- Several days have passed since New Year's Eve. This year's Spring Festival Gala did not receive several sacks of criticism letters from viewers in just one week because of the poor program. The Spring Festival Gala program team finally did not have to apologize to the hundreds of millions of viewers on "Xinwen Lianbo" .
On the contrary, because Teresa Teng and Zhao Yazhi appeared on the Spring Festival Gala without warning, they gave mainland audiences a complete surprise. Especially the song "Blessing" became widely sung in just a few days.
Every Spring Festival Gala will make several people famous and several songs popular, and today is no exception.
The first person to become famous was the young female teacher from the Central Dance Academy who danced folk dances. Before the Spring Festival was over, she was recruited into the Song and Dance Troupe of the General Political Department. Secondly, Dong Wenhua, who sang a cover of "Fifteenth Moon", was also remembered by the audience at once.
The most popular song was the song "Happy Chinese New Year" sung by the hosts when they appeared on the stage. It was even more popular than "Blessings" sung by Teresa Teng.
No other, because this song is so appropriate for the occasion, and it is also festive and lively. Normally it would never have such a big impact, but now is the Chinese New Year! This song is catchy and you can hum it at any time, which makes you feel happy and prosperous.
Mainland record companies are still contacting the Spring Festival Gala program team and want to produce an album of the Spring Festival Gala song program. The album title and title song are "Happy Chinese Year".
But before this matter has been discussed, various tapes have been circulated in the streets, including male covers, female covers, and male and female choruses. The quality of some tapes has even reached a professional level.
??After all, it is. Most are still crudely made. There are currently no private record companies in mainland China. These state-owned record companies are extremely confident in their professional production capabilities and sales channels. They quickly contacted the song copyright owners through the Spring Festival Gala program team.
Wang Zijun wanted to leave Beijing the next day after attending the Spring Festival Gala, but Huang Yihe forcibly kept him and had to drag him to his home to celebrate the New Year to express his gratitude.
Knowing that Wang Zijun, Deng Lijun, and Zhao Yazhi were all at Huang Yihe's home, some people in Beijing's cultural and entertainment circles did not care about celebrating the New Year and came to visit one after another.
This is the identity difference.
If Wang Zijun comes back as an overseas Chinese businessman, then all kinds of officials will come to see him. However, there is no trade between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait at all. The Mainland Affairs Council of the Taiwan authorities is still in the midst of ambiguous discussions, and it is uncertain whether it can be established. That's why I received a cold reception from local officials when I arrived in Cangzhou that day. Once I heard that he was from Taiwan, he lost much enthusiasm for attracting investment. Even the top leaders of the administrative office and the city government were not present.
But the culture and entertainment industry is different. Nowadays, everything in the mainland entertainment industry is moving closer to Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. Just look at how many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars have been invited to this Spring Festival Gala. Hong Kong and Taiwan programs account for almost a quarter of the entire gala.
¡°And Wang Zijun is a leader in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and he has an astonishing amount of entertainment resources at his disposal. Although "Titanic" was not released in mainland China, it was very easy for some people in the industry to obtain the video. After watching it, they were shocked and admired. Some mainland filmmakers have completely regarded Wang Zijun as a god-level being.
Even without Wang Zijun, only Zhao Yazhi and Deng Lijun were enough to attract many visitors.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Wang Zijun couldn't bear to leave on the second day of the new year, he even stepped out, but was stopped by a short and thin man.
"Mr. Wang, stay!" Wang Zijun, who was about to get on the bus, was stopped by a man wearing a brand new Zhongshan uniform.
Wang Zijun felt that this person looked familiar. But he couldn't remember who he was for a moment, so he asked, "Who are you?"
"My dear Wang Flynn, the director of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions"." Wang Flynn quickly took out the business card he had ordered overnight and handed it over.
"Oh, it turns out to be Director Wang. I have admired him for a long time." Wang Zijun quickly shook hands with him. It is no lie to say that he has been admired for a long time. No matter in his previous life or now, he has been admired for a long time. The news that Wang Flynn was going to film "Dream of Red Mansions" had spread a few years ago, and even red scholars in Japan, Europe and the United States were paying attention.
Jiashi made a TV series version of "A Dream of Red Mansions" a few years ago, but it was completely incomparable to "A Dream of Red Mansions" produced by Wang Flynn. There are famous mainland red scholars to write the script, and they also very professionally revised the plot of Gao E's sequel. This modification has been unanimously recognized by red scholars at home and abroad. Rather than the disgusting fabrication of later generations.
Not only that, red science experts also came to give free lessons to the actors and staff, and even the Grand View Garden had to be built in real time.
However, in front of him, Wang Fulin, who was over fifty years old, had no wrinkles on his face and looked less than forty years old. It was really difficult for Wang Zijun to connect him with the kind old man wearing glasses in later generations.
"Where is it? I dare not take it seriously if I have admired it for a long time." Wang Fulin rubbed his hands and said, "WangSir, you see it's quite cold here. How about we find a warm place? "
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Wang Zijun was taken to a tea garden, which was not open during the Spring Festival. It was probably because of Wang Fulin's face that he was allowed in.
The tea garden was deserted, and no one was performing on the stage. Zhao Yazhi and Teresa Teng made a bowl of tea and went to chat. They could see that Wang Fulin had something serious to discuss.
"Mr. Wang, your production of "The Legend of White Snake" is really wonderful. In addition to the limitations of the location shooting, the plot, costumes, music and lines are all excellent works, which I have benefited a lot from." Wang Flynn first It came with a flurry of compliments.
It¡¯s not entirely a compliment. Although he had a TV series decades ago, it was a short film praising socialism with only a few episodes. He knew nothing about commercial TV series. In order to film its own TV series, CCTV directly sent him to Europe for inspections in the past few years to familiarize himself with the production process of commercial TV series.
Soon after the idea of ??filming "Dream of Red Mansions" came up, "The Legend of White Snake" was broadcast in mainland China. Many things in it made Wang Flynn's idea suddenly clear.
After chatting for a while, Wang Flynn began to ask Wang Zijun for advice on various TV series production experiences.
?This is more than an hour. Wang Zijun started to get a little impatient. During the Spring Festival, he didn't have time to talk nonsense with others in the teahouse. He couldn't help but ask: "I wonder what Director Wang wants to see me for today?"
Wang Fulin did not answer directly, but asked: "Mr. Wang has been here for the past few days, have you visited the Grand View Garden in Beijing?"
Wang Zijun said: "Time is too tight, I haven't had time to appreciate Director Wang's masterpiece."
Wang Fulin said: "If I have time, I will personally take Mr. Wang for a tour."
"Definitely." Wang Zijun nodded.
Wang Fulin finally stated his purpose at this time: "Mr. Wang, I wonder if you are interested in investing in "Dream of Red Mansions"?"
"What?" Wang Zijun almost spit out the tea he just drank. Wang Fulin is so poor that he actually thinks of looking for funds from himself, a Taiwanese compatriot.
Wang Fulin saw Wang Zijun's surprised expression and said with some embarrassment: "I'll be honest with you. The money in my hand is almost running out."
"How could it be?" Wang Zijun asked strangely, "Didn't "Dream of Red Mansions" be filmed with investment from CCTV? Is it possible that there will still be no money?"
"Mr. Wang, you don't know something." Wang Flynn took a sip of tea and pursed his lips and said, "CCTV's original plan was to shoot 25 episodes and gave me a budget of 5 million. But now we have to shoot 36 episodes, and in order to maximize the To restore the original work as much as possible, we also specially built the Grand View Garden"
Wang Zijun finally understood after Wang Fulin explained.
It turns out that at this time in the mainland film and television industry. Filmmaking is art, while TV dramas are nothing more than children's toys that can't be staged at all.
As a TV drama director, Wang Flynn has always been at odds with his predecessors in the film industry.
A few years ago, he filmed a TV series "When Will the Colorful Clouds Return", which reflected the homesickness of Taiwanese compatriots? It happened that the film studio also made a movie "Love, Heaven, Hate," based on the same novel; he adapted Jiang Zilong's novel "Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, and Green" "Blue and Purple" was adapted into a TV series and made Chen Baoguo famous in one fell swoop. The movie of the same name also came out; this time, Wang Flynn filmed the TV series "A Dream of Red Mansions", and the film industry continued to be "unyielding".
Just at the beginning of last year, Beijing Film Studio announced that it would shoot a movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions" and was planning to make six 8-episode series. The investment is up to more than 20 million yuan.
As soon as the filming of the movie version started, Wang Flynn's pressure became even greater. After all, in today's people's minds, TV series cannot be compared with movies. Even CCTV was ready to give up the filming of TV series.
Wang Fulin persisted and finally managed to survive for a year. Maybe it was inspired by the movie version. In his pursuit of excellence, he repeatedly increased the production budget, but CCTV behind him spread his hands and said just four words - "I want money or not!"
The poor director turned into a businessman. As soon as the Grand View Garden was built, he asked friends in the media to help advertise. He used the not yet fully completed Grand View Garden as a tourist attraction and relied on ticket money to make up for the lack of TV drama shooting funds.
When Wang Zijun heard this, he almost couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Not only did he build the Grand View Garden without spending a dime. On the contrary, I made a fortune.
¡°But it¡¯s really sad for a director to be so poor that he relies on collecting tickets to keep filming.
Wang Fulin sighed and said: "The government has allocated more than two million yuan and will not give any money. Seeing that the construction of the Grand View Garden will still cost money, there is nothing you can do to find Mr. Wang."
?Wang Zijun asked strangely: "Why don't you give money? Didn't you say you plan to invest 5 million?"
Wang Fulin said: "First of all, it's the pressure from Beijing Film Studio. The studio feels that TV series can't be compared with movies, and they won't have much influence if they are made. Come on, it's just that I spend too much money here. If this continues It may cost six to seven million. But Mr. Wang, you are also a director, and the money I spend can really improve the quality of the TV series."
Wang Zijun thought to himself, maybe another reason is that your production cycle is too long. It¡¯s been almost three years since the casting was started, and the progress is less than one-third. If I were your boss, I wouldn¡¯t stop filming, but I would definitely change the director.
"A few million yuan is too much for CCTV at this time, but it is also a lot less." If there is an executive order from above, let alone millions, even if 10 or 20 million are spent in vain, it will not blink an eye. But if it is used on a TV series that is not taken seriously, and it has been filmed for several years without any results, and it is not known that it will be used in a TV series in the Year of the Monkey, then it is worth considering. After all, CCTV's TV drama production center has been established for less than two years, and it doesn't have any good works and doesn't have much ability to ask for funding from the station.
Wang Zijun covered the tea bowl and asked: "Do you want me to invest? Are you willing to do it?"
Wang Fulin smiled bitterly and said: "They are eager for someone to take over, otherwise they will have to continue to provide money."
"How to count political factors?" Wang Zijun asked, "The filming of "Dream of Red Mansions" has spread to Japan. It contains the efforts of so many red scholars, and it has risen to the level of promoting the quintessence of the country. After all, I am from the other side of the Taiwan Strait. If I come to interfere, I¡¯m afraid someone will gossip.¡±
Wang Fulin said: "Taili means to announce to the outside world that it will cooperate in filming, but the main body is CCTV, and the copyright of the TV series also belongs to Taili."
Wang Zijun asked: "Then what can I get?"
"Profit sharing from sales to local and overseas TV stations." Wang Fulin said.
Wang Zijun couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'm afraid this is not your personal idea."
Wang Fulin nodded and said, "It's my personal idea, and it's also the idea of ??the TV Drama Production Center."
Wang Zijun was relieved. The newly established CCTV TV Drama Production Center was currently short of funds, and their eagerness to achieve results made them reluctant to give up "Dream of Red Mansions", which had already become famous overseas, so they came up with the idea of ????a joint production.
If the TV series does not produce good results, then the cost will naturally be shared. If the TV series has a huge impact after it is broadcast, then the honor still belongs to the TV production center. As for the profits that should be given to Wang Zijun, the most trivial matters related to the TV drama production center are that if they make more money, they will only give out some benefits.
They are all people from CCTV. It is probably because someone from the TV drama production center suddenly thought of this idea after seeing Wang Zijun appear at the Spring Festival Gala, and then instigated director Wang Fulin to come up and attract investment.
Even if it causes controversy in the future, people at the TV drama production center can explain it this way: The whole country is attracting investment, and our co-production of TV dramas is also attracting overseas investment, which is in line with the general trend of reform and opening up
"Let's do this," Wang Zijun thought for a while. A few million yuan was nothing to him, so he decided to establish a good relationship with CCTV in advance. Although the TV drama production center is still young at this time, it will grow rapidly in a few years, and there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. He wrote a phone number on the table with tea and continued, "I'm not good at direct investment. You can call Huang Xizhao from DreamWorks Entertainment Ventures in Hong Kong, and he will take care of things."
"That's great. I would like to thank Mr. Wang on behalf of the whole crew!" Seeing that Wang Zijun was willing to invest money, Wang Fulin quickly stood up and shook hands to thank him. He also excitedly found a pen and paper to copy the phone number. (To be continued)
