China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 353: Movie and TV series records both topped the charts! New regrets?!

When Guan Ling’s interview came out, everyone in the television circle was dumbfounded!
at a loss.

Confused!

Originally, some people could still deceive themselves, but Guan Ling’s own statement completely put an end to the matter.

The entire television industry is down.

Blasted.

This taught the television industry a complete lesson.

Wang Jinghua looked at Zhu Yawen and said, "You are really good, this TV series is so great, you didn't tell me anything about it, right?"

"I'm really just a guest star." Zhu Yawen was also confused. "I was shocked by this news."

Wang Jinghua said, "Although you have fewer movies with Director Guan recently, you can still take on TV series. To maintain the popularity, as long as it is related to Director Guan, you should put in some effort."

"it is good."

Zhu Yawen hummed, he was still a little dumbfounded.

After the news came out, he was skeptical. He mostly believed it, but was also confused.

This time, he felt numb from his neck to his heels.

"What kind of TV show did I film?!"

Thinking back to Jiang Wei’s smile on the set, Zhu Yawen suddenly got goosebumps!
……

When Yang Mi saw the message.

People were a little confused. Zeng Jia read the news to Yang Mi word by word.
"what do you want to say in the end?"

Yang Mi asked curiously.

“Lingyun Media is currently filming three TV series. It is said that the screenwriters of the two given to you are not Director Guan.

The TV series "The Beginning" for Nazha is said to be written by Director Guan himself.

What I want to tell you is that perhaps your importance in Director Guan’s heart has declined.”

"No way!"

After hearing what Zeng Jia said, Yang Mi suddenly felt a chill on her back and her heart shuddered.

"Director Guan, you won't deny your mistake even if your pants are pulled up, right?"

"Ah?" Zeng Jia didn't hear clearly.

"I said Director Guan told me before that I would have opportunities in future movies as well."

Yang Mi was picking her fingers. She was actually a little nervous at this time.

When Guan Ling was being affectionate with her, the two of them exchanged a lot of things, and Director Guan always said "yeah".

Yang Mi thought her words had reached his heart.

It was as if he had also walked into his own inner self.

But at this moment, all the news on the Internet focused on Lingyun Media's TV series. Yang Mi learned from Zeng Jia that the screenwriter of the two TV series she was about to shoot was not Director Guan.

At least the signature is not Director Guan.

The gap narrowed in an instant.

"Then you have to talk to Director Guan about it," Zeng Jia patted Yang Mi on the shoulder and comforted her.

“Director Guan has something in his stomach.

Even a casual TV series can create such a sensational sales record.

There is probably no one else like him in the industry.

And you, too, have to get nervous now. Hurry up and join the crew, hurry up and shoot, hurry up and become popular.

Only when you become popular can I make money. "

When Yang Mi heard Zeng Jia's words, she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

She just nodded woodenly.

"I will explain it to Director Guan."

"Yes, let's communicate well and talk nicely." Zeng Jia was very pleased.

……

And at this time.

The exchanges between CCTV and Shandong Satellite TV are still ongoing.

Since Jin Liang was quite tough, the head of CCTV's TV channel went directly to Shandong Province to meet with Lu Peng.

Shanying, Chairman’s Office.

"Director Lu, we came here with full sincerity. CCTV is determined to get this TV series."

“You can actually offer a high price.”

Lu Peng sat in his office chair, looking at the two people who came. He spoke politely, but it was a bit irritating.

"We have currently paid a high price to secure the first broadcast rights for this drama. If you are willing, we will sell you the second and third broadcast rights later."

These words made the two CCTV executives look at each other in silence.

They did offer a high price, but... it wasn't high enough!
No one could have imagined that Shandong would go crazy and offer such a high price!
"This was indeed an accident," said the person in charge of CCTV 1. "Director Guan only gave us one chance for the quotation contract, and we didn't expect it."

"Director Guan has said that if CCTV wants to take over, they must come to talk to you, Mr. Lu. So, aren't we here this time? We came with full sincerity."

he continued.

"So, I think Mr. Lu can negotiate with us. I know that Mr. Lu spent 250 million yuan in real money for this play. And it only has the TV broadcast rights, while the Internet broadcast rights are in the hands of Lingyun Media.

As for the advertising fees and the granting of secondary and tertiary broadcasting rights, the price that Shandong Province will ask for in the future will probably not be very high.

Therefore, it will be quite difficult for Shandong Province to make its investment back.

In this case, why can't we premiere this TV series together with CCTV? After all, Shandong TV's audience is difficult to radiate to other provinces, while CCTV can.

For this, Yangyi is even willing to pay more than half the price.”

When the person in charge of CCTV-8 heard this, he quit and looked very unhappy. He was about to drink tea, but then he put his teacup on the table and looked at Lu Peng.

"Mr. Lu, CCTV Channel 8, the same thing."

Lu Peng didn't say anything and thought for a while.

He actually knew very well that although he gritted his teeth and let Jin Liang obtain the copyright of the TV series, the right to broadcast it online was not in his hands after all.

Moreover, in the past two years, online video has also been developing.

If you can’t cash out quickly, there are risks.

Although Shanying had made a lot of money from investing in Guan Ling's movies before, this time they directly lost more than 200 million yuan, which was stressful for them.

What CCTV proposed is not completely unacceptable.

"Our Shandong TV station has actually never been ranked high in TV station rankings in recent years."

Lu Peng said, "You should know that this time, Shandong TV has the best chance to enter the top five, or even the top three. Even if the price is a little higher, it is not unacceptable.

Although we cannot reach too many surrounding provinces, as long as there is cable TV, you can probably search for our station.

In this way, we may be able to create a new high in ratings this time.

Advertising costs will naturally rise as well.

This is the closest opportunity for us in SD Province to become one of the top TV stations..."

"I know, but if it fails, there are still risks..."

"Of course, I also understand how much CCTV values ​​this drama. I heard from Director Jin that this is a TV series that may influence people's values. For CCTV, this TV series is also of great significance. After all, CCTV is also affiliated with our superior department, and our Shandong TV, as a war-ready provincial TV station, has been doing things according to the opinions of the superiors over the years."

Lu Peng said, "But this time we have really made all the preparations. The emergence of Director Guan in Shandong Province is a progress for the entire art development industry in Shandong Province. The TV series written by Director Guan, the record-breaking TV series, is the key to the rise of Shandong TV Station, and it is also a symbol of the development of our Shanying..."

The two CCTV executives felt a chill in their hearts.
It seems there is no chance.

Lu Peng did come up with a sudden turn of events, but what he said made the two responsible persons feel painful.

“So, you have to pay more.”…

The news about Guan Ling's "Awakening Age" breaking the record of Chinese TV dramas continues.

A newer piece of news has completely shut up everyone in the television industry about this matter.

"After negotiations with Shanying Group and Shandong TV, "Awakening Age" will be jointly premiered by CCTV-8 and Shandong TV!"

Then, more details suddenly emerged.

"For this, CCTV-8 paid a high price of nearly 150 million yuan."

As soon as the news came out, many people thought that Lingyun Media suffered a loss.

Guan Ling certainly knew that he had suffered a little loss, but he didn't care that much. The reason why he contacted Jin Liang to discuss this matter before was that he really wanted to develop Shandong TV.

After all, it’s my hometown.

But now Shanying has chosen to share with CCTV, and Guan Ling has no major objection.

Now, the online broadcasting rights are in our hands, which will be of great use in the next two years.

Guan Ling understood that Shanying wanted CCTV to share the risk with him, but he also felt a little disappointed with the company. With this arrangement, Shandong TV had little room for improvement.

This incident did not shake Guan Ling's mind much.

But it caused an uproar in the industry.

A drama that was premiered on two TV stations, and CCTV spent 150 million? !
Absolutely!

By this calculation, the TV series hasn't even attracted investment, and hasn't even been aired, but this middleman from Shandong has already made 25 million yuan?
Many TV stations have green eyes!
This is too exciting.

Many TV stations previously criticized Shandong Satellite TV, saying that it was disrupting market prices and betraying the united front.

This is to let the TV station serve as a dog for the producers.

This is a step backward in history.

But at this moment, everyone was stunned.

Mango TV, it was said that the director held a meeting, slammed the table and broke it into pieces.

My palm was also cut and I went to the hospital.

Chongqing Satellite TV, as the first TV station to broadcast "Chinese Paladin III", made a lot of money. After this incident, the person in charge of the TV channel was directly transferred, and he took a lot of blame.

The director of CCTV-1's TV channel is also said to be unhappy.

It is said that he went to the person in charge of CCTV-8 and scolded him.

It is said that the person in charge of CCTV-8 is a traitor.

Although I said I would pay more, you added nearly 30 million. Are you crazy?!
But things finally come to an end.

……

At this moment, "Inception" has been released for half a month, and the box office has reached 940 million.

There are only tens of millions left to break the billion mark.

The news about this movie in the media has once again swept the industry.

"The first movie directed by a Chinese director to break the billion-dollar mark? Guan Ling has taken the movie box office to a new height?! Is the box office record of "Avatar" about to be broken?!"

"As the record holder for Chinese directors' box office success, the record holder for the price of Chinese TV series sold, and the record holder for Chinese global awards, what is the limit for Director Guan?"

"The global box office has exceeded $2012 million. Inception is approaching the box office record set by Guan's ."

Everyone is waiting.

Waiting for Director Guan to break the record.

When it comes to TV dramas, everyone has been confused these days.

When it comes to movies, everyone's emotions are actually relatively calm.

Guan Ling’s movies always take the industry by storm, but people keep seeing the same old thing over and over again, so we’ve gotten used to it.

But for some reason, everyone was actually feeling excited.

Perhaps it is Guan Ling’s expectation to defeat Cameron, or perhaps it is his expectation for domestic films.

People's emotions are actually quite complicated.

Whether they are enemies or friends, they all have special feelings about Guan Ling breaking this box office record.

At this point, many big directors have basically accepted this fact.

Guan Ling, this young boy, is now the number one film director in China.

Although there is some resentment and resentment in my heart.

But compared to the fact that the Chinese box office record is occupied by Cameron, an outsider, they hope that Guan Ling can create a new miracle.

Can be covered by dark clouds.

But at least it has to be our own dark cloud.

It is a dark cloud for these great directors, but it may also be a bright sun for China and young directors.

And as time goes by.

On the penultimate day of July, "Inception" finally broke the billion box office mark!
For a time, the industry was shocked!
Liu Yifei, You Benchang and others all cried with joy when they were interviewed.

You Benchang really didn't expect that at the age of 77, he could crush most young actors with just two movies.

And in just two months.

His box office ranking just soared up like a rocket.

Liu Yifei was excited about herself. She had already taken the lead by a huge margin and became the undisputed number one Chinese female star at the box office!

Her commercial value is undoubtedly the first among Chinese actresses.

When many female stars are discussing their film pay or endorsement fees, they will say something if the client is not satisfied.

"You think you are Liu Yifei?"

This made Liu Yifei the nightmare of countless female stars in China.

……

And on July 7th.

A new piece of news suddenly came out.

The film list for the 67th Venice International Film Festival has been announced.

There are 22 films shortlisted for the main competition unit, and no Chinese-language films were selected.

Last year's jury chairman was still Ang Lee.

The changes this year are so great that the industry can't help but feel a little regretful.

As for Japan, "13 Assassins" and "Norwegian Wood" were both selected for the main competition. The former is a remake of an old classic movie, and the latter is a new youth film adapted from Haruki Murakami's novel.

Although other East Asian and Southeast Asian directors don't have it either.

But this news did give Japanese movie fans who have been cursing Guan Ling recently an outlet to vent.

"Didn't Guan claim to be the best Chinese director? How come he hasn't even been to the Venice Film Festival? Don't you want to?"

"Plagiarists can buy off Cannes, but they can't buy off Venice or Berlin. Plagiarists can't buy off all three major film festivals!"

"The Chinese film industry, led by the No. 1 Chinese-language filmmaker, has only one Chinese-language film, Jiabiangou, at Venice Film Festival, and it did not even make it into the main competition unit. He is truly a great leader."

For a time, there were countless mocking voices in Japan.

Although Chinese movie fans will not be emotionally carried away by the calls for a simple life, many of them can't help feeling regretful.

But things are changing fast.

Shortly after the film list was announced.

Venice officially announced the invited guests for this year's Venice International Film Festival, and Chinese directors Guan Ling and Wu Baige are on the list.

For a moment, netizens were all happy.
