Chapter 554 Anti-corruption TV series (two-in-one)

"Because the film and television works you shot, Brother Yi, have well shown the historical background and customs of the Black Province to the people across the country, and at the same time made outstanding contributions to the development of tourism in your hometown. Next, the province will award you a The Black Province’s Outstanding Youth Award, and we plan to nominate you for the National Outstanding Youth Award.”

Le Zehan told Yang Yi about the meeting he went to Heilongjiang Province the day before yesterday. Of course, not only Yang Yi was rewarded, but Le Zehan also gained a lot. Even the entire Mumu Film and Television company received gifts from the Heilongjiang Province cultural and tourism department. Here comes the New Year’s gift package.

"Don't you want the awards? I don't have the time to go back all the way to receive an award." Yang Yi frowned slightly. He was not interested in such vain awards, and besides, he was not in the film and television field. .

"How can you not want it? Other uncles in their 40s and 50s can be regarded as outstanding youths. I would not be happy if you, a genuine young man of the right age, with outstanding achievements and huge contributions, do not receive this award! Speaking of which, now the award is given to outstanding youths What kind of people are they? I think it would be better to change the name to outstanding entrepreneurs. You also count outstanding entrepreneurs. How many people started from scratch and have a net worth of tens of billions at a young age?"

Le Zehan boasted to Yang Yi so much that Yang Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Having a net worth of tens of billions is hard to deal with, right?

"It's okay if you don't want to go back to receive the award. I asked Leader Hu, and he said that it would be understandable if you were too busy and had no time to receive the award. I can go back to receive the award on your behalf when the time comes. But the one at the national level is probably too lazy. Go to the spot to get it, since it’s the capital city anyway, so if we talk about it then, we may not be able to make it into the selection.”

Le Zehan knew that Yang Yi didn't like to participate in these retreat activities, but it didn't matter, he liked to participate!

For example, Yang Yi's movies and TV series won a bunch of miscellaneous awards, and he took the place of Yang Yi and led a group of leading actors to receive them.

After receiving the trophy and certificate, Le Zehan left them in the company.

Their company has a good relationship with the General Administration. On the one hand, Yang Yi has done well and won an Oscar. He can also dominate the box office market in beautiful countries and around the world. He has received key training arrangements from the General Administration. On the other hand, On the other hand, it is also because of the support of the leaders in the Black Province, "The Long Season" the year before last, and this relationship has continued to this day.

He himself is Yang Yi's number one fan.

In the past, Yang Yi was criticized by many people in China when he went to receive an Oscar. Now if he doesn't keep up with his publicity work, he will definitely get into more trouble in the future.

Le Zehan definitely wasn't criticized when he went to the General Administration for a meeting, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to hold back and call Yang Yi directly yesterday, and wouldn't have stayed until today to talk in detail in person at the company.

"Just deal with it. Don't delay the promotion of "The Wandering Earth" and the promotion of this movie. Do I have to come out and show my face?" Yang Yi said and hesitated for a moment.

But it seems that "The Wandering Earth" is a little different. After all, 500 million was invested in this movie. Needless to say, he actually knows that this movie has a lot of box office pressure.

"Brother Yi, do you want to join our promotional lineup for "The Wandering Earth"?" Le Zehan was a little surprised, but after looking at Yang Yi, he laughed, "Forget it, Brother Yi, I know You mean, but this time you came out to promote "The Wandering Earth", what will you do with your future movies? If you don't promote other movies in the future, our investors will not have to bother you every day, saying that you favor one thing over another, "The Wandering Earth" will Give them publicity, but don’t give them publicity to the movies they invest in?”

Whether it's the promotion of a movie or a TV series, it's actually a waste of time to roll it out. He really has to run it one by one. For the "Fireworks in the Day" project alone, he has to start in November, and he can't do it until now. I have been traveling all over the country, recording programs, broadcasting live broadcasts, and using various methods to promote the movie.

He has almost never participated in the promotion of his own movies, even the film "Fireworks in the Day" in which he and Li Mengfei co-starred.

"So, my task is to write the script and shoot the film!"

He prefers to put his time and energy into his works, and other than that, he spends time with his family.

And what Le Zehan said does make sense. Their family can understand Yang Yi's willfulness, but investors will not think about Yang Yi.

The wealthy Mumu Film and Television has now bought the small building they rented before and renovated it. Le Zehan specially built a beautiful showroom at the entrance, displaying the works that his company has shot, All awards received are displayed.

These are all honors!

It's both Yang Yi's and his, and it's their company's joint honor!

"Actually, whether you will attend the premiere or our various promotional activities, the audience and your fans are already used to it. For the promotion of "The Wandering Earth", it would be great if you come, but if you don't come, you won't be able to do it." It will have a very bad impact. Compared to seeing you live, I think your audience and fans are more looking forward to seeing more of your movies and TV series. You only released two movies last year. To be honest, I am disgusted by them. Less!" Le Zehan laughed.

Do you have to take on the responsibility of helping with publicity?

It's not that Yang Yi is not needed for the promotion of "The Wandering Earth", but Le Zehan understands Yang Yi's thoughts too well. Yang Yi doesn't even care to go to receive awards. He definitely doesn't want to get involved in the complicated matters of roadshow promotion.

"Yes, what kind of meeting are you going to?" Yang Yi was still a little curious.

He doesn't have that much time to do promotions, finish the production of the movie, and start shooting of new projects. If he wants to maintain high production and maintain high quality, he can't be delayed by the publicity cycle in the middle.

Le Zehan's words made Yang Yi feel comfortable. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the time before the Chinese New Year to sort out the scripts of several kung fu movies that he planned to shoot in the future. He would revise the scripts that needed to be made and draw the storyboards that needed to be drawn. The workload was quite heavy. If he wants to be fully involved in the promotion work of "The Wandering Earth", these things will have to be postponed later.

He won't have much time after the new year, because the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is scheduled to start filming in March!

Le Zehan was like a roundworm in his stomach, helping him veto the things he didn't want to do, so that Yang Yi could write his script with peace of mind!

"Yes, speaking of writing scripts, Brother Yi, when I came back yesterday, wasn't I called to the General Administration for a meeting again?" Le Zehan didn't just want to talk about awards and the company's year-end bonus, he also had a third thing. I have to tell Yang Yi.

"Actually, this meeting was not held by the leaders of the General Administration. This time, the General Administration was only responsible for summoning several well-known film and television companies in our country, and then two leaders from above came to convey the spirit. The main meaning is to encourage Several of our companies have produced some TV dramas with anti-corruption themes. Don’t ordinary people like to watch TV dramas? TV dramas with this kind of theme can expose and criticize corruption, convey the country’s determination to fight corruption to the people, and also have a positive impact on the people. The vast number of XXX groups can serve as a wake-up call and a deterrent." Le Zehan briefly summarized the contents of his meeting yesterday.

Yang Yi nodded thoughtfully: "What you mean is that they want us to make an anti-corruption TV series."

"It doesn't have to be ours. They just said there is such a policy support direction. In fact, every year, some realistic-themed film and television works are supported, but the support money is not very much, hundreds of thousands, millions, Those small companies may care more, so we won't set up a project just for this little money, right?" Le Zehan waved his hand. "Didn't you say that the people you summoned were all big companies?"

"Yes, but the money is definitely not that much, but if we want to make a film, if the script is good and the content is good, the General Administration will coordinate with CCTV or local TV stations to provide more resources. Just like we did when we filmed "Cyclone", Those departments will definitely cooperate.”

Le Zehan laughed: "Speaking of "Hurious", our company also made a prominent case this time. The leader took our "Hurious" as a key case and praised it for a long time. Later, the leaders of the General Administration even asked me to introduce my experience."

Although he has been praised, Le Zehan has little interest in filming TV series with "anti-corruption" themes.

The reason is very simple. Even if they have the successful experience of "Hurry Up", shooting a drama with this main theme can still easily lead to a thankless situation.

Le Zehan even feels that the success of "Crazy" is not because it is a TV series about fighting gangs and evil, but because it is more like a dark-themed TV series about "Gao Qiqiang's rise as a gang leader."

Mumu Film and Television can now thrive in the commercial field, so there is no need to engage in serious dramas and wade into this muddy water, right?

"Let me tell you about this. It doesn't matter whether we film or not. No matter how much the leaders attach importance to it, it doesn't matter if we don't have a script, right?" Le Zehan followed what he meant, but he suddenly saw Yang Yiruo. With a thoughtful expression, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Brother Yi, you don't really want to make this kind of drama, do you?"

Yang Yi actually nodded to him: "The anti-corruption theme you mentioned, I was watching the news before, and an interesting idea came to my mind. I will sort it out later, when will I write it, and then show you the script? look."

"Brother Yi, don't you plan to focus on kung fu movies next? Why do you still want to make a TV series? And it's this kind of serious drama." Le Zehan couldn't laugh or cry.

Yang Yi told him about his plan to make a martial arts movie.

"The Wandering Earth 2" will definitely not be launched so quickly. Investors and themselves must first take a look at the performance of "The Wandering Earth" in the film market before they can decide whether this film will become a big IP and whether they will continue to invest more. Possibility of a sequel.

Moreover, Yang Yi wants to make a kung fu movie. While his master Deng Xingyong can still fight, he can also appear on the screen with his master. At the same time, Master Yuan Kui is getting older year after year. Yang Yi wants him to see the revival of kung fu movies and the day when traditional martial arts return to glory!

Le Zehan also wants to see a martial arts movie made by Yang Yi.

"I'm not the one to shoot it. Aren't we going to shoot "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the first half of this year? Lao Jin has no arrangements. I plan to let him give it a try." Yang Yi said with a smile.

Apart from Yang Yi, the directors of Mumu Film and Television now have a pairing of Liao Chunsheng and Shen Qiu Shuang who can take charge of their own business.

Not only is Liao Chunsheng rich in experience, he can lead the team independently without the guidance of Yang Yi, but he also has two very successful works under his belt, "Hurry Up" and "I'm Not a Passerby", and has also made a name for himself, accumulating a lot of audiences. edge.

Therefore, in the past few months, Yang Yi could concentrate on the production of "The Wandering Earth", while Liao Chunsheng and Shen Qiushuang led a large team to prepare for the filming of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

In fact, Jin Longbo has also experienced it. He originally came from a directing major and his foundation is better than Liao Chunsheng. He was led by Yang Yi to make many blockbusters and even went to Hollywood to study.

He also lacks an opportunity to lead a crew by himself!

"Didn't you plan to let him film martial arts with you before?" Le Zehan asked doubtfully.

"Well, I have this plan. But I also talked with him. He personally hopes to develop on modern and contemporary themes and urban themes," Yang Yi explained.

It's normal for Jin Longbo to have such thoughts. After all, he used to do variety shows. Compared with ancient costume themes, he will be more comfortable with modern themes, whether it is suspense or love.

Yang Yi originally wanted to find another script for him with a modern urban background. Just in time, Le Zehan helped him find the direction.

"It's relatively easy for him to shoot this, and Wen Jingchen can also practice with him." Yang Yi added.

Jin Longbo and Wen Jingchen have a very good relationship, probably because when he first came to Mumu Film and Television, the first person Wen Jingchen met was Jin Longbo. Wen Jingchen regarded Yang Yi as his teacher and Jin Longbo as his big brother who talked about everything.

Arrange Wen Jingchen to be Jin Longbo's deputy. The two of them should be able to cooperate more happily.

Moreover, such a serious drama is not difficult to shoot, and the key narrative rhythm has been properly arranged by Yang Yi. It is very suitable for Jin Longbo to use such a drama to exercise the director's ability. If he were to make a suspense film or a martial arts film right from the start, Jin Longbo would probably be very panicked.

"It's okay for Lao Jin to shoot this. He's a pretty decent person, so it's not a big problem to shoot this. But I still need to read your script first." Le Zehan pondered.

"Well, my script may be bolder. When the time comes, you can show the script to the boss. If it can be filmed without editing our plot, we will film it again. If it doesn't work, forget it." Yang Yi knew that he was about to take it out. The story in the script was so exciting that his scalp felt numb after reading it.

"How bold can you be? We were even allowed to film "Hurry Up."" Le Zehan hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the problem.

Le Zehan suddenly laughed mischievously: "We'll talk about this later. Brother Yi, if there's nothing else, I'll go and get busy. The release date of "The Wandering Earth" will be announced soon. There are a lot of things going on! "
