Chapter 21: When the East is Dark, the West is Bright (Please Recommend)
After watching the first episode of "I Am Yu Huanshui", Wu Hai no longer had any worries.
Naturally, he also heard that Sun Hei fired the editor Cheng Fei, and Wu Fei was still a little worried that Sun Hei would do something reckless.
Now it seems that I worried too much.
This first episode is really pretty good.
Lin Feiyang brought the character of Yu Huanshui to life.
Even Wu Hai couldn't wait to watch the next episode.
Not only Wu Hai, but several directors of the online drama department were present in the film viewing room today, and they also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
"Mr. Wu, I think we can consider the broadcasting platform."
"Yes, I originally had similar opinions to some of the people online, but now after watching the first episode, I think this drama can't fail."
“The S-level rating is well deserved.”
…
Everyone's evaluation of "I Am Yu Huanshui" is quite high, which makes Sun Hei, Xia Qing and Yu Xiaoshu in the conference room feel a little relieved, especially Sun Hei, who is even more proud.
"Li Tong, increase the amount of resources allocated to "I Am Yu Huanshui"."
Wu Hai said to the publicity director: "Raise "I Am Yu Huanshui" to SS level."
"Okay, Mr. Wu."
Li Tong nodded quickly and said.
Wu Hai asked Sun Hei, "Director Sun, when can the remaining two episodes be edited?"
Sun Hei said: "It will definitely be edited before the end of the month."
"Okay, you guys work harder and edit all three episodes as quickly as possible. Let me know if you need any help."
Wu Hai said: "I will discuss with the broadcasting platform and determine the broadcasting platform as soon as possible."
After the meeting, Wu Hai specifically kept the Sun Hei trio.
"Old Sun, well done."
Wu Hai smiled at Sun Hei and said, "Many people have complained to me about your arbitrary behavior in the past two days. Even I was a little worried that you would make mistakes in the editing, but today's episode has shut everyone up."
Sun Hei said with a hint of pride: "Boss Wu, this drama concerns the future of all of us, how could I mess around?"
At this point, Sun Hei turned to Xia Qing and teased, "Old Xia, how is it? Is there anything else to say now?"
Xia Qing said angrily: "Okay, I was wrong. You are the best, okay? Stop showing off. You have to hurry up and edit the remaining two episodes."
"Don't worry, there won't be any problem at all."
Sun Hei said confidently: "I just said that the editing can be completed before the end of the month, but in fact, the finished film can be edited on the 20th."
"Okay, then we'll try to get it during the Lunar New Year period."
Wu Hai thought about it and said, "We should try to start broadcasting on New Year's Day. January is a good time slot."
Sun Hei and Xia Qing both showed joy on their faces, and Xia Qing said happily: "It would be great if this could be broadcast on January 1st, New Year's Day."
"Okay, Lao Xia, you will be responsible for communicating with Li Tong and finding out what promotional materials they need. You must promote "I Am Yu Huanshui" properly. Lao Sun, don't worry about anything else. Just edit the next two episodes."
After Wu Hai finished speaking, he looked towards Yu Xiaoshu and said, "Xiaoshu, are you okay with the next script?"
"No problem, I have basically made an outline and can write the detailed outline anytime."
Yu Xiaoshu said to Wu Hai.
These days, Yu Xiaoshu asked Sun Hei to be in charge of editing while he was writing the outlines for the next few episodes of "I Am Yu Huanshui".
Yu Xiaoshu was not angry at all that Sun Hei took all the credit for editing today on himself.
Not worth it.
After all, this is his first web drama after his comeback in three years. Yu Xiaoshu just wants the drama to be a success, and nothing else matters.
The fight for the right to speak requires strength.
At the same time, he also had no say in the soundtrack, theme song, and ending song of "I Am Yu Huanle".
As I recall, "I Am Yu Huanshui" is basically all about the soundtrack. Of course, I really admire Yu Xiaoshu, the composer of the theme song and interlude of this drama.
Because that was the teacher Fu Dalong whom he respected and admired the most.
Who would have thought that Teacher Fu Dalong is so multi-talented?
You need to brush 666 here.
The real success of "I Am Yu Huanshui" lies in the rhythm, the story, and the characters. The music can only play a supporting role, so let the composition department take care of Yu Xiaoshu.
He just needs to control Sun Hei firmly and not let him let himself go.
They chatted for a while in the conference room and then separated.
Yu Xiaoshu and Sun Hei returned to the editing room and began editing the second episode.
Xia Qing came to Li Tong's office. He was going to discuss the promotion with Li Tong. After all, the current public opinion on the Internet was very unfavorable to "I Am Yu Huanshui".
As for Wu Hai, after he returned to the office, he started calling people to discuss the broadcast platform of "I Am Yu Huanshui".
"Lao Wang, it's me. Our company recently filmed a new drama... yes, it's "I Am Yu Huanshui". Are you free today? Take a look first. I dare say this drama will be a hit. We definitely want to choose a release date on January 1st. What?? But Lao Wang, I hope you can watch "I Am Yu Huanshui" first and then... Well, okay."
Wu Hai said this and hung up the phone.
Kunlang video was PASSed.
This is not surprising at all.
After all, Yu Xiaoshu came from Kunlang Film and Television, so they naturally didn't trust Yu Xiaoshu. What's more, the TV series "The Return of the Heroine" invested by Kunlang Film and Television will be broadcast on January 1st.
But what happened next surprised Wu Hai a little.
The two heads of the online drama departments of Xingyao Video and Mili Video also rejected "I Am Yu Huanshui".
The two responsible persons didn't even plan to watch the film first.
Kunlang, Xingyao and Mili video websites occupy the vast majority of the market share. As for the remaining few video websites, they are either just starting out or half-dead.
Originally, according to Wu Hai's plan, he wanted to broadcast "I Am Yu Huanshui" exclusively on Mili Video. Mili Video has huge traffic and has done quite well in the online drama sector.
Huxing Film and Television had a good cooperation with MiLi Video before.
But this time, he rejected Wu Hai so straightforwardly.
Forget about watching the movie, he didn't even ask about the script.
Yu Xiaoshu and Lin Feiyang are the poison of playback rate.
These are the original words of Zhang Ming, the person in charge of online dramas at MiLi Video.
The three video websites all refused, which gave Wu Hai a headache.
It’s not that several other video websites cannot play, but the effect will be greatly reduced.
Thinking of this, Wu Hai called Zhang Ming again: "Zhang Ming, let's have lunch together at noon. Don't worry, we have been working together for so long, when have I ever forced you?"
12:20 noon, in a hotel box.
Because they had to go to work in the afternoon, Wu Hai and Zhang Ming did not drink. They simply ordered a few dishes. After they finished eating, Wu Hai hadn't spoken yet, but Zhang Ming took the lead and said, "Boss Wu, if it were any other time, I would help you with the food, but this time I really can't do anything."
Wu Hai was stunned: "Oh?"
Zhang Ming smiled bitterly and said, "I can only say this much. I hope we can have another chance to cooperate in the future, but this time... it really can't work."
Having said that, what else could Wu Hai say? He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We can definitely continue to cooperate."
On the way back, Wu Hai looked a little solemn.
Zhang Ming's words have hidden meaning.
Could it be that the company is forcing him not to buy "I Am Yu Huanshui"? ?
This made Wu Hai a little confused.
After he returned to the company, the front desk greeted him hurriedly: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Ding, the person in charge of Xiaoma Video, is waiting for you, but he didn't have an appointment, so I didn't let him go up."
"Where??"
Wu Hai asked.
The receptionist said, "He's still in the lounge over there."
"Let him come up."
Wu Hai thought for a moment and said.
Ten minutes later, in Wu Hai's office, Ding Yi, the person in charge of Xiaoma Video, said to Wu Hai politely: "Hello, Mr. Wu, I came here to ask you about the online drama "I Am Yu Huanshui" and whether you can consider our Xiaoma Video?"
Wu Hai smiled and said, "Although your Xiaoma Video has been developing well in the past two years, you have always been cooperating deeply with major TV stations. Why did you come to us this time?"
"Mr. Wu, we lack works, and we are not as wealthy as the Big Three. We cannot compete with them, so we can only develop film and television resources ourselves. At the same time, we want to enter into a deep cooperation with Tiger Star Films."
Ding Yi said to Wu Hai sincerely: "After all, you don't want to be strangled by the Big Three all the time, right? Although our Xiaoma Video traffic is not as good as the Big Three, we will give all the top resources to "I Am Yu Huanshui", and if "I Am Yu Huanshui" is really good, we are also willing to buy it at a high price."
If the east is dark, the west will be bright.
If it weren't for the rejection from the three major parties, Wu Hai would not have considered Xiaoma Video at all.
Because in his opinion, if "I Am Yu Huanshui" is broadcast on the three major channels, the effect will reach its peak, but if it is broadcast on Xiaoma Video, it is equivalent to the gap between CCTV and the fourth-tier satellite TV stations.
Thinking about what Zhang Ming just said, Wu Hai said, "Okay, sure. Then let me see the potential of your Xiaoma Video through this drama. As for in-depth cooperation, let's wait until this drama is finished."
"Okay, no problem."
Ding Yi was very happy.
After so many rejections, he finally got attention at Tiger Star Films.
Unexpected.
Because Ding Yi had no hope in the first place.
The next step is to discuss some details. At the same time, the broadcast date is of course chosen to be January 1st.
While Tiger Star Films and Pony Video were discussing the signing, on the other side, "The Return of the Swordswoman" released a promotional video.
"Thank you for visiting the set and making a friendly guest appearance. You can guess what role Mu Xia Nu plays in the play."
This is a short video of Mu Lefeng visiting the set of "The Return of the Swordswoman" and making a friendly guest appearance.
At the same time, Mu Lefeng's fans forwarded, controlled comments, and liked the posts.
For a time, the hot searches were quite lively.
