Perfect Life

On January 18, 2oo2, the National Film and TV Drama Great Wall Awards ceremony was held. Li Qian led the crew members of the two dramas "My Sassy Girl" and "Princess Huanzhu" to attend together in costumes. ww『w』2

And the result, everyone is happy.

The popularity of Li Qian, the two dramas of Minghu Culture and the popularity of these actors can help the Great Wall Award attract a lot of extra attention, and the Great Wall Award has once again faithfully fulfilled its position of "never biased towards pure literary films" , so in the end, the harvest of the two plays is quite satisfactory.

Especially "Hanzhu Princess".

Similar to the "Legend of the New White Snake" that year, this drama is so popular that it seems that if you don't give it an award, your credibility for this award is not enough!

Therefore, the best drama series Li Qian, the best screenwriter Li Qian, the best theme song Gerileng, the best actress Liu Yan, the best supporting actress Zhao Mingqi, and the best TV drama newcomer Liu Yan all won!

Of course, even so, the suspicion of dividing the cake is still a bit heavy. For example, the best TV series and the best screenwriter were both given to Li Qian and "Princess Huanzhu", but the best director was actually given to "The Age of Youth". Lu Ruoying——If you say that there is nothing tricky here, I am afraid no one will believe it!

Then, the film record of "My Sassy Girl" is a little pitiful.

Because this year after "My Sassy Girlfriend", those several exceptionally prominent domestic blockbusters are really competitive enough in terms of box office, influence, and topicality.

And the key is...the qualifications are enough!

Therefore, Du Weiyun's "Assassination Qin" won the best director and the best editing, and the "Sword Immortal" crew led by Hu Fei won the best cinematography, which is known as the biggest surprise of this year's domestic movies "Across the Four Seas", as Wu Han's rising work, surprisingly won the best movie crown!

Not to mention "My Sassy Girl", which is purely accompanying, "Assassination Qin" was very popular before, and "Reunion" also has quite a few supporters, haven't they all failed?

Not to mention, um, from the crew of "Let's Talk About a Big Business" released in January last year, Zhao Meicheng is probably even more disappointed.

However, he is slightly better than Li Qian, at least they also won a best screenwriter.

On the "My Sassy Girlfriend" side, Li Qian had previously won three nominations for best film, best director and best screenwriter, but all of them failed.

In the end, the only gain for the entire crew was that He Yingyu won the best newcomer.

Really a little disillusioned.

Fortunately, Li Qian has never valued these so-called awards.

Not to mention these domestic awards, in fact, he does not value foreign ones. Unless he feels that he needs an award to pave the way for a certain work or a plan of his own at some special moment and under a special background, it doesn't matter whether he wins or not.

Of course, it may also be because Li Qian feels that he has only just started, so he doesn't pay much attention to awards. Like Zhao Meicheng, who has been in the film industry for more than ten years, he has always been very successful in business, but he has always been They have never been recognized by any decent awards. Similarly, Zheng Yuan and Guo Yulong are top superstars, and they have never received any awards, so they will value these more.

But winning or not winning really doesn't affect people continuing to make big money!

"My Name is Auspicious" is another typical market comedy, Zhao Meicheng is really good at this, and this market, Zhao's comedy plus Spring Festival stalls, has been completely developed by him, so as long as the standard It's really a rhythm of making money properly - this time the investment is not small, it is said to be 50 million, and it is said that the real amount will be about 35 million, but it broke 100 million in the first week of release, and although the second week The attendance rate of movie theaters across the country is falling, but movie ticket prices have gone up after all. The impact on the box office is that compared with the same period last year, it did not go up, but it did not go down. Therefore, after the first week, there was a sharp increase in the fixed moviegoing crowd. After the consumption, "My Name is Auspicious" still received a high box office of 58.36 million in the second week, and continued to lead the weekly box office rankings as in previous years!

It is designated to earn over 100 million at the box office. It has only been two weeks, and it has already exceeded 160 million. What else do you want?

To say that the most profitable person among domestic film directors, there is no one other than him!

In contrast, Yuan Dacheng's "Scars" is a bit miserable - in fact, Li Qian is quite incomprehensible. How could such a story and such a name be so brainless that he chose to set the file for the Spring Festival?

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there will be bonuses at the end of the year. Who is not happy? At this time, how many people would have the heart to watch a movie called "Scar"?

Just like Zhao Meicheng, how accurate it is to touch the minds of the Chinese people! I just shoot market comedies, I just tell an ordinary story, with a fixed team and a fixed routine, I will make you laugh, and I will release it in time for the New Year’s Eve, and I will make you laugh every year before the New Year’s Day, By the way, I will get you a few popular golden sentences to pretend to be a coercion at home, and chat with relatives and friends over New Year's dinner and drinking, and you can also promote and spread word of mouth for me!

Then, everyone likes it, the reputation is good, and the money is made a lot, and the job is done!

Like this year, the name of the movie is called "My Name is Jixiang", listen, it's auspicious! How flattering!

Therefore, "My Name is Auspicious" broke 100 million in a week, and continued to lead the box office list the next week. As for "Scar", although after watching it, Li Qian felt that the quality level was quite good, and the director also patiently talked about a period of exhaustion in life. A good story with a touch of warmth, Bai Yujing's partner Cheng Yifan's performances are also above the standard.

However, it just doesn't sell well!

It was released on Monday, January 4th, and Minghu Culture dispatched a large number of stars to support Bai Yujing for its screening for free, but its weekly screening only received a box office of 7.28 million!

Although the total investment of this film is only 8 million, a large part of it is spent on the remuneration of the male and female protagonists. It is said that in the current domestic film circle, the investment is really not high, but can it be paid back?

Hard to say!

Of course, no matter whether the final movie can make a return, this big screen show after Lao Bai's comeback is at least quite a success!

…………

January 2o, 2oo2, night.

In a high-end private restaurant in Shuntian Prefecture, there are thirteen people and a table of wine and food.

For the third time, Li Qian met Yuan Ke, one of the three big men in the domestic film industry.

Unfortunately, not very happy, but a little sad.

The person sitting on the top seat at the wine party is the absolute Taishan Beidou-level boss in the domestic TV drama circle, and also Li Qian's year-end friend over the years, Feng Yumin.

The person who treated the guests was the boss of Jinghua Film Company, that is, Zhao Meicheng's boss, Yuan Ke.

Feng Yumin came and took the seat, Li Qian also received the invitation and brought Bai Yujing over, and even Yu Bojun, who was currently staring at the late stage of the album, also came, and Zhang Lei, a famous domestic powerful actor, was also invited to come. Li Linlin, who was praised by the domestic media and movie fans as having a "closed moon and shameful flower"-level beauty and won the Great Wall Award for her film "Yang Yuhuan" in 1999, as Yuan Ke's concubine, even came out to entertain guests in person.

Then, um, what is scary is that Du Yihua, the CEO of Star Language Media, actually came!

In Li Qian's heart, she was originally a goddess, but now she has been promoted to "immortal" in a straight line - at the same time, it seems that it is nothing to deal with Zhou Yanghua and Hu Fei, and she can still be sisters to Li Linlin!

What the hell!

At the same time, as a guest of the three mountains in the domestic film industry, he can talk and laugh about business and promote actors wherever he goes. This skill and ability is really amazing!

Moreover, at such a high-end banquet, she actually brought three young actors, one man, two women, and she looked more imposing than Yuan Ke, who was the host!

On Yuan Ke's side, because "My Name is Lucky" is being promoted nationwide by Zhao Meicheng, most of the generals in the family are not at home, and only brought a girl who is estimated to be ready to support the scene.

Of course, Li Qian didn't know him.

On the side of Xingyu Media, although the two girls Li Qian brought by Du Yihua are not impressed, but the male Li Qian is known. He is a popular young student that Xingyu Media has been promoting in the past two years. Cheng Suping's partner starred in "Full House Romance" produced by Minghu Culture and directed by Jin Han, which has not yet been broadcast.

Well, according to what Cheng Suping said quietly during the meal, this young man is very sensible and very honest when filming. The director and the heroine didn't say anything, so he himself offered to shoot in a different position in advance.

Therefore, Li Qian was quite fond of him.

Of course, that's my own senior sister!

Then, um, the purpose of this small banquet is very clear, Yuan Ke is about to go into the water.

There are three big mountains in domestic film companies, each with a great big-name director. Zhou Yanghua's Oriental Media has always relied on Du Weiyun to support its brand, Hu Fei's Huafei Film and Television has a close friendship with Qin Wei, and Yuan Ke has been walking in the rivers and lakes for so many years. The top card in his hand, of course, is Zhao Meicheng.

However, the paths of the three companies are not the same.

Zhou Yanghua's Oriental Media has the largest scale and the strongest strength. He is even the only one of the three companies that has its own theater chain. Over the years, Du Weiyun has been the art director and concurrent director of Oriental Media, and has been responsible for branding and impacting awards. The one with word-of-mouth, of course, the master, not only has good word-of-mouth, but also always makes money when the movie comes out, but the little he earns is not a big deal for Oriental Media.

In addition to Du Weiyun, Zhou Yanghua also has several well-established directors. For example, Wu Han, who suddenly exploded in the summer of o1, has been filming various commercial films for him in silence, and is responsible for making money.

Hu Fei's Huafei Film and Television, in terms of scale and influence, was originally on par with Yuan Ke's Jinghua Film, but since Liu Chengzhang and other great people have been hung in addition to Qin Wei, this momentum has suddenly risen, and don't look at it. The box office of "Sword Immortal" seems to be unsatisfactory. Everyone agrees that this time Hu Fei will have to pay a little bit, but that is only for short-term benefits. Just watching this drama can't help but be short-sighted.

In fact, the words Hu Fei said in the interview are the unanimous approval of the real powerful bosses in this circle: Although "Sword Immortal" is a little big and a little off the line, but Liu Chengzhang is abandoned, Who can guarantee that they can play to that level?

Moreover, it's just a small loss for a movie, but it has accumulated a lot of experience in the production of commercial special effects blockbusters that are more important than money in the current domestic film circle! Just based on Liu Chengzhang's level, "The Swordsman and the Monk" and "Sword Immortal" plus more than 500 million box office endorsements for him, and the experience that this time was not very successful, who dares to say that Liu Chengzhang's next movie will not be? Will it be a big hit?

Therefore, Hu Fei thought very clearly in his heart.

With such a large investment in "Sword Immortal", it did not have the box office explosion as expected, but he never made a single accusation against Liu Chengzhang from the beginning to the end. Stand in a trench and help him slander and fight against the heroes!

To put it bluntly, the future Liu Chengzhang is still a big gold mine!

In contrast, Zhao Meicheng, although he produces a film a year, is still a big seller every year. He is the king of the New Year's Eve, and of course it is not a problem to be the top card of Jinghua Films, but compared with the other two exhibitions, Yuan Ke probably felt the need to expand beyond Zhao Meicheng.

And his thinking is almost exactly the same as Zhou Yanghua's Oriental Media a few years ago!

That is to go down from the film production and start to get involved in the production of TV dramas that have become more and more popular in China in recent years!

However, in Li Qian's opinion, compared with Zhou Yanghua's attempt to acquire Jiang Meicheng's Meicheng Film and Television and Xu Wenhua and Lv Huanzhang's Huazhang Film and Television, and failed to enter the TV drama production industry, they rushed the ducks to the shelves and let Du Weiyun be in charge of supervising the TV series, and they failed miserably in the end. Up, Yuan Ke's thinking should be relatively more reliable!

Because, he should have caught up with a good time, and... also found the right person.

Since 1997 and 1998, there has been a discussion within Huaxia TV about the independence of the TV drama production center and the establishment of an independent legal person company to be responsible for the production of film and television dramas. When he was squeezed and suppressed by Zhao Bingyuan, even though Li Qian invited him in every possible way, he was always thinking about the possibility of going out independently in the future, and he never agreed.

But just in the past month, very suddenly, there was an internal meeting of Huaxia TV, Feng Yumin was forced to semi-retire, and from January, he no longer served as the director of the TV drama production center, but instead served as the art director. Lu Ruoying, who lost miserably in this year's TV drama ratings, will officially take over the position. When she is less than 50 years old, she will officially start to lead the domestic TV drama industry!

Therefore, at the award ceremony of the Great Wall Awards, when Lu Ruoying took the stage to receive the best director in the TV drama category, Bai Yujing smiled and comforted Li Qian, saying, "Don't be sad, this award is given to her to flatter her! "

Then, it is conceivable that what Feng Yumin had been waiting for for several years was so suddenly kicked away when he was about to get it. How disappointed he must be?

However, when Li Qian accompanies him to drink and win over again, he speaks clearly.

Two layers of meaning.

Level 1: No way!

The internal executives of Huaxia TV all know that the current director will most likely retire next year, and the competition for the next director has gradually intensified. And Zhao Bingyuan is a very competitive power faction!

Feng Yumin was not a direct descendant of the old station master. He was banned by Zhao Bingyuan before. Feng Yumin believed in his seniority and authority, and did not seek refuge in a new hill in time. At this time, he was kicked away, and almost no one spoke for him.

And Lu Ruoying's coming to power is the retreat that Zhao Bingyuan left for himself.

If the competition for the director is successful, it is imperative that the TV drama production center go out independently. No matter how powerful Lu Ruoying is, after all, in front of Zhao Bingyuan, who personally promoted her, it is difficult to have enough strength to let her go out to serve as the head of a new film and television company. Boss, Zhao Bingyuan will be very relieved.

If the competition for the director fails, Zhao Bingyuan is obviously unwilling to continue to be subservient for many years. At that time, he is expected to voluntarily withdraw from Huaxia TV, and in exchange, it happens that the TV production center will go out independently~www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Become an independent legal entity, with him as general manager!

Look, it's called playing politics!

So after seeing Zhao Bingyuan's move, Feng Yumin only sighed, feeling that he lost without complaining! Even if you continue to play, you will only be killed by others!

So, he decided to leave! Leave Huaxia TV!

Of course, Li Qian continued to work hard to win over!

After all, he is the Taishan Beidou of the domestic TV drama industry. If he is pulled over, even if he is just a producer and helps Li Qian to keep an eye on him, he is already worthy of a high salary and a high position.

But at that time, his second meaning came out——

As for Feng Bicheng, you should bring him more. He still has abilities and talents, but he just needs to sharpen his temper. When he is finished, he can produce good things.

As for me, forget it.

very firm.

I don't know if it's because he doesn't want to do things under Li Qian, a young man, or he doesn't want to stay in the same company with his son. Anyway, it's just like this: let's continue to be friends!

Then, Yuan Ke did just that!

Li Qian even guessed that Yuan Ke should have started to take action very early, but it was only recently that things finally came to an end.

So, a few days after drinking with Li Qian, Feng Yumin called again and told him bluntly: I'm going with Yuan Ke!

Then, there is today's small banquet.

Yuan Ke's Jinghua Film and Television contributed the money, Feng Yumin contributed the people, and the June 4th took the shares. A Feng Yumin studio was registered and established under Jinghua Film and Television. Five years, three plays, and a total investment of 100 million yuan!

Feng Yumin has full control. Except for the financial management of the company, Yuan Ke is not allowed to intervene in any specific affairs!

Just like that, Feng Yumin was about to quit.
