The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 216 The Big Boss of Feitian Award
The years are like smoke, and they pass by in the blink of an eye.

Accidentally, the time came to mid-November [-].

On this night, CCTV No. [-] broadcasting hall was full of stars, famous TV drama directors, actors, and some singers and entertainers came over.

Tonight is an important day. The Feitian Awards Gala will be held here, and the outstanding TV dramas, actors, directors, and screenwriters in the mainland market last year will be commended in this hall...

In the first row of the auditorium, sat a group of bigwigs, Zhang Guoli, Tang Guoqiang, Wang Gang, Yang Yazhou, Li Shengyao, and Chen Shengli.

From time to time, the camera showed close-ups of the big bosses in the first row. Among this group of people, Li Shengyao undoubtedly looked extraordinarily young.

He was wearing a black suit and black leather shoes today, and he looked tall and straight.

When he walked the red carpet, he brought the crew of "Da Shang Palace", not only Hao Lei, Zu Feng, but also the two little girls Tan Songhong and Jin Chen.

But later everyone sat separately. He came to the first row, and Zu Feng Hao Lei sat in the third row. As for Tan Songhong and Jin Chen, Li Shengyao didn't see them, so they should have gone to the auditorium behind.

Last year, he sat in the third row, but this year he was in the first row, which greatly improved his status.

Moreover, on Li Shengyao's left are Yang Yazhou and Chen Shengli, and on the right is Tang Guoqiang.

Although the ratings of Yang Yazhou's "Empty Mirror" last year were average, the reputation of this drama is very good. Many people think that Yang Yazhou will win an award this year.

Chen Shengli's "Women's Special Police Team" last year was also very outstanding and was favored by many people.

As for Tang Guoqiang, this year's major awards are even more popular. In the drama "Long March", he is the leading actor.

Li Shengyao sat with these popular people, and not only the live broadcast footage brought him from time to time.

Many actors and entertainers who entered the venue can see it.

There are surprises in many people's eyes.

This is the Fei Tian Award Ceremony, and the seats are not arranged randomly, there are usually some tricks.

Li Shengyao's status is naturally high now, and his reputation is also good.

But as far as last year is concerned, although "Winter Sonata" has good domestic ratings and is even more popular abroad, this romantic drama is obviously not good enough to win awards.

Li Shengyao was sitting in that position, surrounded by hot spots. Could it be that the Feitian Awards were to succumb to business, or was it a special recognition for Li Shengyao's promotion of Chinese culture.

Li Shengyao naturally noticed it. In fact, when he just sat down, he even saw the surprised look in Tang Guoqiang's eyes.

But now that he's here, he won't be afraid.

It's not that he was asked to win the best director, or the best work, but just sitting among this group of people, afraid of a hammer.

He sat down naturally, and faced the surprised eyes of others, he faced them calmly.

In the eyes of others, Li Shengyao looked confident and calm at this time, and everyone speculated whether Li Shengyao had any connections, so he could be sure that he could win the award.

Yang Yazhou is the husband of Sister Ni Ping. He is tall, with a Chinese character face and a lot of hair. He is in his forties and looks very energetic.

He and Li Shengyao met on the day of the TV drama directors' party in Shanghai. The two were acquaintances, and they chatted in a low voice after sitting down.

"Director Li, is there any drama in Fenghua in November?"

From the beginning of the year to the present, Fenghua Film and Television Company has released seven dramas, and it can be said that all of them are very popular.

Now many companies are avoiding Fenghua drama.

Yang Yazhou has no upcoming dramas, he was just joking.

Li Shengyao smiled, "Not yet, it should wait until next year."

As for co-produced dramas, Shonan Satellite TV's "The No. [-] Shop of Coffee Prince" was the first to be filmed. They have already finished filming and are waiting to launch the next co-produced drama.

The following "Brilliant Legacy" and "It Turned Out to be a Beautiful Boy" should be finished soon.

And Li Shengyao's "Da Shang Gong" will be completed in a few days, but this drama has a total of [-] episodes, and the later period will be very long.

Yang Yazhou nodded, "It took you a long time to direct this drama yourself, and Director Li values ​​it very much."

"Da Shang Palace" took a total of about seven months from start to finish, which is indeed a long shooting time.

Li Shengyao naturally attaches great importance to it. This is his work for winning prizes and earning foreign exchange.

Fortunately, so far, the shooting effect is good, and he is very satisfied with it personally.

"It is indeed more important, and I hope to be liked by the audience."

His biggest worry about "Da Shang Gong" now is whether it can be sold at a high price in China, after all, the production cost is so high.

The price of a single episode of domestic TV series has increased slightly, but even if it is a big costume drama, it is only about 13 per episode.

But if Li Shengyao's "Da Shang Gong" sells for 13 or 15, he will not make any money at all.

He was a little unwilling.

In his previous life, Shonan Satellite TV, who was taken for a ride, spent 500 million yuan to buy it from the former Peninsula in [-].But now, he can complete the post-production in about January [-], which is two years earlier than when Shonan Satellite TV purchased it.

The price will naturally be different in two years, but it is not necessary to sell it for 1000 million, and it will be 500 million less.

Shonan Satellite TV is generous to the people of the peninsula, and has no reason to be stingy to its own people.

Li Shengyao estimated in his mind that the price of the first round of broadcasting rights was 500 million. If the price was lower than this price, he would not sell domestic TV stations.

At this moment, the host came to the stage, and the awards ceremony officially began.

There were actually quite a lot of good dramas last year, but most of them were well received or not.

The ratings are still somewhat lacking, which shows that there is a slight gap between the aesthetics of the common people and the producers.

However, the really well-received and well-received dramas, such as "The Mansion Gate", did not participate in the major award ceremonies in 02 due to some unexplainable reasons, and they did not even enter the preliminary review.

Whether it is the Feitian Award or the Golden Eagle Award, there is no shadow of "The Mansion Gate".

Chen Baoguo was very angry at one time, but as an actor, being angry is useless, and he still has to live an honest life.

Lee Sing Yew knew very well that with the quality of "Winter Sonata", he might be able to win many awards in the peninsula, but it is impossible in the mainland.

Pay attention to the difference, here will not give a high honor to a romantic drama.

With this kind of cognition, he has a good mentality. If he can win a prize, he will take it. If he can't win a general, it's a holiday.

Not long after, the host Zhou Tao read the third prize list of the annual long-form TV series.

"'Hai Rui', 'Sister-in-law', 'Days of Love', 'Winter Sonata'..."

Last year's "Love Hotel" was the second prize, and this year it was the third prize. It seems that it is not as good as last year. Many people looked at Li Shengyao with a lot of fun.

Li Shengyao looked calm, straightened his suit, and then strode forward, accepting the third prize together with other directors and producers.

When Li Shengyao returned to his seat, Yang Yazhou blinked at Li Shengyao, "The award ceremony is not over yet, maybe there will be a grand prize later."
