Chapter 351 TV drama project
Mango TV and the Chinese website have contracted the copyrights of four martial arts works for film and television adaptations at once. It seems that they want to monopolize Li Changle's martial arts works. I have to say that Mango TV has an outrageous appetite and a ridiculous amount of money.
This shows that Mango TV is determined to make its own film and television series. Although this cooperation with the Chinese website is not completely self-made, everything is difficult at the beginning. It is important to choose a good starting point. Ji Zizhang believes that adapting Li Changle's martial arts works is a very good start.
Good starting point.
Mango TV’s buyout fee for this copyright alone was enough to make the net profit of the Chinese website for the first half of last year. This wave of Chinese websites has made a lot of money, and Li Changle has also made a lot of money.
The news that Mango TV and the Chinese website have bought out the copyrights for the She Withering Trilogy and The Legend of Dragons has quickly spread on the Internet. I can only say that this is very Mango TV. If it is not hyped up, it will not be the style of Mango TV.
Mango TV was not as secretive as usual this time. After releasing the news, it generously admitted the matter through official channels, and the popularity on the Internet reached its highest point in an instant.
In fact, Mango TV's reputation online is not very good. Although its ratings have always been good, its reputation has been declining because the dramas introduced in recent years have been too shocking.
That's why Mango TV decided to set up a film and television department. Since the imported TV series are not good, then they will do it themselves. But obviously, netizens online are not so optimistic about this cooperation.
"Damn it, didn't the Chinese website always cooperate with Penguin TV before? Why did it switch to Mango TV this time? I don't understand."
"Is Mango TV serious? It's the same Mango TV channel that only shows Mary Sue TV series, as well as the Overbearing and Always Falling in Love With Me TV series, as well as the youth pain literature TV series?"
"Haha, Mango TV, the dogs shook their heads after watching it."
"I just ask Mango TV to take this copyright seriously and please don't make martial arts into a romantic TV series, otherwise I will really thank you."
"What the hell is the Chinese website doing? The Sword and Sword series produced by Penguin Films is very interesting. Why haven't we continued to cooperate?"
........
Although the Internet is generally not optimistic about Mango TV taking over the copyright adaptation of these novels, Ji Zizhang and others no longer have time to care about these remarks. Yu Qiuqin and Ji Zizhang are both people who do what they say, and they are seeking Li Changle's opinion.
After that, the two parties started to establish the project without any delay.
A few days later, the project of "Dragon Movie" was established. It was Li Changle's suggestion to Ji Zizhang to adapt and remake "Dragon Movie" first.
The main reason is that compared to the She Withering Trilogy, the plot of The Demi-Gods is more compact. The tension in the plot is almost from the beginning to the end. The effect presented in the TV series will be better than the slow-burning She Withering.
a lot of.
The director of the TV series "Tianlong Babu" is still in charge of Guo Zongming. There are no surprises. Ji Zi Zhanghe and Li Changle thought of this together.
Ji Zizhang knew Guo Zongming. Before last year, this person was unable to get along in the TV drama circle because he was too upright.
A lot of capital is not very interested in him. I can't say much about talented directors, but he is definitely not the only one. Others are more eye-catching than him, that is, he has met bosses like Li Changle and Chinese Network. Otherwise, Guo Zongming is afraid that he can only
I will spend the rest of my life idle at home.
However, apart from Guo Zongming having a bad temper and being straightforward, as a director, his level is undoubtedly excellent, so there is no problem in choosing him.
Li Changle is relatively simple, simply because he is used to partnering with Guo Zongming, and he doesn't know whether his temper will be to his liking if he changes to someone else. What kind of person he is, Guo Zongming is at least a close friend in Li Changle's eyes.
When Guo Zongming heard that Li Changle said that Mango TV invited him to film a TV series, Guo Zongming's first reaction was to refuse. Not only did Mango TV have a bad reputation among the public, it was also obviously not very good among the director circle.
After Guo Zongming finished filming Legend of Sword and Fairy, he has been idle at home. Obviously, he didn't pay much attention to the news on the Internet. He obviously didn't know that Mango TV contracted the copyright of Li Changle's four martial arts novels.
After Li Changle spent a few minutes explaining the whole story clearly, Guo Zongming suddenly came to his senses. Seeing Guo Zongming's slight hesitation, Li Changle still spoke to persuade him.
"Director Guo, don't worry. Although Mango TV has many shortcomings and may not have a good reputation, they will not interfere too much in the work of the crew of you as the director, unlike when you were filming Fairy Sword.
It’s pretty much the same.”
Li Changle could see Guo Zongming's concerns. Mango TV is famous for praising artists. Guo Zongming is a director who requires absolute control over the crew. If he chooses to work under them, he will inevitably end up in such a bad situation.
I was worried, so I have been hesitant. After all, this is not the first time Guo Zongming has encountered this kind of thing.
Guo Zongming just hesitated for a moment and finally agreed to the matter. Apart from anything else, Guo Zongming felt that he could trust Li Changle.
Guo Zongming said with some emotion: "Hey, I really don't want to deal with Mango TV, but they bought out the copyrights of several martial arts works that I have been thinking about. Since you can say that, Changle, I choose to believe it.
Let them come back."
Li Changle was very happy that Guo Zongming could agree to this matter. Ji Zizhang originally approached Guo Zongming directly about this matter, but Li Changle was familiar with Guo Zongming's temper. If Ji Zizhang came to the door first, Guo Zongming might not really agree, even if
Even if the script is from Tian Long Ba Bu.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to talk to Guo Zongming first, and everything ended up being satisfactory. Li Changle said in a relaxed tone: "Then it's decided, Director Guo. Ji Zizhang should come to you by then, and you two will contact each other.
It would be such a pity if Director Guo missed such a classic work as The Legend of Tian Long Ba Bu."
After hearing Li Changle's words, Guo Zongming burst out laughing, "You are quite confident, although I think so too. The Demi-Gods and the Eight Parts are indeed classics, but don't be happy so early. I also have conditions."
."
Li Changle was surprised. Guo Zongming rarely made requests to him. He didn't know what Guo Zongming was trying to do. He immediately said, "It doesn't matter if Director Guo says so."
"In the past, you were responsible for the Sword and Sword series, whether it was the soundtrack or the original soundtrack for the film and television series. Isn't it reasonable that Tian Long Ba Bu should have this treatment?"
"That's very reasonable." Li Changle nodded without hesitation. Guo Zongming didn't need to tell him that he would do this.
"Secondly, I know you have a good head. I believe that whether it's The Eight Parts of Demi-Gods or the Trilogy of She Withered, they have probably been circulated in your mind thousands of times. I want you to mention the casting.
There should be no problem if you have some opinions, right?"
When Li Changle heard this, he immediately knew what Guo Zongming meant, and immediately said with a smile: "Don't worry, Director Guo, these are not problems. I just said, we filmed the Tian Long Ba Parts in the same way as you did the Fairy Sword series at Penguin Film and Television.
There is no difference at any time.”
After receiving Li Changle's guarantee, Guo Zongming was satisfied and agreed. After learning that Guo Zongming was willing to take charge of the director's affairs, Ji Zizhang went straight to Guo Zongming's residence without any hesitation. He looked very happy.
urgent.
Ji Zizhang, as the newly appointed director of the film and television department, made quite a stir when he first came to power. He spent a huge sum of money to buy out the copyrights for the She Withered Trilogy and The Eight Parts of Demi-Gods. In other words, the director was his uncle, otherwise this
How can I pass the approval?
But even so, Ji Zizhang was obviously under a lot of pressure. After spending so much money, he would inevitably be criticized.
If the TV series "Tian Long Ba Bu" has no success, then his role as the director of the film and television department should be over. It is probably hard to say whether he will be able to film variety shows on Mango TV and become a director.
However, Ji Zizhang is quite confident in Tian Long Ba Bu, or he is confident in Li Changle and Guo Zongming. The Fairy Sword series is indeed very popular. Ji Zizhang is betting. After all, they have the same original author and director. Ji Zizhang believes that Tian Long Ba Bu will not be as good as Fairy Sword.
The series is worse.
Ji Zizhang moved very quickly. After Li Changle had negotiated with Guo Zongming, he set off to find Guo Zongming and signed the contract on the same day.
First of all, this salary is obviously higher than that of Penguin Film and Television, and Ji Zizhang almost agreed to all of Guo Zongming's requests, and his sincerity was quite sufficient. Guo Zongming had to say that he had been moved by Ji Zizhang's sincerity.
"Now everything is finally ready, all I need is Dongfeng. Although I have spent a lot of money, I believe that Tian Long Ba Bu will be a phenomenal TV series next year." Ji Zizhang was swearing to his uncle, the director of the TV station.
Ji Ming, who was sitting on the desk and wearing reading glasses, was handling official duties. He didn't raise his head after listening to Ji Zizhang's words, and was still looking at the documents on the desktop.
After a long time, he slowly said: "You can decide these things. You have always had a good vision. I hope you can achieve results next year."
"Okay, uncle." Ji Zizhang quickly agreed.
Ji Ming put down the document in his hand, raised his head and said seriously: "How many times have I told you to call the director inside the stage."
Ji Zizhang quickly changed his words and said, "Okay, I understand, Director."
Ji Ming nodded with satisfaction, then seemed to remember something, and continued: "I heard that the reputation of our Mango TV is not very good in the eyes of the public. This is why I can strive to help you win such a good reputation."
Because of the extra funds, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
Ji Zizhang was quite respectful in front of his uncle and said quickly: "Uncle, don't worry, I will handle this matter beautifully for you. I will never embarrass you and try to bring you glory!"
Ji Ming glanced at Ji Zizhang again and didn't bother to worry about whether his uncle or the director was the director. He continued: "I took a look at the recent online comments. Many netizens seem to be very prejudiced against our Mango TV. This situation is very unfair.
Okay, although word of mouth cannot be changed immediately, you have to make everyone change their prejudice against our Mango TV a little bit."
Ji Zizhang has been so busy these days that he obviously doesn't know much about this matter. After hearing what Ji Ming said, he quickly took out his mobile phone and took a few glances. Most of them were comments on Mango TV's remake of Li Changle's Martial Arts.
The work is infinitely disappointing.
Ji Zizhang thought for a while, and then said confidently: "Uncle, don't worry, leave this matter to me, the reputation will be reversed soon, and I guarantee that by next year, our Mango Channel will have the best reputation in the industry
Satellite TV!”
Ji Ming didn't take Ji Zizhang's bragging assurance seriously. He just glanced at Ji Zizhang and said seriously: "I want to see the effect, don't tell me that there is no such thing, that is, no one is here, and there is someone here."
If you say something like this here, if others take it seriously and you fail to do it, you will get the consequences."
Ji Zizhang shuddered. To be honest, he was indeed bragging just now. Seeing Ji Ming talking to him so seriously, he suddenly panicked. After calming down, he said humbly: "Okay.
I understand, uncle."
After Ji Zizhang came out of Ji Ming's office, he called for his assistant and said: "Arrange something to reveal the news that the production team of Tian Long Ba Bu is the original team of the Sword and Fairy series, and then hype it up. The other thing is to
The comments on the Internet that have a negative impact on our Mango TV station should be tempered a little bit."
Although Ji Zizhang said that he likes to brag in front of Ji Ming, his work ability is also real. Especially for this kind of hype work, Ji Zizhang is very familiar with the job.
The assistants under me are very capable in execution. Within half a day, the news that the team of Li Changle and Guo Zongming would continue to manage Tianlong Babu was on the hot search, once again arousing heated discussions among many netizens, and many people expressed that the misunderstanding had been resolved.
, after all, after Li Changle and Guo Zongming produced high-quality TV series like Fairy Sword, their reputation is still quite good.
Ji Zizhang handled this matter quite beautifully. Sure enough, as soon as the news was released, and then some trolls were found to set the pace, few people at Mango TV were struggling with the rhythm.
Fang Lintao looked at these trending news with a sad face, and couldn't help but sigh over and over again in his heart. Penguin Film and Television missed the opportunity to take off again.
Originally, several of Li Changle's works were supposed to be handled by Penguin Film and Television. However, due to a wrong decision made by the top management of Penguin Film and Television, the friendship that had finally been connected between Penguin Film and Television and the Chinese website was directly severed.
The leadership of the Chinese website is obviously decisive, and they chose to cooperate with Mango TV, and Mango TV is acting vigorously and resolutely.
Chapter completed!
