Chapter 1388 Who Can Be the First Brother?

Different from the previous life where sets were built for filming, in this life "The Deer and the Cauldron", many scenes need to be shot in mainland China.

As the number one gold medal producer in Xiangjiang, Xiao Sheng once again chose to shoot in Huajing and Yanzhao.

Liang Chaowei and Yin Jun were taken to the mainland every two days after eating.

Xiao Sheng's crew exceeds a hundred people, and the mainland still needs to find a lot of extras.

In addition, he also wanted to give Gan Guo some face by choosing a few actors from the mainland to play the famous roles in it.

Now Yin Jun has actually fallen out with Baodao, but although Kylin Movies has been secretly embarrassed, Kylin TV has not had any problems at all.

Because Kylin TV is completely free, ordinary people in Baodao can watch it without any official permission as long as they buy a satellite receiver - commonly known as a pot cover.

Therefore, Xiao Sheng is not afraid of being blocked by Treasure Island.

Moreover, to say the least, even if it cannot be broadcast in Baodao, the influence of Kylin TV has already spread all over Asia. Even Japanese and Korean people often stay in front of the TV every night to watch Kylin TV dramas, let alone The traditional sphere of influence is Southeast Asia.

Since the advertising fee received by Kylin TV this year is more than 2 billion, in order to be worthy of the audience, of course it needs to be carefully produced.

In the past, when Yin Jun first came to Hong Kong in 1978, the cost of an episode reached 50,000 yuan, which was considered a large-scale production. The production of an episode of 100,000 yuan basically meant that a TV station would only produce one or two shows a year.

But it’s already different now.

A TV series worth RMB 100,000 per episode is a normal mid-range production.

Ordinary classic TV series usually cost more than 200,000.

"Sister Tuoqiu", which set a TV series cost record in Hong Kong, has an average salary of more than RMB 500,000 for the two protagonists per episode, and the entire episode is almost RMB 800,000 per episode.

Of course, this is not a loss, and it is still a huge profit.

The ratings of "Senior Sister Tuoqiang" in Southeast Asia surpassed Tony Leung Chiu-wai's "Brother Xin Zha" and all TVB TV series, directly ranking first in the past two years.

The price it sold for was also super amazing. One episode sold more than 3 million copyrights, setting a record across Asia.

But except for "Sister Tuoqiang", there has never been a TV series with such high sales, and naturally there is no TV series with such a large production cost.

Even in June last year, Kylin TV's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which Weng Meiling was so popular and equally well-produced, did not sell 3 million.

But having said that, the overall TV drama production of Kylin TV is better than that of the other two TV stations. This is also an indisputable fact.

Because Kylin TV knows how to invest, and it invests continuously, it ranks first not only in other places, but also in Hong Kong.

This is also the reason why TVB and ATV insist on going to the stars to become a TV station covering all of Asia, just like Kylin TV.

If you don't make changes now and make progress, you will be eliminated by the market sooner or later.

Yin Jun was very in favor of their change, and Kylin TV even helped release a few advertisements in March to inform everyone that TVB and ATV were also actively preparing to launch the broadcast.

This shocked the outside world. Everyone thought that Yin Jun would suppress the two major TV stations and maintain his dominant position.

But this also made the outside world admire Yin Jun's courage even more.

Of course, most of them feel that Kylin TV does not have an important position in Yin Jun's career map now, so Yin Jun doesn't care.

Yin Jun had no explanation for this.

He doesn't have to explain it to others at all.

Compared with film companies, television stations are century-old stores.

Although it seems that Kylin TV is not powerful now, if it continues to work hard and becomes the number one TV station in Asia, it will not only have the foundation and power to be the ratings champion.

At that time, its huge influence will be a truly important weapon.

Think about it, your news can cover the whole of Asia, and everyone will read your news and be affected by the broadcast of your news. How powerful will this be?

If it can work hard to enter the mainland, then Kylin TV will have a solid foundation and will not worry about development.

In the previous life, Phoenix Satellite TV had the mainland market, so even with so many restrictions and shackles, wasn't it still living well?

Phoenix TV does not have many viewers in Hong Kong, while Kylin TV has more than one million die-hard fans in Hong Kong.

Compared with Kylin TV, the influence of Kylin Film Company is not that great.

But Yu Zheng is a person who is good at seizing every opportunity.

When Tony Leung and the crew went to Huajing to film, Yu Zheng broke the news and said that "The Deer and the Cauldron" was Tony Leung's last TV series and that from now on, Tony Leung would enter the film field.

And this "son of Hong Kong"'s first movie was an action scene tailor-made for him by Yin Jun, co-starring with Zhou Runfa.

Okay.

As a result, not only people are eagerly looking forward to "The Deer and the Cauldron", but more people are interested in this movie whose name has not yet been leaked.

Many publishers from other places came to discuss buyout matters early.

Although Kirin Film's blockbuster is released in name, it will be released all over Asia, but there are so many countries in Asia, how can it cover everything?

For example, it is impossible for countries such as Laos, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka to establish cinema chains, right?

So they usually buy out the property, and the buyout price is not high, most ranging from US$50,000 to US$200,000.

This is still the price of a blockbuster film.

If it were an ordinary film, it wouldn't be surprising to get $10,000 to $20,000.

But if you don't sell it, you won't make a penny of income. If you sell the copyright, more than a dozen small countries can earn more than one million U.S. dollars, which is a considerable amount of income.

But there are very few movies that can enjoy today's treatment and allow distributors to order them in advance.

Even Cheng Long's movies are not of this level now.

That is to say, Cannes best actor and Oscar nominee Chow Yun-fat, Asia's most popular idol star Tony Leung, and Yin Jun's personal screenwriting aura can allow theater operators to buy in advance without worrying about losing money.

Yu Zheng's propaganda not only caused a storm externally, but also caused a turmoil within Qilin Culture.

Especially the actors and actresses of Kylin TV were even more excited.

In the past two years, the first brother Liang Chaowei who has been weighing on them is finally leaving. Why don't everyone look at that throne eagerly?

Although Wu Weiguo, the most senior, is as valued as Tony Leung, his style is destined to be unsuitable for youthful TV dramas. As a result, he has lost a large number of young fans and can only be regarded as a teacher. She is a breast killer, so her natural status is slightly lower.

But Wu Weiguo's status as a celebrity has never been lost.

The TV series he stars in have always been in the top five of Kylin TV in ratings, and this handsome man has a good image and is especially popular with advertisers.

Therefore, even if Liang Chaowei leaves, Wu Weiguo will not compete for the identity of the first brother, just like he did not compete with Zhou Runfa back then.

But others are different.

Kylin TV is so big and there are so many people who want to get ahead.

Everyone is gearing up, not wanting to ascend to the throne in one fell swoop like Tony Leung, but at least there must be hope of impact.

Of course, it's one thing that many people are attracted by it, but those are the ones who are truly qualified to compete for the title of Kylin TV's No. 1 brother.

The first person recommended is Liang Jiahui.

Although Liang Jiahui starred in the popular "A Better Tomorrow" and Ponyboy made him famous all over Asia, he himself did not feel that he was still lacking and should practice more for a few years.

Therefore, he now also appears in two TV series for Kylin TV every year.

Liang Jiahui's popularity is actually very high.

Last year, he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and Tony Leung was also a candidate for Best Actor.

If it hadn't been for Zhou Runfa's "Prison", his "Burning of the Old Summer Palace" would still have a good chance of winning the Best Actor Award.

This year, he was even more unlucky. The film "Behind the Curtain" that originally made him the emperor in history happened to be the unstoppable "Shawshank Redemption", so he once again missed the best actor.

It was precisely because of these two failures that Liang Jiahui felt that he still needed to polish his skills on both the small screen and the big screen, so that he could grow quickly.

Liang Jiahui is not only popular on the big screen. In August last year, he starred in "The Hands of Mercy", which received a large number of ratings from the very beginning. Dr. Cheng Zhimei has gained a lot of reputation throughout Asia.

This year, it has been decided that Qi Qiyi will continue to produce "Miao Hands 2", and the original cast members including Liang Jiahui will still star.

Once it can stabilize or even exceed the viewership of the first series, then Liang Jiahui will naturally become the number one brother of Kylin TV.

The second one is Liu Dehua.

Speaking of which, Andy Lau is not the kind of actor with many works.

Compared with Liang Jiahui in the same issue, Andy Lau's official debut was later than Liang Jiahui.

When Liang Jiahui started starring in "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", Andy Lau was still playing a small role.

Last year, Liu Dehua was appointed by Yin Jun to star in "The Master of Heaven" together with Weng Meiling, which attracted attention.

Then Liu Dehua has no better works.

But sometimes, whether you are in a high position or not, it does not mean that you have many works and high ratings, that is fine.

It depends on the attitude of the people above you and whether they are willing to praise you.

Needless to say about Liu Dehua, Kylin TV now knows from top to bottom that Yin Jun is ready to support Liu Dehua after Tony Leung.

the reason is simple.

Who is the second male lead in Tony Leung's last TV series after leaving Kylin TV?

Andy Lau!

Legend has it that the hair sister-in-law Chen Yulian, who has not acted in movies for more than two years, was invited by Yin Jun to star in a TV series again. Who will star with her?

Andy Lau!

Since two blockbuster TV series have been given to Andy Lau in a row, can't we say that Yin Jun values ​​Liu Dehua?

Moreover, Liu Dehua's own conditions are also very good.

When he was young, Andy Lau was not as thin as he was after middle age. The young Andy Lau, who was full of collagen, was extremely handsome.

The reason why he is not famous now is entirely because there is no popular TV series to promote his fame.

Once there is a TV series like "Brother Xin Zha" to Tony Leung, then Andy Lau will become the second Tony Leung.

However, the reason why Liu Dehua cannot surpass Liang Jiahui and become the first candidate for the first brother is also very simple.

Liang Jiahui is also someone Yin Jun is very optimistic about.

Otherwise, Yin Jun would not have put him in several big-movie projects so early.

Between the two of them, Ren Dahua originally had a chance.

But Ren Dahua is very ambitious. After starring in "The Sky Cannon", he just wants to develop in movies. Now he has taken on two movies to practice his acting skills and is unwilling to return to the small screen.

In fact, Ren Dahua's choice was very correct.

His face is not handsome, let alone handsome. In TV dramas that pay attention to appearance, he cannot stand out at all.

Movies are different. Yam Dahua can use his acting skills to make the audience more attracted by the plot instead of looking at his face.

Look at the Oscar winners in Hollywood. How many of those superstars who carry the box office are beautiful actors?

Don’t they all win by strength?

Under Ren Dahua, Kylin TV has also had many new stars in the past two years.

Liu Qingyun, who starred in "The Big Era" with Zheng Shaoqiu, is a rising and capable actor.

Although he was suppressed by Zheng Shaoqiu throughout "The Big Era", Liu Qingyun was also trying his best to show off his acting skills, and by virtue of his opposite role with Ding Xie, he really gained a lot of fans.

no way.

Ding Crab is so hated that even now, many people are criticizing Ding Crab for not being a thing.

As the leading actor who single-handedly defeated the super devil Ding Xie, Liu Qingyun was naturally led to the position of second-tier male star.

But Liu Qingyun's biggest shortcoming is that he is not handsome.

It can only be said that he is honest and honest.

And a simple and honest actor, like Simon Yam, cannot become the first brother in a TV series.

Later Ouyang Zhenhua was so powerful, but he was never Wireless's top brother and was always suppressed by Luo Jialiang. This is the reason.

This is also Wu Zhenyu's problem.

He has played the second leading role in many major productions, but he still lacks a sense of breakthrough and cannot find an accurate positioning that would allow him to make his own mark.

Even 30 years later, Wu Zhenyu has become a first-line actor with several movies, but he has never been responsible for the box office. At best, he can only be regarded as a very powerful star.

This kind of person is destined not to become an idol.

This is true for the actors in the first artist training class, not to mention Ouyang Zhenhua, Tao Dayu, Li Zixiong and others in the second class.

They are all still playing small roles now, and not every movie has a supporting role with lines, so there is no way they can hope to compete for the first brother.

Therefore, in the entire Kylin TV system, everyone focused on Liang Jiahui and Liu Dehua.

Who wins and who loses should be known in this year and next year!
