it also coincided with the graduation of the first film and television special effects training class of Zhonghai University, and all 30 students passed the assessment, and were awarded a certificate of completion by Zhonghai University and Star Entertainment, and all of them got the signing contract of Star Entertainment.

The 30 trainees were divided into three groups and assigned to three departments, of which Fei Luo and Song Xiaoci and the remaining 8 people were assigned to the film and television special effects group, and the other 20 people, half of whom were assigned to the animation production department and half were assigned to the game production department.

Animation production and game production have not yet started, but Star Entertainment is not short of funds, after the talent is in place, as long as the project plan is written, it can be started at any time, but so far Star Entertainment has been established for a short time, it is not appropriate to spread the stall too big, now it is better to focus on music and film and television, this is the strongest point of Star Entertainment, as for animation and games, now you can set up a department first, give them funds, let them study it first, and then start doing it without a good project plan.

The film and television special effects team where Fei Luo and Song Xiaoci are located was very busy as soon as they entered the company, because there are a considerable number of special effects shots in the play "Smiling Proud Jianghu" that need to be processed, Meng Xinghui is a perfectionist at work, he not only requires the plot, actors, modeling and other general directions to keep improving, and even in the visual effects, background music and other details must be carefully crafted, if it is a general shoddy martial arts drama, some shots will be fooled and passed, but Director Meng Da is definitely not this style, He used the attitude of making movies to make this drama, and since he is determined to make a classic, he must show 200% sincerity.

The group of Fei Luo and Song Xiaoci is the elite group of the training class, their level is already the world's top level, once they go all out, "Smiling Proud Jianghu" will definitely kill all domestic martial arts dramas in terms of visual effects alone.

The so-called raising soldiers for a while, Star Entertainment's one-stop operation method is basically difficult to implement for most film and television companies, because they do not have such strong technical and financial support, first of all, they do not have the ability to raise such a technical team, and secondly, even if they raise such a team, the level is estimated to be very inferior, and in the end, it is found that they still have to find foreign studios to do the post-production, so in domestic film and television companies, Star Entertainment's model is unique and cannot be copied by others. The biggest advantage of this model is that it is highly efficient, because all departments are one company, sincerely cooperate with each other, and immediately after shooting, they can do post-production, editing, dubbing, soundtrack, special effects production, complete assembly line operation, very fast, which is enough to ensure that the work efficiency of Star Entertainment is definitely the highest in the industry.

Soon, the post-production of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" was completed, with the contacts of the first operation, and the second time the film was sent to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for approval, it was also very smooth, and the martial arts drama was actually very easy to approve, because it created a virtual world, and it would not involve prohibited content such as politics * politics * erotic * sex * black * Dao, especially Jin Yong drama, there is nothing to worry about, plus Meng Qiudi's previous help, so the approval speed is quite fast.

After a few months, Star Entertainment's first big drama "Romantic Career" has still not been completely withdrawn from the screen, and there are still many satellite TV rebroadcasts, and the ratings are still not low, and even some satellite TV can maintain a rating of five percent after replaying, which is already better than the ratings of most so-called hit dramas, for advertisers, they don't care if you are a new drama or an old drama, only the ratings are good dramas, so there are still a lot of people who want to watch this drama, in Southeast Asia, "Romantic Career" 's ratings also exceed all TV dramas in the same period, breaking the absolute monopoly of Korean dramas, Meng Xinghui Jin Yufei and others are currently the most popular idol superstars in Asia, the light is close to Song Seung-heon, Hyun Bin, Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Tae-hee, Kimura Takuya, Haruka Ayase, Oguri Shun and other idol stars who have been famous for a long time, so to speak, there have never been idol stars in the mainland of China who have been recognized by the entire Asian market, they are thriving in China, but it is difficult to go abroad, The young people of Star Entertainment have taken the lead in taking a step towards internationalization, especially in South Korea, where the entertainment industry is developed, so to speak, the popularity of Meng Xinghui, Jin Yufei and others is even better than that in China.

With "Romantic Career" Zhuyu in front, there is no need to worry about the sales of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Meng Xinghui decided that the premiere rights are still signed with Mango Channel, and then the second round of broadcast rights will be jointly purchased by Jiangsu Satellite TV, Dragon TV, Yanjing Satellite TV and Anhui Satellite TV, and Meng Xinghui also produced the Cantonese version, Chinese version, and Korean version of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", just to meet the purchase demand of the Southeast Asian market.

The colleagues in the marketing department led by Li Jie are so busy that they are about to fly during this time, and they have to contact TV station representatives from Southeast Asian countries every day, domestic, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Yueben, South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, etc., etc., etc., I can't wait for everyone to have three heads and six arms, but because of the good reputation of "Romantic Career", their second drama is not worried about selling at all, and the negotiation is also very bullish, and the most commonly said words are, "Well, it's at this price, you think about it, You can make some requests, but you can't bargain, you see, there are people queuing up in the conference room outside, you don't buy, there are so many people who want to buy. ”

It is estimated that if the bosses of other film and television companies see the grand occasion in front of Star Entertainment, they can envy to death, they shoot a scene, ask grandpa to sue grandma to find someone to do the post-production, and ask grandpa to sue grandma to send it for approval after the post-production, most of the films are filmed, in fact, they can't pass the approval, even if they do, I don't know how long it will take to broadcast, a certain urban emotional drama that was popular some time ago, in fact, it has been reviewed in 2006, and it will be broadcast this year, and local satellite TV is better, I don't know how many dramas to be broadcast are stored in CCTV's film library, it is estimated that they are all scheduled for 2020, even if they are approved, they still have to lick their faces to find TV stations to sell, whether people are willing to pay for it, how much money they are willing to spend to buy it, and whether they can return to their original costs, it really depends on whether God rewards you for eating.

Some time ago, the suicide of the boss of a film and television company in Zhejiang has made the onlookers see the hardships of this industry clearly, and it is not a little money to invest in a drama to ensure that you can make money, many people see the glamorous and beautiful circle, see the luxurious life of successful film and television company CEOs such as Wang Xialei, and also see the scenery of popular superstars absorbing hundreds of millions of dollars, but no one knows that this is only a very small number of people in the circle, the vast majority of people live in dire straits, and Huaxia has to shoot about thousands of dramas every year. But in the end, it is estimated that less than a tenth will be able to broadcast, which is already very telling. Even those episodes that are fortunate enough to be broadcast, but there are very few that can be hit, in fact, we can count on our fingers, in a year, which dramas are familiar to us, that is, so few, hit dramas can make money, but the investment in most dramas may be wasted, a better break even, and a little worse may lose money.

Especially in recent times, the salary of actors has risen, and it is easy to ask for hundreds of thousands of episodes, and the salary of one episode of the legendary article has reached a sky-high price of 600,000, that is to say, a 30-episode TV series, if you ask the article to take the lead, you will have to pay him 18 million in salary, which is a heavy burden for any investor. The current audience is more selective of actors, no one wants to watch if they don't look for stars, and the cost of finding stars will undoubtedly increase a lot, the boss of the film and television company who committed suicide in Zhejiang, it is said that it is because the star's salary is too high, and the TV series invested in it cannot recover the cost, and the debt is high after the capital chain is broken.

Under the leadership of the young president Meng Xinghui, they have opened up a new business model, and their grasp of the market is fast, accurate and ruthless, the hit of "Romantic Career" and the hot state of sales of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" have proved everything.

As early as after the news of the completion of "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Li Jie's phone was almost blown up by the people of each David TV, and almost every day he chased and asked if the post-production was completed, when he would be able to go to the stars, etc., all of which annoyed Li Jie to death, and after the TV series was successfully approved and could be put on the stars, the people from each David TV soon came to the door to rob him.

Not only does traditional media sell well, but the sales of online premiere rights are also hot, following the good cooperation with Tencent Video last time, this time Star Entertainment still sold the first round of simultaneous live broadcast rights of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" to them, considering that many young people don't like to watch TV, chasing dramas choose to watch on the computer, so the Internet will always be a key project captured by Star Entertainment, and this time is no exception.

Meng Daguan is relatively idle during this time, as the first big drama directed and acted in, he has been really busy in the past few months, after the post-production is completed, he sat in the screening room and watched it for the first time, and he felt very relieved and satisfied to see his efforts turned into wonderful scenes on the screen.

Before the broadcast, Meng Xinghui sent Mr. Jin Yong a suppressed DVD, and wrote a long letter, pouring out some of his feelings about filming this TV series, and soon got a reply from Mr. Jin, Jin Lao said, after receiving the DVD disc of this play, he spent two days and one night to watch it in one go, and he barely closed his eyes in the middle, he said, this is the best version he has seen, and it completely reproduces the spiritual core of the original work, whether it is the plot, character building, or clothing, picture, dubbing, soundtrack, All of them are exquisite, breathtaking, especially the song "Song of Smiling Proud Rivers and Lakes", when he wrote it, he relied on his imagination, but he didn't expect that someone could really turn his imagination into a real piano and flute ensemble, which is really amazing!
