After a while, Qin Baichuan called to reply to Chief Liu.
Chief Liu answered the phone. "Old Qin, did you ask? How long has it been since filming started? How long will it take to wrap up? "
"It's already filmed."
"Mm, filmed … What? It's done?! "Chief Liu's voice suddenly became louder." Say that again? "
"It's the same even if I say it again. It's done!" Qin Baichuan was full of vigor. "Hurry up and arrange a prime time slot for CCTV to screen it."
"Wait, this … is it really done?" Chief Liu looked a little nervous. "This is CCTV we're talking about. How long has it been since they started filming? Can they control the quality?"
"It should be almost two months since they started filming. It's about time. Don't go back on your word and fix the schedule!"
"I've never heard of anyone in the industry who can finish filming a TV series in less than two months."
"Now there is. That kid is not a normal person." Qin Baichuan laughed.
Chief Liu patted his half-bald forehead. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not know what to say anymore.
He was in the SARFT and was in charge of CCTV's broadcasting area, which was TV series. Although he was not a professional film and TV producer, he had some understanding.
Of course, he knew how other people's crews filmed TV series. He also knew the process of a TV series. In his opinion, it would take at least three months to film a TV series of 30 to 40 episodes. Moreover, that was under the condition that there were no problems and it went very smoothly.
Some crews even had to film for half a year, while some even took two or three years. There were all kinds of uncertainties in the process of filming a TV series. Changing locations and changing actors were common.
Drawing Sword, on the other hand?
It took less than two months and it seemed to be a bunch of rookies with no acting skills.
What kind of situation was that? Could it really be screened?
Chief Liu felt a lot of pressure. That was CCTV, and it was a prime time slot with a special image. If Drawing Sword did not make it, it would be a joke.
…
Miracle Island.
Ye Lingchen hung up the phone and smiled at everyone. "We can fix the schedule now. The TV channel is settled. Old Qin is still very reliable. There's no need for review."
"Ah, really?" Everyone looked over in surprise.
"This time it's CCTV, and it's likely to be a prime time slot. It's different from ordinary TV entertainment programs."
"Damn, Central TV is so awesome!" Central TV was completely different from ordinary TV channels. Even Li Jing could not help but feel his heart in his mouth. The others were also surprised.
"That, Young Master Ye, do we need to reshoot the scene? If there's a scene that wasn't filmed well, then — "Li Jing could not help but say.
Since they were going to be on Central TV, they definitely had to treat it with caution. The pressure on everyone was also great.
"No need." Ye Lingchen smiled.
The next day.
Ye Lingchen personally started editing the TV series.
There were actually a lot of highlights during the filming process. If all of them were added, they would probably be able to reach over 50 levels. Now, Ye Lingchen had to edit around 36 episodes. Looking at each scene, Ye Lingchen was satisfied from the bottom of his heart.
Let's begin.
One hour.
Two hours.
Three hours.
Ye Lingchen sat in front of the computer, his hands moving quickly as he worked.
In the afternoon, Qin Baichuan actually chased after him in person.
"Little Brat Ye, is this TV series really okay? I've given the SARFT a guarantee. Don't make any trouble. "Qin Baichuan went straight to the point as soon as he arrived.
Ye Lingchen smiled and said, "I've finished editing. Do you want to take a look?"
"The editing is done?" Qin Baichuan was stunned again. "That means it can be broadcast now?"
"Yeah, it took me one morning to finish."
Qin Baichuan frowned. "You're really efficient, but it's too efficient."
Ye Lingchen replied casually, "It's alright. I don't like to be complacent. I'm not capable enough."
Qin Baichuan shook his head helplessly. "I won't watch so many episodes. Just don't embarrass me."
"How could I? My own reputation is here. Do you think I'll cheat you?" Ye Lingchen said. He did not mention the issue of funds. First of all, that was a condition he agreed to when he bought Miracle Island. It was not appropriate for him to collect money. Moreover, he did not care about money at that moment. Being able to get on Central TV meant gaining more popularity. That was the most important thing.
Moreover, if he really wanted money, when Drawing Sword became popular, he could still make a lot of money from the copyrights.
"By the way, has the time slot been arranged?" Ye Lingchen asked.
Qin Baichuan thought for a moment and said, "Central TV has a show to finish during the primetime slot next month, but Chief Liu of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television suggested that Drawing Sword be postponed."
Ye Lingchen raised his eyebrows. "Hmm? Why? "
"Relentless Swordsman and Best Time are very popular dramas. They've passed the review and should be released next month. Chief Liu said that these two TV series have a very luxurious cast. Moreover, the two male idols are all prepared and ready to reach the top. The competition is too big. Drawing Sword should avoid it as much as possible. After two months, there won't be much competition for the TV series, so it'll be easier to produce results."
Chief Liu naturally had good intentions. At the same time, he was afraid that Central TV's TV series would be defeated by other TV series. After all, although the male idols had been defeated time and time again, they were still popular. There was no need for them to mess around.
However, Ye Lingchen naturally did not think so.
"Next month then."
"What?" Qin Baichuan was a little surprised.
"I can't ask for more than anything to compete with the male idols." Ye Lingchen smiled.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure." Ye Lingchen smiled and said, "Old Qin, you're a martial artist. Where's your edge? Isn't this TV series meant to defeat the male idols, promote the way of martial artists, and make men more like men? You're scared before the fight even starts? "
"Uh …" Old Qin opened his mouth, then smiled bitterly. "I'm completely affected by that coward Chief Liu. He keeps saying how awesome the male idols are, how strong their appeal is, and how they're number one in terms of traffic and ratings. He's making me nervous. I'm not afraid of him. I'll do it!"
"That's right. If you want to fight, then fight head-on. Whether you're a mule or a horse, come out for a walk."
Many people would probably think that they were crazy if they heard about the military-themed TV series wanting to compete with the male idols. That was simply a fantasy.
"Kid, you better take it easy. Can you guarantee the ratings? It'd be best if you can beat the two male idols! "Qin Baichuan encouraged.
"Just watch," Ye Lingchen said.
'How can I just beat them?
'What I want is a complete beating!'
'This prodigy has beaten up many male idols. Along the way, I want to teach them how to be human! 'Be a man!'
