Jiang Qinghou spent half a month to complete the post-production of 34 episodes of "Born Together". Of course, the so-called post-production is actually editing, adding subtitles, background music, and not even an interlude. It can be said that Very shabby.
"Old Han, this is our first work. Why don't you come up with a theme song? This is too shameful." Jia Youqian and others immediately surrounded Han Fei.
Han Fei thought about it. He was so busy during this period that he had no time to get out, otherwise he would have been ready long ago.
To be honest, songs for youth campus dramas like this are relatively easy to choose, but Han Fei doesn’t want to randomly choose some campus love songs to insert into the plot. In fact, most people’s campus life has nothing to do with love, and “living together in the same school” is very It may be the last work that everyone will work together, and Han Fei doesn't want the background music that everyone will recall many years later to be a love song without any nutrition.
After a day of hard thinking, Han Fei finally decided on the theme song. Alas, patients with difficulty in choosing are so entangled.
There is also good news from the college. It is said that the school leaders were very satisfied after watching the finished film, so they recommended their work to Beijing TV Station, which has also passed the first round of review.
As soon as this news came out, the entire academy, no, it should be said that the entire art school circle was shocked. Although Beijing Satellite TV was a little embarrassed due to the existence of CCTV, it had to be admitted that Beijing Satellite TV was currently the first echelon of second-tier satellite TV, and also the latest. There is hope to enter the first-line satellite TV.
A group of students wrote, directed, and acted, and the TV series they invested in actually had the opportunity to be on such a platform. Undoubtedly, it was a shot in the arm for the current precarious situation in the domestic film and television industry.
In early September, Tao Yuehua took Han Fei and Jiang Qinghou to Beijing Satellite TV for negotiations.
"No, Old Han, how do you manage to be so calm?" Jiang Qinghou has always had an unruly temper, but facing the Beijing TV, he was still nervous. He didn't sleep all night last night, and he almost had to put on makeup because of the dark circles under his eyes. Can't even cover it.
Han Fei patted this guy on the shoulder: "Where is this? When we discuss cooperation with CCTV, that will be considered a success."
Jiang Qinghou secretly rolled his eyes. This guy pretended well and must be given full marks.
"You all should be quiet, don't even look at where we are, and you still have the trouble to show off to me." Tao Yuehua glared at the two men.
Han Fei could only shrug his shoulders and express his innocence. Not to mention that Tao Yuehua was wearing a professional suit today, which was really different from usual, and had a different charm.
After sitting on the bench for almost an hour, Han Fei and his party were finally brought into the conference room.
The people who received them were a man and a woman. Looking at the nameplates on their chests, they were clerks in the purchasing department. Han Fei knew at a glance that there was definitely no chance of success today. It was clear that these two people had no ability to make decisions.
Sure enough, these two asked various questions, from various certificates to whether there were any violations, but they never mentioned whether Beijing Satellite TV had any purchase intention.
After staying up all morning, I sent Han Fei and the others away.
In the following week, they met twice more, but the result was the same. The person in charge did not show up or express his position. Han Fei was really impatient, so he quickly asked Tao Yuehua to find some connections to see if he could get the word out. Come.
As a result, people talked about it privately, saying that the overall environment in the film and television industry was too bad. Each satellite TV broadcasted a limited number of dramas every year, but there were too many dramas purchased in the past few years, let alone college students like them.
Even many listed film and television companies have at least one A-level production that they cannot distribute.
Although what he said was relatively obscure, Han Fei still generally understood it. To put it bluntly, there was an excess of hot money in the film and television industry, and various satellite TV stations also made a lot of money.
But our satellite TV is different from those film and television companies. Their leaders have a far-sighted view. It is obvious that it was too easy to make money in those years, and the profits were so huge that it was scary. All the profits cannot be reported. After all, you have paid so much this year. Is it a task next year?
Is it going to increase? The big leaders above don’t look at the general environment. They only look at, last year there were so many, why is there less this year? Are you not working hard?
This matter is difficult to handle. This money is too much. You can’t just hold a meeting and divide it all. That is illegal. But the leader’s wisdom is infinite. Can I spend it reasonably and legally at the head office?
So I started to purchase TV series in large quantities. After all, they are assets after purchase, and I won’t be afraid of them if they are checked by the authorities. Well, perfect.
Sure enough, the situation has not been good in the past few years. All satellite TV stations have also tightened their budgets, and they have purchased too many TV dramas in the past few years. We just took this opportunity to clear out their stocks. Except for a few A-level productions, there are currently no TV dramas on the market.
It has been difficult to arouse the interest of major TV stations, but it is not easy to tell the outside world about this kind of thing. The purchasing department also does the daily work, but does not make a decision.
After understanding the situation, Tao Yuehua and Jiang Qinghou were very depressed. Did they spend a long time together to play with them?
Unlike the two people who looked sad, Han Fei felt relaxed. Now that he understood the crux, he had a direction. What he feared most was endlessly spinning in the maze.
"Since satellite TV is unreliable, let's try an online video platform."
Both Tao Yuehua and Jiang Qinghou were a little disappointed. After all, online dramas are just online dramas. The influence of a TV series broadcast on satellite TV is unmatched by online dramas.
Han Fei found that he seemed to be incompatible with traditional media, and there were no examples of successful cooperation. Relatively speaking, he was quite happy to cooperate with Internet companies.
For example, at Penguin FM, Han Fei immediately contacted their operations director.
The operations director of Penguin FM was completely stunned when he heard that Han Fei was going to talk to their brother company Penguin Video about purchasing TV series.
"Isn't your business expanding too fast?"
Han Fei smiled and said nothing, and the operations director smiled bitterly and said: "I can only try to help you make an appointment with their purchasing director. I am really not up to the level of manager. As you know, we are said to be brotherly units, but after all,
He is a legitimate son, we can only be regarded as concubines."
"Thank you very much." Han Fei said sincerely.
On the other hand, the news that "Welcome Together" could not be broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV soon spread in the college. From teachers to students, everyone was actually quite disappointed, let alone those who participated in the filming and expected to be shown on Beijing Satellite TV.
classmates.
This news quickly spread in the art school circles. As sensational as the news was originally, the cold looks and ridicule it received now were as intense as those of some art schools with direct competition. They began to write all kinds of ridicules.
of jokes.
For example, "Let me tell you a joke, Jingying Film's student work is going to be broadcast on the stars." "Han Fei's halo is no longer there. Facts have proved that the higher he flies, the harder he falls."
Both parties are energetic college students, so fierce battles are inevitable on various forums. After all, Jingying Film only has so few people. No matter how united they are, they will only suffer in this regard.
At this time, Han Fei was on the flight to Pengcheng.
