Chapter 245: It's time to watch the movie again
PS: Thank you for the monthly ticket support of the "Wild Goose Lone Fox"!
Film and television drama scripts do not have to be filmed when they are written, many of them are filmed after they are prepared. During the period when Stephen Zhao was busy writing novels and filming the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Comrade Zhan Xianjun, the director of the screenwriting studio, cooperated with his friends Guo Yang and Ji Ping to write some film and television drama scripts.
TV series, movies, micro-films, online dramas......
In addition, Zhan Xianjun also purchased some relatively excellent film and television drama scripts.
Therefore, when Stephen Zhao instructed them to take out the film and television scripts of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", Zhan Xianjun and his two friends did not react in surprise, and the two rookies Yang Qi and Qin Xiangling, who had just entered the industry, quickly became excited.
Zhao Xingchi smiled kindly, motioned for Yang Qi to sit down, and then said: "What you and Qin Xiangling have to do now is to study hard with Director Zhan, get familiar with it first, and don't rush to create." In addition, writing a script is a script, and the company does not have the idea of shooting immediately, so you have plenty of time, so improve your ability as soon as possible. ”
"Yes." Yang Qi and Qin Xiangling nodded hurriedly.
Stephen Zhao soon went out and asked the people in their screenwriting studio to hold a meeting by themselves.
And after he left, Yang Qi immediately said the question in his heart, and asked Zhan Xianjun: "Director, why did Xing Ye just ask for a TV series adaptation of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", not a movie adaptation?" ”
"Why do you care so much?" The smile on Zhan Xianjun's face suddenly retracted, stood up and walked out, and said without looking back: "Whatever the boss commands, we will do it, don't think about it, it's not good for you." ”
"......" Yang Qi was immediately depressed.
"Do you think the boss wouldn't have thought of it?" Guo Yang sneered. Then he left.
"Sao Nian, in fact, you can try to adapt "The Condor Heroes" into a movie by yourself, I am optimistic about you." Ji Ping stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a grin.
Yang Qi was speechless, and turned his head to look at Qin Xiangling, a new beautiful colleague sitting next to him. Helplessly asked, "What do you think?" ”
Qin Xiangling replied to him coldly: "You haven't learned to walk yet, you want to run?" ”
Yang Qi's face suddenly fell, and he thought, "What a hell this is, isn't there anyone who can speak well?" It doesn't have to be so weird, is that really good? Hey, it seems that Xing Ye is the most kind, this is really unscientific! ”
Where did he know that Zhao Xingchi's consideration was based on his own memory, and it was not as complicated as Zhan Xianjun and others thought.
The TV series of "The Condor Heroes" has been filmed one version after another. But the movie only has the 1982 version of Hong Kong TVB Fu Sheng, so Stephen Zhao didn't consider the film adaptation at all; The TV series of "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" has also been filmed one version after another, but its movies have also been filmed a lot.
The more famous ones are "The Decisive Battle at the Top of the Forbidden City" played by Yi Mian as "Ximen Blowing Snow" and the "Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" series of movies played by Zhang Zhilin as "Lu Xiaofeng", how many plot units, how many movies.
In terms of fame and influence, the TV series "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" will complete the TV series "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng". However, the number of fans of the TV series "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" is still very impressive, and it is also a good ratings work; Besides. The movie version also has a good number of fans, although the box office market may not be ideal. But no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat, not to mention that there is a big DVD market.
……
There is nothing to say about the filming of the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu", there are professionals, except for guiding them to improve one or two in some details, Stephen Zhao is to coordinate the normal operation of the crew. Relatively speaking. Watching the film will make Stephen Zhao find a feeling of enthusiasm.
Although the TV series has not yet been filmed, the first few episodes have been prepared, which is enough to hold a viewing party, so that major TV stations can buy it at a price.
After the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" viewing meeting, the first round of broadcast rights alone sold an episode at a high price of 2 million. It has brought more than 300 million revenue to the company, and the results are not amazing.
At that time, his fame was far less resounding than it is now, and his influence was far less than it is now. In addition, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is the first TV series he supervised, and the future is uncertain; And now "Smiling Proud Jianghu" has the popular ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and I believe that many people will have great confidence in him.
Therefore, Stephen Zhao is really looking forward to what the high price of "Smiling Proud Jianghu" can sell.
The only trouble is the government's recent "one drama, two stars" policy, which could adversely affect him.
One drama has two stars, simply put, a TV series can only be broadcast on two star channels at most at the same time, which means that the first round of broadcast rights of a TV series cannot be sold by three companies, but only one or two.
Prior to this, the mode of TV series broadcast was "4+X", that is, a TV series could be broadcast on four Shangxing channels at the same time.
Compare the two playback modes, each with its pros and cons.
However, it is an indisputable fact that one drama and two stars lead to a decrease in the number of TV stations that buy one drama at the same time.
For TV drama producers, there are two ways to create higher returns than in the past, one is to reduce the salary of actors, and the other is to increase the purchase price of TV stations, no matter what the situation is, it is not so easy.
Reduce the salary of actors, and actors don't do it.
Let the TV station pay a higher price, and the TV station will not do it.
Relatively speaking, it is still easier to reduce the salary of actors, because the producers are big financiers and big bosses that they can't offend; On the other hand, on the TV station's side, because it controls the sales channels of TV dramas, it is equivalent to choking the neck of the producer, and it is the boss of the producer, so it is easy not to offend.
Originally, there was another way: to produce a good ratings work.
However, no one is a god, so no one knows if the TV series filmed by Lu Dao will be liked by the audience when it is broadcast.
On September 5th, a little famous TV stations across the country sent their representatives to the magic capital Red Star Media Company to participate in the "Smiling Proud Jianghu" viewing party.
Xijiang TV, Dongshan TV, and Jingcheng TV, which have purchased "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", are naturally among them.
However, these three TV stations can only be a foil this time, because there is a heavyweight among the people who came: CCTV Deputy Director Long Quanquan!
CCTV and other well-known figures also came, and the two most eye-catching ones were He Fansen, the program producer and director, and the other was the beautiful host Xu Siying.
Although He Fansen is inconspicuous in the outside world, he has directed the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for many years, produced many well-known TV programs, and is a well-known figure in the industry; As for Xu Siying, her fame in Huaxia is not ordinary, she is more famous and influential than ordinary kings and queens, and she was named "the first beauty anchor in Huaxia" by the majority of netizens!
The arrival of the three people immediately caused a commotion among the crowd, and there was a lot of discussion. (To be continued......)
