Chapter 1117 Should We Delay the Reform? (44)

Shen Xudong and Zhao Xin have been close since college. After starting work, Zhao Xin has been Shen Xudong's right-hand man...

Zhao Xin’s current position is PPTV Chief Content Officer!

Including Liao Gaoxiang and Zhao Linhai, their main focus is on PPTV...

It can also be seen that Tianmei’s focus is actually on PPTV.

Shen Xudong initially planned to imitate New Art City and engage in collective creation, but then he discovered that he was Xu Ke - there was no need for a collective at all!

But they also planned studios for each of the three brothers.

It can be said that Tianmei is the first company in the industry to rely on screenwriters to dominate the world~

The emphasis on the script is engraved in my bones.

This is also the reason why PPTV is so popular in Asia...

Bringing it back, Shen Xudong and Zhao Xin chatted for a while about the American version of "The Wandering Earth." Okay, the previous one was nonsense. Shen Xudong did discuss with Universal to create an American version of "The Wandering Earth," but it was a counter-routine, called "The Wandering Earth." Don’t look up”…

This film is of the same type as the previous American theme movies "Comet Collision", "Collision", "2012" and other disaster movies. It tells the story of scientists who discovered the disaster that the earth was about to face and immediately notified the White House. Then American heroism appeared, solved the problem, and the world returned to peace and tranquility under the salvation of American heroes.

The beginning is the same!

"Don't Look Up" tears away the hypocrisy of American-style movies and tells the public with stark reality how the real government would respond if something like that really happened.

The result is how the normal scientist protagonist gets entangled with the crazy, psychotic capitalist and selfish government, and then all mankind perishes together.

"I will provide the big framework and let Universal find people for specific screenwriters...and special effects are not really needed. We can use an all-star cast..."

"You are quite attentive..."

Shen Xudong was speechless and told the truth: "Nonsense, they haven't given me the final payment for "Jurassic World" yet..."

Zhao Xin changed the topic: "I have a situation here..."

"what's the situation?"

"Do you know "Addicted"?"

"…Know!"

"Addicted", an out-of-circle Dangai drama...

In fact, in 2014, there was a movie called "Similar Love", adapted from angelina's novel "I Love You Too"...

"Counterattack: Falling in Love with a Rival" in 2015.

Chen Peng, the director of "Similar to Love", later produced Dagai dramas such as "Knowing You, Not a Ding" and "Enjoy This Life". The screenwriter of the latter is Chai Dan Dan, who is the same screenwriter of "Addicted" and "Shengshi". The three Dangai dramas she participated in were all adapted from her own novels.

However, these two dramas, "Similar to Love" and "Counterattack: Falling in Love with a Rival," are unsatisfactory in all aspects, so little attention has been paid to them, and not many people know about them.

Therefore, these two dramas failed to become the first scenery in the history of Chinese Dangai dramas.

"Addicted" came out and was broadcast exclusively on Sohu Video. With its compact plot, good acting skills, large-scale dialogues, and fresh faces, it became a hot topic on Weibo as soon as it was released, becoming the first Chinese film to break the circle. The phenomenal delay-gai drama has become popular at home and abroad.

Seeing Shen Xudong nod, Zhao Xin followed, "You have worked on "Screening Room", so you should know the influence of Dangai drama!"

Shen Xudong sighed: "Yes, I know..."

Why are you so sensitive to delays after working on "Screening Room"?

Because... the Shaw Twins in the 1970s: Ti Lung and David Chiang were the male CPs in the industry!

In the mid-1960s, Run Run Shaw brought his young lover Fang Yihua to the company and asked her to take charge of the purchasing department.

As a result, this girl came from behind and was "very stingy" with a group of big directors and actors, which made company veterans such as Zou Wenhuai and Zhang Che feel a lot of dissatisfaction.

Later, Zou Wenhuai joined forces with Zhang Che and Wang Yu to "establish his own business."

Unexpectedly, their premeditated plan was leaked. Run Run Shaw took the initiative and made an appointment with Zhang Che in advance and asked him: "Ley Meng (Zou Wenhuai) plans to leave. Should he keep him or let him go?"

Zhang Che thought for a moment, dipped his finger in tea, and wrote the word "put" on the table.

This move directly led to Zou Wenhuai's departure, and his beloved disciple Wang Yu became furious when he found out about it. After reprimanding Zhang Che for his unjust act, he left angrily.

Now, the royal hero has left, leaving Zhang Che with no one available. The appearance of Ti Lung and David Jiang gave him a faint smell of brotherly love.

One is 1.83 meters tall and mighty, while the other is 1.7 meters tall and bohemian, with a full sense of CP.

So Zhang Che began to bring the two pairs together, and successively created classics for them such as "Bodyguard", "Revenge", and "New One-Armed Sword", which opened the historical precedent of "Double Heroes of Di and Jiang".

Because of their perfect cooperation on the TV screen, they have created one classic screen image after another.

Li Bihua wrote "Farewell My Concubine" from "Revenge", and John Woo made a movie "The Comedian" as a metaphor for Di Jiang.

Not only that, in the play, the two hit it off as brothers who could live and die. Outside the play, the two are inseparable friends.

At that time, being an actor was just a profession, with a fixed salary. The two lived in the company dormitory, ate and lived together, and were inseparable.

They wear the same clothes, eat the same bowl of late-night snacks, and ride the same motorcycle.

Of course, it wasn’t called CP at that time, it was called twins.

As long as they appear in the same movie, the heroine in it is basically equivalent to a gorgeous soy sauce. Many old audiences watch Chang Cheh's movies for the "brotherly love".

The screenwriter also followed suit, and the lines he wrote for the two great men are so imaginative, such as "The New One-Armed Sword"...

‘Now that this has happened, I will seal the deal and let’s go farming on the edge of Taihu Lake. ’

The "Old Dream of Taihu" derived from "The New One-Armed Sword" has also become a gathering place for CP fans. They have been on the road for almost fifty years. This productivity is not short-lasting.

"Although "Addicted" has been blocked in China, it is still very popular in Southeast Asia... After our PPTV got the exclusive broadcast, the overseas click rate was very high..."

"Do you have any idea?"

"I want to make a few large-scale dramas exclusively for overseas..."

"Large scale?"

"It's just a delay in changing the type!"

Shen Xudong frowned: "Didn't you know that "Addiction" was removed from the entire network last year?"

"We only make products for overseas markets, can't we? I think ancient style + martial arts + dangai have a future. Ancient style dramas have a huge market in Southeast Asia..."

"...You let them know what the General Administration means," Shen Xudong thought for a while: "...I think it's quite unsettling. It will only be broadcast overseas. The commercial value of the drama will be greatly reduced, and it will add too much to the commercial value of many male stars. Weak!"

"Let's use new people..." After a pause, Zhao Xin added: "PPTV data shows that the most popular dramas in Southeast Asia are Korean dramas...the most popular Chinese dramas are costume dramas and "Addicted"..."

"Dangai has this kind of magic power?"

"Try it, it's not expensive anyway!"
