Chapter 274 Struggling (First Update! Please Subscribe!)

It was Xu Anhua's first time making a movie by himself, so he was naturally very serious.

I remember that when filming "Crazy Tribulation" in her previous life, Xu Anhua arranged all the cast and crew to live in her own home, and then had a unified routine every day. In such a state, even she herself felt a little too nervous when talking about it later.

In this life, she took Yin Jun's 1 million funds, which seemed very affluent. In addition, Yin Jun didn't have any box office requirements, so she did it slowly and with ease.

Usually, Xiangjiang movies only need half a month to shoot, and then half a month to make them before they can be released.

But from the end of April to the current end of May, the filming of "Crazy Tribulation" has not been completed, making Zhao Yazhi complain endlessly.

It's not that she's tired, but that "Chu Liuxiang's Resurrection" is about to start filming again. Li's preparations are even more exaggerated this time. There are a total of 200 episodes. It can be seen that they are really going crazy and urgently need Your own super ace comes to the rescue.

Such a long TV series, although it will not start broadcasting until June 10th, but it was only filmed 20 days in advance, the task of the crew is still a bit nervous, and there are many requirements for the male and female protagonists.

Zhao Yazhi wanted to go to the set of "Crazy Tribulation" and the set of "Chu Liuxiang: The Rising Wind and Cloud" at the same time, and also went home to accompany her son. She wished she could split herself into two people.

When she was on the phone with Yin Jun, she complained so coquettishly and angrily.

When Zhao Yazhi and Yin Jun get along, they both seem very relaxed and will let go of many guards. Yin Jun is also a good listener, most of the time he just listens and doesn't express much opinion.

Even if Zhao Yazhi is a goddess, the goddess will also have a small temper, and will be unhappy when encountering bad things, and if you want to reason with women, it is absolutely wrong, so it is better not to speak.

Yin Jun is actually not that optimistic about "Chu Liuxiang's Resurgence", although the two biggest protagonists Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi are still there, and even a group of main creators, except for Hu Tiehua, has been replaced by their other handsome young student Wan Ziliangzhi In addition, nothing has changed, but Yin Jun is worried that they will not be able to grasp the essence of "Chu Liuxiang".

Why is Chu Xiangshuai so popular?

In fact, it's not that Gu Long's writing is too good, but that the few stories Yin Jun chose and adapted are too good.

In the original "Chu Liuxiang", the overall color is actually a bit dark, full of conspiracy and setbacks.

However, the few stories Yin Jun chose were relatively easy. In addition, Yin Jun changed the overall style to be handsome, so that Chu Liuxiang continued to show his charm, just like a peacock, attracting The audience in front of the TV.

If Lidi continued to think this way, it shouldn't be a big problem.

But the producer of "Chu Liuxiang: The Rise of the Wind and Cloud" has changed from Xu Xiaoming to McDonald Bear.

Who doesn't know the style of McDonald's movies?

This is the series that tends to be dark and struggling. In the "Chu Liuxiang" story written by Gu Long, there are just a few of them in this style.

If Xiao Ruoyuan wrote these stories according to McDonald's intentions, then it is a matter of course that "Chu Liuxiang's Resurgence" will definitely not reach the previous heights, and maybe it will fall to a not-so-good ratings.

Don't doubt, not all "Chu Liuxiang" ratings are very good, let alone the scary version of Ren Xianqi and Zhu Xiaotian, even Zheng Shaoqiu himself, the ratings of "Chu Liuxiang" starring in the Baodao version are not as good as Xiangjiang TVB version, the reason is probably this.

Then there is another point, which is also the reason why Yin Jun is not optimistic about "Chu Liuxiang: The Storm Comes Back".

That means Li's has no money now.

Most of the crew of "Chu Liuxiang: The Wind and Cloud Resurrection" are from the original cast, but Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi's salaries and red envelopes are quite a lot, adding up to hundreds of thousands, and with such a large group of people gathered, the filming is so amazing For the sequel of the play, red envelopes are indispensable.

But the red envelopes for the salary itself will cost millions, plus the production, plus they have to shoot 200 episodes, at least more than 10 million in production costs.

Li's has been short of money lately. Although "A Thousand Rivers and Mountains Are Always Love" and "The Change of the Silkworm" also made a lot of money, they are short of money in other areas.

In addition, Li's was poached by TVB and Jiashi on a large scale. In order to keep their actors and behind-the-scenes personnel in the TV station, they had no choice but to raise their salaries one after another, so the money gap further widened.

Huang Xizhao and Zhong Jinghui scraped together money everywhere, this is what they can sustain in front of them.

Yin Jun heard from Zhao Yazhi that this time "Chu Liuxiang" will not go to the west of Guangdong for filming, all will be filmed in Xiangjiang, and will use the set method to a greater extent. .

Yin Jun has always felt that the audience can tell at a glance whether a TV series is sincere or not.

One of the reasons for the success of "Chu Liuxiang" written by him is that Li listened to Yin Jun's advice and put half of the exterior scenes of "Chu Liuxiang" on the vast land in the inland. The effect is completely different.

Now they want to make a good film of "Chu Liuxiang" to save their lives, and on the other hand, they want to save costs as much as possible. This is obviously unrealistic, and it is not good for the overall TV series.

This is exactly the same as the future development of Xiangjiang Films.

Where was Xiangjiang film ruined?

Isn’t it because the stars’ remuneration accounts for 60% or even 80% of the filming budget, and the remaining budget is not enough to make a movie, so the filming budget is compressed as much as possible, so that in the end it becomes nondescript and can only rely on the stars face to make money?

When the star's face becomes boring for others to see, it will be the end of Xiangjiang Films.

Although the representativeness of "Chu Liuxiang" is not that exaggerated, if it is really done like this, I am afraid it is also a relatively typical type of failure.

Fortunately, Li's current TV ratings are still unbeatable at 9 o'clock, and the other news and variety shows are also remarkable, there is no major regression, otherwise those advertising sponsors would have been dissatisfied and noisy.

In fact, the advertising sponsors feel a little displeased that Lide has not blossomed around like last year's Jiashi this year. Many advertisers who have been cooperating with them also said that if they can't turn the situation around, then they will reduce the number of advertisements for the next year. sponsored by the ad.

And what they are waiting for, what Li's herself is waiting for, and even what the British headquarters is looking forward to success, is this "Chu Liuxiang: The Storm Comes Back".

Speaking of which, Yin Jun himself still feels a little guilty for letting go of himself like this.

It's just that he always felt that it was far better for Li's to be in the hands of Qiu Degen than in the hands of the gringo.

Li's voice from the UK is a little better. After all, they run radio and TV stations, and they know how to run a TV station.

But look at the clumsy performance of those idiots after they sold most of the shares of Li Yingsheng TV to three Australian consortia in the previous life?

Not only did Lide's management team, which formed a whole, be abruptly dismantled, but how much TV viewing share was given to TVB?

It was also during their turbulent 1980s and 1982s that wireless TVB's artist training classes ushered in a huge harvest. In the future, many superstars in Xiangjiang will appear in these three years or so.

If Lide seized the opportunity and snatched up some talents in her own training class, would she be directly beaten to the ground by TVB later on?

Moreover, it is the idiot operation of the Australians that makes Li's operation not so smooth even if it is changed to ATV. The shareholders, as if they were cursed, were originally rich, but But no one can save ATV.

Often after they gained the upper hand, they suddenly encountered various accidents, forcing them to give up in the end.

It cannot but be said that there are some mysterious elements in it, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence?

Yin Jun also thought of this point. It is best for Qiu Degen to act in advance. Don't let the Australians meddle in. Qiu Degen will take over directly and continue to operate according to his ideas. It may not be afraid of wireless TVB.

In this way, "Chu Liuxiang: The Rise of the Wind and Cloud", it seems that it is better to fail.

As long as "Chu Liuxiang's Resurrection" fails, then Li's 1980 advertising investment promotion will definitely suffer an unprecedented fiasco.

Once Li's voice cannot draw funds from Li's TV station to make up for its own loopholes, but needs them to input funds to maintain the business, then from their point of view, it is better to sell this non-core business and raise funds to protect their own core industry.

When the time comes, people from Li's TV station will voice their voices together, and with Qiu Degen's money being paid appropriately, most of Li's voices are willing to let go.

In fact, Qiu Degen has already started.

As he sold shares in March due to the listing of Far East Hotel Group, he gradually gained a lot of cash in his hands, so he also began to think about Lidi's shares.

Li's Yingsheng TV Station is not a listed company, but it is not a single shareholder. In fact, Li's Husheng's Xiangjiang branch only occupies 62% of the shares.

From its establishment to the present, there are already six shareholders of Li's Yingsheng TV. In addition to Li's voice, there are Xu Shixun family, Kadoorie family, Wing On Guo, Standard Chartered Bank and Jardine Matheson.

All right.

Jardine Matheson is definitely a rich and powerful master.

They not only have shares in Li's, they are also the second largest shareholder of Jiashi, and the shareholders of wireless TVB. The three TV stations have relations with them.

The first step Qiu Degen sought was not the four foreign capitals, but the Xu Shixun family and the Yongan Guo family.

The Xu Shixun family and the Yongan Guo family are actually a diversified investment. They are not interested in the management of the TV station. In addition, Li's TV station has been losing money in the past few years. It was used as a cash machine, so they were not interested in keeping the shares. Under Qiu Degen's frequent contact requests, the 9% shares held by the two of them had already been in Qiu Degen's hands.

Now Qiu Degen's main strategy is the Kadoorie family rooted in Xiangjiang. Once he succeeds, Qiu Degen will be able to hold more than 18% of the shares, which is a very favorable bargaining chip for subsequent acquisitions.

Li's voice would not know Qiu Degen's methods, because Qiu Degen had only signed the sale and purchase agreement, and the ownership of the shares had not changed at this time. Only when he started negotiating with Li's voice, would this be a Secret weapon.

Of course, Huang Xizhao, Zhong Jinghui and McDonald Bear knew all of this.

With a complicated psychology, they listened to Qiu Degen keep telling them about the intensity of the acquisition.

This kind of mood is a little gratifying, a little joyful, and even more deeply melancholy.

Li's, she will no longer be that Li's!
