When Zhang Fan followed the teacher to prepare for the art exam, "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" was successfully released on CCTV 8 in October 2004 after more than two months of post-production.

The release time coincides with the National Day holiday. Compared with the original time and space, it was released a few months later.

Xiaobing Zhang Ga had already determined that the audience would be a large number of primary and secondary school students when he was filming, and it quickly caused a ratings boom when it was released on National Day.

In 2004, most of the TV dramas filmed in the mainland were still costume dramas, which were not very popular with teenagers.

When Xiaobing was first released, only some students were watching, but many parents also joined in on the way to watching.

They also liked this brave, intelligent and righteous teenager. So I'm watching this TV with my children.

When the tenth episode was released, many TV stations had already come to negotiate with Yang Ruohan for the second and third rounds of broadcasting.

And on the day of the finale of Little Soldier, its ratings reached 5.1%

Although this rating was not the first in the ratings of the year, it has already entered the top ten.

Zhang Fan is very famous now, and many of his classmates in the class are not calling him by name, but are screaming by Gazi Gazi.

Zhang Fan was both happy and a little disappointed when he heard the names of his classmates, happy that he is now very famous, and he has taken a more important step in his acting career.

What is disappointing is that he is famous not because of how good his acting skills are, but because the role of Gazi is too likable. The audience likes Gazi, not him Zhang Fan.

Xiaobing's hit made Yang Ruohan feel that her original decision was correct, and she is now full of confidence in Mufan Pictures' big production "Family with Children".

is also a film and television drama for teenagers, "Family with Children" is more funny and joyful and close to life. There's no reason not to succeed.

When Yang Ruohan arranged market research at the end of Xiaobing's premiere, he found that many viewers were complaining that the number of episodes of Xiaobing was too small, only 20 episodes.

In fact, 20 episodes are already a lot, the plot of Xiaobing Zhang Ga is very thin, in order to shoot 20 episodes, Director Xu Geng has racked his brains, and a simple true and false commissioner has played seven or eight episodes back and forth.

Yang Ruohan, who received the news, waved his hand at the meeting and doubled "Family with Children", which was originally scheduled to be a 50-episode plot, to shoot 100 episodes.

Anyway, having children at home is a sitcom, and the main filming location is in the house, and the shooting cost is not too high.

And because it is a modern drama, you can also add some advertisements during filming, and if you plan reasonably, the cost can be recovered before it is released.

And the main test of sitcoms is the screenwriter's ability to make jokes, basically as long as the right jokes can be stuffed in.

Mufan Pictures has already accepted a lot of professional screenwriters, and it's time for them to play a role.

And Yang Ruohan also arranged for Zhang Fan to make a cameo appearance in the newly added 50 episodes: Xiaoxue's wild boyfriend Marco.

Zhang Fan thought that it wouldn't take long to make a cameo role, and he could also go to meet his younger brother Zhang Yishan and relax by the way. also agreed to make a cameo.

And when Zhang Fan went to his home to have a cameo appearance from the children's crew, Yang Ruohan reached a cooperation with Mr. Liu of Hai Yan at this time.

This time, it was Mr. Liu of Hai Yan who took the initiative to find Mufan Pictures to seek investment.

The 2005 annual meeting is the 60th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and Mr. Liu is ready to invest in the filming of an anti-Japanese war film as a tribute film.

However, Haiyu Film and Television only raised 9 million funds, and the funds were still somewhat insufficient, so they found Mufan Pictures and wanted to jointly develop and produce.

Yang Ruohan didn't want to invest in filming at first, because most of the anti-Japanese war films in 2005 were still model dramas and did not have many audiences. If you invest, you may lose money.

But thinking that this drama Hai Yan was prepared to be filmed as a tribute film, it can also be regarded as a political task, and Hai Yan also provided a lot of help in the first year of Mufan Pictures.

Just read the script and prepare to study it, she has already made a plan in her heart, even if the script provided by Hai Yan is worse, she will invest some as a favor.

Yang Ruohan has also read a lot of scripts in recent years, so he can also distinguish the quality of the script.

She opened the title page of the script brought by Mr. Liu, and the two big characters "Bright Sword" came into view.

After a rough glance, Yang Ruohan feels that this drama is different from the anti-Japanese war dramas I have seen before, and the protagonist Li Yunlong will also be foul-mouthed, and he also has shortcomings, and his image is very plump.

But thinking that this drama is an anti-Japanese war drama, I am worried that it will be blocked.

Mr. Liu seemed to see Yang Ruohan's worries, and directly said that everything had been arranged and could be broadcast.

Yang Ruohan put his mind at ease and began to discuss specific cooperation matters with Mr. Liu.

The drama was to be released in mid-2005, and the time was very tight, so it was necessary to invest in the preparation of the crew immediately.

The two did not negotiate for long before the cooperation was confirmed.

Like the first time to cooperate in the filming of "Serious Case Six Group 2", Mufan Pictures only invested in the producer. Other matters should be completed by Haiyan Film and Television.

In the end, Mufan Pictures invested 3.5 million yuan, Haiyan Film and Television invested 7.5 million yuan, and the two parties invested a total of 11 million yuan to shoot "Bright Sword".

With the investment of Mufan Pictures, the Bright Sword crew in this life should have sufficient funds, at least there should be two more cameras than the crew in the previous life. And there will be no more scenes of Li Yunlong cutting Monk Wei.

After Zhang Fan returned home, she learned from Yang Ruohan that she had invested in the crew of "Bright Sword". He was shocked, no one knew the influence of the Bright Sword better than him.

This drama is too classic, and it will still be replayed more than ten years later. role.

Zhang Fan couldn't help but open his mouth this time and wanted to ask for a role from Yang Ruohan, but the temptation of this drama was too great. Li Yunlong, political commissar, and Chu Yunfei are all classic images on the screen.

But Zhang Fan also knew that he couldn't snatch these roles from a group of old actors. These roles can only be performed by these old actors. He just wanted a supporting character with a name.

Yang Ruohan saw that his son was so moved, but he didn't agree to Zhang Fan's request, and found an excuse that the actor had been determined and started training, and it was not good to change people halfway.

She actually knew that "Bright Sword" was going to be filmed in Jinzhong, and it was filmed in winter, and she didn't want Zhang Fan to go over to find a reason, she still didn't feel that the drama "Bright Sword" would be popular.

Zhang Fan didn't know that this was Yang Ruohan's excuse, and after hearing that there was no play, he didn't force it, he thought about it, and it seemed that there was really no role suitable for him in Liangjian. I can't let him play Yamamoto Kazuki.

And Mufan Pictures' next year's drama "Family with Children" has been filmed and is getting better, and two or three episodes can be filmed a week.

It's just that the screenwriter's jokes are a little insufficient, and the screenwriter's small conference room of Mufan Pictures is always full of smoke.

In November, "Bright Sword", which was jointly invested and filmed by Mufan Pictures and Haiyu Pictures, held a start-up press conference and prepared to go to Jinzhong to start filming.

Many media are not optimistic about the two filming anti-Japanese war films, but seeing that Liu Yanming and Yang Ruohan, the founders of the two film companies in the press conference, attended the press conference, they understand that the two should be very optimistic about this project.

Most of the reporters present were newspaper reporters who were friends with the two film companies, and they didn't ask too tricky questions, but just asked some ordinary questions to end the press conference.

After the press conference, it was the end of 2004, and Yang Ruohan began to recall the development process of Mufan Pictures.

This year, after more than a year of precipitation, Mufan Pictures has completely taken root in the Beijing film and television circle with the hit of the TV series "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" and the award of the movie "Blind Well".

Although it can't be compared with Huayi and Bona, it is already similar to the sugar man in Huhai

scale up.

Next year, 2005 will be the year of the explosion of Mufan Pictures, and she feels that "Family with Children" is likely to win the ratings championship that year.

This is obviously Yang Ruohan's fantasy, she doesn't know how terrifying the TV series will be next year.

2005 can be described as a year of outbreak of mainland TV dramas, anti-Japanese war dramas such as "Bright Sword", historical dramas such as "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" and "Da Song Ti Criminal Officer", Xianxia dramas such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I" and "Baolian Lantern", martial arts dramas such as "The First in the World" and "The Legend of Jiang Yuyan", and the sitcom "Family with Children" produced by Mufan Pictures.

Next year's mainland TV drama market will be a year of competition, and this kind of scene of high-quality TV dramas will not appear again in the next ten years.
