Chapter 308: Guiding Light [2-in-1]

In other words, Sohu Company is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, and there are many capable people.

Even to a certain extent, Sohu can be called the "Whampoa Military Academy" in the field of video websites.

You must know that Gu Yongqiang, who was the president and chief operating officer of Sohu at the time, resigned from Sohu to found "Cool" after the failure of Zhang Chaoyang.

Two years later, Li Shanyou, vice president of Sohu, also walked the same path as him.

However, what is interesting is that when Gu Yongqiang founded Cool in 2006, Li Shanyou also founded Cool Six in the same year.

And now three years have passed, and Cool Six has become Sohu Video's biggest competitor in the field of video websites.

I have to say that Zhang Chaoyang's vision in his early years was really good.

But it's a little too good, so good that he can't control it himself.

How you feel about this, I'm afraid only Zhang Chaoyang himself knows.

……

At the same time, Gao Fei's opinion of "Strange Man Yizhimei" suddenly changed greatly.

You must know that he didn't pay much attention to this drama at the beginning, and just used it as a dispensable spare tire.

But when Gao Fei figured out the deep reasons behind these two phone calls, Gao Fei vaguely felt that making TV series in the future might be more profitable than making movies.

This led him to another thought.

After all, Fan Bingbing's studio can make a "Jin Taipan", so why can't he get involved in the field of TV series production?

But then again, Fan Bingbing crossed the river by touching Gao Fei at the beginning, who would have thought that now she has become the object of Gao Fei's reference.

The world is impermanent, nothing more than this!

There's nothing embarrassing about this, just learn from each other and make progress together.

But there is one thing that still makes Goofy a little uneasy.

Because there has long been a habit of watching people buy dramas in the TV drama market, for example, in recent years, as long as there are TV series starring popular stars, most of them will be easier to sell.

It's just not as extreme as it is now.

Therefore, Gao Fei wants to confirm whether the Sohu video family has become impatient, or the entire industry has begun to become eager for quick success.

Thinking like this, in the quiet night, Gao Fei immediately whispered a few words to Han Li.

So soon Han Li began to pick up her mobile phone and inquire about the news through her connections in the circle.

Taking advantage of this gap, Goofy asked the support staff of the racecourse to bring two dinners.

You must know that since they talked about it in the afternoon, they have been busy with their work, and they haven't bothered to eat at all. Seeing them talking with serious expressions, the staff of the racecourse did not dare to come and disturb.

And when Gao Fei quickly wiped out the three dishes and one soup in front of him, Han Li also had results.

I saw that she didn't even glance at the dinner in front of her, so she quickly said:

"I asked, last month, the crew of "Beauty Scheming" invited Chen Kun at a high price, and it was said that it was the suggestion made by the TV station, but Chen Kun still didn't agree in the end."

Hearing this, Gao Fei couldn't help but frown slightly and said curiously:

"High price? How tall? ”

At the same time, Gao Fei couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't expect Chen Kun to be so upright.

However, in the face of Gao Fei's question, Han Li not only did not answer, but shook her head and said with a wry smile:

"It doesn't matter anymore, because no matter how high he is, it's not as high as Zhang Ziyi's price!"

After that, without waiting for Gao Fei to ask, he saw Han Li's complicated eyes and said with emotion:

"I also learned that not long ago, the Beijing Art Center prepared a big drama called "The Legend of Zhen Huan"."

"I heard that at the beginning, the Art Center wanted to invite Zhang Ziyi to play the heroine, because Director Zheng Xiaolong felt that her temperament was very consistent with Zhen Huan, the heroine in the play, so he did not hesitate to offer a salary of 300,000 episodes, but unfortunately it was ......"

After saying that, Han Li shook her head a little speechlessly.

Hearing this, Gao Fei was immediately stunned, and only after a moment did he ask:

"Three hundred thousand? How many episodes are there? ”

“…… 76 episodes! ”

Hearing this, Gao Fei immediately gasped.

Even if the heroine's role may not be in every episode, the salary of nearly 20 million for a single drama has definitely set a record in the field of domestic TV dramas.

Compared with this figure, Gao Fei received a salary of 8 million when he filmed "Xiansan", and he suddenly didn't know where he was dumped.

Although Gao Fei had expected the star's salary to rise, it was the first time he felt this change so intuitively.

In an instant, Gao Fei remembered what Li Lianjie had told him about Sony Pictures.

He suddenly felt that the current video website was a bit similar to the former Sony Pictures, all of them were newcomers who broke into the entertainment industry and were stunned and-stirring sticks.

And if you look at what has happened in Hollywood, I'm afraid that the salaries of the stars in the future will have to rise.

Thinking of this, the light in Gao Fei's eyes suddenly became brighter and brighter, and he finally made a decision in his heart.

But it's getting late, so even if Goofy wants to do something, he'll have to wait for tomorrow.

Thinking like this, Goofy relaxed and fell down on the sofa behind him, and it took a long time to open his eyes lazily.

And Han Li didn't dislike the cold food, so she immediately sat down and ate casually.

After a rare moment of relaxation, looking at the starry sky above his head, and remembering the news that Han Li had just said, Gao Fei suddenly couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"What do you think Zhang Ziyi, why didn't she accept such good conditions?"

"Is it so embarrassing to make a TV series?"

Although there has always been a chain of contempt in the circle, which makes movie actors often look down on their peers who make TV series, it is only for ordinary actors.

For example, although Chen Daoming is very popular in the film industry, he has not filmed many TV series, and no one dares to despise him!

At Zhang Ziyi's level, there should be no such problem.

And whether it's a movie actor or a TV series actor, aren't they all actors, why bother doing this?

However, seeing Gao Fei say this, Han Li suddenly said thoughtfully after pondering for a moment:

"I've heard some gossip...... Maybe it may have something to do with director Zhang Yimou? ”

"Oh? Tell me? ”

Hearing this, Gao Fei suddenly became interested, and immediately sat up curiously and waited to listen to the gossip.

Seeing this situation, Han Li didn't sell it, and immediately frowned slightly:

"I heard that after filming "My Father and Mother" in 98, Director Zhang once told Zhang Ziyi that she would never take over the filming of TV series in the future, because that would ruin her reputation and fame."

Speaking of this, I saw Han Li spread her hands helplessly and said:

"But this kind of gossip has always been difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and only they know the truth."

Hearing this, Gao Fei immediately nodded in understanding.

However, after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but shake his head and said:

"Not to mention Lao Mouzi's words, right, even if what he said makes sense, but that was what he said ten years ago, and now that the times have changed, how can you still look at the problem with the original old eyes?"

Seeing him say this, Han Li immediately nodded in agreement.

She also felt that Lao Mouzi's words were a little too biased,

After all, compared with 98 years, the situation in the domestic film and TV series market has long changed, and as for video websites or anything, there was not even a shadow back then.

In this case, Director Zhang's views really don't have much reference.

Compared with Lao Mouzi, Gao Fei still thinks that Hu Jun's point of view is more reasonable.

When he was filming "Dragon Babu", Gao Fei, who was still a newcomer, consulted Hu Jun because of the scale of his performance.

At that time, Hu Jun said that although dramas, movies, and TV series have different requirements for actors' performance methods due to different carriers, the essence is just performance.

Therefore, as long as you have a good grasp of the characteristics of these three, then as long as the actor's skills are solid, you can basically switch between these three at will.

And Hu Jun's words are not taken for granted.

Because he entered the art after graduating from Chinese opera, and this stay is ten years. During this period, Hu Jun rehearsed a large number of plays.

It wasn't until the drama market finally became more and more sluggish that Hu Jun left Renyi in 2000 and began to contact other film and television dramas.

It can be said that Hu Jun did what he said about switching at will.

……

However, no matter what Hu Jun thinks, there is indeed some invisible chain of contempt in the circle at present, which is indeed a fact.

Therefore, after learning of Zhang Ziyi's choice, although most of the TV drama production companies in the entertainment industry felt a little regretful, they were not too surprised.

It is precisely for this reason that when Cai Yinong received Han Li's call, he did not immediately reject her, but fell into a long silence.

It's just that after pondering for a long time, Cai Yinong thought about it and called Li Guoli over.

After she briefly introduced the situation, Li Guoli couldn't help frowning.

"You mean...... Goofy wants to work with us? ”

"Not bad! In the name of Goofy Studios, he participated in the production of "Strange Man Yizhimei". ”

Speaking of which, Cai Yinong's mood is called a complicated.

In other words, she actually felt that it was unlikely that Gao Fei would take over the show, but she just had the idea of playing two shots with or without dates, so she sent an invitation to Gao Fei.

But Cai Yinong really didn't expect that Gao Fei really agreed.

It's just that this way of agreeing made her a little unexpected.

After all, in today's entertainment industry, there has never been a precedent for actors to participate in TV series dividends.

However, after listening to Cai Yinong's words, although Li Guoli understood her scruples, he had another opinion.

I saw that after he was silent for a while, he nodded slowly and said:

"I thought I could give it a try!"

As soon as these words came out, Cai Yinong suddenly frowned.

Just without waiting for Cai Yinong to open his mouth to question, Li Guoli took the initiative to explain:

"I understand your scruples, but if we look at it from another angle, it's not really a big deal."

"Think about it, what's the difference between his studio and the film and television company now? If you want an artist to have an artist, you want a project to have a project! ”

Speaking of this, Li Guoli immediately sighed with embarrassment:

"With the profit of his studio this year, I am afraid it has surpassed most film and television companies in the circle!"

Seeing Li Guoli say this, Cai Yinong's expression couldn't help but soften a little.

Because according to Li Guoli's statement, the main body of Tang Ren's cooperation this time is not an actor, but another powerful film and television company.

In this way, it is not considered a violation of the rules.

After all, Tang Ren has come over for so many years, and he has cooperated with other companies.

For example, the original "Young Yang Jiajiang" was jointly produced by Tang Ren and Huayi, and the other producer of "The Peerless Double Pride" was Jin Yingma.

Seeing this situation, Li Guoli didn't know that Cai Yinong had also figured it out.

However, the reason why he chose to agree to Goofy's plan was because of another important reason.

Because there are no outsiders in the office, Li Guoli has no secrets, even if his expression is solemn, he gets straight to the point:

"Actually, having him involved is not necessarily a bad thing for us!"

"You also know from the TV station that the success of "Xiansan" this time does have a lot to do with his name."

"Even "Xiansan" can sell so well this time, which has nothing to do with his ratings and reputation."

Hearing this, Cai Yinong finally nodded slightly.

But she also knew that Li Guoli didn't say anything.

That is, after the endorsement of the Sohu video station, Gao Fei's participation can greatly reduce Tang Ren's financial pressure.

You must know that they have opened three TV series projects this year, and there is still a lot of pressure on them in terms of funds.

And if he agrees to Gao Fei, Sohu Video will be able to sign the contract almost immediately, which will undoubtedly reduce Tang Ren's risk.

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and had no doubts.

……

So it didn't take long for Goofy to receive a reply.

Xiong'an Racecourse, on the open-air observation deck.

Gao Fei, who hung up the phone, immediately laughed and threw the phone aside.

Seeing this, Han Li understood that the matter was right, so she couldn't help but smile immediately.

Anyway, she didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

After all, the chips they can get on their side, in addition to Gao Fei's fame and reputation, there is only a pre-order contract for Sohu Video.

In the current situation, TV stations are still the main source of income for TV drama production companies.

Therefore, when Goofy first proposed his idea, Han Li did not have much confidence.

But after the excitement, Goofy didn't get carried away.

I saw him sigh with emotion:

"I really have to thank Zhang Ziyi this time, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known that the market in the circle is changing so quickly!"

Hearing this, Han Li couldn't help but nodded.

In fact, now that I think about it, if Zhang Ziyi is willing to make a TV series, she can completely copy Gao Fei's approach.

In the name of her "international chapter", she will not be able to find a buyer.

And since she entered the film and television industry, she has never made a TV series, so the gimmick is even more sufficient.

It's just a pity that she still can't put down the shelf of movie coffee after all.

Of course, Goofy is just a casual sigh of emotion.

If Zhang Ziyi really had to go down to earth, he might be angry and jump on the spot.

After all, things are vaguely expensive, and it is enough to have a strange person like him in the super line.

The other elders continue to hold it, so don't roll it up again!

Thinking like this, Goofy quickly got busy with the studio's first TV series.

Not to mention anything else, at least he must send someone for finance.

He didn't want to shoot a TV series, and before he made any money, the director would buy a villa first......
