The so-called TV movie is a movie with a small investment and a short production cycle, which is suitable for the audience to watch on TV.

TV movies first originated in the United States in the 50s, and in the 50s, because of the Paramount case and the popularity of American television, movies entered a period of decline, and film companies gave birth to low-cost TV movies in order to survive.

In fact, this situation is very similar to China, why was "Shaolin Temple" able to create a box office myth back then, what a dime a movie ticket, the box office created a hundred million or something. To put it bluntly, in the early 80s, television was not yet popular, and ordinary people could only go to the cinema if they wanted to watch it.

Later, with the popularization of television, especially in the mid-to-late 90s, the cumulative factors of video recorders, DVD players, and various piracy made the film market depressed.

It was also in this situation that the movie channel broadcast the first TV movie during the Spring Festival in 99, which also kicked off the development of TV movies in China.

The movie channel has a heel, don't look at the CCTV6 logo, but it is directly under the Ministry of Truth, and in a sense, it can be on an equal footing with CCTV.

It is precisely because of this that in just two or three years, TV and film have developed rapidly in China, not only independently established a TV and film "Lily Award", but also set up TV and movie awards in important awards such as Huabiao Award and Golden Rooster Award.

In addition, with the popularization of digital technology, there is no need to use film anymore, and today's TV movies have lower costs and lower thresholds, but they do feed a large number of filmmakers.

It is necessary to mention the Paramount case here, in the golden age of cinema in the thirties and forties of the last century in the United States, Paramount Company was absolutely a behemoth, they not only had their own theaters, they hired screenwriters, directors, and actors to shoot movies, and then distributed them themselves, screened them in their own cinemas, and made profits by artificially creating a market situation where supply exceeded demand.

To put it simply, in addition to producing films, film companies also have their own cinema chains, and through the establishment of a brokerage department to control screenwriters, directors, actors and other film practitioners, they have a vertical monopoly on a series of links such as production, distribution, and release.

In 1948, the U.S. government sued Paramount, and the court ruled that its vertical monopoly was illegal under antitrust laws and required the film production company to abandon the film distribution and exhibition business.

The immediate effect of this judgment was that more and more independent producers and studios were free to make their own films without the influence of large corporations, and it also announced the end of the big studio system and the golden age of Hollywood in old Hollywood.

Of course, on the surface, Lao Mei has broken the situation of a dominant family, that is, money can't make your family earn it all, and it has to benefit more people. But in essence, it is to strengthen the bourgeoisie as a whole in order to continue to squeeze the people at the bottom.

Later, the film system established after the founding of our country was actually a study of the old United States. For example, the studio can have an actor troupe, but the film produced has nothing to do with you, it is handed over to the state for unified purchase and sales, and there is a special distribution department for distribution, and finally it is screened in urban cinemas and rural fields.

Of course, the studios and distribution companies in our country at that time, including movie theaters, were all public, which is fundamentally different from Lao Mei.

"It's pretty good to have a script, the theme is old and new, it's a pity not to make a movie."

Li Tang roughly flipped through the script, which is about an idle young man named Sanduo who, after a detailed market research, found that it was profitable for children, so he decided to devote himself to the cause of preschool education.

It happened that there was a lack of a kindergarten in his place, and with the help of Aunt Wu of the neighborhood committee, Sanduo's kindergarten soon became apparent.

At this time, Sanduo found that finding a teacher had become a big problem for him. By deceiving him, he finally said that the frustrated IT person Yi Yang and the laid-off cadre Niu Zhijian, two big men, started a business with him.

After some preparations, the kindergarten finally opened. But they never expected that the children who came to their kindergarten were all problem children that other kindergartens were unwilling to accept, so the three big men began to fight with these children......

Of course, the final ending is the typical happy ending of Hollywood, in which the three big men finally learn how to get along with the children, and find the long-lost concern of the city people from the children.

The theme of the kindergarten is very novel, and the key is not to blindly preach. A street slicker, an IT youth representing the modern era, and a laid-off cadre representing the past, three completely different types of characters are gathered together, so various dramatic conflicts erupt, full of a kind of black humor that is different from the popular comedy of Feng Xiaogang and Wang Shuo, if not a linear narrative, but quite consistent with the temperament of Quentin's films.

"I just took it because this book is good." Xu Guangtou knocked on Erlang's leg and said.

Otherwise, this TV series or TV movie, which only has two episodes, will only pay tens of thousands of yuan after the end, and he will definitely be unwilling to accept it with his current coffee position, and it will be easy to drop the coffee if it is not up to grade.

But Xu bald head is a chicken thief, as the saying goes: gongs and drums listen to the sound, obey the words and listen to the sound. When he saw the look of regret on Li Tang's face, his heart suddenly moved, and he immediately put down Erlang's legs, sat up straight, and sighed leisurely: "It's not that there are no banknotes!" ”

He heard that the budget of this play is a total of 200,000 yuan, and the screenwriter and director are the same person, and in order to save costs, he also pulled out his wife and girlfriend.

Li Tang looked at the front and back covers, but he didn't see the signature, and couldn't help but say: "Who is the screenwriter and director?" ”

Xu Guangtou hurriedly said: "The director and screenwriter are all one person, named Wu Bin, an associate professor of Nortel. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Taohong, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Well, it's the introduction of Yibang at the beginning!" ”

Xiao Taohong explained with a smile: "This Director Wu is the son of Renyi Wu Guilin and Teacher Lu Zhong, and Director Wu himself is an associate professor of production in the Nortel Management Department. ”

"Oh, it's him!"

Li Tang was originally very familiar with the name Wu Bin, but after listening to Xiao Taohong's explanation, he finally got the right number. This person's situation is similar to Lou Ye, and he is also a second-generation actor.

Wu Guilin and Lu Zhong are both senior actors in Beijing Renyi, and have been active on the drama stage for a long time. Wu Guilin may be best known for playing the role of Zhenyuan Daxian in "Journey to the West", and Mr. Lu Zhong is the one who played the Empress Dowager Cixi in last year's highly talked about TV series "Towards the Republic".

However, he was a little puzzled: "This Director Wu shouldn't be short of investment, right?" ”

In addition to the identity of the second generation, this director Wu is not the first director, he has already had a film called "Bitter Tea" before, and he is about to win the New Director Award at the 8th Huabiao Awards.

Don't ask him how he knows, that's because as the winner of the 5th Huabiao Film Newcomer Award, he was invited to attend the 8th Huabiao Awards ceremony held on September 13 as a guest of honor. It was for this reason that he was informed of the list of winners in advance.

Originally, he was mainly concerned about the actor newcomer award he was responsible for, and the winner was the actor who played the role of his eldest son Shi Lin in "The Years of Burning Passion" starring Sun Haiying and Lu Liping.

One more thing, this product also auditioned for the role of Ling Hu Chong in "Smiling Proud", although the audition failed, it still left a deep impression on Zhang Dabeard, and with the blessing of the child star halo, he starred in the role of Shilin in "The Years of Burning Passion".

This can be regarded as an unintentional insertion, "Smiling Proud", which invested more than 30 million yuan, was scolded when it was broadcast, but only "The Years of Burning Passion", which invested only 7 million, not only detonated the ratings but also received rave reviews.

Among them, the biggest beneficiaries are, of course, Sun Haiying and Lu Liping, who not only increased their popularity, but also achieved positive results in their relationship.

At the same time, he played Shi Lin, Shi Jing and other young actors, and he became famous.

Especially the actor of Shi Jing, who is tall, has a good figure, white skin, and a beautiful appearance, which can be said to be on Li Tang's aesthetic point everywhere.

Of course, Wang Haibo, who plays the stone forest, although he is short and ugly, his acting skills are really good.

For this reason, when this TV series was on the air, Li Tang also joked with the producer Zhang Dabeard that there was a problem with the casting of Shi Lin and Shi Jing, one tall and one short, one white and one black, one good-looking and one ugly, if it was born to a mother, then Shi Guangrong played by Sun Haiying was designated as a cuckold.

It's a bit far, as long as Li Tang still misses Shi Jing, she is really a good girl!

At this moment, Xu Guangtou immediately jumped up and said, "Lacking, it's hard not to be missing!" A scraper (in total) is twenty thousand bills. Ina and her girlfriend all pulled out. The old lady Teacher Lu Zhong plays Aunt Wu, and his girlfriend He Ling plays the heroine Lu Shan. ”

This product is playing Xiao Jiujiu at this time, if it can be said that Li Tang invests, then in his eyes, the low-grade TV movie will be upgraded to a movie, and this is the first time he has played the male lead in a movie. Not only has the grade gone up, but as a matchmaker, the voice of his crew will definitely rise.

In fact, he has never been satisfied with simply being an actor, especially after directing and acting in "Li Wei as an Official 2" as a director this time, his ambition to become a director has been expanding. Especially for this kind of comedy-themed script, he has a lot of ideas himself, and he can discuss it with the director, and maybe he can let the director follow his own ideas.

Of course, the premise is that he has the right to speak, and if Li Tang can invest, he believes that he can control this right to speak.

Xiao Taohong was a little surprised and said: "Hey, Li Tang, do you know Director Wu Bin?" ”

"I don't know, but I know that he has been shortlisted for the Huabiao Award this time."

Xiao Taohong suddenly clapped her hands and said: "Yes, the "Bitter Tea Fragrance" he filmed last year was shortlisted for the Huabiao Award Director Newcomer Award, and it seems that the award is about to be awarded." ”

"Yes, next week, on the thirteenth. I've been invited, and I'll be there when the time comes. Li Tang said with a smile.

The shortlist of the Huabiao Award was announced as early as a month ago, and without Li Tang's nomination, there was only one reason for being invited, and that was to attend as a guest.

When Xu Guangtou heard this, he inevitably said a little sourly: "Brother, it's okay, it's all rolled into the seed circle." ”

The Huabiao Award is a government award, and Li Tang can be invited to attend as a guest, which can be said to be officially recognized and accepted by the mainstream film industry, and the distance between the two seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Xu Guangtou is actually a person who is very good at disguise, probably only in front of Li Tang, who knows the roots, will be undisguised, and at this time he has more reason to speak, so he said: "Brother, whatever you want, you have to pull Brother A's ......."

The first more, there is. Cheekily ask for the last double commuter pass!
