Coquettish Rebirth

"As for CCTV, I want to discuss it with our China Satellite TV. They just want to make up a few episodes of Journey to the West that they didn't film back then, and they heard that we seem to want to do it, so I want to ask if we want to do it. Get together and shoot together?" Yang Guang asked Jia Hongjian.

This question of his made Jia Hongjian stunned. Filming with CCTV?Fuck?If you shoot with CCTV, you will basically use the old lineup from more than ten years ago, and if this is the case, won't the things you shoot be similar to those from more than ten years ago?Filming something that was about the same as ten years ago, why did Jia Hongjian spend so much effort in researching information, revising the script, and still thinking of cooperating with Spielberg, and finally getting it on HBO to poison Americans?

Here, when Jia Hongjian was thinking about how to decline, Yang Guang still thought that Jia Hongjian was a little unclear about the relationship between them, so he took the initiative to explain: "When Journey to the West was filmed back then, because of insufficient technology and insufficient funds, So the filming was not finished, and a total of 25 episodes were filmed, such as the real and fake Monkey King. The working group went down to check the use of their funds... So now that the funds have been sufficient and the technology has improved a lot, they are thinking of re-shooting. If we cooperate with China Satellite TV, on the one hand, we have filmed Journey to the West Remember, the other one is probably because we have a lot of money here, and the equipment is not bad at the same time, so the non-linear digital editing in the later stage can be carried out simultaneously on our side.”

Yang Guang explained, but Jia Hongjian was not very willing to accept CCTV's kindness.After all, what he wants to shoot is different from CCTV's stuff, at least for now.The stuff that CCTV wants to shoot now is just a supplement to the version that was filmed more than ten years ago, but the stuff that Jia Hongjian wants to shoot is brand new!From this point of view alone, there is no way to cooperate, isn't it?

Besides, if people want to shoot a sequel, it must be shooting something that is in line with the world outlook, outlook on life, value, and product positioning of the previous film. There is a inheritance and continuation, and he Jia Hongjian.What he wanted to shoot was Journey to the West, which was more faithful to the original.It is such a relatively "subversive" thing, so the two sides will have differences in the overall positioning, and it is basically impossible to cooperate. [

"Forget it, this matter probably won't go together..." He said.Jia Hongjian told Lao Yang his thoughts.It's over here.Lao Yang thought for a while. "Okay, then I'll turn down Xiao Zhao...But Hung-chien... Oh, Mr. Jia. Is it okay for our film to be made like this? Will both sides fail? What I mean is that the editing of this film is faithful. It’s the original book, and its appearance is like a fairy, domestic audiences can’t accept it, and because there are too many Chinese cultures and Buddhist cultures in it, will it be difficult for foreign audiences to understand?”

Indeed, this is also a problem, but these problems should not only be paid attention to during screenwriting, but also during filming and post-processing.But from another aspect, the advantage of this Journey to the West is that it is more inclined to imaginative literature than Three Kingdoms, Water Margin and Red Chamber, and has fewer secular things-from a cultural point of view, but from a human point of view, The gods here act more like humans.So from a certain point of view, foreign audiences are unlikely to feel unacceptable when they are ready, at least Jia Hongjian believes in Spielberg and his level.

"You can just call me Hongjian. You have always been my elder. You can't say that you have to call me by my official name when you come to our company. That's too much." Jia Hongjian said very kindly, "But This matter should not be a big problem, and Spielberg should be able to handle it. By the way, old man, who is the new director of CCTV now? Didn’t you say that you want a new director to be the director? Didn’t you ask me later? ..."

"The new director, his surname is Zhao, and his name is Zhao Yong. He was originally a deputy director of our CCTV. By the way, he is also your alumni! He graduated from Fudan in 72!" Lao Yang said, and after he finished speaking, he looked at Jia. From Hung-chien's eyes, one could tell that Jia Hung-chien regretted that Sun Yusheng did not become the head of the station. In fact, in the past two years, because of Sun Yusheng's great contribution to the news commentary department, this old Sun has changed from the director of the news commentary department to the deputy head of the station. , but only the last one. "As for Da Sun, although I like him very much, he still has a quick temper. He often does not think carefully about things, and he tends to go directly to him regardless of the consequences. In CCTV, we all say that we are Crawling forward, many old habits and rules need to be slowly coaxed and coaxed to change. There is a lot of resistance. It is not enough to just rely on hard work, because rigidity is easy to break. Only those who really maintain the previous direction and do it..."

"Then you are very optimistic about this Zhao Yong?" Jia Hongjian asked curiously. In later generations, he didn't watch too much TV. After all, with the Internet, the acquisition of information really doesn't have much to do with TV. At most, when looking at the country's dynamics and future trends, I would watch "News Network" and ponder the voice-over of official stereotyped articles, but in fact, I don't pay much attention to CCTV.

"Well, as for Da Zhao, he has a lot of skills. He also worked all the way from the grassroots, from the small editor of the special topic department back then, all the way to the deputy head of the special topic department in charge of agriculture and ethnicity. The deputy minister, at the end of the 80s, he joined the Ministry of Economics, that is, the 2 program department, and then produced "Half an Hour of Economics" and "Economic News Network", which were well received by the central leadership. The program itself is also very good, so not long after I became the director, he also became the deputy director..."

Having said this, Lao Yang paused, "Generally speaking, he is quite groundbreaking, and at the same time he can grasp the pulse of the times, and he can also inherit our previous ideal of making CCTV into a world-class TV station, and he is also willing to Work hard for CCTV to become more market-oriented, and it can also make money, so I think about it, or he is more suitable..."

Here, while Jia Hongjian was talking to Yang Guang, he heard a sudden knock on the office door. After Jia Hongjian yelled, "Come in", he saw the bald Chen Peisi and the heroic but Zhu Shimao, who tilted his head a little, appeared at the door together. "Mr. Jia, hey, is Mr. Yang here?" As soon as the two entered the door, they nodded politely and enthusiastically to Jia Hongjian and Yang Guang.Here, Yang Guang saw someone coming in, so he took the initiative to say, "Mr. Jia, then I'll decline them first, and if there's nothing else, I'll go back first?" Tsk, look how colorful this old man is!Immediately I knew that the leader could only tell one subordinate one thing at a time, and what he said was not necessarily something that could be heard by B, so when he saw someone coming in, he had to go if he had to go, it was amazing to turn back and continue Talk when no one is around!

"Okay." After Jia Hongjian nodded, Lao Yang got up and was about to leave, but just as he got up, he heard Chen Peisi suddenly say: "Hey, Mr. Yang, please stay here first." ... Mr. Jia, we have something to discuss with you, Mr. Yang may also be able to help you with this matter, do you think Mr. Yang...?"

"Yo, what's the matter with you, you still need our old man to listen in? Old man, why don't you listen in?" Jia Hongjian asked curiously while asking the old man to stay.Yang Guang was also very curious at this time. After he came to China Satellite TV, as a retired employee, he mainly helped China Satellite TV coordinate the relationship with its brother TV stations, as well as with CCTV and Radio and Television.After all, he used to be the deputy director of radio and television and the director of CCTV. No matter what, he can be regarded as one of the leaders of various departments. Now he represents China Satellite TV. Even if he is a retired person, no one can give him three points. ?Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao, what else can he help with?Could it be that the show on the Spring Festival Gala was banned, and I want Lao Yang to send a message to let them go back to the show?No way, this Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao can basically be on the show as long as it is made!The level of these two people is here!

Lao Yang was curious here, and after seeing Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao looking at each other, the bald man said directly: "Mr. The TV head office, this head office is in charge of importing foreign TV dramas, and is also responsible for the publication of some of our CCTV film and television works. However, two days ago, Lao Mao and I discovered that there are two of us in the market that sell the TV head office. A collection of sketches for the Spring Festival Gala...this matter...they...haven't asked us..."

Upon hearing this, Jia Hongjian subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Lao Yang, but Lao Yang thought that Jia Hongjian was asking him what was going on, so he took the initiative to say: "This... isn't our CCTV Spring Festival Gala Have you ever signed a contract with you? I remember that it was the content of your CCTV Spring Festival Gala performance. This is the copyright of CCTV, right? This should be no problem legally? They also released the content of your Spring Festival Gala performance, right? ? Isn’t it performed elsewhere?”

As soon as the old Yang here finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Shimao, a guy from Jiaodong, with a stiff neck, "Mr. Yang, you can't say that. The Spring Festival Gala gave us 200 yuan a year, and then forced us to sign for the copyright. Others can walk acupuncture points everywhere, and Pei Si and I would rather go hungry than think about jokes at home. When did we go out to go acupuncture points? The 200 yuan...not to mention the 200 yuan, we also ask about the law I have gone through a lawyer. What we CCTV owns is the copyright of the entire Spring Festival Gala, not our individual programs. Even if we want to make a collection of our Spring Festival Gala programs, we will at least give us money for the publication. Say hello? Isn't it? In the end, we didn't even say hello, and we went out directly, and our names were hung, this thing is not authentic!" (To be continued...)
