Chapter 312 Guiding Light 【Two in One】

It is said that Sohu Company is indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, capable people emerge in large numbers.

Even to some extent, Sohu can be called the "Whampoa Military Academy" in the field of video websites.

You must know that Gu Yongqiang, who was the president and chief operating officer of Sohu at the time, left Sohu and founded "Youku" after he failed to evade Zhang Chaoyang.

Two years later, Li Shanyou, vice president of Sohu, also embarked on the same path as him.

But what is interesting is that when Gu Yongqiang founded Youku in 2006, Li Shanyou also founded Kuliu.com in the same year.

Now three years have passed, Youku and Kuliu.com have become the biggest competitors of Sohu Video in the field of video websites.

I have to say that Zhang Chaoyang had a really good vision in his early years.

But it's just a little too good, so good that he can't control himself.

I am afraid that only Zhang Chaoyang knows how he feels.

……

At the same time, Gao Fei's view of "Weird Man Yizhimei" suddenly changed greatly.

You must know that he didn't pay much attention to this drama at the beginning, he just took it as a dispensable spare tire.

But when Gao Fei figured out the underlying reasons behind the two phone calls, Gao Fei had a vague feeling that making TV dramas might be more profitable than making movies in the future.

This made him can't help but have another idea.

After all, Fan Bingbing's studio can produce a "Golden Taiban", so why can't he get involved in the field of TV drama production?

But then again, at the beginning Fan Bingbing crossed the river by touching Gao Fei, who would have thought that now she has become Gao Fei's reference.

The world is impermanent, nothing more than this!
Gao Fei has no embarrassment about this, anyway, it's just learning from each other and making progress together.

But there was one thing that made Gao Fei a little worried.

Because in the TV drama market, there has long been a habit of watching people buy dramas. For example, in recent years, as long as there are TV dramas starring popular stars, most of them will be easier to sell.

It's just not as extreme as it is now.

Therefore, Gao Fei wants to confirm whether the Sohu Video family has become impatient, or the entire industry has become eager for quick success.

Thinking like this, Gao Fei immediately whispered a few words to Han Li in the quiet night.

So Han Li soon picked up her mobile phone and inquired about news through her contacts in the circle.

Taking advantage of this gap, Gao Fei asked the logistics staff of the racecourse to bring over two dinners.

You must know that since they talked about this in the afternoon, they have been busy with their work, and they didn't care about eating at all.Seeing them talking there with serious expressions, the staff of the racecourse didn't dare to disturb them.

And when Gao Fei quickly wiped out the three dishes and one soup in front of him, Han Li also had results.

Seeing that she didn't even look at the dinner in front of her, she quickly said:

"I asked. Last month, the crew of "Beauty's Scheming" offered a high price to invite Chen Kun. It is said that it was suggested by the TV station, but Chen Kun still didn't agree in the end."

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but raised his brows slightly curiously and said:
"High price? How high?"

At the same time, Gao Fei couldn't help feeling emotional, but he didn't expect Chen Kun to hold it like this.

However, facing Gao Fei's question, Han Li not only did not answer, but shook his head and said with a wry smile:
"It doesn't matter anymore, because no matter how high he is, his price is not as high as Zhang Ziyi's!"

After all, without waiting for Gao Fei to ask, Han Li said with complicated eyes:

"I also just found out that not long ago, the Beijing Art Center prepared another big drama called "The Legend of Zhen Huan."

"I heard that the art center wanted to invite Zhang Ziyi to act as the heroine at the beginning, because director Zheng Xiaolong felt that her temperament was very suitable for the heroine Zhen Huan in the play, so he did not hesitate to offer a salary of 30 yuan per episode. It is a pity ..."

After that, Han Li shook her head speechlessly.

Hearing this, Gao Fei was stunned immediately, and asked after a while:

"30? How many episodes are there?"

"...Episode 76!"

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but gasped.

Even though the heroine may not be featured in every episode, the nearly 2000 million single-play remuneration is definitely a record in the field of domestic TV dramas.

Compared with this figure, Gao Fei didn't know where he was dumped for the 800 million yuan he received when he filmed "Xian San".

Although Gao Fei had already expected that the star's salary would increase, it was the first time he felt such a change so intuitively.

In an instant, Gao Fei remembered the Sony Pictures that Li Lianjie had told him before.

He suddenly felt that the current video sites are a bit like the former Sony Pictures, they are all newcomers who broke into the entertainment industry and are stupefied.

And if we look at what has happened in Hollywood, I am afraid that the salaries of the stars in the future will have to rise.

Thinking of this, the light in Gao Fei's eyes suddenly became brighter and brighter, and he finally made up his mind.

But it was very late now, so even if Gao Fei wanted to do something, he could only wait until tomorrow.

Thinking in this way, Gao Fei relaxed and fell on the sofa behind him, and opened his eyes lazily after a long time.

And Han Li didn't dislike the food being cold, so she sat down and ate something casually.

After a rare moment of relaxation, looking at the sky full of stars above his head, recalling the news Han Li just said, Gao Fei suddenly couldn't help but sigh:
"What do you think Zhang Ziyi is thinking? Why doesn't she accept such a good offer?"

"Is it that embarrassing to make a TV series?"

Although it is said that there has always been a chain of contempt in the circle, making film actors often look down on their colleagues who make TV dramas, but that is only for ordinary actors.

For example, although Chen Daoming is very popular in the film industry, he has also made a lot of TV dramas, and no one dares to despise him!
At Zhang Ziyi's level, there shouldn't be such a problem.

And whether it's a movie actor or a TV actor, aren't they all actors, why bother to hold it like this?
But seeing what Gao Fei said, Han Li pondered for a moment, then suddenly said thoughtfully:

"I've heard some gossip... Maybe it's related to Director Zhang Yimou?"

"Oh? Tell me?"

Hearing this, Gao Fei suddenly became interested, and immediately sat up curiously and waited to hear the gossip.

Seeing this situation, Han Li didn't let it go, she frowned slightly and said:

"I heard that after filming "My Father and Mother" in 98, Director Zhang once told Zhang Ziyi that she should never take on TV dramas in the future, because it would ruin her reputation and reputation."

Having said that, Han Li spread her hands helplessly and said:
"But this kind of gossip has always been difficult to distinguish between true and false. Only they themselves know how to estimate the truth."

Hearing this, Gao Fei immediately nodded in understanding.

But after a moment of silence, he still couldn't help shaking his head and said:
"Not to mention whether what Lao Mouzi said is right or not, even if what he said is reasonable, it was said ten years ago. Now the times have changed, how can we still look at things with the old eyes?"

Seeing what he said, Han Li immediately nodded approvingly.

She also felt that Lao Mouzi's words were too biased.
After all, compared with 98, the domestic movie and TV drama market has changed a lot. As for video websites, there were no shadows back then.

Under such circumstances, Director Zhang's opinion really does not have much reference.

Compared with Lao Mouzi, Gao Fei still thinks Hu Jun's point of view is more reasonable.

When he was filming "Dragon Babu", Gao Fei, who was still a buddy, once asked Hu Jun for advice on the performance scale.

Hu Jun said at that time that although dramas, movies, and TV dramas have different performance requirements for actors due to different carriers, the essence is still performance.

So as long as the characteristics of these three are well grasped, as long as the actor has a solid foundation, he can basically switch between the three at will.

And Hu Jun's words are not taken for granted.

Because he joined Renyi after graduating from Chinese opera, and he stayed for ten years.During this period, Hu Jun rehearsed a large number of dramas.

It was not until the drama market became more and more sluggish in the end that Hu Jun left Renyi in 2000 and started to get in touch with other film and television dramas.

It can be said that Hu Jun has indeed achieved the random switching in his mouth.

……

But no matter what Hu Jun thinks, there is indeed some kind of invisible chain of contempt in the current circle, which is indeed a fact.

Therefore, when they learned of Zhang Ziyi's choice, although most TV drama production companies in the entertainment circle felt a little regretful, they were not too surprised.

It was also for this reason that when Cai Yinong received Han Li's call, he did not reject her immediately, but fell into a long silence.

But after thinking for a long time, Cai Yinong thought about it and called Li Guoli over.

After she briefly introduced the situation, Li Guoli couldn't help frowning.

"You mean...Gao Fei wants to cooperate with us?"

"Not bad! In the name of Gao Fei Studio, I participated in the production of "Weird Hero Yizhimei"."

Speaking of this, Cai Yinong was in a complicated mood.

In other words, she actually felt that it was unlikely that Gao Fei would take over the show, but she only sent Gao Fei an invitation with the idea of ​​playing two shots if he had a chance.

But Cai Yinong really didn't expect that Gao Fei actually agreed.

It's just the way of agreeing that made her a little unexpected.

After all, in today's entertainment circle, there has never been a precedent for an actor to participate in the dividends of a TV series.

But after listening to Cai Yinong's words, although Li Guoli understood her scruples, he had another opinion.

After pondering for a while, he nodded slowly and said:
"I think you can give it a try!"

As soon as these words came out, Cai Yinong couldn't help frowning.

But before Cai Yinong opened his mouth to question, Li Guoli took the initiative to explain:
"I understand your scruples, but if we look at it from another angle, it's actually not a big problem."

"Think about it, what's the difference between his studio and a film and television company now? There are artists and there are artists, and there are projects and projects!"

Speaking of this, Li Guoli immediately sighed with emotion:

"Based on the profit of his studio this year, I'm afraid it has surpassed most of the film and television companies in the circle!"

Seeing what Li Guoli said, Cai Yinong's expression couldn't help but soften a bit.

Because according to Li Guoli's statement, the main body of Tang Ren's cooperation this time is not an actor, but another rather powerful film and television company.

In this way, it is not a broken rule.

After all, Tang Ren has worked with other companies for so many years.

For example, the original "Young General Yang" was co-produced by Tang Ren and Huayi, and the other producer of "Peerless Twins" was Jin Yingma.

Seeing this situation, Li Guoli didn't know that Cai Yinong had also figured it out.

However, the reason why he chose to agree with Gao Fei's plan was because of another important reason.

Because there were no outsiders in the office, Li Guoli didn't hide anything, Dang even cut straight to the point with a solemn expression:

"Actually, having him participate may not be a bad thing for us!"

"As you know on the TV station, the success of "Xian San" this time has a lot to do with his fame."

"Even "Xian San" can sell so well this time, it has something to do with his reputation in ratings."

Hearing this, Cai Yinong finally nodded slightly.

But she also knew that Li Guoli didn't say anything.

That is, after the endorsement of Sohu Video Station, Gao Fei's participation can greatly reduce Tang Ren's financial pressure.

We must know that they have launched three TV drama projects this year, and the financial pressure is still very high.

And if Gao Fei agreed, Sohu Video could sign the contract almost immediately, which undoubtedly reduced Tang Ren's risk.

Thinking of this, the two had no doubts after looking at each other.

……

So not long after, Gao Fei received a reply.

Xiongan Racecourse, on the open-air viewing platform.

Gao Fei who hung up the phone immediately laughed and threw the phone aside.

Seeing this situation, Han Li knew that the matter was settled, so she couldn't help but smile immediately.

In other words, she didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

After all, besides Gao Fei's fame and word of mouth, the only chips they can get here are the pre-order contract of Sohu Video.

In the current situation, TV stations are still the main source of income for TV drama production companies.

Therefore, when Gao Fei first proposed his idea, Han Li didn't have much confidence.

But after the excitement, Gao Fei did not get carried away.

I saw him sighing with emotion:
"I really have to thank Zhang Ziyi this time. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't know how the market in the industry has changed so quickly!"

Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but nodded.

In fact, thinking about it now, if Zhang Ziyi is willing to make a TV series, she can completely copy Gao Fei's approach.

With her "International Chapter" name, no buyer can be found in the auction.

Moreover, since she entered the film and television industry, she has never filmed a TV series, so the gimmick is even more sufficient.

It's just a pity that she still can't let go of the airs of a movie cafe after all.

Of course, Gao Fei just said a few words of emotion at will.

If Zhang Ziyi really had to go down to earth, he might be so angry that he would jump on the spot.

After all, things are rare and expensive, and it is enough to have a strange person like him in Chaoxianxian.

As long as the other bosses continue to hold it, don't meddle in it anymore!

Thinking of this, Gao Fei quickly started working on the first TV series under the name of the studio.

Among other things, he must send someone for at least the finance.

He didn't want the director to buy a villa before he made any money after filming a TV series...
