After the Mid-Autumn Festival, he rushed out.
In this matter, my dad is a complete response bug. Whatever my mom said, he said "yes"!
"Legend of the Sword and Fairy" is a TV series, making TV series, for Xu Cang, is much simpler than the movie.
Although there are actually more people in the crew, after all, Xu Cang has been in the TV drama circle for so many years, but this aspect is handy.
The shooting speed is much faster than filming.
As for the leading role, Li Junsheng needless to say, Shuangliao Shidi, starred in two movies of Wang Yifan, it can be said that there is no problem with acting skills.
The TV series itself can be said to be Li Junsheng’s home theater, especially for Li Junsheng who made a movie, acting in a TV series is really like playing.
The role of Zhao Ling'er played by Yan Lingxuan can be said to be played in real terms. Her own appearance and temperament are very suitable for this role.
Chen Xuebing doesn't need to worry about the same. The three leading actors have no problems. The other actors are mostly established stars. Although they may not be as good as Li Junsheng, their acting skills are not necessarily worse.
Therefore, Xu Cang had only four months to complete the shooting of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
"Legend of the Sword and Fairy" is a TV series, so the special effects are naturally different from the movie. Relatively speaking, it is simpler.
Therefore, the whole drama, after more than half a year of shooting and post-production, was basically completed in November.
Wang Yifan has seen the finished product. Although the actors and the pictures are not the same as the ones in the impression, in fact, because of the times, the pictures are more refined and the special effects are better than the previous life.
To some extent, Xu Cang's version of "The Legend of the Sword and Fairy" of this world surpasses the previous version in terms of image quality and special effects, even in terms of actors.
On the whole, it captures the feeling Wang Yifan wants.
Of course, Xu Cang shot this movie, so in many cases, Wang Yifan just made suggestions and didn't interfere.
The lineup of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be regarded as luxurious among many fairy tales. Of course, the cost is high enough. The cost of 150 million is enough to make a big movie.
In fact, the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has received countless attentions since the announcement of the list of actors, not only the public attention, but also the major TV stations have been paying attention to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
After all, Li Junsheng, the king of TV ratings, has returned to the television circle after many years, and if there is no accident, this may even be Li Junsheng's last TV series.
Therefore, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" can be said that the starting point is quite high.
Although Wang Yifan didn't pay a penny, he accounted for half of the share, but Yi Xiaochuan was very thankful for his choice.
How could it be possible to invite Li Junsheng to star in this drama because of other people?
And the script is also on the one hand, and Yi Xiaochuan, an investor, naturally had a sneak peek. After reading it, he became more and more excited.
Because this is definitely a good drama, and there are Li Junsheng, Yan Lingxuan, and Chen Xuebing starring, there is no need to worry about the ratings at all. It is only the question that they need to consider.
This version of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has a total of 40 episodes.
This episode is no more, no less.
Many companies invest in a drama. After the completion of the work, they still have to look at it and go to major TV stations to try it out. However, although "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has a trial session, it is only the first few episodes.
However, almost all the first-line TV stations in the country have come, and the lowest is a film purchase director. Even Tomato TV, Mango and other TV stations directly came to the deputy director to sit in person.
Everyone knows that this must be an annual drama, and even a strong contender for the annual ratings championship.
Therefore, everyone is determined to win.
Not only major TV stations, but also several major domestic video websites including ECCOM Video and Digital Video have been paying attention to this film early in the morning.
No way, too popular.
In the end, the first round of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was sold at a sky-high price!
In the beginning, both Tomato and Mango wanted to be exclusive, but obviously, whether Wang Yifan or Yi Xiaochuan did not want to sell exclusives, they considered how to expand the scope of the TV series.
Of course, it is impossible to really play N stars. In Wang Yifan and Yi Xiaochuan's opinion, it is best to choose 2 to 3 first-line satellite TVs.
As for online copyright, it doesn't matter. After all, it is a one-off sale, so exclusive is impossible. In the end, the first deal is the online copyright.
In terms of online copyrights, a single episode of 2 million is worth 80 million for one episode. Three of them were sold for a total of 240 million, which was a direct profit.
Of course, online video sites need to be able to launch episodes 24 hours after the TV station broadcasts.
In the end, Tomato and Mango worked together for 6 million episodes, that is, the two shared three million each, and won the first round of broadcasting rights.
This is another 240 million in revenue. There will be a second round, the third round and other broadcast rights. Although it can't sell such a high price, but as long as the ratings are strong enough, the second and third rounds can also sell at a good price.
It can be said that TV shows are sometimes more profitable than movies!
Of course, it depends on the final ratings!
However, this is what everyone is least worried about. In fact, it is normal. Director, Xu Cang, reliable! A veteran director.
Starring, Shuangshishidi does not say, it is a guarantee of ratings, Chen Xuebing and Yan Lingxuan's acting popularity is also leveraged.
The script, written by Wang Yifan, is equally reliable.
Then comes the subject matter. Xianxia is not an unpopular subject matter, and it is equally reliable.
This lineup, coupled with the broadcast platform is also the domestic first-line satellite TV, and online video website giants.
Therefore, making a TV series is really much lower risk than a movie.
For the film, the lineup of "Kung Fu Romance" is extremely high. The director, Ma Qingshan, a state-of-the-art director, and the screenwriter is also a well-known screenwriter, and there is more than one.
Don’t look at the current domestic movie market that seems to be quite hot, but in fact, the main profit depends on the box office.
As for TV series, if you can save reliable rounds, the pressure to pay back is not so great.
However, it is not always a good thing. On the "Legend of Sword and Fairy", the video website of Times Light and Shadow originally wanted to buy it, but the Times Video Network under Times Light and Shadow has no advantage compared with the three major video websites. .
Times Video is just an inconspicuous website under the banner of Times Light and the content of the website is not even a second-line among domestic video websites.
Therefore, even if the opponent finds Wang Yifan through Dai Xinyue, it is useless.
Originally, Wang Yifan didn't mind playing "The Legend of the Sword and Fairy" on another video site, as long as the price was about the same.
However, people on Times Light and Shadow think that since Wang Yifan is a shareholder of Times Light and Shadow, he should also give his own video website a little tilt.
In this regard, Wang Yifan did not refuse, but revealed to the three major video sites that Times Video also intends to buy together, and then the three major video sites directly objected.
But the rift between Wang Yifan and the light and shadow of the times became more and more obvious.
In fact, in the original era, Guangying was dissatisfied with Wang Yifan's cooperation with Yi Xing on "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". Now "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has sold 480 million yuan in copyright fees in the first round, directly making more than 200% profit. , How can they not jealous? And this is only the first round of screenings.
However, the conditions given by Yi Xing were unwilling to give to the times, so there was no cooperation at that time.
