Chapter 1071 Symposium (24)
After Tang Yan, Zhao Liying and Yang Xiaomi left Tianmei, their resources plummeted...
But fortunately, the popularity is still there, and TV stations still buy it. In addition, several video platforms have increased their own production of dramas, so their remuneration has not decreased but increased.
Hot searches in various ways every day…
Marketing is almost done to the extreme...
No way, our female celebrities, especially those whose main business is idol dramas, don't have any serious activities all year round. When they catch up with the activities of a fashion magazine, they focus on one very hard!
In order to be on the hot search, I wish I could go on stage with my butt naked...
When you scroll through Weibo, the screen is full of them. Isn’t this the definition of “red” nowadays?
Poor business ability means that large-scale marketing is necessary to make up for the presence!
They are all willing to throw tens of millions a year to the marketing side to attract first-line female traffic - this money does not mean that the results will be guaranteed, and it is easy to make enemies. After all, if you want traffic, you will definitely get it. Gotta step on it…
Honestly, what's the point of this thing?
As the saying goes, for actors, work is the most important thing!
In other words: resources are what matters.
Without film and television resources, no matter how good your acting skills are, it’s useless…
Especially for those female stars who have completed their popularity accumulation, participating in Zhang Yi's movie means that their quality has improved...
Several people are feeling the pressure...
Chen Xi moved too fast, and Tianmei's resources are obviously much better than those of the outside world...
It's obvious that Chen Xi is flattering.
But what's the use of knowing she's flattering someone?
Tianmei has a platform!
Then, the official announcement of "Nirvana in Fire" was launched, and the heroine...Liu Yifei!
This time I broke through the defense!
Liu Yifei is here to star in Tianmei's drama...
Quickly inquire about the situation, well, there is no need for them to inquire, the fans have already figured out what "Nirvana in Fire" is.
A Machiavellian drama directed by Li Xue and Jian Chuanxi, and produced by Kong Sheng and Shen Xudong.
Damn it, this is the configuration of "Three Kingdoms"!
Top behind the scenes!
Production cost: 150 million, China TV Drama Production Center, Shanying Production, Tianmei Shen Xudong Studio jointly created...
What is this called?
Drama king!
…
In the Great Hall of the People, Shen Xudong met Chen Daoming and quickly followed him. The latter saw Shen Xudong: "Why are you wearing a Mao suit?"
"Be low-key!"
"You also brought a five-star red flag brooch?"
"…is it not OK?"
"Can…"
Along the way, a reporter asked Shen Xudong, and Shen Xudong said something serious, to the effect that he was "very excited" and "study hard and make progress every day"...
Most importantly, the reporters didn’t know what to ask. The symposium just started today and no specific content has been released yet.
After saying a few words, Shen Xudong entered the venue.
This symposium is very important!
First of all, it clarifies the historical mission and contemporary responsibility of literary and artistic work under the conditions of the new era.
Literature and art are the clarion call for the progress of the times. They can best represent the style of an era and best lead the ethos of an era.
History and reality show that literature and art have always shouldered the lofty mission and sacred responsibility of raising the spiritual banner, establishing spiritual pillars, and building a spiritual home.
Secondly, it marks the value beacon and creative sight of literary and art workers under the conditions of the new era.
Feel the changes in the destiny of the country, set the trend of the times, and be the forerunner of the times, and use literary and artistic works to better promote the Chinese spirit and unite China's strength.
Literary and art workers should be the illuminators, forerunners and pioneers of the times, resonate with the development of the country and the rejuvenation of the nation, create more fine masterpieces with strong bones, morals and warmth, and strive to reach the peak of literature and art.
Well, for the film industry, the most important thing is the change of creative theme...
Of course, at this stage, the film industry refers to Shen Xudong and his Tianmei Media.
As for other film companies, they are still enthusiastically working on big IP + small fresh meat...
It wasn’t until 2018 that everyone began to transform…
Forum topics including the Shanghai International Film Festival have also begun to include 'One Belt and One Road Film Week', 'All People Are Running for Well-off and Dreaming of a New Era', and so on. A bunch of so-called industry bosses will also use these themes when promoting their own films. , for example, Huang Zhonglei said, 'Works with Chinese characteristics and reflecting socialist values are an important direction for Huayi Brothers' future film creation...'
Wang Changtian also said, "Continue to deeply explore the ideas and humanistic spirit contained in China's excellent traditional culture, combine with the requirements of the times, continue to inherit and innovate, create masterpieces that reflect the spiritual civilization with the characteristics of the times, and further help the Chinese film and television cultural industry flourish in the new era." ’
Um…
…
In the first two days, Shen Xudong mainly listened to lectures...
This symposium was of high standard, and there were many discussions online. However, the focus of everyone's attention was not on who participated, but on who did not participate...
The typical one is Zhao Benshan!
In fact, he was not invited to any central, provincial or municipal literary and art symposium!
Any fool knows there's something going on here.
Shen Xudong is quite desperate. "Northeast Sherlock Holmes" is probably very difficult...
He found Deputy Director Zhang Hongsen and chatted with him about "Northeast Sherlock Holmes"...
"I like "Ma Dashuai" and "Liu Laogen", so I thought about cooperating with them to make a "Northeast Sherlock Holmes"..."
"What's the theme?"
"Solving crimes in rural areas..."
Shen Xudong briefly talked about the plot of "Northeast Sherlock Holmes" and the creative background by the way: "I went back to my hometown to visit my grandma last year and found that their village didn't even have a canteen. After asking about it, I found out that the canteen was closed because there were too few people. ...and then I thought of this story..."
"Are you trying to show that because of urbanization, there are no people in the countryside?"
"almost…"
Zhang Hongsen thought about it for a while, and then said: "This theme is very good...it will be fine to release it, just don't promote it in a big way...especially in recent times!"
"I see…"
After talking to Deputy Director Zhang, Shen Xudong probably understood the matter.
We had dinner with Director Chen and Li Xuejian. Li Xuejian took over the filming of "Year, Month, Day" and will join the cast next month...
Li Xuejian has also collaborated with Zhang Yimou many times. In "Happy Days" he played an elderly blind masseur; in "Hawthorn Tree Love" he played village chief Zhang...
They all play supporting roles, but this time in "Year, Month, Day" it's the male lead!
Oh, "Year, Month, Day" is a novel by Yan Lianke.
The theme is: What will it be like if there is only one person and one seed in the world if the day of human sacrifice comes.
The protagonist in "Years, Months, Days" is an old man living in such an era. There was no harvest during the drought and famine years. After several days of agonizing waiting, the villagers packed their bags and fled this place under the scorching sun. In a small village, my grandfather decided to stay. For the great dream in his heart, the blind dog stayed with him. The story of one man and one dog unfolds...
Much like "The Old Man and the Sea".
This script was written by Lu Wei, and Director Chen also liked it very much, but... knew he couldn't act it.
