China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 360 You are arrogant, you are amazing!

Tuanhuo Culture wanted to make a TV series, and "Fights Beyond the Sphere" was like a depth bomb, which shocked the entire public opinion and the film and television industry.

In fact, filming a TV series is not shocking. What is shocking is that it costs 600 million per episode. What is shocking is that it is shot with the quality standards of American TV series. What is shocking is the Asian casting.

A fellow traveler seemed to understand something and sighed: "He Fang moves so fast. Sometimes we clearly see an opportunity but have been studying it, but others have already taken action. No wonder we lag behind."

At the same time, because Tuanhuo Culture was going to film "Fight Breaking the Sphere", many TV stations suddenly rushed to cooperate with Tuanhuo Culture.

For example, Mango TV immediately found Ho Fang and said it would invest in co-production and hoped to become the only satellite TV broadcast in China.

However, He Fang did not agree immediately, but only stated a few conditions for them to consider.

First, there must be no interference in the production of TV series. Don't talk about casting, plot, etc. Even if the filming of TV series is stopped or failed, no interference is allowed.

The second is not to interfere with the right to publicize and distribute the TV series. Whether to sell it to Mango TV exclusively will be decided after several rounds of bidding after the TV series is produced.

The third is to participate in the bidding for the first broadcast, without buying ratings or making monthly payments for six months.

With these three conditions, Director Zhang of Mango Station was speechless for a moment.

"Director He, you put such harsh conditions on our relationship? Isn't that bad?" Director Zhang was not only speechless but also a little angry.

"Director Zhang, I'm not forcing you. Also, I don't want to be controlled by others before the filming of the TV series starts. In fact, I don't need other people's investment and participation. If the conditions are more stringent, there will be no outsider participation.

In addition, I want to overturn not only the way TV series are produced, but also the way TV series are purchased.The method of buying ratings and delaying payment has restricted the development of TV dramas. In my opinion, this rule is not good and must be changed.

Therefore, Director Zhang, this is why I put forward these conditions. "He Fang told him honestly.

"But this is not just Mango Channel, but all TV stations. If you want to challenge this rule, aren't you afraid that TV stations across the country will not buy your TV series?" Director Zhang asked.

"It doesn't matter if you don't buy it. It's okay if all the TV stations across the country don't buy it. I'll put it online and watch it for free. I only deal with overseas markets. Also, do you believe that you can build a TV station yourself? My TV station will not have these rules in the future. "

He Fang's words surprised Director Zhang. In the past, He Fang was engaged in life and death in the film industry, and they thought it was nothing to watch the excitement.

Now He Fang wants to enter the television industry. This really shows how brave and terrifying He Fang's actions are.

"If you do this, TV stations across the country will boycott it," Director Zhang said.

"It's okay. I can unite all TV drama production companies across the country to boycott the TV station." He Fang said nonchalantly.

"He Fang, there are many things behind this that are not subversive as you think. The interests involved behind this... there are some things that you don't understand at all. Do you think we are willing to let TV drama producers buy ratings? That money It’s not like we make any money. Although the ratings determine our price with advertisers, we don’t like this kind of manipulated fate.

Have you ever thought about how advertisers know how much their ads are worth?It all depends on the ratings.The agreements we have signed with many TV drama producers are also based on ratings and tiered prices. After all, the agreements we sign with advertisers are also tiered values.Therefore, both parties will anchor a reference standard, which is the ratings.

That is to say, the amount of our advertising revenue is determined by the ratings, and the amount of revenue the producers earn from selling films is also determined by the ratings.And how to sell TV series at a high price and increase advertising revenue for TV stations?Then we have to let the producers buy ratings, and it will be good for them as well as for us.

In this way, buying ratings has become an unspoken rule.I explained it this way to Director He, you should understand, right?Do you want to change this rule and change it as soon as you say it?Unless you have something to replace the ratings, advertisers, TV stations, and producers can jointly believe that the broadcast of TV series brings much communication value to advertisers, so that they are willing to pay accordingly.And our TV station is also willing to pay corresponding money to the producers. "

Following Director Zhang's explanation, although He Fang thought he knew the routine, He Fang understood it as soon as Director Zhang explained the interest relationship.

Isn't this the role of the US dollar in the world? Ratings are equivalent to the US dollar in the television industry.The standard for both trading parties is to use US dollars to calculate prices. Therefore, when the US dollar interest rates drop, everyone's prices will increase. If the US dollar interest rates increase, everyone's products will fall in price.

Dollars are like ratings, they don't produce the goods, but they get the most out of it.

Why can they profit so easily?It is because they are anchors. Without them, no one can conduct trade. This is the basis for them to make profits easily.

"Okay, Director Zhang, thank you for clarifying my doubts, but my conditions will not change. You can think about it, or you can wait until we finish filming the TV series before bidding." He Fang still won't give in.

Because he knew that Sofret was a French company, and then used its position as an anchor to easily control the fate of TV stations, advertisers, and producers in China.

At the same time, it can also control certain trends. After all, the three parties are based on ratings, so the ratings will indicate which direction the audience likes.

Letting a French company control certain trends in Chinese TV... nothing will change. However, he knows that not many people will watch TV in the future, basically in the era of mobile Internet.

Therefore, tilting towards mobile Internet will be the direction.

How about just using this TV series to detonate online platforms this time?Will Maoyan, Youku, Xigua, and iQiyi premiere at the same time?

This is more or less a plan. Let’s not think about it for now and wait until it is filmed.

Of course, in addition to Mango Channel calling He Fang, major TV stations such as Zhejiang Channel and Oriental Channel also called He Fang, and even CCTV called He Fang.

What TV station wouldn’t want a big-production TV series, and the IP is so popular?Want it all.

But He Fang's conditions made these TV stations retreat. They were too harsh and some things were really impossible.

A TV station spends money and can't even fit in a character?Can’t even go to the scene?Can't even see how the money is spent?If you don’t buy the ratings, you are not allowed to owe money.

Damn it, where are you with diamonds?So arrogant?Do you think you are a proud gun sister?
He Fang's harsh conditions and the actors who were hotly discussed by netizens on the Internet made reporters block He Fang like sharks smelling blood. This is all news.

"Director He Fang, I heard that you have put forward harsh conditions to many TV stations. Each TV station said that if you act like this, you will not be able to sell TV series. What do you think?"

"Director He Fang, there is a lot of discussion on the Internet about the casting of various actors. The most popular ones are Tang Dynasty Shixian and Zhao Liying. Who do you think is the most suitable among them?"

"Director He Fang..."

He Fang waved his hand, signaling for Da to stop. "What you said about the TV station is indeed like this. My conditions are very harsh because I told them. In the future, the rules of TV dramas must be changed, and they can no longer be the same as before. An investment of 3000 million in a movie and TV series, and advertisers To designate actors, the TV station asked to buy ratings. The producer, as the filming party, finally found that the 3000 million budget had to be spent on hiring the stars designated by the advertiser to buy ratings, and then only less than 1000 million was left to make the film.

Would this make a good TV series?Look at the quality of our TV series. Apart from front and back shots and a full shot, what else is there?In order to keep up with the schedule, I bought a page a day and shot an episode in four days. I just watched the actors chatter for a long time and then the episode was over.

Is this a TV show?Is this called a radio drama?You can understand what the TV is talking about without watching it or listening to it.The quality of such TV series must change in the way of the TV series industry. If it remains unchanged, the TV series industry will not progress.

So, I put forward some harsh conditions.Of course, in my opinion, those are not harsh conditions, they can only be called bringing the TV drama industry back to normal. "

When He Fang said this, he took out a cigarette and lit it.

"As for the cast that you asked about that is hotly discussed online, I have never seen it and I don't care about it. However, I can say clearly that our show does not need traditional TV actors. Since there are requirements for quality, then for The requirements for acting skills are also very high.

I suggest these actors stop coming to auditions. They only pout when they act coquettishly, frown when they are angry, roar when they quarrel, and shed tears when they are sad.I can’t ride a horse, I can’t draw a bow, I can’t hold a woman in my arms, I dance like a sword, I fly like I’ve been on my acupuncture points, I just act cool, I don’t want to ruin my image, I don’t do dirty scenes, some actors don’t want to Talking about the lines is good, but even memorizing the lines is difficult. When I get to the set, I will read the lines 12345. Some of them use a stand-in at every turn. The most they show their faces is that they have eight assistants on the set, and they act like celebrities one after another.

Wait, these TV drama actors should not come to audition, because you will not be selected even if you audition. Then you will be very embarrassed. Later, in order to save face, you will scold our crew for not relying on their ability to use backdoors, hidden rules, etc.

Of course, if you are not afraid of embarrassment and insist on auditioning for some actors, we also welcome them. At least you still want to improve yourself. "After He Fang finished speaking, he waved to everyone, then got in the car and left.

The reporters stopped stopping him because the two questions he answered were enough to generate news.

One is He Fang revealing the secrets of the TV drama industry and challenging the rules of the TV drama industry, the other is denounced the TV drama actors for being unprofessional.

Look, it’s all very explosive news, so don’t go overboard, just two.

So, when these two answers from He Fang appeared on the Internet, they immediately became a hot search topic.

"He Fang, you are noble and great. You break the rules of the TV industry with one hand and want to break the rules of the TV industry with the other. How many people will want to crush you to ashes because of this."

"He Fang, you have achieved so much, why do you still need to make a fuss? People usually retire after they succeed. Do you want to succeed one after another? Be careful that you say you will lose your life. .”

"Fuck, is the TV drama industry so dark? I'm wondering why the TV dramas nowadays are not as good as before. It turns out that all the money is used to hire big-name actors and buy ratings. How can there be good quality?"

"He Fang, you are a real hero and a real tiger. You dare to poke at anything."

"Finally, someone dares to lift the lid. Good job. If it is opened, everyone will not have to suffer. Otherwise, you will always think that the producers are taking the money. In fact, there are many people who are taking the money."

"Tsk, as an industry insider, I really admire He Fang's courage."

"Perhaps in this industry, only He Fang has the qualifications and ability to lift the lid. If He Fang can use voting to do big things, I must vote for him. Internationally, he should speak principles and stand, and domestically, he should be dedicated to the industry. Development eliminates shortcomings, and such people are truly good people who serve the country and the people."

"Unfortunately, good people are going to be besieged, so we can foresee that good people are going to be unlucky."

"No, we have to protect good people, and we can't let good people suffer all the time."

"Protect good people..."

……

"He Fang, you said that about TV drama actors. Are you trying to offend the entire TV drama actor circle? How can you let everyone mess around?"

"Haha... He Fang's description of the actors in the TV series is really accurate and funny. He can't ride a horse, can't draw a bow, can't hold a girl, can't remember his lines, and uses a stand-in for acting. I really think this sums it up well. In place. Today's TV drama actors...well, it's hard to describe them in one word."

"I think what He Fang said about TV dramas now being like radio dramas is really apt. I was watching TV at home and my mother was washing dishes. I wanted to change the channel but my mother stopped me. She said she could hear her washing dishes in the kitchen. I Come on, this is really a radio drama."

"What He Fang said is really cruel. Who would dare to go to the audition if he said that? Then wouldn't all the Tang poetry fairies stop going?"

"Hmph, I want to see how this TV series will be filmed by He Fang and what kind of show their actors will perform in the end."

"I think He Fang did the right thing. In recent years, TV dramas have been almost dominated by Tang Shiying. It's time to introduce some newcomers. We can't let a few of them dominate the screen, and the others will have no chance to succeed."

"Bite it, bite it, bite it. I just like to watch the entertainment industry fight against each other. It's good to watch. It's better than movies and TV shows."

……

Netizens are very enthusiastic about it, and in fact, agents are also very enthusiastic about chatting with each other in the agent group.

For example, the agent of a certain popular little flower asked the agent of another little flower: "Is so-and-so in your family going to audition?"

"Everyone in our family won't be able to go. We are too busy, and the schedule has been postponed to the year after next. Although it is not a top-level resource like "The Sky", it is still a drama that several TV stations have already ordered."

"Oh, that's right. I really envy your resources."

"Where's the one at your house? Do you want to go?"

"We won't go either. I heard that the major TV stations have been offended by someone, so our family will not offend the TV stations. Although we have the strength, resources are more important."

"Well, what I'm saying is, it's better not to mess with the TV station."

Many agents lurking in the agent group are secretly amused. Who has the resources to worry about offending the TV station?Where can I get the resources to immediately go global, and are I still afraid of offending the TV station?

Therefore, everyone is actually secretly gearing up and waiting for the casting of "Fighter".

The crew of "Break the Sphere" has not yet been established. Tuanhuo Culture replied that these agents will not make public casting decisions until the script is written and the director is confirmed, and will not be decided in advance.
