Text Chapter 74 Everyone is happy

On the second day of the exhibition of the works of graduate students of the Suncheon Film Academy, the 360-minute edited version of "The Legend of the New White Snake", directed by Li Qian, was broadcast. Ω Because this "special cut version" is six hours long, it has to be divided into three hours in the morning and three hours in the afternoon.

In the past half a year, this TV series has become popular all over Asia. Even if it is broadcast in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other countries, it has achieved hegemony-level ratings at the same time, so much so After the TV series was broadcast, Zhu Qiang and Bai Yujing were even hailed as the top superstars in Asia by many foreign media even though it was just a TV series!

With a strong popularity base, Zhu Qiang, especially Bai Yujing, has even begun to receive frequent invitations from advertisers from Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and other countries recently, and there have been seven invitations for film appointments. There are as many as eight, and these invitations are all movies!

And just in April not long ago, this TV series was even sold to India, a major South Asian country, and several countries such as Egypt and South Africa in Africa. The United States has even sent people over to negotiate the rights to broadcast. The affected Asian and Southeast Asian regions are different. These countries affected by this wave are not so optimistic about the ratings of this TV series. They came to buy the broadcasting rights, just out of a new mentality and want to dig Look at the ratings of some viewers with a strong curiosity, so the price they can give is purely the price of cabbage.

But anyway, after all, this TV series is justifiably sold all over the world. This is a force, but there are not many domestic TV dramas in the history. It can be said that it can sell so many national copyrights before, and has obtained the slightest. There is only one "Journey to the West" that is not inferior to the performance of this TV series. The story of Sun Dasheng, in East Asia and Southeast Asia, was a mess at the beginning, and it was also regarded as a fine product of oriental culture. It was bought by some Western TV stations and film dealers and broadcast to some curious audiences.

That is to say, simply discussing its status in the history of domestic TV dramas, this TV series is enough to keep pace with "Journey to the West"!

Of course, it is currently the hottest time in East Asia and Southeast Asia, but in China, the popularity has subsided a lot after all, and even for many viewers, when they watch it with relish, they revisit it with great interest. I watched it once, and then I habitually didn't know which episode to start with. After three brushes were completed before I knew it, when they turned on the TV, many TV stations were still playing it. Change the channel, it's it, and then change it. Taiwan, it's it again... It's starting to get a little tired from the heart, even tired.

Therefore, to say how much enthusiasm everyone has for this finely edited version of "The Legend of the New White Snake", it is actually impossible to talk about it at all. In addition, the boxy pictures of TV dramas are put on the wide screen. It will make people feel a little awkward subconsciously, so when the broadcast starts in the morning, the people who come here seem to be a little sparse.

On the contrary, Li Qian himself sat in his seat honestly, earnestly reading the edited version completed by several brothers and sisters from beginning to end.

While watching, I pondered in my mind the reason why the other party would edit this way, and wondered why the other party would screen this thirty-nine-hour story like this.

At the same time, he subconsciously took this version again and compared it with the incomparably classic version in his mind. In his opinion, his painstaking efforts were not in vain. If this version is purely about the quality of shooting, it is not inferior. The version in my mind.

That's it.

Just don't spoil and waste it yourself.

When half of the film was put down in the afternoon, the large screening room was suddenly crowded with people. Because it was announced in advance, Bai Yujing, who was in Shuntian Prefecture, would show up.

Bai Yujing really came, and the welcome she received was far more enthusiastic than those of the leaders and senior brothers.

Sitting side by side with Li Qian and watching the second half, Bai Yujing watched it very seriously from the beginning to the end. After reading it, she was full of emotion and bit her ear with Li Qian, "Looking back now, I did a good job." Li Qian Laugh.

It was five o'clock after the movie was over. Li Qian and Bai Yujing appeared on stage as the director and starring, but Li Qian only briefly talked about his creative experience for a few minutes, and he thanked him from the beginning to the end, more than the best director. They were both official and low-key at all times, and then they passed the microphone to Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing answered quite a few questions from everyone kindly, but she knew what to do. In this top domestic film school, not only did she not have the air of being a star, but she was also very low-key like Li Qian, and answered After some problems, the microphone was quickly let go.

The focus of this interview is on the fourteen recent graduates who were responsible for reorganizing the story line and editing, especially the leading group leader of the editing, Chao Xiaogai, a graduate student majoring in editing in 1997.

The postgraduate classes at Suncheon Film Academy do not have a fixed number of students enrolled each year. In many years, the teachers do not have suitable seedlings, and even do not enroll students at all.

In the past ten years from 1990 to 1999, only three postgraduate classes were recruited for editing, and there were only five postgraduates in total!

Therefore, from a certain point of view, Chao Xiaogai, a postgraduate majoring in editing, is much more expensive than a graduate student majoring in directing who recruits three to five people in a small class almost every other year.

As a matter of course, Chao Xiaogai and Zheng Minghui, another postgraduate majoring in editing, have been targeted by many TV stations and film and television companies not long after they entered the postgraduate class. It was already signed, Li Qian also put in a lot of effort, and even took out "The Legend of the New White Snake" to let them toss, but he still couldn't persuade even one of them, and could only helplessly watch them enter. One went to Huaxia TV, one went to another film and television company.

But even so, Li Qian still tried his best to help them win more.

When the interview was about to end, he took the microphone and suddenly announced that after negotiation, the 360-minute version of "The Legend of the New White Snake" had been ordered by two TV stations, Satellite TV and g satellite TV, and was broadcast by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television After the license, it will be taken to two TV stations to broadcast.

The 200,000 film purchase fee paid by the two of them will be donated to the Shuntian Film Academy in the name of Minghu Culture Company and the editing team with a total of 14 members, to buy a new batch of filming for the Film Academy. and clipping equipment.

In addition, Minghu Culture specially provided 140,000 yuan to subsidize the fourteen members of the editing team who participated in the editing as their personal compensation.

This news, which Li Qian had never disclosed before, suddenly broke out at this time, shocking the entire auditorium.

The leaders of the film school and the old professors are very happy, two million is enough to buy a lot of good things, but even more happy are the fourteen editing graduates and master students who participated in the editing. .

The re-cut version can still be sold, which means that their names will appear at the beginning and end of the broadcast, which can be regarded as their first official work, which must be a great surprise.

And theoretically speaking, no matter how the TV series is edited, the copyright belongs to Minghu culture, and it belongs to Li Qian. After the coordination of the school, Li Qian is willing to give them his famous work, which is already a favor. , how much it sells has nothing to do with them, and it is impossible to even get a reward. But now, the money they got after the sale was donated to the school, and they were still able to participate in the signing. Besides, there would be a salary of 10,000 yuan per person. This is really a surprise after wave after wave. There's no way to tell!

As a result, Chao Xiaogai and Zheng Minghui, who were shocked, thanked them one after another, and Dean Kong took the microphone to express the hospital's gratitude to Minghu Culture in a formal manner.

All are happy.

After participating in the screening of "The Legend of the New White Snake" for a whole day, Li Qian completely escaped, and he will not participate in the activities in the next few days.

The time is already mid-May, and according to the previous plan, because the shooting of "Meteor Garden" started ten days in advance, it should be able to end the shooting in early July, and his first film will have to rest for a while among the crew After that, filming will officially start.

But now, the members of the cast in his mind, including executive producer Huang Wenjuan, assistant director Han Shunzhang, director of photography Jin Han, etc., are still shooting "Meteor Garden".

Another assistant director candidate, Lu Lingxi, after chatting a few words that day and agreeing to have dinner together the next day, still hasn't called. Whether he will accept the invitation or not, he is still talking.

Even Sun Yuting, a production assistant who has already been decided so far~www.wuxiaspot.com~, is still busy helping the acting department to work overtime to rehearse the graduation drama at the end. In addition to her own "Deep Space" screening, she I didn't even participate in any other activities, so I couldn't count on it.

Therefore, Li Qian had no choice but to run around to survey the shooting site.

And this drama so far, not to mention the heroine aspect, even if it is assumed that He Yingyu will accept the invitation to go to Minghu Culture to audition for herself, and it is indeed qualified and can be selected, but the more important male lead, but still So far nothing has landed!

Fortunately, they were invited out, and they didn't make Li Qian wait too long.

On June 16, Li Qian was looking for a camera with a viewfinder in a small playground in the suburbs of Shuntian. Within an hour, he received calls from Lu Lingxi and He Yingyu.

The former wanted to meet with Li Qian, while the latter directly expressed his willingness to audition.
