Chapter 116: Dare to ask where the road is

A two-hour episode of "Journey to the West" has premiered!

The CCTV control room was boiling.

Despite being the boss, despite being able to win the first place in the ratings all year round.

Although everyone is used to seeing big scenes.

But the real-time data of the premiere of "Journey to the West" still scares everyone!

"The peak of the ratings is in this section when Sun Wukong goes to sea to find immortals! It's almost more than 10%! ”

"At present, all the feedback from major platforms is praised!"

"A lot of advertisers are already reaching out to us, saying they want to increase their size!"

"The production of "Journey to the West" is really top, I have been in the industry for so many years, I have really never seen this kind of TV series! No, this kind of production can't be considered a TV series anymore! Cinematic level is more than that! ”

"Look at the ratings data tomorrow, what kind of effect will it be, but judging from the current situation, it is only a matter of time before this TV series becomes a big hit!"

The professionals of CCTV are very boiling, let alone ordinary viewers?

The official Weibo of the "Journey to the West" TV series has been occupied by countless tap water.

"It's so pretty! Cinematic graphics, scheduling! Over the years, the progress of the party leader in Yuancheng is obvious to all! ”

"Hahaha! You can shoot every drama at your disposal, and you can spend as much money as you want. In the words of our immortal cultivation world, a huge amount of cultivation resources will be piled up for you, even if you are a pig, they will be fed to you until you ascend! ”

"I'm going to cry! This is really the monkey in my heart! ”

"Yuan Cheng is so conscientious in making TV series! In the future, as long as it is produced by Yuancheng, I must watch it! ”

"Almost half of the entire 2-hour first episode was filmed on location across the country, right? That's a lot of money!? ”

"Yuan Cheng is awesome! Qi Yuan is awesome! ”

"I have to say that the original work of "Journey to the West" itself is already very awesome, I didn't expect that the TV series can be so awesome!!"

"No way, "Journey to the West" is Qi Yuan's own son after all, he is willing to spend a lot of money, if it is handed over to another company to shoot, maybe half of the current effect will not be achieved, right?"

"I heard that Qi Yuan gave the copyright of "Condor" to Tianhao, and now I am starting to worry about the production of "Condor"! Woooooo ”

""Journey to the West" does look like it spent 500 million on special effects! The details are full, and they can't be fuller! ”

……

The whole network is boiling.

Such a TV series appeared in the history of China.

It's unprecedented.

With such a super big production, the production budget of the entire TV series is burning.

And the most important thing is that there is no traffic for small fresh meat to come in and take away a large amount of performance costs, which makes the production costs of this play's external publicity basically used on the blade!

Such a TV series, as long as anyone who has watched a few Chinese TV series, can see how top-notch its production is!

Moreover, there is a particularly important place in this play.

That is, it can be linked!

Because "Baolian Lantern" and "Journey to the West" are both produced by Yuan Cheng.

Therefore, many of the characters in it, such as Yang Jian, such as the Jade Emperor, such as Sun Wukong, such as Zhu Bajie Chang'e, etc., are the same as the actors of "Baolian Lantern".

This gives the audience a very intimate and authentic feeling.

It's as if there really is such a mythical world!

An hour after the broadcast of "Journey to the West".

directly appeared on the hot search of major platforms on the whole network.

On the homepage of Weibo, half of the hot topics are all about Journey to the West.

"Journey to the West, is it really something we can watch for free"? 》

"I'm willing to spend 200 yuan to unlock the next episodes!" 》

"Three minutes to take stock of the old drama bones in "Journey to the West" for you! 》

The relationship between "Journey to the West and Baolian Lantern"! 》

How expensive is the production cost of "Journey to the West"! 》

"How good are the theme songs and ending songs of the beginning of Journey to the West! 》

Zhihu.

The first topic is, "Is there a professional to analyze how the special effects of "Journey to the West" are made? It's so real, it's so shocking! ”

The answer at the top of the list is a person who is certified as the "chief coder of the dazzling special effects company".

He replied, "Thank you friends for the invitation." 80% of the special effects shots of "Journey to the West" are made by our company. Let's put it this way, this time, it's the richest battle we've ever fought! Yuan Cheng, as our father of Party A's financier, is really the most spendable person I have ever seen! Take the short thirteen-second shot of the birth of the Monkey King at the beginning. Our 50 million-level rendering engine, turned on at full power, burned 35 million, and completed the ultimate picture of 13 seconds! ”

"it!!"

"Horizontal Groove Groove !!"

"13 seconds! 35 million!! Oh my god!! ”

"Really, is it really something we can watch for free with such a TV series? That's awesome, isn't it? ”

"Qi Yuan is really big on his children! Hahaha, but! Please come a little more! ”

"This is the person who makes TV dramas with heart! Look at how many traffic dramas are there on the market? said that the production cost was 100 million, but in fact, the traffic took 80 million! ”

"I will always support Yuan Cheng! Looking forward to the plot behind "Journey to the West", I hope that the future of Yuancheng Film and Television will get better and better! ”

The second topic is about the music of "Journey to the West".

"How do you evaluate the opening song of "Journey to the West" "Cloud Palace Xunyin"?"

The first reply was from a music producer who was certified as "only loves folk music".

"Qi Yuan's "Cloud Palace Xunyin" is simply beyond my imagination! I really didn't expect that electronic music and folk music could be so combined, seamless, just perfect! I won't go into details about how rich its melody is, but I believe that as long as you are not blind, you should be able to hear it.

I'll just talk about this song "Cloud Palace Xunyin", its melody direction and plot are too compatible! I think many people actually have such a problem when listening to songs.

That's a song, and its melody alone, or its words alone, are very good works. But after the two are combined, you will find that there is actually some incompatibility between the two, and they are not compatible enough. It's like a guy who wears size 40 shoes and gives him a pair of size 37 shoes, which is very inappropriate.

But "Cloud Palace Xunyin" is not like this, its whole melody direction, and our plot, is so perfectly matched, in my mind now, as soon as the music of 'Hoo Kick Kick' sounds, it is the picture of the birth of the Monkey King! ”

The second highlighted answer was a musician from the Yuancheng Film and Television Music Department.

"Haha, I witnessed my boss make this song in the recording studio! I've heard it countless times before you have heard it! The boss's musical talent, I can only describe it as 'god'! I can't find another adjective, and no other adjective is worthy! ”

"I haven't had time to watch the first episode of "Journey to the West" because of overtime, but I listened to "Cloud Palace Xunyin" and "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" on the way home, which are really good music! At the moment, my mind is full of pictures of monkeys turning over rivers and seas, so I'll update this answer when I go back and watch the first episode! ”

The musician who is certified as Jiao Wenfang also answered below.

"Everybody is talking about music, so I'll talk about the lyrics. "Dare to ask where the road is", the lyrics of this song are very interesting, you carry the burden, I lead the horse...... I believe that as long as you have read the original work of "Journey to the West", you will smile when you hear this song. It's really amazing! Qi Yuan, from the beginning of "The Strongest Singer-Songwriter", I knew that this kid was not a thing in the pool. But in the past few years, I have to admit that his talent and ability in music are much stronger than mine! ”

The hit of "Journey to the West" has finally begun.

The second episode will continue the next day!

The monkey has returned!

Enter the underworld, change the book of life and death, enter the Dragon Palace, and take the Poseidon Needle!

Then there is the havoc in the Heavenly Palace!

This episode can be described as the most explosive episode of funding!

The sky is full of immortals, towering among the clouds, and the monkeys are fighting in the dark!

Every second, it's money!!

If you say the first episode, it may be that the special effects of the Monkey King are full, and then some small special effects are combined.

Then the entire second episode, whether it is the picture or the special effects, is even higher than the first episode!

After all, this is a battle between the gods and the monkeys!!

If you don't use the magic to shake a little, don't splash blood a little, don't be majestic, don't make the scene lively, what is it called making trouble in the Heavenly Palace!

In the second episode, the audience directly climaxed!

"I have a showdown, I have never seen such an awesome TV series in my life! Never!! ”

"It's really money burning in every frame! I'm curious now, is the production cost of 500 million enough!! ”

"In this second episode, I'm afraid it will take 100 million, right?"

"The second episode directly fills the grade and style of "Journey to the West"!"

"I'm already worried about other film and television companies, there was no Journey to the West before, and they can promote their big productions as much as they want. But now that a "Journey to the West" of this grade has come out, who would dare to advertise itself as a big production? That's what a big production is! ”

"In fact, it is very simple to choose a TV series to watch, you just look at the starring role, whether there are traffic stars, and you will know what is going on with this drama!"

"It's not the traffic-oriented era of the past few years! Now the necessary TV series must be attentive, and the audience will pay for it! You're not blind! ”

"Journey to the West" can be described as a double harvest of word-of-mouth ratings.

And "Jiang Ziya" is not lagging behind.

On the first day of release, it won a box office of 290 million, ranking second in the Spring Festival stalls!

It is only behind the 3D sci-fi blockbuster "Fantasy Day" produced by Shenji Technology.

And its reputation also fermented rapidly after the end of the first day!

"After watching "Jiang Ziya", we can all rest assured! Yuancheng Film and Television's Fengshen Universe has been half built! ”

"Nezha and Yang Jian are still appearing in "Journey to the West", why didn't Jiang Ziya see anyone? Could it be that in the war of the gods, sacrificed? ”

"The official has long said that the War of the Gods took place during the period of King Wu's war, and Sun Wukong was already in the Tang Dynasty, how many years have there been between them!"

On the second day of its release, "Jiang Ziya" won a box office of 276 million, and the cumulative box office has exceeded 500 million!

According to the current time, there is a high probability of winning more than 1.5 billion box office in the end.

At night.

Qi Yuan had just put his daughter to sleep when his mobile phone vibrated wildly.

It turned out that the employees in "Fengshen Universe Production Group" were all @Qi Yuan!

"Boss, "Jiang Ziya" is a big hit! Our prize money this year!? ”

"Haha, the year-end bonus has just been issued, and this year's bonus? You have to ask, boss, the bonus of our project? ”

"Boss, come out!"

"Boss Qi, the box office is about to break 600 million!"

Qi Yuan typed with a smile: "Don't worry, the bread will be there." ”

Then a big red envelope was sent.

Gu Hongli is also in this group, but he has never spoken.

Seeing Qi Yuan sending out a red envelope, she also grabbed it, but she was the first in luck, and happily rolled twice on the bed!

"The first issue of "Sister's La La Land" has been launched, don't you see it?" She asked, leaning back on the bed.

Qi Yuan said: "Look at it first, isn't it that I'm picking up a few of you aunts and grandmothers at the beginning!" ”

Gu Hongli pouted and opened the tablet by himself.

In fact, she rarely watches the TV series and variety shows she plays by herself.

But it's different with Qi Yuan.

The two of them nestled together on the bed, leaning against each other, holding a tablet in their hands, and having wine at hand at hand.

It's best if it's still raining lightly outside the house, and the whole air is cold and gloomy.

It's really comfortable.

"Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" has been over for several months.

The seven sisters in the group are not newcomers who really debuted on this show.

So for so long, there has been basically no combined activity.

It wasn't until this group variety show "Sister's La La Land" that it attracted the public's attention again.

"It's finally on the air!"

"Hey! has been talking about a group variety show since the end of the show, and after so long, it has finally started broadcasting! ”

"Haha, in the middle of this, Wang Can has even finished filming the movie, and it has been released!"

The whole first issue is basically the sisters meeting, and then the final climax is the picture of everyone singing together at the concert of ordinary people in the Western Capital.

After the game.

"After watching the show, it's actually pretty good, and the pace is relatively slow. But how to put it, it's decent, there are no special highlights, but it's not particularly ugly. ”

"I think it's very good, the seven sisters are just sitting there chatting, and I can watch it for a year!"

"It's still very good! Qi Yuan's sense of variety shows is really amazing, and I look forward to Qi Yuan having a variety show as a resident guest! It's been a long time since I've seen him do variety shows! ”

"Looking forward to Qi Yuan +1! In the past two years, Qi Yuan has mainly written books and filmed films, and variety shows can't do without Qi Yuan! ”

"There is a particularly strange phenomenon, in fact, many artists, after participating in more variety shows, very much affected his influence on him on the screen, but I don't know why, this matter, here in Qi Yuan, is the same as nothing!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Qi Yuan participated in Yang Jian's last film, although it seems that he has produced a lot of works, but in fact, he didn't show his face! ”

"Sister's La La Land" is still broadcast exclusively on Yuancheng Video.

After last year's brutal growth, Yuancheng Video successfully ranked among the three major videos.

There is even a faint trend of one of the four major video platforms.

This is a very good phenomenon.

The fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

More than a dozen backbones of the company were called to the company by Qi Yuan.

"What are your goals for this year?"

These are a few big words on the ppt.

The backbones are all holding pens and ready to take notes carefully.

Qi Yuan, this is the strategic direction to be laid out this year.

"If you have any ideas, tell us." Qi Yuan was the first to speak.

Guan Dai, as the person in charge of Yuancheng Film and Television, was the first to speak:

"Our biggest advantage is actually our variety show. As for TV series, at the moment, there is not much difference between us and other platforms. In terms of variety shows, we have "Longing for Life", "The Voice of China", "All Running Away", "Sister" and "Brother" related derivative variety shows, as well as the ongoing broadcast of "Escape Room", which are all broadcast by us, and they are also the most attractive places for users.

So I think we should dig deep in variety shows! ”

Qi Yuan nodded: "Not bad." Our direction this year is variety shows! ”

Hu Dajing knocked on the table and frowned: "The content of the current variety shows is a little weak, and our variety show department has made it ourselves, and "Escape Room" can be regarded as a big hit." If it weren't for the boss's "Sister" and "Brother", ......"

"It's okay, our talents have to be cultivated slowly." ”

Then several people looked at Qi Yuan.

"What are you looking at me for?" Qi Yuan picked up the teacup and drank tea tactically.

Guan Dai: "Boss, you haven't been out of a variety show for a long time!" ”

Hu Dajing: "Yes! Look at how popular "Sister" and "Brother" are, you haven't had any new inspiration lately? ”

A person in charge: "Boss, it's up to you whether we can enter the first-line video platform or not!" ”

Qi Yuan smiled: "I'll do everything, what's the use of you?" ”

Everyone laughed together.

Qi Yuan continued: "In fact, judging from the data, the audience still likes to watch relaxed fast comprehensives. ”

The crowd nodded.

Because of the creation of "The Great Escape Room", Xiaoyi, who can sit here today, finally spoke weakly: "Leader, I think young people like this type of "Escape Room" still like it very much, we can dig deeper from this direction." ”

Hu Dajing: "It's really possible, I think it's okay to escape games." For example, the guests were chased and killed, and they fled all the way. ”

Qi Yuan said: "This idea is a bit interesting, this is a topic, come down and study it carefully." ”

Good weekend: "Is it possible to do a variety show to solve the case?" ”

Qi Yuan took a good look at the weekend.

"A variety show to solve the case?" Guan Dai thought for a while, "Find some screenwriters to write the case, and then let the guests solve the case?" It's hard to define! ”

"It doesn't seem to be very feasible. This type, once the direction is wrong, can be ugly when you end up getting it out. ”

Qi Yuan said: "I think it's okay." In fact, you see, we have been doing variety shows for so many years, what do you think is the most important? ”

"Content form?"

Qi Yuan: "The most important thing is actually people. As long as our guests are well selected and each episode of the show can contribute enough laughs, then the format of the show is not so important. ”

Everyone nodded, deeply convinced.

The meeting ended, three days later.

Hu Dajing got a variety show planning book called "Star Detective" given to her by Qi Yuan.
