Chapter 640: Wandering on both sides
Traveling between the mainland and the treasure island is like walking a tightrope, and Wu Cheng naturally has a trade-off between the pros and cons. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 After weighing it, Wu Cheng got the result that he would get more by investing in the mainland.
Whether it is the investment environment or the relationship with Jiang Sanshao, the Baodao side is good, and the benefits that can be seen at this stage are naturally more on the Baodao side. Not to mention anything else, just the movies released by Donglong International here, after a year, the box office has also been one or two hundred million.
This is real money, which can be seen and touched.
In the mainland, there is no need to think about the box office for the time being. It's already a great 'grace' for people to be able to let your film in.
If you still want to share the box office, then you think too much. When the drama "Taking the Wrong Car" entered the mainland, it was also bought out, and it was at a very low price.
However, Wu Cheng doesn't care much about the money, at this stage, as long as his film can enter the mainland. In simple and clear words, it is to mix up the face first!
Even if Wu Cheng is going to shoot the "Shaolin Temple", it is estimated that if he wants to share the box office in the future, the difficulty will not be small, at most it is just to give him a meaning.
However, Wu Cheng will eventually choose to walk like a tightrope between the two sides, in addition to the relationship between Jiang Sanshao, what he values will naturally not be as simple as the box office of the movie "Shaolin Temple". On the one hand, the trend that this drama can drive is that the high-level people in the mainland need them to express their attitude.
If he hadn't invested in the tourism development of Shaolin Temple, Wu Cheng would have had to make a choice when the mainland asked the wealthy people in Xiangjiang to invest in the CITIC Group.
Wu Cheng actually foresaw this. Of course, this is only part of the reason.
The more reason is to accelerate the development of the mainland film market, and at the same time to provide a clearer idea for the development of Chinese-language films.
These reasons are impossible for Wu Cheng to do, and he doesn't know how to tell others.
It sounds great, but in fact, Wu Cheng is more for himself. How big the market in the mainland is, he naturally knows very well from the later generations.
Of course, it is not impossible to say that such a big market will enter later, after all, the real prosperity of the mainland film market is still after entering the 21st century.
However, if it is just to make money, Wu Cheng does not need to be so troublesome. Making money is just one of the many reasons. The biggest reason is to promote the development of Chinese films in the mainland through itself. Wu Cheng didn't know how effective he could be by doing this, but it was better to do it than to do nothing.
He knows very well in his heart that if Chinese films want to rise, his efforts alone are useless. All he can do is to play a guiding role.
Just like the Xiangjiang movie can't be saved, all he can do is to retain a last trace of dignity...... Of course, now that Xiangjiang Films are packaged by Wu Cheng in the shell of Chinese-language films, if Xiangjiang Films rely on the mainland market in the future, even if the Southeast Asian market is not good, Xiangjiang Films will not die directly.
The scope of the later Xiangjiang Film Awards has become a Xiangjiang film as long as there is money from Xiangjiang to invest, it is considered a Xiangjiang film.
Wu Cheng actually disagrees with this division.
In Wu Cheng's view, Xiangjiang movies have a special feeling of Xiangjiang people, which is difficult for people in other regions to copy.
Only such a movie can be regarded as a real Xiangjiang movie.
Now, Wu Cheng plans to change the concept secretly, so that Xiangjiang filmmakers will no longer be limited to this small range, but include the entire Chinese film. Even if Hong Kong Films is boycotted by Southeast Asian countries in the future, at least the mainland market can support it.
Of course, the market over there will definitely not let outside movies enter casually, so let those shoddy movies die!
It is impossible for Wu Cheng to stop Xiangjiang Films from entering the road of shoddy production, because this road is a shortcut to make money, even if everyone knows that this road is a road of no return, but under the temptation of money, there will still be countless people on this road.
What Wu Cheng can do is only to bring his own company.
Of course, it's not that he's high, he doesn't want the money. But he understands very well that as long as he can maintain the quality, whether it is North America, Southeast Asia, or the mainland market in the future, he will be able to use quality to knock open.
Southeast Asian countries boycott Hong Kong films, but there are still certain introduction indicators every year, and these indicators will definitely choose those films with excellent quality.
Not to mention the mainland, if the quality is not good, it will definitely not be able to pass. And even if the quality is passed, the content has to be reviewed by the 'State Administration of Optoelectronics'.
Wu Cheng firmly believes that his persistence will definitely be replaced by more interests in the future, others can be short-sighted, they can only focus on the immediate interests, but he can't.
As a traverser, it would be a failure to do this kind of thing. Although Xiangjiang Movie can't save it, it can't be the one who 'stepped on it again'.
And this is also the biggest reason why Wu Chengyou walks between the mainland and the treasure island.
Looks like something great...... No, Wu Cheng feels that even if he has selfishness in it, in the eyes of countless people in the future, he will definitely be the biggest hero of the rise of Chinese films!
Even if he has selfish intentions, he is still great in the eyes of many.
As for the benefits that come with it, that's what he deserves, isn't it?
Even those who are red-eyed will definitely have to admit in the future that he deserves it.
This kind of thing that is both famous and profitable, Wu Cheng naturally will not be reluctant to do it.
What's more, there is still a Jiang Sanshao on the treasure island who can help him mediate one or two. Maybe you can still get around!
With so many conditions, it would be too timid if he was not willing to walk the tightrope.
Watching those interests slip away from your eyes and be indifferent, you will be thundered by the sky.
How do you say that sentence: God gives the Buddha to take, but suffers the blame. If you don't do it, you will suffer it!
If you let someone else shoot "Shaolin Temple", it will be much more difficult for you to win Li Lianjie, a kung fu superstar. And this drama will definitely appear when the time comes, and it will fight with his own company's films. This is the 'time is not good, but it suffers'.
……
After staying here on the treasure island for a few days, I first went to the two families of Xia Denglin to visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Although their daughter did not come with him, as their son-in-law, it is somewhat unreasonable to come here without visiting them.
Moreover, the Lin family is also preparing to move to Xiangjiang, and Wu Cheng also learned by the way, when he will move over, he will send a special plane to pick them up and do his filial piety.
After that, he went to several companies to learn about the company's development process.
As for the direction of the company's development, plans have already been drawn up, and the company's leaders only need to implement these plans according to them.
After visiting other companies, Wu Cheng went to Donglong International Baodao Branch, and then accompanied Zhao Yazhi to the crew of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang".
At this time, Zhang Aijia was still filming "Crazy Robbery" in Xiangjiang, and her role was almost unfinished. However, because she is the CEO of a company, she uses her role to concentrate on filming a section, and then returns to Baodao to deal with the company's affairs, and then goes back to filming.
In this way, Zhang Aijia is naturally so busy that her feet don't touch the ground, so that she has no time to fall in love. The things that Wu Cheng was worried about have not happened for the time being.
came to the crew of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", and when the main creators saw Wu Cheng coming, they couldn't help but stop their work, and then stepped forward to greet Wu Cheng.
Wu Cheng is a busy man, but he rarely comes here to help. Even when "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" was filmed last year, he didn't come.
Of course, last year's "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhao Yazhi did not participate. In the original time and space, Zhou Zhiruo in this play was played by Zhao Yazhi. But now, except for the male protagonist who has not changed, the two female protagonists have changed, and Sister Wang has no chance to play Zhao Min again.
There are several directors of the drama "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", but the producer is Xu Xiaoming, who came from Xiangjiang, and among the several directors, there is Zhao Zhenqiang sent by Wu Cheng.
In addition to him, several other directors are the directors of Baodao, Wu Cheng looked at these faces, a little familiar, but he couldn't name them for a while.
In the original time and space, "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was filmed by the wireless side, and the big fat man Wang Tianlin is the producer of this TV series, and there are several screenwriters of this drama, including the little fat man Wang Jing.
However, now, although there are also several screenwriters of this play, they have nothing to do with the wireless side. In addition to Wu Cheng, Xiao Luoyuan and Xu Xiaoming are all screenwriters.
And these two are also known as the 'screenwriters' on Yuan Li's TV station.
Only people like Wu Cheng are qualified to let these two fill the script for him!
"Boss, you're a rare guest!" Xu Xiaoming said with a chuckle at Wu Cheng. In their opinion, Wu Cheng's character is not as arrogant as the outside world. Yes, Xu Xiaoming and they are still not afraid to make a few jokes with him. Of course, what he said was right, Wu Cheng did rarely go to other crews to inspect, because he felt that it was too unnecessary, but it would affect everyone's work.
Wu Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I just came over to take a look, are you still used to it?"
As he spoke, he noticed that a resentful gaze drifted towards him, making him smile bitterly in his heart. At the same time, I was also wondering in my heart, whether to find a time to comfort this resentful woman! From the time she returned to Xiangjiang to celebrate the full moon for his little daughter, she had not comforted her. (To be continued.) )
