"I heard from Director Yu that Mr. Qiao is going to buy the Liaozhai school to broadcast on TVB? "Wang Fulin asked with his glasses and his eyes shining.

"Yes." Qiao Feng nodded with a smile and said, "I think I should get Hong Kong to let Hong Kong people see outstanding works shot by mainland TV people. Especially in terms of classical classics, I think that the mainland's investments far exceed those of Hong Kong's, which is really worth learning from Hong Kong TV and filmmakers."

"Learn from each other." Wang Fulin waved his hand modestly, and then said with emotion: "But it is really hard to shoot TV in the mainland. This Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is a little better. It was really hard when Director Yang Jie filmed Journey to the West."

Wang Fulin said that Yang Jie, another director who filmed four masterpieces, admired him very much in his words.

But it is normal. Director Yang Jie can be said to have explored the first special effects path for mainland TV filmmakers.

As a mythological drama, the special effects of Journey to the West are naturally indispensable. However, for the mainland in the past few years, the special effects were simply blank. Without the lessons of the past, Director Yang Jie could only make herself a master of the future.

Almost all jobs such as camera, makeup, props, lighting, smoke, martial arts, etc. work together to shoot countless times in one shot from every angle.

You should know that at that time, Journey to the West crew had no funds, no equipment, and only one camera was needed.

The shooting of that lens at all angles is not like decades later. Several or more than a dozen cameras were taken at the same time. As long as the actors perform, the scenes from different angles can be taken at the same time.

Journey to the West takes every angle of a shot, which is the actor repeating the performance over and over again, and then the camera repeatedly shoots at different angles, and finally combines it into different angles on the film to display the same shot.

It can be said that director Yang Jie's Journey to the West was the originator of all the movies and TV series that needed special effects to be produced later, and it was also a guide.

Many of the special effects were made during the filming of the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio based on the summary and exploration of Director Yang Jie's Journey to the West.

As a latecomer, Wang Fulin certainly admires him very much.

Speaking of hardship, technology is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is naturally funding. Journey to the West took pictures for six years, and the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio was a little less, and it took more than two or three years, but the investment was only a few million.

Like Journey to the West, it was once killed because of lack of funds. The actors did not work for nothing at the beginning. This is one of the three reasons why Tang Seng had frequent changes in the actors at the beginning of Journey to the West.

In order to save money and safety, the reusable equipment of the Wiais was used, and a rope was still worn very thinly.

The 170-pound monk Sha fell directly on the cameraman's head in a powerful scene, causing the cameraman to fall into a coma for two days.

The eldest brother and Bajie will snatch high every time they finish filming. Fortunately, they are not injured this time, and continue to work hard next time. Everyone is filming with their lives.

Later, I got a salary, but it was only 90 yuan a month. But the actors had two jobs with one salary. In addition to filming and being an actor, they also worked as a field worker.

There is no distinction between starring and supporting roles in the crew, and everyone is treated the same. There is no assistant, no nanny car, and no preferential treatment. After the filming, you must carry several trucks of leather equipment and tools with the crew.

When there is a lack of a supporting actor, he still has to put on makeup with the crew to save the situation. Li Hongchang is the deputy director of the production of "Journey to the West", and he plays 7 roles in "Journey to the West".

In addition to his own role, Yan Huaili also played nine other characters.

In addition to these two, almost all the leading actors and live-action staff in the play have played guest roles, big or small, in "Journey to the West".

I have to say that Director Yang Jie’s ability to utilize resources is simply first-class.

Then, Journey to the West, filmed in such a difficult environment, has become an eternal classic. When it was fully broadcasted on CCTV last year, the ratings were highest at 89.4%. Even though there were not many TV stations at this time and the TV programs were boring, such ratings were still an absolute myth.

"I heard her say." Qiao Feng pointed to Chen Hong beside him: "It's also very difficult to film the Stories from a Chinese Studio."

"Yes." Wang Fulin nodded in sighing: "Fortunately, our hardships have been rewarded. Not only was it a sensation after the TV broadcast, but Mr. Qiao was also optimistic about buying it for Hong Kong to broadcast. Finally, it was not a waste of effort."

"Director Wang's Dream of Red Mansions was a pounced on by ATV. I have been regretting that such a good drama was not broadcast on TV for a long time. Fortunately, there is no need to regret this time in the Stories from a Chinese Studio." Qiao Feng said with a smile.

There was nothing to say, Qiao Feng didn't know what Wang Fulin had to ask him for, so he could only continue to pretend to be a compliment.

The compliments are fake, because Qiao Feng, who heard about the classic Dream of the Red Chamber, has never watched it much, and he doesn't like it. Unfortunately, it's true. The ratings of Dream of the Red Chamber were quite high when it was broadcast on ATV.

If the wireless broadcast, which has always been the same as ATV, the ratings will definitely be higher, and then naturally wireless can earn more advertising fees, and it can also bring closer relationships with its mainland peers, TV stations, and cultural departments.

Hearing Qiao Feng say this, Wang Fulin smacked his lips, which he was very sorry. When ATV bought Dream of Red Mansions, he was quite happy. He thought that he could export TV series to Hong Kong, and he was also awesome.

But after the Dream of Red Mansions was widely promoted and broadcast on ATV, Wang Fulin was not so happy.

Because the ratings are far lower than his expectations. Not to mention that they can get the fabulous eighty-odd just like domestic broadcasts, but at least there must be sixty-seventy-odd.

But the fact is that the highest ratings of Dream of Red Mansions when ATV was broadcasted did not exceed fifty.

This is the importance of choosing a channel.

If it is on wireless, any TV series broadcast during prime time with better quality will rarely have a rating below 30. But for ATV, it would be great to be able to exceed 30.

Naturally, if you put it in wireless, the ratings of Dream of Red Mansions can reach 60 or 70, but if you put it in ATV, you can't even get through the 50 hurdle.

"This time, the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is the beginning of a good cooperation between us and Mr. Qiao and Wireless. I hope we can have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." Wang Fulin said sincerely.

"It must be, I will cooperate more in the future." Qiao Feng nodded with a smile.

Cooperation will be a major trend in the future whether it is buying a movie or filming.

Even if wireless self-produced dramas are enough to be played by themselves, cooperation with the mainland will still become a trend, but it is just a matter of how much.

Just like ATV, because it is not good to make your own dramas, it often seeks to buy good TV series produced by others to play.

Wireless is very popular in the Hong Kong TV industry and is good enough for homemade dramas, so it buys very few.

"Ms. Chen's ancient costume looks are really amazing." Wang Fulin suddenly changed the topic and praised Chen Hong.

"Forehead..."
