Reborn as King [Entertainment]

If we say that since the trailer of "The Great Wilderness" was released, everyone knows that this drama will definitely explode.Well, they definitely didn't expect that "Prehistoric" would explode like this.

The first episode was aired, and the ratings of the two stars both broke one, and together they directly broke three; the kiwifruit website, which was updated simultaneously, had UV (number of unique visitors) break through 12 million at 5000:[-] that night; The top ten topics were all topics related to "Prehistoric", and on the second day during the day, there were still three topics occupying the top three positions without moving.

At the TV program trade fair at the beginning of the year, "Prehistoric" was coldly received because of the high quotation, and almost failed to sell.But even after negotiations, the first broadcast rights were sold to Mango TV and Tomato TV, Kiwi won the online broadcast rights, and the overseas distribution rights were also taken over by N Network. Added up, barely recovered two-thirds of the cost.

For this, it was labeled as a "sky-high price drama".

Ever since "Prehistoric" was sold at a loss, Zhang Bailu has been anxious, for fear that Li Yue would terminate the contract and not continue to invest in the second season.Later, when he received a call from Special Assistant Yang, saying that the funds for the second season were in place, he was completely stupid.When he saw the investment of up to [-] million, he was so excited that he burst into tears, and kept praising Li Yue in front of Lin Xuan as a promising young man with faith and dreams.

But he forgot that Li Yue, a promising young man, is essentially a businessman, how could a businessman do business at a loss.In fact, after seeing the finished film, even if Zhang Bailu sold the broadcasting rights of "The Great Desolation" at a low price at the trade fair, Li Yue would not say much.

Facts have proved that Li Yue is right.

The sensational effect caused by the broadcast of the first episode of "Prehistoric" directly caused a great chaos among major TV stations to compete for the right to broadcast the second and even the third round.Even other video sites came to join in the fun, trying to reach a cooperation agreement for the online broadcast rights of the second season in advance.Seeing this situation, Kiwi immediately sent people to negotiate, intending to bind the online broadcasting rights of "Prehistoric" to its own platform.

Through the sale of the second and third rounds of TV broadcasting rights, "The Great Desolation" has recovered all the costs, and according to the current state of being empty-handed, Zhang Bailu doesn't have to worry about the sale of the second season of "The Great Desolation". With a lot of money to buy.

This is also the reason why Li Yue wants to make "The Great Desolation" into a season series.According to the past habit of Huaguo TV series production, if the filming is completed in one go, one is that the investment is too huge, even a local tyrant like Li Yue cannot afford it; the other is that too long TV series is not conducive to overseas markets.

Due to the status of the United States in the international film and television industry, most countries are deeply influenced by it and have become accustomed to the mode of season dramas.In the past, Huaguo's TV series had to be exported overseas. Except for countries in Southeast Asia that were influenced by Huaguo's cultural circle, it was difficult for other European countries to accept the length of a Huaguo's TV series, which was often [-] or [-] episodes.In order to be able to sell, many Huaguo TV series will even specially edit a version with more than a dozen episodes to participate in international TV festivals.

Due to the active selection of season dramas, which fit the overseas market, "Prehistoric" was bought by N Network for overseas distribution rights with almost no effort.Although the price is not high, it is at least a good start. Besides, whether it is the TV premiere rights, domestic network broadcast rights, or overseas distribution rights, they are all only the price of the first season.

The show is good, are you afraid that the price will not be raised for the second season?

As for the people filming in Hengdian, the explosion of the first season of "Prehistoric" not only brought them a skyrocketing popularity, but also brought a lot of pressure.

Just like what Zhang Bailu said on the day when he got angry, the members of the crew deeply realized at this moment that if "The Great Wilderness" is so popular, and even has a posture of reaching the top, whoever messes up the second season, That would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame by the netizens, it would be considered trivial, and it is not impossible to be ridiculed to quit the circle.

Therefore, in the subsequent filming, the efficiency of the crew was unprecedentedly high, and more and more people read the original book, and the rest of the studio scenes were filmed in just three days.With a big wave of Zhang Bailu's hand, the crew moved to the location.

This time, the location shooting is different from the first season. In order to match the settlements of several major ethnic groups, multiple locations are required. Therefore, not only did the filming take place in many places, but it also traveled a very long distance, almost across the entire Huaguo mainland.

With such an intensive shooting schedule, Feijian gradually transformed external pressure into internal motivation.

Whether it is a cost of [-] million or [-] million, there is actually no essential difference. As long as he is the hero of this show, this is the responsibility he should shoulder.He only needs to do his job well as always, and others will be judged by himself.

In fact, Fei Ran figured this out on the night when he learned of the [-] million cost.Afterwards, he thought more about... How the hell did he expect Li Yue to be so rich!Although he already knew that Li Yue invested [-] million RMB in "Prehistoric", but he thought it was the total investment. If the filming was divided into seasons, it would be tens of millions per season, which was still within the conceivable range.

But [-] million for one season, tens of millions of investment for one episode... As long as Fei Ran thinks that they can buy a house in the second ring road of Beijing with the money for one episode, she feels that she will never be able to look directly at Li Yue again.

This is not a golden thigh, a whole golden body boss!

Thinking about being the only one who ruined the three views by himself is really uncomfortable, Feiran picked a good day and auspicious day when he was waiting for the show with Zhang Xiuji, and there were no idlers waiting around, and chatted with him.

"Xiuji, do you know who invested in "Prehistoric"?"

Zhang Xiuji squatted in front of the electric fan, licked the head of the popsicle without answering, "I don't know, and Director Zhang didn't say anything."

Feiran smirked twice: "You know this person."

"I know? Who is it?" Zhang Xiuji finally became interested, and turned to look at Feiran.

Feiran stared at Zhang Xiuji without blinking, and said word by word: "Li, Yue."

"Really? It's amazing... But Li Yue looks like a very powerful person, so you can imagine it." Zhang Xiuji nodded, turned his head and continued to enjoy the cool artificial wind.

"...No, why is your reaction so flat! Li Yue! You have invested [-] million yuan!" Fei Ran said madly, this reaction was completely different from what he had imagined!

"Ang, what's the matter? People are willing to invest [-] million, why are you so excited? And according to the current popularity of "The Wilderness", it shouldn't be a problem to pay back, and the second season will definitely be profitable, tsk! Let me say that Li Yue is amazing, right? The vision is really poisonous." Although he and Li Yue have become good friends, the shadow of "other people's children" is not so easy to erase, Zhang Xiuji bit the popsicle with some displeasure.

"I'm not excited... It's just that I didn't expect Li Yue to be so rich... Aren't you surprised? 7000 million, not [-] million!"

Zhang Xiuji gave Feiran a look of "you are an ignorant mortal": "Take out your phone and check Zhang's real estate."

Feiran: "..."

"My family." After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiuji took out another popsicle from the ice bag beside him, and licked it as if nothing had happened.

...How come I forgot that this is also a local tyrant!

Wanting to break the Three Views of People, instead of being shattered, he was despised by others. On the one hand, Fei Ran felt that there was nothing to love in life, and on the other hand, he also felt that being said by Zhang Xiuji, it seemed, maybe, maybe it was really not a big deal?Besides, he is also a local tyrant, so why can he face Zhang Xiuji's troubles calmly, but he cares so much about Li Yue?

Although he didn't want to understand what he was struggling with, but after being told by Zhang Xiuji, Fei Ran decided to treat Li Yue the same as Zhang Xiuji, and he immediately felt refreshed.

***

On July 7, the No.17 episode of the first season of "The Great Witch" was broadcast.

After the uncle's shaman's daughter passed away due to an accident, the only shaman in the clan who was of the right age and qualified to inherit the great shaman was Lu Ming.

Losing his beloved daughter, and because of this, he watched the power fall. Lu Ming's uncle cursed Lu Ming madly in the ancestral hall, saying that he killed his daughter. bring disaster.

Lu Ming didn't argue, just stood in the ancestral hall with his hands tied, looking at his father's tablet in silence.

Because he was not from his own clan, Pu Bai could not enter the ancestral hall, so he had to stand outside the gate.Hearing Uncle Luming's cursing, he couldn't help saying loudly: "Isn't it in line with the rules of the human race to speak obscenities in front of the ancestors! And there is no evidence, how can you slander Luming like this!"

"Little Lizi! How can you interrupt me here!"

"I am indeed not from your clan, but I am also a witch! Luming and I are not the only two witches here! You can ask, has anyone heard that Luming killed your daughter?"

The shamans in the ancestral hall, no matter they were old people over forty years old or young children, all whispered to each other.

"Did you hear that?"

"No... I couldn't hear clearly... Did you hear it?"

"I'm getting old..."

"Grandma, what are you listening to?"

"Did you hear the sound in the wind?"

"Yes, isn't there a sound in the wind every day?"

"Not that kind of..."

Lu Ming's uncle was trembling with anger, but he was powerless to argue, and finally collapsed on the ground, muttering: "It's him...I know it's him...it's him..."

With the support of all the shamans of the race, Lu Ming took over the jade formula symbolizing the great shaman, and the ceremony to formally inherit the shaman will be held tomorrow.

In order to prepare for the sacrifice, all the witches left the ancestral hall one after another, leaving only Lu Ming looking at the piles of tablets in the ancestral hall while whirling with the jade formula in his hand.The afterglow of the setting sun shone in from the gate of the ancestral hall, dyeing the entire ancestral hall orange-red, only the shadow cast by Lu Ming, whose back was facing the gate, was as bright red as blood because of the black mixed in it.

"Lu Ming, don't you want to go?" Pu Bai stuck out his head outside the door, looking at Lu Ming's back suspiciously.

"……coming."

Lu Ming put the Jade Jue on his belt, came to his uncle who was slumped on the ground, and said softly: "Uncle, Lu Ming doesn't want to be your enemy, but I must win the position of great witch. Lu Ming owes you and Zhen Zhen’s will be rewarded in the next life.”

After finishing speaking, he walked out of the ancestral hall without looking back, leaving only his mad uncle screaming.

On the second day, with the rising sun, led by the shamans of the tribe, the tribe gathered into a long river, sang sacrificial songs, and climbed to Lingshan.

Finally, on the altar of Lingshan, Lu Ming was stripped of his coat and put on the black sacrificial robe of a great witch. He stood with his hands tied in the rising sun, and sang a sacrificial song softly.

"Yi and Nayu, let me play the drum. Play the drum slips, and hold my ancestors. The grandson will play the holiday, and I will think about it..."

Accompanied by the sacrificial song, winds and clouds gathered, and the sky was full of black clouds like ink, but the sky above Lingshan was as clear as a wash, and the bright sun shone straight on the top of Lingshan, proclaiming to the world that the envoy of God would ascend the throne!
