Chapter 585: Clear Stream in the Dye Vat

The day after the filming of "The Disguiser" was completed, the post-production editing work was immediately seamlessly carried out.

In fact, while filming, Liu Wei had already led the post-production team to work on editing simultaneously, but it was basically just rough directional editing, which still required some "fine-tuning".

Compared with the traditional method of shooting first and editing later, the production schedule of this process will be greatly compressed. According to Liu Wei's own estimation, as long as the OST part is in place in time, the final film is expected to be produced in one month.

This time, the OST of "The Pretender" was written by someone Liu Wei himself... Seeing that Zhou Hao was so busy that he had almost no time to spare, he was embarrassed to ask Zhou Hao to write a song for him again.

It’s just writing an OST for a film or TV series. You can find some good candidates if you look around.

The quality of the two songs collected so far is quite good... I won’t say they are excellent, but at least they won’t drag down the TV series.

After receiving the news that "The Disguiser" was completed, the major satellite stations became a little restless.

Although the previous "The Undocumented Crime" was a terrible flop and the reasons for the failure were vague and tight-lipped, as an insider, I know what happened.

The reason why "The Undocumented Crime" failed actually has little to do with Liu Wei. If Penguin hadn't interfered with the production of the series, it wouldn't have turned out like that.

So even though the outside world has begun to question the golden duo of "Zhou Hao + Liu Wei", people in the industry are still very optimistic about this pair, and everyone is naturally eyeing the upcoming "The Disguiser".

The film purchasing departments of major TV stations rushed to send representatives to discuss cooperation. Jinghong Studio and Youying Platform worked together. Zhang Hong's phone has hardly been on hold these days. She can't get enough calls...

According to the information reported by Zhang Hong, the purchase price of a single episode of "The Disguiser" is approaching 10 million, and "The Disguiser" is expected to have more than 40 episodes. The cumulative calculation is definitely a huge sum of money!
This is a huge expense for any station.

Faced with such outrageous high-priced purchases, Zhou Hao felt it was a bit abnormal in his heart, but this was the market's choice and he couldn't say much.

After the editing team worked overtime for three days, they finally edited the materials for the first two episodes. Except for the lack of OST and background music, the rest is basically complete.

Youying immediately organized a trial screening and called in the purchasing managers of several satellite stations participating in the competition.

Everyone should check the goods first, and then make an offer to compete!

At that time, almost all the purchasing departments of China's first-tier satellite TV stations heard the news and gathered in the multimedia center building of Youying Video...

The preview session wasn’t long, just two hours.

As for the specific viewing experience, everyone tacitly chose to keep silent, but the fact that each company raised its bid price on the spot was enough to explain the problem.

If it’s not a good product, who would bid higher for it?
When the news reached Penguin Video, the entire online drama department couldn't help but sigh.

This money was originally earned by us penguins!

In just over a year, Zhou Hao was forced to leave, and then Shanhai Film and Television was turned into a mess. Even Liu Wei was forced to change jobs and leave...

It’s chaos, it’s all chaos!

Instead, it was a free benefit for those idiots at Youying, who just opened their mouths and caught the big pie that fell from the sky... From now on, who will dare to say that they are the stepping stone for the online drama market?

If Youying can focus on its development for two years, it’s hard to say who will be the leader in streaming media in the future!

Zhou Hao...

With his own strength, he was able to shake up the entire streaming industry...

Monster!
…………

"A-choo!" Zhou Hao rubbed his nose and continued to work on his script.

The crew for the tribute film has almost been finalized, and it's time for his script to be shown.

These days, apart from eating, sleeping and writing novels, he spent all his time revising the script.

Xu Lingyue has been flying around the world recently, promoting her new songs and participating in interviews with various radio stations, even saving time for paying her taxes.

Although it is based on works on Earth, there are some subtle differences in the historical background, so it must be carefully modified to ensure that there are no mistakes.

This is not an ordinary work. There is no room for even the slightest mistake on this issue. One wrong move will lead to a complete failure... You can say goodbye to the main theme from now on.

After revising several versions in a row, he called Zhang Mo over and asked him to help him learn more.

After Zhang Mo read it carefully, his expression became a little twisted.

Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat. "Just say it if you have something to say. It's okay."

"Well... I'm not saying it's bad." Zhang Mo frowned and said, "I just think it's a bit mediocre. There's nothing particularly outstanding about it. If I really shoot it, it might lack some highlights."

Zhou Hao was stunned for a moment, "Explosion point?"

"It's the conflict point of the plot." Zhang Mo explained: "This script, whether it's the plot direction or the narrative technique, is a bit too conventional... To put it bluntly, it's a bit mediocre."

Zhou Hao frowned and shook his head, "Old Zhang, not every subject is suitable for deliberately creating conflicts and explosive points."

Zhang Mo originally wanted to refute, but then he changed his mind and thought... Isn't "Those Years" just a plain movie?

Zhou Hao is indeed qualified to say that the film was able to achieve both box office success and good reputation without any deliberate showmanship or fabricated conflicts.

"Lao Zhang, this is not a purely commercial film. You can't think in that way." Zhou Hao sighed, "Behind your so-called blandness and mediocrity is the chapter of the Republic written by our ancestors with blood and sweat. What they did is great enough. There is no need to embellish it."

"It's enough to be able to bring their stories to the screen in an easy-to-understand way."

"After all, this movie... is not for those literary judges. It is aimed at the simple people."

Zhang Mo was stunned for a long time, and suddenly laughed at himself, "I am obsessed... Your state of mind is indeed a clear stream in this big dye vat of ours."

This is not a compliment, it's the truth.

When the entire circle is pursuing eye-catching and quick success, creators like Zhou Hao who are willing to return to the basics and work hard to create content are as rare as a three-legged toad.

It's ridiculous that there are still people who think that his success is due to some kind of "luck", saying that "when there are no heroes, the young ones become famous"...

With his attitude towards creating content, coupled with his unique talent, if not him, who will succeed?

This thigh must be held tightly!

After clarifying his thoughts again, Zhang Mo began to play the role of military strategist.

"I think this paragraph can be handled in a different way..."
