Chapter 303 Going North and Going South
The result of Fang Yihua’s communication with Michelle made her stunned.
What Michelle means is that if you ask me to switch files, you also have to pay me liquidated damages. It’s not worth it and it’s unnecessary.
If you want to ask me to film a movie, I can do it!
Anyone who wants to hire me to film a movie can just talk to my agent directly.
As long as the price, script and schedule are right, the company won't stop it.
Of course, if it is you, Miss Fang, I will interview you personally.
Only then did Fang Yihua realize that Baiyang Agency was actually being serious.
Michelle Xue explained: "ATV is ATV, Yang Ji is Yang Ji, and ATV is Yang Ji's customer. If TVB is willing, it can also become Yang Ji's customer. Yang Ji is a dream come true."< br>
Mi Xue actually launched a series of sales promotions for Fang Yihua, which caught Fang Yihua off guard.
However, Fang Yihua couldn't swallow this breath. She felt that it was too shameful to hire someone from Baiyang Agency, so she finally let Zhuang Jing become the heroine.
The gimmick of letting Zhou Runfa and Chen Yulian compete in the ring failed because Zhou Runfa refused.
Zhou Runfa is a man. He doesn’t want to use his ex-girlfriend to stir up conversation. He would lose face if he loses and it would be boring if he wins.
In the end, TVB postponed the broadcast of "Su Qier" and launched "The Prodigal Son" adapted from a Japanese comic to cope with "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
"The Prodigal Son" was originally the TV series that made Huang Rihua famous and Liang Caowei's rise to prominence.
However, in this time and space, ATV's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was so powerful that it was suppressed to the point where there was no splash at all.
......
Although Fang Yihua regards Yang Ye as his enemy, Yang Ye actually does not regard Wireless as an opponent.
In the field of TV dramas, Yang Ye is eyeing the entire Asian market.
His biggest rivals are Japan’s top five broadcasters, and Wireless is nothing.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Japanese cinema declined to its lowest point.
As a result, Japanese dramas rose rapidly and became popular throughout Asia in the 1980s and 1990s.
That was the period when Japan's economy was at its strongest, and it was also a period when Japanese pop culture swept across Asia.
Next step, Yang Ye will collect all those classic Japanese dramas.
Yang Ye has a trump card in his hand, and that is Liming.
If Lai Ming is allowed to act in an idol drama, Kimura Takuya and Sorimachi Takashi will only stand aside.
Some people say that Li Ming’s acting skills are not good. What kind of acting skills are needed to act in an idol drama? Just be handsome.
But before that, we must first capture the Southeast Asian market and stabilize the basic market.
The copyright of Jin Yong's ancient dragon in Yang Ye's hands is an artifact to conquer Southeast Asia.
……
In the garden, Yang Ye was seriously teaching his two sons to practice martial arts.
"Horse stance, arms straight!"
"Well, Tudou's performance is good, I will reward you with chicken legs later."
"Ritian, you are too I'm so embarrassed, I was actually outclassed by my younger brother."
Yang Ritian was so ashamed that he quickly straightened his hanging arm.
Zhao Yazhi shouted: "We have been practicing for half an hour. Let the children take a rest and eat."
Yang Ye looked at his watch and said: "There is still one minute left!"
< br>"Okay, let's call it a day!"
Yang Ye picked up the two little guys one by one, took them into the bathroom, and said, "Wash yourself, and come out to eat after you're clean."
Zhao Yazhi followed behind and complained: "Can you please stop calling Hao Zai Ri Tian Tian? It sounds so ugly."
"Um, I just called it casually, please pay attention next time."
While the family was eating, Yang Ye said: "In a blink of an eye, the two children are now three years old, and they should officially enter kindergarten this semester. You guys. Do you want to prepare for a comeback? "
Xu Feng said: "I have already told Sister Meng that when Tudou goes to school, I will go to the company to work with her."
Yang Ye was very happy, but Xu Feng was still. Enterprising.
He said; "Now we have two film companies, Bai Yang and Jade Bird. Bai Yang is based in Hong Kong, and Jade Bird mainly cooperates with the mainland. Sister Meng really can't take care of it by herself.
Sister Meng has a good reputation in the mainland, and she is mainly communicating with the mainland now. However, she is old and is not suitable for traveling to the mainland all year round. It is better to stay in Hong Kong.
A Feng, I want to take over the affairs of Jade Bird Company after you become familiar with the business in the Mainland. What do you think? "
Xu Feng wanted to help her husband's career take off and said, "I understand. "
Yang Ye said to Zhao Yazhi again: "Where are you, Azhi? "
Zhao Yazhi has no interest in managing the company. She said: "I'd better come back to filming! ”
Yang Ye nodded.
Zhao Yazhi said again: "But there are many new people in the company now, and I don't know if the audience will still buy my account."
Yang Ye smiled and said: "You have a natural affinity. , the audience will not forget you. This time you come back, I will personally create a TV series for you to ensure that you become popular in Southeast Asia.” Gradually she took it off, and now she has the smell of a good wife and loving mother. Her appearance has reached its peak, and she is more approachable than before. Now is the time to make a comeback.
……
Baiyang Group's high-level meeting.
The first thing at the meeting was to discuss the matter of the crew of "The Love of the Earth" going to Beijing to film the third part of "Thunder in the Ancient Capital".
This drama brings together three ace stars Pan Zhiwen, Michelle, and Liu Songren, as well as Bao Qijing to join the cast. The lineup is very strong.
Going to the capital for filming was something Yuan Shikong wanted to do but failed to do.
Yang Ye is a very stubborn guy. He ignores Taiwan’s ban on him and insists on sending the crew to the capital. The reason is very simple. "Thunder in the Ancient Capital" is a TV series based on the May 4th Movement. It has the family, country and world in mind. If you don't go to the capital to shoot, it won't have that flavor.
This is also the reason why the reputation of "Thunder in the Ancient Capital" of the original time and space is not as good as that of "Home in the Pearl River".
"Love from the Earth" is the greatest Hong Kong drama. Anyone who has watched it will know that its artistic value and practical significance are not comparable to those of "Shanghai Beach".
It uses a line drawing technique to show the history of blood and tears in modern China. It is both compassionate and kind. It has the legacy of Lu Xun and is of far-reaching significance.
Unfortunately, this TV series was not introduced to the mainland, so its influence is limited to the Pearl River Delta area.
However, in the 1980s, there was a kind of short story about TV screen captures, and "The Love of the Earth" spread throughout the country through this kind of short story.
Many Chinese people as far away as the Northwest moved to tears just by reading these little novels, which shows how powerful this play is.
But its flaw is that it is a Hong Kong drama.
The subject matter involved in "The Love of the Earth" is really too big. To tell the fate of the Chinese people and the relationship between the Chinese people and the land in a TV series, the little Lishi simply cannot handle it.
After the first film "Home in the Pearl River" reached its peak, the next two films "Thunder in the Ancient Capital" and "Jinshan Dream" slowly faded away, and the last two films about Shanghai and Hong Kong were not filmed at all. What a pity!
Yang Ye hopes to fully present all the five films planned in advance. This is not even a matter of money. Even if he loses money, it is still worth doing.
So he strongly supports shooting in Beijing and does not take Taiwan's ban on it to heart.
As far as Yang Ye is concerned, he hates blocking things, whether it is the Mainland, Taiwan, or anywhere in the world.
Those who are riding horses are in the literary prison, and they block others at every turn. They all have sons without buttholes.
Yang Ye and Xia Meng both had some connections in the capital. They explained some matters about going to the capital, who to go to if there was any trouble, and so on. The matter was settled.
Yang Ye finally said: ""Love from the Earth" has been broadcast in 25 countries and regions around the world. It has a good reputation and has also won an Emmy Award.
Chinese compatriots all over the world have watched this drama. Tears filled my eyes, and I even thought about finding my roots. Because of its great influence, it was even banned in Thailand.
Everyone here should be proud of being able to produce such a TV series.
In the next part of "Thunder in the Ancient Capital", I hope everyone can devote their efforts to make this drama a good one and not let down the Chinese compatriots around the world."
...
After talking about going north, Yang Ye mentioned another thing about going south.
Yang Yip said: "Now, the situation in Nanyang has undergone some changes. On the one hand, Malaysia has begun to promote 'Malayization' and established the National Film Development Authority, referred to as FINAS.
FINAS regulations A film must have more than 70% of the dialogue in Malay to be called a Malaysian film. Films with Chinese dialogue as the main dialogue are all regarded as foreign films.
If nothing else, the film is king in Malaysia. Shaw Brothers will soon withdraw. Without the Malay market, Hong Kong will not be able to compete with us. I speculate that Shaw Brothers will be finished within a long time! The local film industry in Malaysia is almost entirely controlled by two Chinese capitals, Shaw Brothers and Cathay Pacific.
From the 1930s to the 1970s, these two companies produced nearly 300 Malay-language films and imported nearly a thousand Hong Kong films to Malaysia, which was a huge scale.
The Malays cannot defeat the Chinese with capital, so they have begun to use political weapons.
The senior executives here usually pay attention to their own affairs, and they were very surprised when they heard these words.
Yang Ye has been paying attention to the affairs in Nanyang and asserted that Shaw Brothers will be finished. This is a bit far-sighted.
However, Yang Ye's speculation is very credible. The situation in Malaysia has changed so much that Shaw Brothers can't stop thinking about it.
Yang Ye continued: "Malays can make crappy movies. Once Shaw Brothers withdraws, there will be a huge vacuum in the Malay market.
Now, Hollywood is promoting the construction of multiplex theaters around the world. They will not let go of this piece of fat in Malaysia.
My strategy is, if they build it, we will build it too. Manager Jiang, next month you and I will go to Nanyang to cooperate with local Chinese businessmen. Our theater chain is advancing to Nanyang.”
Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, feeling a little excited that he was finally leaving Hong Kong to expand overseas.
However, he asked: "Mr. Yang, since you think Shaw Brothers will withdraw, why not take the opportunity to acquire Shaw Brothers' properties in Malay?"
Yang Ye shook his head and said: "Shaw Brothers' studio in Malay will definitely be annexed by the Malays. Let alone if we can't get it, it will be useless if we get it. Otherwise, why would Shaw Brothers withdraw?
As for Shaw Brothers' theaters in Malay, they are all backward single-room theaters, and I don't like them either.
The Malays are a bunch of poor people, and the rich ones are Chinese. We want to be local. It is building a high-end theater chain, mainly for Chinese business, and directly excludes those poor people."
Everyone's expressions were half-smiling. It seems that Yang Ye hates those Malays very much.
But having said that, who doesn’t hate those Malay monkeys who play bad tricks when they can’t win in business?
...
After talking about Malaysia, Yang Ye added: "At the same time, Singapore next door to Malaysia is vigorously promoting the Chinese language movement, and they have also established the Singapore Broadcasting Authority and poached people from Hong Kong Many TV talents.
You also know this. For example, our ace screenwriter Liang Liren was poached by SMG and is going to serve as the director of the drama department in Singapore. ”
Everyone. They all nodded. SMG has been making a lot of moves in Hong Kong recently. Some people from ATV and TVB have left their jobs to go gold hunting in Singapore.
Yang Yip said: "Since Singapore wants to learn from our advanced technology in Hong Kong, then we might as well cooperate with them."
Yang Ye said, took out a script outline of the TV series and distributed it to everyone.
Yang Ye said: "Hong Kong is too small, and our vision cannot be limited to a small city. In the past two years, our strategy of going global has made some progress.
In addition to " "The Love of the Earth" was not long ago broadcast in Southeast Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries. It was also warmly welcomed and the ratings were very high.
In order to consolidate the Nanyang market, I am planning to go to Singapore in person and directly. Cooperate with SMG to film a TV series that showcases Nanyang culture to bring the two closer together."
Yang Ye said: "The drama I planned is called "Little Nyonya" in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. People of Chinese descent in this area are called bābā for men and Nyonya for women.
They have a unique culture that is in the same vein as us Chinese, but also unique. ”
The TV series "Little Nyonya" not only contains the history of the indomitable struggle of kind-hearted women, but also the drama of women fighting for favor in large families.
You can hear different names for the clan members, The complicated ethnic rules, beautiful Nyonya costumes, embroidery, and unique Nyonya dishes, songs and dances
Just like "Dae Jang Geum" showcases Korean ancient culture, "Little Nyonya" showcases Singapore.
Once launched in the original time and space, it immediately became popular throughout Southeast Asia and the Chinese world, and was also introduced to Japan and South Korea, and its influence was huge.
Yang Ye asked Zhao Yazhi to be the protagonist and launch this "Little Nyonya". Once it succeeds, Zhao Yazhi will become the well-deserved number one red star in Nanyang.
……
Wish you all a Happy New Year, good luck and fortune!
