"Well, we just finished shooting two days ago, and we finally filmed the first season.

The original plan was to shoot and broadcast at the same time, so that it could be released earlier, but then I discussed it with Goncharovsky and thought it would be better to shoot it all and then broadcast it.

Because the requirements for this drama were so high, almost every shot had to be polished repeatedly, so the filming was very slow.

In this way, it is impossible to film and broadcast at the same time. You can't broadcast one episode every half a month, otherwise the audience will probably curse."

Serev explained to Wang Ye seriously.

This is understandable to Wang Ye. If you are eager for quick success, you will not be able to produce good works. You must be able to calm down and focus on the details bit by bit, so that the things you shoot will look good.

In addition, the investment in this drama is so huge, Serev and the others are really afraid of screwing up.

If you think about it from his perspective, if you were in Serev's position, you might be more cautious than him.

So, Wang Ye nodded and said with a smile: "It would be great if it can be filmed, then let's arrange for it to be broadcast. I guess many viewers are impatient to wait. I see that this drama has been very popular on the Internet."

When Wang Ye has free time, he occasionally surfs the Internet and checks Facebook.

After all, he is also a politician of the younger generation, and is not out of touch with the Internet generation like the "old guys" like Gryzlov, Zhirinov, and Gorbrev.

Wang Ye also has a personal account on Facebook, and he is also a super V!

It's just that the content on his Facebook is basically written and sent by Nova, and the content is quite diverse, including photos of Wang Ye when he is focused on work, photos of him sitting on the Duma rostrum during a meeting, and photos of him swimming and bowling in his leisure time.

He even drove an off-road vehicle to hunt in virgin forests, practiced marksmanship at the Wagner training base, drove armored vehicles and even armed helicopters.

Anyway, it just highlights one’s versatility!

Moreover, the photos were taken very professionally and the angles were well chosen, making the already handsome Wang Ye look even more outstanding and more dazzling than the so-called stars.

In terms of personal "marketing", Wang Ye was definitely ahead of everyone in the Moscow political arena at that time!

The reason why he spends energy to manage his personal Facebook account is to let the younger generation of netizens understand him and feel more intimate with him, instead of being so distant as a cold name that only exists on TV or in the news.

Maybe you won’t see the benefits of doing this in a short time, but over time, under the influence of subtle influences, as long as Wang Ye is not exposed to any big scandals, the younger generation who hold the votes will have a profound impression on Wang Ye.

good impression.

If Wang Ye needs their support at some point, they will definitely respond with a response, bursting out with amazing energy!

Or votes...

…………

Therefore, Wang Ye is very clear about Internet trends. He said that the drama "Empress Catherine" is very popular on the Internet. He is not joking. In the past year, topics about this drama have hit Facebook from time to time.

Hot list.

Speaking of Facebook’s hot list, this was also created under Wang Ye’s suggestion.

The most discussed topics of the day will be displayed in a special column for everyone to understand.

Of course, Facebook is still very conscientious and does not do any "bidding ranking", which means that even if you want to spend money to get on the hot list, you can't.

The hot topics displayed on the hot list are indeed real, and there is no such thing as spending money to buy them.

On this hot list on Facebook, Wang Ye saw topics about "Empress Catherine" from time to time.

For example, "A conflict broke out on the set of Ye Huang, and the director angrily scolded the actors in public", "An actress expressed to her friends behind her back that she was dissatisfied with the heroine", "The director of the set of Ye Huang told reporters in frustration that the filming was not going well" and so on.

However, Wang Ye didn't bother to click in to see the specific content. It was probably just some gossip paparazzi making things up, or the crew was deliberately trying to create publicity to attract everyone's attention.

…………

Hearing Wang Ye say that this drama is very popular on the Internet, Serev's face lit up with joy.

He quickly said: "There is a reason for this. I think the influence of the Internet is getting stronger and stronger, and may even surpass traditional media in the future, so Taiwan has also established a special department to be responsible for the Internet.

In the drama Ye Huang, the Internet department is trying its best to create hot spots on the Internet through some so-called breaking news that is easy to attract people's attention, attracting everyone's attention to this drama.

After trying it, I feel that this kind of soft propaganda is very effective and is more easily accepted by young people because their participation is relatively high.

Traditional media are at a disadvantage in this regard. No matter how beautifully shot your advertisement is, there are only so many people who can see it, and you cannot play an advertisement 24 hours a day, so the final audience is limited.

So I think TV stations can consider how to transform to the Internet in the future..."

These words made Wang Ye look at Serev with admiration.

Being able to see in early 2007 that traditional media would decline in the future and that Internet media would rise, I have to say that I was very farsighted.

What's even more valuable is that this guy actually figured out a set of Internet self-media routines that would only become popular in a few years...

It seems that there is no shortage of smart people in this world!

…………

Wang Ye nodded and said approvingly:

"Well done. Regarding the Internet, I think you can try boldly and take bigger steps!

In addition to this kind of invisible news soft advertisement, you can also take advantage of your traditional TV stations and shoot some relatively short and beautiful short videos. Perhaps the audience will be larger on the Internet and it will be easier to attract everyone's attention.

I don’t know if you have noticed that in the United States, video websites such as YouTube, MSN VIDEO and GOOGLE VIDEO have emerged and attracted a lot of Internet users."

In 2007, video websites had already emerged and were nothing new.

It’s just that there are no short video websites yet. The model of most video websites is still relatively traditional, with more long videos, but some individual video producers have begun to emerge.

However, traditional media have not paid attention to this trend, and no powerful media companies have ended up. These video websites are all Internet companies.

Serev nodded quickly and responded: "Yes, I have noticed it. However, there are currently no video websites on the Russian Internet that have become popular. I am also considering whether our NTV TV station can rely on its huge film source library to develop it ourselves.

A video website.”

The most important thing about a video website is of course the content, and the early video websites did not attract many individual video shooters, also known as video bloggers. After all, not many people could shoot videos by themselves at that time, and even if there were, they would not be able to do so.

They are all generated by love, just personal interests.

Therefore, if a video website wants to attract a large number of users, it can only spend money to purchase traditional media resources, such as TV series and movies.

In the next ten years or so, video websites will also start to be subdivided.

There are long video websites that focus on movies, TV shows, and online dramas, and there are also short video websites that rely entirely on content created by individual users.

The biggest annual expense for long video websites, in addition to computer room servers and broadband costs, is the cost of acquiring copyrights, which is very expensive.

Serev's idea is correct. Their TV station itself has a huge film source library, and it has huge appeal and connections in the industry. It might not be a bad idea to build a long video website focusing on movies and TV series. Maybe

It's quite promising.

Wang Ye was quite supportive of his idea, and also suggested that Serev could meet and chat with the person in charge of YANDEX or Facebook to see if cooperation could be reached and both parties would jointly fund the project.

After all, NTV is a newbie when it comes to the Internet and does not have the corresponding technical reserves. It just has a relatively large film source library.

As for the Internet, YANDEX and Facebook are veterans and have strong technical capabilities.

If cooperation can be achieved, it will be a strong alliance, and the probability of success will be much greater!

Serev came over today. In addition to reporting on the completion of the filming of "Empress Ekaterina", he also brought the source of the drama so that Wang Ye could take a look at it when he had time, so that if there were any questions or Wang Ye was dissatisfied,

You can also make repairs before the official broadcast.

…………

The dramas Serev sent were burned into a set of CDs. Wang Ye planned to watch them when he went back in the evening, and he notified Rosiana in advance and asked her to come over and watch them together in the evening.

After all, this photo is from Rosiana’s ancestors…

In the evening, in a small screening room on the top floor of the Kitty Eagle Hotel, Wang Ye, Rosiana and Nalan Yaqi happily prepared fruit snacks and tea to watch this movie together.

A major drama released.

I have to say that it is true that money can make people go around.

Because enough money was spent, the shooting specifications of this drama are no less than those of movie blockbusters. The majestic music and shocking scenes at the beginning make people feel that this TV drama is different from the ones they usually watch.

no the same……

After the TV series officially started, the scene layout and character costumes were all very exquisite and sophisticated.

Basically it can be said that it truly restores the aristocratic life of that era.

The protagonist of the previous episodes was Ye Huang from Girls’ Generation, which is the role played by Tonya, so when Tonya appeared, Rosiana asked Wang Yedao teasingly:

"Is this your little ballet star?

Tsk tsk, she is quite beautiful, I feel pity for her.

But judging from her appearance, she seems to be quite young, is she an adult?"

Wang Ye smiled awkwardly and said: "Hey, hey, they are all in college, so they must be adults. They just look smaller."

"Then why don't you ask her to come and watch it together today? She probably hasn't even seen herself on the screen yet." Rosiana asked.

Wang Ye scratched his head, how to answer this question.

He didn't call Tonya over, of course because Rosiana was there!

Although Rosiana didn't mind the women around him, that didn't mean that Wang Ye didn't need to consider her feelings.

Fortunately, the exciting plot quickly attracted Rosiana's attention, and she did not continue to "make things difficult" for Wang Ye, but concentrated on watching TV.

After dinner, it was past eleven o'clock in the evening. Wang Ye couldn't bear it and went to bed, while Rosiana and Nalan Yaqi continued to watch in high spirits.
To be continued...
