Chapter 195: Happy Up
When the director filmed the TV series and played an important role, Wang Yang's life was extremely busy in the past two months, but fortunately, after Hongyue was transferred to the chief financial officer of the group, her time was also very relaxed, so she went to the crew to help.
With his wife as the director's assistant, Wang Yang doesn't have to worry about many things, and his work rhythm has gradually entered a stable state.
It has been 54 days since the start of "Step by Step", and the filming scenes have shifted from indoor dialogues to outdoor scenes, and almost half of the resources of the entire group are busy for Wang Yang's TV series.
"Card, call it a day, take a break in the afternoon, and collectively transfer to Hi Hengdian tomorrow."
Yanjing's scenes are still mainly large-scale scenes such as imperial tombs, palaces, palaces, and horseback riding, and the filming in the first two months is the most difficult, but as for the next two months, it is very easy.
Wang Yang is different from other directors, he likes to be difficult first and then easy, so the actors have all kinds of hard work, and when they arrived in Shanghi Hengdian, they found that the director not only became less serious, but also had some fun.
For example, after arriving at Shanghi, the crew made a fuss about taking pictures casually, including the director who also brought his pets to the crew.
They were also very fortunate to meet million-dollar Brother Tiger, Sister Leopard, and two Savannah cats.
Similarly, the schnauzer that Hongyue received from Liu Yifei's house, a competition-level gray schnauzer, medium height, is only about thirty centimeters long now, and its height is only a dozen centimeters, but it has been two months old, and it can also be played around in the crew.
This schnauzer was named "Coco" by Red Moon. It's a male dog.
Every day in Hengdian. You can see two big cats that look like slender dogs. led a dog the size of a cat and jumped up and down in the crew.
Almost all the actors have left a lot of photos and tidbits with the three pets, and similarly, these stills have naturally been placed on WeChat and Weibo in advance. blogs and post bars, expose and publicize to increase netizens' expectations for this TV series.
"Wow. I didn't expect the costume photos of Yang God to be so handsome. ”
"Brother Tiger and Sister Leopard are so eye-catching, it seems that there is such a cool big leopard cat."
"Oh my God, the first wen of my little poetry was actually taken away by Brother Hu......"
After these stills and photos were exposed, they naturally caused a great response on the Internet, and the shocking exposure rate and search rate were naturally greatly improved.
The actors are shooting very easily, but director Wang Yang often wanders around and has no trace, he filmed most of his scenes in the first two months, and the later ones are some reshoots, and the use of tailoring technology, a lot of multi-faceted use of shots. In fact, it is inconspicuous to ordinary audiences.
To give the simplest example, it is the sequel to Journey to the West. is a very bullish TV series, a fight scene in this TV series can basically be used more than a dozen times, in one episode, all of them are this kind of fight scenes, and finally got thirty episodes, which can be described as infinitely challenging the limits of the audience.
Wang Yang's "Step by Step" is naturally better, and the total investment in the plan is 20 million, but now it has cost 15 million, so basically when the production is completed, it will definitely reach 30 million.
A TV series can cost so much, in fact, it is already very well-made, especially if you are a newcomer to the actor.
In "Step by Step", almost the entire crew has a large number of cameos in it.
To put it simply, there are more than 100 crew members, almost more than 30, who starred in hundreds of plots with dialogues.
Wang Yang himself, in fact, in addition to playing the male pig's foot, he also made a cameo appearance in several supporting roles.
Anyway, if netizens don't carefully dig into it one shot at a time, they will never find that it is full of all kinds of easter egg shots.
Now Wang Yang is staying in Shanghi Film Studio, communicating with a veteran martial arts tailoring director in the studio.
Movies shot digitally are naturally produced on computers, with a lot of materials and shots, and Xingchi Group has also begun to purchase shooting equipment.
The equipment used for filming is very luxurious and expensive, and it can be said that a photography machine cannot move for several millions, so it can be said that it is generally rented.
However, Xingchi Group has now expanded its business, and it is okay to buy it yourself, then shoot it when you need it, and rent it out when you don't need it.
The two cameras used in this step-by-step are both customized from magnesium countries, the price is millions of dollars, the shooting effect is very good, and the most important thing is that in the post-production, a lot of processing and rendering are much better than some ordinary ones used before.
Nowadays, digital technology is developed, and there are cameras of thousands of yuan, tens of thousands of yuan, and hundreds of thousands of yuan, in fact, good cameras may not be able to make good movies.
Including in Huaxia, there are also tens of millions of dollars in cameras, and tens of millions of box office movies have been shot.
However, these movies are characterized by comedy, horror movies.
There is no doubt that the genre of comedy and horror movies is destined to be small budget and high box office.
But martial arts and science fiction, are there any such works?
Not to mention, Wang Yang really remembers a lot.
For example, the martial arts story, this man is from the earth? Ghost Record?
Wang Yang still put away his mind temporarily, and then he finished "Step by Step", and then he said that other works were plagiarized slowly, and there was no need to rush.

"Director Wang, I heard that the first ten episodes of Step by Step Thrilling have been produced, Director Wang, we are on Hi Satellite TV, ......"
"Director Wang, our Yanjing TV ......"
At the end of September, Wang Yang cut out the content of the first 10 episodes of the shocking step-by-step, and he and TM videos, as well as all the employees of Xingchi Group, watched them again. I think it's very good-looking. After getting 100% praise. I was ready to choose a TV station for cooperation.
The current TV series are all in the premiere mode of TV station + network.
TV stations and the Internet are completely different markets, but the platform for online broadcasting has already chosen the platform before the start of filming and producing this TV series, which is the TM video platform.
As for the cooperation of the TV station, it depends on the next negotiation with the TV station.
"We are willing to bid 200,000 yuan for an episode to buy the premiere rights."
"Yanjing TV bids 250,000 yuan for an episode!"
"Zhejiang Gong Satellite TV bid 280,000 episodes!"
"Shanghi Satellite TV bid 300,000!"
After several rounds of offers from various TV stations at the end of the month. Wang Yang finally chose to go to Hi Satellite TV, and the price was 300,000 per episode.
300,000 episodes, a total of 40 episodes, currently there are only 10 episodes, so Shanghi Satellite TV paid 1 million first and got 10 episodes of content, as for the remaining 2 million, it is the final payment.
There are 30 more episodes to come.
Anyway, there are a total of 40 episodes, and the first broadcast has a total income of 12 million.
TM Video Network premiere. The price of one episode is 200,000 yuan, so the total income is 8 million.
Count it up. There are only 20 million copies in total.
However, these are the prices offered in the case of general ratings, once the ratings are higher later, Wang Yang pinched the content, basically wanted to raise the price, or the price during the second round of broadcasting, it could be very high.
"Step by Step" is getting closer and closer to the day of its premiere, and Wang Yang and his friends are on micro. Bo and WeChat have increased the promotion of TV dramas.
And he naturally started to participate in some variety shows to promote it.
"Happy Up" is a very popular program on Hunan Satellite TV, the host is Wang Han, He Jiong, Xie Na, Ou Di, Du Hai, Wu Xi Six hosts, this variety show has opened up a new trend, not only interactive interviews, but also a variety of fun games.
The ratings of the show in China are very high, and not every movie and TV series can be on this show.
Hunan Satellite TV is generally self-made TV series, and it is also a TV series of various types, in the past five years, Hunan has had hot TV series come out every year, such as TV series that purchase copyrights are extremely rare.
However, this time, after Wang Yang gave the first 10 episodes of "Step by Step" to Mango, Mango's leaders decided to buy the right to broadcast the TV series after watching the TV series.
In the end, Mango bought the copyright of "Step by Step" at a price of 150,000 episodes, and in this way, another 9 million yuan of copyright was credited to the account, a total of 29 million.
In fact, at this point, "Step by Step" signed another contract, which is the company's pure profit, and it is a lot of money, because once the TV series is on the air, the group of actors signed by Xingchi Group this time have the value of training.
……
……
Backstage in the recording hall of the Happy Up Program.
Wang Yang brought Xiaoshi, Zheng Jia, Yuan Hong, Lin Xin, Liu Song, and a group of people came.
The day before yesterday, they had already had a dress rehearsal, and today is the official recording.
So, in fact, they are very clear about the whole process.
The first process is the appearance of their host, this time the theme is an interview with Wang Yang and "Step by Step", the theme is the recent hot word "crossing".
The concept of time travel is no longer a secret, because from the first day of the upload of "Step by Step", people have their souls to another ancient person because of an accident, and this kind of novel that travels through ancient times is almost synchronous.
Among the novels of the female frequency, almost ninety percent of the new books began to write about ancient time.
Qing Piercing is the hottest and most popular novel at the moment, among which the word Gong Dou has also become the mainstream hot word of this year's novels.
Passing through the wind and fire quickly, such a novel looks very good, but "Step by Step" is a novel of a heroine, and it is also a scene of polyamory with the prince and brother who go back to the past, women are naturally very cool to watch, but men are naturally very unhappy when they watch this TV series, including novels.
Therefore, male frequency novels about crossing also began to be born.
For example, "Bang Qing" and "Tang Dynasty" are historical novels that travel through ancient times.
There are also ancient workplace novels such as "The God of Kitchen in the Tang Dynasty".
There is also a cross-over fanfic martial arts like "Save Datang MM".
and a series of rebirth to various martial arts classic novels, using the vision of modern people to portray and reshape the classics.
Almost when the golden finger of crossing and rebirth came out, Internet literature suddenly entered the contention of a hundred schools of thought, and it became popular all of a sudden.
"Step by Step", which is named Hongyue, has attracted much attention at once, in which she said on the Internet that the outline of this novel was provided by Wang Yang without consulting Wang Yang in advance.
Although Hongyue said so, she was still honored by netizens as "Senior Sister of the Crossing Ancestor" and "the first person to wear novels".
And Wang Yang has also obtained a "originator of crossing rebirth flow".

……
"The guest we are going to interview today is the famous writer, Wang Yang, today he brings the recent much-discussed TV series "Step by Step" to meet you and welcome them!"
"Teacher Wang, Teacher He."
Wang Yang took everyone to the stage, and everyone stood up and began to introduce themselves.
The first introduction is naturally from the least famous.
"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Song, and I play Kangxi."
As he spoke, the VCR behind him began to play.
Liu Song is a famous actor in Xiangjiang, in fact, he is not a newcomer, but it is the first time to cooperate in the mainland, and he accepts that the salary of this TV series is not high, with 50,000 yuan for one episode, and a total of 2 million yuan.
As a veteran actor in his fifties, his performance in "Step by Step" is also very good, after all, he played Emperor Kangxi.
However, Kangxi is just an important supporting role.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Xin, and I play the tenth elder brother."
"Hello everyone, my name is Yuan Hong, and I play the thirteenth elder brother."
"Hello everyone, my name is Zheng Jia, and this time I am the eighth elder brother."
"Hello everyone, my name is Liu Shishi, and I play the heroine Gegmaltai. Ruoxi, and urban white-collar Zhang Xiao. ”
Finally, it was Wang Yang's turn to introduce himself, and he smiled: "Hello everyone, I am Wang Yang, the director and starring fourth elder brother." ”
"Okay, Director Wang, this is the first time to come to us to be happy and uplifting, how do you feel?"
"It's fun and relaxing."
"Of course, there are a lot of people in our show!" He Jiong smiled.
"That's right, six hosts, a lot of people." The chubby Du Hai said.
(ha...... The audience laughed, there was no way, they could laugh just by looking at Fat Duhai.
At the beginning of the happy upward program, it was all about some crew things and some personal experiences, but when it came to the group PK game in the middle link, the interactive link was very joyful.
For example: talking the opposite, having a heart, idiom solitaire, each issue is still uncertain, so that the audience is quite happy to watch the stars make games. (To be continued......)
PS: Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a tip, ask for a tip. Really, asking for a reward, the money for the manuscript fee is not enough for the author to pay the electricity bill, and writing this novel is really no different from free...... The author really has no income, two or three hundred yuan at most...... It takes an hour or two a day to earn a few dollars, and it's really not easy for me to go to LOL and ask for a reward
