Huang Xizhao took the CCTV team to the studio, prop room and other places to go around and explained to them: Hong Kong TV series production is different from other places.When producing TV series in Taiwan, the director often takes them at one time. After the entire TV series is produced, it is then taken to the TV station to play.Because Taiwan’s TV stations are all party-run, even if the ratings are not good, they can still receive financial subsidies.

An old man in his fifties in the inspection team said: Last year, Lao Wang filmed the film "Eighteen Years of the Enemy Camp", and it was only broadcast after all the films were finished.

Huang Xizhao said: The production of TV series in Hong Kong is different. Our TV stations are all private and must bear their own profits and losses, so commercialization operations are very heavy.Like the United States, most Hong Kong TV series are filmed and broadcast at the same time. If the audience likes it, they can make the TV series longer. If the ratings are too low, they will consider reducing the series, and even increase and reduce the role of a certain character according to the audience's preferences.

Deputy Director Jiang Dongming nodded and said to other members of the inspection tour who accompanied him: This is to let the people test the quality of a TV series. Our TV station also serves the people. The way of making TV series in Hong Kong compatriots is worth learning from.

Huang Xizhao just pretended not to hear what Jiang Dongming said and continued: In order to save time and cost, Hong Kong TV series were divided into at least two director groups when filming, and at most, there were even five or six director groups filming at the same time.

An old man named Huang Yihe in the inspection team asked: It is probably difficult to manage five or six director teams to shoot a movie at the same time?

Huang Xizhao smiled and said: So the producer has the final say in the filming of TV series in Hong Kong, because each director has different styles and shooting speeds, and the producer needs to monitor the overall situation.Moreover, the main actors need to run back and forth between the various director groups, and the arrangement of filming sessions also requires the producer to coordinate well.

Jiang Dongming had also been a director before, but he was shocked to hear that: Why can the producer be busy?

Huang Xizhao said: Some producers often work as a group of directors themselves. After the filming day, they have to work overtime to sort out the bottom tape of the shooting that day, and edit the film with the editor and the scene recorder. They can basically sleep for three or four hours a day.Because the workload is too high, the producer basically needs to rest for a while after filming a TV series, otherwise his body will not be able to hold on.

Jiang Dongming nodded and praised: It seems that Hong Kong colleagues are still very dedicated.

Huang Xizhao gave an explanation while taking the people from the inspection team to visit.

When I came to an outside of a studio, I was stopped by a staff member at the door and said: Mr. Huang, Mr. Kang was filming the final makeup photo of "The Legend of Qin".

Huang Xizhao smiled and said: I am a delegation from the mainland behind me, so it’s okay to go in and visit.

Before coming to Hong Kong, Jiang Dongming had heard of Kang Jianfei's reputation and asked: Mr. Huang, is Mr. Kang in it the boss Kang Jianfei?

It was him. Huang Xizhao lifted the curtain of the studio and pushed the door open and said, "Come in and have a look."

Jiang Dongming just stepped in and had half his foot when someone cursed inside: The grass, the light has been adjusted, and any one who fails to open the door at this time, let me go out!

Fortunately, comrades from the mainland didn’t understand Cantonese, and they just thought that someone was losing their temper.

When Huang Xizhao saw Kang Jianfei looking at him angrily, she said awkwardly: Mr. Kang, these people behind me are inspectors from Beijing.

The anger on Kang Jianfei's face suddenly turned into a smile, and he walked over with a haha, holding Jiang Dongming's hand enthusiastically and said: Welcome comrades from mainland China, I am just about to finish my work and take you around.I had already booked a seat to welcome everyone at the Kowloon Hotel.

We have received Mr. Kang's intentions, but the Communists do not take the masses one by one, so don't spend money.

Jiang Dongming declined politely.

Although mainland officials at this time also had various tricks, they still paid great attention to their image when going out for inspection, otherwise the consequences would be serious if the accident occurred.

Kang Jianfei shook hands with other members of the inspection team one by one and joked: Comrades from the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office often called me Hong Kong compatriots. Since they were compatriots, what else could they see?The invitation to a meal for fellow countrymen is an expression of their feelings, so Master Jiang should not refuse.

Jiang Dongming was planning the cost of this inspection, thinking that he would pay for the meal as much as possible after dinner, and refusing would hurt the feelings of Hong Kong compatriots. He nodded and smiled: Mr. Kang is so kind, then I would be more respectful than obedient.

It’s easy to say, Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Please wait a moment, I will finish work after taking this set of makeup photos."

Jiang Dongming smiled and said: Please give me a favor.

Kang Jianfei continued to guide the photographer to take photos, while the people from the inspection team watched with great enthusiasm.

Huang Yihe walked to Jiang Dongming and whispered: Master, I just watched the variety show of Feng Huáng, and I had an idea in my mind.

Jiang Dongming asked: What's the idea?Could it be that you want CCTV to do such a program?

It’s not done now, Huang Yihe explained, I mean that during the Chinese New Year, we will also hold a party in Taiwan.Representatives of ethnic minorities, advanced individuals, performing artists, and some leaders are invited to celebrate the New Year with the people of the whole country through TV programs.

Do you want to hold a New Year's party?Jiang Dongming thought about it, it’s not impossible, I will go back and discuss it with Lao Zhao.However, this matter is very important and must be approved by superiors.

Huang Yihe thought about it and added: It is best to invite compatriots from Hong Kong and Taiwan to attend the evening party to have a happy New Year's Eve between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions.

This is a good idea!Jiang Dongming's eyes lit up. If the program involves the reunion between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions, it will be elevated to a political task. If it is done well, it will be a great achievement.

Huang Yihe smiled and said: I think it would be better to invite two stars from Taiwan.

The two old men began to discuss the Spring Festival Gala. Kang Jianfei quickly finished the makeup photo and took the inspection team to continue the tour.

After roughly turning around the TV station, Huang Xizhao thought about selling movies to the mainland and took the people from the inspection team to the screening room to watch the drama.

Huang Xizhao directly asked someone to take out the previous proud work "The Six Tribulations of Life" from the film library. Wan Ziliang, Wei Qiuhua, Chen Xiuwen and Leslie Cheung all starred in this TV series.

As a result, after watching it for a few minutes, Jiang Dongming threw the introduction of the TV series in his hand aside and shook his head and said: Change to the next one. If I buy this one, I can't broadcast it on CCTV.

Huang Xizhao didn't understand the reason and was about to ask a question, but Kang Jianfei whispered: The gang drama is too heavy, let's change to "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia".

Huang Xizhao nodded and asked someone to move "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" out of the film library.

The reason why Kang Jianfei was directly on "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" is because in another time and space, this TV series caused a sensation when it was broadcast in the mainland.

However, it was screened on Guangdong local stations. I wonder if this TV series can be directly on CCTV.

Due to the butterfly effect brought by Kang Jianfei, Liang Xiaolong joined DreamWorks early, and the role of Chen Zhen in "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" is played by Zhang Senmin.

Zhang Senmin has never heard of Kang Jianfei. He and Huang Yuanshen, the actor who played Huo Yuanjia, had already left the TV station and ran outside to shoot movies.

As for the heroine Michelle, Michelle, who just returned to Feng Huáng from TVB last month, and signed a five-year long appointment.

In order to enhance their idols, some fans of Michelle Michelle said that Michelle could have taken on free roles between TVB and ATV back then, which was purely nonsense.

It’s clear to look at Michelle’s resume. At first, she had been filming at Jiashi. After Jiashi went bankrupt, she ran to TVB.

Only one movie was filmed on TVB, and then he was poached by Lishi. He continued to film until the end of the era of Lishi, and then he switched to TVB.

Michelle filmed a drama on TVB for less than a year, and was soon signed back by ATV, which was controlled by Qiu Degen, and signed for five years.

This kind of experience can only be said that Michelle is very popular. The two TV stations are rushing to ask for people, but it is impossible to take on free roles between the two TV stations.

If Michelle made a hit on Feng Huáng TV and went to TVB for the next movie, would Kang Jianfei, as the boss, enjoy it?

Not only Kang Jianfei is unhappy, but I am afraid the most depressing one is the program director Madon Heung. It is possible to directly ban Michelle. So what if she has a famous godfather?

Mi Xue returned to Feng Huáng Station last week, which made Kang Jianfei very embarrassed because Huang Xizhao and Madon Xiong both suggested that Mi Xue play Wu Tingfang in "The Legend of Qin".

Kang Jianfei was persuaded by the two for a long time, and finally changed his mind and replaced the original actor Mao Shunjun.

Because in terms of fame and acting, Michelle is more suitable for the role of Wu Tingfang.

The members of the Central Station's inspection team watched "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" attentively. Although this drama is a Cantonese dialogue, the members of the inspection team also enjoyed the subtitles.

After watching the episode, Jiang Dongming nodded without feeling at the end and praised: This TV series is good, the theme is patriotism, which is very educational.

Another member of the inspection team said: The theme song is also great, it has been sleeping for a hundred years, and the Chinese people have gradually woken up, and the lyrics are well written.

Kang Jianfei interrupted at the right time: The dialogue needs to be matched in Mandarin, but this theme song can be preserved.CCTV will record a Mandarin song by itself, and together with "The Great Wall Never Fall", one is used as the opening song and the other is used as the ending song.

I wonder how to sell this TV series?Jiang Dongming nodded and asked directly about the price.

Kang Jianfei and Huang Xizhao looked at each other, and the former said: Each episode is RMB 2,000, a total of 42 episodes, totaling 84,000 yuan.

This price is very suitable.

Jiang Dongming nodded, he was very satisfied with the price.

The film "Eighteen Years of Enemy Camp" produced by CCTV last year cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, while the TV series purchased from Japan were basically more than 100,000 yuan.

Kang Jianfei smiled and said: But I have a condition.

Jiang Dongming was a little surprised and asked: What are the conditions?

Kang Jianfei said: After CCTV broadcasts "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", it cannot resell and copy it to local stations in mainland China at will.

At this time, Hong Kong is full of pirated copies, and the mainland has no idea of ​​copyright.

Even more than ten years later, the "Titanic" screened by many regular theaters in mainland China were pirated copies and distributed companies did not copy them enough, and Chinese theaters privately printed copies.

Jiang Dongming asked strangely: Why?Why can't the things we buy be resold?

Kang Jianfei explained: This is a copyright issue and a common law in the world.

Jiang Dongming didn't know if he was pretending to be confused and said: The mainland TV stations are all state-owned and belong to the same nature. We don't resell them, so we can just give them away.

Kang Jianfei almost vomited blood after hearing this, and he reluctantly said: Otherwise, CCTV would also re-record Mandarin dubbing.All Mandarin versions of "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" belong to Feng Huáng and CCTV.If CCTV wants to resell it in the mainland, it will charge 500 yuan per episode, and the remaining money will belong to CCTV.

Jiang Dongming also had to take into account the image of CCTV and nodded and said: This idea is good.

After getting this done, Huang Xizhao and Kang Jianfei were both very happy.As long as it can be sold into the mainland market, this "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia" can be given away for free.

Think about dozens of provinces in mainland China, there are so many TV stations, how much does it cost to sell a TV series?

Of course, municipal-level TV stations will definitely play pirated copies, but provincial-level TV stations can supervise it.

More than 30 provincial stations in the mainland, even if only half of the TV stations purchased "The Great Hero Huo Yuanjia", they only charge 500 yuan per episode. Feng Huáng TV Station also recorded 300,000 yuan, which is equivalent to more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars in black market price.

This is still an old drama, and the price of new dramas will definitely be more expensive.
