This star’s style is wrong

Wang Yutao studied the script of "Ancient Lovesickness" very thoroughly, and Fang Xing couldn't fault it even with his seriousness.

After discussing the shooting plan of "Ancient Acacia".

Fang Jing made a last request: "I hope that the final 14 episodes of the TV series will have a smooth plot starting from the first episode. And then starting from the 14th episode and looking backwards, the plot will also be smooth."

This request is very strange.

Under normal circumstances, the plot of a TV series starts from the first episode and then develops episode by episode.

However, Fang Xing made such a strange request.

I actually asked to watch it back from episode 14, and the plot went smoothly.

This unique setting is rare in the TV drama industry.

However, after Wang Yutao heard this, he was just surprised for a moment and immediately understood what it meant:

"I understand. This can be processed during post-editing. There should be no problem."

After Wang Yutao finished talking about the script, he caught the afternoon train back to Donghai and officially started working on the "Ancient Acacia" project.

…

Fang Xingren was in Baitang Town, and he didn't do anything in his free time.

The script for "Dark Ones 2" is ready.

This series has been settling in for more than a year, and the sequel plan can be launched.

Zhang Yigao got the script and read it carefully for a few days. Then he followed Wang Yutao's example and wrote dozens of pages of ideas and preliminary storyboards. He then took him to Baitang Town to discuss the script, and also brought the company's screenwriting team with him. .

Since Fang Xing took a break, Zhang Yigao is now the head TV drama director of Ark Culture. The results of the several dramas he filmed before were also acceptable.

With the launch of the "Dark Ones 2" project this time, it can be expected that revenue will increase significantly this year.

Ark Culture launched two film and television projects at the same time.

"Dark Ones 2" has been confirmed to be a customized drama by Pea Video Mist Theater, so part of the crew team uses the team of Pea Video.

"Ancient Acacia" is a small-investment web drama, requiring a smaller crew.

Therefore, it is absolutely no problem to shoot two projects together.

Because the first part of "Dark One" was a well-received drama with a score of 8.2, and it has been in development for more than a year.

The audience is looking forward to "Dark Ones 2" very much.

Therefore, after the official announcement of the production of this drama, it aroused many discussions among netizens and viewers, and it was once on the hot search list.

Moreover, "Dark Ones 2" is the first film and television drama that Fang Xing has participated in since announcing his break, which also attracted the attention of many people.

Since Fang Xing has not filmed a drama or released a song for more than a year, he has almost disappeared from the public eye.

If entertainment reporters hadn't occasionally published some news about Fang Xing's daughter Qian Qian, the public would have almost forgotten about this person.

"Dark Ones 2" was officially announced and the entertainment media immediately rushed to report on it.

["Dark Ones 2" is officially launched, and Fang Xing appears in the public eye again. Is this a signal of his official return? It’s better to make some soy sauce and continue to rest. 】

[Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er's daughter Qianqian is one and a half years old. She has been living in her hometown of Baitang Town, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? 】

[Fang Xing disappeared for a year and a half, Ark Culture’s revenue declined, and it finally revealed what a film and television company should be like. 】

Under these entertainment gossips, many netizens discussed:

[In the past few years, Ark Culture was a bit ridiculously strong. Now is normal. 】

[One thing to say is that the development of Ark Culture is not bad, and most of the new film and television dramas are profitable. 】

[It is true that most of Ark Culture’s projects are profitable, but the company’s profits are not very high. After all, there is a Nebula special effects gold-eating beast, and all the money earned is used to burn special effects. 】

[The special effects company is spending money, but now the special effects of many dramas on Wandou Video are made by Nebula Special Effects. Judging from the level of the special effects, they are pretty good. 】

[In the film and television industry, special effects companies really burn a lot of money, especially in the early stage. Ordinary companies simply cannot support this kind of money-burning method. Ark Culture has developed rapidly in the past few years and has produced nearly ten hit dramas. Only then did I hold on. 】

[How long will Fang Xing be able to rest? I've been out of action for a few years. 】

[Even if the TV series is not filmed, it doesn’t even have a song. The songs that are popular now are all weird stuff. 】

[Now this guy has his wife and children on the hot bed, how can he think about filming a drama. 】

[Aren't you currently filming a movie called "Ancient Acacia"? 】

[The director of "Ancient Acacia" is Wang Yutao, the former assistant director of Fang Xing. 】

[Speaking of which, it’s not a bad idea to follow deputy director Fang Xingdang. First, Zhang Yigao was brought out, and now Wang Yutao is also going to make a feature film. 】

[It’s hard to say, just by looking at the introduction of “Ancient Illusion”, the ancient puppets are not like ancient puppets, the suspense is not like suspense, and there is also the content of time travel, so it might be a bad movie. 】

[I'm not very optimistic about "Acacia". Wang Yutao seems to have a good resume, but he has always been an assistant director. He has never directed a feature film independently. It is his first time filming an online drama. It is still unknown whether he can make it well. . 】

[Not only is the director new, the actors are also new, a lot of whom I have never heard of. Even the heroine is a little-known 18th-tier actor. If there is any advantage, it is that the heroine is quite beautiful. 】

[The heroine of "Ancient Lovesickness" is indeed beautiful, especially the red dress in the final makeup photo, it really struck me. 】

…

in the voice of online public opinion.

The two projects "Dark Man 2" and "Acacia" are being filmed in an orderly manner.

Fang Xing would check in on the status of the two projects every week, focusing mainly on the filming of "Ancient Acacia".

After all, Zhang Yigao is already a mature director, and he filmed the first part of "Dark Man". The investment in the sequel has increased a lot, and with his ability, he can control it.

It was Wang Yutao's first independent feature film, so Fang Xing paid more attention to it.

The filming of "Ancient Acacia" went quite smoothly, and the shots produced were also very good.

Wang Yutao is good at shooting beautiful scenes, and this time "Ancient Acacia" is based on B-level investment, with an investment of 40 million.

Actors only account for a small portion of the film's pay, so most of the money is spent on costumes and scenery.

Therefore, the quality of the pictures taken is very good.

At least it can be seen that the crew is not that poor.

…

Qianqian is one and a half years old and can already speak a few complete sentences.

When he sees Fang Xing, he opens his little hands and shouts inarticulately: "Daddy, give me a hug."

Sometimes, Fang Xing teases her and pretends to run away.

Qian Qian still took steps, staggered to catch up, and hugged Fang Xing's legs.

Since Qian Qian can walk, it has become more fun.

The remote control car Fang Xing bought was controlled from the back.

Qian Qian chased the car in front, laughing loudly.

When she was tired from running, Fang Xing would control the car again and drive back, swinging in front of her.

Qian Qian always picked up the car directly, then turned around and ran back, stuffing it back into Fang Xing's hands.

The joy does not last forever.

Unknowingly, Qianqian is already two years old, and her speech is becoming more and more fluent.

Moreover, she inherited the musical talents of Fang Xing and Lu Xiang'er and loved music. Every time a song was played on TV, she would jump up and down and hum along.

Suddenly one day, she wanted her father to take her out to play, so she ran up to her and started humming: "Dad, dad, where are we going..."

…

The filming of "Dark Ones 2" and "Acacia" has also ended.

"Dark Ones 2" is still in the late stages of production.

Due to the small number of episodes of "Ancient Acacia", the post-production has been completed and is confirmed to be broadcast on Pea Video.

Because Wang Yutao, the director of "Ancient Acacia", made a feature film for the first time.

Even though the screenwriter was signed by Fang Xing, the major video websites did not spend a lot of money to compete for it.

Of course, some video websites still asked.

After all, Fang Xing participated in this web drama. Although he didn't participate much, there were still video websites who wanted it.

Both Penguin Video and Xiangtao Video have been contacted and inquired about the price of "Ancient Acacia".

Fang Xing had decided from the beginning to use the CPM split model, and the split was 70%.

70% account sharing, not all TV series can get such a high account sharing ratio.

Usually, only popular TV series can get such a high share ratio.

Among the TV series that Fang Xing filmed before, except for "Wulin Gaiden", all other dramas have a 70% split, and even the video website has a guarantee.

At that time, it seemed that a habit had been formed. The standard for Ark Culture dramas was 70% split.

However, this is not an industry standard.

In the film and television industry, B-level dramas can basically only get 50% of the split ratio offered by video websites.

Even sometimes A-level investment dramas can only get 50%.

Only with S-level investment and a strong creative lineup will video websites offer a 70% account sharing ratio.

Just looking at the cast of "Ancient Lovesickness", the director is a newcomer and the actors are either newcomers or 18th-tier young actors.

Among the entire creative team, only Fang Xing's name is valuable.

Therefore, Penguin Video and Xiangtao Video wanted to buy the show because of Fang Xing's name, but they would not offer a high price.

Therefore, "Ancient Acacia" was finally broadcast on Pea Video, and a revenue-betting split agreement was signed.

The total revenue of "Ancient Acacia" is more than 100 million, and the accounts are divided according to 70%.

If the total revenue does not reach 100 million, the account will be divided according to 50%.

"Ancient Acacia" is a Class B investment with a total investment of 40 million.

This investment is sufficient for a 14-episode TV series, so the quality of the pictures produced is very good.

However, according to industry professionals, it is not easy for this drama to achieve a total revenue of 100 million.

After this drama is scheduled to air.

Wang Yutao began to take the creative team everywhere to promote the film.

Ark Culture still has connections, so the creative team has appeared on many TV shows for promotion.

Of course, road shows are also indispensable.

Wang Yutao goes on road shows almost every day.

However, the main actors are really not famous. In the entire cast list, there is only one name that can attract the attention of entertainment reporters.

Therefore, most of the questions from the entertainment reporters who came to the road show and conducted interviews were about Fang Xing's situation.

Reporter: "Director Wang, have you ever visited Fang Xing's hometown?"

Wang Yutao: “I’ve been there.”

Reporter: "Have you seen Qian Qian?"

Wang Yutao: "I've seen it. However, please don't ask Qianqian-related questions. This is Director Fang's privacy. Please give the child some space."

Reporter: "Is it because Fang Xing lives in his hometown because he doesn't want his daughter to be exposed to the entertainment industry?"

Wang Yutao: "I haven't asked about this matter, so I don't know."

Reporter: "Has Fang Xing participated in the filming of "Ancient Acacia"?"

Wang Yutao: "I discussed the script with Director Fang, and he was very helpful in the filming of this drama."

Reporter: "When will Fang Xing return to filming dramas?"

Wang Yutao: "This... I'm not very clear about it either. However, Director Fang has no plans for a TV series in the near future."

Reporter: "The production of "Dark One 2" is also finished next door. Do you know anything about "Dark One 2"?"

Wang Yutao: "One thing is that after the filming of "Ancient Acacia" was completed, I went to visit Director Zhang's crew."

Reporter: "What do you think of the filming of "Dark Ones 2"?"

Wang Yutao: "Well...can we talk about "Ancient Acacia"?"

Reporter: "What do you want to talk about "Ancient Acacia"?"

Wang Yutao was a little speechless. It was obviously a promotional event for "Ancient Acacia".

However, the questions asked by reporters were either about Fang Xing or "Dark One 2".

However, it is normal for this to happen.

After all, apart from Fang Xing, no one in the main creative team of "Ancient Acacia" is famous.

The previous work of "Dark Ones 2" was once a hit drama, so the public and reporters naturally paid more attention to it.

…

The publicity effect of "Ancient Acacia" is relatively average, after all, the main creative team is not famous.

The people that reporters follow do not participate in promotional activities. The number of entertainment reporters who come to each promotional event is very small.

It seems that the premiere time of "Ancient Acacia" is getting closer.

Wang Yutao is worried that the show will be too popular when it first airs.

After all, this is his first independent feature film. If it fails, it will be even more difficult for him to wait for such an opportunity in the future.

Therefore, there is still one week left before the premiere of "Ancient Acacia".

Wang Yutao called Fang Xing: "Boss, the publicity effect of "Ancient Acacia" is not very good, and it cannot become popular.

"Can you participate in a promotional event? Help to increase the popularity.

“If you really don’t have time, you can just post on Weibo to promote it.”

When Fang Xing heard about this, he agreed: "Okay, let Mr. Qiao find a place to hold a launch conference. When the time comes, I will be there to participate."

"Okay, okay, thank you." Wang Yutao suddenly became excited after hearing this.

"What's there to thank you for? I'll call Mr. Qiao later. Just prepare yourself and try to have all the leading actors present." Fang Xing said.

"No problem, I guarantee that all the leading actors will be present." Wang Yutao immediately confirmed.

Later, Fang Xing called Qiao Yinghong to arrange the launch conference of "Ancient Acacia".

The next day, Ark Culture announced the launch press conference of "Ancient Acacia".

Moreover, it was clearly stated that Fang Xing would attend this press conference.

As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar in the major entertainment media.

Because this is the first time Fang Xing appears after disappearing from public view for two years.

Let's not talk about whether Fang Xing's popularity can return to its peak when he appears again, but the topic is definitely full.

Therefore, all major entertainment media have begun to prepare to attend the launch conference of "Ancient Acacia".
