China Entertainment 1997

"Popular Garden"

The 2001 phenomenon-level work has an even greater influence on young people than the 1999 "My Fair Princess 2".

The main reason is that the four male protagonists are too handsome, coupled with the plot arrangement of the "ugly duckling" being competed by multiple prince charmings, which touched the hearts of most young female viewers.

Just this routine was changed a few years later, and it was put on "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", and it still won another ratings championship.

Cao Xuan had been watching the mainland TV drama market before and almost forgot about this drama.

But don't worry too much. This drama was banned in mainland China after it premiered once or twice, apparently because it was suspected of promoting puppy love.

This led to the popularity of the DVD of "Meteor Garden", and many people went to Internet cafes to catch up on the show. It was the first work to set off large-scale online viewing in mainland China.

So there is no need to worry about whether it will affect the ratings of Fanxing drama. On the contrary, it is because of the launch of F4 in the TV series that it is worth noting.

The man who pushed a group of Korean boy bands to the ground and rubbed them became famous throughout Asia.

The two albums sold 7 million, and he was treated as a leader in Southeast Asia and other countries. Jay Chou of the Original Time and Space did not become popular in the mainland until the second half of 2002. To a certain extent, F4 was too popular, and Zhou was blocked.

The birth of F4 is destined to bring a wave of impact to the current music scene and even the entertainment industry.

As the first person of the new generation in the music industry, Cao Xuan will not be immune to the impact, but that's about it.

Cao Daguan is not Xiao Zhou who just debuted. He has been working hard for three consecutive years to become the Asian King. His fundamentals have long been stable and cannot be influenced by F4.

At this moment, if Cao Xuan wants to compete with Xie Feng for popularity like when he first debuted, then the past two years will be in vain.

Therefore, Cao Xuan was just surprised and quickly sold the copyright of "The Last Resort" to the crew of "Popular Garden".

Cao Xuan doesn't care about the popularity threats of F4 and "Meteor Garden", but he is still very concerned about the turmoil in the field of mainland TV dramas.

2001 was an explosive year for domestic dramas. In the first month of January alone, three hits were released in a row.

The first one is Ying Da's "Northeast Family". As the pioneering director of Chinese sitcoms, Ying Da has been investing a lot of energy in the field of sitcoms.

On the one hand, it is about feelings. Ying Da really wants to create another pinnacle work like "I Love My Family".

On the other hand, sitcoms are indeed a good business model for film and television companies.

The investment is low, the return is high, and the most important thing is that the plot can be kept together. In theory, as long as the popularity is enough, the TV station is willing to buy it. For a unit-type work like a sitcom, a hundred episodes will only require more screenwriters.

At this stage, the two major players in sitcoms, Kongzheng, have begun to exert their efforts. Only Yingda can really sell sitcoms at a high price.

In the past two years, "The Idle Man Sister Ma" had outstanding results, and he followed it up with "Northeast Family".

This sitcom, in which many comedians gathered together to describe a worker family in Northeast China, quickly aroused repercussions in the country.

At the same time, the theme song also became popular. With its unique style, this song quickly became popular on the Internet and became the first generation of Internet divine songs.

The names Xuecun and Music Pingshu were also reported by many media and quickly became popular.

In addition to "Northeast Family", Zhang Guoli also launched another of his series masterpieces "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" in January.

He Shen plays Wang Gang again after "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", and Emperor Ama Zhang Tielin plays Qianlong again after "Huan Zhuge Ge" series.

The Iron Triangle unites for the first time, and with the addition of the popular Yuan Li, it easily becomes a hit.

This was also Zhang Guoli's attempt to establish an independent branch after the rift between him and superstar Deng Dazui. The results were good and it further strengthened his determination to separate from the superstar.

At the beginning of the century, the mainland film and television market could not avoid the superstar Deng Dazui. This man came from an advertising background and was good at hype. It was he who carried forward the popularity of TV series pre-roll advertising.

Zhang Guoli's "Kangxi Private Interviews in Private" series was produced by Deng Dazui.

At their peak, the annual income of superstars ranged from tens of millions to hundreds of millions. In terms of profit ratio, Huayi was the younger brother.

However, Deng Dazui was not a very particular person. His mouth was full of oil when he ate, so Zhang Guoli could only barely drink the soup after giving him a lot of effort.

The first part of "Kangxi Private Interview" was a huge hit. The producer Zhang Guoli didn't make a penny and even lost some production fees. If he hadn't been paid for the film, he would have worked in vain.

In addition, this man, nicknamed Deng Dazui, especially likes to blow things up, blowing in the east and blowing in the west. He starts hyping things when nothing happens. This brings a lot of benefits, but it also offends a lot of people.

Zhang Guoli has always followed the line of a good old man and was very disgusted with Deng Dazui's approach of making enemies everywhere. After the initial honeymoon period, Lao Zhang planned to set up his own business.

Superstar owns the copyright of "Kangxi Private Interview", so Zhang Guoli made "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" instead.

Later, the two parties also cooperated, but the relationship was no longer what it used to be.

Lao Zhang first set up his own business, and then followed Feng Xiaogang to join Huayi. The superstar gradually declined, and Deng Dazui later became a laity.

Cao Xuan once had an idea for Lao Zhang, and if he could win him over to Fanxing, he would be considered a general. However, Zhang Guoli's reaction was mediocre and he really didn't want to work with others.

However, he did welcome Fanxing to participate in the project in his hands. Cao Xuan was noncommittal.

There is no problem with making money from Lao Zhang's projects, but they are all big-pot dishes, and they often bring in several companies to get a share of profit. There is really no profit, and Cao Xuan doesn't like it.

However, the two parties can exchange artist resources. Some of Lao Zhang's dramas are very popular, and Fanxing's dramas can also give some roles to familiar faces under his banner. Both parties will benefit from each other.

Although this person is a bit "sneaky", he has really strong connections and is recognized by his superiors. There is no harm in cooperating with him.

The last one is "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind" launched by Hairun Film and Television.

Lu Yi once again produced a representative work and has become a representative of the first-line niche.

Mr. Zhou is more famous, Chen Kun, Li Xiaoran and Sun Honglei are also famous.

Chen Yong also took this opportunity to announce the news that Lu Yi would take on the role of Bao Zheng in "Young Master Bao Qingtian 2", which immediately caused a thousand waves.

Lu Yi is very popular, Cao Xuan is even more popular than him.

His performance in "Bao Qingtian" was also recognized by many people. The rash substitution immediately aroused dissatisfaction among the fans of the drama, and even the media expressed doubts.

"Young Master Bao Qingtian 2" soon fell into the controversy of changing roles. Even the substitutions of Li Bingbing and Hu Jing were discovered by the media, which caused a stir.

If Cao Xuan is just an artist, even if he is a king, Chen Yong can throw the blame on Cao Xuan, Hu Jing and others with a specious word, and remove the crew from public opinion.

But Cao Xuan is more than just an artist. Fanxing's scale is no worse than Chen Yong's company.

The most important thing is that the copyright of the "Young Boy Bao Qingtian" series was originally in the hands of the crew, so Fanxing also had a 20% stake.

This small amount of shares won't play a decisive role, but it is definitely enough to disgust people. Once the lawsuit is filed, you will have to stop your multi-million project by using some means.

Therefore, Chen Yong really didn't dare to offend Cao Xuan, so he could only say that it was due to scheduling reasons and break up peacefully.

Fanxing and Cao Xuan didn't reply at first, but then Lu Yi, annoyed by the reporter's questions, couldn't hold back his temper and replied.

"I think the producers are right. I am more suitable to play Bao Zheng, and I am confident that I can perform better than the actors in the previous film."

Just this sentence almost caused a war between fans of Cao Xuan and Lu Yi.

Fan Xiaopang, who also joined "Young Master Bao Qingtian 2", was originally a newcomer to the crew, and he and Lu Yi have been advancing and retreating together, and they even cheered each other in front of the media.

As a result, after listening to Lu Yi's words, he disappeared directly. Ren Quan and Shi Xiaolong were asked to keep quiet by the crew. Li Bingbing did not participate in the show, so he naturally helped Cao Xuan, who had a better relationship with them.

"I think it is inappropriate for Lu Yi to say this. Let's discuss the matter as it is. Changing roles is beyond the control of the actor. We cannot implicate innocent people."

Li Bingbing said it quite politely. When Mrs. Hu, who was also one of the parties involved, was questioned by the media, she directly protected her husband in a domineering manner.

"Who is Lu Yi? I've never heard of him. I hope he can also win a national TV championship."

After a round of interviews with the parties involved, the media caught up with Cao Xuan at Baihua Recording Studio and got the answer from the real owner.

"When this drama airs, I will study hard in front of the TV (laughs)."

Lu Yi has always had a young, energetic and outspoken persona since his debut. Cao Xuan doesn't know if it's true or not, but he won't let go of his dignity and start a fight with him.

To be honest, the price dropped.

With Cao Xuan's fame and status, he has actually been able to enter the film industry and compete with the big names in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The reason why he is still acting in TV series now is because it is his own business.

Even if Cao Xuan is dismissed, the target will still be CEO Hairun or Hai Yan behind Lu Yi, and he will not argue with Lu Yi as a "pawn".

So he simply said something along the way, and the situation opened up immediately, and he could compete with Lu Yi's words.

The most important thing is that Cao Xuan's words put Lu Yi on the back foot.

If Lu Yi is worse than Cao Xuan in "Bao Qingtian 2", then that's fine. If he is not as good as Cao Xuan, or even on par, then just wait to be ridiculed by all parties.

However, although he turned against Lu Yi, the petty Cao Xuan still took revenge.

I dare not say that there are too many. It is estimated that it will be difficult for Lu Yi to participate in the film and television projects of Fanxing and closely cooperating companies in the future.

Even if Cao Xuan is willing to pay part of the price, he can steal the corner and make Lu Yi doubt his life...

In fact, Cao Xuan is used to this kind of thing. If he is popular, some people will try to hype him up. The media is also happy to report on it. It has long been commonplace in the outside world.

If it hadn't been for the intervention of Lu Yi, a popular niche, and Li Bingbing and Hu Jing, there wouldn't have been such a big disturbance.

Cao Xuan didn't take this matter too seriously. He paid more attention to the release prices, data flow, and the beneficial effect on the stars of these three popular movies, and then compared them with the star dramas to calculate how to make better money.

quarrel?

It's too late to make money...
