Chapter 0442 - Had to Learn from DreamWorks
"You're calm, it seems that you really have capital. Aunt Tang Yun looked Tang Huan up and down.
Seeing that the old lady was overwhelming, Tang Huan flickered in his heart, this old man had the qualifications to study in California with his father when he was young, and to accompany his uncle in the turbulent Southeast Asia in the fifties and sixties, it is really not easy to fool.
Sure enough, my aunt Tang Yun continued to say: "I heard that you have taken out a private house in Xiangjiang - Xiangjiang Land Company, which belongs to a well-known local landlord, and you can pay a large amount of money just by collecting rent, so pay it over." ”
As soon as he heard that his aunt Tang Yun was asking for this, Tang Huan's eyes straightened at that time, "The old lady's trick is too ruthless." Without Hongkong Land, it will become very inconvenient to hide Jiaojiao in Xiangjiang Golden House. ”
"Auntie, the future of Xiangjiang is still uncertain, and correspondingly, the value of real estate has also risen and fallen, which can compare to the preservation of assets in the United States. Your eye for picking things is a bit out of standard this time. Tang Huan tactfully persuaded the old lady to change her goal.
"Unclear, then you're still fighting with the British. Aunt Tang Yun glared at her nephew with other intentions, "What, my old woman finally opened her mouth once, are you reluctant?"
"Hey, you old man can do whatever he wants, how can I be reluctant. Tang Huan, who was so squeezed that he couldn't tell the difference, had no choice but to send out this small treasury with pain.
I have to say that Tang Huan, who has the halo of the richest man in the United States, is scheming enough, but under the word filial piety, he is still seen by his aunt Tang Yun, who knows that her son is incomprehensible, and sees the key layout clearly. And then clean up obediently.
Besides. Tang Huan was also ordered to stay in the United States during this time. Go to visit Zhao Yazhi frequently.
"When a man is rich, he becomes bad, and the old man is too wise. Zhao Yazhi, who got the news, snickered, "Your shelf is so big, only the elders can control you." ”
Tang Huan rubbed his nose in embarrassment, changed the topic and said, "I have a lot of things on hand, I need to go to Asia, I can't work here and wait for the little guy to be born." ”
"Go ahead. Zhao Yazhi waved his hand lazily, "The others don't have this kind of treatment." I can't be special either. ”
Tang Huan nodded, very pleased with Zhao Yazhi's reasonableness. But then again, if you have food in your hands, you don't panic, your women are in control of an industry, and you don't fall in love in the air, so you will naturally be calmer.
……
When Silicon Valley One took off from San Francisco, it also carried a small tail - Weng Jingjing, who had a lot of fun in the United States.
"Xiangjiang University has already opened, aren't you afraid of being expelled from class if you are so absent?" Tang Huan smiled and pinched Xiao Nizi's cheek.
"Of course I've taken a leave of absence. Weng Jingjing tilted her head with a grin, "I went to watch "Fang Shiyu" yesterday. I found that watching Chinese movies here in the United States feels very different. ”
"Looks like you're really in the U.S. this time. I still have time to go to the movies. Tang Huan shook his head.
Due to the convenience of the distribution channels of Lianmei and MGM, the movie "Fang Shiyu" entered the American theater very quickly, relying on the "novelty", it really attracted the audience who were originally interested in such films, and the box office is expected to be higher than the previous "Shaolin Temple".
"By the way, Brother Huan, do you remember what I told you about a female classmate who disappeared after attending the teacher appreciation banquet?" Weng Jingjing stared at her eyes wide, and said with palpitations: "It turned out to be a case of perverted murderers, and there were four victims in total from February to July." ”
"The Xiangjiang police have caught this butcher on a rainy night, and now the world is finally peaceful. Tang Huan bowed slightly, and he didn't know how much credit he had given to the inside line he had placed in the Xiangjiang police investigation team from the cracking of this case.
"What a coincidence do you say, Lin Jianming's first film "Heat Wave" produced and directed, the plot turned out to be similar to this case, and the role played by Zheng Zeshi is the movie version of Lin Guoyun. Weng Jingjing said with an incredible face, "This movie was released in Xiangjiang for 8 days, and it is said that the box office has more than 2.5 million. ”
Tang Huan still has an impression of Lin Jianming, and she played Fang Yanyun in "Shang_ Beach" in the original time and space. In this version of "On the Beach" filmed by DreamWorks, Tang Huan gave this role to Lin Fengjiao, so as to give the other party a foreshadowing for the development of Xiangjiang, but the plan did not change quickly, but Lin Fengjiao was picked by her aunt Tang Yun to be a full-time daughter-in-law.
This coincidence, in fact, is also traceable. Now that Xiangjiang's economy has indeed developed, social civilization has not kept up, problems such as teenagers going astray, social injustice, and the widening gap between the rich and the poor are becoming more and more acute. ”
Tang Huan analyzed it matter-of-factly, Weng Jingjing nodded again and again when she heard it, and said admiringly: "Brother Huan, your vision is too keen, you can always see the essence of this world. ”
……
Guan Zhilin specially came to the airport to pick up Tang Huan, and when she saw Weng Jingjing, who was blushing and her eyes were bright, she was immediately angry, "This stinky girl, not only robbed the heroine of the movie "Applause" with herself, but also robbed her beloved man, and the most well-behaved kitten in front of Tang Huan is the other party." ”
"Brother Huan, I'm going home to get ready for college. Weng Jingjing met Guan Zhilin's puffing gaze, blinked, turned around and got into the car.
"Jiahui, how are you busy with work?" Tang Huan, who saw this scene, turned the corners of his mouth up, and asked casually to divert the other party's attention.
Guan Zhilin sat beside Tang Huan affectionately, hugged the man's arm and said coquettishly: "Brother Huan, the first movie I participated in is ready to be released, people want to invite you to go to the cheering scene in person, do you have time?"
After someone in the DPRK and China is good at being an official, Guan Zhilin, who is deeply feeling that she is like a summer flower, insisted on returning to Xiangjiang from the United States to develop, and was directly arranged by Hu Yinmeng to take over the filming of a youth fashion TV series "Goodbye Crazy Cow", and He Jiajin, who graduated from the DreamWorks artist training class, served as the heroine and the actor respectively, and her beautiful and refined appearance left a deep impression on the audience. It has been well received by the media.
I have to say. Guan Meiren can do half the work just by eating with her face. It was a great start.
The movie starring Guan Zhilin is called "Goodbye Jianghu", which is invested and filmed by Siyuan Film Company, the actor is Zhou Yanfa, and the other main supporting roles are also quite qualified film practitioners, only Guan Zhilin is a newcomer who is full of color.
It can be said that this opportunity was won by relying on Guan Zhilin's father Guan Shan's connections from the film for decades.
is the so-called family history, under the influence of her ears and eyes, Guan Zhilin is more or less clear about the doorway of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. The sedan chair carried people, so she planned to invite Tang Huan, who happened to come to Xiangjiang, to come to the town.
"Hmph, with this great god here, I, a newcomer, won't eat dry rice for nothing. Guan Meiren intends to take advantage of this situation.
"Look at what you said, your business, how can I not have time!" Tang Huan laughed loudly and agreed.
……
Wang Jingzai carefully wiped the signboard of his film studio, repeatedly confirmed that it was spotless, and then carefully hung it back in its place.
This scene happened to be watched by Du Qifeng, who came to the door, and he couldn't help but joke. "How many times in a day have you rubbed it?"
"You know what, stay in TVB all day. Filming day and night, where do you understand the value of this brand. Wang Jing cut and didn't bother to explain.
"Jing Dynasty, not only the name is imposing, but also the big boss Mr. Tang personally inscribed the word. Du Qifeng said the mystery with envy, "Don't think that I am really closed to information." ”
"Then do you know that in the latest issue of Forbes magazine, Mr. Tang was officially named the richest man in the United States with a net worth of $4 billion. Wang Jing glanced at Du Qifeng, who was stunned, and pointed to the signboard and said proudly: "This baby is the only one at present, and there is no other semicolon for this one." ”
"Admire, you've picked up a treasure. Du Qifeng praised sincerely.
"What is it called, this is what I earned by my ability. Wang Jing sat comfortably in the boss's chair, "If you come to hang out with me, then please go back, I still have something to do." ”
"You're too unrighteous to be angry. Master is so busy this year, you said that you would be distressed and would lend a hand, but in the end, all the things you said were stuffed into my hands. Feelings are to be front when people are used, and back when they are not needed. Du Qifeng complained while taking the cup and pouring water for himself.
"Actually, I feel that if TVB has been filming according to the current model, it will really be crushed by DreamWorks. Wang Jing sighed, "Instead of this, I might as well concentrate on the things at hand and make more money, so that my father can retire early, so as not to be burdened." ”
This year, TVB began filming Jin Yong's martial arts drama, and also chose this work with the help of the popular sales of the video game "Dragon Babu" in the Chinese-speaking region of Asia.
first 30 episodes of "Tianlong Babu: Six Veins Divine Sword", and then 20 episodes of "Tianlong Babu: The Legend of Xuzhu", just from the change in the number of episodes, it can illustrate the subtle change in TVB's shooting attitude.
To be honest, the audience still buys TVB's "Dragon Babu" created by a large number of well-known artists, and the response is also very enthusiastic, but there is one thing, there is always that sensational feeling.
For TVB, which has long occupied the absolute advantage of Xiangjiang TV's ratings, it is like scratching an itch in the boots, and I feel very uncomfortable.
On the other hand, the DreamWorks TV series broadcast by Media Asia TV, "Chen Zhen" and "Dragon Babu" are in a similar situation, but "The Jade Bow of the Sea of Clouds" and "To the East is the Sea" have achieved the effect of causing a sensation in Hong Kong.
"Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" is based on Liang Yusheng's novel of the same name, adapted and filmed a costume martial arts TV series, the male protagonist Jin Shiyi is played by Liu Songren, the heroine Li Shengnan is played by Mi Xue, and the other heroine Gu Zhihua is played by DreamWorks' jade singer Zhang Delan, which is also her first TV series as the heroine, in line with the current trend of multi-habitat development in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.
I have to say that the screenwriting team of DreamWorks, in the adaptation of "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge", fully showed the talent accumulated in the past few years, and gave full play to the grievances and hatreds between Jin Shiyi, Li Shengnan, and Gu Zhihua.
When Li Shengnan, who was frequently misunderstood, finally closed his eyes in Jin Shiyi's arms, the audience in Xiangjiang was really abused, and tears fell into tears.
Even, Jin Yong wrote an article in his own "Ming Pao", thinking that DreamWorks' "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge" is more spiritual and more attractive to the audience.
After self-examination, TVB believes that it only cares about the driving effect of the video game "Dragon Babu", but ignores that "Dragon Babu" is too grand, with three protagonists: Duan Yu, Qiao Feng, and Xuzhu, which distracted the audience's attention, and was compared to the exquisite and meticulous and heart-wrenching love triangle of "Yunhai Jade Bow Edge".
After learning the hard way, TVB set the Jin Yong martial arts drama filmed in 1983 as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and became more and more cautious in preparation.
Another sensational TV series produced by DreamWorks "East is the Sea", the performance lineup is Wu Weiguo, Ma Min'er and other popular artists of Yuan Li's TV, and the length has reached the usual upper limit of DreamWorks TV drama production - 40 episodes, telling a story about Zhejiang merchants from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, combining historical, business war, emotion and other elements.
Most of the content of this TV series was completed at the DreamWorks Film and Television Base in the mainland, although it was not deliberately promoted due to possible political influences, but the picture style is obviously different from the current Xiangjiang TV series, which is more majestic and unforgettable.
It is said that it is very rare for the charter boat king to suddenly pay attention to TV entertainment, and during the broadcast of "East is the Sea" on Media Asia TV, he deliberately put off all official duties that required business trips and stayed in Xiangjiang to chase dramas.
During this period, the business circles such as the "Shanghai Gang" and the "Ningbo Gang" who came to Xiangjiang a few decades ago should not be underestimated, and this can even be seen in the diverse food culture of Xiangjiang.
There is no doubt that "To the East is the Sea" in particular has struck an emotional chord with these people, and it is not surprising that the influence of celebrities such as the charter boat king has caused a sensation.
In addition, there is also a gossip around "East is the Sea", it is said that the original author of "East is the Sea" is the mother of Hu Yinmeng, the owner of DreamWorks, but in the face of media inquiry, Hu Yinmeng neither admitted nor denied it, which really made curious people itch.
Regarding the success of "East is the Sea", TVB did not plan to imitate it so radically, but summarized the elements and combined with the rich experience of filming family dramas before, brewed a "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains and Always Love".
Although Wang Jing has left TVB, his father's status is there, so his news is still very well-informed.
Du Qifeng nodded thoughtfully, and then his eyes were attracted by a script that Wang Jingzhen took out, so he joked: "It looks neater than a primary school student's homework book, and it doesn't seem to be an ordinary thing." (To be continued......)
