"The author of The Legend of Zhen Huan must be a fan of Dream of Red Mansions, because he has deeply absorbed the concept of Dream of Red Mansions: all the reds are in the same cave."
"Excellent script and a skilled creative team, lifelike characters, logically logical story, rich and gorgeous costumes, refined lines, wow wow wow, a divine drama was born!"
"Sister Xishan is so beautiful! I predict that in this drama, she will play from eighteen to eighty!"
"One word: praise! One word: divine drama! In one word: the plot is gripping, following Zhen Huan through palace battles and love affairs, the scenes and details are exquisite, and there are many things to study and ponder!"
"You have to have high quality, you have to have the best of all, and you have to have the best acting skills. My Zhen Huan, I'm waiting for you every night!"
"Yin Zhen, played by Chen Jianbin, can be called an emperor through the ages!"
"In the harem, Concubine Hua and the Queen are fighting against each other. All forces are involved. It is extremely dangerous. Zhen Huan, be careful!"
"The love-hate entanglement in the harem is interpreted to the extreme. In addition, I love Jin Xishan, Liu Qingshan, how can you be so virtuous and capable?"
"The costume drama has a modern flavor, which is very rare!"
"When the emperor chose the title for An Lingrong, Zhen Huan: The character "俪" means good looks. It is a beautiful connotation of a pair, and it can also refer to the deep love between husband and wife. It is really excellent."
"Queen: You crazy guy, do you know what you are talking about?"
"The emperor's heart is like a durian, and the top is full of people."
"The characters in the bureau have full and vivid personalities, they are not superficial, and they have foreshadowing, and the acting skills of all the members are on point!"
"Are all the people who can talk gathered in this TV series?"
"How can a concubine with no favor and no heir survive this day and night in the deep palace?"
"I love this show so much, it gets better and better like wine!"
"Rather than saying that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is a drama, it is better to say that it is an emotional memory rooted in the hearts of the public. It carries the emotions of netizens like a tree hole."
"In this impetuous fast food era, people need a stable emotional window to express their joys and sorrows. Gongdouju, here I come!"
...
At this time, Liu Qingshan was receiving a call from Shanghai TV.
Putting down the phone, he smiled and nodded at Jin Xishan who was looking forward to it: "The first episode broke through 2, and it has soared to 4.3 at the end of the second episode. We succeeded!"
Today's TV series, if the average ratings exceed 2, it can be regarded as excellent; if it exceeds 3, it means the birth of a popular drama.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" actually reached 4.3 in the first two episodes, which is already considered the beginning of the drama.
There was a hint of worry in Jin Xishan's smile: "Of course I'm happy to have such a high ratings when it first aired, but as far as I know, the highest ratings for mainland dramas in the past two years are only 4.8, right? Will our drama be successful? Drive high and go low?"
Liu Qingshan shook his head and said happily: "What? Are you so unsure of yourself? I actually thought that it would be impossible to fall in the future, but would only be higher! Don't you believe that we can make a bet?"
He was well aware that the original series once broke through the 10% mark and became extremely popular in China and won numerous awards.
Later, it even went abroad, setting off a viewing frenzy in Southeast Asia, cold countries, and small island countries. It even went to the ocean to introduce Laos and the United States, and truly entered the overseas market.
The translation of the characters and lines in the play aroused heated discussions among Chinese netizens, and its influence expanded again. It was continuously replayed on different platforms for ten consecutive years. This is where it went.
According to statistics, a certain provincial satellite TV rebroadcast "The Legend of Zhen Huan" no less than 10 times in half a year, and the first broadcast platform Satellite TV once rebroadcast it 13 times in one year, breaking the previous record of "Huan Zhuge Ge".
After going out, Wandao was re-broadcast three times in a row, and even broadcast 7 episodes every day for the 9 days of the New Year, breaking the 2 ratings, with about 2.2 million people watching every day, with a peak of 2.38.
You must know that this drama has collectively brainwashed almost all the women in the Bay Island several times before this. It still has such a high ratings, which is enough to show that besides its plot, there are many implications that deserve more in-depth study.
Contains exists.
Especially in small island countries, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" became a hot topic as soon as it was aired, with an audience of 39.27 million people. How many people does that country have?
"I won't make a bet with you, I've never won!" Jin Xishan suddenly became happy as he thought of something, "Sister Huizhen called me and said that both SSB and CC wanted to introduce "The Legend of Zhen Huan"! "
Liu Qingshan's eyes lit up: "This is a good thing! I thought about it, but I didn't expect them to find them so quickly!"
"That's right! It's only been aired for two episodes, and I'm not sure yet!"
"Sister Xishan, what are you thinking? You have been working on this project all along, and you can make the decision yourself! But I suggest you not to be too arrogant, and don't always remember that you are the one who came from CC!"
"Sister knows what to do, and I don't feel like I owe them anything. The several projects you helped my sister plan for them in the past two years are enough to repay their investment in me over the past seven years!"
She signed into CC before she was twenty. She came to the mainland to develop at the age of 26. She will be thirty next year. In less than three years in China, she has achieved far more career development than she did in Han Country.
Moreover, she participated in "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" more than a year ago, and she actually gave back to the company in her own way.
"I see, isn't the Seoul International Television Festival going to invite you? Take this opportunity to go back and shoot our new drama in mid-October. I'll help you set up the crew for the time being!"
"Aren't you invited too? Besides, this is the first time this event will be held. All parties in Seoul attach great importance to it. Mayor Jin Chengzhong even called you personally!"
This TV festival is sponsored by the Cold Country Broadcasting Association and co-organized by the three largest TV stations. It is different from internationally renowned TV awards such as the International Emmy Awards and Shanghai TV Festival. The awards only focus on TV series and do not involve other variety shows. form of television works.
Moreover, the TV Festival is oriented to the whole world, and works from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places in China have been selected.
The newly appointed mayor did personally call and invite Liu Qingshan, but at that time he was filming "Ip Man" in Hong Kong and did not give a clear answer.
"I have thought about this matter, and then I will explain it to Mayor Jin. In addition, I will give you another TV drama script, so that Sister Xishan can take the initiative when the copyright of the subsequent drama series is introduced!"
Those two TV stations are definitely not the only ones who want to buy the copyright of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". According to the method they discussed before, the best way is to bid, so as to obtain the maximum benefit.
But both he and Jin Xishan have many cooperation projects with CC, and Jin Xishan still has a certain emotional foundation with them.
Therefore, in order to prevent Snowland Entertainment’s works from lowering their value overseas, the output method of the first work is extremely critical.
With a successful start, the future rules will be formed. Liu Qingshan does not want to give in on this point, even if it is an old relationship with CC.
Jin Xishan immediately understood his thinking: "If there is a role that I like, can I participate in it?"
"The age range of this drama is very large. Each role has two young and middle-aged characters. Different people will be found to play the roles. Although I predict that it will have a high national popularity in the future, I still recommend that you continue our project in the mainland. !」
"Okay, I understand! Or is it a miniseries?"
"Yes, there are sixteen episodes in total, but each episode is as long as a movie, 90 minutes!"
"Oh, how long is conscience? Or is it being filmed and broadcast at the same time?"
"It's the same as the first one, and we don't give up our casting privileges!"
According to Liu Qingshan's idea, if national sentiments, national systems, and the number of audience groups are put aside, he would be happy to develop in the Cold Country.
The industry order there is far more formal than in the mainland.
First of all, in cold dramas, the screenwriter has the final say. In almost every project, the screenwriter is the boss, and he has the final say in selecting actors.
What is the most important thing about a good TV series?
Of course it's the storyline. If the story sucks, the acting
Even the best actors are useless.
Therefore, the screenwriters in cold dramas have great power, and there will never be a situation where the director has problems halfway through the filming, or the actors act like celebrities. Of course, sometimes this situation is inevitable.
But if this happens, the screenwriter can just replace him, and then the production company and the broadcast platform will unite to ban him.
There is nothing wrong with this kind of autocratic system. At least there will not be a situation where all the actors are domineering, or even if the actors are allowed to change the scripts and act randomly just because they are famous actors.
Furthermore, the fees for actors there will not be sky-high. The fees for actors in the Han Kingdom are basically equivalent to hundreds of thousands of Chinese dollars, except for superstars like Jun Ji-hyun whose talents exceed one million.
It is said that the salary of many top traffic stars who are idols does not exceed one million yuan.
Their actors' fees are very different from those in China, which can easily cost tens of millions. The effect of using the excess money on production fees must be much better than if the production fees are small.
Also, the entertainment industry there is very institutionalized, with strict regulations on actors, and no tampering is allowed.
Actors must wait on the set around the clock every day. Even big-name actors do not have to wait on the set around the clock and must be on call.
In this way, we can't do dramas at the same time, so we naturally have a lot of time to devote to one drama.
Unlike in Mainland China, isn't there a male idol who starred in five dramas at the same time? Can he remember which character he is playing?
Sometimes Liu Qingshan has nothing to do and looks at the shooting schedule of Hengdian. On the same day, an actor can appear on several crews. What role do you think they can devote themselves to? How can they film well if their identities keep changing?
In addition, he is also very interested in the method of filming while broadcasting, so that he can get closer to the audience and adjust the plot in time based on market feedback.
If the ratings are not good, the filming will be completed in advance and the broadcast time will be shortened. The plots that the audience does not like will be deleted directly later. Which actors have problems will be directly written out, which is highly flexible.
Not to mention that our domestic dramas are filmed while broadcasting, some of them are even filmed for two or three years before being aired. But how many people will take the initiative to think that when it is finally released, will it be completely out of touch with the times?
