Chapter 999: First Contest

General Administration of Culture.

"Director Ye, this is the approved TV series."

"Put it on the table first." Ye Wen was handling work.

The secretary put down the file and closed the door to go out.

Ye Wen was holding a plan in her hand, which was a drama solicitation activity for next year.

Since the previous drama solicitation was successful, the General Administration of Culture has organized an activity every year.

On the one hand, it is to encourage major entertainment companies to actively create good works, improve the level of domestic TV series, and allow audiences to see better works.

On the other hand, it is also to convey the above meaning.

The planning of the drama solicitation activity has just begun, and the time of holding and the type of theme have not yet been determined.

The plan in her hand can only be regarded as a rough plan. After finishing the work in hand, she picked up the file sent by the secretary and read it.

There are ten TV series on the list that have passed the review, three of which are this year, and the rest will be broadcast next year.

"I hope there will be a hit drama." Ye Wen looked at the list in her hand and was very emotional, thinking of "The Long Season", the achievements of this TV series are beyond doubt, and it has become the TV series with the highest ratings this year. The gap between the TV series and the second TV series in terms of viewership is huge.

Many countries in East Asia and Southeast Asia are interested in the potential of this TV series and want to purchase the rights to broadcast "The Long Season".

Ye Wen is happy to see this happen. TV series can be valued by other countries and help export foreign culture.

Whether it is a TV series or a movie, she hopes that there will be more and more excellent works like this.

Ye Wen took a quick look and found that the departments below had approved it, so she signed it directly.

The phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, Ye Wen quickly answered the call.

The caller was the big boss above.

"Okay, I know, I will arrange the work here."

Ye Wen put down the phone and took a deep breath, with a lot of questions in her mind.

On the phone, the big boss said that he would leave for New York early tomorrow morning to attend an extremely important meeting. As for what the meeting was, she didn't ask much.

The big boss would go together, and the specifications of the meeting must be extremely high. All she had to do was to arrange the work in the bureau before leaving.

Ye Wen called the secretary to the office and arranged: "The document has been signed, take it back, notify the heads of each department, and go to the conference room for a meeting in 20 minutes."

"Yes, Director Ye."

Ye Wen took out a notebook and listed the things to do in the next few days.

Soon, the heads of each department came to the conference room. Everyone's face was confused. Today's meeting was too sudden, and they didn't know what happened.

"Do you know what's going on?"

"Not sure, I'm having a meeting for the department."

"Wait and see, you'll know what's going on when Director Ye arrives."

Ye Wen took the notebook to the conference room: "Are all the people here?"

"Everyone is here."

"Okay, let's make it short. I'm going to New York early tomorrow morning. There's a meeting there. I'll be away for a few days. I'll assign you tasks for the days I'm away." Ye Wen opened the notebook and said, "First of all..."

Everyone also quickly took out a pen and wrote down their tasks.

The leader's affairs are too far away for them, and they don't need their own connections.

In the evening.

At Ye Wen's home.

"Why is it so sudden?" Chen's father asked, packing things in his hands.

"I don't know. I suddenly received a call while I was at work this morning. I'm on a flight tomorrow morning." Ye Wen was looking for clothes in the cupboard.

After get off work, Ye Wen did not stay at the General Administration of Culture to work overtime as usual. She returned home early, which caught Chen's father off guard. He hadn't even cooked dinner yet.

"Are you going alone?"

"No, I'm going with the leader."

Chen's father put the folded clothes into the suitcase: "It should be something very important. The big leaders are all there."

Ye Wen hummed: "Before, such important meetings would be notified in advance. This time it was so sudden, it must be a big deal."

When the couple was packing up, Chen Ye opened the door and saw the bag his mother had put on the cupboard: "You came back quite early today."

After changing into slippers, he said loudly; "Dad, Mom."

At this time in the past, his father would have been in the kitchen preparing dinner, but today there was no one.

"In the room." Chen's father's voice came from the bedroom.

Chen Ye came to the room and asked in confusion: "What are you doing? Are you going on a trip?"

"Your mother is going to New York tomorrow morning."

"Going to New York?" Chen Ye asked: "What are you going to do in New York?"

Ye Wen replied: "Going to a meeting there."

"Meeting? What kind of meeting?"

"I don't know. I received a notice today and I have to leave tomorrow morning."

Chen Ye came to help and packed things together: "We just received the notice today and we are leaving tomorrow. It's too sudden."

Ye Wen found a formal dress from the closet: "It's not too sudden. I received the notice a day in advance and I can prepare."

"Will it be the same when I go abroad this time as it is in China?"

Put the clothes in the suitcase: "Almost, I won't stay there for too long, I will be back soon."

Father Chen reminded: "Check carefully again to see if there is anything you haven't brought? ID card, passport, we have to leave early tomorrow morning, don't leave anything behind. Xiaoye, help me check, I'll go cook."

"Everything is in this small bag, help me check, I'll see if there is anything else." Ye Wen pointed to the bag on the bed and said to her daughter.

"Is this meeting organized by the higher-ups?" Chen Ye took things out of the bag one by one.

"Meetings like today's are usually organized by the higher-ups and involve various countries, but this time not only I will go, but also the top leaders will go with me, it is probably more important."

Chen Ye was slightly stunned. Hearing that there were big leaders attending, he knew that this trip to New York for a meeting would definitely not be simple.

"All the documents for going abroad are complete." Chen Ye checked and put the various documents back into the bag one by one.

Ye Wen looked around: "All the things are complete, no need to pack."

The suitcase and the small bag were packed together, and when they set off tomorrow morning, they could just carry them with them.

After dinner, Ye Wen lay on the bed, looking at the lights above her head, slightly absent-minded, thinking in her heart what exactly is the purpose of this trip to New York?

What kind of meeting can allow her to go with the big boss above to attend?

Not to mention going to New York.

The more Ye Wen thought about it, the more she felt that this matter was not simple.

Chen's father came in after taking a shower: "Hurry up and rest, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Ye Wen nodded in agreement.

The next day.

Brilliant Entertainment Company, President's Office.

Sitting in front of the computer, Tan Yue watched some videos. The video content was a science fiction TV series shot by the company's TV series department.

The TV series is still being filmed, and the crew has not been on for long.

After all, it is a science fiction TV series, and the most important thing is the special effects in the play.

In order to check the effect, a part of the clip was made first.

After watching it carefully, Tan Yue sent a message to Qian Tao: The overall effect is not bad, but there are some places to think about how to try to improve the visual effect, which affects the viewing experience a bit.

Later, a small clip of the video was cut and sent over.

Qian Tao also replied quickly: OK, Mr. Tan, I will ask someone for advice.

Whether it is a TV series or a movie, China is short on special effects, and it is not easy to make further breakthroughs.

At this time, Tan Yue thought of someone, maybe he could ask him, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait for the result from Qian Tao, and then find a way if it doesn't work.

'Knock, knock, knock' There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Tan Yue turned off the video.

"Mr. Tan." Engineer Wu came in and sat opposite: "These are the three publicity plans discussed by our department, please take a look."

Tan Yue took the file, flipped through it, and listened to Engineer Wu's introduction.

"The first plan is basically an improved version of our previous two publicity around the world. We discussed it on the basis of the previous two times and improved some of the problems we encountered before, such as."

The publicity before the release of "The Truman Show" and "Forrest Gump" was handled by Engineer Wu himself. He knew exactly what problems he encountered in the middle, especially those countries that did not achieve the publicity effect.

Although he didn't know whether the improved promotional plan would work, he could only try it again and again.

"Let's talk about the second set." Tan Yue picked up another folder.

"The focus of the second set of promotional plans is innovation. After discussion, I think this kind of promotion should not be limited to a certain model. It's also good to try boldly."

When discussing the second set of promotional plans, many people opposed it. After all, no one had tried it and didn't know how effective it would be. But in the end, Wu Gong decided to take this set of plans and let Tan Yue make the decision.

Tan Yue still didn't speak and picked up the third set of plans.

Wu Gong continued to introduce.

"Have a drink of water."

"Thank you, Mr. Tan."

After listening to Wu Gong's introduction, Tan Yue thought for a moment and said, "For the sake of safety, use the first set of plans to promote "The Godfather."

Considering that "The Godfather" is going to compete with "Black Fire", it's better to be more stable.

Moreover, the first set of plans is a promotional plan obtained after the previous two experiences, and many details are still well done.

"Please note a few points about the first set. First," Tan Yue asked a few questions and then said, "There are several good ideas in the second set of plans. You can try them during the promotion."

Mr. Wu nodded: "Okay, I understand what you mean."

"That's all the questions. Go back and modify them."

Mr. Wu hurriedly left the office with three folders and took the elevator back to the public relations department.

Afternoon.

Editing room.

"The situation has been good in the past two days, and the speed has been much faster."

Listening to the words of the person in charge of the editing room, Tan Yue nodded and said, "The closer we get to the end, the more we can't be careless."

"Understood, everything is being edited according to the script you gave."

In fact, this type of movie is relatively easy to edit. There is basically no special effects in the later stage. All are real-life shots. The only place where they are used is some unreasonable buildings that appear in the picture.

"You continue to work, don't worry about me." Tan Yue pulled out a stool and sat aside, watching it seriously.

Now that the editing of "The Godfather" has reached the final stage, he is needed to keep an eye on it so that any problems can be solved in the first place.

The film uses the original soundtrack and also uses the actors' dubbing in the later stage.

After each shot, Tan Yue not only looks at each frame of the picture, but also listens to the tone of the actors when they speak the lines.

Many NGs are caused by sound.

"This place needs to be adjusted." Tan Yue suddenly said: "The background music in this place disappears a little too fast, extend it by two seconds."

"Okay." The editor quickly adjusted.

A good movie can always do very well in such details.

After the editor adjusted it, he restarted the playback.

Tan Yue said with satisfaction: "That's right, this time it has that flavor."

Sometimes even if it's one second off, it feels like a lot of things are missing.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

"Take a break first, and edit it later." Tan Yue said.

Watching everyone rest, Tan Yue also got up and left the editing room and returned to the office. As soon as he walked out of the elevator door, he saw Engineer Wu.

"Mr. Tan, you're back. I was just about to come to see you."

"Has the publicity plan been revised?" Tan Yue noticed the folder in Wu Gong's hand.

"Yes, it has been revised according to the requirements you mentioned. Do you think there are any problems with the current publicity plan?"

"Come with me to the office."

The two walked one after the other.

"Mr. Tan, there are a few documents on your desk."

"I'll call you after I've processed them." Tan Yue pushed open the door of the office, came to the computer, and saw the documents Chen Ye mentioned.

"If you want to drink water, go pour it yourself. I won't pour it for you." Tan Yue sat on the chair and looked through the revised folder.

"No need." Engineer Wu sat opposite: "The biggest modification in this plan is the countries that did not achieve good publicity effects before. We are going to try several more sets of publicity methods, and the methods are the more creative publicity methods in the second set of plans before."

Tan Yue agreed: "This method is good, and it can indeed be tried more in such places."

"The previous problems were well modified, and we can proceed according to this publicity plan." Tan Yue put down the documents in his hand: "You will sort it out later, send the documents to sign, and then it can be implemented later."

What he held in his hand could not be considered a formal document, after all, it was not clear whether it would satisfy Tan Yue.

Engineer Wu took the folder: "I will go back to sort it out now, and send the documents to me in a while."

"Well, go back."

Looking at Engineer Wu's figure leaving, Tan Yue looked out the window.

The promotion of "The Godfather" will soon begin, which is also the first wave of competition with "Black Fire". I don't know what the result will be.
