Chapter 172 New dramas for the coming year
In the next few days, there was new news about "The Tang Dynasty Empire". The post-production has basically been completed and submissions for review have begun.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be broadcast on CCTV in the first half of this year. The specific time is not yet certain, it depends on the schedule, but if nothing unexpected happens on the platform, it will be the same.
With so many stars and a large-scale historical drama, Huayang TV takes it very seriously.
The biggest competitor "Qiao's Courtyard" has been confirmed to be broadcast on February 13th, and it has been taken advantage of.
There is no way, the shooting time is behind, and because the two parts have many episodes, the post-production is also time-consuming, so it can only be ranked at the back.
In addition, "Princess Diaoman" is scheduled to be broadcast in February. Because Chen Linfeng joined the cast relatively late, the time was delayed.
Moreover, the joining of Chen Linfeng attracted the attention of several provincial satellite TV stations, who joined the competition for the show and fought back and forth for several rounds.
For two reasons, the broadcast time was a few months later than the previous version, which was piloted on a local small station at the end of 2005.
But now Chen Linfeng is at his most popular, and many viewers are looking forward to his new drama.
Many people on the Internet are paying attention to the trends of its new dramas, which is better than the active marketing of most dramas.
During the Chinese New Year, several members of the Chen family were making year-end summaries and future plans as usual.
In 2005, the TV dramas invested by Dragon and Qilin Company, including "Seven Fairies of Joy", "Jingwei Reclamation" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy", have all been aired and achieved good ratings.
Among them, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has just finished broadcasting, and it has already started its second round of broadcasting, and its influence is spreading further.
After this year, including Chen Linfeng’s two subsequent dramas, dramas such as "Detective Di Renjie 2" and "The Legend of Xue Rengui" will be broadcast one after another.
In the first half of the year, "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was the main investment and production, and in the second half of the year, "Legend of Shaolin Temple" will be co-produced with Central Plains Province and Taiwan.
The projects he participated in include "Soldier Assault", "Golden Wedding", "Spring Stepmother's Heart", etc. It can be seen from these dramas that Chen Shantong has decided to follow the trend and start to develop modern urban themes and bitter love dramas. , a bet was placed on this version of the answer.
The drama "Legend of Shaolin Temple", as the most important major production in the province, actually achieved pretty good results in its previous life.
But there is still the same problem. Since 2007, martial arts dramas have been in a state of decline.
Even if the production is well-made and the fighting scenes are very good looking, it is difficult to go against the general trend.
Even if the ratings were acceptable when it was broadcast, it would be difficult to cause word-of-mouth spillover. By the 2020s, there would be almost no relevant discussions on the Internet.
Of course, as an investment, it is still good.
In addition, as a drama that Shaolin Temple has also invested its efforts in, Shi Xiaolong cannot avoid being involved in it. After all, it is not like he was still in school at this time in his previous life.
It has been decided to join the group.
Chen Linfeng was naturally invited, but in the second half of the year, he wanted to be his own director and make a TV series, so he declined for this reason.
His own drama is also the focus of Longlin Company in the second half of the year. The script outline has been prepared and filed.
Chen Linfeng contacted several graduates who have performed very well in the past through the school. They are now emerging figures and want to bring them into his studio.
The pain point for these students is that although they have shown their talent and strength, they still have a long way to go before they can stand alone.
Chen Linfeng’s invitation is an opportunity.
He clearly told these people that he would use one or two TV series to practice his skills at most, and then he would start film production. Even if he was not qualified enough, he would find another director to support them in making their first feature film.
The seniors readily agreed that they would join the group in the second half of the year.
Chen Shantong asked Chen Linfeng, "It has been spread that you are going to film a drama. Fang Hua also tested me some time ago, do you want to work with him?"
Chen Linfeng said in surprise, "This is an idol drama, is he willing to join us?"
"What's wrong with that? I think he trusts you so much that he's a bit superstitious."
This kind of thing happened The main reason is that Chen Shantong revealed that his selection of dramas actually relied on his son's vision, combined with the huge success of "Journey to the West" and "Lotus Lantern".
It's hard for Fang Hua not to be fascinated. "Of course I am willing to cooperate with him. Maybe a TV series will be made, and I hope it will be broadcast on CCTV."
Chen Linfeng nodded and asked his father to talk about it later in the year.
There are also some aspects of urban dramas involving brand placement that need to be discussed in advance. Chen Linfeng delegates these matters to Chen Shantong and Sister Mei.
This year's Spring Festival Gala can barely maintain the quality, and the song "Three Auspicious Treasures" is very outstanding.
In language programs, Zhao Benshan can still maintain his airs. "Telling Things", which he collaborated with Song Dandan and Xiao Cui, is not much worse than "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" a few years ago.
After his show, Liu Qianqian called as usual.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. They talked every now and then, and they didn't hang up the phone until after midnight.
Same as last year, Shi Xiaolong ran to his younger brother's room after turning off the lights.
Chen Linfeng said speechlessly, "What are you doing here again?"
Shi Xiaolong ignored his brother's impatience and asked with interest, "Xiao Feng, what does it feel like to be in love?"
"How do I know? I'm not in love."
Shi Xiaolong was speechless, "Isn't this enough for you two?"
He muttered, "People call me every New Year, and my parents feel something is wrong."
It feels like this has happened recently. The two of them were almost married and always stayed together. Liu Qianqian always brought drinks, snacks and other things to Xiaofeng.
There must be something fishy anyway.
Chen Linfeng couldn't say clearly what the current situation between the two was. He felt that since the incident when Liu Qianqian was exposed online, their relationship has become much more harmonious.
He has noticed that the other party may indeed have a good impression of him, but he is not sure to what extent this good feeling exists.
As for himself, faced with Tianxian's initiative, it is difficult to say that he is not tempted.
However, after all, the window paper has not been pierced, so it is definitely not a relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, but it cannot be said that they are just simple friends.
He thought for a while and said, "Not yet, there must be an opportunity."
Sitting on the bed, Shi Xiaolong felt a little cold. He put his feet under the quilt to warm them, and then said, "You also The boss is old, it’s time to make it clear.”
Chen Linfeng rolled his eyes, “Don’t imitate our mother, you know.”
He changed the topic and asked, “Starting next year. , I guess I’m going to start filming a movie, do you have your own plan?”
Shi Xiaolong forgot his original purpose and was successfully diverted.
"When we talked together before, we also said that this year we will shoot a TV series, a martial arts film "Shaolin Temple", a military theme, and a role for you in the second half of the year. Next year, you may still shoot a TV series. I want to make a movie. No one is looking for me.”
Indeed, this circle is still relatively difficult to cross, unless you join a company like Huayi that produces movies, participate in movies through self-made dramas, and successfully transfer to a big company. screen.
Hu Ge spent so much effort in his previous life, but still failed to transform smoothly. It is indeed difficult to think that there is no chance.
Chen Linfeng thought for a while and comforted, "It would be good to film some TV series in the past two years. It's always good to get familiar with each other. When I make a career in movies, you will have a chance."
In the 1910s, apart from the talented comedians like Shen Teng, among the few male stars who could compete at the box office, Wu Jing, Wang Baoqiang, and Xu Guangtou all made their way into the national spotlight through TV series. degree of experience.
Huang Bo seems to be able to withstand the box office, but in fact, the effect is not very good when it comes to single resistance, and this man has actually acted in several good TV series.
Shi Xiaolong was not very happy after hearing this. As an older brother, he didn’t really want his younger brother to lead him away.
If you want to participate in your brother's TV series project, you better make sure that you can help him by joining.
He sighed and sighed, "At this time, I suddenly began to feel that actors really have no future and no autonomy at all."
