Huang Xizhao took the delegation of Central Television to the recording studio, props room and other places, and explained to them: "Hong Kong's TV drama system is different from other places. The TV series produced in Taiwan are often filmed by the director at one time, and after the whole TV series is completed, it is then taken to the TV station to broadcast. Because Taiwan's TV stations are all party-run, even if the ratings are not good, they can still get financial subsidies. ”

An old man in his 50s in the delegation said: "Last year, Lao Wang filmed "Eighteen Years in the Enemy Camp", and it was broadcast after all the filming was completed. ”

Huang Xizhao said: "Hong Kong's TV drama system is different, our TV stations are all privately owned, and they have to pay for their own profits and losses, so the commercial operation is very heavy. Like the United States, most of the TV dramas in Hong Kong are filmed and broadcast at the same time, if the audience likes it, they can make the TV series longer, if the ratings are too low, they will consider reducing the series, and even according to the audience's preferences, increase or decrease the role of a certain character. ”

Deputy director Jiang Dongming nodded and said to the other members of the delegation who accompanied him: "This is to let the people test the quality of a TV series, our TV station also serves the people, and the way Hong Kong compatriots make TV dramas is worth learning from." ”

Huang Xizhao didn't hear what Jiang Dongming said, and continued: "In order to save time and cost, Hong Kong TV dramas are divided into at least two director groups when filming, and at most there are even five or six director groups shooting at the same time. ”

An old man named Huang Yihe in the delegation asked: "Five or six director teams are filming a scene at the same time, I'm afraid it's difficult to manage, right?" ”

Huang Xizhao said with a smile: "So the producer has the final say in the filming of TV dramas in Hong Kong, because each director's style and shooting speed are different, and the producer needs to check the overall situation." Instead, between the various director teams, the main actors need to run back and forth, and the arrangement of the filming scene also needs to be coordinated by the producer. ”

Jiang Dongming had also been a director before, and he was shocked when he heard it: "How can the producer be busy?" ”

Huang Xizhao said: "Some producers often work as a group of directors themselves, and after a day of filming, they have to work overtime to sort out the bottom tape of the day's shooting, cut the film with the editor and the scene reporter, and basically sleep for three or four hours a day. Due to the large amount of work, the producer basically has to rest for a period of time after filming a TV series, otherwise his body will not be able to support it at all. ”

Jiang Dongming nodded approvingly: "It seems that Hong Kong's counterparts are still very dedicated." ”

Huang Xizhao explained while taking the delegation to visit. When he came to the outside of a studio, he was stopped by a staff member at the door and said, "Mr. Huang, Mr. Kang is taking makeup photos of "Xun Qin" inside. ”

Huang Xizhao said with a smile: "Behind me is a delegation from the mainland, so it won't be in the way to go in and visit." ”

Before Jiang Dongming came to Hong Kong, he had heard of Kang Jianfei's name and asked, "Mr. Huang, Mr. Kang in it is Kang Jianfei's boss?" ”

"It's him," Huang Xizhao lifted the curtain of the studio, pushed the door in, and said, "Come in and have a look." ”

Jiang Dongming had just stepped in half a foot, when he heard someone inside scolding: "Grass, the light is adjusted, whoever opens the door at this time on the street, let me out!" ”

Fortunately, the comrades from the mainland did not understand Cantonese, and they only thought that some people inside were losing their temper.

Huang Xizhao saw Kang Jianfei looking at his side angrily, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Kang, these are the investigators from Beijing/Beijing behind me. ”

The anger on Kang Jianfei's face suddenly turned into a smile, and he walked over with a haha, warmly shook Jiang Dongming's hand and said, "Welcome comrades from the mainland, I am just about to take you around when I am done." In the evening, I have booked a seat for everyone at the Kowloon Hotel. ”

"We have received Mr. Kang's heart, but altogether. The protégrators don't take a stitch from the masses, so don't break the bank. Jiang Dongming declined. At this time, although the mainland officials also had all kinds of tricks, they still paid great attention to their image when they went out for inspection, otherwise the consequences would be very strict once something happened.

Kang Jianfei shook hands with the other delegation members one by one and joked: "The comrades of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office often call me a Hong Kong compatriot. Compatriots and siblings are invited to have a meal, which is an expression of their hearts, and Director Jiang should not refuse. ”

Jiang Dongming calculated the cost of this inspection, thinking that it would be enough to pay for the meal after eating, and if he refused, it would hurt the feelings of Hong Kong compatriots, he nodded and smiled: "Mr. Kang is so gracious, then I might as well be respectful." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Kang Jianfei said with a smile, "Please comrades, wait a minute, I'll call it a day after this set of makeup photos are taken." ”

Jiang Dongming smiled: "You please." ”

Kang Jianfei continued to instruct the photographer to take pictures, while the people of the delegation watched with great interest.

Huang Yihe walked up to Jiang Dongming and said in a low voice: "Director, I just watched the variety show on Phoenix Channel, and I have an idea in mind. ”

Jiang Dongming asked, "What's the idea?" Could it be that you want to do this kind of program on the Central Channel? ”

"It's not now," Huang Yihe explained, "I mean, during the Chinese New Year, we will also have a party in Taiwan." Representatives of various ethnic minorities, advanced individuals, performing artists, and some leaders were invited to celebrate the New Year with the people of the whole country through guò television programs. ”

"Do you want to have a New Year's party?" Jiang Dongming pondered, "It's not that it can't, I'll go back and discuss it with Lao Zhao." However, this matter is very serious, and it must be approved by the superiors. ”

Huang Yihe thought for a while and added: "It is best to invite Hong Kong and Taiwan compatriots to the party and have a Chinese New Year's Eve reunion between the two sides of the strait and three places." ”

"That's a good idea!" Jiang Dongming's eyes lit up, if the program was involved in a reunion between the two sides of the strait and three places, it would be a political task, and it would be a great achievement if it was done well.

Huang Yihe said with a smile: "As candidates for Hong Kong compatriots, I think it is better to invite two stars from Phoenix Channel." ”

The two old men began to discuss the Spring Festival Gala, and Kang Jianfei quickly finished taking the makeup photos, and continued to visit with the delegation in a hurry.

After roughly turning around the TV station, Huang Xizhao thought about selling films in the mainland again, and dragged the people of the inspection group to the screening room to watch the series.

Huang Xizhao directly asked someone to take out the previous Lishi's proud work "Six Tribulations of Floating Life" from the film library, Wan Ziying, Wei Qiuhua, Chen Xiuwen and Zhang Guorong and others all starred in this TV series.

As a result, after only watching it for a few minutes, Jiang Dongming threw aside the content synopsis of the TV series in his hand, shook his head and said: "Let's replace the next one, I can't broadcast this one on the Central Channel if I buy it back." ”

Huang Xizhao didn't know the reason, and was about to ask a question, but heard Kang Jianfei whisper: "The gang drama is too heavy, let's change "Hero Huo Yuanjia". ”

Huang Xizhao nodded and asked someone to move "Hero Huo Yuanjia" out of the film library.

The reason why Kang Jianfei went directly to "Hero Huo Yuanjia" was because in another time and space, this TV series caused a sensation when it was broadcast in the mainland. However, it was screened on the Guangdong/East local station, and I don't know if this TV series can be directly on the Central Station.

Due to the butterfly effect brought by Kang Jianfei, Liang Xiaolong joined DreamWorks early, and the role of Chen Zhen in "Hero Huo Yuanjia" was played by Zhang Senmin. Zhang Senmin and Kang Jianfei have never heard of it, he and Huo Yuanjia's actor Huang Yuanshen left the TV station early and went outside to make a movie.

As for Mi Xue, the heroine of this play, she just returned to Phoenix Channel from TVB last month, and she signed a five-year contract.

In later generations, some fans of Mi Xue said that Mi Xue could take over the drama between TVB and ATV in order to raise their idols, which was pure nonsense.

Looking at Michelle's resume, it is clear that she has been filming at Jiashi initially, and she went to TVB after Jiashi went out of business. only filmed one drama in TVB, and was poached by Lishi, and filmed until the end of the Lishi era, and then switched to TVB. Michelle filmed on TVB for less than a year, and was soon signed back by ATV controlled by Qiu Degen, and the contract was a five-year contract.

This kind of experience can only be said that Michelle is very popular, and the two TV stations are rushing to get someone, but it is impossible to take over the drama between the two TV stations.

If Mi Xue shoots a drama on Phoenix Channel and becomes popular, and the next drama goes to TVB to shoot, will Kang Jianfei, as the boss, be happy? Not only is Kang Jianfei unhappy, but I'm afraid the most depressed is the program director Mai Dangxiong, it is possible to directly ban Michelle, what if she has a famous godfather?

Mi Xue only returned to Phoenix Terrace last week, which made Kang Jianfei very embarrassed, because Huang Xizhao and Mai Dangxiong both had a kin to let Mi Xue play Wu Tingfang in "Looking for Qin".

Kang Jianfei was persuaded by the two for a while, and finally changed his mind and replaced the original actor Mao Xianyun. Because whether in terms of fame or acting skills, Michelle is more suitable for the role of Wu Tingfang.

Although this play is a Cantonese dialogue, the members of the inspection team also watched it with relish by reading the subtitles.

After watching an episode, Jiang Dong nodded unsatisfactorily and praised: "This TV series is good, the theme is still patriotism, and it is very educational." ”

Another member of the expedition said: "The theme song is also very good, it has been sleeping for a hundred years, the Chinese people have gradually woken up, and the lyrics are very well written." ”

Kang Jianfei interjected at the right time: "The dialogue needs to be matched in Mandarin, but this theme song can be retained." The Central Station recorded a Chinese song by itself, together with "The Great Wall Never Falls", one as the opening song and the other as the ending song. ”

"I don't know how this TV series sells?" Jiang Dongming nodded and asked directly about the price.

Kang Jianfei and Huang Xizhao glanced at each other, and the former said: "2,000 yuan per episode, a total of 42 episodes, a total of 84,000 yuan." ”

"It's a good price." Jiang Dongming nodded, he was very satisfied with the price. Last year, the "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp" filmed by the Central Television Station itself was hundreds of thousands, and the several TV series purchased from the "Japan" book were basically more than 100,000.

Kang Jianfei smiled: "But I have one condition. ”

Jiang Dongming was a little surprised and asked, "What conditions?" ”

Kang Jianfei said: "After the broadcast of "Hero Huo Yuanjia", the central station cannot resell copies to local stations in the mainland at will. ”

At this time, piracy was everywhere in Hong Kong, and the mainland had no concept of copyright at all. Even more than a decade later, many regular theaters in mainland China screened "Titanic" were pirated copies - the distribution company did not have enough copies, and Chinese theaters privately engraved copies.

Jiang Dongming asked rather strangely: "Why?" Why can't we resell what we bought? ”

Kang Jianfei explained: "This is a copyright issue, a common law in the world. ”

Jiang Dongming didn't know if he was pretending to be confused, and said: "The TV stations in the mainland are all national, and they belong to the same nature. ”

Kang Jianfei almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood when he heard this, and endured his breath and said: "Otherwise, anyway, the Central Station will have to re-record Mandarin dubbing." All the Mandarin version of "Hero Huo Yuanjia" belongs to Phoenix TV and Zhongyang TV. If the central station is to be resold in the mainland, 500 yuan will be charged for each episode of Phoenix Station, and the rest of the money will be owned by the central station. ”

Jiang Dongming also had to take into account the image of the Central Station, nodded and said, "This is a good idea. ”

After this matter was settled, Huang Xizhao and Kang Jianfei were very happy. As long as it can be sold into the mainland market, this "Hero Huo Yuanjia" can be given away for free.

Think about dozens of provinces in the mainland, so many TV stations, how much money a TV series costs to sell in the past.

Of course, the city-level television station will definitely broadcast piracy, but the provincial television station can supervise it. In more than 30 provincial stations in the mainland, even if only half of the TV stations buy "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", they only charge 500 yuan per episode, and Phoenix TV also has 300,000 yuan in the account, which is equivalent to more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars at the market price - less than 500,000 yuan in the black market.

This is still an old drama, and the price of the new drama will definitely be more expensive. (To be continued.)
