……

Let's omit the process of fermentation of this controversy.

All in all, the controversy is mainly divided into two battlefields.

The dispute between commercial and literary nature with online literature as the core.

The battle between commerciality and aesthetics with TV dramas as the core.

At the end of the day, it's the same thing.

Cao Fangfang went from the initial small excitement to a long period of confusion, and then to the recent anxiety.

He could see at a glance why it was just an impromptu speech that caused controversy.

It's all about profit.

From the very beginning, the Singularity Group, which has always been wise and self-protective, not only did not affect Cao Fangfang's speech at the IP ceremony, but even when it was broadcast later, it did not cut too much, and basically retained all the content of his speech.

Why?

Cao speculated that they needed some corrective propaganda and open up a new possibility.

As the giant of Penguin, the parent company of Singularity, the online literature IP, has encountered great problems in IP adaptation in the past two years.

However, the largest male frequency market in online literature cannot be effectively converted into TV series, that is, IP cannot be sold.

The reason is also simple, because the ratings are not rosy.

Just like Cao Fangfang said, it's not good-looking.

Don't look at the fact that there is still a steady stream of online male frequency big IPs in the project shooting this year, in fact, these are all pressed boxes that have been sold in the past, and the new IPs in the past two years have been seriously unsalable.

Immortal Sin made an attempt, combining cheap aesthetic special effects with expensive high-precision special effects, and although the content was modified a lot, it still gained market recognition when the cost was feasible...... Regardless of the amount of scolding, anyway, the real ratings are clear at a glance in the background of Singularity Video.

Singularity Group uses Cao Yifang's influence to do publicity, one is to prove it on the Internet, and to counter the current public opinion people who are crazy to follow the trend, and second, it is hoped that the film and television industry can learn from Cao Yifang's successful experience in this drama on a large scale.

In this way, the male frequency IP can take a new big step, a truly effective adaptation, a good-looking adaptation, in order to continue to sell new IP, and at the same time, huge benefits can also give birth to better works.

Naturally, they did not understand how many coincidences and difficulties there were.

Later, after forgetting the old way and flying frost and rain, many well-known online writers joined the controversy, also because they found out...... This time the management of the entire singularity was very quiet, with a faint conniving tacit approval.

The anger of the online writer is well understood, this industry is both mental and physical work, hard work is more than 10,000 words, the vast majority of interests are pirated and grabbed, while trying to please readers, but also being despised and criticized by public opinion...... It's normal to be upset.

On the other hand, the traditional authors reacted so much that it was easier to understand.

They think that their works that have been sharpened for ten years and painstakingly are of course more valuable than almost all online articles......

But I can't make enough money!

The list of rich writers is divided into two lists, and traditional writers are beaten in the face by online writers in terms of income figures.

In addition, there are actors, screenwriters, directors, and even producers in the entertainment industry who have shouted the most enthusiastically.

Some of them really feel that the adaptation of the Internet has ruined the content creation of TV dramas, making TV series more and more shallow and vulgar.

So they believe that if the Internet is disconnected from TV dramas and professional screenwriters are allowed to create professionally, TV dramas will return to their former glory.

But this is only a small group of people, and more of them have actually formed an alliance faintly, whether they have discussed it privately or not, but they all want to make the Cao side stink and make the Cao side disappear.

There are still enough reasons to exclude the people he has consciously offended, and the victims of the resources he has unconsciously snatched...... There is also a more general and unbreakable truth.

Peers are enemies, and others are hell.

In the domestic entertainment industry, since ancient times, no one has been able to jump as high-profile as Cao Fangfang, and there are stars who can start and finish well.

With the core force of the Beijing circle as the axis, the pressure is coming from the mountains and tsunamis.

……

Cao Fangfang Studio.

Unlike the choices of other stars, Cao Fangfang did not choose the location of the studio in Beijing or Dongsheng Film and Television City, but arranged it nearby, in an art park in Pudong, Jianghai City, not far from Liu Meng Studio.

The place of registration is also Jianghai City, anyway, the preferential tax rate policies in various places have been cancelled.

He liked the top floor, so he chose the top floor of this twelfth-floor office building, which was originally a small wedding photo studio.

An important reason why he is anxious is because of this.

The contract of Liumeng Studio expired, and Cao Fang was at a turning point in his acting career.

Cao Fangfang, who took time out of his busy schedule, kept his mobile phone ringing.

"I know, I know, wait a minute, the new drama won't take ...... for the time being"

"The studio hasn't recruited all the people yet, yes, no, no, no, don't recommend candidates to me, I'll look for you later." ”

"I'm noisy, decorating! Let's talk back!"

Cao Yifang was patrolling in front, and the surrounding renovation workers were working hard to dismantle the house, and the whole studio was full of the sound of sledgehammers chiseling walls, and the movement of dismantled objects slamming on the ground, booming.

After a circle of cigarettes for the workers and masters, he quickly withdrew.

Led by Ouyang Youmo and An Lan, almost the entire team was waiting outside, and everyone had a backlog of things in their hands, and they had to report to Cao Fang immediately and let him make up his mind.

Seeing these people, Cao Fang was upset and irritable for a while.

That's a lot going on.

He turned and walked into the elevator, and they rushed in.

"Mr. Cao, I told you a long time ago that you should not speak casually in public, you see ...... now"

Before An Lan finished speaking, Cao Fang scolded back: "Don't talk nonsense, you organize useful content first." ”

An Lan was aggrieved.

Curly hair and ink hurriedly interjected, and summarized it in the most accurate language: "Strange and wonderful said that I plan to open a special column, and invite Cai Sheng, Zhou Hongjun, as well as screenwriters and Internet god authors in the circle to participate in a debate, are you going? ”

The elevator door opened, and Cao Fang walked out, pinching his ears irritably: "They are all willing to participate, won't they?"

"The people in the program team said that if you go, they will go. He Mo hurriedly followed.

Male assistant No. 1 also wanted to interject: "Boss Cao, ...... that recruitment job"

He Mo stared at him: "Shut up, line up!"

Male assistant No. 2 hurriedly covered No. 1's mouth and smiled cutely and flatteringly.

It's no wonder that they used this stupid method to run behind and say, it's really that Cao Fang is too busy to rely on the phone and the Internet to deal with trivial matters, so they can meet as much as possible, and seize some scattered time to explain things.

Anyway, their time is relatively worthless, and when they learned that Cao Fang came to see the renovation progress today, they rushed over.

Cao Fang walked to the garden fountain in the park, stopped, and took a breath: "Forget it, I can't go." ”

An Lan kicked on her high heels and hurriedly caught up: "Yes, you can't go!"

Cao Fang looked at her.

An Lan explained: "Did you find it, there are too many people attacking you in the circle now, and there are few people who help you speak, which will create an illusion for the general public......"

Before she could finish speaking, Cao Fang turned to He Mo and said, "I'll go." ”

"Okay!" Without saying a word, Yomo turned around and went on the phone.

An Lan's eyes widened, and she burst into a soft and cute foul language angrily: "I'll ...... it"
