Everyday film and television world

"Will you give it to me?"

Cai Quanwu walked around the screen twice, showing a rare smile.

"Must be willing!"

Without hesitation, Liu Hao answered firmly.

They gave you their daughters, so why not give up a dead thing?

If there is any hesitation in this answer, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Ah."

Cai Quanwu glanced at the girl's face with small eyes, and felt a little headache... This eldest girl is not too young, and logically speaking, she should have been married long ago, but first she was targeted by this kid, and now Going to college again... The most important thing is that this kid is too young, not yet married. God knows what will happen in four years.

Liu Hao didn't know that Cai Quanwu would spend so much time thinking about so many things in his head. Seeing his face improve, he thought it was his gift that had an effect.

"Why do you have time to come here today?"

Cai Quanwu knew that although these two children were busy with their careers outside of school, they were in Xiangjiang, and they usually took their studies very seriously.

"It's been a long time since I saw you. I miss you." Xu Jingli came to Cai Quanwu and acted like a baby.

"Didn't Jingping come back with you?" Cai Quanwu thought of his second daughter.

"Jingping went to practice singing last night and said she would come over later."

Xu Jingli turned to Liu Hao and said, "Jingping is much more diligent than you."

Liu Hao is depressed, you say you praise your sister, you can praise your sister, why do you have to step on me?

He thought so, but he immediately said: "That is, Jingping's talent is better than mine, coupled with the acquired hard work, the future achievements will definitely be higher than mine."

When Cai Quanwu heard this, he must have been delighted in his heart, but the expression on his face was calm: "Don't underestimate yourself, where is your talent worse than Jingping?"

"Master still understands me." Liu Hao stretched out his thumb.

"Stay aside."

Cai Quanwu knew that his disciple was the kind who would shine when he got a little sunshine, so he turned his head away in disgust, and carefully analyzed the screen with his daughter.

……

In Xiangjiang, although the weather is getting colder, the entertainment circle is getting hotter and hotter. This is largely due to the economic development of Xiangjiang, and the demand for entertainment and cultural life of Xiangjiang people is also increasing.

Boys, as always, like wooden warehouse battles and martial arts, while girls prefer urban emotional types. In the winter of [-], an urban ethics movie came to the fore, which aroused eager responses in the society.

This can be said to be a somewhat heavy movie, without so many gimmicks, and there are no wonderful actions or wooden warehouse battles. The girls even organized a group to watch it, and there were not a few viewers who watched it several times.

When people around you are talking about the same thing, and the comments are full of praise, you will definitely have a strong interest in this kind of thing-like this movie, for only 5 yuan, you can Pay once for your own curiosity.

Whether it is the dumb uncle or A Mei, they are actually ordinary people in life, with their own joys and sorrows.Uncle Dumb represents an ordinary person living at the bottom of the society; while A Mei is a golden phoenix who wants to fly out of the chicken coop with her talent and hard work. She just wants to bring a better life to herself and her relatives .

For most Xiangjiang people, when watching this movie, they can more or less understand the connotation to be expressed in it, and it can resonate in their hearts.

What's more, when Ami achieved the greatest success, Uncle Dumb passed away. This ending is very targeted.

Although many viewers can understand the story's attack on reality, they still have a lot of opinions on the ending itself, which creates disputes with those friends and colleagues who support this ending.

What is the best solution in a situation of constant debate?

Naturally, they looked for more prepared and sharper arguments from the movie, so they went to the movie theater again to contribute to the box office.

The people who originally bad-mouthed "Hitchhiking" have now switched camps, and have expressed their optimism for this movie. Most people think that this movie can go straight to the ceiling of 1000 million... Historically, the box office of Xiangjiang at this time At most, it's only seven or eight million yuan. Isn't it a movie?

of course not.

The superficial reason is the impact of movie ticket prices, but the deeper reason is the impact of Xiangjiang's economic development.

Historically, two years later, Cheng Long's "Junior and Brother" was the first Hongkong movie to break the box office of 1000 million.And now, "Hitch the Wrong Car" has jumped out like a dark horse and won this honor in advance.

As the director and leading actors of this movie, Tang Shuxuan, Sun Yue, and Jenny, have gained both fame and wealth, and the scenery is incomparable for a while... Aside from the production cost and various expenses of only one million yuan, the net profit of this movie is definitely higher than 800 million Hong Kong dollars, which does not include income from outside the port.

One movie can earn so much money, one can imagine how much its box office dividends are, and I really don't know how many people are jealous!

However, the box office storm caused by "Hitchhiking" is far from over.

On November 29th, the well-known "Overseas Chinese Daily" suddenly published a news that "Hitch the Wrong Car" under the operation of Taoli Group, next month... that is, December [-]st will be published in Nanyang, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. They were screened early, and according to sources, even filmmakers in Europe and the United States have become interested in the movie "Hitchhiking", and are in contact with Taoli Group.

"Huaqiao Daily" is a very influential media. Once the news was published, more media immediately published it, and "Hitching the Wrong Car" was pushed to the forefront, which was like another advertisement.

Of course, it's not just the director and leading actor who have gained huge prestige and benefits. As a screenwriter and lead singer, Liu Hao's fame has also soared.

As for profits...he became the largest shareholder of Taoli Group, who made more profits than him? !

……

Golden Harvest Company.

At this time, Golden Harvest is not the same Golden Harvest that crossed the Xiangjiang film circle in the 80s and 90s and showed an invincible figure, but it is certain to sit on the second look.

Originally, Golden Harvest's executives were already on the verge of a formidable enemy for Taoli Entertainment, which was following closely behind. However, the strength of "Hitch the Wrong Car" made them feel that the crisis had arrived.

Don't look at Golden Harvest's detached status in the Xiangjiang film industry, but they don't even have their own real estate - they rented two floors as their office space, which is nothing compared to Taoli Entertainment using their own real estate.

Cai Changyong came to Zou Wenhuai's office in a hurry, the two were old friends, so he just knocked on the door and opened the door to enter.

"Ayong, why is it so urgent?" Zou Wenhuai who was reading the newspaper raised his head and asked with a smile.

"Brother Huai, have you read it too?" Cai Changyong asked directly when he saw that Zou Wenhuai was also holding a copy of "Overseas Chinese Daily".

"Looked."

Zou Wenhuai put down the newspaper, tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and said with some emotion: "We really made eyeballs at the beginning. According to the box office appeal of Taoli Entertainment and Jenny, it is estimated that 500 million is not bad. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be soaring into the sky, which was far beyond our expectations, and this time, the distance between Taoli Entertainment and us has been greatly shortened."

"Tao Li Entertainment dared to decisively put this script into the market, which is quite remarkable. But the young man who wrote this script is even more rare." Cai Changyong said with admiration.

"Have you confirmed the screenwriter?" Zou Wenhuai asked.

"I've confirmed it. It's Liu Hao, who is the hottest singer in the music scene recently. He is also an excellent songwriter. He was also the screenwriter of the "Wulin Biography" that prolongs Jiashi's life recently. I didn't expect this guy to be really all-rounder. Really. I don’t know what else he can’t do.” Cai Changyong said.

"Is there any way to talk to him?" Zou Wenhuai asked.

"It's difficult. Liu Hao is a signed singer of Taoli Entertainment. Although he is a cross-border film and television screenwriter, it is impossible to cooperate with the company's competitors, right?" Cai Changyong said.

"Theoretically, it is impossible. But film is not a company's problem. As filmmakers, our responsibility is to bring more excellent works to the market and to the audience. We can consider cooperating with Tao Li Entertainment, the market is so big, It’s not something that a film company can fill.” Zou Wenhuai said.

Cai Changyong's eyes lit up: "This is indeed a good idea, I will immediately get in touch with the people from Tao Li Entertainment."

……

The sitcom "Wulin Biography" broadcast by Jiashi TV was completed in early November, with an average rating of 59.5% and a peak rating of 83%.After the broadcast, Jiashi continued to promote this TV series in Midnight Theater. Although it was not as popular as the previous period, it still maintained a ratings of about 35% during the same period.

A high audience rating means a large number of viewers, which also means an increase in advertising costs. This is the key point.

Of course, it is impossible to expect a TV series to turn the entire TV station into a profit, but there is hope right now, isn't it?

As early as when "Wulin Biography" was halfway through the broadcast, the top management of Jiashi began to think about the next response.

It is pure fantasy to support a TV station with a script, and it is a joke to support a TV station with a scriptwriter. In fact, Jiashi’s current management and artists are all very good, but the entire TV station is blocked by artificial fetters. , so it seems to lack bright spots, and "Wulin Biography" is this bright spot.

"Ask Liu Hao, if we can provide the same script as "Wulin Biography", we can pay a high price... no, it is double the price." Liu Tianci suggested excitedly.

"Wouldn't it be enough to tell Director Lou?" Zhou Liangshuyi asked strangely.

"Of course not."

Only then did Liu Tianci know that Zhou Liangshuyi didn't know about the relationship between those few.

"Liu Hao is just a singer of Director Lou's company. The copyrights of the lyrics and music he created are all in his own name, and the copyrights of his novels and screenwriters are also in his own hands. Mr. Lou has no choice." Liu Tianci said.

"Is that so..."

Zhou Liangshuyi suddenly became worried: "If outsiders know that Liu Hao's screenwriting rights are free, wouldn't that be a huge blow to Jiashi?"

"It's not that serious, is it?" Lu Guozhan said.

"Absolutely."

Sylvia Chow said seriously: "The Taiwan and overseas copyrights of "Wulin Biography" have already sold out, which is enough to show that his script is competitive. Once we cooperate with TVB or Li, it will be a huge hit for us."

"Could it be that every one of his scripts is like "Wulin Biography"?" Ye Jiexin seemed a bit unbelieving.

"Why not? Someone questioned him when he was writing songs, someone questioned him when he released a record, and someone questioned him when he was writing novels and acting as an actor, but you have all seen the answer. And what he wrote The script of "Hitch the Wrong Car" is also a big seller now, do we still need to doubt it?"

This time, everyone lost their voices.

In fact, they were too worried, at least for now, it is impossible for Liu Hao to write scripts for other TV stations.

And when Jiashi was about to contact Liu Hao through Lou Xiaowei, the script had already been prepared - "Bao Qingtian"!

However, the script fee has also increased. Liu Hao did not plan to participate in advertising dividends, but increased the script fee to 5000, not 50000 in total, but [-] per episode.

At the beginning, Jiashi didn't want to agree, but after watching the first few episodes, everyone had no opinion, and it was a high-profile signing...Of course, Liu Hao's party was represented by Taoli Entertainment, and Liu Hao had already authorized The book came along with the screenplay.

Liu Hao has a description of the actor's role at the back of the script. He suggested looking for an actor with a painted face who has a high attainment in opera—not for anything else, the key is that kind of aura, which many actors do not have.

The second is the role of Zhan Zhao. After several comparisons, Jiashi decided to choose Hui Tianci, who was well-known at the time, but Liu Hao didn’t have a good impression of this character, so he chose Andy Lau, who was four years younger than him... That’s right, It's what you think.

Although Andy Lau was admitted to the artist training class held by TVB in [-], he had already studied acting before, and his background was still good. Most importantly, he was one of the few people Liu Hao had been paying attention to.

From the first time Liu Hao came to Xiangjiang, he ticked off some of the names he knew, and whenever he had the opportunity, he asked people to know about them. The appearance of Jenny, Xiaozhuang and others caused some actors he was familiar with to disappear. But many people are still there, and even the life trajectory of most of them has not changed.

In the version of "Bao Qingtian" that Liu Hao has seen in later generations, Bao Zheng is played by Jin Chaoqun, and Zhan Zhao is played by He Jiajin, but now he doesn't know where these two are, and he doesn't bother to look for them. The four heavenly kings first flirt with each other.

Other roles can be assigned freely. For example, in the episode "The Case of Guillotine Beauty", the heroine is played by Jackie. This girl who looks exactly like Zhao Yazhi just finished playing "Fat Qian Han" last year. The media praised it, and " The box office revenue of Fa Qian Han also exceeded 700 million, which is quite impressive.
