Chapter 77 "Shooting the Condors" Tests the Waters

Filming is like doing business.It is also a kind of commercial speculation.So some people lost, some people made money;As a TV station, it has always been to accompany less and earn more.

Every time TVB shoots a big drama, it will be very cautious. After all, a big investment needs a big return. If the return is not in place, then the new TV series will be cut midway.

Like this time shooting the tome "Shooting the Condors", the total plan is [-] episodes, and every [-] episodes are one unit, which are "Iron Heart", "Evil in the West" and "On the Sword in Huashan".It can be said that TVB filmed three movies in one go.

Now "Iron Heart" has basically finished filming, and now we have to see how the outside world will react when this unit is broadcast.

As the most famous TV station in Xiangjiang, it is definitely good at promoting and packaging new plays.

Wang Tianlin, as the producer of this film, is personally responsible for the editing of the promotional film.Then a group of wireless executives, including Uncle Shao Daheng, watched the test film in the conference room.

The projector rustled.After the screen flickers once, the screen appears.

What first appeared was the scene of a large number of soldiers lining up on the Mongolian grassland, then the scene of tens of thousands of horses galloping together, and then a loud and clear eagle call appeared in the air, and through its eyes saw the ancient Roman-like battlefield on the ground. Groups of cavalry ran around them and shot arrows.
Then there is the shooting in the studio, Guo Jing and Huang Rong looking at each other and Guo Jing and Yang Kang fighting. Then there is the classic scene of bending the bow and shooting the sculptures, with the setting sun as the background.
The whole prologue is over. The words of the first episode of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: Iron Blood and Loyal Heart" appear. Of course, the whole prologue of less than 2 minutes has that nice theme song. The subsequent plot is roughly the same, except that Qiu Chuji kills the corrupt officials. The scene in the film was more exciting and brilliant, and the editing was very tight and violent. It fits the rhythm of life of contemporary Xiangjiang people.

"How is it, everyone, what do you think?" Uncle Shao Daheng tapped the table lightly with his middle finger, his eyes shone shrewdly on his thin and hale face.

Said, for old courtiers like Wang Tianlin, he is at ease from the bottom of his heart, but the form still needs to be gone, lest people say that he is protecting his shortcomings.

"Producer Wang's filming standards have always been very high, which is obvious to all, but this time it seems that the money spent is a little bit more, almost half of the budget of 300 million has been spent, and I don't know how to shoot later?" The person in charge of finance spoke Fang Yihua, when it comes to money, she always pays close attention to every penny, not to mention the fact that sixth uncle likes to rely on these old courtiers, she always doesn't like it.

Definitely a question of money.
Wang Tianlin had already been thinking about it, and said with a smile: "Director Fang, in fact, I have already communicated with Sixth Uncle and his old man about the budget, and I have also reported to him in detail the funds spent in the early stage of the filming, so you don't have to I'm so worried."

Fang Yihua was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help looking at his sixth uncle Shao Daheng.

Shao Daheng, who had closed his eyes slightly just now, opened them now, nodded and said, "I will deal with this problem—————Does anyone have any other opinions?"

Fang Yihua might as well say that the sixth uncle would say so, so he refrained from opening his mouth.

Seeing that Fang Yihua had nothing to do with this drama, the others kept silent.

Uncle Liu signaled Wang Tianlin to continue.

Wang Tianlin nodded, "Next is what I want to talk about. Open the file in front of you. This is my deployment of the playback method of "Shooting the Condors". Let's see what you want to add."

"During this week, I just saw the trailer in the morning and evening prime time slots. The time is 2 minutes. A week later, the first and second episodes will be played at 10:10 p.m., as well as the preview of the next episode, which will whet the appetite of the audience. There will be news on the headlines of major media tomorrow, so that everyone in Xiangjiang will know that the broadcast will start. There will be a [-]-minute advertisement in each episode. How much is it? Finance department, you have to figure it out, that price can guarantee that we will not lose money."

Shao Daheng nodded straight when he heard it in the conference room. As a big crocodile in the film industry for many years, he can fully imagine the practical benefits that this film can bring. In addition to making a fortune in advertising fees, Shao Daheng's most important thing is to let the newly established ATV see what it means to be "rich and powerful".When the two armies confronted each other, they overwhelmed people with momentum, which is called "tyrant"!
That night, the first episode of "Legend of the Condor Heroes" was played on a trial basis. Due to the good publicity done before and the "shocking" clips edited, it aroused great attention from Hong Kong people. It can be said that everyone I have made countless speculations about this drama, and as for the result, everything will be revealed at [-]:[-] tonight.
In the evening, the number of people on the street began to decrease significantly. Where there was a TV, there were crowds of people. They were waiting. Some people can't help but wonder, if the show is not good and the audience is disappointed, will someone smash the wireless The door. Maybe it’s not pretty though?!

"Vaguely dreaming like I have seen it before, my heart is full of waves..." The theme song of "Shooting the Condors" resounded.

The "Shooting the Condors" that everyone has been waiting for is finally on the air!
Unsurprisingly, after the first episode of "Shooting the Condors" was broadcast, it caused a huge response. The ratings were as high as 30 points, while the ratings of the newly emerging ATV programs at the same time were only 22 points.It can be said that it was overwhelmed by wireless.

On the second day, the major media in Hong Kong announced the news, mainly paper media, especially Mr. Jin Yong’s Hong Kong "Ming Pao", which introduced the shooting process and behind-the-scenes footage in a large article, as well as his impressions of the first episode he watched .
"I watched the premiere of the new "Shooting the Condors" last night. I have seen many versions of my novel being adapted into a TV series, but this time the filming gave me great visual impact and shock. From the production level As far as the film is concerned, it is definitely excellent; the martial arts design is elegant but not too atmospheric, the fighting at the beginning is even more touching, and the handling of the character context and emotions is also very good."

"Let's talk about the theme song of this drama, for me, it is no less than the previous version of "Who Is the Great Hero". "But it is impassioned and mixed with indescribable love for children, which makes people feel intuitively chivalrous and lingering after listening to it; I heard that the theme song was written by Huang Zhan, and I have to say that his lyrics have a lofty and far-reaching artistic conception. Ni also sang the feelings of a man in the desert and the romantic poetry of Xiaojiabiyu in the south of the Yangtze River, and the lyrics and music are strong in martial arts style, which is a highlight of this film."

Because of Mr. Jin Yong's comments, countless people are full of curiosity about this drama. With the continuous broadcast of the series, this drama has become a topic of discussion in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang.

Two weeks later, the drama became more and more popular, and almost all the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang were full of discussions.The ratings have been rising all the way, making the newly established ATV unprepared.

And as the actor of "Ouyang Ke" in this play, Chen Xiaotang was looking forward to it. After more than ten days of hard work, he finally waited for his own role tonight.

When mother Li Shuzhen heard that her baby son was going to make an official appearance in "Shooting the Condors" tonight, she was so excited, as if she had successfully participated in Miss Xiangjiang's beauty pageant, and urged her father Chen Fugui to prepare a super loud Firecrackers, saying that there will be a big crowd at the entrance of the tea restaurant, so that the neighbors can come and watch TV dramas together.

Of course Chen Fugui didn't want to do this anymore, saying that his son was just showing his face in the play, and there was no need to make such a big fanfare.Li Shuzhen didn't want to, and asked if the son was born by you. Why don't you look like a father at all? The son finally appeared on TV. Parents should give him some face, right? !
Chen Fugui murmured: "It's not that you want to make your son look good, I think you want to put money on your own face -- you're going crazy if you want to be a star mother!"

"What are you mumbling about?" Li Shuzhen put her hands on her hips.

"It's nothing, I mean we need to hang a few more firecrackers to make it lively!" After saying this, Chen Fugui hurriedly scratched his crotch and slipped away.

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Shuzhen went from door to door carrying wedding cakes to say hello, saying: "Come to the tea restaurant to watch TV tonight, my family A Tang is going to appear in "Shooting the Condors"—tea and pastries are provided, all free!"

The neighbors in the neighborhood were all honest people. Seeing her enthusiasm, they all praised her for having such a good son, and said that Ah Tang was expected to be a star no matter what.And promise to be there on time at night.

Li Shuzhen was so happy that everyone praised her son so much, she was so happy that she put down two or three of the wedding cakes that were supposed to be served in one portion, without the slightest hint of distress.

When the neighbors saw how bold she was, they couldn't stop praising her.Everyone was happy for a while.

In the evening, the tea restaurant was full of people, and everyone gathered together, drinking Pu'er tea and eating desserts, as if they were holding a hometown meeting.

Chen Fugui and Li Shuzhen, an old couple, were very busy, pouring tea for one and water for the other. Fortunately, the tea restaurant was newly renovated and the place was much more spacious, so it didn't look crowded when everyone sat here.It's just that those children are running around, restless like monkey cubs.

At the beginning, Chen Fugui and Li Shuzhen kept persuading them not to run around, to be careful of being scalded by the tea, but they kept nagging them over and over again, but it had little effect. You are the Lord.There was no way, in order to calm down the group of monkey cubs, so as not to affect everyone's mood watching "Shooting the Condors", Li Shuzhen had no choice but to buy a lot of candies out of her pocket, sprinkle them on them, and let them go to other places to play.

The group of children tasted the sweetness, and after eating the candy, they came together again and made trouble with profit.Seeing that the candies were finished, these monkey cubs were still not satisfied. Li Shuzhen, who was originally full of spring, became angry, swung the broom at the door, put her hands on her hips and said fiercely: "I don't show my power, you bastards treat me like a sick cat, candy!" No, do you want a broom?!"

Seeing her being so fierce, the children laughed and scattered.

Those neighbors saw Li Shuzhen fighting against these ignorant kids, and they all laughed and said, "Sister-in-law Zhen, just take a rest, the TV series will start soon, and Atang, why hasn't he come back yet?"

"Yeah, Ah Tang hasn't come back yet, I really want to sign it..." said the respected fourth uncle.

Li Shuzhen's eyes lit up like light bulbs, "Ah, autograph?! ——Ah Tang, that brat, I told her to come back early... I guess she's still filming at the company right now, and she'll be back soon—" ——Uncle Si, don’t worry, I will ask him to sign for you when he comes back..." Li Shuzhen laughed.

"I, I don't want his autograph, I just want him to give me A Weng's autograph..."

"Huh? You are so old, you still like Weng Meiling?"

"Why not? Seeing her so young and beautiful, I also feel full of energy---" Sibo tried his best to make a gesture of bowing and shooting arrows.

"Be careful, fourth uncle, don't flinch!"

"It's too late, ouch, it's already flashing!" The fourth uncle bared his teeth, "Youth is gone forever!"
