superstar director

Chapter 411 Before the premiere

At the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, in the modern song and dance segment, besides Ning Tong and their NLZ group, there is another beautiful girl group TNY. Although many people regard TNY as a low-profile version of NLZ, pirated or something, but it is undeniable What's more, TNY's popularity is indeed second only to NLZ among Chinese girl groups, so it's not so surprising that they were invited to the Spring Festival Gala.

However, Yolanda, who was still excited because of receiving the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala, immediately lost that joy after seeing her old rival Ning Tong, leaving only jealousy and unwillingness to be with her.

It’s great that the two of them performed together at around ten o’clock. Ning Tong and the others played first, followed by TNY, followed by two dances. The dance teachers and performers were all this year Individuals and groups with the most awards, and the last song and dance mixed performance is an old heavenly king partnering with the top domestic song and dance troupe.

During the rehearsal, Yolanda looked at the new song sung by Ning Tong and the three of them, and couldn't help being jealous in her heart, "If I have a brother like Ning Cheng, I will definitely be better than you!"

The surrounding staff and other rehearsal staff also applauded the wonderful new song of Ning Tong and the three together. The director was also very satisfied, so when he gave Ning Tong and the others their opinions, they seemed to be much gentler, and when it was TNY's turn to perform , Yolanda obviously felt that the director's attitude was worse than before, but as a young singer, she didn't dare to stand up to the director of the Spring Festival Gala, so she could only grit her teeth and hold her breath by herself, rehearsing according to the director's opinion over and over again.

Yolanda can clearly feel that the director is not satisfied with their song, but she began to understand that this song is a work selected by the company from the music library, which is not bad, just because of the song " "Invisible Wings" will appear to be one level worse.

Therefore, Yolanda's hatred for Ning Tong and NLZ has increased in her heart.The two groups were in the same large lounge, and apart from saying hello when they first met, there was almost no communication, and they even moved away immediately when they occasionally met each other. Staying in the lounge will make other people very depressed.

However, compared to the three smooth and snobbish members of TNY, Ning Tong and the three directly confessed, and their simple attitude is obviously more liked by everyone, but whether they praised them in person or called them stupid behind their backs is unknown. .

However, the three of Ning Tong obviously didn't care about these things. After the tense rehearsal, the three of them took advantage of the crew's vacation time to have fun, and went around to eat delicious food to reward their stomachs. Although the boxed lunches of the crew were not bad, they got used to it The three of them who eat all kinds of delicacies still feel very hungry.

On the night of the Spring Festival, Ning Sheng and Emma quietly went back to China to spend the holiday with their parents, while Ning Tong found out that his brother had returned after the performance was over, so there was another fuss.Especially after twelve o'clock, Ning Tong immediately reached out to ask Ning Cheng for a red envelope. Fortunately, Ning Cheng was prepared, otherwise, looking at the eyes of this dead girl, Ning Tong, she knew that there would be no end to it.

This Spring Festival, Ning Sheng and Emma have been staying with Ning's father and Ning's mother, playing cards, eating delicious food, watching movies, playing games, chatting, and enjoying family affection together.

And Ning Tong was called back by the crew with the other two friends after the sixth day, but their song "Invisible Wings" performed on the Spring Festival Gala has become the hottest single at the moment. The number of downloads has already exceeded 500 million, and the media will inevitably report with praise. Although it is necessary to mention Ning Sheng who wrote the song, the focus is still on the three girls of NLZ.

Because Ning Cheng has written too many good songs, there is nothing to say about Ning Cheng's writing songs now. If one day Ning Cheng writes a bad song, it will be good news that attracts people.

Therefore, when reporting, the focus was naturally on the three girls of Ning Tong, so Yolanda tore up the newspaper and smashed the TV remote control again.

Yolanda, who was in a bad mood, didn't stay at home for long, and was soon called back to the crew of "Little Times" by Guo Xiaosi. As the atmosphere of the Spring Festival gradually dissipated, people gradually resumed their busy lives in the past, for the sake of their families , for the ideal, work nine to five, work overtime to make money, work hard!
At this time, Dongfeng TV's Golden Theater began to preview a new TV series to promote the new TV series.

Produced by Xingtong Studio, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" starring Ning Tong and Zhang Zhilin will be broadcast at the Golden Theater in half a month.

The copyright of this martial arts drama was sold together with the TV series "A Thousand Bone Flower" and "Scary Step by Step" produced by two other studios last year. Because there was a clause to limit the broadcast time when it was sold, it was negotiated. It took some time.

In order to make the three of Ning Tong feel thundered internally, when Xingtong Studio bought the copyright, it required that no matter who bought the TV series, the broadcasting time must be staggered, that is to say, the broadcasting time of these three TV series cannot conflict. It has to be played one after another.

Many TV stations are dissatisfied with this. They spend a lot of money to buy TV series. Naturally, they can broadcast them whenever they want, especially sometimes they have to adjust according to the ratings of the TV series. Therefore, many TV stations have repeatedly negotiated with them. The best is to lower the price under this condition.

It's a pity that Ning Cheng has already ordered that the price of our TV series is not to say much higher than others, but at least it cannot be lower than others, so the lowest price must be maintained at the highest level in the industry, because of years of hard work , Xingtong Studio's reputation and quality are worth the price.

In the end, there was even a time when the TV stations united to force Ning Sheng to submit. They said they wouldn't lower the price, or abolish the condition of the broadcast time, so they wouldn't buy it. If no TV station broadcasts it, your TV series will be thrown into your hands.

In this regard, Ning Cheng's decision was to directly contact Qiku, an online video company, and planned to sell the online copyright first. However, the people at the TV station saw that Ning Cheng was so tough, and some people who had tried it hesitated. The director was decisive once, and directly talked with Ning Sheng privately, and bought all the first-round exclusive broadcast rights of the three TV series, but the three TV series together, this is a sky-high price, even the TV station will not be able to get it for a while Pay so much money.

So, the director thought of an interesting method, or a method that is very popular in the film and television industry today, and that is to bet against each other.

Different from those shocking bets in the film industry, the bet between Ning Sheng and the other party is not big, it is based on the ratings of the three TV series. After signing the contract, the TV station will pay the price of the three TV series first, and then Look at the ratings of this one, if you can win the first place in the country at the same time, then the price of the second part will automatically increase by [-]%, and then look at the ratings of the second part, if the ratings win the first place in the country again One, the price of the third part continues to rise by [-]%.

Of course, if the ratings of the first part fail to get the first place in the country, then the price of the second part will be reduced by [-]%, and if the ratings of the second part are not the first, then the price of the third part On the basis of the second part, it will continue to be lowered by [-]%.

The floating ratio is the same, the only difference is that the TV station will not pay for all three TV dramas at once, but pay one by one, and the second and third TV series will be determined according to the ratings price.

Don't underestimate the 300% fluctuation. Dongfang TV bought the exclusive rights to broadcast the first 1.2 episodes of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" at a price of 60 million for a single episode, a total of 1.8 million, while the second 800 The original price of "A Thousand Bone Flowers" is [-] million. If it goes up by [-]%, it will be [-] million more. Even if the TV station has a big business, the float of nearly [-] million is definitely a big number.

Therefore, this gamble is really trivial for those gambles in the film industry that easily cost hundreds of millions, but for TV stations, it is definitely a rare big gamble.

Now, as the TV station released a promotional trailer, the audience suddenly remembered this martial arts drama filmed last year, especially as the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" sold well all over the country, and even began to be translated into multiple languages. The film and television drama of the novel must be highly anticipated.

Of course, in order to keep the mystery, in addition to the martial arts scenes in the trailer, most of the literary dramas are supporting roles. The protagonists, especially Huang Rong, did not show too many shots. Itchy.

Then, when the theme song of the TV series was released on the Internet and TV stations in the form of a single MV, in an instant, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" attracted the hearts of audiences across the country with the song "Iron Blood and Heart".

As soon as the prelude of "Iron Blood and Heart" comes out, there are continuous and rapid upward strings and overwhelming yellow sand-like harmonies, and people enter that scene, "severe wind and sand, wild wildness", the hero "shoots the eagles and draws the bow and gallops outside the fortress, smiling proudly" There is no boredom in this life", the beauty softly chanted "the two vines and trees are lingering", "the heart is in the heart after a hundred calamities".The love of family and country, the lyrics and melody are full of masculine atmosphere, which makes people's blood surge.

On the TV, on the desert grassland, the Mongolian cavalry are clanging with iron hooves, full of male blood, masculine killing, high in the sky, thousands of miles of blue sky, eagles spreading their wings, and golden eagles singing, spanning tens of thousands of miles!

In the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the chivalrous swords blared together, flying in the air, glaring at each other. Scene after scene, each character, under the strict control of the veteran actors and the director, everyone who is familiar with the original work will feel instantly You can guess which character this is.

This song was naturally written by Ning Sheng, and the singers who sang were selected from the contestants of the second "Cantonese Singer Contest". They were two middle-aged singers who could sing well. Although they did not enter the top three in the "Cantonese Singer Contest", since they received the invitation from Xingtong Studio and sang this theme song, they have been looking forward to the moment when this song will be broadcast.

Sure enough, after several months of waiting, with the popularity of this song, the popularity of the two singers soared instantly, and various commercial performances rushed into their hands. The anticipation of the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has become even more eager, and it has also made the two second-line singers suddenly popular, becoming the hottest male and female chorus singers at the moment!
As for Ning Sheng, who has already done all this, he is now in Dubai, but he can't hang out with Emma anymore, because Ge Jie brought the director's edited "New Fist of Heroes" and chased him directly. , just for Ning Sheng to give a review after watching it.

Brother Jie said that if Ning Cheng said it was no good after watching it, then the movie would not be shown at all. Anyway, the investment in the movie was only tens of millions besides his salary, so he could still afford it. Speaking of which, Ning Sheng gave the script to At that time, he also charged 100 million yuan for script adaptation, and the film investment was all invested by Brother Jie's own studio. Originally, you Ning Sheng said that he could help invest, but Brother Jie refused.

He said that the movie may not be profitable or even hurting others, so he voted for it himself. Now if Ning Cheng really says no, in order to prevent his fans and popularity from falling again, Brother Jie may really make the master copy of the movie. The direct collection refused to be screened.

After all, less than two years have passed since the last "Heroes of Fist of Fury", and now the same actors, the same name, and the same main story line, if the filming is not good, fans will definitely think that this is brother Jie trying to collect money and fool fans Playing, sometimes not only the media will be excited to scold endlessly, the most important thing is that those fans and fans who support Brother Jie may be sad, and then they will lose their fans and never watch Brother Jie’s movies again. But absolutely very dangerous.

Therefore, even though Ning Cheng was very happy to be interrupted on vacation, he still watched the new movie seriously with Brother Jie. Although Ning Sheng gave a lot of suggestions at the beginning of filming, and the script was written in detail, but different Director, the filming will definitely not be exactly the same, but the main selling point has indeed been filmed.

Especially the wonderful action scenes in it, clean and neat, full of power, especially the final battle with Fujita Takeshi, which is very exciting, not as bad as the original version.

Ning Cheng looked at Brother Jie's nervous expression, smiled and said, "I'm not sure how much the box office will be, but I think at least it will be more popular than the original one, but in order to prevent fans from scolding you The movie was filmed twice to make money, you’d better make it clear to everyone during the publicity that the two movies have some similarities, and then show the similarities and differences in the trailer, especially the action scenes It’s different, let movie fans know—”

Brother Jie nodded happily, and talked to Ning Sheng about the movie's promotion method for a while, and then happily flew back to China overnight. This movie will be released in this year's summer, so that fans can check it out!
