Body 114 Divine Drama "Journey to the West"

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The drama "Journey to the West" can be called a divine drama.

    Its own word-of-mouth has also changed from a "divine drama" to a divine drama. The word-of-mouth of this drama can be roughly divided into three stages.

    ? In the first stage, the TV series just started broadcasting, and the ratings are hot, but the word-of-mouth is mediocre.

    Note that this word-of-mouth is mainly from the media, and the audience has no say.

    The media is roughly divided into two groups, one group thinks it is a thunder drama, and the other group thinks it is novel and interesting.

    Similar to dramas such as "Magic Phone" and "Brilliant Spring Pig Bajie", it is a more controversial one.

    The second stage is the rise of the Internet and the rise of grassroots self-media, so it starts to export and compete with the media for the right to speak in film and television reviews.

    At that time, the more classic one was "The Murder of a Mantou" derived from "The Promise".

    ? In one breath, Chen Dao's famous halo was removed, and Chen Dao successfully broke through the defense and made a famous saying.

    "One cannot be so shameless!"

    "Journey to the West" has also been involved in this wave. The most famous one is Lao Shi, one of the originators of video self-media.

    At that time, this video went viral on the Internet, and "Journey to the West" also fell to the bottom. When it was on Douban, its score was as low as 3.9.

    However, after many years, netizens began to look at past film and television works relatively rationally and objectively.

    Or to put it bluntly, the children who watched dramas when they were young grew up and took over the mainstream voice of the Internet.

    "Journey to the West" successfully reversed the verdict, and the Douban score soared from 3.9 to 7.9, completing the gorgeous transformation of word-of-mouth counterattack

    After learning that it was a magical drama, Cao Xuan's mood changed again, and his interest greatly increased.

    It's not that he wants to act, he is suitable for three important roles in the whole "Journey to the West", Tang Seng, Wutian, and Qiao Ling'er.

    However, these three are all supporting roles. No matter how you say it, Cao Xuan is now the most popular brother in the mainland, and his popularity is at its peak.

    Leaving aside the movies, if he was asked to act as a supporting role in the TV drama field, that would be scolding.

    It's fine if it's the kind of top-level big-produced drama, such as "Journey to the West", unless you use the banknote ability.

    With a sky-high salary of 10 to 20 million, Cao Xuan may not be embarrassed once, but the problem of "Journey to the West" cannot afford it.

    Cao Xuan can't play Monkey King, let's not say whether he is suitable or not.

    ?Next year's "Journey to the West Continued" will be broadcast. Although Teacher Liu's character needs to be verified, his performance of Monkey King is absolutely outstanding.

    Cao Xuan was so full that he fought the sixth teacher in the ring, didn't he seek abuse?

    But not acting, doesn't mean you can't invest.

    The drama "Journey to the West" is controversial, but it is really popular, and more importantly, the cost is not high. It is an excellent project with low investment and high returns.

    Cao Xuan did not neglect, and directly contacted the person in charge of the crew, and found that the situation of this drama was much more complicated than he thought.

    In fact, at the beginning of the birth of the drama "Journey to the West", it was to catch the popularity of "Journey to the West".

    The producer is the TV communication center of Qinxing TV Station, which is roughly equivalent to Beijing TV Production Center of Beijing TV Station and Shanying of Lu Province.

    Although Qin Provincial Taiwan is not as rich as Beijing and Lu Provincial Taiwan, a few million is not a problem. The key is that Qin Provincial Taiwan is not very optimistic about this project.

    Leaving aside the script, the most important thing is that the number of episodes is too small. These days, self-produced TV dramas can be subsidized by the higher authorities according to the number of episodes. The same is true for advertisements. Most of the second-round rebroadcast rights are sold according to the number of episodes.

    Anyway, in a word, the fewer the number of episodes, the less profitable it is, but the more episodes, the cost can't be covered, and if it can't be sold, it will be thrown away.

    Therefore, the best solution for investors is to have as many episodes as possible within a controllable cost range.

    In the beginning of "Journey to the West", there were only 15 episodes, but later it was too small, and it was added to 20 episodes. It is not impossible to have more, but the cost will have to be increased.

    The relevant leaders of Qin Province and Taiwan were unwilling, and after discussing it, they found someone to share the investment, but the result was not satisfactory.

    Until later, Qin Shengtai pulled Cao Rong. Although he was a small character in Xiangjiang, he was still a star in the Mainland, not to mention he had just finished his role in "Journey to the West".

    Therefore, relying on Cao Rong Xiangjiang's name as an action star, the crew brought in part of the investment, and also recruited the popular Huang Haibin, and finally set up the airs.

    But later, because investors felt that the number of episodes was too small, they began to make ghosts and beasts. In the end, they made up 30 episodes, leaving countless slots.

      Now at this juncture, it happens that Taila of Qin Province has failed to invest, and is going to contact Cao Rong, and ask him to be the leading actor, action leader and on-site director.

    After Cao Xuan had a general understanding of the situation, he directly expressed it to the other party.

    Fanxing can invest in "Journey to the West", but Cao Rong is exempted. He has little fame, high pay, and low cost performance.

    With this money, let Sixth Teacher act directly, if it is really impossible, find his substitute Ding Jian.

    Cao Rong's acting skills, he knew that he had a sullen face and tilted his head. It is a credit that he played the battle against the Buddha after learning the scriptures.

    As for Cao Rong's directorial role, later generations also had a fight with screenwriter Qian Yanqiu because of stealing credit and throwing blame.

    In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can tell which of the two is the real hero of this drama.

    After "Journey to the West", Cao Rong's works became better and better, and Qian Yanqiu made two big hits "Detective Di Renjie" and "Yan Shuangying".

    Moreover, Qian Yanqiu's works have the same style, lines and plots.

    Cao Rong said the lines that forced the king, saying that he wrote, directed and acted himself, which is really lying.

    So don't look at it as his own family, but Cao Xuan really doesn't like Cao Rong very much, on the contrary, he covets Qian Yanqiu.

    If you can eat the two series "Detective Di Renjie" and "Yan Shuangying", then Fanxing can easily gain a firm foothold in the film and television industry

    Cao Xuan called Zeng Li, told her that he would go back late tonight, and brought Jiang Yue here.

    Half an hour later, Li Yuan, the director and producer of Journey to the West, and Qian Yanqiu, the screenwriter, arrived.

    Li Yuan is the editor-in-chief of Qin Xingtai. He doesn't have many works, but his qualifications are very old, and he has cooperated with many big names.

    Qian Yanqiu is a student of Nortel's 1987 performance department. His classmates include his future partner Zhang Zijian, as well as Zhang Jiayi and Liu Yijun, who are popular and powerful actors.

    By the way, Master Qian from "Let the Bullets Fly" is also in this class.

    After graduating, Qian Yanqiu first became an actor, and then began to work behind the scenes. She has worked as a director and screenwriter, and the screenwriter is currently more famous.

    Before that, I also communicated a lot on the phone. When I met someone, Cao Xuan didn't make any detours, and went straight to the point, straight to the point.

    The total investment of "Journey to the West" is 4 to 6 million, and Qin Xingtai is willing to give up 50% of the share, which means Fanxing needs to invest 2 to 3 million.

    However, this did not satisfy Cao Xuan, because he wanted to take the lead in this film, so as to ensure the quality of "Journey to the West" and not be flooded by random filming.

    If it wasn't for the fact that Fanxing doesn't have a license to shoot independently and has to be affiliated with a unit that is qualified to produce film and television, Cao Xuan would have wanted to continue this drama directly.

    Anyway, Qin Shengtai doesn't want to see this drama, so it's better to let Fanxing do it by himself.

    Even, Cao Xuan revealed this idea semi-bluntly, if Qin Xingtai is willing to sell this project, Cao Xuan can spend some money to take over.

    As for the shooting permission, although it is difficult, it is not impossible to get it.  </div&gt
