This star’s style is wrong

Chapter 563 The Mist Theater warms up, and the competitors are strong

After four months of intense filming, "White Night" and "The Dark One" were finalized and post-production began.

Before the filming of "The Dark One" was completed, Fang Xing watched the footage shot for two days and found that the quality was very good.

It can be seen that Zhang Yigao really tried his best this time.

After all, there are not many opportunities like this. If this drama fails, it will be very difficult for him to direct a TV series alone in the future.

Of course, if he is willing to take on projects from third-rate film and television companies, it's not that there is no chance of filming at all. It's just that after filming so many hit dramas, he knows how comfortable it is to work in a mature crew.

Before joining Ark Culture, Zhang Yigao worked in the crews of many third-rate film and television companies.

There are too many bad things going on with this crew.

Even on the first day I joined the crew, I knew that the stuff produced by this crew would definitely be crappy, but as long as the crew paid wages, I had to work.

Of course, there are times when wages are not paid.

In short, Zhang Yigao wanted to seize this opportunity no matter what, so he tried his best to film "Dark Man" to the limit of his ability.

In addition, the actors' acting skills are indeed good, and the overall effect is very good.

There is a dedicated team for the later stage, and Fang Xing will monitor the progress every few days.

Since "Mist Theater" is a new card played by Wandou Video, it has been preheated for four months, and it is necessary to arrange for the "Mist Theater" drama to be launched as soon as possible.

Therefore, "The Dark One" and "White Night" are waiting for the post-production period to be completed before they are directly scheduled to be broadcast.

These two dramas are customized for "Mist Theater", so they are broadcast exclusively on Wandou Video.

Moreover, both dramas are produced by Ark Culture. Among them, "White Night" is directed and acted by Fang Xing, and one person plays two roles.

It directly raises the audience's expectations to the top.

And the audience has been hungry for four months.

Some drama-hungry viewers are even counting the days to wait for these two dramas.

After all, the TV series produced by Ark Culture so far are basically hits, and the worst one, "The Elegance of the Tang Dynasty", was only a minor hit.

Moreover, "The Elegance of the Tang Dynasty" has been included in the ranks of Ark culture leftovers by the audience.

After all, Fang Xing was not directly involved in this drama.

And every TV series that Fang Xing directly participated in was the king of dramas.

This time there are two films at once, and the audience is naturally looking forward to it.

After the completion of "White Night" and "Dark Man", Ark Culture and Wandou Video began pre-heating.

These two dramas happen to be one "white" and one "black".

They are always bundled together for publicity, so they are nicknamed "Black and White" by netizens.

Because Wandou Video launched the "Mist Theater" feature and it became so popular, the other two of the three major video websites felt tremendous pressure.

The competition on video websites is very fierce. As long as there is no good content for a period of time, the audience will be sucked away by other websites.

Not only the three major video websites, but also Xiangguo Video, the first among the three, is actively looking for suspense dramas.

Xiangguo Video is not bad. After all, Xiangguo Video’s basic base is idol dramas. Suspense dramas are just looking for one to top it off, as long as it can withstand the offensive of "Mist Theater".

The same cannot be said for Penguin Video and Xiangtao Video. These two companies take a comprehensive route and broadcast all kinds of dramas. Suspense dramas are also the main genre.

Now, Wandou Video is about to launch two suspenseful criminal investigation dramas, and has also opened a special theater called "Mist Theater".

If the "Mist Theater" marketing campaign is successful and creates a word-of-mouth effect, any drama broadcast under the "Mist Theater" banner in the future will be supported by the theater, which will have strong stickiness for audiences who like suspense dramas.

To this end, Penguin Video and Xiangtao Video are searching for suspense dramas to prepare to withstand this wave of "fog theater" offensive.

Moreover, Penguin Video has really found a high-quality suspense drama to be broadcast.

This suspenseful criminal investigation drama is a drama starring Jin Peng's emperor Wu Zhikang and popular star Zhu Yiting.

With Wu Zhikang taking charge of the drama, the quality of this drama is guaranteed.

However, this drama was not filmed this year, but was not aired for two years.

In the film and television industry, there are indeed some dramas that are waiting to be aired and will not be aired for several years.

There are many reasons for this situation, some are inappropriate price, and some are worrying quality.

Wu Zhikang's "The Lonely Suspect" is not the first two situations, but the third one.

Failed to pass trial.

Suspense criminal investigation dramas are actually sensitive subjects for review.

Because in this type of drama, it is inevitable that there will be crime, gore, etc.

Usually, when a drama of this type is submitted for review, there will be more or less areas that need to be modified.

Most suspense dramas can pass the review after revision.

Of course, if the film studio feels that the quality of the series will be reduced after the modification and is unwilling to modify it, then they can only let it go.

In short, Wu Zhikang's "Lonely Suspect" has been under pressure for two years.

This drama is produced by Fanfan Entertainment and stars Shidi, so the quality is indeed guaranteed.

When it was finalized two years ago, there were TV stations and video websites that wanted to broadcast it, but it didn't pass the review and was delayed.

It’s just in time for Wandou Video to launch the “Mist Theater” feature.

Penguin Video searched for suspense dramas everywhere and finally found this drama.

This drama has been under development for two years, and Fanfan Entertainment has been unable to recoup its investment. In fact, it wants to air it as soon as possible.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

Penguin Video obtained the exclusive broadcast rights of "Lone Suspect" at a price that was not too high on the condition of helping "Lone Suspect" pass the review.

In addition to Penguin Video, Xiangtao Video also invested in a suspense drama.

With an investment of 100 million, this is an S-level project, with A-list actors starring in it, and the cast also has the audience looking forward to it.

The three major video websites have all prepared suspense dramas and are preparing to start the war in November.

It's mid-October, just one week after the long holiday, and the three major video websites have begun to warm up suspense dramas, and trailers have been posted on their homepages.

After the post-production of "White Night" and "The Dark One" is completed.

Wandou Video held a meeting to discuss the broadcast schedule. Fang Xing, as the producer of the two dramas, attended the meeting.

"The Mist Theater has been preheating for more than four months. It is necessary to arrange the broadcast of the series as soon as possible. In addition, the order in which the two dramas will be broadcast also needs to be determined." Gong Jianbin raised the topic of discussion.

Executives from various departments began to express their opinions based on the situation of the website and the series.

"I think that in addition to looking at the promotion arrangements of our website, we should also pay attention to the situation of our competitors."

The marketing director of Wandou Video released a piece of data and said: “Both Penguin Video and Xiangtao Video have made preparations to attack our Mist Theater.

"Among them, the most critical one is the suspense drama "The Lonely Suspect" purchased by Penguin Video. This drama stars Wu Zhikang and stars Zhu Yiting, a popular star.

"Furthermore, this drama has been suppressed for two years. According to the news I heard, this drama has been delayed until now because it failed to pass the review. There is no problem with the quality of the drama.

“Since this drama has been waiting for two years and the audience has been waiting for it for two years, the expectations are very high.

“After Penguin Video released the latest trailer, the number of views of the trailer exceeded 10 million within three days.

"It has more views than the trailer of "White Night", so this drama should not be underestimated.

"The suspense drama invested by Xiangtao Video is "His Secret". It is a new drama that combines emotion and suspense. The starring cast is not bad, and many viewers have expressed their expectations. It may become a hit.

"So, when we arrange the broadcast order of "White Night" and "The Dark One", we also need to consider how to deal with competitors' sniping."

After all departments expressed their opinions, Gong Jianbin looked at Fang Xing and asked, "Director Fang, what do you think?"

The producer of both dramas is Fang Xing, so Fang Xing’s opinion must be the most important.

Fang Xing's expression was very calm and he replied: "Actually, I think everything is fine. I saw the trailer of Wu Zhikang's "Lonely Suspect" and the quality is indeed very high. It may not be inferior to "The Dark One", but you still have to watch it. The situation of the main film being broadcast.”

In fact.

"Lone Suspect" has been on the market for two years, and there are many rumors in the industry.

During this period, many film viewing groups on video platforms went to watch the finished film.

Therefore, there are even members of the Ark Culture crew who were members of the film viewing group from the previous video platform.

After a little inquiry, I know that the quality of this drama is very high.

After all, it is Wu Zhikang, the king of Jin Peng, who carries the drama.

Therefore, after watching the trailer, Fang Xing could probably guess the quality of this drama.

Fanfan Entertainment dares to run this drama for two years and is not sure about selling it at a low price, which also shows that Fanfan Entertainment has great confidence in this drama.

Penguin Video is willing to come forward to help this drama pass review, which also shows that it is very optimistic about this drama.

In short, the competition for suspense dramas this time is fierce.

Even Fang Xing didn't dare to say whether "Dark One" could beat "Lonely Suspect".

After all, "The Dark One" is only an A-level investment. There are actually no first-line actors in the starring cast. They are all cast from actors who are not very popular but have good acting skills.

The actor Guo Sanjin, who plays the leading role "Luo Fei", although he has acting skills, is not very handsome and is not well-known.

If you only watch the trailer, viewers who like to see faces may not be very interested in "The Dark One".

Audiences looking forward to "The Dark One" are basically fans of suspense dramas or fans of Ark culture.

Therefore, it is really hard to say whether "The Dark One", with second-, third-tier, or even eighteenth-tier actors, can beat "The Lonely Suspect", which is a TV drama.

The post-production of "White Night" and "The Dark One" has been basically completed. Fang Xing has seen the first cuts of the two dramas, so he has a good idea of ​​the quality of the two dramas.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xing asked: "Gong always wants to have the last laugh, or do he want to be the first to win?"

Gong Jianbin thought deeply and asked, "What's the difference?"

Fang Xing replied: "If you have the last laugh, put the highlight at the back for the finale. If you want to be the first to win, put it at the front for a good start."

Gong Jianbin asked: "Director Fang thinks that one of the two dramas is not of good quality, right?"

Fang Xing shook his head and replied: "No, the quality of both dramas is very high, but this time it may really be a fight between gods, so we still need to arrange a strategy."

Gong Jianbin thought for a moment and said, "Then let's have the last laugh."

Fang Xing nodded slowly and said, "Then let's broadcast "Dark One" first, maybe a little earlier."

Gong Jianbin looked at the executives present and asked, "Does anyone know when "The Lonely Suspect" will be broadcast?"

All the executives shook their heads: "We are not sure yet. I only know that it should be broadcast in early November, but the specific time has not been determined yet. Maybe the other party is also waiting for our broadcast plan before confirming the time."

This time the suspense drama competition also involves Wandou Video’s subsequent film and television plans.

If this suspense drama succeeds, then the special theater "Mist Theater" will become established and will become a brand with long-term effects.

Therefore, the competitive strategy of Penguin Video and Xiangtao Video is to attack the "Mist Theater".

As long as the first two dramas of "Mist Theater" are suppressed, the sniper will be successful.

To this end, Penguin Video used its connections to broadcast "The Lonely Suspect".

And Xiangtao Video invested 100 million to film "His Secret".

Wandou Video now needs to compete with two of the three major video websites.

Not only that, Xiangguo Video will also get involved.

Therefore, this November is a melee of suspense dramas.

Not only Wandou Video wants to play strategy, Penguin Video, Xiangtao Video, and Xiangguo Video also want to play strategy.

Fang Xing thought about it and said, "That's it. "Dark One" will be broadcast on November 1st. "White Night" will be broadcast after Double Eleven."

After discussion, the broadcast plan was finally decided.

"Dark Ones" will be aired on November 2, and "Dark Night" will be aired on November 20.

The first season of "Dark Ones" has a total of 46 episodes, but each episode is a bit short, only 30 minutes.

Therefore, the broadcast plan formulated by Wandou Video is to update two episodes for free every day starting from November 2, and VIP members can watch 8 more episodes.

Just in time for November 20th, VIP members will have direct access to the finale.

Subsequently, "White Night" was launched successively, allowing "Mist Theater" to rule the entire November.

After the broadcast plan is confirmed.

The official channels of partner companies such as Ark Culture and Wandou Video have officially announced.

On the day of the official announcement, the news that the two dramas were scheduled to be released became a hot search topic.

Audiences who had been waiting for more than four months finally waited for the exact launch time, and began to discuss online:

[It’s finally airing. I’ve been waiting so long that my kids can play soy sauce. 】

[Hey, "Dark One" is broadcast first, Zhang Yigao's card is good. 】

[The black and white demons come together, and the November TV series is really bloody. 】

【Fuck! I thought that at least one of the two dramas would be released for half a year, but I didn't expect that "Mist Theater" would release two killer dramas at once. 】

[It’s great to watch now, and Penguin Video also has a show called “Lone Suspect”. I’ve been waiting for this show for two years. It was released this time, and November was really crazy. 】

[I am particularly looking forward to "The Lonely Suspect". I heard that this drama has not been censored before, so I don't know if it contains sensitive content. 】

[The TV drama "Shi Di" was finally released after two years of waiting. 】

[Hey, hey, "White Night" is also a drama that Shidi carries. Don’t think of singers as emperors, okay? 】(End of this chapter)
