Chapter 279: Future TV Drama Themes
What Wang Anping said is also a key point, after all, now is not the time for everyone to burn their hands with a lot of money in the future, counting on a place to invest. At present, the level of development of capitalists in Chinese mainland is far from enough, not to mention, if Wang Anping is not supported by Japanese funds, then her stall will definitely not be so large.
In other words, investment is risky, so be cautious when entering the industry. Even if you look at a very promising project, when will it really be time for the project to finally go public, and when will it take for the investment to start to pay off, this is also a question.
However, as far as Ahri is concerned, in the case of Shen Zhenghui, it is indeed a profitable business, but as an investor, such as Wang Anping, if there is a problem with the funds in her other companies, then she will have to face the choice of selling Ahri's shares, rather than making a choice such as waiting for Ahri to go public and become the richest man in China.
In this way, Young Master Li may not have sold Penguin's shares in the first place not only because he felt that he had made enough money on this project, but perhaps he had to take a move to raise funds for other projects. was immediately picked up by Shen Zhenghui, who had abundant funds.
Generally speaking, it is difficult for individual investors to compete with large corporations.
Now, according to Wang Anping, it seems that not only Penguin's shares are being looked at, but even Ahri's future is also favored by many people. In the past, Ahri was a combination of a local team and an international investment fund, but now, it has become a combination of three aspects. The shape shì is more complicated from a certain point of view. In fact, in the handling of this matter, Wang Anping can be regarded as achieving her goal. She did not choose to resell her shares, nor did she accuse Ma and Cai of diluting their shares, but took this time as an opportunity. It gives those who covet their shares the opportunity to participate in this investment process together. As for how high the participation is, that's another question.
"So, that's actually what you want?" Shen Zhenghui asked thoughtfully.
"Yes," Wang Anping replied, "there are some people who can't refuse their requests, and Mitsumi Fukuda has already sued me. Ahri may surpass Microsoft in terms of market value in the future, so it will not offend people or make us suffer too much. She pouted, "These founders are also privileged." ”
Shen Zhenghui, who had taken a ride, had to express his gratitude, "Sister Ping, thank you so much." ”
"I can only help myself," Wang Anping said stiffly, "but you have suffered a loss in penguin stocks." ”
"Ah, that's nothing." Shen Zhenghui waved his hand, "Although I know that penguin stocks are very good, it will take a long time to rise to the top, and the bank's stocks are also very good, at least it pays dividends every year, and it will never go bankrupt." ”
"Never go bankrupt?" Wang Anping sneered slightly.
"At least not in my lifetime." Shen Zhenghui said.
"The world is changing too fast, don't talk so slowly." Wang Anping said lightly, "We're not bad now." Maybe there will be a time when you will go to prison. ”
"You're kidding." Shen Zhenghui didn't know which nerve Wang Anping touched, "That's right." I heard that Enron is getting married, when? Who is it? Shen Zhenghui changed the subject and said, "I should prepare a gift for him." ”
"Marriage ......" Wang Anping's expression was a little meaningful, "It's not so fast!" He himself was too pessimistic. He snorted slightly, "If you feel that you are forced to make sacrifices because of the needs of your family, this guy is too unconfident in his own abilities." ”
Shen Zhenghui suddenly choked a little. It seemed that Sister An Ping was a little dissatisfied with her brother's reaction, she waved her hand, "Don't worry, I will notify you when the time comes." ”
"That's good." Shen Zhenghui nodded.
Shen Zhenghui always felt that there was a problem with Penguin's shares and Ahri's shares, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. Holding shares in these two companies in the past gave him a sense of unreality. Now someone actually came over to either exchange or snatch in the hope of getting the shares, which made Shen Zhenghui feel that the shares in his hands were real. This means that even if the current situation continues, by 2014, China's richest man will definitely not be the one everyone is familiar with.
However, there are too many hidden things in this world, and with Shen Zhenghui's understanding, he knows that the wealth that Fukuda Mitsumi can control is definitely a shocking amount, but her name will not be on the world and Japan's rich list at all. Similarly, Wang Anping's control and wealth is also a huge value, but she herself is also unknown on the rich list. This means that the property of our state officials and their families may really be kept secret and kept in a hidden way.
After finishing the matter of Ahri, Shen Zhenghui continued to inspect his company in Yuhang, and was ready to leave after a little pointer in the direction of development, he couldn't manage this part at all now, so he handed it over to the management to develop himself, as long as it was enough to ensure the normal operation of the company. After reading Yuhang's enterprises, I was ready to return to Pengcheng, and it was not good to leave Pengcheng's enterprises there to fend for themselves for a long time. Over the years, Ah Heng has been tossing and turning in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, not to say that there are no achievements, but he has created a lot of well-known works, but the markets in Hong Kong and Taiwan are too small after all, and under the impact of their counterparts in Japan and the mainland, there are not many ways to live in Hong Kong-style animation. Therefore, although the rave reviews have been received and many awards have been won, in terms of business operations, it can only be said that it is not satisfactory.
But that's good, sometimes fame is more important than capital in the cultural industry, because fame needs to be accumulated. However, most of the things that Ah Heng made up could not be sold in the mainland, and the Japanese market was not large, which made him quite depressed.
However, before going south, Shen Zhenghui still had to go to Hengdian to see his father and his father's partners. The boss surnamed Hai is also one of the bigwigs in the private entertainment industry, but he mainly runs TV dramas, and he mainly relies on a well-known writer, and his company started by shooting the scripts of this famous writer and a member of the Writers' Association. At present, the popular Hua Dan and Xiaosheng in the TV series are basically mixed from his family's TV series.
However, the time has come to the 21st century, and the writer born in the 50s has gradually failed to catch up with the new changes. The rising stars in the TV drama industry are like turbulent waves, slapping those writers who are still relying on the system to write social stories to death on the beach. Represented by director Zhang Da's remake of a series of Mr. Jin Yong's works, TV dramas have completely entered the era of entertainment, coupled with the impact of Japanese dramas and Korean dramas (mainly the impact of Korean dramas after the deterioration of Sino-Japanese relations), in the past, a series of old screenwriters such as anti-corruption dramas, social dramas, and police crime dramas were filmed. It's a little completely out of step with the times, and they're still relying on the old foundation to eat.
Mr. Hai is also aware of this trend and knows that he should try to transform, but he has no concept of what direction to transform. Of course, the connections he had accumulated over the years still made him come up with a way, that is, to cooperate with Shen Xingguo again.
The two sides have cooperated before, but this time the nature is different, and Mr. Hai hopes to follow Shen Xingguo's line with Shen Zhenghui. Even if his status in the circle is higher than Shen Xingguo. But looking at the TV series that Shen Xingguo has invested in recent years, "Bright Sword", "Ji Xiaolan", etc., this shows that the other party's thinking is very clear, and he has a very accurate grasp of what can make money. Mr. Hai folded and handed it over, and Shen Xingguo naturally couldn't wipe off his face. So reading the script or something is just an excuse, fundamentally speaking, Mr. Hai wants to meet with Shen Zhenghui and wants to ask for some ideas from him. There is no harm in giving up some benefits to that end.
Shen Zhenghui met Mr. Hai in this context, and the other party really came up with some scripts. are all written by writers who have a cooperative relationship with them, and looking at the titles of "Five Star Hotel", "Deep Prison", and "New Never Look Away", Shen Zhenghui felt a pain in the eggs. This Mr. Hai also put on a very low posture, humbly asking for advice on the development direction of the TV series, and the high hat seemed to be worn by Shen Zhenghui and Shen Xingguo without money, which made Shen Zhenghui feel like he was on pins and needles.
"Mr. Hai. What do you think of Director Zhang's remake of Jin Yong's drama? ”
"His brand is too big," Mr. Hai showed an envious look, "CCTV package, we can't compare." ”
"No, I mean. Why does he think Jin Yong's drama will make money? ”
"Does that need to be said? That's Jin Yong! Prime Minister Hai said as a matter of course.
Shen Zhenghui was a little surprised how this guy got into this position, "Then why does Jin Yong's drama definitely make money?" ”
Mr. Hai was a little stunned, looked at Shen Xingguo, and replied repeatedly, "Jin Yong is very famous, of course he will make money." ”
"So do you think it means that as long as you adapt the works of famous people, the TV series will definitely make money?"
Mr. Hai couldn't react a little, and said in the future, "It should be like this, right?" ”
"Then don't you just find a famous person or a work and end it?"
"Our screenwriters are also very famous," Mr. Hai was a little unconvinced, pointed to the script and said, "The people who wrote these works are also members of the National Writers Association, and I don't know how many Golden Eagle Awards, Feitian Awards, and Golden Shield Awards have won." ”
"What about Jin Yong?"
Mr. Hai was a little dumbfounded, "How can this be compared with Jin Yong?" Where there are Chinese, there is Jin Yong. ”
"So I think you have a bit of a wrong idea when you identify yourself as famous," Shen Zhenghui said, "In this society, who cares what kind of writers the screenwriter is?" Member of the Writers' Association, awards and everything are false, the key is whether the fame is real, and now it is different from the previous idea. He spread out his hands, "Now everyone watches TV series to watch relaxing and good-looking, who will watch a disturbing TV series?" Unless it is specifically about trouble, even so, it must be accompanied by handsome men and beautiful women, isn't that the case with Korean dramas? Their troubles are either close to the reality of the parents, or unrealistic romance, and the key point is entertainment. Who will watch TV dramas to get educated, don't be corrupt, don't be corrupt, don't join the underworld or something? ”
Mr. Hai was a little confused, "So Director Shen, how do you say you should choose the script?" ”
"Now there are two markets for TV dramas, let's talk about the adult market first, middle-aged and elderly people watch what is relevant to life, parents are short, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are conflicted, etc., isn't Korean drama this style? It's smelly and long, but people just like to watch it. Recalling the days when he accompanied his mother to watch "Miss Mermaid", Shen Zhenghui couldn't help but shudder, "So daily family life is a good subject." Children are not filial, the elderly are in love at dusk, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are conflicted, and so on. These are all excellent subject matter, as long as it is not a brain-opening work and has real life experience, it will definitely attract the audience. ”
When he said this, both Mr. Hai and Shen Xingguo nodded.
"The youth and youth market is much more complicated, and now it looks like a generation that has been heavily influenced by martial arts novels has grown up. has become the main force of consumption, so Director Zhang's remake of Jin Yong's martial arts drama is a choice to get twice the result with half the effort, both in terms of publicity and achievements. This audience is very large. ”
"Then we can also shoot martial arts dramas!" Mr. Hai said with some excitement, "He shoots Jin Yong, we can shoot Gu Long, or Liang Yusheng, Wen Ruian and the like." ”
"It's a lot of pressure for you to imitate others," Shen Zhenghui said, "Everyone has a high appetite pushed by Director Zhang, can you keep up with your production level?" ”
Mr. Hai was a little unimpressed. "We don't need to shoot that big! It's always okay to have a small scene. ”
"The key is to find the right selling point." Shen Zhenghui said, "For example, the heroine is particularly beautiful and famous, and the male protagonist is particularly handsome." He still couldn't bear to tell the secret of selling rot.
"When you say that, I think it's suddenly enlightened." Mr. Hai said that he must have thought about these things every day, and he has not filmed martial arts dramas, but Shen Zhenghui said it again gave him more confidence.
"You're an expert at filming TV series." Shen Zhenghui praised without a trace, "You must know better than me how to make a TV series have selling points." I think it's all about entertainment. Everyone grew up reading Jin Yong's novels, so Jin Yong's drama is going to be filmed and broadcast, and everyone can't help but watch it; Nowadays, many people are influenced by Japanese and Korean dramas, and maybe Japanese and Korean drama remakes will become popular in the future, of course, this popular trend is not accurate. Maybe anti-Japanese dramas will also be popular! ”
"Yes, now that Sino-Japanese relations are so poor, anti-Japanese dramas may become popular." Mr. Hai hurriedly followed and said, "But Director Shen, you are too modest, your achievements in movies are better than the TV series I have filmed in my life combined." He laughed. Do you have a playbook that you are optimistic about right now? Let's learn too. He patted him on the chest, "Well, your father is also present, I promise, you take out this script, and I will definitely work with your father to shoot it." ”
"I haven't studied domestic scripts," Shen Zhenghui said, "but I think online novels are an area worth paying attention to, and we also saw the novel of "Bright Sword" on the Internet before. "But over the years, I've been paying attention to scripts that can be adapted into Japanese dramas or movies, and I haven't paid much attention to the scripts of TV dramas." ”
"Just say one!" Shen Xingguo said in a complaining tone on the side, "Boss Hai is so sincere. ”
Dad, you're really generous. Shen Zhenghui licked his lips, "The reason why I say that online novels are noteworthy is that this form of novel has developed with the development of the Internet, that is to say, it has developed with the generation of Internet users, and in a sense, it is the popular vane of Internet user preferences." ”
"Do you have any recommendations?" Mr. Hai hurriedly asked.
"Online novels are still in a stage of development, and now classic works are still a continuation of physical works in a sense, and now the popular ones on the Internet are time-traveling novels, and it will take a certain amount of time for this kind of novel to be accepted." Shen Zhenghui replied.
"Ah, I remember," Mr. Hai said, "What kind of "The Legend of Wukong" you filmed is an online novel, isn't it?" ”
"I didn't make it, but I did have an investment, and it was an animated film." Shen Zhenghui said.
Mr. Hai was a little surprised, "Old Shen, I do feel that I am old, I can't do it anymore, and I can't keep up with the times." These things are popular now, and I don't understand them at all. ”
"I don't understand either," Shen Xingguo said, "but you can find someone who understands to do these things, and you can make a decision in the end." ”
"I don't understand, how to make a decision?" Mr. Hai sighed, "With so many people under my hands to eat, I am also stubborn in my business!" ”
This is crying poor, hoping that Shen Zhenghui can feed food to his mouth.
"I heard that Jack Cheng is also preparing a movie similar to the time travel genre," Shen Zhenghui said, "It seems to be from the Qin Dynasty, which probably means that the people of the Qin Dynasty took immortal medicine and have not died until modern times." In terms of film themes, it may be necessary to avoid such factors. I think we can probably take a step ahead in the theme of the TV series, even if the radio and television do not approve it, we can remove the background of the protagonist's crossing and turn it into an ordinary historical theme, anyway, it is normal to talk nonsense about historical themes in TV dramas. ”
Mr. Hai licked his lips, "I don't understand this crossing too much, can you give an example?" ”
"It's like a modern person has arrived in the Qin Dynasty," Shen Zhenghui snapped his fingers, "Do you know "Looking for Qin"? ”
"I think I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it."
"You'll know if you see it," Shen Zhenghui smiled, "Isn't TVB already made into a movie?" Boss Hai should know more about the information of his peers. ”
"I'll watch it when I go back, and I'll watch it when I go back." He said hurriedly.
"Don't worry, there are several considerations for choosing a theme!" Shen Zhenghui said, "Online novels are only one of the sources of the theme, I just help you clear up your thoughts." ”
"You've done me a great favor." Mr. Hai toasted. (To be continued......)
