Chapter 563: The Mist Theater warms up, and the competitors are strong
After four months of intense shooting, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "The Darkling" were completed and post-production began.
Before the completion of "The Darkling", Fang Xing went to watch the footage shot for two days, and the quality was very good.
It can be seen that Zhang Yigao is indeed fighting this time.
After all, there are not many opportunities for this kind of thing, and if this drama hits the street, it will be very difficult for him to direct a TV series alone in the future.
Of course, if he is willing to take on the projects of those third-rate film and television companies, it is not that there is no filming at all, but he has filmed so many hit dramas, and he knows how comfortable it is to work in a mature crew.
Before joining Ark Culture, Zhang Yigao worked in the crews of many third-rate film and television companies.
There are too many bad things in this kind of crew.
Even on the first day of joining the crew, I knew that the things filmed by this crew must be sparse, but as long as the crew pays salaries, they have to work.
Of course, there are times when wages are not paid.
In short, Zhang Yigao said that he would seize this opportunity no matter what, so he used mixed up and almost filmed "The Darkling" to the limit of his ability.
In addition, the actors' acting skills are really good, and the overall effect is very good.
In the later stage, there is a special team to do it, and Fang Xing will keep an eye on the progress every few days.
Since "Misty Theater" is a new card played by Pea Video, it has been warmed up for four months, and it is necessary to arrange the launch of "Misty Theater" as soon as possible.
Therefore, "The Darkling" and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" are waiting for the later stage to be completed and will be directly scheduled to be broadcast.
Both of these dramas are customized for the "Fog Theater", so they are exclusive to Pea Video.
And both dramas are produced by Ark Culture, among which "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" is directed and acted by Fang Xing, and one person plays two roles.
directly pulls the audience's expectations to the top.
Moreover, the audience has been hungry for four months.
Some of the viewers who are short of dramas even count the days and other two dramas.
After all, so far, the TV series produced by Ark Culture are basically hits, and the worst "Tang Fenghua" is also a small fire.
Moreover, "Tang Fenghua" has been drawn into the ranks of the leftovers of Ark culture by the audience.
After all, there is no direct participation of Fang Xing in this drama.
And each of the TV series directly participated in by Fang Xing is the king of dramas.
This time, there will be two at a time, and the audience will naturally look forward to it.
After "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "The Darkling" were completed, Ark Culture and Pea Video began to warm up in the early stage.
These two dramas happen to be one "white" and the other "black".
Every time they are bundled together for publicity, they are nicknamed "black and white" by netizens.
β¦β¦
Because Pea Video launched the special topic of "Fog Theater", and it was huge, the other two of the three major video websites felt huge pressure.
The competition of video sites is very fierce, and only after a period of time when there is no good content to be released, the audience will be sucked away by other sites.
Not only the three major video websites, but even Xiangguo Video, the first person under the three majors, is also actively looking for suspense dramas.
Xiangguo video is okay, after all, the basic disk of Xiangguo video is an idol drama, and the suspense drama is just looking for a top one, as long as it can withstand the offensive of "Fog Theater".
Penguin video and taro video are not good, these two take a comprehensive route, broadcast any drama, and suspense dramas are also the main genre.
Now, Wandou Video is about to launch two suspenseful criminal investigation dramas, and has opened the special theater "Fog Theater".
If the marketing of "Fog Theater" is successful and the word-of-mouth effect is formed, as long as the drama is broadcast in "Fog Theater" in the future, it will be blessed by the theater, which will have strong stickiness to the audience who like suspense dramas.
For this reason, Penguin Video and Taro Video are searching for suspense dramas everywhere, ready to resist this wave of "Fog Theater" offensive.
Moreover, Penguin Video has really found a high-quality suspense drama to be broadcast.
This suspenseful criminal investigation drama is a drama by Jinpeng TV Emperor Wu Zhikang and traffic star Zhu Yiting.
With Wu Zhikang carrying the drama, the quality of this drama is guaranteed.
However, this drama was not filmed this year, but it has not been broadcast for two years.
In the film and television industry, there will indeed be some dramas to be broadcast, which will not be broadcast for several years.
There are many reasons for this, some are not suitable for the price, and some are of poor quality.
Wu Zhikang's "Lonely Suspect" is not the first two situations, but the third.
Failed to pass the trial.
Suspenseful criminal investigation dramas are actually sensitive topics for review.
Because of this type of drama, it is inevitable that there will be crime, gore, and so on.
Usually, when this type of drama is submitted for review, it will more or less encounter places to be modified.
Most suspense dramas can pass the review after revision.
Of course, if the filmmaker feels that after the modification, the quality of the episode will be reduced, and he is unwilling to modify it, then he can only put it first.
In short, Wu Zhikang's "Lonely Suspect" has been pressed for two years.
This drama is produced by Fan Entertainment, starring the emperor, and the quality is indeed guaranteed.
When it was completed two years ago, there were also TV stations and video websites that wanted to broadcast it, but then it was delayed without passing the trial.
Just in time for this time Pea Video opened a "Fog Theater" feature.
Penguin Video searched everywhere for suspense dramas, and finally turned this drama out.
This drama has been pressed for two years, and Fanfan Entertainment has not been able to recover its investment for a long time, but it actually wants to broadcast it as soon as possible.
The two sides hit it off.
Penguin Video got the exclusive broadcast rights of this show at a price that was not too high, on the condition of helping "The Lonely Suspect" pass the trial.
In addition to Penguin Video, Taro Video also invested in filming a suspense drama.
invested 100 million, S-level project, looking for first-line actors to play, and the cast also made the audience look forward to it.
β¦β¦
The three major video sites have prepared suspense dramas and are ready to go to war in November.
The time came to mid-October, just a week after the long holiday, the three major video websites began to warm up the suspense drama, and the homepage was hung up one after another.
After the post-production of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "The Darkling".
Pea Video held a meeting to discuss the broadcast schedule, and Fang Xing, as the producer of the two dramas, participated in this meeting.
"The Misty Theater has been warming up for more than four months, and it is necessary to arrange the broadcast of the drama as soon as possible, and the order of the broadcast of the two dramas also needs to be determined." Gong Jianbin raised the topic of discussion.
Executives from various departments began to express their opinions based on the situation of the website and the series.
"I think that in addition to looking at the promotion arrangements of our website, we should also pay attention to the situation of our competitors."
The director of the marketing department of Pea Video released a data and said: "Penguin Video and Taro Video are ready to snipe our Fog Theater.
Among them, the most critical is the suspense drama "Lonely Suspect" purchased by Penguin Video, which is starring Wu Zhikang and is played by traffic star Zhu Yiting.
Moreover, this drama has been pressed for two years, and according to the news I heard, this drama has not been broadcast until now because it failed to pass the trial, and there is no problem with the quality of the episodes.
"Because this drama has been pressed for two years, the audience has also waited for two years, and the expectations are very high.
"After Penguin Video released the latest trailer, the number of views of the trailer exceeded 10 million in three days.
"It's more played than the trailer of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", so this drama should not be underestimated.
The suspense drama invested by Taro Video is "His Secret", which is a new drama that combines emotion and suspense, with a good starring lineup, and many viewers have expressed their expectations and the possibility of a big hit.
"Therefore, when we arrange the broadcast order of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "The Darkling", we also need to consider how to deal with the sniping of competitors."
After all departments expressed their opinions, Gong Jianbin looked at Fang Xing and asked, "Director Fang, what do you think?" β
The producers of both dramas are Fang Xing, so Fang Xing's opinion must be the most important.
Fang Xing's expression was very calm, and he replied, "Actually, I think it's okay." I watched the trailer of Wu Zhikang's "Lonely Suspect", the quality is really high, and it may not lose to "The Darkling", but it still depends on the broadcast of the feature film. β
In fact.
"The Lonely Suspect" has been pressed for two years, and there are many rumors in the industry.
During this period, many video platform viewing groups have watched the finished film.
Therefore, even in the Ark cultural crew, there are members of the viewing group of the previous video platform.
After a little inquiry, you will know that the quality of this drama is very high.
After all, it is Jinpeng TV Emperor Wu Zhikang who carries the drama.
Therefore, after Fang Xing watched the trailer, he could probably guess the quality of this drama.
Fanfan Entertainment dared to put this drama on for two years, and it was not sure that it would be sold at a low price, which also shows that Fanfan Entertainment is very confident in this drama.
Penguin Video is willing to come forward to help this drama pass the review, which also shows that it is very optimistic about this drama.
In short, the suspense drama this time is very competitive.
Even, Fang Xing didn't dare to say whether "The Darkling" could suppress "The Lonely Suspect".
After all, "The Darkling" is only an A-level investment, and there are actually no first-line actors in the starring lineup, all of them are fished out among the actors who are not very popular, but have good acting skills.
The actor Guo Sanjin, who plays the actor "Luo Fei", although he has acting skills, he is really not very handsome, and he is not famous.
If you only watch the trailer, viewers who like to look at faces are probably not interested in "The Darkling".
The audience who is looking forward to "The Darkling" is basically a fan of suspense dramas, or a fan of Ark culture.
Therefore, it is really hard to say that "The Darkling" uses second- and third-tier, or even eighteenth-tier actors to win the "Lonely Suspect", which is a drama carried by the emperor.
The post-production of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" and "The Darkling" has been basically completed, and Fang Xing has watched the first cut of the two dramas, so he knows the quality of the two dramas.
After thinking about it for a while, Fang Xing asked, "Gong always wants to have the last laugh, or is he the first to take the lead?" β
Gong Jianbin pondered and asked, "Is there any difference between this?" β
Fang Xing replied: "If you have the last laugh, you will put the main event in the finale." If you want to take the lead, then put it in front to get off to a good start. β
Gong Jianbin asked: "Director Fang thinks that one of the two dramas is not of good quality, right?" β
Fang Xing shook his head and replied: "No, the quality of both dramas is very high, but this time it may really be a fight between immortals, so we still have to arrange a strategy." β
Gong Jianbin pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's have the last laugh." β
Fang Xing nodded slowly and said, "Then broadcast "The Darkling" first, you can advance a little. β
Gong Jianbin looked at the executives present and asked, "Has anyone ever asked when "The Lonely Suspect" will be broadcast?" β
The executives shook their heads: "I can't be sure yet, I only know that it should be broadcast in early November, but the specific time has not been determined, maybe the other party is also waiting for our broadcast plan to determine the time." β
This suspense drama competition also involves the follow-up film and television plans of Pea Video.
If this suspense drama is successful, then the thematic theater of "Misty Theater" will stand, and it will become a brand and form a long-term effect.
Therefore, the competitive strategy of Penguin Video and Taro Video is to snipe the "Fog Theater".
As long as the first two dramas of "Fog Theater" are suppressed, it is a successful sniper.
To this end, Penguin Video used its connections to take out "The Lonely Suspect" for broadcast.
And Taro Video invested 100 million yuan and filmed "His Secret".
Pea Video now has to play against two of the three major video sites.
Not only that, but Xiangguo Video will also intervene.
Therefore, November of this year is a suspense drama scuffle.
It's not just pea videos that want to play strategy, but also penguin videos, taro videos, and Xiangguo videos that want to play strategies.
Fang Xing thought about it for a moment and said, "That's it, "The Darkling" will be broadcast on November 1. "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" will be broadcast after Double 11. β
After discussion, the broadcast plan was finally decided.
"The Darkling" will be broadcast on November 2, and "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" will be broadcast on November 20.
The first season of "The Darkling" has a total of 46 episodes, but each episode is a bit short, only 30 minutes.
Therefore, the broadcast plan formulated by Pea Video is to start from November 2nd, with two episodes updated for free every day, and VIP members will watch 8 more episodes.
On November 20th, VIP members went straight to the finale.
Subsequently, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" took over and started broadcasting, allowing the "Fog Theater" to rule throughout November.
After the broadcast plan is confirmed.
The official channels of cooperative companies such as Ark Culture and Pea Video were officially announced.
On the day of the official announcement, the news that the two dramas were finalized rushed to the hot search.
The audience, who had been looking forward to it for more than four months, finally waited for the exact start time and began to discuss it on the Internet:
[It's finally on the air, and I'm waiting for my kids to be able to play soy sauce.] γ
[Hey, it turned out to be the first broadcast of "The Darkling", and Zhang Yigao's cards can be. γ
[Black and white are coming together, and the November TV series is really bloody. γ
γit!γ I thought that at least one of the two dramas would be broadcast again for half a year, but I didn't expect the "Fog Theater" to release both big killers at once. γ
[It's good now, and there is a "Lonely Suspect" on Penguin Video, which has been waiting for two years. This time it was also released, and November was really crazy. γ
[I'm looking forward to "The Lonely Suspect", I heard that this drama has not been reviewed before, and I don't know if it has sensitive content. γ
[The emperor carried the drama, waited for two years, and finally released it. γ
[Hey, hey, "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" is also a drama of the emperor. Don't treat singers as emperors, okay? (End of chapter)
