China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

In July, South Korean singer Psy released the song "Gangnam Style" on the Internet, and the song became an instant hit in South Korea.

Then it swept overseas in an extremely shocking way.

At the same time, "The Voice of China" is like a big bowl of cool and delicious ice cream, which suddenly crashes into everyone's heart.

"The draft is dying" is a topic that the media has been talking about for many years.

After the hit "Super Girl" in 2005, talent shows have been considered to be "lacking in succession".

In this year when talent shows have been heavily criticized, voices of vulgarity, deliberateness, and exploitation of contestants have been heard one after another.

Mango TV was directly ordered by the authorities to stop hosting all talent shows.

After eight years, the "Avenue of Stars" is gradually declining.
"China's Got Talent" and "China's Dream Show" are not thriving either.

Until the emergence of "The Voice of China", when the entire talent show variety market was at its end, Zhejiang Satellite TV learned from the Dutch program "The Voice of Holland" and tried to create a high-end talent show with the setting of "Turning for you".

And it quickly captured a large number of audiences at lightning speed.

It is not difficult to see from the TV programs that the sound quality of Good Voice is first-class.

In addition, the performance of the mentors in the show also made the audience talk about it: Liu Huan and Na Ying, two stars that no one had ever thought would sit on the talent show judges' seat,

Now they are actually very excited about the students and they are bickering with each other over the students.
In addition, Yang Kun's "32 games" trick and Harlem Yu's shouting "Choose me, choose me" are all things that have never been seen in any previous program.
These elements make the audience feel "refreshing".

Therefore, from the first episode, it immediately became a hot topic in the entertainment industry.
Lingyun Media, relying on its good relationship with Zhejiang Satellite TV, also cleverly took advantage of the discussion to catch the first wave of popularity.

After the first episode aired,
It was officially announced by Lingyun Media and Zhejiang Satellite TV that the final champion of this year's "The Voice of China" will contribute an OST song to Lingyun Media's new Lunar New Year movie.

In an instant, the heat of the two was cleverly combined.

In an instant, it became a hot search on Weibo and major forums.

There is a lot of discussion online.

"It seems that Director Guan is riding on the popularity of The Voice of China, but who can really tell how popular this variety show has become?"

"Without Ling Yun's promotion, this thing wouldn't be so popular."

Lingyun Media's Lunar New Year movies are what the audiences look forward to the most, whether it's the previous "Taken" series of blockbusters, or the doomsday science fiction "2012", or the animation "The Wind Rises", Guan Ling can almost always stir up the stagnant water of the Chinese film and television industry.

There are so many movies that Lingyun Media is about to release this year, and they are the most anticipated blockbusters of the year.

Although you won’t make money for the time being when these two are combined, the benefits behind it are huge.

A definite publicity benefit.

Zhejiang Satellite TV cannot make movies and cannot earn money from making movies, but by cooperating with Guan Ling, it can make this variety show more popular in the second season, and advertising fees will roll in.

Lingyun Media does not care about variety shows, but with this kind of publicity, the publicity and promotion costs for the next few months can be reduced by more than half.

Each has it's own benefits.

Once you gain fame, you will have plenty of money.

……

"Director Guan, our Wanda is going to make an official announcement."

Wang Jianlin called Guan Ling and said that his previous cooperation with Guan Ling had entered the substantive stage, and he would be the first to make a splash in the Chinese film and television industry.

Guan Ling expressed his understanding.

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation in the future." Wang Jianlin said.

"Pleasant to work with."

Guan Ling sat in the director's chair with a normal look on his face.

He knew the ending of Wang Jianlin's previous life, but he didn't know if this life would be any different.

But as long as the real estate market collapses, his collapse is inevitable.

In some matters, we cannot afford to offend them now. It is not impossible to cooperate with them, but we cannot get too involved.

Compared with a company of Wanda's size, it is more important for Guan Ling to manage his own piece of land.

It's just that in the process of film production and distribution, Wanda can become an auxiliary force ahead of Lingyun, thus helping Lingyun Media to charge forward more fiercely.

……

"Director Guan, the news that your two summer blockbusters will be released soon and you will be working on an OST for a variety show really impressed these people in the industry. I didn't expect that you could save on publicity and promotion costs this way. Now these people are really scared and are asking me about your release date."

Guan Ling's news spread in the circle very quickly. Only two hours after the news was released, Han Sanpin called.

"Then let them be frightened."

Guan Ling said, "Why are you staring at me if you don't think about how to make a good movie every day? If you make a good movie, the audience will definitely live in the cinema."

"You said it well."

Han Sanpin said, "The current economic development is indeed good. There are many people who watch two or three movies at a time on weekends. Next time I have a meeting with you directors, I have to mention this matter."

The two chatted for a while, and Han Sanpin coughed twice and asked softly, "I heard that you and Wang Changtian have been getting close recently?"

The entertainment industry is indeed not an impenetrable wall.

Guan Ling and Wang Changtian had just met Jiaozi in the reception room, but later Old Han found out about it.

"That's true."

Guan Ling hesitated for a moment, "Guangxian is preparing to prepare a new type of film and asked me for advice."

"Has he made the advisory appointment yet?"

"Okay, if you want to work with me, I will." Guan Ling didn't give any details.

Han Sanpin immediately smiled and said, "It's a good choice to hang out with you."

The two didn't talk about anything substantive, but after hanging up the phone, Han Sanpin narrowed his eyes.

Ever since Wanda met Guan Ling last time, he always felt that something was going to happen.

Now it seems that his idea is right.

Because secretly, something is really going on.

...

2012 7 Month 21 Day.

Wanda announced that it has signed a merger agreement with AMC Theaters, the world's second largest cinema chain.

Purchase 100% of the company's equity, with an overall transaction size of US$31 billion.

The total transaction price of the merger and acquisition was US$26 billion, a premium of more than 70% compared to the previous market valuation.

The entertainment industry was shocked. This number not only shocked the entertainment industry, but also shocked the world.

A large number of media outlets created special web pages around this transaction, shouting "Wanda is so fierce" and "What can it do to shock the world?"

Guan Ling learned from Guy Naot that AMC's debt was as high as 20 billion US dollars, and there was also 4.5 million US dollars in equipment renovation costs.

Afterwards, Wanda made an official announcement.

"Wanda Film and Television Media and Lingyun Media will take the lead and jointly invest in a film distribution company integrating film distribution and marketing planning, Wuzhou Film Distribution Co., Ltd., with Dadi Times Film Distribution, Guangzhou Jinyi Film and Television Media, and Hengdian Cinema Line. The company's main business is the distribution of cinema films, with the mission of promoting excellent films and driving the continuous growth of China's box office."

For people outside the circle, this news is naturally just a simple announcement.

But for people in the circle, it means a lot.

"Lingyun Media and Wanda have cooperated? Doesn't this mean that Dadi Cinema Line and Wanda Cinema Line have cooperated? Play, play with your mother?"

Many people were shocked.

Even Han Sanpin, Ren Zhonglun and others couldn't help but narrow their eyes.

Just like China Film Group holds a monopoly over the right to import overseas films,
Wanda Cinema Line and Dadi Cinema Line are currently the top two cinema chains at the domestic box office. Although the cooperation between the two and the confirmation of their parent companies' film distribution companies cannot be regarded as a declaration of war against China Film Group Corporation and other companies, it does pose a real threat to them.

Distribution companies usually take 5% of the film's screening schedule. If a film distributed by other distribution companies or produced by other production companies offends Wanda and Lingyun, although they will not have the right to set the schedule, they will be given less screening schedule, which can still scare the film producers half to death.

China Film Group controls the time, while Wanda and Lingyun control the screening schedule.

The two have indeed formed a huge restraining effect.

For a while, the entertainment industry fell into a strange silence.

Even Han Sanpin didn't call Guan Ling to discuss anything.

He knew in his heart that since the news of the third license had been leaked, it was no wonder that other film and television companies were fighting desperately.

Holding the third license is almost equivalent to holding a golden ticket of immunity from death. As long as you have money and connections, you can obtain the distribution rights of overseas films. Then, whether you make a lot of money with this film or have your own company produce two fewer blockbuster domestic films, what you say counts.

Since the higher-ups want to let Hollywood movies run rampant in the Chinese market, they have started the wolf-raising strategy and are allowing Chinese films to develop under pressure.

At the same time, let state capital such as China Film Group make a lot of money and ruin many film producers who use the wolf-raising tactics, and don't turn against private capital.

Guan Ling just has a favorable relationship with China Film Group, so at least on the surface there is no direct confrontation.

The cooperation with Wanda is indeed beneficial to Ling Yun. Wanda can share profits with Guan Ling. For example, Guan Ling can earn some extra profits from some movies released by Wuzhou Film Distribution Company, and can also get more screenings for his overseas movies in Europe.

Wanda can also avoid having a huge competitor for the third license. Instead, it can share the license. At the same time, it can have a good cooperative relationship with Guan Ling and may also be able to participate in future investments.

This is the only way for Wanda Film and Television.
After the cooperation, there will not be direct resistance and contact between Wanda Cinema Line and Dadi Cinema Line, and the two heroes will share the profits. The team has a long-term vision and is not focused on temporary gains.

He is an extremely difficult opponent.

……

Just as the entire entertainment industry was undercurrent, several celebrities on the Internet caused a big incident again.

First, the emblem exposed her back, which triggered many female celebrities in the entertainment industry to tease her.

This prompted the response from his beloved wife Ma Yili: "I am in Hong Kong and you are in Beijing, who is the photographer?"

This then caused many netizens to gloat over the misfortune.

Although the explicit behavior is only a nude photo with the back turned on, the buttocks can be seen clearly, and it is indecent to post it on Weibo.

"Ben Zhang kept his word because he had previously posted on Weibo that he would post nude photos whenever his wife Ma Yili's TV series "Wind and Sunshine" won first place in ratings. Since this TV series won first place in ratings twice, he kept his promise!"

Later, their good friend Chen Yufan also argued with the emblem on Weibo, saying that if his wife Bai Baihe's new drama grossed over 50 million yuan, "I would swim naked for meters while lying down!"

Since Bai Baihe's new drama "Ups and Downs" is being broadcast live simultaneously on four satellite TV stations, Chen Yufan's words are intended to imitate her.

Even prepared to take it off.

At 1:39 a.m. the next day, he said on Weibo, "Hahahaha~ Brother Wen is awesome! Really manly! Great! Two points:

1. Huh? Why is the mole on your left butt gone?
Second, taking you as an example, if the box office of "Ups and Downs" or the new movie in which Bai Baihe participated exceeds 50 million again: "I will swim naked for meters while lying down!"
Please ask the editor to supervise and congratulate Ma Yili again for the continued success of Ma Siling~"

This declaration once again aroused the enthusiasm of netizens, who cheered for Bai Baihe, "Floating and Sinking has exceeded 100 million viewers, come on, Bai Baihe!" The high ratings and good reputation of "Floating and Sinking" since its broadcast have also made most netizens look forward to Chen Yufan's nude swimming photos. Netizen "Nykko_Liu Guangpu" calmly said, "Floating and Sinking will definitely exceed 100 million viewers, wait for the nude photo!" Netizen "Don't call me domineering sister is too hypocritical" succinctly summarized the two people's shouting at each other as "This is the legendary confrontation."

In fact, considering the current state of the entertainment industry, Emblem can be regarded as an absolute top star.

This news quickly became a huge hot search on Weibo. Once released, it was forwarded more than 10 times and received more than 7 comments. Even Weibo celebrity Yang Jinlin lamented: "This is just a back view. What if it turns over?"

Among them, Xie Na, Lin Xingru, Qin Hailu and Yao Dazui were particularly excited and even forwarded the article asking the emblem to do the backstroke.

After this comment, Chen Haoming sent a photo of a bathtub, claiming that as long as the ratings of "Journey to the West 3" starring him exceed 3, "I will remove the foam on it."

Even Pan Changjiang didn't want to follow Bilian's lead. When participating in the sitcom "Dream New Life" starring with Zhejiang Satellite TV host Chen Huan, he officially announced through his official Weibo account: "As long as Huan's show breaks 1, all the cast members of "Dream New Life" will swim naked together! Swimming style: backstroke!"

For a while, Weibo was in chaos.

"At first I thought the coat of arms was meant to be fun, but later on these things became more and more disgusting."

Liu Yifei complained when she was on the phone with Guan Ling, "This isn't a movie, who would like to see this on Weibo?"

Guan Ling didn't pay much attention to it at first, but by the time he found out about it, the matter had become quite a big deal.

It even affected the promotion of "Uncharted".

Because everyone started talking about whose butt was prettier.

"Uncharted" is actually not a very high-quality movie, and Guan Ling also made some minor repairs based on the problems of the previous movie, thus giving Zhu Yawen a stepping stone to enter Hollywood.

"Tell me, should I also post a nude photo on Weibo to promote it?"

Guan Ling was watching all this nonsense on the Internet when Zhu Yawen called.

"You're naked."

Guan Ling cursed angrily, and then called Weibo.

Five minutes later, some netizens suddenly discovered that not only were the nude photos of Meng Zhang gone, but he was also banned from posting on his mother's Weibo.

Wen Zhang had no choice but to inform netizens of this issue through Ma Yili's Weibo.

There was an uproar on Weibo.

Some people began to look for problems through their own connections in the entertainment industry.

Suddenly I thought of the great director Guan Ling who had previously worked with Lu Chuan.

Then, someone suddenly discovered that Guan Ling’s Weibo contained an eight-character proverb.

"Prosperity, democracy, civilization and harmony."

Boom! The Internet went viral! (End of this chapter)
