The Kuomintang and the Communist Party in the play are also two balls of flame, igniting the raging fire of revolution. But it can be seen from the content of the first part , the fire of GMD burned too quickly and was too short-lived. As soon as the Northern Expedition ended, the flames of revolution were extinguished, leaving only vulgar fame, wealth and status.

Meihua Media has established an effective quality control system for TV dramas!¡± - "Beijing City" *Evening News".
"We should issue a call to our colleagues in the domestic literary and art circles to learn from Meihua Media! Since Qin Tianzhu founded Meihua Media in 1997, he has filmed "The Classmate Boy", "Latent", "The Temptation of Wife", "The Passionate Years" in the past few years ", "The Brilliant Pig Bajie", "Winter Love Song", "The Righteous Path of the World Is Vicissitudes of Life", "New Shanghai Beach", "Prison Break", "Li Wei Becomes an Official", "Looking for Qin", "The Decision of Destiny" and many other excellent works The works have no record of failure in market performance, and they all lead the domestic cultural trend, and have won a total of 37 domestic and foreign film and television awards.??With such outstanding performance, the author can conclude that the slogan of learning from Meihua Media will not be outdated in ten years! "¡ª¡ª"Yangzi Evening News"
"What can we learn from Meihua Media? Respect collective creation, value the cultivation of behind-the-scenes work in the film and television industry, be brave in innovation, always bring surprises to the audience, strict quality control system, large investment in the quality of TV series, respect for talents, etc. There is a lot to learn. As long as domestic peers learn one or two aspects well, they will be able to be called outstanding companies in the cultural industry." - "Southern Metropolis Daily".
Learn from Meihua Media?
Qin Tianzhu looked at the rants in the media and smiled. This kind of statement is always made once or twice in the media after a popular drama from Plum Blossom Company comes out. But this time, the momentum seems to be much greater than before. It seems that the society is really a bit stunned that a drama with a main theme and a tribute type can achieve such results. Yes, if this kind of main theme drama can achieve huge commercial success, satisfy the officials, and get praise from critics, who wouldn't want to do such a good thing.
But now he is not afraid of others coming to learn from them. On the one hand, Meihua Media has indeed built up a certain core competitiveness. After several years of hard work, Meihua¡¯s screenwriter team, talent training system, quality control system, etc. are all ahead of its domestic peers and even around the world. They are also very competitive inside. On the other hand, he is not afraid that others will learn from it. These systems may seem easy to learn but are difficult to learn. Moreover, even if a peer really learns, he is not afraid of competition from his peers. Only with competition can he make progress!
"Destiny" is so successful that the officials are very satisfied. The General Administration of Culture and Industry, the Propaganda Department and even the head of the central government in charge of spiritual civilization construction have been calling him continuously in the past few days, full of praise and affirmation of the show.
Plum Blossom Company itself is also very satisfied. The average revenue per episode of "Destiny" is as high as 8 million yuan, directly chasing the record of 10 million yuan per episode of "Prison Break". The first round of broadcasting brought 240 million yuan in revenue to Plum Blossom Company. This is a drama with a main theme, and the overseas market should not have much impact. Even so, the total revenue of 300 million yuan in the end can still be expected.
Most of 2001 has passed, and the company only has two dramas left this year: "Full House" and its own "Swordsman."
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Li from Jujiang wants to see you!" Secretary Qian Duoduo walked into the office, and the sound of reporting interrupted Qin Tianzhu's meditation.
Qin Tianzhu came to the company's living room and saw Li Hengjian sitting on the sofa and smoking.
"Uncle Li, although we are acquaintances, you don't come here often?"
Li Hengjian also joked and replied: "Aren't we in the same industry? As the saying goes, people who are in the same industry are enemies. It would be better for me to come here less often, hahaha!"
"Xiao Zhu, this is incredible. Whatever you Meihua Media is doing now, your colleagues are all envious of it. Well, your Uncle Li is coming to ask you for some tips on success."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Tianzhu and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhu, are you reluctant to give it and want to keep it a secret for Uncle Li?"
Of course Qin Tianzhu knows that Li Hengjian is joking. Others may need teaching. Li Hengjian¡¯s Jujiangren Film and Television definitely does not need Meihua Media to teach them how to develop. What's more, the secrets of Meihua Company have long been exposed by the media for analysis, so there is no secret at all.
"Uncle Li, what you are saying is very modest. Among domestic film and television producers, you Jujiang people can be considered the number one. I heard that your profit last year was over 100 million. This achievement is definitely ranked among the domestic peers. It's in the top five. Why, Uncle Li is still dissatisfied with his company?"
At present, among the domestic private entertainment companies, apart from his Meihua Media, Jujiangren Film and Television, Hailun Film and Television, and Yihua Brothers are the three most powerful. The profits of the three companies last year were around 100 million yuan, and their business scope involves the production of film and television dramas. In terms of distribution and artist management, it is the leader among the second-tier entertainment companies. Since the domestic TV drama market is booming, Yihua Brothers is now focusing on TV drama production and only invests in Feng Xiaogang's works in movies.
Comparing with himself, Li Hengjian is quite satisfied with the company's operating performance and has made great progress. However, the gap becomes even wider when compared with Meihua Media in the same city. Jujiang People¡¯s profit last year was over 100 million yuan, while Meihua Media¡¯s profit last year was as high as nearly 2 billion yuan.
Where there is a gap, there is motivation! Li Hengjian no longer stays at the low-level research on Meihua Media's drama series, but has turned to a comprehensive study of Meihua Company's institutional system. However, learning is not that easy. He came here today hoping that Qin Tianzhu could help him solve his learning difficulties. (To be continued.
