China Entertainment 1997

The movie thing is just an idea at the moment.

At least this year, Fanxing doesn’t have the time or capital to run a movie. It will take at least next year or the year after that if the project is to be officially launched.

In fact, if they really make a movie, funding is not a problem for Fanxing, and director talent is easy to find. The key is distribution and theaters.

Fanxing's current connections are all very good in the field of TV dramas.

It is no exaggeration to say that Fanxing has initially formed certain cooperative relationships with many provincial and Taiwanese channels such as Jingtai, Lutai, and Modutai.

Cao Xuan is confident that he will sell all the projects currently launched by Fanxing. The only difference is the price and the importance of the TV station's resources.

However, Cao Xuan's ambition is even greater. He wants to embrace CCTV, which is the largest platform in the TV drama industry today.

"Love Across Time and Space" may not be suitable, but "Golden Pink Family" and "Yan Shuangying" both have the opportunity to be broadcast on CCTV.

Let's not talk about "Jinfen Family". It won the annual ratings championship in 2003 and broke the highest ratings record among CCTV's eight channels.

The original version of "Yan Shuang Eagle" and "Hero" was also broadcast on the CCTV evening channel, and was even directly produced by the CCTV Film and Television Department.

CCTV has a big business and the money they give is not much, but it is certainly no less than those of satellite TV stations.

The most important thing is that the CCTV platform has great advantages, not only for selling advertisements, but also for second-round broadcast rights.

Because according to industry rules, if CCTV obtains the first broadcast rights, it will almost default to the exclusive broadcast rights.

In other words, there is only one premiere TV station, CCTV, and the potential for rebroadcasting of TV series is huge. The second-round price is definitely more expensive than the joint premiere of multiple satellite TV stations.

Of course, it depends on the specific situation. If CCTV's TV series has good ratings and the major sub-channels broadcast it in turn, squeezing the rebroadcast space, then it is unlikely to be sold at a high price.

But under normal circumstances, CCTV will not look so ugly, and will only give ratings to a few unpopular channels.

Cao Xuan is now trying to build relations with CCTV.

He attended the Spring Festival Gala three times and acted in "The Swordsman" produced by CCTV. He also got to know some relevant leaders. No matter how familiar he was, he could still talk fluently.

CCTV is indeed more interested in "The Golden Family". It is an adaptation of a famous work and stars Cao Xuan. It is also very popular, so there is no harm in winning it.

The two sides are now in contact. After the crew starts filming, CCTV will send people over to take a look and then discuss it.

The field of TV dramas is developing smoothly. In terms of movies, Cao Xuan and Fanxing are just pure newcomers. Let alone connections, he has never even acted in a movie.

However, Cao Xuan also has goals. He has no connections, but he is popular, so he can just take advantage of him.

Distribution and theaters can be handled by China Film and Television, but if it is not possible to bring Bo into the fold, Fanxing can only manage film and television production.

Moreover, Han Sanye, the actual head of China Film Group, is relatively easy to deal with.

Regardless of his merits or demerits, this person really wants to make Chinese films develop upwards, and he also encourages and takes care of domestic filmmakers and companies.

If Fanxing wants to make a movie, Mr. Han will definitely be happy to see it come to fruition, and even support him. He is a very good partner.

Domestic TV dramas basically only need to connect with the platform for sales and purchase, and at most add an advertiser. Things are not that complicated. The main thing is to safeguard the interests of the platform and the film studio.

However, in the film industry, there are too many interested parties involved in production, review, distribution, and screening. In many cases, it is impossible to be alone and can only give up part of the interests.

At least until he doesn't have enough theaters, Fanxing will have to pretend to be a "grandson" for a while.

………

Just as Cao Xuan was thinking about it, he looked down and saw that both pig trotters had been chewed up by Xia Yu.

"Holy shit, you haven't eaten in days."

"Yuanquan is not at home, so I am too lazy to do it. I eat box lunches in the rehearsal hall every day. I am almost starving."

"Good guy, let's go out to eat."

"No, I have to save money to change my house. Damn it, housing prices in this capital are too expensive."

Xia Yu muttered, even though he debuted early, he didn't act in many movies, and his pay was not high. He didn't get a few acting roles from advertisers, and he even bought a house in his hometown in the past two years.

Now my relationship with Yuan Quan is considered stable, but the place I live in is too small, so I want to change to a bigger house.

But the house in my hand has never been sold, and I don’t dare to invest all my remaining savings in one go. I can only save a little and plan to earn more before making a down payment.

"How about I lend it to you?"

"Farewell, I'm not in the habit of borrowing money. Besides, it's almost the same. Didn't Yuan Quan film your company's movie? The salary will probably be enough."

Cao Xuan said nothing more after hearing this. Not borrowing money from friends is one of the best ways to prolong friendship.

Besides, it’s not that Xia Yu is really short of money, but he just can’t spare his hands for a while. If he asks, Cao Xuan will definitely give it to him. If he doesn’t want it, Cao Xuan won’t force it into someone else’s hands.

However, he still reminded Xia Yu to buy a house early, and don't sell a small house. If you hold it for a long time, you will make a steady profit for at least twenty years.

Cao Xuan doesn't know much about things like financial stocks, Bitcoin, and they are changing so fast that it's too exciting.

So some friends asked him how this big boss manages money, and he usually recommended buying a house. For artists who don't understand finance but have some money in their hands, this is the safest investment.

Maybe in the future when Penguin goes public, he will recommend buying some Penguin Goose shares.

Forget about the rest, if he makes a profit, he has no benefit. If he loses, it's hard to explain.

If a man's kindness becomes a grudge, he might even hate him, but Cao Xuan really can't do it...

While the two were talking, the premiere of "Swordsman" finally started on TV.

There is no song in the opening theme, just a piece of guzheng and flute playing, which kind of complements the plot of the drama.

The ending song is the song of the same name, "Swordsman", sung by Liu Huan and Wang Fei.

"A sword flutters and a life is filled with smiles and pride

The floating world is overwhelming and human feelings are vague

A fluttering sword and a lifetime of smiles

A song that lasts forever

…”

This song was written by teacher Zhao Jiping. It is basically the style of the theme song of a CCTV drama. The boys are bold and the girls are tender. They sing very grandly.

Originally, Cao Xuan and Wang Fei were scheduled to sing, but Cao Xuan was busy with a concert at the time and had no time at all, so it was Liu Huan who was the one with the big beard.

In fact, in terms of style, this song is really more suitable for Liu Huan. Cao Xuan can also sing it, but it may not feel as heroic and desolate as Liu Huan.

Liu Huan and Wang Fei also served as part of the interludes in "The Swordsman".

Cao Xuan has always been curious. It seems that Li Yapeng met Wang Fei on the set of "The Swordsman".

It is said that Li Yapeng played mahjong with Wang Fei all night, and accumulated a deep friendship. Later, "Feng Fei Lian" ended, Li Yapeng and Mr. Zhou also broke up. Li Yapeng launched a warm man offensive, providing basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, and being attentive to the queen's heart in one fell swoop.

I have to say that Li Yapeng still has some skills in this aspect. It seems that Mr. Zhou and Wang Fei both won with the warm man's offensive.

Cao Xuan admired him very much. Not to mention Mr. Zhou, he had played mahjong with Wang Fei, so he knew how addicted this man was. He drank cigarettes and coffee all night long and was full of energy. He couldn't serve him anyway.

Now, with Cao Xuan intervening, he was curious, could Li Yapeng still become good friends with Queen Wang?

Cao Xuan gossips about King Li more than the TV series itself, because he doesn't feel much about the TV series he made, while Xia Yu has not watched it and prefers to watch TV series.

The first episode opens with the plot of the Fuwei Escort Agency. Yue Lingshan and Laudnor Hotel disguise themselves, the Qingcheng faction fights and causes trouble, and Lin Pingzhi acts bravely when he sees justice.

This is also a famous scene in the online martial arts world, and it is also the reason why Lin Pingzhi is deplored by many people.

Because he is essentially a chivalrous young man. Unfortunately, due to various conspiracies and power, he eventually embarked on the path of darkness. The tragedy in him is too heavy.

The fighting scene was very simple and could be done in two or three takes. Xia Yu didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, he praised the few fleeting locations and the Sichuan accent of the Qingcheng School.

This is also a shortcoming of Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts dramas. Not to mention the location, the supporting roles are all in Cantonese, and the dubbing is all in Mandarin.

This is actually understandable. After all, Xiangjiang has its own geographical limitations and cannot be too harsh.

But having said that, in such a big drama, the Qingcheng style and the Sichuan dialect did bring some freshness and Jianghu, and it also seemed real and full of fireworks.

However, there are some people who are stunned by the Hong Kong and Taiwanese martial arts. They insist on attacking this matter, talking about the dialect, and forcefully treating this as a poisonous point.

As for later martial arts dramas rarely being filmed in dialects, frankly speaking, this is a big regret.

In fact, dialect is a very powerful weapon for actors to create characters. It can emphasize and deepen the audience's impression of this character from the side.

For example, in "Wulin Gaiden", why are the characters in the play so distinct? In addition to their own personalities, dialects are also a major feature.

There is also teacher Zhao Lirong, whose works in the Spring Festival Gala have been enduring for a long time. The phrase "palace jade liquid wine" has even become an anti-espionage password, and her impressive Tangshi accent also contributed a lot.

I think those who use dialects in movies and TV shows that are rubbish or even rubbish have either poor IQs or have been brainwashed by overseas public figures.

Hollywood itself plays with the Texas dialect, and major European countries do it very hard. Japanese movies and TV shows also use accents to enhance character attributes.

Allowing foreigners to use dialects means respecting rural and urban culture, while Chinese dialects are soil and dross.

Cheap or not!

Moreover, most Chinese film and television dialects only emphasize the region, increase realism and emphasize characters, but many foreign film and television dialects are clearly regional.

On TV, Lin Pingzhi's plot is temporarily over. About halfway through the first episode, Linghu Chong, played by Cao Xuan, finally appears.

Showers, bamboo forest

Linghu Chong wore a bamboo hat and linen clothes and straw sandals. He knocked out a stupid thief in three or two strokes. He held a wine with his sword and took a sip. Not only was he handsome, but he also exuded a dash of chivalry.

"My dear, you look so cool here."

Xia Yu is a bit of a lemon. To be honest, Linghu Chong's appearance in the play is indeed not good-looking, and even a bit crude.

But I couldn't stand Cao Xuan's good looks. Not only did he hold up the tattered clothes, but in line with the performance and scene, he also had a rare air of a knight-errant.

Cao Xuan was very satisfied when he saw the handsome guy in the play.

Not to mention my acting skills, my face has never scared anyone since I debuted...

Also, before twelve o'clock, it's the last two days and I'm begging for monthly votes to support ▄██●
