Chapter 1094: Even if I'm full of liver, I can't explode!
This TV series came too suddenly. Not only were the audiences unprepared, but even the Magic City Satellite TV, which had snatched up this drama, was not prepared at all.
Because the remaining schedules for this year are already full, and the public has already been informed of the previews. At this time, if there are no problems with other TV series, you can't just take down other TV series and replace them with this one from Earthling Studio.
Of course, Wang Xiuying also doesn't want any problems to arise with the TV series she purchased.
Because once these dramas have serious problems that need to be rescheduled, then I will have to bear a large part of the responsibility. More importantly, if they are serious enough to be rescheduled, then whether the drama can still be broadcast will also be questionable.
If the show doesn't get broadcasted, wouldn't Wang Xiuying's money for the first broadcast rights be wasted? Now is not the era when you can buy the first broadcast rights for a show for a few million. TV shows are expensive nowadays! Except for the low-budget, low-investment, and star-studded online dramas, other TV shows that can be broadcast on satellite TV start at tens of millions.
And ever since Lin Fan produced "Journey to the West", a drama with a single episode grossing over 10 million yuan, the price of first broadcast rights for TV dramas in China has directly increased by several levels, resulting in an endless stream of TV dramas with first broadcast rights grossing over 100 million yuan in recent years.
Of course, there is no TV series with the same ratings as "Journey to the West" yet.
The price of the first broadcast rights for TV series and movies produced by Earthling Studio has always been slightly higher than that of other TV series and movies of the same type. However, everyone is still willing to spend a little more money to strive for the first broadcast rights, because the ratings of TV series and movies produced by Earthling Studio are more guaranteed than those of other companies.
This time, Wang Xiuying is also full of confidence in the drama, or rather, the entire Shanghai Satellite TV is very confident in the drama. The only thing that worries people is the schedule issue.
This year's schedule is really full! Even the schedule for the first half of next year is almost full.
If the drama is postponed to the second half of next year according to the schedule of Shanghai TV, Wang Xiuying will be really unwilling.
But if you want to squeeze in, it becomes a problem wherever you squeeze in.
The key point is: "Does the Earthling Studio have any opinions?"
Wang Xiuying was helpless: "No, President Yang has no objection at all. She told us to arrange the broadcast time as we like. She will try her best to let the main creative staff of the crew cooperate with us in publicity."
The most difficult thing is to have no opinion.
Although the main creative staff of the crew has the obligation to assist the TV station in promoting the upcoming TV series, but your promotion period coincides with my schedule, so there must be a trade-off, even if the TV series is produced by our own company.
One problem that Shanghai TV has to face is that every film and television project of Earthling Studio is of heavyweight importance.
Once an actor's schedule conflicts with the promotion period of a TV series, the actor will most likely choose to give up the promotion of the TV series and focus on the ongoing work.
The leaders of Shanghai Satellite TV were also worried: "What projects will Earthman Studio have next year? Can we find out?"
Wang Xiuying nodded, then shook her head: "I asked General Manager Yang directly, and she said that their studio will be very busy next year and will probably be carrying out several projects at the same time. But I can't get the specific details."
"Then we can only squeeze it in until the end of the year. Try to coordinate with other crews and make room for this drama. At worst, our own show can give way to this drama."
Wang Xiuying knew that this was the only way: "Understood."
…
Earthling Studio is indeed very busy, busy from top to bottom.
Lin Fan was preparing for three movies and an album, Liang Wen was preparing for a movie and a TV series, and there were two movies in post-production. When these big projects came down, the whole studio was wailing.
"Boss Yang, this is too much work! We can't handle it even if we work hard!"
"Yes, Mr. Yang, our animation studio has two movies in post-production! One of them is an animated film. You know, animation films cannot be short of people for even a minute!"
"Boss Yang, have you forgotten that we still have our own variety show to do?"
…
Yang Hongxia was annoyed by the quarrels of the heads of various departments: "Okay, stop crying. There were originally three movies in the work plan for next year. Now there is only one more movie, one TV series, and one album!
The album is basically finished, and only the final promotion work is left. The movie is the last one in Lin Fan's "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy. The crew is the same, and the other preparations are also the same. I believe this will not be difficult for everyone."
The only troublesome thing was the TV series that Liang Wen took the initiative to ask to be filmed.
Because it was a group drama, it needed to be open to the public to compete for the actors' roles. For Earthling Studio, competing for roles was indeed a troublesome and time-consuming task.
If we could handle all the roles in this play internally, we could save at least one-third of the preparation time.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6-9!
This is also one of the reasons why Earthling Studio doesn't like to shoot group portraits.
But these are real problems, and Yang Hongxia cannot completely ignore them: "Originally, there are only two important tasks in the second half of this year. One is the release of Lin Fan's "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the other is the post-production and release date of Zhou Xiang's movie.
That is to say, after these two things are over, everyone will have about two to three months of free time. Originally, I had arranged a vacation abroad for everyone, but now it may have to be delayed. ”
"Ah——!" The friends were all devastated by the sad news.
We agreed to go on vacation abroad, but we just flew away like that. Who can stand this?
Yang Hongxia was helpless: "Don't cry, it's just a postponement, not a cancellation of this benefit. When I finish all the work next year, I will give you a holiday!"
None of the friends believed it: "Boss Yang, you've said this several times, but when have you ever fulfilled your promise?"
Isn't it that every time you just take a break, a lot of work comes right after, forcing everyone to do the work of several people? And those who have already taken a break can't escape, because when they come back from vacation, there is still a lot of work waiting for them!
Yang Hongxia was a little speechless: "Well, although I can't honor the holidays, I have honored the double and triple overtime pay and bonuses! During the Chinese New Year and other festivals, all kinds of red envelopes and benefits, as well as the red envelopes for the celebration banquet, when have you ever taken less?"
My friends felt the same way: If we didn’t get paid so much, we would have quit long ago, right?
