The post-production of "Mountains and Seas" is nearing completion.

Fang Xing's workload is not large, every few days, he keeps an eye on the post-production progress, discusses the unsatisfactory points, and discusses with the post-production team.

Usually, Fang Xing only does the person who asks the problem, and the solution is thought by the post-production team.

Since there is a professional post-production team, the director does not need to do everything himself.

As long as the post-production can meet the requirements, even if the method used is different from what was expected, Fang Xing will gladly accept it.

With the continuous development of the company, sooner or later, the film and television production department must learn to complete film and television projects independently when there is no Fang Xing to participate in the production.

Therefore, Fang Xing has been letting go as much as possible since very early on, and let the team of the film and television production department solve problems and accumulate experience.

When staring at the post-production of "Mountains and Seas", Fang Xing spent most of his time at home with Lu Xiang'er.

As the months get older, the belly bulge becomes more and more pronounced.

Fortunately, she was able to eat and sleep, and she didn't encounter any major problems.

The regular prenatal check-ups are also very smooth.

During the prenatal examination, using the instrument, you can clearly hear the fetal heartbeat, like a pulse, fluttering and beating.

When Fang Xing passed by the bookstore, he bought a storybook and began to tell bedtime stories every night.

The little one in the belly occasionally responds.

However, the strength is still relatively small, and it is basically impossible to see it just by looking at the abdomen.

Every time she was kicked, Lu Xiang'er would point to her bulging abdomen and exclaim, "She kicked me!" She kicked me! ”

"Where? Where? Fang Xing hurriedly reached out to touch it.

Since the little one's strength is still relatively small, he did not kick his belly up.

However, if you touch it with your hands, you can feel that the place where you are kicked will be harder, as if there is a foot under the belly.

……

With the preliminary completion of the post-production of "Mountains and Seas", the first cut version has come out.

Ark Culture sent invitations to major TV stations step by step to watch the film.

When "Mountains and Seas" was established, each David TV took the initiative to invite it, wanting to set the drama in advance, and even wanted to invest.

However, before the drama was filmed, it was not decided.

Now that the first cut is out, it's time for a viewing session.

After receiving the news, each David TV immediately sent a viewing group to attend the film viewing meeting at the Ark Cultural Headquarters in Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park.

Since the completion of the first phase of the headquarters park of Ark Culture, the company's site has become larger, and it can directly hold a viewing meeting in the company and invite TV stations and video platforms to come over.

The first video site to participate in the viewing party was Pea Video.

After all, Wandou Video has been communicating with the executives of Ark Culture, and knew the specific time of the film in advance, so it was ready early.

On the first day of the film viewing meeting, the viewing group of Pea Video arrived at the Ark Cultural Headquarters.

The equipment has not been set up yet, and even the employees of Wandou Video directly started to help connect the equipment lines.

Immediately afterwards, the viewing group of Donghai Satellite TV also arrived.

Since "Mountains and Seas" is a poverty alleviation theme advocated by the state, from the beginning of the project, the permission applied for includes the star license, not the webcast license.

Therefore, as long as the quality of this drama is not too bad, it is basically determined that it will be broadcast on the stars.

Although Ark Culture and Pea Video are already a strategic partnership, "Mountains and Seas" is not something that Pea Video can eat alone, and it is impossible to prevent "Mountains and Seas" from being broadcast on the stars.

If Pea Video is willing to open a sky-high price, it is possible to compete for the exclusive right to broadcast online.

However, Penguin Video obviously won't let go so easily.

On the second day of the viewing meeting, Li Xueying, vice president of Penguin Video, personally led a team to Ningyun to participate in the viewing meeting.

Before participating in the film viewing party, Li Xueying also sent a message to Fang Xing's private WeChat account and made an appointment.

Li Xueying only watched two episodes of "Mountains and Seas", and when she saw the smile that the heroine Li Shuihua showed to Ma Defu, she suddenly felt distressed.

This laugh is so impressive, it is simply the finishing touch of this show.

In fact, during the filming of "Mountains and Seas", Li Xueying heard the crew mention that one scene was filmed more than a dozen times before it was finally passed.

When Li Xueying saw this smile, she immediately knew that she was talking about this scene.

Li Shuihua's smile has indeed reached a level that makes the audience feel distressed, and I really want to see Li Shuihua and Ma Defu walking together.

It's just that the story has regrets, and this regret is also used to enhance the poverty of Yongquan Village and strengthen the theme of this drama.

Li Xueying has been in charge of film and television drama projects for more than ten years, whether a drama is good or not, she only needs to watch a few episodes, and she knows in her heart.

Therefore, she only watched two episodes and knew that this show was going to explode.

It's just that what worries her is that Fang Xing is the second largest shareholder of Pea Video.

If Pea Video makes a lot of money, it is completely possible to get the exclusive broadcast rights of "Mountains and Seas".

Li Xueying's goal this time is not the exclusive broadcast right.

With the current relationship between Ark Culture and Pea Video, Penguin Video basically can't get the exclusive broadcast right of "Mountains and Seas".

However, Pea Video must not be allowed to get the exclusive broadcast rights.

Otherwise, as soon as "Mountains and Seas" was launched, the penguin video was beaten to the rhythm.

Li Xueying watched two episodes, and when the time was almost up, she came out to the café next door, ordered a cup of coffee, a cup of tea, and sat back to wait for Fang to wake up and go to the appointment.

After all, they have cooperated so many times, and Fang Xing and Li Xueying have a good relationship in private.

The commercial competition between Penguin Video and Pea Video does not affect the personal relationship between the two.

After all, identities can change, but people's friendships are always there.

"Mr. Li, it's getting more and more beautiful." Fang Xing walked into the café and praised Li Xueying when he saw him.

"After I got married, I spoke better and better." Li Xueying teased.

At the time of the wedding banquet, Li Xueying happened to be on a business trip and did not participate, but she asked someone to give a big gift.

may also be because Gong Jianbin is there, she also wants to avoid suspicion, and then sent a video congratulations.

Fang Xing sat down, picked up the tea and took a sip, and asked, "Have you watched the show?" ”

Li Xueying nodded: "After watching it, the first two episodes of the costume are very confident, and the actress almost doesn't wear makeup." ”

Actually, it's impossible to go without makeup at all.

After all, today's female celebrities have very white complexions, and if they don't wear makeup, they don't look like they are exposed to the wind and sun.

Therefore, the makeup team of the crew is working hard, and the makeup is as much as possible in the direction required by Fang Xing.

Overall, the makeup is relatively light, especially the eye makeup, which is very light, or even no eye makeup.

Fang Xing then asked: "So Penguin Video, you also want to broadcast this new drama?" ”

Li Xueying replied with a smile: "The broadcast is definitely going to be broadcast, this may be talked about after the viewing group watches it, let's just drink tea today and contact the relationship." ”

Fang Xing looked at her suspiciously, and said, "I don't want Mr. Li to say it, Mr. Li is a busy person, if he didn't come to watch the film, he wouldn't have time to see me." ”

Li Xueying laughed and teased: "It should be you who is busy, right?" I've heard that your violinist is taking a leave of absence from class. When will the wine be served again? I'm going to prepare a congratulatory gift. ”

In fact, about Lu Xianger, insiders who have a good relationship more or less know some about it.

However, this matter, those who know it will not be able to say it, and those who will say it will not be able to touch it.

Fang Xing snorted: "Then Mr. Li will really come when the time comes." ”

Li Xueying changed her words and asked, "What are you going to broadcast this drama?" We're all old friends, so let's get to the bottom of it. ”

Fang Xing knew that Li Xueying asked him to drink tea, it was definitely not just as simple as contacting feelings, and asked with a smile: "What is Mr. Li's plan?" ”

Li Xueying did not answer this question immediately, but sighed and said: "Think about the previous dramas, they were all broadcast on Penguin Video, how convenient it was to cooperate at that time, and now there are more concerns." ”

Since "Wulin Gaiden", every drama of Fang Xing has been broadcast on Penguin Video, even if it is not an exclusive broadcast, at least a multi-platform simulcast.

However, since "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", things have changed.

"Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" is the opening work of the Misty Theater tailored to Pea Video, so it is broadcast exclusively by Pea Video.

In order to resist this wave of Pea Video's offensive, Li Xueying also spent favors and a lot of money to buy "The Lonely Suspect", but "The Lonely Suspect" still failed to suppress "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night".

This time, if "Mountains and Seas" is taken the exclusive broadcast right by Pea Video, what drama will Penguin Video compete with?

Strictly speaking, it's not that there are no dramas that can fight in the ring.

After all, several film and television companies are filming poverty alleviation dramas this year, after all, this theme is advocated by the state.

A task was assigned by a higher department.

Although it is not a mandatory requirement, if you want to make a good impression on the regulatory side, it is best to submit this proposition essay.

The film and television company is okay to say that the TV station will definitely broadcast a poverty alleviation drama this year.

Therefore, many provincial satellite TV stations have invested in poverty alleviation drama projects.

Not only that, but the actors of the national team have also participated in these poverty alleviation dramas.

and "Mountains and Seas" were completed at the same time, there are two or three.

However, Li Xueying has already learned about other dramas from the side, and from experience, she feels that the few films that have been completed are basically unable to compete with "Mountains and Seas".

The only one who has a chance is estimated to have a chance for the entertainment "Spring River Plumbing".

However, "Spring River Plumbing" is still in post-production, and there is no viewing party.

Li Xueying is also not sure if the quality of this drama can be done.

In case the quality of "Spring River Plumbing" is not high enough, then there is really no drama that can compete with "Mountains and Seas".

Instead of waiting to open the blind box of "Spring River Plumbing", it is better to grab "Mountains and Seas" directly.

If there is a king bomb, of course, it is to grab the king bomb first.

Besides, if the blind box of "Spring River Plumbing" is also Wang Bang, then it is completely possible to take the two Wang Bang together, and no matter how you broadcast it, you won't lose it anyway.

Therefore, Li Xueying is determined to win "Mountains and Seas", and must ensure that "Mountains and Seas" cannot be taken away by Pea Video.

Li Xueying took a sip of coffee and continued to chat: "In this way, the drama produced by Ark Culture has been broadcast exclusively on three consecutive pea videos, and this time "Mountains and Seas" can't still be broadcast alone, right?" ”

Fang Xing didn't give a clear answer, and replied casually: "I haven't talked about this yet." However, what is certain is that this drama will be on the stars, and it will be broadcast simultaneously on the video platform and the TV station. ”

There are many dramas now, even if they are on the stars, there may be a situation where the Internet takes precedence.

Because young people nowadays prefer to follow dramas on video sites.

After all, chasing dramas on video sites, you can watch it whenever you want, and pause when you want.

Although TV stations now have a similar function, there is no way to skip this point with advertisements alone, and the disadvantages are obvious.

Therefore, with the development of online video, it has now formed a situation in which the video platform has the initiative.

Moreover, the price offered by the video platform is now higher than that of satellite TV, and the terms are more relaxed.

Since TV stations are exclusive TV platforms in the past few decades, before the emergence of video websites, TV stations belonged to the strong side, and they could even be said to be very domineering.

With the development of the times and the rise of video websites, TV stations don't want to be so strong anymore.

Which side is stronger now depends on the specific situation.

Here in Ark Culture, that is Fang Xing's final say.

After all, TV stations and video websites all want to compete for "Mountains and Seas", so Ark Culture, as the producer, naturally has the initiative.

The drama "Mountains and Seas" is very suitable for the audience of TV stations to watch, so Fang Xing has already determined from the beginning that this drama will be broadcast simultaneously on TV stations and video websites.

The meaning of simultaneous broadcast is that no one can rush to broadcast.

A few episodes are broadcast on TV stations, and a few episodes are broadcast on video websites.

In the past two years, if it is a TV series that is the first to go online, video sites often have two episodes per day for free, and then VIPs watch four more episodes, or even six more episodes.

If it is broadcast simultaneously by TV stations and video websites, VIP users of video websites will not be able to watch so many episodes.

Of course, this is Fang Xing's scheduled broadcast plan, and how it will be broadcast in the end depends on how each David TV and video website talk about it.

Li Xueying asked directly: "Since you want to be on the star, it is more appropriate to broadcast on multiple platforms on the network side, looking at our relationship for so many years, this request must be agreed, right?" ”

Fang Xing nodded and said, "I'll try my best, in fact, it's just my idea, and I don't know what the final negotiation will be." ”

Li Xueying was still satisfied with this answer, but she still sighed in her heart.

If before, she relied on favors, then the goal would not be as simple as multi-platform simulcast, and she would definitely go for solo broadcasting.

It's a pity that Penguin Video refused to accept the injection of Ark Culture at that time, otherwise it would be her to handle Gong Jianbin now.

Moreover, she is not only worried about "Mountains and Seas", but more importantly, the copyright issues of the old dramas of Ark Culture.

Especially "Wulin Gaiden", the copyright will expire in one year.

When Penguin Video signed "Wulin Gaiden", it was signed for five years.

This is a regular standard in the film and television industry, if there are no special requirements, the copyright of the TV series signed by the general video website is signed for five years.

In fact, most TV series, after five years of broadcasting, basically have little value.

It doesn't even take five years, and after half a year of broadcasting, the popularity of the show will drop, and fewer people will watch it.

"Wulin Gaiden" is an exception, it has been on the air for four years, and now it still occupies the first place in the comedy list.

And looking at the trend, it may continue to dominate.

However, there is only one year left for the copyright of this drama.

Li Xueying thought for a moment and asked tentatively: "By the way, can the copyrights of those old dramas also be renewed?" ”
