Asia Television has gradually gotten on the right track, led by a few leading programs. Shen Zhenghui's interference in TV stations is gradually decreasing, partly because he wants to devote his energy to film production, and partly because he wants to cultivate a completely independent TV station operation team. At present, the top management of this Asian TV station is basically the forces of the mainland, the power of the original ATV, and a collection of some elites from Japan, it will take time to run in well, although Shen Zhenghui himself can better play the role of a top leader, but if he really spends his mind on this every day, he will also feel tired, it is better to take this opportunity to let all parties show their abilities at this opportunity, so that the entire operation team can fully run in. After all, there are forces on several sides, and this kind of decentralization is a good thing, which means that he may understand the situation at any time and re-intervene in the TV station.

Of course, even if he doesn't interfere much with the operation of the TV station, this does not mean that Shen Zhenghui really ignores the situation of the TV station. Although Wang Bin came to the crew, Wang Jun is still ATV, in addition, Liu Tianwang, as Shen Zhenghui's collaborator, is also a competent candidate for Shen Zhenghui to understand the situation of the TV station.

After the launch of "The Voice of Asia", Liu Tianwang suddenly found that he was the weakest of the four mentors. Professor Liu's professionalism in the mainland far exceeds that of ordinary pop singers, although his appearance is not very eye-catching, but even the picky Hong Kong audience has to admit that Professor Liu is worthy of being a professor after watching "The Voice of Asia" seriously, and he is really good at professional skills. In comparison, Hong Kong and Taiwan singers can only compare their feelings with him.

At the same time, Xiaotianwang Zhou is deeply loved by teenagers, there are a bunch of brain-dead fans, Aunt Nakajima's writings are equal to her body, ** Hong Kong and Taiwan singers in the 10s are basically covering her songs and eating together, and she herself is the glory itself. In comparison, Liu Tianwang had to be last in singing, if it weren't for his good influence in all aspects, in the show, Liu Tianwang really didn't know how to express himself. Especially in the scene demonstrated by several major mentors, Liu Tianwang felt that he was born shorter, and he originally felt that he should surpass Zhou Xiaotianwang. But the brain-dead fan of King Zhou at the scene was too fierce, and it forcibly created the atmosphere of King Zhou's home field. So Liu Tianwang also complained a few words in the phone call to Shen Zhenghui, saying that he didn't want to be a mentor next time.

"Unless you don't do it yourself, I'll always leave this position to you." Shen Zhenghui replied, "You are the representative of Hong Kong!" ”

"There are so many powerful representatives in Hong Kong!" Liu Tianwang said with a smile, he actually didn't pay much attention to the general discussion in the market, and he didn't know how many people were souring his position as a mentor, "But keep doing it." I don't think it's interesting anymore. ”

Liu Tianwang probably still wants to continue to show his strength in the film industry, after leaving the Hong Kong film industry one after another, he and Liang Yingdi have gradually become the leading figures in Hong Kong films, and it is impossible not to make movies. Of course, Liu Tianwang took the initiative to call, definitely not to mention that he didn't want to be a mentor in the next season of the show, "The movie "Crazy Stone" we invested in is about to be released. Are you interested in standing on the platform for young directors? ”

"Crazy Stone?"

"Yes, it's the Asian Star Project," Liu Tianwang took the initiative to say, "The director was introduced by you, have you forgotten?" ”

"I remember that director was very talented," Shen Zhenghui tilted his head. "Like me, you're a post-70s generation, right?"

"Yes, in front of you, we are all old after 60s, and the pressure is too great." Liu Tianwang joked.

"Do a good job of publicity, I guess this movie will give you a box office surprise." Shen Zhenghui replied, "I won't go, I'm going to take the lead." I'm also impatient to be asked how my new film is going at this time. ”

"So how about your new film? With such a big production zuò, neither Jack Cheng nor Jett Lee have participated in such a big production zuò. Liu Tianwang asked.

"The post-production is too long," Shen Zhenghui sighed, "It will be released next summer." ”

"It's going to be released next summer?" Obviously, Liu Tianwang, who is familiar with film production, was slightly taken aback, "It's okay that your speed is not slow at all, I heard that your live scenes have been filmed, and the scene has already begun to shoot the second part, and Hollywood doesn't have your speed." ”

Shen Zhenghui scratched his head, "Okay, when the boss thinks about too many things, more than when you are a director, you always have to think about the cost savings of the movie, right?" When the movie is released at the box office and then prepare for the sequel shooting, it will be too late, and I am also helpless. ”

Liu Tianwang said in an envious tone on the other end of the phone, "I also want to be forced to be helpless like this." ”

……

When Shen Zhenghui was immersed in the time to shoot, "Crazy Stone" had already been released in China. Richie's works that paid tribute to him quickly became popular in the mainland market because of their down-to-earth bridges. This film, in which Shen Zhenghui and Liu Tianwang jointly invested less than 4 million yuan, with Wang Jun as the producer, was unexpectedly popular all over the country. Wang Juntong's relationship with Shen Zhenghui has promoted a new propaganda plan, not only attaching importance to general channels, but also paying special attention to the propaganda of online channels, and investing a lot of publicity expenses in Youku, Youku, and major forums -- compared with traditional propaganda, it still saves a lot of money, and after word of mouth and online discussions, it gradually forms a sparkling trend. Even Liu Tianwang didn't expect that after spending another four million dollars to shoot a movie, and investing the same amount of money in publicity, the box office was like a volcanic eruption, after the tranquility before the eruption, and then violently spewed out the results.

With a box office of more than 90 million and close to 100 million, after deducting the cost of publicity and theater sharing, etc., there is still a tenfold rate of return, which makes Liu Tianwang feel incredible, and by the way, it also affects his mood in recording "The Voice of Asia", and Liu Tianwang has a smirking expression for many consecutive issues

The Chinese film industry and the China Film Bureau embraced the miracle of director Ning's creation with a certain surprise, each proclaiming its own merits. Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows who is behind Director Ning, and there are also people with red eyes who maliciously hope to see Director Ning's mind sink into the sand after his mind is dizzy. However, Liu Tianwang relied on this to strengthen a certain idea of supporting new directors, although this kind of behavior is burning money most of the time. With Director Ning as the symbol, many young directors and depressed directors seemed to see new hope, so all kinds of letters and scripts drifted to Boss Liu and Boss Shen's companies in Hong Kong like autumn leaves. Of course, there are also experienced employees who send them directly to ATV to deal with such letters, either by filing them or by directly setting them on fire.

However, Director Ning became famous because of this, although many people said sourly that he was plagiarizing Gai. Richie, however, did not prevent his own talent from being expressed in a "copycat" way, inspired by "Crazy Stone". Director Ning confidently raised himself and was ready to shoot his next crazy movie.

Shen Zhenghui couldn't be more concerned about this. But Fukuda Mitsumi has the heart to sign Director Ning, and the leather bag company she funded and established in Hong Kong has taken on such a heavy responsibility, under the guise of Shen Zhenghui, the Hong Kong company began to extend its tentacles into the mainland, and began to test the waters to sign mainland artists, Chen Wei did not escape and signed a contract with this company, and then they signed Director Ning on favorable terms, Fukuda Mitsumi is ready to fund Director Ning's new film, of course. Liu Tianwang tasted the sweetness and was willing to invest in Director Ning, in a short period of time, Director Ning's popularity should not subside, and the popularity of following his works probably will not either.

At the same time, Sony is facing Gordon's report. Kazuo Kawasawa responded to the chairman's inquiry about the report, "To the outside world, this seems to be an adventure on the part of Sony. It was a hot-headed speculative activity after seeing Time Warner hold "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter", but I have to say that the idea was rather superficial. It is the dream of every film company to develop a hot commercial theme, especially this kind of serial theme, but just as Disney was surprised by the popularity of "Pirates of the Caribbean", no company dares to say that the theme it develops will be recognized by the market. Even when filming "Harry Potter", Warner is quite cautious about the selection of actors and directors, which means that every selection is actually a gamble. ”

"Are you shirking responsibility for yourself?"

"Of course not," Kazuo Kawasawa replied, "Kasuga is a film company with a lot of potential, and according to their momentum. Sooner or later they will make their way to Hollywood. The soul who leads the development of Kasuga is not so much Mitsumi Fukuda as the president, but Shen Zhenghui as a shareholder and director, each of his works is like a miracle," he patted Gordon's report, "From Gordon's report, we can also see what kind of person he is, although for the box office, Gordon does not dare to guarantee, but he has made it clear enough that in terms of filming, Shen Zhenghui is no worse than any top Hollywood director, I think he's referring to Spielberg or Cameron, and maybe all Shen Zhenghui needs is time to prove himself. ”

"So that's why you're pushing the plan?"

"No, that's just one reason to push the plan," Kazuo Kawasawa replied, "It seems ideal that the film was shot smoothly and then it became a box office hit, so Sony and Columbia made a profit at the same time, but no one thought that even if the film failed at the box office, Sony would still make a profit." ”

"Oh, let's hear it."

"I've already said that Kasuga is a film company with a lot of potential, and sooner or later it will enter the Hollywood market, and for Sony, she is a potential partner and a potential opponent."

"So if this movie fails, will it hit Kauhi hard?"

"I think it's also very limited, and based on the results of the spring, they have a lot of money to withstand such a blow, but it's still good news, which means that if they want to make up for their losses and make up for their losses on the next movie, they have to continue to make movies that break into the Hollywood market, after all, this is the most lucrative film market."

"It's also the riskiest too."

"Yes, they are not adaptable, and they can't help but choose partners." Kazuo Kawasawa smiled slightly, "Traditionally, they will continue to choose partners who have worked well with before, and other companies will be suspicious of them based on their failures." ”

"They will continue to choose Columbia and Sony."

"Yes, exactly."

"But don't Colombia and Sony suffer from this?"

"The loss will not be great," Kazuo Kawasawa replied, "you know." Shen Zhenghui has a lot of box office appeal in Asia, and even in North America, he has cultivated a group of fans. With this in mind, because it is Sony again that does the distribution, in any case, Sony itself will not lose money, as long as the North American box office reaches a minimum of $200 million. ”

"$200 million?" The chairman touched his chin. "It seems that there is enough to make up for Colombia's losses."

"In fact, the global box office reaches 200 million, and Sony and Columbia together will not lose money." Kazuo Kawasawa replied.

That's why when that girl is hot-headed and wants to keep shooting. Why did you convince us to support her? The chairman asked with interest.

"Yes."

"But have you ever thought about a box office hit?"

"As I said earlier, this situation is equally beneficial to us." Kazuo Kawasawa replied seriously, "As a channel for publicity, we are invincible in this game, and the difference is only to earn a little more or a little less." The loss is just to show that even in the most unfavorable situation, it is good for Sony itself. ”

The chairman pursed his lips, "Okay, I know how to convince the board." He paused, and then said after seeing Kazuo Kawasawa smile confidently. But I think you're underestimating Mitsumi Fukuda. ”

"Really? Please advise. ”

"How do you think the board of directors came up with the cooperation agreement between Guò and Kasuga before you explained it to me? And why sell Colombian stock to them? ”

"Isn't this a strategic alliance from the beginning?" Kazuo Kawasawa was a little dumbfounded, "As the fulcrum of the company in Asia, especially in China. ”

"More than that," the chairman stood up, pacing back and forth in the room. Then Masasei stared at Kazuo Kawasawa, "There are people on the board who strongly support Kasuga itself. ”

Kazuo Kawasawa was slightly surprised, "Maybe it's out of consideration for the company......"

"Yes, it is indeed a consideration for the company," the chairman snorted, "and at first glance it may sound so. But," he pursed his lips, "that gentleman is not just a director of Sony. ”

More than just a director of Sony? Kazuo Kawasawa's mind was racing, he had already thought of the possible person among the members of the board of directors, and then thinking about the identity of this person, he couldn't help but take a breath, "Could it be that said." Does he represent some kind of universal attitude? "I can't hide my surprise," which means they welcome new players? ”

"Hopefully, I misunderstood." The chairman groaned, "But I heard that Kasuga Fukuda Mitsumi has a close relationship with him. ”

"I haven't heard such rumors." Kazuo Kawasawa became nervous.

"Don't panic," the chairman said, "Anyway, even if you take that into account, as you said, whatever the outcome is, it's a good thing for Sony." ”

Kazuo Kawasawa was still a little distracted, "Yes." ”

"But in terms of cooperation, Sony still has to show some kind of business ethics and show that we are a trustworthy partner." The chairman of the board of directors added.

"Of course." Kazuo Kawasawa was a little restless, "I'll explain it again." He stood up, bowed, then turned and walked to the door, wrung it open, and stepped out head-on.

Mr. Chairman sat behind his desk and muttered to himself a little, "I hope Kasuga is not a real opponent of Sony." ”

Shen Zhenghui didn't know these things, after the post-production zuò used up the last cent on the account transferred by Columbia, the funds of the spring began to support the filming of the crew alone, and at the same time, the desert where the sand thieves were hiding, the set of the United Kingdom of Ledeen had already started, and the scene on the island was through the relationship between Wang Anran, and a small uninhabited island was drawn on the sea surface of Wuyue Province to Shen Zhenghui and them, and the requirement of Wuyue Province was that the island that could be used for filming could be developed into a tourism project. In this way, in addition to the Peach Blossom Island full of oriental atmosphere, there is another pirate island full of western pirate atmosphere, which is enough to become a gimmick for tourism. Wu Yue Province can even subsidize half of the construction costs on the island, and of course, Wang Anping is still responsible for the specific construction project.

Now, the only trouble is the kingdom of Montita in the grassland, to build a city in the center of the grassland, it seems that the damage to the environment is too great, the local government is not willing to take this risk, and hopes that Shen Zhenghui will build the royal city of Montita to the outskirts of the city that has been developed.

Fortunately, this is the scene for the final part of the film, and there is still time to bargain with the government. And for Shen Zhenghui, this is also much more meaningful than building a ghost town where no one lives, and he patiently keeps his thoughts. (To be continued.)
