After saving the big star, she actually wanted to make a promise

Chapter 351 New Cooperation
Fang Lintao, as the person in charge of Penguin Films and Television's Legend of Sword and Fairy, should have been very happy that the Legend of Sword and Fairy series could break the hit rate of online TV dramas, but Fang Lintao looks a little sad now.

It is true that the Legend of Sword and Fairy series has indeed achieved great success. In fact, this can be seen when the second part of Chinese Paladin was broadcast. The data of this premiere is rushing to break the historical record.

So Fang Lintao has been looking for Yu Qiuqin, the head of the film and television department of the Chinese website, not long after the second part of Xianjian started, hoping to have a further cooperation. After all, the Xianjian series is so successful, Fang Lintao naturally wants more.

Chinese.com currently holds the copyrights of several popular novels by Li Changle, and whether it is the Shooting Condor Trilogy or Tianlong Babu, the storytelling seems to be better than that of the Immortal Sword series.

Fang Lintao believes that if these martial arts novels are to be adapted into film and television, the ratings will definitely not be worse than those of the Immortal Sword series, and even worse.

It's a pity that every time Fang Lintao went to look for Yu Qiuqin, this woman always looked left and right, but she didn't have a credible letter, and she played Tai Chi very smoothly. .

The last time Penguin Films invested in the TV series due to its own platform and was not able to be released as scheduled due to special reasons, so after comprehensive consideration, Penguin Films decided to release the sequel of Legend of Sword and Fairy ahead of schedule.

This eccentric approach should have made the Chinese website dissatisfied. Fang Lintao secretly speculated in his heart. If the sequel of Legend of Sword and Fairy was not because of Li Changle and Guo Zongming's desperate overtime, there is a high probability that there would be no way to present it so perfectly.

That is to say, Li Changle's suggestion saved the production team a lot of detours in post-production and production, and reduced a lot of trial and error costs. Otherwise, the final film could be released in time, but the effect would definitely be much worse.

Although Penguin Films proposed to the Chinese website at that time that the second part of The Legend of Sword and Fairy would be replaced with certain resources, but this approach obviously made the Chinese website a little unhappy, and Li Changle and Guo Zongming were even more upset. After all, they are the ones who are tired of this wave of operations.

In fact, when Fang Lintao heard the high-level executives of Penguin Films and Television proposed a shift period between the two TV series, Fang Lintao disagreed in his heart. With a confrontational attitude, the second part is bound to go for various records.

The broadcast time of TV dramas is closely related to the ratings. To give a simple example, the prime time is usually from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening. At this time, the audience is most free, so the ratings are particularly high during this time.

All David TVs will choose to show the hottest and best-quality film and television dramas or variety shows at the time of eight o'clock, and the ratings can easily break 4%.

And at one or two o'clock in the middle of the night, if you show a TV series at this time, no matter how high-quality your TV series is, the ratings cannot exceed 2%.

For the same reason, winter and summer vacations are often the two time points with the highest ratings in a year, because the main group watching TV dramas are young people, and the student party accounts for a large proportion of young people, so during the winter and summer vacations, Television ratings are often much higher than usual.

Fang Lintao knows this truth, and the senior executives of Penguin Film and Television must also know it. Even Fang Lintao guesses that the quality of the TV series of the Xianjian series is high.

However, the TV series in the Legend of Sword and Fairy series is not completely self-made by Penguin Films and Television after all, but the TV series in the shift period is, and it is even wholly invested by Penguin.

The relationship between these two TV series is like Immortal Sword is the adopted son picked up, and the TV series made by the film and television is the son who can’t be kissed anymore. The appearance of picking up, no matter how good it is, the parents will most likely not let it look like this Those who inherit the family business, they will only choose their own son, even if this biological son may not be as good as the adopted son.

The sequel of Legend of Sword and Fairy is scheduled for the Spring Festival, and the ratings and click-through rate will definitely be better. Although the current data is also very explosive, it is a pity for Fang Lintao. The drama of Sword and Fairy deserves better. higher grades.

But it is true that because of the selfishness of the executives of Penguin Films and Television, there came a wave of coquettish operations to directly change the schedule of the two TV series. Let alone Guo Zongming did not expect it at the beginning, even Fang Lintao was in a daze.

But after all, he is only the person in charge of the project team of Penguin Films and Television, not the person in charge of Penguin Films and Television, so his opinion is not very important.

Everyone knows that the early release of TV series will definitely bring a lot of difficulties to the post-production of the TV series. If the effect is not good, it is not impossible for the second part of Xianjian to collapse directly.

I don't know if the executives of Penguin Films and Television have any regrets about doing this thing. Presumably they will not regret it. They are also very happy that Legend of Sword and Fairy did not collapse, and they are even happier to break the record.

But that's all. The TV series of the Immortal Sword series are not self-produced by Penguin Films and Television. In their view, it is impossible to prioritize them over self-produced dramas, even if the quality of the self-produced dramas is worse than that of Immortal Sword.

That is to say, Fang Lintao felt that he was kneeling to make money, otherwise he would definitely point at the leader's nose and scold his mother, but if he really wanted to do this, he would stand up, and he would not be able to make money if he stood up. Fang Lintao knew this very well.

Therefore, earning money is not shabby.

Fang Lintao saw very clearly that if the copyrights of the martial arts novels in the Chinese website could be shot according to the standards of the Xianjian series, Fang Lintao believed that the sensation caused by the shooting would not be worse than that of Xianjian.
So Fang Lintao has been looking for people from the Chinese website to communicate and negotiate, hoping that the Chinese website can consider the intention of the next TV drama cooperation.

But the Chinese website just refused to respond, and Fang Lintao was very anxious for a while. According to the normal process, they can consider collaborating again without waiting for the finale of the fairy sword series.

But now the Chinese website obviously didn’t give a clear response. It’s not that Fang Lintao didn’t think about bypassing the Chinese website to go directly to Li Changle. After all, these novels were written by Li Changle, but it’s okay if Li Changle agreed to do so. , If you don't agree, you may even go directly to the Chinese website to talk about it.

If you really want to do this, Penguin Film and Television will bear the risk of breaching the contract here. Obviously, this is not a consequence that Fang Lintao can bear, and Fang Lintao privately thinks that if he really goes to find Li Changle , then the result with a high probability will be my second guess just now.

Li Changle didn't like to see Penguin Films very much, Fang Lintao could clearly feel it.

That is to say, Li Changle thought that since he took out the IP of Xianjian, he would not allow his childhood classic IP to rot in this world.

Otherwise, how could Li Changle, with a Buddhist personality like this, work overtime every day in the 007 work system to assist in the post-production and editing of the sequel of Xianjian.

Fang Lintao didn't dare to come to the door, but someone came to the door quite confidently.

Ji Zizhang is very proud of himself now. The first episode of the variety show he led has just ended, and the news of the establishment of the film and television department of Mango TV came. Ji Zizhang is not a quiet master, and he immediately went to participate in the competition for the film and television department Director of this position.

Who would wish to be a director for the rest of their life? Director of the film and television department, this position has ranks and can be promoted. When a director of a variety show is still a director in the end, Ji Zizhang knows what he wants in his heart .

So he gave the TV station's leader a guarantee that if he took this position, then he would be able to produce a phenomenal and popular film and television drama for the film and television department.

Ji Zizhang was very confident when he made the promise to the leader, because he had inquired about the news beforehand. Penguin Films and Chinese Network had no intention of connecting new projects after the end of the second part of the Fairy Sword series. I quickly discovered the tricks inside.

By following the vine, I learned that the sequel of the fairy sword was previously shifted by Penguin Film and Television. After figuring out the cause and effect of the incident, I didn't hesitate at all.

The reason why Ji Zizhang is so confident is because of the great success of the Immortal Sword series. If the Immortal Sword is still like this, then what do the Wang Zha behind him say.

In Ji Zizhang's inner thoughts, Li Changle's novels have all been read. No matter in terms of story structure or literary quality, those few martial arts novels that have not been adapted and remade are definitely better than Xianjian. This film and television The value of the adaptation is definitely higher than the series of Legend of Sword and Fairy.

Besides, there is a problem with the Chinese website and Penguin Film and Television. If I don't take advantage of it at this time, when will I wait.

Just as Ji Zizhang and Fang Lintao guessed, Chinese.com did have a lot of dissatisfaction with what Penguin Movie did last time, which was quite dishonest.

For giants in the industry like Penguin Films and Chinese.com, integrity and credibility are very important things.

Because of their selfishness, Penguin Movies and TV moved forward the sequel of Legend of Sword and Fairy, which could have had better results, by two months, and then postponed its self-made TV series by two months. It is obvious that the Chinese website is also very dissatisfied with this behavior. of.

That is to say, in the end, the sequel of Legend of Sword and Fairy has achieved good results. Otherwise, the Chinese website will definitely not be like it is now, and is still evaluating whether it is necessary to continue to choose to cooperate with Penguin Film and Television.

Then Ji Zizhang came to the door. Ji Zizhang said frankly that he came to seek cooperation, and hoped to cooperate with Chinese.com in the film and television adaptation of Li Changle's remaining martial arts works.

Ji Zizhang is very clear in his heart that even Mango TV is not very good for Penguin TV. In terms of the number of users and influence, Penguin TV is definitely able to hang up Mango TV.

But Ji Zizhang thinks he is very sincere, at least he will not change the schedule of TV series like Penguin Films and Television. Ji Zizhang said so, and he intends to do so, and he is very sincere. Offer to make a concession.

For Ji Zizhang, Mango TV is not short of money, but users and influence, so they need word of mouth and the market. Before they achieve this goal, they can earn a little less, even if they don’t make any money, it is acceptable.

Yu Qiuqin talked with Ji Zizhang for several days, because of the experience of Penguin Films and Television, the Chinese website and even the finer details, Ji Zizhang agreed to everything, and it seemed that Penguin Films and Television was more stupid and richer.

No matter how you look at it, the Chinese website is more advantageous, that is, Mango Satellite TV may be inferior to Penguin Film and Television in terms of user volume, but both Yu Qiuqin and Ji Zizhang believe that these martial arts works of Li Changle have their own traffic, so It can completely make up for this problem.

Now that the matter has come to this point, the Chinese website has nothing to hesitate. Compared with Penguin Films and Television Chinese website, the top management all agree that Mango Satellite TV is a better partner.

Although we have negotiated a cooperation with the Chinese website, but because the Chinese website promised Li Changle at the beginning, if the works under his name are adapted, we need to ask for Li Changle's opinion.

Originally, Yu Qiuqin thought that asking for opinions over the phone would be enough, but Ji Zizhang refused and insisted on visiting Li Changle at home.

Ji Zizhang had been to Li Changle and Wang Siyi's home in Shanghai once, so he was familiar with walking. Although a few pieces of hair fell out badly, the Mediterranean Sea on his head seemed to be expanding into the Pacific Ocean.

People with thinning hair tend to have a sense of inferiority complex, but Ji Zizhang walks with his head held high, and the confidence on his face remains undiminished.

"Meet you again, Changle." After Ji Zizhang met Li Changle, he waved from afar, and after the meeting, he was even more enthusiastic.

Li Changle is used to Ji Zizhang's character, and Ji Zizhang is also a wonderful person. He can change his identity from a director to the director of Mango TV's film and television department. This change of identity is more than 180°.

"Congratulations Director Ji, you've been promoted." Li Changle also greeted with a smile, and even changed his name to Director Ji.

Ji Zizhang quickly waved his hand, "Hey, don't worry, I haven't written anything about the horoscope. I can only listen to Director Ji with peace of mind when it is confirmed on your side."

"Meet you again, Mr. Li." Yu Qiuqin also took advantage of this meeting to say hello to Li Changle, although they were not familiar with each other, Li Changle replied politely.

Looking at the posture of these two people, Li Changle could clearly feel that Ji Zizhang was the leader of these two people's visit today. When he heard that the Chinese website planned to cooperate with Mango Satellite TV, Li Changle was a little surprised, but then thought of the previous Penguin Films and Television's approach seems to be reasonable.

Li Changle doesn't care much about who will adapt these classic martial arts works, he only cares about whether the other party is sincerely willing to adapt and remake.

But when Ji Zizhang pointed out that the mode of their cooperation is still the same as the previous mode of Penguin Film and Television, Li Changle felt relieved.

Ji Zizhang is also an acquaintance to Li Changle. When he was on Mango TV's love variety show, Li Changle had a good sense of Ji Zizhang. After comprehensive consideration, he finally agreed with the Chinese website.

Li Changle will basically not refuse as long as he is serious about the classic works he reposted. Mango TV has great sincerity, and Li Changle is willing to trust Ji Zizhang once.
