Chapter 295: Blatant Abuse of Power for Personal Gain?
The first director in China with a cumulative box office of more than 5 billion has appeared, and there is also an actor with 5 billion.
That's not a small topic.
What is surprising is that both of them are out of Oriental DreamWorks.
Although this will not make the two of them directly become gods, it will inevitably add an aura to their bodies.
This aura is useful in the entertainment industry.
Of course, the reason why Huang Ye became the first actor with a box office of 5 billion is largely due to Zhang Pu.
Since Zhang Pu's debut, he has made five movies, and Huang Ye has starred in four.
And the other "Parasite", although it was not directed by Zhang Pu, was written by him.
The topic is not small, which naturally has a great effect on the box office of "Looking for the Dragon".
The box office continues to be hot, and soon the New Year's Day holiday will come.
"Huh, I'm no longer in the study to ponder the script, how can I be interested in watching TV?" Xu Jiahui said with some surprise.
"Why didn't you tell me to pick you up when you came back?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Xu Jiahui was very busy during this time, especially at the end of the year, and there were constant commercial performances.
I just went to Nanhu Satellite TV yesterday to participate in their New Year's Eve party.
"You're so busy. Xu Jiahui said, "I'm not so squeamish." What's more, Sister Juan also arranged for someone to pick up the airport. ”
"It's not that I can't find time. Zhang Pu said, "Tonight, the company's "Langya Bang" will be broadcast, I will take the time to take a look." ”
"The TV series starring Deng Kun?" asked Xu Jiahui.
"Hmm!" Zhang Pu nodded and said, "Today's broadcast can be regarded as CCTV's New Year's drama!"
"There are a lot of people looking forward to this TV series. Xu Jiahui nodded and said.
"Langya Bang" is the fourth TV series cooperated by Zhang Pu and Gao Wang, and it is highly anticipated. What's more, this TV series is Deng Kun's first work after he went to Oriental DreamWorks.
Of course, it was not this drama that tempted Deng Kun to sign with Oriental DreamWorks, but Zhang Pu's new film that has not yet started filming.
A big-budget movie, a big-budget TV series.
Oriental DreamWorks is still full of sincerity to Deng Kun.
"Haven't you seen it beforehand?" Xu Jiahui then asked.
"Nope. Zhang Pu shook his head.
He really hadn't watched it beforehand, and if Jiang Xingwen hadn't mentioned it to him yesterday, he wouldn't have known that this TV series was about to start.
CCTV's New Year's drama!
The gimmick is still sufficient.
Of course, the gimmick of this show is already full.
Soon, "Langya Bang" was launched......
"That's good!" Xu Jiahui said.
She doesn't have much interest in this kind of conspiracy costume TV series, but she watches this TV series with relish.
There is even an idea of chasing dramas.
"Hmm!" Zhang Pu nodded.
This drama is really good.
Compared with the original, each has its own merits.
The two directors of the original version may be photographers, and the TV series is full of picture sense, and many shots can be used as mobile phone screensavers or computer desktops.
This TV series is clearly inferior to the original in this regard.
But in other respects, it is superior.
You have to judge whether you win or lose, if you compare the high and the low...... Then it can only be seen by the benevolent.
This TV series is definitely of high quality.
The next day, in addition to the box office recovery on New Year's Day of "Looking for the Dragon", there were also a lot of topics about "Langya Bang".
From those topics, it is not difficult to see that this drama has a tendency to become popular.
Or that this drama has become popular.
Deng Kun signed a contract with Oriental DreamWorks for more than half a year, and there was no movement, only occasionally appearing on some variety shows.
Popularity is not increasing, but decreasing.
Some of his fans are already complaining.
However, as soon as "Langya Bang" came out, his complaining fans instantly shut up.
Deng Kun's lost popularity came back in an instant.
And everyone can see that with the popularity of "Langya Bang", Deng Kun's popularity will gradually increase.
Perhaps, with this drama, Deng Kun can become a popular first-line star.
"Do you think it's necessary for our company to poach two more TV drama directors?"
Xu Jiadong said.
Zhang Pu didn't answer, but looked at Jiang Xingwen.
Why does Xu Jiadong have such an idea?
It's nothing more than a taste of sweetness.
"Langya Bang" has just started broadcasting, and the second round of broadcast rights has been sold at a high price, and the price of other copyrights will not be too low.
This TV series may not make as much money as the Oriental DreamWorks movie, but the risk is even less!
What's more, this is just a comparison with the movie of Oriental DreamWorks. Compared with the profits of movies invested and produced by other film and television companies, the profits of Oriental DreamWorks TV series are undoubtedly much larger.
With low risks and high profits, Xu Jiadong naturally wants to expand the scale.
"Stabilize it!" Jiang Xingwen shook his head and said, "Before, Oriental DreamWorks sold too much, and now it still needs time to digest." If it is blindly expanded, if that link collapses, maybe the whole company will not say that there is an avalanche, and there will definitely be a lot of turmoil. ”
The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and the road should be walked step by step.
Oriental DreamWorks has passed the stage of rapid expansion, but has entered the stage of slowly digesting and absorbing and stabilizing itself.
"Forget it!" Xu Jiadong said, "That's what I said." ”
Relatively speaking, Xu Jiadong knows more about company management than Zhang Pu.
If it continues to expand at such a rapid pace, the foundation will inevitably be unstable.
"What about Gao Wang?" Zhang Pu suddenly asked, "Why didn't this guy wait to ask me for a script this time?"
Before, Gao Wang was every time the drama was broadcast, and even before it started, he couldn't wait to prepare for the next drama.
This time, he didn't come to the door, which made Zhang Pu a little surprised.
"The screenwriting department came up with a script and he seemed interested. Jiang Xingwen said.
"Oh?" Zhang Pu said, "I'm a little interested in what you say." What kind of drama?"
"It seems to be a story about the underworld heroes in the Republic of China. Jiang Xingwen said.
Zhang Pu nodded.
This kind of TV series is still very popular.
Oriental DreamWorks can't count on him to provide the script alone.
Gao Wang's choice, Zhang Pu still agrees.
Actually, he didn't know that this was Jiang Xingwen's suggestion.
Gao Wang apparently realized something, too.
has been filming Zhang Pu's script, which may not be a good thing for Gao Wang.
Even if Zhang Pu is just a screenwriter, he overwhelms Gao Wang, a director, every time.
Gao Wang is an ambitious director, and he naturally doesn't want to be in the shadow of Zhang Pu, the screenwriter, all the time.
He needs a TV series that has nothing to do with Zhang Pu to prove himself.
Without Zhang Pu, he hopes to be able to make a good drama.
"Oh, yes. Jiang Xingwen seemed to think of something, and then said, "The Condor Heroes has a TV station that has already offered a high price, whether to sell it, or wait." ”
"It's only been a few days since that drama was completed, right?" Zhang Pu said with some surprise.
Only then did they offer a high price, how confident is this in this TV series!
"The ratings of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" are so explosive, as a sequel to this drama, it is still starring Tang Rui and Ye Han. What's more, the script is still in your hands, as long as it is not filmed as garbage, then the ratings will not be bad. Xu Jiadong pouted and said, "Su Yuan's reputation in the TV circle is still extremely good, may the TV series he directed be bad?"
Zhang Pu was speechless when he saw Xu Jiadong's face of contempt.
Looking at his appearance, he almost didn't say directly: I Xu Jiadong understands everything, but you are making a fuss!
"Let's be steady! Only when there is competition can we maximize our interests. Zhang Pu said.
Someone bought it, and Zhang Pu was not surprised. He was surprised that the other party offered a high price.
can call it a "high price" in Jiang Xingwen's mouth, and it will not be lower than the price of the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Jiang Xingwen and the two nodded, obviously agreeing with this approach.
In fact, Jiang Xingwen said so casually.
The TV station that wanted to buy the first round of broadcast rights of "The Condor Heroes" at a high price in advance has been rejected by Jiang Xingwen.
The TV series "The Condor Heroes" is not worried about selling.
"Some of the company's plans for next year still need to be discussed with you. Jiang Xingwen then said.
This is the reason why I am looking for Zhang Pu and the others today.
Zhang Pu and the two nodded.
said that it was a discussion, Zhang Pu and Xu Jiadong were more of an audience.
The company's plan, the two of them didn't bother much at all.
Of course, the necessary knowledge is indispensable.
Next year, there will be a lot of projects in Oriental DreamWorks.
"The Wandering Earth", which started filming after the Chinese New Year, followed by Zhang Pu's "Storm and Cloud Dominates the World" and Jiang Yun's "Truman's World" started filming one after another.
Of course, before that, the company's focus was on "Thai Embarrassment" released during the Spring Festival.
In addition, "Looking for the Dragon" has been released abroad one after another, and it also requires some energy from the company.
However, even if this film is not painted during the Spring Festival, it is estimated that there are only a handful of films that can be scheduled, and now the company is basically waiting for box office dividends.
Chen Huatao and others did not run for propaganda anymore.
After the release of "Thai Embarrassment", Lin Mu will definitely start filming a new film.
As for which one to shoot, he seems to be still struggling.
And that's just for the movies.
Oriental DreamWorks focuses on movies, but it also involves TV series and variety shows.
And next year, the investment in variety shows will be much greater than that of TV dramas.
There are two new variety shows to be recorded, as well as the third season of "The Voice", the second season of "Where Are You Going, Dad", the second season of "Chinese Poetry Conference", and the third season of "I Am a Singer".
The two new variety shows are undoubtedly the top priority of Oriental DreamWorks.
This is especially true of "Run, Brother".
Whether the company's contracted artists can accumulate enough popularity in a short period of time depends on this show!
"Why does "Longing for Life" have to be delayed until March next year?" asked Xu Jiadong with some doubts.
This program has actually been negotiated a long time ago, even before the "Chinese Poetry Conference".
"The peach blossoms are blooming in March!" Zhang Pu said with a smile, "My hometown was the most beautiful at that time!"
This show is delayed until March next year, just to wait for the peach blossoms in your hometown?
Xu Jiadong was a little speechless, but he didn't know what to say.
Zhang Pu: Is this a blatant abuse of power for personal gain?
It doesn't seem to count!
Of course, do you say that Zhang Pu has selfish intentions in it?
There must be.
You can choose to record when the peach blossoms are blooming, which is indeed advantageous for the show.
What's more, even if Zhang Pu uses his power for personal gain?
