The assistant director stared wide-eyed at Director Wei in disbelief, "Wouldn't this... hey, it seems like it could work!"
The assistant director originally wanted to say that this format might affect the overall quality of the TV series due to insufficient plot development.
After all, a TV series requires various editing techniques, such as flashbacks and interludes. If subsequent plot points are not filmed, the visual richness cannot be achieved.
However, upon closer examination, he realized that the main character's scenes had actually been filmed long ago.
What's been missing all along is Liu Jing's screen time.
After Xu Yanyu joined the cast, some of Liu Jing's scenes had already been filmed.
Conservatively speaking, the content that Xu Yanyu filmed before could support at least twenty episodes of a TV series.
A 20-episode TV series can take up to half a month to air.
Through this period of working with Xu Yanyu, I found that Xu Yanyu's acting skills are quite good and she is very dedicated. The filming efficiency of the crew is also very high.
Even though the script was revised a lot later, everyone could still guarantee that all the scenes would be filmed in a little over a week.
Therefore, Director Wei's plan is entirely feasible.
"Right? You also think my plan is perfect, right?"
If I wait two months to announce the broadcast, it'll be too late—I'll be eating shit before it's even hot!
"It just so happens that the station is looking for a drama to replace the evening program, and our 'The Legend of the Immortals: Fallen Flowers' can take over the time slot immediately."
Director Wei slapped his thigh, looking excitedly at the assistant director.
The assistant director picked up his phone, scrolled through Weibo's trending topics, and said happily, "We can save a lot on publicity costs, and the station will definitely be happy about that."
Look at all these trending topics on Weibo; they're all related to Xu Yanyu.
"We'll just need to spend a little money and leverage Yan Yu's popularity for further publicity."
"Money is a small matter. If the funds run out, I can just write another note and apply to the station for more."
The key point is that there is a strong demand from netizens online, and everyone wants to see the TV series broadcast as soon as possible.
If we can capitalize on a trending topic, the ratings will definitely be high. Ratings are something money can't buy.
Director Wei watched as the number of video reposts kept increasing.
This isn't some celebrity fan war; it's clearly a publicity stunt for his TV series!
The more Xu Yanyu's fans share this, the more netizens will know about this TV series.
Xu Yanyu seems to be his lucky star!
Therefore, he must seize this opportunity when good fortune comes his way.
The assistant director nudged Director Wei, "Then you'd better hurry up and let the stage know!"
If a TV series is suddenly to be broadcast, it still needs to go through the approval process from higher authorities, and the station also needs to coordinate things.
Although the TV series was invested in by our own station, it still had to go through the approval process from higher authorities.
This process will take quite a bit of time.
Director Wei said jokingly, "What's the rush? I have important things to do right now."
The assistant director rolled his eyes at him. How could he not be anxious if things were going to be like this?
Ignoring the assistant director's disapproving look, Director Wei picked up his phone and called Xu Yanyu.
Xu Yanyu was currently checking her system.
She wanted to see how much reputation she had now.
Although her fans were still arguing with Xi Rubao's fans online, Xu Yanyu stopped caring about online matters after posting that Weibo message from Director Wei's crew.
She believes that the audience can tell who performs well and who performs poorly when two actors are playing the same story.
At times like these, her confidence stems from her abilities.
Once the strength is proven, netizens will stop arguing too much.
But just as she opened the system's reputation interface, her phone rang.
Xu Yanyu picked up her phone to check; it was Director Wei calling.
She answered the phone, and Director Wei's excited voice came from the other end.
"Yan Yu! You should be done with the work on the 'Singer 2024' program, right?"
You don't have anything else going on in H City, right?
If you don't have anything else to do today, would you like to go back to the film studio tonight?
Xu Yanyu was taken aback; she really didn't have anything else to say.
But didn't we agree to go back tomorrow?
Why was Director Wei in such a hurry? Was it because he was worried that she would be surrounded by paparazzi and it wouldn't be safe for her?
Xu Yanyu was touched for a moment.
But Director Wei's next words shattered the budding emotion in her heart.
"Yan Yu, come back to filming right away! Our crew really needs you right now."
The director on the other side called out in a very friendly manner.
Xu Yanyu...
They need her to do some work!
"Director Wei, didn't we agree to go tomorrow? I should be able to get some rest tonight, right?"
Xu Yanyu looked at the two-meter-wide bed and thought of the freshly scattered roses in the bathtub...
She could have relaxed a bit before leaving.
"Listen to me, I've been thinking about it, and I've decided to schedule the TV series to air this month. Although it's not finished filming yet, I plan to film and air it simultaneously."
"So in order to catch up with the broadcast schedule, I'll have to trouble you to come back tonight, and we'll continue tomorrow."
Director Wei speaks incredibly fast, as if his mouth has been burned.
"Oh, so rushed? Why change the time at the last minute?" Xu Yanyu was confused by Director Wu's words.
The TV series hasn't even finished filming yet, but it's supposed to air this month.
"Many netizens are urging us to speed up the production in the comments section of the crew's Weibo post."
"I see that it's getting a lot of buzz right now, so I'll just air it this month."
And actually, we've already filmed almost all of it.
"By learning Gao Liguo's playback model, we can save on later promotion costs."
Director Wei paused for a moment, then continued, "In the end, we have to thank you for this!"
