Chapter 542: Documentaries Are the Inheritance of History (Ask for Subscription)
At the head of it is the endless desert.
The figure of a monk appears in the picture.
"In the seventh century A.D., a monk of the Tang Dynasty set foot on the Silk Road......"
"Nineteen years, one hundred and ten countries, fifty thousand... mile ......"
"In 612 AD, the Sui Empire selected monks, which was a sect initiated by the emperor himself. Teaching activities ......"
"Between Guazhou and Yinwu, a small country in the Western Regions, there is a vast desert ......"
"Xuanzang found that Samarkand's handicraft technology is the most exquisite among all countries......"
“……”
All the pictures are gathered together, and the name is "Xuanzang's Road".
This is a beautiful, majestic, rigorous and rugged, profound and timeless documentary.
It is, of course, about the history of a generation of monks and monks Xuanzang and Tianzhu learning scriptures.
The documentary is a total of twelve episodes, no more, no less, but it is comprehensive, and everything that should be told is told, so that after watching it, people can understand the bitterness and bitterness of Master Xuanzang after he became famous, and the faith contained in the firmness.
Xuluo didn't need to "watch" it a second time to know that this documentary must be at least a dozen years later.
All kinds of customs, all kinds of techniques and shooting techniques in it...... and so on, all of which show that it is not a work of this era.
But after thinking about it carefully, I feel that if a "Xuanzang Road" is filmed in this era, there seems to be nothing contradictory.
More than ten years later, there are more than ten years later, and now it is another kind of customs, and it is more simple and more ancient.
After all, the future will be full of high-rise buildings, people's living material standards have improved, but some quaint styles, as well as environmental characteristics, will undergo great changes.
It is no exaggeration to say that today's Huaguo, and the Huaguo of 2008, look completely different countries.
So it's interesting to make a version now, and then another in 20 years.
After thinking about it, Xuluo looked at Jin Tiemu.
This young man is so young, he has only graduated from college now, and he is still a foreign language major, he shouldn't have filmed it, right? Or was he involved in the translation work?

"You've thought well, I'll go ask them. If they are going to play, then the crew pays for it, and you follow and take care of them! ”
Letting go of his thoughts, Xuluo first commanded him two words, and then came to Pingshan Chengxiang and the others.
When Hirayama Chengxiang and Shen Hao finished speaking, Xuluo said, "Mr. Hirayama, I remember that you told me before that you wanted us to cooperate?" ”
Hirayama Chengxiang was slightly stunned, nodded and replied: "Yes, Mr. Xu, what good ideas do you have, please tell me, we at NHK appreciate your genius ideas." ”
"That's good."
Xuluo asked, "Do you need a documentary about Huaguo?" ”
"Documentaries are our favorites." Hirayama Chengxiang said, "Mr. Xu, do you have any good ideas?" ”
"I did think of one." Xuluo pondered, "Let's talk about it when I have a plan." ”
"Good!"
Hirayama Chengxiang was in good spirits.
He knew that Xuluo would never let go of nothing, and since he said so, he must have something in mind.
The documentaries made by Huaguo have much more themes than those made by Japan.
The place of Japanese benzene is a little smaller, there are not many landforms, and then the history is not long, compared to Huaguo, everything is scum.
"I heard that Mr. Hirayama, you still want to walk around this Jiangnan and have a look?" Xuluo then asked again.
"That's right."
Hirayama Chengxiang said with a smile, "It's hard for a group of us to come out, and it's rare to have time to stay in Huaguo for so long, so I want to use the three days to walk around and take a look, otherwise I don't know when I will come back next." ”
"Up to a year!" Xuluo gestured his index finger and middle finger to him, "When we start working together, welcome Mr. Hirayama to Huaguo again!" ”
"Good!"
Hirayama Chengxiang was even more excited in his heart, and said that Xuluo was really a man of action, and he would do what he said.
For a documentary, it takes a year of creativity, planning, scripting, and discussion...... And so on, the preparation work is already very tight.
I don't know exactly what it is.
But what Xuluo himself has the idea to do, it must be extraordinary.
"You are here as guests this time, and we have to entertain you from beginning to end." Xuluo beckoned Jin Tiemu over, "I'll let Xiao Jin follow you!" Then arrange a minibus, which is also convenient for a group of you to travel around, without worrying about other problems, and finally send you back to the airport, how about it? ”
"This ......"
Hirayama Chengxiang thought about it, but nodded in agreement: "Thank you, Mr. Xu!" I won't say anything superfluous, and Mr. Shen...... You can also tell Mr. Ren and Mr. Wang, if you have time to come to Japan, please tell me in advance! I'm going to treat you well! ”
Shen Hao smiled and agreed.
This is the exchange of courtesies, the relationship is getting closer and closer, and the relationship between everyone is getting better and better, which is the origin.
……
Xuluo turned around and began to ponder the matter of "The Road to Xuanzang".
I don't have much experience in documentary, but Huaxia TV has it!
When the time comes, you can seconded a team from Huaxia TV to help you shoot this documentary.
It's just that with the habits of Huaxia TV, they want to be more refined and better, so it must take a long time to do it.
It's not surprising to shoot casually for a year.
Xuluo is also quite in favor of this, whether it is a movie or TV series, or a variety show documentary, it is the principle that it must be filmed well, and anything else can be put in second place.
But Xuluo also has a way to speed things up a bit.
Add money.
At the beginning, "Journey to the West" was filmed for five or six years one after another, but in fact, if the funds were sufficient, it could be filmed in two years at most.
"Dream of Red Mansions" is also due to lack of funds, and it takes a lot of time to prepare in the early stage, if you give more money, it will be no problem to finish it a year early.
Not to mention "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
If this is a Xuluo project, just throw money into it, and from beginning to end, it will be completed in three years at most.
But do you watch the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?
It's been almost two years since the preparation!
Compared with the previous three major dramas, "The Road to Xuanzang" is not so complicated, and there are no big scenes.
It's actually a very much of a tourist route. Feeling. film, not many people are needed, just shoot all the way.
The ancient buildings, people, books, rooms, landscapes, etc., interspersed in the middle, can be divided into several camera crews to shoot.
Finally, a comprehensive editing is sufficient.
In this way, counting the preparation time of half a year, the shooting time of half a year to a year, at most a year and a half can be completed.
Don't think it's taking too long.
In this era, all scenes that need to be on location are filmed for a long time.
Take director Xie Hong's "The Legend of the Withering Heroes", which began to be prepared for production in October last year, and now it is April, and the filming has not yet been completed, let alone the start of post-production!
If this is in Xiangjiang, the three "The Legend of the Withering Heroes" will be done.
Filming a documentary is also an attempt by Xuluo.
He is very envious of the BBC for making so many excellent documentaries.
Don't think that these documentaries have no economic benefits and cost a lot, but this is the conscience of a country's television workers, and it is also a manifestation of the sense of responsibility to the country.
Without these documentaries, many cultures and knowledge of the country and even the earth would not have been passed on.
Huaguo has gone through so many tribulations, and a lot of history is disappearing, if we don't take the opportunity of now, start to explore and find it seriously from now on, and wait for another twenty or thirty years, maybe a lot of things and history will be submerged in time.
For example, an ancient tomb, which is still there now, can it be guaranteed to be there in 20 years?
The scenery along the road of "Xuanzang", and many historical monuments, do not shoot now, and when there is no more, the descendants of later generations asked, how did our Tang Sanzang go to the west to learn scriptures, where are those historical memories and nodes, how to answer?
With this documentary, it's different, even if many things don't exist in reality, they can be preserved through images.
This is the reason why Xuluo is willing to make documentaries, and is willing to make more documentaries.
After all, God gave Xuluo the greatest reward, he should do something meaningful, not just to make money by picking up girls.
The negotiations between Huaxia TV and TV Tokyo were also going well.
TV Tokyo offered a price of $100,000 per episode, which was simply beyond everyone's expectations.
The crew originally thought that $50,000 would be a big deal, but Huaxia TV was even more cautious, thinking that $30,000 per episode would not be a loss.
With the money in Japan and Xiangjiang, Huaxia TV has recovered half of the cost.
In addition, Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines will inevitably buy the copyright...... Wait, relying on overseas copyright to recover all the costs, it is definitely expected.
filmed such a blockbuster, and built such a large film and television base, but didn't use his own money, do you say Huaxia TV is happy? Pride not?
Now the price of 100,000 US dollars is 50 million when converted into RMB, and if you don't exchange RMB, you can use US dollars directly, which is definitely a beautiful thing.
Of course, it is impossible for all the $8.4 million to go to Huaxia TV, and there is a mother-in-law on it!
Total. The bureau should be divided into one-third, or even one-half.
But even if only half is left, it is a huge amount of money.
Most of the equipment that Huaxia TV has been thinking about over the years can be done with this money.
At that time, Huaxia TV will be a shotgun and a new vitality!
Therefore, a deputy director of Huaxia TV came to negotiate, and it only took two days to complete all the contract content and officially sign the contract.
They don't care about the five-year copyright demanded by TV Tokyo, and nothing else matters in front of the $8.4 million pie.
On the TV Tokyo side, they are happy and worried.
Naturally, they are happy that they believe that "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is definitely a huge work, and it will definitely be liked by the Japanese people.
Then Kojima Mori Shigeru also got the approval of Xuluo, and pulled him back from TV Tokyo, which was a little estranged.
This is of great significance to the rising TV Tokyo, which is more important than "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" itself.
Otherwise, once Xuluo returns to TV Asahi again, then according to the lessons of TV Asahi, they will definitely meet all the needs of Xuluo, so that Xuluo can let go of his hands to produce TV dramas and variety shows.
TV Asahi's stage is not comparable to TV Tokyo at all, and it is conceivable that Xuluo will not have anything to do with TV Tokyo from now on.
Now that Xuluo is still on TV Tokyo, and he will still leave his best work to TV Tokyo, then TV Tokyo will inevitably continue to move forward until it becomes one of the six major TV stations in Japan!
As for the worries, it is understandable.
With the ultra-high price of $8.4 million to buy the copyright, Kojima Morishigeru can imagine that those directors were furious and angry.
But what's the solution?
What should be endured, or must be endured!
How can there be a reason in this world to only enjoy rights and interests, and not bear risks and obligations?
