Chapter 303 302. "Going to the West Exit" is finished

After sending Jing Tian away, more than a week passed, and the time came to December 20, which was also the day when "Walking to the West Exit" wrapped filming.

The last scene is currently being filmed. Tian Qing's mother Shuzhen (Tao Huimin) and his wife Douhua (Fan Bingbing) stand on the high slope beside the road to bid farewell to Tian Qing, who is riding to the west exit and preparing to participate in the anti-Japanese work.

Fan Bingbing supported Tao Huimin and stood on the high slope, reluctant to leave, looking at the horse team galloping below with tears in his eyes.

At this time, Tao Huimin suddenly said: "What are you waiting for? Have you forgotten how we Shanxi women send men to the west exit?"

Fan Bingbing quickly ran a few steps holding up her skirt, and with tears in her eyes began to sing the classic song:

"Brother, please take the west exit. It's really hard for me to keep my little sister..."

Hearing the familiar singing voice coming from above, Wei Wu and others, who were leading the cavalry, quickly tightened their reins, then turned to look at the slope behind them to the left.

Wei Wu, who was sitting on the horse, turned around and looked at each other affectionately with Fan Bingbing. He hesitated to speak. In the end, without saying anything, he turned the horse's head, crossed his legs, and led the cavalry towards the sunset...

Then Kong Shu picked up the loudspeaker and shouted:

"OK, card!"

When Wei Wu came back on horseback, he checked the monitor carefully, then waved his hand and said:

"No problem, I passed! "Walking to the West Exit" is finished!"

"Yeah", everyone cheered, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

Wei Wu was also very happy. He was finally relieved and no longer had to eat noodles.

I've really had enough of this noodle.

No, there is a closing banquet tonight.

However, there is no need to eat noodles at the closing banquet. It’s not that local restaurants don’t serve rice, but it costs extra.

If you are a southerner who has never been to Jin Province, you may have no idea at all. Even if you add money to rice, how expensive can it be?

After all, in most parts of the South nowadays, you usually eat in restaurants. If you dine in, you don’t have to pay extra for rice. You can eat it for only one yuan at most.

But it's different in the north. For example, when you go to a local restaurant, rice is charged separately, usually two to three yuan, and it's the kind of small bowl you usually eat at home.

With this amount, an adult man would need two or three bowls to barely eat enough. In other words, for the price of rice alone, you would have to pay at least 6 to 9 yuan.

If rice hadn't been so expensive here, Wei Wu would have replaced all the crew's lunch boxes with rice.

However, if the final banquet is a little extravagant, there is still no problem.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu happily said to everyone:

"As per the old rules, there will be a closing banquet at the Old City Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening. Everyone remember to go!"

Everyone cheered again and said they would definitely go.

At the beginning of the lanterns, the crew of "Walking to the West Exit" had a final banquet with wine and food, and Fan Bingbing suddenly asked about the broadcast status of this drama:

"Director, when will our drama be broadcast?"

Wei Wu thought for a while and said: "It will be in March at the earliest! It depends on the TV station's arrangements."

If Wei Wu is to say, this drama will definitely be broadcast after "Crossing Guandong", which will have the best effect.

Apart from anything else, you need to know that the ratings of the last episode of "Crossing Guandong" in the previous life were over 11%. What a huge wave of traffic this is!

As long as "Walking to the West Exit" takes over this wave of traffic, it will never be left behind as the TV series' annual ratings champion next year.

The average ratings of "Walking to the West Exit" in the previous life were as high as 9.6. If it can perfectly connect with the traffic of "Enter Guandong", wouldn't the average ratings of this life be well above 10?

By then, I am afraid that the previous annual ratings champion "The Legend of Bruce Lee" will have no choice but to surrender.

Although the average ratings for the first 30 episodes of "The Legend of Bruce Lee" were as high as 10.35, it lacked momentum later on and the overall average ratings were only 8.8, so it was naturally no match for it.

"Crossing Guandong" has not been aired yet, but it will be aired soon. It will be aired on CCTV in about 10 days.

In the previous life, "Crossing Guandong" was launched on CCTV's prime time slot on January 2 (because there was a party to be broadcast on New Year's Day). This drama had a total of 52 episodes.

Two episodes will be broadcast every day, which lasts for almost two months. It will be finished by the end of February next year.

If "Walking West Exit" wants to take over this drama, it will have to complete all post-production in more than two months.

Time is indeed a bit tight, but for cheating players like Wei Wu, it is not a big problem.

If there were a lot of special effects, the time would be too much, but without special effects it would be fine.

"Then which channel are we going to air this drama on?"

Wei Wu said with some satisfaction: "We have reached an agreement with CCTV, but we still need to see the final overall quality of the finished product first.

"But the worst thing is the prime time slot of a TV drama channel, most likely a set of prime time slots on CCTV."

In fact, CCTV is relatively easy to talk to this time. On the one hand, it is to save Wei Wu's face.

Of course, another point that cannot be ignored is that "Enter Guandong" has been regarded as the new year's drama by CCTV and will be launched on New Year's Day next year.

Although others have not opened their eyes, with the quality of "Enter Guandong" and the large traffic platform of CCTV, it can be predicted that the ratings of this drama will definitely not be bad.

In this way, "Walking to the West", as a period drama with similar themes, has guaranteed ratings to a certain extent, so CCTV is willing to accept it.

"That's great," Fan Bingbing immediately raised his glass and said with a smile:

"Come on, let's toast to the director. After all, if there was no Director Wei, we wouldn't even know where the door of CCTV opened."

"That's right, let's toast to the director together!"

"Indeed, if it weren't for Director Wei's golden signboard, how could CCTV possibly look at our drama!"

...

When they heard that this drama could be broadcast on CCTV, everyone was very enthusiastic and excited, and they all clamored to have a drink with Wei Wu. Wei Wu certainly didn't spoil the fun.

Everyone happily clinked glasses with Wei Wu. After all, the influence of CCTV is really not covered these days.

The effect of a TV series broadcast on CCTV and on local channels is really different.

In the past 10 years, under normal circumstances, CCTV has at least 5 of the top 10 dramas in the annual ratings (CCTV-1 + TV drama channels), and most of the annual ratings champion dramas are from CCTV.

Although Mango TV has already started to gain momentum these days, it still lacks the foundation compared to CCTV.

Moreover, Mango TV has always focused on variety shows, and has not invested heavily in TV dramas, but it has been smooth sailing and has begun to improve.

For example, this year's "Again, a Dream" was a great success and achieved considerable influence.

Of course, Mango TV's TV dramas will take off completely, and even be qualified to challenge CCTV, but I am afraid that we have to wait until "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" is broadcast.

Fan Bingbing put down his wine glass and asked Wei Wu while pouring wine:

"Is the first round exclusive to CCTV?"

"Yes," Wei Wu nodded:

"Yes, the first round was only sold to CCTV. But if the ratings are good after the first set is broadcast, then the eight sets may also be broadcast simultaneously, or vice versa."

The first round was only sold to CCTV, which was of course a predatory clause set by CCTV.

However, Wei Wu readily accepted it, after all, this matter has its pros and cons.

Although the first round was only sold to CCTV, some copyright income will definitely be lost.

But as long as the ratings of "Going West" in the first round are high enough, the second round can completely make up for it.

Moreover, the first round was only sold to CCTV, and the exclusive broadcast has another advantage, which is that it will not dilute the ratings, and it is more conducive to the annual ratings champion.

Wei Wu filmed "Going West" for the annual ratings champion. He was first for fame rather than profit.

In short, everything is ready now, waiting for "Crossing Guandong" to be broadcast, and clear the way for them to cut down the mountains.
