Chapter 652: The highest record in the history of TV drama investment

As Monkey King went to sea to find longevity, the first episode of "Journey to the West" finally came to an end. The duration of this episode reached an astonishing one hour and 23 minutes, which is worth the weight of the two episodes of other TV series, so the next TV series will be daily The speed of one episode is broadcast.
With the end of the first episode.
The whole network finally broke out on the Westward Journey that swept the land of Qin Qi, Chuyan and Han five continents. Eight of the top ten searched directly related to the West Journey!
Among the many topics, the two most popular ones are the TV theme song "Yun Gong Xun Yin" and everyone's curiosity about the production cost of this TV series!
In the first topic.
Countless musicians have expressed their opinions in the tribe and have evaluated "Yun Gong Xun Yin" from different angles.
Among these musicians, there are even some long-established song fathers!
"Undoubtedly, "Yun Gong Xun Yin" created a precedent for combining electronic music with folk music and orchestras in TV dramas. Its music creation connotation is rich, the melody is beautiful, the plot and the music fit in place, in the past It’s almost unmatched in the music of the TV series."
Yin Dong
"I was probably one of the lucky ones who heard this song first. Zheng Jing was very shocked at the time, but today combined with the plot of the Westward Journey, it seems that shock should be used to describe it more appropriately."
Zheng Jing
"There should be some people who have not watched Journey to the West tonight. As a TV series lover, I think this is a TV feast that Blue Star audiences should not miss. As for the theme song "Yun Gong Xun Yin", I think this is probably a lot of people who are good at TV. Musicians should dissect and learn classic works well."
-Ye Qiu
Even Yang Zhongming expressed his opinion on the tribe:
"I'm not surprised that Xianyu can understand Dianyin so much. I'm surprised that Dianyin can be combined with the mythology of Journey to the West so perfectly. With such a fanciful thinking, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it."
Some people think that this is Yang Zhongming's humble language.
But so many song fathers are full of praise for "Yun Gong Xun Yin", and it really gives everyone a deeper understanding of the level of this song.
During this process, there were many musicians who analyzed various interpretations of "Yun Gong Xun Yin".
In the analysis of this group of people, every musical instrument in "Yun Gong Xun Yin" seems to have a unique emotional expression.
Those musical notes are actually artistic words depicting Journey to the West.
Compared to the first topic.
The scope of the second topic seems to be even wider!
Countless people are asking under the official WeChat account of Xingman:
What is the cost of the Journey to the West TV series!
Everyone praises that a TV series is well made, and often uses the description of "a movie-like texture."
But such a description seems not enough in "Journey to the West".
This TV series can be described as "beyond the texture of the movie"!
Even if compared with the movie, the first episode of "Journey to the West" will never pull your hips!
At this time.
Xingmang suddenly released an interview with the title:
#送888移动红包#Follow vx. public account [Book Friends Base Camp], watch popular works, draw 888 cash red envelopes!
[Interview with Zhou Ruiming, producer of Journey to the West TV series: The production cost of Journey to the West is the highest record of capital investment among all TV series currently by Bluestar! 】
Damn it!
Highest record!
Even if everyone has a foresight in their hearts, they are still shocked at this moment, and everyone will start the interview as soon as possible.
interviewing.
The host smiled and said:
"The first episode of "Journey to the West" was broadcast tonight, and its popularity reached a very terrifying peak. Perhaps this year's drama king has been born ahead of schedule. Here we invite the producer of Astral Journey to the West, Zhou Ruiming, to be interviewed. First of all, I One question that everyone is curious about is how high is the cost of this TV show?"
"The first season of Journey to the West, a total of ten episodes, with an investment of 700 million, the average cost per episode is 70 million."
Zhou Ruiming's solemn beginning.
The host took a breath: "This should be the highest record of Blue Star TV series production, right?"
Zhou Ruiming proudly said: "Yes, for example, the Monkey King who will be broadcast later makes a noise in the palace, even if it is shown in the cinema, it will be fine."
The host asked: "Asset has such a high investment, do you have confidence in recovering the cost?"
Old Zhou laughed loudly: "A TV show with an investment of 700 million yuan, would you tell me to recover the cost?"
host:"……"
Lao Zhou smiled and said, "This show will suffer, and it will suffer blood loss. If Xianyu's strong request were not made, we would estimate that the cost of filming would probably be set at 100 million."
The host had a weird expression: "No one stopped Teacher Xianyu?"
As if recalling something, Lao Zhou suddenly got excited and frothed and danced:
"Why didn't you stop it? I stopped it! For half a month, more than a dozen senior executives of Xing Mang took turns begging him not to play such a big game. Finally, the chairman of the company personally came forward and failed to convince Xian Yu. Instead, Xian Yu just added one. Billion investment."
The host is stupid.
This sentence is a bit informative.
Looking at Zhou Ruiming's expression, the host could almost imagine how desperate the senior executives of Xingman were at that time.
"Teacher Xianyu has a lot of power in Xingmang." The host tried to keep his voice calm.
Lao Zhou's tone was complicated: "He is the prince of the stars."
This is a bit dissatisfied with Xian Yu at first, but after careful tasting, the host can clearly hear how proud and proud?
This is the first time that the outside world has learned about Xianyu's position in the star.
"So, Xingmang knew that he couldn't recover the cost, but he still shot it like this? It's just because of Teacher Xianyu's insistence?"
"That's it, but it's not just that."
Lao Zhou said: "Because Xianyu said that the follow-up development of "Journey to the West" may not be limited to TV series. In the future, everyone should see the animation and even movies of Journey to the West. This is a grand layout. Maybe one day in the future, we can take it back. The cost of this TV series is explained by Xian Yu anyway-we dare not say, we dare not ask."
"Too much looking forward to it!"
The host was a little yearning, and then said: "What are the interesting feelings during the shooting?"
Lao Zhou's eyes were hollow: "I'm desperate. When I open my eyes every day, I can smell the burning of money."
host:"……"
The corner of Lao Zhou's mouth twitched: "Just kidding, although it is true, it's interesting feeling, does Xian Yu insist on choosing a newcomer to play Monkey King?"
The host nodded: "This decision is risky and crazy."
Lao Zhou felt the same way: "It's really crazy, so Xianyu chose a newcomer to act as the male lead of a TV series with an investment of 700 million yuan, which also attracted the company's opposition, but from today's effect, it seems that we are wrong, the charm of Monkey King. It does not depend on whether an actor is a star, because Monkey King can easily become a star."
"..."
The interview lasted for half an hour.
Lao Zhou said a lot of behind-the-scenes stories of "Journey to the West".
After the interview.
Crazy discussions on all continents!
"Uncle's, seven hundred million!"
"Is it okay to smell money burning as soon as I open my eyes every day?"
"On average 70 million per episode!"
"Dare to shoot TV dramas that are destined to lose money!"
"It's a jealous fish!"
"Evaluating the cost of an episode of 70 million, if it were the early days, 70 million would be enough to make several movies!"
"Xian Yu is Prince Starlight?"
"Fish daddy beef batch!"
"Hahahaha, this supervisor is so interesting, he is often tossed by the fish daddy at ordinary times."
"We don't dare to say, we don't dare to ask--please, you are a high-level star, why are you so humble in front of Daddy Fish?"
"What a high-level person, I'm not talking about it. The chairman of the board was polite to discuss investment matters with Xianyu. In the end, Xianyu was added 100 million yuan."
"Do you call this the prince?"
"This is clearly the Supreme Emperor of the Stars!"
"Daddy Fish is a group favorite in the company. This supervisor complains about Daddy Fish, but his little eyes are actually too tight!"
"You think he is spitting out Xianyu, but he is actually exaggerating in disguise, playing with language art."
"You can guess the attitude of the company by looking at how much Zheng Jing and Yang Zhongming admire the fish."
"..."
Netizens are frantically discussing.
When Honghuang’s creative team saw this interview, they almost didn’t get over it.
The total investment is 700 million?
A total of ten episodes, you burn 70 million per episode?
You are doing charity!
As for?
This is an act of breaking the rules of the industry!
Seriously broke the market atmosphere!
Hong Huang is about to be killed...
In fact, Honghuang's investment is not low, close to 200 million.
But Hong Huang shot a full fifty episodes!
There must be irrigation. TV drama irrigation is the norm in the industry, and the audience has long been used to it.
If you don’t have a Journey to the West, everyone will think it’s worth it.
but……
It was broadcast together with Westward Journey in the same period, and the comparison came out.
After watching Journey to the West, and then looking at Honghuang, I always feel that they have a sense of plastic, and the special effects of fifty cents are very cheap.
It just so happened that Hong Huang chose it himself!
If Honghuang avoids Journey to the West, and does not fight hard with Journey to the West, perhaps they will also have a good harvest.
In fact.
The shock brought by this interview is not only for the Honghuang team and netizens, but also for the entire film and television circle!
Seven billion investment in a TV series is really crazy!
Even movies don’t dare to play so big!
If it's on the earth.
The investment level of Westward Journey is slightly more than that of the later seasons of Game of Thrones.
In fact.
Lin Yuan filmed "Journey to the West" and went to that level of drama.
But will "Journey to the West" really lose?
Old Zhou is not stupid.
What he said is purely the favor of the audience~EbookFREE.me~ As long as the show is hot enough, it won’t lose money, because if the show stays hot, it will definitely generate a series of interest chains in the follow-up. .
Such as games, such as movies, such as animation, such as peripherals, such as...
At that time, the company was not happy to envy Yu playing so big, because it was simply not confident in the explosion of the show.
Attention, it is explosive!
If it hasn't reached the explosive fire level, it will definitely not work if it is just a normal fire.
The standard of explosion is the whole people chasing drama!
The "Game of Thrones" on the earth next door recovered its cost and made a lot of money because of the explosion.
It’s just that the money-making cycle of Journey to the West will stretch longer.
But at the same time, Journey to the West will make more money than the right to travel on earth.
In this regard, Lin Yuan is full of confidence!
