Chapter 735 Running Man Signs Contract, Go Fighting Is About to Debut! What Is a Domestic Science Fiction Epic?

In the office, Wang Changtian said in a deep voice:

"Mango Channel has many popular variety shows, and because of this, Mango Channel is very rich, influential, and even has a lot of publicity resources..."

Listening to these words, Chen Fei became more confused.

Wang Changtian has been praising Mango Platform for a long time, but the final result is to kick Mango Platform out. What is the reason for this?

Perhaps seeing the confusion in his eyes, Wang Changtian suddenly changed his tone.

"But precisely because Mango Channel has so many popular variety shows, after acquiring "Running Man", they were destined to be unable to allocate too many publicity and promotion resources.

Therefore, in my opinion, it is the best choice to find a star TV station that is rich but does not have the support of popular variety shows! "

Hearing this, Chen Fei suddenly realized!

"If you choose another TV station, it means you can get strong support from this TV station. Whether it is publicity resources or prime broadcast time, there will be no small advantages."

"That's right." Wang Changtian nodded and replied, "That's exactly what I think. What we have to do now is to make this variety show famous, rather than doing a one-time deal."

Chen Fei originally did not have high expectations for the selling price of the first season of "Running Man" because in his opinion, only from the second season can this variety show officially kick off the "money printing" process.

The two sang together and soon made plans for the follow-up.

As for Gu Yongqiang and Su Guohai on the side, apart from nodding in support, they had no other opinions.

After all, they are not from media backgrounds, so their experience in this area is still somewhat lacking.

After another half an hour, the conversation about variety shows was almost finished.

At this time, Wang Changtian suddenly mentioned another thing: "Young horseman, I feel aggrieved just thinking about it. For the project of "Old Paoer", the first person I wanted to look for was Lighting. I didn't expect that it would be snatched up by Huayi." Gone."

Chen Fei smiled and comforted: "There is a time in life that must be there, but there is no time in life, so don't force it."

On the side, Gu Yongqiang changed the topic with a hint: ""Flower Thousand Bones" is about to reach its finale. Mango has found Youku and wants to buy the second round of broadcast rights. The price is much higher than other satellite TV. Twice as much!”

"Then sell it to them."

Although Chen Fei has not had a particularly good impression of Mango in recent years, including his impression of some hosts, he can still sell TV series.

In this kind of one-shot deal, we will naturally cooperate with whichever company offers the highest price.

What's more, the deputy director in charge of the TV series project is still an old acquaintance of his, and the two parties can still continue to cooperate in this regard.

Although it is impossible to avoid marketing, bundling, brainless hype and other routines, there is at least a certain lower limit when it comes to marketing when you are the middleman.

"The promotion of "Red Sorghum" has begun?"

"Yes, it's already underway." Gu Yongqiang nodded and added: "In the next day or two, the post-editing of "Nirvana in Fire" will be finished."

"Okay, just play them in sequence. By the time "Nirvana in Fire" is over, the new dramas will almost be ready to follow."

Listening to the discussion between the two, Wang Changtian could not conceal his envy.

"When will the light be able to launch hit TV series easily like you guys!"

"There will come a day."

Chen Fei smiled cheerfully and encouraged him.

…

In a blink of an eye, the time has arrived on the 5th.

The box office of "Now You See Me 2" successfully exceeded 300 million, far surpassing "The Expendables 3" and many domestic movies in the same period.

At the same time, six domestic films, including "One Life to Live" starring Nicholas Tse and Gao Yuanyuan, were released in theaters at the same time.

Unfortunately, the entire film industry does not have high expectations for these films.

Because judging from their names, they are destined to be cannon fodder!

At the same time, information about several film and television works appeared on the Weibo hot search list:

"The crime and action movie "Sicario", exclusively produced and produced by Feiyue Films and directed by Lu Yang, starring Xie Bao and Liu Shishi, was successfully completed this morning."

"The "Diaosi Man" movie "Pancake Man", controlled by Sohu, produced and produced by Xinli and Wanda, and directed by Dong Chengpeng, has officially started production!"

"The latest TV series projects exclusively produced by Feiyue Film and Television: "The Best of Us", "Born Together" and "Ode to Joy" have successively announced their launch in Hengdian, Dalian and Hangzhou."

"The legendary costume production "The Legend of Mi Yue" directed by Zheng Xiaolong held a launch ceremony in Hengdian this morning. Sun Li, Liu Tao, Huang Xuan and others were present."

"The large-scale costume TV series "Wei Zifu" starring Raymond Lam and Wang Luojie and co-produced by the Mainland and Hong Kong Island was considered unhistorical because of the plot in which Wei Zifu was beautified into "White Lotus" and "Mary Sue", such as Pure "chicken soup for the soul", which resulted in being criticized by the General Administration."

Looking at the last piece of news, Chen Fei felt inexplicably sorry for Wang Luozhen.

As the first-generation "Fly Girl" and the first domestic Chinese actor to serve as the heroine of the Hollywood blockbuster "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", she should have great potential for development.

However, these sisters were influenced by artists from Huayi and resolutely opened an artist studio of their own.

Although this studio is affiliated with Feiyinghuang Agency, resources will definitely be affected.

And now, because of the TV series "Empress Wei", she has been questioned and criticized.

In fact, Chen Fei said a long time ago that if you want to star in historical films and TV series, you must stay away from the production team in Hong Kong.

Unfortunately, Wang Luoxuan didn't take his words seriously at all, and resolutely jumped into this "devil's cave".

...

Hollywood is also a devil's cave.

It has been several days, and after the first wave of "pornographic photos" photos and videos were released, the second wave came!

When seeing that the European and American actresses who were bright and beautiful in front of the camera were actually unrestrained in private, many fans expressed that they could not accept it.

Chen Fei was not too surprised by this, because he had seen more exaggerated ones.

That's all... not even the fur.

There are many female stars who play more exaggerated, more unrestrained, and more without bottom line in private!

Moreover, the Internet is much more open than in China. Some people are even selling nude photos at a marked price.

The price of $350 attracted the attention of countless fans.

Even if many people quit being fans, they would not give up the opportunity to collect nude photos of their favorite idols.

…

September 6 arrived smoothly.

On this day, the 71st Venice International Film Festival came to an end.

Unfortunately, "Intruder", which has been shortlisted for the main competition unit, ended up with nothing.

Under the lens of the media, Wang Xiaoshuai acted a little lonely: "Next, I will continue to participate in the Venice International Film Festival with more excellent works, and hope to gain something in the next session."

Unlike the Cannes International Film Festival in May, which was full of masters, the Venice International Film Festival was a little deserted when it came to it.

According to statistics from The Hollywood Reporter, nearly 90% of the 2014 Oscar favorites, such as Benedict Cumberbatch's Turing biopic "The Imitation Game", Eddie Redmayne's Hawking biopic "The Theory of Everything", and "Captain America" ​​Chris Evans' directorial debut "Before We Go" chose to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival instead of the Venice International Film Festival.

For most fans and audiences, the names of the films and people on the list of winners are quite unfamiliar.

In fact, before this, the Venice International Film Festival had contacted Chen Fei and wanted him to bring "The Revenant" to this year's film festival.

However, due to time factors, by the time he finished filming the movie, the shortlist had already been announced.

Both sides missed each other perfectly.

Of course, although this year's Venice International Film Festival was a bit deserted, it was precisely because of the presence of those who "snuck" on the red carpet that it created a "lively" situation.

Although those young actresses and actors are far inferior to their predecessors, they have successfully completed the succession.

If nothing unexpected happens, they will still appear after the Berlin International Film Festival begins.

…

On the night of the 6th, Chen Fei picked up Liu Yifei who returned from the Venice International Film Festival at the airport.

As the saying goes, a short separation is better than a new marriage!

That night, the two of them almost shook the bed down. If Chen Fei hadn't carried her to the sofa, they might not have thought about sleeping in the master bedroom tonight.

What was very frustrating was that he had to get up early the next morning.

Because at 10 o'clock in the morning, Feiyue Film and Television, together with Guangguang and Youku, would hold a grand signing conference with Blueberry TV.

In the future, the first season of "Running Man" will reach in-depth cooperation with Blueberry TV.

As for Mango TV, it was finally kicked out.

As if she was awakened by Chen Fei's movement, Liu Yifei opened her eyes dazedly and looked at him, muttering: "You got up so early?"

"Well, there is something very important to do today."

Chen Fei leaned over and kissed her on the fragrant face, tucked her in, and coaxed her lovingly: "Go to sleep first, wait for me to come back, and take you to eat delicious food."

...

For this signing ceremony, Blueberry TV has put a lot of effort.

When Chen Fei arrived at the scene, he found that the largest studio of Blueberry TV had been carefully decorated.

At the entrance, the red carpet was spread, and more than a dozen etiquette ladies in dresses stood on both sides. They greeted the arrival of each guest with sweet smiles and professional attitudes.

At the end of the red carpet was a huge background board, on which was written in large golden characters "Joint signing press conference between the producer of "Running Brothers" and Blueberry TV", shining under the light.

Similarly, there were many media reporters and audience fans on the scene.

The host of Blueberry TV was dressed in a custom-made dress, looking elegant and graceful, and guiding the audience and media friends with kind words.

Chen Fei did not enter through the main entrance, but went through the side door and went to the second floor with Wang Changtian and Gu Yongqiang.

For this signing ceremony, Blueberry TV specially arranged a deputy director to come. .

"Mr. Chen, according to our plan, as long as this signing press conference is over, we will immediately start the variety show promotion and marketing. Before the National Day file is launched, we will strive to make it known to the whole network and cover all places with the network..."

Although Blueberry TV is not as generous as Mango TV, it still has certain advantages in terms of resources.

In addition, the program "Running Brothers" is very effective, and Blueberry Channel does not have a popular variety show, so it will inevitably invest a huge amount of promotional resources in it and give it the best prime broadcast schedule.

This happens to be the purpose of Chen Fei and Wang Changtian.

Several people were chatting upstairs when suddenly, they heard a lively noise coming from downstairs.

Chen Fei looked down through the window and saw the members of the "Brotherhood" dressed in uniform uniforms. They were either handsome or energetic. As soon as they appeared on stage, they aroused bursts of cheers from the audience.

Seeing this scene, both the production side and the channel side smiled unconsciously, as if they had seen a blockbuster variety show that was popular all over the country.

As the guests took their seats one after another, the press conference officially entered the signing ceremony.

The leader of Blueberry Channel first took the stage to give a speech, highly praising the high quality of the "Running Brothers" program and expressing his heartfelt gratitude and high respect to the production team.

Afterwards, director Yao Yisheng took the stage to speak, reviewing the arduous journey of the program from planning to shooting, and shared every detail of the team's creative process.

Amid warm applause, representatives from both sides came to the stage and signed a cooperation agreement.

At this time, Chen Fei was holding a document in his hand, which clearly marked the final selling price of "Running Brothers".

Unlike the mango platform that offered 300 million, the blueberry platform could only offer 280 million, a full 20 million less.

But correspondingly, the promotional resources on Blueberry Channel are top-notch, and the broadcast time period is also the best.

Calculating it this way, it’s actually not a big loss.

…

At the same time as the press conference here ended, the relevant media spread the news as soon as possible.

"The outdoor reality show variety show "Running Brothers" jointly produced by Feiyue Films, Youku, and Enlight has officially reached an exclusive cooperation with Blueberry Channel."

"The deputy director of Blueberry Channel stated that the first season is initially scheduled to be released in October and will be broadcast in the best prime time period."

"Youku President Gu Yongqiang said at the scene: "Running Brothers" will also be broadcast on Youku.com, and the specific broadcast time will be one day later than Blueberry Channel."

For a moment, the circle became lively.

Many companies are inquiring about the transaction price of the first season of "Running Brothers". After all, this is the first time that a film and television company has produced a reality show and sold it to a television station.

In the past, most TV stations produced their own reality shows, so that they could be sure of the truth.

However, the price is a commercial secret and no one can find out.

Neither the producer nor the broadcaster will reveal this most critical information.

And this also makes those film and television company bosses who fantasize about doing variety shows feel itchy.

They also wanted to imitate Chen Fei, but they were afraid of losing money, not to mention how entangled they were.

Back at the company, Chen Fei called Gu Yongqiang and asked about news about another project.

"The production team of Running Man will directly invest in the "Extreme Challenge" project, but Yao Yisheng refused to continue directing the new project and instead recommended his senior brother Yan Min.

At present, the project preparation has been completed. We will announce it to the public after "Running Man" is launched..."

After explaining the rough plan, Gu Yongqiang suddenly changed his tone: "By the way, Director Chen, do we need to bring in light this time?"

When filming the first season of "Running Man", the lighting was used to flatter their variety show production team.

Now after several months of study, Youku's variety show production team has also started working and can now produce variety shows independently.

And this also means that the light is useless.

However, after thinking for a while, Chen Fei still said: "It's not our style to kill the donkey and kill the donkey. Let's go and explore Mr. Wang's tone and see what he thinks.

If he wants to join, we can give him a 20% share. If he doesn't want to, then let's do it ourselves. "

"Okay, Mr. Chen, I understand."

Gu Yong responded loudly and then hung up the phone.

…

On the 8th, there was another blockbuster among mainland imported films.

The movie "Divergent: Alien Awakening", in which Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet plays a villain for the first time, has been officially released in mainland China.

For a time, many fans went to the cinema chasing the goddess again, so that the situation of many domestic films became increasingly difficult.

Regrettably, the sci-fi masterpiece "Divergent: Awakening of the Alien", which originally had high hopes, fell into a cliche and suffered a reputation failure.

Many science fiction fans entered the theater with high expectations, hoping to see how their goddess interprets the dark power of the new era. However, they found that the film ultimately became a visual carnival, with an empty plot and dazzling special effects that could not conceal it. The paleness of the story.

The film not only fails to delve into the profound philosophical thinking behind the original work, but also piles up many action scenes that are out of touch with the theme. People can't help but lament that another science fiction classic with unlimited potential has been adapted into a nutritious explosion. Rice cake movie.

What is even more distressing for science fiction fans is that the production level of the film also appears to be uneven, the details are rough, and many scenes reveal traces of rush work, as if they are mocking the audience's IQ.

For a time, there were complaints on the Internet, and everyone said that such a waste of an excellent IP is really a great regret in the science fiction world!

As a senior science fiction fan, Chen Fei also unfortunately became one of the viewers of this film.

He was originally planning to go with Liu Yifei to support him, but in the end he could only come back disappointed.

When he walked out of the theater, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "It's such an epic masterpiece, how could it end up like this? It's a pity that the subject matter and the cast are so good."

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the script that Guo Fan had been adjusting and revising.

"It seems that the time is almost up, and it is also time for audiences around the world to take a look at what a domestically produced science fiction epic is!"
