Chapter 144: Clearing the Obstacles (Asking for a Subscription!Asking for a Monthly Pass!)
Just when "Chu Liuxiang" was so popular, Cheng Long's new film "Drunken Fist" also began to be quietly released. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is said that it was released quietly, but it is not very accurate.
Film and television are two different industries, and they also have different demand standards, so there will not be much overlap.
Of course, that's not to say that there are no effects.
At least now, when "Chu Liuxiang" is popular all over Asia, and there are dramas such as "Wulin Gaiden" and "Bao Qingtian" played together, many people like to stay at home and watch TV at night, and there is less demand for watching movies.
For example, "Ghost Fights Ghost", in the second week of its release, "Chu Liuxiang" was born, coupled with the withdrawal of the rest of the theaters, the box office was only more than 1.4 million, a drop of nearly half!
The box office in the third week was even worse, falling by more than half directly, only 710,000.
In fact, the box office has reached 4.82 million in three weeks, which is already ranked third at this year's box office, but Jiahe discussed it and decided to give "Ghost Fight" a canvas for 8 movie theaters, so that it can continue to be released for the fourth week, so as to break through the psychological threshold of 5 million.
The first week of Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist" happened to meet the fourth week of "Ghost Fighting".
Wu Siyuan's Siyuan Film Company can only be a small film company, and it is not ranked in the top ten in Xiangjiang.
It's just that he has a good relationship with Golden Harvest and has good connections with many movie theater owners, so he won 15 movie theaters for Cheng Long, and the number of seats exceeded 33,000.
There was a rumor on the Internet in later generations, saying that it was Liu Tianci - yes, it was Liu Tianci of Jiashi now, and later said to Wu Siyuan, when you and Cheng Long were filming "Serpentine Trickster", He Guanchang asked us to rent all the martial arts sets in Xiangjiang, which means that he wants to make you unable to film, and then he can rob Cheng Long.
This kind of circulation is obviously untenable.
The first one, Liu Tianci is the director of the screenwriting department at TVB, and he has the same position at Jiashi, which belongs to the senior management of the TV station.
Even if Jiashi went out of business, they didn't go to your house, but returned to wireless, and still served as his screenwriter director, how could you, the general manager of Golden Harvest, order Liu Tianci?
Second, before Cheng Long filmed "Serpentine Trickster", although he also filmed a few films, he was basically not famous, he was simply worthless, and even he gave up, if Chen Zhiqiang hadn't chased him back from Australia, what people see today is a chef with a big nose, not the up-and-coming Cheng Long.
When did He Guanchang become so interested in Cheng Long, for a person who is only a little famous, he actually spent tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, rented the set and didn't want them to film, and then forced Cheng Long to come to Golden Harvest?
If He Guanchang really has such a good vision, Zhou Xingchi, Zhou Yanfa, and Li Lianjie ...... Wait for the superstar, where can he escape from the palm of his hand?
So this is a rumor at all.
He Guanchang was interested in Cheng Long, just after "Serpentine Trickster", and He Guanchang was not in a hurry, he waited until he watched Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist", and only after he completely established his own style did he use 1 million to dig him.
Cheng Long will be completely valued by Golden Harvest after directing and acting in "Laughing Boxing Monsters", the box office champion in February next year, so that after the 2.7 million check was returned, he took a 4.7 million check to rob people.
And He Guanchang has always been generous in doing things, otherwise Cheng Long and so many stars would not be willing to do things for him - Cheng Long quit Jiahe, that is, after Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others faded out of Jiahe, before that, Cheng Long never said to leave.
Therefore, this time Wu Siyuan fought for a movie theater for Cheng Long, He Guanchang personally made a decision, and asked Cai Yongchang to give him 7 large movie theaters to play, and the 7 movie theaters of "Ghost Fighting Ghosts" are all small and medium-sized.
Yin Jun personally went to see Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist" with Guan Zhilin.
Although the attendance rate on the first day was not high, and the first show of the cinema they went to was only 6% of the attendance, everyone who watched the movie was laughing and applauding, and the atmosphere in the cinema was enthusiastic.
When Yin Jun and Guan Zhilin came out, the attendance rate of the second game was obviously higher.
Cheng Long's "Drunken Fist", in fact, if you watch it after 40 years, in addition to the scene being a little awkward, in terms of plot design, fight design, etc., it can still make people watch with relish, which proves that a good movie will never go out of style.
Although in the previous life, "Drunken Fist" only further laid the foundation for Cheng Long, "Fist Essence" in November is also a continuation of advantages, and next year's "Laughing Fist Monster Move" is the official work that will make Cheng Long go to the peak, but it is estimated that there is a reminder from Yin Jun that after "Drunken Fist" is popular, Golden Harvest will definitely start in advance.
This time, the check handed over by Golden Harvest will no longer be 1 million, and it will definitely not be less than 3 million!
In addition to Cai Luowei's definitely reluctance to let Cheng Long leave, the Shaw Brothers definitely don't want to see Jiahe grow like a tiger, and there will really be some open and secret battles at that time.
Not to mention this big drama that will continue to dispute in the next year, what Yin Jun cares about most now is the loosening of Jiashi's application for a 2-hour educational program.
Since the beginning of September, Yin Jun has discussed with Liu Tianci about this educational program, and Jiashi is also actively seeking change, so Liang Shuyi has promoted all his strength to do this.
To put it bluntly, Jiashi used to have connections, and now it has a large amount of money in its hands, and the offensive of the Broadcasting Authority is becoming more and more fierce.
In addition, a group of shareholders in the newspaper industry are touted in the newspapers, plus the expectation of the three-legged stand of Heung Kong TV, which is also something that the government departments of Hong Kong need to consider.
Some time ago, when Li's was relatively weak and Jiashi was about to go bankrupt, many government departments, including the Broadcasting Authority, were a little uneasy about the dominance of wireless.
If there is only one television station in a region that can make a sound, it is not a good thing for the government and the people.
When Yin Jun rescued Jiashi with "Bao Qingtian" and "Wulin Gaiden", and gave Li's "Chu Liuxiang", a super drama, the Xiangjiang TV industry suddenly had a bit of a hundred flowers blooming, which seemed very lively and energetic.
Under such circumstances, Governor MacLehose, who has always been very enlightened, after hearing the feedback of many people, told the head of the Information Agency, and then the Broadcasting Bureau opened an opening, asking Jiashi to make a few episodes of the upcoming program and show it to them, if it can be related to the educational program, then it is basically no problem.
It has been almost a month since the beginning of the effort and now it has been approved.
Jiashi has spent countless hard work, and finally has a very good start.
Now it's up to Yin Jun.
A variety show needs to have a core character, such as Hua Shao in "The Voice of China", such as Brother Fei in "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", such as Teacher He in "Happy Camp", and so on.
Sometimes, you can't tell whether the show made the host or the host made the show.
But one thing is certain, a good host and a good program must complement each other, and neither link can be missing.
The most important thing for Yin Jun to do "Millionaire" is the host.
In addition to skilled communication skills, this host must also have a strong aura, be able to control the atmosphere of the scene, be able to drive the ups and downs of the show, and even figure out the thoughts of the audience outside the venue.
Such a host is naturally difficult to find all over the world, and anyone who has it can become a famous actor.
Fortunately, Yin Jun already had a suitable candidate in his heart.
Now Xiangjiang has such an excellent host.
Her name is Yu Zheng.
This started to join commercial radio after graduating from middle school, and a few years ago, he was sent by He Zuozhi to Jiashi to assist Liang Shuyi in charge of Jiashi.
She is now mainly in charge of Jiashi's news channel, and on the news channel, Jiashi's fate is still the same as that of TV series, under Wireless and Li, it only has about 10% of the ratings.
This is not Yu Zheng's sin alone, but the matter of doing news has always relied on years of accumulation.
For example, wireless, although the news is very strong, but Li's news channel is many years earlier than wireless, and their heritage is more profound, plus Li Zhaoxiong of "Li's three heroes" is carefully built, and now wireless and Li's are just **** open, just a little stronger than Li's.
Jiashi's news channel is not influential enough, but Yu Zheng's ability is strong enough.
She is not only decisive and simple, but also strives for perfection in everything she does, has outstanding wisdom and ability, is very agile in thinking, and outstanding in interpersonal relationships, and can be called a heroine among women.
Now Yu Zheng, although only 24 years old, has long been a well-known talented woman in the TV and radio industry, and Wireless has been chasing her for the past two years, wanting her to go to the second-in-command of the news department of Wireless, and promising to make her the first-in-command within three years, but Yu Zheng did not agree at all.
For her, her first job in her debut was in commercial radio, He Zuozhi treated her like a daughter, Yu Zheng also regarded him as her uncle, she didn't live for money, how could she betray her relatives for money and go wireless?
Such a character, to be honest, is really a bit wasteful to use to make a show.
But Yin Jun really couldn't find a more suitable person than her.
Among the several talented girls in Xiangjiang, Lin Yanni and Yishu are both people who can write but not speak, but Zhang Ailing is old and will definitely not come back from the United States to host a show.
Liang Fengyi is still studying in the United States and will not come back until next year, and Bai Yunqin, like her, will not graduate from San Francisco State University until next year.
Dina's age is appropriate, but now that she has gone to the mainland, her ambition is not to be a television broadcasting career, but to be busy with China's aerospace industry, and it seems that she has recently gone to the United States to work hard for the normalization of Sino-US relations.
Zhang Xiaoxian, who is 67 years old, is only 11 years old this year, and she can't write completely.
Another talented woman, Shi Lansheng, has not been honed at this time, and she is also overwhelmed.
So after choosing, Yin Jun can only let Yu Zheng host "Millionaire", which is a bit overkill, but there is no way.
It's just that on Yu Zheng's side, there are some communication problems.
Yin Jun invited Xiao Sheng to persuade Yu Zheng and asked her to help make a show, but even though Xiao Sheng was Yu Zheng's predecessor and a good friend, he still didn't say anything about her.
It's not a matter of money, nor is it a matter of how embarrassed she deigned to host the show, anyway, Yu Zheng just didn't want to, so she politely declined.
In the end, Yu Zheng only agreed to Xiao Sheng and talked to Yin Jun about the show.
When they met, Yin Jun saw Yu Zheng in a straight suit and looked like a handsome man.
The young man knew that Yu Zheng liked women, so from the beginning of his speech, he didn't treat her as a woman.
"Miss Yu. Sitting down at the café booth, Yin Jun said straight to the point: "I heard that you have doubts about such a show?"
Yin Jun is very sincere, Xiao Sheng directly took the most detailed plan to Yu Zheng, including the main process of the first ten episodes of the program, so that Yu Zheng can have the deepest understanding of "Millionaire".
Yu Zheng was not polite, nodded and said: "It's not that I don't like "Millionaire", in fact, it is very interesting, and the reward of 1 million is very attractive to any ordinary person." It's just that for me, the show wasn't challenging. You can find a random female host, and you can handle it with a few more episodes. Even if you find a vase with a beautiful body and a good body, you may get more attention and higher ratings. ”
"I don't think so. Yin Jun said, "Of course, according to what Miss Yu said, "Millionaire" will definitely attract a lot of people to see if she finds a beautiful female host, shows off her beautiful face and figure, and shows off her beautiful clothes." But my first purpose is not for the ratings, but to make this show a world-class variety show. And if you want to be famous in the world, you can't just rely on beautiful women to dance and show off, but you need to really focus on the show itself. A knowledgeable and intelligent presenter is all I need. ”
""Millionaire is famous all over the world?" Yu Zheng was surprised, and then she suddenly realized, "No wonder you made this show yourself! No wonder you want to keep the copyright of other cities! You really have a far-reaching strategy!"
"Yes, if you want to achieve my goal, only Miss Yu will do it. Yin Jun said sincerely, "I want everyone to know that a really good show is not based on any gimmick, but on the charm of the show itself, which can make many people like it." Although "Millionaire" is a gimmick with a prize of 1 million, if you really want to do the show well, make people like it, and then drive them to learn knowledge and improve themselves, this requires a very good host. Apart from Miss Yu, I can't find a second person in Xiangjiang who can meet my requirements. ”
Yu Zheng originally thought that Yin Jun would use money and reputation to convince herself, and she was ready to refuse, but now that Yin Jun said such a thing, she was quite moved.
Yin Jun is not a person who likes to lie and deceive people and will do whatever it takes for the sake of the end, even if Yu Zheng does not know Yin Jun, he has heard it from many people.
Yu Zheng still admires Yin Jun's character and grateful heart, no matter how much her personality resembles a man, but she still has the soft heart that a woman should have.
This is also the reason why she decided to refuse, but still came to meet Yin Jun.
Therefore, she knew that Yin Jun would not lie to himself to do this show, in fact, the show was completely different from what he promised, what this teenager said was what he wanted to do.
Yu Zheng doesn't think that Yin Jun has such confidence as arrogance, a teenager with the foundation of the three dramas "Bao Qingtian", "Wulin Gaiden" and "Chu Liuxiang", and has the capital that he can be arrogant.
Moreover, anyone who has been in contact with Yin Jun, including Shao Yifu and Fang Yihua, does not think that Yin Jun is an arrogant person, they all think that he belongs to the ancient gentleman, gentle and elegant, self-humble, self-disciplined and self-loving, even if he is not a friend, it is impossible to hate him much.
If you are serious about making a show and can be famous internationally, then such a temptation really makes Yu Zheng feel that it is difficult to refuse.
She is not short of money, and she does not like it much.
But capable people will want to be famous all over the world, to be known to the world, and to make people marvel at their abilities and talents.
Yu Zheng is only 24 years old this year, so he is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.
She also hopes that she can be recognized by the world's news media and become a world-renowned figure.
And Yin Jun praised her talent in and out of her words, which also made Yu Zheng feel very proud.
A genius recognized by the world thinks she is very powerful, and that is naturally an honor.
"Do you have the confidence to amaze European and American countries with this show?" Yu Zheng asked while thinking.
"Of course!" Yin Jun said with a straight face, "As long as Miss Yu agrees to be the host, we will cooperate in this show, if there are no more than 20 countries to buy the copyright of "Millionaire", I will no longer do variety shows." ”
"Don't say it so seriously, lest others think I'm persecuting you!" Yu Zheng smiled and said, "Since you are so sincere, then I'll do this show first! Let's say it first, if the ratings are not good, don't blame me!"
Finally agreed!
Yin Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became relaxed, "Sister Zheng, you just do it according to your own style, believe in your own ability!
"Good!"
Seeing Yin Jun so confident, Yu Zheng also smiled slightly, and looked forward to "Millionaire" a little more in his heart. (To be continued.) )
