Chapter 144 The heat explodes, Xu Kong and Su Zhi cooperate again
It probably took more than an hour to record the song, but Xu Kong and Su Zhi stayed in the recording studio until dinner time.
If it were Youyou, he probably wouldn't be able to stand up when he left.
But Su Zhi was different. Xu Kong was shocked again by her powerful recovery ability.
On the contrary, when he walked out of the recording studio, his legs and feet felt a little sore.
"I'm going to attend a few performances later. If you need help with anything else, please let me know in the next few days."
Su Zhi opened her mouth to remind.
Xu Kong recalled that what needed to be recorded now was probably the theme song of Fairy Sword.
So he shook his head.
It's April, and the weather in BJ has gradually begun to get warmer.
At the same time, the second trailer of Fairy Sword was also released.
This is still not the final official trailer. After all, according to the normal process, the current production of Fairy Sword has just been completed, not to mention it has been finalized, and even the broadcast platform has not yet been determined.
Of course, there are reasons for choosing such a time.
After all, the follow-up viewing session is about to begin. Showing the future market prospects of Fairy Sword at this time will help with subsequent negotiations on copyright fees.
The final effect far exceeded Xu Kong's expectations.
The day the trailer was released, it immediately topped the trending search on Weibo.
And the popularity is still continuing to grow.
"Preview of Xu Kong's new drama, and new songs?"
In Fat Bird's live broadcast room, he recently had a fight with a certain A-list singer.
Because I questioned the other party's half-open mic at the concert and serious decline in singing skills, we have been in line for nearly half a month.
So when I saw the news on the barrage, I was a little bit belated.
However, Fat Bird immediately put down what he was doing and opened Weibo.
"This trailer feels much more sophisticated than the one at the New Year's Eve party!"
Fat Bird commented casually.
Soon, various clips of the fairy sword appeared in the video.
""Slaying the Wolf""
"Singer: Su Zhi"
"Lyrics: Xu Kong"
"Composer: Xu Kong"
"It turned out to be the theme song sung by Su Zhi?"
"Damn, what an unexpected surprise, but it seems reasonable for Xu Kong to invite Su Zhi."
"It's a new song again. I feel like in addition to chasing Xu Kong's new drama, there will be a lot of good songs to listen to!"
After seeing Su Zhi's name on the barrage, the reaction was quite enthusiastic.
It can be seen that many of the CP party members of two people have even begun to be ecstatic.
"The body that has been sleeping for thousands of years wakes up from the rotten branches and dead leaves"
"It is the nightingale's sad sigh that breaks the spell"
Su Zhi's voice came, and the style was not the love songs that the other party was good at. On the contrary, the whole song seemed quite grand from the lyrics to the melody.
Of course, for Su Zhi, a diva, the difficulty of the song is not too high, and the overall performance is quite stable.
But at this moment, even Fat Bird himself has a hard time focusing entirely on the music itself.
The main thing is that this trailer is almost full of scenes with exquisite special effects.
In addition, the last trailer was shown on the big screen at the New Year's Eve party, and the clarity was not very satisfactory.
This time we can see Xu Kong, Song Youyou, and Shang Yuxin's costumes in the play more clearly.
Especially Xu Kong's costume is a bit too handsome.
In addition, in terms of the texture of the whole drama, it is completely obvious that it is not in the same style as those ancient puppet shows in the past.
This made Fat Bird, who had never watched ancient puppet shows, become somewhat interested now.
It wasn't until Su Zhi in the trailer sang the chorus of the entire song that his attention was drawn back to the song.
"Born to prove the traces of the existence of love"
"Greater life after fire burns"
"The quality of the theme song still maintains the high level of Xu Kong in the past."
Fat Bird gave a relatively restrained evaluation.
Of course the song is a good song. If it were a new song by some other musicians, it would have been praised to the sky.
But when it comes to the current Xu Kong, it won't be shocking.
However, it can be seen that in terms of soundtrack alone, this time "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will probably not lose to the previous "Want to See You".
"Killing is to praise the magnificence before destruction"
"The night is a wolf's deep eyes, lonely waiting for the dawn"
Fat Bird didn't speak until he watched the entire trailer.
"How is the quality?"
"Xukong performed normally, but I'm still not satisfied with one thing."
Fat Bird's words indeed aroused questions from many people in the live broadcast room.
But soon he spoke again.
"What I'm dissatisfied about is that Xu Kong writes so many new songs for his drama every time."
"There is still no news about my own album."
Many people couldn't help but complain about Fat Bird's heavy breathing, but after thinking about it carefully, everyone agreed.
Since last year's music festival, everyone has had great expectations for Xu Kong's new album.
I didn't expect that it had been so long, but there was no sign at all.
All the time is spent on the new drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Film and television fans were all satisfied when they saw this trailer, but it seems like the Fat Bird live broadcast room was full of music fans, so naturally they were not very satisfied.
Some people can't help but rush to press for a new album.
Of course, these are all minor episodes.
With the release of the latest trailer, Xu Kong's new drama "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is naturally the most popular.
Last time, there was a lot of discussion about Xu Kong's new drama.
Especially after Xu Kong said that he was not filming ancient puppets, but immortal heroes, various online film and television bloggers, self-media, film critics, etc. all came out to express their opinions.
Various rhythms and doubts have never stopped.
Some people think that Xu Kong is deliberately hyping it up, while others think that Xu Kong's words were purely arrogant and inflated after the success of "Want to See You".
Of course, Yiguo, the initiator of that discussion, immediately wrote his latest blog post analysis on the day the latest trailer of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was released.
"Although we still don't know what type of fairy tale drama Xu Kong calls it."
"But judging from the trailer that has been released so far, I really need to take back some of my original judgments." "What the trailer has shown so far, whether it is the costumes of the characters in the play, the texture of the entire film, and finally The eye-catching special effects are of a very high standard and completeness.”
"But in the final analysis, the most important thing about the whole drama is still the plot."
"It's still too early to draw a conclusion. After all, this is a new drama that hasn't even set a specific release date."
"But I still retain my original opinion. The possibility of Xu Kong's new drama overturning is not small."
"I'm not talking about whether the drama will be popular. I believe that with the current popularity of Xu Kong's new drama and the quality of the film, it is normal for it to get good data and even become a hit."
"But in terms of word of mouth"
Yiguo's article is actually relatively objective.
There is no denying the advantages shown in the trailer so far, especially the special effects part.
But similarly, she doesn't think Xu Kong's new drama can have any new ideas or how well it can handle the plot.
After all, many plots of the ancient puppet show have been filmed badly now. It is too difficult for Xu Kong to break out of the original framework.
In addition, judging from the quality of "Want to See You", Xu Kong's screenwriting ability is definitely not weak.
Yiguo believes that Xu Kong chose Guou because of the traffic and popularity, rather than continuing to maintain his previous reputation.
Yiguo is so big that it is almost one of the most influential film and television self-media in China.
The popularity has been high since its release.
Therefore, Xu Kong came across this related analysis article as soon as possible.
I have to say that Xu Kong himself felt that what the other party said was not a big problem.
The reason why he chose Fairy Sword instead of other dramas was mainly to make money.
Mainly because he was at Fengqing Entertainment at the time, and he had already anticipated the situation after the two new dramas of Fengqing Entertainment were aired.
At that time, if you wanted to help Yu Yaqing make Feng Qing entertained again, Fairy Sword was undoubtedly the best choice.
There may be a small number of viewers who don't approve of the show itself, but once this show is made, as long as there are no problems with the casting and basic production, it will definitely become a hit.
And it’s still a phenomenal hit.
Later, when he came to Feng Ge, he also thought that he had already written the script, so he simply continued filming the drama.
Of course, regarding the difference between Xianjian and Xianxia or ancient puppets, Xu Kong himself actually feels that there is no conflict between the two.
This drama itself can be said to be a fairy tale drama, but the route it takes is also that of ancient puppets.
The reason why he is confident is because he has seen other ancient puppet shows in this world.
It can't be said that it was completely crushed, it can only be said that it can be completely hung up and beaten.
Whether it is the plot, world view setting, or the decoration and special effects of the current Sword movie, Xu Kong has full confidence.
As long as the show itself is good, Xu Kong won't even need to take the initiative to say anything after it is aired, there will be a great scholar to defend him.
In a high-end hotel in the capital, Qin Xian arrived this morning.
In addition to attending the internal screening of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" this time, he also had some other business contacts in the capital, so he simply came two days in advance.
But I didn't expect that the plane had just landed, and before I even had time to rest at the hotel, I saw the news about the latest trailer of "Legend of Sword and Fairy".
"The heat is really high!"
Even he, the vice president of Kiwi Fruit, had to sigh with emotion at this moment.
From noon to evening, Xu Kong’s new drama has been steadily staying at the top of the hot searches.
This kind of popularity is still due to the fact that the drama has not been scheduled and the broadcast time is uncertain.
Xu Kong is worthy of being from Fengqing Entertainment, and his methods of hype and publicity are top-notch.
In Qin Xian's view, Xu Kong's step-by-step design was almost impeccable, from taking advantage of Beijing TV's New Year's Eve party to deliberately hyping up the so-called "Xianxia and ancient puppets" debate.
And this time period was chosen to release the latest trailer.
It is also equivalent to Mingpai telling them, the platform parties who came to attend the movie viewing party, look at the popularity of my drama, you have to think carefully when bidding!
"Based on the information currently revealed by Feng Ge, the length of Xu Kong's new drama will be around thirty to forty episodes."
"This internal film screening is probably not public, but besides us, several other video platforms have probably received invitations, and even several local TV stations, such as Mango, will also participate."
"Not just us, other platforms also attach great importance to it. I heard that Qin Xian of Kiwi Fruit also came to the capital."
Zeng Xi's expression became more serious as he listened to his assistant's report.
Originally, he had contacted Xu Kong in advance, thinking that he should be able to book the other party's new drama in advance.
Who knows that Xu Kong himself may be very young, but Fengge, as one of the largest film and television companies in the country, is still too shrewd.
When he was vague and didn't agree, he guessed that it wouldn't be easy for him to get the copyright for Xu Kong's new drama.
But unexpectedly, they actually held an internal movie viewing party and directly invited all the platform parties.
It's clear that I'm just waiting for them to bid a high price to grab it.
Zeng Xi’s performance last year was good. From the head of the copyright department, Zeng Xi gradually began to be exposed to and responsible for other aspects of Penguin Video’s business.
If Penguin Video can still dominate Kiwi this year, his subsequent position as vice president will be almost guaranteed.
Therefore, he is almost certain to win Xu Kong's new drama this time.
Of course, the premise is that there are no big problems with the quality of the finished film.
For this reason, we even prepared a copyright offer worth tens of millions for an episode.
The maximum budget limit is less than 500 million.
If Xu Kong's drama chooses to be broadcast on stars, they will not be completely exclusive. Such copyright fees are almost the top level in the industry.
He didn't think Qin Xian's character would be willing to pay such a high price.
At the same time, for Zeng Xi himself, although the money comes from the company and not from him, if he finally saves it, he estimates that his career will be over.
It can be said that it is completely a big gamble with one's own future. ,
As for the source of Zeng Xi’s confidence in this big gamble, it is not because of Fengge, an established domestic film and television company, nor is it the popularity of this drama before it is aired.
It's purely Xu Kong, a young newcomer in the film and television industry.
He has never forgotten how confident Xu Kong was when he chose to let "Want to See You" be broadcast in a split model.
Since the other party can bet, why can't he bet?
"Where did the news come from?"
"Don't let Feng Ge release it himself."
"No matter how popular Xu Kong's new drama is now, the copyright fee of five to six million per episode has already reached its peak."
Qin Xian was a little dismissive of the gossip that his subordinate Huang Qifeng got from somewhere.
He doesn't think any company is willing to pay a high price of tens of millions for an episode of copyright. No matter how popular Xu Kong is now, he is still a newcomer in the film and television industry.
The copyright fee of five to six million per episode is enough for Xu Kong's new drama to pay back its costs.
The subsequent copyright fees paid by TV stations such as Mango and Tomato are equivalent to pure profits, and the price is not expected to be lower than this figure.
Equivalent to a 100% return rate, which is already quite exaggerated.
What's more, the investment in Xu Kong's new drama this time is as high as over 200 million. The rate of return for such a large-scale project is probably considered quite successful even within Fengge Company.
Do you really think that these platforms are so good that they can hold a movie viewing party and get everyone to pay sky-high prices?
Anyway, Qin Xian can't be that stupid.
