716 [Restructuring]

After Wan Ziliang was injured and hospitalized, he only got a half-day rest time and was then taken back to the set.

Because his foot was sprained and he could not walk normally, all the scenes of walking were changed to sitting on the show or filmed by a stand-in.

Because in the 1980s, TVs were generally small in size, even 20 inches were large pieces. The resolution was also very poor. Not to mention 1080p HD, it is estimated that even 360p quasi-high definition cannot be achieved, so it is still easy to get confused with a substitute.

After filming this, they covered up for three days and finally finished all fifty episodes of "The Unforgiven". After filming, Wan Ziliang, Zeng Weiquan, Chen Xiuwen, Zheng Wenya and others all had a serious illness and were sent to the hospital for rest.

Although a large number of people were exhausted, the results achieved by "The Unforgiven" were worth it.

After the broadcast of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", the ratings have always been very high, and even compared with powerful dramas like "The Legend of the Secret Bamboo", they are still not inferior.

It lasted fifty episodes and played for thirty days. In addition, it was played for thirty episodes of "My Fair Princess", and it was also played for thirty days. It lasted for sixty days, which lasted for two months.

In two months, the two popular dramas and the high ratings gradually reversed; the audience's ratings inertia made the audience re-accept Asian TV.

This is the biggest gain for ATV, not to mention the tens of millions of advertising expenses increased as the ratings rise.

...

Liang Shuyi was also very happy about this hard-earned victory, so she happily called Ye Jin to report the good news.

After Ye Jin learned the news, he was also very happy.

His main purpose of acquiring ATV was not to make money. In fact, even a TVB that was the dominant TV station in his previous life made a profit of only 17.8 billion Hong Kong dollars a year, which is about 200 million US dollars. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is indeed much, but for him, any investment he has may be more profitable than this.

His main purpose is to use Asian TV to sway the flag and cheer for himself. ATV is one of the only three TV stations in Xiangjiang, with a viewership covering many regions such as Xiangjiang, Macau, and eastern Guangdong, with a population of more than 30 million.

In comparison, the number of newspapers sold in Xiangjiang is only sold in each issue of 200,000. A TV station has an influence that is better than dozens of print media.

Ye Jin has so many business in Xiangjiang, which requires publicity, promotion, public relations, and once bullied, he also needs channels to speak out. ATV can just meet his requirements.

Therefore, the higher the ratings of ATV and the greater the influence, the more beneficial it will be to him.

In fact, not only Ye Jin wanted to acquire the media as his mouthpiece. In his previous life, Nanyang sugar king Guo Heren acquired the South China Morning Post. Li Chaoren and his son Li Chaoren founded satellite TV, and Bao Jinshui's son-in-law founded Hutchison Cable TV...

...

"Mr. Liang, I did not choose the wrong person. You did a very good job." Ye Jin praised with a smile, and then appointed an official to make a wish, "If you want any reward, just speak up. As long as I can do it, I will never give up."

"No need, Mr. Ye. It's not just me who can achieve such results this time, but everyone has made great efforts. For example, the stars of Wan Ziliang, Zeng Weiquan, Chen Xiuwen, Zheng Wenya, etc., have been hiking for a show and haven't slept for several days and nights. They are still recuperating in the hospital. How can I ask for your reward alone?" Liang Shuyi said modestly.

When Ye Jin heard this, he frowned.

Although he had heard that working in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang was very hard, he felt a little unbearable for a moment when he heard so many people were hospitalized due to a show.

He is acceptable to work overtime. Some actors lack schedules, so they give three or four days. If they expire, they can only work overtime and finish their scenes first. Some set schedules are too full, so they only give two days to shoot, so they can only work overtime to avoid missing the schedule; some set schedules are set too tight, so that in order to complete them in time, they also need to work overtime to shoot...

However, it is understandable to work overtime occasionally. However, it is too terrifying to work overtime for a long time like ATV, which is not able to get a serious rest for several days or nights. To be honest, it is simply a bribery of life.

When Ye Jin was not popular, he also tried filming in a row and couldn't have a good rest for a few days and nights. The feeling of being extremely sleepy and exhausted was really more uncomfortable than death. He tried it once, but he didn't want to have a second time.

However, ATV has hundreds and thousands of people who have to endure such pain in order to play the show, which is really cruel.

"Mr. Liang, don't work overtime to film like this in the future. No one is a must-have. If you do this, you will get into trouble sooner or later." Ye Jin suggested to Liang Shuyi.

TVB is known for its high work intensity. Many actors have tried filming in a row, which has caused many people to get sick and hospitalized, and even pay the price of their lives.

"Mr. Ye, I actually don't want it either. But now is an extraordinary period. Wireless TV launched [Infinite Theater] to play two TV series in a row. If we want to maintain the ratings, we can only broadcast two episodes in a row, and there is no other way." Liang Shuyi saw that Ye Jin was quite accusing, and hurriedly defended herself.

"I agree with the two-episode continuous broadcast, but I think the form of filming and broadcasting needs to be changed." Ye Jin thought for a while and said, "The series that will be broadcast in the future will be broadcast after the production is completed."

The two-episode TV series is indeed helpful for viewership. In fact, mainland TV stations also have two-episode TV series, one episode at 7:30 and one episode at 8:30. By 9:30, most people should have a rest.

However, ATV's format of filming and broadcasting while filming is too fatal. It takes two episodes a day to shoot, and the production intensity is too great.

You should know that although American, Japanese, and Korean dramas are also filmed and broadcast at the same time, they are broadcast weekly, and only one episode will be broadcast in a week. So there is a week to fully produce it. ATV has two episodes a day, and its work intensity is fourteen times that of others. Even the iron man can't withstand such destruction.

What's more, the form of filming and broadcasting was actually gradually eliminated later. In America, many dramas were produced in advance and then broadcast one by one.

For example, "Brothers", "Pacific War", "Game of Thrones" launched by HBO are all produced in advance and released one after another.

&flix even launched the series in one go after it was completed, such as "House of Cards", "Women's Prison", "Marc Polo", "Hemlock Grove", etc.

The reason for this is that the investment in American dramas is getting bigger and bigger and more excellent in production. For example, the cost of one episode of "Game of Thrones" is as high as tens of millions of dollars. The grand scenes, exquisite special effects and numerous actors are not inferior to the movie. In this case, one episode a week is not enough time, so it can only be produced in advance.
