Chapter 216 The boss of Feitian Award

Years are like smoke, passing by in the blink of an eye.

By accident, the time came to mid-November 2002.

On this night, the CCTV No. 1 Broadcasting Hall was filled with stars. Famous domestic TV drama directors, actors, and some singers and entertainers came over.

Tonight is an important day. The Feitian Awards Ceremony will be held here. The outstanding TV dramas, actors, directors, screenwriters in the mainland market last year will be commended in this hall...

In the first row of the auditorium, there were a group of big guys sitting, including Zhang Guoli, Tang Guoqiang, Wang Gang, Yang Yazhou, Li Shengyao, and Chen Shengli.

From time to time, the camera showed close-ups of the big guys in the first row. Among this group of people, Li Shengyao undoubtedly looked particularly young.

Today he wore a black suit and black leather shoes, and he looked tall and capable.

When walking on the red carpet, he came with the crew of "Da Shang Palace", including not only Hao Lei and Zu Feng, but also the two little girls Tan Songying and Jin Chen.

But everyone sat separately at the back. He came to the first row, while Zu Feng and Hao Lei sat in the third row. As for Tan Songying and Jin Chen, Li Shengyao didn't see them, so they should have gone to the auditorium at the back.

Last year, he was sitting in the third row, but this year he was in the first row, which greatly improved his status.

Moreover, on the left side of Li Shengyao are Yang Yazhou and Chen Shengli, and on the right side is Tang Guoqiang.

Although the ratings of Yang Yazhou's "Empty Mirror" last year were average, the drama had a very good reputation and many people thought Yang Yazhou would win an award this year.

Chen Shengli's "Girls" last year was also very outstanding and was favored by many people.

As for Tang Guoqiang, he is the favorite for major awards this year. He is the leading actor in the drama "The Long March".

Lee Sing-yew sat with these popular figures, and not only did the live broadcast cameras show him from time to time.

You can see many of the actors and actresses entering the venue.

Many people had surprise in their eyes.

This is the Feitian Award Ceremony. The seats are not arranged randomly. There are usually some rules.

Li Shengyao's current status is naturally high and his reputation is also good.

But for last year, although "Winter Sonata" had good domestic ratings and was a hit abroad, this romantic drama was obviously not good enough to win awards.

Lee Sheng Yew is sitting in that position, surrounded by popular people. Could it be that the Feitian Award is about surrendering to business, or is it a special commendation for Lee Sheng Yew's promotion of Chinese culture?

Li Shengyao naturally noticed it. In fact, when he just sat down, he even saw the look of surprise in Tang Guoqiang's eyes.

But now that he's here, he won't be afraid.

It’s not like he was asked to accept the Best Director or Best Work award. He was just sitting among these people, fearing a hammer.

He naturally sat down and faced the surprised looks of others calmly.

In the eyes of others, Li Shengyao seemed confident and calm at this time, and everyone speculated whether Li Shengyao had some connections that could ensure that he could win the award.

Yang Yazhou is sister Ni Ping's husband. He is tall, with a Chinese character face and a lot of hair. He is in his forties and looks very energetic.

He and Li Shengyao met on the day of the TV drama directors' gathering in Shanghai. The two were considered acquaintances, so they sat down and chatted quietly.

"Director Li, are there any dramas in Fenghua in November?"

From the beginning of the year to now, Fenghua Film and Television Company has released seven dramas, and it can be said that all of them are hits.

Nowadays, many companies are avoiding Fenghua dramas.

Yang Yazhou has no dramas to air now, he is just joking.

Li Shengyao smiled and said, "Not yet, we should wait until next year."

In terms of co-production dramas, the first one to be completed is Shonan TV's "Coffee Prince Shop No. 1". They have finished filming and are waiting to start the next co-production drama.

The upcoming films "Brilliant Legacy" and "Turns Out to Be Beautiful" should also be finished soon.

As for Lee Sing-yao's "The Great Shang's Palace", it will be finished in a few days. However, this drama has a total of 70 episodes, and the post-production period will be very long.

Yang Yazhou nodded, "You have spent a long time directing this drama yourself. Director Li takes it very seriously."

"The Great Shang Palace" took a total of about seven months from the start of filming to completion. This shooting time is indeed long.

Li Shengyao naturally attaches great importance to it. This is his work to win prizes and earn foreign exchange.

Fortunately, so far, the shooting results are good, and he is personally very satisfied.

"I do pay more attention to it. I hope the audience will like it."

His biggest worry about "The Great Shang Palace" now is whether it can be sold at a high price in China, after all, the production cost is so high.

The price of a single episode of domestic TV dramas has increased slightly, but even a period drama only costs about 130,000 yuan per episode.

But if Li Shengyao's "The Great Shang's Palace" sells for 130,000 or 150,000, he won't make any money at all.

He was a little unwilling.

In his previous life, Xiangnan Satellite TV spent 35 million to buy it from the former peninsula in 2005. But now, he can complete post-production in January 2003, which is much faster than when Xiangnan Satellite TV purchased it.

Two years in advance.

The price will naturally be different in two years, but there is no need to sell it for 10 million, which would be a shortfall of 25 million.

Shonan Satellite TV is generous to the people of the Peninsula and has no reason to be stingy to its own people.

Li Shengyao's estimated price for the first-round broadcast rights is 25 million. If the price is lower than this price, domestic TV stations will not sell it.

At this moment, the host came on stage and the award ceremony officially began.

There were actually quite a lot of good dramas last year, but most of them were not well-received.

There is still some shortcomings in the ratings, which shows that there is a slight gap between the aesthetics of the people and the producers.

And the dramas that were really well-received and well-received, such as "The House", due to some unspeakable reasons, did not participate in the major awards ceremonies in 2002, and they did not even enter the preliminary review.

Whether it is the Feitian Award or the Golden Eagle Award, there is no shadow of "The Mansion Gate".

Chen Baokui was very angry at one time, but as an actor, being angry is of no use. He still has to live his life honestly in the future.

Lee Sheng-yew knew very well that with the quality of "Winter Sonata", it might win many awards in the Peninsula, but it would not be possible in the Mainland.

The emphasis is different, and a romantic drama will not be given high honors here.

With this understanding, he has a good mentality. If he can win a prize, he will take it, and he cannot treat it as a holiday.

Soon after, host Zhou Tao read the third prize list for the annual long-form TV series.

""Hai Rui", "Sister-in-law", "Days of Love", "Winter Sonata"..."

Last year "Love Hotel" won the second prize, and this year it won the third prize. It seemed that it was not as good as last year. Many people looked at Li Shengyao with amusement.

Li Shengyao looked calm, adjusted his suit, and then strode forward to accept the third prize together with other directors and producers.

When Li Shengyao returned to his seat, Yang Yazhou winked at Li Shengyao and said, "The award ceremony is not over yet. Maybe there will be a grand prize later."
