Chapter 444: The Contest between the Two Directors
The next day. The viewing groups of each David TV got up at 8 o'clock in the morning and continued to watch the film. In order to speed up the progress, Jiang Minghe divided the viewing group into two groups.
The first group continued to watch "Langya Bang" as originally planned. The second group is on the laptop, using multiple playback and fast forwarding, to watch episodes 30 to 54 of the Langya list quickly.
For the film viewing group, when catching up with the schedule, it will occasionally use multiple playback to speed up the progress.
Of course, multiple playback can only give a general understanding of the plot, and the details of the episode must not be watched carefully enough.
However, the film group has analyzed the first ten episodes of "Langya Bang", and the overall evaluation is very high. What needs to be determined now is whether the later episodes will collapse.
If you just want to determine if the quality of the second half has decreased, it is enough to do it in the way of multiplier playback and fast forwarding.
When it was time for lunch, the viewing group of Xiangjiang Satellite TV took the initiative to ask to watch it while eating, without a break at noon.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon. The second group of the film group has watched the last 24 episodes of "Langya Bang" in a fast-forward way, and then reported to Jiang Minghe together.
"How? Is the quality of the later episodes okay? Zhou Qilei, you say it first. Jiang Minghe was very impressed with Zhou Qilei last night, so he asked him to say it by name.
Zhou Qilei gave a thumbs up and said: "I'm sure I'm going to increase the score from 8.5 to 9.0, although it's fast-forwarding, it still feels exciting."
"In the exciting part, we will turn back to the original speed to watch, it is just an explosion of acting.
"I was even a fan of several actors who played villains, although I knew that they had done evil things, but the actors performed too well.
"Especially Ding Hongshan, this role is too suitable for him, which makes people hate itchy, but I feel that Emperor Daliang should be like him." Jiang Minghe looked at the rest of the people and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"We just watched and discussed it, and we all had the same opinion, the more this drama goes to the back, the better it looks, and after the broadcast, we will definitely watch it again."
"I'm going to take my friends to watch it again, the quality is too high, I feel that this drama has the strength to win awards." Jiang Minghe looked at the leader of the second group and said, "Make a rating statistic for the last 24 episodes." "The second group of the film group began to fill in the score sheet, and after the statistics, the score was higher than last night, reaching 9.15 points.
In the morning, the group watched 8 episodes again. In other words, the film group has watched the first third and the last third of "Langya Bang", and only the middle dozen episodes have not been watched.
Both groups gave a rating of more than 9 points. It's all come to this extent, will the remaining dozen episodes in the middle still collapse?
This is all too unlikely. Jiang Minghe knew it was time to make a move, and no matter how slow he was, he might not be able to catch up.
He stood up and asked the viewing group to continue, then walked out of the screening room, took out his mobile phone and began to call Fang Xing's private mobile phone.
It's just that there is a prompt sound on the phone that the other party is busy. Jiang Minghe hurriedly redialed the number and called Qiao Yinghong.
"Huh! Mr. Qiao, when will we make an appointment with Mr. Fang and talk about the premiere? Jiang Minghe walked to the rest area of the cinema while talking on the phone: "I'm free, I'm free at any time, and I'll ...... it today" When he was talking on the phone, he walked into the rest area and happened to see Wei Shurong, the deputy director of Dragon TV, leaning on the guardrail in the rest area to talk on the phone: "Director Fang, it's okay to record the episode slowly, let's have tea in the afternoon." Jiang Minghe heard Wei Shurong's voice on the phone, his footsteps suddenly froze, with a strange expression on his face, and said in his heart: I couldn't get through Fang Xing's phone just now, and my feelings are that you are a busy person.
Since the starlight cinema has not officially opened, there are no customers, and the rest area is empty and quiet.
Wei Shurong heard footsteps behind him, glanced back, and saw that it was Jiang Minghe. The two looked at each other and were stunned at the same time.
After being stunned for half a second, the two turned their heads at the same time, walked in opposite directions, and continued to talk on the phone where no one was.
Jiang Minghe's tone became eager: "Mr. Qiao, where is your boss now?" I'll go there in person, no need to make an appointment, I'll go to him. Yes, right now. "The other side.
Wei Shurong seemed to have anticipated his opponent's movements: "Brother Fang, come out and have some tea." Don't even have time for tea? Okay, then I'll go look for you. Of course, I care about you, don't get tired. Suitable, suitable, how not suitable? Was it recorded on Turquoise Records? Okay, I'll go over now. Wei Shurong finished the phone, left the studio first, took a taxi, and didn't bring anyone, and went directly to Songshi Records.
The other side. Jiang Minghe's speed was also very fast, and after asking Fang Xing's location, he immediately went downstairs and took a taxi to rush over.
…… Turquoise Records Recording Studio. Fang Xing is training Shen Xiyin to sing "Red Face Old". This song is an episode of "Langya Bang", and it needs a female voice to sing.
After considering the voices of several singers in its subsidiary, it was finally decided to let Shen Xiyin try. Shen Xiyin practiced this song very well, but Fang Xing's requirements for vocal music were too much higher than the average level in the pop music world, so he was still adjusting Shen Xiyin's singing style.
This song has been recorded for two days, and it has been almost recorded, and now it is picking out the details. At three o'clock in the afternoon.
The front desk of Songshi Records led Wei Shurong to the outside of the recording studio.
"Director so fast?" Fang Xing was a little surprised, at first he heard the other party ask about his location, but he didn't expect him to really come over so quickly.
"Let's go out and find a place to have a cup of tea." Wei Shurong walked up and put his arm around Fang Xing's shoulders and walked out.
"Okay. You finish it and start working on the post-production. The recording was basically completed, and after Fang Xing arranged the post-production, he left with Wei Shurong.
The two took the elevator to the downstairs of the office building. Fang Xing didn't bother to go anywhere else, so he was going to chat in the café downstairs of the office building.
The two walked towards the café. At this time. Another taxi stopped in front of the door, and when Jiang Minghe got out of the car, he saw Wei Shurong holding Fang Xing's shoulders and walking towards the café.
"Okay, you Wei Shurong!" Jiang Minghe hurriedly followed. Fang Xing and Wei Shurong sat down and ordered a drink.
Fang Xing ordered an extra croissant, ready to use it to fill his stomach: "Do you want to eat it?" Wei Shurong waved his hand and said, "No, I've eaten it." "At this time.
Jiang Minghe pulled out a chair, sat down next to the two, and said, "I didn't eat, I'll have a croissant too." Wei Shurong saw Jiang Minghe sit down, and his eyes suddenly widened.
The atmosphere instantly became very subtle. Fang Xing saw the expressions of the two and felt very funny. They didn't need to open their mouths, Fang Xing knew what they wanted to talk about.
The "Langya Bang" viewing group has been going on to the second day. According to the progress, several TV stations should have seen half of it.
With the quality of "Langya Bang", the competition between TV stations will only become more and more intense. Moreover, these provincial satellite TV stations are also afraid that CCTV will join in, and the competition will be more difficult at that time.
"Director Wei, you are still shrewd, and you took Fang Xing away directly. If I hadn't bumped into it, I'd have pounced. Jiang Minghe said in a strange way.
"What is Director Jiang talking about? I just woke up with Fang and had something to drink. Wei Shurong snorted, pretending not to understand the meaning of his words.
When I was talking. Coffee, lemon tea and croissants from the waiter. Fang Xing didn't say anything polite to the two directors, picked up the croissant and ate it by himself.
After filling his stomach, Fang Xing wiped his hands with a tissue, and then said: "The two directors don't need to be in such a hurry, the film will last for five days, and after everyone has finished watching it, it's not too late to talk about the premiere." Jiang Minghe and Wei Shurong stared wide-eyed, wanting to speak, but they didn't want to be heard by the other party.
In fact, Jiang Minghe's original idea was to come over and grab Fang Xing, directly open a high price, and set "Langya Bang" as soon as possible.
According to the evaluation of the current film group, this drama is likely to be another drama king. In the film and television industry, although there are occasional pearls left in the sea, the viewing groups of each David TV are professional, and there are very few cases of looking away.
What's more, "Langya Bang" has the golden sign of Ark Culture, and the possibility of ratings hitting the street is very small.
Therefore, Jiang Minghe dared to directly offer a price at the level of a drama king.
"Director Fang, this drama was filmed by the original cast of "The Pretender", and "The Pretender" was broadcast on Xiangjiang Satellite TV. This time, "Langya Bang" has an audience base on Xiangjiang Satellite TV, and the broadcast results will definitely be better. Jiang Minghe didn't care so much, and directly started fighting.
Wei Shurong's face sank and said: "The drama of Ark Culture is broadcast the most on our East China Sea Satellite TV. Moreover, I guarantee that one week before the start of the broadcast of "Langya Bang", sufficient previews will be placed in the prime time of satellite TV to ensure that the ratings of the broadcast will rush up. "Didi...... The message ringtone of the phone is ringing again.
Fang Xing picked it up, glanced at it, and then raised it up and said to the two directors: "Look, Jiangnan Satellite TV and Kyoto Satellite TV also said that they want to have dinner, who I am eating with now, and it is not appropriate to eat with anyone."
"I think it's better to wait until the end of the film viewing session and then talk slowly." As soon as the words fell, another message came.
The information is Qiao Ying's red hair, and the content of the information is that Li Changhong, deputy director of the CCTV TV drama channel, has an appointment for dinner.
Before Fang Xing put the phone down, Wei Shurong and Jiang Minghe both glanced at this message and saw the name Li Changhong.
Who is Changhong Li? Both work in TV stations, how could these two not know? The two of them chuckled in their hearts at the same time, and said in their hearts: Could it be that CCTV also wants "Langya Bang"?
Jiang Minghe and Wei Shurong refused to leave. The atmosphere of the three people is delicate, no matter how they are grouped, there is a third person, which makes it inconvenient to speak.
Fang Xing saw that Jiang Minghe hadn't eaten the croissant yet, so he stretched out his finger and asked, "Why don't you divide me in half?" ”
"Of course, Director Fang can eat as much as he wants." Jiang Minghe directly pushed the plate in front of Fang Xing. Fang Xing tore off half of it and continued to chew it with a taste.
After eating the croissant, he drank the lemon tea, then stretched comfortably, and said, "The two big directors, I still have a date tonight, why don't you do it today?" When the viewing meeting is over, I must listen carefully to the thoughts of the two big directors. ”
"Which house are you going to eat with?" Wei Shurong and Jiang Minghe subconsciously asked. Fang Xing grinned and said, "The beauty has an appointment, how could I leave the two big directors behind and go to eat with other families." ”
"Oh well. That's it for today. Wei Shurong then nodded in agreement. After Fang Xing left, Wei Shurong and Jiang Minghe were still sitting in place staring wide-eyed.
The two looked at each other for a few minutes before Jiang Minghe spoke: "Director Wei, "Langya Bang" is really more suitable for our Xiangjiang Satellite TV. Wei Shurong shook his head and retorted: "No, no, no, the most suitable theme for Xiangjiang Satellite TV is idol dramas, I think the current very popular "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" is very suitable for your station." ”
Director Wei laughed. Jiang Minghe snorted. The two continued to look at each other, with all kinds of thoughts in their hearts, and they were both guessing each other's thoughts.
Both men had something to say, but neither was in a hurry to speak. Wei Shurong was obviously more calm. After all, Ark Culture is an enterprise settled in Donghai City, and it has settled in Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park.
Donghai Satellite TV relied on
The advantage of "building near the water" has successfully won the premiere right of the Ark Cultural TV series. Therefore, when the competition is too fierce, Donghai Satellite TV can still sacrifice the hole card of the leader of Ningyun District, not to mention that it can win "Langya Bang" steadily, but at least it has an advantage.
Jiang Minghe was also very aware of this, so he thought about it for a long time and said, "Director Wei, we have all worked in the TV industry for so many years.
"The film group also watched the finished film of "Langya Bang", you and I both know that this drama will definitely be a hit.
"We can see it, and other provincial satellite TV can also see it.
Moreover, the message on Fang Xing's mobile phone just now appeared with Li Changhong's name.
"I don't know if CCTV also wants "Langya Bang".
"Continue like this, don't end up with a lose-lose fight and be benefited by other Taiwan." Wei Shurong smiled and asked, "What does Director Jiang want to say?" Jiang Minghe leaned over and said, "How about the two simulcasts?" Our two satellite TVs have worked together before. There are so many competing TV stations this time, and the chances of winning together are even greater.
"In case CCTV really joins in, the two of us will have a chance to win.
"Moreover, the price of this show, without me saying it, you should also know that it must be sky-high.
"The price of a station exclusive broadcast is too high, and the simulcast only needs to be half of it, which can greatly alleviate the financial pressure." In fact, Wei Shurong had already guessed that Jiang Minghe would mention the matter of the two simulcasts.
This plan was also discussed at a meeting within Donghai Satellite TV. According to the current market, the price of a single episode of "Langya Bang" will definitely reach 3 million.
If this price is to be broadcast exclusively, it will be a sky-high price of 160 million. Two simulcasts, each TV station only needs to produce 80 million.
However, Wei Shurong did not rush to agree, but said with a smile: "I will go back and have a meeting with the leaders of the station to discuss before I can give you an answer." ”…… Meanwhile.
The screening of "Hibiscus Tent Warm Spring Festival" has been going on for a week. is different from "Langya Bang", major TV stations are not in a hurry to watch "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" for the first time, so only once in a while, a TV station sends people to participate in the viewing party.
Hanlin Media held a week-long viewing meeting intermittently. Originally, Shengqi Entertainment invited the viewing group of Jiangnan Satellite TV to participate in the viewing party of "Furong Tent Warm Spring Festival" through relationships.
As a result, Jiangnan Satellite TV's viewing group only watched it for half a day, and then received an urgent task, left Hanlin Media, and rushed to Ningyun District to participate in the viewing party of "Langya Bang".
As soon as Chen Wenhan heard that Jiangnan Satellite TV's film viewing group was going to transfer to participate in the film viewing party of "Langya Bang", his lungs were about to explode.
