Chapter 444, Vanity Fair
Vanity Fair is a competitive field
The seniors occupy 80% of the resources, and the privileged and noble circles occupy 80% of the resources, such as the Beijing circle, the CCTV circle, the Xiangjiang circle, and the newly rising Shanghai circle.
In fact, the number of hills in China is far from that small. It’s just that the hills in other places are too niche.
Like the mountains in the northeast, Zhao Benshan has been cultivating deeply since he faded away from the sketch direction, and one day he will rise in the future. But even if he rises, will his mountains be comparable to those of others?
Is it comparable to Jingyang Xiangjiang and Shanghai Circle?
Still can't compare
It will be difficult for latecomers to challenge the former.
Just like it is difficult for the Chinese film and television industry to challenge Hollywood's status.
It is difficult for the upper-level circles to shake their status by the lower-level circles.
Looking around the world, this benchmark can be observed.
Even if these circles are ‘old’, they can still control the most resources
"I admire your previous style of play, but it's enough now. You have to choose between dignity and reality."
Jiang Wen persuaded him earnestly.
He always thought that the reason why Li Yun insisted on not joining any fixed circle was probably because of dignity? arrogant?
A type of reason.
Jiang Wen also understands this way of survival, so he can understand this way of survival.
It's enough to get here.
Jiang Wen, who was once unruly, is now a part of the Beijing circle.
"I know, but I have my own reasons."
Li Yun said slowly.
Joining a circle is very fatal to yourself.
Physically 'fatal'.
There is no way to arbitrarily choose your own projects and focus on the movies and TV series you shoot. You can only play "resource exchange" in the circle.
Then he really became a friendly person, a "friend" person, making movies not for good works, but for the sake of favors in the circle and the circulation of interests.
Art has become such a thing.
As a person in the film and television industry, Li Yun was unwilling.
As someone who is seeking to survive, Li Yun is not willing either.
"So, sorry."
"Well I knew you would answer that."
Jiang Wen patted Li Yun on the shoulder, smiled and said: "But it doesn't matter. With your ability, you can always get this meal."
Screenwriter, director, actor.
A thousand words can be said, but Jiang Wenhua can only say one sentence.
"You were born to do this."
At this moment, on the other side of the courtyard in the capital.
Gathered here are all the children of the ‘Grand Courtyard’, which is also the core of the Beijing circle. They gather together on such a few days every month.
It is also for the purpose of exchanging resources, exchanging consultation, and also talking about romance.
"That Li Yun, isn't he willing to join our Beijing circle? What a pity." At this moment, Zhang Mouzi expressed his 'pity' that the young talent was unwilling to come to his circle.
"Yes! He is really talented. If he is willing to come, I will be willing to give him the script of "Old Pao". I can be an actor myself or not a director."
Ma Xiaogang slapped his thigh, and he felt really pity.
He admired Li Yun's talents very much. For people with such talents, he felt thirsty for money.
"People look down on us in Beijing. What can we do? Fortunately, he relied on our resources in Beijing to get up."
Zhang Mouzi said calmly: "I am a wolf in Zhongshan. He will run rampant when he succeeds. Don't feel sorry. Even if he is willing to join us this time, he can defect in the future. This is his nature."
"Okay, the operation of the circle does not rely on one person. Even if Li Modu is now closer to the CCTV side, will it have any impact on us? His role model of the times has become a castle in the air."
At this time, Lu Haishi pondered.
The boss of the ‘Group of Seven’ in Beijing
He didn't care about Li Yun's affairs - no matter how talented a person was, there were limits.
It's impossible for him to suppress the entire entertainment industry with just one movie or TV series.
As long as he couldn't do this, his existence was nothing to worry about for Lu Haishi, who held key resources.
Resources are more important than talent.
This is his code, and it is precisely because of this code that Beijing Circle can be managed to such a large scale.
"Since he's not coming, there's nothing more to say."
At this moment, Zhang Mouzi was looking at the "boss" of the resource circle.
Li Yun's matter was just an insignificant matter in today's gathering.
At least it sounds trivial.
The important thing today is to consider the next plans, such as the cooperation between the Beijing circle and the Hollywood circle.
The Great Wall and Mulan.
Zhang Mouzi is the main operator of this resource.
"Okay, let's talk about these things another day. I'm going home to catch up on TV series." At this time, Lu Haishi smiled slightly.
"Do you still have such a good mood?" Ma Xiaogang looked at Lu Haishi. He didn't expect that the boss had such a good mood.
"Although I have taken a back seat, I am still engaged in artistic work. I will always have works that I like and are interested in."
For an old guy like Lu Haishi, one work is full of infinite charm.
That is the heroic epic of the Three Kingdoms era.
That is the work that I will always like no matter what position I reach.
It looks good and can give people inspiration.
It is something that all men in Lu Haishi's family like from childhood to adulthood.
They all like the work as always.
This is an excellent work that has been polished by the baptism of time.
The heroic epic of the four great classics.
Compared with the film industry, the attention of the TV industry is not very high, although Lu Haishi and his team also started their careers with the TV series "Stories from the Editorial Department".
It's just that their energy is limited.
The real money and influence of the movie box office are probably better.
"New Three Kingdoms, I don't know what kind of results they can achieve this time."
"I heard that the Shanghai industry has also invested a lot this time. It has specially created two TV series with big female protagonists."
Lu Haishi said this time.
For these old Beijing circles, the composition of the Shanghai industry is not much different from that of the nouveau riche. It's just that the nouveau riche of the year found a different way, a way that they didn't even bother to do before.
They have made achievements.
It's also impressive.
Nowadays, the Shanghai circle has not yet entered the core film field, but it has its own place in TV series.
Especially for young audiences.
For female audiences.
It is basically equivalent to taking away a large number of ratings.
This is also a very interesting point.
The demand for TV series by male audiences is decreasing, and the demand of female audiences is increasing instead.
And the Shanghai circle has grasped this point, which can be regarded as grasping the pulse of the times.
And the few male audiences, they can't all be captured by the new three kingdoms.
What's more, this time the new three kingdoms is not without completely benchmarked opponents.
At this moment in the magic city.
Wang Jinghua is drinking tea with Tang Min. This time, Wang Jinghua took the initiative to find Tang Min.
Not in a private capacity, but in a public capacity.
Today's Shanghai circle is getting bigger and bigger in TV series, and Tang Min, as the head of Tangren and the head of the Shanghai circle, also has a vague feeling of becoming a giant.
This time, her arrival is actually to discuss TV series.
An opportunity for win-win cooperation.
Tang Min certainly welcomed this, after all, it was not the first time they had worked together.
The male lead of "Palace" was from the Beijing circle.
"CCTV circle is old, it feels a bit greasy, it always feels like a group of old and young people are in control, and the works they shoot are also old and unbearable."
At this time, Wang Jinghua made a sharp comment on CCTV circle.
A circle that prides itself on inheritance and orthodoxy.
The works they shoot.
In fact, they all have a sense of decadence.
Maybe they themselves don't have this feeling.
But as an observer, from Wang Jinghua's perspective, the works of CCTV circle are not as vital as those of Shanghai circle.
The feeling that young audiences like.
is incomparable to others.
"The old dog still has three teeth, I am looking forward to the performance of the new Three Kingdoms this time. However, since ancient times, remakes have inevitably been evaluated as favoring the past over the present, and it is difficult to be truly judged fairly."
Tang Min smiled slightly at this time.
Things like remakes are themselves a way to make money from the past.
Time and again, the leftovers from the past are turned out.
This is not such a good thing in itself.
At least for a circle.
This is not such a good thing.
This means that new creativity has been lost.
Therefore, in the Shanghai circle, Tang Min set a rule for himself that he cannot remake works that have already been filmed.
It is one thing to respect the past and despise the present, but new things can never replace old memories.
The first time you see it is always the best.
Even if there may be more or less flaws when you first see it.
Since the advent of television as a medium, there has never been a time when a remake beats the first-time work.
Like the Jin Yong dramas that have been filmed for a long time, most of the original versions remain in people's minds.
Like Zhang Da Huzi, who can find different tracks to study.
There are always a few who can play different advantages.
Most remakes will only get evaluations that are worse than the previous generation.
This is common sense, this is the truth.
However, the theme of the Three Kingdoms, although it is a remake, this work has an unusually long vitality, which means that the soul of this work is very tenacious.
It can withstand the test of remake.
This time it can also get a lot of ratings, but compared with the decrease in male audiences.
The ratings this time.
After all, it will only be lower than his two works.
However, Tang Min had to admit that this kind of work is easier to win awards, but that's it.
At this time.
Wang Jinghua suddenly sighed again.
"This time, the new Three Kingdoms has suffered a lot of hardships. The controversy over the choice of roles at the time was somewhat controversial, and it was a remake of a work with a Douban score of 9.1."
"I just think that neither of your two TV series can give them a fatal blow. But I know that there is a work that can give them a fatal blow."
It is not also a work from CCTV.
"Journey to the West".
The rebroadcast of Journey to the West was unexpected.
Its target audience and coverage points have a slight overlap with the Three Kingdoms, but not much.
Teenagers will like Journey to the West more.
And middle-aged and middle-aged people will like the Three Kingdoms theme more.
This is a theme preference that has been investigated in many places.
Most of the female characters in TV dramas aimed at middle-aged people are elegant and majestic, while in Shanghai circles where teenagers are the audience, young, beautiful and pure girls are mostly used.
Good looks and temperament, great acting skills.
There are many elements targeted at audiences in different fields.
This time, the New Three Kingdoms has hit the right target for male audiences.
Or middle-aged and older male viewers.
The audience has already been determined.
But now, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared. Journey to the West is also one of the four famous classics. Even six-year-old children came out to promote this TV series.
It feels like eating cold rice.
In fact, this is a kind of fried rice, but the cold rice of Journey to the West can continue to be fried, and it can continue to be fried in different postures.
Who says the new ones are better than the old ones?
Journey to the West is an example. No matter what version it is, it cannot compare to the CCTV version of Journey to the West for Liu Xiao Ling Tong.
No matter what version.
Even other TV dramas only dare to use it to do other things, such as Westward Journey, which is a very good example.
Originally, CCTV would never do such a thing, letting old works compete with new ones.
It shouldn't be.
"The Four Great Classics should never be remade. Remaking such an absolute classic will only insult the work."
The one who spoke at this time was Teacher Six.
Actors represented by him.
He will eat a grandson for a lifetime.
He just doesn't want a second grandchild to replace him.
The play is not nonsense, and the adaptation is not random fabrication. This is the wise saying he believes in.
Trusted principles.
As for why Monkey King is related to the Three Kingdoms, it is of course the Four Great Classics.
The New Three Kingdoms are like a mouth.
If the New Three Kingdoms is successful, will there be a new Journey to the West, a new Water Margin, and a new Dream of Red Mansions?
It won't work, it won't work.
The success of new things will inevitably replace old things. This is an eternal truth.
It is a principle that is always implemented.
He was very concerned and afraid.
I'm very afraid that this will happen to me.
So he didn't allow it.
Others have many reasons and reasons.
There are too many reasons.
For example, there are different factions within CCTV.
Each has its own interests.
Some people hope that the New Three Kingdoms will be born, because it represents new things and brand-new interests.
The main creators of Lao Sanguo are not in a hurry. This is the case with the Four Great Classics, but others are getting anxious.
And the reason is nothing more than joking and not nonsense.
Classics cannot be blasphemed, clichés like this.
But in fact, some people think this makes sense. Now that old classics are replayed every year, they can have stable profits and stable ratings.
Why do we have to make a new version?
The success of old classics is already very enviable. Why should we not eat good things but eat bad ones instead?
Incomprehensible, I don’t know what to say.
"The conservatives at CCTV have become so conservative that it's a bit disgusting. They actually think that resting on one's laurels is something to be proud of. When did our CCTV circle reach such a degenerate state?"
Far away on the other side, Lu Zhengguang, the leader of the Aerospace Army and the art troupe, was very disappointed with the current situation.
Replaying Journey to the West, this is obviously not a problem.
This TV series is rerun every year.
And each station has a rebroadcast quota. It can be said that as long as you watch TV, you can basically watch Journey to the West all year round.
But what is disappointing is that the internal attitude towards this is so ignorant.
Basically to prevent the birth of new things.
Let conservative interests perpetuate.
It's so sad and ridiculous.
Having grown old and not dying is a thief.
Lu Zhengguang was very lucky.
Fortunately, Li Yun was not forced to enter this circle, and fortunately, he was not forced to integrate.
I used to think that he was too arrogant for not staying in the same circle.
Now it seems that even if you join these old and immortal circles, you may not have much success.
At this moment, Lu Zhengguang murmured.
"Can we really do it without destroying or establishing?"
-
The announcement of the New Three Kingdoms has been going on for some time.
Gao Xinxin was very tired during this period.
After all, the announcement of a TV series is not that simple.
However, what made Gao Xinxin a little uncomfortable was that he was suddenly informed after the announcement had been going on for a while.
Yes, just notification notification.
Tell him something like this happened.
Informed without any wiggle room.
Gao Xinxin felt that she was ridiculous. I worked hard for my circle, gained ten pounds from overwork, and my white hair grew to the ends of my hair. I worked tirelessly and tirelessly to complete this work, but in the end I was stabbed in the back by my own circle.
"The birth of new things will inevitably represent the demise of old things. They struggle because of their interests and because they are unwilling to let go."
At this time, as Gao Xinxin's partner, producer Yang Xiaoming said what was taken for granted here: "This is what I thought of from the beginning, but I didn't expect that it was not the people from the Lao Sanguo group."
"Of course, if our film "New Three Kingdoms" is not good, there will be a lot of backlash from the seniors."
"I'm not afraid of that. If I'm bad, then I'm willing to be condemned, but it's a bit unreasonable to set a stumbling block for us."
Gao Xinxin can accept being crushed by ratings and word-of-mouth, but the only thing she can't accept is backlash like this.
But just like Yang Xiaoming said.
Maybe.
elements to the final decision.
It's just quality.
Gao Xinxin sorted out her mood.
Take a deep breath.
"Then let's meet the heroes of the Three Kingdoms. The new Three Kingdoms."
