Chapter 489 The broadcast schedule of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'
Although Xu Ji originally signed a contract with Kiwi, he actually didn't think too much about this issue.
It's just that Youman said that we shouldn't only maintain exclusive cooperation with Station G, as this would be too passive for them.
So I agreed.
Thinking of this, Xu Ji suddenly felt relieved.
That's right, since I listened to Youman's opinion on this matter, he doesn't need to worry about it in the future.
"It's up to you to decide, I don't have any objections."
Hearing Xu Ji's words, Youman was a little helpless, but he was completely expecting it.
"Can't you have a little snack?"
Xu Ji asked back: "Do you think my suggestions have any great effect?"
Youman thought for a while, then shook his head decisively.
"should not."
Xu Ji: "That's fine, it will save us both time."
"I won't cause any trouble for you."
Youman couldn't say anything more after hearing this.
She has long been familiar with the way Xu Ji, the company boss, behaves.
Fortunately, Youman had made some preparations beforehand.
Otherwise, it’s really hard to tell.
...
"Although we have also signed a cooperation agreement with Kiwi Fruit, the conditions in the contract are actually not very restrictive."
"Even giving them one drama a year is in line with the regulations."
"Of course, there is no need to be so entangled. In fact, the choice of platform has been decided before, so we don't need to think too much."
Youman said slowly.
Although she had thought of these before, Xu Ji was still the boss of the company after all, and such important decisions still needed to be reported truthfully in advance.
"How do you say that?"
Xu Ji didn't react at first.
Youman continued to explain: "It's like several dramas we are going to air in the future."
"Such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" series."
"Because the previous games were all launched on G station, it is obviously the best choice for us to broadcast them on G station."
"But for the two dramas you are going to start filming today, you can consider cooperating with Kiwi in the future."
...
After hearing Youman's words, Xu Ji also understood.
Obviously, many of the dramas produced by Tongji Entertainment are series.
For example, the previous "Sword of Immortality" and subsequent suspense theater series, including the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series and martial arts dramas such as "The Condor" and "The Condor".
It is obviously not suitable to broadcast on different platforms separately.
This is also unfriendly to the audience.
Apart from these dramas, some others can be given priority to be broadcast on Kiwi.
If you decide according to such standards, you will really be able to avoid a lot of unnecessary entanglements.
"Okay, that's it. Sister Man, your idea is indeed the best choice."
When Youman faced Xu Ji's compliment, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"This is something everyone can think of."
But Youman didn't think there was any problem.
After all, in her opinion, Xu Ji really didn't need to spend energy on these things.
It is enough for Xu Ji to have those wonderful scripts and music in his head, but there is no need for these other things to exist.
These small things can be handled by other people in the company.
Youman's positioning of himself has always been this way.
Although she has always been responsible for managing the company, Youman knows that the core of Tongji is Xu Ji, which cannot be replaced by anyone else.
...
"Is "Wulin Gaiden" finished?"
——"Yes, Cong Zong, the finale was aired last weekend, and it was very popular. The audience was discussing the finale at night."
"Many people are even talking about hoping for a second season."
"But judging from the plot, there should be no follow-up episodes. Otherwise, according to Xu Ji's style, it is unlikely that there will be no foreshadowing of the plot of the second season."
Qi Guo, Cong Zhu’s assistant explained very clearly the situation of “Wulin Gaiden” that just concluded.
Of course she knew enough about it, after all, the assistant was one of the audience members who followed him from beginning to end.
It can even be said that I am a die-hard fan of this drama, and I am naturally familiar with the plot.
Part of the reason is due to Congzhu's arrangement, but it is also because the assistant himself likes the show and will watch it as soon as possible every time the series is updated.
"Tell me, have Tongji Entertainment's new dramas already passed the review process?"
Congzhu suddenly asked.
The assistant was stunned for a moment, but couldn't come up with an answer.
The main reason is that Tongji Entertainment does a good job of keeping its new dramas secret.
Almost before the show is completely confirmed to be aired, relevant news is rarely released.
Some other crew members, in order to increase the popularity of the show, wish that relevant Reuters news could be spread everywhere.
But Tongji Entertainment's dramas are just the opposite, because there is little concern about popularity after the drama itself is broadcast.
Therefore, the initial confidentiality work was surprisingly good.
Under this situation, it is difficult for other video platforms such as Qiguo to get the first time news, and it is easy to be caught off guard by Tongji Entertainment’s sudden announcement of a new drama.
However, the previous Kiwi was worried and fearful of Tongji Entertainment’s new drama.
But now, it has turned into expectation.
After all, we have reached a cooperation with Tongji Entertainment, and the platform will be able to exclusively broadcast Tongji’s new dramas in the future.
"Cong Zong, do you mean that after the broadcast of "Wulin Gaiden" is over, there will be a new drama in Tongji?"
The assistant quickly understood what Congzhu meant and asked.
Congzhu nodded, she was basically sure of this.
As the company of Tongji Entertainment grows bigger and bigger, coupled with the changes brought about by various other circumstances, it is actually easy to think of it.
Nowadays, almost every drama in Tongji is trying to achieve a seamless connection in schedule.
In this way, almost no matter when your drama is broadcast, the chance of encountering Tongji Entertainment is unavoidable.
This is not good news for the three major platforms.
Of course, Kiwi Fruit is at least slightly better, after all, they also cooperate with Tongji.
If you are lucky enough, maybe Tongji's popular film and television drama will be broadcast on their platform.
...
"Then, Boss, should we contact Tongji in advance?"
"Try your best to get the next series to be broadcast on our Kiwi."
The assistant asked naturally.
But Congzhu just shook his head silently.
"No need."
"Or it's useless."
Congzhu doesn’t think Tongji’s new drama will have any advance arrangements for the broadcast platform.
If this is the case, even if they contact them in advance, Tongji's new drama will still be given to Station G, and there probably won't be any big changes.
And if her guess is correct, Tongji's new drama this time will probably be "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
The previous "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was broadcast on Station G. As a follow-up martial arts drama that is equivalent to a sequel, Tongji is unlikely to be broadcast on their Kiwi.
At this time, what should be considered is not fighting for the broadcast rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Instead, I was thinking about how to avoid some martial arts dramas that were filmed during the same period because they followed the trend of The Condor Shooting.
With the schedule bumping up, the scariest thing is that it's still the same type of drama as Tongji's.
It is almost possible to declare the death penalty in advance.
“Do you have the copyright for the martial arts dramas produced or purchased on our platform?”
"Especially when there are plans to air it recently."
"If we find out, just postpone the broadcast."
"It is estimated that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will be aired soon."
Congzhu said calmly.
Although the assistant didn't know how Congzhu knew that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was going to be broadcast.
But he still silently agreed.
In fact, what Congzhu likes most is that Tongji aired a similar series on Kiwi.
It would be best if it is something like Ghost Blowing the Lantern, where the series is not short and the drama itself is very popular.
In this case, even if there is a limit on quantity, it can still ensure that Kiwi can steadily obtain series series with solid IP from Tongji Entertainment.
The benefits it can bring to kiwi fruit are also the greatest.
...
Of course, things were pretty much what Congzhu had guessed.
Almost not long after the finale of "Wulin Gaiden", Station G received news about Tongji.
That is to say, the production of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has been completed, and the Film and Television Bureau has also passed the relevant review very quickly.
Under such circumstances, the happiest person is of course Chi Jiang, the head of the film and television department.
Originally, he thought that although he had reached a cooperation with Tongji this time, the subsequent new dramas would most likely go to Kiwi.
But now it seems that Tongji Entertainment’s main partner is still G Station.
In other words, after so many years of cooperation, Tongji and G station have slowly been bound together.
Especially for many dramas, everyone is already used to them being broadcast on Station G and has a lot of experience with them.
For example, this time "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", because the prequel "Shooting the Condor Heroes" is broadcast on Station G, even if Tongji Entertainment doesn't tell you, Chi Jiang also knows that the best choice is to broadcast it on Station G.
Giving it to the kiwi fruit was not the right decision.
"Mr. Chi, do we need to make an advance announcement here?"
The two deputy ministers of the film and television department asked at this time.
Chi Jiang nodded without hesitation.
"Of course."
"But there's no need to use too much force."
Chi Jiang is quite cautious about the promotion of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
After all, although this drama has not been aired yet, the original novel has actually become popular and already has a huge reader base.
In fact, it belongs to the type of adaptation of the original work that has its own popularity, plus factors such as the production of Tongji Entertainment and the script written by Xu Ji, the original author.
There is almost no need for too much publicity, and there is a high probability that you can get a pretty good effect.
But the crux of the problem still lies in the plot.
When the original work first came out, Xu Ji was scolded badly.
This time it is broadcast as a TV series. It is conceivable that the relevant plot discussions will definitely become the so-called hardest hit area.
If possible, so-called publicity must definitely avoid this aspect.
It's best to just hit it as far as it will go, but it's not advisable to use too much force.
It’s not just that Xu Ji is afraid of being scolded. Anyway, it’s not the first time that Xu Ji has been scolded. These are all minor issues.
But it would be a bit bad if the show itself encountered massive boycotts before it even aired.
Of course, when it comes to this point, Chi Jiang actually has some doubts about whether Xu Ji wrote the original novel with this aspect in mind.
Because of some controversial plot issues, the novel was released early.
In this way, after everyone is emotionally scolded, the level of acceptance will be higher when the TV series is broadcast.
There are actually quite a lot of relevant interpretations of the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" now.
Chi Jiang is also a fan of martial arts novels, and has read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" three times.
Therefore, the so-called design statement of Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu that the world is incompetent has gradually been accepted by the outside world.
And the entire martial arts story, apart from the influence of this part, has many, many exciting contents.
This is also the reason why even though the novel was criticized a lot when it was released, there are still so many readers who followed it and saw the finale.
...
"The lead actor is actually Lin Li?"
Chi Jiang was a little surprised when he saw the news from Tongji about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"Is the news true?"
"Is it the long-lost little fresh meat Lin Li?"
Everyone in the film and television department also seemed a little surprised.
Obviously, although Tongji's side of the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has done a very good job of keeping it secret.
But some news was still revealed, that is, the starring role of Yang Guo is Lin Li.
This is still surprising.
After all, in the eyes of many people, Lin Li's acting skills are indeed far behind.
"I guess it's because Ji Yiyang starred in The Condor Shooting before."
"Otherwise, Ji Yiyang is actually a very good candidate."
Chi Jiang opened his mouth and guessed.
"But don't worry, although Lin Li could only be regarded as a popular actor before."
"But after all, he is considered an actor in Tongji now, so there will most likely be big changes."
After hearing Chi Jiang's words, others could only nod and choose to trust.
Although Lin Li's previous acting skills have been criticized by many people, Tongji Entertainment can be regarded as a company that can create miracles.
In fact, the acting skills of Ji Yiyang, An Cailing and others before were not good, and they could only be like flower vases.
But now, wouldn’t he also become a representative of the acting school among young actors?
At least before the news came out, Lin Li had completely disappeared from the public eye. If he played Yang Guo, he would definitely have devoted all his energy to it.
...
In fact, it is the same as Chi Jiang thought.
In fact, the reason why "Legend of the Condor Heroes" took such a long time to film has a lot to do with the male protagonist Lin Li.
As a director, Yang Anran put almost most of his energy in directing actors on Lin Li.
Many of the shots in the entire film were really polished over and over again.
Fortunately, Lin Li was also considerate and would not complain about anything. It was considered to be very good and even exceeded the expectations of Yang Anran and Xu Ji.
In fact, the most critical reason why some so-called young actors are criticized for their acting skills is that they do not have time to study their roles and acting skills.
After all, in addition to acting, their company also hopes that they can make money.
Therefore, the filming cycle of a drama will be shortened as much as possible, and it will never affect the actors' schedules.
There were even announcements about acting while also accepting roles from advertisers, etc.
For people like Lin Li, if they have the opportunity to devote themselves wholeheartedly to acting, and the company also strongly supports them, they will not think about making money quickly. It is almost non-existent.
Even Lin Li himself actually enjoyed this process.
It's much better than the feeling he had before when he was busy but making no progress.
Although he has been taking a break after filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he is also looking forward to making everyone admire him when the show is aired.
