China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 71 New Book
During lunch, He Hua asked Zhang Jing: "Do you have a specific broadcast plan?"

Zhang Jing shook her head and smiled:

"What are you in a hurry for? It's just been submitted for review. I'll contact the TV station to watch the drama when there's no problem."

Seeing that He Hua was still a little unwilling to continue asking, Zhang Jing continued:
"Anyway, I will definitely find a few more local satellite TV sub-channels to broadcast, and then go to the stars."

These are the basic operations of the current drama crews. For example, "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is first broadcast on Taizhou TV Station, Zhejiang Education Technology Channel and other local stations or sub-channels, and then it is broadcast on AH Satellite TV.

Although the local stations are not as rich and powerful as CCTV Satellite TV, they cannot support the large base. Selling a few more stations is also a considerable amount of income.

Moreover, the coverage of the local sub-channels is relatively small, only within the scope of the city. Although the local channels broadcast it first, it basically has little impact on satellite TV or CCTV that faces the whole country.

Satellite TV and CCTV can also take the opportunity to see the quality of the show and the audience's response, before deciding whether to buy it or not.

But He Hua is a little dissatisfied with this kind of operation. Now it is not the same as before. Good dramas are broadcast on local stations, slowly gaining word of mouth, and then go to the stars and get higher ratings.

Now is the Internet age, a celebrity blog post can get millions of views.

You broadcast it on a local station, and then netizens can immediately spread the plot everywhere, and what’s more, it will be directly uploaded to the video website for you, and you can watch it after downloading, which will definitely affect the star ratings.

Especially for dramas like "Latent", which rely on plot to win, it has a greater impact.

But there were many people eating together, He Hua didn't want to refute Zhang Jing's face, so he held back.

After dinner, He Hua took the time to discuss this issue with Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing also frowned after hearing this: "Then what do you want to do?"

He Hua suggested:

"We will go directly to Satellite TV, and we will have a few more. We will only sell one round, and then we will sell the second round after the second round is finished. As long as the ratings of the first round are high, we don't have to worry about the price."

Zhang Jing sat there thinking and thinking, but she didn't say that if the ratings in the first round were low, she would still be able to tell if a TV series was good or bad after nearly 10 years of experience.

She also felt that what He Hua said made sense. Thinking about how He Hua only replied to a netizen's message last time, which caused a lot of media reports, she made up her mind, looked at He Hua and said:
"I will invite several familiar satellite TV stations to watch it, and if the price is right, I will do so."

After saying this, she immediately changed the subject:
"But you have to make sure to follow up with the publicity, and the crew will be the most famous."

He Hua's face immediately turned bitter, but there was nothing he could do. This was his first play, it was very important, and he was the one who suggested it, so he could only nod.

The two of them didn't say anything about the rest, and everything will be discussed after the review is passed.

During the period of waiting for the review, He Hua was free again. Huang Lan and Zhang Kaizhou were also watching the preparations for the crew of "Little Chef", so He Hua didn't need to worry about it.

So he started to go back to his old business, chatting with netizens on the Internet and spanking.

For example, today he wrote a diary on his blog to recommend "Soldier Assault":
"There is no ups and downs of fate, no experience of flying guns and guns, no rewards of glory, but only the bounden duty of a soldier: obey orders."

Some netizens in the background couldn't stand it: Don't talk about it, we can't see it again!

There are also Shaanxi netizens who are complaining: It is really good-looking, and I cried when Shi Jin was crying in the car.

So He Hua chatted enthusiastically with some netizens from Shaanxi, which directly aroused public outrage.

A netizen no matter where He Hua replied, he frantically swiped below:

"What about the new book? Why haven't you released a new book? Are you free to chat here, but not open a new book?"

It made He Hua unable to chat with them normally, and this behavior quickly attracted a large number of netizens to follow suit, so He Hua's backstage was directly swiped by this sentence.

He Hua had no choice but to write a log reply:

"Unified reply: The new book has been conceived, it is a historical suspense subject, please wait patiently."

That's right, He Hua decided to put his previous idea into practice, which is to adapt "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" into a novel.

The next day, He Hua went to the bookstore to buy a lot of reference materials, such as "New Tang Book" and "Old Tang Book" of the 24th History, as well as "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", "Tong Dian", "Two Capitals of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and other books.

Of course He Hua knew that the TV series was adapted from a novel, and he even knew that he might not be able to write 80.00% of the original novel, but he still wanted to try.

People always have to challenge their own limits.

He Hua wants to write this book well and make it a masterpiece of his own.

In the following days, with the help of these materials, He Hua tried to think about the intention of the original author Ma Boyong in writing.

For example, why is Tianbao three years this node?Isn't Tianbao four or five years or the last year of the dynasty?

He Hua did not find a detailed introduction to this year in all the materials, which means that this year was calm and no major events happened, so why did Uncle Ma choose this year?
He Hua, troubled by this thought, pondered hard for several days before he realized it while watching the news:

"It is precisely because this year is peaceful that I chose it. It seems that a series of major events are hidden under the dust of history, and the quiet ones have the most stories."

He Hua was so excited by this idea that he couldn't calm down for a long time:

"Yes, that's the way it is, it must be so."

Next, He Hua encountered a second problem:
"These watchtowers are more convenient than the telegraph, the lanterns are more powerful than the flame-breathing tanks, and the standardized work procedures are stricter than those of today's enterprises, which obviously exceed the level that an agricultural society should have."

"Then what is the intention of the author to make such a setting?"

Watchtower, he can understand, what is the gap between ancient and modern society in handling cases?The most important thing is the speed of information dissemination.

In modern society, there are satellites, Skynet, and telephones, and it is very convenient to collect and transmit information.

What about ancient times?There is nothing, relying entirely on human horsepower to transmit information, the twelve hours are not enough, so the original author set up a "watchtower" to help him transmit information.

"What about the lanterns and workflow?"

He Hua kept the question in his mind and continued to read the materials.

Not long after, He Hua saw a piece of historical material:
"In the 11th year of Emperor Xuanzong's Tianbao, someone secretly reported that Yin Wangjian and Xing Yu of the Jingzhao Prefecture conspired to rebel. They planned to send people to burn Chang'an, causing chaos in the East and West Markets, and then took the opportunity to kill Prime Ministers Li Linfu, Chen Xilie, and Jiannan Jiedu envoy Yang Guozhong."

He Hua suddenly realized:

"The ancients also believed that the fire could burn Chang'an, so this lantern." I understand, there must be something.

Immediately He Hua found out that oil was discovered at the end of Tang Dynasty:
"So the reason for the fierce fire of the lantern is the use of oil, I understand." He Hua shook his fist vigorously.

The last big copywriting achieved through a standardized workflow.

He Hua has been studying this thing for a week, but he really can't understand it. He can only explain it as a setting similar to 'internal force'.

It can help the author build this more modern story, integrating modern city defense systems, gangsters, terrorists, and counter-terrorism agencies into ancient agricultural society.

So far, He Hua has spent 20 days to understand the background and setting of the story of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an".

For the rest, we have to dig out a little bit in the creation.
