China Entertainment 1997

On December 10, Fanxing’s official Weibo issued a statement that the contract with the company’s artist Fan Xiaopang had officially expired.

Fan Xiaopang retweeted this post on Weibo, and then posted a photo with her own handwritten farewell letter.

In the letter, Fan Xiaopang sincerely thanked Cao Xuan and Fanxing for their cultivation over the years, and recalled some unforgettable moments over the years.

She joined Fanxing at the end of March 2003 and has been with Fanxing for nearly ten years. She has gradually become the most popular actress in the entertainment industry from a young girl who has just emerged, even vaguely one of them.

For Fan Xiaopang, the stars carry countless beautiful things such as her dreams, youth, and career.

"...Although I may not be here in the future, please believe that I will always be a part of Fanxing, and I will always be proud of the achievements of Fanxing people!"

Cao Xuan replied under this Weibo: "I wish you a bright future and come home more often."

Artists from Fanxing also left messages of blessing. As the first sister of Fanxing, Fan Xiaopang has been Fanxing's number one star for a long time despite Cao Xuan's special circumstances.

Fan Xiaopang is also known for being a good person. Although his relationship with everyone is not necessarily particularly close, he still has a certain face-saving attitude.

Many people have even received her care outside, and her prestige and reputation among star artists are still good.

And with Fan Xiaopang's fame and status, not only celebrities from all over the world left messages of blessing, but also a large number of celebrities with whom he had interacted, and even those who had never interacted with him, also came over to cheer him up.

The entire comment area can be called a large gathering in the entertainment industry. There are countless big names. Ordinary first-tier artists can't even get a front row seat. Second-tier and third-tier artists have to struggle for several minutes just to find their names.

Many fans of popular artists even directly like and support their idols' comments in the comment area, with the intention of ranking higher to show their respect.

Even some senior media people couldn't help but marvel at such a scene.

At the same time, everyone also understands that Fan Xiaopang is able to achieve the status he has today, not only because of his own status and strength, but more importantly because of the connections and appeal that Sister Fanxing has accumulated over the years. ,

As the ceiling for equally famous Chinese entertainment actresses, Mr. Zhou and International Zhang would not even be able to reach one-third of what they are today.

Although part of it is due to her personality, we must also admit that the name [Sister Fanxing] is still very valuable. Fan Xiaopang has carried this name for so many years, which has brought her a lot of unexpected hidden capital.

The same goes for Hu Ge. As soon as he started to improve in the past two years, he immediately overthrew Huang Xiaoming and firmly established himself as the number one niche player in the Mainland.

Among them, the bonus of [Fan Xing Yi Ge] is very important. This is the advantage of the platform. With these four words, everyone has to give up some face wherever they go.

In addition to the excitement on Weibo, Fanxing also held a farewell ceremony for Fan Xiaopang.

Cao Xuan and Hu Jing attended together, and all the star executives and artists in Beijing were present. Even Gao Yuanyuan, Dong Xuan, Yan Kuan and other old friends who had left the company came specially to attend.

Tensile couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot, and even emotionally expressed that he didn't want to leave and wanted to stay in the stars for the rest of his life.

As soon as these words came out, the others were fine. Liu Tianxian and Damimi, who were holding back their upper position, almost couldn't hold back.

Fortunately, after being emotional for a while, Fan Xiaopang regained his composure and did not say anything stupid about staying in Fanxing even if he died. Three days later, he officially announced the establishment of a new company [Meitao Entertainment] on Weibo and was recruiting people. Recruit workers and build momentum for the project.

There was a lot of news about Fan Xiaopang leaving Fanxing, and it even made the headlines for many days in early December.

But when the situation calms down, everyone will focus more on the new Fanxing first sister in the future.

Whether it is Damimi or Liu Tianxian, they believe that there will be no shortage of excitement in the future.

Not only Xianmi, Fan Xiaopang's departure has directly affected the structure of female stars within the entire Stars.

Xianmi began to compete for the first sister, and the positions left by the two of them were naturally targeted by Zhao Xiaodao and Guo Zhenni. If Zhao and Guo succeeded in taking the position, Mao Xiaotong and Song Tie would also have to consider the vacant positions to replace Zhao and Guo.

At present, the movie resources within Fanxing basically give priority to Xianmi, and the TV series resources are basically picked first by Zhao and Guo, followed by Lan Xi, Zhang Li and others.

Mao Xiaotong and Song Tie could only play supporting roles with Zhao and Guo before. Not to mention heroines in A-level projects and above, even heroines in B-level ordinary projects had to wait and see their opportunities.

But if Zhao Guo succeeds, in addition to acting in some SSS-level or SS-level TV series, he will also have access to some movie resources.

Then the resources they save will be passed down. For the two of them, they have the hope of starring as heroines, even A-level or S-level high-quality potential project heroines.

If you are lucky and bet on a hot item, you may not be able to become the next Zhao Xiaodao or Damimi in the future...

Compared with Liu Tianxian's unique talent and crazy killing spree after his debut, in fact Damimi and Zhao Xiaodao are the "best ones to imitate" in the hearts of many female stars.

Fan Xiaopang can be considered inspirational in terms of experience, but her personal conditions are too good. Although she is also a rising star, her glamorous approach to the entertainment industry is really not something that ordinary people can imitate.

Damimi and Zhao Xiaodao are relatively normal, especially Zhao Xiaodao. Since his personal conditions are not particularly outstanding, his high-level experience seems to be a bit lucky, and his personality is not as sharp as Damimi, so he seems to be a bit "easier to bully".

Especially for this year's Golden Eagle Awards, Zhao Xiaodao and Liu Shishi competed head-on for the Golden Eagle Goddess, but they lost.

In fact, I can't blame Zhao Xiaodao for this. Let alone the popularity of "Step by Step", Zhao's popularity is already at a disadvantage.

As a result, "Step by Step" was still broadcast on Hunan TV, and Liu Shishi's two subsequent works were still broadcast on Hunan TV. The two parties were in the honeymoon period, so it was only natural that Zhao Xiaodao lost.

After all, the players and referees are from the same family, and no matter how good Fanxing is, he can't beat the referee's fate. If you bring Damimi here, you will lose or lose.

But this matter cannot be mentioned on the table, or no one will pay attention to it if it is mentioned.

Everyone will only think that Zhao Xiaodao relied on the stars, but in the end he lost to Liu Shishi, a Tang Dynasty man. He is a waste.

As for the shady story?

Why did Liu Tianxian and Damimi win in the first place? Rubbish is rubbish, don’t make excuses.

Zhao Xiaodao almost died of depression in the past two months. Losing to Liu Shishi was a particularly hard blow to her. It could even be said that the new four little girls who were competing for fairy honey lost all their opportunities.

Originally, in the selection of the new four Xiao Hua Dan, Zhao Xiaodao had the highest support rate, followed by Guo Zhenni, Liu Shishi only ranked third, and the last seat was taken by Tang Yan and Ni Ni.

Tang Yansheng became famous earlier, and she also has hit works. She is currently the first sister of Huanrui, and all of them are female protagonists. Her popularity and popularity are in the first echelon of 85 Flowers. Taken together, she can definitely be ranked among the four little dandies.

But Ni Ni has an extraordinary advantage, that is, she participated in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

"Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" took in nearly 600 million+ box office during the summer vacation, second only to "The Avengers" in the summer season, and currently ranks second among the movies released this year.

Of course, Ni Ni's role in the film is limited, but in "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins", which has a box office of over 700 million, she is the most serious heroine and has the most roles in the entire movie.

Although most of the credit goes to Lao Mouzi, there are not many actresses in the entertainment industry who can achieve this level of achievement, especially since most of them are still working in the field of TV series, which brings with them their own halo.

When it comes to outside reviews, audiences may vote for whoever is popular, but the media and some people in the industry still place more emphasis on film performance.

At that time, Mr. Zhou was not particularly popular. He was able to stand out largely because of his aura in movies, which was favored by many people.

Many people in Liu Tianxian's batch ridiculed him for not having many film achievements. Huang Shengyi was shortlisted, and "Kung Fu" was a big bonus.

In the current selection of the new four Xiaohuadan, Ni Ni's reputation and popularity are far lower than Tang Yan, but her film performance is also an obstacle that is difficult for Tang Yan to overcome.

As for Yang Tianbao, he is completely forced by the Hong Kong media. He has no good works and has not participated in any popular variety shows. From all aspects, he is not qualified to participate in the election.

What makes people even more speechless is that Yang Tianbao of the original time and space was actually shortlisted. At that time, she neither participated in Running Man nor appeared in any major productions. Her gold content was not even as high as that of Xu Cainv, the first generation of four little actresses.

It's just that Yang Tianbao was lucky. Later he met Running Man and became famous successfully. Putting aside everything else, he only considered popularity and popularity. Indeed, few 85 flowers could compare with her.

But now he can't touch porcelain, because Fanxing attaches great importance to the reputation of the Four Little Flowers.

At that time, Hu's family was founded on the strength of the four young ladies. Later, Fan Xiaopang also forcibly tied up the four young ladies and became one of the top stars.

Liu Tianxian and Da Mi Mi also experienced the marketing training of the Four Little Girls before they transformed into Xian Mi.

It can be said that the four little beauties have become a powerful tool for Fanxing to win over others. Even when the new four little beauties are created this time, they are actually the shadows of Fanxing, who intends to push Zhao Xiaodao and Guo Zhenni to the top.

In this case, Fanxing attaches great importance to the quality of the four little actresses. Tang Yan, Liu Shishi and Ni Ni all have excellent capital and conditions, so no matter who gets there, it will be justified.

But Yang Tianbao, who is pure porcelain, is unlikely to be recognized by Fanxing, so as not to lower the level of the four little actresses.

In the past, Zhao Xiaodao had good marketing and was likely to become the first of the new four Xiaohuadan. However, due to this tragic failure, not only did the Golden Eagle Goddess disappear, but she was now pushed to second place.

If she couldn't overtake the car as soon as possible, she might be under pressure from Liu Shi for a while.

One step is slow, one step is slow. With people like them, their fan base is huge. Even if Zhao Xiaodao has stars as his backer, it will be difficult to overtake him.

Because of this, Zhao Xiaodao is looked down upon by many people.

Fanxing's platform advantage is too great. Whether an artist of the same level is supported by Fanxing is a completely different matter.

Back then, Fan Xiaopang overwhelmed Li Bingbing in "Double Soldiers". If the latter hadn't left Hollywood, there would probably be no talk of "Double Soldiers" now.

Hu Ge was initially suppressed by Huang Xiaoming due to his age and seniority. Later, all parties used their strength to beat him directly.

Not to mention Liu Tianxian, he directly crushes his contemporaries, regardless of male or female stars, the difference is Liu Tianxian and others.

Damimi is also a ruthless person who kills randomly. Except for the perverted Liu Tianxian, she basically never loses in competition with others.

With this comparison, you can understand why there are so many negative comments about Zhao Xiaodao asking Liu Shishi to suppress it this time. It is really a record-setting shame.

Damimi even called Zhao Xiaodao specifically to ask what happened. Even if it happened for a reason, he shouldn't have lost so easily.

Mao Xiaotong, Zhang Li, Song Tie and others below are also a little wild-minded. Comparing their feelings, they feel that if they were Zhao Xiaodao, they would never lose to Liu Shishi and embarrass Fanxing.

In a word, he can replace it.

Zhao Xiaodao was very clear about the outside world's suspicions about the voice and sight of the written examination. At first, she was particularly angry and aggrieved, but now, her mentality has stabilized again.

She wanted to wash away this shame herself and tell everyone that she was not a waste of Fanxing, but the third pillar of 85 Flowers.

Hu De was particularly surprised by her transformation, and joked with Cao Xuan that she lost well this time, and it gave Zhao Xiaodao a lesson.

A good knife needs to be sharpened little by little before it can show its sharpness and kill with blood.

Damimi's achievements today are largely due to Liu Tianxian's constant stimulation. In order to catch up with or even surpass Liu Tianxian, she unleashed potential and efforts that others could not have imagined.

In the same way, Zhao Xiaodao had a smooth life before, so much so that he didn't pay attention to others at all, and only focused on Liu Tianxian and Damimi.

Although the goal is good, it is a bit too high-minded and low-handed. Now let her suffer a loss. She knows that there are people outside the world and tempering her mentality will be good for the future.

Hu felt that the loss was too timely this time. If Zhao Xiaodao really became the goddess of Golden Eagle and completely copied the previous route of Damimi, he might be in trouble.

Now, she was given a big fight by the boss, who woke her up, turned shame into motivation, sharpened her psychological quality, and lowered her attitude. Her future was much better than before.

"really not bad."

Hu Jing feels that this method is quite powerful, and now she has begun to think about finding an old enemy for Dili Rouba to practice with.

Cao Xuan also felt that it was good for Zhao Xiaodao to have such an experience. He was able to awaken in time and space, and he benefited a lot from his years of acting as a group performer.

If she suffers a little loss now, maybe she can evolve into a bun with black sesame filling.

To be honest, he was a little tired of watching the Xianmi Battle. If Zhao Xiaodao could participate in a new show, he would personally welcome it.

………

In December, Cao Xuan has already started the final work of preparing the album. It is expected that the new song will be released at the end of December and hit the charts, and it will be officially released in January.

This month also kicked off the Lunar New Year season, with many popular movies being released one after another.

International director Ang Lee brought his own "Life of Pi", which received good reviews and box office success. In just one week, it grossed more than 200 million.

Cheng Long's new movie "Zodiac" performed even more outstandingly, with a box office of over RMB 300 million in its first week, setting a new box office record for Big Brother's mainland movies.

Feng Pants also released the movie "1942", which he claimed to have worked hard to shoot.

Frankly speaking, apart from some controversial points, Cao Xuan thinks this movie is quite well made and can be regarded as Feng Pants' masterpiece.

What's even more rare is Zhang Guoli, who contributed an extremely wonderful performance and proved to everyone why he must be number one on the mainland's acting ceiling.

Chen Daoming, Fan Wei, Xu Fan, Feng Yuanzheng and Cao Xuan's master Li Xuejian also contributed outstanding performances. It is no exaggeration to say that this movie can become a classic, and the performance of these veteran actors definitely deserves the most credit. .

In particular, Li Xuejian's phrase "In the year of great disaster, it is too much" was not only completely tied to the dish of baked carp noodles, but also became a famous meme during the special period.

However, although the quality of the movie is good, due to the subject matter, it was a little less than well-received.

This is normal. Tragedies are inherently less popular than comedies, and historical themes are even more unpopular.

"1942" is not only a historical tragedy, but almost the entire movie is in a depressing atmosphere, and the narrative is also literary and artistic. Many viewers are not willing to spend money to watch this kind of movie in the cinema.

If we put it ten years later, if the audience's appreciation level increases, there may still be some hope of a big hit, but in 2012, the audience's consumption concept of movies has not yet reached that level.

Even taking into account the trend of the entire Internet, I am afraid that some people will think that Feng Pants is trying to slander Kaishen Gong, and then think that this movie is to please the official, and then directly give negative reviews.

This is no exaggeration. At this stage, many people have great malice towards main theme movies.

Even for "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", the narrative is very subtle, and it relied on factors such as stacking stars and booking theaters to win good box office.

Therefore, Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" series is very rare. At that time, no one dared to eat this bowl of rice. He gritted his teeth and filmed it to attract official attention, and then there were films such as "Operation Mekong" and "Operation Red Sea". Finally, "Wolf Warrior 2" is a box office hit.

Even so, Wu Jing was scolded so badly during "Wolf Warrior 2" that he couldn't read Douban's comments for a while, which triggered a large-scale verbal spat, and then he slowly regained control of the situation.

Let's go back to "1942". This movie did have too many flaws from a commercial perspective, so naturally it was not a hit.

Not to mention that he also encountered several powerful enemies at the same level.

Cheng Long's "Twelve Zodiac Signs" is officially expected to reach 800 million+, directly grabbing a lot of share.

The other one is even more terrifying. The low-budget comedy film "囧" directed by Xu Zheng made a box office of 300 million in the first week, and the total box office in the second week exceeded 600 million, with a film schedule rate of more than 35%.

These two movies together account for more than 60 to 75% of the film schedule, and they are both comedy-themed, which has a particularly big impact on "1942".

Considering the reputation of Feng Pants and the quality of the movie, if it were not stuck in this unlucky schedule, there is still hope for "1942" to reach 500 million.

But now, I am afraid that reaching 400 million box office is enough. In fact, this data is not bad, and it can hit the top ten of the year.

However, compared with the two movies of the same period, it seems relatively shabby. What's more important is that the investment in this movie is very large. The shooting cost alone is 150 million. Plus the publicity and distribution, I am afraid that 200 million may not be achieved.

According to this investment, the box office of "1942" must reach at least 600 million to make back the investment.

Of course, considering that advertising and other channels can bring back a wave of blood, due to the subject matter, I'm afraid it's not that ideal. There is a high chance that this movie will lose money.

Feng Pants has almost never lost money on the movies he has made over the years. This time, he paid for his dreams and feelings.

He himself couldn't say he regretted it, but the Huayi brothers were going crazy.

Spending time and energy and losing money, this time the loss is huge. Because of the stars, Huayi's scale is much worse than the original time and space, and its ability to withstand risks is not high.

A "1942" may not be able to recover from its financial reports in the past two years.

If the financial report data is not good, the stock price will fall, and investors will stay away. It will not cause the company to collapse, but if the decline cannot be restored, the vitality will be seriously damaged.

The two brothers complained a lot about Feng Pants. Cao Xuan had the capital to play with his feelings, and even attracted Lao Mouzi to make a literary film, but Huayi couldn't afford it. If this happened again, the two brothers would hold hands and jump off the building...
