The news of Ian and Mango TV signing a gambling agreement quickly spread throughout the film and television industry.
This was a new thing, and most people were watching the show.
There were also people in Big Boss Wang's circle who had dark thoughts. They were waiting for Ian to fail and make a huge joke out of himself. At the same time, they would lose everything.
However…
It was a different scene in the studio of " My Own Swordsman " at the Beijing Film Studio.
"Wulin My Own Swordsman, episode 43, 11 scenes, one take, Action!”
"Alright, that's it. Hurry up and change the venue!”
"Make-up, touch up Guo Furong's makeup.”
"Turn on the lights a little more."
"Film Team A, move a little to the left. Oh, okay, right, here it is.”
"Everyone, hold on tight…"
The filming site was bustling with activity.
It wasn't just Ian and the students from the Class of 96 acting class. All the actors and crew members were holding back their anger and putting all their strength into the filming.
The efficiency of the filming was sky-high.
In just 30 days, they had filmed 40 episodes. They had a total of 60 episodes in hand, which was 20 days faster than expected!
The reason?
The pressure from Central TV became their motivation instead. When they thought about how the drama they were filming would actually be going up against Central TV's golden screen at 8 PM, the crew members actually felt honored.
If he won, it would be a solid resume!
In this day and age, the best choice would naturally be to appear on Central TV's Golden Block at 8 PM. However, if he took a step back and became Central TV's rival, wouldn't that indirectly prove that My Own Martial Arts Legend was a Central TV Golden Block show?
If you fought against a world champion, then you were also a world champion…
It was such a simple logic!
"Teacher Su."
During a break in filming, the big fan handed a glass of water to Su Ye and sat down beside him. She said softly," If our viewership ratings can't beat Central TV's, will we really not have a single cent?”
The big power was a little worried.
Central TV's prestige in people's hearts was too high these days. If they lost, the production crew might just sigh, but it was a different story for Big Power. She was really worried about what Ian would do if he lost.
200,000!
He threw it directly into the water without making a sound.
She was afraid that Ian would take things too hard if she lost…
Ian looked at the worried power and smiled."What, you don't have confidence in your Teacher Su?”
"No, no."
The power was anxious and waved his hands." Of course I trust Teacher Su the most, but..."
"But if you lose, Teacher Su, don't be discouraged. I believe in your talent!”
"Yes! When I graduate and become a big star, I'll have the money to film a TV series for Teacher Su!”
The little girl said confidently.
Ian could not help but laugh.
Alright.
You don't have much confidence in your teacher, but you're quite confident that you can become a big star.
However, Ian also knew that this was a sign that the power was concerned about him. It was not a curse for Wulin Legend to fail.
"What are you thinking!"
Ian flicked his forehead in amusement.”
"Aiya, it hurts!"
The power covered his forehead speechlessly. He was kind enough to comfort you, but you…still flicked me!
Ian took the water from the power and smiled."This is your punishment for not having confidence in Teacher Su. So what if it was Central TV? As long as Martial Arts Legend was broadcasted, it would definitely be better than Central TV!”
If it was 1998, Ian would not have dared to say that.
After all, he was the only one in the world who knew that the hit show in 1998 was Water Margins, which had a viewership rating of 78%.
It wasn't that Ian didn't want to film Water Margins.
It was…
Firstly, as a new director, he could not control such a large production team without his own team. The scale of the production team could easily reach thousands of people. The difficulty of organization and management was unimaginable for non-professionals.
To some extent, a director was not only an artist, but also the general manager of a large-scale project.
He only had 200,000 yuan on him, and he didn't even have a skilled team under him. Even if he was a transmigrator, going to a large-scale project like Water Margins would be like looking for sh * t…
On the other hand.
For a large-scale project like Water Margins, if it was broadcast in 1998, it would have been filmed in 1997.
Moreover, the project establishment and fund-raising work might have already begun in 1995.
Ian didn't have the chance to interfere even if he wanted to.
However, in 1997, Ian was completely certain that no one would be able to compete with "My Own Swordsman" once it was released.
One had to know.
" My Own Swordsman " was one of the most popular dramas in the future. It had over 10 billion views on the internet, second only to the 86th edition of " Journey to the West ".
It itself was a divine drama!
……
It was mid-September, and the summer vacation was coming to an end, but the weather was still hot.
On this hot summer night.
8 o'clock sharp.
Mango TV followed the agreement and broadcasted " My Own Swordsman " during the station's prime time.
At the same time, Central TV also released a new drama called " Magic Phone ".
The two dramas, the tip of a needle against the tip of a wheat, matched…
……
"Quick, quick, quick. It's almost 8 o'clock. Everyone's here to watch TV.”
It was 7:50 pm.
In the studio of " My Own Swordsman," everyone stopped filming for the time being. They pulled in a closed-circuit television cable and even brought in a television.
The entire production team sat in front of the television, waiting for the premiere of their television series.
"How about this? It's not interesting to just watch. Let's make a bet.”
Ian walked to the television, took out a hundred-dollar bill, and placed it on top of the television."I bet that the viewership rating for the first episode will exceed 20%. 100 dollars.”
"Wow, the director is generous!"
"100 yuan. Teacher Su is going all out.”
"But isn't 20% a little too high?”
"Bah, who would complain that their television ratings are too high! The child's words have no fear, and the wind blows them away."
The production team immediately became noisy.
"I bet 10%, 50 cents."
"10% is too low. I bet 1 yuan, 15%!”
"I'll bet 1 yuan too, 18%.”
"You guys are too lacking in confidence. 20%, 5 pieces!”
The big power generously took out five yuan…
Very quickly.
There was a pile of change on the television.
Of course, everyone was just interested in betting. No one really wanted to make money from this. It was just a lottery.
However, in the end, the only person who followed Ian's lead and bet 20% was Big Power.
Even though everyone had high hopes for " My Own Martial Arts Legend," 20%…was a little too much. With this viewership rating, it could basically be locked into the top five of the year's best!
Therefore, most people were leaning towards 15-18%.
After some commotion, the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock sharp. The TV series was about to start...
