In other words, Gao Fei wanted to keep a low profile for a while, but he didn't expect him to take the initiative to reduce his exposure, but he still passively occupied the headlines of major entertainment sectors.

If nothing else, the box office trend of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is really scary.

Not to mention the box office that won 15 million on the day of its release.

Its box office data of 130 million in the first week broke the box office record of a Chinese film just set by "Looking for the Dragon" not long ago.

Although there are slight flaws in the audience's reputation, many people are busy "counting the stars" and ignoring the plot of the movie.

But at present, both China Film and the media are full of confidence in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", believing that it can definitely surpass the box office of "Looking for the Dragon".

Even Han Sanpin happily shouted the slogan of winning 300 million box office before the National Day as a gift to the motherland.

It can be said that at present, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is the best traffic password in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, all kinds of entertainment media and gossip magazines are trying their best to find news in movies.

It's just that it has been almost half a month since the release of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", and almost everyone has written everything that reporters can think of.

So since the celebration banquet of "Looking for the Dragon", Gao Fei, who has been hidden in the sky, was soon targeted by the paparazzi.

You must know that Gao Fei has hardly been interviewed by the media alone except for participating in a few promotional activities for the film at the beginning.

In this way, it will inevitably become a "topic gold mine" in the eyes of entertainment media.

It's just that what makes them helpless is that this time Gao Fei seems to have changed his personality, he doesn't listen to cross talk, he doesn't accept commercial performances, and he can't come out of the Xiong'an Racecourse.

Although the media's interview invitation rained down, he didn't agree to any of them.

……

September 30, 2009.

One o'clock in the afternoon, Xiong'an Racecourse.

When Han Li hung up the phone, without waiting for her to speak, Gao Fei, who was brushing the wind chasing the bristles, shook his head casually and said:

"Don't say it, don't go, push it!"

Hearing this, Han Li suddenly looked helpless.

She really didn't expect her words to be so powerful.

It's just that when she thinks of Gao Fei's recent rejection of the commercial performance invitation, Han Li's heart is simply dripping blood.

You must know that now is the time when his popularity is high, so his commercial performance offer has almost reached the peak since Gao Fei's debut.

Two million a game - this is the most exaggerated price among the commercial performance offers Han Li received during this time, so exaggerated that Han Li was almost frightened.

You must know that there are many stars in the entertainment industry who are not paid two million now!

It can be said that in the entire entertainment industry, the only one who can fly high for the appearance fee is Jay Chou.

After all, before the release of "Looking for the Dragon", the news that Dong Chou earned 1.7 million yuan in 2 songs made many stars in the circle envious.

And after the heat has passed, Gao Fei's commercial performance offer will inevitably fall to a certain extent, and it is estimated that it will be similar to Jay Chou.

It can be said that Gao Fei and Jay Chou have single-handedly raised the standards of first-line stars in the entire entertainment industry.

You must know that before this, Xiaozhu dared to say that he was a first-line person with an appearance fee of 500,000 yuan, and he also published articles every day to boast that he was an Asian superstar.

Wang Lihong and JJ, who had a venue fee of seven or eight hundred thousand, didn't want to deal with him.

Therefore, there have been a lot of media borrowing from the concept of Hollywood and promoting what is super first-line.

I don't know who sent the press release...... Well, no, maybe it's a group of people who are sending out the press release.

After all, no one wants to be expelled from the ranks of first-line stars. If this kind of thing really happens, if you don't get angry, you have to be said to be out of breath!

And after Gao Fei braided the pigtails chasing the wind, when he saw Han Li's rich man-like expression, he knew that she was worried about money again.

So he immediately shook his head amusefully and said:

"Alright, don't be sorry."

"You don't know how much moisture is in that quote?"

It is said that since he has been away from fans, away from the media, and away from those flattering smiling faces, Goofy's keen discernment ability has finally returned.

At present, he seems to have returned to the state when he first arrived in Hengdian.

Curious about everything...... At the same time, he also maintains a certain awe of the world.

Seeing Gao Fei say this, Han Li didn't harden her mouth.

After working as an agent for so many years, Han Li naturally knows why that real estate company is willing to offer a sky-high appearance fee of two million to invite Gao Fei.

It's nothing more than wanting to brush up on some tricks when paying the bills, and directly use the house to offset the bill.

At that time, as long as Gao Fei accepts the house, it is estimated that it will not be long before the gossip of Gao Fei's stay in a certain community will come out.

】

However, Han Li didn't think there was any problem with this.

After all, the house is also money!

After getting the salary of many celebrities, don't you still spend money to buy houses everywhere for investment.

Instead of being so troublesome, Gao Fei is still troublesome in one step, and others don't want this treatment yet!

However, Han Li also knew that Gao Fei's idea was right, so he no longer persuaded him, and asked from a different angle:

"Boss, how long will this happen...... We can't keep a low profile, can we? ”

Hearing this, Gao Fei immediately frowned slightly, and only after a moment of silence did he say slowly:

"Let's talk about it when "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is offline, don't take over the commercial performance during this time."

"It's true that celebrities want exposure, but if the limelight is too strong, it's too much!"

"Everything must be reversed, and we can't wait until the backlash comes to regret it."

Seeing that Gao Fei had already made up his mind, Han Li could only sigh helplessly in her heart, and then turned around and left.

It's just that Gao Fei had just ridden around on horseback when he saw Han Li go and return again. And when he saw the pile of documents in her hand, Gao Fei couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

Having an agent like a workaholic is really not a wonderful experience for a star.

It can be said that Han Li, a wage earner, is simply heartbroken for Gao Fei, the boss.

Therefore, even if Goofy wanted to be lazy, he was embarrassed to speak again.

Seeing this, Han Li was not polite at all, and after Gao Fei got off the horse, she immediately took out a copy of Wenjie from her hand and handed it to Gao Fei.

"Boss, this is the book handed over by Zhongying."

Hearing this, Gao Fei didn't care, after all, there are many movies produced by China Film in a year, and the focus is still on the content.

So he wiped his hands and took the script casually.

Before he could open the script, he was attracted by the name on the cover.

"Post-80s"? Well, not bad!

The name was quite eye-catching, at least he was already interested in continuing to read it.

Just, ten minutes later......

When he probably finished reading the script, he couldn't help but smash his mouth a few times, and he didn't know what to say.

Well, how to put it.

There is not much of a problem with the content of the story in the script.

After all, the whole movie tells the story of a girl who has lost her relatives and works hard to achieve success in love and career.

The director's ideas and creativity are quite good.

With the experience of the post-80s generation of young people from childhood to adulthood, it reflects the changes of the entire society from the early nineties to the present, which is indeed a good move.

It's just a pity that the screenwriter's historical narrative ability is limited and he can't control such a huge background of the times, so the whole script only stops at the sad love between men and women from beginning to end.

In a word: too petty!

This makes Gao Fei feel a little pity, after all, if a film like this that reflects the young people of the post-80s generation is made well, even if it is an art film, the box office will not be low.

Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Goofy was still reluctant to give up this chicken rib.

"I'm quite interested in the idea of this movie, but the script can't work, I have to change it!"

Speaking of this, Gao Fei seemed to have made a decision, only to see him gently pat the script on the table, look at Han Li seriously and say:

"In this way, you contact the director, if he can accept the change of the script, this book can be continued."

Hearing this, Han Li didn't feel that there was anything wrong, anyway, it wasn't the first time Gao Fei had changed the book.

So there is no nonsense, when even take out the mobile phone and contact the other party.

It's just that after a while, I saw Han Li shaking her head helplessly towards Gao Fei.

"This book was written by the director herself, she was a screenwriter before, and this is her first movie, so it's ......"

Speaking of this, Han Li gave Gao Fei a helpless look.

Don't look at the director of this film, Li Fangfang, is making a movie for the first time, but she graduated from the journalism major of Chinese University and the director department of the graduate school of the New York University Film School in the United States, and she is proud and ruthless in her heart.

Otherwise, he would not have rejected Goofy's request so decisively.

Seeing this, Gao Fei immediately understood the meaning of Han Li's words, and immediately stopped doing useless work, and directly gave up the script without hesitation.

And then Han Li's stack of documents was quickly eliminated by Gao Fei one after another.

But to be honest, although these books were given up by Gao Fei, it doesn't mean that they are bad, after all, the average bad book has no chance to be handed to Gao Fei at all.

It's just that a lot of times it's not a good book.。

For example, the book "Rizhao Chongqing" that was given up by Gao Fei just now is a new film directed by Wang Xiaoshuai.

Although as a director, Wang Xiaoshuai's box office results have always been miserable, but his movies really don't worry about finding actors in the circle.

Don't look at the many directors who make art films in China, but there are actually only a few people who can be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the three major European film festivals.

For ordinary stars, as long as they can take the movie to the three major film festivals for a walk, it is enough for them to send a press release.

For example, Fan Bingbing took over this book at a very low salary because of this reason.

Therefore, "Rizhao Chongqing" is actually a good resource in the film and television industry at the moment.

It's just that Goofy has his own considerations.

You must know that he just finished filming "Ocean Paradise" not long ago, so if he makes another literary film, then he may not have a commercial film released next year.

And this is obviously inconsistent with the development route he has planned for himself.

Goofy doesn't want to be a film artist in the eyes of critics!

Therefore, the high-quality resources in the eyes of others are a little out of place in his eyes.

After all, only what suits you is the best.

It's just that seeing that the documents in his hand are about to bottom out, but Gao Fei hasn't seen anyone who can see it, Han Li can't help but be a little anxious.

Because the book here is already all the invitations that Goofy Studio has received so far.

If Goofy can't look down on any of them, then they can only wait slowly.

And at the stall where Gao Fei refused to perform commercially and turned down the interview, if he didn't give Gao Fei another job, Han Li was worried that he would be completely wild.

But just when Han Li was secretly anxious, her mobile phone suddenly rang, so Han Li immediately stepped aside to pick it up.

A moment later, when she hung up the phone and was about to report to Gao Fei, the phone suddenly rang again, and Han Li had no choice but to connect the phone again.

It's just that this time when she hung up the phone, she couldn't help but show a hint of hesitation on her face.

Seeing this, Gao Fei, who had just emptied the file, stretched lazily and asked casually:

"What, someone hacked me again?"

Seeing him say this, Han Li immediately couldn't cry or laugh.

"Boss, you can't think of something good?"

Hearing this, Gao Fei immediately followed the good road:

"Oh! That...... Huang Xiaoming made another bad movie? ”

Han Li: (⊙o⊙)...

Not to mention, Gao Fei's words were quite reasonable, and Han Li was a little speechless for a while.

However, after coming back to her senses, she still quickly explained the matter to Goofy.

Speaking of the two calls just now, in fact, one is from Sohu Video, and the other is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Satellite TV.

Although the two seem to have nothing to do with each other at all, they asked the same thing, that is, whether Gao Fei really took over the book of "Strange Man Yizhimei".

Originally, Gao Fei's expression was still a little careless, because he didn't attach much importance to the book "Strange Man Yizhimei", and whether he acted or not was between the two. But after Han Li finished speaking, his expression immediately became serious.

I saw that after he pondered for a while, when he frowned slightly, he said:

"No, there's got to be something going on here that we don't know about."

Thinking of this, Gao Fei immediately took out his mobile phone and began to inquire about the news.

……

An hour later.

As the sun was about to set, Goofy on the open-air observation deck finally slowly put down his phone, and his phone was about to run out of battery.

It's just that both Gao Fei and Han Li are sitting in the night with frowns and silently contemplating at the moment.

Because Gao Fei drove it hands-free just now, Han Li finally understood why Sohu and the TV station had called him in unison.

If you want to say that the TV series starring Gao Fei starred in, although it was very popular in the domestic TV drama market in the past, it will never come to this point - just because of a rumor, Sohu Video and TV stations took the initiative to call to confirm!

You must know that no matter how optimistic the TV stations were in the past, most of them would wait for the TV series to finish filming before they would quote after watching the film, where would they be as unreserved as just now.

As the saying goes: when things go wrong, there must be demons.

And after Gao Fei's afternoon of inquiry, he finally dug up some news hidden behind the scenes.

……

It is said that the real reason that prompted Sohu Video and the TV station to make this call is actually the soaring copyright fees of TV dramas.

Speaking of domestic TV drama copyright fees, in fact, it has always been the price of cabbage in the early days.

Because there are pirated copies everywhere, most of the film and television companies can't get much money after selling the first and second rounds of broadcast rights.

For example, in 2006, "Wulin Gaiden" became popular all over the country, but its Internet copyright only sold 100,000.

Note that it is not 100,000 yuan per episode, but a total of 100,000 yuan, which means that it is only sold for 1,250 yuan per episode.

The "Golden Wedding" and "Soldier Assault" in 07 were a little better, and they are said to have sold 3,000 episodes. However, this money is a drop in the bucket compared to the broadcast rights.

As for the DVD copyright, not to mention, no one wants the price of cabbage.

Therefore, in the early days, major TV drama production companies all begged TV stations, because selling dramas to TV stations was their main way to make profits.

But this year, the situation has suddenly changed.

Since the end of 2007, the State Administration and the Ministry of Information Industry jointly issued "Order No. 56", requiring all program content broadcast on video websites to have formal copyrights, copyright prices have gradually risen.

However, because the problem of piracy cannot be changed in a day or two, there is no immediate upheaval.

It wasn't until this year's Sohu's legal department suddenly attacked everywhere that it caused an uproar in the industry.

You must know that among today's video websites, it is necessary to pay more attention to copyright in Sohu Video. Because of this strategy, the early Sohu video held a large number of copyrights. It's just because piracy is rampant in the industry that these things don't play their due role.

Therefore, when he saw the country's statement, Sohu was immediately greatly encouraged, and immediately began to fight the copyright war without hesitation.

Let's put it this way, at present, there are one domestic video websites, and there is almost no one who has not received a lawyer's letter from Sohu.

And Goofy is not exaggerating at all when he says that this is a copyright war.

Because although there are many copyrights in the hands of Sohu Video, others are not without copyrights, but as long as the copyright is bought in their hands, there must be infringement by others.

So when Sohu Video started this start, the major video websites in China almost immediately became a mess, and even dramatically appeared in a series of lawsuits.

And this continuous copyright dispute is also a great spectacle in the Internet industry, where piracy has always been rampant.

It's just that Sohu Video, which thinks it is the big brother of the industry, although it has strengthened the copyright awareness of major video websites and set a standard for the industry.

But the series of chain reactions triggered by this were unexpected by Zhang Chaoyang.

Because at the same time as the video website industry is legalized, major websites are beginning to find that film and television copyright seems to have other roles.

For example, copyright can be used as a tool for staking ground, or copyright can also be used as a weapon to attack opponents.

You can even search for copyrights to raise the barrier to entry for video sites.

Anyway, for various reasons, a scene that made Zhang Chaoyang speechless happened.

Although he chose to start this copyright war, it is no longer up to him when the truce will be.

When it was discovered that the price of the copyright of the TV series had gone from tens of thousands of yuan to buy one episode at the beginning of this year to at least tens of thousands of dollars to buy an episode, Sohu quickly couldn't sit still.

After all, now several video sites are like an arms race, and no one dares to lag behind. Even if there is not much surplus food at home, you must grit your teeth and bid against your family.

Therefore, the senior management of Sohu is keenly aware that the subsequent copyright price may continue to rise.

However, there are still a lot of capable people over there.

After perceiving this trend, they immediately thought of a way to deal with it, that is, to focus on self-made dramas, supplemented by purchased dramas.

But as a result, the budget for Sohu Video to buy the rights is not much.

Therefore, in order to ensure that all the money can be spent on the blade and do big things with small money, the person in charge of purchasing films of Sohu Video has set his sights on Gao Fei.

After all, almost all of the TV series he has starred in in recent years are excellent works, even if not every one of them has become a national hit, but the ratings are very good, the lower limit is very high, and the reputation is also good.

So Sohu Video had the idea of watching people buy dramas.

Of course, they also know that Goofy's dramas are basically not sold.

Therefore, in order to prevent Sohu from falling into a new round of bidding war after the production of the TV series was completed, the purchasing director of Sohu Video decided to take a gamble.

That is to sign a good purchase agreement at the beginning of the filming of the TV series, and at that time, no matter whether the shooting is good or bad, they will admit it.

And this kind of plan is undoubtedly beneficial for TV drama production companies, after all, they greatly reduce the risk, not to mention, but also recover the cost in advance.

It's a lot of money.

You must know that if you can recover the funds in advance, they will be able to shoot more dramas and prepare more projects at the same time.

This will undoubtedly greatly strengthen the competitiveness of the TV series production company.

Of course, there's not just an option for Goofy in their plans.

There are first-line and super-first-line ones, and even the priorities are divided.

The higher the priority, the more attention will be paid to it, such as Gao Fei, who has just come to the door with a little rumor.

After all, no matter how good they think, it's useless, there will still be a project after all.
