When he learned that Long Fan signed Yao Chen, Wang Zhonglei's first reaction was "Is it worth it?"
However, at the moment when Huayi was struggling, the boss couldn't express his position and said anything. He could only tell Long Fan, "Fake the movie well and strive to produce new excellent works."
As for whether it is worth it or not, it all depends on the final effect of "Wulin Gaiden". It is useless to say anything now.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? This time for the filming of "Wulin Gaiden", the leading actors and the script were already available, but the director and camera were not in place for a long time, which is quite speechless.
Fortunately, Huayi¡¯s previous foundation is still there, so it is not too difficult to find a crew that is good at shooting sitcoms.
While preparations for "Wulin Gaiden" were underway, post-production for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was also successfully completed, and series sales began quickly.
There were three TV stations that purchased the show. Zhejiang TV was the first to purchase the entire film for 1.3 million per episode. A single sale basically recouped the cost for the investors of "Sword and Fairy".
If the review results of the original version cannot be broadcast on the Star Channel, Long Fan would not dare to expect such a price, so he couldn't help but feel excited after hearing the quotation from Zhejiang Satellite TV.
Of course, to a large extent, this is closely related to the super prosperous entertainment program Long Fan contributed to Zhejiang Satellite TV. It can also be understood as the special care of Long Fan from Zhejiang Satellite TV.
Followed by Long Fan's hometown Liao TV, and Hunan TV, which hosted "Super Girl". The former, Long Fan offered a friendship price within the scope he could win, while the latter had to slightly increase the price per episode due to the intervention of Zhejiang TV. Selling price.
The reason why Hehui and Zhejiang Satellite TV compete for Long Fan's new TV series. Hunan TV also has the intention of "borrowing its own strength" and hopes that it can also use the east wind of Long Fan to push the sail and avoid falling behind in the competition with Zhejiang TV.
Even though it knew that it had been manipulated by its old rival in purchasing the film, Hunan TV still did not give up this opportunity and took over the first-run broadcast rights of "Sword and Fairy" at a price that was several hundred thousand yuan higher than that of Zhejiang TV.
Among them, Chen Qiaoen, who is regarded as a rising star in idol dramas, also played a key role. She is the idol sister who became instantly popular in both places with her idol drama. Mango Channel, which is keen on creating trends, has no reason to ignore the potential influence of "Sword and Fairy".
With the arrival of summer, other provincial satellite TV film purchasing departments are also very optimistic about this fantasy masterpiece adapted from a popular online novel and gathering idol stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Unfortunately, it does not have the financial strength of the other two satellite TVs. I can only sigh with excitement while watching the film, and then turn my attention to other traditional TV dramas, hoping to find low-cost and high-viewing works.
Just when the broadcast promotion of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was in full swing. Other TV stations are not willing to lag behind, and have begun to come up with their own promising works, preparing to compete with each other to start a new battle for ratings.
CCTV, which suffered a setback at the beginning of the year, also used its heavyweight weapon this time - the ancient palace drama "Dae Jang Geum", which was just introduced from overseas and was highly praised in South Korea, and vowed to take the opportunity to regain the face of the TV boss.
Different from last year¡¯s collective focus on urban idol dramas, the Korean dramas introduced by major TV stations this year are basically palace dramas, including ¡°The Land¡±, ¡°Legend of the Harem¡±, etc., which also attracted a craze in terms of ratings.
The arrival of "Dae Jang Geum", which has aroused strong attention on the Internet, is also regarded as CCTV's move to turn things around. It can be said that the film has not yet arrived, but the buzz has already started. Countless Korean drama fans are also glad and looking forward to watching this work on Chinese TV stations.
It was first broadcast in 2003. The local ratings have remained around 50%, and it won the highest ratings in South Korea in 2004 with a high rating of 47.8%. The ratings in the finale even reached 57.8%, and it was broadcast for seven months. Long. Direct income of 10 billion won
Various data demonstrate the strong influence of this TV series.
What¡¯s even more exaggerated is that the number of TV viewers dropped sharply for quite some time after ¡°Dae Jang Geum¡± was aired. Some people called this phenomenon the ¡°Sequelae of Dae Jang Geum¡± because there was no TV drama comparable to it after ¡°Dae Jang Geum¡±. This caused a serious decline in ratings.
After being released in South Korea, the show also became popular in Japan, Europe and the United States until this year. It finally entered the Chinese market through CCTV's overseas purchase, and the Korean producers were nervously waiting for the good news about ratings sent back from China.
CCTV, which was eager to regain its TV status, finally set the final broadcast time of "Dae Jang Geum" in mid-June, one time earlier than the time period when "Sword" was broadcast on Zhejiang Province and Hunan Satellite TV. worship.
Since the new drama will be staged in the summer, it is indispensable to do all we can to promote it.
Through Yan Ni, Shang Jing will be guidedAfter inviting the crew, Long Fan took the opportunity to fly back to the capital to participate in the publicity and interviews before the broadcast of "Sword and Fairy".
"Have you heard about that Korean drama?" During the promotion of "Sword and Fairy", Liu Yifei took advantage of the break before the event to come to the lounge where Long Fan was and asked him what he thought about CCTV's introduction of new dramas, " A lot of people have been asking me about this recently, and I don¡¯t know how to answer it. It seems that we are competing with them when we make Sword."
"Dae Jang Geum?" Long Fan looked at Liu Yifei's frowning cheeks and comforted him with a smile, "When I was filming "Struggle", wasn't it said that I was destined to fail? Just don't take it too seriously. ¡±
Long Fan can probably grasp the sharpness of this work. Whether it can compete with it through "Sword of Immortal", Long Fan is not sure, but he is sure that even if it cannot match the ratings, the influence of "Sword of Immortal" The strength is no worse than that.
"I'm always a little worried" Liu Yifei, who is very concerned about her performance, still seems to have a hard time letting go of this worry. Many of her fans also like Korean dramas, and she is afraid that by then, these fans' attention will be focused on Korean dramas.
"An'" After noticing that there was no one around, Long Fan hugged Liu Yifei's shoulders, hoping to give him some encouragement in this way, "With the Dragon Warrior beside you, there is nothing to worry about."
Long Fan has used this method of persuasion several times before when Liu Yifei was in a bad mood, and it worked every time. Except for being called a "pervert" by Liu Yifei at the beginning, it was basically as if he was used to it and there was no objection.
As if it was because of a certain sense of security, Liu Yifei didn't say anything more at this moment. After being hugged by Long Fan for a few seconds, she pulled away for fear of being discovered, leaving behind the lingering fragrance that was still lingering on the tip of Long Fan's nose. The faint fragrance of the voice said, "Okay, it's time to go on stage."
As she spoke, Liu Yifei straightened her clothes that were wrinkled due to physical contact, and then said playfully, "If we lose to the Korean drama, we will really go back to Yuhang Town and become country bumpkins."
"That's a good idea. At least I know a paradise now." Long Fan looked at Liu Yifei, who instantly regained her cute appearance, raised his head and rubbed the back of his head and said with a smile, "I'll take you to play if I have the chance."
