I really don't want high ratings for my documentaries!

Chapter 506 Inside Story!

The grievances between Xu Wen and CCTV can be traced back a long time ago.

It started when Xu Wengang made a documentary.

The copyright of "A Bite of China" was bought by the overseas channel of CCTV.

Xu Wen had to resign from Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations because the center wanted to poach people.

Then Xu Wen helped CCTV create variety shows.

And the broadcast of "The World" on the central station.

It can be said that Xu Wen has a long history with CCTV.

It's hard to tell whether it's Endor or hate.

And the grievances between Xu Wen and Wang Liang also rose with the bit by bit of the center stage.

Because the cooperation with Xu Wen has been a great success several times.

Wang Liang was promoted from deputy director to director.

And Xu Wen has also grown from a self-supporting documentary director to a famous director who can also gain a foothold in the TV drama circle.

The two have witnessed each other's growth, and they also know each other's weaknesses clearly in the process of dealing with each other several times.

Someone who has played in the ring several times.

After all, it is familiar.

So when Xu Wen said the phrase "I don't want to make period dramas", Wang Liang entered the familiar fighting mode.

Wang Liang smiled and pulled Xu Wen to the table and sat down.

"Oh, don't be in a hurry, now you are a person with double prizes, why are you so impatient, sit down and talk slowly."

Seeing this scene, Zhang Min couldn't help but chuckle, but he didn't stop it either.

Xu Wen looked at Wang Liang suspiciously.

"You can say whatever you want, but I still tell you that I don't want to make period dramas anymore."

Wang Liang slowly took out Kung Fu tea from his bag and poured a cup for Xu Wen.

"Xu Wen, listen to me first, the cultural export project set by the Central Station at the beginning was intended to be an invitation-only project."

"You understand the meaning of the invitation system, that is, only the directors and staff approved by the central station have the opportunity."

"Let me tell you the truth, you were not on the list at first."

Xu Wen looked at Wang Liang's purse curiously.

I don't understand how he can hide such a large tea set in his flat leather bag.

Hearing Wang Liang's words, he couldn't help asking again.

"I remember Wang Jiawei said that cultural export projects are not invitation-only."

"Yes, it is not an invitation system now, but at the beginning, if it is still an invitation system, even if you want to make a period drama, you will have no chance to participate in this project."

Wang Liang nodded.

Xu Wen frowned, and opened again the next moment.

I understand something.

"Oh! I see, this cultural exchange project, you changed it from invitation system to non-invitation system."

"That's right! And the reason why I did this is all because of you."

Wang Liang nodded solemnly.

Xu Wen looked at Wang Liang in confusion.

"In order to allow you to participate in this project, you can imagine how much effort I have put in."

"If it wasn't for your "Human World" that gave me hope, I wouldn't have helped you if I were someone else."

Xu Wen narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

"Director Wang, are you guilty of saying this?"

"Ahem, ahem, what a guilty conscience. In short, our station is also very satisfied with your last "Human World". The director has let go. I hope to see your next period drama work."

Wang Liang coughed.

He seemed to realize that what he said was a bit exaggerated, and brought the topic back.

Xu Wen sighed.

"Director Wang, I really don't want to make any more period dramas at the moment. If you insist on watching them, I can't guarantee that the effect will be as good as "The World"."

"This"

Wang Liang hesitated again.

Xu Wen looked at Wang Liang very seriously.

"The Central Station wants to see the period dramas I filmed because of the pearls and jades of "The World"."

"But how can you guarantee that my other works are not as good as "The World"?"

"Isn't "Knowledge" a good example?"

In terms of ratings, the ratings of "Human World" are not as good as "Knowledge".

Xu Wen also didn't understand why CCTV insisted on watching his period dramas.

Facing Xu Wen's words, Wang Liang hesitated, and finally sighed.

"Actually, it's not impossible for you to want to shoot other genres, but I want to tell you something."

"It's really for your own good that I asked you to make period dramas, although the restriction on invitations has been lifted in the station."

"But privately it still has a heavyweight director for each genre."

"Whether it's ancient costumes, scheming, or cities, the directors invited can be said to be urban masters."

"Only the period drama has no fixed candidate here. If you make a period drama, then I can definitely choose this person as yours!"

After Wang Liang finished speaking, Xu Wen was stunned.

Before he could speak, Zhang Min asked first.

"Which directors are there?"

"Tu Fangfang, Ji Chang, Gao Siyue"

Every time Wang Liang pronounced a name, Zhang Min's eyes widened.

At the end, the whole face was completely stunned.

Even Xu Wen on the side had a serious face.

The directors mentioned by Wang Liang can be said to be among the top seniors in the entire Huaguo TV drama circle.

Only Xu Wen knew that Tao Jing was a mentor with him in "The Birth of an Actor" on Mango Channel.

It was Ji Chang's student that Wang Liang mentioned just now.

Seeing the faces of the two, Wang Liang said helplessly.

"These words are not said to the outside world, that is, they have a good relationship with you, so I revealed them to you."

"Now you know why I insisted you make period dramas. To be honest, you have to make other genres."

"Even if you come back after winning the Huading Award this time, you're still not as good as these big guys."

Zhang Min was also moved by Wang Liang's words, and couldn't help looking at Xu Wen.

"Xu Wen, why don't we still shoot period dramas?"

"What if... I want to shoot other genres?"

Xu Wen groaned and looked at Wang Liang.

Wang Liang said angrily.

"What can we do? There is only one quota for each type, so naturally the best will survive."

"Then let me think about it."

Xu Wen did not give an answer right away.

Seeing this, Wang Liang could only nod his head, stood up and patted Xu Wen's shoulder.

"Think about it carefully."

Said and left the conference room.

Zhang Min and Xu Wen were left behind.

After Wang Liang left, Zhang Min glanced at Xu Wen.

"Do you still want to make period dramas?"

"I don't want to."

Facing Zhang Min, Xu Wen didn't hide his thoughts.

Zhang Min sighed.

"But this time the competition is too much. I actually think it's good for us to shoot period dramas."

"I'll think about it."

Xu Wen sighed and didn't refuse, but he didn't agree immediately either.

Seeing this, Zhang Min couldn't continue to ask further questions because of this matter.

Turn around and talk about another thing.

"By the way, He Mei's agency contract has signed with our company, and now I have assigned her an agent and an assistant."

"But for her first work, how to arrange it? On a variety show?"

Facing Zhang Min's question, Xu Wen smiled.

"Aren't you the artist agency that you want to set up yourself? Why don't you know how to handle the work of artists when you turn around?"

"It's not that I don't know how to deal with it, I'm asking for your opinion."

Zhang Min said angrily.

Xu Wen smiled.

"For He Mei, I don't need to arrange any variety show for her. When "The Actor Born" is broadcast, this variety show will help her attract fans."

"You should find a script for her first. If there is a suitable script, please show me first. The role doesn't matter, as long as it is a good production team."

Although Xu Wen is very confident about He Mei's future stardom.

But he also knows that any Uranus superstar starts from a small trick step by step.

If Xu Wen forced her to praise her, he would directly arrange for her to be the heroine of a big production.

The effect will be just the opposite.

Just look at the actors in the previous life and you will know it.

As soon as it debuted, it was a big production, but it has been criticized by people as a resource coffee until now.

Anyway, I will let He Mei star in a big production that I will direct.

Now it's better to let He Mei play tricks and make a familiar face.

Zhang Min nodded to Xu Wen's words.

"This matter is not difficult. Over the years, we have also established cooperative relationships with many film and television companies and TV stations."

"It's not difficult for He Mei to find the crew to play tricks, but after all, we have to arrange some important scenes for her."

Xu Wen nodded.

"Don't worry about this, I have a measure."

After leaving the company, Xu Wen returned home by car.

After spending a lot of time outside, when Xu Wen returned home again, he felt more relaxed than ever.

There are so many things to come.

Another Huading Award!It's the business of the artist economics department again!There are also cultural export projects, as well as the broadcast of "The Born Actor".

Before he knew it, Xu Wen's time was already fully booked.

And Xu Wen fell asleep leaning on the sofa after thinking about it.

Until in the evening, I was awakened by Zhang Min's phone call.

Xu Wencai realized that 5 hours had passed.

"Mango Channel just sent us a message that the program "The Actor Born" is scheduled to air next Monday!"

Hearing Zhang Min's words, Xu Wen glanced at the time.

There's almost a week left.

Mango Channel has done a lot of publicity for "The Birth of an Actor" before, but the broadcast time has not been announced.

Now many viewers are waiting for the broadcast of this program.

If there is an interval of one week in between, the time is not too abrupt.

Just as he was talking, a trailer of "The Birth of an Actor" newly edited by Mango TV just happened to be released on the TV.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Wen watched the trailer seriously.

I wanted to see how much of what happened on the scene would be edited by Mango TV.

"40 actors!"

"4 great directors!"

"12 professional judges!"

"This is a competition about acting!"

"Acting skills are your only passport to be present!"

"There's a show here!"

"There are also horses!"

"More love for acting!"

""The Actor Born" is next Monday! See you soon!"
