56. TV drama trade fair (1)
(I don’t know if this chapter can be successful, but I hope it can be passed. In addition, I have to thank Zi Ruyu for drinking water and the 588 reward with the great black magic master. The great tutor also became the second apprentice in this book. Finally, I have to commemorate the upload of this book for one month. If I can pass this chapter, I must also thank Jian Qinxin for his guidance!)
On March 12th, [Legend of Sword and Fairy] was finally completed.
The TV series was filmed for six months, and after three seasons, the country moved to more than ten locations to explore the scenes, including staff and temporary actors, with a total of more than 300 crew members...
Each of these numbers is a milestone for Ye Sumang on his directorial journey.
Commanding such a large crew also gave Ye Sumang a profound exercise. From the beginning, he was a little busy, regardless of the end, and in the middle and late stages, he was as calm as an arm.
Under Ye Sumang's dispatch, the entire crew finally successfully completed the shooting of the entire TV series.
The crew's final banquet was not very luxurious. Considering that most of the staff stayed in the crew now were staff, Cai Yinon directly booked a medium-sized independent barbecue restaurant in Zhoushan City, so that everyone could eat affordable and relax.
After the end of this film festival, most of the crew members could easily have a long holiday, but some people still had to continue to be busy, including Ye Sumang, Ning Hao, Cai Yinon and others.
As a director, Ye Sumang must also participate in the subsequent editing work. Ning Hao, as his gold medal camera, will naturally follow Ye Sumang.
In addition, he was not very relieved about the soundtrack, so he still had to supervise the production side. Cai Yinong wanted to do work for the final promotion of the TV series, and was also preparing to submit the TV series for review so that he could catch up with the TV series trading conference in June, hoping to find a good seller and catch up with the exhaust of the TV series' golden summer vacation.
In this busy state, Ye Sumang did not even rush back to Kyoto, but directly stationed at the headquarters of Tangren Film and Television Mingzhu City, living a daily life in a small black room.
In early April, the final editing version of the TV series was finally completed, with a total of 42 episodes, which can be regarded as a long TV series in costume dramas. However, things are far from over. Next, the special effects company needs to add the already produced special effects to the entire TV series, as well as the soundtrack of the TV series, etc., which are expected to end from the end of April to the beginning of May.
Therefore, there is not much time left for Ye Sumang and others, and several of them work overtime, in order to complete it as soon as possible.
In the work of the soundtrack, Cai Yinon also invited Mr. Mai Zhenhong, a famous film music master in Hongkou, with his own connections.
His arrival has added a great help to the music work. Under his guidance, Ye Sumang not only mastered more types of musical instruments and broadened his horizons, but also burst into inspiration, and successively created three classic soundtracks, namely [Immortal Sword Asking for Love], [Swordsmanship and the Swordsmanship] and [Reincarnation and Destiny].
It happened that day that Yao Zhuangxian came to visit the set. When he heard the three songs played by Ye Sumang, he immediately decided to use them as the soundtrack of the upcoming [Legend of Sword and Fairy II] game.
After two months of struggle, the TV series [Legend of Sword and Fairy] was finally completed on May 10th.
On the day the TV series was produced, Cai Yinon immediately sent the TV series to the China Radio, Film and Television Bureau for review.
The entire TV series was filmed by Ye Sumang to be pure, beautiful and sunny.
There are no violent scenes in the plot of the forty-two episodes, nor are they full of pornography, and there is not even a real kissing scene. Apart from some small controversy on the subject matter, the TV series is very pure overall, so it quickly passed the review.
During this period, Ye Sumang spent another two days editing a three-minute trailer, which fully demonstrated the tenderness and chivalrousness that the Legend of Sword and Fairy was to express.
Tangren Film and Television and Daewoo Group also posted the trailer video on the homepage of their company's website as soon as possible, and also released a lot of behind-the-scenes and stills taken on the shooting site, and began to prepare to gain impression points for the next TV series trading conference.
On June 2, just after Children's Day, the TV series trading conference began.
The TV series trade fair is twice a year, and it can be said to be the largest event in the TV industry. Here, hundreds of TV series are sold every year as playback resources for various provincial and local stations.
This is also a blessed place for many directors and screenwriters who are not well-received. Perhaps a TV station's mentor discovered their advantages and bought out their works.
[Legend of Sword and Fairy] can be said to be popular before it is broadcast, and the topic has been constantly discussed during the filming process. Therefore, it has also become one of the star works of this TV series fair. Even the promotional video of the opening of the conference has intercepted the exciting clips of the Sword and Fairy in fifteen seconds.
The conference adopts the ‘business room’ transaction model. The producer of the TV series only needs to wait in the hotel room. If there is a TV station that enjoys the video, he will send someone to the producer’s room to discuss.
"Sister Cai, don't walk around, what should come will come eventually." Ye Sumang, who participated in the TV series fair for the first time, was lying on the sofa in the living room, with a lazy smile on the corner of his mouth and a calm look on his eyes.
On the contrary, Cai Yinon, who had attended many such conferences, walked around anxiously and seemed very impatient.
"Can't you be in a hurry? It's been an hour now, why haven't a representative come here yet? It's not supposed to be. Our TV series have been on promotional videos."
"After all, it's a brand new subject. I guess those TV stations are waiting and watching..." Ye Sumang thought for a moment and expressed his opinion.
Ye Sumang's words hit the nail on the head.
At this time, many TV station representatives have actually watched the TV series [Legend of Sword and Fairy], and most people are very interested in it, but due to its high price and brand new themes, all TV station representatives are hesitant.
After all, if the TV series I bought for a lot of money cannot be released, wouldn’t it be a big loss?
Although the TV station is state-owned, its annual income will be considered nationwide. This is not only the political achievement of the Taiwan leaders, but also the face issue between dozens of provinces.
Therefore, the representatives of these TV stations who come to buy works are also very cautious, not seeking merit, but seeking no mistakes.
In a corner of the trade fair, a middle-aged man with a majestic face was constantly watching works. A woman who was not very outstanding in appearance but had very good temperament. Looking at the intimate attitude of the two, it was obviously a couple.
"Changqing, how about it? Have you found a satisfactory work?" The woman didn't understand these TV series very well, but she was very curious, so she kept asking her husband beside her.
"Um..." After pondering, the man named Changqing said: "There are two alternatives. One of them looks very exciting, but it is a type that has never appeared in the TV circle. The other is the most popular type at present and the filming is pretty good. These two dramas make me hesitate now. What do you think?"
"Ask me? I don't understand TV series..." The woman smiled softly and said embarrassedly.
"If you don't understand, you can give your opinions. Which one do you think is better?"
"Well..." the woman thought for a while before saying, "I don't understand TV series very much. You also know that I am a finance person. But in the stock market, only by holding a gambling mentality, believing in your own eyes, and focusing on potential stocks that others have never discovered can you make a lot of money. To seek stability can only develop peacefully, and there is no big breakthrough. It is said that 'The horse is not fat without night grass, and the person is not rich without windfall'. All this depends on your courage and knowledge."
The woman's words made Changqing ponder.
