The joining of Universal Pictures is a matter of course.
After all, in addition to shooting, distribution of a movie is also very important. Blizzard is a company, not a film distribution company, they have no distribution channels, let alone any distribution experience, so they have to find a suitable distribution company to distribute on their behalf.
Universal Pictures is one of the world's largest producers of film and television studios, and it is also one of Hollywood's oldest companies, and became the most powerful film company in Hollywood during the company's inception. So relying on it for movie distribution is a good choice. This company was founded on June 8, 1912, as one of Comcast's subsidiaries. At that time, Laimer, the owner of the American independent film company, merged his company with six or seven small film companies, including N Powers, to form Universal Pictures, which became one of the 8 large companies that monopolized the production and distribution of American films in the 3040s.
In 1914, Laimmer built a soundstage and location for filming on the north side of Hollywood, which he named Universal City. In March 1915, Universal City was officially opened, and 250 films were produced that year.
The company produced a large number of low-budget films in the 3040s, mostly Westerns, musicals, horror, and burlesque. For example, the horror film starring B Karloff, the musical film starring Dou Ping, and the funny film starring B Arbo and Castelo all have high box office value and are very profitable. Among its offerings, there are very few serious works as those of All Quiet on the Western Front.
But because the founder, Carl Lemmer, ran the company only with his own funds and did not have a strong chain of cinemas, the company began to decline in the 20s.
But fortunately, since the 70s, Universal has once again returned to the ranks of Hollywood's top companies, working with famous directors such as Spielberg and Lucas, releasing films such as Jaws, Aliens, and later Jurassic Park, and other directors who often work with Universal include Robert Zemeckis and Ron Howard Apollo 13. 、
In the 21st century, Universal has become Hollywood's best at developing sequel movies and comedies. With the popularity of the spy series Fast and Furious, Universal Pictures has steadily risen in status. In 2010, with the bankruptcy of MGM, Universal Pictures returned to the top spot in Hollywood.
But at this time, MGM is still the real big brother, but Universal is actually not bad, let's not talk about it if it's too far, let's just say that in the year of entering the 21st century, there are many movies released by Universal, Jurassic Park 3, Enchanted, Fast and Furious, Blur Induction, American Pie 2, Demon Rat Robbery, Hannibal, Gladiator, Kidnapping Plan, American Psycho, Hunting, Escape from Prison Three Kings, Skull Club, Hot Dance Sausha, Stone Paradise 2: Long Live Las Vegas, A Woman and Four Men, The Watchmen of Justice and so on, among which Fast and Furious, Hannibal, Gladiator, American Pie, etc., can be regarded as boutiques.
In particular, Fast is the best of the best, and in the future, the series will total more than $3 billion at the box office, making it the most successful racing film series in history. And next year, in 2002, Universal Pictures will begin to release a series of spy movies, which have been widely acclaimed, and will be one of the most successful series in the next decade or so, becoming a new classic of Hollywood action movies.
Such a company, although it is a big name, is also reassuring to work with, at least there is no need to worry about its lack of strength, which will delay the movie.
As for the final theater issue, this Cao Yan really doesn't care much about it for the time being. After all, the movie hasn't started filming yet, so you don't have to worry too much about the theater chain for the time being.
Transferred back to China, the first variety show of Yuanfang Media also began to prepare through Luo Migu.
The variety show idea comes from the two-day and one-night show of Nanxian Country in the original time and space, but in this time and space, this show has not yet started, so at this time, Zhou Fangyuan came up with this variety show, which is his original, although this is "plagiarism", but since the other party is Nanxian, Zhou Fangyuan has no psychological burden.
As for the choice of the host team, Zhou Fangyuan still decided to be a group of six. A six-person draw is the most suitable, the number is an even number, and it can be split at any time and divided into two or three teams to play and entertain the audience. Of course, nine people are fine, but if there are nine people, the number of people is inevitably a little too much, and it is inevitable that one will be taken care of at the expense of the other. And if there are fewer people, three people, it is too few. Not to mention the possibility of two and three teams to be taken into account, so six people are the most suitable.
The host team of six people is required to be at least the main host, that is, the first coffee, who must be a host who is already very famous in China, and it is best to be the type that is more joyful and makes people feel very coke when they look at it.
Although Hudong is good, he is from Nanxian after all, even if Zhou Fangyuan is willing to dig him, he may not be willing to come to work in Huaxia. And even if he is willing to come over, after all, he is the identity of the crooked nut, he can join the team, but he can't become the main coffee, and he himself is not very famous in the country, in fact, even in the next ten years of the previous life, Hudong's reputation in China can only be said to be average. And Hu Dong's personal symbol is very distinct, which leads to Zhou Fangyuan even if he puts him in the position of deputy coffee or even small coffee, he will still compete with the main coffee for the position, and then the hosting style of the whole show will become extremely chaotic, which is not what Zhou Fangyuan wants to see.
So although Hudong is a very good host, Zhou Fangyuan is still reluctant to let him join his variety show.
Then you have to choose a domestic host, and what about the domestic host, to be honest, Zhou Fangyuan really doesn't know much. It doesn't matter if you are a vice coffee or a small coffee, even if you cross borders, as long as you love to play, as long as you have a strong sense of variety shows. But the main coffee, as the on-site guide of the show, must have a certain foundation.
But Zhou Fangyuan doesn't know much about domestic hosts, especially in this era, even Sun Jing doesn't know much about the host's circle, so the question of this candidate is a little troublesome.
Fortunately, Zhou Fangyuan remembered a person, that is, a very good host that he could often see on TV before, his name was Tong Hao.
He won the love of children with his smart and witty, humorous hosting style. His touching image of being simple, kind, witty, and childlike has become a well-deserved "child king". Zhou Fangyuan also watched a lot of shows he hosted when he was a child, of course, it was in the previous life, well, maybe he also watched it in this life, but he can't remember it very clearly, but he feels that if this person is the main coffee of his variety show, there is no doubt that it is very suitable.
His smile is very infectious, and his hosting style is also very relaxed and bright, as a variety show host, he wants to bring joy to the audience, which Tong Hao is undoubtedly very qualified.
He was promoted in '56 and worked as an announcer at the Beijing Radio Station and as a part-time teacher at the Beijing Broadcasting Institute between '77 and '87.
In 78, he began to become the first batch of TV dubbing actors in Beijing and even in the country, such personnel, at that time, there were only about 18 people in the country, and he dubbed the male protagonists of more than 1,000 Chinese and foreign films such as Office Story and Ashin. The broadcast program was selected as a model teaching material.
In 85, he dubbed many works such as the radio drama Inmenghu. In the early 80s, he made large-scale key series of feature films such as CCTV's telenarrated World War II crimes. At the end of 89, he began to appear on the screen with the image of "Tong Hao", using the "funny head and Uncle Tong" series hosting method combined with dolls, and successively launched programs such as Robust's Wisdom Labyrinth and Uncle Tong Hao's mailbox. In 90, he began to host CCTV youth programs. Since then, it has been mainly hosting juvenile programs, and is deeply loved by the majority of small pot friends
Until June this year, he also hosted the children's concert of the Huaxia Philharmonic Orchestra.
It can be said that he is an experienced and well-known host. Although it is rare to host those serious shows, this is exactly what Zhou Fangyuan needs, he doesn't want his variety show to become a preaching show. Variety shows are variety shows, they are just for fun, and it's not beautiful to be so serious.
As the candidate for the main coffee, it was chosen.
Sun Jing was in charge of contact, and Tong Hao finally decided to join the show after thinking about it for half a month after getting Sun Jing's contact.
As for the deputy coffee, Zhou Fangyuan set his eyes on a young host on the toilet table, Huang Han. Huang Han was born in 74 and is only in his 20s this year, and his hosting experience is relatively not very rich, and he has only hosted a few shows. But he is wise, humorous, erudite, and he works hard, in the original time and space, he started from the lowest level of field work, chores, lighting, sound control, photography, on-site director all involved, and finally through his own efforts step by step from the very proud results, and in the future become one of the most famous hosts in China.
Such a young man, joining this variety show is not only to improve himself, but also to enrich the connotation of the show, at least the show can rely on his personal quality, mixed with some funny jokes.
The main coffee and the deputy coffee are decided, and the other hosts can choose relatively casually.
Needless to say, Sun Honglei must join, this person doesn't look serious, but he is also very good at playing. In later generations, a very famous variety show called Chicken Strips, he was the most outstanding host in it, especially the kind of little bad performance, which was deeply loved by many audiences. Of course, some people say that because of that variety show, Hong Lei's character design has been ruined, and the image of a serious man created by the TV series he has acted in before has all been destroyed, and some of the gains outweigh the losses.
But how to say this matter, it can be regarded as the opinion of the benevolent and the wise, at least Zhou Fangyuan recognized his joining the variety show.
As an actor, what I am most afraid of is wearing a label.
Once an actor is labeled by the audience as only suitable for the style of so-and-so, then he fails, because in this way, his acting path is restricted. The audience only likes to see his serious appearance, but they completely disapprove of his funny performance, which is a taboo for actors. So in the last life, Hong Lei took over a lot of relatively easy TV series in the later stage, but the ratings have not been very good, which is a manifestation of the blocked drama road. If he wants to go further, then he has to break through this blockade and make himself all-powerful.
Zhou Fangyuan Xiu'an was helping him, and before his image was completely "labeled", he let him show other styles, which was also a good thing for him.
In addition to Hong Lei, the second deputy coffee, Zhou Fangyuan chose Lu Yi, because the company had cooperated with Lu Yi before, and the cooperation was quite pleasant, so Zhou Fangyuan decided to make him the fourth host. Lu Yi is a little fresh meat that has suddenly jumped up in China in recent years, and his acting skills are okay, and he is also handsome. The appearance of the first three hosts, well, how to say it, when there are generally some problems, adding such a handsome young man can attract those female viewers to a great extent.
And the remaining two hosts, one of them has been confirmed to be Xingru.
After all, he has already promised others, and he has done such and such things, Zhou Fangyuan is definitely not the kind of person who pulls out ruthlessness, of course, he has no stupid feelings for Xingru, but the words he said were like water spilled out, saying that he gave people a chance, then give them a chance. And Xingru's current fame in China is not a great improvement for the show.
As for the last host, Sun Jing's idea at that time was to find another male star to fill in, but Zhou Fangyuan opposed this proposal. He decided to adopt the strategy of two actresses, and he wanted to choose a newcomer, because the first five people are all considered to have become famous, even the youngest Hong Lei, Lu Yi and Xingru already have a certain degree of fame, among which Xingru is the most famous, Lu Yi is second, and Hong Lei is again, but even so, Hong Lei has now become a hot new star because of a Liu Huaqiang.
And Tong Hao, not to mention, in this era, his fame is great.
Although Huang Han is poor, he is already up-and-coming, it can be said that the five people in front of him are no longer pure trust, Zhou Fangyuan now just wants to use newcomers, which can be regarded as giving newcomers a chance to become famous quickly.
And he chose women to balance the problem of male and female pairing when forming a team.
After all, if six people form two teams, if there is only one woman in Xingru, it will inevitably be unevenly distributed. After all, women are inherently weak in physical strength, so they should also add a woman to the other team. As for being divided into three groups, that's a different situation, and you can also add temporary guests, so this question is not important.
So who does this newcomer choose, Zhou Fangyuan set his sights on a very young actress.
