Dongyang Film and Television Base.

Yang Ming was discussing special effects model issues with several designers at Leying Digital.

This TV series had unparalleled brilliance in its previous life. He wanted to make this classic in this life, so naturally he didn't want to have any flaws.

In previous lives, the special effects production was a relatively criticized aspect of this classic.

But that was in the new century, after 2000.

In the nineties.

Although the special effects shots of "The Legend of White Snake" are not top-notch in the world, they are still considered noble for the Chinese film and television industry at that time.

The most critical thing is that the dazzling fights, produced with fake special effects, are not the selling point of "The Legend of White Snake" at all, and they have never been the key factors that made this TV series a legendary classic.

The key reason why "The Legend of White Snake" has become a classic and an indelible memory of a generation in its previous life lies in its touching and poignant storyline.

Rather than special effects action.

In the previous life, the Chinese film and television industry entered the new century.

Some TV series spend a lot of money on special effects to shoot big scenes, but they still feel fake.

But whenever summer vacation comes, several domestic TV stations begin to rebroadcast old classic TV series such as "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Journey to the West". Audiences with wide-eyed views have already experienced the baptism of various special effects productions. At this time, they see

In these classic old dramas, you can tell at a glance that the special effects are too fake.

But even so.

Every time countless viewers watch these classic old dramas, they still watch them with gusto and don't curse because of the outdated special effects shots.

If you switch to other TV series, they are not two completely different treatments.

Why?

In fact, this is the charm of classics.

It allowed countless audiences to once again face the classics that had brought them beauty, showing great tolerance.

That being said, Yang Ming still wanted to make everything perfect.

The previous version of "The Legend of White Snake" was limited by various reasons and did not invest too much in special effects production.

In this life, Yang Ming has the conditions to be fully willful.

For the special effects production of "The Legend of White Snake" this time, Yang Ming asked Leying Digital to treat it exactly like a commercial blockbuster.

This classic once still has its charm after twenty years, but now he has to reach this point, so the special effects production must not be too scummy, even if he spends too much money, he is willing to do it.

Besides, with "The Legend of White Snake"'s terrifying ability to attract money, Yang Ming didn't have to consider the cost budget at all.

The income from the first broadcast rights is enough to ensure that this TV series will use a top special effects team, and this does not include the second and third rounds of rights.

Yang Ming discussed with several staff members for a while, told several staff members about his requirements, and then brought them back to Yanjing to arrange for the team to make time for production.

In fact, there are not many special effects production scenes in "The Legend of White Snake" and there is plenty of time.

At this time, Yang Ming's cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and answered the call. After saying a few words, his face showed a surprised look, but he quickly returned to normal.

After a while, the call ended and I hung up the phone.

Yang Ming took his mobile phone and gave instructions to several staff before walking out of the studio.

He went to a secluded corner outside, with a solemn look on his face.

Director Liu from the military art troupe just told him an insider tip that the film "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" co-invested by Victory Pictures and Zhonghuang Entertainment will most likely be broadcast on national television.

He touched his chin, thinking about the changes brought about by the news.

This is a serious challenge for Phoenix TV.

After all, the coverage of national television in China is not comparable to that of Phoenix TV. Even if Phoenix TV now makes up for the last shortcoming by acquiring Fuzhou TV, the influence of national television is still not something that Phoenix TV can challenge.

The gap is too big.

The major cities are okay, the gap is not big.

But at the level of towns and rural areas, compared with national TV stations, Phoenix TV is estimated to be several levels behind other provinces except Fuzhou and Guangzhou.

Of course, Phoenix TV is not without its advantages.

Mobile version!

PC version!

In terms of mobile new media, Phoenix TV's influence ranks first in the country. In particular, under the advice of a professional financial team, Yang Ming allowed Phoenix TV and Popcorn.com to cross-sharehold with each other. Popcorn.com specializes in providing Phoenix TV with

A separate special channel has been opened.

As a result, Phoenix TV has become even more powerful in new media. In the previous life, new media was already the general trend. Yang Ming was reborn from that era to this life, so he naturally had a deep impression on this aspect. Therefore, at the beginning, in his

Under the suggestion, Phoenix TV and Popcorn.com both attach great importance to the operation of mobile new media.

Now it is almost reaching the outbreak stage.

Moreover, whether it is network hardware or the general environment, China in this century has more favorable conditions for the development of new media, and it is developing faster than the same period in previous generations.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming couldn't help but frown.

Even though Phoenix TV has the advantages of online PC and mobile new media, facing the behemoth national TV station is not something Phoenix TV can challenge today.

But how to say it.

The national television station has great advantages in traditional TV broadcasting platforms.

Otherwise, the five top first-tier TV stations including Lion City TV, Modu TV, and Bayu TV, no matter how hard they try to surpass the national TV station, they will still be suppressed by the national TV station and cannot stand up.

That explains it all.

"Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" is broadcast on national television, which is not a big deal.

The key point is that Director Liu just told Yang Ming on the phone that the other party's TV series may not only be broadcast on national television, but the broadcast time may be around New Year's Day!

This is fatal.

If nothing else goes wrong, "The Legend of White Snake" will also be launched around New Year's Day, premiering on Phoenix TV, and will also be broadcast simultaneously on Popcorn Network, but it will be one hour later than the TV station.

Moreover, the approximate broadcast time was also revealed when Wu Yuanzhi and Liu Xinsheng held a press conference last time.

Unless there is a major accident, there will be no changes.

But now "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" will also premiere around New Year's Day, most likely on national television.

If Yang Ming doesn't know the news now and only learns it after a while, it will leave him no more time to adjust and respond.

Victory Pictures, Zhonghuang Entertainment.

It seems that these two families have settled down with him.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Oriental DreamWorks and Phoenix TV to just announce that "The Legend of White Snake" will be premiered around New Year's Day, and they have started working on "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" to also be broadcast on New Year's Day, and it will be on national television.

.

This was all a sudden attack to give Yang Ming a sap.

Yang Ming returned to the hotel and immediately called Wu Yuanzhi and Liu Xinsheng, and then the three held a remote conference call to tell them about the incident.

"It's not easy to get on national television. Based on my understanding of national television, if a TV series has not been filmed yet, there is no way to get a schedule, unless it is a political task arranged by the higher-ups." Liu Xinsheng said disdainfully on the phone.

said in a tone of voice.

He is from Yanjing and has been in the Yanjing entertainment industry for so many years, so he understands the behavior of national television stations very well.

Contemporary China allows private capital to control the media, but it must abide by strict rules and regulations. Therefore, almost all provincial TV stations in the country are controlled by private capital and have no direct relationship with the government.

But national television is different.

This TV station has been state-owned from the moment it was established.

As the mouthpiece of high-level government officials to the outside world, it will never be acquired by private capital.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this.

The disadvantage is that the national television station is inherently no different from the government. The top executives of the television station always use the thinking of officials to deal with various matters on the national television station.

This results in the fact that although the national television station has huge influence, it appears to be cautious in everything, for fear of making any mistakes.

Not making mistakes means making meritorious deeds.

Therefore, Liu Xinsheng believes that it is impossible for the national television station to take the risk and agree to air an unfinished TV series on the station and arrange the broadcast schedule in advance. This possibility is too small.

Unless there is a connection with heaven.

"Those officials on national television are not that easy to talk to." Wu Yuanzhi also agreed with Liu Xinsheng's analysis.

After all, she has been in the television industry for so many years, and no one knows better than her what the top brass of national television are doing.

Yang Ming heard Liu Xinsheng and Wu Yuanzhi's analysis on the phone. Although he thought it was unlikely, he didn't know why, but he had a hunch that the other party's "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" would definitely open up these joints. Around New Year's Day

Broadcast on national television.

Last time, Minister Guo vaguely mentioned the Zhao family to him, and then he also asked his uncle to inquire about the Zhao family's information.
