Chapter 265 Your Korean Drama Is Good, but the Next Second It Is

Chapter 265 Your Korean drama is great, but it will be mine in the next second~

"Hehe, Shanghai Film Studio is really quick."

Looking at the freshly-published daily newspaper in his hand, the headline is a photo of the director and screenwriter of "Parasite" holding a media apology meeting, Wu Yuan laughed and shook his head.

Both of them bowed 90 degrees, looking very sincere.

The focus is not on them, but on the producer from Emperor Entertainment Group and the representative of the producer from Youyou Sunshine Film and Television who also apologized next to them.

Shanghai Film Studio itself is invisible.

Wu Yuan also knows this tacitly.

"Director Wu, do we still need to continue the appeal process?" Li Xiaoping, who was waiting on the side, asked cautiously.

"Of course we have to continue the appeal." Wu Yuan said frankly: "Since the other party has infringed our copyright, of course we have to defend our rights through legal means and get back our losses."

"If apologies are useful, what do we need the police for?"

A classic line from "Meteor Garden" successfully made Li Xiaoping, who is always serious, laugh.

"I understand, Director Wu." Li Xiaoping replied with a chuckle covering her mouth.

"Okay, just follow up on this matter later." Wu Yuan waved his hand.

He didn't think that any company would dare to confront Light and Shadow Times when the fact of plagiarism was clear.

He still had some idea of ​​his influence in the mainland film industry.

He dare not say that he is the biggest mountain, but he is definitely one of the best. Cheng Er now has Wu Yuan as a backer. Not to mention bullying others, but he will never be bullied by others.

It is really important to have a powerful backer in the entertainment industry.

Otherwise, Huayi would not have been known as a "brothel" and there would still be actors who wanted to join Huayi like moths to a flame.

Of course, there are more actors who want to join Light and Shadow Times.

Wu Yuan thought of the previous arrangements and asked, "Mr. Li, how is the company's agency going? How many of the actors I circled have been signed?"

"We have already contacted these actors, and most of them are very tempted by the olive branch thrown by the company."

"Jiang Xin, Chen Zihan, Hai Qing, as well as Zhang Yi, Duan Yihong, Pan Yueming and others are willing to switch to our company."

"Luo Jin and Jia Nailiang, who have acted in the company's dramas, have already signed contracts."

Frowning, Wu Yuan was a little surprised: "Wang Likun, Qin Lan, Yan Kuan, Yuan Hong, they are unwilling?"

"Qin Lan clearly refused, Wang Likun was a little vague, Yan Kuan and Yuan Hong were still a little hesitant."

Wu Yuan thought about it, Qin Lan had a reason to refuse, her current boyfriend is Lu Taijun.

Speaking of which, Lu Taijun can be regarded as a young director of Beijing Film Academy who has been crushed by Wu Yuan all the way.

Lu Chen is a graduate student of the 1995 class of the directing department of Beijing Film Academy and is Wu Yuan's senior.

But he debuted later than Wu Yuan, and his debut film "Looking for the Gun" was not released until 2002.

As we all know, although "Looking for the Gun" was directed by Lu Chen, in fact, the film was completely controlled by the male lead Jiang Wen.

When Jiang Wen was acting in "The Emperor and the Assassin", he could even argue with Chen Kaige, and even stopped acting because of different ideas. Not to mention Lu Chen, who had no say in front of Jiang Wen and was a nominal director.

His first real work was "Kekexili" in 2004, which was also a success. He won many awards and established his identity as an outstanding young film director.

However, Lu Chen is also deeply involved in the plagiarism storm.

Liu Yujun, the director of "I and the Tibetan Antelope-The Glacier Flows Here", accused Lu Chuan of plagiarizing his documentary.

The two films have the same plots, ideas, creativity, scenes, on-site atmosphere, visual background, lens composition, and even some dialogues, with dozens of similarities.

Whether it is plagiarism or not is a matter of opinion.

Anyway, the lawsuit is still going on, and the situation is not good.

But it is undeniable that Lu Chen has a wide network of people behind him. His father and many people in the academy support him and give him resources.

As Lu Chen's girlfriend, Qin Lan does not value the olive branch of Light and Shadow Times as much as other actors, and she is not short of resources now.

Wang Likun did not agree, which was beyond Wu Yuan's expectation.

I haven't heard that this actor has any background, otherwise he would not have been tepid later.

Maybe she is the kind of person who goes with the flow and does not have such a strong desire to strive in her career?

Speaking of which, it is indeed rare to see Wang Likun participate in variety shows. Like Liu Yifei, she is very lazy.

"Yan Kuan and Yuan Hong," Wu Yuan frowned, "go and do their work."

"What does Yuan Hong think? He has been only a supporting role in Tangren, so he plans to be the second male lead for Hu Ge for the rest of his life?"

"In The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Yuan Hong also played the second male lead Yang Kang, right?"

Li Xiaoping explained softly, "Yuan Hong is actually quite tempted, but Cai Yinong from Tangren has managed the atmosphere of the company very well."

"Under Cai Yinong's painstaking management, the relationship between Tangren's contracted artists is like a big family, and the atmosphere is very harmonious."

"She is very good at playing the emotional card, and Yuan Hong was originally Hu Ge's college classmate, and they slept together on the upper and lower bunks."

"Although Yuan Hong is somewhat dissatisfied with the current resources, she is still reluctant to leave Tangren emotionally."

"Tangren's big family culture is really powerful, and it is completely different from the situation of artists in Huayi who are incompatible with each other."

Tapping the table with his index finger, Wu Yuan pondered for a while and said with certainty: "We are all adults. It is impossible to act on emotion all the time."

"Do more ideological work for Yuan Hong. He will think clearly. Leaving Tangren will give him better development."

He knew that in 2010, after Yuan Hong's contract with Tangren expired, he weighed the pros and cons and finally did not choose to renew the contract. He did not want to continue to be the second brother in Tangren.

Now it is nothing more than to persuade him to fly solo as soon as possible.

"What is the situation with Yan Kuan?" Wu Yuan asked again.

Li Xiaoping thought for a moment: "Yan Kuan and his agent have a good relationship, and the two of them work well together. Although he is not particularly popular now, he has no shortage of acting offers, so he has no intention of moving."

"After all, his agent has contributed a lot to his success in becoming a male god in ancient costume dramas."

"Even the agent should be recruited!" Wu Yuan said decisively: "Anyway, the company is indeed short of agents now. The agent who can recruit Yan Kuan will not be too bad. Let's recruit him together!"

It is pure nonsense to say that artists and companies can have any feelings.

However, artists do have feelings for their agents who have worked together for a long time. After all, they have been together for a long time, and the agent is responsible for the entire career planning of the artist.

Therefore, many artists, especially those who emerged in the millennial generation, have dated their agents if their agents are of the opposite sex, and many of them even ended up getting married.

"In this way, these artists who have signed with the company should not be idle."

Wu Yuan was about to take out a cigarette box to light a cigarette, but he touched his pocket and found that his pocket was empty. Then he remembered that he had been "quit smoking".

Touching the tip of his nose, Wu Yuan paused and continued, "Let them all play the male and female protagonists of a unit in "Soul Ferry."

"It just so happens that the first part has a total of seven or eight unit stories, let them each play the protagonist of a unit."

As he spoke, Wu Yuan's mouth curled up.

Now it seems that there is nothing strange about gathering these actors in a TV series, but when you look at it again ten years later, this is another god drama, the kind that countless viewers lament that "there will never be such a lineup again."

"After they all guest-star in "Soul Ferry", the company will arrange new scripts for them, and they will not lack dramas to shoot."

In the entire mainland entertainment industry, Wu Yuan has the most scripts in his hands. No matter how many actors the company signs, he is not afraid of not having enough resources.

When it was decided that the company would walk on two legs, movies and TV series, Wu Yuan only took out some Taiwanese idol dramas to seize the idol drama market, which does not mean that he only has Taiwanese idol dramas as a card!

Wu Yuan also prepared a card, which is specially prepared for his own streaming platform!

That is the various Korean dramas that were popular in Asia in his previous life!

In fact, the current Korean TV series have already shown signs of dominating Asia.

From "Dae Jang Geum", "Autumn in My Heart", "Full House", "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" to "My Girl", "Rookie Employee", "Witch Yoo Hee"...

But it has not yet reached its peak.

The streaming platform that Wu Yuan wants to build is of course not limited to the domestic market, he also wants to look forward to the Asian market.

Although I don't want to admit it, the fact is that Korean TV series are indeed very popular with Asian audiences, including mainland audiences.

"The Heirs", "Signal", "City Hunter", "My Love from the Star", "Descendants of the Sun", "Goblin", "W-Two Worlds"...

Wu Yuan has too many cards to play.

In addition to some relatively excellent Chinese dramas in later generations, such as "White Night Chase", "Want to See You", "Twinkle Twinkle Star", "Awakening Age", etc....

In the next ten years of the era of light and shadow, there is really no shortage of TV series to shoot.

Of course, these TV series are to be broadcasted on the Internet or exclusively on the Internet, in order to promote the influence of their own streaming platforms, and it is best to conquer the entire Asian market!

Netflix can make its own streaming platform popular in Europe and the United States with a "House of Cards" series.

Can't Wu Yuan use this batch of excellent Korean dramas + Chinese dramas to win the Asian market?

But to achieve this layout, a large number of actors must be used. Guangying Times cannot rely on three or five familiar faces to shoot TV series back and forth.

Isn't this what Jiaxing Tianxia has become? There are only three or five actors matching back and forth every day. The producers are not tired, but the audience is tired.

So Wu Yuan asked Li Xiaoping to sign a group of actors he is optimistic about.

With good actors and good scripts, Wu Yuan doesn't believe that he can't make a batch of TV series above the boutique line!

And through the training of these TV series, not only can Guangying Times make a group of its own 85 flowers and 85 young students popular, but Wu Yuan can also harvest a group of actors trained through a lot of acting!

When he makes a movie, he can also select some suitable actors from this group of actors, which can be regarded as training reserve talents for himself.

After all, Wu Yuan knows very well what level the young actors in the entertainment industry in the future are.

He dare not use them, he dare not use them at all!

I understand what it means, everyone feels that it is bland.

But the layout period between the previous and the next plot is indeed like this.

This plot must be laid out, which is related to Wu Yuan's path for the next ten years, but the foreshadowing is almost finished here, don't worry, "Those Years" and "Gravity" are coming.
