Chapter 498 "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"

Why were actors and actresses considered low-class in ancient times?

Because in ancient times, when there was no machinery to replace productivity, the actor's contribution to the country was really limited.

After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, actors were known as actors, who performed operas and songs on a special stage. Rich families would also train theater troupes at home, and invite them to liven up the atmosphere during holidays or banquets.

As for modern stars…

Mr. Zhao has the final say regarding status and everything else!

In fact, it is capital that is superior to others, not celebrities. Celebrities are just commodities.

Let me give you an example. Sun Li has a good reputation. At least she has no public taint in her life. She complained about night construction many years ago and was scolded as a scumbag...

Yes, they have money, but they don’t have the power to match it…

Does it have any effect?

There are still some, and the biggest effect is to use distractions!

Anyway, every time something happens, a celebrity will come out and take the blame...

Basically, it’s all trivial things like things in the crotch and celebrities’ gossip news, and then find a few marketing accounts to set the pace, and soon, the things that everyone cares about will disappear...

It’s like it’s gone!

But then again, with a daily salary of 2.08 million, you have to take some risks.

All the good things have been given to you. What’s wrong? Are you children of the plane?

Feng Xiaogang then talked about "Yahoo Star Search": "This talent show is used to promote Yahoo China... Although I know Yahoo, I really don't know what this website is for!"

Shen Xudong explained casually: "Portals, media information, and services include email, games, etc. With content and services, there will be traffic, and then advertising will naturally come... That's how you make money, but now the business is all about small businesses Divided into search, e-commerce, social networking, games..."

"Then why did Ma Yun buy it?"

"...I read the report and it seems that it said that Yahoo spent US$1 billion and Yahoo China invested in Alibaba..."

In 2005, Yahoo China president Zhou Hongyi and Yahoo founder Jerry Yang had serious differences over the development direction of Yahoo China, and they were at odds every day.

In the end, Yang Zhiyuan didn't want to do it anymore. He wanted to entrust Yahoo China to a powerful Chinese company. Alibaba was a good choice, so he invested another US$1 billion in Ali. Yahoo's investment solved Ma Yun's problem. Basically everything has been resolved, and I am no longer afraid of eBay’s hostile takeover...

Feng Xiaogang continued: "Ma Yun has a good relationship with the Chinese Army..."

As for the major shareholder, the relationship is certainly not bad...

There is a question. Since the relationship is good, why doesn't Ma Yun help the Huayi brothers?

Nonsense, a film and television company is an asset-light company. The key is to look at people. Huayi brothers, the core talents are still the same as before. The pattern is there. Counterattack is very unlikely. In this case, only fools will do it. Rescue!

Just a remnant of the old days!

Shen Xudong listened to Feng Xiaogang's popular science about the relationship between Huang Zhongjun and Ma Yun, and then asked: "Did Zhao Liying Huayi Brothers sign a contract?"

"...should sign..."

"Will you support me highly?"

"...Definitely not...she won't do anything..."

This incident refers to Sami culture!

——Live a good life without being clingy, be righteous and love the poor. The key is not to let men take responsibility and give, but to find women who are willing to be loyal to you!

Why do you recommend this?

All men like it. Analyze it yourself: They are very loyal and considerate to men, they sleep in vain, they spend their own money on abortions, they don’t care about their faces or their assets, and they rush to pay for their benefits. Then they are not happy?

Zhao Liying is obviously not this kind of person...

In this case, Shen Xudong said: "Give it to me!"

"You want her?"

"Well, I'm going to form my own team and need a few actors..."

Feng Xiaogang said nothing...

He is thinking.

In terms of relationship, he has a good relationship with Shen Xudong, but Huayi Brothers and Tianmei Media are essentially peers in the industry, and they must be competitive!

But...he is not from Huayi Brothers, he is the boss of Taihe Mining Company.

Besides, Zhao Liying is not even a newcomer - the ratings of "Yahoo Star Search" are extremely low, and there is basically no influence...

so…

"Sure, I can promise you this!"

"Thank you very much, Uncle Feng...

"Little things..." Feng Xiaogang suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I heard that Jackie Chan's new movie is doing well at the box office!"

Shen Xudong nodded: "...Well, I estimate it will have a box office of 200 million!"

"You also wrote the script?"

"The script is not important, the important thing is the actors. Sammo Hung + Jackie Chan, they really have appeal!"

…

It's about "Glory of the Tang Dynasty".

The film was released on July 7, with a box office of 78 million in the first weekend, and more than 90 million in the second week...

It is about to exceed 200 million.

Yes, another phenomenal movie!

And it’s still a phenomenon level immediately following “The Stone”…

Shocked everyone inside and outside the circle...

"Fearless" only broke 100 million, but Jackie Chan's appeal is so powerful?

So why didn’t last year’s “Myth” break 100 million?

Well, they are all touting the appeal of Sammo Hung + Jackie Chan...

Not many people pay attention to screenwriters...

It's normal. Who is the screenwriter of "Myth" and who is the screenwriter of "Plan A"?

In Jackie Chan movies, everyone only pays attention to Jackie Chan, and everyone else is supporting...

Of course, this is also related to Shen Xudong's relatively low profile recently. He has been busy with private equity funds recently. Apart from posting a blog, he has not participated in the promotion of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" at all.

But Feng Xiaogang knew how powerful Shen Xudong was: "Scripts are better...scripts, scripts, the basis of a play..."

Shen Xudong was delighted: "The screenwriter is important, and the script is important. Every producer I met said this. But they all said it in words, but in fact, they didn't care."

"You can't say that..."

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "The screenwriter is really not important. Let's use an analogy. Will any audience say: Screenwriter XX has released a new work. His work is very good. Let's go and see it?"

Feng Xiaogang was silent for a moment, but before he could speak, Shen Xudong continued: "So, I want to be a producer!"

"Your logic is wrong. It is the responsibility of the film studio to attach importance to the screenwriter, and all the audience can do is judge the plot!"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "It's still a matter of status. Korean producers and producers are usually screenwriters, and the same goes for American TV series... I've been to the filming set of "Prison Break", and the person sitting behind the monitor is not the director but the screenwriter!"

"I am also a screenwriter..."

"I'll just say a few words..." Shen Xudong changed the subject: "After "The Night Banquet", do you want to shoot "Mobile Phone 2"?"

Feng Xiaogang nodded: "Well...actually I would rather film "1942"..."

"...In two years, if you want to shoot, I will invest!"

1942 was a year full of major events: the Battle of Stalingrad started, the turning point of World War II, Ms. Mei Ling’s visit to the United States, Gandhi’s hunger strike, Chick’s cold...

It seems that everything is more important than the "eating" problem in Henan that killed millions of people.

Feng Xiaogang looked up at Shen Xudong and said sincerely: "Thank you!"
