China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 237 Booting up

Mei Ting was in a panic. She and Wang Shu were both public figures. If it was discovered and spread, they would lose their face!

Let alone filming, I have no shame to continue to stay in the entertainment industry.

No!

Absolutely not!

Nothing can be said!

Mei Ting stretched out her hand and twisted Wang Shu's leg, glared at Wang Shu and hummed in a low voice: "Be honest, watch the movie and don't think about anything else."

The twisting was a bit hard, and Wang Shu felt a hint of pain, and immediately reached out to push Mei Ting's evil hand away.

When Mei Ting saw this, she looked a little proud, as if she was saying to see if you still have something else in mind, I'll screw you to death like this!

But she didn't expect that as soon as she took her hand away, Wang Shu took her hand and then...
  Mei Ting seemed to be aware of Wang Shu's intention and quickly pulled her hand hard to prevent him from succeeding.

The two got into a fight.

After struggling for a while, the weak Mei Tiao was finally no match for the strong Wang Shu.

Her hands went where they were supposed to go.

The two looked at each other, and Mei Ting glared at Wang Shu resentfully.

But Wang Shu's eyes were encouraging.

Seeing that Mei Ting didn't make any move, Wang Shu stretched out his other hand and touched Mei Ting's face, and whispered: "Today is New Year's Day, I think."

When Mei Ting heard this, her heart softened, and she said with twitching eyes, "New Year's Day was yesterday, and now it's the 2nd."

Wang Shu smiled helplessly after hearing this and touched Mei Ting's face again.

Seeing this, Mei Ting sighed and started to move.

a long time.

Wang Shu leaned into Mei Ting's ear and whispered: "Use your mouth."

"No!" After hearing this, Mei Ting refused without saying a word, and then said righteously, "At most, this is the only thing. Don't think about anything else."

Wang Shu did not speak, but looked at Mei Ting quietly.

In this silence, there is tremendous pressure.

Mei Ting looked at Wang Shu and said with tears in her eyes, "Don't do this to me, okay?"

This sentence, coupled with Mei Ting's aggrieved look on Bala's face, greatly touched Wang Shu.

He reached out and touched Mei Ting's face, and said softly: "It's my fault, I'm sorry."

Seeing Wang Shu admitting his mistake in a low voice, Mei Ting felt warm in her heart and a smile appeared on her face.

The two looked at each other and then kissed selflessly.

The screening of "A City Full of Golden Armor" ended as time went by, and it was time for the two of them to leave.

After leaving the cinema and returning to the car, Wang Shu looked at Mei Ting in the passenger seat and said with a smile, "It's very late. Can you go to my house tonight?"

When Mei Ting heard Wang Shu's invitation, she glanced at him with a faint look in her eyes, neither rejecting nor agreeing.

This is the default!

At this moment, it is already past two o'clock in the morning.

It was past three o'clock in the morning when Wang Shu took Mei Ting back home.

Feeling sleepy, we both took a shower and then went to bed.

The night passed.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Wang Shu and Mei Ting had breakfast together, and then drove her back.

Then, he drove back to the company.

"Witch in Suit" first landed on Mango TV in late December, then on Beijing TV the next day, and then on Shancheng TV and An H TV.

The idol drama, which has only 20 episodes in total, is approaching its finale today.

Mango TV was the first to start broadcasting, occupying the first broadcast advantage, but the number of episodes broadcast at this moment is less than that of Beijing Satellite TV.

This is because the evening prime theater schedules of different TV stations are different.

Not to mention that Mango TV also has variety shows that occupy a large amount of evening time slots, and it lags behind several other satellite TV stations in terms of film schedule.

Beijing Satellite TV is not only a satellite TV station, but also a local station in Beijing.

Anyone who lives in Beijing and has a TV at home can basically receive the channels of this TV station.

Fan Binbin, Zhao Yanzi, Mei Ting and other artists in the Beijing circle can easily watch "The Witch in Suit" broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV as long as they watch TV at home.

At this time, "Witch in Suit" is no longer limited to being broadcast during the evening prime time on Beijing Satellite TV.

During the day, there are also reruns.

With the bonus of the TV drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", "The Witch in Suit" has extremely high ratings on Beijing Satellite TV.

The national average ratings have reached 4.01%, and the average city network ratings have reached 11.76%.

This is a terrifying statistic, and it directly shows the popularity of "Witch Sui".

Because before this, the national average ratings of TV series broadcast in Beijing Satellite TV’s prime theater rarely exceeded 3%.

"Witch Sui" directly achieved 4%.

Everyone at Beijing Satellite TV knows that if Beijing Satellite TV's market share had not been limited, this figure would have been even higher.

The basis for its judgment is not only the national average ratings of 4.01%, but also the city network's 11.76%.

These data show that if "The Witch in Suit" is released on the TV series, it is likely to be another hit drama with a national average ratings of over 10%.

After these data came out, Beijing Satellite TV immediately contacted Ykeshu Company to pre-purchase the TV rights of the two dramas "You from the Star" and "Secret Garden".

Staff from Shancheng TV, Anh TV, and Mango TV also came to Beijing to discuss matters related to continued cooperation with Yishu.

"Witch in Suit" not only has extremely high ratings on Beijing Satellite TV, but also has extremely high ratings on Shancheng, An H, and Mango Satellite TV.

Wei Ping, who had previously been interested in watching, contacted Wang Shu and wanted to buy the TV rights to "My Love from the Star" and "Secret Garden", but Wang Shu declined because he had already sold the rights.

In fact, he was deceiving Wei Ping.

The rights to these two dramas have not been sold.

Yangshi is quite overbearing, and production companies are restricted in every aspect when cooperating with them.

For example, the drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan" will only be broadcast on Yangshi TV Station and will not appear on other TV stations.

Unless the copyright expires, further negotiations can be made.

When Wang Shu filmed "The Legend of Zhen Huan", he relied on the stage of Yangwang to achieve results.

Now that the results have been achieved, there is no need to continue to cooperate with Yang Wang like a grandson.

Although the ratings of other satellite TV stations and local stations are far lower than that of Yangshi TV, compared with Yangshi TV, it still has some dominant advantages over the satellite TV station in terms of production, and some conditions can be negotiated.

If you cooperate with Yangshi, you can only be passive.

With "The Witch in Suit" having a good start, this time four satellite TV stations including Jingcheng and Shancheng have actively sought cooperation. The price of a single episode of "My Love from the Star" and "Secret Garden" is not 40W.

But 60W.

Compared with "Witch Sui", one episode has increased by 20W.

Moreover, it is still simulcast on four channels. In addition, it can also be rotated on local stations.

If it is sold to Yangshi, it will most likely be a 60W episode, which will be broadcast exclusively by Yangshi.

Whether it is the income issue or the carpet bombing issue that Wang Shu thinks of, it has nothing to do with Yangshi Broadcasting.

The only two advantages of broadcasting on Yangshi are guaranteed ratings and good face.

Wang Shu was sitting in the office, dealing with work and browsing recent entertainment news.

I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Ning Hao filming the "Who Am I" MV for Jing Tian.

Jing Tian debuted in 2006, and his first music EP was tailor-made for him by Zhang Yadong. The title song of the same name "Who Are You" was directed by Ning Han.

Then he co-starred with Liu Jiahui and Ye Jinsheng in the Republic of China action comedy "Anaconda".

At the beginning, he was a well-known music producer in China and cooperated with movie stars.

Now he is a new star in film, television and singing.

This year, Jing Tian will apply for and enter the Beijing Film Academy.

Yang Mi's boyfriend will turn his attention to Jing Tian. Yang Mi then breaks up with her boyfriend Hua Han, and the big licking dog "Damn Gentle" takes over.

Wang Shu saw on the news that neither party had a clear statement on the sensitive issue of whether Ning Hao would use Jing Tian as the heroine of his next movie.

Another pleasure.

Jing Tian really has no acting skills at the moment. Ning Hao definitely doesn't want to invite Jing Tian to play the heroine in his play. This choice is undoubtedly shooting himself in the foot.

Liu Yifei's acting skills are also very average, but at least there is a step-by-step process of going from supporting role in TV series to starring actor and then to heroine.

Jing Tian was different. She was the heroine at the beginning, and with a lot of people supporting her, her acting skills didn't improve for a long time.

Zhou Haiwei actually made her debut as a heroine in addition to playing a small supporting role in TVB's Taiwanese celebration drama.

It's just that the living environment of actors at TVB is different from that in the Mainland, and the strict tutoring and growing environment at Zhou Haiwei's home are also different from Jingtian's.

Therefore, although Zhou Haiwei can be regarded as the heroine at the beginning, she has been learning and growing, so that since her debut in 85, she has grown into the most golden era of Hong Kong Island in the 80s and 90s, and has become the most popular in Hong Kong Island in the 90s and 93s. Popular actress.

At that time, Hong Kong Island could be described as a bunch of "fighting gods", but Zhou Haiwei was able to stand out from the crowd.

When an opportunity came her way, she worked hard and took it.

Jing Tian has no shortage of opportunities, but he really has no acting skills.

Wang Shu glanced a few times and saw news related to Hong Kong artist Chen Huilin and "The City is Full of Golden Armor".

Kelly Chen attended the event and was asked about the director she most wanted to work with. Her answer was the same as all the Hong Kong actors - Zhang Yimou.

Then the reporter asked: "Have you seen "The Golden Jacket"?"

Chen Huilin said: "I have seen it a little bit."

The reporter then continued to ask: "Do you think the clothes underneath are beautiful?"

Chen Huilin shook her head vigorously and put her hands on her chest, "It's too tight and it's not conducive to growth, even though I have already grown."

2007 1 Month 7 Day.

Hainan Sanya, the crew of "Terror Cruise" secretly started shooting here.

Starring Gong Li, Liang Jiahui, Zhou Xun, Zhang Hanyu, Jiang Wu, Zhou Haiwei.

This drama has a leading female lead.
  Except for Gong Li, who is the absolute protagonist, the other actors are all supporting roles.

The character played by Leung Ka Hui has a romantic relationship with Gong Li, and he is more of a male character.

Zhou Xun and Zhang Hanyu have a romantic relationship, they are the second female and the second male.

Jiang Wu, who plays a muscular man in the play, is the third male lead.

Zhou Haiwei plays the role of the third female lead in the film, who gets a box lunch after the boat capsizes at the beginning.

Gong Li is already working in Hollywood now. Although she is not doing well, her status is real.

If "Horror Cruise" hadn't featured a leading female lead, a novel and high-quality script, and was written and directed by Wang Shu, who had produced "The Tuner" and "Space Traveler," she would never have accepted the role.

For Gong Li at this period, instead of wasting time acting in the mainland, it is better to stay in Hollywood so as not to miss the opportunity in Hollywood.

If "The Golden Armor" wasn't for Lao Mouzi and it was a real blockbuster, she wouldn't have accepted it.

With her status and fame, there is no need to film domestic dramas anymore.

Except for blockbusters and art films directed by Zhang Yimou.

The reversal of "The Tuner" proved Wang Shu's ability to direct suspense films, and the time-traveling setting of "Time Traveler" proved Wang Shu's ability to shoot science fiction films.

"Terror Cruise" is both suspenseful and sci-fi. Gong Li used "The Tuner" and "Space Traveler" as the basis to judge that Wang Shu is indeed capable of filming this drama.

In addition, Wang Shu was already a great director, and "Horror Cruise" was a rare drama with a female lead, so she readily agreed after reading the script.

It is undeniable that with Wang Shu's current status, countless domestic actors are eager to play roles with him.

Relatively speaking, Gong Li is an exception.

Because she has reached Gong Li's current status, domestic drama appointments are really not very attractive to her.

For her, who neither lacks the money nor the fame, and has already gone international, acting is useless and a waste of time and energy.

Hollywood is her battlefield.

This time, Gong Li agreed to cooperate with Wang Shu. The reason was that the excellent script of the heroine attracted her, and it was also a big-budget film co-invested and produced by Wang Shu and China Film.

Taken together, Gong Li is currently cooperating with the second director in China besides Zhang Yimou.

Although, as time goes by and young people of the new era enter the society, Gong Li slowly becomes obsolete.

Apart from his status in the entertainment industry, his reputation is no longer evident.

But in this era, Gong Li is the number one mainland actor.

No mainland actress can compare with her, she is unique.

……

The 7th is the first day of booting. We are mainly busy with some feudal superstitious activities, and then there is the much-loved boot party.

Since the movie "Cruise of Terror" has no more than ten actors in total, including children and taxi drivers, many crew members were talking about it during the opening party.

Like "A City of Golden Armor" directed by Zhang Yimou, or "The Night Banquet" directed by Feng Xiaogang, or "Ink Attack" and other blockbusters, who doesn't have a huge scene with huge crowds of people?
  As a result, when it came to the blockbuster film directed by Wang Shu, there were only a dozen or so extras in the entire film.

What is this ghost?

Although it is a modern film, there are too few people, right?

How can we shoot a big scene?

Without big scenes, how can it be called a blockbuster?
  Zhang Yimou opened the blockbuster era in the mainland with "Hero", which made many people in the film and television industry in this era talk about blockbusters. Their inherent thinking is that the cast is strong, the scenes are magnificent, the production is well-made, etc.

The cast of "Terror Cruise" includes Gong Li, Liang Jiahui, etc., which is indeed quite large.

However, there are just a few people in the whole show!

Because it was the first day of filming, many staff members on the crew did not understand the script, so they talked like this.

This is understandable.

Especially the setting of a large cruise ship, but there are only a few actors.
  The contrast is even stronger.
