Chapter 274 Times Have Changed

Still Yang Mi.

This time she is also in the crew of "The Lonely and Great God", playing a good friend of Zhuang Muxi. I just feel that it is different from other TV dramas. The tug-of-war between the male and female protagonists is really exciting.

This was only September 2005.

Many routines in Korean dramas seem very fresh now, especially for young girls like Yang Mi, who can easily fall into them if they are not careful.

When she went home to have dinner with her parents and talked about the new drama that was being filmed, she praised it highly and told me:
"The TV series I filmed this time is really amazing!"

"We used a sports car worth more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars as a prop, and even went to Mr. Fan's home to shoot. Hermes sponsored several bags and belts, which I heard were worth million Hong Kong dollars. We were even arranged to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, and the room rate was several hundred Hong Kong dollars per night."

"The treatment of the crew is really different. Fortunately, I chose to change jobs a few months ago. I have never heard of any crew willing to shoot like this. Later, we will go to Russia and Hungary to shoot, but unfortunately I don't have a role, so they won't take me with them."

Her father thought that this kind of life was too far away, so far that he couldn't even imagine it, and joked:

"Then why did you go home and stay at home these two days? Why didn't you arrange for you to continue staying in a luxury hotel?"

".The company's money didn't come from the wind. Knowing that our family lives in Yanjing, why would they continue to book a hotel for us?"

Just as she finished speaking, she heard her mother ask:

"Does driving a luxury car worth over 10 million yuan help you live longer? It's just for commuting, so spending a few dollars on a taxi is fine."

"How can they be the same? I heard that people spend millions to buy cars, and the value has increased by millions. Other cars are consumer goods, and they have already started to depreciate as soon as they are purchased. Do you know the Ferrari with a black license plate A00001? Mr. Fan's car in the drama is also a limited edition Ferrari, and he also has an extended Rolls-Royce Phantom."

I am worried that my precious daughter will become bad because of her high expectations but poor skills.

Hear the words.

Father Yang reminded:
"Your boss is good in every way except that he is too rich. There are only a few people like him. The right thing to do is to live a good life."

We have nothing in common and are always suppressed when chatting.

Yang Mi instantly lost interest in the conversation and could clearly feel the generation gap.

The mainland has been developing too fast in recent years, and the ways of thinking are different between generations. Parents and elders may have good intentions, but conversations with them may sometimes make people feel tired.

The bottom line is, times have changed.

Many life experiences are no longer suitable for the current social situation.

Last night, Yang Mi also waited in front of her brand new LCD TV, patiently waiting for "Wulin Waijia" to start airing.

Although this TV series was bought by Bandit King Media and Yang Mi even made a guest appearance in one episode, she had no idea what was actually filmed in the previous episodes.

During the summer vacation, she spent more than 52 yuan to buy this 1080-inch LCD TV, which supports full HD p resolution. Recently, when relatives and friends came to her house, they all praised this TV.

I clearly bought the gift with good intentions, but what I got in return was a lecture.

I was told to save money, as the career of an actor is precarious, unlike many stable jobs that can be lost at any time, and there is no protection when you get old.

Yang Mi just ignored it and let it go in one ear and out the other.

Having seen how Zhuang Muxi earned tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars for a movie like "A Quiet Place 2", of course she would look down on the meager income from a stable job.

It is precisely because the parents are too frugal, always thinking that they have to work hard when they are young so that they can enjoy a stable life when they are old, that it arouses the rebellious psychology of the new generation of young people, and they do not want to live a similar life.

The phenomenon of "the older generation having to endure hardships" and "the young generation having to enjoy happiness without any blessings" has begun to appear.

Because she found it boring, Yang Mi didn't dare to mention that she had bought a new bag in Gangcheng, which cost her more than 9,000 yuan in total.

After dinner.

Her father wanted to watch "Drawing Sword", so Yang Mi held the remote control tightly and tuned to Shanghai TV to wait for "Wulin Waijia" to start airing.

I heard my parents nagging while watching, saying that this weird comedy was meaningless and that there was nothing to learn from watching it.

Yang Mi suddenly recalled that Fan Wumian once said that the biggest difference between new and old directors lies in their way of thinking, rather than shooting techniques and personal abilities.

In her opinion, watching TV dramas is meant to relax, and it would be boring if there are too many things mixed in.

What Yang Mi finds most strange is the bloody dramas like the one in which the mother-in-law abuses the daughter-in-law, the daughter-in-law swallows her anger and holds back her grievances, tries her best to be filial to please the elders, and finally the family is reunited. However, many older generations like these dramas very much.

Comparing the two, Yang Mi felt that the new drama that Fan Wumian was currently starring in seemed particularly grand and high-end, and she became increasingly aware that signing with Bandit King Media had more prospects.

The third episode of "Wulin Waijia" is about - "The guys became small followers, and Mo Xiaobei established the eight major sects."

Due to the rather peculiar style of the story, many people found it difficult to accept it for a while after the show was first aired.

The current situation is that middle-aged and elderly people are still the main force in chasing dramas. This group of people are not very adaptable to accepting new things and have no interest in "Wulin Waijia".

During this period, students are still in school, and many people are unable to watch it first.

This led to Shanghai TV.

After the last TV series was broadcast, most viewers did not stay to watch "Wulin Wai Zhuan", and the ratings were mainly supported by the newly-wed fans of Fan Wumian. It was also because they saw that "Wulin Wai Zhuan" was not liked by the mainstream audience group, so the original investor sold it off without hesitation, and the TV station could not offer a price.

Let’s look at the hit drama “Drawing Sword”.

No one expected that "Drawing Sword" would become such a big hit, and the CCTV sold the second-round broadcasting rights to local TV stations very early on. Recently, there were reports that the CCTV lost huge advertising fees as a result.

There are rumors in the market that the central bank is discussing tightening the second-round broadcasting rights of exclusive dramas, that is, after spending money to buy out the copyright of the TV series, it will not be delegated to local TV stations, but will only be broadcast exclusively within its own TV stations.

This is actually a good thing for Fan Wumian because he has never considered being bought out directly. The reduction in the number of good dramas that local stations can broadcast will inevitably increase the expenditure on purchasing other TV dramas.

Whether a TV series can make money is not determined by the price of the first broadcast rights, but mainly by how many times the rebroadcast rights can be sold.

For example, by selling the second-round broadcast rights for "Wulin Waijia", the three TV stations combined can earn more than 18 yuan per episode, which is far more than the 9 yuan given by Shanghai TV.

If other TV stations become interested in the business later, the revenue will also increase.

at the same time.

Located in the courtyard of Financial Street.

Zhuang Muxi's house had the heating turned on. She watched the drama without blinking and said to Fan Wumian:
"I've been away for so long, and two of the goldfish you bought for me have died, and the flowers in the yard have also died. I don't live here all the time, so it doesn't seem right for me to keep these. I'd better not buy any more in the future. The cleaning lady may not always help water and feed the flowers."

Nodding, Fan Wumian put his arm around her waist and said:

"Then keep fewer in the future. In fact, small turtles are easier to keep alive, but the pond water needs to be changed frequently, otherwise it will easily stink."

Zhuang Muxi continued:
“Although this TV series is strange, it is still very interesting if you watch it carefully.”

"Well, there are so many TV stations in Taiwan, and the population is only over 20 million. The purchase price is too low, and it seems that this TV series is not very good. No wonder many celebrities over there go to the mainland and Hong Kong to make money. The market size is too small, and it is difficult to make a fortune without going abroad."

".Am I considered one too?"

"No, you didn't make your debut in Taiwan, and you haven't been in the local entertainment industry. It's enough for you to be in mainland China and Hollywood. With the "A Quiet Place" series, many foreign audiences will be impressed by you. I will help you arrange some roles when the time comes. Remember to practice speaking more."

Fan Wumian has discovered that he is making money faster and faster.

If this trend continues, there may be a chance to catch up with the "Marvel blockbuster" craze and find a way to get a piece of the pie.

There is no need to consider how much I will earn. The main thing is to join in the fun, practice how to shoot and star in special effects blockbusters, improve my professional skills, and prepare for the filming of "The Wandering Earth" and some oriental fantasy dramas.

As long as there is money, helping Zhuang Muxi to pave the way in Hollywood is a piece of cake and not a big deal.

"Oral English? How about we talk to each other in private and improve each other's English?"

"Okay, let's start tomorrow. I'm a little tired today."

We chatted idly.

I haven’t finished watching two episodes of “Wulin Waijia” yet.

When Fan Wumian received a call from Pu Jiajing and learned that the ratings for the third episode tonight were 3.26, he was immediately cheered up.

The ratings for the premiere yesterday were only 1.43, which means that if the statistical scope is 100 million people, only about 1 people are watching "Wulin Waijia".

Fan Wumian knew this data in the morning.

I can understand why Shanghai TV did not announce it to the public in a high-profile manner. It can only be considered as a standard move.

According to the previous data of Shanghai TV, it seems to be pretty good, but compared with the popular works of CCTV and Hubei Radio and Television, it is a bit behind.

Even for the local TV stations that obtained the second round broadcasting rights for "Drawing Sword", the ratings exceeded 2.

The data of the third episode of "Wulin Waijia" more than doubled, which shows that there are many new viewers pouring in, and the number of viewers who switch channels is relatively small, which obviously shows that the show has started to gain momentum.

I can probably guess it.

This may be because many potential viewers did not know that "Wulin Waijia" had already started airing.

The news fermented all day today. It was spread by word of mouth in the school, and many people saw the news on the Internet and in newspapers, which successfully attracted a group of viewers.

As a result, the ratings soared as soon as the third episode was aired, more than doubling from the original level.

Not long after chatting with Pu Jiajing, Jiang Shixi also called and told me:

"Boss! The ratings have broken 3.2. Jiangsu Satellite TV just called our company and asked about the price of the second round of broadcast rights. We quoted 7 per episode. If we can keep this data, we can make a fortune!"

Calculating the time, it’s still early before the winter vacation.

Fan Wumian reminded:

"Just follow the market price. Small profits but quick turnover is also good. The second episode has been produced and can be sent for review at any time. I plan to arrange it to be broadcast next summer."
