Chapter 256: So Fast!
The meeting with the fans lasted an hour before it ended, and Stephen Zhao and Qian Minli then rushed to the airport and flew to Gaul.
For fans, it is really a happy thing for idols to come out and meet them up close, although the time is short; However, for artists in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry who want to get acquainted with Stephen Zhao, Stephen Zhao's hurried departure is really a regrettable.
The geographical location of Xiangjiang is not excellent, it can even be said to be very poor, and the reason why it has the status of today's international financial metropolis and enjoys a great reputation in the world is mainly due to its special historical background. After the establishment of New China, Xiangjiang began to take off from a very backward colony, and in the 70s of the last century, the entertainment industry began to enter a prosperous stage, and entered a golden age in the 80s and 90s, once competing with the American imperialist Hollywood, which owned the entire North American market.
The thriving entertainment industry has become one of the pillar industries of Hong Kong, and a large number of high-quality artists have been born as a result. So much so that now, although the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang has long declined, Xiangjiang artists still occupy half of the entire Chinese entertainment industry, and are even at the top in the commercialization field.
In the field of art, it is natural that artists from the mainland of China occupy the top.
This situation is now gradually changing.
With the gradual death of the older generation of artists, or the withdrawal from the entertainment industry, the current and future Chinese entertainment circles only look at the mainland, and Mazu Island has to stand aside.
The lack of green and yellow is the main problem of Mazu Island and the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.
Even if it is connected, it is useless, under the general trend, it will have to return to the mainland, and it can only gradually become a city in the future.
Therefore, for a person like Stephen Zhao who has great influence in the mainland entertainment industry, many people in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry want to get to know him.
For example, Qian Qiang, the boss of the "Huaxia Star" film company, and Chen Qiang, the new boss of TB TV.
Both bosses have strong characters in their names. All of them have a huge influence in Xiangjiang, and they can even be said to be successful in their respective fields.
"Stephen Zhao is gone? When was this? In the villa, Qian Qiang heard his subordinates report Zhao Xingchi's whereabouts and said that Zhao Xingchi had gone to the airport, and he was immediately stunned.
"The plane at eleven o'clock in the evening went to Gaul. In addition, I went to the hotel where Mr. Zhao was staying. He had originally booked a two-day stay, but he was very unhappy about yesterday's events, so he ......" explained in detail to his subordinate.
"These bastards!" Qian Qiang scolded hatefully, and then waved his hand to signal that he could go down.
After his subordinates left, his wife Fang Yi, who was sitting next to him, asked, "What are you looking for Zhao Xingchi?" Do you collaborate on a movie? But he has always made the kind of martial arts movies that don't sell well! ”
Qian Qiang took a sip of tea and said lightly: "That's not the key, the key is that he is the boss of Red Star Media." I have news that the first round of broadcast rights of the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" have exceeded 300 million! Besides, he can't make martial arts movies for the rest of his life. Didn't you do a magic movie with the Rey brothers last time? ”
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I don't have a chance this time, next time I will go directly to his company." ”
Qian Qiang nodded.
Huaxia Star is a wonderful flower in the local film company in Xiangjiang, because the name "Huaxia Star" is lofty, but in fact, Qian Qiang, the founder, is a complete gang leader; In addition, so many film companies in Xiangjiang closed down in the mid-to-late nineties, and only a few remained, including Huaxia Star. It's not that Huaxia Star is strong, but that Huaxia Star is rich and strong. Everyone in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry wants to give him face.
But now, the useful people who will give him face are gradually getting old or deceased, and the rest are incompetent, and Qian Qiang has to follow the flow north to pan for gold.
It's just that he went north a little late, and because of his identity. So there has been no development in the mainland. It is also for this reason that Qian Qiang is willing to make friends with any influential figure in the mainland entertainment industry.
……
The chairman's office of TB TV is a different scene at the moment.
Chen Qiang, who has just taken over TB TV for less than a year, has long since lost the vigor he had when he first took over. With gray hair and a tired look, he looked ten years older than his actual age, as if he had changed from a middle-aged man in his early fifties to an old man in his sixties.
"Haven't you been in touch yet?" Chen Qiang rubbed his eyes and asked the female secretary standing in front of him.
The female secretary was about to answer, but Chen Yunshan, the assistant general manager, broke in from the outside and said quickly: "Zhao Xingchi has already gone to the airport and took the plane to Gaul at eleven o'clock." ”
Chen Qiang sighed and said, "Forget it, you can personally go to the magic capital Red Star Media Company, and strive to negotiate the broadcast rights of the two TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu". ”
Chen Yunshan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Chairman, is it really appropriate to arrange for the mainland's outsourced dramas to be on prime time?" ”
Chen Qiang glanced up at him and sneered, "What's wrong?" Will the audience have an opinion or will someone from the company have an opinion? The audience will not have an opinion on a good TV series, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is a hit in the mainland, and it makes no sense that it will not work in our Xiangjiang; As for the company's people, will they have opinions? It's simple, as long as they can increase the current ratings, I will give up buying these two dramas! ”
Chen Yunshan suddenly stopped talking.
In the general environment, even though TB TV was the overlord of the Xiangjiang TV field in the past and one of the giants of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry, it is inevitable that the situation is worrying and the prospects are bleak.
One of the most obvious places is the ratings, in the past, the ratings in Xiangjiang were generally at forty o'clock, and it is not uncommon to rush to fifty or sixty when it is good; But in the past few years, the ratings of forty points have been popular, and they are generally only at the level of twenty or thirty.
To know that TB is the No. 1 TV station in Xiangjiang, and its viewership share has always accounted for 60% of the overall ratings!
Why? Some people will say that it is the factor of the Internet, but in the final analysis, it is a matter of the production of TV dramas and TV programs. If the production is good, the audience will naturally buy it.
It's not well made, and it's useless to let you talk about it.
So seeing that the ratings continued to decline, Chen Qiang finally couldn't sit still and decided to use purchased dramas to get on the prime time. Let's talk about raising the ratings first, otherwise the company's stock price will fall because of it.
"That's it." Chen Qiang said after the most reluctance.
……
Zhao Xingchi, who got on the plane, didn't know the story behind these things, he and Qian Minli wore a pair of wide sunglasses and sat in the ordinary cabin, and the two bodyguards surrounded the two of them, one left and one right, protecting the two of them in the middle.
"Now it can be said that why do you want to write the true biography of Ah Q, right? I don't believe you just watched yesterday's events on the fly. Qian Minli asked with a smile and interest while helping him open the netbook.
"This ...... How to say it. You can see this article as a little reflection on human nature. Stephen Zhao thought about it, and then cheekily said such a reason, and at the same time began to tap on the keyboard, typing a few italicized words on the netbook, "Chapter 2 Winning Notes".
"Really?" Qian Minli chuckled, obviously not believing his words.
Zhao Xingchi coughed, nodded very seriously and replied: "At least most of it is true!" ”
At this point, he was not lying.
Although he has been very young in both lives, his thinking is far from mature, but occasionally he touches the scene and is in love. He really thinks about human nature, for example, why he lives so tired, why some people are so hateful, why some people are ......so thick-skinned, and he feels quite naïve, and he thinks it is ridiculous when he thinks about it afterwards, but I have to admit that it is these thoughts that make his understanding of society gradually deepen and make his thinking more and more mature.
His writing skills were far from enough to express these thoughts, so after yesterday's scene stimulated him. He thought of borrowing the knowledge of the sages to express it.
"The True Story of Ah Q" is a novel that can express his thoughts very well and profoundly!
Qian Minli was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her expression became depressed. He whispered without a beginning or an end: "I find that the distance between us is really far away. ”
Stephen Zhao was coding words, and didn't hear what she said, so he subconsciously asked, "What?" ”
Qian Minli immediately smiled and said, "It's nothing, you write your article, I'll rest first." ”
Hearing this, Stephen Zhao immediately realized. He seemed to ignore Qian Minli's feelings again, and couldn't help but think of it with annoyance: "Zhao Xingchi, Zhao Xingchi, you are really a wooden head, obviously you are in the world of two people, and you also carry a computer with you." It's okay to have a computer with you. actually writes articles vigorously, what an elm head! ”
He immediately saved the document, turned off the computer, then stretched out his hands, hugged her into his arms amid Qian Minli's exclamation, and said with a wicked smile: "It's not too late to write the article tomorrow night, how about letting me sing you a lullaby now?" ”
"You treat me like a three-year-old?" Qian Minli glared at him with disgust, but a sweet smile appeared on her face.
"What then? Sing you a love song? Stephen Zhao asked with a smile.
"In public, you're not ashamed?" Although Qian Minli was very moved, she still gave him a blank look, rejected his proposal, and said instead: "Tell me a joke, I haven't heard your jokes yet." ”
"Jokes? This ......" Zhao Xingchi hesitated for a moment, and then nodded and said: "Okay, I'll tell you a few jokes, pay attention: the turtle saw a snail crawling very slowly, so he said to him, you come up, I'll carry you, and the snail goes up; After a while, the tortoise saw another ant, and said to him, "Come up too, and the ant climbs up." After climbing up, the ant saw the snail and said hello to him, but do you know what the snail said? ”
"What did you say?" Qian Minli asked curiously.
"The snail said you hurry up, this turtle crawls so fast!" Stephen Zhao replied seriously.
Qian Minli was stunned at first, and then laughed.
“shit! Chinesereallydidn’tquality! A ghost guy sitting in the front row suddenly became angry and scolded in English. (To be continued......)
