This star is wrong

"Fang Xing, the cultural industry should promote mainstream values ​​instead of blind entertainment, don't you think?"

Liu Jian'an led Fang Xing to visit the completed project of the Ningyun District Cultural Industry Park. During the period, he did not give a definite statement on the project of the 20 billion headquarters building of Ark Culture.

After visiting the Cultural Industry Park, Liu Jianan began to talk about the core values ​​of the cultural industry.

Fang Xing knew very well that if he wanted to win the favor of the leader of Ning Yun and enter the Cultural Industry Park, he would definitely not be able to blindly entertain in the output of cultural content.

"Of course, Secretary Liu said yes."

Liu Jianan put on a faint smile and said, "Actually, I like young people like you very much. I have also seen your performance. The "Song of the Seven Sons" on the Spring Festival Gala is the one that I will show you personally. The reason for the industrial park."

In terms of cultural content output, Fang Xing has indeed sung songs like "Song of the Seven Sons" and "A Man Should Be Self-Strengthening" that extol the integrity and backbone of the nation.

If there was no "Song of the Seven Sons", Liu Jian'an would not have come here in person today.

Accompanying the boss of a cultural enterprise to visit the industrial park does not require the head of Ningyun District to come in person.

However, because the songs that Fang Xing sang are very in line with the national culture that Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park wants to promote, Liu Jianan attaches great importance to it, which is why we met today.

"So that's it, Secretary Liu has worked hard." Fang Xing didn't expect this to happen before.

"The leaders of our district appreciate your singing, but you also need to improve in terms of film and television dramas. People in "Wulin Biography" are full of praise, but it is not enough to promote the national spirit." Liu Jianan pointed out.

"What does the secretary mean?" Fang Xing knew there was something else going on as soon as he heard it.

"Next year will be the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Aggression War. The General Administration of Culture advocates filming more films and dramas that promote the national spirit during the war era. Have you heard of this?" Liu Jianan took the initiative to mention this matter.

In fact.

Fang Xing had actually heard a little about this matter.

This matter has already started since the beginning of the year, and many film and television companies are preparing related film and television dramas to present for the 75th anniversary next year.

This matter is not mandatory, but advocated at the national level.

If you want to walk this road steadily, it is very important to keep up with the pace of the country.

Fang Xing nodded and replied: "I have heard a little bit, what does the secretary mean? If I make a film and television drama with related themes, the industrial park will grant me 20 billion project land?"

Liu Jianan pointed Fang Xing with his fingers, and laughed: "Young people are really straightforward. However, I like this direct way of doing things.

"The district has researched it, let Ark Culture settle in the Cultural Industry Park first, and you need to study the specific size of your project.

"At the same time, it also depends on your follow-up performance. Next year's tribute to the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Aggression War is a good opportunity. You might as well give it a try."

Fang Xing thought for a while and asked, "What does the secretary mean, should we make a movie that the audience likes to watch? Or don't we care about the audience's preferences?"

There are different shooting directions for film and television dramas with the theme of anti-aggression war.

Liu Jianan pondered for a moment and replied: "Naturally, the audience should like to watch it. If the audience doesn't like to watch it, who should we promote the national spirit to?"

Fang Xing nodded and replied, "Understood."

……

After chatting with Liu Jianan, Ark Culture always settles in Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park.

Of course, it is only in name at present, and the company headquarters will not be relocated immediately.

After all, the Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park is still in the planning and construction stage. The Ark Cultural Headquarters Building, which plans to invest 20 billion, has not even a shadow, so it is only nominally settled in the industrial park.

To put it simply, in the film and television dramas produced in the future, there will be related units of Ningyun Cultural Industry Park in the credit list at the end of the film.

Although the 20 billion Ark Culture headquarters building project has not yet started, Fang Xing has already caught up with the leader of Ningyun District.

Of course, this line is not yet solid and needs to show more strength.

After Ark Culture settled in Ningyun Cultural Industrial Park, it can be regarded as getting half of the amulet. Those ugly capitals have to weigh it first if they want to stretch their claws again.

……

After returning to the company, Fang Xing asked people to investigate the cultural export for the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Aggression War next year.

The next morning, a meeting was held at the company to discuss the matter.

at the meeting.

"Boss, about the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Aggression War, there have indeed been rumors since the beginning of the year..."

Qiao Yinghong recounted what she heard first: "I asked a few acquaintances in the film and television industry to inquire, and the State Administration of Culture really advocates the cultural industry and should promote the national spirit more.

"So, many film and television companies in the industry have prepared film and television dramas with related themes.

"However, the degree of emphasis is different. Some companies regard the theme of the anti-aggression war as an important project, while others are just pretending to shoot something casually to show their attitude.

"I focused on researching. The boss should want to know the news about Ruide Film and Television the most."

The first and second largest shareholders of Ruide Film and Television are Pengcheng Capital and Dingsheng Capital.

These two capital companies are already old rivals.

Fang Xing asked curiously: "Are they also preparing a film and television drama about the anti-aggression war?"

"Yes, and the investment is not small. In addition to the male lead is Xiao Luncheng, who is popular, the female lead is also a young flower. The rest of the cast is also very strong, with a total investment of 1.5 million. In the anti-aggression war In terms of subject matter, this is already a top-level big production." Qiao Yinghong replied.

Anti-aggression war-themed TV dramas are already a very mature genre.

This type of TV series has a very fixed audience. As long as it is filmed, the audience will basically watch it.

This has also led to this type of drama, which is uneven.

Among them, there is no lack of thunder dramas with thunder rolling in the sky.

Usually this type of drama can be filmed with B-level investment.

An investment of more than 1 million yuan is a top-level production.

The 1.5 million anti-aggression war drama that Red Film and Television voted this time is the top of the top.

Fang Xing continued to ask, "Apart from Ruide Film and Television? What other film and television companies have projects above A level?"

Qiao Yinghong picked up a form and said, "There are "The Spy" invested by Jade Bird Media for 8000 million yuan, "Unsung Heroes" invested by Tianlong Film and Television for 1.2 million yuan, and..."

She mentioned a series of film and television projects, and the investment is basically between 6000 million and 1 million.

A project of more than 1 million yuan is indeed a big project.

When she visited the Cultural Industry Park in Ningyun District that day, Qiao Yinghong also went, so she knew that this gift for the 75th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Aggression War is very important.

When visiting the industrial park that day, although Liu Jian'an just mentioned it casually, the top leaders mentioned it himself. If you think it's just a casual talk, you are really stupid.

After Qiao Yinghong reported on the large investments made by major companies in the film and television industry, she asked, "Boss, are we going to prepare a film and television drama about the anti-aggression war?"

Fang Xing nodded slowly: "It must be filmed, it depends on what kind of film you want to film."

Qiao Yinghong analyzed the limitations of other film and television companies: "Judging from the projects prepared by major film and television companies, half of them are battles, and the other half are spy wars.

"These two themes have a relatively good audience base. As long as the filming can be broadcast on stars, it will basically not lose money."

Guo Keda interjected: "Brother Fang, we have never filmed a drama with this theme. If we start preparations now, the time is very tight, and the script is also a big problem.

"I heard that because many film and television companies are preparing for anti-aggression war-themed film and television dramas, all companies are accepting scripts, which makes it difficult to receive this type of script."

When a film and television company wants to prepare a drama, it first decides on the theme, and then starts receiving the script.

If there is no ready-made one, the film and television company will even make an appointment with a well-known screenwriter team to customize a script.

Now, in the film and television industry, dozens of companies are preparing TV dramas on the theme of anti-aggression war, and good scripts have long been bought by big companies.

Even the well-known screenwriting teams are writing custom scripts.

It is indeed difficult to be satisfied if I want to receive scripts now.

Fang Xing guessed this situation early in the morning, and said: "I have considered this too. A TV series with this theme will definitely be filmed. Regardless of the script, the pre-production of the crew will be arranged this week."

Qiao Yinghong then asked: "Boss, are we going to shoot the battle type? Or the spy war type? Or other types of themes? When preparing the crew, we need to make preparations according to different themes."

If you want to shoot a battle-type TV series, you need to shoot a lot of locations, and the props team needs more explosive props.

If it is a spy war drama, you need espionage props.

Fang Xing already had a preliminary idea, and said directly: "Let's shoot spy wars. This type of audience prefers it."

Spy war is already a very mature genre in the film and television industry.

Also because this genre is mature, the preparations will progress much faster, and many props and crew members needed by the crew are ready-made.

However, because this type is very mature, there are already many jewels and jades in front of it, so it is not easy to shoot new ideas.

"Okay, then the new project will be prepared according to the 'spy drama', and I will arrange it tomorrow." Qiao Yinghong recorded the work content in the notebook with a pen.

After a pause, she asked again: "As for the script, do I need to find a screenwriter in the industry to make an appointment? If the price is high enough, I should be able to find a well-known screenwriter team to make an appointment, and the script can be completed within three months."

"No need, Zhang Yigao and I will discuss the script before deciding." Fang Xing replied.

"Okay, what is the boss' order? If not, the discussion of today's meeting will be over." Qiao Yinghong said.

"Let's stop here today, everyone get moving. Whether the bonus next year is big or not, I'll just watch this drama." Fang Xing said with a smile.

"Long live the boss!" All the employees of the company were excited and full of energy.

Since the company's revenue is so good that it explodes, the employees' year-end bonuses are very generous every year.

Whether next year's year-end bonus will be rich or not depends on the spy war drama to be prepared this time, so the company's employees are all working hard and ready to rush.

……

After the meeting, Fang Xing called Zhang Yigao to the office to discuss the spy drama project.

"We've never filmed a spy war drama before, are you confident?" Fang Xing asked first.

Zhang Yigao smiled heartily, and said: "If it's another theme, I can't say, but this theme is really... For a while, the film and television base had to develop dozens of spy war projects a year.

"The subject of the spy war drama really has a good audience base, even if the filming is thunderous, there are still audiences who are willing to watch it.

"There was a time when this subject matter could not be lost, so there were so many projects.

"When I was an assistant director in the crew, even when I was on-site, I participated in eight spy war dramas if not ten.

“So, I still have some thoughts on this topic.

"Of course, I haven't directed it before, so I still need to explore carefully."

Fang Xing was still very satisfied with his answer, nodded and said: "That's good, it's still double directors. In a few days, I will give you the introduction of the role first, and you and the crew will start looking for actors. I only need good acting skills and popularity. unimportant."

There is a new director project, Zhang Yigao is very excited, rubbing his hands together and said: "I understand, the boss never looks for fame when looking for actors, because no matter how famous he is, he is not as famous as the boss."

Fang Xing laughed and said, "You flatter..."

"I'm just talking nonsense, and there's nothing wrong with saying it anywhere."

Zhang Yigao made a joke, and then asked: "Is the boss going to play this time?"

Fang Xing thought for a moment, then replied, "That's what I thought about, but it will depend on whether it's suitable."

"Then what about the heroine? Is it the proprietress?" Zhang Yigao asked again.

"The heroine needs to audition, and the audition will be decided after the audition." Fang Xing did not make a decision immediately.

After all, this is a spy war drama, so there are still requirements for acting skills, so you can't mess around.

"Understood." Zhang Yigao nodded slowly.

Fang Xing continued to talk about the script: "I have relatively high requirements for old actors. At least one older actress with good temperament is needed. If you know this, please contact me first."

"Boss, don't worry, our company is no longer a small company that was unknown before. As long as the news is released, many actors want to participate in the performance." Zhang Yigao is very confident about this.

Nor was his confidence acquired blindly.

In fact, when filming "The Beginning", actors were not difficult to find.

It's just that the investment needed to be lowered at that time, so the film remuneration was very low, so it happened that Lin Yingxue's agency signed other crews.

However, it was later proved that Lin Yingxue did not accept "The Beginning", which was enough for her to regret for a whole year.

Zhang Yigao then asked: "Boss, how much do you plan to invest in this spy war drama?"

"8000 million to 1 million." Fang Xing doesn't need to invest this time, so the cost is relatively generous.

"If it's this investment, then the pay is very generous, and if the boss plays in person, it will be even more generous."

Zhang Yigao has long been impressed by Fang Xing's acting skills, so he fully agrees that Fang Xing will act in person, this will save the male lead's salary, and kill two birds with one stone.

After finishing the conversation, Fang Xing went home and started writing the script.

While writing, I considered which actors were suitable for the role, and if I felt that the image was suitable, I sent it to Zhang Yigao and asked him to arrange for the assistant director to invite auditions.
