The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 366 Oh Huh (two in one)

Wu Lang's mention of the Book of Changes was not without purpose.

In the current domestic TV drama market, three women are particularly prominent.

They are Cai Yinong, Li Shaohong, and Jiang Xueyuan.

Tsai Yinong is the leading figure in the Tang Dynasty, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series, "Young General of the Yang Family", and "Flying Fairies".

Li Shaohong is one of the fifth generation directors. After getting involved in TV dramas, she founded Rongxinda Company. She has a good eye for selecting people, but except for "Ci of the Ming Dynasty" and "Orange Is Red", she has no success.

The third is Jiang Xueyuan, she is one of the soul figures of Zhouyi.

This person is quite mysterious. Legend has it that she is Japanese, married to Wanwan, and then assumed the identity of a mainlander and opened a film and television company. She is the senior sister of Chai Zhiping, the godmother of Wanwan's idol drama.

Jiang Xueyuan first founded a pumpkin studio, named after her son, which consists of 20 powerful writers.

At first, it was not involved in film and television production. It focused on creating scripts and provided scripts to major film and television companies in a semi-professional and semi-entertainment format.

Because of Pumpkin's good work and excellent service, it has gained widespread popularity and has also accumulated a good reputation in the industry.

In the early days of its establishment, Zhouyi Film and Television had been brewing for several years. As the millennium approached, it quickly detonated the domestic costume TV drama market.

She carefully calculated the gains and losses in her mind.

It also gave Wu Lang an in-depth understanding of the inside story related to it.

Later, "Li Wei became an official" was infringed again, and Zhouyi lost a large sum of money.

In addition, the company's top management basically does not have any management capabilities, which is something a film and television production company must have.

Jiang Xueyuan and her husband were at odds over this, and were about to part ways. This incident dealt a fatal blow to Zhou Yi.

Of course, she was also very sure that Wu Lang would not really go to Zhou Yi. After all, Lu Yuan acted in this drama without doing his job, and his starting point was to praise Liu Shishi.

"Okay, let's sign the contract."

Last year, Zhouyi's first brother Yu Bo and his boss Jiang Xueyuan were exposed in the scandal of "food feeding scandal". It was rumored that the two were intimate on the set many times and even fed each other.

There was only one reason for raising Zhou Yi, and that was to get her to agree to a sky-high salary of 1500 million yuan.

In those years, Zhouyi Film and Television made great strides and produced films including "Love Through Time and Space", "Li Wei Becomes Official", "Xiao Shiyilang", "Water Moon Cave Sky", "Legend of the Spirit Mirror", and "Li Wei Resigns from Office" , "Eight Formations of Gods and Ghosts" and many other classic film and television dramas.

Wu Lang didn't know his artist's ideas, but that didn't stop him from executing them, understanding them, and using Zhou Yi's name to overpower Cai Yinong.

Cai Yinong also raised his head and glanced at him, pursed his lips, swallowed his unwillingness, and finally made up his mind.

The entire conference room was silent, so quiet that even the sound of turning papers could be heard clearly.

After leaving Huayi, he will start his own business. At that time, he will need a team of excellent screenwriters, not limited to martial arts, history, gangsters, crime, fairy tales, urban and other genres, to revise and perfect the script in his dream.

If she agrees, it means that Lu Yuan's salary will far exceed that of the above people.

But he quickly gave up the idea. The four satellite TV stations including Beijing were not fools, and Mango TV was not a brainless victim.

With its excellent original ability, Pumpkin quickly occupied a niche in script creation. More and more film and television companies began to look for it, and Pumpkin Creation Center became a guarantee for high-quality scripts in that era.

This possibility seems to be quite small at present.

He turned to look at Cai Yinong. According to the agreement when he founded the company, he was only responsible for the specific shooting, and the other party made the decision on such matters.

It has made many IPs of armed TV dramas popular, but it has never been able to make itself popular. It has also given its artists enough spotlight, but it has failed to cultivate big names in its own company. Because of the imbalance in the distribution of roles, it caused internal disputes.

The company handles everything from film and television script production, signing artists, filming TV series, to many tedious post-production projects.

Later, people at the Pumpkin Creation Center gradually became dissatisfied with the status quo. They felt that they had such an excellent creative team. Why not open a film and television company, write their own scripts, sign their own artists, and produce and sell their own films?

So Jiang Xueyuan, as the leader, joined forces with Yi Yi to do what he said, and Zhouyi Film and Television was registered and established.

In 2007, its previous partners, Ziyu Company and Lirenxing Center, which had jointly invested in "Shuiyue Cave", sold "Shuiyue Cave" to the Program Marketing Center of Modu Media Group for more than 180 million. However, Zhou Yi did not receive the money, and the lawsuit ended in failure.

"Pleasant to work with."

At the end of this year, the ban on Huayi's stocks will be lifted. He can cash out at high prices and leave. With hundreds of millions of funds in his pocket, he can't keep it in the bank and earn interest. Turning around and investing in Zhouyi or directly acquiring Zhouyi is a good choice. This is the plan he made last year.

Looking up, she saw in the mirror, her long hair shawl, and her lips were an elegant, sweet pink.

Liu Shishi closed the lipstick cap and pouted.

Community, 7: am.

In fact, Lu Yuan had noticed this company as early as last year when the "feeding scandal" broke out.

Li Guoli, on the other side of the conference room, felt depressed, opened his mouth, and thought to himself, why are you so sure that these two dramas starring Lu Yuan will be a hit?

Indeed, as he expected, Cai Yinong fell into a brief silence after hearing the words "Zhou Yi".

At the same time, Zhouyi's original script is really good, but poor is really poor.

She is also worried that if the two dramas become popular again, Wu Lang's appetite will become even greater.

Similar to Tang Dynasty, companies that produce high-quality dramas are prone to running out of money. They use up resources for one drama. If you are not careful, the funds for the next drama will most likely not be available. Maybe if you endure it, things will change. But Zhouyi was too unlucky.

But Zhou Yi, to put it bluntly, relied on his own scripts, and his resource allocation ability was very poor.

As a company boss, she will not be vague when it comes to competing for interests.

Yu Bo was also rumored to have been criticized for being "kept under the wing of Jiang Xueyuan for nearly 10 years" and "relying on Jiang Xueyuan for his position".

With a single episode of more than 30 yuan, it is already at the top of the mainland's small screen salary pyramid. Chen Daoming, Li Youbin, and Chen Baoguo are no more than that.

"Boom~"

After about five minutes, Wu Lang raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said slowly and unhurriedly: "If Mr. Cai still has questions, then after the broadcast of "Before Dawn" and "Snow Leopard" in the next two months, Shall we talk again?”

Wearing a blue casual denim jacket on the upper body, a white shirt as a base, and a long skirt of the same color on the lower body.

She spun around in a circle and flipped her long hair. Gu Ying said pitying herself: "Oh! Who is this girl? Why is she so beautiful? Tsk, tsk, tsk, look at this face, it's smooth and supple."

She pretended to think for a while and composed a crooked poem: "It's hard to give up on natural beauty. Lu Yuan is fascinated and fascinated."

"Pfft, Kukuku."

"It's hard to give up your natural beauty. It's obviously powdered, waxed and lacquered." Liu's mother passed by the door carrying the washed clothes.

Liu Shishi curled her lips. Her old mother must be jealous. She blew a kiss to her beautiful self in the mirror, twisted her waist, and put on her shoulder bag.

"Mom, I'm going out."

"Will you be back at noon?"

"If you don't come back, we'll eat out."

Liu's mother was hanging clothes on the balcony. She turned around and warned, "You should learn to drive and don't get angry with Lu Yuan. Just do what he teaches you. Pay attention to your safety."

"Oh, I know, you said it several times last night."

Liu Shishi didn't want to listen to his old mother's thoughts and trotted downstairs.

It was said that since she accompanied Lu Jia to Xidan last time, she realized that she had to learn to drive.

She had planned that when she became famous, she would drive a sports car and take the stinky man for a ride along the street, followed by paparazzi.

It’s exciting to think about.

So Baidu picked an auspicious day, early in the morning, and asked Lu Yuan to go to a remote section of the suburbs to practice his driving skills.

It was still early and there were no people on the street in the community.

She leaned against the big black G downstairs, fantasizing about what kind of car she would buy in the future, red or orange, and waited, but no one came downstairs.

After a while, just when she couldn't help but want to call her, Lu Yuan came out of the corridor carrying a small pink schoolbag.

"Hey, whose schoolbag is this?" She was a little curious.

Lu Yuan picked up his schoolbag, blinked, looked back, and slapped his forehead suddenly.

"Oops, I left Yaoyao upstairs." Liu Shishi: "."

Lu Yuan walked back a few steps, then suddenly turned around, took out his keys, opened the car door carefully, and threw his schoolbag into the back seat.

"You get in the car first, we have to take Yaoyao to school later."

After saying that, he held Liu Shishi's face and kissed her hard.

"Oh, no, my mother is watching upstairs."

Lu Yuan raised his head. Good guy, Mother Liu was staring at him from the balcony. This guy nodded and bowed.

"Hurry up and pick up Yaoyao."

Liu Shishi pushed him away, got into the passenger seat, took out his mobile phone and checked Weibo.

At this time, Weibo was flooded with news.

#FanBingbing wore a dragon robe and shined on the red carpet of the Cannes opening ceremony#

The reason was yesterday, when Chen Kaijun and the crew of "The Orphan of Zhao" flew to Cannes overnight.

When Fan Bingbing appeared on the red carpet wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and millions of Cartier jewelry, she immediately received a warm welcome from local international students who shouted her name loudly.

With her long hair tied up, she looks domineering without losing the mature beauty of a woman. She has become the biggest highlight on the red carpet and has captured countless films in an instant.

After Fan Bingbing's appearance spread to China, it was no surprise that it caused a stir on the Internet.

In the minds of Chinese people, the dragon represents men, while the phoenix represents women. At the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, Fan Bingbing dressed in a "dragon robe" and walked onto the red carpet, which undoubtedly broke many people's traditional concepts.

This person is Wu Zetian who wants to be in the entertainment industry. Her ambitions are obvious, which naturally attracts strong attention from the media and peers.

Ambitious robe, scheming girl, etc. There are all kinds of criticisms.

Liu Shishi was happily eating melon. He didn't know how long it had passed before the car window was knocked.

But they saw Lu Yuan standing outside the window. The little guy had his hands around his uncle's neck, his head tilted on his shoulder, yawning and rubbing his eyes, looking like he had just woken up.

Liu Shishi hugged her, put her on his lap, and hugged her waist. The little guy yawned again and fell into her arms.

"Good morning, aunt and sister," she called in a soft and cute voice.

"Good morning." Liu Shishi was accustomed to this address and pinched her chubby cheeks.

When Lu Yuan closed the car door, Yaoyao leaned into Liu Shishi's arms and muttered: "Uncle, you are a fool."

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. He was in a hurry to go out just now and only focused on getting his schoolbag. He really forgot that there was someone else.

As the car moved forward slowly, Liu Shishi naturally talked about the Fan Bingbing dragon robe incident.

Lu Yuanbian drove the car and replied: "Marketing, it's not surprising. Fan Bingbing's usual tricks. If you pay attention, you will find that every time she appears, she has different highlights, which always attracts the public's attention." .”

"If you ask me, those press releases that slander her may have been posted by herself. In fact, this is not the first time this has happened. As early as 2003, when Zhang Ziyi appeared on the red carpet of Cannes for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" , I wore a very Chinese-style bellyband outfit, and the big peony flower on the chest was particularly eye-catching."

Even though Lu Yuan said this, he actually admired her. If a Chinese actress wants to shine on the international stage, she will never go far if she only has a beautiful face. She must also have something that can highlight her temperament. Only in this way can she Be different.

Fan Bingbing is well aware of this. Although she is very utilitarian, she can still indirectly promote the classical beauty of the East. It is not right or wrong.

Liu Shishi nodded and asked curiously: "Brother, if you go to Cannes in the future, what will you wear?"

"Wear whatever you want." Lu Yuan parked the car in front of the school.

The Cannes International Film Festival, the Venice International Film Festival and the Berlin International Film Festival are also known as the three major international film festivals in Europe.

The difference is that Venice prefers art, while Berlin prefers realism and marginal themes.

Cannes is relatively commercial. It not only invites major brands to sponsor it every year, but also has a huge international film trading market that is gradually developing.

As for the other Oscar, it’s more political, so I might as well not mention it.

"Oh, please tell me more specifically." Liu Shishi refused.

He thought for a while and smiled: "If it's cold, Northeast Army coats and large flowered jackets are not impossible."

Liu Shishi was happy thinking about that scene: "Hey, then I won't go with you."

"No, you have to accompany me and wear big flowers with me."

"Pfft, hahaha."

"Uncle, aunt and sister, goodbye!" The little guy put his schoolbag on his back and slid out of the car.

Lu Yuan shouted through the car window: "Yao Yao, go to school hard. If you really can't study anymore, eat more and pay for it."

The little guy ran towards the school gate with his short legs. When he heard this, he turned to look at him, touched his belly, and nodded vigorously.

It doesn’t matter if you can’t learn it, Yaoyao won’t suffer any loss if she’s full.

Without the little guy's interruption, the two goods quickly arrived on the national highway with less traffic.

Then a nightmare began.

"Put your seat belt on."

"Handbrake down."

"I asked you to release the handbrake, but what did you do? Why did you fall down?"

"I pressed it wrong."

"This side is the handbrake, and that side is the seat."

"Get up quickly."

"Put it in gear, come on, no, come on, why are you pouting? I want you to step on the accelerator."

"Huh, you're being mean to me." Liu Shishi pursed his lips in aggrieved tone.

Lu Yuan: "..."

"Bao, can we walk in a straight line and not crookedly?"

"Turn, turn, your headlight is there."

"Why are the wipers still on?"

"Liu Shishi, do you see the dog in front of you?"

"Here, hit it."

"I don't dare, then put on the brakes."

"."

Why is it so difficult to teach your girlfriend to drive?

The key is not to speak loudly, raise your voice a little, then say with a straight face that you are being mean to her, Lu Yuan’s balls hurt, it hurts everywhere.

Fortunately, a phone call saved him in time.

"Ding ding ding."

"Who?"

"Wu Lang, I was told that there is a Qing Dynasty palace drama called "Palace Lock Heart Jade"."

"Oh, are you still practicing on the car?"

"Shi Shi, why don't you forget it? I don't think you are here to practice driving today. You want to find a new boyfriend."

"..."

PS: I wish all book friends that everything they want in 2024 will come true, and they will have a smooth journey ahead, much joy, and everlasting peace. Happy New Year.
