Chapter 447: "Miss Hong Kong" is losing credibility
Selling TV series is a science, do you think it's okay if the drama is good?
Wrong!
It also depends on the cast, the production company behind the scenes, and even the popularity of the drama itself.
Why are there only so many actors in the dramas we see? Because the TV station only recognizes them.
Only when the TV station thinks these actors are TV celebrities will anyone buy the works starring these actors.
The second is the type of work!
The wind direction of film and television dramas is also ~
After this period, the film and television companies are investing in spy war dramas and popular mother-in-law dramas. You will find that on TV, there are all mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wars.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Chen decided to do the spy trilogy in succession, "Before Dawn", "Landing" and "Cliff" came one by one, and to harvest the ratings as much as possible.
There are few palace fighting dramas, only one of the movies "The Legend of the Golden Branch" was released in 2004, which is still from Hong Kong TVB, and has no reference value.
Although Zhang Chen knew that "Beauty's Scheming" sold well in history, he was somewhat unsure if he was on his own, so he simply took the insurance and let Fan Xiaopang star in it.
With the popularity of "Painted Skin", "Beauty's Scheming" can also be sold at a good price.
As for the popularity, it is better to understand.
The higher the attention, the higher the audience's expectation, and naturally they can sell for a good price.
The cast, the gossip and plot settings are all related to popularity.
Therefore, the bearded man will have no limit on hype. It is online voting and a star who hits the ball. Some people pay attention to it and no one pays attention to it, the price is completely different.
Zhang Chen even thought about whether he should make a bearded hype, make an audition or something.
Anyway, it's just for fun, and the audition results are not important at all, and the role has been decided long ago.
But think about it, it's too bad.
Didn't you see that you're growing up and no one cares about your beard?
After "The Return of the Condor Heroes", he tinkered with other Jin Yong projects, but who would pay attention to him~
I can only say that it is not that I will not report, the time will not come.
The fruits eaten now are all the causes planted in the past~
The little dragon girl voted in "The Godly Condor Heroes", and Jiang Qinqin won the first place with 100,000 votes. She alone accounted for nearly half of all the candidates, 47%, but it was useless and she didn't even have the chance to audition;
Wei Xiaobao cast the casting role in "The Deer and the Cauldron", Xu Bald Head is also the first, but there is still no chance;
The people who grow up beards are just teasing you~
The audience will know that this bastard is just a simple hype, so who will foolishly contribute to your popularity~
So Zhang Da Beard is cold~
Zhang Chen doesn't want to be cold, so he dare not copy the beard to grow up.
In fact, if you just want beautiful women, you don’t need auditions at all, just choose whatever you want in Hengdian.
There are too many beauties in Hengdian, and they are flooding~
Too many young and beautiful girls dream of becoming famous overnight. They feel that they are not vague and that they will definitely become famous when acting in movies.
Everyone thought so, but in the end he went to Hengdian, he was hit and was completely defeated.
There are too many beauties here, and once there are too many things, they are not worth it.
In the words of industry insiders, the most beautiful thing in the entertainment industry is the most lacking in.
The so-called fair skin, beautiful and long legs are everywhere here, and there are groups of people~
So many positions in the crew can be unspoken, let alone directors, even lighting artists, casting directors, associate directors, and even group leaders, have a lot of such resources in their hands.
You can call out a few beautiful ladies when you go out to drink on any phone. They can not only use their own products, but also entertain friends.
To put it bluntly, it’s all the temptations of the world of fame and fortune!
In the world of fame and fortune, everyone pays attention to what they need.
If you give your beauty, I will give you more convenience within my authority.
The goddess that ordinary people look up to is worth so much even if they repay each other here.
Give you a special place, take a little care when you are given away, and put on makeup and look better, that's all.
It feels not worth it, so go.
If you walk forward, someone will fill the gap.
As mentioned earlier, when there are too many things, they are no longer resources, but consumables.
You don’t want to do it, some people are willing to do it.
After discussing the male lead, Dong Jianqiang suddenly said, "Tang Ren doesn't know where to know "Beauty Scheming". Yesterday, Cai Yinong called me and said that Tang Ren wanted to recommend Hu Ge to play the male lead. In addition, they also want to invest and produce it together~"
After saying that, everyone looked at Zhang Chen.
Tang Ren is quite popular now.
The "Sword of Fairy" is popular all over the country. The "New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" filmed last year is also good. It is said that this year's "Young Yang Family Generals" also sells well.
Hao is added~
But Zhang Chen has memories of later generations and knows that Tang Ren has been on the decline.
This company has been doing poorly, but its works are awesome.
Tang Ren is a member of the Shanghai circle, but "The Sword of Immortality" cannot even be on the stars.
Promotions that you don’t understand can’t maintain relationships, no wonder they get worse and worse.
He knew the TV series pattern in later generations:
Tang Ren's drama has the best reputation, but Tang Ren's reputation is poor
Yu Ma's reputation is the worst, but the market is the best
Huanrui has the strongest strength and is estimated to be the boss. Huace has a good distribution, a professional Lei Opera owner, and all the contracted artists are among the above three companies. There is also a Dongyang Noon, who honestly shoots high-quality dramas.
Zhang Chen was about to refuse, but suddenly remembered something.
Hu Ge had a car accident, which seemed to be August this year.
"Hu Ge? He should be filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", right?"
Tong Jianqiang nodded: "Cai Yinong means that their "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is filmed in Hengdian, and our "Beauty Scheming" is also filmed in Hengdian. You can make a mistake~"
"Does Liu Heng have many scenes?" Zhang Chen turned to ask Yu Zheng.
"Although he is the male lead, he is not particularly many. If he is involved in the drama, he can coordinate~"
Since he has traveled through time, Zhang Chen doesn't mind flapping his butterfly wings slightly, doing some good things, and helping his drama sell at a good price.
"Hu Ge can be the male lead, at least it can bring popularity to the drama, just invest... "
I don't have to worry about selling my drama, and I can also get Tang Ren to share the money, and Zhang Chen is not stupid.
In his opinion, Tang Ren's only value is the shooting team, from the assistant director to the lighting, camera, and makeup artist, he has his own understanding of ancient puppets.
The ancient puppet dramas of Huanrui in later generations were able to get started because they dug up Tang Ren's entire production team.
But there is no hurry to do this. Huanrui can dig, but you can dig it yourself~
"What if the two of them are bound together?"
"If you don't agree, then forget it."
Zhang Chen shrugged indifferently, as he was mostly helpful.
He also liked the actor who originally played Liu Heng. If Hu Ge comes, he would feel wronged to play the second male lead Zhou Yafu. If you don't agree, the original team is also good.
After the meeting of "Beauty's Scheming", everyone left. Dong Jianqiang said, "Chen Xi is here, I've been waiting in your office for a long time~"
Zhang Chen nodded and returned to his office.
Chen Xi had already brewed a cup of tea for himself and was having a lot of fun.
When Zhang Chen came in, he immediately said, "Leader, I'm here to report to you~"
"Stop this, tell me, what's the matter?"
"It's really a report on the acquisition of new media copyright~"
"Oh, then say~"
"I have taken down Huayi's new media copyright, and the light is the same, and the new picture is still being discussed. Zhang Weiping dares to speak to me, Lion, I'm going to hang him for two days. Where are you, does Xingchen Entertainment authorize me for free..."
Zhang Chen did not answer her question, but asked, "How many years have you bought the copyright?"
"Some are permanent and full copyright, and some are new media copyrights, 20 years, but it's a bargain~"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"Bare price, can they sell you?"
"Not a penny is sold, others will still broadcast it, how much they sell, can they get some? Do you think they sell it?"
A later news that "400 employees have no intra-volume and 996, and live a 'fairy life'" put LeTV on a hot search and triggered discussions among netizens about "LeTV's survival on the Legend of Zhen Huan".
LeTV can earn more than 10 million yuan a year by relying solely on the copyright authorization of "The Legend of Zhen Huan", which shows how much money the copyright is.
"I did a good job, which ones are permanent and full copyrights?"
"Mainly it is TV series. Currently, there are only "The Sword of Fairy" and "Bright Sword". I also want the full copyright of "Wulin Waizai", it depends on whether you give it to it~"
Chen Xi's thinking is very clear. He will get the permanent and full copyright of popular high-quality dramas, so that even if the TV station wants to replay it in the future, she will need to give her money.
Ordinary dramas are no longer necessary.
Permanent full copyright costs a lot. If you take too much, it may cause an antitrust investigation, just like Tencent Video in later generations.
"You don't take advantage of the boss. The new media copyright of Xingchen Entertainment can be authorized to Jiahe for free for 5 years, and then renegotiated after 5 years..."
Star Entertainment and Dong Jianqiang's shares, Zhang Chen cannot harm others' interests.
He is not bad at all.
However, he really admired Chen Xi's vision. He just told the other party that the country would pay attention to copyright in the future. As for how to obtain copyright, Chen Xi's decision is entirely his own decision.
Chen Xi was completely surprised to think of winning the full copyright of "Sword of Fairy" and "Bright Sword".
"Sword of Fairy" is a drama that has been replayed a lot in later generations. It is a classic old drama with strong vitality. Even in 2021, it can still generate 3 million yuan in copyright sharing revenue per year.
"One more thing, the new Miss Hong Kong selection is about to begin. I think Jiahe should participate~"
"Why?"
"Sign newcomers, I think Jiahe still has too few contracted artists, especially newcomers~"
Zhang Chen shook his head: "Just praise you for being smart, why do you become stupid immediately?
‘Miss Hong Kong’ has now become very unprofessional, where you can’t find any newcomers with potential~”
“Why do you say that? "
"What is Miss Hong Kong? It's a beauty pageant~
Look at what are the Hong Kong Miss choosing now?
Is there a beautiful one?
In the film "Stalking" that Galaxy Image is filming, Xu Zishan is the heroine. She is the champion of Miss Hong Kong, but is she beautiful?
No matter how you look sloppy, just the female stars I have worked with, you can beat her if you can just pull it out~
So the Hong Kong Miss is losing her authority. In the past, those old sex critics were judges, and those who chose beauties, because the old sex critics represent the public aesthetics.
If you like old sex, the public will definitely like it.
Now, the judges are all people with identities, high-end, but they can’t read the selected ones.
In essence, TVB’s “Miss Hong Kong” is the same as Mango TV’s “Super Girl”, both are talent shows, similar to scooping gold from the sand.
But the professional perspectives are different. "Miss Hong Kong" compares her appearance, and "Super Girl" compares her singing skills.
This is professionalism.
But now, the best one selected by Miss Hong Kong has not beaten the Super Girl in appearance, so it’s not a big deal~
And the reason why Miss Hong Kong was popular in the past was because she had the dividends of the times.
At that time, there were only two ways to become famous in Hong Kong, either participating in wireless training classes or participating in Hong Kong Miss.
Even, Miss Hong Kong monetization is faster.
After just a few months of campaigning, an ordinary person can immediately become a person who is well-known to everyone in Hong Kong.
You can cash out immediately after that.
Either join the entertainment industry or marry into a wealthy family~
That's why Miss Hong Kong's campaign is so popular because he is the stepping stone to enter another class.
But now, it's not like that anymore.
Look at those active female stars, Cecilia Cheung, twins, have anything to do with Miss Hong Kong?
If you have to sign, I think it is better to sign a young model.
I am good-looking and have a good figure, and I can act even after training. ”
Chen Xi was silent: "What do you mean? Jiahe quit the sponsorship of "Miss Hong Kong"?"
"It is necessary to sponsor it. It is not wrong to have a good relationship with TVB. The new media copyright of their series can also be obtained. Moreover, having a good relationship with TV stations is also beneficial to the promotion of the movie, but there is no need to promote their newcomers, and it is not popular...
By the way, remember to win "The Legend of Qin". This is also a classic drama, and it is rare. The big production is out of date even if you watch it ten years later."
"By the way, the Academy Awards Organizing Committee will contact me, as if I want to ease my relationship with you..."
Zhang Chen waved his hand directly: "Just ease, they treated me like that last time, they were destined to be unable to ease. Anyway, I said that as long as the project I led, all will not be registered for the Academy Awards. When it is held next time, I will see who is embarrassed..."
Chen Xi laughed out loud: "I also want to see. When the Academy Awards finds that all the top three or five movies in the box office in Hong Kong will not participate in the Academy Awards selection. So will the awards they selected still have credibility?"
Zhang Chen did not want to talk about the Academy Awards more, so he once again reminded: "Hurry up on the copyright, don't be afraid of spending money. Spend when it should be spent. If it is not enough, please ask me for it."
Zhang Chen is very rich now. The online game "Wulin Wai Chuan" they jointly developed with Perfect World is very popular, and it can bring them at least 60 million in circulation every month, and it is still growing.
I knew in my previous life that online games were known as cash cows, but now I finally have an intuitive understanding.
This is just a "Wulin Waizhi". The online game of the same name with "Painted Skin" is about to be launched, which is to cooperate with the promotion of the movie.
