Chapter 54 "Wulin Gaiden" Pilot

"Zhonghua, I won't hide it from you, I don't understand."

"Why do I feel like it's all a farce?"

In the Program Broadcasting Center of Jin Provincial Television Station, the leaders of Jin Provincial Satellite TV and the deputy director of Taiyuan Station looked directly at Jiang Liu and Director Yao.

At the beginning of the year, at a meeting on "How to Promote the Rapid Development of Shanxi TV Stations and Lead the Nationwide", Yao Zhonghua put forward the suggestion of following the example of Mango TV in program reform, which was supported by a majority of votes.

As a result, Jin Provincial Satellite TV, Taiyuan TV, and Jin Provincial TV Drama Production Center invested nearly 200 million, and Yao Zhonghua teamed up with Capital Yixin Film and Television Production Company to prepare "Wulin Gaiden."

Nearly half a year has passed, New Year's Day is about to come, and 2001 is about to arrive. In the end, the "Wulin Gaiden" produced by Yixin Film and Television is just such a thing?

It's said to be a martial arts drama, and I'm always talking about it.

"Sunflower acupuncture point hand" and "overwhelming mountains" are used to scare people, but they are all empty pretensions.

It was said to be a comedy, but they had watched two episodes carefully and conscientiously, without even raising the corners of their mouths.

The most outrageous thing is that the filming of "Wulin Gaiden" has not been completed yet, and the channel only has 20 episodes.

It is understandable that pilot broadcasts will be conducted on TV stations in second- and third-tier cities to see the market effect before many dramas are released on satellite TV.

But it should be the only drama that was piloted on a TV station before it was finished filming.

The leader's face was obviously not very good, but Director Yao, who had worked hard to promote "Wulin Gaiden", still laughed and said: "Two leaders, the quality of "Wulin Gaiden" is still good. What is the audience's feedback? It's too early to tell now. We still have to wait for the market to test it.”

He has almost finished watching 20 episodes of "Wulin Gaiden".

From his personal point of view, "Wulin Gaiden" is a comedy, with not many laughs but some, and it is quite distinctive.

However, the broadcasting rights belong to the TV station. If the station backs off and suppresses the drama, there is nothing he can do about it.

The good thing is that we are all brothers, so no matter how unhappy we are, we still have to support it.

"As discussed at the beginning, let's try to show it on Taiyuan TV station."

"That's all. The program list has been sent out and will be launched on January 1st."

"Thank you two leaders for your support. I will lead Mr. Jiang out first."

At Yao Zhonghua's glance, Jiang Liu stood up with a relaxed expression and said goodbye.

"Mr. Jiang, what do you think?" Director Yao frowned slightly as he walked out of the TV station.

Having been poured cold water on his head by the two leaders, Yao Zhonghua also lacked confidence. In the end, his personal optimism about "Wulin Gaiden" did not play a decisive role.

Contrary to Yao Zhonghua, Jiang Liu is very confident: "Director Yao, don't worry, "Wulin Gaiden" is not aimed at elderly people."

Jiang Liu knew in his heart that the older generation of proletarian audiences would definitely find it difficult to adapt to the exaggerated artistic imagination.

The situation is different for young people. They can know nothing about martial arts novels.

But you must have a certain understanding of popular culture, and have some background knowledge of popular movies, TV, Hong Kong and Taiwan culture, and popular songs.

They may not know Jin Yong and Gu Long, but it is difficult not to know Wang Fei and Stephen Chow.

Many of the jokes, dialects, and nonsense in "Wulin Gaiden" will be refreshing to today's young people, and they will imitate them.

At the same time, "Wulin Gaiden" broke out of Taiyuan and Shanxi provinces until it was sought after by young people across the country.

After bidding farewell to Director Yao, Jiang Liu returned to the hotel alone, turned on the TV, and waited for the arrival of New Year's Day with peace of mind.

On the night before New Year's Day, Jiang Liu finally saw the trailer for "Wulin Gaiden" on Taiyuan TV's "People's Channel".

'Overwhelming'

"Sunflower Acupuncture Hand"

"buzzing"

On the screen, the trailer clips edited by "People's Channel" are all the bluffing tricks in the show.

Then there are the little shadow effects that Jiang Liu added to show that the moves are instantaneous or the character is running quickly.

The trailer ends with Guo Furong and her maid dressed in night clothes, standing on the roof with the huge and bright moon behind them.After the trailer was shown, Jiang Liu admired from the bottom of his heart: "Taiyuan TV Station has talents."

Taiyuan Xiaodian District, a polyester factory complex built in the 90s.

Shen Gang took a deep breath, stood up and stretched sideways while facing the subtitles of "Heroes of Sons and Daughters" on the TV.

He followed the Republic of China kung fu drama "The Legend of Heroes", which focuses on the anti-Japanese war, for 20 days.

He was quite excited about it at first. The actor named Yuan Biao was good-looking, and the heroine named Jia Jingwen was also pretty.

But Shen just watched about ten episodes and felt something was wrong.

The protagonists stopped resisting the Japanese and killing the little devils, and kept running away to fall in love.

An episode of a TV series lasts for 40 minutes, and 30 minutes are taken up by the chatting and incompetent rage of the leading actors and supporting actors.

The nonsense throughout is more annoying than the old ladies at home.

Shen Gang felt helpless. "Heroes of Sons and Daughters" was not as good as the war dramas he had watched in the past.

That's what he said, but from the bottom of his heart, Shen Gang didn't want to watch any more war dramas.

No matter how delicious the food is, you will still get tired of eating it every day throughout the year.

Otherwise, he would not have forced himself to pursue "The Heroes of Sons and Daughters" to its finale despite his depression.

"Dad, I changed the channel. You've finished watching it."

His son Shen Fei, who is in junior high school, shouted to change the channel, thinking that he could only change to a few channels. Tomorrow is a holiday again, Shen Gang pretended to be generous and said: "Change, watch for a while and then go to bed. I want to go to bed tomorrow." Do your homework.”

Shen Gang had reminded his son that he was just about to leave, and Shen Fei was about to change the channel when a very powerful "Sunflower Pointing Hand" came from the TV.

Then came another "overwhelming mountain" and a row of phantom figures.

Shen Gang retracted his legs, Shen Fei took his hand back from the remote control, and the father and son stared blankly at the TV screen.

It’s not like the father and son have never watched costume dramas before. In their early years, they had watched many TVB Jin Yong dramas, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and historical dramas, but they had never seen such a fresh costume drama.

Shen Gang dared to swear to God that at least this provincial station had never let go of such a TV series.

The big moon, the costumes of the actors, and the momentum of the lines are so rare to see.

["Wulin Gaiden" will be broadcast on time on "People's Channel" at [-]pm tomorrow night! 】

"What's your name?" Shen Gang asked his son Shen Fei, who was facing the TV.

Shen Fei said: ""Wulin Gaiden"."

"When will it be released?" Shen Gang asked again.

""People's Channel", tomorrow night at eight o'clock."

At the same time, the conversation between the Shen family and his son seemed to be replicated in many families in Taiyuan.

If there were big data at this moment, the people behind the data would be horrified to find that bits and pieces about "Wulin Gaiden" were pouring into the database like crazy.

Moreover, the average age of family members who pay attention to the trailer is very young, and they are the main force in market consumption.

In this way, the trailer of "Wulin Gaiden" took the lead in Taiyuan and surrounding areas.

Fanglian Community, No. 110 Xikang Street.

Dunhuafang Street, Jianhe Street, Yangjiayu Street, Xinghualing District.

Yijing Street and Luocheng Street, Jinyuan District.

Donghuangshui Town, Nitun Town, and Gaocun Township, Yangqu County.

Even districts and counties such as Yuci District in Jinzhong adjacent to Taiyuan.
