Chapter 119: Menacing

At the same time that the box office of "God of Gamblers" has been soaring, "The True Color of Heroes" and "A Chinese Ghost Story" have also landed in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asian countries, unlike the direct sale of copyrights in the previous life, this time it is to take a box office share with the theater company, originally the theater companies in various countries wanted to buy out the copyright at the beginning, but Gu Chen did not agree, and after some bargaining, the theater companies of various countries finally made concessions and agreed to take the box office share, and this result was completely due to the creative ability of Tang Dynasty films.

Three consecutive films have achieved box office records, giving them every reason to believe that Tang Dynasty films will create more similar films in the future.

Judging from the feedback from various countries, the box office of the two movies is very good, especially after "A Chinese Ghost Story" was released in Japan, which caused quite a sensation, and every audience who walked into the cinema, regardless of gender, was overwhelmed by Nie Xiaoqian played by Wang Guxian.

Less than a week after the movie was released, Wang Ku-yin appeared in major Japanese entertainment media and became the most popular Hong Kong actress in Japan.

As for being released in Europe and the United States, "The True Color of Heroes" may still be able to achieve some box office in some countries because it is a modern theme, but "A Chinese Ghost Story"? It's not that Gu Chen is arrogant, in his memory, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was dismal after landing in Europe, this is not the problem of the film itself, but the cultural difference, in other words, Western audiences don't know what the film is broadcasting.

If the dryad ghost in "A Chinese Ghost Story" is replaced with a ghost vampire, maybe the situation will be very different, at least the audience won't even be unable to understand it. Again, this is an era when Western culture dominates the culture of the world, and it may be easy for Easterners to accept Western culture, but it is far from easy to get Westerners to accept Eastern culture, which will be a long and difficult process.

So Gu Chen didn't have the idea of letting these two movies be released in Europe and the United States at all, he had a schedule and a plan in mind, and now is obviously not the time.

……

ATV's actions are not unpleasant, Gu Chen only entered the board of directors of ATV, and the preparations for "The Voice of Asia" began, in order to fight a beautiful sniper war, ATV almost did its best this time, not only deployed the best production team, but also provided the team with the greatest financial support, such as spending millions of dollars on stage design and construction alone.

The goal is to create the best visual effect for the audience. In addition, in terms of publicity, ATV also spares no effort on this point:

"Are you still envious of him in the spotlight, are you still inferior to your obscurity, we will create an opportunity for you to change your fate, "The Voice of Asia", sing your most beautiful voice, as long as you can persist to the most rear, you will not only get a rich return on wealth, but also get the opportunity to sign a contract with Tang Dynasty Records and have Chen Shao tailor an album for you, what are you waiting for, come and sign up."

This promotional statement began to be announced on "The Voice of Asia", and it was broadcast irregularly on ATV 24 hours a day. At the same time, Hong Kong Radio Limited, Commercial Radio, Oriental Daily, Sing Tao Daily and other major Hong Kong media have appeared in the promotional content of "The Voice of Asia", and also posted huge posters on the street, for a time Hong Kong citizens knew that ATV will soon start a singing contest called "The Voice of Asia", and the creator of this program and TVB is in full swing The creator of "Super Girl" is actually the same person.

This gimmick alone has attracted the attention of many ordinary citizens, and everyone is curious and wants to see which of the two first-person programs is stronger or weaker.

In terms of the most important and most important star mentor candidates, ATV finally signed a star mentor agreement with Zhang Guorong, Tan Yonglin, Anita Mui, and Chen Baiqiang after many negotiations. Although because of the appearance of Gu Chen, Zhang Guorong, Tan Yonglin and Chen Baiqiang are difficult to create the glory of Gu Chen's previous life, and the so-called Tan Zhang hegemony is impossible to talk about, but the influence should not be underestimated, I believe that after the official broadcast, the luxurious star lineup can add a lot of points to "The Voice of Asia".

In fact, except for Chen Baiqiang, the other three of these four people were all brought in by Gu Chen by virtue of their personal relationships, otherwise it would not be so simple for ATV to gather these four together. Especially Anita Mui, TVB invited her to be a judge of "Super Girl", but she politely declined.

Also in order to expand its influence, the contestants who signed up for "The Voice of Asia" are not limited to Hong Kong and Macau, but also Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and even Japan and South Korea. However, unlike the "Super Girl" division, all registered contestants must come to Hong Kong to participate in the audition.

ATV's menacing approach naturally makes TVB very nervous, but in addition to strengthening the publicity of the program, TVB is completely helpless for a program that has already been broadcast, and it is a singing competition program, because you can neither change the rules halfway, nor change the judges halfway.

In addition to "The Voice of Asia", Qiu Degen also accepted Gu Chen's proposal and sent his right-hand man Xu Xiaoming to Taiwan to negotiate with Qiong Yao about buying the adaptation rights of the "Huanzhu Gege" series of novels.

TVB changed Jin Yong's martial arts novels, Jin Yong didn't have so many requirements, so Qiu Degen refused Qiong Yao's obviously too much request without thinking about it, if it weren't for Gu Chen's insistence, and he also believed in Gu Chen's vision, he would have asked Xu Xiaoming to give up negotiations and return to Hong Kong.

In the end, perhaps because she didn't want to give up this good opportunity to enter the Hong Kong market, or for some other reason, Qiong Yao still made a concession and gave up the requirement for her consent to the starring role. It's just that although she gave up this request, ATV was in a dilemma in the selection of the leading role.

According to Qiu Degen's idea, it is naturally most convenient to choose the leading actor among ATV's existing actors, but Gu Chen does not think so, ATV's existing actors are either not well-known enough, or they do not match the image of the leading actor. Because when it was decided to shoot "Huanzhu Gege", Qiu Degen said that Gu Chen was responsible for all matters related to the filming of "Huanzhu Gege", so when Gu Chen objected, Qiu Degen didn't say anything.

In fact, Gu Chen also had a lot of brains in the selection of the leading role.

"According to your requirements, ATV really can't find suitable actors to play the four heroes and heroines of this TV series, if this TV series is placed on wireless, it may be much simpler, and now that the TV series has begun to prepare, where do you go to find someone temporarily. Also, do you really plan to go to the mainland to shoot on the spot? It seems that no one in Taiwan or Hong Kong has tried this kind of thing, will the mainland agree to it? ”

Wang Guxian sat on the side of the ** while putting a silk mesh on his feet, and said lightly, without noticing that there was a pair of lustful eyes behind him looking at her proud beautiful legs, suddenly, a pair of powerful arms hugged her body, and then a hand was placed on her thigh, slowly rubbing back and forth, she twisted her body and said: "Don't make trouble, everyone is starving to death." ”

Gu Chen stroked it for a while before reluctantly withdrawing his hand, and said at the same time: "I have thought about the two heroines, and Er Kang also has a rough candidate, and now there is only five elder brother Yongqi." As for going to the mainland for on-the-spot filming, there should be no problem, Qiu Degen has always maintained a good relationship with the mainland officials, and if he comes forward, the mainland side should provide the aspect, and in my plan, Xiaoyanzi plans to be played by a mainland actor, and Hong Kong will return to China in 10 years, and the mainland side will also be happy to see this kind of thing that can increase cultural exchanges between the two places. Moreover, this is a pure romance costume drama that does not involve any politics. ”

After putting on the stockings, Wang Guxian got up and put it on her skirt, stood in front of the mirror and took a look back and forth, and after confirming that there was no problem, she sat in front of the dresser and started to put on makeup. ”

"Okay, get up immediately, don't you have makeup yet." Gu Chen lifted the quilt and said, "To be honest, you women are really troublesome sometimes, just go out to have a meal, do you need to dress up like this." ”

Wang Guxian, who was putting on makeup, immediately stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Gu Chen, pouted, pulled his face and said, "You're annoying me so soon." ”

When the words came out, Gu Chen realized that he had said the wrong thing, and when he saw this, he quickly raised his hands to make a surrender gesture, and coaxed: "I mean you are already beautiful enough when you don't wear makeup, really, if you dress up so seriously, other women probably don't have to live." ”

Wang Guxian, who originally had an expression that I was about to cry, snorted and laughed, with a beautiful flush on his face, Gu Chen thought that the other party was amused by his words at first, but the next moment he saw his appearance at this time from the mirror behind Wang Zuxian-** body, holding his hands, how funny he looked.

Just when Gu Chen was about to become angry, Wang Guxian suddenly said: "By the way, I thought that a person might be suitable to play the fifth elder brother. ”
