It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 735 Running Man signs contract, Go Fighting is about to debut! What is a domestic science fi
Chapter 735 Running Man signs contract, Go Fighting is about to debut! What is a domestic science fiction epic?
In the office, Wang Changtian said in a deep voice:
"Mango TV has a lot of popular variety shows. Because of this, Mango TV is very rich, influential, and even has a lot of publicity resources..."
After hearing these words, Fade Chen became even more confused.
Wang Changtian has been praising Mango TV for a long time, but the final result is that he wants to kick Mango TV out. What's the logic behind this?
Perhaps seeing the doubt in his eyes, Wang Changtian suddenly changed the subject.
“But it is precisely because Mango TV has too many popular variety shows that after acquiring Running Man, they are destined to not be able to allocate too many publicity and promotional resources.
So, in my opinion, the best option is to find a satellite TV station that has money but does not have the support of a hit variety show! "
Hearing this, Fade Chen suddenly realized!
"If we choose another TV station, it means we can get strong support from that TV station, whether it is publicity resources or prime broadcast time, we will have considerable advantages."
"That's right." Wang Changtian nodded and replied, "That's exactly what I thought. What we need to do now is to promote the reputation of this variety show, rather than doing a one-time deal."
Chen Fei originally did not have high expectations for the sales price of the first season of "Running Man" because in his opinion, starting from the second season, this variety show can officially start the "money printing" process.
The two of them sang in unison and soon decided on the follow-up plan.
As for Gu Yongqiang and Su Guohai standing aside, apart from nodding in support, they had no other opinions.
After all, they are not from the media industry and they still lack experience in this area.
After another half an hour, they had almost finished discussing the topic of variety shows.
Wang Changtian then suddenly mentioned another thing: "Fuck, I feel so upset just thinking about it. Guan Hu first approached Guangguang for the project of "Old Cannon", but he didn't expect that Huayi would snatch it away."
Chen Fei smiled and comforted him, "If it is destined to happen, it will happen. If it is not destined to happen, don't force it."
On the side, Gu Yongqiang changed the subject with great tact: "The Journey of Flower is almost reaching its finale, and Mango TV has found Youku and wants to buy the second round of broadcast rights. The price they offered is twice as much as other satellite TV stations!"
"Then sell it to them."
Although Chen Fei did not have a particularly good impression of Mango TV in recent years, including his impression of some of its hosts, he was still able to sell TV series.
For this kind of one-time deal, naturally we will cooperate with the company that offers the highest price.
What's more, the deputy director in charge of the TV drama project is an old acquaintance of his, and the two sides can continue to cooperate in this regard.
Although it is impossible to avoid marketing, bundling, mindless hype and other routines, as long as you act as a middleman, there will at least be a certain bottom line when marketing is carried out over there.
"Has the promotion of Red Sorghum begun?"
"Yes, it's already underway." Gu Yongqiang nodded, and added: "In the next one or two days, the post-production editing of Nirvana in Fire will be completed."
"Okay, just play them in order. When Nirvana in Fire is over, the new drama will be ready to go."
Listening to their discussion, Wang Changtian on the side couldn't hide his envy.
“When will the light be able to be like you and easily launch a hit TV series?”
"There will come a day."
Chen Fei smiled happily and cheered him on.
……
In a blink of an eye, it was already the 5th.
The box office of "Now You See Me 2" has successfully exceeded 3 million, far exceeding "The Expendables 3" and a number of domestic films released in the same period.
At the same time, six domestic films, led by "One Life, One World" starring Nicholas Tse and Gao Yuanyuan, were released in theaters at the same time.
Unfortunately, the entire film industry does not have high expectations for these films.
Because judging from their name, they are destined to be cannon fodder!
At the same time, information about several film and television works appeared on the Weibo hot search list:
"The crime and action film "Sicario", exclusively produced and produced by Feiyue Films, directed by Lu Yang, and starring Xie Miao and Liu Shishi, was successfully completed this morning."
"The film "The Pancake Man", directed by Dong Chengpeng and produced by Sohu, New Classics and Wanda, has officially started shooting!"
"The latest TV drama projects exclusively produced by Feiyue Films: "The Best of Us", "Together Together" and "Ode to Joy" have been announced to start filming in Hengdian, Dalian and Hangzhou."
"The legendary costume drama "The Legend of Miyue" directed by Zheng Xiaolong held its opening ceremony in Hengdian this morning. Sun Li, Liu Tao, Huang Xuan and others were present."
"The large-scale costume TV series "Empress Wei" starring Raymond Lam and Wang Luoxuan, co-produced by the mainland and Hong Kong, was criticized by the General Administration because the plot in which Empress Wei was glorified as a "white lotus" and a "Mary Sue" was considered inconsistent with history and seemed like pure "chicken soup for the soul."
Looking at the last piece of news, Chen Fei inexplicably felt sorry for Wang Luoxun.
As the first generation "Fly Girl" and the first Chinese actress to play the leading role in the Hollywood blockbuster "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", she should have great potential for development.
However, this sister was influenced by the artists from Huayi and resolutely opened an artist studio of her own.
Although this studio is affiliated with Feiyinghuang Agency, its resources will definitely be affected.
And now, because of the TV series "Wei Zifu", she has been subjected to a lot of doubts and criticisms.
In fact, Chen Fei said a long time ago that if you want to star in historical film and television works, you must stay away from the production team in Hong Kong.
Unfortunately, Wang Luoxun didn’t take his words seriously at all and resolutely jumped into this "devil's cave".
……
Hollywood is also a den of evil.
It has been several days, and after the first wave of "pornographic photos and videos" were released, the second wave has arrived!
Many fans find it hard to accept when they see that those European and American actresses who look so bright and attractive in front of the camera are actually so dissolute in private.
Chen Fei was not too surprised by this, because he had seen even more exaggerated things.
That's all... not even the tip of the iceberg.
There are many female celebrities who are even more exaggerated, more unrestrained, and have no bottom line than this in private!
Moreover, the Internet is much more open than in China. Some people are even selling nude photos at a clearly marked price.
The price of $350 attracted the attention of countless fans.
Even if many people stop being fans, they will not give up the opportunity to collect nude photos of the idol they once liked.
……
Arrived safely on September 9th.
On this day, the 71st Venice International Film Festival came to an end.
Unfortunately, "The Intruder", which had been shortlisted for the main competition unit, ended up winning nothing.
Under the media's lens, Wang Xiaoshuai acted a little lonely: "Next, I will continue to participate in the Venice International Film Festival with more excellent works, and hope to gain something in the next session."
Unlike the Cannes International Film Festival in May which was packed with great filmmakers, the Venice International Film Festival was a bit deserted.
According to statistics from The Hollywood Reporter, nearly 2014% of the Oscar favorites, such as the Turing biopic "The Imitation Game" starring Benedict Cumberbatch, the Hawking biopic "The Theory of Everything" starring Eddie Redmayne, and the directorial debut "Before We Go" by "Captain America" Chris Evans, chose to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival rather than the Venice International Film Festival.
For most movie fans and audiences, the film titles and names of people on the award list are quite unfamiliar.
In fact, before this, the Venice International Film Festival had contacted Chen Fei, wanting him to bring "The Revenant" to participate in this year's film festival.
However, due to time constraints, by the time he finished filming the movie, the shortlist had already been announced.
Both sides missed perfectly.
Of course, although this year's Venice International Film Festival was a bit deserted, it was precisely because of the presence of those people who "stole" the red carpet that it created a "lively" scene.
Although compared with their predecessors, those young actresses and actors are far behind, they have finally successfully taken over the baton.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will still appear when the Berlin International Film Festival begins the next second.
……
On the evening of the 6th, Chen Fei picked up Liu Yifei at the airport who had just returned from the Venice International Film Festival.
As the saying goes, a short absence is better than a new marriage!
That night, the two of them almost shook the bed down. If Chen Fei hadn't carried her to the sofa, they might not have been able to sleep in the master bedroom tonight.
What was frustrating was that he had to get up early the next morning because at 10 a.m., Feiyue Films, Guangguang Films, Youku and Blueberry TV were going to hold a grand signing conference.
In the future, the first season of "Running Man" will reach in-depth cooperation with Blueberry TV.
As for Mango TV, it was eventually kicked out.
As if she was awakened by Chen Fei's movement, Liu Yifei opened her eyes dazedly and looked at him, muttering: "You got up so early?"
"Well, I have something very important to do today."
Fade Chen leaned over and kissed her fragrant face, then tucked her in and coaxed her lovingly, "Go to sleep first, and when I come back, I'll take you out for some delicious food."
……
Blueberry TV put a lot of effort into this signing ceremony.
When Chen Fei arrived at the scene, he was surprised to find that the largest studio of Blueberry Channel had been carefully decorated.
At the entrance, a red carpet was spread out, with more than a dozen hostesses in evening gowns standing on both sides. They greeted every guest with sweet smiles and professional attitude.
At the end of the red carpet is a huge backdrop with the words "Joint signing conference between the producers of "Running Man" and Blueberry TV" written in large golden letters, shining brightly under the lights.
Similarly, there were many media reporters and spectators and fans on the scene.
The host of Blueberry Channel was dressed in a custom-made gown, looked elegant and graceful, and guided the audience and media friends on the scene with kind words.
Chen Fei did not enter through the main entrance, but went through a side door and went to the second floor with Wang Changtian and Gu Yongqiang.
For this signing ceremony, Blueberry TV specially arranged a deputy director to come.
"Mr. Chen, according to our plan, as soon as this signing conference is over, we will immediately start the promotion and marketing of the variety show. Before the National Day, we will try to make it known to the entire network and cover all places with network..."
Although Blueberry Channel is not as wealthy as Mango Channel, it still has certain advantages in terms of resources.
In addition, the show "Running Man" has a very good effect, and Blueberry Channel does not have a leading variety show, so it will inevitably invest huge publicity resources in it and give it the best prime broadcast time.
This happens to be the purpose of Chen Fei and Wang Changtian.
A few people were chatting upstairs when suddenly they heard a lively noise coming from downstairs.
Chen Fei looked down through the window and saw the members of the "Brotherhood" wearing uniform clothes. Some of them were handsome and some were full of energy. As soon as they appeared on the stage, they aroused cheers from the audience.
Seeing this scene, both the producers and the channel parties smiled unconsciously, as if they were seeing a hit variety show that was popular all over the country.
As the guests took their seats one after another, the press conference officially entered the signing ceremony.
The leader of Blueberry TV first took the stage to deliver a speech, highly praising the high quality of the "Running Man" program and expressing his heartfelt gratitude and high respect to the production team.
Afterwards, director Yao Yiji took the stage to speak, reviewing the arduous journey of the program from planning to shooting, and sharing every detail of the team's creative process.
Amidst warm applause, representatives from both sides walked up to the stage and jointly signed a cooperation agreement.
At this time, Chen Fei was holding a document in his hand, on which the final selling price of "Running Man" was clearly marked.
Unlike Mango TV which offered 3 million, Blueberry TV could only offer 2.8 million, a full 2000 million less.
But in contrast, Blueberry Channel’s publicity resources are top-notch, and its broadcast time slots are also the best.
Calculating it this way, it’s actually not a big loss.
……
As soon as the press conference ended, the relevant media spread the news as soon as possible.
"The outdoor reality show "Running Man" jointly produced by Feiyue Film and Television, Youku and Guangguang has officially reached an exclusive cooperation with Blueberry TV."
"The deputy director of Blueberry TV said: The first season is tentatively scheduled to be released in October and will be broadcast during the best prime time."
"Youku President Gu Yongqiang said at the event: "Running Man" will also be broadcast on Youku.com, and the specific broadcast time will be one day later than Blueberry Channel."
Suddenly, the circle became lively.
Many companies are inquiring about the transaction price of the first season of "Running Man". After all, this is the first time that a film and television company has produced a reality show and sold it to a TV station.
In the past, most TV stations produced reality shows themselves, which provided a safety net.
However, the price is a trade secret and no one can find out.
Neither the producer nor the broadcaster will reveal this most crucial information.
This also makes those film and television company bosses who dream of doing variety shows feel itchy.
They also wanted to follow Chen Fei's example, but were afraid of losing money. They were extremely conflicted.
After returning to the company, Chen Fei called Gu Yongqiang and asked about the news of another project.
"The production team of Running Man will be directly involved in the Go Fighting project, but Yao Yiji refused to continue directing the new project and instead recommended his senior brother Yan Min.
The project preparations have been completed, and we will announce it to the public once Running Man is released..."
After talking about the general plan, Gu Yongqiang suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, Director Chen, are we still going to bring light this time?"
When filming the first season of Running Man, I brought the lights in order to get help from their variety show production team.
Now, after several months of learning, Youku’s variety show production team has also graduated and can produce variety shows independently.
And this also means that the light is no longer useful.
However, after thinking for a moment, Fade Chen said, "It's not our style to kill the donkey after it has done its job. How about this? You go and find out what Mr. Wang thinks.
If he wants to join, we can give him 20% of the shares. If he doesn't want to, then we can do it ourselves."
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I understand."
Gu Yongqiang responded and then hung up the phone.
……
On the 8th, there was another blockbuster movie imported from the mainland.
The movie "Divergent", in which Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet plays a villain for the first time, has officially been released in mainland China.
For a time, many fans once again went to the cinema to chase the goddess, so that the situation of many domestic films became increasingly difficult.
Unfortunately, the sci-fi blockbuster "Divergent: Assassination" which was originally highly anticipated ultimately fell into clichés and suffered a reputational Waterloo.
Many science fiction fans went to the cinema with great expectations, hoping to see how their goddess would interpret the dark power of the new era, but they were helpless to find that the film ultimately became a visual carnival, the plot was empty, and the special effects, although dazzling, could not cover up the paleness of the story.
Not only did the film fail to delve deeply into the profound philosophical thinking behind the original work, it also stiffly piled up a lot of action scenes that were out of touch with the theme, making people sigh that another science fiction classic with unlimited potential has been adapted into a meaningless popcorn movie.
What is even more distressing to science fiction fans is that the production standards of the film are uneven, the details are roughly handled, and many scenes reveal signs of rushing, as if mocking the audience's IQ.
For a time, complaints were heard all over the Internet, and everyone said that it was a great pity in the science fiction world that such a great IP was wasted!
As a veteran science fiction fan, Chen Fei unfortunately became one of the audiences of this film.
He had originally planned to go with Liu Yifei to show his support, but in the end they had to return disappointed.
When he walked out of the theater, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "How could such an epic masterpiece be made like this? It's a pity to have such a good subject and cast."
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the script that Guo Fan had been adjusting and revising.
"It seems like the time has come. It's time for audiences around the world to see what a Chinese science fiction epic is!"
