Chapter 435 The four masters and apprentices who have drifted away (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

"Mom, you've watched it for the second time, why are you still wiping away your tears?"

In the courtyard, Wu Jianye looked at his mother helplessly, and what he was talking about was the second time "Desire" that my mother had just finished watching!
At the beginning of this year, CCTV dropped a tear gas bomb and a happy bomb across the country with two popular TV series!

The tear gas bomb is "Desire", this large-scale indoor life drama, was used by CCTV as the opening drama of the Lunar New Year.

Once it was aired, it officially aroused heated discussions across the country. The "Yanjing Daily" also conducted a special survey on this. At this time, there was no organization that counted the ratings, so they just interviewed TV viewers randomly to get a rough estimate. ratings.

In this questionnaire survey, the results showed that 96.1% of people watched the TV series "Longing", far exceeding the proportion of the same TV series.

The number of viewers of the first domestic TV series "Fearless" was 86.7%, and that of "Shanghai Bund" was 83.2%.Among them, 81.9% of the audience gave a positive evaluation to "Longing".

From this, we can see why "Desire" is said to be an empty alley in later generations.

There is also a jingle about "Desire" in Yanjing, the big environment, and the small family.Things around, children love.Truth, goodness and beauty, ugly soul, joys and sorrows are always related to love.

And the crew members of "Longing" are also popular, and many places have sent invitation letters, hoping that the crew members can come to them to show condolences.

Having the same treatment as "Longing" is another popular TV series "Journey to the West"!

Different from the tearjerking of "Desire", the broadcast of "Journey to the West" made all the children obsessed with the omnipotent Monkey King.

When Wu Jianye came back today, he saw a few brats playing the role of master and apprentice in the alley, because a slightly fatter kid was assigned to play Zhu Bajie, sitting on the ground rolling and crying.

My old lady naturally prefers to watch "Longing". Now it is the second round of Yanjing TV's broadcast, but the ratings are still crushing the TV series of other TV stations.

This has also become a program that my mother can't shake every day.

The old lady looked at Wu Jianye with an unkind expression: "Say, why?"

Wu Jianye was suddenly a little confused: "Why?"

"Why do you say?"

"."

Zhu Yan explained in a funny way: "Mom, I'm asking why you wrote Liu Huifang so badly?"

When "Longing" was broadcast for the first time, my old lady knew from Zhu Zhuan that Wu Jianye was the screenwriter of this TV series. After that, my old lady treated Wu Jianye with a nose that was not a nose, and a face that was not a face.

After the performance of "Longing", my mother's temper got better. Now that the second round of broadcasting has started, my mother's unhappiness has begun again.

"Mom, this is a TV series, and it's all fake!" Wu Jianye could only say weakly.

The old lady doesn't care about this, anyway, her son can't write Liu Huifang so badly, and then reprimanded her all the time, until Wu Nianyi's crying sounded, and the old lady let Wu Jianye go.

Seeing Wu Jianye's helpless expression, Zhu Zhuo revealed a hint of joy again.

"Okay, don't be angry, mom said that, doesn't it mean that the TV series you wrote is more popular?" Zhu Zhuo hugged Wu Jianye's arm and comforted him.

Wu Jianye sighed and said, "Hey, I know what it means to shoot yourself in the foot with a rock!"

Zhu Zhuo asked with a smile: "You have broadcast "Journey to the West" in Xiangjiang, why don't you also broadcast "Longing" in Xiangjiang?"

Wu Jianye walked to the sofa and sat down, and said: "If the TV series "Longing" is broadcast in Xiangjiang, it will definitely hit the street at grandma's house. He is different from "Journey to the West"!"

The reason why "Longing" can achieve such a big sensation in China is actually because the combination of this TV series and the domestic situation can cause great resonance in the hearts of ordinary audiences, and it can achieve such a great success.

But if this TV series is broadcast in Xiangjiang, it will only make Xiangjiang viewers look confused, and then quickly switch TV stations, without any other functions.

As for "Journey to the West", it is different. This novel has a huge readership in Southeast Asia, and there are no limitations in the subject matter. Naturally, it can be successful in Southeast Asia.

In fact, this is indeed the case. As the first TV series after ATV was promoted to stardom, the TV series "Journey to the West" relied on ATV and achieved extremely high ratings throughout Southeast Asia.

The proof is that the four masters and apprentices in "Journey to the West" are completely popular. In just over a month, Tangting Culture has received countless invitations to invite them to go to various countries to perform on stage.

The four master and apprentice floated away.
In the office of Tangting Culture, the report brought by Xia Xiaohong illustrates this point well.

"The four of them have contacted the invitation of commercial performances in private, boss, this is not the first time!" Xia Xiaohong's expression was very dissatisfied.

Although these four people are not actors of Tangting culture, the copyright of the TV series "Journey to the West" belongs to Tangting culture, so their commercial performances generally have to go through Tangting culture, and Wu Jianye didn't want to do it for this. I fell out with them for a small amount of money, so the remuneration for commercial performances has always been [-]-[-], but the result is still not enough to satisfy them. Now the four of them are under the name of four masters and apprentices, often taking jobs in private .

Wu Jianye looked at the report in his hand and said, "Make a statement and prohibit them from using this name in private!"

Xia Xiaohong shook her head and said, "It's useless. Although we own the copyright of the TV series "Journey to the West", we don't have the copyright of Tang Seng, his master and his disciples. They can use this as a reason to reject our statement."

"even."

"Even what?" Wu Jianye looked at Xia Xiaohong and asked.

"Now when the four of them are accepting commercial performances outside, they often mention the success of this TV series, intentionally or unintentionally, as their credit, especially the actor 'Monkey King'."

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why the four masters and apprentices fell out with director Yang Jie later. After the great success of "Journey to the West", the four masters and apprentices attributed the success of "Journey to the West" to their own success. The relationship with Director Jie is not that great.
Especially Teacher Zhang, in the following decades, regarded the role of Monkey King as his own incarnation, and he criticized the appearance of any other form of Monkey King.

This also gave rise to the stalk of the later "both styles and styles".
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said, "Send a notice that Tangting Culture will no longer cooperate with the four of them."

Xia Xiaohong looked at Wu Jianye suspiciously: "Is this possible?"

Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "It won't be too restrictive. It's not the same as Xiangjiang in China."

The territory of the country is too vast. Even if Tangting Culture does not use them at this time, it will not delay their cooperation with other cultural companies or TV stations. As long as the domestic entertainment industry does not officially enter the capital market, the binding force of Tangting Culture will not be delayed. It will be as huge as in Xiangjiang.

What Wu Jianye did was just to express his attitude.

In fact, the experience of later generations also shows that these few have not achieved much in the entertainment industry. Even after 30 years, they are still making money under the name of "Journey to the West", and the others have no achievements.
Soon, the announcement about Tangting Culture spread throughout the entertainment circles in Yanjing. This could already be regarded as the first banning order in the country.

However, as Wu Jianye said, this matter did not have much impact on the four masters and apprentices. After all, the major performance platforms recognize the four masters and apprentices, not the so-called dignified culture.

Some people even openly clamored that Tangting culture is just looking for trouble and bullying others
At first, Wu Jianye didn't take this seriously, but after Xia Xiaohong found Wu Jianye again, he reported something to Wu Jianye.

"A company called Dachao Culture Company in Yanjing contacted the four masters and apprentices, planning to find them to film a modern drama!"

Wu Jianye laughed after listening to it, "Modern drama? This boss has some ideas?" Then he asked, "Does this Dachao culture have any background?"

Nowadays, it is not news to set up a cultural company in China. In Yanjing alone, there are already [-] or [-] cultural companies.

"There should be no official background. The boss is from Guangdong Province. He caught up with the sea craze two years ago and made some money. Then he came to Yanjing to open a cultural company. Before that, he invested in a movie and lost a little bit. Qian, now he has invested in another TV series, which is said to be in cooperation with Yanjing TV.”

"Then they were the ones who contributed to the fact that some people said that our store was a big bully?" Wu Jianye asked.

"good."

Wu Jianye: "Find out what kind of business this boss is doing, and then see how much money this boss is going to invest in the TV series he is going to cast for them?"

Xia Xiaohong nodded, "I see."

After Xia Xiaohong went out, Wu Jianye smiled.

"You're still in the mood to laugh, they're clearly trying to use your reputation to elevate themselves!" Zhao Fei said dissatisfiedly while sitting on the side.

Now that Zhao Fei has officially joined Tangting Culture, when Wu Jianye is not on the phone, Zhao Fei hangs out in Yanjing by himself, often wandering around the city, living a very comfortable life.

It was actually nothing serious for Zhao Fei to find Wu Jianye today. He had a drink with Chen Kaige two days ago, knowing that he was going to Cannes to participate in this year's Cannes Film Festival, and Zhang Yimou was also in Yanjing for some reason, so Zhao Fei suggested that everyone gather together as a way of doing well for Chen Kaige.

"This boss is really interesting!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Now in China, someone who can think of relying on the public opinion situation to improve himself is definitely a talent, which also made Wu Jianye interested in this Guangdong boss.

Zhao Fei complained: "It's a fart, you just admit it?"

Wu Jianye: "How is it possible, since the other party wants to try my wrist, let him see it!"

With the domestic development getting faster and faster, after experiencing a small trough next year, the domestic entertainment industry should develop in the right direction.

This also means that the dominance of Tangting Culture in China will face more and more challenges. In fact, this is another reason why Wu Jianye chose to start filming "Legend of the New White Snake" this year.

Due to indescribable reasons next year, the domestic film industry will suffer another blow, and this blow will come from the national level. Wu Jianye just took this opportunity to temporarily avoid the edge.

However, this does not mean that Wu Jianye has to endure challenges from others. He hopes that the domestic entertainment industry can flourish, but he does not want to see someone stepping on his shoulders.

If you want to use yourself as a ladder, you have to see if the other party has this strength.

Zhao Fei nodded: "That's about the same. By the way, are you going tonight?"

Wu Jianye nodded: "Go, let Chen Kaige treat you, anyway, his partner is rich!"

It was naturally Hong Huang who was talking about, and now the two of them can be said to be fighting fiercely, and they have already lived together.

Zhao Fei nodded and said, "This is necessary!"

In the evening, Chen Kaige showed his petty bourgeois sentiment as always, and chose a western restaurant as his place to treat guests. At this time, it was no news that western restaurants were in Yanjing City.

Those present included Chen Kaige, Hong Huang, Wu Jianye, Zhang Yimou, Zhao Fei, Tian Zhuangzhuang, who hadn't shown up for a long time, and Gong Li, who shouldn't have appeared.

"What have you been up to lately?" Wu Jianye couldn't help asking after seeing Tianzhuangzhuang.

In the past few years, Wu Jianye has been busy with his film career, and he is often away from Yanjing. Sometimes he came back and wanted to meet Tian Zhuangzhuang, but it turned out that the other party was either not in Yanjing, or he didn’t know where the secret was. I met less than two or three times.

Tian Zhuangzhuang still had that slovenly appearance, which seemed extremely inconsistent with the temperament of the entire western restaurant. Wu Jianye suspected that if he hadn't come with the crowd, the waiters in the western restaurant wouldn't let him in.

"It's filming." Tian Zhuangzhuang said as a matter of course.

"what movie?"

"The movie that reflects the subject of unmarried and pregnant women is now temporarily named "Special Operating Room"!"

Wu Jianye gave Tian Zhuangzhuang a thumbs up, and said, "You are awesome, do you think this subject matter can pass the trial and be screened?"

Tian Zhuangzhuang said disapprovingly: "Why not, I didn't shoot anything?"

Wu Jianye also admires Tian Zhuangzhuang's character. I don't know about other movies. Wu Jianye still has some impressions of this movie. It has been sealed for 17 years.
"Okay, don't try to persuade him anymore, Lao Mouzi and I have been trying to persuade him for a long time, and he just died like this." Chen Kaige said.

Wu Jianye knew Tian Zhuangzhuang's personality, so he didn't say anything. After sitting down, the waiter began to serve the food.

At this time, Chen Kaige can be said to be holding back his energy. Wu Jianye's success in front of him is enough to make him worry. Now Zhang Yimou, whom he has always regarded as his younger brother, has also won the Golden Bear Award. Taking "Kid King" to participate in Cannes this time is also for awards.
