What should I do if I have a childhood sweetheart who wants to be a singer? Chapter 170: Fairy Sword II is scheduled to be aired, why is it all postponed?
Chapter 170: Fairy Sword II is scheduled to be aired, why is it all postponed?
More than a week has passed since the filming of "Soldier Assault" officially started.
The filming progress was much faster than Xu Ji imagined.
Mainly because of the support from the military region.
During this period, for Xu Ji's drama, Hu Lan basically called in some troops who could help and cooperate with the entire crew to shoot.
On the contrary, Xu Ji felt a little embarrassed.
During the filming process, you don’t even need to prepare props, all are real.
Of course, for the sake of safety, it must have been specially handled, and there were soldiers from the army serving as consultants to the crew throughout the process.
"No, no, no!"
"Minister Hu, you are too polite!"
"The time in the script is set more than ten years ago."
Xu Ji hung up the phone with some embarrassment.
Of course it was Hu Lan calling.
The other party actually asked Xu Ji if the "props" used for filming were a little too outdated.
There are more advanced ones in the army that the crew can use at will.
Hu Lan's enthusiasm was a bit too much, and she was afraid that she wouldn't take enough care of the crew of "Soldier Assault".
However, due to the historical background of the entire drama, too advanced weapons are not used.
So Xu Ji could only decline the other party's kindness.
......
Also, the troop training that was conducted in advance was of great use.
Let the actors in the crew adapt quickly to the current high-intensity shooting.
Even Ji Yiyang and some other actors almost developed abdominal muscles during the training period.
After filming the entire drama, I estimate that I won’t have to worry about my body shape management in the future.
"Brother Yang, isn't this shooting schedule a little too rushed?"
Xu Sanduo's actor Liu Baofeng is the only actor younger than Ji Yiyang in the crew.
At the beginning, Liu Baofeng was worried that Ji Yiyang might be difficult to get along with because of his high popularity.
But soon, because of Ji Yiyang's more casual personality, he gradually became familiar with him.
Ji Yiyang answered:
"Don't worry, you'll be fine as long as you get used to it!"
"This is Director Xu's style of filming."
After all, this is not the first time Ji Yiyang has joined Xu Ji's crew. He has been the leading actor in so many of Xu Ji's dramas before, and he is already familiar with Xu Ji's director's style.
Although the current filming progress is very fast, it is normal for Xu Ji.
"Let's play the show again!"
Ji Yiyang said.
During this time, he became more and more involved in the role, and gradually began to enjoy filming itself.
In the past, it was Liu Baofeng who took the initiative to play with Ji Yiyang in private, but now it's the other way around.
......
"Finally done!!!"
Mountain Studio.
After watching all the post-production special effects of Sword and Sword II, Yi Zi said happily.
Others in the studio also burst into cheers.
During this period, Mountain Studio completely took over the final finishing work.
Even with intense overtime work almost every day, the post-production special effects project of Sword and Sword II met Yi Zi’s inner requirements within the prescribed time.
Although the project has left Honghu Studio, it is only the final finishing touch after all, and it is not a very difficult task for Shanyue Studio.
The news that the post-production special effects of Sword and Sword II was completed reached the crew of "Soldier Assault", and Xu Ji had to go back to Chengdu for the final review work.
Xu Ji was very satisfied with the special effects production of Sword and Sword II after seeing the finished film.
In the future, Youman and Station G can coordinate the specific launch time of Sword and Sword II and related publicity work.
......
Not long after Xu Ji left, a group of unexpected people came to Tongji Entertainment.
Relevant persons in charge of the three major TV stations.
All three parties want to get the exclusive TV broadcast rights of Sword and Sword II.
"Director Xu is no longer in Chengdu?"
Hearing Youman's answer, the person in charge of the Hongfang TV station was a little surprised.
But he soon realized that Youman should also be able to make the decision.
After all, it was Youman who negotiated with them about the copyright of Xianjianyi at that time.
The person in charge of Blue Ocean TV also realized it instantly and said directly:
"If Fairy Sword II premieres with us this time, we can pay 300 million in copyright fees!"
Seeing this, the heads of the Orange Blossom and Hongfang families also made offers.
However, Youman took the initiative to stop the three of them and said directly:
"This time we are still selling the TV rights of Sword and Sword II through simulcast."
"The cost is 5 million per episode."
"You don't have to bid anymore."
"If you agree, you can sign the contract now."
Such conditions were proposed by Xu Ji.
They have to be sold anyway, and the copyright fees for the exclusive broadcast rights of the three companies are estimated to be more than 10 million.
It is better to sell the simulcast rights directly, so as not to offend the three major local TV stations.
In fact, some other TV stations were also interested in Fairy Sword II during this period.
But obviously, there is still a big gap between the capital budgets of some other local TV stations and the three major TV stations.
In the end, the only ones who could afford to buy the copyright were these three companies with deep pockets and not much money.
After Youman finished speaking, the heads of the three TV stations looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.
In fact, for them, it is definitely best to get the exclusive broadcast rights.
In this way, there is no need to worry about the ratings being divided by the other two companies.
But if Tongji Entertainment only plans to sell simulcast rights, it has no choice but to accept it.
At this time, none of the three people thought about giving up just because it was a simulcast right.
Although the right to broadcast is of little significance, it cannot be left out, especially when the other two companies have it.
Moreover, this drama is also Xu Ji's Sword and Sword II. No one knows that this drama's ratings are estimated to have no rivals during the same period.
Therefore, the simulcast rights must be obtained.
......
In the end, the three of them signed the contract with Tongji Entertainment.
Each company won the simulcast rights to Fairy Sword II for about 180 million.

Youman had already expected it, and even the contract was ready.
After successfully selling the TV rights, the next step is to enter into a relevant contract with Station G.
Because the cost of Fairy Sword II is about 230 million, including some later publicity and distribution costs, it is almost 240 million.
According to the cooperation treaty between the two parties, the copyright fee this time is 360 million.
According to the current popularity of Sword and Sword II, the cost of 360 million is equivalent to the price of less than 10 million per episode, and it is the exclusive broadcast rights.
Station G is completely earned through hard work.
Needless to say, the three major websites, Penguin Video, Kiwi Video, and Tudou Video, if they can get the exclusive online broadcast rights of Sword and Sword II, the price offered will definitely be more than this figure.
However, Xu Ji and G Station have reached a cooperation and purchased more than just the copyright of a drama.
In addition, Tongji Entertainment will share in the subsequent related membership fees.
So on the contrary, it seems to be a little advantageous in the cost of copyright fees.
.......
The review of Fairy Sword II is very fast.
I don’t know if it’s because of Duan Shengyu, but this time the Film and Television Bureau, which was originally strict and inefficient in its review process, passed the review in less than two days.
After G station successfully obtained the completed film of "Legend of Sword and Fairy II", the entire film and television department became busy.
He began to devote all his energy to the promotion of Fairy Sword II.
Less than an hour after G station related publicity was released, the news of Sword and Sword 2’s release date immediately topped the trending search on Weibo, and a dazzling word “explosion” appeared next to the entry.
At the same time, the official Weibo of Legend of Sword and Fairy also announced the specific broadcast time of Sword and Fairy II.
It’s set for December 1st this year.
There is only more than a week left until the final broadcast time.
This broadcast was not only broadcast on the three major TV stations, but also broadcast exclusively on G station.
Netizens on the Internet were instantly excited when they saw the news of the broadcast of Sword and Sword II.
"It's actually going to be aired in December? That's great!"
"Finally the schedule is set!!! [Excited.jpg]"
"The long-awaited Sword of Sword II is finally here! Now there is a new drama to follow in December!"
"Hurry up and broadcast it, why do you have to wait for more than a week? All members of my G station have been activated!"
"After Sword of Sword One, I also watched a lot of fairy dramas, but they didn't taste that way at all. They were still like the original ancient puppet dramas, and they weren't considered fairy dramas at all!"
"I only recognize Xian Jian Yi in fairy tale dramas! Except for Xu Ji, none of the films made by other directors can be considered fairy tale dramas in my opinion!"
......
At the same time, Fairy Sword II also released posters of related characters.
Ji Yiyang, An Cailing, She Yue.
The three leading actors of Sword and Sword One gather together again.
In addition, there are Ran Bai and Zhu Zinan whose looks have changed from Ma Defu and Shui Hua in "Mountains and Seas".
I have to say that the makeup and styling alone have already made many netizens shout back.
However, many people have discovered problems.
"Damn it! Why are there so many posters of Ji Yiyang's character?"
"I also discovered that Ran Bai also played three roles!"
"She Yue too!"
I saw it among the posters of related characters released.
Ji Yiyang even sent four at once.
The shape and style of each picture are also completely different.
From the funny Sedum, to the heroic Fei Peng, to Long Yang with a solemn expression, and finally to the familiar Li Xiaoyao.
The same goes for Ran Bai and She Yue.
There is more than one character poster.
This situation makes netizens even more curious about the plot of Sword and Sword II.
The sudden release of Sword and Sword II caused a stir.
Netizens have been frantically analyzing and discussing it all day long.
Many netizens who have suffered sequelae from The Legend of Sword and Fairy One have even begun to analyze whether there will be a subsequent knife attack based on the posters released.
Of course, with just a simple poster, there won’t be many useful clues.
At the same time, some dramas that were originally scheduled to be broadcast in December have been quickly withdrawn and rescheduled.
I don’t want my drama to collide with Fairy Sword II.
Even the official Weibo of many dramas that had already been scheduled for release have posted news that their tickets have been postponed!
"Due to force majeure, "Mountain Adventure" has canceled its original broadcast time on December 1st. The specific broadcast time is to be determined."
"We deeply apologize for the impact caused by the sudden change of broadcast time of "Beauty Flower"..."
""Broken Bridge" will be rescheduled from December to next year. Please stay tuned!"
......
"Is this Fairy Sword II really that scary?"
"Why do they all ask to reschedule?"
Penguin Video, Xu Sheng frowned and said after hearing what his assistant just said.
Originally, Penguin Video planned to launch a lot of new dramas in December.
There are more than ten films, with production scales ranging from large to small.
There is no shortage of dramas that have great potential to become hits.
But at this time, there were nearly three-quarters of the new dramas, and the drama studios called and asked for an extension.
In other words, a new drama that has had a lot of ticket delays.
Let Penguin Video suddenly become a window period in December.
Except for some low-cost dramas with low production costs and no potential to become hits, only a few small-budget dramas remain.
"Mr. Xu, do we agree?"
After all, the contract was signed, and the copyright is now in the hands of Penguin Video.
If they ask to go online, there is nothing the show can do.
Xu Sheng fell into deep thought after hearing the assistant's words.
After final hesitation, he sighed, shook his head and said:
"Forget it."
"Let's reschedule everything. We'll give up on the December market for the time being."
Xu Sheng wanted to express his disagreement with the postponement.
But I can’t bear the current limelight of Sword and Sword II. It’s too scary.
He doesn't want to be stubborn and really goes head-on.
.......
The same situation also occurs in Potato Video and Kiwi Video.
Both parties have also received a lot of news about the rescheduling of the show.
The number is no less than Penguin Video.
December is actually the so-called end of the year, a time when competition is fiercer.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
It is easy to produce hit dramas.
Therefore, whether the three major websites purchased copyrighted dramas or invested in their own productions, many of them are scheduled to go online this month.
Now, because of the scheduled release of Sword and Sword 2, or even simply releasing a few character posters, many drama producers have been scared to change the broadcast time overnight.
......
Of course, although Xu Sheng is not convinced, he still has confidence this time, or there are people who want to give it a try.
Tudou Video has even moved most of its scheduled dramas to next year.
But as for Kiwi, Congzhu had mentioned it several times in meetings, and even went to the company's president, Hu Lei, to persuade him for a long time.
But the other party wanted to take a chance.
"Other dramas have been rescheduled. If the Fairy Sword Strikes Back by then, then this will be our opportunity to produce these self-produced dramas by Kiwi!"
"This will be an opportunity. Although there are risks, the benefits are great!"
“December is a time when year-end hit dramas are easily released!”
......
Seeing Hu Lei's eyes shining, Cong Zhu also knew that it would be useless to talk more.
No matter how much I try to persuade him, he probably won’t look back.
Congzhu always felt that since the last time she raised the threat posed by the cooperation between Xu Ji and G Station.
Hu Lei and several other vice presidents always want to prove that Xu Ji is not that amazing.
Not every drama can create a myth.
Fortunately, a few people also knew that the popularity of Fairy Sword II was so high, so they didn’t plan to risk it completely.
Congzhu still saved some dramas that he was optimistic about and had potential, and they were rescheduled from December to next year.
Otherwise, these December Kiwi dramas will really be wiped out.
The copyright fees for these dramas in the last quarter of this year will probably cause Kiwi to suffer huge losses.
......
At the same time, Sha Yetong from Chengdu did not take up any acting roles during this period, but pursued Sword and Sword II at Tongji Entertainment.
During the time of Fairy Sword One, Sha Yetong was extremely sad after reading the script.
Even after the follow-up drama aired, I cried a second time after watching it.
So this time when Fairy Sword 2 came out, Sha Yetong didn't read the script.
Just wait for the finished movie to come out before watching the series.
Sha Yetong just started watching, but she slowly relaxed her vigilance.
