Rebirth of Cultural System sodu
August 21st.
The drama "Zha" has been broadcast in the ancient city for some days, although it is still being broadcast on the ancient city TV station during prime time, but its relationship with Su Jin is no longer great. The sky and earth of the ancient city are ultimately too small, and whether "Zha" will soar to the ninth heaven or remain unknown must be tested in the national market.
Unfortunately, the current situation makes Su Jin really unable to be optimistic.
"Hello, is this Director Ji of Hai Tian Tai? We are from Meng Xiang Film and Television Company. Previously, we sent our new TV series "Youth in Blossom" to your station. Do you remember?" Zheng Sen asked cautiously.
"'The Classmate'? Ah, I have some impression." Director Ji on the other end of the phone replied after a moment's thought.
"Ah, so it's like this, we've already sent over 'The Scheming' for more than ten days, what are your thoughts on it?"
"Oh, this one, you should know that we have a lot of TV dramas here, and it's not your turn yet, I'll notify you after the review is done"
Director Ji hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
Zheng Sen held the phone in his hand and turned around to reveal a wry smile to Su Jin. Su Jin didn't say anything, her face just looked a bit dull.
……
"Hello, is this Director Yu of Luanfengtai? I'm Zheng Sen, Vice President of Mengxiang Film and Television Company. We sent you the script for 'Zha' more than ten days ago. What do you think of it?"
"What 'The Play' play?"
"It's our company's produced red youth drama 'The Bad Kids'!"
" 'The Bad Kids'? We didn't receive this play?"
"Didn't receive it? Impossible! We definitely sent it over. Are you looking for it in case it fell somewhere?"
"It's impossible, I personally organized all the episodes and there is absolutely no such episode. Unless I go ask the security guard."
"Alright, thank you, sorry for the trouble."
"Ah, your script has been found, I'm really sorry about that. The security guard actually used it to prop up the bed leg, how ridiculous! Let me take a look and I'll be in touch with you!"
"Uh, okay, thank you."
……
"Hello, I am Min Jingyuan from Zhijiang TV Station, who are you?"
"Hello Director Min, I am Zheng Sen, the deputy general manager of Mengxiang Film and Television Company. Our TV series "Classmates in Youth" has been sent to your company for over ten days now. Do you have any opinions on it?"
"Meng Xiang Ying Shi company? Oh, I remember now. Aren't you guys that leather bag company that just formed a few months ago? Let me tell you, making TV dramas is a serious matter, not something anyone can do."
"This is irresponsible of you towards the TV series! Who asked you to send the TV series over? I'm going to mail it back to you right away!"
"Ah? Never mind, never mind. I've already sent it over, you can take a look when you're free, no need to return it." Zheng Sen said and quickly hung up the phone, he was really afraid that Min Jingyuan would mail the drama back.
……
"Hello. Is this Director Liu of Giant TV Station? I'm Zheng Sen from Dream Movie & TV Production Co., Ltd. We've already sent over our drama 'The Right'. What do you think?"
"Is it "The Awakening" play? Oh, I see, is it that youth revolutionary play brought by Director Wang?"
"Yes, yes, it was Director Wang Yingfan who sent it over, what's your opinion?"
"Well, we've reviewed this episode and it's actually pretty good. We've decided to air it!"
"Really? When is it going to be broadcast?"
"All the schedules before next October have been arranged, I think you can arrange to broadcast it on National Day next year, great, we can welcome the 50th anniversary of the country's National Day!"
"Next year's National Day? This, Secretary Liu, isn't this time a bit too late? Can we slightly advance it? We can completely welcome the country's 49th anniversary celebration!"
"This year's National Day? Young man, there is only about a month left until National Day now. We have already made arrangements, can we still cancel the scheduled drama?"
Young people shouldn't be too ambitious, arranging it on next year's National Day is also a good choice. If it weren't for Director Wang's relationship, do you think you could grab the National Day slot? How about this, you consider it, if you agree, come sign the contract.
"Ah, alright, let's discuss this, Secretary Liu, and we'll make a decision as soon as possible."
Compared with the previous bad news, this one still has a glimmer of hope. Although unwilling, Zheng Sen did not dare to give up and carefully asked Secretary Liu to wait for a few days, they will decide immediately.
……
"Hello, is this Director Li of Xiangnan TV Station? I'm Zheng Sen, the deputy general manager of Mengxiang Film and Television Company. What do you think of our 'Qia'?"
"Alright, alright. You guys are really patient, having called over ten times already. I specifically moved your script to the front of the line for review. Overall, your script is not bad, whether it's the storytelling or the choice of subject matter. Personally, I quite like it."
"Really? That's great, because the story we're telling is originally about your Xiangnan region, so you should be able to relate to it. And as for the quality of the script, we have confidence in it too. You don't know, when it was broadcast in our local ancient city, it caused a sensation and is still being rebroadcast now, I wonder what opinions you hold?"
"Alas, the play is a good one, but whether it has ratings or not is another matter. You don't know, this year our station has made big changes, everything has to be based on ratings, so when your play was reviewed at the station, it was rejected."
"What? How can this be?! We're a red-hot youth drama, innovative in genre and nationwide in scope, our ratings are definitely not a problem!"
"How the ratings are isn't up to you or me, it ultimately depends on the market. Now audiences generally feel aesthetically fatigued towards revolutionary dramas, and the ratings aren't very high either. Moreover, precisely because your drama is innovative, the station doesn't dare to take risks."
"This is, even if it's a revolutionary drama, we're talking about the leaders of your Xiangnan, your audience should have resonance with that?"
"Although he is the leader of our Xiangnan, there are so many revolutionary leaders in our Xiangnan. If all the dramas about these leaders were to be broadcast, how could we finish broadcasting them? Alright, that's it, I have other things to do and won't say more."
He put down the phone and Zheng Sen sighed, saying: "Xiangnan was originally our most hopeful place, I didn't expect it to be like this."
Su Jin didn't bat an eyelid, and smiled faintly: "No rush, anyway there are still eight provincial TV stations, twelve municipal TV stations, let's call them one by one to see. Maybe there will be good news!"
