Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 128 Earthy Collision

In the office, she was discussing with Xia Yuan what the next plan should be.

For example, how to broadcast the program after post-production is completed.

Since this drama is a sitcom and it’s about the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the post-production is actually very easy to do.

All you have to do is edit a series of long shots together, then do some visual polish and get the soundtrack right, and you're done.

Unlike the movies, there’s no need to worry too much.

In addition to submitting it for review and completing all post-production, it is estimated that it will be broadcast in no more than a month.

What Xia Yuan and Tang Ying are discussing now is how and where to broadcast the program after it is completed, and then make the final conclusion.

"Do you have any opinions?" Tang Ying looked at Xia Yuan and asked.

"My idea is that if it can be broadcast on the Internet platform, we should try to broadcast it on the Internet platform." Xia Yuan said, and he also expressed his thoughts.

After all, nowadays is the era of the Internet. It is no longer the case that you are awesome just because you broadcast on TV. Basically, everyone’s first choice is to broadcast it first on the Internet platform.

There is no way. Who still watches TV in this era? With the development of electronic products, TV has entered a final stage. Basically, the viewing rate has shrunk to a certain extent.

Even the Spring Festival Gala, which was watched by every household in the past, no longer counts the ratings in recent years, but instead counts the "percentage of viewership during each time period."

It is conceivable that if the ratings had not been so bad, why would they have changed like this?
Of course, we won’t discuss the reason for this being that the Spring Festival Gala is not performed every year. We are just using this as an example.

Just like in this era, fewer and fewer people are still watching TV, and with the popularity of digital TV, you can watch things on other video platforms even on TV.

So, why do people choose to watch it on satellite TV instead of on the platform?
This has resulted in a very awkward situation for TV stations today, with TV stations no longer being the first choice after filming many TV series.

Xia Yuan's opinion is naturally to follow the trend of the times, broadcast on the Internet platform, contact a good platform, and sign a profit-sharing contract. This is the best choice.

As for what Xia Yuan said, putting the products on the online platform was the best choice, how could Tang Ying not know that?
It's safe to say that no one knows this better than her.

The key to the problem is that this cannot be done because she knows it very well!
Online platform?

I was so scared when I heard this. It’s even on the online platform?

With so many traffic, are you afraid that she will make too much money?
So, this route passes!

Tang Ying said, “But my idea is that we broadcast it on satellite TV.”

Satellite TV! Must be satellite TV!
"On satellite TV?" Xia Yuan was stunned.

But just when he was about to say something, Tang Ying waved her hand and said, "I know what you want to say, but you can listen to my opinion first. Although fewer people watch TV now, satellite TV, especially satellite TV, basically still has an irreplaceable position in the hearts of Chinese people. Think about it, this is your first TV series, and the meaning is definitely different. And the key point is that after you broadcast it on satellite TV, the ratings are often the data that best reflects the quality of a TV series itself.

Think about it, we made this drama just to test the waters, right? "

"Yes." Xia Yuan nodded.

"Didn't I tell you that when making a film, the first thing we should consider is the work itself, not making money?" Tang Ying asked seriously.

"Yes." Xia Yuan nodded again.

"Then what are you still hesitating about?" Tang Ying asked, "Don't we have any chances in the future? Don't you want to see your true level? As a director, don't you want to see your work being broadcast on a satellite TV station?"

"I do." Xia Yuan nodded.

"And you have to listen to me, I have a big move that you don't know about!" Tang Ying said seriously.

"Oh." Xia Yuan nodded in confusion.

Although he didn't understand, he always felt that it made sense.

And to be honest, if you ask him whether he wants to go the satellite TV route, he definitely does, even though the market trend is determined not to be with traditional satellite TV.

But as my classmate said, for a director, who doesn’t want to see his or her work being broadcast on TV?
And indeed, this drama is just a test work.

Even Xia Yuan himself couldn't guarantee what kind of commercial effect he would achieve in the end.

In fact, he has already prepared to lose money and fail. There is nothing he can do, the whole network is not optimistic about him, nor is it optimistic about this new work.

Naturally, he will be affected a little.

Until now, what the senior student said helped him find some direction.

Yes, why does he care so much about it? It's just a test run. Isn't it good to use the most traditional platform and the most initial data to see how good he is?
Besides, when have I ever missed the advice given by my senior schoolmate?

And just as my senior sister said, this is going to be a big move!
What are you waiting for?

"Okay, wife! I'll listen to you!"

“Working time!!”

"Okay, boss! It's decided!!"

"Humph!"

They acted as soon as they said it. After some persuasion from Tang Ying, they officially decided to abandon the online platform for "Underground Traffic Station" and broadcast it exclusively on satellite TV!

Nonsense, this must be broadcasted exclusively! Just find a satellite TV station with the worst data to broadcast it, and then quietly release it without any publicity.

Who the hell could know?
If no one watches it, then we will definitely lose money, right?

In the end, after her selection, this failed TV station quickly chose its target.

First of all, after the news that "Underground Traffic Station" was looking for partners to broadcast it spread, a group of TV stations soon contacted Heye Film and Television.

The list includes Xiangjiang TV, also known as Mango TV, Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, Xinhai TV, also known as Starfish TV, and Qilu TV.

When Tang Ying was making her choice, what stood out was her decisiveness. She eliminated the first few TV stations without any hesitation.

Damn, Mango TV? Don't you have a clue about your status? It's the best TV station in China, and its ratings are still terrible even now. Why do you want to make money on it?

I didn’t even consider Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV, which is also one of the mainstream satellite TV stations, so I just passed it.

Xinhaitai, there are too many acquaintances here and it’s quite big, so I’ll pass!

Then there is only one last option left.

This is also Tang Ying's most satisfying choice.

They didn't even submit their applications on their own initiative, but were invited by Tang Ying.

Qi! Lu! Taiwan!
In fact, Qi and Lu are a big and strong province in Hanxia. They are strong in all aspects and have a pivotal position. They are also the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, but!
The problem is that their TV station is a bit hard to describe.
In the early years, Qilu TV was indeed pretty good, but as time went on, they seemed to be getting more and more shabby. Other TV stations were seeking transformation, and each had walked out of their own path, but they were the only ones who were still standing still, following the old routine, and it was even becoming more and more abstract.

Other TV stations have a large number of superstars, all kinds of high-end programs, and the programs are also interesting.

But what about them?
A frequent visitor to the abstract zone of ghosts and animals, the base camp of infertility hospitals, and one of the TV stations with the worst ratings in the country.

It is equivalent to the short video platform in TV stations and is famous for its earthy flavor.

This is the choice Tang Ying made after careful consideration.

Just ask yourself, why is such a shoddy TV series chosen to be broadcast on such a TV station?

Taiwan is filled with all kinds of TV commercials without any license, all kinds of panaceas, all kinds of miracle drugs, all kinds of miracle doctors, and all kinds of old prescriptions are launched one after another. Today it's Hongmao Medicinal Wine, tomorrow it's Xiong's old prescription, and the day after tomorrow it's about infertility to XXX. Either don't pay 1998 or 998, just 99 yuan, and take you home healthy and happy. The length of the commercials starts at one hour.

It's you, look?

This is a TV station that is cursed even by the local people of Qi and Lu.

"It's a sure thing!" Tang Ying selected the TV station and laughed until she was numb.

Is it unstable? It's quite stable, isn't it?
As for the big chess? The big move?

She had a big chess game, just to fool Xia Yuan.
