then what should we do?

It's not anyone else's responsibility.

Originally, the filming of this TV series had not officially started, and the leading actors had not yet signed contracts. However, it turned out that the project was postponed for two months because of problems with your film studio. Since there was no contract signed, everyone is still free.

If there was a better project with exciting shooting, there was no reason to refuse it, so they just jumped on it.

Not only the lead actors, but also the director has changed. The original chief director seems to be unable to take charge due to various reasons.

It can also be said that it's not that he can't film, but he can't put all his energy into this TV series.

This is what happened. In fact, the director was very innocent, and he didn't want to. It was because the timing couldn't go wrong.

All because of the length of the film!

Now is an era of popularity. For example, it is very common for TV series to be too long.

This kind of water is not ordinary water, but large-scale water, planned water, water that floods the Jinshan Mountains.

For example, the initial plan for this TV series was to shoot fifty episodes. For such a classic that has been handed down from generation to generation, and the content is so compact and diverse, fifty episodes is indeed a more reasonable number.

At the beginning, Jianbing also thought that this was a more appropriate episode, and he could renew his relationship with a director he had worked well with before. This was of course a very gratifying thing.

However, after preparations were made again, the situation changed qualitatively.

Investors have already made bold claims that our TV series will have 100 episodes!

right!

You heard it right!

That’s one hundred episodes!

Well, this is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people. At least, Jianbing was shocked when he first heard the news.

This... is too long.

Can it really be finished?

Is it really possible to shoot them all?

It’s hard to believe that someone would have such perseverance to shoot a hundred episodes of a TV series. At least, the last named chief director of Jianbing’s Good Friend was a little scared.

Everyone is somewhat famous, and everyone is very busy. If one hundred episodes of a TV series like this are shot, in terms of scale, it will be roughly equivalent to the length of three other TV series!

This is really a bit of a drag and a waste of time.

Although I don’t know how the specific script was written, it is conceivable that under the current conditions and background, if you want to make a 100-episode TV series, the project is quite huge and difficult.

You have to know that the TV drama market today is already different from what it was in the 1980s and 1990s.

At that time, in order to shoot a TV series remake of a famous movie, the crew could study it for three or four years, and the final product would only be dozens of episodes.

But now, such a TV series, which is said to be a masterpiece, can only have three to four months of filming time.

The time was shortened ten times compared to the past, and the length of the film shot was actually longer than before.

If you think about it, it would be impossible for this kind of TV series to make him uncomfortable.

Either it's water, or it's shoddy. In short, it's very difficult to produce pure quality products in such a short shooting time.

This is not a problem with the director's skill, it is simply a problem with the setting up of this project. Think about it, for a 100-episode TV series, each episode would require at least 35 minutes of filming, excluding the opening and closing credits.

So how many minutes does 100 sets total?

That’s right!

A very simple arithmetic question, that’s 3500 minutes!

In other words, it will take at least about 60 hours of shooting!

This is really difficult. Looking at domestic entertainment, or even looking at the film and television industry of various countries on the planet, if you want to shoot such a long TV series with full content, all kinds of excitement, numerous contradictions, and a clear main line, almost no director can do it.

Such ability.

There are some exciting themes that can break through this number of episodes and shoot at the same time, but they definitely have nothing to do with the one that Jianbing and the others are going to shoot.

That's the realm of family movies.

Daily style is the way to go.

Generally speaking, in today's film and television drama market, the only TV dramas that can exceed a hundred episodes are family films.

This has a certain basis in reality.

Because family films are inherently about a steady flow and tell stories about daily life, which can give people a sense of closeness.

Moreover, the story is rich in material, almost at your fingertips. The audience for family films is often older women.

This type of audience will continue to watch a certain TV series once they start watching it. The so-called audience stickiness is extremely high.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter if the family film is longer, it can be digested. For investors, this kind of family film is also a better choice.

After all, today's TV stations are also trying their best to fill up the entire day's broadcast time, so in addition to those blockbuster movies that will be on prime time, other time periods, such as morning shows, daytime shows, and various time-slots

Theaters need a lot of TV dramas to fill them.

Then, this kind of slow family movie is the first choice.

First, it is close to life, making it easier for women friends who control the daytime slot to be interested in watching it.

Second, and most importantly, this type of TV series is generally not too expensive when packaged. After all, the production cost itself is relatively low.

Commonly known as cheap, it is cheap and often has good ratings. Moreover, because of the large number of episodes, it can occupy a certain time period for a long time and be broadcast for a long time, so it will naturally be loved by TV stations.

It's no wonder that once many TV stations find that a certain family movie has good enough ratings, they will broadcast it repeatedly within a short period of time.

For no other reason than to save money and trouble.

For a long time, the director responsible for programming did not have to worry about the arrangements for the next film.
