Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

The radio and television industry in China has a history of more than a hundred years, so the viewing habits of terrestrial TV networks have basically been determined, and the broadcasting time of TV dramas is also fixed after the early morning time period, daytime time, evening time, prime time and late night time period.

Among them, the daytime period mainly broadcasts morning dramas. Since the audience at this time period is either housewives or elderly women, most of the programs are family ethics dramas such as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, and Zhenggong fights against the mistress.The evening time slot is mainly used to rebroadcast the prime-time episodes of the previous day. Only after the local news at seven o'clock is over, there will be a half-hour "Japanese drama".Japanese and Japanese dramas belong to family-themed comedies. After all, this is the time for the whole family to eat, and TV stations will not broadcast TV dramas that are shocking.

The prime time is the arena for the flagship dramas and main dramas of each channel. Not only the style is different every day, but even the time period has a different style.For example, on Mondays and Tuesdays, because young people are busy with work and school, family dramas, sitcoms, and martial arts dramas are more popular at this time; while Wednesdays and Thursdays are more in line with sensory stimulation because they have finished their busy work and young people have time to watch TV. Crime dramas, medical dramas, and fantasy dramas became popular; as Friday is the time for young people or families to go out for gatherings, so some less popular sci-fi dramas will be broadcast on Fridays.

At the same time, the eight o'clock file is usually handed over to popular idols or newcomers in film and television dramas, and the broadcast cycle is generally three months; while the nine o'clock file is played by drama stars, and the general broadcast cycle is six months; If the ten o'clock file does not broadcast the reality show but continues to broadcast TV series, then the content scale of the ten o'clock episode will be too large.Of course, late-night dramas are the largest, and late-night dramas will also broadcast some experimental or pioneering artistic TV dramas.

As for the programs on Saturday and Sunday, most of them are variety shows, sports programs or special news programs. The only exception is that PTV will launch their historical serial theater on Saturday and Sunday, and broadcast two episodes in a two-hour format every day.Moreover, the historical dramas produced by PTV not only have very sophisticated plots, but also have exquisite costumes and scenes, so the ratings of historical dramas produced by PTV are quite high.Fortunately, PTV only invests in two historical dramas every year, which can be broadcast for about nine months.

The reason why PTV invests so much regardless of ratings is because the owner of PTV, the Huaxia Public Broadcasting Foundation, not only receives government funding, but also has income from "TV license fees" every year.According to the regulations, each TV set in Huaxia Kingdom has to pay a fixed TV license fee every month from the date of purchase.It is by relying on this income that the foundation can operate the three broadcasting and television companies, the Public Broadcasting Network, the Public Television Network, and China Radio International. The network has two sets of terrestrial programs, the PTV Integrated Channel and the PTS Educational Channel, and two sets of satellite programs, the PTS News Channel and the PTS Pay Channel.

Compared with PTV, the other four commercial TV networks have struggled a lot.Although they have the largest number of users, the number of core users in the city is not much higher than that of cable and satellite stations; secondly, compared with cable and satellite stations, TV networks have a lot of broadcasting standards, only at nine o'clock in the evening At [-] o'clock in the morning the next day, it could barely catch up with half of the size of the cable station; finally, according to the management regulations of the Huaxia National Communications Commission, the time period of the TV network's simulcast program should not exceed four hours, and at the same time, each franchised station must broadcast it for at least one hour. local news program.Fortunately, the TV network is allowed to broadcast commercial advertisements, otherwise the commercial TV network would have gone to the northwest wind long ago.

But even so, commercial TV networks are still not as bold as public TV networks.Don't look at public television networks that are not allowed to broadcast advertisements according to regulations, but they specialize in accepting election advertisements.This thing burns more money than ordinary commercial advertisements, not to mention the fixed income such as TV license fees, which is why public television networks can afford such big themes as historical dramas.

Now Ji Ziming told Li Wei that their Pacific Media Group plans to produce a big production to make a big splash.In fact, Li Wei does not doubt the strength of the Pacific Media Group. After all, among its three major cable TV networks, only the Kaleidoscope TV network is profitable. Internationally, it is still burning money; as for Sean Max, it is a big money burner!

Its eight channels are all movie channels. Except for self-made TV movies and movie-related programs, the rest of the time are all movies!The flagship channel mainly broadcasts blockbusters, first-run films, and popular films. Basically, it only takes a week after the movie theaters are released, and the flagship channel can watch them!Then the five-star channel broadcasts all award-winning and classic movies; the action channel is all action movies; the thriller channel is thrillers, horror films and suspense films; Cantonese films; literary and independent films on Wenyi Channel; idol films, romance films and mystery films on Women's Channel.

Although these eight channels are all independently paid cable channels, according to regulations, paid channels cannot have commercial advertisements.Therefore, these eight channels still need group blood transfusion, but fortunately, some costs have been recovered through self-made dramas and self-made TV movies.Now that he plans to enter the field of traditional TV dramas, Li Wei really doubts whether they have the strength to only make mini-series and TV movies.

"Mr. Ji, I feel very honored that you can invite me to participate in the production of TV dramas. But there are some things I have to say first. After all, friendship is friendship, and business is business." Li Wei said lightly, "My The goal is the music and film circles, and the TV and fashion circles are just stepping stones. I hope you can understand. Therefore, I will be very strict in selecting TV drama scripts. If there is no drama that makes me feel bright, I will not accept it. In addition, I also have some personal shortcomings that I must inform you in advance. For example, I have never played the leading role, so I am insufficient in leading and controlling the scene. In addition, I have played too many roles in the past, such as I don't object to making more attempts at character creation for roles like 'Jin' and 'Mian Shou', but it seems that I have gone too far. I hope to take on some mainstream roles. If these two points are okay, That's OK."

"Don't worry, this is a mainstream TV series. After all, it will be broadcast at eight o'clock." Ji Ziming smiled, "I can give you the outline of the script tomorrow, but the detailed script can only be obtained after you pass the interview and sign the non-disclosure agreement." Yes. In addition, this drama is aired in the form of 'on file', so it is basically filming and broadcasting at the same time, so it will be a bit hard to shoot. Of course, we will advance to the team first, and shoot one third first. Later, we will fine-tune it according to the taste of the audience.”

"The series won't be made into hundreds of episodes like morning dramas, right?" Li Wei knows that this kind of "ON drama" is very hard work.

The most representative is the "Taiwanese local drama" on the earth plane, which is basically filmed today and broadcast tomorrow.Due to the high ratings of this kind of drama, there may only be [-] or [-] episodes of local dramas in Taiwan when they enter the studio, but in the end it turns into [-] or [-] episodes!The protagonist can hardly leave the studio, and sleeps on a recliner when tired. It is a godsend to let you go home and sleep for a few days a month.Therefore, many local drama actors have more or less suffered from liver disease due to such shooting intensity, and some actors who can't survive will even ask the screenwriter to write down their roles in the form of gifts and begging.Li Wei didn't want to get involved in this kind of shooting.

"Don't worry, I've read the script, which means fifty episodes. The producer has no plans to make an SP (special episode)."

Of course Ji Ziming knows how "cheating" morning dramas are.That's why a small group of so-called "morning drama exclusive actors" was born in the actor world. They specialize in morning dramas and do not shoot other TV dramas.This also caused the audience to complain, and there were only a few actors in the morning drama.As a result, this person was the vicious mistress last time, but this time he became the main palace of misery.Idols and drama stars are not sensitive to morning dramas, and Ji Ziming will not use this to trick Li Wei.

Li Wei was still surprised when he heard the volume of 50 episodes.But since it's an ON movie, then the filming must be finished in two months.If it was filmed in the near future, then it happened to be possible to participate in the filming of "Extreme Speed" after the filming of this episode ended.

So Li Wei replied: "I will give Mr. Ji an answer after reading the script and the shooting schedule."

After chatting with Ji Ziming, Li Wei returned to the company and ran into Su Li who came back from the training center.Su Li handed over a stack of materials to Li Wei, "This is the candidate for the two groups of 'Miracle Girl' and 'Girl of the Times'. I have talked with them and explained the company's expectations for them. They all expressed their understanding. Then, the stage name and the division of roles are up to you! After all, the three names of EVA are really good, and you give the name is also a kind of company value."

Li Wei took the stack of materials, and then conveyed Ji Ziming's words to Su Li.

Su Li frowned and said, "Well, although I seem to push you into the film circle now, you can only make independent films that no one sees, or you will be a small supporting role in second- and third-tier commercial films. How about cooperating with a TV station and filming one or two masterpieces so that people can see your popularity and acting skills. I will try to arrange your schedule for you, and remember to take your nanny car. This kind of The ON scene basically has to eat and live there for four or five days, so it’s great to be able to take time out to shoot a commercial.”

After Li Wei said goodbye to Su Li, he went into his office with the documents.At this time, my mobile phone reminded me that I had received an email in my external work mailbox.Li Wei went back to the computer, opened it and saw that it was indeed the script outline sent by Ji Ziming.It seems that Pacific Media Group is still very sincere in cooperating with him, so Li Wei clicked on the script outline.The whole drama is a fashion drama, which combines family grievances and business war elements. Of course, love and hatred cannot escape.

The play is called "Battle of the Century", and it is characterized as a new "Taiwan celebration drama" for the Southern Television Network.The main plot of the story is the support, breakup, and even the death fight between Luo Rongjia and Ye Jinwen, a pair of friends.Luo Rongjia came from a wealthy family, but his family fell into ruin because his father was deceived by his relatives; Ye Jinwen was born as an illegitimate child, but was forced to recognize his ancestors in middle school because his wealthy father could not give birth to a son.The two were good friends in middle school, but later Luo Rongjia could only go to work on the construction site because of lack of money, while Ye Jinwen became an architectural designer after finishing university.By chance, the two met again and formed a construction company with a dream in mind.But because of the later circumstances, the two broke up, and finally became mortal enemies...

It is reported that when the script was reviewed by Nanguang's high-level executives, everyone praised the play unanimously.
