Chapter 52 Selling Movies
After the filming of the movie is over, it does not mean that director Yu Ersan has nothing to do.
The editing is only part of it. On September 10th, Yu Ersan got the first-hand film. The entire TV series will put two samples on the last source and send them to the TV station to negotiate the price.
In addition, the dubbing is still in progress and the subtitles are in a hurry.
Compared with dubbing, subtitles are much easier. Nowadays, many subtitle grabber software can be recognized as long as the actors speak Mandarin. Of course, this is not omnipotent. Some small typos often appear, such as Ping An City, which can be captured into words with the same pronunciation as Ping An Orange. This is also the reason why some minor errors occur in subtitles in some TV series and movies.
Many times, people will automatically make up for it. Just like the author who writes novels, they often cannot find typos when reading their own novels, and they think there are no typos. However, in the eyes of readers, there are typos everywhere, because when the author is reading something, the following plot automatically appears in his mind, and he will automatically make up for it, making it difficult to find subtle mistakes.
The same is true for correcting letter errors. After hearing the sound, when you look at the letters, if you are not too obvious, you will miss it. Therefore, generally speaking, subtitle proofreading is the most time-consuming and experience-consuming.
The remaining dubbing is also the key to the quality of a drama. Dubbing refers not only to the dubbing of the actors, but also to the background music dubbing. This thing is a post-production job and is also very meticulous. It requires lip-syncing. Sometimes the actors' lip-syncing and voice appear in TV series are not in line with each other. It is usually the post-production dubbing pot, maybe it is just about the dubbing time or the full one second.
Yu Ersan held the first-cut film in his hand, without subtitles, and all the background sounds were matched. He removed the noise and was considered to have completed about 70% of the sample films and came to the Central Mother.
What did you ask? Of course, it was a movie seller!
Of course, this is not another one. After the TV series is filmed, there are three channels to choose from. The first is to sell it to a TV station. Generally, the first is to find a star-rated satellite TV station to play it and see the ratings. Moreover, there will be general contact before the filming starts. Ask who is interested. It is rare that the crew who is filming directly without any preparation. After the filming is finished, they don’t know who sells it to. Those who can invest in TV series will have some connections even if it is a fool.
However, most TV series are difficult to be on the satellite TV stations that are on the satellite TV stations. After all, these TV stations produce TV series themselves every year, and there is not much time to spare. When a large IP TV station premieres together, there will be less space for other TV series. Therefore, hundreds of TV series are filmed every year, and there are not many TV series that can be released on star TV stations, only a few dozen.
In addition, more TV series, the first round of premiere rights will be broadcast in some unknown places, such as X-hai Youth TV, Su Daqiang Public Channel, etc.
The second channel is a channel that has become popular in the past seven or eight years, that is, the online premiere. Most of these TV series are self-made online dramas, referred to as online dramas. These dramas have little investment, only a few million yuan. The shooting is relatively rough. There will be dark horses appearing every year in online dramas, achieving miracles.
But there are only a few dark horses. There are also hundreds of online dramas every year, but how many can there be more than 10 million views? However, because of the existence of some dark horses, many people have used the title of online dramas and fooled people everywhere to invest. Not to mention, there are still many people who have taken this set of tricks. Every year, many people are cheated and lost all their money in the end.
The third method is an unusual method, which is to find that the ownership of DVDs and DVDs is very low in China, and it can be said that it is basically gone, so this channel basically does not exist for current TV series, but there is still this tradition abroad, which means that the TV series charging system is mentioned again.
There are not many domestic paid TV stations. Except for the five-star sports broadcasts, some games will be charged, and the rest of the TV stations are broadcast for free, and then they make money by implanting advertisements. So people often say that TV series are inserted in advertisements in China. In recent years, a certain telecommunications have issued regulations that no advertisements are allowed in the middle of TV series, which makes it a little more comfortable to watch TV series.
However, foreign TV stations, except for some public news channels, most charge for the fees, especially TV stations with classic IPs that have been popular all the time. They will charge for the fees. If you spend money to buy this permission, you can watch it. If you don’t buy it, you won’t be able to watch it, and you can’t even use a big pot lid.
In addition, foreigners like to record TV series, and after all the broadcasts are finished, they will watch them again, which has led to a very popular DVD market in foreign countries. The DVD sales of some popular TV series are very high, and even collector's versions and collector's versions have appeared.
Of course, foreigners also like to add some things that cannot be broadcast on TV stations to DVDs. Basically, many TV series watch the versions broadcast on TV and the versions published on DVDs. I feel like watching two dramas. This is one of the crew's routines and is also a relatively successful marketing method. However, it is basically useless in China. Publishing DVDs? Hahaha, it will be like online novels, and there will be pirated copies everywhere!
The sword in Yu Ersan's hand had already been in contact with the central mother before the filming. After the filming, he would come to the central mother to release the film and signed a letter of intent, but the contract was not finalized. If the film quality of the film taken by the sword was not good, the central mother might not want it. The central mother could not afford to lose that person, even if it was invested by herself!
Yu Ersan came to the Central Mother's conference room unimpeded. A deputy director who selected the film and several staff members were in place. The most important one was the deputy director who selected the film. Basically, whether the Central Mother wants this drama or not can be decided by himself.
"Hello Master Xia!"
"Here you come! Thank you for your hard work during this period!"
"Thank you so hard that it's not enough. Isn't this afraid of letting down the expectations of investors and not taking it lightly? This time it's a first-hand film, and there are some details that have not been handled well. I'll take it over for you to see if there is any problem. The final film will be released on the 13th and 4th. I'll have to trouble Master Xia when I submit it for review!"
"Well, it's okay, let's take a look first!"
Yu Ersan nodded, gave the big hard drive to the staff, connected the projection, pulled the curtains, and as the theme song "Huaxia Military Soul" sounded, everyone was working and began to review the film!
Chapter completed!
