56. TV drama trade fair (1)
On March 12th, [The Legend of Sword and Fairy] was finally completed.
The series was filmed for six months, went through three seasons, and went to more than 10 locations across the country, including staff and extras, with a total crew of more than 300 people......
Each of these numbers is a milestone in Ye Sumang's career as a director.
Commanding such a large-scale crew also gave Ye Sumang a profound exercise, from the beginning he was still a little hurried, taking care of the head and ignoring the tail, to gradually commanding Ruo Ding, like an arm.
Under the scheduling of Ye Sumang, the entire crew finally successfully completed the filming of the entire TV series.
The crew's finale banquet was not very luxurious, considering that most of the staff who remain in the crew now, Cai Yinong directly chartered a medium-sized independent barbecue restaurant in Zhoushan City, so that everyone can eat affordably and relax.
After the finale banquet, most of the crew can easily take a long vacation, but some people have to continue to be busy, including Ye Sumang, Ning Hao, Cai Yinong and others.
As a director, Ye Sumang must also participate in the next editing work, and Ning Hao, as his gold medal cameraman, will naturally follow Ye Sumang.
In addition, Ye Sumang will also personally participate in the soundtrack, and Cai Yinong will do work for the promotion of the TV series Zuihou, and also prepare to submit the TV series for review, so as to catch up with the TV drama trade conference in June, hoping to find a good seller, so as to catch up with the end of the TV series' golden summer vacation.
In this busy state, Ye Sumang didn't even rush back to Kyoto, and directly stationed at the headquarters of Tang Company's Pearl City, living a life in a small black house every day.
At the beginning of April, the final cut version of the TV series was finally completed, with a total of 42 episodes, which can barely be regarded as a feature-length TV series in costume dramas. However, the matter is far from over, and the next thing is that the special effects company needs to add the special effects that have been produced to the entire TV series, as well as the soundtrack of the TV series, etc., which is expected to end in late April to early May.
Therefore, there is not much time left for Ye Sumang and others, and several people are working overtime, in order to race against time and complete it as soon as possible.
In terms of soundtrack, Cai Yinong relied on his own connections and invited Mr. Mai Zhenhong, a famous film score master in Hongkou.
Under his guidance, Ye Sumang not only mastered a wider variety of musical instruments, broadened his horizons, but also burst out of inspiration, creating three classic soundtracks such as "Sword and Fairy Love", "Sword", and "Reincarnation".
It happened that Yao Zhuangxian came to visit the class that day, and when he heard the three songs played by Ye Sumang, he immediately made a decision to use them as the game soundtrack for the upcoming [Legend of Sword and Fairy II].
After two more months of struggle, on May 10th, the TV series [The Legend of Sword and Fairy] was finally completed.
On the day the TV series was produced, Cai Yinong immediately sent the TV series to the Huaxia Radio, Film and Television Administration for review.
The whole TV series was shot by Ye Sumang with purity, beauty, and sunshine.
In the plot of forty-two episodes, there are no violent scenes, nor is it full of pornography, and there is not even a real kissing scene, except for some small controversies in the subject matter, the TV series as a whole is very pure, so it quickly passed the censorship.
During this period, Ye Sumang spent another two days editing a three-minute trailer, showing the tenderness and chivalry that the Legend of Sword and Fairy wants to express vividly.
Tang Company and Huanyu Game Group also hung the trailer video on the homepage of their company's website for the first time, and also released a lot of tidbits and stills shot at the shooting site on weekdays, and began to prepare for the next TV drama trading conference to strive for impression points.
On June 2, just after Children's Day, the TV drama trading conference began.
The TV drama trade fair is held twice a year, which can be described as the largest event in the TV circle, where hundreds of TV dramas are traded every year as broadcast resources for various provincial and local stations.
It is also a blessed land for many talented directors and screenwriters, and perhaps Bole of any TV station will discover their merits and buy out their works.
[The Legend of Sword and Fairy] can be said to be a fire before it was broadcast, and the topic has been continuous during the filming process. So it has also become one of the star works of this TV drama trade fair, and even the promotional video for the opening of the conference has captured the highlights of the fairy sword for fifteen seconds.
The conference adopts a 'business room' transaction model, where the producer of the TV series only needs to wait in the hotel room, and if there is a TV station that enjoys the film, someone will be sent to the producer's room to discuss it.
"Sister Cai, don't walk around, what should come will come after all." Ye Sumang, who participated in the TV drama trade fair for the first time, was reclining on the sofa in the living room at this time, with a lazy smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of calm.
On the contrary, Cai Yinong, who had participated in such a conference many times, walked around a little anxiously, looking very impatient.
"Can you not be in a hurry? It's been an hour, why hasn't a representative come over, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be, our TV series have been on the promotional video. ”
"After all, it's a brand new theme, I guess those TV stations are waiting and seeing..."Ye Sumang thought for a moment and said his opinion.
Ye Sumang's sentence is in one sentence.
At this time, many TV station representatives have actually watched the TV series [The Legend of Sword and Fairy], and most of the people in it are very interested, but due to its high price and new theme, all TV station representatives are a little hesitant.
After all, if the TV series that was bought back at a large price, if it can't be released, it will be a loss.
Although the TV station is state-owned, after all, the annual income will also be considered by the whole country, which is not only the political achievement of the station's leaders, but also a face-saving issue among dozens of provinces.
Therefore, the representatives of these TV stations who came to buy works also had a very cautious attitude, not seeking merit, but seeking no fault.
In a corner of the fair, a middle-aged man with a majestic face was constantly watching one work after another, and he was accompanied by a woman who was not very outstanding in appearance, but had a very good temperament, looking at the intimate attitude of the two, it was obviously a couple.
"Changqing, how is it, have you found a satisfactory work?" The woman didn't know much about these TV series, but she was very curious, so she kept asking her husband next to her.
"Hmm...", the man named Changqing said, "There are two alternatives, one of which I look very exciting, but it is a type that has never appeared in the TV circle. The other one is the hottest genre at the moment, and the shooting is not bad. These two dramas make me hesitate a little now, what do you think? ”
"Ask me? I don't understand TV dramas..."The woman smiled lightly and said with some embarrassment.
"If you don't understand, you can give your opinion, which do you think is better?"
"Well..."The woman thought for a moment before she said: "I don't know much about TV dramas, and you know that I am in finance." But in the stock market, it is only possible to make a lot of money by holding a gambling mentality, believing in your own vision, and focusing on potential stocks that have never been discovered by others. And seeking stability can only be peaceful development, there can be no big breakthrough, it is said that 'horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, people have no windfall and no wealth', all of this depends on your courage and insight. ”
The woman's words made Changqing ponder for a while.
Suddenly, the man bit his lip, clenched his fists tightly, and said to the woman beside him: "Let's go, let's go with me to see this world film and television and Tang Company......
